CNN

Why the fuss? You will reap what you sow! the more negative the clinton campaign is the better for Obama.........
its very spiritual........Stay positive Obama, this is it!
hahahaha

Mike Bloomberg , John McCain or Barry Obama–aren't they all under the same ownership–just different flavors of marketing.

Give me Hillary, any day.

once he gets in the white house (if he does) you'll think there is going 2 to b change , think again.this man is not going 2 do nothing 4 this country. he really has everybody fooled. go hillary , go get them all

Hillary Clinton used to be a good politician. Now just just plays politics well. Sorry, but when she sold herself to the evil insurance companies who spend their time deciding which Americans can live or die; I decided to vote for someone who is not so corrupted.

If you want to know who a candidate will work for just follow the money.

What gets me is hillary said at the stock yard in texas. If she is elected, and people get loans for a teacher or social service they wont have to pay tose loans back. If i was a loan compay and loaned money to a student to be a teacher. i sure would want my money back. how would she make sure i get my money back to the loans i give students. yep the tax payers...she said she will make college more affordable. how can youdo that?

Go Hillary!!!

Ohio under our belt. No one has ever won the general election without winning Ohio.

Go Hillary!!!

I agree with Karen and by the way, anything in the past about Hillary is old news. Actually, it was about Bill. Hillary has done a great job and she is far more informed about governmental policies than Barack. Based on the blogs, I believe it has become a nasty and racist race and the Democrats will stand to lose. Maybe Karl Rove's tactic (to divide the Dems – and to cause a wedge by blaming the Clinton camp for these so call smear tactics) has worked. As for Hillary going negative, she has, like any other candidate have the right to challenger her opponent. In fact, Barack has as you say, gone negative on both McCain and Clinton. It is only the Obama supporters that want Hillary out. As far as I can see it is pretty much 50/50 and Hillary would be foolish to drop out.

CNN, if Obama is the Democratic nominee you can count my vote in your 25%! I will either be voting for McCain or not voting at all!!! Obama has little experience and at least McCain has some grasp of life's realties, being that in order to get the job, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST SOME EXPERIENCE TO SHOW FOR!

Hillary '08!!! We know you'll end up winning Ohio and Texas!!! Good will finally prevail over evil...BARACK OBAMA WILL LOSE MAJORLY!!!

So let's save time and money in 12 and just have superdelegates do it

In the real world the Rezko and Ayers and other Chicago stuff makes an Obama election and inauguration an impossibility.

So who exactly benefits from the fantasy that it is possible?

I hear Mayor Bloomberg is still denying he'll make a run–but petitioners for him in many states are still getting paid.

Hey BELLINI MUSSOLINI,I,m not from Ohio but judging by your UNAMERICAN comment and NAME ,you must not be FROM HERE, thats 1 and second,if you are, theres alot of hardworking,iron fisted native Ohioians living in EVERY STATE of the Union .You might slip up in public one day.

Didn't OHIO vote Bush back into the White House? I said then, it's gonna be a bumpy ride and it was, and then some. Ya know, the problem w/the Clinton campaign and supporters is that they THINK that all of the RECORD turnout for the primaries is somehow attributed to them...NEWSFLASH...IT'S NOT!!! OK, let's say Clinton wins the nomination. I seriously doubt the democratic turnout will be ANYTHING near what it is now. Here's MY prediction...Blacks and the young voters will drop off, Hispanics will vote for her, but not enough of them to carry her to the White House, no matter how much they like to think their votes will determine the election. Others will vote for John McCain just out of spite for Hillary and/or Bill. Welcome to the White House, John McCain...and 4, perhaps 8, more years of Bush policies. Will OHIO even be considered a state when the republicans ram the last nail in the NAFTA coffin and nobody is living there because all the jobs will be gone???

I guess some don't get it. Most of the people who voted for Omana just don't like Clinton and I personally don't think will support her, leaving us with 1 choices: not vote for Hillary leaving the the field open for McCain

"Nonetheless, I a veteran want in the White House one who has worn Uncle Sam's uniform. This nation will be better served with John McCain as President than Barack Obama."

Um, didn't bush wear a uniform....?

McCain for Commander-In-Chief! I still do not understand what Obama's plans will be after IRAQ worsens following troop removal. Help us to better understand....COMMUNICATE TO THE PUBLIC WHAT YOUR PLAN LOOKS LIKE? Remember this, it is action – not words. Saying "Change" does not cut it....explain the PLAN!

Hillary – the candidate for all of the stupid, sheep Democrats who vote based on name recognition and the accomplishments of the woman's husband. How sad. Sad that you fall for her disingenuous campaign tactics and maudlin theatrics.

"Nonetheless, I a veteran want in the White House one who has worn Uncle Sam's uniform. This nation will be better served with John McCain as President than Barack Obama."

Um, Bush wore a uniform....right?

I am happy for Obama and for Clinton. All of you HILLARY LOVERS AND ALL OF YOU OBAMA LOVERS. In retro-spec if Hillary does not win you will be voting for Obama and if Obama does not win you will be voting for Hillary. So stop your hating. Both would be good in the white house.

Of course Obama had to make the "running against McCain" comment. We Hillary supporters have been trying to tell you he's a pompous hindend and blowhard for months now.

USA don't need a voodoo priest for president

Senator Clinton I want to thank you for what you are doing in this race for President . I also would like to see you and Senator Obama take the two top seats in Amercia. I'm looking for you to win this election and Senator Obama as Vice President or the other way around as long as you two run the country. I believe America needs both of you to fix Bush's wrongdoings.

Hillary supporters fashion themselves much after her, disrespectful and speaks before thinking.

Thank you CNN for the Update(clarification) to this article filed under Obama and Mccain that states Clinton also called Mccain to congratulate him.

hmm will people give hillary her due seeing how see called mccain now? I doubt it . Obama supporters need to stop beign so mean spirted because you know what if michagan and florida delegates had been counted Obama would be behind.

Congratulations, Mr. MCain. I applaud you and I applaud Senator Obama for being the first of the Democratic contendors to extend his hand to you to offer his congratulations on the Rebublican nomination.

You’ll still lose. But you are a worthy opponent.

McCain will win if Dems don't unite. This is disgusting.

If Clinton goes on Obama may have to fight back, fire with fire if he wants to stay in the race. And then I'll be disgusted and have to vote for the positive, distinguished candidate McCain.

GO HILLARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Y.... BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

i can't wait to vote for her in Pennsylvania!!!!!!

Alittle weird coming from someone who was just in the news of having an apparent feud with McCain but it is very admirable of him to do so and i believe hillary would have done the same thing if she was in his situation. Infact when she was the lead she was looking towards what she was going to wear to the convention when she accepted her nomination but now shes just praying to see the likes of tomorow.
GO CHANGE!!! Down with John W. McCain or George Junior

It was very cultured and diplomatic of him to do that.

Go Obama!!!

Thomas, I agree with you. If Hillary is the nominee, I'm afraid I will vote McCain.

if superdelegates are to vote for who won the primary vote, then what's the point in even having super delegates?

the whole purpose of superdelegates is to make up for people's stupidity. and so now ted kennedy and john kerry should support clinton because she won their states?

I hate when pple get all cocky just makes me want Hillary to win even more.

what's wrong wtih Superdelegates voting for who they think best represents their democratic party. Oh yeah because Superdelegates are not Republicans or Independent voters.

wow. I just love reading these ignorant statements about Obama being a gentleman. Like all politicians, Obama has skeletons in his closet too. Obama wants change? If Obama wins, all we'll have left in our pockets is change. If 8 years of an inexperienced president wasn't enough for you Obama supporters, then go ahead and vote for him, cause this country will just keep continuing in it's downward spiral with oSama as president!

People WAKE UP! Do you think the very countries we are having trouble with will respect the US if it is ran by a woman? NO!!! They don't even respect their own women. There will be a lot more war if she gets into the Whitehouse, not because she wants to but because they are going to look at the US as being WEAK and they will start this mess up all over again.

She spends much of her time trying to undermind Obama and he in turn responds to her slander and keep on track with business.

Thanks Obama for being the adult here! When he was in Austin he even asked his supporters to pray for the police that was killed on her rally in Dallas which she was 2 hours late for and everyone left. Is that who ya want? A procrastinator?

Chris Matthews is right. This is all about Hillary and Bill Clinton's ambitions instead of the voters "spoken" (votes) intentions. The voters continue to speak loud and clear by voting for Obama and now Hillary is filing a lawsuit in Texas claiming Obama "stole " the election from her in that state. Gee, she's doing what Bush did to Gore in Florida, folks.!! Talk about divide and conquer and being a sore loser. Hillary obviously learned to become just like the right wing neocons she whines unfairly attacked her. This is exactly why voters want change and clearly Hillary is all about Hillary and business as usual, not change. Hillary is dividing the party and trying to scare voters into electing her. Shame on you Hillary. No change, just more of her obsession with becoming president and Bill, co-president. If they
( Hillary and Bill) cared about the voters and uniting the Democratic Party, Hillary would not be siding with McCain tonight by saying she and McCain are the only ones with enough experience and qualifications to be President. Thanks Hillary. The Republican Party doesn't have to do their dirty work against Obama because Hillary Clinton is now doing it for them with her ads, comments. and innuendos. Hey, Hillary, why not just run on the ticket with McCain?

If Hillary wants a fight, Obama supporters will give her one!!!!

Just get down to it.. PLEASE!!! hard work and years of experience mEANS sooooooo much MORE!!!! GO HILLARY!!!

Kathleen,

Not to point out the obvious, but the Republicans have used everything there is to use against the Clintons (Hillary and Bill). All of the Clinton skeletons are out.
Also, hardcore Republican Ann Coutler is seriously behind Hillary, stating that she is the more conservative of the 3. What does that tell you about which dem can cross party lines?

I am Obama supporter and I think he is great guy who can deal with other countrys.Obama hope ends when u stop dreaming so dream big and hopefully u will be the next American leader and great hero.

Senator Obama hasn't won the nomination yet. His call and that comment–looking forward to running against McCain in the fall–just considerably lowered my respect for him. Senator Clinton can still win!

I guess Hillary's scorched earth strategy will keep this primary election going on till we get to Denver. But can anyone tell me how she can realistically win the nomination, if as the pundits have stated, there are not enough elected delegates remaining for her to even catch up with Obama. Will she somehow go so negative on Obama and then try to convince superdelegates that he is unelectable this fall? This will rip the democratic party into. What disaffected Obama supporter and what Republican will vote for Hillary Clinton against a moderate John McCain? I would have never guessed that the Democrats would lose again after 8 years of George Bush. I am a six-digit income professional and have been a democrat all my adult life, but maybe its time to vote my financial status and not my heart. God knows poor white people and women are not ready for real change in this country.

Did someone allude to Hillary not being a gentleman?

Lisa: "Apparently you didn't hear the CNN statistics. 25% of Hillary voters would vote for McCain before Obama. Wake up! The democrats will lose if Obama is the democratic candidate."

I will never vote for Hillary Clinton. My wife will never vote for Hillary Clinton. And the rest of my family will never vote for Hillary Clinton. I promise you, if Hillary attempts to steal this nomination, as it is virtually impossible for her to gain it otherwise, Hillary will not just lose, but suffer an overwhelming defeat at the hands of those very voters she disenfranchises... voters like myself and my family, who support Obama. And every single Republican in the United States has been waiting for YEARS to cast a vote against that woman. To suggest that she is electable in a general election simply defies all logic.

OBAMA YOU ARE A SCHOLAR AND A GENTLEMAN

Obama supporters see the move as gracious, charismatic, optimisitc and slightly tongue-in-cheek.

Obama detractors/Hillary supporters see it as arrogant, presumptuous, and out-of-line.

It's all about perspective.

On another note, the trend I seem to be seeing is that Republicans are extremely unlikely to vote for Hillary, ever. But I know of several Republicans that would vote Obama if it came down to Obama/McCain. Anyone else notice something similar, at least among Republicans? Obviously, my polls are a little skewed, haha, but I thought it was interesting regardless.

It is right down stupid to expect that Super Delegates should vote based on what others have voted. That boils down to SUPER DELEGATES NOT HAVING A VOTE......and if that is the case....why even have Super Delegate votes if they are just going to copy the majority vote??

To tell anyone that they have to vote based on what the majority have voted is not only UNFAIR BUT RIDICULOUS!

It is the same as telling a Juror that it does not mater what he thinks, he must go along with what the rest of the Jury believes.

Nonsense!

Hillary08

seriously? reading most of the comments on here, I would think I am on a 4th grade playground.

kudos to all of you on both sides who are keeping he commentary constructive.

As a Democrat, if Clinton wins the Democratic primary, I will vote for McCain if Obama doesn’t run as an Independent

will tomorrow still come ?

wisdom comes with age.

children of this nation follow your grandparents.

they have always steered you right.

He didn't get my vote and am I glad! His call to McCain could have been too soon!

Oh yeah, let's all continue to waste our vote on Obama. We must have not had enough of Bush's arrogance. Let's just hurry up and pick a successor!

Sinoe Man, I appreciate and respect your comments. While I am an Obama supporter, I would also like to recognize Sen. McCain for his honorable service to our country. I have immense respect for him and what he's endured in our name, but do feel very strongly that Obama's proven track record in working with members of both parties are what this country needs to start coming back together. You need look no further than this blog to see how deeply divided we still remain... and a house divided against itself cannot stand. I feel Obama offers us the best chance of beginning to bridge those divisions. Will it be easy? Of course not, but he alone is willing to make that effort.

Hey Rob, wait till the at least half the vote is counted before calling it for Obama!!!!!!!

Obama is so arrogant! Grow up man! You still havent WON ANYTHING!

Hillary...a president? Not a chance, Obama has what it takes and when he recieves the nomination that will be clear. Obama for 08!

Oh and I guess...

In your dreams Hillary!

OBAMA 08!

Clinton can not win this, by her trying to hold on now is going to rip the party apart. It is in bad shape now. Clinton be a lady with a little honour now, hold your chin up and bow out with the grace of a true contender. It is sad to watch one grasping at bits and pieces including lies, mud slinging and fear mongering. Maybe take some time and try to mend the party before it's to late. This is no time to try and feed you ego.

Obama 08

Why would he make that call? He has not won yet? Wow the more I know Obama, the more he bothers me. He is still in the middle of a very competative race. He needs to be focusing on winning the nod from his own party. It ain't over yet

Do you think there is a republican message board somewhere where Huckabee supporters are saying "I'd rather vote for Obama OR Clinton than John McCain!" I think not.

Cathy,
"Hillary supporters–Why do you think Rush Limbaigh wanted Republicans to vote for Hillary? Because she is beatable. "

Apparently you didn't hear the CNN statistics. 25% of Hillary voters would vote for McCain before Obama. Wake up! The democrats will lose if Obama is the democratic candidate.

Im really surprised he can make a comment like this. Pretty close in texas and he is way behind in Ohio. A little cocky, but i think good intentions in the end

I love Obama, Michelle and those two beautiful girls and
want them to be in our White House. All of you Hillary lovers
Obama never want to sling the dirt on her but her record
goes way back to a cattle investment in Arkansas that the
Clintons scammed people on. Now, does Obama use this.
The Republicans will and she will lose the election. The
Reps. and Rush Limbaugh can't wait to go up against her
and Bill's misgivings. They know them all by heart and will
be slamming her. She has more skelatons in her closet
than her and Bill have bones.

OBAMA 2008

Go Hillary! As a democrat I would rather stay home than support Obama. His audacity of being arrogant! He understands little except to say I agree with Sen. Clinton. If he wins it is only because a majority of black voters cast their ballot based upon his skin color. What is that called again? We already elected someone who had no experience for the job, look what got us. He has been softballed by the media and now we have to deal with his arrogance. I don't think so.

Its not over yet.......People need to look at the 2 and see what each one of them have done for this country at this point. Color or gender is not the factor. Clinton has always fought for what she believed in. She has the attitude to help this country be back to what it was years ago. People need to think if one of these democrates are elected what changes will take place not just in the White House but with the world as we know it. This election will not just affect us but others around it.

Agree with you 100% Jen!
OBAMA, sorry but don't dream with the White House yet!
You are not ready for it.

At Election, Hilary+McCain = Another Republican Primary.

Hey Dave, Presidential? Talk about arrogance!!! He best get the nomination first, and he won't. The superdelegates will go "politics first, last and always". They know he can't win against McCain.

What a gentleman and how presidential. He wins more people over by being positive rather than trying to be cunning and slick. No one wants a dishonest person like HRC in office. And who cares about Ohio–the home of the stupid and unemployed. There's more to American than just one state. Look at the map and see how many he's won......duh! That's why he's ahead. We all love him!

Yes Paul he did sound very arrogant in saying he looks forward to running against McCain in the fall, besides , the weather gets alittle chilly and rainy in the fall.The best time would be Spring of 2009 so he should hibernate the rest of the year{ SMILE} He is behind 16% in Ohio right now and has only a 1-2% lead over Hillary in Texas.McCain wins Round 1 " DING".

Ever since Hillary accused the Media of siding Obama, Obama is being bashed at! It's ok... Hillary is a not a fair loser. I mean why should she be well treated if she lost 11 primaries in a row.....

Arrogant! Will he tell us tomorow that he didn't say that?

I am soo tired of your program injecting racial overtones in all of your comments.

You never talk or mention possible White blacklash against other Whites that support any politician.

You are always talking African Americans against Hispanics.

Thank you Hillary for going so negative! Keep slinging the rhetoric so it will be even harder for the democratic nominee to beat John McCain.

It will be so funny watching a war hero loose to a newbie senator........ yeah right. The republicans will play up his experience. Compared to Obama, I think Hillary would fair better against someone with so much experience. Even I, a good domocrate, think that experience is a better thing to have in a leader. McCain would get stuff done, I am not sure Obama can do it... Hillary V. McCain I go McCain, McCain V Obama, I go McCain.

McCain will stomp Hilliary in the Fall if she is the Dem. She has more luggage than Chicago Ohare or L.A.X.

OBAMA 08

It seems Texas going 50/50 between Hillary and Obama, which is a bad sign for Sen.Hillary.

Yep SNL will love this one

Wow, it's so cute and presidential when he's all cocky and stuff...

we love obama go go go Senator Obama go! Obama vs. McCain will be a true presidential race this time . Since he appeals to many AmericansI believe Obama has a great chance to win.

I talked with many Texas Republicans and they were going to vote for Hillary against Obama. Good thing we only really had one Republican running!

ow disrespectful of Obama. Ron Paul hasn't formally dropped out yet.

Politics is growing negatively in America. Democrats may choose to be flip flop to give up the White House to Republicans.

Obama is meaning every word to run McCain this Fall. Unless the Democratic party is giving up the race, then Hillary should be their candidate.

Go Obama go!

More hot air coming from B.O. He is losing OHIO big time.

"Political positioning" means fooling voters. Shame on you, Obama!

Tony Rezko is a big bomb for corrupted Illinois government. Sooner or later, we will know.

Hillary 08!!

I can see SNL this week. Wolf Blitzer – "In the Ohio Primary, 90 percent Clinton 10 percent Obama....95 percent of precients reporting...still extremely competitive!"

We the people can not make a true informed decision about Obama at this time. His integrity is no better than what they have ACCUSED the Clinton's of. The only difference is that Hillary has been in the public eye a lot longer than Obama has. Give Obama enough time and power, I fear, his true colors will shine. I cannot believe people think that this man's integrity is so perfect. I don't believe that all people are bad, however, given enough power and the opportunity it is only human nature to take advantage of an unlawful gain. We know what we are getting when we elect Hillary, she has a very strong positive track record. Obama on the other hand might be a sheep in wolves clothing, we don't know at this time. It scares me to death to think Obama may get elected, he could turn out like Bush or even worse? I am not willing to take that chance. My vote goes to Hillary, a proven leader, a proven responsible person, a person we can count on to make rational decisions at the most critical times and she is "what you see is what you get". No worries about another poor leader if Hillary is elected. Hillary knows what to expect and knows what to do about. Obama needs to continue with his political ambition as a Senator a few more years, and then we the people will be able to make an informed decision about him.

regardless of who youre fanatical about,,,, try counting. It really does look like Obama will run against McCain. Is this a surprise to anyone?

What gives Obama the right to tell McCain, that he looks forward to the General Election against him; what makes him think that he is the Democratic Nominee? Maybe he should wake up, since it is not over yet.

I find it curious and confusing that Hillary Clinton and John McCain appear on your CNN political ticker band, and Barack Obama, who has won the last 12 primaries does not. I'm not putting forth any conspiracy theories (vast right-wing or otherwise) but I, and I suspect I'm not alone, would like to know the reason.

If Hillary gets superdelegates even from states largely won Obama, iI promise you that the democratic party will not take back the White House in November 2008. I will vote for Mc Cain so is many of my relatives.

It was my understanding, the candidate with the most popular votes
would be the nominee and superdelegates would vote with their constituents. Why do we have elections if the people are always
ignored?

CNN and their political analyists continue to forget that Clinton
won big in Florida and Michigan, delegates she has been
denied, why would she consider droping out when in reality
she probably will end up at the convention with a larger popular
vote, you remember the will of the people....
The Democrats let George Bush steal one election, are they
hell bent on handing them this years election too by denying
the rightful votes be counted again this year?

the man is gracious to call the gop victor. give him credt for being presdential.

I really don't think that there's anything wrong with Barack speaking as if he had gained the nomination already in such a public setting. Back when this race started every candidate was saying "When I am president" left and right...I think that Barack was just following the conventional expressions of confidence on top of being courteous to McCain; I certainly don't think that he believes this race is over.

We need all these old people out of office. Its time for the newer generation. OBAMA all the way!

I am looking forward to seeing Obama run for president. Of course McCain has more experience, he's what, 70 or so years old! lol. Come on, Do you REALLY think he's going to be around that much longer. Seriously, we need someone with some new ideas in the white house, Obama for president!!!

Where's Huck? Probably still hangin around!

why are Hillary supporters so full of hate and negetivity?

Well done, Obama! I think you are way more diplomatic than Hillary.

Obama '08

Clinton is the fighter. She can go against McCain much better than Obama

That is the kind of guy Obama is, a cool civil and congratulatory type. This is the kind of guy we want making diplomatic progress for our country, not a divisive calculating rude woman.

I think he will have to congratulate him once again if he wins the Democratic party nominations.

Hillary '08

CNN can go ahead and call Ohio for Hillary Clinton.

Obama called the wrong Senator to congratulate...he'd better have Hillary on speed dial.

Hillary '08

Very diplomatic of Obama to make the call, but very presumptious of Obama to say " look forward to runnning against him in the fall"

Maybe something along the lines- looking forward to a great race between Democrats and Republicans in November.

"Freedom isn't free"

Too many angry people here....just vote for a republican again, whats another 4 years of job losses, Iraq war (100 years), falling dollar, bankruptcies.....

Isn't it like Hillary supporters to take any chance they can to run down others? True signs of a campaign confident in their ability to win.

Brett Favre never once had to talk about his credentials – every else did it for him.

Too bad Hillary thinks she has to prove herself. It only shows she isn't as successful as she thinks she is.

Gee I'm glad he isn't arrogant...I wonder what he'd say about Hillary if she did that?

meanwhile Clinton will be nagging with the same old kitchen sink tactics

obama first needs to thank all of the republicans who voted for him in texas.

Obama will win. Period. He has a better chance of beating McCain.

That was one phone call that shoot McCain to his very core. Because it will be an impossible fight for him to win. But with Hillary – piece of cake.

Let the race begin Obama vs McCain GO OBAMA!

Good news for you democrats who would rather vote republican in the general elections, the trend is the other way round.
More republicans are joining the democrats so your vote will not mean anything. Its time for the country to unite not devide. Together we stand and divided we fall. The entire country fall whether democrats or republicans. America needs to restore ints place in the world and that will not happen with this destructive political tactics. The dollars keeps depreciating everyday as compare to other world currencies. If that doesn't scare you all wait until the Euro is adopted the universal currency replacing the dollar that is when you all will realize what the republicans have destroyed in the past 8 years.

It just goes to show what kind of leader the American public is choosing over someone much more experienced to run this race and WIN. Hillary is a great candidate and much more able to fight congress and the senate.

That kind of attitude from Obama is just outright immature to say this early in the race. He talks of the negative ads and comments allegedly made by the Clinton campaign... but what kind of comment is this?

Wake up Obama ! Hillary will take the White House in 2009 !!

shut up. GO MCCAIN!!!

Of course Obama called to congratulate McCain- he knows they will be running against each other in November and that is what collegial competitors do-Obama will be the next president-we are done with the lying/thieving Bush & Clinton regimes!! Go Obama.........

Please all you Obama haters grow up. Obama will do this thing

I called McCain to say Congrats Mr. President, because it does not matter which Dem gets the nomination, McCain wins.
In our over-zealous support of our chosen candidates, both Hillary and Obama supporters have alienated the supporters of the other.
Welcome to the Whitehouse President McCain.

Barack and McCain will both have us in a war in Iran before 2009 is over. Obama sounds more hawkish with each speech. Did no one listen during the debate when he said he'd bomb Pakistan and take us right back into Iraq? If he thinks this war was so wrong in his superior judgement, why isn't he talking about alternatives to combat? If Iraq was not a threat in 2003, why is he so willing to toe the Bush line and keep our servicepeople there? To compete with McCain?
Sorry, I think Hillary is truly the only one to get us out and KEEP us out! And I am calling on her to stay in this race. People are finally starting to ask Obama some tough questions, and Mr. Smooth doesn't seem to be able to say anything other than "I agree with Hillary." You WANT that kind of leadership? No thanks.

WELL DONE ! OBAMA

How nice of Obama to congratulate Macain.Don't count your chickens before they hatch Obama !!!! I have faith Clinton is still in the game and my guess is she is going to be there in the fall

To Jen and any other "I'll vote for McCain over Obama" democrats, I guess we should just give McCain the keys to the White House now because I'll vote for McCain over any Clinton. You don't care if it takes the party down in flames and neither do I.

Don't count your chickens until they are hatched. Ohio is Hillary. Texas will prevail for the right candidate...Go Hillary!!

I am a OBAMA supporter and must admit that the comments from BARACK are a bit premature but they kind of remind me of when dubya made that premature statement of acceptance against Gore.
It was accepted at that time, let's accept it this time! GO OBAMA!!!

Obama and McCain are candidates with principles. I rather watch them compete in Presidential election.

Hillary betrays her own party. She would rather squashes her own party opponent and promote the republican candidate!

The truth of the matter, it that the notion that she will blow Obama out of the election, just isn't true. Sorry to hurt you Clinton fans feelings and your false utopia's on the democratic nomination, but I think we all know who the people want to run on the democratic ticket. I don't think Obama was being ignorant, he was being confident in that he will be the next president, who I will proudly vote for. So all you ungrateful Clinton fans with your false ideologies of her becoming the next president, I am so sorry to disappoint you LOL!

OBAMA 2008

Hillary is surging–she's kinda like Rocky, who was on the ropes with a bloody face and hurt body but somehow summons the courage to win OHIO, RHODE ISLAND, and now is close in TEXAS. I think Obama's ties with the underworld is hurting him.

Obama is a gentleman. Obama, Michelle and those
two beautiful girls deserve to be in the White House.

I'm with John, Jen I think 98% of America will still sleep tight without your vote hun. Your almost as emotional as Hillary so sad NOT!

Barack,

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched!

Obama lives by what he says. Unlike some other candidates. Obama you are a true gentleman. Keep up the good fight cause hope shall prevail.

What arrogance! Read Luke 1, Obama. It says that the arrogant are scattered in their thoughts. Get ready to be scattered.

Obama's day is over in this race, period. A few days of negativity from Clinton almost destroied him. Does anyone believe that he is ready for Carl Dove's type of attack or Democrates can win in general election with him as our choice? Wake up and do the real thinking, "educated people"!!!

I think we really need to understand that if Hillary has to mudsling to win against someone in her own party, how could we expect her to win the Presidential Election. We need to understand that the PEOPLE favor Obama tremendously and we need someone who WILL win against John McCain!

Obama has shown what he can do. Under estimating him has failed.

I wish him the best in the general election.

Claiming victory before the votes are counted. Now that is the ultiimate arrogance. Neither Clinton nor Obama will have enough votes to win. The convention will decide the candidate and reasonable people (party faithful) will decide for Hillary because she stands a better chance to beat McCain. America wins either way because Hillary and McCain are doers not talkers.

Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone tell me how CNN can claim that Ohio is still "competitive"? They are making it too easy for Saturday Night Live this week.

It was good of Obama to call McCain to congratulate him. Gee I wonder of Hillary called.

She has worked so hard to destroy Obama, I don't think she took time to be gracious. I was so sorry to see that the way she wins is to be so mean.

I hope Hillary will call McCain tonight to congratulate him, too.
She will need a special cabinet member to remind her of congratulating other people all the time.

I can't wait until all the dirt on the Clinton's start coming out. It's gonna be a looooonnngggg spring. Jack Cafferty hit on just a tid bit of the Clinton scandals. Brace yourselves, you Hillary supports, it's gonna get ugly and crying and/or going on SNL, will not help.

Jen I am with you.
Hillary or nothing

One word for Obama: GRACIOUS

It doesn't cost a thing to be civil to your opponents/enemies or whatever. That's the kind of diplomacy we need with foreign policy.

The only way Hill wins now is if she goes negative negative NEAGATIVE against Obama and hope he cracks. It will potentially put McCain in the White House. She will not have a lead in pledged delegates when it is over. The math is easy. Hillary will take the party down if she continues much past March.

oh and I guess I should reference the story. Nice way to congratulate McCain. He deserves ... being that it was such a hard fought race.

I do not understand why Hillary should give in when Obama hasn't won the delegates he needs yet. It is a close and very interesting race and I think they should go to the wire and not have the pundits tell Hillary to give up. After all, this is "suppose" to be a democracy.

So... Sinoe Man... Do you have a clue who McCain is & what he supports? Uh... don't be an ostrich. Pull your head out of the sand. Just because he served in the military & was a POW, doesn't mean he has the countrys best interest in mind. Use your head.

John McCain is going to pick this party apart.

Did you watch all his digs about a divided democratic party, disrespecting each other and running a negative campaign?

That didn't happen until Hillary saw se wasn't winning by being a decent opponent. She just had to go negative against her own party member, forcing Obama to defend himself.

Thank God he didn't in turn pull out all her scandals and sordid mess. If he loses at least he can hold his head up. But...he won't lose because he still will have the most delegates!

thats right screen it\

Val, it's funny that you say that Hillary supporters scream with caps, when so far in this post, only 1 Obama supporter has screamed with caps. Hillary supporters are too busy watching the pro Hillary trend happening with the Texas primaries. 40 minutes ago Obama was ahead 80k votes. now he's barely holding onto 29k. If this trend continues, Hillary will win Texas.

josh, i think you seem to forget the fact that hillary is scrambling for victories now because she thought she was the guaranteed nominee before the race even began. yet, the hypocrisy fits a clinton supporter.

He is so arrogant.

that is a bit premature Mr Obama.
Hillary '08 !!!!!!!

It is over for OBAMA and his supporters!!!!11

Haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary or McCain will expose your dirty tricks more and more in the future!

Wake up--

Anyone but OBAMA can be president!

Hillary supporters–Why do you think Rush Limbaigh wanted Republicans to vote for Hillary? Because she is beatable. Also I fear she will win because she is willing to do anything and go so negative and Obama is too good to stoop that low.

Hillary will never be elected president. If she somehow manages to get the nomination, enjoy watching her crash and burn in the fall.

Go Senator Obama go! Obama vs. McCain will be a great presidential race. I believe Obama has a great chance of winning since he appeals to many Americans.

Obama is always a gentleman.
Hillary on the other hand, never gives thanks to her supporters for their hard work in allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll those states that she has lost. Hmmm?

hmm Obama IF you get the dem nod I hope you don't think it will be easy to beat McCain. Giving him congrats is one thing, but don't expect him to go easy on you even if you pull out his chair in a debate.

Barack Obama is looking more & more like a true gentleman.

Nonetheless, I a veteran want in the White House one who has worn Uncle Sam's uniform. This nation will be better served with John McCain as President than Barack Obama.

Barack, we love that you are proper decorum and running a clean campaign. Don't let Hillary & co. get you down. You are the best!!!

Boo Hoo Jen, we'll try to survive without your vote. lol.

Sounds pretty arrogant to me!

Yes, Jen. Be a bitter person, that's very adult of you...

Who-llary?

Getting a little ahead of himself isn't he? This guy better wake up and realize he has to win the nomination first. And wait till the Republicans start tearing him apart on his lack of knowledge on foreign affairs, and everything else. He thinks Hillary has gotten a little negative? He ain't seen nothin yet!!!!!!!

Such negativity from Clinton and her followers...it's disgusting!!
Obama '08!!

(It's amazing how Hillary's folks have a tendency to scream with the caps on – we can read and not "delusional", no need for the caps)

A little presumptuous if you ask me... It isn't over for Clinton!

Hillary can't win if Dem's follow with supporting the delgate with most delegate count!!!

Do your Math people.

Thanks Obama...you are a real piece of work. Laugh it up now because I am a life-long Democrat and I will be either voting for McCain this fall OR writing in Hillary Clinton on my precious Los Angeles ballot and sorry to tell you this but I think a lot of us will be.

I don't know anything weirder than Obama calling to congratulate McCain?! Obama just needs to get off his high horse acting like he's gonna be the Dem. nominee!

HILLS '08!

A little premature!!!!

Running against him in the fall indeed. Let's LOCK UP this nomination soon!

GO OBAMA!

Go Obama!!!! Very Presidential!!

Mccain be afriad of Obama in Nov.

I support Hillary, but I am happy that Obama called. I think he is a bit cocky with the "look forward to running against you" comment. He has not won yet

Hillary 08

Obama:

--I do not need your congratulations! You should clean up your house first -

--From McCain!

In your dreams Obama.

HILLARY 08

I hope Obama is talking about a foot race in the park. Hillary will win.
