 Clinton and Obama are locked in tight races in Ohio and Texas.
Clinton and Obama are locked in tight races in Ohio and Texas.

(CNN) Barack Obama holds a slight edge in Texas while Hillary Clinton is on top in Ohio, according to a CNN average of several recent polls out of two crucial March 4 primary states.

An average of five recent surveys out of Texas show Obama edging Clinton by 2 percentage points there, 47 to 45 percent. The so called “poll of polls” also shows 8 percent of likely Texas Democrats remain unsure of who to vote for.

Clinton is 5 points ahead of Obama in Ohio, according to CNN's average of six recent polls there, 48-43 percent. Nine percent of likely Ohio Democrats remain unsure.

Voters in Texas and Ohio will be joined by those in Vermont and Rhode Island Tuesday in what Clinton supporters admit is a critical test of strength for the New York Democrat following Obama's 11 straight wins.

The Texas average consists of surveys from Reuters/C-SPAN/Houston Chronicle/Zogby (Feb 29-March 2), Belo/Public Strategies (Feb 27-March 1), American Research Group (Feb 29-March 1), MSNBC/McClatchy/Ft. Worth Star-Telegram/Mason-Dixon (Feb 27-29), and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (Feb 26-28).

The Ohio average consists of surveys from Reuters/CSPAN/Houston Chronicle/Zogby (Feb 29-March 2), Quinnipiac (Feb 27-March 2), University of Cincinnati "Ohio Poll" (Feb 28-March 2), American Research Group (Feb 29-March 1), Cleveland Plain Dealer/Mason-Dixon (Feb 27-29), and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (Feb 26-28).

I cant wait to vote early tomorrow morning and at 7pm tomorrow evening!!!

OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

robert mckinley   March 3rd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

I don't get it.

After putting up with 7 years of fear messaging and negative advertising Hillary is heading down the same path as George Bush and the GOP.

What is she thinking?

Doesn't she know most Americans had had it with this approach.

No more negativism. If you can't communicate with positive messages…get out of the race!

Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Go Hillary. We're here right beside you. We are all here supporting you all the way in this race. You will never know how much support are out here….keep up the good fight! Hillary 2008

Kelly Anne   March 3rd, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Bye bye Hillary!!!!!!!!

Drop out on March 5th.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ForClintonSupporters   March 3rd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

I'm starting to think that Hillary is just like G. W. Bush and the Iraq money pit. Doesn't know when it's time to call it quits.

Now that is definitely not the type of change this country needs.

My vote is for Obama.

Chuck in Oregon   March 3rd, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Wolf, No matter how you spin it, Hillary Clinton "MUST win all the way through Penn with wide margins to eliminate Obama's lead. I just DO NOT see that happening. I played your remainging delegate game. With a draw she still looses in the long run. Gaining no ground this super Tuesday is see no real hope remaining, there are too many states left that would widen the gap that already exists.

LOVE U HILLARY   March 3rd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

HILLARY WILL WIN AND OBAMA CAN BE HER VP!

harry K   March 3rd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

On this picture Obama is looking as though he is high!!!

doug   March 3rd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I did the math, numbers are what counts. Just ca'nt see how Clinton can win. It's mathematically not possible, not without some tremendous landslides which are'nt likely to happen .

Mish   March 3rd, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I can tell you as a Canadian that most of us are rooting for
*OBAMA 08*
I know of no fellow Canadians who are in hillarys camp
OBAMA is the only candidate who can bring real change in washington
some one with fresh vision who is untouched by the elite corporate
washington and lobbyists
We have no control over our media, Blame Canada, but I can tell you
there are thousands of Canadians rooting for *OBAMA 08*
they often take polls on it up here to see how we feel about your election
*OBAMA 08*

from Boston   March 3rd, 2008 2:14 pm ET

How come CNN won't allow comments on the story about the fiasco with Obama and the Canadian government? Why is the Obama campaign discussing ANYTHING with a foreign government, especially about campaign promises to the American people that are really not true. Let's expose Obama for what he is – a fraud.

Election Watcher   March 3rd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Anyway with such a tough fight in Democrats , I think its Advantage Republicans in 08.

Jeff Radun   March 3rd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Obama says during the Ohio debate he would redo Nafta then tells the Canadians he was only saying that for votes.
CHANGE YOU CAN BELEIVE IN.
Go Hillary

Obama gave a great speech about how it was wrong to go after Alqada in Iraq and we should have gone after them in Afganistan yet when he is appointed to chair a commity on the fight in Afganistan he accepts the post and does nothing because he is to busy running for President
CHANGE YOU CAN BELEIVE IN
Go Hillary

Obama works for Kerry in his run for president and says he is not sure how he would have voted if he would have been in the senate at the time of the vote for the war in Iraq.
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIVE IN
Go Hillary

ohio3/4   March 3rd, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Obama will not be getting my vote.
He has not once told me any specifics.
I really think he has no clue how to run this country.
Clinton or McCain for me.
Obama go back to your job that you've been neglecting
and learn from it for about 10 more years–then maybe i'll vote
for you.
You are too inexperienced right now.

leelee   March 3rd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

politician raise race issues every time they campaign. It is the old game of divid and conquer.

JC-Riverview, FL   March 3rd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

You know..I am an Obama supporter and I am starting to feel a bit irate.
Why hold it against a candidate that connects with people? I mean shouldn't credit be given? He has consistently stated his views over the 20 debates, which are actually pretty close to HRC's. So why the hate? Because he is popular? Because he is a good speaker, which by the way should be the core ability of any politician. I know it's not because he is black, right?

i just don't get it.

I can live with the outcome if Hilary wins. I like her..I just prefer Barack.

However, If John McCain wins…I will consider moving out of America.

jll   March 3rd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Obama's HOPE

H-igher taxes
O-ver regulated
P-artisan politics
E-ntreprneurs disappear

Wayne   March 3rd, 2008 2:12 pm ET

This is WHY people hate the Clintons…her only hope of winning is to employ the smear tactics Democrats claim to hate when they come from Republicans. Neither of them have a shred of soul or decency, just a raw lust for power.
Face it, the young people who work so hard for Obama will go back to being disenfranchised. Men will go to Mc Cain. And African Americans will rightly distain that theyve been bait and switch cheated by Democrats who take their vote for granted…AGAIN.
Hillary is a great way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Margarita   March 3rd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

These two guys are neck to neck. I guess that means not everybody hates Hillary. If he is the Chosen One, why hasn't he arrived to the 2025 already?

Charles   March 3rd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Hillary is a pathological liar who will do or say anything to accomplish her goal, which is to implement a socialist, central planning beaurocracy to dicate policy on health care, entitlement programs, business, trade, and other social and economic programs. It is the ultimate in arrogance – let me tell you what to do and I will take care of you with European style social security paid for by increased taxes. Why do you suppose that Hillary's biggest support base is people with income under $50,000 and women who will vote based solely on gender with a blind eye to Hillary's morals, which are non-existent?

I hope Obama sends her packing on Tuesday.

Hey moderators, why don't you let this one through instead of filtering out much of the anti-Hillary comments? Try to be objective.

fred   March 3rd, 2008 2:11 pm ET

JM, if Obama gets the nomination there are a lot more Democrats that will be voting for McCain.

Go Hillary!!

Vince   March 3rd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I find myself a bit down today. The polls in Ohio are not going in Senator Obama's favor, and any win Senator Clinton gets will be spun by the media and her campaign as evidence of Senator Clinton's great comeback. Despite the fact that she was leading here bu 20 points just a couple of weeks ago.

I will go vote for Senator Obama tomorrow, and I have convinced many of my friends to do the same, this will be the first Democrat I have supported since 1980.

If Senator Clinton does become the Democratic nominee I will not be able to vote for her. Although I agree with her on many issues, I find her political style and leadership skills deplorable. I think she represents a political style that does more to hurt our country and our progress than it does to help it. We cannot move this country forward unless we learn to work together, Senator Clinton is such a polarizing figure (much like President Bush) I just don't envision how she can create a broad coalition to address the real issues of the day.

If Senator Clinton wins tommorrow, somehow manages to win the nomination, and win the White House it will confirm some of my worst fears about this country. It will confirm that we have not learned anything in the last 15 years. That we have become so politically illiterate that we will elect people simply based on their label and their brand, and not their character!

Rick, Maryland   March 3rd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

When you read aboutwhy black Super Delegates like John Lewis and
Kevin Conwell switching there support from Hillery Clinton because
they want to be on the right side of history and other black delegates
like Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubb's Jone's and California Rep. Diane
Watson because what Jone's say's call's loyalty and integrity, this
really tell's me something about the people backing Hillery Clinton., especially after Tubb's Jone's recieved
threatening E-MAil's trying to scare her into switching sides.
I hate to see what's going to happen if Obama doesn't get the nomination, there arn't that many National Guard left in the states to
handle that.

Chester   March 3rd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I feel the Republicans already know who their candidate is and there for going to the Democratic Primaries and voting fo Obama to knock
Hillary out of the running. They are really scared she will beat McCain. If Obama gets the nomination, we will really see some very nasty Republican attacks against him that will cause McCain to win.
The Republicans have already tried dirty nasty tricks to stop Hillary, especially Sean Hannity with all of his two faced, backstabbing lies that he does everyday . Sean knows if Hillary is the candidate, she will WIN. HILLARY NEEDS to win to stop this extreme Right Wing from winning and taking what rights we have left away from us.
GO HILLARY! WE NEED YOU!

derry   March 3rd, 2008 2:10 pm ET

This whole blog was Pro-Obama. I guess the moderators are too. My post aren't being posted. Where is you rmanager?
Are YOU being fair to the American public who want to get involved and stay informed.

Hillary Rodham Clinton for President '08

De La Cruz for OBAMA   March 3rd, 2008 2:09 pm ET

HILLARY IS A FIGHTER FOR WHAT SHE WANTS, NOT FOR US. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE CALLS HERSELF A CHAMPION AND A FIGHTER. SHE HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR NO GROUP, EXCEPT HERSELF. A VOTE FOR HER IS A VOTE FOR LOBBYISTS.
DON'T BELIEVE ME. GOOGLE HER, MCCAIN AND OBAMA.

D   March 3rd, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Google Obama and find no track record of significance. Yes we want change but Obama can seam to give an answer other then he was opposed to the war in Iraq. Hello, is that the only issue he has an opinion on? He is not answering the questions, he has no plan, and he is just an empty shell. We have had that for 8 years, time to guarantee change, time to vote for Hillary.

Cesar Poveda   March 3rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

CNN, why you do not stop trying to convince people that Obama is the perfect candidate?. All you do is putting Hillary down, you are the most dirty and unprofessional team I have ever seen in my life. When Hilarry is ahead in the polls you always say that it is the margin of error, but when Obama is ahead you totally dismiss Hillary.

Hillary is ahead in Ohio for more than 10 points and in texas she is ahead, however they do not poll in spanish where she has amazing support, so she is way ahead in Texas…..

jonas   March 3rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

what ever all you voters do, dont vote for John McCain! in one of his speach, he where singing "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran, and he also said that he would let the US. troops stay in Iraq for over 100 years if that would be necessary. This man is mad, and if you dont want that soldiers from the US. shall be killed every day, for no good reason dont vote for this man. There was no al quida in Iraq before the republicans invaded the country. Long live the democrats!

AJ   March 3rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Cool, so the first time young voters are interested in an election in a long time, we supported the dreamer who can't do anything because he hasn't been corrupted in D.C. long enough.

If you want to quash Obama's campaign, go for it, it is a democracy after all. Just don't complain when young people don't care about this in November because you picked the same tired Washington types.

Vote Obama

Strand from IL   March 3rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Under a Clinton Presidency, if Hillary is watching over the country, who is going to watch over Bill?

Obama — the right choice!

leelee   March 3rd, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Hillary and bill bring up race issues. after all obama is of both races. so what race are you talking about?

Audrey   March 3rd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Hillary all the way!!!

Sen. Obama is so desperate to divert attention from his limited national security experience that he's not just misleading voters about Sen. Clinton, he's also misleading voters about his own supporters. That is not change you can believe in."

Last Sunday, Sen. Obama attacked Hillary on Iraq by invoking Sen. Rockefeller and incorrectly saying that the WVA Senator opposed the 2002 Iraq vote. The truth is that Sen. Rockefeller voted for the war resolution – not against it as Sen. Obama suggested to the people of Ohio. This seems to be an Obama campaign talking point since its top strategist also claimed that Sen. Rockefeller voted against the war resolution when he was on national television on Sunday.

O/08   March 3rd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Gary, go ahead and be a Clinton supporter (I used to be) and help McCain; but at least try to be grammatically correct when you spew your hate for Obama and his supporters.

From Gary:
"You Obama voters will regret it if he makes office… We will have the worst civil war this country ever seen. You want change you will get it ,but not what your expecting… You Americans decided to vote in a canadate with nothing to show but a big mouth. He will sell us out like hes buying you voters…"

Mike   March 3rd, 2008 2:07 pm ET

It is getting too close for Obama after it was revealed he is doing his own private NAFTA deals with Canada and he isnt even president yet. Maybe this is why he has been playing the theme music for Shaft at his rallies. He is getting ready to shaft the unions and Ohio.

ADAMS   March 3rd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY KERRY IS FLAPPING HIS PIE HOLE FOR OBAMA, WHEN HILLARY TOOK MA. BY A LAND SLIDE?

MABY KERRY SHOULD RUN FOR THE SEN. IN A STATE THAT SHARES HIS VIEWS!

Simon   March 3rd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Are we in a Monarchy? It started with the BUSHES and now America wants the Clinton too? This is not possible. I have never seen a set of dump people like some in this country who are advocating for Hilary's success to become the next President. I am very shocked. What type of experience is Hillary claiming to have? Was she the former President of the United States or her husband Bill. It is high time we thought about this issue. Hillary has no experience whatsoever. She is a bully. Obama is the right choice to turn a new page in this country. GO OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

senu Sirnivas   March 3rd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Hillary can't even organize her own campaign and she want to run the country. Her only goal is to win at all cost. She blames everyone around her for her own inadequacies and mistakes, and this is what she will bring to the White House, blame everyone else when things do go wrong. We saw a glimpse of that in the last debate, where she blamed Al Gore for not becoming the President when she couldn't deliver the jobs she promised to the people of Buffalo, NY. If she is the nominee, McCain will be our next president … most of the new voters will either not vote or vote for Ralph Nader.

Margarita   March 3rd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Obama people, grow-up!!!!! If he can't stand the heat, get him out of the kitchen. We need tough not Shakespeare.

Jen   March 3rd, 2008 2:06 pm ET

GO Obama! I voted for you already and all my friends are tomorrow! Time to turn a new page…end the Bush-Clinton Era!

david   March 3rd, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Hillary doesn't need to be desperate with him talking out of both sides of his mouth on NAFTA in Ohio (I agree with Hillary) and then saying ti was all "rhetoric" when he got to Canada and they wanted to hear something else. Clue number people….he doesn't back his word will tell you any dream you want to hear to get elected.

WE GOT YOUR BACK HILLARY.

HILLARY ROCKS!!!!!

TEXAS FOR HILLARY!!!!

breh / California   March 3rd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Pure desperation and mean spiritness is what you're witnessing from Hillary…bringing the party together? Yea, right…she has no concept of what unity is…her negativity is further proof that she'll say for do anything to win. As for the 3:00 am call, she has no experience and the call was probably for Bill !

OBAMA 08!

Jack   March 3rd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Hey D Campbell….you write Republicans hate the Clintons but like Obama. Are you that naive? Do you REALLY think republicans are going to vote for Obama and basicly reject everything they believe in just because it's Obama? Get real! He's ranked the most liberal Senator in the Senate even beating out Senator Kennedy. Obama fans are naive, irresponsible and not paying attention to the issues and what their candidate truly believes in.

SR   March 3rd, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Closely watching, don't appeal to me on the basis of gender and think that gives me any solidarity with you. "Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less."

barbara santarelli   March 3rd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Is it my imagination or does the photo accompanying this story
depict Obama 4 shades of skin darker and his expression quite
"dull"?
If so, shame on you Hillary…The voters are more evolved than this…
It is not about costumes, skin color or scare tactics this time around!

Kim   March 3rd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Canadians for Clinton; Obama finally exposed on NAFTA – just to get votes. Shame on you Obama!

qlinderman   March 3rd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

OBAMA IN 08 !!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! OBAMA08!!!!

Jane, Maryland   March 3rd, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Lets see if CNN will hold this post YET again!!!

I don't understand why people's memory about the Clintons are short.

McCain will McSweep Hillary. Republicans will vote for him, all independents will vote for him, so will a lot of Democrats who are fed up with Hillary's dirty tactics.

By the way, the Republican's ad will just be a replay of Bill Clinton poking his finger in the camera saying " I did not have s…..l relations with that woman" And that will seal the deal. Another 8 years of Republicans.

Californian   March 3rd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Obama is SMART in fact v v SMART(smarter than my post-doc professor at Harvard)

Obama is young and DYNAMIC

Obama is NOT AGGRESSIVE

Obama brings "HOPE" (OTHERS DON'T!!!!)

Obama would quell RACISM (Others count on Race/conservative votes)

Obama NEVER resorts to CHEAP POLITICAL TACTICS like Hillary and McCain

Obama shows clear HUMANITARIAN touch and Resolve of the highest standards.

We DESPARATELY need a cool MINDED person of v high intellect to take us out of the current MUCK – Obama '08

Obama is MOST popular among EDUCATED and SANE

We Americans are lucky to have Obama as our candidate option.

Go OBAMA go…SANE IN AMERICA ARE ALL WITH YOU !!!!!!!

Sheila in MD   March 3rd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

For all of you Ohians who bought into Hilliary's foreclosure bit (the 90-day moratorium ) it's at least 9 mos to 1 year away…so if you are in the midst of foreclosing her plan won't help. In addition, Hilliary is great at dividing people…she will divide the entire country just to reach her political goals "the Latinos will vote for me". She's another good-ole boy type. While I believe she can do a good job she is more of the same. She's already a multimillionaire like lost of the others is congress. Just think it's time her kind step aside for so the country can try something different.

For those who think she's so "good on terror" several of New York's monuments were bombed during the Clinton administration and 9/11 was already in the making. She should take credit for not keeping us safe while she was first lady.

She continues to cited her credentials but I can't she where she's actually acomplished anything. What jobs have she created while in the senate…what are the foreign policies she is responsible for…What trade agreements a part from NAFTA is she responsible. I hear her rhetoric but show me her results?

Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Why is CNN not include the Sulfolk's poll out today showing that Hillary is 52 and Obama 40. Hillary surged by 7 points while Obama retreated by 7. Where's all the surging talk about Hillary…….oh that's right…surging positive talk are reserved for men only on CNN.

Dee   March 3rd, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Folks,

I dont know about you but that woman has not handled herself well in any of the debates. Just remember her snarls and repugnant looks when she is questioned. Is that the person you want calling the shots for this country? I know I don't, she always looks like she is going to blow her lid and make a decision we will all regret. I want a clear thinking precise individual who shows character and embodies the change necessary to get all the broke fake Repubulicans and short sighted Democrats to a bright new economy. Restore jobs that were taken from this horrible administration by president who stole not 1 but 2 elections. IT IS TRULY TIME FOR CHANGE!! GO OBAMA!!!!
OBAMA… OBAMA… OBAMA!!!!

My name is Barack Obama, President of US, just want to let american people know that I did not vote for the war in Iraq, so I am not responsible for the troops in Iraq. The troops can find their back to the US if they want.

Vote For Hillary 08

Eli   March 3rd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

With Obamas affiliation with Louis Farrakhan, no matter how direct or indirect, thru his church(which he has attended over 20 years) and pastor(same one for over 20 years) he is not to be trusted. Ofcourse some say you dont believe everything your pastor does, YES YOU DO, if you sit under his teaching and you tithe him you agree with him. I think that is why OPRAH has sit out for a few weeks, she does not want to be tied to this. WHERE IS OPRAH??? SINCE CNN SLANTS THEIR STORIES THIS WANT MAKE IT TO COMMENT. CNN JUST TELL THE NEWS!!!!

kd   March 3rd, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Sarah King – Obama said in 2004 that he would not seek the office of president. This was said on Oprah's show and a few others. He would support Hillary Clinton.

kb from iowa   March 3rd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I've heard this 'rather go to an experienced doctor than an unexperienced' as an arguement to vote for clinton. No one has experience being a president, unless he is running for a second term, so that's a dumb arguement. Here's a different way of looking at the experience question: If your company was failing, and you needed to hire a new CEO, would you hire someone internally that has been part of the problem of failure, or would you try to find someone from outside with fresh ideas to try to turn things around?

Lulu   March 3rd, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Obama's the man. Out next President of the U.S. that will move this country forward. He's FOR THE PEOPLE whereas his running mates are for playing politicals. Come on Barack–whip some butt. I back you all the way!

Tim   March 3rd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Remember the polls for Wisconsin were extremely close leading up to election night and Obama ended up winning by 17 points. The polling data this election cycle seems to be pretty off so far.

Rose   March 3rd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

We need experience in the White House. Our problems are too large to hire a rookie. We've just finished 8 years with an inexperienced President. Let's not repeat our mistakes.
I’m absolutely terrified about Obama’s inability to handle National he lacks experience and has no depth of knowledge on National Security and military issues.
He is just a good talker. we can not vote a person we even do not know him.

Vote Hillary Clinton.

Mel   March 3rd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

How much more experience than Obama did Reagan, Kennedy, or Clinton have when they got elected? Ultimately, Obama is a brilliant intellectual, and I resent the fact that his eloquence actually gets held against him.

Donna   March 3rd, 2008 1:58 pm ET

TEXAS and OHIO, let's bring Hillary to the convention as our democratic nominee! VOTE HILLARY CLINTON!!

Marlene   March 3rd, 2008 1:57 pm ET

What she wouldn't do to win…..People are still shocked by the 60 Minutes answers she gave…She can go negative all she wants, it doesn't matter. It's over.

VoteIsLikeStock   March 3rd, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Voting in America is like buying stock on Wall st. You hope stock goes up, but it going down, because Media is manipulating stock. So what we got on voting. Al Gore, a Nobel winner, lost to media-favored Bush. Who's fault? American Voters? Voting System? or Media? Now we have it again. Hillary is going to lose to Obama. Will it be another fault? Hope not. But if it is, who's fault again? Voters need to think yourself for yourself.

Dem   March 3rd, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Hopefully the people of Ohio will realize what a whiner Hillary is and give her the boot. McCain, Clinton or Obama do not have the experience to be president. I don't think that anyone does unless they have been in the position. Wake up Ohio and vote with me for Obama.

NYC Native   March 3rd, 2008 1:56 pm ET

For the past 24 years there has been either a Bush or a Clinton in office! We desperately need a change. If Hillary can't keep a poker face during the debates here in the US, how will she conceal her emotions when dealing with foreign leaders? She wears her emotions on her sleeves and she's unstable. Additionally, she won't be running the country her husband will! He gets a third chance to be at the helm.

It's time to be smart. It's time to implement change. It's time to change our nation back to a democratic country and not have it forever ruled by the same families with the same ideals and the same wrong solutions for the many issues that face us today!

Hillary Clinton moved to New York to become President. She served one term as a senator and her second term running for president on everyone's dime from New York. She is too busy to be the New York Senator. If she was not using New York for her own purposes then she should not have run a second term as senator and campaigned for President like so many others.

JB   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Hillary is winning the big blue states or is close there. That means she can win the general election. And it also means Obama can't deliver the goods. And cannot close on a general election. He has won primaries in a ton of red states. That means nothing.

scruff   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Texas, your Bushes have run this great Country right into the ground. You all better pull your heads out of your buts and quit this Obama support idiot wave. He will never win against Mccain. A vote for Obama is like being in Flordia and voting for Nader in 2000. Vote for Clinton or you will be responsible for flushing our Country down the toliet. We will not recover, we can't stand another 4 years of uncontrolled spending, 4 more years of Iraq, 4 more years of shipping our jobs to the slaves in China. We here in California voted for Clinton. Do the right thing and quit being stupid. You wont be able to come to California after you lose your houses and your farms if the Republicans win again. There won't be any room. We will have to many illegals here courtesy of the chamber of commerce trying to take our jobs. Remember were not a right to work state here.

democracynow2008   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Not only is the lead Senator Clinton has become signal digits but it will lower within 24 hours .
Hillary is desperate now and showing her ugly side publically.
She voted for the resolution on Oct.10th,2002 which allowed president Bush to attack Iraq.
While the good Senator from California Barbara Boxer voted against the resolution.
I am asking the voters in Ohio,R.I. Texas and Vermont to vote on the issues and if your truly fed up with 8 years of failed Bush policy then its time to vote for change not just talk from a Senator who is angry and feels the Whitehouse belongs to the Bushes and Clintons.
Vote not with fear vote with confidence that you will bring change in Washington.
If you believe the lies and attacks that are posting from other Americans on the Internet thats noway to decide which candidate is better.
Deal with the issues when you walk in that voting booth.
I as a Democrat believe Senator Obama is the best American for the job of President of the United States of America.
If your Anti War Vote for Obama if your Pro- War then vote for Clinton.
The choice is clear Obama 2008

Chris   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Go Hillary,

We love you in NYC and will never forget what you have done for us during 911.

Mel   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I guess the exit polls aren't lying when the indicate that poor and dumb people comprise the majority of Hillary's votes. It seems like 90% of the people that type "HILLARY!!!!!!! 08″ at the end of their posts can't write in coherent English. Its actually quite sad/comical.

Obama '08….if people with a college degree are voting in a particular way, perhaps it would behoove those that haven't finished high school to do the same. Just a thought.

jr.   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Democrats don't worry about Hillary loosing against the Republicans the republicans know if they pick jhon mc kain they will have blode in there hands look how our soilgers are dien. For a war that has no ending an the Iraqy peolpe don't whant us there.

Lee   March 3rd, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Obama couldn't even win California, New York, or New Jersey, the states with huge populations. He's supposed to be representative of the nation's Democrats?! Half of the registered Dems live in the states he lost.

And another thing…When Hillary voted for war, her state of New York was just ATTACKED by terrorists. What was she supposed to do, sit back and not avenge this horrific act? At the time, she made a decision based on evidence given to her by the Bush administration. I think a lot of people would've given her hell had she NOT voted that way!

GO HILLARY!

Carly   March 3rd, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Hillary rocks the party like nobody. Hillary's on top! We need real change, not just fluff-stuff.

She will NEVER catch up on delegates. NOT EVER!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!

Susana   March 3rd, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Now, I see that you like OBAMA ONLY.
This is not fair for HILLARY. GO HILLARY GO.
VOTEN FOR HILLARY ONLY

chris   March 3rd, 2008 1:53 pm ET

I've been very impressed with the actual legistlation that Obama has been able to put forth in his time in the Senate. Compared to Hillary's own record which is filled with abysmall failures and huge gaps. I can't support someone that would have voted for this war that is pulling this country apart. She should be ashamed of herself.

Go Obama '08!

Anthony in Florida   March 3rd, 2008 1:53 pm ET

The only difference we will see if B O gets into the White House is that instead of referring to the mistake as "W" we will have a new mistake referred to as "H".

Stop the Hate — Hillary in 08!!!!

derry   March 3rd, 2008 1:53 pm ET

If Obama wins, I will not vote for him let's be honest. Obama is a COPYCAT. He never voted for Iraq because he was not responsible for voting. Three yr. senator. We can do better for this country. If he was in office, he would have voted for the war. How does he separate himself from all the others – talk, talk , talk. He never he attempted to stop the war, he voted for the SURGE!

RT   March 3rd, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Hillary Supporters, Your candidate was supposed to win these states by a LANDSLIDE. She is going to lose Texas and even if she wins Ohio, its going to be by 1-2%. She is not going to make up ANY ground in the delegate count tommorrow. The fact that Obama will most likely win Texas and keep it real close in Ohio speaks volumes about how people are having second thoughts about CLINTON. She was winning by almost 20 percentage points a month ago. However, the Clinton camp is going to spin that they broke Obama's momentum even if they just win Rhode Island tommorrow. That's how they roll.

Go Obama!!!

jonas   March 3rd, 2008 1:52 pm ET

let Obama lead the USA. Hillary Clinton is a good politician, but she should give up, and let Obama fix this, so that the democrats stands stronger against the republicans and John McCain.
Democrats abroad.

Matthew   March 3rd, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Obama keeps trying, but he can't knock a great woman down! Hillary WILL prevail! Hillary WILL be our nominee!

HILLARY ROCKS in 2008!

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 1:52 pm ET

RIGHT MARK…..the problem:

Obama has no history nor EXPERIENCE to represent this country as President of the United States.

HILLARY definitely has my BRAIN! I would rather have knowledge with experience instead of someone that DEPENDS HIS WIN TO BE on the one by chance vote of not going to war and with no Foreign Policy experience….come on, we need to be loved in the world again.

Carol   March 3rd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Closely Watching, we will never get Universal Health Care no matter who is in office. They should just quit talking about it. We can't even fund our countries everyday expenses, because all the money is funding the war. The war where false information was given to the country so everyone would be for this war. I was all for it with the information that was presented. Then the real story came out and we were all dooped. Whats so bad about another Clinton in the White House? Better than someone who is a slick talker. Remember if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

Kim   March 3rd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Re: Do you people really think that reason Obama is getting so many votes is because people are just blindly jumping on the bandwagon, because it's the "in thing"? Did you ever stop and think that maybe, just perhaps, a lot of people are thinking the same way he is? Maybe people really do want something new and different?

Good point AI C. I would add: give every voter the same benefit of the doubt that you give yourself. If you believe that you have the information you need to vote intelligently, perhaps other people do too. That goes for people who vote for Obama, Clinton, and (dare I say it) McCain & Huckabee. We might disagree on who is the best person to lead the country, but that doesn't automatically mean that everyone who disagrees with us is unintelligent and uninformed.

MickyD10   March 3rd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

"To those giving your support to Obama – - please consider the reality of your candidate. He offers words, promises, inspiration, a "young and hip" charisma, but little else. He is nothing more than an empty box w/ a nice bow and card".

Funny really, the very same thing was said about Bill Clinton. And by his own words in his stump speeches, he was another "Hope" candidate. Interesting how you can be one thing one time and blast it the next. Ah, but then that's always been the Clinton politic all way. Forget the facts and the truth, just tell em what they want to hear.

bill pike   March 3rd, 2008 1:51 pm ET

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: clinton is backed into the corner and what she is doing is harmful to all of us. i think it is time to list ALL the negative things of the clinton years that everyone stays away from—list lying under oath, girls in the bedrooms, financial dealings which keeps her from filing her tax report—-HOW DOES SOMEONE SAVE 5 MILLION DOLLARS ON A SALARY–MUST BE TREMENDOUS FINANCIAL PLANNERS.

'01-'09=> W. Bush
'09-??=> H. Clinton?? I don't think so.

I mean, what are they up to?

We need to see change. And we need to see it now.

Bob   March 3rd, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I voted for Obama in the VA primaries. The premise was – sure he's inexperienced with washington and foreign affairs, but he's a leader. He's not about politics as usual.

Since then, I've developed buyer's remorse. This whole bit about Obama's people telling Canada not to take any talk of NAFTA reform too seriously is very disappointing. Now we see that Obama is a politician after all.

I wonder – how much of this has just been marketing?

If I could vote again, I would vote Hillary.

A Veteran   March 3rd, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Simple math: Polls show ONLY Obama can beat Mc Cain in a general election…The longer Hillary stays in this and keeps up her desperate negative attacks on Obama the worse off all democrats will be. McCain couldn't have scripted this better. If it were up to me, Hillary would have dropped out already. By the way, if Hillary pulls off a miracle and wins the nomination, I will peel off my Obama '08 bumper sticker and replace it w/ a Hillary '08 one. I will hope all Hillary supporters will back Obama when he gets the nomination. I understand wanting your candidate to win, but lets look at the big picture people….WE CAN'T GIVE THE REPUBLICANS THE WHITEHOUSE ANOTHER 4 YEARS!!! Its time to unite!

Obama, Kenya needs a president. why dont u go on and go over there. the white house is not for u.

Dee from Texas   March 3rd, 2008 1:47 pm ET

After Texas and Ohio votes, I think it will be high time for the superdelegates and the Democratic National Committee to tell Hilliary "She has overstayed her welcome." She is destroying the Democratic Party and I want to know how long is it going to take for the Democratic Party to realize the damage she is causing. She is going to continue long enough to stop Obama from winning in November – that seems to be her goal at this time.

be   March 3rd, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Hillary plays victim and resorts to the "abused woman" role. That's not the role model we need for a woman in power. If she can't stay with issues and take responsibility for her actions then she must get out….. PS She is supporting McCain with every day she continues in this race after tomorrow. Obama is at least every bit as good as she and refreshingly connected and honest. Go, Obama!

Josie   March 3rd, 2008 1:47 pm ET

O-H-I-O!

HILLARY 2008!!!!

She WILL win Ohio… now lets just hope that Texas doesn't screw over the country again…. hahha… I just voted for CLINTON! :)

There is def a LOT of excitement in Ohio for her!!!!

Ray Timmermans   March 3rd, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Although I doubt she'll win Hillary's nomination would represent the first time in my 30+ years of Democratic activist politics that I would not vote. PERIOD.

She demonstrates with her negative campaigning that she has nothing worth listening to. If she did, she wouldn't have to. It clearly shows that Barack Obama has captured the imagination of a public that has grown weary of the "politcs as usual" mentality offered up by Hillary and the rest of the Washington establishment.

Go Texas, Go Ohio, G Obama!!!!!

Cheyenne Branham   March 3rd, 2008 1:46 pm ET

go obama !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes we can.

Independent-Latina-voter, Salt Lake City, UT   March 3rd, 2008 1:46 pm ET

I am a registered Independent who is supporting Sen. Obama. People who are going to be voting tomorrow need to do their homework. Open their eyes to the truth. Especially, the "Clinton IPA campaign contributions"…… you need to know who you are voting for.

Here's why I am voting for Sen. Obama: he opposed the war from the start. Hillary and all those who voted to support the mess in Iraq are responsible for the $400 million being spent DAILY in Iraq, when millions of Americans have no health insurance, while we lose our jobs, while our country is dangerously in debt. Some think the danger is ONLY Islamic terrorism……. think again, its OUR DEBT to the likes of China! We are about 10 TRILLION dollars in debt, the war has nearly bankrupted us.

We need CHANGE in DC, PLEASE: Texas, Ohio, Vermont & Rhode Island join the rest of us who have voted for CHANGE vote for Sen. Obama! Do not fall prey to the politics of fear!

OBAMA 08!

Bonita Olivares   March 3rd, 2008 1:46 pm ET

I could NOT AGREE MORE with what Linda wrote above!!!
You go girl!!

"I vote completely with my head and that's why I support Obama.

This isn't a struggle of good vs. evil. It's a question of who would be the best president. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in its endorsement of Senator Obama, said that he is better able to work with others and bring people of different ideologies to an agreement. That's the main job of being a president and it's the kind of leadership we need in the White House.

Please read and be informed before you vote."

Obama is a toy action figure with patented speak action.
If you squeeze his hand he says one of three things:
I gave a speech once.
I agree with Hillary's policies.
I want to change the world.

What's he gonna say when he gets his hand squeezed by the president of Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran.

I want to say LOL, but I just can't laugh about this.

white woman in a powerful position wil produce dislike. I think for all of her years in public service, she is not doing too bad. She controls her "whining" , "tears", and her hysteria. I mean, that is what we fear, right? God forbid a woman….. running our country.

Dick, Concord, NH   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

My, oh, my. So Hillary Clinton is the one who is ready on Day 1? I think not. All she had to do to show she had benefitted from her "experience" was to read the NIE prior to voting on the Iraq war resolution. That would have proved to her demonstrably that there was no basis for giving Bush authority to do ANYTHING in Iraq. But no, the great wise Sen. Clinton was too busy to do anything but read the executive summary, which was exactly what Bush's brains, Cheney and Rove, wanted them to do. So, like the good little sheep that she is, Hillary Clinton went along with the rest of the herd. That was indeed her "red phone" moment, and she failed it brilliantly. Bring on hope and change through Obama. There's a much greater likelihood of real change with him than with Sen. Clinton, and surely not the "more war, less jobs" loser McCain.

Tyler   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

pd4hillary   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

How many times can Obama be MIA? No wonder he never makes a mistake, he never does anything. I'm telling you he is the guy that always hangs back and ditto's everything you say. We all have eyes and ears and we all saw it play out in the debates. That part could not be covered up or smoothed over. Vote Clinton people and let's get back to winning the WH in Nov. Take a look at the polls where Clinton versus McCain and Obama vs. McCain square off, she beats McCain, he doesn't. It's about the electoral votes folks, don't forget.

James   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Dear Hillary,

Thank you for injecting the campaign with an incredibly negative air. We love all the attack ads that make Obama look bad and make you look mean-spirited. And I'm sure that McCain's strategists aren't taking any notes.

Jeffrey   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

The country is divided; we need to focus on what we have in common to reunite into the country we have always been proud of. It's a time when it's important to have someone with the right kind of experience and judgment leading the country.

Aside from the judgment garnished through living a life on "both sides of the economic tracks" and being raised among more diverse cultures, I think several years serving in the Illinois state legislature, and a few years as a Senator can be enough.

Actually, I *know* it can be… because the time I'm talking about is the mid-1800's and the man I'm talking about is Abraham Lincoln.

No, Obama and Lincoln aren't the same person… but the corollaries between the men, and the times, are pretty striking.

Sometimes you need a leader who is better at motivating and uniting the populace than a consummate politician more focused on furthering their party's dominance in Washington.

Obama has my vote… and my attention.

James   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Dear Hillary,

Thank you for injecting the campaign with an incredibly negative air. We love all the attack ads that make Obama look bad and make you look mean-spirited. And I'm sure that McCain's strategists aren't taking any notes.

Par   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

How can we expect change from a president who is all words? That's right their won't be change with Obama as president. The last Clinton in office did miracles and I know this one will to.

It's time to get a lady in the house!! The White House!! I have faith Ohio and Texas will make the right descion and realize how much of a unworthy candidate Obama is.

Hillary 08!

Bisham Ramchandani   March 3rd, 2008 1:43 pm ET

If all it takes to be President of the United States of America, is to have the Judgement of not voting on the fateful 'Resolution To Go To War Vote', move over Senator Obama. I am better qualified than you.
I was a Registered Republican and voted to put George W. Bush in office. I realized his failed and wrong strategy and decided to change over to the Democratic Party.
Perhaps, Senator Obama should look into accepting a Vice Presidency under a Hillary Clinton Presidency. Eight years from now, you will have your turn.

RuthieM   March 3rd, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Wait a minute, there's a new Monday morning poll out that has Obama 2 points ahead of Hillary Clinton in Ohio. Where is that poll? It was announced this morning on WABS news Obama 47%, Hillary 45% Ohio.

Shann'on   March 3rd, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Obama For President!

Obama is REAL! He is more than capable of being the next president of the USA. He speaks with confidence and with sense! He can also back up what he says. What exactly does Hillary have "expereince" in/at??? Neither of the candidates have presidential experience, so they are even from this standpoint. You didn't always no how to ride a bike, but you got on and you learned! Hillary has been caught up in so many lies w/her attacks on Obama that it's ridiculous. Do we want a whining president or one that will stand firm and take action? Come on people, let's just be real here!

Ryan   March 3rd, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Hillary likes to claim she has experience, when in reality she has less actual legislative experience than Obama. If anyone remembers during Bill Clinton's presidency, she spent all that time claiming to the American people that she did not handle policy. Either she was lying then, or she is lying now. The First Lady may make important allies and carry influence, but that does not add up to leadership experience at all.

Traci   March 3rd, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Ohio for Obama!!

Yeswecan   March 3rd, 2008 1:41 pm ET

If Obama only won about 50% of left-most Demo party, how could he win national election? Many people decide if Obama won demo nomination, they would vote for John Maccain instead of his own party.

All the soldiers from Texas and Ohio would know that Clinton did visit them, Obama never did. Clinton voted for the funding for our sons and daughters in the battlefield, Obama vote against it.

Actually, when Bush invade Irag, he has 70% approve rating, would 70% Americans all wrong?

applecrispbetty   March 3rd, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee. She will not reconcile herself to that fact. Hopefully her supporters will show more of a sense of reality. They need to get behind Obama soon. We do not want 4 more years of continued Bush policies by lapdog McCain.

Punditty   March 3rd, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Everyone says "Vote for Change," but they have no idea what this "change" actually consists of. This current media hype has been misinterpreted as politics. Younger people want to vote for Obama like they vote for "American Idol." It has more to do with spectacle than it does with actual issues.

Hillary may be shrewd, but atleast she's a legitimate political candidate.

Doug   March 3rd, 2008 1:40 pm ET

McCain is sominex to the political soul. Obama will make him look like the tired, boring, old man he is.

Hillary is so despised (I'm a NY democrat) that Obama has the only chance to finish off McCain. Don't let Hill's lapdogs here is NY fool you. She's done.

Suzie Wilhelm   March 3rd, 2008 1:40 pm ET

In the words of En Vogue, "You're Never Gonna Get It" Hillary!! Take a hint.. buy a vowel.. something.. anything. When most people go to the polls tomorrow, they know that voting for Obama is as easy as ABC–Anybody But Clinton.

Obama '08

John   March 3rd, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Senator Clinton is campaigning right out of the Republican negative, smear playbook. Her supporters do not care if they undermine Barack so John McCain wins. A Clinton presidency would be little different than a McCain presidency in foreign policy, except perhaps Iraq, and would offer very few progressive reforms in domestic policy. At least John McCain has integrity. Barack is best choice for president.

Brian   March 3rd, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Clive Crook of the Financial Times just got it right on the head. He writes:…It is surely telling that the most effective moments in Mrs Clinton’s campaign have been those rare times when a real person has appeared to break through: the tears in New Hampshire, the moving and seemingly unaffected tribute to wounded soldiers at the end of the Houston debate the other day. But for most of the time she has veered from one false personality to another, often during the course of a single debate or interview. One moment she would be acting tough, the next warm; now aloof, now approachable; now a fun person, fond of a joke (that was the worst), now stern and serious. In every moment of repose came that scary rictus smile, to emphasise the lack of authenticity and remind one irresistibly of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

JustinA   March 3rd, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Depressing news for Clinton. I just simulated (using Slate's calculator) hypothetical leads for Clinton (by 30 points in both Ohio and Texas) and she still comes short 50 delegates. In the end, I am glad my small state is coming back to haunt this calculating politician.
Mathematics cannot be spinned.
Good bye Hilarry and good riddance.

By the way, Obama supporters, it is really interesting you use the same talking pts against Hillary that the Right used against her in the 90s. Also, I don't care about her tax returns, I care about mine, that's why I'm voting for more Clintonian policies. Get us back to peace and prosperity, that is change we all need and can enjoy!

Go Obama…. Texas love you…I don't understand why he have to prove so much about himself. Hillary is angry and plays the attack role. Obama treats her with respect. She sends a bad message with horrible commercials. He sends good commercials with no attack but with common sense of good leadership. Stop the hate Hillary respect the man for being very brilliant.

TEXAS LOVES YOU OBAMA>>>>TEXAS LOVES YOU OBAMA…

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

ClintonNever   March 3rd, 2008 1:38 pm ET

I AM SURPRISED WHEN HILLARY'S SUPPROTERS AND HERSELF SAY THAT THE MEDIA IS PRO-OBAMA. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THESE CMMENTS. JUST 1 of my 100 or so COMMENTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED SO FAR.

SOUR LOSERS. SOME IDIOT SAID THAT a vote for hillary is a vote for freedom and democracy.

LAUGH AT YOURSELF. RIGHT TO VOTE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. GO AND DO SOME RESEARCH ON HER AND COME BACK AND SAY THE SAME THING.

CNN – PLEASE POST THIS. Shame on you, Clinton News Network

Traci   March 3rd, 2008 1:38 pm ET

I voted for Obama on Friday! And it felt so goooooooooood!!! I voted for the smartest and one that I see as our next President of the United States!!

Go Obama for Ohio '08!!!!!!

Have a great Obama day!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carol   March 3rd, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Obama is not any different than anyother candidate, his style of presentation is different, thats all. He is more of a smooth talker. Quiet and calculating, basically he is more dirty than anyone else. He is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Michigan and Florida will be counted and Hillary Clinton will be the nomination for the Democratic Pary. It sure does sound nice. The President of the United States of America, Hillary Clinton. Bye Bye Obama Idol fans

erin   March 3rd, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Yes, We Can!

Michael, North Carolina   March 3rd, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Sen. Obama will bring honor back to the oval office. This is something that has been disreguarded by the Bush adminstration. People are suffering, and Sen. Clinton is not trustworthy. She cannot even release her TAX RETURNS, she is hiding something from the American people, and she needs to come clean now. Sen. Obama has made the American people feel good again about there country. Sen. Obama is the JOE LOUIS, FDR, and JFK of our generation. He has the support of many people here in North Carolina.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

Uppermidwest   March 3rd, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I can't believe that Hillary is getting any support whatsoever. You could learn something from presidential dynasties. It is bad enough that the Bush family had more that one term in office, now we are goona give the Clinton's two chances to strike out? The only way to predict the future is to peer into the past. Dynasties = corruption, no family should hold on to that kind of power for longer than a term or two, and if you think she is going to be any better than Bill was, think again. The way that family operates, Bill has his hand up the back of her shirt. No Dynasty. Vote Obama.

jaybee   March 3rd, 2008 1:36 pm ET

So how much do we really know about Obama, really? I think more and more will surface as time goes on. I know Hillary is not perfect, but so are all other policticians. All I know is that Hillary is a survivor and a true fighter and the one who truely deserves to be our leader.

* HILLARY 08 *

Lou   March 3rd, 2008 1:35 pm ET

How many of you guys are really blog plants from the two campaigns? I see your names and the same dumb arguements over and over on all of the blogs. I think you guys are just cancelling each other's messages out. I am sure you want to make the world a better place but you would have more of an impact by turning off your computers and volunteering at a homeless shelter or school.

Mel   March 3rd, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Obama has no ideas of his own. During the last debate, every time Clinton answered a question first, he agreed with her He has no ideas of his own and is not fit to be President. Being a young African American female, I know Clinton can take this nation down a road of prosperity and keep us safe.

jll   March 3rd, 2008 1:33 pm ET

A-void hard questions
N-o straight answers
G-lamorize yourself

Jessica H   March 3rd, 2008 1:33 pm ET

For all of you undecided people who are going to the polls tomorrow, please step back from the emotions of this primary and reflect on who has the character and skills to bring this country out of the freefall that we are in. Hillary may have experience but she continues to demonstrate that she does not have the character and integrity to lead this country back to a position of prominence in the world! If she cannot manage her campaign, how can she manage the country? Moreover, do we want another 8 years of blaming other people when things do not happen, scandals, inflationary spending, and just plain lack of action in creating a country where every person has an opportunity to be successful. While Obama supposedly does not have as much experience as Clinton, he has managed his campaign and finances much better and has not initiated the vicious backbiting of the Clinton campaign which is jeopardizing the future of not only the elections but our country as well. Please vote for Obama!

Obamista NYC   March 3rd, 2008 1:33 pm ET

All of you Hillary supporters are so blind and stuck in the past! How can this country ever make any progress by consistently choosing incapable, bad decsion makers to run the country? She doesn't deserve to be president just because her husband was one.

Why doesn't anyone say anything about Hillary and her terrible campaign management style? If she's sooooo experienced like she claims, why doesn't she have any consistency in her messages? How can someone as sooo inexperienced as Obama outdo her financially and publically as he's done in a matter of months?
By the way, Obama is not just a fad like all you haters claim, he is truly representative of the people of this country, but in a youthful way.

Isn't this a sign that she's incompetent? Billary is mentally unstable and constantly changing her views, ideas, and stance on important issues. She's too tempermental and cannot run a country with this type of mentality.

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so tired of this election. All Clinton and Obama are doing are bickering back and forth, slinging mud and insults. I wish it were over with already.

Candidates, stop with the venomous rhetoric! Stay focused on the issues, what *you* can and will do to help the country, not on what the other person can't or won't do. People really don't like the constant fighting.

Marc   March 3rd, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Exactly when has Obama crossed over the aisle to work with Republicans? He's a lot of things, but uniter ain't one of them. I'd say McCain, then Clinton, and in a DISTANT third, Obama, has shown a willingness to work with the other party. He is ambitious, though, I'll give him that.

katie   March 3rd, 2008 1:31 pm ET

In view of the current state of the country and the world, anyone who votes to prolong the Clinton/Bush rule over the last two decades deserves to have one's head examined. Obama is the only sensible choice for President now.

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 1:30 pm ET

A call once again for Mrs. Clinton to release her tax returns TODAY and ask her husband to disclose his White House papers. Pay attention America, we do not deserve another Clinton "smoking gun" on Wednesday morning detailing troublesome accounts of unsavoury contributors to her campaign and documents perhaps at odds with public statements on NFATC, health care and other critical issues.

We deserve honest, transparency and good governance from our elected officials. We did not find this in the past Clinton Administration, of which Hillary was part and parcel, and given her inability to be open with the American people, deserves no return to the White House.

The negative attacks are deplorable and a true sign of her desperation to win at any cost.

Ebony   March 3rd, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Think folks! Hilary wants the white house because she thinks her way is the only way. I think she can be a force to be reckoned with. She is doing this for her own recognition to make history. And she won't run it her husband bill will be in the office again.
Barack is a very intelligent, hardworking, energetic, well organized man. True he doesn't have much experience, so he won't be tarnished be all the craziness going on in the white house or government now. He has young children that he definitely has a burden to improve things here!
BE SMART VOTE BARACK08!! He should be the next President!

Karen   March 3rd, 2008 1:30 pm ET

When Hillary had her "big" comeback in New Hampshire she only won by 2 points, and while she "won" in votes in Nevada; Barack netted more delegates.
The Clinton's have complained that the media has been bias. It is not that the media is bias, it is that we now have instantaneous media. The Clinton's haven't been able to play their underground dirty politics games that they are used to running.
If she wins either Ohio or Texas it will be by a small margin, and she will not net enough delegates to regain a lead. There is no way she can seat the delegates in Michigan and Florida without a media blitz of unflattering press.
If she were as earnest as her promises; she would know that to continue this fight will do damage to the party.
Sometimes you have know when to fold em'.

wait a minute   March 3rd, 2008 1:29 pm ET

"Hillary Clinton has hinted that her campaign is willing to take the nomination fight all the way to the convention. But on Sunday, she refused to look past March 4." – CNN

The scary part is that Hillary did not have a plan after Super Tuesday and neither does she have one for after March 4. Even Bill Clinton was angry at that. How can she lead?

Jamaal Texas   March 3rd, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Obama is going to be the party's nominee the sad thing is clinton is wasting here time and is altering the way the united states looks at the clinton's altogether when obama win's tomorrow Hilary please quit for the goodness of the party and except that obama is a better canidate. Obama 08! Obama 08!

Have you read Obamas book? The aduacity of hope. I am reading it now. What incite this man has. I voted for Hillary already in WI. I urge you to read Obamas book. In the Election After reading one half of Obamas book I would vote for either but I hope its Obama that Wins. I wish I had read his book before I voted.

Brenda, NC   March 3rd, 2008 1:28 pm ET

This is not a game—we are getting ready to elect the President of the United States, the leader of our country. It is time for everyone to set aside pettiness, let go of grudges, and realize the importance of choosing the right person for the job. There is no one who will work harder or fight harder than Hillary Clinton for what is in the best interest of our country and its people. She has experience and represents the right kind of change for our country. Hillary has what it takes to be a great President. Senator Hillary Clinton is the right choice for Democratic nominee and is better prepared to compete with John McCain in November.

Susana Lartigue   March 3rd, 2008 1:28 pm ET

NOBODY KNEW YOU OBAMA UNTIL OPRAH ENDORSED YOU.
WHAT A WAY TO DO THIS MESS. WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOU. STOP ATTACKING HER. YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE. I WILL NOT FOR YOU EVEN IF YOU WIN THE NOMINATION. WE WILL WIN.
HILLARY WE SAW YOU IN OHIO YESTERDAY. YOU ARE THE BEST.

ALL THE HISPANICS SHOULD VOTE FOR HER TOMORROW. LETS HELP HER WIN…… VOTEN POR HILLLARY POR FAVOR…….

Chicago has been always unscrupulous. Its dealings involving politics and business are known for decades if not a century. Obama can not be playing fair cards when already his taking donation from defunct landlord already proceeding to jail are now known by everyone. He meaning by Obama can not remain clean in any of this. Hillary has no such acqusition against her.

GO HILLARY and MAKE HER THE WINNER. GO VOTE IN THE PRECINT BOOTH AGAIN AT 7 PM IN TEXAS Wherever you live.

Anonymous   March 3rd, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Didn't like Hillary in the beginning but wasn't too keen on Obama either. Now that I've heard all the speaches and the retoric I realize that Obama is just a very good speaker, very convincing but it's all talk. He has nothing new to offer except promises he can't keep. GO HILLARY!

jll   March 3rd, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Obama actually doesn't offer change after all.
With this Rezko thing going on, if Obama gets to the White House, it will mean more investigations, denials, lies, lost documents and on and on.
In his short political career, I think he has set a record for getting involved in political corruption.
Definitely a "boneheaded" move on his part.
He is just another corrupt politician.

Mary   March 3rd, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Amy   March 3rd, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Everyone in politics hates her. Voting for her is voting for more gridlock.

Janel, St. Paul, MN   March 3rd, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Hillary will need to win "big time" in order to take over the lead in delegates. It just seems practical for her to save her contributors some money and all of us some time listening to her campaign, if she will gracefully save face and drop out.

Closely Watching   March 3rd, 2008 1:25 pm ET

So far CNN has posted this on several stories but I believe it is very important and hope it gets posted again.

I would ask everyone here who is supporting Senator Clinton, especially those of you who are women, to research a story being carried on several other well respected news sites and blogs. Use your favorite search engine and type in 'Clinton IPA campaign contributions', read the related stories, then ask yourself if this "First woman president" really deserves your support. Please, especially if your state has not held its primary yet, READ THIS STORY!

Tony   March 3rd, 2008 1:25 pm ET

This could make or break Hillary. Hopefully people will see through the fluff and finally vote for some stuff.

JM   March 3rd, 2008 1:25 pm ET

If Hillary wins the nomination then I will be voting for a Republican! Many others fill the same way.
She will not win against the republicans plus those democrates who will join the republicans.

Shelley in FL   March 3rd, 2008 1:25 pm ET

No one made this a Race vote BUT Obama – and his supporters have made this a race vote. Shame on all of you. You want race issues to stop but you continue bringing it up. People keep reading about the pressures being put on black delegates to dump on Sen Clinton & go with him. Kudos to Rep Jackson of Texas. When you pick your candidate, stay with your candidate until the end. As an "American" – 1 word – support & loyalty go a long way.

jason   March 3rd, 2008 1:24 pm ET

they should just say hillary is the republican nominee.
i mean, that's what this essentially is. the democratic primaries mirror the november elections by asking "do you want a democratic liberal or a democratic conservative?"

in any event. if hillary becomes the front runner against mccain, i'm voting nader. there just isn't a contrast between hillary and mccain.

ben   March 3rd, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Will someone please explain what the word"liberal" means.
I voted for Reagen. I voted for Nixon. I even voted for The first Bush!!
Now I will vote for Obama! Does this make me a liberal? Maybe it does,
because I don't understand what liberal means.

Honesty- Barack

Decency- Barack

Intelligence- Barack

Consideration For People Who Work On His Campaign- Barack

Unifier- Barack

Strength Under Attack- Barack

Effective Campainger- Barack

I'm done, he get's my vote.

jawhar rajan   March 3rd, 2008 1:23 pm ET

It is time for Hillary and Bill to "Move On" They have had their time now let someone else take the baton.
The founding fathers never had the notion that service to the public should be a career. So please Hill and Bill "Move On" rejoin the speaking circuit and live your lives comfortably.

If Hillary does win I will probably vote for Nader

NO VOTE for Hillary '08   March 3rd, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Just listen to what Clinton says and what she does and you will see how similar she is with G.W. Bush that we don't want to get repeated in USA:

1)Iraq War Approval and how she ignores that it was the right decision based on the evidence she had (sounds like Bush),
2) In debates she cries about negative campagnes and on the back she is the champion of negative campagne (sounds like Bush)
3) Critizes Obama that he did not have a hearing about Afghanistan while she doesn't even have a strategy for Afghanistan (same like Bush: no plan)

This list goes on and on and on and on …………………..

MN Woman   March 3rd, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Please, Obamacons, don't try to convince me that the
Republicans like him. That really does come off a delusional, Rebulicans like Republicans. If Obama ends up against McCain do you think he'll be handled with the same kid gloves you use to handle him?

I forsee political cartoons of Obama in a shredded suit saying Republilcans won't hope! They do hope of course, they hope he'll be the nomine, the easiest to take down.

LiLy   March 3rd, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Al C.
I can understand folks wanting something new, but I cannot understand why folks would want someone with ties to Louis Farrakhan and who's campaign tells a foriegn country (Canada) that his speech about NAFTA is just political rehortic and not to worry. So they must be blindly jumping on the bandwagon. I do not expect much as these are a lot of the same folks who voted for Bush.

K.Celina from IL!!!!   March 3rd, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Obama's wagon is full of naive people !!!!!!!
Clintonon's train is full of people with a good choice, life issues and solutions, , Clear Record matters !!!! when comes to make a choice between good and bad !!!!!
OBAMA with his link to corrupted Rezko IS BAD CHOICE !!!!!!
Mrs CLINTON IS THE BEST CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT OF USA !!!!!!!!!

Sarah L, Fayetteville, AR   March 3rd, 2008 1:21 pm ET

PLEASE STOP all of the negativity AND THINK about what this fight is doing to the democratic party and the chance to have a Democrat in the Whitehouse. Somebody is going to lose this nomination. Regardless of who it is, we will have to rally together to prevent more of W's policies going forward. Both Obama and Clinton would make a good president, but we can only have one of them. Please be respectful of eachother's right to make their choice and remember that we do have to come back together before November. If we don't, we will lose.

Rob   March 3rd, 2008 1:21 pm ET

How can people support Hillary Clinton? I mean, come on!

1980 – 1992 – Bush (VP & President)

1992 – 2000 – Clinton

2000 – 2008 – Bush

2008 – 2012 – Clinton?????

3 long decades of a 2 family dynasty running this country. We need to change that this year. It's almost unconstitutional

Carol - Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I will try againCNN! It appears that Hilary has made progress over the last week! I knew she could do it! KEEP GOING HILLARY! If you are not nominated, I and my hysband are going for McCain!

Ronzie   March 3rd, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I hope that Hillary wins both states. I rather have experience than charisma. Obama is all talk and no experience, how can he be ready to run the country when he barely made 3 years in the senate. If Barack was governer for at least one term I would have supported him. If he wins the nomination, I will definely vote for John McCain.

Edgar   March 3rd, 2008 1:20 pm ET

What is everyone going to do when Hillary wins tommorow. Oh! She did not win by a huge margin so she needs to drop out. All of you are showing how divide the Democratic party is.

Take this very serious! The Democratic Party will not survive divided and it will not be a real party if we continue to be a liberal/progressive party.

Obama supporters say we need change and Hillary is not change. What change if we can't even get along in our own party. How is Obama going to unite the nation if his own party is divided between his supporters and Hillary.

Shame to what the democratic party has become – the party that was of FDR, JFK, LBJ!

Right on Mike in IL, Texican and the others – - – the O will be spit out like a stale piece of gum by the Reps… People do not listen or read. Sen. Clinton is the most experienced of the group with a heart. Let's get real America. Step up and vote for a woman!! Sen Biden was my 1st choice and Sen Clinton my 2nd. As always the media has played their hand for their choices. Now I am campaigning for everyone to boycott programs with Tim Russert and Chris Matthews (in this day and age you guys need to get to reality). Rude is the word for Russert

Cry Me A River   March 3rd, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Let's get real, Hillary.

As the former first lady who has millions of personal wealth. You can PAY someone to do your taxes. Once again, and true to Clintonian form, you are duping the American people.

We are on to you. We are sending you back to the state of NY, signed, sealed, and delivered.

Better jump onboard now……please do not forget how many Latinos have died and have been hurt in IRAQ.That's what happens when leaders are not making CORRECT decisions. I can only hope that you make the correct decisions on Tuesday and put race aside………….this is your country too.

John Z.   March 3rd, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Not included in the CNN poll of polls is the Rasmussen Tracking Poll which shows that Clinton in slightly ahead of Obama nationally and that in a head to head contest, McCain holds a wider lead over Obama than he does over Clinton, with McCains lead over Obama increasing more all the time.

Brenda Crider   March 3rd, 2008 1:18 pm ET

The only experience that Barack keeps talking about his saying no to invade Irag! People wake up!

TJ, Lewisville, ARKANSAS   March 3rd, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I want to know when the media is going to report on the allegations made by Larry Sinclair? He suggests that he and Senator Obama engaged in a homosexual act while using an illegal drug. I want to kno why CNN does not think this is important. Mr. Sinclair has asked Senator Obama to simply submit to a lie detector test if the allegation is untrue.

Andy   March 3rd, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Good Competition for the minds and votes of fellow Democrats is GREAT… but remember 1968 and 1972… A weaker Democratic party is an easy target for Sen. McCain… compete but remember there is a TOMORROW!

glo   March 3rd, 2008 1:17 pm ET

I just want to see Hillary get the hell out of Texas. I am so tired of listening to her retoric,how she loves hot peppers and how she was here in 1972 registering voters.
She should make arrangements for a truckload of hot peppers to be delivered so she can eat them after the primary and then let us know
how she is feeling .
Please don't underestimate the latino vote….. Texas is not California!

kevin   March 3rd, 2008 1:17 pm ET

True, Mark. If they read about her history, NO ONE will vote for her. Give me a break! And now that she is more wealthy than Bush, how can she even run an ad that says "The wealthy have had their president"? No to mention the way the Clintons have sucked up to Hollywood elite over the years… Geez…

JennyM   March 3rd, 2008 1:16 pm ET

I just hope someone from the DNC steps in soon or McCain will be the next POTUS.

Hillary is unstable ..

HG   March 3rd, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Hopefully tomorrow will bring an end to the Clinton campaign and the Bush Clinton Bush Clinton era. America should not be run by a monopoly of families If Hillary is the nominee I will be voting for John McCain.

Brian   March 3rd, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Go Hillary Go!!!

I'm looking in form the country to the north of the US. She is the only one that could clean up your mess – what a mess!! You guys need to get your heads out of the sand and vote for real leadership that counts not only in the US but around the world. Come on people.

Janet Greeley   March 3rd, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Eight years experience in the White House. The experience in the state house.
These are offered to support Clinton's candidacy. They also define President Bush. Who can best bring the country together and lead us to where we want to go?

Jim in WI   March 3rd, 2008 1:15 pm ET

There is reason Hillary has gone negative. She can't win by being the torch bearer of change. She can't win on the issues either. She can't win by being positive.

Polls consistently show Hillary losing in the fall. She is the weakest of all the Dems versus any Repub. Obama wins versus all R's and especially McCain on the national scale.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain…. Hillary and McCain are two peas in a pod they are and Hillary will energize a lethargic Repub base to give as big a loser as the shrub (McCain) the Presidency in '08.

Vote Obama. Vote for Change!

SHERRITA   March 3rd, 2008 1:15 pm ET

GO OBAMA! O.B! O.B! You go head with your bad self.

qster   March 3rd, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Way to go Hillary. You will win.

Texas Voter   March 3rd, 2008 1:15 pm ET

The issue with Obama is he can't carry swing states in the fall. The republicans will go after his voting record in Illinios showing that he voted "present" over 100 times when voting on tough decisions rather than really voting. We don't really know that much about him yet, but if he is the candidate in November everything will come out. With Clinton we already know everything. Clinton has been too easy on Obama.

Obama won't be able to carry the swing states of Ohio and Florida which will be needed to win in November.

Ann   March 3rd, 2008 1:14 pm ET

It's about time someone told some truths about Obama,
READ PEOPLE……..DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH….
Obama may be qualified at some point in the future, but
right now….he has done nothing that entitles him to run
for President of the United States of America……
other than just talk…

akaDoug   March 3rd, 2008 1:14 pm ET

I'll be happy when Ms. Rodham-Clinton and her 49 different personalities are back in New York where they belong!

Kay   March 3rd, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Senator Barack Obama will make the best President for all of us. Senator Clinton is stooping to the most negative attacks in desperation to win. She has hired high dollar people to win this election for her. We need to get away from this kind of politics.

Terry   March 3rd, 2008 1:14 pm ET

America this you chance to bury the Clintons once and for all. Please check out the law suite against Hillary. She needs the Whit House to bury the truth. Stop her. Go Obama.

Mr. Din   March 3rd, 2008 1:13 pm ET

If Hillary wins Ohio and Texas…. then Barack will need to explain details to American people, because Barack has spent a ton of money to win in both states.

Anyway either Barack or Hillary win those states, no one can claim as winner yet.

If this goes to convention…. Hillary will win nomination.

And…..in November ..Hillary will win election…

Mandy Lee   March 3rd, 2008 1:13 pm ET

All I want is to see this country to get a President with integrity, honesty and with no ethnical issues. I don't see these qualities in Clinton's. To Clinton's, it is all about being elected. I can live with either Obama or McCain but not Hilary. She is a LIAR! Enough is enough — 4 years of Bush, 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush.. now do we want another 8 years of Clinton?

I trust and I believe that Obama can bring a new chapter to this country.

Obama nation!!!

ken   March 3rd, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Hillary seems quite desperate now she's using any and everything, factual or not to keep her campaign alive. It seems to me that her so-call fire wall (Texas & Ohio) might be going up in smoke.

SALLY   March 3rd, 2008 1:13 pm ET

WHO DOES OBAMA THINK HE IS .TOO GOOD TO DO HIS JOB WITH HIS COMMMITTEE . HIS EXCUSE TOO BUSY BECAUSE HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.GOOD THAT IS WHAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO IF HE IS ELECTED

akaDoug   March 3rd, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Just like in Wisconsin, Maryland, and Virginia, Obama will continue to close strong and win all 4 states. Remember people the minute Hillary steps foot in a state her poll numbers go down and Obama's rise. Why? Because people can tell that he is for real and that she is just a politician ready to say anything to get elected!

BBB   March 3rd, 2008 1:11 pm ET

The sad thing is… I am not overly impressed with any of the options – Republican or Democrat. We need someone who can really understand what we the citizens of this Country are dealing with. No politician can truly appreciate what we deal with… when was the last time any of them had to worry about how much it cost to heat their home, to fill their tank or simply to buy groceries? Wouldn't it be a real eye opener for the Hillary's, Obama's, and any other politician to have to live on a 'real' salary for a month? Then they would really be suited to try to be my respresentative in the White House.

Our politicians are out of touch with the normal person who lives in this Country.

Boston Guy   March 3rd, 2008 1:11 pm ET

If Obama inspires people with not saying anything then America is doomed.

JACKIE SINIUS   March 3rd, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Hillary had no more experience when Bill took office. If you look at the past Presidents going back to JFK, non of them had expereince. I will back the democratic party whom ever the nominee is, but I really don't trust the Clintons at all. Also, what's Bill going to do if Hillary gets office, chase skirts or try to reclaim and build his legacy under her? Think about it!

Praetorian, Ft. Myers, FL   March 3rd, 2008 1:11 pm ET

I've never seen such brainwashed goats!!
Razzle, dazzle and B.S. can only go just so far people.

Let's test the brilliantine'd inspirationalist:

Inspiration–is only valuable when it is combined with the perspiration of personal sacrifice–everything has a price.

What is false about Mr. Obama's rhetoric–is he has yet to divulge what kind and how much personal sacrifice Americans will have to make in order to achieve the lofty and ambitious social re-engineering he proposes.

Inspiration is poo-poo, tell me what it's going to cost me, and what I'll be expected to give up. What kind of sacrifices will my family, my children, and my grandchildre have to make to re-invent America into a socialists dream scape?

sheila   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

The only reason Obama has any following is he says what you want to hear .But when you look harder you realize he does the very things he says he is against.Check out mr I took no money from Washington Lobbyists-look up REZKO-he took plenty from state ones and gave him letters which yeilded the now indicted REZKO millions.mr I am against NAFTA and then saying to canada its just political bs dont worry.You have to walk the walk not just talk the talk.Hillary has been walking the walk not spreading fertilzer around.GO HILLARY!!I I can only hope and pray the folks in OHIO and Texas get all the real info before they vote.

Mark, Vivian La   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Obama:
1) worst attendance and vote record in the Senate
2) Absentee Senate committee chairman. He's had over a full year to hold just one single hearing!

If he can't do his job as senator, why does ANYone think he's up to the task of being President?

Obama:
His pastor and spiritual advisor embraces and honors Louis Farakhan, the most well known anti-semite and bigot in the US, but Obama will not denounce his pastor's decision or leave a church that honors such a man.

Obama: bought land from a campaign contributor who was under investigation for extortion.

Obama: all talk; no action, no personal integrity.

MKA   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Obama is a living American dream, Win or loose, he has already made us proud.

Against all odds he has stood firmly. He deserves to win.

dee   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Isn't it funny that CNN only tells us who endorses Obama…start publishing who is backing Hillary…Or are you scared your Obama meal ticket will shrivel?

disgruntled in CA   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

I think the moderate republicans and the moderate democrats will all vote McCain in Nov. if Obama is the nominee. So the democrats need to really think about it before they vote Tuesday otherwise they will be left once again scratching their heads as to why they lost the presidency.

Go Hillary!

J K Davis   March 3rd, 2008 1:10 pm ET

I have been listening to Hillary Clinton talk about health insurance since her husband was elected (1993) and here we are 15 years later and she is talking the same thing. The reason it isn't done yet is that she doesn't know how to reach across the parties and get the votes she needs. So for all these "plans" I hear everyone saying Hillary has remember she has to get a majority vote to get ANY of them done. If you really want to see this country start to make progress vote OBAMA. By the way do you really want the person picking up the phone at 3AM on "day one" to say "Why do I have to go first?" like she did in the last debate? Or maybe she can say that at her first summit meeting.

harv   March 3rd, 2008 1:09 pm ET

As an interested bystander from Canada I'm surprised you would want a replay of the the Clinton years. I know she says she'll be independent of hubby, but really….do you honestly believe that. Its time to move on from nostalgia and embrace the future, otherwise its back to the 80's with Hill…

CW4Barak   March 3rd, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Obama will sweep tomorrow's elections,winning with the following margins:
Texas – by 8%
Ohio – by 4%
Vermont – 19%
Rhode Island – by 6%
Sorry Billary fans–don't waste your votes, vote Obama and let's end this thing and start focusing on McCain…he is so confident he will win not only the Rep. nomination but the presidency, he was barbecuing all day yesterday!!

acenl   March 3rd, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Ohio, when you vote, consider Hillarys voting record of not being able to stand up for an issue that she supposedly agrees with on numerous occasions in the past. I guess now that’s all changed. Hillary is continually vacillating from 1 side of an issue to the next… Is that experience? Do you want someone bartering for us like this? What you see with Hill, is not what you get…..
The Clinton experience that she has been bragging about when looked at carefully, is her ability to agree with an issue she don't agree with. Is this how Ohio thinks someone in command should do things?

People lets get your heads out of the Arkansas sand…

Jenniffer   March 3rd, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Ask yourself why Hillary will not let you see all of Bills tax info until AFTER the primary elections because by that time she will have fooled the american people once again and it will be to late for them to do anything about it.

stuart_zechman   March 3rd, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I urge all of you to come to Swampland on the Time.com page where we have very very very good discussions on why Obama is the best and how we will defeat McCain and the necons! You will very much enjoy my prose as it is very well written and amazing in its analytical prowess.

Anybody but Obama. I don't care what party they are, or if they have no party. Just please, spare me this smug, know-it-all, phony who changes his religion for a campaign and who changes his promises as often as he changes his tie. He won't keep any of them because he DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO!

Sharlene Williamson   March 3rd, 2008 1:08 pm ET

People need to wake up and notice that Obama's got nothin' but a bunch of hot air comin' outta his dreamy smokescreen. Not to mention he's a closet chain smoker! What a phony.

Hillary's the only experienced candidate.

Hill '08!

Al C.   March 3rd, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Do you people really think that reason Obama is getting so many votes is because people are just blindly jumping on the bandwagon, because it's the "in thing"? Did you ever stop and think that maybe, just perhaps, a lot of people are thinking the same way he is? Maybe people really do want something new and different?

wycliffe   March 3rd, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Clinton is taking alcohol……what about her religion…is it time to repent

dee   March 3rd, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Dear Texan….
It is OK that you don't know why you don't like Obama…..It is called a gut feeling. If you have children, or have been in business deals, that gut feeling can save you from a big mess. Sometimes you just can't put your finger on it but it will come to light at some point. Sometimes you just can't figure out why the story doesn't fit. That is probably what you are experiencing…Go with your instints!

Dont be fooled by Hillary she is a criminal. At this point if she is on the ticket or if she does not loose I wont vote at all or I will switch to the republican party.

nick   March 3rd, 2008 1:06 pm ET

If Hillary somehow wins and goes on to run as a Democrat for President, McCain can count on this Democrats vote. I will not vote for her and I know a lot of other people that feel the same way. She is one way one day and a whole different person the next and I don't care for that type of person to be my President. She really turned me off the past few months with the things that she has said and the way she and Bill has acted with her camp. How low will she stoop for the job? She looks sad and bad. Not a leader to me.

beans from Belize   March 3rd, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Why all Hilliary supporters demand that she file her taxes, then u will see who is d real Democrate and Freedom fighter she is.

Only for special interests that is.

Obama '08 Now!!!!!!!!

Starlington, TX   March 3rd, 2008 1:06 pm ET

In my world I want a president who not only had good judgement, but will be able to speak for most Americans, not just a few. This president will not be divisive and will stand up for people, who have voted against him/her. I want someone who will stand tall in the world's eye and tell them that this country is great, and we are back.

That person is Barack Obama. He has my attention, and my vote.

Cyndi   March 3rd, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island – PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE put Hillary out of her misery!!!!

We really need to get her out of this race! This is exactly what Americans have said they do not want! She wants to run a nasty race, while Obama wants to be respectful and civil.

Please vote for Obama!!

Dennis   March 3rd, 2008 1:05 pm ET

I voted for Obama in early voting in Texas. Clinton and Obama's positions on the key issues are almost identical. For all the talk about Obama being vague, Hillary's health plan really is just a collection of bullet points. She won't even come out and say how she plans to enforce it. It comes down to what you make of Hillary's 35 years of experience vs. Obama's judgment. I think Hillary's experience has been overstated. I'm taking Obama's judgment.

Vig   March 3rd, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Clinton will take both Ohio and Texas because of the Latino vote. The election process will then go on to Pennyslvania and hopefully to the convention floor where the nominating belongs after being hijacked by the anti-Clinton media.

Barack Oprah   March 3rd, 2008 1:05 pm ET

So close to call, but Obama supporters try to force Clinton to give it up.
For the party? Democrat can't win if Obama is nominee. They mean for GOP? It makes sense. Vote for Obama for GOP.

Catherine   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

I really don't want to see the Clintons in the White House again. Enough is enough. I am a registered Republican, but will be voting for Obama. Unfortunately, Hillary will become ugly in the days to come in order to get what she wants. But, she will fail and the people of America will win when Obama wins the White House.

David, Dallas Tx   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

The only significant policy differences: 1) Clinton would force the poorest of the poor to support Big Business by forcing them to buy insurance, and 2) Hillary would perpetuate Bush's foreign policy–she's voted to support all his decisions, refuses to call them mistakes, and, like Bush, says we should refuse dialogue with hostile powers unless they agree to our demands before the talks even begin.

Obama, on the other hand, doesn't want to support Big Business at the expense of the poor, and understands that you have to engage with others in order to influence them.

Lastly, independents will determine this general election. McCain is popular with them. So is Obama. Clinton isn't. Do you not want someone who can fight McCain for the independent votes, or someone who is too polarizing to appeal to them? Look at the polls.

Vote smart. Vote Obama.

D. CAMPBELL   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

If Texas and Ohio don't deliver Barack Obama as the nominee, they will be responsible for McCain in the White House. Republicans HATE the Clinton's, but like Obama.

Jenniffer   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Hey you are righ Hillary stands for , Freedom and Democracy especially freedom the freedom to take unauthorized donations up to 2 million from Paul a major donater in her run for the Senate. Now she denies that she ever took money from him and even denied knowing him under oath.
See Paul vs Clinton and ask why the media has not been covering this story.
Shame on Hillary once again. We dont need this in our White House again!

See more info on Paul vs Clinton on the net.

Paul v Clinton has become and will be the first civil lawsuit to produce sworn testimony and evidence of the systemic corruption that the Clintons have infused into the Democratic Party and all branches of the federal government. Given the necessary resources and legal talent to use the legal tools now available, the illegalities directed by Hillary Clinton to win and keep her Senate seat will be irrefutable!

Linda   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Hillary did not vote on the telecommunications bill recently even though she was in Washington DC that day. She was campaigning, but so were Obama and McCain, who each took time out to vote.

Googe Paul v. Clinton and see the PRESENT, ONGOING LAWSUIT ABOUT CAMPAIGN FUND FRAUD. This still hasn't been decided. Wouldn't that be great to have a president start out their term under such a cloud.

Hillary has been involved in so many scandals that Obama could have fronted her out on, but didn't because he doesn't play dirty like that, especially to one in his party. Hillary will walk all over anyone to get what she wants.

Blame Canada   March 3rd, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Obama inspires, an inspired nation can come together and accomplish great things! Another Politician like Hillary Clinton will only further divide the country along political lines.

Kris   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Polls are nothing more than advertisements for the candidate who the poll says is leadiing.

I could run a poll and make sure that I ask only those who share my opinion to participate.

Hello Americans. Wake up — you not really sheep and you don't have to follow the flock. Think for yourself.

michelle   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Hillary will NEVER bring out the voters in the general election like Obama has in the primaries and McCain will win in the fall and he is just a clone of BUSH, the average voters nightmare!!!
WELCOME to another 4 years of the same old corupt war mongering
washington

to avoid this scenario vote OBAMA 08

ao   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Short summary:
Difference 1:
Campaigning "forces" Obama to attend neither State of the Black Union nor hold ANY hearing in OVER A YEAR of being a chairman of senate subcommittee (and we have serious problems in Serbia/Kosovo, NATO forces in Afganistan, yesterday's Russian election).

On the other hand, Hillary found time to pay her respect and be with the family during the funeral of the fallen Dallas policeman.

Difference 2:
Obama double talks on NAFTA to Canada and during the second debate in Ohio. He says to US – VOTERS, he will abolish NAFTA and renegotiate, THAN his staff tells CANADIANS (in a memo as proof) that it was just a rethoric!

Retoric vs. Action – quite clear.

Please CNN post it – thank you

kevin, fl   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

I agree with you Texican. The republicans will eat him up and spit him out. There is too much we do not now about him and as this past week has shown there is probably alot more that we are going to learn. Plus the fact that his wife is going to be a huge liability to him. God it makes me sic to thin of her as a first lady. Cmon texans, Ohio lets put the right person in the White House – Go Hillary!!

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

I happen to like both Clinton and Obama, but I prefer Obama. I just wish that they would "kiss and make up" after this campaign is over.

They should both change their theme songs to "Why Can't We Be Friends".

Michael   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

These polls are not accurate. I believe Clinton has turned the tide and probably will win both Texas and Ohio, by an average of 5-8 points. However, the Obama campaign will look towards the delegate counts and say they still won the important battle. Obviously, the argument will not be a strong one because the Democratic nominee MUST win the blue states in order to win the general election. Too many cracks are appearing in Obama's armor. Undecideds should be able to come to a decision now.

Great job, Hillary! Our next President of the United States.

Pworth   March 3rd, 2008 1:02 pm ET

I wake up early on Inaugural Day, and turn on the television to see the next president of the United States. The announcer introduces the next president, and Hillary strides to the podium.

Startled, I wake up to find I was dreaming…having a nightmare. I turn on the television just in time to see Barack Obama walk to the podium. I sigh; relieved to realize our next president is a decent, honest person.

Obama's : " I did not vote for the war" is getting pretty boring, empty, old and lonely. Does he have anything else to say?
He changes his words all the time – like this thing with Canada recently…..how can we trust someone who changes his words all the time? His promises are empty as they can be – it is just a lure for the prey ( people) to get him voted,and then – who knows what will happen?

Norman Phillips   March 3rd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

There is little doubt that if Hillary were to be president she would be good for America. And so would Obama.
The problem is that Hillary wants to be president so bad that she will deviate from every position needed to get there whether it is good for America or not. She is prepared to destroy the Democratic Party and its chances in Novemeber for her and her husbands personal ambitions.
Hillary is not a change candidate. She has too much baggage to enable her to win in November and if the candidate she will bring every neocon, right wing nut case out of the woodwork in order to beat her. Every poll shows that if she is trhe candidate the Republicans have the best chance to win the White House, but Hillary and Bill do not care. They caremost for the Clintons.
We cannot afford another 4 years of Bush-McCain failed policies.
If Obama is n ot the Ccandidate we risk losing our best chance of taking back the White House. How is it that Hillary and Bill cannot see the wood for the trees?

Concerned Texan   March 3rd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Hillary is this country's only hope to accomplish real change. She is the only candidate ready to handle the obsticles this country is facing today. Obama is for change, but what does that exactly mean. Fellow Texans, don't get caught up in all the hipe!!!! He has not been clear on what he is going to change and how he is planning on doing it. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that is ready and who has the experience to be president of this great country!

Linda   March 3rd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

I vote completely with my head and that's why I support Obama.

This isn't a struggle of good vs. evil. It's a question of who would be the best president. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in its endorsement of Senator Obama, said that he is better able to work with others and bring people of different ideologies to an agreement. That's the main job of being a president and it's the kind of leadership we need in the White House.

Please read and be informed before you vote.

Mercedes   March 3rd, 2008 1:00 pm ET

A vote for Obama is a clean page in the future of the White House and this country's future. She is and will always be the past no matter what anyone tries to say. No matter how you try to connect the future to the 90's era it's impossible. Nothing is best the second time around especially after a 8 year war that hasn't led to nothing more than hatred toward this country around the world.

Obama for president (our future)

you think moderate republicans are going to vote for Obama??? the republican news media is trying to run Clinton out of the nomination by being easy on Obama… McCain and the republican party fear running against Clinton because she can go toe to toe with McCain… she has the knowledge, support, experience to fight him… Obama has none of those!!!

After reading some of the blogs… I can not believe how much the media has influenced so many of you… the media only reports what sells newspapers and of course all of us only hear what we want to hear… all of youn need to look at the whole picture before making a decision…

john Glenn's brave deeds? He was an astronaut…

Obama is polling 6-7 points higher than mccain which hilary is doing the opposite of. He will win and she will lose.

A vote for obama is a vote for a change to how this country should be run by the constitution. A vote for hillary is a vote for mccain.

Praetorian, Ft. Myers, FL   March 3rd, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Frankly, I'm still not over the shock of how many Americans have thrown in their futures with either of these chameleons?

One is, I guessjust slightly left of center…but mostly left.
The other is left, way left, and really crazy left of center.

The only thing for sure: their answer to every problem is a government program–and tossing tax payer's money at it–with vague expectations and outcomes.

They'll give us the best money we can pay, and pay, and pay for.

Craig   March 3rd, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Who would elect to watch a soap opera re-run of the clinton show? BORED HOUSEWIVES. Get a life, hillary will forget about all of you as soon as the votes are counted.

Tony Bishop   March 3rd, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Whichever is the Democratic candidate I will vote for. I believe that Hillary is the more seasoned and would be a better president. Obama will be ready one day, maybe by next time, but is nothing like ready for the White house.

G Hewitt   March 3rd, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Tired of the same old politics? Ready for change and a new direction? Vote for hope! VOTE OBAMA!

David C. In Indianapolis   March 3rd, 2008 12:56 pm ET

I feel that President Obama should appoint Hillary as Housing Secretary in his administartion in '09. "It Takes A Village……."

Rational Thinker   March 3rd, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Well Texican, you could try the fact that he has almost no experience and has spent his entire career of 3 years in the Senate not voting on important pieces of legislation to protect himself politically. That's what I go with.

Get Real, B. Serius   March 3rd, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Obama reminds me of JFK, and R. Reagan in his ability to motivate people and demonstration of leadership qualities. Think about it, these are the midas hallmarks of great presidents. So lets bring this primary to appropriate conclusion and send Billary back to N.Y. Obama 08.

lb   March 3rd, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Clinton's time is over.
Let a new era under Obama begin!

Open Mind   March 3rd, 2008 12:55 pm ET

To those giving your support to Obama – - please consider the reality of your candidate. He offers words, promises, inspiration, a "young and hip" charisma, but little else. He is nothing more than an empty box w/ a nice bow and card. Our country needs the experience, cool head, and depth of knowledge that Hillary Clinton offers. She is not in it for ego (hell, after what she endured in the public eye as First Lady, who needs it?). Yet, she is compelled to fight for the fundamental democratic values of this country, in spite of the constant Clinton bashing that you and the media have inflicted. I, as so many others, am inspired by her perseverance and commitment! She is the one who offers change – not naively for change's sake, but in a constructive and progressive direction. Obama's probably a nice guy, but he isn't even in the same league as Senator Clinton – he has a bit more maturing to do before he's "presidential" material. IN SHORT, DON'T BE FOOLISH WITH THIS ELECTION – THIS IS NOT AN AMERICAN IDOL SHOW.

John   March 3rd, 2008 12:55 pm ET

If Obama will the primary, but for what? He will lose at the general election.

Tim   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Please use more exclamation points. It's the only way that we know that you mean what you say when you're talking about a candidate.

t-bone   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Hillary, I used to respect you and Bill but you are trying to think of every way possible to "swift boat" Obama.

If you somehow win the nomination, I WILL VOTE FOR NADER!

Lets Get Ready for Change!   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!! TEXAS AND OHIO, TIME HAS COME TO VOTE FOR CHANGE! HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL SAY VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE.. (TRANSLATION… VOTE FOR THE SAME OLD SAME). NEW FACE IN WASHINGTON IS WELCOMING.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS.. IF HILLARY HAD SO MUCH EXPERIENCE, WHY HAS SHE TURNED SO NEGATIVE? WAS SHE AFRAID OF CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!! NEGATIVE IS NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR EITHER CANDIDATE. OBAMA TAKE THE HIGH ROAD ( THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED). LET HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTER SINK TO AN ALL TIME LOW WITH THE NEGATIVITY. WHEN YOU CAN'T BET THEM, BECOME ANGER AND NEGATIVE. UM… THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF PRESIDENT.

Ohio Democrat   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

We will be voting for Hillary here in Ohio. Go Hillary.

Mark B   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

In spite of all the partisan comments made here, the truth is that a result of this ilk will mean that Obama retains his current advantage. He will be a handful of delegates up in both Texas and Vermont, and a handful down in Ohio and, perhaps, Rhode Island with the net result of no change, and Clinton still 100 delegates behind. Next to come are Wyoming and Mississippi, both of which will be comfortably won by Obama, with his lead stretching to, perhaps, 120 delegates. Even if Clinton narrowly wins Pennsylvania, Obama will neutralise that by winning North Carolina and by then his lead will be stretching towards 140 delegates. All the May states are Obama states. Unless these polls disastrously overstate the support for Obama, Clinton cannot catch him, nor will she be able to say he has not won a big state if he has won Texas.

Mike smith   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Hillary is DONE! The house just fell on her!

Deb   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

I will be doing my Texas Two Step Vote tomorrow for Hillary!

As was pointed out on "Meet the Press" yesterday. "Obama can't close the deal". Poeple are starting to wake up to the fact (no thanks here go to the press) that he is Nothing, with Nothing to offer but Hot Air!

If you are happy with the way things are… vote for Obama and the Republicans will stay in office!

He will lose the election for the Democrates because as Madeline O. put it "He can't close the deal"

cct   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Obama keeps doing over and over: the double standard, the twists, the non steadiness, he does not stand behind what he says – too many explanations " he did not mean that, this was not what he meant etc etc. How person like this can lead a country? He is just opportunist, he goes for what is suitable at the moment, but we cannot go by the moments, wee need steadiness.
The world is in turmoil, we need strong and steady hand and mind to lead us to well being, not disaster.
Hillary is steady.

African Prince   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

American People what does it to be President ? To all the Clinton supports surely not only your Last name ?… If so then can we expect Chelsea to run for President in the future ?….Come on People ..Or God forbid another Bush running for President !!

Lesley   March 3rd, 2008 12:54 pm ET

We all know the old political games of which this is just one more move. Clintock relies on her husband's time in the White House for "experience" points but then distances herself from NAFTA which he signed. More of the same ol' games. Texas for Obama!

kevin, fl   March 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Hillary is the best candidate by far. She can put up a true fight against McCain and win November. Wake up Obamaniacs he can never win in November. All of the Hillary supporters I know, family friends, in NY and Fl would never vote for Obama. His foriegn policy is weak, he is too pasive and he will never win the swing/red states. If you want a democrat to be the next president only 1 has a shot HILLARY 08

Manny   March 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm ET

That easy Texican, you like many others dont like him because he is black! If McCain wins this thing, you Americans will get what you deserve…….

Rose - Baltimore, MD   March 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Pls we need to pardon Hillary for the last minute negative ad, today is the last we will hear of her. She's trying to make her last moments as memorable as possible. Everybody remembers when people are ugly and not when they are nice. She is trying to achieve that. So pls bare with her for today for tomorrow she will be headed back to New York.

Obama will sweep all the 4 primaries tomorrow by God's grace!

Betti D. Highbaugh   March 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm ET

People need to learn how to use the internet and search the candidates and their history…The Clintons are some scarey people, and McCain is just ….undescribable.

Medi Marah   March 3rd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Hillary will be defeated convincingly on Tuesday. Please be real for one second and stop pretending you have the momentum while there is actually nothing to bluff about. Have you forgetten the 11 straight defeats she is coming from.. common Hillarycans! be smart for one second. Please let the electorates decide and not the Hillary propaganda machine. The nuke ages are over and this election is not about a 3 a.m call, its about being right from day one. And Hillary hasn't been right from day one. If she is experienced enough why in the first place did she put the lives of thousand of American troops in danger and voted Yes for an unjustified war. Shame on you and its time for the American people to punish her for that inexperienced decision.

CaliPeach   March 3rd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Texican, read the history of the Clinton's… You don't even have a reason for not liking Obama (how elementary is that???) When Obama is finally announced of the Democratic Nominee, each of you will bite your words. Hillary needs to focus on keeping her marriage together!! Read the your History of the EX- Goldwater Girl, who was raised in a Republican House Hold…

OBAMA 08 (He will be the Dem nominee whether you like it or not)

SALLY   March 3rd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Larry Buchas   March 3rd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Porky Limbaugh is asking all his listeners to crossover & vote for Hillary just to prolong the primaries. Actually, he's praying Hillary can still win the nomination.

Let's defy these rats, once and for all!

Vote Obama!

Erik   March 3rd, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Senator Clinton was first elected to public office in 2000. Senator Obama was first elected to public office in 1996. His military experience is equal to hers. He has been a public official longer than she has. As First Lady of both Arkansas and the United States, Mrs. Clinton was a private citizen and cannot claim "experience" as a result. She has no appointed diplomatic experience and wouldn’t answer the phone at 3:00 AM anyway: that would be the White House Signal Corps on the line, with the President surrounded shortly afterward by trusted advisors as decisions are made. This Karl Rove routine being pulled by the Clinton campaign should not be rewarded by the people of Texas and Ohio tomorrow.

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 12:51 pm ET

The Dems know Obama must be the one who runs against McCain in November… and it'll be that way. No way Clinton beats McCain… Obama supports won't vote for her and all the independents will vote for McCain. Sorry Clinton supporters but Obama has this in the bag.

I have too much change in my pockets   March 3rd, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Obama adviser: Memo misinterprets stance on trade

Shame on you. If a picture gets out with him in a turban, it is "Hillary's" fault. Not the campaign's nor a staffers and you spend about 18 hrs in a day discussing how evil her campaign is.

Now the truth comes out about Obama, you can barely get yourself to cover it. Where is the "fair and balanced" coverage. Nowadays Bill 'o Reilly seems to be a much better unbiased person than CNN/MSNBC folks. Shame on you. You are doing a disservice to the country.

Friends of America   March 3rd, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Obama criticizes Hillary for voting for war on Iraq. How was she to know the information that led the senate to vote for it was wrong>?
He was not even a sesnator when the vote was cast!!
now however, Barack wants to Bomb PAKISTAN if he is president and finds out Obama is there! WHY HAS THE MEDIA NOT BROUGHT THIS TO LIGHT? tHIS WILL MAKE OR BREAK THE CAMPAIGNS. pLEASE VERIFY . oNE OF THE ARTICLES CAN BE SEEN IN:

Hillary supporters must be on crack if they thing she has a chance of winning the nomination. You could be a third grader and do the delegate math and determine that this race is already over.

Oy heah unless she wins all the remaining states by an average 70-30 split.

alaina   March 3rd, 2008 12:50 pm ET

First it was bush for 4 years, then it was clinton for 8 then it was the Bush II a bad sequel for 8 years… really lets not make another bad sequel, Clinton II…. no thank you… I have had enough of BUSH/CLINTON for 20 years…. OBAMA for something new.

I believe he has solid plans on where to lead this country and to give us SOMETHING FRESH. If Hillary gets the nomination… I will vote McCain, because McCain is a moderate republican and can draw the middle ground. Many americans will do this if Hillary gets the nomination, which means we will have another 8 years of war….

This country is ready for something new

GO OBAMA

Pauline Park   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Abraham Lincoln, our greatest president, exemplifies the ability to inspire as well as to persuade, which is a crucial element of any successful presidency. Barack Obama also has that ability, as we can see by his ability to inspire as well as to persuade the people of the 11 states that have held primaries since Super Tuesday. In contrast, the inability to inspire or to persuade that Hillary Clinton has demonstrated is also characteristic of our worst presidents, including the current occupant of the White House, whose war in Iraq she supported.

Fay   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Texican: That's a little immature to not like someone with no reason. I can tell you why I don't like Ms. Clinton. She sways too much on the issues that matter and she complains a whole lot. Her whole approach shows me that she cares more about becoming the first woman president than about the American people's choice. I voted early in Texas and my vote was for Mr. Obama.

Virginian   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Well, it looks like Senator Obama will be our next president. The race against Hillary will likely be over tomorrow.

The Democratic Party is energized beyond control, and a candidate like McCain can't hold a candle to Obama. The general election campaign will be a joke.

"McCain is a mile wide and an inch thick." He'd better brush up on the issues if he wants to compete.

SALLY   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Dianne   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

I have never watched politics as much as I have these past 3-4 months. Back in January when New Hampshire had it's elections I was unsure till the very end if I was to vote for Hillary or Obama. I voted for Hillary due to what I do know of her background. Now I am extremely pleased with my decision. Obama is a good talker but in my 56 yrs of life, I have known many good talkers but have seen very few that can deliver what they talk. Actions have always produced more than words. Wake up People.

Chris Mannoia   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

It's time for Hillary to give it up; she can't rally the numbers she needs to get the nomination, and Barack Obama is the one hope we have for a real change; I hope that on Wednesday she gives her support to the next President: Barack Obama.

Matt M.   March 3rd, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Hillary Clinton won't win. Both of those "poll averages" factored in polls that were taken between Feb. 26th and 28th; those numbers are no longer relevant. If you look at the most recent polls you will see that Obama's numbers have increased significantly.

There is no good reason to vote for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama. Look at their websites and see for yourselves.

Mike in IL   March 3rd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

I still can not believe all of you talking about her vote on the war… I think all of you have forgotten about that horrible day the Towers were burning on TV… Now you question why we went to war and the votes that were cast… I guarantee that if Obama was in the Senate at the time of the war he would have voted for the war… coming from IL he would not have been reelected if he did not…

All of this talk about negative campaigns… what do you think McCain is going to do to Obama??? Obama is going to be hurt by experience and all of the drama this next few months regarding his Chicago friends… IL has had nothing but negative press regarding all of its politicians for the last several years… now a possible president linked to a criminal… open your eyes… it is going to get really ugly her soon for Obama… you can say all you want about Hillary's past but you forget it is in the past… done and over!!! Obama's situation is going to be right now in your face and McCain and the republicans will destroy him!!!

What are all of you talking about a huge margain??? All of the states have been split that is why no one has pulled away… As they say on all the news stations… it is too close to call!!! I hope that everyone starts to wake up from all the BS that Obama is talking about… he most likely will lose his senate seat because of his criminal friends in Chicago… why not try to run for president before everything comes to an end!!! All this talk about Hillary dropping out… Why??? Not sure why anyone but Huckabee should quit.

New Yorker   March 3rd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Can I still vote for Hillary because Hillary is good?

DeZinerBk   March 3rd, 2008 12:47 pm ET

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for John McCain for president. If Hillary wins every Republican alive will come out to vote against her. They hate the Clintons and will do ANYTHING to keep them out of the white house. Not to say that Republicans love Obama either but if he were the nominee we would have a MUCH better chance.

If you're truly concerned about the FINAL outcome of this year's election (and not the primary)…please remember this issue…

lee   March 3rd, 2008 12:47 pm ET

11 straight wins stand for something. Young people involved in politics means something. The racial divide over means something.
This is over tomorrow…Texans and Vermont..do your job, carry Obama to the White House…so we can regain some respect in the World again.

Vicky in Texas   March 3rd, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Hillary's negative attacks show me that she is floundering and more concerned about her own career that uniting the Democratics to win in the fall – she would destroy an excellent man like Obama just to further her own career. She will stop at nothing, and I would never vote for her.

Obama 08!

Mary in Oklahoma   March 3rd, 2008 12:46 pm ET

These polls would not be close if the whole truth sbout Senator Obama's friends, supporter and political cronies was out in the main stream media. This man does not disclose the truth.

Can't wait to see him taken away in handcuffs just like his friend and fundraiser, Tony Rezko.

I hope that Senator Hillary Clinton will be our democratic candidate.

d.dee   March 3rd, 2008 12:46 pm ET

We need experience in the White House. Our problems are too large to hire a rookie. We've just finished 8 years with an inexperienced President. Let's not repeat our mistakes.
I’m absolutely terrified about Obama’s inability to handle National Security (long before the ad came out). Obama has no wisdom, no insight, poor judgment, lacks experience and has no depth of knowledge on National Security and military issues. He misunderstands the intricacies of international relations and the role of the military in protecting us from the outside.
He's all talk with no understanding of how to actually get his plans implemented.

Please Texas and Ohio bring us Senator Clinton so we can have a REAL candidate against an experienced McCain.

Many   March 3rd, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Hillary for Vice President   March 3rd, 2008 12:45 pm ET

So far Hillary lost 11 straight contests without even acknowlidging the strength of her opponent. This shows how much she is out of touch with teh reality and how she is able to ignore reality. Hopefully, four straight losses on March 4th will finally open her eyes and realize that Obama is the more popular and more qualified candidate of the two. She needs to realize that she needs the endorsement of the American people rather than endorsement of her husbands Super delegates.

Hillary's must win will not repair the damage she has done to the democrat party and the republicans are loving it. Hillary has given the republican party enough ammunition to use against her in a debate that she will not be able to back away from. Is she really hurting Obama, no, because she has put him in a position to defend their attacks. Hillary's desperation has put her on a double edged sword with no way out. Vote Obama.

Jenan   March 3rd, 2008 12:45 pm ET

If Clinton wins Ohio & Texas by 52-48 margins, she'll pick up 5-10 delagets on Obama that's it.

Then she's going to turn around and get landslided in Miss next Tues, and she'll be worse off than she was going into March 4th, with no states left to make up the deficit.

She can't win, she should just drop out for the good of her party.

Michael "C" in Lorton, Virginia   March 3rd, 2008 12:44 pm ET

I cannot invision having Bill Clinton near the white house — both clintons are such a polorizing couple — don't forget how paralized the U.S. was during Bill's congressional hearings and how, even though Hillary knew the truth, she still blamed the media for Bill's ills.

Do we need this again — she's doing it again, complaining and blaming the media for her standings … she needs to get real and understand that America doesn't believe in her!

automatic   March 3rd, 2008 12:42 pm ET

What is happening to Hillary? She is a smart woman, brainy. She doesn't need to resort to dirty tactics or mudslinging. She should just let her ability shine through and watch that mediocre Obama melt and disappear for good on his own! The cream rises to the top.

Although, the true poll of polls of the most recent polls (as of 3/2) show Clinton up +1.0. CNN is just failing to factor in the most recent PPP poll which shows Clinton up +6.0.

What I find hysterical that Obama keeps talking about his superior judgement and knowledge, well if that was the case how come he didn't know that Canada DOESN'T HAVE A President. They have a Prime Minister. Educate yourself on the world Obama and then run for office. At least Clinton knows what she's talking about when she opens her mouth.

Michael   March 3rd, 2008 12:41 pm ET

To be expected. It's hard to hold a lead when half the country thinks you're a "congenital liar.". Oh, the way, Hillary, where are the tax returns, the information on the cattle futures, your schedule when in the White House? More examples of your hubris and duplicity.

JA Cook   March 3rd, 2008 12:40 pm ET

It's 3AM and a phone is ringing and ringing and ringing in the White House… which Hillary would you want answering it?

The Hillary that had no post super-Tuesday campaign plan?
The angry Hillary?
The victimized Hillary?
The soft Hillary?
The conciliatory Hillary?
The divisive Hillary?
The attack Hillary?

Oh, never mind, Bill got it.

sascha   March 3rd, 2008 12:40 pm ET

@jp/michigan: I don't understand the Clintons slogan "actions vs. words". She has never been President in her life, so what did she do as President?? Or does she mean, that her plans are "action"? In my eyes both Clinton and Obama have good plans, but the only difference is that Obama has much better speeches and he can inspire people to become active in Politics.

We will see what happens tomorrow…

I can not find anything, not a single bill. AllI I found are "mistakes pressing the buttom" every time he voted wrong and for special intersts, The incredible explanation: "sorry i pressed the wrong buttom" Can you believe this?
Obama: talk about any real achievements or any succesful bill that you ever authored! Your talk is mostly empty, is it because that (talk) is all you have to offer?

The clintons have their chance 8 years. People are tired from Bush and Clinton ruling this nation for 20 years. The nation is heading in the wrong direction. Imagine another 4 years of hillary we will all be relocted to china to work for cheap labor she is going to sign up for another NAFTA. Watch out people.

A vote for Hillary is a Vote for Freedom and Democracy. I really don't know what a vote for Obama means. All I know is that I don't like him.
can't give you a reason, but I don't like him. I'll think of a reason later.

May you'll think of a reason why "A vote for Hillary is a Vote for Freedom and Democracy" too!!!!!
LOL!LOL!LOL!LOL!

Ohio for OBAMA!!!!!!
No more Clintons!!!

Tonto   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

These Hillary desperados have no clue. She can whine and gripe but we will speak tomorrow especially here in TX. She is loathed and I cannot fathom her getting close by five points to Obama. Go Obama.

Jon   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Please Hillary, win win win, can't wait to see a a total deadlocked convention and the the Clintonistas pulling out every dirty trick in the book to snare superdelagtes. Oh , the promises She will make. Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap, Go Billary.

An Agnostic Democrat   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Do any of Hillary's supporters realize that even IF she "wins", she will only have a net gain of 4 – maybe 10 at the most – delegates unless it's a blowout for her which is highly unlikely. Keep wishing though … you've been had again! Nice waste of your time and money but that's what you get when you invest (get used by) in ruthless white trash who made good for themselves (the Clintons) by screwing everyone (sometimes literally in Bill's case) in their path to power.

Hill Girl   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Senator Obama IS NOT INEVITABLE! SENATOR CLINTON is in the race and represents a CHOICE. This has hardly been a landslide vote for Senator Obama. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS FOR THE NOMINATION…….Half the voters WANT HILLARY.

Germann   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Hillary and Bill are two of the most dishonest and unscrupulous people in politics today. Who else would rent out the Lincoln Bedroom for contributions, take money from off -shore Chinese, and make a $100,000 in a few days with someone else’s money.

Beverly   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Obama is beginning to look as bad as Bush when when he quotes the wrong person voting on Iraq and the wrong committee leader, also his comment on trade and giving the Canadians the wink wink.
He is slipping up, he can't slide by too much longer.

Obama slipping and sliding!!!!!!!

kate   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Daniel   March 3rd, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Look, its going to be a TIGHT RACE on Tuesday. The most intriguing thing to watch will be Barack's boost by unexpected voters, as has happened in previous states and boosted his lead. The "Likely" voters in most of these polls are seniors and those who have voted in previous elections, not all the new voters coming to the table this year. I find that most polls are bogus.

gene   March 3rd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

The last two polls coming out of Ohio had Hillary 51 to 44 and the other 52-40 Hillary. The media tries to be cute, they combine, and as always most of them are wrong. The Texas poll is going to be a good example. They had her down in California by 13 and she wins by 10 and almost the same in Arizona, except there she was up only a little, but improved very in the election. The point I make here is that the polling media has a little trouble when dealing with large minority votes. In Texas, Hispanic are coming out in record numbers as well as the black vote, but the difference is Texas is 35.7% Hispanic and 11.8% black. The media keeps tounting the large urban areas that are going to deliver a hugh blac vote. In each one of these areas the Hispanics are 10% to 20% higher in population. Now in the Rio Grande Valley the Hispanic population is 88.6% and that only leaves 11.4% for us whites, asians and blacks.

Tony   March 3rd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Hillary, is like the bully in the playground, who meet someone stronger, all of a sudden, the bully want total and complete understanding and sympathy. Or how about this one… The thief getting angry because someone stole from them, the very thing they stole. I have a better one yet… The tantrum throwing baby in the super market not getting what they want. Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, nuff said…

Just a caution for Harvard grad Barack. I like you. something really basic disturbs me. Speak decent English. You are being quoted with bad english and you have alot of young supporters.
"I think she has got a little desperate toward the end of this campaign," Obama told ABC in an interview set to air Monday night.
You can do better.. please

blake andrew   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

to you feminist out there you people should vote with you head and not your gender tie. am sick of you people trying very hard to put a woman president. she is not qualify not because she is a woman but because she is dishonest and stayed with a cheaters and can not even realease her tax return. women out there who think it is o.k to play the gender role , but it is taboo for obama to even talk about race is the biggest fairy tales i have ever heard. give me a break. hillary will loose and she can keep her experience and her dishonesty to her selve becos american does not care about that. i will not vote for her if she win the nomination. change is what we need obama 08 cnn i hope u post this message cos u people alway put my message on moderation.

Steve   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Hillary cannot win without ripping the party apart and discouraging millions of young, first time voters. The party leaders need to step in and break up this pointless fight. Obama is the people's favorite and should be the nominee.

Abe   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Maybe this will tell Obama that the race is not over. Obama needs to realize that to achieve positive change you need experience. In other words you need to know how to make the cake first before you can change the way it is made.

Sarah King   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

I don't see Hilary sitting on Capitol Hill as to which she was elected to do. I remember her saying during her campaign for senator that if elected to the senate she wouldn't run for president . CLINTONS LIE

Trev   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Obama says one thing about NAFTA then tells the Canadians that he is just trying to win an election. People in Ohio have you figured out. You can't be pro-NAFTA to Canada and expect us to believe that you will try to fix NAFTA at home.

Hillary 08

vh   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

If Hilliary becomes the nominee, I will not vote in november. I would just let what happens. happen. OBAMA 08

LJ   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

A president is not the same as a doctor. The job of a political leader is also to inspire.
And what is it about that idea that Hillary is 'experienced'? Only because she was the wife of a president? Actually, look at her record as a politician: It's pretty unimpressive, just as her failed campaign, which brings to mind: If she cannot manage a political campaign, will she able to manage this country? I doubt it.
Moreover, she is uninspiring, fake, lacking sincerity: a phoney. That is not what I want in the White House.
At the end of the day, Obama is as experienced as Clinton -if not more- and a much better politician and leader.

marge   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Hillary has held ONE elected office…..What's her vast experience????

Where's her TAX Returns?????

WE SHOULD VOTE FOR THE PERSON THAT BEST REPRESENTS THE GOOD IN US. THAT, FOR CERTAIN ,IS NOT HRC.
WE ARE ONE.
WE ARE OBAMA.

AJ, IL   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Great more poll data {sarcasm}! How come no discussion is ever given to certain mainstream polls after the actual primary and/or caucus?

In Virginia (Feb. 12th) the last poll had Obama ahead of Hillary by 17%, actual end result Obama wins over Hillary by 29%.

In Wisconsin (Feb. 19th) the average of the last two polls which were 2-days apart had Obama leading Hillary by 2%, actual end result Obama wins over Hillary by 17%.

Hopefully this trend will continue tomorrow!

Obama in 08!

Christina   March 3rd, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Hillary is a proven, tested leader with plans for how she'll achieve agenda for this nation. Obama has only words and inspiration – like any other motivational speaker. PLEASE – EVERYONE – you are truly electing a president in the upcoming primaries – it's that important! Vote for the person who can actually deliver on what she says – GO HILLARY!!!!!

E A Bodnar   March 3rd, 2008 12:35 pm ET

These polls and the media anaylists that are attempting to predict the outcome of this election (and all those in the past) are frustrating to me. I don't want to hear how many other people might want my candidate; I just want to hear about the issues, potential policies and ideals of the candidates. The numbers are bull…. and they tend make illiterate voters swing towards a candidate with slighter higher numbers without knowing the issues, just the percentages. Why the media continues this game I am not sure but I do know it is not a public "service."

Tony   March 3rd, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Chris   March 3rd, 2008 12:34 pm ET

If Hillary is honest, she would release her tax return. Seems like she is all talk but no substance.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. DON'T VOTE FOR ANOTHER FRAUD LIKE BUSH. Clintons donors will be no different than Bush's donors. If Clinton wins, there will be another 4 years of Bush.

Judging from her campaign, we know Hillary can't manage her campaign let alone the whole country. Obama's campaign is a lot more organized and stable. I for one, am voting for Obama because he have exhibited experience and maturity unlike Clinton who was negative from the beginning.

Lets wake up and not elect another Clinton or Bush (BUSH = CLINTON)

Obama is going to change the country.

Oh God Please! NotObama!   March 3rd, 2008 12:34 pm ET

When I think of the "possibility" that Clinton might not win the nomination, I then feel like I need to be committed to the Democratic party and vote for a Democrat (Obama) in November because I don't want to vote for a Republican. But Obama's inexperience in foreign relations and national securities issues scares me. And what scares me even more are the people backing Obama. I sure don't want to be part of that cult. So like it or not, McCain would be my likely choice. HILLARY '08

V from St. Louis   March 3rd, 2008 12:34 pm ET

In these final days of the HRC Campaign, you don't expect her to go quietly into the night do you? It's sad she is willing to pull the Democratic party down with her. I just want this to be over so we can focus on November…

Obama 08!

Damian   March 3rd, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Barack Obama needs to watch his back. I'm still puzzle by the fact he has not sealed the deal with Democrats. Is it the strengh of Hillary's candidacy or does it have to do more with the questions of Barack's inexperience? I think that is the true story of what is happening in Ohio and Texas. Both candidates have had weeks to campaign there but Barack is still struggling to appeal to Hispanics and blue-collar workers. I think Barack Obama is going to have a lot of trouble picking up the Clinton support base in Nov. over John McCain. If Barack can not show in Ohio it is bad for him in the general.

Louie   March 3rd, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Time has come for a true decision. Make the right one. I hope it is Hillary you are thinking about. She can deliver good promises she did for New York and now as the president of the United States. Go Hillary. Voten para Hillary.

Gary   March 3rd, 2008 12:32 pm ET

You Obama voters will regret it if he makes office.When are world gets took over by race and it falls hard dont whine.I see 50s-60s repeating itself but worst.He has already started dividing our countries people.We will have the worst civil war this country ever seen. You want change you will get it ,but not what your expecting. You knocked and slammed the only one that was qualified to be leader.I dont feel sorry for this country when it falls.You Americans decided to vote in a canadate with nothing to show but a big mouth. He will sell us out like hes buying you voters. concern viet nam vet .God help us all

LisaMpls   March 3rd, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Keep it up, Team Hillary! I am very excited to see who the voters in TX, RI, OH and VT embrace tomorrow.

It is close in TX, according to the polls. TX voters, I love your state and am there as much as I can visiting my brother and various relatives. I wish I could have made it down there recently to support Hillary and talk with many of you about why I think she is best person for TX and the best person for our country. Have fun with your primary and caucus! I hope people can make it to the caucus like they will the primary.

Hillary will be on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight if anyone is interested.

Why Hillary?
1. She lifts Economy
2. She can deal with the mess in USA
3. She is well known around the world
4. She doesn't build MOVIE – STAR imagine like Obama

America open your eyes and wake up if you don't want to have situation like in Latin America. This country is going down. Choose the right president Clinton!

Krissy   March 3rd, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Hillary NEEDS big wins to stay in the race! Less than 65% in Texas AND Ohio, and it is mathematically impossible for her to win the nomination. She is desperate, and that brings out her worst.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!

Anonymous   March 3rd, 2008 12:31 pm ET

I find it interesting that, despite every major news organization stating that it is "mathmatically impossible" for Clinton to win the nomination, she continues to divide the party. I firmly believe that, if the shoe were on the other foot, some "delegation" or "committee" of "influencial party members" would ask Obama to "gracefully" bow out.

Tommy O, Grand Rapids MI   March 3rd, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Good lord, both of these people are appalling candidates that will destroy this nation and make a mockery of us to the world. Pull your idealist heads out and look at the world as it is, not as a fairy tale should be place. Neither of these people have the ability to deal with this. If CNN and the other media hounds would cover the other candidates (there really are others!) you would see and hear meaningful and informed points of view on the world. McCain may still not be the best available, but he is the best running.

Sharlene Williamson   March 3rd, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Smart people vote for Hillary!
She's got experience, connections, and has every local, national, and international leader on speed dial. She's the one I want answering the phone at 3 in the morning. Not some scary preacher-like young guy who has absolutely no foreign policy under his belt.
Go Hill!

Todd, OH   March 3rd, 2008 12:30 pm ET

I am a lifelong Democrat. If Obama wins tomorrow and gets the Nomination, I will not vote this year.

People of OH / TX and beyond – please do the right thing tomorrow – I beg of you – please. Please vote for the person with the most experience and who is ready on day 1 to lead us forward. Bring our ecomony back and bring more jobs to us again. Please – make that vote for Hillary.

This country's future is at stake here. It's up to you. This is Hillary's last chance. Please cast the right vote. I am.

Oren Ovadia, California   March 3rd, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Charlotte   March 3rd, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Sure glad the backroom deal with the Canadians broke today. His top advisor told the Canadians not to pay attention to what Obama said on the campaign trail regarding NAFTA, he dosen't mean it, it's just words to get votes.

Willie   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Shame on CNN for giving extensive coverage to the Clinton and the Repbulican campaigns while more or less ignoring Obama's. CNN has has now become another Fox. My friends and I increasingly switching to the other network for fair coverage of the campaigns.

sky   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

I've grown tired of the back and forth to be honest and hopefully Tuesday will make things more clear.

J. McKinney SW MO   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Well, my comment was kicked out again! Just as dozens of pro Hillary comments apparently are.
I said that the media is finally starting to be half-way fair to Hillary, instead of favoring Obama so much, but I am afraid it will be "too little, too late". I sure h ope Hillary wins big in all states tomorrow. GO, HILLARY!

moderators, please don't delete this comment. Thanks.

Rose   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Bill Clinton says, "If one candidate acts on your fears and the other offers hope and makes you think, you should go for the one that offers you hope and makes you think. Sounds like Bill is endorsing Obama.

Marlene   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Can anyone really name major examples of Clinton's experience that she so proudly espouses? She did some campaigning 30 years ago, worked for a law firm part time where she didn't really work on any of the issues she claims are so important to her, she published some articles in law journals, dubiously traded some money, fired the White House travel office to try and give the jobs to her Arkansas cronies, ran for office in a state where she never even lived but saw she could take advantage of, and has served 7 years in the Senate but hasn't really lead and major legislation. She's also shown time and time again that she can't work with people. Why would I want *that* in the most powerful position in the country?

Paul Naranjo   March 3rd, 2008 12:29 pm ET

george oldham   March 3rd, 2008 12:27 pm ET

Once again the news media's are busy trying to manipulate the American voter,lead of course by the Clinton news channel CNN. This entire weekend and so far today you people have given Hilary a great deal of free air time and very little to Barack. You have been bringing up the Resko story about every 15min. or so yet you have not been talking about Hilary's refusal to release her tax returns or the fact that the Clinton's told the National archives not to release Clinton's paper's till after the election or about all the crocked fundraisers that the Clinton's were connected with even the ones that Bill pardoned. I thought the job of the news was to invest gate news story and report the NOT to create the news.
It is clear to me that you people don't really care about your viewers opinions so I'm going to put this on every blog in the country that i can find.

LLKing   March 3rd, 2008 12:25 pm ET

We went to see Hillary in person on Sunday in CSU, in Ohio.

Hillary is awesome. She has caring warm heart for the American people. She is very creative and has clear solutions. She has solid plans and capabilities to get things done.

John Glenn is one of the greatest heroes. We admire John Glenn for his brave deeds and noble qualities. He is supporting Hillary Clinton, that’s mean Hillary is simply the best candidate who will bring all kinds of successes to this country and accomplish many great things for American people.

Be smart American people. This country need revived with a leader whose life has been blessed by all goodness from the Lovely God.

We love America. God Bless Hillary Clinton all the way! God Bless America!

LL King from American Trust Bank in OHIO

B. Smart   March 3rd, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Hillary will Have to win by Huge margins. Very Unlikely.

A Patriot   March 3rd, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Clinton was my seventh choice among the Democrats and Obama was my fourth. The best people running were eliminated, as usual, by Iowa and New Hampshire. I will vote for Obama in the Texas Primary tomorrow. Republicans and Conservatives are hoping we'll all select Clinton, who is the candidate they prefer. A Clinton candidacy will rally Conservatives, who would vote for anybody if they are running against a Clinton.

If Obama is nominated, many moderatge Republicans will vote for him. Both Obama and Clinton would have the same goals and focus on the same issues. Both have IQs larger than yours and mine added together. The differences are minimal.

Vote strategically.

Wayne   March 3rd, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Obama….. EXPOSED !!!! GO Hillary …. 08

jp/michigan   March 3rd, 2008 12:22 pm ET

When I go to the doctor, I do not want to get the one who inspires hope in me that she/he can cure what's wrong, but one who knows what to do the minute I call. It's not the job of a public servant to inspire , but to get the job that people demand done. The democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired things will get better, but they actually won't. Experience, strength , intreity and substance will get the job needed to be done. Vote Hillary '08

"He cautioned that this messaging should not be taken out of context and should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans."
In other words "Don't believe anything us liberals say" it is only retorical.

Jeff Spangler, Arlington, VA   March 3rd, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Either way, the Dems will run an inexperienced and unelectable do-nothing arch-liberal Senator who cannot win in November. McCain is in unless he keels over dead in Cindy's arms on the stump.

Mark   March 3rd, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Maybe if people google search Clinton and her history, and read wht they find, the choice will be clear.

Obama '08
ABC – Anybody But Clinton

Eli   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Vote with your HEAD not your HEART. If you do that we all know Hillary Clinton will win. She know what and how to do it.
