BJ, if you think calling in to question an out right lie by Sen. Obama as negative, you're living in a dream world.

And LISTENER, speaking of ignorant, well err…learn to spell the word first before you call a whole state that!!!!

It is a shame that the primary had to turn negative for Hillary Clinton to win Ohio. Once more the negativities triumph over the real sense of America. This is an example of why the Republicans have been able to use things like this to keep ahead and a hold on the white house.

Good News for Hillary. Gave Hillary's team more time to vote. Every time I hear CNN and the others Report that she is running a negative campaign, it echos through the world What a Negative Campaing The News Media Ran Against Hillary.

Throw her a Kudo guys. What are you afraid of?

This Guy is a liar ( He told the Canadian Government that he is O.K with NAFTA ; behind close door he is saying NAFTA IS O.K and in public he is saying he will negoiate NAFTA )

HE IS A LIAR !!!! OBAMA IS A LIAR !!!

IS THIS CHANGE ?

OR

IS IT YES WE CAN LIE ?

YES WE CAN LIE !!!

YES WE CAN LIE !!!

Normally I don't get this personal, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception. Most of you people posting here are ignorant. Did you people even read the article, or better yet, get off your butts and turn on the news. Here's what the article above says:
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, “Due to reports of ballot shortages in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties, we requested a voting extension in those counties. We received reports of numerous precincts that had outstanding requests into the Board of Elections for ballots. We are working to ensure that every Ohioan who wishes to cast a ballot today may do so.”
Notice the sentence "We received reports of numerous precincts that had outstanding requests into the Board of Elections for ballots." This to me means that the requests were made by the precints first, not by Obama's campaign people. Not to mention that it says every Ohioan, not just Ohioan supporters of Obama.
And as for Florida and Michigan, no their votes should not count, unless they want to do both states over and give each candidate a fair chance to campaign.
And for God's sake will you people please shut up about the cry baby stuff (this goes to both of the candidates supporters). And before anyone decides to jump down my throat I am neither a Clinton supporter or Obama supporter. To be honest if I had my choice it would be Bugs Bunny!

bias media! how can you look into the camera wolf? with 2% of the results in in Vermont and Obama with a 58% to 42% lead you projected him the winner. However, in Ohio with 31% of the results in and Clinton with a 57% to 32% lead you haven't projected her the winner. As a matter of fact you are still calling it a competive race. Every time you mention Canything about Clinton it is with a snide negativity and every mention of Oprah's golden boy Barrack has a positive spin. Shameful journalism and the sad part is that you are not alone.

CNN spent the entire week-end to dig a big hole under Barack Obama to make sure that Hillary Clinton wins BIG today. Shame of them, it was so obvious what they where trying to do. Fortunately, there is no way that the Clinton's can overcome the elected delegates gap.

Hillary can smile and pretend. She is only making her concession speech nice to see. I will be so happy that day. And surely, that day will come. The day where, one of the nastiest couple will be erased from the American political landscape.

I am really tired by the Clintons….We need CHANGE and HOPE for a better future for our kids.

SO CAN YOU BELIEVE OBAMA AGAINST NAFTA AFTER THE MEMO LEAK AND FLIP FLOP OF HIS CAMPAIGN PEOPLE ANSWERING THE EXISTENCE OF THE MEETING?

All I have to say is that all these MCCann voters must be stupid. Why would you vote for such an old man? Don't you realize that this old man will be making laws for all of you young people and spending more of your tax dollars on that war that he and the others in office started. These republicans are snakes. They laugh at us while they take all of our tax dollars and give to other countries and we have to do without. Have you all looked at that stock market? I guess not. The government has all of you too busy worring about this election.

very well im democrat but i don't want hillary to lose
but i wanna go for my democrat no matter whats who's the winner

Look at this:
"Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, “Due to reports of ballot shortages in Cuyahoga and Franklin counties, we requested a voting extension in those counties. We received reports of numerous precincts that had outstanding requests into the Board of Elections for ballots. We are working to ensure that every Ohioan who wishes to cast a ballot today may do so.”
All news reports have reported this evening 10:30 pm Eastern time that the Obama campaign in Ohio cherry picked these counties, there WAS NO SHORTAGE OF BALLOTS.
SHAME ON OBAMA FOR CHEATING.

CAN YOU BELEIVE THE CLINTONS BROUGHT YOU NAFTA AND YOU STILL VOTE FOR THEM IN OHIO.PEOPLE MUST NOT BE VERY BRIGHT IN OHIO.THAT WOULD EXPLAIN IT.OR IGNERANT!!

It seems like people never read the whole story before they start commenting, he's asking for those polling places because of BALLOT shortages not the weather. and KC in Atlanta, he's not trying to keep the voices of Florida and Michigan silent. They went against party rules, rules that Clinton was ok with when she thought she had it in the bag. I couldn't think of a more unfair situation than to count the votes in an unofficial primary. If I lived in one of those states and knew my vote wouldn't count I wouldn't waste the time to cast it. So if they wanted their voices heard, they shouldn't have moved up their primaries against the wishes of the DNC!

This is what it has been all along, African Americans that are voting along racial lines and not voting on the issues. TRUE AND TRUE

Boma: Believe what you want, but the process won tonight. Clinton will take Ohio, but at least it was fair.

Obama files a lawsuit…shades of 2000.

Obama is no different than the rest of them..POLITICS AS USUAL! Don't let this guy fool you. There is absolutely no evidence that this guy is any different. I say he is clearly more the same…
#1 in terms of voting party lines. NOT REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE
Shady real estate deals ("boneheaded" is the same as NOT GOOD JUDGEMENT)
Present votes in Illinois…NOT LEADERSHIP
He took his name off the ballot…DOES NOT CARE ABOUT VOTERS

Fired up!
Go Away!

AP: The difference between Ohio, and Michigan and Florida is that Obama is dealing with it right now regardless of whether it benefits him or not. Clinton waited until she needed Michigan and Florida (much after the polls) to raise issues about what went down.

I know it's still early in Ohio, but there are a lot of light blue sections on the John King map thing. Is there even any way Obama can overcome the early results and actually pull out a victory in Ohio?

LOL A Shortage of Ballots in an area that is pro Obama in a State known for Racism. SURPRISE!!!!!

Question…. If you know how many people are registered to vote then how do you RUN OUT!??

Obama is willing to count the votes in Florida and Michigan if and when they have new elections that actually abide by the rules.

You know, those rules that Clinton agreed to until she started loosing.

For some reason Clinton doesn't want to have a real election, even in the state where Obama wasn't even on the ballot!

IT LOOKS VERY CLOSE IN OHIO AND TEXAS. KEY PRECINCTS ARE STILL OPEN IN BOTH STATES. AT THE END OF THE NIGHT OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NET 5 TO 10 DELEGATES OVERALL. THIS COUPLED WITH SWITCHING SUPER DELEGATES WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HILLARY TO WIN. HER SWITCH OVER TO NEGATIVE POLITICS THIS WEEK HAS INFLUENCED TONIGHT, BUT IN THE LONG RUN, IT IS GOING TO KILL HER CANDIDACY. THE CLINTONS WILL THROW A BIG VICTORY PARTY BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER, BUT IT WILL NOT REFLECT THE REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENED. IT IS JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT OF THE CLINTONS TO PROLONG THEIR EGO TRIP. SHE IS TOAST AND I EXPECT RESPONSIBLE DEMS. TO COME OUT IN THE COMING DAYS AND WAKE HER UP TO HER DEMISE. IF SHE DOESN'T DROP OUT, SHE IS GOING TO END UP AS A SORRY , DEPRESSED AND FORGOTTEN LOSER.

What I don't understand is how with 25%of the Ohio polling places counted and Hillary having a consistent 18-20% lead the media has not called Ohio for her. Not only that, they're syill calling it a close race there.

John McCain just got the GOP nomination…WE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO BE UNITED….SO BARACK SUPPORTERS…PLEASE SWITCH TO HILLARY CLINTON, OUR ONLY CHANCE OF WINNING IN THE ELECTION!!! This is ridiculous, can't Obama supporters see that HILLARY IS THE ONLY VIABLE CHOICE!!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE FOR HILLARY CLINTON '08!!!

Why not keep all the polling places open, not just the ones that favor Obama? So much for clean elections and fair voting rules. CNN needs to stop projecting winners before the polls close in other states.

Hey Carly, If he wants to give ALL the people a chance to vote, why is he fighting to keep the voices of the people in Florida and Michigan silent???????

Gloria should not reduce this to race. Barack has won not only Black but white, not only men but women. He is not a one-dimensional candidate.

So Obama went to court to make sure he could get the high African American counties. Sounds like he's doing the "crying" tonight…..

THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH BALLOTS PRINTED!!! I can't believe anyone is complaining. LET PEOPLE VOTE - IT IS THEIR RIGHT. How would you feel if you showed to vote and they said "NO" because there wasn't enough ballots????

Shame on you, Ohio. I am still amazed at how gullible Americans can be. Voting for Clinton is like voting for McCain.

Sean - He did not stand up for Annamica, he stood up for his hommies as he knows that this is his 'hood'!

Obama believes that everyone has the right to vote. For the past 2 elections we have seen people be stopped from getting to the poles. We have seen Florida and Ohio be used as a smokescreen to cheat. We, as Americans, should be appalled by this. In the past 2 elections, we have seen black people being stopped from getting to the polls. I'm sure white people think it is because there are more black people there. Come on. That's ridiculous. And people talk about Obama being a cry baby. Are you watching the same news as me? Clinton pulled that " why don't people like me" in NH and she's crying now. Everything is unfair, the media isn't fair. If she wants to be president then she needs to put on her big girl panties and quit whining!

WHY IS CNN PROJECTING A WINNER WHEN THE POLLS AREN"T CLOSED!!!

I can't believe people are not outraged. Imagine going to your polling station and them telling you "sorry, there weren't enough ballots printed!" THAT IS CRAZY.

Why is it always in largely African American neighborhoods where this happens???

Obama isn't crying. He's sticking up for voters rights!

We should all be pissed about this. No matter who you vote for. If this was the general election, and Clinton wins the nomination, you better believe she would be seeking a court order to make sure everyone could vote.

HILLARY WINS RHODE ISLAND!!!!!!! 9:33 EST.

If two polls remain open, all should remain open.

I find it sad that two "uniters" who are going to "transform" politics and bring people together can't even get along with each other.

No one in the country thinks Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama is a possible ticket anymore, yet supporters on both sides insist their candidate will bring Washington together and start a new era.

How, when they can't even unite a party?

How can all the news media keep reporting that the democratic primaries are not race based while at the same time they keep reminding viewers how the latinos are voting in favour of Clinton.

While almost keeping silent about the 80+% of the blacks that are voting for Obama. I have come to realize through CNN reports that race based voting by Latinos is racist but race based voting by blacks is simply an understandable voting pattern!

Funny he's not asking a judge to insure that Florida and Michigan voters get a chance to participate.

Glad to see all the Hilary supporters crying to close the polls, Everyone should have the ability to vote. No matter for who. Wake up America

Hillary said this (not me): UNEDUCATED PEOPLE ARE HER MAIN SUPPORT!!
Educated people demand change and challenge and growth.
Uneducated people do the same thing expecting different results.
THINK ABOUT IT

Keeping polls open past the normal time because there weren't ballots isn't anything unusual.

Clintons supporters are crying about Michigan (where Obama wasn't even on the ticket and you couldn't write him in) and Floridas votes aren't being counted. This despite they knew in advance they wouldn't if they didn't follow party rules.

What does seem to be "unusal" is how it always happens in predominantly african american communities.

Yes CA independent.. even *I* will vote for McCain..

WHY NOT?

as if Hillary is not a WHACK JOB.

Dems put her up there .. she represents YOU!

your ROLE MODEL!

she who laughs last, may have the last laugh?

Changing Times:

Yea, I read the article. Did you?? You're obviously one of those voters who cares more about winning no matter how you get it done. You're just another typical Obama supporter. Do you really expect intelligent people to believe that only Columbus and Cleveland ran out of ballots?? You are soooo naive……

They didn't have enough ballots because, historically, blacks DON"T come out to vote in these numbers. Mistakes happen.

I certainly don't remember anyone asking if the rural voters in Wisconsin could make it to the polls when there was a blizzard there during their primary…

This contest has been about RACE from the beginning and it's a sad, sad thing.

If I had voted my race instead of my conscience, I'd have been throwing everything MLK and the Civil Rights movement were about.

Hillar '08!!!

Sorry "JON', Hillary has more of her folks in Michigan than Obama.I can give you at least 20 surburbs in Wayne,Oakland,Macomb and Monroe County that will rather vote for Hillary than Obama.Now if you pitted Hillary over McCain than thats another election my man. Obama areas are places like Detroit to 8mile,Gratiot and Southfield, Southwest Detroit is Mexican Town, mostly Hillary.Ann Arbor will also go for Obama including the Lansing area.Looks like Michigan and Florida will be on Prime Time again before the Democratic Convention and both states will be the ones that probably determine who the Democratic Nominee for President will be.

If and when Obama loses, WE are going to have to deal with the venom.
If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08….

For some reason, I suspect Obama won't support Clinton's request to make the votes in Florida and Michigan count, but where he sees fit the people's vote should count.

Things that make you go "hmmmm…."

Oh come on Ohio! Ballott shortages? Don't do a Bush please.

This story says the polls are being reopened because of the lack of ballots.

So why did CNN just report that they were reopening due to the weather? Just wondering why they (or won't) get it right.

Ballot shortages? Seriously Ohio say you are copying Bush's election tactics.

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

I agree!
I just heard on CNN that 25% of Hillary voters feel the same way.
Go Hillary Go!!!!

that's great that Mr.Obama would go to that extreme to get them to keep the polls open…scared are we?

GO HIL!!!

Someone needs to find out why the poll results in Ohio are so slow in being reported. . .

it;s over for hillary."yes i".thank you texas and vermont

looks like she might be gaining in texas! Please! Please!
We need her.

When will we learn as a people, white, african-american, hispanic that history does repeat itself. It look like Florida has moved to Ohio! Didn't we learn from Florida? Stop the madness this card has been played in Florida!

Cheaters never prosper?
Where the heck do you live "B. Smart?"
I appreciate your disney movie perspective but show me an elected official who didn't cheat to get into his/her position.
In the real world cheaters prosper all the time. And the democrats are no exception to this rule.

Why are people complaining that voters get to vote? There is flooding and they have run out of ballots. It is appropriate they try to resolve this. (Voting absentee is the only way to go).

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

FYI.. I think Sarah Smith up above there is why so many will vote for McCain in the general in Obama gets the primary nomination. What a whack job.

THIS IS A POLL BY THE PEOPLE OF OHIO. IF THEY ARE NOT POLLING AS YOU EXPECTED, IT IS NO REASON TO GIVE THEM MORE TIME. THIS IS SIMPLY A BAD CHOICE OF ETHICS AND WILL BE REMEMBERED BY THE PEOPLE OF OHIO AS A TRUST ISSUE. IS THE OBAMA CAMP REALLY TRYING TO SAY THAT THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS HAVE ARRIVED AT THE POLLS BEFORE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS? IF THIS IS THE CASE. THE MESSAGE THE OBAMA CAMPAIN IS SENDING BY DELAYING THE VOTE PROCESS SAYS MORE ABOUT WHAT THE OBAMA HOUSE WILL BE LIKE. THANK YOU. I AM NOW MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY VOTE TODAY. RICHARD DECKER

Illinois: this is not about the weather. They ran out of ballots. Did you even read the article? No one should not be able to vote due to a shortage!

You people are ridiculous!!!

Bill has fingered something again. Good everyone now can vote, this is what democracy is all about. Otherwise, why have democracy? This shouldn`t be demo-crazy!

Let's see if Obama pulls out a surprising win in Ohio. I'm very impressed by how Americans are turning out to cast their vote, even in horible weather. I believe an Obama/Edwards ticket would not only be winning ticket but America would see a whole new era of prosperity. Republicans tend to define prosperity as money in the bank for a few. Democrats define prosperity as a higher quality of life for all. Republicans and Democrats would fair better under an Obama/Edwards ticket. This election, voters are smarter. We're making history and I, personally, feel inspired.

Hillary is going to split the Democratic party if she does not know when to Quit! People have had enough of her. What part of "loser" does she not understand? Go home Hillary, Please!

How is getting extra ballots and time for voters who need them cheating?

Come on guys! We have to be united. McCain has just grabbed the GOP nomination. Even if we don't like the person running, we have to vote for our democratic principles. Can we at least be resolved in that?

Obama '08

There is no excuse for anyone to not vote in Ohio. It's simple. Just get a ballot by mail a few weeks before election day, fill it out, mail it in. No shortage of ballots, no lines to stand in, no weather to worry about. It's actually a very painless process.

How can Obama only file a law suit in two of the Ohio counties. I live in Ohio and weather was bad in many more areas than these two counties. He is cherry picking primarily black counties.

What is waiting for democrats in November if Hillary is the nominee?

I would like to remind you of the prophetic words of a dead man, late Rev. Jerry Falwell: “I certainly hope that Hillary is the candidate. I hope she's the candidate, because nothing will energize my (constituency) like Hillary Clinton. If Lucifer ran, he wouldn't”

If Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democrats' presidential nominee in 2008, it will motivate republicans to oppose her more than if the devil himself were running.

In Texas, republicans are voting for Hillary. Why?

The question is does Obama continue with positive politics or does he now fight Hillary with HIllary fire and pull out all the crap and cheating she's done over the years? I hope he doesn't…and continues the high road.

Anyway look at the map even if she wins, she'll still be behind in delgates!

Obama and his supporters getting a pillows again. The judge should ask Obama to cover the campaign worker extended hour. It is not fair using a tax money to pay those workers on behalf of Obama

Let's see if Clinton countersues/tries to suppress or lets the people vote. Her camp should come out and say right away that anyone in Ohio who wants to vote should have their vote counted. This is the Democratic primary, not the Bush-owned federal election. Even silence on this from her camp speaks loudly…

Hey Ohio - get with the program! Apparently, you all want the same 'ole, same 'ole in Washington. Keep your eyes open because Hillary is going to wave all your jobs across the ocean……start waving goodbye.

After Bush as President a person would hope you crazy Americans would want a leader that has at least a littlebit of intelligence but NO! You will elect Obama won't you .No wonder USA is going bankrupt. I just hope as a Proud Canadian you fools do not take us with you.

The not enough ballots issue has been happening all over the country. Participation is absolutely amazing this year.

according to the polls, that haven't really closed hilliary ur only up by a mere 3,000 votes, I smell a pure sweep, we got texas, & vermont, lol what's next.

I agree with Obama on this one… Second thing……… Why are we even using paper ballots still? 2008 people not 1908.

Not everyone in this county is African American. You see Hillary signs everywhere in this county. Obama is doing Hillary supporters a huge favor. Hillary is going to take this state, and Texas too.

Holding the polling places open in two counties, but not the others, is a double standard and unfair.

Obama 08
Yes We CAN get the democratic candidate vote and then lose to McCain because we haven't been tested in a really contentious race!
Yippee!!!

The Ohio conspiracy strikes again! Barack! Ask John Kerry about the Ohio voting system. This is more evidence that we need a nationalized voting standard.

No, we know who usually cries…

not sure how this is something you can turn into proobama or proclinton but whatever

Go Barack Obama!!! Change is what we need right now!!!

Annamica:

How can you sit here and say that Obama needs to stop crying? There are no guarantees that those in that precinct will even vote for him. He does, however, believe that everyone should have the right to vote. He stood up for you, yet you mock him.

. . . . . . . .CHEATERS NEvER PROSPER.

agree with jenny.

GO OBAMA!

Go Barack go!! Finish strong and win this thing …. I sure hope they let us revote here in Michigan .. because it won't even be close!!

Obama, cheating again… Great…

So, if polling places are still open (not just in Ohio, but also in Texas — for several hours yet out where I live) — WHY IS CNN REPORTING RESULTS??? Didn't they learn in 2000 not to report results while people might still be deciding whether or not to vote (or caucus, etc.)?

If every vote counts why cant Hillary have her Florida and Michigan votes? This has been a one sided event. Go Hillary

Cool it Jenny, Clinton and Obama have almost identical policy positions.

Obama is not crying he is just a civil right attorney and understand the injustice of the voting practice as it has always disenfranchised people of lower socio-economic groups!

GOOD , Let the peoples voices be heard , and don't let the Clinton folks take home ballot boxes this time.

What an exciting day to be an American! I just got back from my caucus and it was a MAD house! We actually ran out of forms to write down votes on. And what was interesting to me was the African American turn out vs. the white turn-out. My area is pre-dominately white, however the caucus was 90-95% African American. An ideas as to why? There were a lot of Obama supporters too. Yay

Sorry Annamica, OH I wasn't aware that requiring a fair election was crying… Maybe you think this is Russia.

YES WE CAN!
Obama 08

let every vote count?

including Florida and michigan

wow … prayers in one sentence. Name-calling in the other!!! nice. Oh, and by the way, I can see that Obama is really going to change the way D.C. works, he is already filing lawsuits to keep polls open. He's just like any other politician!

This will not matter because Clinton will find a way to win. I am not surprised this is happennng.

Way to go Ohio AGAIN. Dirty politics over and over to prevent people from voting again. NOT ENOUGH BALLOTS AND THIS IS AFRICAN AMERICAN AREAS.
Thank God a judge stepped in.

go hillary…don't let the pathetic rotten pest obama get in your way,,,,,

Good. I knew Hillary would find a way to cheat her way to the nomination. She is looking more and more like a republican using there tactics. Anything to win even if the will of the voters are compromised.

Boo hoo Barack Obama!!! You are such a crybaby!!! Why can't you just accept the fact that Hillary is winning in Ohio and your not!

IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT, THEN GET OUT DA' KITCHEN!!!

Hillary, YOU ROCK!!! Keep those votes a' coming!

HILLS '08!!!

Annamica, what's funny about voters not being able to cast their vote? How ignorant

Oh, Please
She's way ahead in Ohio
Go Hillary!

It would seem that Obama is more concerned about winning a primary than he is about the potential risk of injury to voters. I do not think Senator McCain would have risked an injury to voters. This also sends a subliminal message about his real concern for the health parents in that area.

NC

So now African americans can vote for longer duration than whites! No racism. GOBAMA

Its a shame that polling problems only occur in the black community. Anyone thinking of Florida 4 years ago? Wow! 2008, and still, we have a long way to go. I am with u Jenny, Go Barack, Go!

They should have done the same for Memphis Tn

How can they run out of ballots……it is crazy. I hope everyone gets to vote who was there on time.a

Obama 2008

GO OHIO!

GO UNDER!

YOU DON;T WANT CHANGE

you want more of the same old hag

well good for you!

YOU don't want to face reality.. we've got a problem and

SHE CONTRIBUTED TO IT..

good for you OHIO! my parents were born raised there,

my son was born there.

OHIO LAND OF NO CHANGE.. UNION BUROCRACY

YOU'll Get what's comming to you! Losers!

Boo-hoo Oh-bummer! Ohioans are smart!

This stinks. Go Obama voters, for speaking up about these irregularities. Thanks to the judge for taking action.

Obama 08
Yes We CAN!!!!!!!

Oh-Bama, stop crying! LOL
