CNN

Jim,

It's good that you actually looked at the records of the candidates. That is how decisions on our votes should be made...not on our emotions.

Hey " CARE" this is not a Ted Nugget concert " DUDE".You just CUT UP your OWN comment my MAN!!!!If Hillary comes out as the Democratic nominee than YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR HER , because that is what you said WHOEVER THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IS YOU WILL CAST YOUR VOTE FOR.If not than you are a bad liar or have some mental issues

For all the Hillary hating Obama lovers look at the record. When Obama had a chance to do the right think (not just giving nice speeches) he sided with the Bush-Cheny and the special interests. He voted for the Bush-Cheney Energy Act of 2005. Hillary voted no! She stood up against Bush-Cheney and the special intersts. Obama talks and Hillary acts. What's up with that?? Go Hillary!!

Echo's of a Clinton win – "it's the economy, stupid".

why is CNN saying only 1% of Texas [precincts are reporting when they have 780,000 texas votes counted. That is probalby 15% or more

More shall be revealed with Barack. People pleaser. what in the world was he thinking discussing NAFTA with the Canadian govt behind our backs. He should just told us what he was thinking or doing. Instead, he tried to cover it up. I hope the word got out in OHIO. More shall be revealed............

I have been reading the entries in this discussion and could find everything rather confusing if I didn't see the futalness of it all. It really doesn't matter who is elected . . . he or she will not be able to accomplish a thing unless they can get a better Congress to work with.
I find it laughable that Sen. Obama talks about being all knowing when it came to the Iraq War. He didn't have a vote in all that so how can he be so high and mighty about it. I, too, was against it from the gitgo so I guess I'm at least as smart as Obama. I imagine there are a lot of people in the US that can claim the same thing.

If you back Obama then please enlighten me on his credentials because I just don't see anything that qualifies him to be president, he's been a Senator for 2 yrs and how much time has he spent in that office doing his job????? he's been on the road running for president that entire time.

It is not because we are against Obama that Hillary's supporters may not vote for him if he is the nominee – it is the bad way in which the men of the party in high places started calling for her to drop out on Sunday – that is absolutely the most undemocratic thing I have ever heard. In other words, we do not need to hear from the rest of America on who they want to be the nominee just who got the most first. We women are sorely disappointed in our party.

Someone from Michigan said Michigan's for Hillary.
Michigan's for Hillary – NOT!!!
Obama rules! He has all the qualities that we need as a leader. I would love to see a woman as president – just not Hillary. I WILL vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is.

If anyone else has the urge to try and deffend hillary please try........

I live in the UK and i am following these elections with so much interest for the first time. I just hope the Americans will do the right thing and bring Obama to the white house. Here is an intelligent man and is going to make informed decisions for the Americans collectively. Go OBAMA Go.

It doesn't surprise me that the older generation is voting for Clinton, they have seen alot of Presidents come and go, I feel they are much wiser then the younger generation. GO HILLARY

To deena

Apparently u are saying that hillary is the best but the only things you have to say about her is that shes a "advanced thinker and doer". Yet you say that barrack has great crudentials but does not have enough experience because he's only been in the senate for 2 years. I would like to inform you that being a senator is not the onlything that counts. if you would do your research you would clearly see that he has done plenty of things to help this country. He is the man that did not take a 6 figure job as a lawyer after graduating harvard but he went to small towns where he helped the people and cities. From what i hear you saying it sounds like you are only voting for hillary because she is a woman. please do reply......

Yes, and hopefully that should favor Clinton who wants to get started fixing the economy right away. If they are restless, they will want to vote in someone on only the merit of his speech writers. They know Hillary has a plan and will get started with it right away, where as Obama's economic plan is lifted straight from hers, but without knowing exactly how to execute it.

Best candidate for the economy(and everything else).............LOU DOBBS for President!!!!!

My son and I placed our Ohio votes for OBAMA this morning. 40 people I worked with for nearly 10 years lost their jobs last thursday when our "Fortune 500" top listed company" call center was closed and moved to India. More Ohio jobs lost to the Clinton NAFTA legacy.

To Margie,

Just shows how cynical, ignorant and the same your position is with those of Clintons. People that care will never forget Rwanda!

For everyone that says they will vote Republican if Obama gets the nomination, there are at least as many that say they will vote Republican should Hillary win the nomination (just look at the vote totals in the primaries).

Also, remember that the Evangelical base will come out in full force to prevent an adulterer from getting back into the White House (even it is only the First Gentleman/First Husband).

Hillary is a lightning rod for conservative anger – if she is on the ballot, it will only encourage the Republicans to come out in full force – if Obama is the nominee, it will be much harder to convince the right to throw their full support behind a relative moderate like McCain.

VT down and three more to go, then she can go south of Texas and keep on walkin. Lies don't work. CNN could not help her as they tried. Rush was no help in the end.
The White House is Obamas and Obama is for the people and the people are speaking.
Obama08

from Ithaca, NY–go Obama. This country doesn't need another Clinton or Bush. Let's take this party back from the Baby Boomers

Go Hillary? No way, no way. If Obama wins tonight she is out.
He just won Vermont.??? Thank you Vermont. Hillary will be sending
her thanks to those who have voted for her sometime soon.

Obama 2008

From LA, Go Hillary!!! She is by far the most advanced thinker and doer and with the most experience. Barack has awesome credentials and background but not enough experience and we can't afford another inexperienced presidents. And young professional people are for Hillary too, including my 28 year old senior Yahoo editor daughter and one of her best friends, Lena, architect. Lena is in Austin doing what she can to help Hillary!!

According to ABC polling, in Ohio and TX, "Change" tops "Experience." by a 20 and 15 points, respectively thought previously at 31points in the previous states. If this is true, I'd predict an early Obama sweep or majority wins.

she is not half bad what did she do.

CAN YOU SAY CHINA ! BUSH KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING, JUST AS BILL KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN THE SO CALLED FREE TRADE AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED ! (YOU WASH MY HANDS AND I WILL WASH YOURS}. THE SAME OLD TYPE OF POLITICS, WE THE PEOPLE HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS BY START ELECTING REAL PEOPLE AN NOT POLITICIANS ! HILLARY , McCAIN ARE POLITICAIS. BARACK OBAMA IS A PERSON FIRST, AND THAT IS WHAT WE NEED AS A LEADER. SOME ONE THAT WILL PUT THE PEOPLE FIRST AND NOT YOU RICH A__H___'S FIRST. PLEASE DO NOT LET HILLARY'S EVIL WAYS GET TO YOU OBAMA, WE THE PEOPLE ARE WITH YOU !!!!

No disrespect to Mrs. Clinton, but.......... Don't waste your vote on someone that even the polls say cannot win in Nov. Our children deserve not just a change of gender, but a change in the way things are done in Washington. That is the REAL change! The Clintons bring nothing but negative baggage and a return to the "politics as usual" that they have both become so well known for over the years. This is our chance....

Dwitto Dwayne.

Well Annamica, if you are out there I hate to say it but your 'girl' may do OK tonight but her 'sweep' has just been dashed in Vermont.

barack takes vermont.......1 done....fired up ready to go

With only a little more than a 100 delagates behind, how can anyone think Hillary should get out. I'll take my chances on her for President as the other two are flawed. One to young and inexperienced and the other to old and wants to stay in Iraq plus he could fall ill before he got a chance to put his hand on the Bible.

I think if Obama wins then he will take the White House by storm!

Not good for Barack if economy was top issue. He can't rely on his "I made a speech against war before I was in the Senate" line against that.

WHAT WHOULD THE United States Electoral College NUMBERS
BE FOR CLINTON AND OBAMA

IF OBAMA WINS? AMERICA IS READY??? TO BE BETRAYED...

If Hillary wins, I'll be inspired to watch paint dry–back to politics as usual.

Oh well America, it was nice while it lasted.

No matter who wins, there's a little matter of soldiers dying–let's stay focussed.

America 08

I'm voting for Clinton, I don't like the thought of staying in the war for another decade which is what we will have with McCain and poor Huckabey doesn't have a chance and after watching Obama standing with his hands to his side while our national anthem was playing I feel there is no possible way I could vote for him so that leaves me with Hillary Clinton.

Texas and Ohio you should be ashamed of yourselves, Hilary has done a lot for you all, and it is a shame that she has to convence you all to vote for her. Instead you rather vote for someone who name is Berack Hussaine Obama, I hope you know what you're doing.

I don't think Texas and Ohio are different in their views from other States. When Texas or Ohio hurts, we at California hurt. Now the million dollar question is- Who we believe can make the economy better???? Is it Hillary, MCcain, or Obama ???? I personally think we are better off with the Clintons in the White House.

So are you saying we should have sent our troops to Rwanda or relied on the UN to interfere and do something? Do you believe we are the official police force of the world?

I do consider that a tragedy...truly a tragedy... but I do not believe it is our personal responsibility to mediate every fracas in the world alone.

I live in Ohio and this truly is exciting. Go Barack !

If Ohio votes for Hillary after losing jobs to NAFTA, then they're a bunch of dummies and deserve her as President. She will more than likely lose Ohio more jobs as president.

OK – let's cut to the chase. You don't think Hillary will ask Bill about the economy? You don't think that she just might get outstanding counsel from Bill at 3 AM?

It's the ECONOMY STUPID!! Surely Hillary has learned something from Bill about the economy – which was probably the best we've had in the last 100 years.

To tito

Yes they do. They never look back. Just like when Hillary
left states she lost in and never thanked them. Clintons
Rule. Get what you can and never look back. Poor people
in Ohio trudging thru the ice and snow to vote for her.
If she loses she is OUT of THERE. And straight to the
next race and never tells the audience she just lost.

Oh! Also DeMarco and Disenfranchised!! Where did you study politics 101. For one that is old news that doesn't mean a thing! And secondly how can you run propereconomics when the republicans block everything you try to do!??

To vote Mccain in would be like giving Bush another four years in office! To vote Obama in he would'nt know how to react to questions without Hillary answering them first! We need someone to fix the last eight years of Bush's administration,and that person needs to have some experience. Obama is too inexperienced and young. This is serious business so I hoope you Americans open up your eyes and vote properly! Hillary is the most experienced and smartest nominee!

If Hillary wins Texas and Ohio will Obama get out of the race?

Why do Clinton supporters keep saying Hillary is fighting for the human rights of all people and keep criticizing China on the issue. This issue only comes to her lap when its time to play politics! Bill used the same issue in his 1992 campaign; However after the 1992 election victory Bill Clinton sat with his arms crossed wile 1,000,000 black citizens in Rwanda were slaughtered with machetes over 3 month period. The Rwanda population pleaded with Bill to help them in their plight! Clintons use minorities like blacks and Hispanics in time of elections but after elections are over they forget their promises.

For all those who say "if Hillary/Obama (interchanged) wins I will vote McCain" I say, please, for the love of America, don't let your personal disappointment, or even personal dislike for the opposing candidate cause you to pluck your eyes out.

Vote Democratic 2008!

the hope that Senator Obama give is first and he have said time and time again we have to do this togather we are a weak minded
people if we think either of the two or for that matter any of these
candidates could go in to the white house and do it all alone
there is no day one if there is no agreement so lets stop being
BONE headed and listen to what realy make sence
to me going backto the 90' scears me

It's not to late–Obama 08

The best candidate won 11 straight. The best candidate runs a transparent campaign. The best candidate is only accused of NAFTA rumors and not actual facts. The best candidate doesn't drop five million on a campaign. The best candidate comes from blue-collar beginnings. Now, does this sound like Hillary, a candidate that could never inspire or unite the party?

Economy is truly one of the areas where I truly believe Clinton will do a better job than who will probably be her boss, Obama.

If Hillary wins the democratic nomination, I will be voting for McCain.

GO OBAMA !!!

From a Michigan Independent UAW voter saying , Hi!!!! Ohio UAW voters.We have the same feeling here about NAFTA , it hit us worse than you, BUT!!!! many of us rather throw our lot with McCain or Hillary, Obama,s issues and personal background are still in the dark with us here in Michigan.

Who would have thought that after all these years, and all these presidents...that all you had to do is cry.

So future female presidents of the world:

If at first
you don't succeed
Cry, cry again

Thanks Hillary, great role model.

we need a new face in the white house people..for better or worse

Well, at least this time the vote unlike 2004 will be more honest! There is no reason or testimonial that can buy their way to steal this election. The american people have had enoungh of the republican deceit. Why aren't these people not sitting in prison for the dishonesty that has brought america to crash and burn!? It's time for democracy and strength of the democrats to bring us back!

Ahhh America rears her racist head. I knew you couldn't hide it any longer.

Don't be surprised if Clinton pulls out a clean sweep this evening.

If Obama wins the democratic nomination, I will switch parties in November. I have never voted republican before but I'd rather give my vote to McCain before I give it to Obama...and I know PLENTY of others who feel the same way.

Go Hillary!!!

GO HILLARY!!! YOU ARE THE ONE!!!

VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY

It's not Hillary or Obama that are tearing the DEM party apart, it's the childlike mentality of these posters filled with hate that are doing it. Obama and Hillary are doing what is supposed to be done, running for office like it should be, tough and hard fought.

GROW UP PEOPLE.

Hillary or Obama is still better than ANYONE else. I hope the fight continues all the way to the convention!!!!

Ardnuas, according to the latest polls 2 to 1 Democrats would like to see the nomination process continue after tonight. No matter how loud you shout you are outnumbered. Weren't you the one arguing polls in previous blogs? Besides, many voters haven't voted and we do not want to leave Florida and Michigan in a disenfranchised state. Indications are that both states may re-vote. Sorry, buddy, this goes on. Hillary, as Obama, is in it for the long haul.

All this issues Hillary covered in her campaign in last trips, to Texas, Ohio Vermont and Rhode Island.
If I know , others , who cares about the country, know also, who is the most qualified candidate for the President.
I have the answer: HILLARY !!!!!!!! is the best Candidate !!!!!

Senator Clinton has taken a beating from the press (and others) for the past few months and held her head sky high. She has proven herself an outstanding leader, she did not flinch...
On the other hand, Senator Obama has been rattled by the media for a few days and he is acting like a third grade baby... "I did not do it, she did"... Is that in fact the person we want representing us as a nation?
Not for my family... We are trillions of dollars in debt and we need strength and experience...
Obama is not ready...

P.S, I am watching Cafferty freak out on CNN because he hates Clinton so much it kills him to see people stick up for her... Shame on you media!!!

We gave a Clinton a chance...NAFTA didn't help Ohio. Let's give someone else a chance HRC.

I'm concerned about the weather in Ohio. Hillary's base is older women and many older women will not get out in bad weather to vote. I feel Hillary has the experience in this time of terrible issues. Obama has only been in the Senate three years. He constantly says he was against the war from the beginning yet he was not in the Senate at the beginning of the war...so that's a moot point.

Hillary is not for America or its people; it's all about her and her ego! She is so polarizing that even if she gets elected nothing will get done for the benefit of working people. She'll blame Republicans again and ask for four additional years just like her husband! Bill Clinton knew about energy crisis of Enron and others as early as 1999, but did nothing because he wanted to ride the wave of the economic boom. The guy (Bill) was impeached because he could not keep his pecker in the pants and again to distract attention from himself he bombed a small country of Yugoslavia for 80 days to score a quick victory and boost his ever low popularity.

The Republicans have their guy...... We Democrats NEED to UNITE behind the person who has the most delegates after tonight !!!!
We need to take aim at the Republicans NOW or we might lose in November !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's strange that the issue of Global Warming pretty much melted out of sight. I realize that all of the issues listed are crucial, but none could be as devastating as a the big Meltdown for our kids and their kids.

All I have to say is NAFTA.

If Clinton can't resposibly run the economics of her own campaign how can she be trusted with the economics of this country????

If economy is the primary concern, Hillary is the winner.

Hillary will not be able to be president once she is found guilty of several felonies resulting from the PETER PAUL vs. CLINTONS lawsuit that is currently taking place in the California court system. Why isn't the media reporting on this lawsuit??? McCain and the republicans will blow her away with this and then we'll be stuck with another four years of the Bush policies!

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

I'll tell you how... through obfuscation of the truth and understanding how to use the media to do their bidding for them. Even though there has been no proof of any wrongdoing on Obama, CNN and others continuesto harp about it (giving it credence) because it creates controversy and therefore ratings. Obvously, many people bought into it. I'll give the Clinton's credit, they know how to manipulate very well. CNN and the rest of the media would like to see this contest continue and become uglier because they'll get more stories out of it...

How can CNN post exit polls before the end of voting?

Also, please don't call Hillary a lier unless you hold a actual proof of it NOT an allegation of some involvement.

If there is a lier it is Obama and his double talk to Canada and US voters.

Oh yeah, all those who say Canadians excused Obama, read their DIPLOMATIC statement – they are only sorry they CONVEYED such message – they NEVER DISPUTE the message itself. Welcome to the language of diplomacy (and look up word convey in dictionary – it relates to effect NOT cause, as we SORRY it got out, not denying it happened).

Please CNN post or, please email me if you deem it inappropriate with an explanation. No hard feelings here, if I receive your explanation.

How in the world could any union member vote for Billary Clinton? She's touting her experience...well the experience of the unemployed in Ohio should shut her up for good.

My gut feeling tells me that Obama will take the evening, either through outright vote or by a failure of Clinton to cut into his lead. In either case, for the sake of party unity, Clinton needs to recognize the inevitable and cease the dirty politics.

It doesn't happen as often as it should, but I sense that people are tired of attack politics and will reward those who stay above the fray.

That's not the same as being a punching bag, of course: When someone takes a low blow, it needs to be called attention to – and quickly.

But it must also be remembered that all the monied interests are against the Democrats taking back the White House. If you're not one of those, you need to seriously remember which side your bread is buttered on, and support whichever Democrat takes the nomination.

This Texan voted for Hillary!

Go Hillary!

Hillary will probably win in Ohio. After all, her husband's administration brought so much prosperity to the state. ROFLMAO.

America Is Ready
Obama o8

What more can I say....!

This is a strong issue for me as although I am a housewife even during all this, my husband works under contract work. No security, no health or retirement benefits, no holiday pay and he could be let go at anytime. This all started long ago when companies decided to move jobs over seas instead of keeping them here in the US. He was laid off from Dell in 1996 and since then more companies like AMD, IBM, DELL ect dont hire full time employees they hire contract employees. Gas here is horrible yet we cant move closer to a job that may not be there tomorrow. This is a cycle that seems to hit many. I hope to change that by voting and caucusing.

Obama '08

If you want someone who can handle the economy at this tough time, vote for Hillary!

IF Hillary wins, this will be the first time in my adult life that I will not vote! She is too divisive. If there is any such thing as a Republican Democrat, she is it!

No More White House Dynasty!!!

And don't you just love how she tricked the media into trying to take Obama out??? CNN is about as dumb as the other media outlets for taking the bait

Now how did I know ross would say that. So predictable.

IF Hillary wins, this will be the first time in my adult life that I will not vote! She is too divisive. If there is any such thing as a Republican Democrat, she is it!

No More White House Dynasty!!!

And don't you just love how she tricked the media into trying to take Obama out??? CNN is about as dumb as the other media outlets for taking the bait!!!

That is a smaller gap than I expected, the Hillary camp has been expecting more of a 3 to 1 gap with Hispanics.

Ohio workers will not vote for Clintons again! Talk is cheap and actions talk louder then words!

A third party emerging???

So how could Ohio vote for Hilary, the champion of NAFTA?
