CNN

to Lynda – Just WHO has played dirtier? Who is able to cast blame upon the other? Obama is NOT God!

Finally. The call was made that Hillary has won Ohio. Why did it take this long? Looks suspicious for CNN, even with John King's etch-a-sketch explanations of demographics, etc. The margin of her lead was considerable as reported for a lengthy time. Even with outstanding votes considered, a lead of this magnitude has held as results come in.
So, was CNN dragging this out to make a better story? It's a little obvious, even though Ohio was just called for Hillary.

Soooooooo maybe we have to wait a little longer for Hillary to be booted out of the race...... after she throws the rest of sinks and lumber and what ever else her campaign can dig up to throw. But...eventually, Sen Obama will still be our nominee. No one said CHANGE would be easy.

Many people in Ohio, myself included, asked for paper ballots because of irregularities with the machines in the past. We wanted to male sure our vote gor Hillaru Clinton counts.!!! YOU GO GIRL ! ! !

Hey Howard Dean! When will All of the states get their votes counted. Obama people will be disgusted with Super Delegates if. Well it wouldn't matter if Florida and Michigan were counted. I'm will be equally as disgusted.

Go Ohio Go!

and those who say bill was so bad i think i remember the country doing quite well when he was pres even though he did somthing wroung and why should that effect Hillary it wasnt her all it shows is how forgiving she was and how much she loved her husband

Hillary 08 the better choice

Hiliary, It is time to produce those tax returns.

So far as the candidates go, this is about the line I am seeing all mud slinging aside.

The "phenomina" that is Obama is based on the younger generations urge to avoid if not remove old politics. By old politics I am referring to people so removed and so envelope inside the governmental system they make statements like "I wasn't aware that gas prices are expected to go up to near four dollars." Any common man or women could have told you that as is.

On the other side Hillary during her campaign has had more personality switches than a Schitzophrenic Patient. That is her biggest loss in this. Had she kept a finite and defined message this race would be no contest. Frankly Memos, mud slinging, insults, and etc. will have no baring on the end, in fact the race is pretty much over.

What you Democrats have to decide is based on what you have seen, who will better represent your party. Ignore the clout for a second, view their plans for this nation, then decide. Until then, beyond the above is band wagon bantering.

I CAN NOT VOTE in the General Election for Hillary.. She has played a very dirty game. She is a true disgrace to all Democrats. She truly believes that she can do ANYTHING to win!!! Is that what we want as President of the US?? That's what we have NOW in the White House. I thought the Democrats wanted something better than George Bush?? Someone with honor, someone that believed the country could do better, someone that wanted to restore the image of America. Hillary CAN NOT do that!!! I can't vote for McCain.. he too is the same old stuff as Bush. SO... I just can't vote!!! I think a lot of people feel exactly as I do. Without Obama, we HAVE NO VOTE!!!

I'd say that we're pretty much in trouble either way we all know Clinton's faults and let's be honest Obama is not the be all end all. Hell the man himself admitted the novelty has to wear off at some point.

When or if Obama is elected I worry about all the young people who voted for him because of all the promises he has made.

Hillary's campaigning in the last two weeks has been full of gross distortions, innuendo, and attack. It rivals what George W. Bush and Karl Rove did to John McCain in South Carolina in 2000. I hope the voters in Ohio and Texas reject her reprehensible tactics. She is a woman with one particular point of excellence - tearing down her enemies with baseless attacks. It's no coincidence that SNL weighed in on her behalf - SNL is directed by Tina Fey, the force behind "Mean Girls."

Cackle-Cackle

I am not old, nor am I uninformed. What seems uninformed is this blind loyalty people are showing for a fluffy speaker with no substance. It's easy to take a stance against something, but harder to come up with a plan to do something about it. Just look at how many people sit in the lunchroom and complain about the boss, but couldn't possibly do it any better. Those people have no solutions and to me, that's part of the problem.
Come on democrats! Why are so many Obama supporters, so disrespectful of Hillary! Take time to read her resume. Count how many times she has taken a stance not just against a problem, but for a solution. No body has all the right solutions. It's hard to come up to the plate night in and night out and bat over .350. If you don't step up to the plate, you'll never strike out, but you'll still have a .000 average at the end of the season. To me, that's the only thing I've seen so far from Obama. He sits in the dugout and points out when others strike out. We all know lot's of people just like that. Ask yourself, do you want one of those people to be the leader of your party...much less, leader of the Free World.
Let's hope Hillary hangs in, and Florida and Michigan get their rights recognized. I like Obama, and I think he has potentiaI, I'm just afraid of having another 4 years of a learning curve.

.
WOW!!
Hillary win OH, RI !!!!

GO Hillary !!

Well here is the bottom line. If Hillary does win the nomination, she will never beat Mcain. If she wins the nomination, many Democrats, like myself will probably give their vote to Mcain. This will be especially true if it gets down to the superdelegates, and she wins it. That is not talk...it is fact.

Go Obama another win in Vermont and Texas, well done.

All the way to the white house President Obama, change the world so urgently needs.

Obama isn't doing so well tonight because of HIM, not because of Hillary, the media, or McCain. It's reasonable that the media, and his opponents, are beginning to take a closer look at him; after all, he is "interviewing" for the most important job in America. It's not the media's or Hillary's fault Obama got involved with Rezko, and it's not their fault that his guy spoke to Canadian officials. Perhaps Obama supporters don't care about any of these issues; however, the rest of America has a right know. I have some news that might surprise everyone: Obama is a typical politician – no different than Hillary or McCain (they each say whatever they have to say to get elected)! The audacity of truth!

Hilary – You Go Girl ! Bring this momentum to your particiaption in the National Election!

Franky.....well put. Hillary's determination in the face of all the pundits and traitors in the Democratic party (whom she and Bill helped so much during the past 16 years) is just amazing. She is just absolutely my hero. KEEP FIGHTING, HILLARY! YOU ROCK!!!

To A -
Slowness in Ohio reporting could be *ahem* because they just switched to paper ballots for the first time in a while? I betcha some precincts weren't counting as the votes came in, but will count now that polls have closed. It takes time, especially in densely populated areas for them to finish. Notice how the precincts who ARE reporting are actually in suburban/rural areas?
Peace
-S

Franky: Can you be an optimist and a slimey campaigner at the same time?? I don't think trying to change rules, mocking people and complaining about how she might be treated by the press will produce either trust or respect arond the world...

WOW!!!! Its funny reading the post.... its seems that the Clinton supporters are very negative and their focus is on every thing except the issues. Where could they have picked up that type of behavior? Ummm..... Thanks for your comments changing times, Jose in FL, independent Tom, Joe Sigur, Sarah Smith and the rest of you!
United we Stand, Divided we Fall as a party!
Hopefully she will get it before its too late!!!!!!!!

Ohio's got some "vote counting" issues from what I've read

Go Hillary!!! You got this BABY!!!

Hillary 08' 12'

The Clinton Machine strikes again!

We need a grown up with experience in the Whitehouse.
Go Hillary!

I am a Clinton supporter. She needs to finish strong, but, sadly, she does need to finish. I love the Clintons, but I also love the Democratic Principals, and those are what I prize more than my individual preferences. Let's move forward, and as a democratic party- take the Presidency!

Obama/Clinton 08! (It's still history)

looks like early voting is helping Obama in Texas nullifying Hillary's strong finish

Hold on Hillary, hold on! Strong leader we need right now.

Will somebody please tell Wolf that the word is "projection" not "prejection" , PLEASE.

Dear A–

(Im thinking of what that A stands for...)

We have had ice storms all day long in Ohio. If you read the news, you'd see that is the reason why the results are delayed.

It's all a grand conspiracy– yeah, the weather. Duh.

Cheryl, you can say what you like about Florida, but Michigan, my home, my blood, voted within 5 pts. for "Non-Commited". With campaigning Obama would have won here. But he did the right thing in pulling his name from the ballot here, as did Edwards. Mrs. Clinton (stop with the miss stuff, folks, she's married) saw fit to take any win she could by going against the DNC's wishes. This speaks volumes.

The biggest difference, folks: Obama listens to other people. They're all lying, powermongering idiots, but at least someone is now listening.

She's the ONLY woman Franky, but the wrong candidate...

if obama is nominated this party will get what they deserve.
mccain and gop will eat obama alive.

Obama will win TX, and would have won OH if Clintonites had not stolen Senior Citizens information and mailed in early vote ballots.
I noticed that Bill indicated that late voters broke for Clinton, is this an attempt to try to call TX for her also? She should be ashamed, but Shrill has no shame. Even some of her aides in TX is complaining how unorganized her campaign is.

Stick a fork in her, she's done!

Obama will win this nomination and will win to be president for he has never run anything negative.

what i believed it would happen is happening now , FANTASTIC ! She waited for the last days and then hit Obama back with her strong advantage off experience ang strong fundated points on NAFTA,healthcare,workingprogram and so on .......... i'm so happy and hope with all my hart she wins the 4 States ! go Hillary, go....... SUCCES

I'm 15 years old and i live in the State of Illinois. In 2002 Obama ran his Senate Campaign "Change for Illinois". The only change he has brought to Illinois is for the City of Chicago. He has visited Southern Illinois once in four years and fails to see the economic troubles in Southern Illinois. This is a shame that he can't even bring change for the state of Illinois. So how can you people possibly expect him to bring change to the entire country.

If I could vote, my vote would be for Hillary. She keeps things realistic and actually knows what she is talking about.

OBAMA '08

Listen to John King, people! He's got the answers!

Obama '08

OK–
lets look at the names and what they are saying. Women are going to put Hillary in the forefront. Even in these blogs... women are NASTY (mood swinging just like Hillary Nasty about Barack). Reverse sexism is just as bad as sexism.
A polarizing lighning rod like Clinton and her desire to stay in (although she will never catch up to the delegates Obama has) is the ultimate height of ego. I loved Bill Clinton– I like Hillary I hate the divisive techniques she has used to make sure her ego is more important than the democratic party-
I may never vote for her if she does manage to wring her way to the nomination.

GO HILLARY!!!!!

I'm in awe of Mrs. Clinton's optimism and never give up attitude. If she were to bring this to the Presidency, we should all feel confident that the right woman made it into the Oval Office.

Hillary '08!!!

Excuse me,can someone tell me why Ohio's results are so slow in coming and why no one is questioning this? Could it be that the governor is holding back results in an attempt to influence Texas which is still voting? We all know that there have been irregularities in Ohio in the past. The governor has a lot at stake here. Why oh why isn't someone questioning this. There is no reason for the slowness of result reporting other than some strategic purpose.

Barack Obama. He is such a welcome change, and has an air of competence about him. He will end payback nominations and other accepted political practices that do not benefit us, the people they are supposed to represent. He will, as I am sure you are aware, be under the most intense scrutiny ever faced by a candidate before he takes the oath of office as President. We don't need a dual presidency, yet Bill appears to have "implied in campaigning for Hillary and using the pronoun "we" intentionally that it's "them" you would get. No more Corporate Clintons, no more disastrous plans like NAFTA to help big business reap more profits. How would Hillary get anyone to agree with her on her mandatory health care plan, or any other hidden agenda she is entertaining. Do you think I don't trust her? You bet I don't. America is broken, and the Clintons helped get us there with NAFTA, free trade , China, outsourcing. How often do you see "made in USA" on anything you purchase. We are the losers in this trade deal. We borrow money from China to fight in Iraq. How long before China uses some of their military might against us or other nations. Right now we are helpless to defend ourselves or any other country in need. The Clintons had a chance to stop Osama bin Laden, but were too busy with their hidden agendas actively and persistently pursue osama bin Laden. This "war on terrorism" may have been conceived of by Bush, but Bush wouldn't have had an excuse if the attacks on 9/11 had been averted. The plan for the attacks had already begun to take shape during the Clinton years. Unfortunately, the warning signs were ignored, and the invasion of Iraq has become a horrific shame to this country. The cost in lives will never be fully verified, and the horrors of this war will continue to haunt us for years to come. We have saddled our grandchildren with a never-ending debt. Hillary voted for this war, possibly because she did not want to risk being regarded as weak, and that concept would not be good for her goal of becoming POTUS. Barack Obama cautioned against this war, said it was a bad idea. Barack Obama is highly intelligent, has integrity and the ability to listen to others and solve their problems. Hillary hides behind a mask, and she has one goal she is determined to attain at any cost. She trades on the Clinton name but won't accept any of the Clinton blame. She has a powerful political machine behind her. I hope Hillary's supporters pay more attention to her "experience", and reconsider. This is not the right woman to elect as First Woman President. This "First Lady" had her chance, and blew it. Vote for Barack Obama, let's bring back the pride we once could boast about...simply put, I am an American! YES WE CAN.

I guess the judge just ruled. Obama's votes are now going up. I guess Jim
Bob had to get those "lost ballot boxes" out of the snow bank.

Folks, it's all about the math. There is no way Hillary can catch up, even if she wins both Texas and Ohio. Do the math, please. It's time for her to gracefully bow out, for the good of the party and of the country.

with hillary in the white house, the dem party will be split, as i see from everybody's remark.

OBAMA 08
but i can do with clinton.

She should have cried again for more votes...

Obama isn't that bad in actuality. He just isn't even up to par with Hillary is all. We don't have to destroy either democratic candidate to have a view on who we would rather have in office.
HIllary puts her facts on the line and Knows what she is talking about. Hillary really has done her homework to make sure that Universal Health Insurance will cover as many people as possible and she backs up what she says in detail.
She is not playing it by shooting from the hip as Obama is. Perhaps he is a real intuitive and can do it that way but it doesn't communicate what he needs to communicate to a person like me.
I'm a realist about politics nowadays. I love poets and philosophers and people who can talk well. Obama is such a person. He might be able to pull off a good presidency but I would rather vote for someone who I believe will be a great president like HIllary. We don't need to put the other person down to the degree where we cast them out of the ring. We need to unify and get a democrat in the white house this coming November. That is the main theme we have to remember. WE NEED EITHER CLINTON OR OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND NOT MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do we want years and years of war for who knows what reason? Do we need the rich being represented forever???????!

OBAMA IS NOT JESUS.

I cannot believe how stupid and blind Hillary supporters are. How can they vote for her when she blatantly lies to the public, does not disclose information other candidates have already disclosed, and appears to be bipolar? She is so fake it makes me feel disgusted.

Hillary has served us well. But now it is now time for her and the other Baby Boomers to make way for someone who thinks with a fresh, 21st century outlook.

backing hillary all the way... i know that a lot of hispanics r behind her & i sure hope that she will win, cuz i sure am not voting republican come nov. would prefer not 2 vote @ all. go hillary.........

Don't worry Obama supporters, if Hillary wins this party will get what it deserves. A royal butt whipping from the Republican Party-she's so tough let her deal with it and all the old, uneducated followers who don't want to see change because their scared of it.

Be proud of Obama because he could have brought up all of Hillary's baggage and smear her like she's done him, but he chose not too and stuck with the issues at hand. He's a honorable man and I'm proud of him.

Is it possible to vote Democratic in the Primary if you are a registered republican? I tried to vote for Obama at my precinct in California, and was told I could not, as I am a registered Republican.

I'm concerned that "politics as usual" i.e. running a negative campaign may actually be working. It sickens me. I am an independent who desperately wants there to be a new approach. Hillary will never receive my vote, yet I would vote for Obama IF he continues to take the high road and focus on the issues rather than tearing down the opponent as Hillary is finding may work.

BTW, just how much "experience" did Bill have when he was elected president? A governor of a very small state... oh, much experience with scandals and the other kind too... hmmm. suddently, her "lack of experience" pitch loses steam...

This has turned ugly and other writers are correct, it foreshadows a loss for the dems in Nov. Thanks to Hillary.

Clinton gets nominated and many dems become no-shows or McCain voters

Vermont to Obama
Texas to Obama

13 in row to Clintons 1

If ii was anyone else she would not even be reported

Bye Bye Hillary Huckabee

John Stevens:

Your comment just gave me an idea. How about a take-off on "Wizard of Oz" where Obama, Hillary, and McCain are the 3 characters, each in need of something (a heart, etc.).

Obama could be the character in need of specifics & substance.

GO HILLARY GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN ARE WITH YOU!

THE DELEGATES ARE COMING!!!!!

If she wins this by scare tactics and lies then the people get exactly what they deserve. Did any of you look at the numbers coming in before you took the time to make a comment?

Obama 08

Calling people in your own party fools and screaming will not help us in the future. I will vote McCain over Clinton for sure.

Yes, the Clintons are expert at lying, that we know!!!

obama is lame.

make me gag!

Latinos! sign on for a losing proposition!

fine .. buck it out another several months.

keep eveyone's mind off the real problem

US voted for Bill cuz they wanted something DIFFERENT..

we don't WANT BILL or HER again..

been there.. it didn't work

it aint gonna work this time

we're running out of time and

SHE is NOT THE ANSWER!

SHE is NOT THE ONE!

When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where To Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.

HILLARY 08!!!

NOBAMA 08!!!

Welcome your new president, Miss Clinton.

GO HILLARY GO!!

DON"T BE SCARED OBAMA FOOLS>>WE ARE ONLY GETTING STARTED..

HILLARY 08

And Obama bashing Clinton to authorize the use of force for the President isn't? I do believe that at the time about 90% of Americans believed that we must not tie the President's hands.

Who knew the enormity of fraud that would be perpetrated by this Administration! Personally, I find Obama's bashing and fabricated spin on Hillary's vote offensive.

I would love to hear about CSPAN's report. When he loses, his people attack. He is not a good loser..

Jose, don't count our girl out. She is still very much in there. Oh, like we believe your name is Jose! Hillary for President.

oh, how the tide turns.

derry we had 8 years of the Clintons misleading us and revealing bad character. And I voted twice for them but never again.

This is the most exiting campaign I have ever seen. The candidates are representing more individuals than we have had. We need some who has the ability to get everyone involved. When people feel involved, the interest in more personal.

I am proud to be alive to see this.

Jose form florida you are full of it I would say Obama is splitting the party very badly

OBAMA LIED AND GOT CAUGHT!

THAT COUNTS BIG TIME! AND IT WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE COME NOVEMBER IF HE MAKES THE NOMINATION!

THE REPUBLICANS WILL RUIN HIM!

CONGRATS SENATOR CLINTON ON YOUR WINS!

WE ARE BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!

Oh please...CNN, again you are the Clinton News Network. I should haven't expected much. Hillary is a LOSER no matter what happens tonight.

Clinton will not only win the nomination but also the presidency of the United States of America. It's a done deal, my friends.

Here is your story. Listening to Ohio talk radio station several callers called in saying they are republicans that changed their party to Dem. at the voting polls just to vote for Clinton to make the Dem keep battling it out. Look into how many voter parties were changed on Election Day. This is conservative talk radio has been wanting their sheep to do and it looks like they have succeeded in Ohio.

I agree with Jose in Florida.

Could someone explain to me how CNN can show nearly 1 million votes in Texas with only 1% reporting?
I didn't realize there were 100 million primary voters in Texas

CHEATERS IN OHIO: I've just learned on CSPAN that The obama campaign has just filed a federal
lawsuit in Ohio and are now waiting on the judges ruling because Ohio
is helping Hillary CHEAT . They are having trouble transporting ballots? CNN PLEASE REPORT ON THIS. Stay Tuned.

Jose from Florida

You're got guts – wish your candidate did.

And it will be the last minute deciders who will determine the winner of the general election as well, which is why Hillary has a better chance of beating McCain than does Obama.

CHEATERS IN OHIO: I've just learned on CSPAN that The obama campaign has just filed a federal

Perhaps, but they "finished strong" by behaving like Karl Rove.

Look out Clinton fans: I suspect Obama's going to launch a barrage of heavy-duty attacks on the Clinton house of ethical cards starting tomorrow....

Go Hillary Finally the true colors of Obama are out

Good Read....Go Hillary

I really have a problem with the secret conversation with the canadian official and not owning up to it. Barack touts transparency and it was not there. More shall be revealed about Barack's character. The fact that he tried to mislead the people was a major blunder which would have went unnoticed if the memo did not surfaced....... I hope this matters to people... distrust. right away

Just a note about Texas. Although I agree there are a lot of people in that state, when the news reports that more than 700,000 people have already had their ballots counted and yet less than 1% of the vote is counted, that works out to more than 70,000,000 voters in Texas! Unfortunately for the newscasters, that is not the case! I would estimate that we are looking at about 10%, not 1% as is currently being reported. Please do the math!

Too late.

Her husband signed NAFTA. That is on her score card. That's a lot worse than somebody talking. As she said ACTIONS count.

Fear mongering and scare tactics to stir up votes. I am saddened that Americans fall for this still as it is what Bush did and look how wonderful that turned out.

Yes we can.
Obama 08

Hillary is the comeback kid!

Go Hillary! Latest polls show that Hillary is winning Ohio by a large margin, Texas and Rhode Island. Hillary, we welcome you madam president!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
