CNN

I see a certain element of the media finally identified a Latino and a black who would support it's efforts to convince Latinos that they have a beef with African Americans .....the 'great divide' it has worked for weeks to verify (create). I guess we will be watching these two persons all the way to Tuesday. What happened to media remaining neutral???

Sen Clinton is very afraid of competition. If she wasn't, why is she trying to cheat and get Michigan and Florida's delegates seated?

Let's GO Obama – Our next President of the United States.

I listen to the new today and Alelfa Callejo stated that the only thing Obama has against him was that he is black. She is a great supporter of Clinton and Hispanic votes. When Clinton was asked about it she stated people could say what they want and she has no control. But later said that she would denounce and reject Callejo statement, but you notice she did not denounce or reject Callejo herself as Clinton knows she needs the Hispanic votes no matter what they say. But Hillary did not let Obama get away with that in debate, he not only had to denounce but reject his supporter.

Google "Clinton convicts" and see the results, that is the legacy of the Clintons from the 90s. Why should people with this kind of rap sheet want to rule us? America deserves better, vote to reject the Clinton THIRD TERM proposition.

The Clintons have so much baggage and can never win a general election in the country again. There is so much Clinton fatigue, Democrats wake up. The republicans will tear apart her phoney "35 years of experience". She is not in the White House and she is having meltdown, after meltdown.. God save America from the Clintons. Sleak Bill and Hill back in the WH, not going to happen.

What is this "experience" that everyone speaks of? Do you think George Washington had experience to be president, or Abraham Lincoln, who only spent one term in congress? Both of which were great presidents.

It was her husband that was president, not her. It would have been illegal for her to be in the room for any of those major decisions. The only thing that she really took head on while first lady was healthcare, and she accomplished nothing because she didn't want to budge on what she wanted. It was a failed attempt.

I think it's been proven by now that America needs a change. Over the course of the last 20 years we've had Bush-Clinton-Bush and now you tell me that we should elect another Clinton, that will accomplish nothing.

Besides all that, I think it's been proven that just because you're the relative of a president and you may understand the office, it does not mean that you'll make a good president. Just look at H.W Bush and W. Bush. Do we really want more of that?

Tuesday will not end this unless One..Hilliary wins in all four states by double digits or two Obama wins either Ohio or Tex. I believe our only chance at the white house is Obama. Clinton is just not a leader or motivator. She has proved from her other attempts that she can't deliver on her promises. Time will tell if Obama can.

Go Hillary go. bit Obama in Tx and OH

That is a lot of sentimental gushing from Mad in Texas. You and your son served in Army. Good for you, I'm sure your country is proud. But what bearing does that have on whether or not Obama is fool? Your appeal to emotions fools no one, least of all Obama voters who are already sick of that kind of deceptive rhetoric and will not be swayed one bit by it.

I'm supposing the bulk of the $36 million raised came from the new not-for-profit organization in California that doesn't have the dollar limits that regular campaigns do. How sad!!

Obama is not a "fool," but an articulate, honest, clear thinking visionary who will lead our nation in a way we can be proud of.

Keep the faith. Clinton will not survive this campaign.

To the people of TX, OH, RI, and VT, please vote for Obama. Let's end the Bush and Clinton Monarchy!

Hillary is the worst candidate I've ever heard. Her supporters have been brain-washed, especially gullible women who are promised a fools' paradise. Big mistake!
Not my vote Hill.

GO HILLARY........GO HILLARY...........GO HILLARY.............GO HILLARY
WE LOVE YOU...............WE WANT YOU...........HILLARY, HILLARY HILLARY GO GO GO!

Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island. Get out and vote for Hillary!! Take your family, friends and neighbors, every vote does count. Obama looks worse each day as the truth about him starts to come out. November will be too late. We are in very tough times and Obama is just too darn scary.

VOTE ON TH 4TH FOR HILLARY!

just wait too pa, just like texas, new toll road, and beating down industry, we have more lumber here then god has name. and more oil for the next 100 years protect the enviorment yes. but the the jobs it will create, be awesome.agree or disagree. the past 20 years are YOUR 'RE goverment at it best lol!

An article just came out not too long ago today by the Philadelphia Inquirer and it states, "Senator Obama once in 2003 and twice before that effectively voted for infanticide. He voted to allow doctors to deny medically appropriate treatment or, worse yet, actively kill a completely delivered living baby. Infanticide – I wonder if he'll add this to the list of changes in his next victory speech and if the crowd will roar: "Yes, we can." – Please vote for Hillary Clinton!

To P, Obummers full name wasn't what I stated as the issue. I don't care what his full name is. I don't elect any candidate on that basis. What I did point out and you seemed to miss, was his and the Democratic party's (whcih I belonged to untill just last year then changed to Independent so you know just what I am) lack of trust in the American people to be able to see as I did that it didn't matter what his name is and called to question that judgement on his part.

I like Hillary; however, I love Obama. He has conducted himself like a leader. In this crucial period of our history, we need somebody like him to lead us. Effective management and leadership are about choosing the right individuals for support. This is particularly evident in how he runs his campaign. If he selects a good vice president (which I believe he will) it will make-up for his lack of experience.

Obama supporters,

How can you follow such a fool? He can't even answer a question. During the debates, his only response is,'Yes, I agree with Hillary." He is so naive, that maybe we should send him down to Pakistan to fight next with Prince Henry. Or better yet, he should buy Jackos Neverland and leave there... This way his followers can and vist him and enjoy NEVERLAND....

Go HillarY we are with you....

Has anyone seen that Senator Clinton has put forth a program to help children from poverty with a 12 year program?? I know it isn't well publicized – but just wait – Obama will come out with something soon........he is fabulous at playing 'follow the leader'

Vote for a leader – Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Looks like Hillary has adopted the Ron Paul blogger-attack, eh? Every grandmother seems to be on the internet today.

Too late. She loses.

Hi Mad in Texas: I am also an Army vet who served in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf and you are right on target!!...But remember look at Obama's following; super liberals and cowardly liberal youths. They would be burning their draft cards today if there still was a draft. These kids are so anti-war and don't have the guts to fight for their country, but rather sit on the freedom the military provides for them. I know you are very proud of your son and I too am equally proud of him and all the other men and women serving our country. These liberals and the Obama followers should be supporting our troops, not talking retreat without victory. I only hope these supporters wake up before the election or will be doomed as a nation. Best of luck to you and your family. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Does anyone really think ,that all these independent voters will vote for obama in the fall?Give me a break!!!!
These people who say ,i cant decide between obama or Mc Cain are nuts!!!!Dems and Republicans are like night and day!!Pick one and stick with it.I cant stand Independent voters, How could you not ,be able to pick a candidate who best fits your values?If you want liberal judges vote for a Dem,If you want conservative judges vote for a republican!! Very easy not hard.
If you cant believe in a certain party,and be loyal to the message and agenda of that party.STAY HOME PLEASE!!Well i think ill run out and vote for Obama,because i hate Hillary.Then vote for McCain in the fall!You all suck!!And dont even understand what it means to be a Dem or a Republican!I wonder if Independents , have a hard time deciding who to sleep with,A MAN OR A WOMAN?or what to eat MEAT OR VEGGIES?Its not like the 2 parties have alot in common, when it comes to the issues.For christ sake pick one!

@Mad in Texas, I have respect for your service to the country but you forget the point, there was "NO" al quida in Iraq before US invaded it, US with its only utter stupidity created a haven for al quida there and only Obama had the brains to oppose it. That war has done US more damage (in every respect, loss of lives, finacial damage, loss of credibility, empowering US enemies) then what the terrorist could have ever dreamt of, so wake up, if any one is a fool its the onces who decided to invade Iraq, saddam must be laughing in his grave.

People the question was if the war was over and we leave Iraq, and Al Quaeda comes back-it was a hypothetical question, with Al Quaeda leaving Iraq. Obama knew Al Quaeda is in Iraq.

Wow.

It's a good thing the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon didn't have a Vietnamese name.

OBAMA in '08
he is the best candidate for AMerica – all of us
He has integrity and and is thougtful
HE does not / has not had everything handed to him
Hillary is a whiner,
America would elect a woman – i think – just not this woman

Ohioians cant wait till tuesday and i cant wait for Hillary to pull ahead
in the remaining states Go Hillary

Why do you guys even solicit comments? It's obvious you'll only print a tiny fraction of the pro-Obama comments, in favor of printing nonsensical vitriole in favor of CNN's favorite candidate...

What are the folks for Obama basing their decision on since he has NO real accomplisments except that he is a good speaker. He has no plans and we have yet to see any action. Plus Hillary has been raked over the coals by the media and we all noticed how Obama was looking for Hillary during the last debate to answer the Russian foreign policy question 1st as he had no idea of what to say or what foreign policy is... It is more than meeting with foreign leaders and letting them bask in your charm. Get real Obama. Hillary is a real fighter with a long list of accomplishments.

What experience did Bill Clinton who was a draft dodger, fled to Canada so that everyone else's son could die in Viet Nam while he perserved himself so that he could become the President. How dare you criticize Sen Obama. Sen Clinton during her first lady days was mean to the American women and now she want our vote. I DON"T THINK SO. Next President Sen Obama

Barack Obama is wise and has integrity. You can tell he is a thoughtful person. Hillary on the other hand – is used to everything being handed to her and when going gets rough – she whines. That is all I have heard her do is whine, whine, whine. I truly can not see her standing up as the Democratic nominee and winning. I think America would vote for a female – just not this female – she is too hung up on just one thing – healthcare. THat is her baby – I'm afraid every other problem would go to the wayside – just as it appears that Bush has a one track mind about IRaq – and his information was wrong. ONly focusing on one thing is wrong.
Barack Obama would but be great for AMerica – all of us !!

GO OBAMA!!

Close races are wins for Obama no matter the outcome. Hillary has to win all the remaining primaries with 60% of the vote, just to close the delegate gap.

She'll be lucky to win any at all, and she definately won't win any on Tues with 60% of the vote, if she wins any at all.

This race is far from over. Hillary WILL win Texas. And it will be time for Obama to get out of this race. He had divided the Democrat party, yet he thinks he will unite Democrats and Republicans! GET REAL!
He will not win a General Election. He needs to concede so Hillary Clinton can try and WIN the Presidency. If Obama is the nominee, the Republicans WILL win the Presidency, and that is a guarantee. Anyone in doubt needs to go back and look at voters in a GENERAL ELECTION across the entire United States! Obama needs to get out of the race.

I do not expect Obama to win in Texas and Ohio....McCain is attacking him daily and bringing up serious drawbacks and cocnerns about Obama....Clinton on the other hand is putting forth her poverty and children programs....Even President Bush atatcked Obama at his news conference....Obama's campaign is in for a shock on March 4th.
Clinton wins in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island.

Kent,

HILARY= 35 years, no results

We can go on like this all day, but I think it is going to be more productive if we unite!

Hillary= all words, no action, no time for the little states, no integrity, more scandals

Well, I'm currently serving in the US military and have been for over 20 years and I am voting for Obama. Don't confused that there is some sort of pride in dying in a unjustified war that will lead to us just pulling out in the end or having to continue to spend billions of dollars to keep our troops away from their families for years to come. I would hope that anyone who served in Vietnam or Korea would understand as the watch their brothers in arms die for what ended up being a waste. I know we need to have some sort of conflict to justify increased military spending, but this is not a good justification. Wake up out of your slumber, we need to worry about the economic WWIII that is going to be waged by the countries we depend on for oil (Saudi, Venezuela) and everything else ( China). We can't come together as a nation to become stronger, remember the saying "Divide and conquer"? The main reason why Obama is the best candidate for this day and this time is because he is willing to unite Americans and not just the right or left.

Hey Hillary–Got Honesty?

Where is the WH china?

MJB,

First of all, he has a beautiful name! He is not the kind of person to have shame!

I think hillary should stop useing bill in her election, he is putting a damper on her election, whats going to be his title first lady if she elected? anyhow i think obama, has a better chance too win, i will vote for him this country needs new young blood . go obama

WHO 'S THIS "MAD IN TEXAS"

Texas is Ready for Change, Texas with the Grace of God many of whom support Obama. Remember the Texas Two Step

I will be out on I-20 and Cooper Praying for a change join me a the poll and vote for Obama

It's already over for Hill-Bill...just a mote in the public eye. I just hope Obama doesn't feel pressured to offer VP to her.

Well this vote is going to be easy–I'll try to vote for decency and honesty. That leaves Hillary out, but maybe Obama or McCain.

Remember the MOVIE "The Distinguished Gentleman" a conman played by Eddie Murphy?? Seems eerily similiar to whats happening in our presidential race!!

It is said communication is 93% non-verbal. If one mutes the sound on the debates and observes Hillary's body language from the beginning debates to present, it is evident she does not have the intestinal endurance for this kind of blood sport. What would happen if she got into the White House and had to cope with the pressures of people from an opposing political party, foreign hostile countries, the U.S. Economy, etc. Bet on the long distance runner...not a sprinter.

This is very simply!!!Obama is 100% LOGIC!!He is as smart as it gets for a true president!!He is very dedicated to issues that matters to every single american!!,and oh yes he is extremely professional!!OBAMA '08!!!

These polls are all cnn tainted. Hillary is going to win it all. Expereince counts . Would you rather go flying with a person who has three flight lessons or 300 its a no brainer. Well except if you are that old ugly balding negative idiot JACK CAFFERTY what a scumbag

Vinnie SoCal

I am viewing you right now and your reporters and Cafferty are clowns. You skip theTexas l polls and go to your "crap' that Clintons are losing the national pools. You think that for one moment ,believe that the republicains are going to bend their knee down and say " tell us oh bgreat Obama how do you want us to surrender on "choice for women", Gun control which Obama supports, Justices to the court, your got to be "kidding". Cafferty, an idiot that has made me think to vote republican for the first time in my 81 one years of life. Cafferty has to be brain damaged to talk the way he does. Please go back to the Cafferty file, this poor man has "Lost it".

Jack Cafferty, Do you know it's getting ugly out there? CNN is so biased against Hillary and you are the ugliest of all. Keep your male totosterone out of your mouth.

Whay are you only reporting positive news for the Obama campaign (superdelegates switching to Obama) why are you not reporting the
superdeletage that has switched to Clinton in Texas ? Take
a read on the Houston Chronicle website today !

I am now convinced that CNN is biased in favor of Obama !

no matter who steps forth on those steps in dc we have, to stand with that person,no one is perfect. but 20 million of us ,can change america.GIT IT DONE! UNTIED OR FALL.

McCain will win in November if Hillary is the candidate. Bottom line is that most voters are simply tired of the Bush/Clinton dynasties.

Most independents will vote McCain just for a change.

Obama... we simply looking at a man with a sharp tongue that will only lead us to disaster.
Republicans want Obama to win... he will be easily debated and torn to shreads. I think there is more to this man we do not know about.
Everyone knows Clinton........... she has nothing to hide while no one I know knew Obama's name till this election started.
People are not demanding enough answers from him.
Why did he stop talking to the press for the next week?
Sounds like he just wanted to keep his mouth shut till the primary election next week because it would hurt his votes.

Pls dont be swayed by rhetorics. Do a little research and decide.
You have everything on your fingertips like google. Please do it so you wont regret.
I would like to share this:

Century 10 Quatrain 78 says

"A soldier of fortune with twisted tongue
will come to the sanctuary of the gods,
He will open the door to heretics
and raise up the Church to militant."

CLINTON= All husband's work and record and lots of wrong costly decisions
OBAMA= A real change we can believe in, and a leader connected to the heartbeat of american people

CNN called the race in Wisconsin with only about 3% of the vote in. Say no to polls, pundits and those that choose to manipulate or make the news before they report it.

I live in Texas....I always lie to pollsters. Best to leave them baffled and enjoy the surprise.

Mr Texas, al queda is everywhere, whoooo ...No serious, the Iraqi people need to stand up for themselves as a country as a nation of people. You know they need someone like Barrack go over there to rally them up and get them to take back their counrty from the terrorist. They need a little motivation and stimulation just as the economy does.

I just want to say that I am behind you 100% Hillary. You can do it. It's time America woke up and realized NO for BHO and YES YES for Hillary. GO HILLARY

If Hilary loses it is because of her negative campaining and her angry supporters! Listen, anger and hatred is not the answer! Does anyone see what is going on here? This is incredibly damaging and disgraceful. I am an independent and strong supporter fo anyone who will get the job done. I have obsessed over these primaries for months, constantly reading each of the candidates senate pages and campaign pages! One morning, it finally registered! Hilary has been serving this country for 35 years right? what changes has she made? She has gone along with the status quo for decades to achieve her personal goals! She voted for this war, voted present on plenty of issues, voted for horrible bills that benefit big business (ie., insurance companies)! Please tell me specifically what she has done to change the the tactics of the republicans? I am eager to hear the answer, because I have failed to find such evidence in my long night sof reading the issues.................. SHE IS WASHINGTON! I want something different!

To Mad in Texas,

Maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened if your fellow Texan hadn't stolen and election then immediately went on a 3 month vacation. What President goes on vacation within his first six months on the job. What if he had been diligent and on point and actually read intelligence reports about the threat of terrorists using planes against the US. Did you say he's a racist? Are you serious? His mother is white, he was raised by white grandparents........... get a life.

Knowone, not even you, could do as much damage as Bush has in the last seven years.

How could anyone think Hillary is a good option for running this country. She can't run a campaign with a consistent theme.

Thank you for your years of service to this country as well as your families, but please keep your ignorance confined to your home.

Barack '08

WOO-HOO TEXAS AND OHIO WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY !

GO HILLARY!

WE WILL DELIVER A VICTORY FOR HILLARY ON TUESDAY !

I CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT I DONATED TO THE 35 MILLION DOLLARS CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION IN FEB. AND WILL CONTINUE EVERY WEEK! THANK YOU ALL AND KEEP DONATING TO HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN. SHE NEEDS US MORE THAN EVER, JUST LIKE WE NEED HER MORE THAN EVER.

My fellow Hillary Clinton supporters let us ignore the polls. The polling business is being conducted with their own biases. As I watched the past two democratic debates, Senator Obama failed to convince me that he is ready to be the next president of the United States. Most of his answers to the questions were just enhancments of Hillary Clintons answers.

The more people see of this women the less people seem to like her. How ugly can she make this race get? Is she still a democrat? Did anybody check? She might as well join McCain and Bush in all their attacks and side with that old dying or deadpart of Washington and all its lobbiest THIS IS THE PAST VS THE FUTURE ...When you go apply for a job yes the younger generation is perferred over experience..

Go Hillary!

Billary's supporters seem upset, specially when they write the same things over and over again in capital letters. Weknow that Hillary was going to use whatever she can to get to whatever she wants. Her offensive tactics, similar to those of the far right... yes, compare those and you will see she is not much different from Rush and his followers......
interesting I find it.

The momentum is on Obama's side. Texas will be her graveyard.

Nobody is completely honest, but Hillary will be dishonest from day one. She will blame everybody, as you have already seen, and she will have temper tantrums, when she doesn't get her way. She is too unstable for me, and I will never vote for her.

America,
The people voting for Hillary don't care about honesty or integriy, but it reflects every decision you make. George Bush supporters did not care about intelligence, and look where that has gotten us.

I don't care who you vote for as long as it is not Hillary. If you do, it will be a continuation of the lies, scandals and misdeeds. The only difference is, we have to focus on the war, not Hillary's drama.

You can look at Hillary and clearly see the woman is backed up in one of two ways or both. Either she's not getting any or needs more fiber.

Hillary is toast..plain and simple. I dont believe she will be able to win in Texas and Ohio by any margin necessary to give her the lead or catch up with Obama.

Obama opposed Illinois' Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which made it unlawful to kill a child once it was already out of the womb.

people need to wake up and see HILLARY must get the nod or the US
is in bigger trouble if obama get's to the white house...VOTE HILLARY

Mad in Texas,

I feel for you and your son! Plenty of people are complainging, so get your head out of the sand:-)

SHOW ME TEXAS FOR HILLARY 08...Get your friends to the polls and OHIO you can do it to!!!!I agree Ann Richard woukld be Campaigning her Heart for Hillary and she was a trailblazer who we all miss and love so dearly. Do it for Ann !!!!HillaryClinton.com Join Us today and call all the states that haven't voted yet. Go to your caucus and be that speciall delegate from your home state.

HillaryClinton.com Join,Volunteer and contribute to HISTORY..........

BL-NYC,

First of all, Barack has done more for his state than you give hime credit! Are you a Illinois rseident? No, I did not think so........... What has Hilary done for your state? Besides buy an enormous house in Westchester and skipping around NY claiming to have Jewish heritage! Oh, do not let me forgot, she sported a Yankees cap a couple of times.............give me a break! Look at his senate page, READ! Now , I understand that some bloggers like yourself refrain from the disclipline, but I encourage you to read and look at all of the bills he has fought for while in the senate and at the state level (which he was in for many years). I am so tired of Hilary supporters going negative! What will these do for the party? It will allow John McCain to become president! Democrats make me sick!

Here we go again. Clinton starts to take a lead and people start to wake up and the media takes over claiming Obama the winner! I'm sick of these polls... if we get Obama will Oprah be his running mate? I simply can't believe that we are selecting inexperince over an intelligent, hardworking, devoted woman. Oh, I get it.... it's because she's a woman.

As a Texas native, I agree with Tony from MD. I support Obama, respect McCain, and am really bummed out by the idea of Billary back in charge. I just think her divisive and negative approach will further divide our country. That would be bad for America whether I agree with her specific policies or not.

For what little it is worth, I will say that in hometown of Austin, my democratic and republican family/friends are enthusiastic about Obama. Most of them are planning on caucusing for the first time ever because they feel that strongly about it.

Even if people talk they will be tired with there fear when obama will keep wining in ohio and texas.am sure obama will win as the poll statistics keeps telling us.i will vote for obama and if clinton wins then i will vote republicans for mc cain.Am a latino and i bet you obama is famous and liked by most young and white colar latinos.i will vote for obama till last minute.OBAMA GO AND OBAMA FOR LATINOS

Oh my god I don't believe what I am reading....Are the people finally seeing through the hype and seeing a Big Obama nothing ? I knew America would eventually cut through all the ticker tape parade crap and start asking for numbers on paper. I think that the closer we get to the primaries, the more people will want solid explanations of Obama's issues...guess what ? They aren't there. GO HILLARY

Sylvia, you're only ashamed of your country just now? Where have you been for the last 8 years?

Tuesday can't get hear fast enough. I ready for these 3 states to vote. I getting really tired of the whole thing.

But since Hillary thinks the job of president is owed to her, we will probably be watching this thing go thru to June.

I Know what Ann Richards would be saying and campaigning for HILLARY so Honor her and Vote Hillary 08..Join HillaryClinton.com call friends and take them with you to the polls.
TEXAS IT"S BIGGER AND BETTER SO SHOW ME HILLARY 08........

Good for you Texas!!! Make it happen. I wish I was American so I could vote...... but I did buy a tee shirt that says OBAMA 2008 !!!!

at some point democrats need to stop fighting each other.

i wonder if cnn will post this..........just a few short days ago cnn had hillary dead and burried,what happened....polls show hillary ahead in rhode islan,ohio and a virtual tie in texas,however a poll out today, latino decisions show hillary with a large lead among latino voters,just remember guys,vote twice in texas,primary daytime caucus at night,vote hillary clinto 08,hillary clinton stands for strength,experience obama?uncertainty.

Who can trust Hillary who will say everything to get a vote.

Every single day she makes all kinds of eronious promises and expect people to be gullible to swallow her crap. Hillary needs to understand the voters, well except for the Latinos, are not as gullible as she thinks.

Get real Hillary, you cannot in a million years deliver on your stupid promises.

WE Hispanics are sick and tired of the phony CLINTONS and their lies. THEY have just used us and discarded us when WE are inconvenient. HILLARY fired her HISPANIC campaign manager and we wont forget that insult to ALL us HISPANICS.. VOTE BARACK OBAMA 08

wake up people how can people say obama can't win and yet he just flushed clinton 11 straight win ,i wonder when pple say obama is not popular,then he happens that he won 11 straight states.maybe they dont know how to read ,it means yaeh he obama won 11 straight states and guess what obama is liked by all races unlike clinton who is depending on latino votes,if she want to win she should remember tx is not only for latinos but all other races,so obama is popular in all races including the latinos.am from houston and have latino pals and they are for obama.Guess what obama haters will shut there mouth come march 4th,as thery have been shut before in the 11 straight states.Dont hate obama,join him and OBAMA FOR 2008.GO OBAMA GO! WE ALL BEHIND YOU,OBAMA MANIA

hate is a very strong word,, with that said,,, i do not know you, but i love everyone until they hurt me or my family or friends,,,, just a thought to get that negative out of you..

Go Barak Oama! YES WE CAN!!!

lets remember one thing folks hiliary doesnt have to just win in ohio, and tx but she has to win by a large margin and i dont see that happening (maybe in ohio) the dems are not like the repub meaning winner takes all the delegates so even if she wins obama will still get enough or maybe even more delegates thus winning even if he looses tx and ohio. the obama movement is tooo strong the country is ready for change and he is the man for the job !! hiliary cant bring independents, republicans to the polls to vote dem in nov but he has already proven he can and will. for the past 24 yrs their has been a bush or a clinton in office enough is enough after march 4th what are hiliary supporters going to say then its ok hiliary pull a huckabee and we will end up with mccain in the white house and i will be deployed to iraq again THANKS WANT TO JOIN ME WHEN I GET ON THE PLANE ... I DIDNT THINK SO

this is typical cnn there is a poll out today called insiders advantage.. has hillary beating obama in texas 49-45. but we dont here about that the media only shows the ones obama ahead in.

Obama is the punch no one seen coming. McCain need to have a good record in the ring. Because Obama has a good jab and a deadly upper cut. Honestly, Hillary knows for a fact. She still feel the effects. So McCain put up your dukes or get knocked out.

Lord help us if Obama wins. Why is it every time some news report on Obama comes out the media covers it up? Now if it's Hillary they run it in the ground. At lest Hillary uses her full name , she's not hiding anything , Lord knows she couldn't if she wanted to. Hillary we are behide you all the way.

Goodbye Clintons!! You dragged the party so far to the right that you (i) enacted NAFTA; (ii) killed any chance of health care reform in the 90's (and now you want another bite!!!); (iii) signed Welfare Reform (with the broken promise to "fix it: later and (iv) bill, hillary and the rest of the party allowed W to march into war. Triangulation did not serve the party or the people of this country well, and now Hillary's attacks (the farrakhan crap, the picture of the African garb that was first admittedly sent by the campaing then denied, the total disdain for large swaths of this country that handed Obama 11 victories in a row, the cynical pledge to undermine the people's voices by seating delegates in states where you pledged not to run and not to count, and the feeble hope that the the corporate insiders will hand you the nomination). You have kicked around this country long enough, we are a democracy, not an oligarchy, don;'t let the door hit you on the way out . . .

Hillary supporters need to take off their blinders and realize that half the country hates her. That is not the type of figure we need as a president.

You are the rep of Obama`s fans

TO OBAMA SUPPORTERS

MAKE SURE YOU BRING AT LEAST 3 FRIENDS TO THIS MOVEMENT, CONVINCE A SIBLING, A PARENT, GRAND PARENT, COUSINS OR A FRIEND
I WON'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS MOVEMENT OF CHANGE AND I INTEND TO BRING TWICE OR EVEN MORE THAN I HAVE DONE.

DO NOT JUST LOOK AT GOOD POLICIES BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE LYING AROUND, THEY'LL TELL YOU ANYTHHING TO GET YOUR VOTE AND ONCE THEY ARE IN POWER THEY LOSE THEIR MEMORY.

VOTE FOR SOMEONE THAT HAS CARED FOR PEOPLE, VOTE FOR SOMEONE THAT WILL OWE YOU, NOT THE LOBBYISTS IN WASHINGTON. SOMETIMES POLITICIANS TAKE THE PEOPLE AS DUMMIES THEY USE PEOLE TO GET IN POWER IN ORDER TO SERVE THE ELITE. WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT CARES FOR US NOT FOR OUR VOTES A GOVERNMENT WHO'LL DO EVERYTHING THEY 'RE SAYING THEY WILL DO.

WE NEED A PRESIDENT THAT HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR CHILDREN ESPECIALLY THEIR LIVES, A PRESIDENT WHO WILL NOT GIVE HIS OR HER VOTE TO AUTHORIZE UNJUST WARS WHERE THEIR CHILDREN ARE STAYING HOME, ENJOYING PARTIES AND OTHER THINGS AS OURS ARE GIVING AWAY THEIR LIVES. PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP TELL ME WHICH ONE OF THESE CANDIDATES OR LAST PRESIDENTS BUT MCCAIN THAT HAS HAD A CHILD AT THE COMBAT FIELD...............THEY CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN BUT NOT FOR YOURS.......EXPERIENCE??????? IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE IT WILL GET YOU TO A POINT YOU'LL BE CRYING ALL OF YOUR TEARS. YOU DO NOT NEED JUST EXPERIENCE

I look forward to Obama running against McCain, and winning the office of president. Hilary is smart, but her plans were drawn up for New York, not the U.S. How can she have a plan or program for all of our problems – and who did them. When would she have time. And, everything doesn't fall into a plan – you have to be able to think on your feet. I don't want a president who is always barking – every time I hear her I want to turn the station.

Hillary Clinton IS the Real Solution. I've met both her and Bill, she is smart, friendly, genuinely caring and personable. When she says she is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and work for the people, she means it. She is driven by America and has a true love for this country and the shape it is in now. People ask what she has done. One of the things she focused on in the 1990's was The Family Act, and without her driving force behind the Family Act, I would now be out of a job. Because Hillary Clinton cares, millions are still working and more will go to work when she takes office. Obama is just another Jimmy Carter in the making. I hope Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Pennsylvania will give Hillary Clinton a chance. Arizona did!

People of TEXAS, OHIO, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, we need to get off the fence and stop this ignorant nonsense. OBAMA is a fool. Take it from someone who spent 28 years in the Army infantry. The Nam, Desert Storm Veteran. I have a Son who is a Infantry Battalion Commander in Iraq today on his third tour. He and his men are not complaining. There are Al Quida there. And have been in Iran and Iraq all along. They are most all over the country now because of our neglect to go after them after 911. Do not be fooled by a glib talking man who along with his wife are racist. Have you ever looked closely at his news pictures when he is looking at white people's backs. It is pure hatred coming out. Don't fall into a slumber like we did in World War II. World War III is upon us and we need to be prepared. We do need bases in Iraq and we need plenty of troops there. If you want another 911 then vote for this man who knows nothing about running this country. Then pray for your wiv es and children. VOTE HILLARY or McCain if you have to, but keep this man out of the White House.

We only believe CNN`S Poll result !!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hillary was not running the white house or was she? What experience......give us a break.

Hillary's momentum is growing, AND she's doing it while the media acts like she's already out. She's a fighter. She's in it to win. Let's get together and bring victories for Hillary in TX, OH, RI, VT!

Hillary's momentum is growing, AND she's doing it while the media acts like she's already out. She's a fighter. She's in it to win. Let's get together and bring victories for Hillary in TX, Oh, RI, CT!

Ok. Lets end the crucifiction of Hillary, TX and OH. Vote for Obama. Same basic Democratic principles, on with an honest candidate, who knows the value of disarming adversaries with a smile and a laugh, not by be-raiding, or chiding them. I am tired of partisan politics, and dynasty. Put me out of my misery, and end both Hilary's and our suffering. Ultimately if you vote for Hilary, and this continues the democratic party looses too. To Recap: 1) end Hilary's suffering 2)end Dynasty and Partisan politics 3) save us from John McCain. Yes YOU can. Vote For Barack Obama.

I believe the citizens of Texas and Ohio are free thinkers and will not follow the media-led cult to the "cheerleader". Hillary in '08!

In the end, Hillary will prevail. Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont, it's up to you to put the Best, the Brightest and the strongest as our front runner against the Republican nominee, which is Hillary. Only Hillary can defeat McCain. Obama will be nailed to the cross by the Republican machine and lose to McCain. Don't be fooled by mirrored speeches that Obama brings to the table. Obama wasn't even around when Martin Luther King, Ceasar Chavez, etc. to mirror their speeches or "Yes you can" phrase.

Hillary's the Right person and the Only person to become our next President!

Clinton wants to be "crowned" the President because she has decided that she wants it. What is her experience that she keeps talking about. Is the spouse of the CEO of a company the logical choice to be the next CEO? The incompetence of her campaign shows she has no leadership skills. Obama has shown that he can motivate people and unite them to a common goal. It does not matter what the trivial details are of all these "programs" as there will have to be negotiations and compromises to get a solution that works for all stakeholders. Thats what OBAMA has shown he is good at. What is the point of sending in Clinton who will insult and try to ridicule anyone who does not agree with her.....that is why these things have not beeen accomplished on previous attempts.

I don't trust poll. I believe Hillary will win.

Thank you CNN, finally give Hillary some coverage. I was wondering if all CNN peope were have rally for Obama last two weeks.

HILLARY IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT WILL GET MY VOTE!

Contrary to what many are led to believe, there are a lot of black people voting for Hillary.

So now we have Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, McCain and now even President Bush knocking/challenging whatever Obama says. What does this tell us? The Republicans must think that McCain has a better chance to win if he runs against Hillary. Competing against Obama would be more difficult. And Hillary and Bill don't want to share any of their income tax records until after the votes have been counted on Tuesday–makes you wonder what they are hiding!

If Hillary is so experienced why can't she get her taxes pulled together and reveal them to the voters before they have to vote? Why did she run out of money and need to lend herself $5 Mil? Why did she have to reorganize her campaign staff mid-season? Why has she had to change "who she is" 97 times during this process?

Everything I'm seeing in her "actions" tells me that she's not "ready" on day one. She says she is willing to "answer the phone at 3am and "work the nighshift." She appears to be more of a "micro-manager" than Obama. She feels she has to do everything herself. Obama is a leader who will inspire his staff and the people of this country to do great things and move us forward.

Why do people say..Hillary is dishonest??? She will be Served and not Serve?? She is tit and tat...Where did you learn this from? Just agreeing with BO huh? Just agreeing with the haters who write untrue Facts on her huh?

Why not actually, stop listening to speeches, and do the actual work of researching information of each candidate?

Even Obama knows Hillary is way Qualified than him.

Why don't you search the archives for CNN or youtube and search: Obama will not run in 2008 due to lack of experience.

She thought NH and SC would be the firewall. Then super Tuesday was the firewall. Then she said "Meet me in Texas" and "Meet me in Ohio." I think she will win if she stops inviting him to these states and just campaign. The man seems to win everything he has touched lately. If you don't win TX and OH, please don't say meet me to PA. It hasn't worked before.....and probably won't work in the future.

Who am I kidding, lose OH or TX....its over.

Folks –
Let's stick to the basics. If we're looking for greater transparency in Washington, please ask Mrs. Clinton to release her tax returns, her husbands White House papers, and truly demonstrate that she could represent "change we believe in." To date, she cannot be believed.

V in Ca states, "t looks like Obama's support is dropping a bit. People are finally starting to question him. Lots to be worried about, there."

And what evidence do you have of this exactly? The fact the media and the Republicans have turned their attention to them should be a signal to the Hillary supporters that the writing on the wall. But hey, she'll have some time to finish those pesky tax returns on March 5th, no?

Again, I wish HRC supports would stop telling everyone to wake up. How condescending.

What has the queen of earmarks done in her years in the Senate to make us believe she will right this economy and nation? She voted for the war and the continuation of the war....major reason we're in this mess.

If you count her 8 years in the White House, which she wants us to, you have NAFTA....which is one of the other major reasons we're in the mess. Of course she will deny NAFTA. It's never her fault. She is only responsible for the postives.....which are what?

So why HRC? She is a HUGE part of the problem! Tell me supports where has she been tested and risen to the challenge? HRC dodged the question in the debate but maybe you can tell me.

Please post this...thank-you

I

Thank you for the info LatinoNation..I know that the Latino vote in Texas will be huge for Hillary as in Florida.

I want to say to Texas and Ohio: Thank you to all (whether latino or not) for voting realistically and making the right choice in casting your vote for Hillary.

CNN, stop censoring these message boards. I submitted a post that was not offensive, nor is there too much volume on this board to not post it. I pointed out the need for 3rd party candidates like Nader, who the Republicans and Democrats are scared of. Apparently, you lack the integrity to operate an objective news organiztion, feeling the need to censor info. that isn't in line with your views or your candidates. Guess I'll have to turn to Fox like everyone else.

Hillary's supporters are now pleading for votes on the CNN blogs...LOL man this desparation is just hysterical!!!

Thank you to all democrats for turning out in record numbers. This speaks well for us no matter who you support.

Hillary 08, Obama 016

The Media wants to drive these primaries with their poll numbers ... why don't we just wait and see what happens Tuesday and let the voters decide without the Media hype!

Obama/Clinton will bankrupt this country into oblivion with their welfare state. McCain will do the same with his warfare state.

The dollar is no longer wanted in the world, because none of the above address monetary and fiscal policy.

Why do we stray so far, when the answer is clearly spelled out in the constitution...

Ron Paul has my vote

What is McCain's middle name? Huckabee's? Don't see people referring to anyone using their middle name except Obama. Let's be real here people. It is just for purposes of smear.

However wins, we democrats must stick together

The ARG also took a poll in Texas for the Republicans as well as the one mentioned above for the Democrats.

It shows a strikingly different result. Huckabee only trails McCain by 4% in that poll.

Clinton may win in Ohio. If she won Texas, it wouldn't be by much. I think she needs to win Texas by at least 15-20 points.

I sometimes wonder who they talk to when they do this polls????

I believe Hillary will Hold Texas and Ohio and RI. and maybe even vermont.

But as for Texas and Ohio-It will be Hillary's all the way.

People wake up! Do you want a President that whines and jabs and changes colors for the next 4 years? Hillary is a corrupt phony and we deserve better than her.

If someone will tell me how many African American voters there are in Texas ,how many latino' voters, and how many white voters then we will all know who is going to win==At least that is what the media says.

TO ALL REMAINING VOTERS:
You have two choices at this point. With a 48% negative rating, Hillary will NEVER be elected president in the general election. She thinks she's "vetted?" That's hilarious! Just wait til the Repubs remind everyone that she enabled her husband/president to act as a sexual preditor in the White House!

The Choices:
1. Vote for Obama and hope he can beat the Repubs in Nov.
2. Vote for Hillary and throw your vote away.

It's really that simple. A vote for Hillary Clinton right now is nothing more than a protest vote that will harm the Democrat's chances in November by keeping this joke of a campaign going.

Anyone who continues to endorse such a candidate as HRC is truly blinded as to what TRUE character of leadership involves!
The USA will be seen as divisive, lacking leadership with integrity, and sending the clear message that the Presidency can be BOUGHT
.
All of you shouting "experience" in defense of HRC......it takes much more then that to be a leader! Who is whining, demanding and expecting Bill's favor's to be called in?

I am so sick of reading the pathetic attempts to slander Obama's name, race and culture! Do you people forget where the Clinton's took us?
The Clinton's have always been about themselves, their own agenda's and having their name attached to other people's hard work!!!!!
Another Clinton in office to lead another generation into adultry, lies, deception and cover ups? I THINK NOT

Thank God most ppl in America are waking up!
People of Texas and Ohio.......Vote for integrity and the purging of Washington once and for all!
Obama represents the change that is needed in America!

John Edwards should have been the candidate to go after whatever republican that ran, but the media and pundits shoved him off of the stage from the start, after all he was a white male, and in this election that didn't mount to much, but for some reason, the media is in love with Obama, I don't know why, except it makes news, now when all is said and done and Obama can't possibly win, but the news media has put him there, the media and the CROSS over republicans, come on someone see what is going on here, anyway I digress, when this is complete and we have another 4 years of Bush policies, the media will still be there to report and slant, but I just hope we the people replace them too.

Can Obama explain, What his plans are?
I want to see his plans on the economy, foreign policies, and Irag.
In every debates. he agreed with Sen. Clinton all the issues that the nation faces.

Time to wake up!!!!! hope is not enough as somebody said

We are still optimistic that Hillary will win the nomination. I hope americans will see the difference between them. I want to see Clinton-Obama.

Some people are crying that Hillary is being "crucified" and abandoned by those who were behind her at the beginning. One must be so ignorant to suggest this but not wonder why? A followup question for this should be why its happening, that such a large number of influential and afluent Americans found her favorable then but not now. Do the math and you will stop whinning!

The point isn't who could do the job. The point is who can GET the job.

Both candidates are intelligent people with honorable public service experience (and don't let the 35 years fool you, it's a smokescreen). Either would be as ready as the other "on Day 1" – which is to say, there's a lot to learn when you become President.

But EVERY single matchup I've ever read says that Obama would do better than Clinton against McCain. Clinton's disapproval rating (percentage of people who are averse to her) would hurt her. That might not be fair, but it's fact. Do any of you have figures or sources that disagree?

Do we want a Democrat in the White House? I think it's crucial.

Obama '08

No telling how the vote will go, but Clinton was betrayed by John Lewis. Jesus was also betrayed, but he was the winner. John Lewis is just another Judus. Never acted like a Christian anyway.

Considering she needs to win BOTH TX and Ohio and considering these are similar numbers to polls taken in Wisconsin before that primary (that Obama won by a wide margin), this is the best news of the week.

Look for Obama to win both states TX will be 53/46 and Ohio will be 51/48.

Buh Bye Hillary!!!

Clintonin08 ....Did they tell OBama not to count his chickens before they hatch?? Its never over even if stupid pundits are ready to write their stuipd little comments..

go hillary .
we support you

YAY! Considering these were similar numbers to Wisc (which Obama won by a WIDE margin) and considering even a narrow loss in TX would knock ole Billary out of the race, this is the best news of the week!

Look for Obama to beat Clinton 53% to 46% in TX and 50% to 49% in Ohio.

Buh Bye Hillary!!!

HIllary...We love you baby! We are behind you. We have more registered voters than African Americans..We can win Texas for you. Ohio loves you..The rest will follow.

Go Hillary!
We are counting on you. Arizona is sticking with you.

Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for President. She is the most knowledgeable and is ready to take office on day 1. Obama would be going through a learning process like so many presidents before him and the results often have been disaster, like the present administration.

Hillary has been so unfairly treated by the media. I am a daily listener and viewer of CNN and since the South Carolina primary, almost everything said about her has been negative and everything about Obama has been positive. In addition, Obama's name has been mentioned al least 10 times more than hers. (The same could be said for John Edwards. He was mentioned even fewer times than Hilary Clinton. No wonder his campaign failed.} If the media repeats Obama's name so often in a positive light and Hillary's very few times in a negative tone, no wonder he has been soaring in the polls. If he wins the nomination, he can send a big thank you to CNN with a special thanks to Wolf Blitzer, Jack Cafferty and Gloria Borger.

Senator Clinton can't get the job done. She is too unstable as her actions the past week have shown. Perhaps her husband can.....the guy controls her and anyone that thinks differently better try to think again. He went out on her numerous times and had 2 affairs that lasted over 12 years each and he talked her into staying with him...that tell you how much influence he has over her? So for those who want BOTH Clintons back in the White House, go ahead and vote for her and perhaps when she cries over the economy, it will make a difference but I doubt it. Perhaps her getting angry about it will help? Lying? Ranting? or shall we try being mocking? Those are the tactics she has used this past week so we now know what lengths she will go to in order to get her way.

Like I said ,its a bias race.They knock the only one that can really bring change of better for our country.If they slammed Obama as much as her and Bill,he would yell race.That shows how strong of a leader Hillary would be for our country. America will wake up someday.I just hope it isnt to late. Go Hillary

Do You Want To Know Why ?

America Is Ready
Obama 08

HRC SHOULD BASH HIM ON THIS ONE. Obama is talking from both sides of his mouth

Barack Obama has ratcheted up his attacks on NAFTA, but a senior member of his campaign team told a Canadian official not to take his criticisms seriously, CTV News has learned.

I'm so proud that Sen. Clinton continues to be, as someone mentioned above, "a fighter."

I'd like to paraphrase a sentiment I read on another blog: "Let them take it to the convention...this is democracy in action."

I believe in Hillary's abilities and believe in her campaign and will continue to contribute what I can afford to her campaign.

Clinton '08

it appears that the democrats are being fooled by the republicans and the media. From day 1 they have been gunning for hilary because she was a greater threat to their candidate. They knew that obama was easy meat. The signs are already there to see. You can see how they are "toying" with this inexperienced man of verbosity. God help the Americans and the democrats – another sojourn in the desert.

Hillary Clinton has the potential of being the best Commander in Chief we ever had. I was sympathizing with Obama before, but unfortunately, once he got my attention, he lost me with his inspirational speeches. What I want is the candidate to show me his skills. Not to point out my skills, and what I can do, but what he can do for this country. Hillary Clinton KNOWS what the issues are, what to do about them, what needs to be done, and how to get it done. Choose your topic, she knows about it, and HAS A PLAN to deal with it.

Hillary, give it up. You're toast in Texas!

Texas and OHIO ..

I'm from beautiful NEW YORK! but there are NO JOBS THERE

(so I had to leave)

Senator Clinton broke her promise AGAIN

She promised JOBS to NEW YORK..
but there aren't any..

You have to go to Georgia and Texas for JOBS!

New York is welfare capitol of the nation.

Clinton has the MOST experience in making NOTHING HAPPEN!

You can't go by the polls.

Sen. Clinton is a very intelligent and experienced person and has a lot to offer. I initaially considered strongly to vote for her but America does need change and we do, as a people in America, need to come together. We are so divided by politics, race, gender, economic status........and so and so forth. That's what Obama is trying to do-get the people of America together! It would be great if Senator Clinton and Senator Obama could team up and win the White House.

Is is silly to think that the both of them can work together to make our country better and offer what the country needs?

I wonder if some Republicans in states with open primaries may be voting Democratic. It would seem at this point McCain may have a better chance of beating Hillary. Therefore, if Republican voters cross over and vote for Hillary, it could help McCain.

Hillary is gonna clean house, and boot Obmama Out of the race!

I got an idea…

Let's elect Hillary and then she can hang the entire Bush/Cheney/Rove administration from the nearest rotten apple tree.

Payback is a Hillary! You Get'em Girl!

Hillary is getting a free ride from the media. She lied about Hugo Chavez being a dictator (he has been elected multiple times in elections which international observers considered fair whether American politicians and corporations like it or not), She lied at the end of the Ohio debate about the "retreat from democracy" in Latin America. Since the U.S. has been bogged down in Afghanistan and Iraq, Democracy has blossomed in Central and South America. She and anyone who votes for her in the primary are dreaming if they think she can win a national election. She may be a fighter, but the last thing this country needs is another idiot who starts a fight just for the sake of picking a fight.

|Viva Obama!

Evidently it seems that Clinton supporters don't seem to get the logic of Obama. Everyone has their policies and agenda's to address all the important issues in this country. They are all good in their ways and some may seem more detailed than the other.

But the real question is this? How can we get it done? Hillary does not know how to unite people and even if she has good policies, she has far too many negatives to achieve much. If she happens to have a republican congress in the next 2 years, she will be able to do nothing.

Lets gather around the obvious choice of nominee for the democratic party and push him through to the election in November to the white House. Stop the petty bickering already.

Obama '08

There's nothing wrong with polls–the fault is with their interpreters. The Texas data is fairly consistent, showing Obama inching ahead of Clinton. Typically, however, the polls undercount both Hispanic and black voters, so it is still anybody's guess as to what will happen on Tuesday. My own guess is that he will carry Texas, she will carry Ohio and Rhode Island, followed by another victory in Pennsylvania, leaving no clear winner among elected delegates by the time the Democratic National Convention begins.

I think that the polls most damaging to Clinton are those that show her with consistently high "negatives," a disavantage that might diminish as voters learn more about McCain.

One has only to look at how Hillary Clinton has run her campaign for insight into how she will run the presidency. Senator Obama has stayed on message throughout his campaign while Hillary Clinton has flailed about. Senator Obama has been cool-headed while Hillary Clinton appears to ride an emotional roller-coaster. At every turn Hillary pulls out all manner of negative campaign tactics while Senator Obama sticks to the issues. Who will be ready on day one? Senator Obama is ready NOW.

Trust is far more important than experience–Look at G.W Bush with his vast experience. Because of Bush our economy and dollar is sinking, 4k dead americans in Iraq, 100k dead Iraqis, failure with hurrican Katrina, walter reed, poorly equipped Army, loss of liberties from the constitution, no respect from the world, bin laden and the taliban are stronger than ever, war costing us trillion that could of been used for our country. So experience is not the problem. The problem is having the same goons in office for the last 25 years. Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush... and you want Clinton again? That's not change.
We need someone who will fight for the people and restore our constitution. Who cares if Obama has a funny name? Would you rather have Obama in office or the evil one?(Hillary)
She is not trustworthy. She can't run a campaign, flip flops on issues, is a liar, backstabber, actor, deceiver, power monger, arrogant, egocentric. She can't be trusted and trust is more important than experience.

The lofty dreamer dreams (JFK & M.L. King Jr.) and the dreams became real fruits by a doer (Johnson) who new how to navigate and rope the Congress around into compliance. So too the current dreamer's
(Obama's) dreams need a doer with experience & skills- That seems to be Hillary.

These 2 candidates are doing us (democrats) a dis-service. We need to have a clear front runner to start counter attacking the republicans.
We have McCain, Huckabee, and Hillary attacking our nominee.
pls hillary has some self respect and dignity and drop out of the race.
its the democratic thing to do.

To supporters of Obama,

Never take anything for granted. We need to keep working for every vote. NEVER COUNT A CLINTON OUT!!!

Obama '08

Obama is a charismatic salesman who is selling us "hope and unity". Let's not forget that Bush was also a "uniter". None of these lofty words will fix the economy or fix Iraq. Only hard work will.

Crucified? Spare me . . .
Hillary has brought this one herself.
Her supporters are as whiney as she is.
Also delusional.

iowa

if obama loses i'm either voting mccain or i'm not voting, i will be completely turned off from the political process, here's what seems like a God send, almost too good to be true, when in actuality his idea's are simple and they are not outside the box, he's just so normal that washington dispises him because he's hasn't been strickin to the cancer that is washington politics, he's going to make mistakes like all of us but there has never been a guy like him, just a normal american who's idea's are considered farfethed because they are basic and outside the norm of washington. he's new, fresh, and he's not stupid, i mean obviously they talk about experience a lot, like he's not going to have advisors?? i wouldn't be suprised if barack being the man he is offered hillary the oppurtinity to join the staff,

VOTE HILLARY '08!! We need someone who has substance, not someone who is all talk and no experience. C'MON AMERICA WAKE UP?? WHATS GOING ON WITH OUR COUNTRY???

If the media does its homework and investigate Senator Obama's achievements versus rhetoric to the same extent they have investigated Hillary, then present the unbiased results to the American people, what you'll see is a big shift towards Hillary. I am trying to believe in Obama, but, I ONLY SEE TALK WITHOUT RESULTS. If America wants do nothing President that delivers numming speeches, then Obama is your man. If you want to move the goalpost, then Hillary is your choice. CAN WE STOP SUCCING TO SLICK OBAMA? Let America choose wisely.

GOOOO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY IS SUPERWOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMART!!!!!!!!! HAS GRIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAS PLANS!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFFORDABLE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE SMART.......VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

Hillary all the way !!!!!!

Cali guy

We always knew his name. This is not news! He has been a US senator for years. It's not our fault that America is just hearing it. Why does it matter now when it didn't matter when he was voting in our senate? Hypocrites! Good enough to vote in the senate but not good enough to proove his worth as president. God you have to the the culture and minds of this country!

Experience does matter – so does judgement. Look at the spending of the Clinton campaign and you will see how much judgement and experience has helped. Oh wait... pizza, donuts, almost $100K at a grocery store, rooms at the Bellagio.... nevermind. Vote Obama.

Am I the only person getting tired of this primary season???

on February 12,2008 Tuesday Clinton was no where near Washington D.C. where senator Obama and Senator Mc Clain
whent to work, a senate vote. miss I will work so hard for you
was begging for votes. you vote your heart because the wrong
vote destroy this whole world . she did not want to go to a
commercial break during the debate, this was on televison
she showed her self ugly once again, honestly she is just
ignorrant

I cant believe that people keep saying that Hillary has more experience than Obama...hello!!!! They have been Senators for the same time and Obama served in the Illinois Senatae before that. Obama has more experience in office than Hillary does. Just because you are a first lady does not mean that you can be President. Heck, my brother is a pilot, but that does not meant that I will jump in the cockpit with his wife...Clinton should stay home and keep an eye on her cheating husband. She can't even controll her campaing, what do you think she'll do if she was to get elected...

I love CNN. One moment they are in a tight race and another headline Obama is in the lead. Why are they sending misleading headlines? Plus those polls suck. Half the time they are wrong. They change more than we change our underwear. It will never be 100% until voting day and the votes are counted. It is just a way to have a story wo there being news.

Diplomacy! What a great new idea! "Never negotiate in fear, and never fear to negotiate." The arrogant stand Bush has taken with world leaders has left the US disliked and disrespected around the world. Meeting with other world leaders is a great step toward better understanding among nations and a good first step to better foreign relations. Just because Bush, Clinton, and McCain disagree with Obama, doesn't make him wrong. They appear to be wrong on most issues according to polls and public opinion. Barack Obama is filled with brave, intelligent, hopeful new ideas and strategies. Refreshing!

Although some might like Hillary....consider her track record...oh, that's right she hasn't released those documents yet...not until after TX and OH.
USA: Turn out in droves to vote. Cast your vote for Obama. He's the one that can turn this train wreck of a country around. America, listen! Take it to the streets! This is your campain...VOTE! Let's have a nominee and focus on making sure a democrat is in office next year! Have hope! This will happen and Barack Obama is the man to lead us there! He doesn't do dirty red tape politics...Hillary does. Vote OBAMA!
Obama 08!

Clinton is very bad news!
the Democrates are bad news!

if you want more government, and less personal choice then vote democratic....Otherwise you MUST vote the GOP....

it's your life, your choice!!!!

Enough of rhetorics and more of solutions! Sen. Clinton has the knowledge, determination and experience to tackle the numerous problems facing our country. Sen. Obama started planning his run for the Presidency on the first day he was elected in the Senate – no wonder he is not able to convene his Foreign Relations sub-committee – too busy laying out the ground for the highest position in the country. He should have relinquished that position to someone capable of doing it – but then, it looks good in his resume. All fluff!

they are not even in texas hillary is in from this is the media , the love for obama.....

Obama is winning the popular vote...even if you include Michigan and Florida.

And Obama's numbers continue to rise..they are not dropping in the least.

Did Obama take the lead in the last hour? Wasn't cnn's headline something along the lines of "Race tight in Texas" about an hour ago. Any reason for the change, other than to make Obama look good. I am a lifelong Democrat, but cnn is way over the top with this guy.

I just broke up with my girlfriend because she supports Obama. She kept talking about HOPE and CHANGE. She sounded like a zombie.

Where's the story of a poll showing Hillary up by 4 in Texas and another shows her up by 3. Oh that's right this a CNN our boy Obama headline. Sorry I forgot. Have to go elsewhere to find a positive Hillary story.

Don't let the media elect our next president!

Why isn't the margin of error included? Would that characterize this as a statistical dead heat?

Its easier to pick on Hillary past , her voting , what she has done or not done simply because she has been around . Its her experience that makes an easy target . Obama does not really have a past so what could you point to. What could you pick on .?

She needs to win Texas and Ohio by 65% to stay in the race...not just "win" them.

Math doesn't support her campaign. Unless she trounces him, she isn't going to make up the huge number of pledged delegates that he has. If they split the state, he is still the winner because he still has 150 more delegates.

OBAMA 08!

this is the kind of headlines gets the brainless people to go behind the herds !

I love how many are posting about voting for Clinton out of fear. If you are afraid why get out of bed in the morning? If you are afraid why go to sleep at night? If you are afraid why even step one foot out of the door? Welcome to the rest of your life, being afraid and unable to move.

1) Hillary will NOT disclose her tax returns, Why Not? What financial sources are behind the $5M that was loaned to her campaign?
2) What is Bill going to do in the White House?
3) Don't forget White Water and the other past issues that Republicans will raise.

These unanswerd questions and issues are a large cloud over Hillary's quest for the presidency.

Obama in '08

It will be double digits in all the States. Lets' not kid ourselves anymore, Hillary has set the woman for President thing back at least 20 years. A sniper, whiner, decietful, poor loser. Thats it.

If Obama narrowly wins in TX, and keeps it competitive in OH, Hillary is done. It's just math, folks. The supers will back the winner, they don't want the heat of all of Obama's supporters crying foul and taking to the streets. It will cost them their jobs, trust this. After Tues. the writing will be on the wall, and Hillary can go back to her job in the Senate and actually attempt to work for her paycheck, like the rest of us do!

I'm so sick of hearing that Hillary thinks she is the one who can solve problems. If people wanted to vote based on experience in 1992, shouldn't they have chosen an incumbent president, two-term vice-president, former director of CIA and winner of first Persian Gulf war over a young governor of a (no offense) unimportant state?
Vision, discernment, inspiration and learning are much important features of a leader than experience. George W Bush is not poor leader because he was inexperienced. He is now been president for 7 year and he is still no better. He was and is a poor leader because he doesn't learn from mistakes, is strong headed and thinks that he is on a celestial mission to be president. This remind of somebody oh yes: HILLARY RODHAM...

A fighter vs A talker, who do you want to be your president? Obama as the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee didn't do what he supposed to do to protect the Americans showed that he is inexperience. With the authority given he failed to act, showed that he is a great talker but don't know how to work – This shows his weakness of lack of experience. Too risky to hand him the whole nation.

I believe it Barack Obama will be the best president of the the United State ,

There is only one candidate who has not only said how they will change america for the better, but exactly how they will do it. There is only one candidate who admits where they have made mistakes and has learned from them. There is only one candidate under constant attacks from the media and other opponents. There is only one candidate who will be the best president of the United States in 2009. That candidate is undeniably Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Go Hillary '08!!!

I am resident of the long star state as well. Dont know what CNN or polls arereporting, yet i go from Dallas to Houston three times a week with business. Unless they are polling in East Texas or the Valley, everyone, including all the major papers here are with Obama.

my granddaughter says yeaaaaaaaaa hillarey,booooooooo obama,right mamaw and i say yeaaaaaaaaaaaa ashie. we are rooting for you hillary becky and ashie

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT , OBAMA FOR VICE PRESIDENT..... PLEASE!!!!! WORK TOGETHER FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE......

Recession is coming ito the whole world and the American people should not be fooled by Clinton who says she will fix the economy and give people health care and homes.There is no such things.She maygetupat 3 am to answer phone calls ( I found it unnecessary ) but she will be utterly helpless.The hard times that will soon fall on America require hope.It is hope that willsustain the American people and not Clinton ' s empty promises.

Obama 08

I agree with SH. This election is going to be fought over the economy and national security. Obama is inspirational when he talks about hope and change. But he sounds like GW Bush when he talks economy.

Clinton is a hot headed and emotional. Tears up at her own rally because people are saying nice things about her? Sigh...we need an adult in the white house who has control over his/her emotions. I would take McCain in this day and age of terrorism but Obama will do since he seems honest and in control.

Does it really matter; I guess I just have to keep posting these factual info to piss off the Hillary bloggers who are censuring such a free speech

Now, it really does not matter; Hillary can win ALL the next races and will not get the nomination!!! Recall that the Dems ALWAYS SPLIT the votes. So, one would need to win (a) with large numbers, not just win or (b) win many states, as Obama has done to stay ahead.

So, this process is only creating a mess for the Dems as the Republicans UNITE and find their footings. So, go ahead and give your votes to Hillary, drag this on, and let us wait for the outcome– a total mess.

Hillary has NO chance whatsoever of overcoming the odds against her. She started as the frontrunner with all superdelegates, and all the Dems can say is "firewall" states for Hillary to stay in the race– for what? I guess bigger states like CA and NY did not help all that much either!!!er, this late in the game?

I wish people would research both candidates and they will find that Obama plan is more detailed and will provide solutions to our healthcare and economic plans. He has a more realistic plan and will be able to implement them, not back down as Hillary has done in the past.

Texas, Ohio research and know the truth!!!!! Obama will not back down and make changes for the betterment of our country!!!

Obama will win Texas. I live here. I dont know what the polls are saying but everyone I know is saying they are voting for Obama. Although I they say he is leading by 3 points, i wouldnt be surprised in he won by 5 to 7 points.

It is no longer about Clinton or Obama anymore. It is about D vs R. In my opinion if Hillary win than whitehouse will be for Republican. Comparing larger state with number of state. Hillary won larger state and Obama won more state. If Hillary compete McCain at November, there is a chance that she might lose. From headcount, more people want Obama. Nad definitely he can cut McCain out at November.

vote the liberals in, watch the money dissapear

The headline of the ticker reads, "Obama has edge in Texas". Meanwhile, his three point lead in the poll of polls is well within the margin of error, which very well can mean Clinton actually has the edge. Just another example of the media's bias against Clinton.

Let the voters decide. This isn't the media's decision.

2/28/08

Hillary needs to THROW one more thing.
Her support to Barack Obama.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
We both have always declared ourselves to be independent voters (not party affiliated) and independent thinkers. We never try to influence each other's candidate of choice; this, being our Constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. This is a history-making Presidential election year. We both have watched all debates intently, not allowing the polls or any other news media to influence our opinions on these debates. We are proud to say we both, at the conclusion of all the debates thus far, we both agree on the same candidate. We feel that each and every registered voter in this country should be paying close attention to what the current candidates stand for, what they have been saying in the debates and more especially what is not being said in addition to what is being said. Tuesday, March 4th in the proud Lone Star State of Texas, we will cast our ballots for Senator Obama. We do not trust the "Clinton Machine". Today, we challenge each registered voter to also cast their ballot based on who they feel will turn this country around for the better and not based on gender, ethnic origin or age. "Go Vote" Reguardless who your choice is

Obama-'08

Do these polls include independants or just registered Democrats ?

Polls just reflect the media wishful thinking. I am over 65 and have never been polled, either before or after voting. Who pays for these anyway.

How does all these Clinton supporters find their way to CNN, but she still looses? If there were as many Hillary fans in the polls and voting booths as reflected in these comment sections, she would be winning.........unless CNN posts very few non-Hillary letters. Interesting. Will THIS one be posted?

Clinton will come out on top. She will win!

I have something interesting for Americans to ponder........ Could it be possible that the media has taken Obama's chant of "change" as a serious idea rather than a shallow campaign slogan. Which brings me to the conclusion that we have been had by eloquence and forceful rhetoric. His economic plan is similar to Clinton's but she's the one that can actually execute them. Its no wonder he was accused of plagiraism and his other ideas are unoriginal and highly partisan. So where is this change coming from again............

Cali guy February 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Well at least the people of Texas and Ohio will know Obummers full name before they do or don't vote for him. They have that knowledge going into the election. I can't vote for a man that allows his campaign to hide ihs full name becasue of fear that people might take it the wrong way. How are they supposed to take it after the fact should have been one of the question Obummer asked himself before he condoned the tactic,

CALI YOU ARE AN IDIOT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAS NEVER DENIED OR TRY TO HIDE HIS MIDDLE NAME. WHAT'S THE POINT? THEY TAKE OFFENSE WHEN IT IS MENTIONED (WITH EMPHASIS, MIND YOU) IN AN ATTEMPT TO FEAR MONGER.

Funny how all the Clinton supporters want everyone to ignore the polls now. When they favored her, she was all for them. Her supporters use of Rovian tactics "Obummer's full name" is deplorable, and should never be a part of our party's campaigns.

Desperation is showing not only in her campaign, but in her supporters.

Experience matters ONLY if the individual has a history of making the right choices, asking the right questions. Sadly, Sen Clinton has again and again taken the Bush administration's line when it comes to the war. She enabled him, and showed she didn't learn from her mistake when she voted to allow similar action in Iran. That type of experience we don't need. We've had it for 7+ years already.

Those Hillary supporters claiming polls don't matter were singing quite a different tune a few weeks back when they showed her 20 points up in both Texas and Ohio..You guys/gals are all still at the denial stage in the grieving process..Time to work toward the acceptance stage.

Sorry, but a poorly run campaign (i.e shooting your stash before the finish line) does not beget a nomination. Nor does it demonstrate competence to run the country.

And please spare us all that the super delegates owe you something, they owe their constituents. Constituents who voted for Obama..Welcome to the concept of democracy!!!!

Dear Americans. I wish you saw what we saw on TV. The majority of the American people doesn't even know what going on in their own country, let's even not start to talk about foreign politics. One thing I can tell you: the only person who was consistent from the beginning, and can unit AMERICA WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD,
and is the only person who walks the talk- His name is OBAMA.

How about the poll at Real Clear Politics that shows Hillary ahead by 4 points? Can CNN report any positive news or stories about Senator Clinton!
I never heard one word on CNN about the two dozen retired military leaders who endorsed Hillary on Tuesday – why would that happen?

Look at what happened in New Hampshire. The media harped on the most qualified person running for president in god knows how long, and she WON!!! Lets repeat history Hillary, you are our favorite ROCKSTAR!!

James Smith February 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Sen. Clinton is holding her own in Texas, despite the perceived momentum of Sen. Obama. I think she'll win, and wins in Texas and Ohio will keep her in the race. And for those supporters of Sen. Obama who say Sen. Clinton should drop out, I say that you shouldn't be afraid of a little competition. We're not.

UMMMM...YES YOU ARE! HENCE THE MISLEADING AND OFTEN JUST FALSE STATEMENTS BEING HURLED AT OBAMA FROM HRC'S CAMPAIGN!

SH,

The value of the dollar is not such a bad thing, and could acutally provide an incentive for foreign investment to create jobs here in America instead of other places.

When we are four trillion dollars in debt due to a useless that can be the explaination for the expenses we are currently facing. Instead of providing subsidies for American citizens we are wasting it on a war that we cannot win.

And on a last note... none of the candidates have executive level experience. None of them have run business, or held a post of executive authority... so this mysterious experience factor everyone talks about with Senator Clinton is not real; it is just some more of the the smoke and mirrors we can expect from traditional politicians.

Obama is the greatest ever, love him or hate him is smart. He makes his rival look like she is interlectually challenged!!!!!!

I hope Sen. Clinton wins both Ohio and Texas. Although Obama is a strong candidate, he has no substance. Hillary is more experienced and will be more serious than Obama.

Change does not happen overnight, and a good judgement is required to see what needs to be changed. Hillary Clinton has that judgement and she has proven it. Can't say the same thing for Obama and his empty call for change.

So what? Clinton has a plan, did she precisely outline how the "plan" will help our tommorrow in such economy as this current one. People, please don't be fooled by someone who promises that they have the perfect plan to help your tommorrow because guess what? they will fail you and even if they don't mean to fail you, circumstances around them will pressure them to go in the opposite direction. a perfect example: She rants and boasts and I am wil paraphrase "Obama, meet me at the Ohio debate" "Obama shame on you" and when she gets sitted next to Obama, she went soft like fresh spinach bathed in hot water!!!

Clinton's attitude(whinning about gettting the first question all the time) should be an example of how she will change her course of action if she's allowed to reach the oval office.

Obama gives us the opportunity as Americans to be involved in what happens to us as individuals. He even stated that we ought to know what the government is doing on our behalf (again i am paraphrasing here). Which I, as an educated individual, I totally believe that's the only way we can all work together and make this country the greatest place on earth.

So to sum up my point:

GO OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL THE WAY 08 AND 2012

I'm sick of the polls and the primaries, I hope March 4th will come soon and rule out everything already. Hopefully Hillary will drop out if she doesn't win BOTH Texas and Ohio. I'd be surprised at her motive if she chooses to stick around even so.

For those of you who are undecided, vote for Obama at least by looking at the fact that the White House was occupied by Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush for the last 20 years. Do you want to add another Clinton in the row? Gimme a break. I'm afraid Jeb Bush will run for president in 2012 then. Sheesh.

GO HILLARY!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT IM 100% FOR YOU!!

Of course that's what the poll CNN conducts would say.
The papers in Texas say it's close, but are not saying any one is
ahead.

MY TWO FAVORITE CANDIDATES….. HILLARY , OR WHOEVER IS RUNNING AGAINST ….OBAMA

DEMOCRAT FOR HILLARY OR McCAIN 08

After reading all comments and blogs i believe more ppl support Clinton than Obama, but somehow CNN and other media just doesnt get it..

the think about poles they are just that up and down up and down
America listen and chose open your heart and your MIND
then make your chose

5 point win or loss in Texas primary coupled with a marginal win for Obama in caucas menas he nets more delegets..... the party is over for Hillary.

I was leaning toward voting for hilary till she fired one of our own Patti Solis Doyle. Remember our fellow latino Patti Solis Doyle?? Hillary made her step aside (Fired for all purposes). Is this what we can expect from Hillary? Once she gets what she wants(our vote) then throw us to the side like that. We latinos need to stick together and vote Obama.

There is a new poll out today on real clear politics showing Hillary is up 4% in Texas!

Hillary raises $35 Million Dollars in February!

To Call Guy: Barack Obama is not hiding his middle name. He has written two books and stated his full name in them. He was asked why he didn't change his name when running for office and he said he had no intention of changing his name just so it "sounded" more American and less "ethnic." And when asked if he thought he was the underdog, he mentioned that with a name like his, he would of course be the underdog. He has never hidden his middle name, which is not any different sounding than the rest of his name..I don't get your point. If his name was John Hussein Smith then perhaps what you said would make sense.

It's over Hillary. Nice try – now stop killing the party

Hmmmm... If this were reality then I would say it was in the bag... but we all know how polls go. There are many out there that will say on thing and do something else... its called disinformation and they enjoy doing it. Who trust those numbers, not me. I would rather they not be mentioned again until the actual voting takes place then maybe compare the fiction to reality so to speak.

Thank god Obama's was raised by whites. If he was raised by blacks we would see the debate live from Attica state prison.

I see all the Obama haters have blogged. Polls have been wrong, but they also have been right. GO OBAMA. Change is what is needed. Remember people, Hilary had double digit lead a few weeks ago so to have the % so close really say something.... People want change and not just someone who has been in Washington 35 years!

Hope & inspiration dont solve problems ?.....oh ok i guess being bummed out and depressed about the sad state of affairs in this country will inspire. HOPE IS A GOOD THING.

Hillary doesnt know what the truth is.

The White House came out and said they are not holding up releasing her records BUT that its the Clintons....

Now just think about it. The White House (aka the Republicans) dream of Hillary winning since they know she will galvanize their base and she has such strong negatives .. yet they come out with the statement they did.

She cant be trusted.

She didnt even know Medvedev name – never mind how to pronouce it.
You call that expereince?
You call that ready on day one?

Sounds on Day One she needs a voice coach to teach her how to say the new President's name.

Looks like the empress has no clothes!

thank you LatinoNation for Clinton.

V in Ca is in lala land. Obama's numbers have done nothing but go up lately. Hillary supporters are much like the candidate herself...always in a state of denial and always ready to blame someone else other than herself, be it the media, the unimportant red state vote, caucuses, youth vote, etc. etc...

I remember her and her campaign still saying the youth won't show up to vote (this even after the early states!)

To all my latino friends, let's deliver the State of Ohio, Texas to the best candidate running for president and that is Hillary Clinton, the first female president.

By the way, does anyone find it a bit odd that Mark Penn is working with John McCain's top advisor?

SHE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT.

we are not as divided,
as our politics suggests;
we are one people; we are one nation,
here and together, we will begin the next chapter in America,
the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast;
from sea to shining sea –
Yes. We. Can.

-Obama 08!!

We Want Change!

To: Carla Mollica
MSNBC just announced today that Obama is leading by about 1 million in the popular votes.

Barack Obama will be the nominee.

Hillary needs to stop hurting the Democratic Party and just leave.

McCain is starting to lead in the national polls because we HAVEN'T chosen a nominee.

The PEOPLE already have, in delegates, popular vote, etc.

It's Obama.

She needs to GO AWAY so we can have a chance to actually win.

IF HILLARY BECOMES A RAPPER SHE COULD CHANGE HER NAME TOO O.D.P= OLD, DIRYT, POLITICS!!!!!!!!! BWAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!!

James – Clinton is going to have to win TX, OH and PA by 65% to stay in the race. Mathematically speaking, if she did that, she'd still be behind in pledged delegates. It's a tie in TX and she's only up by 4 points in OH. And don't count on super delegates. Five have left her train wreck in just the last week and Obama has picked up 30 in the last 2 weeks. I'm still for Fred Thompson, but the math speaks for itself.

PSST Obama, Al Qaed is currently in Iraq. Come on Hillary we need you.

So what!!!! Obama is our guy.

He is good guy and we like him. If God is with him, no matter what Bush-McCain-Hillary are seing, he will be our president.

Yes, most people don't believe in polls, however you can believe that Obama has won 11th contests in a row!! And I believe he will make it 15 in a row!! We can all clearly see that Hillary cannot unite the Democratic Party or the American people. Unless we are united, we will not defeat the Republican party.

You will all be surprise how he improve in the Latino community and older women. He reaches out and touch all groups of people....young, old, black, white, brown etc. Are we not living in a diverse society??

Obama 08' !!

Polls usually undercut Obama's numbers by 5 or 6% because they usually don't usually survey people with cell phones only. Those people are a large part of his core group of supporters, namely the youth vote and Yuppies.

Barak Obama, YES WE CAN!!!

Oh, I forgot.... guess who won yet another focus group? Hint: they considered her smarter, better on the economy and better on foreign policy. Who would'a thunk it.

OBAMA 08....

MRS CLINTON IS NOT THE BEST PERSON TO FIX OUR ECONOMY, AFTERALL SHE IS FOR BIG BUSINESS, SHE CANNOT DO WHAT SHE SAYS SHE WILL, IN THE DEBATE SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT HER PROMISE TO CREATE MORE JOBS IN NY, WHICH SHE FAILED TO DO, HER ANSWER WAS SHE WAS NOT ABLE, BECAUSE HER HANDS WERE TIED. FINE, BUT A FIGHTER FIGHTS FOR THEIR BELIEFS AND KEEPS THEIR WORD. AND THERE LIES THE PROBLEM, CLINTON IS NOT BELIEVABLE. SORRY BUT FOR OUR ECONOMY TO BE FIXED, OUR GOVERMENT HAS TO GET FIXED AND CLINTON IS NOT THE MECHANIC.

Recommend that American voters in Texas and Ohio listen to Fox News a little more. They are bringing out his connection to the Trinity United Church of Christ - a separatist church.

Hillary needs to concede before she does more damage to the Democratic party. After she's conceded, she needs to divorce Bill and start a donut franchise. Then they both need to get out of politics because it's not their gig.

One has Obama up. One has Clinton up. Both have me bored.

What really bothers me is that Hiliary keeps saying she will fight – that she is a fighter- well, we had a fighter – Bush! We do not need that ! I think that people are not thinking clearly about Hiliary – women want "woman power" and that is the only reason they are voting for her. If they would just think about how women are thought of by foreign dictators – she will have no respect from them and it is imperative that we have someone who will stand up to them diplomatically!! Obama can negotiate better with them as he has what it takes to do so and that is what this country needs!!! OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!

Polls are many and varied. CNN is just one of MANY. The OTHER Polls being announced on Local T.V. in Texas indicate that Clinton is ahead in the Polls. CNN Polls never match the others.

Correst me if I am wrong, but didn't the Clinton camp say that they would have to win Texas AND Ohio big in order to have a chance? Even if she ends up winning by a few points, It should still be over.

My guess, she will make an excuse to stay in regardless of losing Texas or winning by a slim margin.

To "She's a Fighter,"

Have you ever looked at whether the facts back up your and her rhetoric?

The most deliciously ironic thing about this campaign is that Senator Clinton is making the accusations about Obama supporters being in fairytale land, all the while her slogans of the day have no grounding in reality.

"She's a fighter," great and who isn't that makes it to the national stage. "She's a doer, not a talker." What big things has SHE accomplished in her 3 1/2 decades of "experience"? Not much. "She's ready on Day 1." She so poorly mismanaged the first major thing that a Presidential candidate needs to manage (their campaign) that she had to loan herself money last month.

In the words of Senator Clinton, GET REAL.

WOW!! looks like clintons supporter are alot like her...

I just read that prince Harry is in afganistan and has been there for a while fighting the taliban. My question is where are the daughters of Geropge Bush and the children of other leaders of America? There are in hiding just like George Bush was during the Vietnam war . Take a lesson from the British. American leaders are all talk. They want the ordinary children to go and die while thier children are well taken care of doing something else. SHAME ON YOU AMERICAN LEADERS! You are the pits!

Kingsley Olivelle

I'll take an experienced wonk with experience and a great plan over a cult of personality every time.

I'll be on the lookout for Republicans attending my local caucus ostensibly because they love Obama. I'll throw donuts at them.

What biased poll are we talking about? Oh yeah-CNN. LOL! You guys say it enough...it seems to come true. That is where Obama has gotten his "momentum"! You guys are a joke and the whole nation pretty much sees it now.

Something reeks of fish! Bill disappears for a day. Then the sky opens up and celestial angels throw down $35 million to Hillary. Or did Bill leave to transfer some of his Dubai funds to help her campaign? Wake up people. Where's your tax returns, Hillary?

I hate polls too. But, Obama is surging right now and Clinton should be worried. Americans are speaking and they are saying change. Let's give this guy a chance. Hillary is running on the coat tail of her husband. She needs to get it together and re stratigize.

Since when do issues not matter anymore? Obama is a great speaker but says nothing. At least we know where McCain and Clinton stand. To vote for someone simply because they are charismatic is foolish voting. The last time we voted for a "Washington outsider" we got George W.Bush. How did that work out!

Again CNN nice TRY!!! May I suggest an internal audit of your POLLS. Way to spin, you get an A+ today, give or take a margin of error +/- 10% points. Remember your audience??? They are EDUCATED and can think for themselves and they DO know enough to question what they see and read in the media. Polls, haaa, haa, haaaaaaaa.......

Barak Obama is the man with the plan! YES WE CAN!!!

Polls are like predicting the weather. Hit or miss. Having said that, I'd rather see some new blood in the White House. None of these candidates can tout "experience", since none of them have ever BEEN President. Enough with the petty antics and baloney fed to us in the news already.

Obama – Webb '08

Why does the CNN homepage call this "Obama has the edge in Texas" and then the title is something different in the ticker, showing a "tight race?" Oh yeah, I know the answer. Because CNN is biased toward Obama.

Where are the articles showing Hillary's lead in Ohio? Hmmmm?

why dont you just declare Obama winner right now. as you are always ready to show Obama's edge when he is up by 2-3 points. and if hillary is up by 2-3 points, the headline would be " Democrats tied"..........."hillary is ahead within margin of error.".. etc...
ha ha, this election has been made joke by media.

Hillary, from now until March 4th, and thereafter, please, please exude the feeling of confidence needed for one to win in Ohio and Texas ; let it show through when you are talking to the people. Remember when we were taught that "attitude" counts? "Just Do It! You not only CAN, but YOU WILL do it! I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT YOU! GOOD LUCK!

If you love this country then do what is best for her. voted for the person who is most qualified, has served for us the people for 35 years and walked the walk when she was a college student. That is a lifetime of service and what are we going to give her for a life of dedication? Our votes. Go President clinton!!!!!

All you pro-Clinton fans had better face reality. A victory for Hillary in the primaries means a huge defeat to McCain in November. The only chance is for Obama to make the run. Like it or not !!!!

Why are Hillary's supporters so sure that she can "get things done" when she can't even beat a black freshman Senator named Barack Obama for the nomination of her own party? When she couldn't get her health care program through in 1993? When she couldn't see through Bush's lies about Iraq?

Sorry if this sounds testy, but what is this "track record of success" that Clinton supporters keep talking about? Despite the advantage of being married to Bill Clinton, she has had one of the most unsuccessul careers in recent political history.

PLEASE GOING TO VOTE EARLY, AND REMEMBER COME BACK TO VOTE AGAIN IN THE CAUCUS ON TUESDAY NIGHT AT 7:00PM MARCH 4th 2008 FOR HILLARY CLINTON IF WE REALLY WANT TO FIGHT FOR HER. SHE MUST WIN IN TEXAS AND OHIO.
LET'S GO HILLARY.
WE SUPPORT YOU.

I strongly agree with the position taken by our potential President Barack Obama on this issue. We need peace in the world and it is time to erase the mind set that creates war, devastation and death. How can one justify killing innocent people (thousands) where ever they may be because a dozen of them did something wrong? Violence begets violence and the beat goes on. We need true people of God and not those who hide behind God's name and teachings while perpetuating devilish mayhem to rule us. They preach forgiveness when they erred but act with vengeance and impunity when they are offended.

I find it very interesting that those who support Clinton are so quick to talk trash on Obama. Yes, I am a huge Obama supporter, but I am more a supporter of something different, something new...a change.

Clinton supporters, oh how you forget that the struggles as a woman that Senator Clinton has had to face are the same struggles as a person of color that Obama has had to face. Why are we as Democrats allowing the media to break our party apart. Both Obama and Clinton are very credible candidates who ever wins we all should support that this party has made history...the Republican Party can only imagine being so forward as our party.

So enough with the bickering between sides. Because when it all comes down to it we should hope and pray another Republican has not taken seat in the highest office in America.

The People of America '08

No mention of the Insider Advantage Poll that has Clinton 47 Obama 43 in Texas. Maybe they should fluff some more pillows for him.

I find this Obama-mania troubling! I was very recently told by an Obama enthusiast that I was "just a racist" because I continue to be a Clinton supporter. Considering that my spouse is black, I really do not think I am a racist. I just have not been moved by Obama.

Obama is young! Clinton at least has Bill to help her. I feel Clinton with the aide of "Bill" will pull us out of this econonmic mess, Bill is very savery on how to deal with over seas affairs. in other words Hillery is two for the price of one! Lets vote Hillery anf get this natiion back on top!

wake up America ......Obama is an empty suite and filled with ideas taken straight from Clinton...I agree with Hillary .. How many times has this man said that..

wake up before its to late vote HIllary Mar 4th

Is there something to hide?? A name is a name. In my 75 years I have never seen such a flap over a middle name. Apparently he is ashamed of his name.
Also, his wife should go to a country where she CAN be proud of her citizenship.

We both have always declared ourselves to be independent voters (not party affiliated) and independent thinkers. We never try to influence each other's candidate of choice; this, being our Constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. This is a history-making Presidential election year. We both have watched all debates intently, not allowing the polls or any other news media to influence our opinions on these debates. We are proud to say we both, at the conclusion of all the debates thus far, we both agree on the same candidate. We feel that each and every registered voter in this country should be paying close attention to what the current candidates stand for, what they have been saying in the debates and more especially what is not being said in addition to what is being said. Tuesday, March 4th in the proud Lone Star State of Texas, we will cast our ballots for Senator Obama. We do not trust the "Clinton Machine". Today, we challenge each registered voter to also cast their ballot based on who they feel will turn this country around for the better and not based on gender, ethnic origin or age.

Obama-'08

Hilary represents the same old Washington "can't be doners, better noters, and leave it to youers" always with a good excuse for failure. Lets get someone new untainted enthusiastic and inspirational. Drop fear of the new – we must give Obama a chance

Was Obama born in August of 1961 or perhaps 1959?

Clinton will not win Texas or Ohio by the margin that she needs. This is a fact. Clinton supporters, don't get too full of yourselves.

OBAMA, 2008!

I have a problem with not just CNN, but with all of the television news outlets. It seems that the coverage, graphics, interviews, packages, b-roll and reporters all reflect the idea of "what can Hillary do to improve her chances,' or "where has she gone wrong." Not once, have I seen any promotion of the idea of "what can Obama do to seal the deal," or "how can Obama win." It seems that all of the coverage has been a primer for the Clinton campaign on how they can turn things around. On the question of the media being unfair to Hillary, I would have to say that if it were any other U.S. senator in here position, all of you would declare Obama's victory. The fact that you have not, says that seh is getting the benefit from all media. That sounds very biased in her favor to me.

Re: Cali guy

You sound quite lame...
You honestly believe that Obama's campaign did hid his name? You must be kidding. There are lots of people including Sen. Obama who don't normally use their middle names. Obama has no problem with his middle name else, we would have changed it a long time ago say during the 9/11 incidence..

It is the media and other writers as well as people like you who are making a big deal out of it to link him to Islam when he has clearly shown that he is Christian....

why would you be so ignorant to think that the people of Texas just learnt that Obama's middle name is Hussain? They knew this ever since and highlighting now will probably do more harm to your camp then Obama's

Why is it everywhere HRC starts out with a big lead and as the primary gets closer her lead gets smaller and smaller.

Why does her lead never get bigger? Why is it the more she and Obama actually talk to people, actually campaign somewhere, he becomes more popular and she becomes less?

Clinton is like a slow-footed runner who was spotted a big head start and is now limping toward the finish line while the fleeter, faster opponent comes up along the outside.

Good work Obama! Keep the heat on the Clintocks!! Obama 08!!

Why does CNN only show polls that are biased towards Obama? On the CNN homepage if you go the their polls they show that Clinton has a slight lead in Texas and a double digit lead in Ohio.

I do agree that the polls don't mean much since Obama was ahead by 10-13 points in California and Clinton won by double digits.

There is obvious bias for Obama. Look at the debates. Hillary answered all of the questions and Obama would many times say I agree with Hillary, but of course added a few "hopes" and "changes".

What a joke. If this messianic, wanna-be preacher is our next President, our country will be looked at as a joke. Other countries will think we use the American Idol model to pick our leaders, and they would be right. Bush has done a lot to ruin the US name, but Obama will sink it even further.

One thought, if Obama was a woman with his resume, or one that is more substantial, would anyone even consider him for President?

Why won't Hillary release her tax returns?

What is she hiding?

The president does not enact laws. Congress does. Whoever we elect must be able to work well with Congress and break down the walls of partisanship.

Hillary Clinton represents the real SEA change in this election. After all, BO is a man.

My vote was formally for Clinton but I had a change of heart. Here is why; a leader should know how to hold their own regards what anybody says about them. You should not lash out in public. It make you look bad. As far as names go to-mat-o or to-ma-to, it just a name. Lay the real issue on the table, health care, jobs, education, war in Iraq.

Obama 08!

Obama has recieved 1 million diffrent donators!!! Clinton maybe 500,000? Obama average per person is around $105 compared to Clintons i believe $2,000. Release your tax info, Curious how many Lobbyist are involved with you Clinton.

Also the rumor is Obama in Feburary has raised $50 million, and my guess is sitting on it till friday maybe even later tonight, to show how small Clintons $35 Million actually is.

Texas remeber that Clinton was for NAFTA, for the IRAQ war. I don't want a president constantly chaning plans becuase their first one was messed up!

Go Hillary!!! obviously you can't trust a black politician John Lewis is a trader.obama will do the same thing to america! especially the latinos!!! just like oprah another trader has never made a latino or asian for that matter dreams come true only black or white. he is not fit to be president not by experience nor trust for fairness!!!

well... i came in the US with dreams, actually with the certitude that everything is possible here! that you could accomplish what your dreams lead you to believe could not be true elsewhere. I am not saying HILLARY does not have an edge on many things i just say that when it comes to trust and to believe my vote will go to OBAMA , i just want to keep thinking that everything is still possible here...

Texas looks like a lost cause for the Clintons.
She can still win Ohio, though, if she cries on TV before Tuesday.
But she has to cry...otherwise it's over for her.

After all that the media has done to shove BO down our throats, it is not surprising that he has gained ground on HC.
Too bad that charisma, rhetoric and nice smiles are worth more than lifelong hard work, grit, stamina, experience and a record of accomplishments.

Still have faith that the American people come to their senses and really dig to know more of this self proclaimed "Washington outsider" ( really? hum...)

HILLARY CAME OUT WITH A CHILD POVERTY PLAN TODAY SO FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, OBAMA SHOULD BE COMING OUT WITH HIS COPY CAT PLAN NEXT

CNN IS PRO OBAMA

SENATOR CLINTON WILL WORK FOR SENATOR CLINTON. HER RECORD SHOWS THIS. JUST AS CNN'S RECORD THESE PAST FEW DAYS SHOWS HOW CLINTON HAS GOT CNN SOOOOOOOO WORRIED ABOUT BEING BIASED THAT CNN IS NOW ONLY ALLOWING PRO-CLINTON HERE AND UNDER THE OTHER ARTICLES- MOST OF WHICH ARE NEGATIVE ABOUT OBAMA.
CNN DON'T PEE YOUR NAPPIES.

I think Texas will go for Obama.
If Clinton cries on TV before Tuesday, she'll win Ohio. But she needs to cry, otherwise it's over for her.

O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!

(Obama '08)

John McCain is tooooo old to be president. Who want a 71 year old for president, he will be asleep most of the time and will certainly be out of date with issues. He will not end the war in Iraq or help with the economy.
Obama is the right person to become President, he brings new ideas and new vision for the US. He is young enough to give 110%.
Hillery is old news with Bill, her only experience is first lady, what is that? Go home with Bill and get a room.

I just wish that I had half the fight in me that Hillary has in her. Everybody begged her to get into the race because she was our best hope for a democratic winner, and she was our best hope for really fixing a lot of the problems in this country and internationally, then she has been betrayed, back stabbed, and undercut by those that promised her their support if she would run. I just wish that people could see that they are being led like sheep by a bias media. I think that Hillary has her share of gaffs as well, but who else can we truly trust to be able to handle an economic recession, a huge deficit, a trade deficit, a war and a nuclear threat. Obama claims to be able to unite politicians to get things done, but realistically all he has done is divide a party and a nation.

Clinton – Obama is becoming much more less appealing since all the Hillary basing – how about

JUST HILLARY!!!

You want to get your kindness, your super power, your prestige?
You want to keep your jobs, getting logic healthcare?
You want the equity in real social life?
You want to have the same oportunity likeanybody else?
THEN VOTE THE BEST SUCCESSOR OF JFK: SEnatir and new 2009 President: Mister OBAMA

GO GO OBAMA, The sincere politician not mixed with the lobbiest...
God bless you and Bless folks Americans.
We are feedup with lies..

Jimmy
Ph.D

I wonder what excuse Clinton will come up with, if she wins Ohio by a small margin and losses Texas, to stay in the race? The mind boggles this silly season.

IF THERE ARE 10 POLLS SHOWING HILLARY CLINTON AHEAD....

.....AND 1 POLL SHOWS HER TIED OR BEHIND TO OBAMA

THE MEDIA WILL CALL IT "Clinton loses her lead to Obama"

THIS "IN – THE – TANK" media is shameful...

Hillary Rodham Clinton is still leading in most polls and in my family – we are voting and caucusing for her in Texas....
Get on board Ohio....
Go Hillary !!!
08

Go Hillary ... Stay strong , continue to fight. We love you. America needs you!!!!!

Maybe it’s just me but I’m tired of hearing Republicans switching over to Obama. I mean, weren’t they responsible for eight years of Bush in office? So, now I’m suppose to applause them for “switching” …give me a break!

Hillary's scraping the barrel now. If her knuckles don't bleed too badly and she doesn't bankrupt her war chest-the old girl may pull it off.

Particularly now that people are looking more indepth at Barack Hussein Obama's prior service, historical accomplishments, and preparedness to receive the court of arms of President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces of the United States.

Obama will take Texas and clinch this.

I'm so tired of these "experience does matter" arguments. Let me give you jokers a history lesson. Once there was a tall, lanky 1st term senator from Illinois who became famous for his public speaking ability, and who practiced law in Illinois as well as served in the state legislature. Despite his inexperience, he won a pivotal presidential campaign after only 2 years in the senate. His name, of course, was Abraham Lincoln.

Deal with that.

Most Latinos will vote for Obama. I am so proud of him standing up for immigrants even when he was not the front-runner. Specially because the other candidates are strongly opposed to immigration.
Viva Obama.

I can't believe other people want to see more scandals like the one Mr. Clinton gave us during his administration.
Granted Hillary was not at fault, but she did cover the truth from us. Her husband was more important than America. I don't think she can be the president because she cannot make the same choice. If she divorces while in office that will distract her from her obligations.

She also needs to learn how to pronounce the names of foreign presidents specially when Televised. Other than that, she seems to lose her temper. We need someone with more guts in office if there is to be more war! She maybe just acting to get more votes.

Obama got this on lock!

What Hillary says she is going to do is one thing. But let's get REAL! Democrats have to WIN first......then INSPIRE people to WORK together...working together solves problems.

Not one person..HILLARY, coming up with ideas every day of the week, just to see if the American people are naive enough to take her bait, as she is known for BAIT N' SWITCH tactics!!!!!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

Texas, Ohio please don't let us down!!
OBAMA-08!!
We need to get this wrapped up quick fast and in a hurry and start campaigning like never before to beat McCain in November!!! If McCain becomes president you better believe we will have another draft because the military is too small to fight the 3rd war effectively! Come on Texas and Ohio! Do you want your sons and daughters drafted???
OBAMA-08!!
It's time for a change!
McCain is just 4 more years of Bush-Cheney-Rove-Libby!!!

Trend lines are stabilizing in these polls, in the direction of Clinton. It's a matter of timing. The air is slowly starting to seep out of the Obama balloon, and it's a question of whether enough will come out by the Tuesday primaries to make a difference. Obama, "The Candidate", is all whipped cream and no cake, and his support is the same. Will things turn around by Tuesday or will the Democrats be suffering buyers remorse at 9:01 on election night when McCain is projected to be the winner over Obama?

I pray that Hillary makes it all the way – I can't imagine having McCain voted in! It will be like our present leader never left and that's scarey! I'm not impressed at all with Oboma, so I don't know what I'll do! lord help us all! were gonna need it

previous post of mine (if it got posted) should have read: . When in history of the US has a candidate had to run agaisnt "her" opponent as well as the media.

Latinos are with Hillary!!

Please proceed carefully in your expectations and remember New Hampshire. I do hope your right, though.

no matter who wins, there's going to have to be a lot of fence mending or the republicans will be appointing more conservative supreme court justices. wake up and smell the coffee all of you who are threatening to vote republican if YOUR candidate doesn't win!

I'm not surprised by this at all. I knew that the California effect was going to happen. In advanced, Clinton has a wide lead and then as the primary poll numbers start showing a tie or even a win for Obama. But we all know how the California effect ends.

This is but another pro-Obama by the media. Remember when you guys reported they are essentially tied in pre-primary polls in California and New Jersey and Hillary ended up winning both by a considerable margin?

Hillary will win Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island.

I wish we could make the friggin polls go away... They mean NOTHING- as it is proved over and over again...

Why is the ad for this ticker "Obama has edge in Texas", CNN I am so disappointed with your biased reports in favor of Obama. Your reporting is disgusting, your network is far from being the best political team.

So if the polls are correct (for once) and they come out at basically a tie here in Texas AND in Ohio, what is going to happen?
Will Hillary see that as reason to go on? Bill has said that she needs to do well in both states, if she comes out with 48% in Texas and 52% in Ohio she will still be considerably behind.
Does she drop out if that happens? Or will the fighting get more intense? The accusations more ludicrous? The people more dissillusioned?

Polls are tight, polls are biased of course. Same thing happened in CA, Obama is leading before Feb. 4, but HILLARY won! I don't believe in polls anymore. Let the voters decide, let them weigh who is ready to be the President on Day One, more experienced in foreign policy. Voters are not stupid, they will not vote for an amateur who's been in the Senate for 2 yrs, most of his times, voted just "Present" on issues. I need a fighter who has stand on issues. I support HILLARY!!!

The polls are all to close. Hillary won't get enough to win.

Common TEXAS , OHIO its time to show your prowess now...Hillary needs you and you must rise to the occation.....you have the power and the wisdom to over rule ....and bring her back.
She is a go getter and has proved her self over and over again....don't be befooled by the Poet Obama ...anyway he is young he will have more opportunities....for her the last chance...so rise my brothers and sisters of America and prove to the world that you too can have a dynimic women like her as president....common even third world contries have and a women as president...its high time a superpower have one.

I can't help but wonder how the polls would reflect Obummers bid for the White House, if those in Texas and Ohio had known a month ago that the statistics clearly show that news stories on Obummer were 84% of the time favorable toward him, and at the same time more that 50% of the time unfavorable of Hillary Clinton. The bias is documented now and had folks in those states and others(since this has been going on well before December) had that info a month ago things could well be different. in the polls today. When in history of the US has a candidate had to run agaisnt his opponent as well as the media. Instead the media did the best they could to continue running negative stories and ignore that this was being said of them

HOW MANY HEADINGS DO YOU PUT ON A SUBJECT??

OBAMA HAS EDGE IN TEXAS
POLLS SHOW CLINTON & OBAMA IN TIGHT RACE IN TEXAS

PLEASE BE CONSISTENT

The last time there was such a "charismatic" person that wanted to help his people there was a world war. Obama uses his charm, his smiles, his "empty" promises and draws in people who are desperate and looking for anything; America I ask that you look very hard at Obama since Hitler made such promises also to people who were desperate for hope. Hitler used a different speech presentation but the words resonate the same.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Desperation leads to more desperation. He's the "Pied Piper" of danger.

All of you people who continue to criticize Obama based on his name are absolutely ridiculous. But then what should we expect from people who back a candidate who relies on typical slash and burn politics to fuel their ailing campaign? It's sad and quite pathetic. I can't wait for March 4th to be over so Obama can stop defending himself from useless attacks by his Democratic 'competitor' and focus on beating McCain in November.

HILLARY HILLARY

The truth has emerged. When Karl Rove suggest that Obama's middle name should not be used, we know what is really happening. The Republican Party is scared to death to run against Hillary. The talking "heads" have in every way tried to destroy her while protecting Obama in every way. Of course, when you sway the polls in Obama's favor, many people who do not have time to research the subject will just vote for the "popular" one. CNN, I am really disappointed in you. Is there no "news" media that just reports the facts, not personal opinions?

P.S. Hussein is Obama's middle name. Why should he be ashamed of it?

HILLARY 08..KEEP FIGHTING BABY...THE OBAMA HYPE IS DYING AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY MOCKING HIM

We'll find out in less than a week how correct these polls are. It has really been hit or miss with these. All I can say is that the Clinton campaign can't like the numbers they are seeing. Many of them have Obama catching up and shrinking the gap.

tired of fake clintons storys she is a bog liar bye lets see you taz pls hill you cant produce them and yet you want us to hire you to take care of are money you must be jocking show me you tax and i vote for you if not i go obama cuz atleast he is real go obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

ITS CLEAR OBAMA GAINING GROUND ON HILLARY CLIINTON, MORE AMERICAN PEOPLE GETTING TO KNOW HIM SO THEY ARE VOTING FOR SENATOR OBAMA, HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN UNITE THIS COUNTRY ,GO OBAMA 08 WHAT EVER HAPPEN ON MARCH 04 WE ARE PROUD OF YOU OBAMA SO MUCH!!!!

It would be a blessing for the Democrats if the voters of the next four primaries (Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island) could bring down the curtain on the drama queen from Arkansas. If she can't sing any tune other than 'Cry me a river', it's time for her to leave the stage.

Hopefully Hillary will win Texas and Ohio. I am a registered Democrat. If Hillary doesn't make it, I will vote Republican.

For all the talk of anti-Hillary bias, its funny that when HRC had huge leads in Tx and Oh, the talking heads all said she had to win both states big (which she does to get back in the pledged del.) race but now that the polls are close, the talk is she must win both (or even just win one.

However, the media has treated her to get to the 11 straight, they want her to stay in now bc the primaries are driving ratings. No primaries, no ratings.

No way I would trust the polls this year.

Hillary will win overall in the upcoming race. Go vote for Hillary.
If you are undecided go to HilliaryClinton.com. If you have children or one day will have children, she is the best candidate. If you have a pre-existing health condition or can not afford health insurance, she is the candidate. Obama made an absurd comment during the debate. Obama said that insurance companies would love Hillary's plan because everyone is in it. What a joke. Insurance companies exclude you if you have cancer, high blood pressure or other deseases, if you are older they discriminate against you,ect,ect----they don't want everyone, it may be you or someone you love.
Insurance companies want only the healthy, that's how they make billions. Check it out VOTERS!

First off let's try and find the last credible thing to come out of Texas, they have produced idiot presidents, oitchers that take steroids and tainted beef. So until I see the full results on tuesday I personally will not trust any poll that is coming out of Texas. Also, why are all the Latino's supporting Hillary Clinton? Did she do something for them? Please someone inform me of this, thanks.

It is not statistically valid to combine polls. Each poll has its own methodology and weighting. Combining them is an exercise in violating statistical theory.

But it's fun, I know.

Of note – this is record turnout in voting – yes. But, not only because of Barack Obama . . . because of Hillary Clinton as well. I've never been so involved with politics before. Now I find myself checking CNN all day long to get the latest updates. Go Hillary!!!!

Obama 2008!

Who's fault is it that

1 – Hillary was NOT ready on day 1 of her campaign
2 – Hillary did NOT have a plan for action after super Tuesday
3 – Hillary could NOT keep her staff in line
4 – Cold NOT keep her husband in line
5 – Could not manage her budget
6 – Did NOT campaign in smaller states.

It's not the CNN'S fault she's losing, it's not "these racist superdelegates" or the "evil Obamabot's. it's Hillary's management skills that's doing her in. READY ON DAY ONE!!!!

Three weeks ago, the polls were calling for a major Clinton win in Texas and Ohio. Now, Obama is edging Clinton in Texas, and I'm sure Ohio will be close as well. How can anyone say that Obama is losing support? Clinton lost the nomination as much as Obama won it. She made some horrible campaign choices and she suffered because of it. No one gave Obama a chance, and here he sits with a substantial lead in delegates going into the last couple of races. The people have spoken. 11 contests in a row! Superdelegates making the jump. It's clear that at least some people realize what's best. Now if the rest of the Clinton followers can just accept reality instead of blaming everyone BUT Clinton, we can move on and beat McCain!

"Senator Clinton can get the job done to help with jobs, housing, mortgages (has a plan – Senator Obama does not), overall economy, foreign affairs! Name it – she can take care of it."

Did you forsee this by looking into your crystal ball?

The math doesn't add up for a Clinton nomination. In order for Hils to get close to even with Barack [WMDs in his garage no doubt] she would have to win on March 4 60%/40% and he would STILL be ahead. And that certainly hasn't been the trend. By next Tues, Obama could potentially be ahead by 200 or more delegates, essentially doubling his current 102 point lead.

Prediction:

Obama on Mar. 4: 1649 delegates
Hils on Mar. 4: 1431 delegates

Change you can stomach.

This is sooooooooo stupid!!! When Clinton had the edge in Texas, why didn't CNN just say that "Clinton has the edge in Texas"? Now CNN is trying to push Obamas ratings up. I am getting so tired of this. I HOPE that he does not win the nomination.

I have not slept well ever since Bush (somehow) got to be Presdent and it looks like I will still not get much sleep if Obama gets in. Bush really messed things up and now Obama wants to finish the job.

Hillary would be like a breath of fresh air – GO HILLARY

Good! I look forward to having an honest person in the White House again!

Senator Clinton is a perfect example of the strength that is needed to Govern our land!!!
This woman has taken a serious beating due to the fact that the press hates her... They hate her because she is a total threat to the Republican party, she will defeat them...
Mr. Obama has never done a thing for his state, never done a thing for our country, never owned a business and has served two years in public office...
Think People!!!!

Experience and judgement matters and HRC has shown poor judgement on issues affecting the long-term growth of our country. NAFTA, IRAQ and the judgement she used to try to create a health care plan in 1992. Now, Obama has great judgement and enough experience to run the country. Look at how well he has run his campaign. Far superior to HRC. Plus, Obama will surround himself in the White House with the top democratic leaders. Dodd, Kerry, Kennedy all have much more experience than HRC and for some reason support Obama. Curious... Maybe we plain folk don't know what it is that has driven top democrats to support Obama and then maybe we do. She is divisive, arrogant, hostile at times and we need a calm, cool and collect leader. GO OBAMA!

For the past week, every other commercial has been about the elections, with Obama airing more than Hillary. Almost to the point where he is forcing for your vote. I did my research and long ago made my mind clear on my vote and no amount of publicity will change it. This is a presidential election and not American Idol. And yes, we do every thing big in Texas and we are going to vote BIG for Hillary Clinton!

and where is the line (+- percentage error) that usually shows up when Clinton is ahead in polls

it's been a great race. the press has tried to keep hillary in the race. No candidate would've stayed after 11-0. He has beating her on delegate count every night, except for NH where they took 9 delegates each. He has won 26 of 37 states. He's ahead by a million popular votes. He is outpacing her in fundraising and no turmoil in his campaign. Come on, Hillary supporters...let's be honest, Obama has done it. Time to come together as DEMS and put a winning ticket for the General election.

Since when did experience become a dirty word?

How can you effect change without experience?

I like Barack Obama a lot, but he isn't exactly describing how he will bring people together, especially bringing Republicans to the Democrats' side on *serious* issues.

Until he explains *how* he'll do it, it just seems like "all talk" to me.

I want to get the primaries over so Americans can start thinking about more important things. Like whether Brittney is drinking again and how Lindsey Lohan is doing in rehab. I hear rumors that Pam Andersen may be getting a divorce. Enough with the primaries... let's get on with the real news.

Polls had Hillary and Obama virtually tied in California, and Hillary won by over 10%. I can't believe CNN or anyone else is even talking about polls. You would think the media would learn its lesson from past blunders.

Hillary Clinton is going to win Texas and Ohio even though the media is doing Barak Obama's PR for free. We who support Hillary know well that the American people will know who is the better qualified person for the job. Who would you want to represent you to the rest of the world – one that knows what she is talking about or one who needs to use a teleprompter to deliver his message. Hillary keep on keeping on until its over. We love you.

V in CA, you are an idiot! Obama was down by 20 points in Texas and is now either tied or in the lead. That is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that he is getting stronger. It is times like this that I get sick that people like you have a vote that counts as much as mine does!

I think Obama will continue with his momemtum and I like the idea of looking at these candidates based on issues. The racist attack on his supposed faith is based on lies. Obama has chosen to be a Christian and has been with a specific Christian church for twenty years but as related by CNN, he has the most liberal voting record in the senate which is demonstrated by having denounced the Supreme Court's upholding of the partial-birth abortion ban. Doesn't anyone have a problem with that? His faith values doen't match his issue stance. To me, that is a problem. Look at the issues. Where does this man stand. I like him but he doesn't stand for what I believe in.

We will see. I think it is the press trying to add fuel to the fire. Hope you aren't disapointed next week. Don't mess with Texas!

Billary is done. They have lied from pillow to post, about everything. I really wonder about people who join billary, in saying hope doesn't matter. We have the american dream should we discard that. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, I have a dream. Should we discard that? If you support that kind of rhetoric, it seems like your hopes and dreams have been stamped out. As an Obama supporter, I am so exhausted by the billary supporters, saying that we are just fooling ourselves. You are voting for billary, that fine with us. After 11 straight victories, you must realize there are more of us.

OBAMA '08

Attention TX Repubs!! So McCain has the the nomination locked. But it's not over to let him know that many of us do NOT agree with him!! Especially in Texas!! VOTE RON PAUL. SEND A MESSAGE!!

I'm doubtful that CNN will post this...since they seem to be pro-Hillary these days (like they were for Jan 2007-February 6, 2008)!

The key words in this release is "likely Democratic voters," Obama crushes Clinton when Independants and Republicians join the mix! The trends look like Wisconsin did, Hillary up by 10 with 2 weeks to go, Hillary up by a couple with a week to go, tied in the last few days, and finally last polls had Obama up by a couple...then bam election day Obama up by 17! He obviously closes stronger! The more people get to know him (not just his funny name) they usually like him...which is why he has been winning the last minute deciders.

And sorry to break it to you but the Latino vote gap has been consistantly a 15-20 percent gap in Hillary's favor not 41...look at the poll demographic breakdowns and you'll see. Obama won't win if the gap is 41 or higher.

Predictions in Texas; Obama 55 – Clinton 44
and Ohio Obama 50 – Clinton 49

Obama will win all.

Hillary will blow them away with her comeback on March 4th. A clean sweep would be so awesome, but hey 3 out 4 isn't so bad!

Yes we Will ,Hill!!!!!

Dear CNN,

Please stop publishing the results of the "poll of polls." By averaging polls with different sampling methods, sample sizes, margin of errors and confidence intervals, you are destroying any predictive nature of the poll. They are worthless.

That's said: Go Barack!

My, My , Is this the same CNN/ONN. Wow you( Obama News Network) has actually carried positive blog on Hilary, my Did you forget that she is a WOMAN?

Go Hilary!

Sahnny

Hey Vig, that is nothing short of horrible that you compare the plight of Jesus to that of Hillary Clinton. What is up with that?!?

Hillary's leaking air in Texas faster than Rush Limbaugh after a cheese and bean burrito.

She's going down in Texas, and this race will be history next Wednesday.

I might be cynical, but I don't believe there's any way that either Clinton or Obama will have the other as their veep. If Obama wins the nomination, he won't have Hillary because of the nasty way she's conducted her campaign. If Clinton wins the nomination, she won't have Obama because he won't want to be third in line behind her and Bill, so he won't take it.

it ain't over till the fat lady sings!!

come on women YES you can stand behind hillary!! we are not so emancipated yet that we can not vote for a woman are we? Do not listen to the media and make your own decision.

she is qualified and can do the job !

Go Hillary! HILLARY!

It is looking more and more like an Obama nation.

What a joke ,false promise for CHANGE a man withiut experience ,does not even know if there is AL QAEDA in Iraq.

Did anyone asked Obama what Changes he will bring?

CNN polled in Ca that Obama is tied with Clinton,she won by 10 points.

Who does your poll cnn?

Go Hillary

Ron Paul has 9 percent.

Jus saying.

To TonyMD, There are still states that need to vote in the primary after TX, OH, VT, and RI. so this primary is not over yet....as to your remark re: anwering calls @ 3:00 a.m., I believe her point and her words were more to the effect of WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE ANSWERING THOSE CALLS...Personally, I vote for someone who will use their given name first, middle and last, and someone who can think on their feet, and not need a teleprompter or have someone else to answer a question first. Also, FYI many women and mothers are experts at handling emergencies in the middle of the night....it is in our DNA!

Go Hillary '08

we are working parents of 3 from ohio ,that hope people really do the right thing by voting for hillary. I know she is a fighter,she will fight for us Dont know about you but Im tired of working so many hours just too keep my home. Our kids need us to.OHIO ,TEXAS,RHODE ISLAND,VERMONT LETS COME TOGETHER AND PUT HILLARY IN THE WHITE HOUSE

I wonder if Clinton is A: more likely to be tested by Muslim extremists,I hear they do not respect women ?
B: if so is Clinton likely or forced to an extreme response to prove herself ?

Polls are only as good as the small minority of people they poll. They don't ask ALL of us.

Actual votes is what counts; not polls (exit included) or predictions. The last debate Obama looked unprepared the the "ultimate job".

The questions were asked to Hillary first and the open question on Russia I waited to see who would respond. Obama sat there and Hillary jumped in. Obama's answer was to say Sen. Clinton is right. I was hoping he would answer, but I guess he didn't want to come across as ignorant in foreign affairs as he is.

Then on Iraq. He would withdraw, but if necessary re-enter.

Polls are as slanted as the media.

Lights shining on TEXAS since Obama is speaking today. Hopefully he brought enough kool-aid.

Polls are only as good as the questions asked and where they are asked. South Texas is as different from North Texas as night and day. So the polls don't matter. What does matter is that the Democrats pick the best candidate to represent them. Right now it looks like a popularity contest and because Hillary is not popular she is loosing to the American Idol candidate. She is the BEST candidate,so people of Texas and Ohio, don't disappoint us. Remember Hillary is running not her Husband.

SH,

If experience mattered you'd be supporting Rove and Cheney over Hillary any day. The reason you are not is because vision and ideals trump the "I was married to the President...that kind of counts as experience....right?" card. Besides, since when was it considered a bad thing to think that this country could make something of itself? The pessimism within the Hillary and McCain campaigns is telling me that this country is willing to just roll over moan “but it’s too haaaaaard!” if either of these two get elected.

Besides, experience in starting wars, supporting the Patriot Act, and bring NAFTA into this world is not exactly the 'well thought out plans' this country needs at the moment.

What about the InsiderAdvantage poll conducted 02/27 showing Clinton in the lead 47% to 43% in TX? Oh wait, it's because Clinton's in the lead!! I think CNN will be in for a shock on March 4. Might as well start warming up to her now.

Since other Clinton supporters have had success with this:

**I bet CNN will not post this comment because it comes from a HILLARY CLINTON supporter**

HRC 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just on a different site and it stated that Hillary was ahead in Texas. What gives?

It's amazing. When the polls show Obama in the lead, all of the sudden the Clinton supporters are convinced that the polls must be wrong. Well, they may be right, Obama may have an even bigger lead than the polls indicate.

If Hillary was winning in this polls would you still be saying do not believe these polls?

When Hillary was ahead of Obama in the polls no one said "don't believe the polls." Now that has changed.

It seems to me as if the Hillary camp and supporters are scared and it is showing.

One America One People 08

TO SHE IS A FIGHTER
PEOPLE NEED TO START THINKING LIKE YOU.

COME ON TEXAS, OHIO, RI & VERMONT

YOU DECIDE, NOT HE MEDIA.
BE SMART,NOT LIKE THE REST OF THE UN-EDUCATED ONES

VOTE HILLARY AND WE MOVE ON TO PA :):)

I'm sure these polls included the thousands of mexicans with no computers that are Hillary supporters along the borders...NOT.

I'm more worried about the caucuses and how 1/3 of texas votes come from that. Hillary should win the popular vote.

HILLARY GO GO GO !!!!!!!!!!

WE'RE BEHIND YOU IN TEXAS HILLARY! EVERYONE VOTE TWICE. IN TEXAS CAN YOU DO THAT.

Clinton is finished. Except for a few diehards, America does not like her. Plain and simple. America does like Obama, much to the chagrin of clintonites and right wingers.

I believe I heard 400.000-600,000 Texans have already voted early. This bodes very well for the Senator from Illinois, Texas wants CHANGE!!

Who trusts polls or the press anymore?

Up till now, it's been a total Obama love-fest, with the press annointing him the defacto nominee and MAKING the story instead of just reporting it.

But Obama supporters may soon see, the press may turn on Obama and feed on him too, the way they've been decimating Hillary up till now. As soon as they decide they need a new, "fresh" story, the next story may be "Obama's lead slips as HIllary regains support, etc".

The point is, reporters don't even make any attempt to be objective anymore. It's disgusting. Shame on CNN, and shame on brainwashed voters for not realizing when they're being fed "info-tainment" instead of real issues.

Hillary you will be our President!

Hillary 08 !!

Claro que podemos!
We can make it happen together!

Looks like Hillary will be losing Texas. It's about time we move on to the general election.

Obama 08

SOUNDS LIKE SOUR GRAPES
GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!

ENOUGH WITH THE CLINTONS, BEEN THERE DONE THAT!

People calm down. Let's see what the great people of Texas have to say. I expect turnout to be exceptionally high across the board. If Obama wins TX or Ohio, it's over.

Look out for more fear-mongering from the Clinton and McCain camps as Obama edges closer to the nomination. All of the demons are lining up against him, but God has the ultimate say.

Go Barack Go, all the way to the White House.

The only poll that will matter is the one given the evening of March 4th!

Obama for President!

Remember the poll before NH primary? Go Hillary. You are the qualified commander in chief. The Obama bubble is going to burst.

UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!! if it's not mandated, it won't happen!!

HILLARY '08

I personally love how the top ticker story was the amount of money Sen. Clinton raised, with this poll story below it. NOW, the poll is the top story and the money story have reversed. How nice is that?? Yes, I am a Clinton supporter, but come on now...I'd be just as upset if the same happened to Sen. Obama.

Open your eyes America, with the current U.S and world situation, we need someone with experience in office. We cant experiment with Obama, it's to risky. VOTE HILLARY 08!

This is from the Rasmussen poll for Texas that Obama at 48% and Clinton at 44%. Looks like Barack has eaten into her Hispanich vote quite considerably.

Obama leads by sixteen points among men, but trails by nine among women. Clinton’s lead among Hispanic voters is down to seven percentage points.

So much for momentum. He hasn't moved at all in the polls. All within margin of error. And he expects to do what against McCain?

Hillary will win....Texas and Ohio...I have faith in my fellow realistic American's. Mr Hussein/Preacher/Man still keeping the woman down will go down himself!

It seems to me that no matter what gains Senator Clinton makes, they will always be overshadowed by some other positive remark about Senator Obama. I have nothing against Senator Obama. I'm glad that things are going so well for him, but is it just me or has Senator Clinton been getting really bad press? It seems she can do no good and hasn't a chance in the world of winning. I'm glad she's still holding her own. She's a fighter and I hope she sticks it out until the end.

Go Hillary!!!
Ohio loves you.

If Hillary does not win, I hope she drops out. The continuous albeit necessary jabs from one Democrat to another in competition for the nomination are only providing ample fuel for the Republicans when the real race kicks in. I am an Obama fan, but let's face it, he and Hillary are birds of a feather. Let's keep the mud OUT and leave this race about what's best for our country!

can someone on this blog talk to me about the experience bill clinton had before becoming one of america's "greatest presidents?"

hrc does have a good record but i do not think she is honest. i also keep hearing about her experience- what the white house as first lady? she has been in local, state and federal politics for almost 20-30 years. Obama has been in the same capacities over the last 20 years. please tell me what is so much better about her? i am trying to make a decision here and i keep hearing people discuss her experience but i have heard just as much about obama.

senator obama said that his health program is better than clintons in the sense of cost saving but i think its unreasonable and unwise to save cost instead of saving lifes no matter thew cost.thank you hillary for your beautifully formulated and wise idea that will benefit all.

I like them both, whoever wins will be getting my vote in Novemeber!

The college students were only between the ages of 6 and 14 when the Clintons were in the White House so they don't remember a balanced buget, low gas prices, and everyone had a job. The Republican Attack Machine could not get the Clintons on that so they went after their personal life. He knew how to run this country. Hillary has plans to solve the problems when others do not. We can not afford to put someone in there as inexperienced as Obama. He said himself when asked when he was elected to the Senate if he was going to run for president. He said no he did not have the experience. Later he was talked into running. Wake up people.

Do people still believe these polls? All we can do is cast our votes and wait and see.
I just want to add that it is depressing to read how bias and close minded people are about their candidates.

I'll be happy once Clinton loses TX and Obama can get started focusing on McCain for the general election.

Wak up America. Neither Obama nor Clinton will be able to deliver on their campaign promises. The USA are involved in a costly war on terrorism and th energy crisis is eating up most of our resourses. We have no choice but to go with the most qualified candidate at this difficult moment- John McCain.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

I need to see her tax returns!!!!!

Very good. Clinton raises $35 million in February .Go Hillary. Hillary will surely win TX, Oh, and PA, and then will win the general election, and will be the first woman president in America, which is wonderful. I am very proud of it though I am a man.

Other countries like Canada, British, Germany, turkey, Pakistan, chile, Philippians can have a woman leader, why not our America? It is not fair.

When people site any information regarding other polls – like the Latin vote or policy issues and plans by any of the candidates, it's standard practice to cite where the information comes from or include a link.

As anyone, whose ever written a term paper in high-school or college knows.

We all need to make decisons based on fact not others misinterpretations of such or biases.

Hillary may have some good plans...but can she see them realized?
Her failure to provide the jobs she promised running for senator failed,according to her, because she expected a democratic majority in the House and the Senate. Hillary in the White House will only serve to polarize Republicans. She will get nothing done. And I don't believe she's capable of working across party lines..she has to many axes to grind. I believe in Obama's ability to unite.

where are her tax returns????? we know she she made 35mil but how do we know she didnt loan herself that money????

Go Hillary! The people of this country better wake up and read the necessary qualifications for the president of the US. The news media have given Obama a free ride since he arrived upon the scene. They need to know more about him. Has he ever had any experience with foreign leaders, any experience with business, any experience other than a junior senator from Illinois. Has he ever held down a full time job???? All I have heard is hope, change, we can do it. Well, I think it requires more than a motivational speaker to run the country and if you look back the present Mr. Geo. Bush was one of the best cheerleaders and that is how he got in office. He had them all snowed!!!!!!!! Think about it folks!

Who cares about the polls. Everyone knows Obama is going to win as he did for the past 11 contests.

I have a question. Does anyone know if these polls taken into account that Texas and Ohio are open primaries? I mean, if Obama is ahead by a few points in these polls, doesn't that constitute to a bigger lead when you consider his advantage with republicans and independents who may vote in the primaries?

Obama is gonna win, go to Kosovo Hillary

I'll trust my gut feeling over polls any day. If you torture statistics enough you make them say anything. Besides when was the last time anyone got called on some of these polls? With the right phone lists you can guarantee the outcome you want. How does polling 1500 to 2500 people truely show the country's opinion as a whole?

Polls are useless, use your brain and make up your own mind.

Hillary "08

Vig, Get over yourself she ISN'T Joan of Arc...she isn't a saint. If she is going to run on the experience of the Clinton White House, then she will get treated as such...you act is if there is no bad history.

I am a woman and want nothing more than a QUALITY Female to have this job.... Hillary isn't, she is women at our worst.

This is interesting, but I would like to hear more about the polls in Ohio. Texas's polls have been talked about often in this blog. I'm more interested in how Barrack is doing in the rest of the states on March 4th. Thank you.

I must agree polls, pundits, and prognosticators can not truly measure the Obama – mojo. There has never been in the history of political campaigns a coalition of force like what Barack brings. He has inspired ALL to take a stake in the political process. I believe both he & Hillary have similarities in policy and all the tangibles, but Barack has that (thing) you can't quantify! He brings a different perspective that both Hillary and McCain lack.

.
.

.....Hillary –Solid plans, intensive experience !!

.....Obama - Empty Words, No Substance !!

....Vote for Hillary 08 !!!!.
.
.
.

Why would someone vote for Clinton?
She is nobody without her husband. Has no experience at all....
As an elected public official she has barely 4 years in US senate.... thats it...
Obama has 8... Just because she was first lady does not make her qualified... far from it... Would a wife let her husband cook dinner at thanksgiving just becuase he has lived with her for years and watched her do it? give me a break....!
She has accomplished NOTHING and screwed up when she voted for Iraq war...
So tell me again, why should I vote for Hillary?

So, what's new?

SH,

You could be right, but she'd have to make it to the White House in order to implement those plans. I just don't believe she would win THE BIG ONE against John McCain. Independents don't like her, they prefer him over her. But when faced with the choice between McCain and Obama they choose Obama. I want the Republicans OUT and I believe Obama can make that happen...NOT HRC.

Whoever is reporting these poll numbers are either totally stupid or think the american public really swallows this "hook line and sinker"....what a joke. Look at the dates and who is reporting what.

CNN, please post this for others to consider:

First, you quote an average of 3 polls without giving individual numbers. Then, you site individual polls taken on previous dates. Why not another average of 3?

The inconsistency in your reporting leaves people to wonder what your true intentions might be. You clearly would like us to compare an average of 3 to random individual pollings that YOU selected seemingly at random.

I see it is working, as some were duped into thinking Obama's momentum is slowing. Look again people, in any one of the 3 averaged polls CNN failed to cite, his numbers could be way up.

Thanks CNN for reporting the truth in its entirety, as if these polls matter anyways.

I do not know why this country spends time talking and situations that don't even count. The majority of the posting these comments are not even in Texas/Ohio. Let the states involved in these primaries decide on 4/4/2008 when the polls close and the results are in. Talk is cheap, let the real champion be revealed. Good luck to both candidates.

I really do not know who I will choose but it seems to me like Hilary is in a panic mode lately. Obama just seem so cool and collected really do not understand if he is that confident or just composed. Basically what it will come down to for me is experience and what bills have been voted for or against.

SH, plan to cut child poverty in half? Can you say more taxes for you and me?

Hillary, God don't like ulgy. Rejection from your mouth, like your tax returns, seems to be questions of trust. If anyone seeking public office
nowdays can't be open about their income, one must wonder how open they are going to be about the people's money. We have had enough of the Bushs behind close doors "FIGHTER'S" politics. That is why Billary's unversial health care plan fell like a lead ballon the last time. "ENOUGH OF THE ALREADY PREPARED ON DAY ONE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...The Obama Drama bubble will burst....hopefully it will happen before it's too late. Great speaker but he is a little confused and impulsive....especially with regard to foreign policy. It's a mine field out there...i don't want him to be the one trying to wander us thru it. And at home, he thinks he can make all the republicans go away! What will they make of him? How do you spell MINCEMEAT!

Claims of betrayal by Clinton backers on the part of John Lewis are just plain idiotic. Isn't the whole Clinton argument that superdelegates should be allowed to vote as they see fit?

Obviously, political considerations are important for any superdelegate. John Lewis' congressional district voted *overwhelmingly* for Obama in the Georgia primary. In Lewis' position, you'd switch too.

Bottom line: The only change that's been Xeroxed is Clinton, for the last six weeks, getting her derriere handed to her on a "Change We Can Believe In" poster.

Finally we see Obama = Empty words, Empty Suit, Speech Maker.

Hillary 08 !!!

.

cnn, whats the margin of error on your fantastic polls? any lead under 5 points has to be actually a tie. polls schmolls!

1. A statistical deadheat in Texas,
2. A 7-point difference favoring Hillary in Ohio,
3. A 7-point difference favoring Hillary in Rhode Island, and
4. A statistical deadheat in Vermont mean this:-

On March 4th, Hillary is not going to overtake Obama's 150-delegate lead. Actually, she will need to beat him by 15 points in each of those states.

Therefore, the logical question is: If Obama is still ahead after March 4th, does Hillary pack it in or risk watching the party split heading into spring and summer?

V in CA, Obama losing support? You are just as delusional as the Clinton!

The polls will always be around, but only the votes count. Hay V in Ca. If you think Obamas support is dropping you definately need to pay attention to the support that Hillary's is losing. Looks like Texas is not a sure win for her now.

Go Obama!

what i find surprising is that everybody knows she will not succeed in front of Mc Cain in november. she is conscious of this issue herself i'm sure, but is doing nothing about it. it means she is still convinced she can do it, and during the same moment, electors are convinced she can't. for the interest of the dem party in itself, why continue such a self-destructing process? people, be kind. tell her ...

All I can say is GO HILLARY!!!!!!! If Hillary does not make the nomination, I will vote for McGain and I doubt I will be the only one...

how many are voter CNN reporter? How many are voter Obama campaign? How many are voter 3D person? Wake up Texas and Ohio. Don't let media affect your vote.

caliguy...it appears you are very shallow to think a person is represented by their name. Shame on you. Who cares what a person's name is......Will that really matter in the end. Geez

Honestly, its time to end this. We need to reorganize and get ready for the Republicans. This continued debate is somewhat hurting the party. I am hoping this will be over next week at this time. We cannot affort to have this linger too much longer.

Is it March 4th yet????

LatinoNation gracias por la informacion. Clinton es la mejor opcion para nostros. Los tejanos latinos me hacen orgulloso.

Viva Hillary!!

When all is said and done Tue March 4,there will still be more said than done.I'll just be glad to see the Clintons have to concede then I can focus on the next president,McCain.WV doesnt get to vote til May.By then the Clintons should have tucked their tails and went home.

"perceived momentum of Sen. Obama."

*Perceived?* 11 straight wins is *perceived?* That's Hillarious.

If Obama had lost 11 straight the DNC would be asking him to concede. Please.

A FUTURE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA WILL NOT CRY ABOUT HAVING QUESTIONS FLYING HER WAY FIRST...THAT'S WHAT A 5TH GRADER WILL DO...NOT A 65 YEARS OLD LADY..COME ON HILLARY AND YOUR TAXS WE WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT BEFORE WE VOTE...LADY

Ah Clinton, the final moments before your final blow. That would make it 15 straight losses for you on March 5.

Obama 08, time for a change from the Clintons and all their baggage. Go Obama.

OBAMA = all words, no action

Come on Texans and Ohioans (Is that the correct term..sorry if it's not). It's all up to you if you want Hillary to win this thing. Get out and vote for her! She's the best we have. And this is coming from a college educated white male.

Cali guy is a jerk!

Use Obama's middle name all you want!

He's never run from it.

At least we'll know who YOU are and what you're about...

The race SHOULD come down to McCain & Clinton. They both have experience and an actual plan for the country. Obama is like a child playing in the sandbox with the big, smart kids, and trying to mimic everything they do and say. He's not fit to run this country.

I thought that the polls for Clinton and Obama in Texas were different from what the article written today stated. I thought that Clinton was initially the one winning 48-42 and that the later polls favored Obama 50-48. However the article states that Clinton was leading in both polls. Can I have some clarification?

There has been no coverage of how the Democratic conventio works. I am tired about super delegates etc. I wish the networks would talk about the roll call of the states and territiories. If no candidate gets 2025 votes, the Secretary says that the delegates can change their votes. Each state goes off to caucus. There can be 4 or 5 roll calls. The suoer delegates should not be used since there should be a naomintee before. Please explain this on air and give us the schedule(agenda) of the convention so we can see an overall view of the five day events. Rachel Rue

Hillary will win TX and Ohio. Obama's empty rhetoric is no longer working after plagiarism blunder. If he keeps copying Hillary's policy, why should the voters elevate him to the highest office instead of Hillary?

I can't wait till Texas wieghs in and people start understaning this race is not even close to being over. Go Hillary!!!!!!!

Let's see; Obama ahead by 2%, Hillary ahead y 2%, polls indicate that Obama ahead by 10% with 10% undecided.....and on....and on...and on........Can we trust the polls? Well chew on this; half of the American people have never read a newspaper and half have never voted for a President. The best we can hope for is that it is the "same half." Sometimes I believe that if God had truly meant our vote to mean something, he would have give us a candidate.

I really cant wait for tuesday to come when Texas, Ohio, vermont nd rhode island will cast their votes but im having dat feeling its gonna be Barack's day! Go Obama! Go Democratic! We in Africa love nd support you wholeheartedly!

Im pretty sure that Barack has Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island, and Hillary will win Ohio, but the catch is that she needed to win Ohio as well as Texas, so this will cause her to be even more worse off, and thus giving the nomination to the rightful, next president of the USA.

Obama Richardson 08!!!!

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is far better qualified to be the president of our country than any other candidate, including Senator Barak Obama. Mrs. Clinton’s deep grasp of issues and policies makes her far more ready to take on the presidency than Mr. Obama and besides each debate I see Mr. Obama merely copying her; without originality in thought or the depth of grasp that she has. And besides his lack of foreign policy experience makes him even less qualified to be our next president.

I am a Moslem. I Like America and the American People. I do not live in the Us, but I know he American democracy, literature, music and arts including t cinema. I am following the US elections. It is a great and vibrant act. I hope if we have it in our countries. I like Hilary a lot. She is a strong person. She is also a woman. We want women in top jobs. Still I think Obama represents a new thing. He is not a person. It is a phenomena. The American people have awakened to a new dawn

Jesus said have faith in Me and I shall provide(he didn't give us a plan)
Do you think Obama is on the same playing field?
Do your homework people!!!!!

Obama is the man!!! I can not wait until March 4th.

I don’t understand what the big deal is. His parents named him... Who knew the name Hussein would be taboo in the United States 46 years ago. What, people who don’t give a flip about him thinks he should change his name to appease them??!?!?! Paleeeease....

GO OBAMA!!!!!

I hope Hillary takes Texas and Ohio. I believe that won't happen however. This nation of ours voted Bush in twice. I had better judgement both times not voting for him once and being able tp see through him verses the other 50 % of the population who voted him in twice, I hope those of you who supported Bush don't plan to vote since you have such poor judgement. Stay home and do us all a favor.

go on slow but clarly all the best

You vote for Hillary Clinton, you nurture the dynasty Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton. Hillary will reinstall Bill back to WH as copresident. They together will sell this country to wealthy foreigners and countries like Saudi, China, India and they will favor the wealthy CEO & friends who pay huge $$ to them. Where is Clinton's tax return, where are Hillary's document as first lady? they hide them. She only disclose the tax return when / if she is nominated. Get it, people. If she does not have anything to hide, she would release her tax return.

I am concern for my children and grandchildren; they won't be able to find their jobs let alone bring the dinner to the table and provide shelter to their families. Wake up, are 8 years of Bush & Chenney enough? do you really want to move backward and live in the past.

I will vote for the best candidate in November, not Hillary & Bill Clinton.

The polls of democrates don't mean anything, it is the independent voters that mean everything and those voters are for Obama. Obama will win big in Texas and Ohio.

Obama '08 Now!!!!!

Here's the solution to America's problem:

1. Vote for a president who can get American's interests peeked. (OBAMA)
2. Vote for a president who can have a successful conversation without showing their feelings on their shoulders. (I would hate for my president to start crying when they don't get their way)
2. Get them Clinton's/Bush's out of the white house and far away from the premises.
3. Keep the enthusiam generated by the Obama train.
4. Make your city and state officials accountable (vote and voice your opinions during election time)
5. Start living a better life at home (live by your means)
6. Pray

I have MY OWN brain...MY OWN thoughts...MY OWN desires and political insight. They seem to mirror most of the Democrats in OUR country – OBAMA is best...let's face facts...Clinton has not run a good campaign; she's changed her message; she's been devisive and she failed to plan beyond Super Tuesday; she overspent and was not up-to date on campaign internet fundraising; she has proven to be a mediocre leader ... YOU support Hillary – but don't degrade my decision (or that of anyone else) to choose Obama....who has built a remarkable mixed, ground-up, dynamic coaltion of American Citizens – he has shown remarkable leadership in corralling innumerable volunteers to work positively and effectively on his (and our nations) behalf -- OBAMA RULES!!!

Hillary promised New Yorkers a lot of jobs, about 600,000 or so. She was unable to deliver to her constituents in New York. It is easy for her to talk about her plans, like she did in 1992 about her health care plan. It also fizzled. Why does anyone think she'd be able to deliver as president in 2009?

What's being said then...is that neither of them will gain alot of delgates on the other in Texas..that would leave Hillary still behind in the delegate count after March 4th.
N. Carolina/Indiana on May 6th ...balance out Pennsylvania on April 22.

Obama 08' !

FOR ALL THE OBAMA HATERS OUT THERE. JUST TAKE THIS ONE AS A LOST AND LET IT GO.

11 WINS IN A ROW; AND HEADING TO NC, MS. NO WAY DOES HILLARY HAVE A CHANCE.

GET OVER IT.

It is common knowledge that Hillary has to win by HUGE margins in
Texas, which at this point is unlikely, to even catch Obama. Remember
we are not talking about winning points, but delegates. She simply
will not bring down his momentum by then. There is also a vast Obama support from the latino community.

OBAMA 08.

How many people do you know that announce their middle names? Hillary hasn't announced her middle name either, or John McCain or Romney or Mike Huckabee...so why should Obama have to announce his? I have a middle name that I never use, because I don't like it.
We have no input when we are born as to what our names will be....if so, many of us would have chosen differently.....

I want someone that not only talk about making a change but who WILL make a change.Saying it and doing it is 2 differerent things.How dare the MEDIA compare OBAMA TO THE LATE GREAT DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING and now TO NELSON MANDELA! In all due respect is this because they are all men of color? If anyone thinks that experience does not count ,well please think again. If OBAMA does win the vote I think the real determining factor will be who he chooses as his Vice Presidential running mate AND IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE MUCH STRONGER THAN MCCAINS RUNNING MATE . Iam a Clinton supporter and it is not over until it is over but I do think if she should lose Texas and Ohio and it has to be a big win, than for the betterment of the party she has to stop campaiging and join forces with OBAMA. My hat off to Hillary Clinton ..............

I ENCOURAGE ALL HILLARY AND BARACK SUPPORTERS TO UNITE BEHIND THE DEMS NOMINEE, WHOEVER IT IS. WE NEED TO UNITE POEPLE.

ALL THIS PETTY COMPLAINING AND CRITICISM IS DOWNRIGHT DIVISIVE.

BUT FOR TRUE HATE MONGERS AND RACISTS, I DON'TEXPECT ANYTHING DECENT.

Hmm a few weeks ago Ms. Clinton was leading by double digits now it is too close to call, it is amazing what happens when the voters actually get to see and hear Mr. Obama and not just live with media filtered images! And THIS is why the delegates from Florida and Michigan should not be seated folks they had no chance to see or hear the REAL Mr. Obama just what the media filtered to them. Glad this preelection is almost over, and I guess I am not the only one, Mr. Obama has turned his attention to Mr. McCain the real election procsess is almost ready to begin! Less than a week and I will no longer have to see fake tears, rants and cries of media bias, I will only have to put up with the typical right wing lies that I have learned to ignore over the years!

Lets get the vote then we will believe who win. Tired of polls. Texas and Ohio voter your choice and we will end the division of the democrats .
Vote to stop the division of the democratic party and let's join together and face McCain face on.

WHY IS MY COMMENT STILL AWAITING MODERATION. IS IT BECAUSE I SAID SOMETHINIG NICE ABOUT HILLARY.
I GUESS YOU ARE REALLY ONE SIDED.
NOT NICE CNN

Wake up America!!! To those who support Hilary Clinton – OPEN YOUR EYES. She will be no different than Bush!! Yes she speaks out against him, but when it comes to her voting record she has laid down her precious votes to going into IRAQ, to continuing to support IRAQ and continuing to help this government erode our rights!! She is a politician, a liar and a money maker! Come on!! We need a new face to the Democratic Party. Think about it! We ahve been hugely unsuccessful in making any changes in Washington – just more arguments and stalemates. She is a huge part of that! Grow UP – she is part of the past! Let's move into the future! OBAMA 08

From an executive management perspective, the only signifcant executinve experience Sen Obama or Sen Clinton have is running a national primary campaign. Sen Obama has out organized, out funded, out planned and out motivated Sen Clinton almost at every turn. Apparantly, Sen Clinton did not look beyond super tuesday (shades of president bush in Iraq), and will probably lose the nominatin as a resutl.

Questions for both candidates: Why burden the american people with a huge thrid entitlement program (health care), when two existing programs (social security and medicare) are facing huge looming solvency issues. From an executive perspective, it seems the first two should be fixed before entering upon another.

CLINTON OBAMA 2008!

Lets go guys! Time for the Democrats to get back in the white house

By the way, did you guys catch Ms. Aldelfa Callejo on CBS11? Ms. Callejo is a leader in the North Texas Community and she stated that Obama's only problem is that he is BLACK, She said latinos will not vote for him because latinos and blacks are divided in Texas. so you guy need to really do your homework and see how Obama is a true fighter, a fighter for America.

One more thought... Will Hillary Reject or Denounce Ms. Aldelfa Callejo?

TEXAS OHIO RHODE ISLAND VERMONT FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!
THE HILLARY TIDE IS HERE!!!!
IT IS ALIVE AND WELL!!!!!!

LET'S GO PEOPLE!!!
THE TIME IS NOW!!!!!!
I HEAR GOOD THINGS COMING OUT OF THESE STATES.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

"I'm honored to be running with Barack Obama", "Shame on you, Barack!"...

2 faces...

They said the same thing about New Hampshire, "Obama in the lead," He loses by 2 points. California. . . a "dead heat" and Hillary won by 10 points. Wisconsin was "too close to call" and Obama won by 17 points.
Polls have never been accurate, everyone is just going to have to hold their breathe till election day and not try and make any predictions off a tiny sampling of the population.

Get ready Obama supporters, the hatered youve heaped upon Sen. Hillary Rohdam Cliton is about to come back at you Thrice fold from the repuplicans and , Oh ya......... and whats that......" NO WHINING" Free rie is about over!

Obama is likely to win this thing in Texas and Ohio because , Clinton has shown her true colors , she can't be trusted. Plus putting Bill out there was a huge mistake on Hillary's part. It just reminded people that the Clinton's are part of the problem , not the solution.

I think people are foolish to think that Obama will win in November. Here are my reasons:

1) In Texas Republicans are not voting in the Republican primary, but the Democratic Primary. This has been happening especially in the last few weeks. They "say" the reason is that their party candidate is decided already and they want a voice. The voice is shooting for Obama because he is beatable in the fall.

2) There are too many ignorant people in the country who won't care what he has done – they care that his father was muslim and his name is "not American". Barak Hussain Obama is a scary name for the ignorant,

3) The Republican machine hasn't gotten a hold of him yet. With Senator Clinton – it is all out there - no surprises. Just wait – Obama gets the nomination then the GOP will have a field day on his "squeaky clean" reputation.

Go Hillary - better to go with what we know than to get another Republican President.

Obama is about Obama.
Clinton is about America!

Just look what make to the front page: Obama middle name can not be used,
Questionable pictures of Obama can not be shown, No body can say anything negative about Obama, even you don’t support him- you have to praise him.
His campaign is not directly attacks Hillary Clinton, but people around her, her supporters: why her supporters say that and that and why they send this e-mail. Never mind that Obama people use such vulgar language in their posts.

Hillary 2008!

Thank you for mentioning Dr. Ron Paul, CNN!

Yes, Clinton is a darling queen– a great dynasty!! This is her turn, she has earned this and no one should take it away from her!

you cant get anything done if you have a leader that doesn't inspire people to get involved. All Hillary does is separate people, its the same old hash ! Why do people want another Clinton?! Does it make you feel all comfy and warm inside because how the 90's felt? GET OVER IT. Bill wasnt even that good of a president, If he lied UNDER OATH about a silly sexual encounter you can bet he was capable of lying about so much more. Think Bill x10 if Hillary is president. Obama is a breath of fresh air that this country needs, stop with your racism thats hidden behind the 'no experience and all rhetoric' argument. He is presidential material and the best option we got to move forward.

Good job Clintonians. The issue is not the competition but the fact that statistically your candidate cannot win in pledged voting delegates. In the meantime, the Republicans are already campaigning against Democrats, organizing, "identifying" the Democratic candidates and yet we're having to have a 20th debate in order to appease Hillary's 'ego' even though no new ground was covered in the debate just free air time for Hillary.

How many times will the Clintons bring down the Democratic Party for their selfishness? The first was the 'my way or the highway' health program thrust down the throats of Congress, so far that it was regurgitated up in the form of a newly elected Republican Congress. The second was the lack of discipline of Bill with his picadillos wandering through the White House, and now it's Hillary's lost cause, slash and burn candidacy that will allow Republicans to slice Democrats up unless Democrats soon come up with a nominee who is free to start the campaign against the Repubs.

Start caring about America and not your own selfishness Clintonians. We need to start the campaign with the Republicans.

Clinton's done for

Barack Hussein Obama Jr (BHO) is dangerous to both US economy and our International Relations. Iran will be very emboldened, and will proceed with its nuclear program. Because he is terribly ignorant of economy, policies and international politics; he is naive and stupid.

Hillary is very strong in TX and OH, also in PA. This is very important to stem this media candidate the FAR LEFT Liberal from stealing this Nomination.

Counting ALL votes and seating all delegates, including FL, MI and Super delegates, Hillary is leading BHO by 20 delegates: 1465 vs 1445. This lead will increase after June 22, after PA.

Vote for Hillary FOR REAL POSITIVE CHANGE. Go Hillary Go.

it was neck-n-neck in california polls too, and hillary killed it here!! and don't forget new hampshire

Yes, Clinton is great

Thanks for all your pro-Hillary comments....it's getting quite nerve-wracking here where the media just loves to punt Obama....they like to pretend they're non-racial! Give me a break. Go Hill

Ask Hillary why won't she come up with tax papers before Texas and Ohio caucases.

Ain't it ashame that she is asking people of this great country to trust her and she is betraying them simply by not coming forth with her taxes.

Texas and Ohio, blacks, white, litinos, hispanics, liberals, conservatives, republicans, wake up, she is not being honest as to why she has not turned in the documents that has been requested, be smart enough to ask yourselves why. And if she would hide things from you now, what in the hell would she do as your president. Hide things from the public and that is Baracl's message, "we cannot afford to conduct business as usual".

James Smith February 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

...And for those supporters of Sen. Obama who say Sen. Clinton should drop out, I say that you shouldn't be afraid of a little competition. We're not.

You should be...

Let Obamba tell the American people his middle name, so that we will know who telling the truth about his ( Husisen) I do not care to spell it right.

Samuel freeman (PA)

Don't count her out yet Obama hopefuls. The largest minority
in this country has not yet spoken.
Wonder if this will get posted, since I am not on the Obama
wave!

They say that we "Obamabots" are the one's who follow Barack like a " cult-"-That WE are delusional.The Clinton "Crusifixion " analogy almost made me hurl! Come on now--It's time to wake up and quit all this stuff on both of our sides! Barack Obama will be our Nominee, and as Democrats we need to unify to defeat as War-loving, hate-mongering Republican Party!

"Sen. Clinton is holding her own in Texas, despite the perceived momentum of Sen. Obama. I think she'll win, and wins in Texas and Ohio will keep her in the race. "

Do the math! She needs to win by 65%. A tie or loss in either is not enough.

Obviously, you are just uninformed. Slate.com for example has a delegaate math calculator to help you and see that Clinton's task is truly daunting.

This is why many people say that she should drop out. The polls do not show her anywhere near where she needs to be. She needs LANDSLIDES from here on out, otherwise she comes up short.

Just what is all that experience Hillary keeps claiming to have? 35 years of what? Law intern, lawyer, wife of Governor, lawyer, wife of president, 8 years in the Senate.

Why is that experience (basically being a lawyer and serving 8 years in the Senate) more impressive than Obama who has a couple years in the Senate and prior to that time in a state legislature? Please don;t say being the wife of a president counts. By that measure, Laura Bush is gaining fast on Hillary.

Texas and Ohio
Please don't waste your votes. Analyze the issues and the ability of each candidate to get things done. Balance Hillary's pragmatism with Obama's idealism. Think of what is at stake right now and for all Americans, not just for those who have jobs and homes and need some excitement. This is not a movement, this is an election. Its not about you all 'governing' God knows how, its about hiring a good executive. If there is any fairness and good reasoning in this country, Hillary should be the nominee.

The message is clear:

Use Obama's middle name: Racist

Point out Obama's religious history: Racist

Question Michelle Obama's pride in her country: Racist

Obama's picture in Muslim clothing on recent trip to Africa: Racist

Shed light on the radical views espoused by Obama's Church: Racist

Criticize Obama in any way: Racist

Vote for any other candidate besides Obama: Racist

We can expect more of the same if Obama becomes president. Do we really want our congress and supreme court being labeled racists for not embracing Obama's radical liberal agenda?

Please Mr. Obama, tell us what you plan to do for America.

I don't want to hear anymore preaching "hope and whatever-it-is."

The media has trounced Hillary into the ground, and they have lifted you up, so let's start today with some meaningful diaglog with those of us who have no clue what you stand for.

If Hillary loses March 4 and you become heir apparent, I am changing my 40 year-plus Democratic registration to Independent.

We need a woman in the White House. Men have ruled the planet for centuries. Give Hillary a chance. She may not be perfect but there is something about Barrack that gives me the heeby jeebies. Just the thought of him in the White House gives me the chills. In the words of my 4-year-old daughter:

"Hillary RULES
Barrack DROOLS."

GO HILLARY!!!!

Women please don't let her down for this time. we had been allowed men run this country for so long. we are the mother of the world. He is cute but we don't have to vote for him. He could be a vice president for now. I know we are smart people don't get foul easy and you know who is the best for the job. We have to stand up for the woman that has ability to run the country. Thanks you

Senator Clinton is not interested in the American people. She is interested in having power. She cannot control her emotions. As a woman I am deeply disturbed by her behavior. She is not the kind of person I want running this country. She is an expert in one thing- playing the blame game. It's never her fault...it's Obama's, it's the media, it's her campaign staff. I've had enough.

I hope my fellow Texas Democrats do the right thing, and extend Barack Obama's unbroken primary victory string by one more contest.

A victory for Obama is a victory for America.

Per the polls, I, for one, do not follow them; they have proven to be misleading to the average reader. On the one hand, the major issues of the day, for example, healthcare, immigration, Iraq, education, and real estate, are being neglected from the political discourse, while, on the other hand, we are nagging about issues that shouldn't be considered the problems of the day (ie: Cunningham, "Hussein"). I am a New Yorker and, frankly, I think Hillary has failed the state and, more importantly, I think she will fail this country if she becomes our leader. Indeed, she's a fighter, but she'll end up expending her energy on issues that happened under her husband. Therefore, I don't buy the fight and experience arguments, rather I've decided to support a fresh face. Likewise, I refuse to believe that only two families are experienced enough to run our beloved country. I don't hate any of the candidates, but she's not the answer to our problems. If she wins, I am staying home.

GOBAMA!!! TEXAS FOR OBAMA!! People want change to politics as usual in Washington.

Sen Clinton is divisive and manipulative. She plays the sympathy, gender, and race card when it suits her. If she's so "vetted and experienced" why didn't she get things done in Washington during her "35 years of experience"?

Sen. Elizabeth Dole never used the gender card to get ahead, neither did she use Bob Dole's record to advance her own "vetted experience" when she ran for President back in 2000, so Sen.Clinton has lost major cool points with her bid for using tears to garner sympathy from voters.

She ran a horrible campaign, so how is she going to run the country? If she's so vetted and experience, why is she erratic with her emotions when she's called on the carpet for her record? She is not a leader but an elitist who's using her hubby's President as a co-presidency? REALLY? Does she take responsibiliy for all the scandals as well? For the impeachment?

Probably not since she doesn't even acknowlegde the states she's lost, the bad times in the white house, and her lack of disclosure for her tax records.

GOBAMA!! BRING BACK CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

To Be tied is a big deal Considsering he came from behind

The polls are only showing the results of voters with Land Lines. Thousands of us have dropped our land line and do not have to be bothered by "junk Phone Calls"

Well, I'd like to post a thought-provoking comment here but I'm not sure it's worth the time since it probably won't get posted...like my last several attempts.

OBAMA '08!
CLINTON '08!
MCCAIN 'O8!
NADER '08!

There! All the bases are covered. Can I get on AT LEAST once?

What's the margin of error on the poll of polls CNN?

Can't figure it out? Maybe it's because you CAN'T just average a bunch of random polls and have it anywhere close to statistically accurate!

LOL

Remember when the polls said Clinton was down by over 10 points in California THE DAY BEFORE SUPER TUESDAY

Then SHE WON BY OVER 10 POINTS

POLLS MEAN NOTHING

After all of the Clinton dishonesty why do people still support them. That makes them look like the most naive people in the world. She wont even release her income tax records. She's been stalling. Stop being so retarded Clinton supporters.
I guess it wont matter to you to be lied to for another 4 years.

It is done for Hillary. She needs at least a 20% in Texas AND Ohio- NEITHER will happen! I really think Senator Obama will win Texas!

Is he ashamed of the name his parents gave him?

Ohio and Texas should realize that Senator Obama is for them, their health, livelihood, and advancement. He has the sense to unite rather than divide,as this is how the USA STANDS STRONG. This is why he denounced and rejected Senator Clinton's rhetorical attempts to perpetuate intolerance by divisively interjecting RACE, SEX, and RELIGION into her speeches on the stump and in the debates. It is good that he doesn't try to ailienate any American, during his run to become the Commander in Chief of the UNITED Sates of America. If Hill would release her "pristine" tax returns prior to 3/4/08, maybe Ohio and Texas would have an opportunity at making an informed decision and putting the "Polls" to shame!

The trouble with these polls lie right in the wording – "poll of LIKELY democratic voters." The vast numbers of voters this year makes it very clear that this year's voters are very unlikely. That alone makes these polls particularly unreliable.

If my wish came true Hillary would lose by at least 25% so the her and Bill and sell some sand in Bubai.

Interesting to see how a comfortable 10 point lead Hillary Clinton had in Texas has eroded into a report3d 3 point deficit.

I think its transparent that she is running on "thin" experience, and is just not the answer to what is troubling the United States today. Going back to the policy of her husband's administration of the 90's is not going to help.

She has at best 6 years of actual political experience. Her only elected office is the NY Senate seat.

She has no experience in the health care field. At least if Michelle Obama were to help as first lady she has actual hand on experience in the health care field.

Hillary's entire platform of experience is very thin. Her reactions to being asked questions first, and her complaining about the media are not what I am looking for in the next President.

The Democratic Party, the American Voter, any citizen owes her nothing based on her political "lineage". Her campaign reminds me a lot of the overconfidence shown by the New England Patriots. They played every game as if the outcome was predetermined and took some opponents for granted. That is what is telling about this election year.

It really appears to me as if she is running more on a platform of entitlement, and that should make us, the American people, ignore all the obvious flaws in her as a candidate.

As far as the media treatment to Senator Clinton. Its not unprecedented. Let's recall what happened to Howard Dean due to his 5 seconds outburst captured on the web. If anything I think she is catching a break. I am trying to picture the media's reaction to a male candidate that broke down and cried due to the 'rigors of the campaign trail'.

I think most readers of these forums can see through the duplicate posters above who copy and paste most of their comments and just alter their 'Names'.

I am so proud of Obama! You Hillary supporters are forgetting that Obama was the underdog... He has come a long way! Hillary said that she would be the nominee by Feb. 5th! I am offended by people saying that we are in a cult or somehow stupid for supporting someone that we feel will make a change for america.

Obama '08!!!

The RNC's use of Obama's middle name controversy that is in the news today is just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come. I mean, Hussein IS his middle name, through no fault of his own, but this will haunt him in the general election. I'll admit, there is so much to attack both candidates for and the RNC will leave no stone unturned. I don't know who will win the nomination, but over and over again, Hillary Clinton has shown she can take it. If there is any chance of taking back the WH, it lies with HRC...not BHO.

Let's talk about the candidate that has energized the voters, and yes even the youth voters. I just booked my flight and will be in Columbus, Ohio from March 1st -4th to help campaign. Let's face it we need immediate solutions to the problems facing America, healthcare, social security, and a return to sound foreign policy. That candidate is Hillary Clinton. I can see why the Go Obama!! camp can't see that he will definitely be great for America, but for now better to serve his country in moving forward chand in Congress on domestic issues. He is currently best positioned for congress, not President. Give him some time to mature and broaden his knowledge on foreign policy, Obama 2016!!

If its a tight race the 4th it won't settle anything the way the delegates are divided up. Hope you all have your prozac on hand.

can Hillary just run as independent and forget the Democratic nomination? Recent national poll suggested that McCain is just 6 percent ahead of her, which really statistically insignificant lead and I am sure alot HIllary's supporters will be loyal to her until Nov. comes so forget about the flip flopping elected officials and bitter Democratic nomination and just start campaining as presidentail contender.
Go Hillary!

People have been so narrow minded in the past and put Bush in for 2 terms.Obama is the man w/fresh ideas we need in the white house.Voting for Mc Cain would be like electing Eddie Haskell from Leave It To Beaver.Mc Cain mustve idolised Eddie as a kid as he can talk thru both sides of his mouth like Haskell did.Anyone who votes for Mc Cain is deaf,dumb,blind gullible and stupid!

I will be honest. I am not sure why I even bother putting a comment because it never gets posted. It seems like these days anything not singing the praises of HRC never makes the cut.

I see a comment where someone claims that Lewis betrayed Hillary. I find that to be an ignorant comment. Lewis followed the will of the people that voted for him. His districts voted for Obama in a runaway. He is responsible to the will of the people that voted for him not friendships.

Winning Texas and Ohio is not going to be enough for Hillary. She needs to win in a landslide. Anything less and her campaign is pretty much finished. She had a huge lead in Texas and Ohio and for Obama to make it close will be a huge win for him.

hillary,clinton.is,a,fighter,people,beter,think,hard,who,they,are,voteing.for.hillary,clinton.is,the,right,person.,not,obama,look,at,his,back,ground

Neither democratic candidate has a long history of top-tier leadership.

Those who consider having been First Lady a qualification for the Presidency baffle me. Obama, on the other hand, is less divisive, is less hindered by the political establishment, and has a personal dynamic that could draw widespread support and force a mandate for- hey, it's true- real change.

A return to 'ask what you can do for your country' is long overdue. Challenge the American people to do great things, and history has proven we will succeed. This is Obama's strength and I believe why people are supporting him in ever increasing numbers.

I see no more substance in Hillary than Obama. Therefore, I'm leaning toward Obama.

Sorry this is off topic but since it won't post in the section where it was asked I'll ask the the moderators allow this post here..... What really bothers me here isn't that Obummer's full name was used, it's that Obummer supporters as well as \the media and others don't question why his name was kept so quite for so long. A campaign of transparancy doesn't have deception. It's obvious that a majority of Americans don't know his middle name and I agree it was said to make people think., but let's really be real, if Obummer and his campaigh as well as the Democractic party hadn't been trying to keep it out of the public eye this wouldn't be an issue. It's his real name for Pete sake and should be said all the......

With the economy in a mess and being in two wars we need experience not hope or change .Granite Obama is a nice guy but right now we need experience so it should be Clinton or McCain .The housing market has hit rock bottom ,inflation is on the rise,unemployment is on the rise ,god knows whats going on with these two wars .The world hates America and we need to get somebody in there who can take charge from day one .

Most of the democrats in Texas aren't swayed by feel good speeches and copycat rhetoric. We have problems in this nation that need to be solved NOW. We are in a recession. Point blank. And if the major issues hitting every hard working man and woman in the pocketbook and livelyhood aren't solved soon...then we will be in another depression. Government needs to STOP cowering and coveting the handouts from major corporations and HELP AMERICANS. Most people are in a hole and see no way of escaping thanks to the blind sighted that are in power now. The only ones surviving in this economy are the big corporations. Americans need to realize that we have the voice. We need to use the powers that have been granted to us by the US Constitution. We WILL impeach the NEXT president if you can not solve these issues in a very timely manner. So all of you running better make dang sure that you can deliver on your promises. AMERICANS have had ENOUGH!

Texas for Obama. I can proudly say that I contributed to that 48%!

Obama 08!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOW THEM HOW A WOMAN CAN KICK BUTT.

Polls should no longer be believed after the vote here,Its not even close.The illegals cant even save Hillary now.

I have been a Hillary Clinton supporter for many years and I plan to continue that support. I cannot consciously vote for Senator Obama, so if he is the party's candidate, Senator Clinton will be my write-in vote in November. The media is making Senator Obama out to be the second coming of the Messiah. Unfortunately for him, the same media will crucify him, if and when he is in the White House.

No one has any right to say who is honest and who is not. Not one candidate has ever been complately honest. Not one candidate has ever said anything completely from their heart. This as well as every other campeign is a contest. That is all there is. Whoever wins does not win because they were the most honest, but because the people have some stupid reason to hate the other candidates whether they want to admit it or not.

Vote for the candidate who has been tested and vetted.

Vote for the candidate who will FIGHT for us.

Vote for the candidate with ANSWERS and SOLUTIONS.

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT

Obama fever seems to be dying down a bit, thank God!!!!!

I have to wonder if he wouldn't be totally out of the picture by now if the media had treated him the way they've been treating Hillary all along. My guess is yes. He can't seem to take the heat as well as she can, which is not a good thing for someone who wants the toughest job in the world.

Hillary is a smart lady but let's face it. Her peers won't work with her. She comes across too strong and unyielding.

The Republicans won't let her get anything done. That's what they did to Bill remember and they'll do it to her also.

I m don't care about the polls.All I know is that people are tired of politics us usual,
Go Obama

First of all Hillary, where is the WH china you stole when you left? Where are your tax returns? Is it true that you charge the Secret Service 10K a month to stay in your "guest house" while they are protecting YOU? Why don't you stop getting the service, and save the taxpayers that 10K a month.

If America votes for this woman heaven help us. She is selfish, greedy, obsessed with power, and dishonest. What do people see in Hillary? Everything she has ever done has been because she knew she was running for the presidency when Bill took office. She has used New Yorkers, African-Americans, Latino Americans...who else Hillary?

If I were Representative John Lewis I wouldn't lose one minute of sleep over a woman who would sell her soul for a vote. Did she care about John, or any other black person when her husband pulled the race card in SC?

She thinks she "won" the debate but she didn't. I'm looking for someone with integrity and she doesn't have any. There isn't one sincere bone in her body. Anybody like that does not need to stick one toe in the WH. Even when she was there, she was running for the presidency with that feeble Health Care stunt. She didn't even have a security clearance and she was ordering government workers around, so she could "look" good for her own selfish ambitions. She's shrewd, and if she is elected, it will be "All About Hillary", 24-7. Well, I'm not crowning her yet, she will never get my vote, or my soul for that matter.

A New York Observer Political Cartoonist said:

A book by Hillary Clinton:

"The Audacity of Nope" –how I single handedly stopped the most exciting campaign in decades.

The polls are talking points. It depends on who you ask and what you want the poll to say . I would like the Obama- Hillary ticker, but I don't think Bill could stay away. He would not allow them to do what I feel they could do if they had a chance.
Obama is a leader who can get people to listen long enough to think about the mission and Hillary ( the Warrior) can rally the troops to focus the figth at the target. I would love to have her leading the charge, but once the figth is over, she dosen't know how to stop figthing. But you always need Warriors! To bad we can't make the into one person. Mcain once was a Warrior, but now he is a confuse man living in his past life that has long gone. Sad to see he being use as a puppet. Truly sad!

Obama needs to win 3 states Tuesday to close this deal out.
I think she will get Ohio.
I get the feeling the delegate picture won't change much next week.
The worst thing that could happen is a split of the 4 contests.
Then we have another 6 weeks of desperation to endure.
DrFill

What a contrast! Britain's Prince Harry is in Afghanistan in combat, and America is swooning over a politician who promises change but is just another status quo politician with a sneaky feminine brand. This is giving him the bucks to buy his spot as nominee.

Do we want a president who makes women faint at emotional rallies or a president who can get the job done! At the moment its an American meltdown.

Wake up America! Barack will come down but it may be too late for the Dems again.

Hillary 08 or McCain 08

Hilary will get blown out of the water if it is between her and McCain. The base will line up behind 'Cain the day after her nomination (which she won't win, obviously) and independents don't like her enough to vote for her.

For all of Obama's rhetoric he uses to unite the base for the nomination, he's more centrist; for all of McCain's rhetoric he uses to unite his base, he's more centrist. McCain's problem will be that he'll have to take a hardline stance from now until November to keep the base, and democrats are so tired of the way things are they'll vote for Obama even with a center-left message.

You know, there's this pole in poland that thinks 100 pecent of the polls are inaccurate.

Polls mean nothing. Polls have been wrong. Up one day, down the next. Enough with the polls. Let the voters speak...than report on the outcome!!

hillary has to win texas by atleast 20 points difference if she wanna stay in the race, but polls are showing that obama is on the lead.....it seems like our girl aint gonaa survive the texas tuesday.

Come on CNN! Averaging the polls, as you is done to hide trends. Can't you report that Obama's lead is increasing over HRC?

Over the past ten years, Washington has been paralyzed by partisan bickering and fighting. Hillary has shown that she thinks this is "fun" and that she expects a fight. She feeds into this mentality over the past ten years of "us vrs them" and in this battle lost the concept that we are one country. She'd keep us divided just as Bush has done. If we looked back at her experience, Republicans will do everything they can to derail her and thus do the same for her Presidency. Can we afford that? Can we afford a divisive President in a time when we need someone who can bring the country together. How can we fix the economy if we hate and distrust one another. I don't want more of the same. I don't want to keep electing the same people over and over again. We need to move on and get away from the divisive politics of the past. We need to stop bickering and get working on our problems, on our future. As you can see, when we take the eye off the ball there are big consequences. I'm not saying the sky will open up or anything like what Hillary mocked Obama for saying. I am saying if we don't change the way we go about it, then why should we expect anything different?

Let's move on in this country. Let's be Americans again and not let the people in this country who thrive on our division run the show.

This is getting to the point of being absolutely insane. What's wrong with using someone's real name. If his middle name is Hussein then that's his middle name. Get over it !

GO HILLARY!

DON'T LEAVE US IN THE HANDS OF A GUY WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IS NAME OR IDENTITY

BARRY S OR OBAMA OR HUSSEIN

BOTTOM LINE THE GUY IS A BIG FLUFF BALL – SO RETAIL – SO NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL

DON'T LISTEN TO THE PRESS – THE PRESS ARE MEN WHO ARE TOO INSECURE TO HANDLE A WOMEN IN POWER – THAT'S HOW SIMPLE THIS IS – IS IT NOT OBVIOUS?

Ya know, this is too important to let slip away. Lastnight i heard on cnn they did a fact check on the healthcare policies and they said "on cnn" that an expert did agree obama's plan does leave 15 million out and another expert said there is no way to know exactly how many could possibly be "left out". I hope i'm not 1 of those ppl. I am a husband and a father of 4. My kids can't vote and i have to be a voice for them. Their needs tell me i need to vote for clinton. my children should get the best, most experinced person to speak for them.

hillary 08-16.....texas and ohio your vote really matters for the future of this nation. Don't take chances. we need you to speak for us now. do the right thing...for me and my family. thx

This morning, Adelfa Callejo, a prominent hispanic leader in Texas, and a Clinton supporter, made racists statements about Senator Obama. When asked if she rejected and denounced Callejo's support, Senator Clinton had a hard time committing to that, saying that people have the right to say what they want..........

Hillary will probably take Texas and Ohio by 2% to 5% of the popular vote however, this will not erode Obama's lead in pledged delegates in any significant fashion. James Carville and Bill Clinton made sure that the "bar" was set so low regarding these states, that Hillary would be able to claim victory and momentum despite having achieved neither.
Despite a "win" in Texas, because of the caucus system, Obama will gain the most number of pledged delegates...spelling the end for the Clintons.
If unfortunately the DNC cannot convince Hillary to drop out (or make nice)after Texas and Ohio but before Pennsylvania, it won't matter if she is the ultimate Nominee, she will absolutely lose in the general election. The Democratic party will essentially be torn apart, all the Independents and soft Republicans will be disgusted and run for the hills away from the Democratic party.
The chances, right now, of Hillary winning both the nomination and the presidency are probably less than 1%. (Whats the Vegas Line on this??)

I was wondering if those Senators who are now Supporting Obama Realize that this Election is one that is very Unusual. They should stop and think about what will happen when Senatorial Elections etc come around in a few years and that they will "NOT" get the African American People to Vote in the numbers that they are doing so at the Present time. It will be for the most part Clinton Supporters who will be the majority in these Elections and they will not forget! So we will see a lot of Senators and SuperDelegates now in Office losing their Elections in the Future! Like they say, "Out with the Old Ways"!

The only poll that counts is the one taken next Tuesday.

May the best man or woman win.

To the RNC: Mid-east Arabs watching Obama closely says it all. Houston, we have a problem.

The people of TX and Ohio HAVE to vote for Barack Obama or else they will divide our party and make it next to impossible to win in Nov. If Obama loses, his supporters WILL NOT VOTE for Hillary Clinton. This is why he needs to win.

Do the right thing Texans and lets wrap this race up.

As watch the intensity of the race, I have noticed that Hillary is becoming more and more hostile, angry, bitter, and THE EXPERT on all of the issues the face our country today. Her opinions and thoughts are not and have to be always right, and others like Senator Obama are making a stance and letting her know that he understands the problems and that he has may be a better solution to our problems. Hillary has resorted to name calling, bad jokes, and our right undignified as a Presidential cadidate. Obama is poised and at this point is beyond her childish antics!

OBAMA (2008)........................................OBAMA (2008)...........................

I have been a long time Democrat all my life and I am 60 years old now. However, if the Democrats choose to nominate Barack Obama then I will vote McCain in November. How can we be so blinded to the fact that this is a left-wing coup involving the press (MSNBC, CNN, ABC....) and the most liberal part of the party? You CANNOT win the general election with a coalition like that. This PRESS has been a great diservice to the American people as they never did the job that they should have been done: talk about the issues and stop being so biaised versus the Clintons. The democrats have a short memory and already forgot the good times of the 90s. True we need change but not the kind of fairy tale change that Mr. Obama has been talking about. So much manipulation that you would think yourself as being in a 3rd world country. If Obama becomes President,God forbids, then like Rome this would be the beginning of the end of the US as a Superpower. There are so much at stakes in this election that we cannot take the chance with Obama.....There is so much we don't know about him and the Press does not seem to bother. It is like buying a house without checking whether or not the foundation is solid. I don't have any doubts that Texas and Ohio will give the American people a chance to continue the vetting of Barack Obama. We must let the process plays out.....We cannot afford a islamic-socialist type of regime in our country. Oh God bless us!

Well– only 4 more days for CNN/s Wolf Blitzer and McCafferty to do their best to defeat Hillary. All other TV stations have heavily carried the stories of Obama's church of 20 years, Trinity United Church of Christ and the fact that the church declared Farrakan as their Person of the Month. Very shortly several pictures will appear with Obama and Farrakan that will scare the hell out of many voters.

However, nothing, even murder would change Wolf's mind. He is a devious person who needs to be off the TV so we can hear unbiased news.

It was no coincidence that the day following the debate, the negative news began to surface on Obama. Wolf, everyone knows you are planning to do Obama in as soon as you finish off Hillary. You need a lot of prayers.

It's all a plot by the right-wing repubs. There's nothing wrong with his middle name, did anyone know that McCain's middle name is Sidney?

"Sen. Clinton is holding her own in Texas, despite the perceived momentum of Sen. Obama.- James Smith

How is Hillary holding her own? She used to be way ahead in Texas.

You can only get through moderation, if you say that you arent going to get through moderation. so let me try again.

The first argument you have is about the value of the dollar. Hillary wants to freeze interest rates. Our dollar is connected to interest rates. This would cause our dollar to drop and inflation to rise. Which candidate is really good for the economy.

They said Hillary must go to every city/town/county in New York to win her Senate seat. She did. They said Hillary must win New Hampshire to stay in the race. She did. They said Hillary must win the big states on Super Tuesday. She did. They say she must win Ohio and Texas. She will. Why? Because she must.

Putting Clinton or McCain in the White House is a continuation of the "same old politics." People forget that when the Clintons left office in 2000 this country was so depressed and demoralized over the Clintons' antics that they elected both a Republican President and a Republican Congress. Do we want more of that? As for McCain, he is a continuation of Bush's policies. Let's try something new and fresh and elect Barry Obama!

Oh yeah, about the War... You can't blame her for voting five years ago for the War. It's easy to see, looking back, that she was mislead just like the rest of us. It's not so much that Obama voted not to support the War, it's that he couldn't vote! This guys has been campaining for President since he got elected Senator! He's right, he didn't vote for the War, he just stood idly by and let everyone else take the political risk and the blame. Now he beats his chest saying "I didn't vote FOR the War". If you think back to the days after 911, we were all out to kick @ss.

Look obama is not the right one for pres. There is something shady going on there and i mean this by the debates and the press. It is like they are all trying to push clinton out and obama in. they always start with her and he just agrees and than ads on words he knows people are desperate to hear. and than they are in a frenzy. Its like his campaine is all about giving hope but no info on what he will deliver.I really don't think he can. HIllary knows what she will do and puts it out there for all to see in her own words. She has a real plan, and not just adding on to someone else's.

Today, a couple more super delegates announced they are going to Obama. Including another one defecting from Hillary.

The party leaders have finally realized they can not afford to have this fight go on past Tuesday. They realize the Republicans have been gaining momentum. Watching Obama win 11 elections in a row and now be attacked by Clinton and the entire Republican party is making the party look bad.

If the Democrats want to win in the fall, they can not let this continue past Tuesday.

I was just kidding...I hate Clinton

I am a college student in Texas. As I write this, I'm at the library on campus where outside, a huge rally is taking place on behalf of Hillary Clinton, sponsored no doubt, by her campaign. I've noticed a lot more Barack advertising on the television, but Hillary seems to be fighting back–hard.I don't buy this "momentum" swing that the major media is reporting. It seems like an all out brawl here right now with no clear winner in sight. I'm glad that CNN isn't only reporting on the successes of one campaign over the other and acknowledging the truth. BTW- Where is McCain? Just because he is getting a free ride for the nomination doesn't mean he should alienate voters who are watching the political race now. Republicans are getting very caught up in the democratic primary– and he may lose a lot of support due to this large amount of attention. Oh. And I'm not decided either way- Republican OR Democrat; or Obama OR Hillary. I'm still feeling pretty neutral.

HILLARY SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE TOLL ROADS THAT ARE TRYING TO BE PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS IN TEXAS.

IT IS A TOLL ROAD FROM MEXICO TO CANADA FOR NAFTA.

THE HOLE COUNTRY WILL PROFIT BUT WHY SHOULD THE TAXPAYERS OF TEXAS HAVE TO SUPPORT THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

Wow since yesterday I have seen growing support for Senator Clinton and I am exicted about it. She is the best candiate by far and I am glad people are starting to notice "Experience does matter". We can not afford another 4 years of an inexperienced Commander and Chief. I hope this is the begging of something positive for Hillary. We trust in you Hilllary and Texas does belive in you and your message.

GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY
GO HILLARY

No surprise because of the cross over voters.
GOP woll vote for Obama to win.
They don't want Clinton.
Smart move.

Those numbers just prove people are starting to wake and see Barack for the fraud he is! Still people are coming in defense of him in droves like zombies. Doesn't feel good Obama supporters when your boy's on the front seat of the bashing bus like Senator Clinton has been this whole time. Well sit back, get your bag of Orval Rhetoricbacher and enjoy because theres gonna be more where that came from. If you were smart you'd give your vote for Hillary. At least she wont have a friendly tea and cracker sit down with the President of Iran who wants to blow Isreal off the face of the map or cut our defense fund eeww wont the terrorists just love that or how about giving drivers license's to illegals yeh I bet they'll smile pritty for the picture. WAKE UP research where this man stands on the issues not whether he's wearing boxers or briefs before giving him your vote. Im a democrat but if he gets the nom i'll vote for Mccain i'm not gonna have his disasterous presidency on my conscience, but until then GO HILLARY!

All of this talk about Senator Obama's lack of foreign policy experience is way overblown, especially when it is coming from Senator Clinton.

Exactly what foreign policy experience did Bill Clinton get from being the Governor of Arkansas? It seems like he did pretty well as President when it came to foreign policy.

It matters more than anything who the Presidents surrounds themselves with as their advisers and Cabinet members.

Hillary's problem in Texas will be that we TEXANS are voting for Senator Obama!

Obama – the only candidate with wisdom and integrity

O8BAMA – Yes we can! Si se puede!

People seem to be missing the point. It is not about what his middle name is but how certain people in the Republican Party want to link it to evil men or groups in the world. That is the severe misrepresentation of the facts that most logical people want to avoid. I think the use of his middle name is no big deal but the fact is that his middle name will be used as a fear tactic to link him in some foolish way to the evil people of our time. This is a tactic, sadly, that works against the less educated or “out there” goofballs. This brings me to another ridiculous thing I have witnessed lately. I consider myself to be an independent here in Ohio, and this year I will be voting democrat, not because of McCain. Although I disagree with a fair amount of his views, but mainly because I do not trust the Republican Party with the hopes and needs of the American people at this time in our history. What gives me a headache are the people that say that if Hillary does not get the nomination they are voting for McCain or those that say if Obama does not get the nomination they will vote for McCain. This is ridiculous to me because these people are saying that they would rather give their vote to the candidate that has a completely different policy and plan for this country than what their preferred candidate had just to spite the other nominee. I am in no way telling people how to vote but it is my hope that they would use some common sense and intelligence before doing so. I am posting this here because I couldn't get it posted on the previous article.

I'm a little surprised. I expected Obama to be another percentage point or two ahead in these polls. I've seen how Clinton's campaign's tactics of the past week have turned a lot of people off. She didn't get a clear victory during the debate (and I'm not sure she won it either). Obama managed to deflect all her jabs at thim. I don't know about Ohio, but I suspect Texas will be won by Obama.

Will Obama still be pondering over the votes that everyone cast in Congress regarding Iraq? He's soooo quick to point out that Hillary voted for the "bus in the ditch" as he put it. The real issue is, now that the bus is firmly in the ditch, what are you going to do about it gracefully without having the entire region become an entire hole in the Earth? I bet hardly anything Obama thinks he can actually change IF he were elected President will actually get done. Sure, we all want change, but let's be realistic.

Its amazing how Hillary supporters bemoan the polls, even dismissing them. Yet if the polls showed their candidate ahead they would be thrilled.

The fact is that Obama is gaining, why? Because people want change!

Hillary voted for the war and is as responsible for the mess we are in as is Bush! With ALL of her experience, when she had to make a decision she voted on the wrong side!

Obama offers a new vision, new ideas. He isn't the same-old-Washington-insiders. The fact that Independents vote for him over, Clinton & McCain tells me that we are fed up with politics-as-usual.

I hope Texas, Ohio, Vermont, Rhode Island & PA, will join the rest of the nation in voting for Sen. Obama.

Texas, Ohio, Vermont- the eyes of the world are watching you now.
Speaking as a proud Britain we are desperate for our cousins to ditch the past eight years of despair and embrace a new page in history. You are the change we are all waiting for.
London hopes for Obama to inspire us all across the western world.

I am a FIGHTER, I am a FIGHTER, I am a FIGHTER, I am a FIGHTER, I am a FIGHTER, I am a FIGHTER.... Believe it or not. It is more important to be a WINNER. And it looks like she is not going to be that...

I just read a previous artice saying the RNC is refusing to use Obama's middle name. Why is the world so afraid of offending Obama. He now has the RNC kissing his ring finger. This is the first time in MY adult life I am ashamed of MY country. Why are we still allowing this man to turn us into ZOMBIES???? Wake up!

I am an Obama supporter and these types of attacks are what I expect the republicans to use. I say "bring it on" let's vote state by state and see who this type of appeal works on, if there are more of them than us then McCain should be the next president.

Keep the Faith, Hillary! Don't give up. Not everyone believes in polls. Your strength, conviction, substance and integrity will get you through .

How can you people possibly trust someone with the PRESIDENCY of the United states hwo has so much to hide. I really don't get this.for all of you Hillary followers.. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why she won't release her taxes? Doesn't this concern you? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why she can't manage her campaign financially? and you want her to manage our troubled economy? wow!! Have you ever asked yourself why she can't manage her personel? and you want her to be inthe White house making all types of decisions for us? Are you all on CRACK, BLIND, in DENIAL, or all three? This is truly amazing.

The middle name "Hussein" has never been an issue for Obama. Several years ago, after advice to do so, he refused to change his middle name. The RNC chooses to make an issue out of his name. Barack Obama has never did anything but acknowledge, accept and talk about how proud he is of his multi-racial heritage.
The key here is that, with the misinformation, short-sightedness and ill-informed comments on this blog is that, most people can see the pretext, subtext and context in which his rivals use his name. The undertones of racial hostility to Muslims and our intolerance of any other religion besides Christianity is what drives this fear-mongering. This is why Mitt Romney could never win the Presidency. Sadly, the RNC is using this precedent to continue to shed light on Obama's middle name.

SH I agree with you. I think Senator Cliinton will be the best candidate for pres.

EVERYONE, PLEASE VOTE, and MOST OF ALL THINK FOR
YOURSELF. DO NOT LET THE MOMENTUM NOR THE POLLS
MAKE YOUR DECISION FOR YOU.

Its amazing how Hillary supporter bemoan the polls, even dismissing them. Yet if the polls showed their candidate ahead they would be thrilled.

Its in your hands Texas and Ohio – Voters know that Hillary can deliver good things for our Country. If you want our economy to turn around – then you need to give her your vote. Nobody is perfect, but she knows how to get things done and she will work harder than any other candidate will to make good on her promises. She is also very experienced in foreign affairs – we need someone now more than ever to try and mend our image with other countries -but at the same time be super smart when it comes to protecting Americans.

Hillary is the ONE

Cali Guy:

The people of Texas and Ohio are not so shallow as to vote against someone because of their name. This is the Democratic party that stands for tolerance isn't it?

And it is the RNC who has decided not to use Obama's middle name. (He has not asked anyone to refrain from using it. He is not ashamed of his name and he has no reason to be.) Though it does appear at this point that the RNC may be more tolerant than the Democratic party.

All the LATEST polls in Texas show Obama with a 4 or 5 point lead.

Wake up, people, the Clinton campaign is falling apart! The Obama train is coming!

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!

I AM WITH (SHE IS A FIGHTER ) ABOVE!

WELL SAID! I HOPE THAT TEXAS AND OHIO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE!

THIS IS NOT A VOTE FOR AMERICAN IDOL!

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS !AND WE NEED A SERIOUS AND INTELLIGENT PERSON TO DO THE JOB!

MY VOTE IS FOR SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!

IF OUR DOLLAR WAS WEAK WHY WOULD OTHER COUNTRIES IN DESPAIR WANT OUR HELP. GO BACK TO THE TREASURY BOOKS AND LOOK: "THE AMERICAN DOLLAR IS STILL STRONG AND STILL GOING LIKE THE ENERGIZER BUNNY"

Why won't Hillary release her tax returns? If the roles were reversed you don't think she wouldn't be saying "What does Barack have to hide??". All of you Hillary supporters need to ask yourself this question. If it were "YOU" running ahd this question came up. Isn't the ONLY reason you would not want to disclose it is you felt there was something there that could cause problems? I was once a person who felt Hillary could bring change..BUT isn't this the same old runaround we always get?? When Hillary challenged Barack about his subcommittee not having meetings, he didn't hedge or hesitate. He simply put it out there" I been running for President." And while you may not like the answer..At least it was direct and honest. Hillary does not possess this quality. The old -school politics is embedded in her. Americans are REALLY tired of this.

Change through Experience, lol why are people so worried anyway???
i mean Hillary will take Texas and Ohio, take back the lead and on towards the nomination.

Obama is pretty good, but his voters are just to dang extreme. lol they remind me of Ralph Nader's voters in 200....they go after ANYONE who doesnt submit to his message.

lol My god, Obama isnt the only candidate and he vertainly isnt right on most issue, nor is Clinton but i trust Clinton because i know she'll do this country justice within the first 100 days and try to influence the Free Market to make the Dollar Strong again for my family and the rest of the country.

As for the War will, lol i dont think either of those two knuckle head on the Democratic side know what their talking about, but as a Marine Corps Veteran, the Iraq War will play out on its own Merit whether the next president will be a Republican or Democrat because its the President who listens to the adivce my brothers and sister on the ground over there...not the other way around

Go Hillary!!!!!!

IT'S HIS MIDDLE NAME. THIS CRAP THAT YOU CANNOT SAY ANYTHING NOT NICE BECAUSE THE GUY IS BLACK IS PRESIDENTIAL AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. PAR FOR THE COURSE.

Hillary is a total liar and hypocrite. She WELCOMED the endorsement of that anti-Jewish group in New York until it became politically untenable to do so. WHAT A PHONY!

And her chief strategist Mark Penn is a UNION BUSTER!

We can't keep sending the same people back to the Presidency and expect different results.

Wake up people! And Barack Obama has more REAL experience than Hillary does anyway. He was putting food on the table of working folks in Chicage while she was a CORPORATE LAWYER FOR FREAKING WALMART!

Hillary Clinton, Oct 10th, 2002:
"...any vote that may lead to war should be hard - but I cast it with conviction.

And perhaps my decision is influenced by my eight years of experience on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House watching my husband deal with serious challenges to our nation. "

Hillary Clinton? WRONG EXPERIENCE, WRONG CANDIDATE, WRONG TIME.

In a Texas poll released TODAY, shows Senator Hillary Clinton with a commanding 41 point lead over Senator Barack Obama among Hispanics

A new Latino Decisions Texas Poll found that Hillary leads her opponent among registered Latino voters in Texas 62% to 21%, with 15% undecided.

It's funny because CNN keep mentioning how Hillary is losing her Latino support but apparently this does not reflect this NEW poll at all.

GO HILLARY CLINTON

I would very much like to see a debate between the remaining Republican candidates. John McCain does not have the nomination wrapped up and it disenfranchises voters when we are told we must rally around the presumptive candidate. It is a disservice to the other candidates that they are expected to drop out of the race at this point.

Mike Huckabee has won primaries and caucuses in states that Republicans must win to take the national election and was second by the narrowest of margins in South Carolina, Missouri, Washington and Oklahoma. Governor Huckabee would most likely have won SC by an overwhelming margin but for the presence of Fred Thompson, who dropped out the next day. More people have voted against Senator McCain than those who have voted for him. That is telling. The voters deserve to be allowed to make their own choice without pressure from the national party or from the media.

Let the debate happen!

For people saying that Clinton will be stronger on the economy than Obama, just take a look at their campaign's please. If Hillary has as much trouble managing our economy as she does with managing her campaign's money, then we're in trouble.

Obama might not have experience, but he knows how to surround himself with people that do have the experience. He is sure to do that when he is elected.

Cnn seems to be on Hillarys side, probably won't print this but Barack H. Obama Is the right guy at the right time. Barack we know your fighting for us and we'll keep on supporting you. Obama 08 yes we are.

I just read that Politico is reporting Hillary is estimated to have raised $35 million in February of 2008. Can anybody confirm this? I have also heard the number was more like $24 million.
