GO OBAMA!!! WE NEED YOU!

GO OBAMA!!! WE NEED YOU!

I hate to say it, but this prolonged struggle for the Democratic nomination cannot help either candidates' chances against Sen. McCain. Rush Limbaugh makes a good point…albeit a ridiculously obvious one. I'm not only an Obama supporter, but a citizen who's had it with Republican presidencies, and I think a couple of decisive wins today for Obama should be clear enough writing on the wall for Sen. Clinton. Anyone in the four primary states who finds any of this logic convincing should also note that Obama steadily polls between 4-10 pts. better vs. McCain than does Clinton.

Hillary Clinton has worked for our country since the 60s after graduating from college,,,,She alone wrote more of our Countries LAWS PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN than any other person in history. She was named Arkansas mother of the year when she was First Lady of Arkansas because of the work she did for better education and head start programs in that state. Hillary is a real worker and a doer,,,not just someone who can deliver speeches.

By the way Hillary has a large voter turnout, and to almost tell all your viewers that she should probably step down tonight if she doesn't win
any states, then you are mad.

She has over half the people voting, so why don't you get wise in your reporting and give her a break. Half the country has voted for her, I don't think that is too shoddy.

Go Hillary

Someone commented earliar about all of the young voters that will not support "Billary" this septemebr if they win. Did it ever occur to you that the reason Hillary is still in this race is because there are many democrats that would perfer the more conservative democrat over the other???? Thats the reason I'm voting for her. Socially, she is no different than Barack, fiscally we know that its going to take another Clinton to balance that god forsaken budget. The Clintons hold the best balance! So vote for Billary!

OBAMA has turned this whole political run into a big race war!!!

So why should Hillary roll over for him, I say to her STAY until the very end fight him for every delegate that you can. Let it go to the super delegates and let them vote their own minds and wills.

Go Hillary

I am all about obama. I voted for him in wisconsin and hope he wins the nomination. However, I must admit, as a Democrat and person who does not believe 23 year olds such as my self should not die in Iraq, I'd like Hillary so much more than McCain. She would not separate the party. Only the people who say she would do so. I am young but I am not an uneducated fool. I know we need a Democrat in office and any Democrat who thinks otherwise are self interested, biased to thier candidate (rather than party) and ignorant.

ekama?

Hi Wolf
The Canadian government is under fire in parliment from the opposition parties because of this so called document that was sent out to the Hillary 's camp. They are claiming that the Stephen Harper's government is trying to influrence the out come of the American voting.

This Canadian is rooting for Obama.

The Clinton's is what this country needs!!1 The economy was great when Bill Clinton ran the country and I expect the same from Hillary Clinton. This country does not need the pied piper we need real change and experience!!!

GO Hillary

This needs to be decided NOW!! If Hillary stays in this campaign I believe this to be dangerous for Obama. Think about this, If this race remains close, and Obama wins by a short margin, which is very likely, Hillary will put pressure on to allow the electoral votes in Michigan and Florida. I personally don't think that they should be allowed, because the two states knew the rules before they broke them, If a special exception is made for Hilary, what is going to be the future deterrent for states not to bend the rules in the future?

However, if that strategy is successful for Hilary, it would definitely split the democratic party and squash any chance for the republicans to to work with the democrats the way the democrats would like. So, this is a make or break primary for the both of them!! How ironic.

Goes to show you that OBAMA can't do any worng for anything that he does, but because HILLARY is a fighter she is being labeled all kind of names. What do you think OBAMA would do, i think he would be doing the same, so why not call him out and give him the same treatment.

I can say this, do you think that all the hardcore supporters of HILLARY will support OBAMA for president. I can say all of my family and friends will vote for MCCAIN if OBAMA get the nomination. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, NEVER EVEN IF YOU PAID ME A MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Poor Suzy,

You make comments without even knowing what you're talking about. Clinton has been complaining for weeks that the media wasn't "playing fair." Why the hell do you think Saturday Night Live (a program produced in New York), jumped on it?
Seriously, you should get to know your candidate before you speak on her behalf. All she's done for the past 11 primaries/caucuses is complain. Oh yeah…those would be the same 11 that she's LOST!

You also fail to realize that you really have only one choice, as a Democrat, for your nominee.

If Hillary wins the nomination, Republicans, Independents and yes, even some Democrats, will come out of the woodwork to make sure we don't have another Clinton in the White House.

You've hitched your wagon to the horse that 47% of Americans say they "hate." That's not a very good start for your candidate, no matter who she's up against.

Typical Clintonesque philosophy Annamica….wasn't long ago when she said she would sweep the entire contest…the Queen simply sipping tea awaiting her God granted coronation. Sweep tonight? We'll see my dear, we shall see. By the way, that would mean winning all four contests.

To Nancy in Ohio… Please tell me what is so appealing about Hilary Clinton. She is a nasty piece of work that will do anything, walk over anyone, bribe anyone, threaten anyone, just to get what she believes is hers.

If you think she cares about you people in Ohio then you are sadly mistaken. You will be as forgotten just like the people in New Orleans. Tomorrow it will be the people of Pennsylvania that she will be conning. You will be an afterthought.

Vote for Hilary!. She gets things done! Go for a female power!

I was a true supporter of the Clinton's and stood in line in Berkeley to get a book signed by Bill. Today, it saddens me that I was blinded by their greed among other things. I will NEVER vote for a CLINTON again. She has truly disgusted me in the past days and I hope that she lose Texas, and Vermont. If by chance she does get the party nomination, I will either vote for McCain or not at all. I cannot stomach her in the White House again.
So Disappointed in CA

Why is CNN giving out exit poll info? Are the trying to fix the election in texas. I thought it was the law, news media couldn't give out exit polls till polls close. Cnn has crown obama "KING" America is lost.

The thing is Wolf. You and the MSM concocted this battle and because of the huge ratings its been giving, you have decided to trash Obama this week in order to keep the momentum going. It's a shame that you and the Clintons are hell bent on dividing this country after the past 30 years of privilege and dynasty.
I'm personally appalled.

I will love to agree with Wolf that the democratic race is tight .But when its all over Americans will be proud of making history if only super delegates do the right thing by choosing the peoples choice.

I am a retired, disable, combat veteran and a black man that was born in Mississippi. I have long struggled with my choice of supporting Hillary or Obama. As a black man I really want to see a black president in my life time, but as an American citizen who fought for this country, was injured for this country and love this country, I am supporting Hillary.

She is the best the best choice. She has the experience, will and determination to lead this country. We are in two wars, our econony is down in the dirt and we are hated around the world because our courrent president and his crew
.
We need someone with experience not someone that needs on the Job Training. As much as I would like to see a Black man in the white house, I will not put what I want above the needs of my country and we nee Hillary.

Just an old Soldier thoughts…

If the delegates from Florida and Georgia do not count doesn't that lower the total number of delegates needed to nominate ?

This race is getting very intense and it's gonna be hard if Obama loses because then I'll have to either pick Hillary or McCain. I certainly don't like McCain because he wants a continued presence in Iraq for 100 years!!! If that's the case then I'll be 119 years old and we'll still be there God forbid. I support Obama because he's one of "us" (in terms of being young, refreshing, black and all that good stuff) with new ideas and hopefully will lead us into a better direction than Mr. Bush ever thought he would. And yes I think Hillary is snobby and is a dirty politician. Either way I want a democrat in the White House even if it's not Obama.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain are examples of what's wrong with Washington. Her Karl Rove type of ads to scare people into voting for her. Everyone is ready for a change form the same old dirty politics of the past.

Dirty politics - dirty words - I am so sick of all of the hatred. For Hillary to sell out her party - shame on her.

Keep believing… YES WE CAN!

Obama '08

To everyone saying "oooooh the republicans want hillary to win thats why im an obama blah blah blah" bs…
WHY Do you think the republicans are saying that? GEEEE if obama wins the nomination mccain is going to stomp him. they know hillary can actually win in november against mccain instead of obama.

hey wolf .
Just wondering how quick CNN is going to call the race for Obama ….So that you all can trash Hillary some more …..I Hope soon that i can go back to watching American Idol ….shame shame on the networks

You are a complete bozo, Wolf - always have been. This notion that Hillary still has a chance really amuses me. The math speaks for itself. The press takes whatever the Clinton campaign throws at them. I mean, how many times can she lower the bar for this round of primaries? She was up big time in both states just a few weeks ago. Now, it's a virtual toss-up. The press needs to call a spade a spade and in the process, declare her campaign dead with no chance for resuscitation.

Update your site for crying out loud. There are 3 Republicans in the running..Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, John McCain. You call this a news site but fail to report accurately.

I DONT WANT TO GO BACK TO IRAQ. PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA 2008. IT'S OUR LIVES WE ARE VOTING FOR.

I have a question for CNN:

Hillary Clinton didn't have a great debate last Tuesday….since that day CNN doesn't stop to show her any moment of her nasty campaign, talk about her, HER HER HER. I have good and personal reasons for not supporting her, PLEASE I ask you to respect people who doesn't want her as a president, It is not possible to see her face and her mean way to conduct this Campaign any moment we turn on TV

When you select a president, you're looking for someone who will be able to provide the best experience and judgement in the next four years.

Who is that more likely to be? Someone who has had years and years of experience, has succeeded AND failed in many things, has the "battle wounds", has made mistakes, and has made good things happen.

Or someone who is new, who has good ideas, and may not have made any major mistakes at all yet?

Obviously, the first one is better! They may not be as likeable generally b/c of past mistakes, or b/c they have changed their mind on things (AKA, learned their lesson). But BECAUSE that is true, they know what to be aware of, and are more cautious every step of the way.

The new inexperienced candidate may overlook something critical that the newbies always fall for, resulting in a BAD situation.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!

I am truly surprised and shocked by the comments here re Hillary. If I were a Dem, she would be definitely be my choice. She has feasible, do-able plans for her issues. She is a much better candidate than Obama. I try to look at things from all sides. She has a much better understanding of foreign policy and the workings of these United States. Obama is too cult like and has too many questionable ties. Please, Dems, think. Reason.

I am a Republican although I don't necessarily vote that way if I think someone else is better.

If McCain and Hillary are on the ballott in Nov, I seriously do not know for whom I will vote.
If it's McCain and Obama, it's McCain, hands down.
If it's Huckabee and anybody else, Huckabee gets my vote.

Not so dumb after all!!!

Oh, you poor saps in the media! Too blind to see it coming, weren’t you. Well, as someone who has not been turned into a complete idiot by generations of punditry, I knew this was coming. Just didn’t know y’all ‘d be suckered in so bad.

Pooooooor Hillary! Oh, how the press has treated her sooooo unfairly. What? Did anyody actually question it? Well, of course for the first few days. But go back over all the interviews, press releases and conference calls by the Clinton camp. Just how many times (per hour) did they spew the poor Hillary crap. Again, and again, and again, and again… until you saps actually believed it! Amazing. People with decades of experience covering campaigns and you still couldn’t see the obvious. Which is…

OBAMA HAS BEEN TREATED WELL BECAUSE HE RUNS A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN, IS DECENT TO EVERYONE ELSE, AND SIMPLY DOESN’T HAVE VERY MUCH GARBAGE TO DIG UP.

Hello, NO ONE has been kind to the Clinton camp because they have USED everyone they possibly could, lied continually, and fed the press with a delusion followed by an ever-changing goal post.

And after all that…. Shame on you all!!!

Clinton has 20 Rezko’s. Most of them are already in jail. She still is using much of their money (Obama gave away any money remotely related to Rezko, Clinton… well not so much). A no-go suddenly has become front page SIMPLY BECAUSE LITTLE MISS “I’LL DO ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED” HAS BEEN LYING LYING LYING. Did Clinton somehow forget that she and Obama are on the same team? Remember… the Democratic Party? Oh, I guess they aren’t in her little narcissistic world.

Once upon a time, I loved the Clintons. I defended them more often than I care to remember. And I am DISGUSTED by what they are doing to “their” Democratic Party. But I’m even more disgusted by so-called political experts who jump and coo over Hillary. And if they stop drooling, she just pulls out the “you’re picking on me” threats. Politicos should have the common decency to check their facts before they become the wagged to the Clinton tail.

You've been had.

Gary: You must not read much. Obama is not a blue collar worker, but has sold 2 books, one of which is now a multi-million dollar seller! He made money from the sale and bought the house. Next, his wife Michelle made over $240,000 a year before she took a leave of absence to do the president thing. Get youor facts straight and stop thinking that every person of color is poor!
And for the woman who doesn't trust Obama - you probably wouldn't have trusted Moses or Jesus either. Tell me, do you have trust issues with MEN?????
I don't. I know a good one when I see him!
Vote Obama 08!

Hey Wolf! I am extremely excited about this process. It really does feel that more people are involved, and nobody can say that's a bad thing in a democracy.

I wanted to move away from your original post though and wanted to say thank you to CNN for adding the County-by-County map that John King has always been able to "play" with! I've been wanting the map since New Hampshire!

The Media Loves To Interject Race Into Obama's Description. Hey Wolf, You KNOW He's 1/2 White TOO? Talk About "A Racial Bias"! People GET OVER IT & Report Correctly! Why not ask Sen. Obama who belongs to a "Christian" congregation With A Non-Negotiable Commitment To Africa" & ideals to "Remain True To his Native Land, The Mother Continent, Africa".

Shouldn't the president of the US have A Non-Negotiable Commitment to America as well as "Remaining true ONLY to America, the land he wants to govern? Why hasn't that been brought up? You "could blame the racist behavior on his white genes", because Nobody would dare attack an "African American" for racism or for being unpatriotic! How many people "really Know his "Christian Church & their beliefs"? Check them out before you vote, you may be surprised!

Devon, but you can vote for a man who lied about his stance on Nafta? Sounds like Obama hypocrisy to me…

BTW, Hillary will sweep tonight!

Not necessarily.

There are not enough "non-super" delegates left for either Obama or Clinton to make the 2,025 mark. We the voting public have not spoken decisively enough to guarantee our choice will win on the first ballot. It's really up to the superdelegates to make the final selection.

If Clinton does OK today and still thinks she can go on, we might get two damaged candidates at the convention. In that case, the party could draft, say, Al Gore or John Edwards.

I know the press likes to play today like a decisive day but the better analogy is that is it Game 5 of the World Series and the teams are tied at 2 games apiece. (For those who don't follow baseball, it takes 4 games to win the World Series, and being up 3 games to 2 is obviously better than being down 2 games to three.)

As Bill Clinton himself said in the 2004 election - if one candidate is playing to your fears and one to your hopes, you better vote for the candidate speaking to your hope!

Clinton cannot win this nomination without superdelegates overturning the pledged delegate count, which will not happen. So she should get out. She does not have a moral claim on this nomination just because she is a Clinton. She has shown through her attacks on Obama that she doesn't care about the party or the country - only her own political futures!

Check out the news pages on both Obama and Clinton's websites. Clinton's news page is all attacks on Obama, while Obama hardly mentions Clinton at all in his news page. THIS is the change we are talking about - no more old-school petty attack politics!!

As a Canadian, many of us in our country feel that NAFTA has not been all that benificial to our country in terms of job creation (mixed results) . It was President Reagen who started this initiative which resulted in the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) which set the foundation for NAFTA (with the inclusion of Mexico). American jobs that have been lost are not the result of jobs moving up to Canada but more resulting from some job movement to Mexico (job conditions that Canadians are experiencing). Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have made the NAFTA Agreement a big political issue in Ohio (major job losses) but let's not forget that Texas has benefited from NAFTA. I think most Americans know that the current negative conditions that exist within your manufacturing sector (including Canada's manufacturing sector) are the result of major job movement to countries like China, India etc.). Candidates from both the Republican and Democratic Party, seem to be capable, qualified and honorable individuals, however, can Americans tolerate another 4 or 8 years with a President who has the least experience from the current choice of candidates!!!

I was hoping for John Edwards to beat Hillary the deciever so that It would be an OBAMA / EDWARDS ticket. John Edwards should give is vote to Barack
Obama and Obama should choose John as a running mate.

OBAMA / EDWARDS 08.

Hillary didn't cry "unfair media coverage"!!!! She never said that.
Because it was obvious to any one who was watching the news stations, Saturday Night Live correctly portrayed "unfair media coverage" on their own.
And fortunately, it was acknowledged!
So, it didn't come from the Clinton camp.

And to others, I wouldn't be so sure that Obama could beat McCain - he doesn't seem to be holding up well under this recent bout of MILD pressure. How would he handle SERIOUS pressure, either from the Republicans OR worse, when he's president! He has had an easy ride with very little scrutiny. Hillary's past ghosts or skeletons have been aired many years ago. And most of those weren't hers.
She just keeps on ticking…….and I for one admire her strength and courage to keep on ticking.

Tim said: "If Clinton faces McCain, the best she can do is break even. (RCP poll shows Clinton with 46.0% of the vote to McCain's 46.2%) That's a win for the Republicans.

If Obama faces McCain, he bests him by at least 5%. (RCP poll shows Obama with 47.3% to McCain's 42.7%) Some polls show Obama winning by as much as 12%. That's a win for Democrats."

Tim…we've certainly learned how accurate the polls are and that we can always place our trust in their reliability.

Texas is our Country..As a latino I am voting for HIllary as most of my people are.

Hi, I just got a phone call from a friend in Texas. I wonder what is going on with the Texas caucus. Seems like obama supporters are handing out caucus forms and collecting caucus signatures now (in the day time) before 7pm. This is against party rule!! No caucus vote could be casted before 7pm , and not when the voter does not physically show up at the voting location!!! This is the kind of "new politics" are can believe in?? This is the kind of hope we can believe in?? This is the "Florida 2000″ Shame on you, obama

I use to like Hillary, but no longer, due to dirty antics. If she is like this trying to get the nomination: then God help us should she win.

god helpthe

Even if Hillary does win the democratic nomination, she will undoubtedly lose the general election to McCain. She is far too polarising; the political landscape has changed. Both McCain and Obama can lure independent votes, and neither need to rely soley on their parties support. Hillary will not win a single independent vote in a general election, but McCain will take them all. So, Obama is the dem's only realistic hope of winning the whitehouse come November.

Hell yeah I voted for Hillary!

On to the caucus…there will be no out-maneuvering…not this time.

Wolf,

There is simply NO scenario in which Hillary could blow away Obama's pledged delegate lead. This is true even if she wins all four states today and all 16 remaining states! If she does ALL OF THAT, Obama still leads by 50 odd pledged delegates.

Look at Jonathan Alter's article ('Hillary's Math Problem') on Newsweek. It's an eye opener.

So what exactly is the scenario that you envision for Hillary's winning the pledged delegates???

I am a young vote. However, Obama's change message make me nervous. Why americans want change? We do not want change from good to bad. We want keep US strong and powerful. Scrap Obama's bad change idea. let's go solid progress from Clinton. Do not vote for Obama.

Obama has a cult like following. Big turn off.
Hillary is much more sensible. Appealing.
McCain is not a true conservative. Turn off.
Huckabee - the only real change from 'politics as usual'. Could a brokered convention be in the offing? Appealing.

voting
You cannot vote in Linden or Hughes Springs Texas becuase the machines are broken and the guy who is trained to fix them is running for office. and they have no paper backup, they said they dont have to have a paper backup

by bubbame at 3/4/2008 5:18:15 PM

i'm wondering why medias don't discuss the skin manipulation of the clinton campaign on their last ad. it's obviously that they manipulated the skin of barack obama to look darker and so playing with fears!

Has Wolf Blizer been promised the position of press secretary if Hillary should become president.? His news coverage is shamefully biased. He is supposed to be neutral in his reporting. When he and Lou Dobbs on the air, I switch to MSNBC or even Fox. Jack Cafferty, in my opinion is fair. I enjoy his comments. This is American Wolf. Give me a break. Respect everyone's opinion.

Mandharmas pointed out very well…why media ( CNN+FOX) covered all morning only Hillary views ???

Obama is under attack because he has been open and transparent with the voters and now he is getting criticized for it. However voters will vote for Obama because they know what we are getting! Hillary on the other side is telling voters what they want to hear and after nomination will do same old, just like her Bill. In 1992 Bill sang the song about the economy, workers, and healthcare. What did we get? We got shipment of jobs oversees at the expense of our hardworking and skilled workers, we got all talk about healthcare and no actions and Bill blaming republicans for his broken promises. Maybe it is time for Clintons to take responsibilities for their failures and not play blame game again. Do we want another four years of partisanship and animosities in Washington? People are sick of waiting!!!!! Vote for Change and give America a chance and new beginning!

I was an obama supporter until i really started to listen to the victimology of what the Obamas teach. Why does Michelle make speeches and act like she was born in the turn of the century? She and her husband talk a lot of being a victims! If the obamas are in their fourtys, then that means they grew up in 1970s and 80s! …. They got all kinds of help growing up. I just got real turned off by the whole look at me I'm a victim speech.
So i woke up…. I don't want to be helping a movement of victim's like our country owes the Obamas something !
Like our country needs to be run by victims crying about it all the time,…. eek I hope not!
That all Americans should now pay for the sins of the south.
I thought that is why Lincoln had us fight the Civil War! Hundreds of thousand died. Didn’t they?
I think pamyment has been payed in full.

hillary supporters are a bunch of clowns–racist, uninformed, superstitious, in denial. they should stop pretending to be democrats and switch parties already.

let's face it, the clintons are republicans.

we need a NEW democratic party.

'08AMA

Of course the media wants the wild ride to go on. Look at all of the money they raked in in ads over the last week. They would like that to continue until November.

Political advertising on tv should be FREE (and limited to some reasonable amount in the primary and general election with all canidates getting the same exposure). It is the publics airwaves after all.

For all of the free speech advocates… send mail, email, billbords, print ads, etc.

I hope that the candidate is settled today and for the sake of the Democratic party it is Obama.

Clinton = McCain
Obama is giving us some hope…we feel and we hope

Hillary must fight by any means to win this election! I believe she is a woman that has endured the profound and public shame of a philandering husband and stayed married to Bubba despite his repeated humilation of her womanhood. She MUST fight this one to the end. Think about it, the ONLY reason she stayed with her straying hubby Bubba was for her eventual chance for the presidency. No wonder she is using 'kitchen sink' tactics. This is a fight for redemption for all those years of personal suffering. Her tactics would certainly outshine the anti-obama Republican smear campaign because her struggle is personal.

Do you realllly believe she just wants to serve the American People?
She is on this one for personal redemption and accomplishment.

For this reason I can't count her out even if she pulls out 1/4 tonite. She is going to fight using whatever tactics she can conjure up from her pestilential cauldron.

Obama please offer her no concessions when you become president of this great nation. Forgive her for her nastiness, but watch your back.

CNN you are pathetic! You report rumours like truths. You have no sense of discernment and you do a great disservice to the world! But what do you care about TRUTH!! - JUST AS LONG AS YOU GET VIEWERSHIP THAT TRANSLATE TO MONEY!! CNN SHOULD BE OFF THE AIR!! SHAME ON YOU CNN - SHAME ON YOU. Keep propagating your lies - you're a disgrace to honorable journalism.

Hill Girl said:

Hillary is not just a tenacious fighter - she is a DARN GOOD CANDIDATE!

She's also:

A darn good liar.
Darn good at fooling the simple minded of this country.
Darn good at evading questions.
Darn good at refusing to show her tax returns.
Darn good at supporting the war…oh wait, not supporting the war…oh wait…supporting the war.
Darn good at supporing NAFTA…oh wait, not supporting NAFTA…oh wait…supporing NAFTA…

I can't keep up.

I don't understand why anyone says that either candidate has to drop out if there hasn't been a majority achieved by either of them at this time. Both of them have millions of Americans who have supported them. Both of them have the right to keep working for the nomination until the decision is made. It is poppycock to say that their staying in a dramatic and tense struggle will hurt the Democratic Party in the general election in the fall. The longer this goes on the less the press will pay attention to McCain and the more the eventual winner will look like a winner. I say 'go Hillary' and 'go Barak'. It is a democratic process that is reinvigorating politics in the U.S. and I say keep it going.

ohio loves hillary

Billary is a good politician….not a good presidential candidate. There is a difference Hill Girl.

it's semi-ironic that February is "Black History Month" and Obama got 11 straight victories post-Super Tuesday. And yet, March is "Women History Month" and we might see a major comeback for Clinton.

Wolf,

As an admirer of yours I am truly disappointed. Why don't you just save us all the bull and just put "Vote Hillary" at the top of all of your articles. It's a shame how the media has become. It's clear what you believe. Unless you are staking claim for McCant, which appears to be so. I have been reading your stuff daily, and maybe you should try to stop making news just to have material. CNN is declining terribly from favoritism. You are like Cavuto at this point.

I speak for no one but myself: one way or another, it's time for all this to be resolved.

Hillary is not just a tenacious fighter - she is a DARN GOOD CANDIDATE!

First, I agree with all who say that Hillary would not hesitate to stomp the will of the people and steal the nomination if she could, then rub it in our faces by THANKING the very people she did it to.

Fact is she's lost 11 races in a row, and even if she wins Ohio and Rhode Island tonight, it won't cut too much into Obama's lead. As a Democrat, would you feel comfortable nominating someone who has done as poorly as Hillary this primary season? Would you go against the will of the people, whom you claim to respect?

If so, then Washington needs a viable third party, and not just another fringe wannabe, but a real third option. Voters aren't happy with their choices, and giving them two bad choices is almost as bad as not giving them a vote at all. CHANGE NOW

OBAMA 08

One is a inexperienced hype machine.
One has a mega ego the size of Texas

the other side is a 70+ year old man who's tagged his great grand kids to be in the same war we're in now (100 years).

America's in trouble. no matter what.

move to Canada.

s.stevens,
Oh and obama doesnt have that whole racism thing going against him? Yet he has never used it as an excuse. Race wasnt even an issue in his campaign until the clintons used some blatant inuedos after he creamed them in Iowa. Come on buddy, lets get real, its a two way street, everyone has problems they need to face. Its about the who you are, and what you stand for. Excuses are for losers, and guess whos losing. Is she going to make these arguements when ahmenajad calls her a name. strong leaders get things done when it matters, what has she done when it matters, I mean shes got the experience, right?

I have been hearing this lately: "If Sen. Clinton sweeps today, it will put her right back in the race". In fact, she has to "sweep" every single state by 10 percent between right now and the convention to take a 3 delegate lead in pledged delegates. That is not a sweep, that is a complete steamroll she needs. A sweep may give her momentum and fundraising abliity, but it will not put her "right back in the race" by any means.

Look at what you've done all you democrats..

Now I have to vote for McCain because I've realized that all Democrats want to do is waste time with politics.

You can't expect to force Obama on us and have us all come together as one happy, united party … let's just have a respectful primary, allow the rest of the states to vote (and benefit from the primary dollars like the early voters), and then see what happens! A baseball game isn't called if one team is up in the 9th inning, you play it out. That way it was a fair game for everyone!

Let us hope that tonight Wolf Blitzer will have learned how to breathe. Taking a breath in the middle…….of a ….sentence is very, very. …….disturbing. And….Wolf….needs to………get his thoughts………..organized before heading……………onto the next topic. He…..comes off as if he's………not certain what to……………..do next!
But, first, to those…..breathing lessons……..Wolf. And thank you very, very …..much for that…….effort tonight on this program……..something we all appreciate…..

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrggggggggggggghhhh!

There are also many Democrats who would view McCain as a better choice if Obama were the Democrat nominee.

Wake Up CNN best political team' don't talk about Clinton should be out of this race show us that Obama will have 2025 delegates. This why media is called bias towards Obama.

Just say no to Hillary.

Obama fer sure

Why does Barrack goes to the vote on the war everytime the question of experience comes up. There are other areas where experience is very important. Like if the phone rings at 3am for a national emerigenices like a hurricane struck on the shore of a US state.
Joe

Inspiration is Great but substance and experience is better. If Obama win's I will be voting for Naider. I don't trust Obama.

Hillary Clinton for President

Hillary&Mcain represents old Washington under the table politics.
We need to clean house and field a new team. Obama is our only hope for this to happen. People that can't understant this premise must be brain dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please do not forget that voting is still a citizen's right in America. Ohio and Texas are not the last states to vote. North Carolina doesn't vote until May 6th and our votes should count as well, as should the votes from few states who succeed ours. Who is ahead is largely dependent upon the ordering of the primaries, not a candidate's overall support. North Carolina votes Clinton.

We'll fight Hillary with you, you are not alone.

OBAMA 08

If Hillary wins because of "experience", I am switching parties and voting for McCain….he undoubtably has the most "experience".

Joe said: "Maybe others will join me and write-in our true candidate, Hillary Clinton. Also, I know many many people who are tired of Obama's petulant child-like supporters and feel the same. The party is busted.

Joe….if you do this, you must accept that you are a willing participant in the party being destroyed. You are not a victim or a martyr for being a sore loser and you are not blameness. Vote how you will, but you will share in some of the responsibility for a republican being elected.
Being a punk about this doesnt help anything but your ego. Get over yourself .

RCP Poll average:

If Clinton faces McCain, the best she can do is break even. (RCP poll shows Clinton with 46.0% of the vote to McCain's 46.2%) That's a win for the Republicans.

If Obama faces McCain, he bests him by at least 5%. (RCP poll shows Obama with 47.3% to McCain's 42.7%) Some polls show Obama winning by as much as 12%. That's a win for Democrats.

So…explain to me again why Democrats would want to back Clinton? She can't beat McCain. Obama clearly can.

Hey Obama folks, the Popular vote is much much closer than the delegate count indicates. If you are truly for the notion that Super Delegates should go with the popular vote of their constituency, and the primary voting follows current patterns with Sen Clinton taking the traditionally democratic states, then Senator Clinton will end up with more of the popular vote than Senator Obama, although neither of them will have the 2,025 required without those Superdelegates that don't have a constituency (because they are party officials rather than elected officials). So the math (because of the process) is not cut and dry pluses and minuses, there are a bunch of if then elses involved. So go vote for your candidate and let's see how it all plays out at the end.

It will Be No problem, Obama WILL WIN!

t the start of this race I probably would have voted for Hillary, but as the contest continues if Obama does not win the n omination I will not vote for Hillary and threfore I would not vote for a president. I am thoroughly disgustd with th Clinton's politics

A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICANS!!

THEY HAVE ALL THE AMMUNITION THEY NEED NOW!!!!!!!!

OBAMA CHOSE TO LIE! NO ONE MADE THAT DECISION FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!

BUT THE PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE A WISE DECISION AND VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!!!

I AM! I DO NOT TRUST OBAMA!!!!!!!

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

WHERE ARE HER TAX RETURN, SHE SAID SHE WOULD RELEASE THEM BEFORE THE PRIMARY.

Sorry, but this Hilary is going for Obama!

I will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee.

Wow! Why?! That is just sad. At least if you are a Dem. Our values are FAR better represented by Clinton and Obama than JM, who I like and respect. I will be very sad if Clinton is the choice, but unlike you, I will not act like a destructive child, and I will support and vote for Clinton. If you are not a Dem, fine, but if you are, and if your values are reflected by Clinton's on normative issues, I am not at all sorry, voting for JM over Obama is an act of destruction, a voting temper-fit as it were. And it is voting like that that got us in this mess.

I can only say this: Shame on you, Hillary! All those negative ads against Obama are really disappointing. She is not a fighter, she is damaging the party. I hope this will end soon to have a chance against McCain.

It sounds like Hillary is going to have a very, very good night. I cant wait for this to come to Pennsylvania. Good-luck Mr. Obama you'll need it !
Anyone but Obama!

I wish Mitt Romney had stayed in, then the Republican race would probably be as close as the Dem's.

I also wish there were more independent and third paries running.

Three cheers for close races.

I have been verbally attacked by Obama supporters when I say I voted for Hillary Clinton and will caucus for her tonight in texas. I have to say that the aggressive and abrasive tactics of most of the obama supporters are what led to my Clinton vote. Also the fact that whenever obama is challenged on his record..etc. his answer is the political version of "whatever" that's scarey to me.
go Hillary

Dear Wa Wa Wa, check your history, it was Nixon vs. McGovern in 1972.

"I can easily envisage various scenarios that would result in a Clinton victory" - Hey WOLF, how can you envision that through the smoke-filled back room?

Im suprised,do they really have Democrats in Wyoming?I thought Dick shot them all.Ahh they must have brought them in from somewhere else, like Canada.Just kidding.lol

This is going to be like the superbowl, with wild momentum swings in the
fourth quarter. It will go to the last minute or all the way to june, as Hillary
has suggested. Unfortunately this time it will be a big upset for the favorite
going in namely the New Yorker.

Sadly, Hillary will not do what's best for the Democratic party and drop out of the race. She will spend the next few months tearing down Obama, only to lose the nomination to him in the end. And having done so, she'll give McCain plenty of time to rally the troops and forge his attacks on Obama.

If Hillary continues this desperate attempt , get ready for another four years (or more) of Republican rule.

It appears to me that an Obama/Clinton ticket is now the only way not to have a divided party in November. Sooner the better. Regardless, the negative campaigning has to stop.

Wolf, it is so clear that you are so bias for Hillary Clinton! it is so CLEAR!!!! WOLF SHAME ON YOU!!!! CNN is a JOKE!!!! with wolf and Dodds on the Clinton wagon!!!!

She has played the media, there is NO DOUBT. But, I do not whine about that, and Obama will not either. THAT is good politics on her part.

What she has done flinging any mud she can, is also working it appears tonight, but it will not create the kind of change we need. Even if she wins, we are not really moving anywhere. I don't just want to win the White House, I want to change the way we do business. I respect Clinton, but she is not at all what we need at this time. We need someone to get us past red and blue.

CNN should remove "Clinton's Last Stand." It's not!
CNN continues to cover Obama more than Clinton.
Media balanced coverage is needed.

I am wondering why the news media did not investigate further why John McCain spent this past weekend at his home, and not campaigning in Texas, as did Mike Huckabee? If Hillary had taken the weekend off, the media would've been all over this, claiming she was just too weak to endure the high pressure and scheduling of such a grueling campaign. I believe this shows that McCain is too old for the presidency-after all, if he has to take a weekend off now, how would he ever stand the rigors of the White House?

Blitzer,

tonight please do not exascerbate the situation. Report it and leave it alone. Even if Mrs. Clinton wins tonight you still need to recognize that there are millions of us who genuinely do not like her. If Obama does not win I will not impune my integrity by voting someone I do not like nor trust.

Mrs. Clinton has gone through too many extremes. She doesn't know who she wants to be. We all know she's a fighter but since she has played out the Three Faces of Eve so well over the past several months perhaps we should call her a fraud because the true Chillary is now on display.

Let's not forget that the media is the one entity that benefits when things become a "wild ride". The last thing they want is for Hillary (or Obama) to drop out. Right Wolf?

When Hillary Clinton ditched her home state of Arkansas in 2000 for New York to have an easier run for Senate it told me what she was made of.

I know what she'll do at 3am when the tough call comes. Make the easy choice, not the tough one.

CNN and the media have been all over Obama for a while, and that is fine, that is what they are supposed to do, but Clinton has played them like the Reps do. Liberal bias pushes the media against the Dems, Obama bias (or anti Clinton take your pick) pushes them against Obama. Clinton gets away with the not releasing her tax forms (nevermind that money was loaned to her campaign) and claims she is fully vetted. She claims she has faced tough Republicans in a national election. Who exactly? And her lifetime of experience includes counts, but Obama's did not begin until he came to DC. So being frist lady of a state is somehow more relevant to 3AM in the morning in the White House than being a state senator?

I respect Clinton and she is an impressive person, but the media has let her get away with a ton, and you cannot claim victim of the Republican attack maching when you play politics like this.

I know this: we will never get past blue versus red with Clinton. No chance, none at all.

I will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee.

Bravo Devon…. first post…. I couldn't have said it better…..BRAVO.

Just wondering if it were Barack Obama that had lost 11 primaries in a row, would you be saying don't count him out? No you would be saying it was time for him to get out. Common Wolf we all know who's side you are on here. Get Real!

In Response to Sean from Las Vegas's idea about Senator Clinton attempting to plot against Senator Obama to get the nomination in 2012. I think that is completely unlikely. I believe is she stays in the race and continues to attack Senator Obama causing him to lose the general election, there will be an uprise in the Democrat party. She will be seen as the spoiler, much like Nader was in the 2000 election.

I think the question is whether she (if she loses Texas or Ohio) steps down for the betterment of the Party. If Senator Mccain clinches the nomination tonight, it will and Democrats are still this divided, it will put the Republicans at a sizable advantage in November. People like solutions the can SEE, and if they can SEE the republican party united and moving forward it might take some wind out the Obama and Clinton's sail.

Just a thought.

You are so biased. You allowed your rhetoric to help get Bush elected and here you go again trying to elect McCain and get Senator Clinton defeated. Hopefully she will continue this race and not be swayed by the MEDIA and Republican swing voters to nominate Obama. Oh and yes, contrary to popular opinion - I AM A Black female from Tennessee and if Obama gets the nomination, for the 1st time since I was 18 years old - I will not vote in the 2008 election.

Wolf,

I listened to your discussion about Bush pleading to OPEC countries. I agree that we should not be pleading and instead work on alternate sources of energy. But that is a long term step. In short term, we can work on conservation. We plan better, make one trip to groccery shop instead of two, walk, use public transport.

How about this - every patriotic American has a responsibility to cut back on gas consumption by 10%. It will help USA, it will help sacrifice of our young men and women.

Hillary wont help the people of the United States.
If she wins, I'm afraid all of her supporters will be severely let down.

Obama '08

CNN = Clinton News Network.

It's all Clinton talking points, all the time.

Tomorrow's headlines?

"Clinton camp says Obama spilled coffee in 2005″

"Clinton slams Obama on overdue library book"

"Clinton teams new attack ad say Obama has terrible penmanship!"

I am 65 years old and this is the first presidential election that I have been really interested in. I always feel that my vote doesn't count, we live in the NorthWest, and the decisions are already made before we even vote, so why bother. I was for Hillary Clinton, until she refused to admit her errors in judgement. Its everyone elses fault. Barack Obama has tried to run a clean and Honest campaign. Its time that we had someone with integerity, and he has it.

Wolf, noticed how you had to compliment Obama on his struggles. How about the struggles of women?

I understand the reporters, the cable networks, the newspapers and even the independent bloggers love a great story and would love to keep this one going…

but

It's time to get serious. The steeple chase ends tonight. There will be no Clinton 3rd term. It's a newday.

Welcome to the 21st Century

Yes We Can!

Hillary's smartest strategy yet: Crying unfair coverage to media at the onset of the last debate. They bought it and have given her ALL the attention and coverage she has sought. Smart tactic.

CNN, if you're really serious about playing fairly, pay outside reviewers to evaluate and complete a public report on your coverage of the democratic candidates since the last debate.

HILLARY IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

GO HILLARY. BEAT OBAMA. BEAT CNN. BEAT FOX. YOUR A WOMAN AND WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER, EVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!

TEXAS 2 STEPPING FOR HILLARY!

There is no wasy that I would consider voting for Hillary. If she is the candidate, I am voting for McCain.

Actually last night in Anderson Cooper 360,

CNN`S several most important reporters and commentator accepted that the media did treat Hilary and Obama differently, and based on this, they discussed whatever reasons.

Any person can find out whatever reason for what he or she has done.

But there is only one reason for news —- truth.

If CCTV neglect something for political reason, then CNN for what?

I think America does well to remember that only 50% of our Presidents have had *Washington* Experience - 20 Senators out of 42 Presidents! 7 were Generals, and the rest were Governors of their own individual states - with absolutely NO foreign policy experience whatsover. I think for Mccain/Clinton to push this only shows them to view as the general population as incredibly uninformed & easily manipulated.

CNN = Clinton News Network.

It's all Clinton talking points, all the time.

Tomorrow's headlines?

"Clinton camp says Obama spilled coffee in 2005″

"Clinton slams Obama on overdue library book"

"Clinton teams new attack ad say Obama has terrible penmanship!"

This is not journalism, folks.

it seems as the media coverage has swayed towards Hilary since her comments about S.N.L and going 1st in debates i'm so shocked you Wolf would change and your tone and topics are now who you want to win do your job be non partial till the election is over and cover the all the candidates

I read so many of these posts and am amazed that those submitting can even read. Of course, reading doesn't require reasoning.

It's not about personalities, its about the platform.

Democrats are better than Republicans. The end.

PS You folks better wise up or I'm going to stop gracing you with my posts. I'll cut you off cold–I mean it!

Obama has yet to say anything of substance. He is too busy being an old time revivalist and building his cult following. There is a saying in business that describes him exactly: "He is an empty suit."

People say they want to go have a beer with him. Do you remember the last presidential candiate that people wanted to go have a beer with? And after he became president, look at what he has done to the country.

Obama has said he wants to turn everything over to big business to run (health care for example). Could that be why the big companies are pumping so much money into him? Afterall, they stand to make millions if he wins.

Is this really all you have to say, Wolf? More of a 'wild ride' - the same insubstantial parroting, as always. Tell us something new or don't speak at all.

One of the posts above hit the nail right on the head. Should Clinton find a way to come up with the nomination, there are many… MANY Obama supporters, such as myself, who would view McCain as the lesser of those two evils.

Why can't Obama put Hillary away?

All that money and media bias and hate from the Obama-bots and he can't close the deal.

It must be frustrating over in Obamaville.

Good overview Wolf. You bring up a point about neither candidate no matter what happens today in Ohio and Texas, and beyond will win enough delegates to clinch the nomination. John King has been saying that all along - which makes me wonder why pundits question why Clinton can continue since she can't win enough delegates in the remaining primaries and caucuses to win the nomination outright - when Obama cannot do so either.
The delegate count - and the popular vote separating the candidates is close - closer than any other previous Democratic race. So that begs the question about how - given the money advantages and momentum and string of victories of Obama, why it remains close? Kerry had a much larger lead at this point in 2004 for instance. And yes Obama won a string of victories - but in many cases those were small states or caucuses where turnout - while large, was still a fraction of the registered Democratic vote. I was an Obama supporter - have since switched to Clinton - though I could support either as the nominee.
Clinton might be in the same spot that Kennedy was in 1980 prior to the NY and CT primaries, or Reagan in 1976 primaries (though of course they both didn't win the nomination) Thanks for the reporting Wolf

I can't believe my comment is awaiting moderaion, while Ama's stupid nonsense is printed!!!!! Geez, sounds like ama is the nut.

The ranting and raving and howling by the Obama supporters is a little bit disgraceful. They do their trash talk and if by some chance he happens to win the nomination, they are going to expect the Hillary supporters to vote for him in the fall, but because of their bad conduct they will lose some. Second, when Jonh McCain and the Republican party get through with him, his campaign will be in shreds.

Why does CNN continue to lead every store with Hillary. She is the one behind in the delegate count. You always lead the republicans with John McCain. Hillary is not the front runner. Seems like CNN is try to encourage people to vote for Clinton. You should do the same for Obama as you are doing with John McCain give him the lead store. He is the front runner not Hillary. Is CNN the fair and balance news? Everything is not about Hillary, she is losing and does not except the fact that America is tried of the Clintons. They have had there chance in the White House. It is truly time for a change.

Why can't Hillary at least try to set an example for her daughter and bow out gracefully??? Perhaps in 30 years or so Chelsa Clinton can run.

Hillary wants to spend her first year fixing what's gone wrong at home (can anyone say recession? healthcare? higher education?). Obama wants to spend his first year meeting with Foreign leaders who have never liked us. Uh, that helps us how? In one debate Obama said that he would make that right decisions on day one…and less than 5 minutes later said that he wouldn't always get it right…he'd need somebody to help. Uh, yeah, that doesn't work fo me. I'm going with Hil. She's got it together. GO HILLARY!!!

Theresa, you could not be more right!

"If the Democratic party is so united now because of Obama, then it doesn't matter what else Hillary and others pull out. The Democratic party will remain united. But … if people are really paying attention and I think they are, then an ultra-competitive race like this one, which is supposedly dividing the Democratic party, just means that the Democratic party has NOT been united by Obama and he is the one leading the divisiveness of the party, not the other way around."

The great "uniter" has certainly failed to unite at least half the
Democrats in this country under his banner. You can be certain that Hillary's supporters feel as strongly about her ability to be President as Obama's do about him. There's every likelihood that those Hillary supporters would not feel so inclined to vote for him as many B.O. supporters state that they will vote Republican if the nominee is HRC.

I am a 44 years old african american woman and this is my very first time voting. Before, I really didn't feel that my vote matter and now I do. My initial thought was to vote for Hillary Clinton, but she lost me. I feel that she is not fighting a fair campaign, she offends me when she brings up old dirt on Barack Obama. What about her old dirt, she is not squeaky clean?! I live in Houston, Texas and I voted for Barack Obama in the primaries and I WILL vote again for Obama at the Caucauses. If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I may vote republican in November and I really dislike the republicans!!!

I don't understand what her game plan is. Even if she claws her way to the convention she will most likely still trail in both delegates AND the popular vote. How is she going to convince the superdelegates to vote for her then? DO THE MATH she is just too far behind.

As an independant, I have always admired the strategy to WIN by Republicans. Just look how they have closed the wagon around John McCain with endorsement after endorsement. Yet Democrats knowing how Hillary will energize the conservative base if nominated continue to support her. WOW!?!

Just know this Dems: INDEPENDANTS (such as myself), WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON… EVER. I don't dislike John McCain that much. You knuckleheads have been forewarned. Heed or lose.

THE MEDIA NEEDS DENOUNCE AND REJECT ANY AND ALL CLINTON COVERAGE UNTIL SHE PRODUCES HER TAX DOCUMENTS. THERE IS TRUTH IN EVIL - AND THOSE DOCUMENTS WOULD CAUSE HER TO TUCK HER TAIL AND RUN.

nht

I was waiting for someone to try to counter my points, please allow me to respond…. Obama doesn't tout any race issue. Show me a speech or debate where he does so. Obama isn't under investigation heavens forbid that the last name of the one that is is confused with Obama. However Clinton is under investigation. Obama said that if the system was from scratch he would support single payer, but it is not. Please find the transcript. Canada confirms Obama's stance on NAFTA is no different in private than public. Obama gives adults freedom of choice with health care, our children should be required as they are not adults.

All of my points are accurate about Clinton (well number 10 is from observation). Yours are conjecture, false, or ill informed.

stevens
I was just mentioning that you cant see this contest is about gender or race and then hang change on being the first woman president, or saying how we will see differences on who gets to do what just by electing Clinton, or by mentioning the 'all boys club'

Some of you people are not good with math. I guess it's not your fault, in light of our underperforming educational system.

No matter who "wins" Texas and Ohio, if the results are close, Hillary has practically no chance of catching up to Obama, even if there were new primaries held in FL and MI and she won those by similar margins (which I don't think would happen, not by those margins).

The superdelegates cannot overturn the will of the people (whoever has the most pledged delegates) without destroying the Democratic Party.

This is why many people will call for her to drop out (not just suspend) of primary if she does not have decisive victories in TX and OH.

Hillary isn't dividing anything and she shouldn't bow out unless that is her own personal will. I am glad she is using everything at her disposal because that's what someone who wants to win does. A man using the same tactics would simply be called "competitive" and some people simply can't stand to see Hillary in a light where she isn't victimized (like a traditional woman's role), but empowered.

She is out there giving hope to everyone, especially the female sex. And I hope she beats all of those men out there who want to take her down. Even if she doesn't win she has already broken barriers for women as a legitimate female candidate running for President.

Females should rule the world and Hillary should be at the helm.

March 4th will be the deciding day! Senator Obama will claim victory in all four states. The Democratic Party and its supporters will not stand for Hillary trying to weave and wedge her way back into this race for the White House. I hope Hillary will understand when it is her time to gracefully bow out.

It's three o'clock in the morning. John McCain answer's the phone. "Hey it's Russ Feingold."

Wolf, You are the best on CNN, thanks for always being the fair one. I agree with Lou Dobbs, why should anyone drop out before ALL the people get to vote? I think Obama supporters are afraid that as more and more shady dealings and lies come out, their candidate is losing his rock star, idol, yes we can, I am the darling of the media, status.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wolf.. enough with the past Bill videos.. Why not play some Canadian NAFTA memo video.. or illegal Chicago land deal videos…Wolf.. you're
