lol its funny all these people on here who can't read, calling Obama a liar, the thing is if u smear well enuf , the fools will come sliding in....

Obama lost this primary simply because of misinformed voters who are silly enough to believe Hillary and her B.S.

Obama just let it be and move on to the other primary's...

The clintons are doing what they do best...they will and are doing anything and everything to win...Obama will have to get trashy & dirty along with those 2 snakes in order to compete. As much as he is trying to run a clean campaign that is not going work. I am a democrate and i voted for bill and always have been a clinton supporter..but after the past week of negative things they are saying and doing i wil never vote for him or her for anything...i will vote for mccain before hillary...

anyone who attacks the clinton campaign over stuff like this is absolutely ridiculous. this is not about her or him it's about people feeling that they can trust the system and be given fair treatment when it comes to voting. the obama campaign should not be making this into a fight, they should take the lead and make this an opportunity. come on give me a break. if you can't stand up for the american people then why run for president. not everyone that is complaining is voting for hillary clinton.

I am from Iowa and I saw how the Obama campaign cheated to win here. I am still upset over them bringing school buses of students in from Ill to caucus. They also told the Richardson people that they should join their caucus group because deals had been made, which was not true. They are not squeeky clean as they try to want us believe. They also came to the Edwards caucus goers and tried to take them to their group, just could not stand not to have everyone for Obama. Makes me so upset that they want it all. I am praying for Hillary to win Texas.

Desperate? Clinton finally wins after a month of getting her butt kicked across the country by going negative every chance she gets.
I wouldn't call Obama supporters morons if I was for Clinton suppoter. Nader could get a lot of votes from Obama supporters if Clinton gets the nod, which is still a long ways away. Hell, when it comes down to it, even McCain could get a lot of Obama supporters.

Obviously, the Texas primary/caucus process need to be looked at. My sister said hundreds of people showed up at her caucus and they have no ballots. I guess with all the focus on the importance of Texas everyone is learning a big civics lesson on the voting process. Want to bet the next election is handled a little differently?

The media should take responsibility for creating this environment for a negative campaign. Obama has tried to run a decent campaign however, as I watched CNN it has been clear to me that Clinton has many fans. Obama has surprised many Americans with his winnings and now of course he has to be attacked for showing that you can run a campaign without slinging MUD! I am an independent and came to the Democratic Party because Obama for me represents change. But maybe he should consider running as an Independent. It has not been just Democratic votes responsible for him winning so far. Maybe it is time to upset this two- party political machine that has been the real problem with our political process. Many Americans have clearly spoken with their feet but the media and status quo refuses to hear them. Let's take this situation we now have to another level. Change is clearly what we want. Obama please run as an Independent ! You have the support and the backing.

you people are sheep, blindly following your preferred sheppard. here is the achilles heel of the democratic party in all its glory. the fight over hillary and obama will harvest so much resentment come november that it will severely cripple the most important issue... that being to remove the gop from the white house. open your eyes people, fundamentally speaking, both hillary and obama stand for the same thing, and the winner of the primary will need the FULL support of the party in he genreal election...

Ohio, I'm so sorry for you. You insist on holding on to your blue-collar work ethic (admirable) while supporting political leaders (the Clintons)who sell you out by the pound.

Congratulations to tonight's winner of the Ohio primary – NAFTA! YES SHE WILL (reaffirm NAFTA). Poor, (or about to be be poor) Ohioans, get your ignorant butts back to school, you're going to need to retrain yet again. BEND OVER, THE CLINTONS ARE COMING AGAIN!

Geez Obama...HOW LOW ARE YOU GONNA GO???!!! Now that you are actually starting to lose you go a cry wolf to lawyers and the press! I also wonder why CNN took that article down about you calling John McCain, telling him that you look forward to running against him in the fall...COULD IT BE BECAUSE YOU ARE LOSING???

My fellow Democrats, wake up and smell the coffee! Barack supporters, please switch over to Hillary's side as it is our only chance of winning! Quit being four year olds and vote with your brain, not with who Joe or Sally is voting for.

All evilness aside, HILLARY, CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING OHIO!!! WE ALL HOPE AND PLAN ON YOU WINNING TEXAS AS WELL!!! AFTER THIS, LET'S ALL GO ON TO PENNSYLVANIA AND CONTINUE WINNING!!! AMERICA IS COMPLETELY BEHIND YOU 100%!

I am not a democrat, but I would support Obama before I would support Hillary. She does a lot of double talk – NAFTA is good, now bad, vote for Iraq, now was a mistake based on the information she had at the time. She seems to say whatever you want to hear. I don't care about experience if it's a lot of wrong decisions. Answer the phone at 3 a.m. and make the wrong decision – I hope she isn't answering it. The Canadian government also stated that they got their information from an Obama representative, not Obama himself.

I am a poor college student and have donated to her campaign once before after NH but I did so AGAIN because after Ohio's DECISIVE victory (by more than 15 points!!!!), I have COMPLETE confidence that Hillary will win this.
All you other Hillary supports, go donate NOW!!
This is Hillary momentum NOW.

Does anyone remember when the CLinton's were in the White House? Hillary is directly linked to Vince Foster (and the disappareance of his papers), Travel-Gate, among other corrupt issues invlving her husband. And she refuses to release her taxes and no one is allowed access to her schedule or phone lists!

Canada contacted Austan, not the other way around. And there were rumors of discussions by Clinton's camp with Canada re: NAFTA.

The media is getting Hillary her pillows and seeing that she is comfortable instead of asking her to explain herself. What...is everything prior to her becoming a senator off limits to the media now? She says that the media was being hard on her...I don't see how that could be if they aren't asking her about her skeletons!

Obama is too much of a gentleman to ask! He has already been a canidate of change! He has stayed on message and focused only on her record.

She has gone ugly and trashy.

But then she can't win any other way!

Nobody is desperate. The Clinton campaign have been telling their people how to pretty much cheat in caucuses. I saw the handbook because my roommate works in the campaign. There has been issues with them closing the door early, changing tally numbers, taking ballots home etc... The Obama campaign due to incidents in the past and the leak of info confirming that the Clinton campaign has been doing underhanded things, has finally stepped up.

Even in New York, my state, Mayor Bloomberg has suspected fraud!!!

I suspect many of the silly comments here are actually by Republicans trying to instill discontent. Remember, both our Democratic candidates are terrific.

Still, I hope you guys realize that this was one of the regular conference calls with the media, the kind that Clinton uses to guide/manipulate them. In my opinion, Clinton has been playing rather dirty for weeks now and nobody in the media seems willing to call her on it. Of course, this practice is very consistent with what the Clinton White House did. Trying to manipulate, stonewall, and manage the media as much as possible. If there's nobody in the media who factchecks Clinton anymore, who else remains to do the job but the Obama campaign?

A large part of the media, especially the part based in NYC, has been very pro-Hillary all along. I also remember several newscasts actually had their coverage of the recent debate edited so it would stop right after HRC's zinger, but without the ensuing booing or Barack's quick response.

The Clinton campaign's constant whining about bias simply gave that part of the media an excuse to become even more biased _against_ Obama. Plausible deniability has been par for the course throughout the Bush and Clinton eras. She is committed to the cause, but she has huge flaws that the media completely ignores.

The fact is Hillary is financed by Big Business, especially the health care industry. Barack is funded by regular people. Who's more likely to help regular people? The fact is Hillary just didn't get the monumental margins today she needed to have a realistic chance of the nomination within the proportional system. All it did is give her ample opportunity to drag it out and make it ugly.

The fact is that's exactly what the Republicans wanted. Her unreasonable attacks and extracurricular activities simply serve to hurt Democrats.

If she is the one from Dems, she'll NEVER pick up Obama's voter's and we'll be under McCain next 4 years.
But she doesn't care. Her ego is more imporatnt, as usual...
Let's pray for Obama. If Hil wins this nomination I will NOT vote for her. Period.

I would like to sound a note of warning to the DNC Chairman, STOP THE CLINTONS FROM USING THESE NEGATIVE STRATEGIES AGAINST A FELLOW DEMOCRAT!!!! These strategies will tear the party apart and turn off young voters.
The truth is that most Democrats who voted in these primaries, will vote for the Republican nominee if Hillary Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee. She will definitely not win in November. She portrays herself as someone who is so selfish and desparate. I keep wondering if she forgot something in the White House that she needs so badly. Well, I will personally note vote for, not for gender or race reason, but because she is so selfish.

Hillary is not good for America, she is to divisive and no Republican will ever support her to make any change in this country………America will suffer greatly with Hillary in office…What we need is someone that can unify the country….Go Obama or McCain

Hillary attacked Obama just two weeks ago about tactics. It is unfortunate that she has resorted to the lowest of tactics and her integrity should be questioned. Her temperament is deplorable, and she has brought ugliness into the party.

Although the republicans have been fighting for a nominee, they have remained supportive and cohesive as a party.

It is time for Barak to take the gloves off and stop showing the level of respect to Hillary that she so clearly is not reciprocating.

Stay calm, Obama folks. We'll be okay. Let the dirty ones be dirty. They threw mud and it worked. Our is the high road, the same road as Lincoln, TR, FDR, and a few others. Let the false proclaim for the false. As the Hillary supporters croak about a victory that at its best will give the Right-Wingers a big advantage, and at worst give them a victory, remember who we are. These people are either duped, which is very sad, or they are believers in division, which is even more sad. But they are not our friends, they are not progressives, and they have no interest in healing this nation. Let them alone. And let's get back to business.

I'm a die hard Dem, and inititally my vote was going to be for Hillary. Isupported Bill during his term, and truly thought she could when against McCain because know one really knew of Obama, but during the course of the primary I switched over to Obama. I can honestly say if Obama doesn't win the nomination I will vote for McCain. It has sadden me how Hillary would try and divide the Democratic party by supporting McCain. She doesn't deserve the opprotunity to becalled the leader of the country.
