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!

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 beating a dead horse.. Back to the " naughty chair " for you...

why are you blocking out Mr. Obama?

A Clinton nomination will change my vote to Nader. I can't stand the thought of giving support to McCain so I'll just go for Nader.

Why not....

There is so much Clinton hate out there that she will get TROUNCED in the general election. I won't even waste my vote.

Look at how atrociously she's managed her campaign...how can she run a country??? Her politics smack of cronyism and old school Washington...

If someone is "entitled" to this presidency, I guess it'll just have to be McCain

Before this election began, I actually had respect for Hillary Clinton. Not anymore:

1. She uses Rovian tactics to win.
2. Already, more than 100 million people WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER.
3. She is so divisive, she will never get any of their proposals through a divided congress.
4. She claims 35 years of experience but then won't let the white house papers be released.
5. She is hiding her tax returns from her own base of democratic voters.
6. She is a fear monger.
7. She and Bill Clinton have both used racist comments during this campaign.
8. She praised NAFTA and then was against it when she started to run for president.
9. She didn't read the National Intelligence before voting for a war that has killed close to 4,000 of our sons and daughters.
10.She voted for the Bankruptcy Bill which puts severe restrictions on people who want to use bankruptcy to help save their homes from foreclosure.
11. She is involved in Paul v. Clinton, which is the biggest accusation of campaign fraud in the history of the country, and the MEDIA won't even report on it.
12. She is emotionally unstable.
13. She has claimed that some states "don't represent the electorate."

Do you want more? Just google "clinton corruption"

When that phone rings at 3 am, Hillary will probably ask to see the latest focus group data to decide what to do.

hostile obama fans–no fun when the shoe is on the other foot, eh? Canada for Hilary!

Mr. Obama does not have enough delegates to win. How can people call him a uniter when it is so close, and the Democrats are so divided over this? He's a uniter like Bush was a uniter and a decider.

As J. Edgar Hoover once famously said to Connie Chung, "The wish precedes the thought."

Your phraseology wrongly suggests that there is an even chance of either Clinton or Obama being nominated.

Like Rush Limbaugh, you, Wolf, may harbor a self-interested, desire to prolong the contest.

WOLF I THINK HILLARY CLINTON IS BIPOLAR SHE DISPLAAYS ALL THE SYMPTONS OF A BIPOLAR – LOOK AT HER MOOD SWINGS ALL OVE THE MAP EVERY DAY SHE IS EITHER UP OR DOWN. – MAYBE THIS ELECTION IS GETTING TO HER – I REALLY BELIVE THIS WOMEN IS BIPOLAR. ASK ANY DOCTOR SHE HAS THE SYMPTONS.

Of course it's going to be a wild ride. Just look at all of the folks that are going to the polls to make their voices heard. I wish Senator Obama well in both states tonight, but my gut feeling is that Hillary may miraculously pull this thing out. If that occurs, then obviously this democratic nomination process, will stretch out to no real end.

If she wins Ohio and Texas, then this thing isn't going to be resolved until August, at the Democratic National Convention. That would be a bummer, not to mention the pure chaos that would follow.

You know... whether you support one candidate or the other... isn't it pretty exciting to have two candidates who stir this much interest and discussion and participation in the democratic process? I certainly have my opinions, and I agree with some of you and disagree with others... but what we are looking at right now is two of the strongest Democratic candidates we have seen in a very long time... just when we need them. And regardless of the eventual nominee, I just hope that they (and we) can set aside their (and our) differences, pick up after the DNC and create that change that we're all talking about. Maybe I'm being a little rosy... but I guess I'm just tired of all the negativity. These two people are intelligent, skilled, engaging politicians, orators and leaders... and I think that's something to get excited about. Finally.

I am posting here because I hope someone at CNN will cover the REAL BIG story of today's election.

The big story that the media should have been covering for the past week was this: Obama was down 20-25 points in BOTH Texas and Ohio two weeks ago. He has made up this ground in both states in such a short period of time. Two weeks ago, it would be a miracle if Obama had come close in Texas and Ohio. Why are members of the media not stressing this story?

Imagine if the situation was reversed: Obama was up 20-25 points in these states after the WI primary, and then Clinton came back to make it a "too close to call race" on election day. The media would be hailing Clinton and talking about her ability to fight, never count her out, etc., etc.

I hate this "media bias" story so much because it just simply is not true. The media covers stories that get ratings….plain and simple. If Every person in this country should be amazed that Obama made TX and OH even close, considering where the polls were two weeks ago.

PLEASE CNN...why don't you tell this story tonight during your 8+ hours of coverage? I'll be watching all 8!

Hillary fans - SHE IS LIEING, not only to you, but to everybody. And you're buying it hook line and sinker. Why is it so hard for you to do your research and find these things out? Why are you buying every lie she spreads? Why can't you see what she's doing? She is EXACTLY what the republicans said, a DIVIDER! And read these posts, you will see exactly that! For the love of god, wake up people. Barack is not being negative and is taking the high road. And that's what we want. Why can't you see the same ole Rovian politics of the past 8 years right in front of your faces??? She's not only giving the republicans a playbook to win against Barack, but herself as well. And everybody seems to be ok with that, or they're too blind to see it.

I feel hopeless as it's pretty much written on the wall. Dems lose in November. We've been successfully divided. Thanks Clinton. Why??? IGNORANCE. The very evil that has a war criminal in power right now. Why can't anybody see that? Why are all of you only believing what you hear in the media?

God help us. Why can't Hillary see what she's doing? Is she in the same secret society as Rove or Wolfowitz? It sure does seem like it... Where's our Democrat leaders to step up and put an end to this? Are they just as blind?

We have to stop behaving like Republicans and start behaving like responsible adults. Hillary is freakin' swiftboating a very positive member of her OWN party. I'm speechless...

The odds for Hilary were brought by camp rhetorics,

Th odds for Obama were brought by himself

Even under this situation CNN still uses different sounds, different standards. I felt very sad.

You know, I love Wolf, I love John, I love Candy, very very much before this.

I often ask myself : Why ? What exatly the reason made them change so much. I just felt sad.

I frankly do not understand the lack of negative press reaction to Hillary's most recent comments stating how she and Senator McCain would bring leadership and experience to the White House while Senator Obama would just bring a speech.

Exactly who is Senator Clinton representing? What possible justification is there for her to build up her party's ultimate enemy Senator McCain at the expense of a fellow democrat Senator Obama.

Among all the well known evidence of Senator Clinton seeking to serve her own self interest at the expense of the Democratic Party, her most recent statement beats them all.

When a politician is still willing to say anything to win, we realize that that politician is guilty of the same old politics the vast majority of Americans want to get rid of.

If Senator Clinton claims the nomination on the basis of her current sad win at all costs political tactics, do not be surprise if a great many disillusioned democrats and democratic party leaning independents decide to vote for McCain or not vote at all.

AT LEAST SENATOR CLINTON WAS NOT CAUGHT LYING!

SHE IS HONEST!

THIS IS WHY OBAMA NEVER CAUGHT HER IN THESE STATES!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO !!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*waits for CNN to call Obama the winner in all states by 6pm*

This is one of the more exciting contests I have seen in many years. I hope the Democratic wild ride does continue. That will give those of us in the latter primaries a real sense of participating in the outcome of the Democratic Convention. I am very ready for an historic presidential election–it is definitely time for a change, no matter how it goes.

Why is it that Hillary needs to leave...Obama needs to leave. I am also very tired of folks putting Hillary on the same page as her husband just because she is married to him...she is her own individual.

We NEED Obama for my MOMMA and ME and US

I SAY VOTE OBAMA AND LEAVE THOSE CLINTONS TO WADE IN THEIR OWN DIRT.

God is watching us.
Americans has to wake up, did they forget the shameful act of Bill
clinton in the white house.
BARACK OBAMA has millions of qualities to become a president.
and World whould be much better and would be better place with him in the white house, so i think americans should wake up, its too late already.
so forget hillary.
Vote for BARACK OBAMA.

The only people who benefit for more of a 'wild ride' is you guys in the media. Is it any wonder you keep the sensational headlines coming, even though they don't tell us anything about the candidate's positions. Who cares if Clinton is on Jon stewart or what Rush Limbaugh has to say. I've noticed a pattern from cnn...two weeks for obama, two weeks for clinton. Keeps everyone glued to your broadcast, but doesn't further the election process along much. Tabloid Tv at its best. You may be entertaining but I get my real news from the networks.

The truth hurts and so far all this mudslinging is normal politics. You say hold you accountable and I ask how am I to do that because whoever may be president will have so much secret service around no one can even get near unless you know people. I am a 38 year old white female and this is the first time ever a presidential hopeful responded to an e-mail. That is important to me as Obama DID listen and care enough for a little person in Texas. Getting warmed up drinking? I am trying to figure out what exactly your getting warmed up for...

This is a historic moment regardless of who win the democratic nomintation. Both cadidates have proven so far to be tenacious leaders who will fight for your party and our country, both of them do not have impecable records but are way better than bush's and Mc'cain who is another Bush just waiting for his turn to create more problems for you precious country. All these cadidates should fathom that we the american people hold thier dream, ambitions and careers in our hands.

CNN will call Vermont, Rhode Island early followed by Texas, Ohio will be the next New Mexico last in returning the final numbers.
Vermont will go Obama, Texas will go Obama, Rhode Island will vote Clinto by narorw margins, Ohio will go for Obama by a narrow margin.

Hillary makes me nauseous

it is so pathetic how the Dem supporters and their candidates are acting, specially the Sen Clinton and it's supporters. Hello HRC you voted for the Iraq war, you said NAFTA was good for American, you have a health care plan that you never explained to us how you will fund it.
She will be a spoiller for Sen Obama, but i hope the billary's will be knocked out today. she is liability to Dems.

Obama 08

you can kick the sister once and the women will watch, you can kick the sister twice and women may look away but when you kick the sister again and again like it has been in this race against HIllary, the women will stand up and scream louder then you can even imagine! The media went way way too far with the beatings on HIllary….I knew it was just a matter time before the public will revoke…such is the case now. You do not mess with women because once they band together…they are a giant force to be reckon with.

Wolf:

I agree that anything is possible. But I hope that it ends tonight. I have been so turned-off by the negative attacks that Hillary has leveled at Obama in recent weeks. I can only hope that people will rally around Obama as anathema to her polarizing rhetoric.

Hillary Clinton knows that she is not going to catch up in the delegate race. It follows that he only hope is to take the fight to the convention floor and try to steal the election from Barack Obama. It will be the worst thing in the world for the Democratic party, but after all, it is always all about the Clintons.

I have watched more of the election then in all my years of voting. I'm for Hillary Clinton. I believe all she has to do to get her campaign on track is to admit her errors in judgement and let people know she is more then ever wanting to work for them.

There are more voters for Hillary with lower education and there are more for Obama with higher one. Hmmm interesting... For the past 7.5 years we had a Bush and that's why we are where we are with economy, deficit and everything else, plus we have more enemies than ever before. If Hillary will be nominated that would mean America didn't get any smarter even after 8 years going down the hill. America, you don't need a rocket science to figure out that after Bush, Clinton, then Bush again, the door should be shut because wearing the pairs of underwear for 24 years would be little too long. Don't you think so?

So Hillary keeps stating that she has "more experience" than Barack, putting her husband's accomplishments on her own resume (i.e. living in the White House). Not only does this worry me, considering that her husband was the president, but she's lying to the American people! Erasing her husband's accomplishments from her resume puts her on the same playing field as Barack Obama. And, I concur with the first post on this message board from Devon. Why have the American people so quickly overlooked her past indiscretions?

Dear God,
Please don't let Hillary anywhere near the White House.

This country doesn't need anymore lies and corruption. We've had enough.

Are you kidding me Wolf? Incredible odds? Senator Obama ran against Alan Keyes – who only moved into Illinois after he announced he was running for the Senate. That senate seat was handed to Obama! Can anybody say Oprah? He had no serious opposition at all – so don't tell us he fought hard for his current position.
Maybe somebody out there also knows the facts about his selection to head the Harvard Law Review!

Ohio State Director Paul Tewes: Our campaign's goal today is to ensure that any registered voter in the state of Ohio can go to the polls and cast their ballot for their candidate of choice without interference. We understand that the Clinton campaign may want to depress turnout because Barack Obama has closed a 20-point gap over the course of this month as voters across the state got to know him.
It has been the hallmark of the Democratic party to educate and protect the rights of voters. If the Clinton campaign disagrees with that principle, they should say so today.
We have received reports from around the state of independents and Republicans who chose to vote in the Democratic primary receiving issue only or Republican ballots instead of the Democratic ballot they were entitled to. We have also had reports that the voter ID requirements have been misstated at various locations, causing some voters to be turned away.
We will take action when necessary to ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast their votes and to have their votes counted.
We will continue to monitor the polls to ensure that all Ohioans who choose to participate in today?s election are able to do so regardless of who they choose to vote for.

Hillary has to win both Texas and Ohio or the Democratic Party will force her out.

I miss John Edwards...

The longer the Democratic primary, the stronger the ultimate candidate. This "vetting" is nothing compared to what the Republicans will do once their machine gets going! And, how is making Hillary concede going to be good for the Democratic party when 10 million Hillary supporters are disappointed at a contest cut short? Better to take McCain's approach with Huckabee and let it play out.

Hillary '08 – '12
Cleaning up after the Bushwacking!

You can't declare a winner until the finish line is crossed. The finish line is a 2025 delegate count. NO ONE has reached that count. The US Constitution mandates participation of ALL states in electing the leader of the country. How undemocratic of Obama fans to demand the race is called before all the states have voted.
This is not American Idol. You don't know who won in a few days. This is not a Frank Capra movie. He is no Jimmy Stewart. Could you get into Harvard with BAD grades? We need to know more about the
"real" Obama.
If he is all that, he will stand the test of time. If he is not, better to know
before he 's in the white house. Take it to the finish line Hill.
Real Democrats Don't Quit!!

It's time to set Hillary out to pasture, chalk up Clintonites, as stated previously, even with wins in both Texas and Ohio Barck will almost certainly still lead the Delagatecount. Guess math isn't her strong suit, which is odd considering how well she adds fiction and subtracts fact.

sean in las vegas i think you might be right in thinking that hillary is already plotting for 2012.hoping that mccain wins.but what she is ignoring is that in the process she is working for the mccain campaign and against her own party.

the party needs to intervene.the party should be before the individual.

Yeah, more of a wild ride created by the media. It's disgusting how much the media has attacked Obama the last two days just to keep the race going a few more weeks. This will all come at a cost, however. The Democratic nominee will be so vilified and injured that it'd be hard to win the General Election. Thanks a lot CNN.

It's the greatest show on earth, the players are on the stage and Bill slowly admits he bought a new garter belt for his chambergirl.OOps sorry wrong story. Okey Hillary is sleeping the phone rings at three in the morning, it is India and a call center( out sourced ) sorry Madam President that GPS tracking unit we put on Air Force 1, keeps telling us that plane left and is heading for the tropics. Our sources say their is new filming for girls gone wild, it appears who ever is on that plane is heading for it. OOps wrong story, I better get my facts straight before I write further.

As a resident of NC, let me state that a Clinton nomination will destroy every southern advance the Democratic Party has made in the state and governorship, and well erase many of the 2006 pick ups the DCCC worked so hard to secure two years ago.

If she wants this thing, then she's going to take everyone else down with her.

Honestly ... you media guys are pretty pathetic. You should have better judgement then to follow Clinton blindly in her call for support.

What was all your education for ?

Hillary is a fighter and very honest, not like obama ,he said one thing and does another. about the canada meeting, with one of his advisers it is obvious that he is a very dishonest person and would do anything to win the nomination. But if the american people are smart and concern about the future of this country the would vote for Hillary. his ties to the chicago mob boss is another example of the character he is and he is denying everything.It is about time the american people understand his position. He taljks about hope and change. he himself should change.

I hope she stays in even though I voted for Obama. I think all Dems. should have a choice like I did. It's only fair. I also think the citizens of Michigan and Florida should have a voice in this process as well. That's what I think. Anyway, it keeps it interesting. Lynn in Mo.

How about treating Obama the same way you treat Clinton on the air!? How about doing some stories from his point of view rather than from Clinton's? How about doing some research before publishing the lies and talking points the Clintons send to you? I have reached the point where I change the channel when you go into your defense of Clinton.

Hillary can't beat McCain. Check out Rush Limbaughs support for her. Repubs know they can beat her and think of the distaste she gives to many independts....think about the repubs and christians turned off by McCain- they would vote for Obama.

Obama 2008

Michael – "Why is it, when Hillary Clinton says she will continue in this race, she is called devisive, a spoiler, etc., but when Barack Obama says he will continue in a "tight race" he is considered tenacious and a fighter. "

Ummm, maybe because one of them has lost the last ELEVEN PRIMARIES and hasn't won a primary in over a MONTH?

Say what you want about the Clintons, but they sure do know how to run a spin machine. They "split" tonight and are mathmatically eliminated from winning enough delegates to secure the nomination, but it's a "win" for her since she stopped his momentum of 11 straight wins.

I laugh at the idiots who think Hillary has a chance at winning in the general election. It ain't ever gonna happen. 48% of the voters in this country already have a negative impression of her...and that number grows with every day this campaign drags on.

I support Obama and campaigned for him in New York. That said, he'd better toughen up fast and learn to hurl fire back at Hillary and then McCain. I hope he's not naive enough to think he can continue to be a nice guy and win.

Hillary has improved a great deal over the past week and her numbers are rebounding a bit even though she has tossed a few plum grenades at Obama. So, she'll continue on this track.

No more mister nice guy if he wants to win.

WOLF.... I can't wait till its over so I don't have to look at you so much! You make me nuts..... but Hillary will stay in it because its too close, and she SHOULD stay in, all of you OBAMA people are calling for her to drop out because you are SCARED !!!!

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are spreading the word do not listen. We are not as gullible as you think. We understand the games. The game is on the media this time we will just turn you off. We have our own minds. We can see very clearly. Obama supporter

Oh the Obamamaniacs are on the warpath today! No Hillary won't cede the race because believe it or not, she has a huge wave of supporters. We gave her $35 million bucks in Feb to fight with, and 30,000 new donors in just 72 hours. Many of whom were former Obama supporters who began to question this man in view of the NAFTA and Rezko trials. For all of you who say Hillary can't win because the math isn't there, the math isn't there for Obama either. He has not won this nomination. Any hint that he has is wishful thinking on your part. And if you are really so concerned about party unity, there is a simple answer. Urge Obama to cede the race, and fall in line behind Hillary. No, you say? Then why would you expect us to fall in line behind Obama? He is not our candidate, just like HIllary isn't yours. We won't be a part of uniting the party behind a candidate we feel would be disastrous for the USA . So don't ask our candidate to cede the race so yours can win by default. Let it go to the convention floor, and when Obama wins, look out. It'll be a Republican landslide victory in November.

Paul, Do your math or go to Slate.com There is no way Hillary can win even if she gets 50% of all the votes after let say her tonight winning of both OH and TX by a small margin, because that is what it will be, if she wins today, it will be by a very small 2 or 3 %.

I guess some people love to waste money and get the attention. If I were her I will take off and rest. She seems to be so tired, and her voice is so horsy, But I guess if she wants to go all the way to the end, It is also her choice, but there is no way she can win.

I encorage everybody to do to SLATE.COM and do all your predictions and you will see She is too far behind to get more votes than Obama.

How about the comments that Jesse Jackson,Jr. made on MSNBC the day after Hillary won New Hampshire? It went something like She can cry the night before a primary but she didn't shed any tears for the Katrina victims. Those comments were racist and they were said before the South Carolina primary. Maybe you can ask MSNBC for the video clip. So the Obama campaign is not without its' negative snips. Isn't it funny that the media didn't give that more air time. They decided to go after Bill instead. How about the pressure they are putting on the superdelegates to endorse him. Is he playing by the rules? Since Florida is having another primary due to the voter uproar it seems that there will more delegates to count.

Senators Clinton and Obama are both "fighters" but they are fighing for different purposes. Obama is fighting to promote a vision for national unity and renewal. Clinton is fighting for herself – and she'll stoop to any level to get what she wants for herself - sling mud, kick shins, pull hair, cry, whine - we've seen it all. Not very presidential, I have no respect for her anymore.

.

Doesn't the media love this.... just think of the advertising dollars they are raking in with a prolonged race. How many millions did they rake in over the last week with all of the ads. TV time should be free (and limitied)... It is the publics airwaves afterall.

I was a Edwards supporter and would be again if he was in. He was by far the best qualified to be the #1 person. With that beind said, I went on to the Clinton side of the house. I was up unitl she started out with the below the belt ads. Obama is a muslim, look at his clothes, he is a one speech person and th e3 am ad. Give me a break! I am tired of the Karl Rove tactics... I hope Obama wraps it up today and all this nonsense can stop. I will be voting for Obama and if he does not get it I guess I will be taking a look at Nader. In my little circle I know of 5 votes she has lost in the past week. no more support for her.

Obama in 08

If Obama wins and proceeds to the election against McCain, you can count this Democrat as not voting for Obama.

We have already had an in-experienced George W Bush as President and Obama keeps telling us we cannot solve our problems by sending the same people to Washington. So, I wil vote against Obama. 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.

On the one hand we show the world we have three decent people running for the highest office in our land. On the other hand we show how poorly structured our election process is and how nasty and puerile it can get. Me thinks the mightiest democracy on earth needs a better system. Having said that, either Democrat will bring the necessary changes but I do believe Obama has the greater courage and the fewer entanglements of the two.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman." – Bill Clinton
Just words?

"If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism [the bombing of the USS Cole], it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable" – Bill Clinton
Just words?

"If she doesn't win both TX and Ohio, I don't see how she can win the nomination." – Bill Clinton
Just words?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Texas and Ohio, end this thing now. No more Clintons on the national scene. She's NO CHANCE at winning the Presidency. If you believe otherwise, you're delusional.

All the way with Clinton................she will do it .........watch and see!! Clinton 2008

I have just got to put it out there that no matter how you look at this election the media has made it to where Obama can do no wrong and that Hillary is just a horrible person well I have news for you never judge a book by its cover. Not to sure if any one notices it besides me but anytime you question him on things he says or something his campaign has done it is always I didn't mean it that way or that was misquoted come on people see him for what he truly is a liar .

Go Hillary Fight till the end !!!

You Obama voters are sure being bought.Twenty yrs. a member of a church thats anti- American ,and he isnt.Give me a break.A blue collar worker buying a million dollar resdence for 300,000 .Give me a break. Rezko knows how he got the home. Obama is rapped up with him.You knock and slam Hillary.You better worry about your God Obama before its to late. If he makes office ,our country will fall.Granted hes a smooth talker, Canada will tell you that.He lies to you voters ,and you suck it up.How can he run office with out Hillary to copy everything from? He has no originality and has to agree with her at all debates.He is a hypocryt,smooth talker and copy cat. He is a follower ,not a leader. Wake up before its to late America. I want the original,strong,qualified leader as in Hillary to defend my country.

Someone needs to bow out. If Hillary is losing then she should get out of the race. If Clinton wasn't married to Bill, she would not even be in the race. She touts her experience but has been working on health care for how many years? I would like to see what experience she is talking about.

If Hillary wins because of the super-delegates I predict a lot of supporters for Obama are not going to vote for her. She has been going after Obama in a negative way for sometime.

I am a Democrat and I can't watch Fox. I can't stand to watch MSNBC because they so biased in favor of Obama and now I can't watch Wolf Blitzer because of Cafferty and his nonsense. Also can't bear to watch what's her name that I admired once upon a time. She is on the so called best group in politics. What makes CNN think it is okay to take sides in a primary? What has happened to objective news? Jack Cafferty is horrible!!!! I truly think what you are doing is as bad as Fox News and Russ Limbaugh. Obliously you don't seem to care that you are alienating tens of thousands of people. I just can't stand to watch you anymore. I also think there is the beginning of a backlash against Obama because of it. I voted for Hiliary but how dare you misuse power in that way.

After all the polls close tonight, I can't wait to see or hear how all the CNN, Fox and MSNBC "spinners" pick their words explaining how Hillary won three out of four states!!!

Obama's surge CAN NOT penetrate Clinton's core supporters and it has reached its max while Hillary's still soaring!! People are now finding out who the real Barrack is; that he is all talk and no substance; that all he is bragging about was that one speech while he was still in the IL senate floor which eventually changed when he was campaigning for Kerry and Edwards in 04 and that his speeches were all "xeroxed".

HILLARY WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE AND WILL BRING MCCAIN DOWN!!

GO HILLARY!!!

Of course gender is a factor.
A woman's place is in the house. The White House.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The media is truly set against him, Certain, journalist are trying to cause untrues and deception to make him look bad. He's never done anything except to change our current GOP administration policies. He will succeed, and become the Democratic Nomination. Billary, will have to sit this one out this time until 4 to 8 more years.

Only you people making millions off of the ad time sold during the debates and the primary nights actually love this crap, Wolf.

That's why you're spinning everything in favor of the underdog. You want to elevate both candidates to the level of messiah, so when people watch the gladiator bouts LIVE on primetime CNN, your ads sell for more.

Sometimes the world of journalism is disgusting; and sometimes it undercuts the very democratic system that allows it to exist in the first place.

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.

I'm not sure why such focus on the elected delegate numbers. Neither one can reach the 2025 without the Superdelegate vote. If we look for anything to sway them it should be the popular vote & not the delegates. Does anyone remember how pissed off the democrats were in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but lost based on the electorates (delegate equivalnt in primaries).

Now, if Clinton wins the popular vote in TX & OH, even if she doesn't come out with a huge delegate swing, she arguably is the one people want. The delegates is just a convoluted math that the Dems put in place because they want to be nice to everyone playing the game.

It's not like Barak has this huge lead over Hillary. It is split down the middle, which means the dems are split down the middle. So why should she drop out. Maybe he should drop out.

I also don't buy into this notion that she is damaging the party. The Republicans do not need Hillary Clinton to give them ammo on Obama. They know how to dig that up themselves. So, if he can't survive her attacks, then he shouldn't be the nominee. And for those dems that say they won't vote for Hillary in the general election if she wins, it means that they truly do not have the best interest of the people and don't believe in the core democratic values enough that they would rather vote for a republican.

Mr. Obama has not closed the deal yet. Why not let all the states vote? In general election, no one calls the race before everyone has had a chance to vote. It should be the same now. And citizens of Florida and Michigan should have a chance to weigh in, too.

(Why are Mr. Obama's supporters so mean-spirited? You don't represent him very well, with your hatefulness.)

Wolf.. you can try to put that square peg in that round hole all you want... Texas Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas.. is an incredibly intelligent person and it doesn't matter how many ways you ask her the SAME question... She will tell you over and over and over again Hillary is the better candidate...now.. Give it a rest.. P.S. and take Cafferty to the " naughty chair " with you..

Among all the odds, CNN really built the most incredible ones.

I just want to say : it is not what a media like CNN should do, no matter for what kinds of reasons.

CNN shuold be the "most trusted name in news".

The whole world are watching. How can you criticize others when they report only one side of truths but neglect the other?

Clinton's inept shambles of a campaign and her recent ugly attempts to smear her opponent, a fellow Democrat, convince me that she has lost my vote for good. Whatever respect I had for her in the beginning has gone.
Obama and the support he is getting across the board, especially that from younger voters is like a breath of fresh air.

A wild ride indeed. Hillary Huckabee Clinton is not going to stop until the DNC is over and the parking lot is empty of every vehicle except for hers. Then and only then will she stop her 2008 campaign, take her meds and immediately start working on the 2012 campaign.
The phone in the Clinton house is ringing. Bill we're trying to give you the head's up, She's on her way home and she's not happy!

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The media is truly set against him, Certain, journalist are trying to cause untrues and deception to make him look bad. He's never done anything except to change our current GOP administration policies. He will succeed, and become the Democratic Nomination. Billary, will have to sit this one out this time antil 4 to 8 more years.

Take heed America...

Do not make the mistake of casting your vote for those who would prey upon your fears to get it – this is a veiled attempt to keep you under control and complacent as your shepherd "keeps the wolves at bay".

You’ll never have a voice in this type of relationship… You’ll never know the real nature of the wolf, and worse, the true intentions of the shepherd – for this is a shepherd who would rather scare you into the fold than engage your intellect... God forbid you learn something.

Senator Obama consistantly engages Americans without preying upon our fear. He treats the American psyche with dignity and respect... and not like a frightened little sheep.

I am getting tired now. Hillary – stop tearing the party up and LEAVE.

If you Obamanites could speak as highly of him as you do negatively of Mrs. Clinton. I might buy this "Change we can Believe in" rhetoric and consider voting for him....

Vote for Hillary. Say no to Obama

let's hope the bush-clinton monarchy will come to an end tonight

Hillary should give this race up. She continues to throw stones and not focus on the issues. If she spent more time focusing on the issues, then bringing up dirt, maybe she would get more votes. This is a turn off to me and many of other Americans. I would not like to work for that lady.

Unlike some, I wouldn't have a problem with the superdelegates deciding this contest, even if they didn't decide to go with the popular frontrunner in a close contest. The job of the superdelegates is to act in the best interests of the party, which is not something with which many of the starry-eyed independents who have voted in the Democratic primaries have concerned themselves.

HILLARY 08

I Can not support a candidate that.

1. Touts race as a factor.
2. Is under investigation for illegal campaing finances: Rezko
3. Supported Single payer healthcare system.
4. Involved in lost jobs in Illinois.
5. Claims anything negative against him is not his fault.
6. Wont release records involved in Rezko dealings.
7. Says stance on NAFTA is for political gain.
8. Mandates parents pay for their child's Health Care and fines them if not.
9. Uses Republican tactics.
10. Has a blank screen personality, according to his own words
11. Talks crap about a vote that he was not even in the Senate for and bases his entire candidacy on it.

(too many more to continue…)

HILLARY 08
YES SHE WILLL!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!

If Super-Delegates can be swayed in his favour!!!!

Who know's where it could end.
He was tryingt to sort out a problem in Kenya, among his own Roots.

He was just a Senator, and he thought he was CIC... A Bias you cant afford from a Leader of "What I like to call my world". And what is also called "Democracy". Now maybe it's sorted in Kenya, but the one he spoke to (Indirectly), is still the oppostion.. Nothing to do with this?

When will the swaying, stop!

I think that CNN should stand up as a reputable operation and be fair and report more on OBAMA's Qualifications and not let Hillary Clinton wrongfully define who he is, with the help of the media, who knows better,
but won't dispute the untruth.

OBAMA 08.

I m just tired of the primaries. Today will be my last day to watch and listen to news about the race between Mr Obama and Mrs Clinon. I m saturated of the same old news being published just with different titles. only In october i ll start paying attention to the general election

I am for a woman president, just not this woman. I'd like to have seen other women candidates. Hillary just isn't it people. Believe me I've tried and tried to consider her but I just can't when Obama is the other choice.

Yeah!!!!

GO HILLARY GO, GO HILLARY GO, GO HILLARY GO!

CLINTON 08/12

GO HILLARY, GO HILLARY, GO HILLARY!

CLINTON 08/12

Obama as much as he is intelligent, energetic, and brave etc and preaches “CHANGE, CHANGE TO WASHINGTON”
An empty phrase, because to this day I do not know what is going to do except saying he will change Washington. How?
Is he going to fire all senators and oldies who should not be there anyway? Not possible.
Is he going to fire house representatives ? Not possible.
Is he going to tell insurance agents to give insurance to everyone?
Is he going to tell employers to hire people immediately to work?
Is he going to suspend trade agreements?
Is he going to develop car to run on water?
Is he going to tell middle-east oil kings to get lost?
Is he going to fly around the world and tell everyone how great is America?
NO, He is going to CHANGE, But WHAT ? and HOW?

America is the great country but it is driven but waves of excitement and empty politics instead of real politics which require knowledge of the subject and unfortunately many relationships Obama does not have. Before he will build them the country will buckle and we will end up with the same as we have now if not worst. We might have popular president but that is about it. I do not see Obama has done anything except preaching change. There is nothing but words.
The youngsters who ride today’s wave need to understand, Waves come and go. And the bigger the wave the bigger will be destruction. Tsunami is not a good thing.

Many youngster who are voting today don’t have experience, don’t know how much health insurance cost, many don’t have families, jobs etc. And right now they are all happy and excited because most of their expenses are paid. Paid by their parents, so for now they can be cool. Tomorrow is theirs turn to pay for insurance, loose their job, feed the family, have sick children, and bag for food stamps. Colleague education is on thing but life is another.

Seems like wind is really changing against obama, he has run out of hot air and people are starting to see through his empty speeches. He has failed to chair any meetings on the senate floor on al qaida, votes present or just not there to vote then criticises those votes. He has talked so much about what he does not like, but has nothing to show for the change he is only been dreaming about. The press is starting to do their roll in the political process and I can see the king really has no clothes. HILLARY IS THE LEADY FOR US NOW.

This RACE will march on until it is settled in Denver! Senator Clinton will win in all four (4) States.. there is a chink in Senator Obama's armor that can't be repaired by spin, ads, or news conferences and the hype of CHANGE and HOPE is D.O.A. !!

Devon, how can gender NOT be a factor? I think you would be a fool to think that gender has no importance. There are many men who wouldn't vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. Just look at the way some of the media doesn't take her as seriously as Obama or how she is talked down to or criticized more harshly. I know what your reply to this comment would be, that I am whining just like they said Hillary was, right. Well, thats a perfect example of how gender does still play a big role in this society.

I hope Obama knock's her out today,
she's become a Democratic liability.

the media continues to play up this soap opera because its great for bussiness on the other hand we are the pawns in this race.the goal is to pick the best president.am sure if obama or hillary win they will be ok because their plans are similar.so for all those people hate-ing its not good ! its just stressing you out!.the real winners are the media because drama sells.let us all get a grip .anybody who is president does not run the country by himself but are set up withadvicers and more to help him or her.so there stop all the fighting the goal is to make sure mccain does not get in !wake up democrats

It really is a shame that simply because Obama is decimating the competition that these sort of jabs are thown, the fact is, Clinton is desperate, at this point her team will do or say anything they can as a last ditch effort before the ride is over, chalk it up Hillary, the dinosaur's are becoming extinct and a new wave is taking over, bout time.

Hey Wolf,

You said "I can easily envisage various scenarios that would result in a Clinton or Obama victory. As I wrote last week, don’t count Hillary Clinton out. Anything is still very possible."

You are right as long as your envisaging doesn't require you to use, umm, MATH!!!! I can envisage her hiring a witch doctor to shrink Obama's head.

The only way she can possibly win is to try to use Florida, Michigan and superdelegates to STEAL this election. And frankly I think she would do it even if she took down the whole party.

Everone is so GAGA on this election. I guess with so many people feeling the economic pinch, Iraq and all...they are seeking hope!

Folks, don't seek opportunity or hope from politicians–they support primarily themselves and their families, secondly their alliances in power, and thirdly you.

Hope can only come from your own determination, preserverance, and search for your own destiny. Someone elses hope is meaningless and only useful in gaining attention, and it's worked pretty good for Obama.

Mister Blitzer, can you at least name one possible scenario in which Clinton could get the nomination? Just one please. Because right now, the numbers are just not there for her, unless she wins by big margin in TX and OH, something she has not done for a month in other states. The polls certainly doesn't suggest that either. Oh, she could cry over Michigan and Florida delegates, the woman is so desperate that to overtly disobey her own party rules is a petty detail to her eyes.

In general, and only in the last few days, CNN coverage of the Dem race has been so biaised toward Clinton it is almost pathetic. It seems that all your journalists have decided to keep the race going, even though they were the same ones who all admitted Clinton had to win by big margin in OH and TX for her to stay in. Since then, the only significant change that had happened is that Obama is slowly closing the gap, as he did before in other states.

Back to some objectivity, please!

Why is Hillary rewarded with comments of being a fighter, when she is the initiator of all the negative exchanges in the race on the democratic side? Not one analyst in the best political team has mentioned that. We keep hearing the race is getting negative, its not the race it is Hillary who is constanly negative and your analyst say, oh she is a fighter. No, she is really making it hard for me to support the democratic ticket if she wins or if Obama wins and she tries to lend her support we all know that it will be phony because of her tone thus far.

Sean from Las Vegas: Interesting thoughts. However, if she does indeed decide to go that route, she best be very careful. A lot of Democrats, including those in the DNC, will not be happy with her if she sandbags their nominee. I expect that if Obama wins the nomination, then Hillary will be gracious, she'll endorse Obama, and will likely campaign for him in some limited fashion in New York. While I sometimes find her tactics on the seemy side, I don't believe she wants another Republican in the White House. I think she will pull for the Democrats candidate, even if it isn't her.

Does anyone really think all these new young Obama supporters are going to spport Billary in the fall elections if she wins the primary?
I won't

All Billary's negative attacks are devisive to her own party. This only helps McCain get stronger in November. Further proof that she will do anything to get elected. To her, the election is about ambition and personal gain... not about the people. It is no accident that Republicans want her to win because McCain stands a much better chance against her. It is also no accident that in every exit poll in every state, voters with education vote for Obama.

Texans for Obama

Hillary is worse than I ever thought, she is such a liability not because she is a woman, but because she is a lier and a dirty Politician...

Obama '08

We are tired of "wild rides". Through it all,
Hillary has conived, lied, screamed, hollered,
crIed, deceited, coerced. Hillary totally believed
from the beginning that this was going to be
smooth sailing for her because of her "experience"
It is not experience, it is CONNECTIONS. Big
difference. I believe that connections
should be Hillary's new word. Like
with lobbyists and the rich and famous. Please
I cannot listen to another liar for another 8 years.
I listen to National News all of the time because
I am a retired woman of 62. but I can honestly tell
you that no one will want to listen to that hollering
scream like voice of hers and it will make people
get new hobbies. And the cackle. Please! America
lets take hold of the best candidate as if this is
our last chance. NO to BUSH'S and CLINTON'S
They have run our country too long. Let's see
if Hillary wins, 8 more years. I think that would
be 32+- years.Our country would be similar to
a MONARCHY. We must be stupid to let this
happen!

TUSH LIMBAUGH WANTS HILLARY TO WIN.
THE REPUBLICANS WANT HILLARY TO WIN.
BELIEVE ME THE CLINTON'S MISGIVINGS ARE
WIDE AND LONG.

OBAMA 2008

When Hillary said that she and McCain brings the same kind of experience to the white house. She made me an Obama Voter.

Common guys..

It is Hillary's Birthright to be the President of USA. You cannot rob her of what she has been dreaming about for 35 years. Only a miserable opportunistic can harbour such dreams.

God save America.

I checked out the Delegate Counter Game on cnn.com and really enjoyed playing out various scenarios. Then, I noticed CNN has put Michigan and Florida in the Clinton win column. What?! Is CNN saying that Clinton won the Soviet-style election in Michigan where Obama's name was not even on the ballot, and the primary in Florida that Clinton agreed would not even count? Who's calling the shots at CNN? Howard Wolfson?

Michiel W: Because Obama has wide lead. If Clinton loses both states and continues she is a spoiler and possibly the next Huckabee. I have deep respect for Huckabee, however, I do not believe theirs a chance he will win this nomination even if it goes to the convention, same for Hillary.

Please let it be over!! I'm an independent for Barack, but the longer this goes on, the less excited I am about the entire process.

I can't believe how nasty the race has gotten and I'm disappointed that Hillary has chosen to pull out all the stops and really smear someone in her own party. As an independent, I don't agree with all of Obama's positions (or McCain's, for that matter), but integrity is important, and Hillary has now proven to me that she will do anything to win, including taking the democratic party down with her.

After tonight I pray that she will get out for the good of the dem party and the nation.

Michiel W, how misinformed you are. The reason why Clinton is indeed a spoiler is because since she is the one trailing in delegates, her staying in the race will only divide the Democratic Party further. Which is unfortunate. She is so blind-sighted by greed and power she is not standing up for the same party that she belongs to. Has nothing to do with a double standard. If Obama lost 11 in a row, the media would have his head on a platter! We all know how the media operates, one day they love you, the next they hate you. Plain and simple.

Obama '08

March is National Women's History Month. Wouldn't it be WONDERFUL if Hillary Clinton can sweep all four primaries and be right back in the race. We'll be up all night watching the results with her.

Sorry wolf this is over tonite .

For all practical purposes it doesn't matter which of these two losers
the Democrats select as their candidate. Neither one of them can
win in November. Newt Gingrich or Mrs. Bush can beat them. Once Hillary loses, Hispanics will vote Republican in November. This is a repeat of the 72 election, when Nixon trounced the anti-war candidate
McCartny.

Please for the sake of fairness. Tally up the senate accomplishments of Clinton vs Barack ( not including their votes) Their proactive work in the senate.
Let the world see a young man from Chicago , who went to school in Hawaii is more productive and organized
than a middle aged woman ,struggling to reach for the skies by any means.

Hillary is a nasty fighter. I'm sure she was behind the development of/circulation of the Canadian paper. Probably her husband called in a few chits for that one!

I believe she should give it up if she doesn't win big tonight. The superdelegates shouldn't let it go much farther since she is behind splitting the party, but both Hillary and Bill will do anything to win -

omba is a fake.
he ll say whatever voters want to hear and rally their hope up
but he will not deliver as you can see he is not change, he is just another politican with a political agenda....look at the Canada NAFTA issue...

Why is it, when Hillary Clinton says she will continue in this race, she is called devisive, a spoiler, etc., but when Barack Obama says he will continue in a "tight race" he is considered tenacious and a fighter. Guess it is ok for a man, but not for a woman. What a double standard!

why does media cover only Hillary views and not real news/

Whyb aare all the comic shows giving air time to Hillary

are they afraid thata real Intelligent person may take over white house?

Why are the IVY league educated news anchors repeating misleading statements from hillary . they know better. why do they indulge in gossip?

Stay Fair

and watch how the electrotrate will fare,to Choose a leader

a leader who for us will care

truth he is willing to dare

the country is robed to the bare

there is no time to spare

my thought I wish to share

with voter who, for their future care

for Obama America now has a Flare

"A wild ride" Maybe I should say "Quote"...
But I wish for a Safe, Soft Landing....

Just a thought, but the Clintons are just the team of expert politicians to pull it off… What if Hillary knows that she has lost the democratic nomination, but stays in the race as we all anticipate she might? Could it be that she has the foresight and the political gall to pull off the biggest political coup d'etat ever?

If she stays in the race and is able to bloody-up the “golden boy” enough that he loses the general election to John McCain, wouldn’t that almost certainly sandbar Obama’s political future due to the, “I told you so…”, “He’s not a closer…”, “He just didn’t have the experience…” taglines? Wouldn’t Hillary then become the ONLY choice for Democrats in 2012? Could it be that she is already plotting that next run?

I might have written this theory off to bad-conspiracy-style postulation, but the fact that so many are widely speculating the same approach for Huckabee is very interesting. As an Obama supporter, I am quite concerned about the possibility of the strategy. God forbid, but it just might work.

I would love to hear other opinions or analysis of this possibility.
