CNN

It's obvious now. Hillary Clinton should withdraw from the race. A graceful exit at this point would make it possible for Senator Obama to choose her for his running mate and unite the party. It's up to Clinton now to do the right thing.

(See Glen, Cary, NC comment above)

My prediction was right from the start that President Hillary Clinton will win in Ohio, Texas & Rhode Island. We can celebrate but we need to work very very hard to win in the forthcoming primaries most importantly in Pennslyvania which I'm pretty sure she will. She is leading in that state and all we need to do is to make that margin big and nailed it. Hillary is now the presumptive democratic nominee whether Obama's supporters agree with us or not. My advise to Hillary is to keep focus on economic as well as national security issues and don't be distracted on negative issues that the other party may throw on you. Keep up the momentum and GOD be with you always.

I wont be satisfied until everyone votes and Florda and Michigan votes will count that way they are heard. Go Hillary

It seems that the American public is ready for a woman president, as it should be, but is the world? I have a HUGE concern with our national security and Hillary! Many parts of the world and many terror groups do not value and respect women like the U.S. and most of our allied countries. Wouldn't having a female president be viewed as sign of weakness by these groups and lead to more attacks on the U. S.? My fear on a global level is that the red phone in the White House is ringing BECAUSE of Hillary! Think about that when you tuck your little ones in at night!

larry, you are right. I didn't get to vote twice. Why should Texans? That hardly seems fair. Seat Michigan and Florida. I am sure that the voters didn't make the decision to move the primary. I never did think they should be stripped of their votes. Something about RIGHTS. Obama could have left his name on the Michigan ballot and he was the ONLY candidate to break the rules and run an ad in Florida. What does he have to whine about? IF he is so good and so far ahead, why should allowing a few people the right to vote that our founding fathers wanted us to have matter to him. Maybe since the votes don't count they can file a law suit not to pay their taxes and call it taxation without representation????
Makes about as much sense as denying voters their voice!

Weird how the big newsites, CNN, MSNBC, etc, are playing down Clinton's decisive wins last night. Instead of realizing that a lot of American voters don't consider Obama to be some kind of golden-boy shoe-in, and want an experienced candidate in the white house, they act as though she is some kind of spoiler or outsider who is supposed to knuckle to a man.

Thanks, media, for being so consistently misogynist in your rather biased reporting about a significant event in this primary season.

All those Voters for Hillary, ask youselves – do you believe Hillary can really speak for you after she has got into the White House? – the person who received the most funds from lobbies in the campaign who reprensents big companies? Do you think she can refuse those interest groups – big companies? If yes, why couldn't she have the health care proposals done under her hunsband terms? because of the health insurance companies blocked there. You are only Stirrups for her to get on the horse, then she will kick you away...

She worked for big Law firms while Obama was working as a community organizer.

Who will and can represent you? Think, Think, Think!!!

Go Obama!!!

I agree with sky that apparently no one seems to be addressing the fact that Obama is still very much in the lead. Hilary needed BIG wins to put the man down. However it is very interesting what a BIG deal is made over a few rather narrow victory.

It is ridiculous to say count the Florida and Michigan votes. Senator Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan and in Florida honored his pledge to the DNC not to campaign in Florida. Under these conditions it could be expected that the front runner (at that time) with far more name recognition would win the race. If Florida and Michigan want their votes to count there needs to be a new election in these states. For Hillary and her supporters to argue the current votes in these two states should count is slimy. You can be a Hillary supporter but let's be fair.

I am an Obama supporter because I think it is time to have a person with integrity, intelligence and good judgment as our President. I am encouraged by his voice and his ability to bring new people in the political process. If Hillary truly loved her country she would be trying to help Obama get elected and share whatever experience she has. At the very least, she would run a clean campaign, not one based on things she knows are not true. But she obviously comes from the school that when you are in a fight you have to play dirty and politics is dirty. In the end, if she wins the nomination, McCain should win based on experience, if that is the criteria and the only people who will be participating in the process will be the people that hate Hillary and will vote for McCain or who are willing to go along with politics as usual. That is going to leave out a lot of people.

Hillary, If you were ahead in the pledged delegate count would you be claiming the democratic presidential nomination because you took the larger states? Of course not!

The last time I looked we were still a democracy. Obama leads in the delegate count and in the popular vote!

Obama 08

i used to box, isn't it a round by round total?? Obama won 12 in a row and then clinton won 3. isn't that 12 to 3, or as the news says "count the delegates" to see who wins and ALL the superdelegates say "count the delegates". so, on to round 15--old timers had fights that lasted more than 15 rounds.

All you folks out there, do you want a woman for president? FORGET IT! PLEASE! CONSIDER OBAMA FOR 08'! Yahoo!

Congrats! Go, Hillary! You will make the history!

I DON'T KNOW, IF IT JUST ME OR IS HILLARY CLINTON LEADING IN THE "SUPER" DELEGATES. NOT DELEGATES, BUT "SUPER"DEGATES. SHE CAN WIN AND SHE MUST WIN FOR OUR COUNTRY'S SAKE.

Hillary please drop out of the race. Do it for the Democratic Party. I am a supporter of the Democratic Party, not an individual person. But it does not take a genious to figure out whats going on. Conservative Republicans WILL vote for Hillary, because then she is the easiest of the two to lose against John McCain. Hillary please...please do the right thing for your party!

Ted and Kerry ,are you happy for Hillary?
HILLARY 08-12

Obama is starting the "where are your income taxes? Funny when someone questions him about something he calls it negative politics. Why can't he just debate Hillary on the issues and WHY does he think he is too good for the press to ask him questions? Who is whining now????? Looks like Obama. Go Hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILL Yeah

Hillaryt 08

BUSH'S BACKING DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. IT IS NOT GOING TO HELP MCCAIN. BUSH'S APPROVAL RATING IS SO LOW, IT CAN'T GO ANY LOWER. IF I WERE MCCAIN INSTEAD OF LETTING HIM ENDORSE ME, I'D RUN FROM HIM. I THINK GWBUSH HAS DONE SOME GOOD THINGS FOR THE U.S. BUT HE HAS MADE MANY, MANY BAD DECISIONS. HE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT OUR TROOPS HOME A LONG TIME AGO. AND WHERE IS BIN LADEN? THE ONE HE VOWED HE'D GET.

GO HILLARY!!!

They told her to step down, they said she couldn't bounce back, Did she give up, NO! She's a fighter and she will fight for this country.

Obama let Michigan down from the get go when he critized the auto industry in Detroit speaking to the Detroit Economic club! That's some audacity!. Then he VOLUNTARILY took his name off the ballot here, probably thinking it didn't matter anyway so let's please the DNC. Obama, I would like to know what is more important the DNC or THE PEOPLE of Michigan!

Hillary has proven that she is for the people no matter what and she has my vote in the general election.

Hillary the Hill Billy is really in for it. Obama is great! Obama is my Idol! HE DESERVES TO WIN! big Fat Hill Billy is devil.

Congradulations Hillary.... but Obama will get the nomination and will be our next president. Obama still has a lead in delegates, popular vote and states won...

Go Obama !!!

im glad to see this campaign continue........ its democracy at its best..........not to worry democrats we will win the white house no matter who runs........people turning out to vote for the democratic party exceeds the amount of people turning out for the republicans..........all this bs about splitting the democratic party is hog wash........by the way as far as delegates are concerned, yes they do count, but the candidate that can win and carry the larger states that matter in the general election with the super delegates will get the nomination...just remember in the general election its not the popular vote its the electorial vote..... another thing obama will be able to choose a running mate for vp......... where as if hilary gets it i think the dnc will make hilary put obama on her ticket ...........not quite fair but thats life...............to all democratic voters no matter who wins vote........we are making history right now we have a woman and an african american man running for president and i really dont think the republican party will ever have nominations like this..........we are so lucky to have 2 great candidates running.......... i would prefer a woman first though.........peace

A few points for Hillary supporters to consider:

1) Not releasing your tax returns is EXTREMELY SHADY.

2) She held NO SECURITY CLEARANCE during her years as First Lady, and has held ELECTED OFFICE for fewer years than Obama.

3) She voted to INVADE another nation, unprompted. I'm going to say that one again: She voted to INVADE ANOTHER NATION, unprompted. I don't care if your a Hillary supporter, there's NO EXCUSE for that. It's simply unacceptable.

4) Her only attempt at National Healthcare (Hillarycare) in the early nineties, was abysmal. It didn't even make it to the Senate floor.

5) "Visiting Countries" does NOT COUNT as foreign policy experience.

I'm not saying Obama is more experienced, and I'm not going to say there isn't spin going on on his end either, but it's hardly the web of lies Hillary's is. Any objective person with half a brain should be able to see that.

Negative press vs. Obama doesn't like the voters to know the TRUTH about him. Hillary Clinton have anything to do with Obama LYING about a staff meeting with the Canadians. He LIES all on his own and has during the entire campaign. Poor him-this time he got caught.
Wake up America. This is an example ofhis "new" ideas, down with politics as usual and his change movement. He is a liar.

Take a hard look if he does this on the campaign when he is under so much scrutiny. What will he do and say under the cover of Commander in Chief?

He LIED to American voters.

PS He didn't have a vote on the war, no matter what most people believe. Compare it to being a parent. Easy to say what you would do before having childen and different when faced with the facts.

Congratulations Hillary! You won the battles in Texas and Ohio, however I am not sure you won the war. This is going all the way to the convention where the Clintons will probably steal this elections with back door meeting with the delegates. This inevitably will fracture the Democratic Party. You know something I think most American would agree by then that we can live with John McCain for 4 years and then we will do it again.

Wow, I love how Hillary downplays 12 straight losses and now with three wins she thinks she is on top of the world. What I love even more is that if you do the numbers with what is out, she only came out with 6 more delegates than Obama. SIX... Ha... And that is even before the Caucus returns. So, technically, if Obama wins the Caucus, then he could have actually won MORE delegates than Clinton. In the states he won, he won by a HUGE margin giving him delegates, but in most states Clinton has barely edged him out for popular vote. So even with 3 losses, he wins more elected delegates... Forget about the big states and look at the big picture. You think a vote in a small state is worth less than a big state... Apparently Hillary does, so I am sorry to all the small states out there, apparently, you are worth less than someone in Texas or California. I would say Hillary needs to stop dividing the party. Obama has the same lead as he did yesterday morning, and mathematically, Hillary would have to win 75 percent of every state to even come even with him on delegates. If there is a joint ticket, it needs to be Obama/Clinton. As much as I even want to think about that, while Hillary has "experience" or better yet "standing at the side of her husband", she lacks everything else to be a good leader and I think I am not alone in sounding a call for her to step down and either accept a VP or nothing slot in this election.

WE LOVE HILLARY. GO HILLARY, GO!
HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN 2008!

Obama leading the delegates is a hollow one when one consider that two states where Hillary won were not given any representation. Is that democracy?

John McCain does NOT have a change against Hillary. Do the math. Both democrats have been getting three times MORE votes than the republican party candidates. They should be ashamed of their small numbers. Hillary's number of votes are 3 x's John McCains. John McCain's speaches are the small tune as GWBush. Nobody is going to elect McCain. Ppl R just trying to scare the democrats into thinking only Obama has a change to win with John McCain. John McCain will tear Obama's campaign with all his baggage apart. HILLARY IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT ONLY HAS THE CHANCE BUT "WILL WIN" OVER JOHN MCCAIN. Hillary will win once nominated.

Not big enough!

I know if Hilary wins the nominee, CNN will support Macain!!!

Since the political machinery is finally working for Hillary, let’s not forget to set the wheels in motion for Chelsea’s presidency. This way the Clintons can move in the White House for 16 more years, not just 8.

One more thing, in response to her 3 a.m. emergency commercial, if such a case were to happen, i wouldn't want someone whose supposedly Commander and Cheif, to resort to asking their spouse " what should we do?" On this case, i'm with Michelle Obama when she said "how could you run the White House, if you can't run your OWN house!' I'M ENCOURAGING PEOPLE NOT TO BE DECIEVED, WE AS AMERICANS CAN'T SUFFER ANYMORE!

A person's tax returns should be private. Who is the Obama campaign to think they have the right to ask to see Hillary's returns. The IRS is the only Governmental agency any of us should have to disclose our income tax papers too. Obama is fishing for something, anything he can try to use against her. What about his fishy dealings like that million dollar house he got for $300,000.00 and what about Louis Farrakin supporting Obama. What did Obama do wrong? His past came out. That is what happens when you are a Presidental candidate. If Obama didn't think his middle name was not going to come out or if he didn't think his relationships were not going to come out, that just proves his is very inexperienced in what really happens in politics. Hillary has not been playing dirty. Finally the media is doing their job and letting the American ppl know what kind of person Obama is before he is elected then ppl find out then they made a big mistake.

You gotta love the media, Hillary supporters and the like. Momentum, what the hell does that mean or matter when it comes to delegates. I guess the "Make less than $50k a yr, no college degree" crowd of Hillary supporters are showing there lack of intelligence again. Seems to be a repeat of Florida elections 2000.

Momentum means nothing, delegates mean everything and right now Senator Clinton you don't have enough and if you were to win every election until the end you still wouldn't catch Obama!

I heard the morons i.e. Gloria Borger and Jeff Toobin say "you can't win for losing". Guess what dummies, YOU CAN!!!. Tell that phrase to Al Gore, he had more votes than Bush but Bush had the delegates so save the "you can't win for losing" BS out of this. Why is it that every 4 yrs the electoral college and process has to be explained to people?

GO SENATOR CLINTON, WE HISPANICS WILL SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY EVEN WHEN YOU SO CALLED FRIENDS DID NOT.

Big win, or win?

HILLARY DIDNOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE NEXT ROOM WITH BILL HOW THE HELL CAN SHE RUN THE COUNTRY?

Ummmmmm. CNN's estimated delegates for the Texas primary do not seem to take into account the complex delegate allotment that so many articles referenced in the days leading up to that vote. She got 51% of the popular vote and for some reason CNN has equated that to 51% of their 126 primary delegates (65). But if Obama got the vast majority of votes in these so-called heavily weighted metropolitan areas (Dallas-Houston-Austin), why isn't that evident in the delegates? Why doesn't he have more than 48% (61) of the delegates? Does this mean the journalists didn't know what the heck they were talking about in all of those Texas-is-complicated articles? Or instead of getting the real delegate count, did CNN just do the simple (wrong) math and throw it up just to have something documented? Why are there so many "Hillary won Texas" headlines when the caucus hasn't been settled and the verdict is still out? In Texas, the popular vote and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. Who cares about that! Who won the delegates?? Barack!

I am absolutely disgusted with Hillary Clinton. She did not win Ohio and Texas the republican gave it to her thanks to Rush Limbaugh and his crew of listeners. Obama still won more delegates last night than Hillary!!

The truth will prevail and I truly believe Obama will win the Democratic nomination once Hillary's camp realizes that she is still losing when it comes delegates and most states won.

Also if the super delegates go with Hillary and not with who the majority of people voted for not only will vote independent for now on (hopefully Bloomberg runs in the general election) , and i will find out who my local super delegates are and vote them out cause they must be held accountable.

Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's give credit where credit is due. Hillary did very well yesterday. Let's not ignore the fact that she lost the previous 12 states and merely blunted his momentum. Mathematically, she will have a very difficult time overtaking Obama in pledged delegates. She has to options...winning with Superdelegates or litigating Michigan and Florida. I would put either past her.

As a democrat, I'll gladly vote for McCain if she gets the nomination. She will never beat McCain nationally. Every poll shows this.

It's hard for me to understand how could Sen. Hillary Clinton can talk much about having experience in a field she has yet to describe. It's even harder for me to understand how could people go along with the "wolf- ticket" she selling. HERE ARE THE FACTS: Neither democratic or republican HOPEFUL has had experience as Commander and Chief. Her experience speech will in fact hurt her because she will soon realize that she is no different from the other hopefuls. After all, all of the hopefuls are qualified to run for president and she needs to be precise and factual in her speeches about her experience. PEOPLE DON'T BE SO NIEVE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE FACTS, YOU WILL REALIZE THAT HILLARY HAS BEEN SELLING YOU THIS FABRICATED EXPERIENCE STORY!

How can she give a fake jubilation when she knows deep down that Obama broke into her so called firewall... Seriously, Hillary, I taught you were going to carry Texax by 80% when you proudly and rudely told Obama to meet you at Texas..

In Obama camp, there is is no firewall way... Its just a matter of time and all fire walls will be melted..

I am truly proud of Obama, we need a President that won the nomination in true dignity and self respect....

America needs a uniter and a global figure and Obama is the ONe.

What is soo sexy than an American President that is half black/white, full Christian and have muslim ancestors... He embodies the race and religion that are at the extreme.The best that the country can offer and a true American story... He is the one that can unite all.. race, reglion, culture and the list goes on

Vote for Obama is a vote for prosperity,peace and Love in America and the world.

God Bless.. Obama
Obama 08

My, my, my. When Obama was lording it all over the place that he won 11 states in a row, and Hillary supporters stated they would defect to McCain if he was awarded the nomination, we were called traitors, and hags, and uneducated, and illiterate, and selfish, and you name it, we were called it. Now look at the Obamabutts posting here. If Hillary wins the primary, you will all defect to McCain. Where is the spirit of unity you were trying to shove down our throats? Where is the Party Loyalty first? So I will throw your words back at you. Unite behind HILLARY in the interest of party unity!!! Go Hillary!

On the contrary, I have heard just the opposite. If Hillary Clinton is the nominee, several democrats are going to vote for John McCain. I will most likely join them.

win at all costs – that is her motto, which would include dirty politics, lying, spending your hard earned dollars on flowers food and extremely expensive hotel bills. This is who you want in the white house? I would think not.

Way to OBAMA..... Just a stumbling block .... We shall overcome in wake of the changes coming.... Keep your head up.... LETS GO!!!!

Yes, Hillary wins Ohio and Texas, but by ploting – lying about her experiences, about obama's NAFTA' policy ... now she finally found her campaign strategy – by tearing and disparage the oppoent down.

All voters for Hillary in Texas and Ohio, if you think she is experienced and ready for the White House, why not check what she has realy done, espcially for her claims when she was the first lady – accompaning the president to some countries??? I have been traveling a lot of countries accompaning my husband during his business trips, but I don't have the right to attend any of his business meetings, negociations, I just simply tour the cities, watch VT, or shopping, occasionally may have attend a banquet.

That's my gal!!!!

... and ps people. SHE DOES HAVE ALL THAT EXPERIENCE. 6 million kids have healthcare because of something she pushed when she was, yup, FIRST LADY. Gulf War syndrome vets have better care and got recognized. 9/11 survivors and our brave rescue workers as well. Don't feed me one-liners about her not having "all that" experience. She's got it! And a lot of people are better off because of her.

Congratulations Senator Clinton - well done!

Obama supporters should keep in mind that Senator Clinton has won in all the big (major) states that drive the economy of our country. We believe in change but certainly experience is a MUST for the White House.

Rookie Obama looked pretty upset last night – HA HA HA!

L A T I N O S for Hillary Clinton – Don’t underestimate the power of Latinos.

I disagree with Janet. If either candidate gets the popular vote and the superdelegates give their support to the one without the popular vote (at this stage that means Obama gets the nomination and Clinton does not), I have talked to a lot of people who not only won't vote for Clinton, they will leave the Democrate party. If my party ignores my wishes why stay there? I'm will be going Independent and yes, McCain will win...and I'll campaign for him!

She is down by 11 states and like 100 delegates haha. Just give it up!

More and more people are realizing they are voting for the country's future, not hypes. They asked themselves: what do I get if I vote for Obama? What do I get if I vote for Hillary? Yesterday, voters said loud and clear: Hillary is what this country needs.

They voted for experience and against speculations.
They voted for solutions and against empty words.
They voted for facts and against hypes.
They voted for integrity and against hypocrisy.

Go Hillary!

"Big Wins"? Whats the delegate count at right now?

Hillary I congratulate you for your wins yesterday, when you go to the primary in Puerto Rico you can count on the latino vote once again. Latinos for Hillary.

So was it not a negative ad when the Obama camp put out an almost identical ad to Clintons? If one was claimed to be negative then they both were.

Senator Obama plays just as dirty politics if not more (ie; Canada) than any other politician. I am still looking for the original thoughts.

No playing 'follow the leader'
No parroting
No teleprompters

OOOppppsss..........nothing more to say.

"Big wins" for Clinton?? She didn't really take Ohio or even the Texas primary convincingly – we're still waiting for the Texas caucus results, which Obama has the lead in. She won Rhode Island by a margin of 18 percentage points, but that's pretty much her only "big win" of last night.

...Or am I missing something?

Barrack, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !!!! Got Jack?

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!! (..don't even need sore loser bamama as vp)

Chrissy, Texas, you made mention of Rezko, I am sure you are not current with news, go on the Net and research how many of the Clintons fundraisers, friends to the Clintons that have been indicted for fraud charges, one even fled the country after indictment tha Hillary Clinton's fundraiser. They are so many, uncountable.

Oh, Lord have mercy. I SO hoped this would be over yesterday. It's not even about substantive topics anymore. I just cannot listen to any more nagging, condescending, nasally, "disappointed mom" soundbites from Hillary. I'll take "pie in the sky" visionary rhetoric over "go to your room, America, you're grounded!" whining any day.

The polls show that if Hillary wins, McCain beats her in every poll. Where as, if Obama is nominated-he wins every poll.

Do some simple thinking about this: Hillary will turn away every Republican-even those thinking of turning away from McCain because of her baggage. Realize that Hillary's plusses of experience and military support are dwarfed next to McCains.

Realize that Obama will take a lot of the independents, many Republicans(especially the Xtain ones).

This is why voting for Hillary gives it to McCain. The entire right wants to face Hillary because they know they can beat her. Do the math- The Republicans can beat the normal number of Democrats as they have before.

They can't beat the normal number of democrats and all of the new enfranchised voters that Obama has brought with him .

Vote Obama 2008

If you term a 3% win in Texas, and almost an overall equally divided number of delegates between the candidates, from a whopping 38% of all the remaining delegates, as BIG...

...I'd like to see the hyperbole CNN uses to describe Obama's, still, 135 pledged delegate lead with only around 560 delegates remaining, and hopefully his strong wins in Wyoming this weekend, and Mississippi next week.

If i were Hillary Clinton's campaign i wouldn't lapse into 'its a cakewalk' thinking again, Obama still has the same lead as before, and you cant go negative for 7 weeks without the consequences coming home to roost.

We are such an "in the present culture." Last night was a virtual tie in delegates, which means that Obama still has a considerable lead. Concerning momentum, out of the last 15 or so contest, who has earned the most states, popular vote, and delegates? Reality is this, Clinton will have a difficult time, at best, catching up to Obama. With all of that being said, Hill. backers, enjoy things while you can because tough times are coming in the very near future.

GO Hillary. Make me proud.

I LOVED the "left and right" hook that Hillary gave Obama last night! She is definately a fighter!

I certainly think the Obama camp is finished. They out spent Hillary 2 to 1 and still lost. That goes to show you that you can't just throw more money at a campaign and win. The voters know Obama is a fake and the momentum is on Hilliary's side in the coming weeks. Obama is a very decietful person and I think we have just seen the tip of the iceberg with him with the NAFTA and Candian secret POLITCIAL POSITIONING DEAL! Wake up Obama people. He is a fake, a liar, decietful person! There is much more to come!

Obama needs to answer A LOT OF QUESTIONS NOW!

YES SHE WILL! YES SHE WILL! YES SHE WILL!

Go Hillary! 08' 12'

I don't understand why Hillary will jubilate when She almost lost TX to Obama.. I taut she proudly said that was her firewall.. I guess her so called firewall couldn't stand Obama's wave. The only reason she won Ohio was because of all the negative attacks she launched at Obama the last days. I am in Canada, and all of us here Know that BIll's visit here last week was to work on one of his dirty tricks... I know Americans are smarter.. And I for one and Lots of people I know are proud of Yesterday's result. Obama broke the so called fire wall in Texas with dignity...
In Obama camp, there is no such time as firewall..Its just a matter of time... As for the clintons.. I have lost the little respect I had for them.. It is pathetic what they will do to get the nomination..And please, cud some1 tell me what kinda of experience she preaches about all the time.... As far as I know been a first lady, does not mean you a a co-president. I too have traveled to more than 100 countries, meet lots of people because of the position my Dad held in the 1990's but I am smart to know that my travel experiences doesn't grant me the experiences of my Dad..
So yes.. we want to know the experience she's talking about..

Obama is the best for the country and for the world, He is a uniter and that is what America needs now at this time that the whole world is against you.

Obama 08

Smart move on Senator Clinton's part to NOT have President Clinton present on stage last night...wasn't he the one that signed NAFTA....

Way back when, I voted for Bill because I believed in him, and he has always had my total support - always. I've had my doubts about Hillary, but was willing to vote for her at the outset. However, she lost me along the way and with every primary/caucus, I've begun to lose respect for the woman. Her tactics have left me cold.
With her wins and the attitude she's sporting, all I have to say is that if she has ANY hope of beating John McCain, she'd better be hiring someone other than Mark Penn to run her campaign.......like Karl Rove.

Beautiful. You have to love the tenacity of team Clinton- a true American spirit.

Her commitment to "See It Through" makes people like John Lewis look like a real weasel.

Guys and gals,

If we go by winner-take-all, in spite of Obama camp claims, Hillary is beating Barack, 1536 to 1362 without counting Michigan and Florida. If not for complicated democratic rules, Hillary would be the nominee without any question. Big states matter.

Why on earth would Senator Obama withdraw from the race? He's ahead!

Also, Hillary only won by scaring the bejesus out of people in Texas and by latching onto a discredited memo about NAFTA in Ohio.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. At the rate this race is going, no Democrat is going to win in November.

I'm saddened to see Americans being dishonest. I'm sure rules were set before the campaign began. The DNC and all the Presidential candidates agreed that FL and MC delegates will not count because they moved their primary dates earlier than it should be. The Clinton campaign wanting those delegate to count shows how dishonest she is. She has more negatives than Obama. Obama is willing to change the nature of political debate that is why to my opion he has not gone negative. The American press including CNN are very biased to Obama. Your coverage of the results coming can attest to this claim. Images of the Obama compaign were never shown when he was leading in the Texas primaries but immediately Hillary took the lead' you were gloating hence showing her campaign head quater. Shame on you. My observation has been a conserted effort by the American press to prevent Obama from being the nominee. Let all the press know this, what God has ordained no human can stop.

Fighter < Leader

More wasting of tax payer money that Clinton is soooo good at...it's the math that she can't spin away from today and the loss occurs to the Democratic Party who will pay the price if Obama loses to McCain in November based on the trash Clinton hands to him on a platter....all the while knowing the numbers are not there for a win but ever hopeful that the supers will go against the will of the majority. Even if she gets to count FL and MI...the numbers simply are not there.

I think Obama should be the president based on how he hot so much votes compared to well known hillary. Hillary didn't need to advertised about her since she was a two term first lady ( that doesnt imply she has experience). So she had the name recognition. Comapred with that I consider Obama as a strong personna that we need as a president in this country. Still he is ahead and votes reflect how he could reach to people. Same way he will be able to reach all the stakeholders that has a say domestically in internationally. What hillary did was lableing people. playing dirty games. If she becomes the president, she will keep on dividing the nation and the world.

Big wins which in the long run will not matter.

BTW, Hillary, were are your tax returns and where are your White House papers?

You are only dragging this out to (1) make it so Obama loses the general election to the Republicans, or (2) make a forced play to become the Vice President. Barack is not silly enough to place you as VP and realize you are only a heartbeat away, and that you will say or do anything to get elected.

We knew she would do it!! Onward to Pennsylvania and the White House!!

I am a Obama supporter because I believe in civil rights. Not because of his oratory skills. ANd I am sick and tired of Hillary and her supporters bashing us and saying we are delusional. This is rude and this is exactly how she is going to talk to the foreign diplomats and foreign presidents if she becomes the president, she is going to cause WW III. SHe is crying if she loses and she is underhanded and inexperienced. Basically she is going to make a bigger mess than GW Bush. At least he seems better to me now that Hillary is running.

Georgia, if you include Flroida and Michigan. Hillary is your man, oh no your commander is chie.. Don't like eh.

I am so happy this primary is over. Now the hispanics or latinos,whatever else they label themselves who voted for Ms. Clinton can return to picking hot peppers and send them to her. Most of these voters did not vote for her based on the issues but because among this group white is stile right .

Too bad the net result is only psychological.

Obama, '08

Obama is like the real estate business. Instead of "location,location, location", he says "trust me, trust me, trust me". Similar to these real estate business, the bottom is falling out from this fraud.

Hillary needed to win Texas and Ohio by 20 point margins, because there is only 1 delagate rich state left, and she barely got Texas and took Ohio by 10 points. Wins, yes, but she is in for a world of hurt being so far behind in delegates and the popular vote. Watch, after she drags us all to the convention near the end of summer, with fewer delegates and fewer popular votes, she will argue that this is not what is important, it is that she won the big ones and she is more likely to will in the GE. Essentially, screw the will of the people, I want to be president, now get out of my way, or I will take you all down with me with a series of lawsuits like you never thought possible. The super delegates are going to flock to Obama, because they like the idea of being re-elected, while her threats will destroy what shred of decency her followers thought she had. Very sad indeed, but at the end America wins. I won't ask Hillary to bow out, because she is not capable of such a humble and selfless act.

Apparently integrity,morals and honesty don't count anymore, to the people who voted for this woman..

CONGRATULATION Hillary...
Yes She Will....

People who questions her experience, please check her efforts and inolvement from her University days and during clinton running for Governor. She was very actively involved & played major role. She is tough, capable and ability provide good solutions especially to IMPROVE ECONOMY.

If Obama not nominated, I will join Republican party, at least they don't tell lies against each other. Even when the Canada deny the report, Hillary Clinton went ahead with the story. I hope Obama will refuse to be on the same ticket with Hillary. She is mean, wicked, conceited, arrongant, self centered, manupulative woman. She is not interested what is best for the country but history of being the First woman president. i you get nominated Hillary, you will not win the white house because we will all vote for Mccain. How dare you think you be the president on the ticket after all you lost so many states. To refresh your memory, Republicans won Ohio and Texas in general election.

Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh urged republicans to go out and vote for Hillary Clinton. Am I wrong or does this seem completely unethical? It kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? It would be interesting to see how many voters in Texas voted for Hillary Clinton whom are in all reality Republicans...

She still lacks delegates. So I would not celebrate just yet.

I think Hillary is = to dick cheney. In fact as a democrat this is the first time I would vote for McCain over her. She is hiding her taxes, she is claiming experience when she was first lady. She has said several racist comments on Indians and Blacks. NAFTA is created by her and Bill so why is Obama getting in trouble. Look there are advantages for NAFTA and disadvantages which Obama said he would renegioate.

CLINTON: 6ys of senate experience
OBAMA: 11 yrs of senate experience (state + national)

so isn't 11 a higher number than 6. She claiming first lady experience. And her work as a lawyer . I guess I could go and work in my husband's office then too.

Thaaaaaaat's my girl!

16 delegate net gain is not a big win......and if Barrack wins the Cacauses then it will be even smaller. Sounds like a tie. Even with her negative campaining.

When I read the hatred spewed out by the Go Obama supporters. I think these posters are Republicans or very immature school children. If you are Republicans, I could see that you would be ashamed to admit it because of who your party voted in to office in 04 and 08 and for the rest of you immature school children, grow up, and join the grownups.
Carol Ohio

what did she win!!! less delegates than Barrack

I wouldn't trust Hillary walking my dog

You Go Hillary. You have my vote anytime. All the work you have done for so many people it is time for the people to give back to you. You Rock Hillary.

How many Republicans voted for Clinton in the Texas primary as a result of conservative talk show hosts (ie. Rush Limbaugh) urging that "a vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain"?

Having just heard from a Republican friend in Texas that he did just that, I wonder if Texas Super Delegates should look at the results of the primary with caution.

If you count the popular vote in Michigan and Florida, hasn't Clinton won more of the popular vote or the people vote and shouldn't she get more of the Super Delegates by Obama's own rationale since more voters voted for her?

Hillary simply cannot catch Obama in the remaining races. She needs to drop out and get behind him right now, for the sake of party unity. Carrying on like this only damages the Democrats election chances in November.

I am very angry with how the African American vote has gone since SC.

African Americans found a way to justify their voting for Obama and leaving their long time and old friends the Clintons. These are the same Americans the Clintons stood up for all their lives.
African Americans used to say Bill was the first black president.

Boy was that bull

With friends like these who needs enamies.

An example of the African Americans vote since SC using Texas as an example
Last night in Texas
African Americans ages 30-44 went 84% Obama 16% Clinton
African Americans ages 45-59 went 85% Obama 15% Clinton

Even if Obama was indicted along with Rezko he would still get the same %

Happy in Texas
Hilary real solutions for real people
Obama more dreams for dreamers

Can someone tell me please how being the wife (or for that matter son) of the President is a qualifier for the position. Hillary keeps speaking of her readiness...for what??? Bringing coffee into a 3 a.m. presidential meeting does not lend to being qualified. Look at the current situation (a father held office)...and the legacy of this administration....Mr. McCain....your resume please.

You go girl! that's the way a champion does it. Just keep getting up and dusting herself off. You make me smile so big I could scream. There is joy in the morning. God bless you both !!!! I simply do not understand how you guys keep going day after day. The both of you have to be commended (Obama) for your endurance. Have a great campaign.

Why are Obama supporters even posting here? She won, you lost – get over it. LOL. That's all there is to it. When you post here, we SEE THROUGH IT. You are posting because you are angry and bitter. Take a loss with some grace, please. People now see Obama for the pacifist, manipulating, empty POLITICIAN that he is

Hillary is hands down the best choice for the leader of the free world. She can put America back on top and help repair our image around the world.

Obama has been dividing this party from the very beginning. He said he wouldn't run in '08 because he just got elected to the senate. Well, now he's running, and he's running on blind self-ambition. He's not going to bring about positive change, he's too wrapped up in himself to even know what the American people want. He's proven so far that he will say anything to get elected, true or false.

Hillary has consistently stood up for the people, all her life, she's worked to improve the lives of others. She would go down in history as one of the best presidents of our great country.

Yes a very big win of 4 net pledged delegates.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

With the negative compaign she will be negative for the Country. I will vote for Republican in November.

I live in Michigan. My comment is that it appears that once again, our president will be decided by a court. I think that the "people" in Michigan and Florida have no right to cast our vote. We didn't change the primary date, and for a government that is supposed to be " for the people", "We the people of Michigan and Florida" apparently are no longer a part of the election process. A court will decide who if anyone, gets our votes and in that way they will again pick our next president. I'm sure we will be informed on the day before the election that it is too late for a second primary that would actually give us the right to choose; after all Hillary claims the win since her name was the only one we could choose.

They said she was done
Instead she won
clap, clap, clap, clap
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.

No matter how you spin
Obama didn't win
clap, clap, clap clap
DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.

DEEP IN THE HEAAAART....OF TEXAS!

RIDE 'UM COWGIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU TEXAS OHIO RHODE ISLAND AND VERMONT (she won votes there too!!!) !!!!!!!!!

WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!
TRUE DEMOCRATIC BIG STATES!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLINTON/OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

YES SHE CAN!!!!!!

Correction, it was 11 straight wins. RI made 12. NOT 12 straight, his streak has been broken. Also, I am so tired of CNN and their Obama lean campaign. Did you notice that it took until there was well over 80000 votes in Ohio to call it for Clinton. Barrack had 400 to Clinton's 100 in Vermont with less than 1% reporting but he was the projected winner. They are screwing this up all over again. Why not call Florida for President Bush in November? That might work to your advantage. Non-bias in the media? Definitely not with CNN.

1988 – George Bush
1992 – Bill Clinton
1996 – Bill Clinton
2000 – George Bush
2004 – George Bush
2008 -???

No More Clintons, no More Bushes!!!!
Is this America, Or England?

Florida-We want our votes counted. Our votes are just as important as anyone else's. We the people did not do anything wrong. Charlie Criss [Republican] moved the primary date up. Everyone was on the ballot and the only ads we saw were from Obama. We monitor votes for other countries to ensure everyone's vote counts and then in our own country we don't count our own people's votes. That is ls not the American way.

YES !!!!

WAY TO GO HILLARY !!!!!!!

The people of Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island have spoken and the "Big Mo" has turned. Its great to see the people are looking past words and are demanding action.
I want to remind the Barrack supporters who are now bousting about the delgate count, that their is a total of 350 superdelagates that are still undecided. If Barrack can not win a big state he will make a fine Vice President.

Since when is pointing out differences between you and your opponent "going negative"? I say, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the election!

So can anyone tell me how the President can go PRESENT on issues? Obama has done it well over a 150 times in the senate in less than two years. Now there is a record we should talk about! So explain to him how its done as President because its the only way he can handle something controversial. Oh that's right the President has to actually make a real decision.... over a 150 times in less than two years he's failed miserably to do that. Oh yes baby, that's the one I want in the White House :/

Hillary Clinton 2008!

There is no doubt that she is winning all the states that matter in a general election. America has awaken to this great cadidate.

Go Hillary.

Watch her smoke Obama out, now that the people are beginning to see the truth.

i was so excited about ohio i was yelling at the coverage saying go hillary!!!!!my little grandson yelled go hillary it was so cute!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's face it people. Neither one of these candidates is going to get to the "magic" number without the help of the superdelegates. Obama can try to spin Hillary's wins any way he wants to, but he should be careful about telling people to just "do the math". He needs the support of the superdelegates just as much as she does, and the superdelegates DO NOT have to vote with their constituencies, that was not what they were created to do. Hillary has every right to stay in this race with fewer delegates than Obama. It is not like the two of them are far apart in numbers as the Republicans were. I just think the Obama campaign is really nervous about the fact she did win 3 of the 4 states last night, and two of those states (OH and TX) are important states to be won during a general election. I also think they (BO campaign) are nervous that she has an extremely good chance at convincing the superdelegates to back her over him, especially when you consider all of the other large, populated states that she has won. Hillary should continue on in this race. The states yet to vote deserve a say in who they want as their nominee in November. Obviously, OH and TX did not agree with the 11 states before them.

it's great how suddenly everyone who loves Hillary has decided Barack would make a good VP. ha ha

three words.. PAUL VS. CLINTON

Go Hillary!!!

I couldn't be prouder of Hillary if she were my mother!!!!

She has been vilified for years. She has had to endure ordeals that would have broken lesser people, throughout it all she has not only survived but thrived.

Hillary, your wins are well deserved and I for one can't wait to see you back in the White House!!! Congratulations!!!!

Hillary '08!!!!!!!!!

There was never much question about Vermont voters going for Obama. The voters here in Vermont are well know for being more concerned with being part of a "movement" than what is best for the nation. Obamazombies are more concerned with being a part of electing the first black president than electing someone who can get us out of the Bush mess. Couldn't they have found a black candidate with some substance? Anyway, if Obama receives the nomination I will be voting republican for the first time ever. I urge all Hillary supporters to do the same.

Obama should know who he is. For the sake of democrats, please go home. Hillary can't be stopped. She is a fighter. american need a fighter.
Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congratulations hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after all the bad press coverage and media bias you fought on and you won!!!!!!!!!! barack obama was finall y questiond on things which should of bee done on the beginning of the campaign he couldn't stand the heat and ran off. Is that a strong leader no! florida should be counted or have another primery.hillary won that state by a large amount. and it was record amounts of people who turned out.to vote. for obama to say it was unfair becasue he never got to avertise or have speeches is silly nobody did. but he thinks if he comes out and of course he wants caucases because of the intiminating aspects of those why not another primary where the will of the people and free domocracy is at work one person goes in and votes for their choice without being told to chan ge who they want to vote for.

She's got the fighting spirit of those of us who earn less than 75,000
dollars per yr. We get knocked down but we get up again. You will never ever keep us down. Because we've got TRUE GRIT!
Obama fans love how the rules and crying "racism" helped keep them in the game. Yes Edwin Portland, the caucus rule in TX netted him more delegates than the popular vote majority gave her. Obama fans see no harm no foul. They should REMEMBER to see NONE should the same thing happen at the convention in her favor. There are NO
RULES REQUIRING superdelegates to VOTE the RESULTS of the
primaries and caucuses!!! Turnabout IS fairplay.
Real Democrats Don't Quit!!!

Are you people dillusional?

She cannot win this nomination mathematically unless Obama completely self-destructs, and that is not going to happen,

this crap about VP choice is bougus, that is like the Patriots telling the Giants, we'll let you hold the Superbowl trophy occasionally!!!!

Helloooooo, wake up people, are we paying attention or talking out of our behinds?

It is so typical of that pillager and thief to steal OB line..Yes we can..Yes we will. Oh please

WOOHOO!! We love you Hillary. Thank you Texas and Ohio..... you did the right thing............................ We need Hillary in the White House and not an empty ship like Obama..........

PS- My 6 year old daughter want to say that she loves you and want to see you in real life....

OBAMA/POWELL in 08!!!!!

Deborah, you need to also add that Clinton campaigned in Florida as well and Obama wasn't even on the ticket in Michigan. Shall you recalculate your penalties...hmmmmm?

Go !!!!! Hillary !!!!!!
You have a BIG CHANCE TO BE nominated.
Many Republicans are not happy with Bush's suppor for McCain.
I have many friends Republicans, but they will vote for Hillary, becouse they don't like Bush?McCain to continue to drawn the country !!!!!!
Hillary is the best candidate !!!!!!!
GO !!!!!!!!!! HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard Hillary state in her speach that she won Florida and Michigan. Why is Hillary and her husband spying on the Super Delegates? Hillary should be focusing on the people. If Barrack is cheated out of his votes I will be apart of The American Democracy For Justice Blackout Movement. Why must Afican American continue to be lynched in a political way?

Hillary supporters- you're lacking wisdom. Look at what is going on right in front of your eyes- or is YOUR spouse sleeping around too? How can Hillary successfully run a nation if she can't even successfully run her household? STOP THE MADNESS!!! Let's get someone in the White House who is a person with character, morals and is honorable.
Barack's aplomb (look it up) alone will win him the nomination.
I don't speak Spanish and can not translate for those supporters.

Clinton Campaign Strategy: Fear – You should FEAR what would happen if the phone rings in the White House at 3:00 am and Barack Obama is the one who must answer.

Obama Campaign Strategy: Hope – Let's everyone HOPE that if Barack Obama wins the presidency, that 3:00 am phone call never happens.

Go Hillary!

HILLARY – HILLARY HILLARY !

WHAT A COZY TOUCH... CAN'T THE UNWANTED FORCED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE SPEAK FOR HIMSELF ? ? ?

NEVER ...EVER ... EVER , HAVE I SEEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES COME OUT AND USE AIR TIME TO ENDORSE AN UNWANTED CANDIDATE AND THE LOVE OF MONEY TO GET THE NOMINATION .... ! ! ! NOT TO MENTION ONE THAT WAS TOO CHICKEN TO DEBATE THE CANDIDATE THAT (((TRULY))) REPRESENTS THE PARTY .

WECOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER ! ! !

This further secures Ohio's standing as my least favorite state in the Union.

Looking forward to the NC primary on May 6th. Yes we can!

Go Hillary!

Come on people get your head out Obama only outspent Clinton 3-1
I live in Ohio and got 11 flyers from that guy and about 10 phone calls from his campaign and he still lost .Obama is a good speaker and he inspires but Clinton is someone who can deliver .And the same thing will happen in Pennsylvannia Americans are worried about the economy and if neither have enough delegates then they need to work with Florida and Michigan and again these two huge states will vote the same as Ohio and Pennsylvannia .Clinton does much better in states that have primaries rather than these caucases states where only about 10%of voters get to vote because of set times .The general election runs more like a primary and we need the strongest candidate to run .

If you really had your eyes open ! You 'd know that one of Obama's supporters ,if not more, made a video on the internet last year !IN IT some one threw a large hammer at a picture of hillary talking on a m ove screen ! BUT PEOPLE ONLY SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE!

Clinton does not have enought delegates? She should bow out gracefully and let her party survive/
Steve

Hmmm

I wonder if Mrs Obama is proud of her country this morning?

realse your tax returns madam

M.O. "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country"

Well Michelle, I say this:

"I am proud to me an American and will ALWAYS be proud to be an American, and am specially PROUD TO BE A HILLARY SUPPORTER!"

Gooo Hillary!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you TEXAS, OHIO, RHODE ISLAND!!!!!!!

Hillary is a liar and the truth is not in her. We don't need a president like her.

The one BIG issue no one is talking about in this election so far is the Supreme Cout! Democrats, we must stand together and vwork and vote for whom ever gets the Democratic nomination. Let us not have a more conservative court for our children's generation. May the best candidate win and I will work on your campaign to beat McCain Cookie

Go Hillary!

Donate to her campaign so Obama can't outspend her on ads!!!

Actually, she won "as predicted"...not "big". She performed just as the polls indicated she would. Had she beaten the polls and expectations, as Barack has done often in the past month, you could make that claim, CNN. Stop buying into the Clinton cry baby machine and report it as it is.

If the candidates split all remaining delegates (including supers), Obama will clinch the nomination. Hillary needs 60% of all remaining delegates (including supers) to win.

After Wyoming and Mississippi Hillary's number jumps to about 65%. It simply will NOT happen.

Let the media report what it wants, Obama locked up the nomination last night. That's numbers, not opinions.

The question is not just win small, she needs to win big, otherwise she won't be make it to the top. so far the distance is almost close to 2025 delegates to win.Obama has 1520 delegates. PLEASE DO THE MATH.

Big wins? I don't think so. And why isn't she living up to her decision to get out unless they were?
I'm sick of primaries, caucuses, the millions spent on campaigns, Hillary's negative attacks....the Electoral College, delegates and ridiculous super delegates need to go. It's time for the popular vote to determine who will be best for the country.

Ever notice how these candidates win primaries/caucases everytime they're either a big hit on popular television shows or are extensively covered in the media (and might I also add with a considerable amount of bias!) I'm Canadian, so obviously I'm not on any side of this presidential campaign, but the more I observe the functions of American politics, the more ridiculous it all looks to me!

Did anybody just see the President as he was endorsing McCain? HE WAS DRUNK!!! It was so obvious!!! No wonder he has been such a freak as President. He's been drunk most of the time!

This is one Democrat who would NEVER vote for Hillary under any circumstances. Her FEAR AND SMEAR tactics make me sick. I have lost all respect for her.

Because there's no realistic way she can actually get the nomination, I'd probably leave the party should she become the candidate because it would have had to involved using superdelegates and subverting the will of the party for her own political gain.

OBAMA! (or Nader). HILLARY – NEVER!

I'll never in a million years vote for Hillary. She has stooped to an all time low during this process and I'm so ashamed I ever considered backing her if Obama lost the nomination. The only way I would support her now is if Obama is on the ticket as VP. Otherwise, McCain, you've just won my vote.

Disgusted in Cali

If Hillary gets the nomination, I would certainly doubt voting democratic, something that I thought would never happen.

Obama's rationale is needed greatly in the white house–after seeing Hillary's attacks on Obama, I see her at about the same level of any typical politician.... about at the same level of flip flopping as Bush.

Obama 08

I said yesterday, Obama's Bridle would slip in Ohio. He'd lose his saddle, in Texas. I guess he lost , the First Six Furlongs. Now they'r in the straight.

Go Girl, now all the way to the Wire....

If Hillary is hinting at Barrack Obama being her vice presidential running mate– it is because she wants others to believe that voting for her means you are getting him too. What a sly little ploy that is. If she really didn’t believe that he is ready to be President, why even hint of making him HER vice. We all know that if anything shall happen to the President, the Vice takes control of the Presidency according to our Constitution. What she is really saying is she wants to be first because she is a woman and would make history in so many ways. We have to be deeper thinkers than what we have been in the past. Is it really about the wishes of the American people or is the wish of the family of three Clintons. If Hillary were really listening to the wishes of the American people she would allow Mr. Obama to concentrate on running this race against John McCain instead of negative in-fighting with her. When we don’t think about our choices and the underlying messages, we end up with someone like our present President. Think people—why would someone want you on their ticket if they really don’t believe you are qualified. There are many other qualified people who could be vice-president—why would she consider Barrack Obama unless it fit her own personal needs and because of his qualifications. If she wins, we will all see just how disingenuous she really is. Friend of foe?

Hey Hillary- WHERE ARE YOUR TAX RETURNS????? At the last debate you "promised" that you would have them available in 2 weeks - Now you're saying that you're going to wait until April, yeah right??? YOU'VE BROKEN YOUR PROMISE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kind of President I certainly do not want!

"So Clinton lives to run for another seven weeks. But if you believe in the power of numbers, the candidate of inevitability is Barack Obama".(Marck Harelin).....

So Hillary, WHERE ARE YOUR TAX RETURNS????!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Hillary! Many in the news media and talking heads have egg on their faces this morning.

Winning the big states does make a difference for a democratic win in November. Winning 10 caucus states that will vote republican in the fall will not bring in a win for the democrats. This race is not over and all the states deserve a chance to be heard - including Michigan and Florida!

You know, that was some kind of celebration that Hillary put on last night, that type of celebration is usually reserved for the moment when you usually win the nomination. So I think it was all a show. It demonstrated just how desperate her campign is. Hillary enjoy this type of celebration for now, because OBAMA will have one bigger than this when he wins the Democratic Nomination. Besides I guess after 11 straight defeats, your supporters needed to taste how if felt to win, I know it had been awhile for all your supporters and that's all you all will have for the rest of this month.

OBAMA 08

CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY !!!!!!!!!
No-BAMA/SAMA for the White House !!!!!!!

This country is in disarray. How can americans think that a candidate with no experience like Mr. Obama can get us out of this economic nightmare! We need someone with experience in the White House and that is Hilary Clinton. To those who voted for the Republicans 4 years ago. Now you are paying the price. We will not allow you to make the same mistake again. Congratulations Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary will work hard for us. US bad economy won't "change" by just saying Obama "change", it need hard work instead of empty words.

I have been following this election and felt that things were getting better after the last 7 days I've come to the realization that as a friend of mine always says times change but people don't. I'm sure that people around the globe are saying they haven't changed. As a country we deserve everything that we have gone though and will probably go through in the near future.

To me its crazy the only way a person can know whether or not they are a good commander in chief is once they become one. No one knows what type of a husband they are going to be until they get married or what type of dad or mom they are going to be until they actually have children. A person knows what they can do once they have actually done it and being president is unless anything else in the world.

When are we as a country going to stop listening to the promises of politicians. I'm waiting for something I will probably never see which is for someone to be totally tranparent and honest with the people and let the chips fall where they may if they get elected fine if not they go on and live their life.

This is the biggest fairy tale I have ever heard...

Hard working American vote for Hillary. All these college kid & rich white who don't have anything to do after 5 PM caucus for Obama.

Whay all of these balck supporting OBAMA? Is it race or issue?

I believe it is race motivated, So what should I call them?

Hello OBAMA FAN, When all black unite for black candidte in November don't you think white will unite for John McCain?

I think Hillary is the best candidate. She is the candidate of Black, White, Hispanic, Asian. She can unite the democratic party & win in November.

Wowwwww...............

Cindy–her own husband said she would have to win BOTH Ohio and Texas. THe pundits said she would have to win big

I have spent 20 years as an anesthesiologist and sleep in a hospital four days out of the month next to a phone that can ring at any time in the middle of the night with an emergency that is always different than the last. There are no numbers of meetings or visits to foreign countries that will prepare any of the candidates for the 3:00 AM national emergency. Thus this is old political scare tactics similar to the sentiment that put Bush in the white house to make multiple non-emergent judgment blunders. The pitiful part of this it is that she is taking advantage of the American Public by using fear to scare up votes with no substance to back it up. This is the same old ruthless dirty politics the Clintons are known for. There is a better chance that Hillary will be on another line making a multimillion-dollar book deal when the phone rings at 3:00 AM. Remember the eight million dollar book deal that was her first order of business when she became a senator. But then again she continues to hide her tax return!!!! These facts are actual behavior not hypothetical scenarios.

I am a democrat, but I could never vote for Hillary Clinton in good conscience. McCain seems OK though...so no biggie.

It'd be nice if CNN did a story on the Republican vote yesterday in the Democratic Primaries. After Obama won the Republican vote in states like VA (72-23) and WI (72-28) at an average of 2:1 (75%-25%), suddenly the Ohio exit polls show a 49-49 tie and Texas a 53-46 split for Obama. With Republicans making up about 10% of the vote in both states, this was truly the difference in Hillary's "victory".

CNN was all over Limbaugh's Republican plan to sabotage the election on Monday, yet there's no mention about it today now that the plan appears to have gone through. How about it?

What are you talking about democracy !!!! You are all democrats and that was the rules of your party that been agreed about the delegates and superdelegates, that is democracy !!! that you were albe to agree on that.

Obama points to the independent and republican voters who have supported him.
That is the crux of the problem for the Democratic Party face if Obama is the nominee.
Obama is a democrat and the majority of the democratic party is not voting for him, Obama needs to keep those independent and republican supporters, otherwise he will lose in a general election.
I believe that the vast majority of those republicans will go back to the republican now that McCain is their nominee.
The independents will peel off from Obama during the general election, when the republicans show that Obama is not the messiah
as he is portrayed.

With Rush's support, it was a sure thing in Texas!!

scare tactics? come on, your not serious? were you really scared? lol. and excuse me, i live in michigan, and i want my voice heard, we moved up our primary to save the state of michigan. our big 3 held this economy down for years, and now that all you earwigs are buying foreign, we're hung to dry. Check out our state. Seat my delgates. Have a do-over, i don't care, but i want my voice to be heard. Hillary 08

I don't want to see Barack be her VP. If that happens I am not voting.

She is such slime and her experience is almost non existent. Nobody questions it. I guess her victim card worked on the media and her negative campaign worked. People can say what they want about negativity but unfortunately, it DOES work. That says a about the people of this country .

Onward and BIG in Pennsylvania! Yes SHE will, Yes SHE will, Yes SHE will....Thank you Texas, Ohio, and RI.

Iowa picks corn, New Hampshire picks presidents, Florida decides. And as Ohio goes so goes American. nuff said.

Did she actually win Texas though? I can't understand the headlines this morning on all the websites about "Obama regaining ground'. Did she win or didn't she??

Either way, doesn't matter. I won't vote for a bigot, so it'll either be Obama or McCain for me – but the news organizations definitely need to clarify the headlines for the Texas story. It doesn't make any sense.

Hillary ,

Please go away. You are dragging this campaign into the gutter. The republicans were able to be civil in their campaign, why can't we. I realize the general electorate is used to watching WWF and American Gladiators, but can we at least keep the race for the most important post in the nation an honorable contest. I used to support you, but I started to see your true ambition was pure vanitya and power, not to do what is best for this nation. Senator Obama seems to have genuine intentions. His supporters will be the footsoldiers of change, together we will turn this country around. We can't do that by motivated only the dimmest among us. please Hillary, lets end this damaging campaign.Accept the VP spot and lets move on to beat Grandpa Munster on the Republican side.

Hillary and/or McCain = Neo-con.

Neo-con's best hope is to get both as candidates for the presidency. The only way the people will have some voice is by getting Obama in there to challenge McCain!

Hillary wins POPULAR vote. (Texas)
Obama seems ahead in CAUCUS vote.

Who is selected by the people and who knows how to work the system from the inside?

Time to take off the halo.

Go Hillary!

Hillary didn't win anything; America lost. Hillary did Rove and McCain's work by using the usual Republican attacks and smears against Obama. All this shows is that dirty politics works in America. It also shows that there is a lot of underlying racism, where people would rather vote for an unqualified white woman than anyone who is not white. Obama is clearly ahead in the delegate count and should be the nominee–and doesn't need Hillary as number 2. If Obama is not the nominee, the Democratic party will be destroyed forever.

H+O will be a worst ticket. Polotics doesn't simply work that way. O can be easily attacked due to his records. This ticket will push a lot of people to the GOP side. I hope H can win the GE, but not with this combo.
Good luck! H

Hillary is a republican running a democratic race like Nixon would have! Don't take the bate!

Has the world gone crazy? Obama still leads by 100 delegates. Mathematically Ohio and Texas were a success for him, his winning probability INCREASED. Hillary back on track? Too late. Shift of momentum? Too late. There is no theoretical way for Hillary to get back into it, unless the superdelegates are going to go against the will of the people by a huge margin, tearing the party and its support apart for good.

So what is going to happen from here on? Hillary is going to get ever more desperate, even more negative and do the "swift-boat" ground work for the republicans, laying the foundations for a McCain victory in November, because the Democratic party and it's support will be too divided, too polarized to achieve the needed unity.

With her selfish posturing, her politics of personal attack, Hillary Clinton is helping the republicans win the white house.

It will be quite an outstanding feat. After 8 years of diplomatic and economic turmoil, the republicans will stay in charge with a promise of more of of the same. Unbelieveable.

Hillary is destroying the party, and I challenge anyone to contest this with facts. She is "swift-boating" her own party members, and that is utterly despicable.

You go Hillary....!!! California loves you!!!!
Obama is going to start getting nasty.. So, just hang in there...
Keep taking charge And, lets win this!!!!
DJ

Hillary, YOUR HIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now go get them!!!!!!!!!!! You are our only hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to the comment that if Hillary doesn't win the democratic nomination, Democrats will vote Republican. Well I have news for you ,Obama voters feel the same way!!!!

YES!!!! WAY TO GO HILLARY!!!!! Thanks to OHIO, Rhode Island and Texas!!!!!!

I'm thrilled to see Hillary win!

Keep going.....on to the White House!!!!

What win??? Hillary has only won primary numbers, whereas Barack already was ahead in Pledged Delegates and is still ahead!!! Hillary will continue to do whatever it takes to win. Come June, if Barack is still ahead in pledged delegates and the super delegates decide to give her the vote, then we will boycott the democratic party and go independent. We KNOW what's happening out there!!!

YES! If they work together and cool the egos, we might have 16 successful years rebuilding our democracy and reclaiming the justice system.

I cannot believe I find myself agreeing with someone from Ohio. ohio3/4. You got it right. My president salutes the flag and will get sworn on the Bible not the Koran. Hillary or McCain will do for me and my family. The sacrifice my sons are making in Iraq will not be for naught.

YES !!!

WE DID IT !!!

THANK YOU TEXAS, THANK YOU RHODE ISLAND, THANK YOU OHIO

THANK YOU AMERICA

KEEP FIGHTING !!!

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON PRESIDENT 2008 !!!

I agree with Mike's comment about Obama's hype not hope. Hilary has the momentum and can win the nomination because she has proven herself over and over again by answering questions as opposed to the "other democratic candidate who dodges them". You know her platform and where she stands and what she is offering but I personally am not clear on Obama's stand on many issues. Obama has a nice smile and is charming but it takes more than that to be the Commander in Chief. Go Hilary!

Nice Job Sen. Clinton much love,

Obama08

Footnote that Clinton is close to losing the Truthfighters vote, including the black vote. We will create a movement for all to join the Independents. We will flock to become Independents. It is confusing why the media is doing for Clinton just because she cried. The media still wants to cast a shadow over the black people as if we are not worthy or we are less than. That is why America has not come together because the media e like to see Hillary and the republicans play the fear raod. Had you not covered it so in depth it would have never taken off.
If the super deligates do not go with the popular vote who ever it may be that will be protested also with law suits.
Clinton is showing why she should have run as a republican as she was as a youg lady. She only changed because she got married. Her heart is still with them or she would not have used their tactics to hurt Barak.

I am so excited, I really felt that I made a difference. I had no idea a year ago I would be living in Texas much less doing my part to help her win the state. I really feel that one person really can make a difference. I was so excited that she won my state and Ohio and Rhode Island by such big margins. I really expected Ohio to be really close but in her favor but I didn't think she would get Texas.

Go Hillary. Stand your ground all the way up to the Convention.

Wins in Ohio and Texas, but not by the wide margins the pundits were saying she needed to remain viable. The delegate count is more or less what it was a couple of days ago, Obama has earned a large lead, without resorting to her ugly style of politicking.
She lost my vote some time ago and has done nothing admirable to recapture it.

Deborah 10:12 am..... You are spot on! I live in Michigan. We would even be open to giving Obama the 40% of the "uncommitted voters", those who would have voted for Edwards or Obama. They are the only two candidates not on our ballot. Clinton would still win 55% of the vote. I think Florida votes should count as well, but agree that maybe Obama should be penalized, he did run ads.

Why is HIllary always being blamed for dividing the party. Wasn't she the heir apparent? Didn't Obama, with his insatiable ego come barging in? I know some of you equate "waiting his turn" as rascist but it isn't. That's the way it works. He would be a great VP and will be ready in 8 years. 16 years of Democratic rule! How sweet it is!

Hillary or McCain. The game is on. Thank you Texas and Ohio. Thank you CNN for telling it like it is. This is an election for the Presidency of the United States not American Idol. Experience does count. Big States, Big Victory, Small states equal defeat. The American public has spoken. Now let's hear from Florida and Michigan. GO BLUE.

Well America .... we are pleased to smart ppl runing for the big office. I am sure America and the rest of the world would be happy to have one of them as president. I prefer Clinton.

Unlike Michel Obama I am always proud to be an American and I think it is time for woman to lead we the guys may follow for once.

I have no idea how many of these comments are Dems, Reps or Ind. But I am really disgusted in the attitudes between the ones that purport to be dems. We need substantive discussions on how we are going to bring the war to an end, protect against rising Talaban in Afghanistan, work with the world in Africa – etc.
As well as immigration – education – jobs – energy.
WHY are we sniping at each other – how can we bring these two together for the good of (not the party), but the Nation?

Experience does matter! Who wants someone (Obama) who promises the universe and only delivers to who donates the most to his campaign. Errrr, did I really say that! Hillary should be the nominee and Barak should be VP. That will never happen!

I always thought Hillary would be an on top person. I don't see her on the bottom. Maybe we should ask Bill if she likes to be on top or bottom.

If Hillary Clinton gets this nomination I for one will not vote at all.
I am so tired of the same dirty politics that I will again withdraw from the political process because it is just pointless. The Clintons are famous for so many proven scandals that I can hardly believe that the american people will go for their nonsence. Remember "I smoked but did not inhale"? Just one small indication of how manipulative and deceictful the Clintons are.
I am deeply sadenned that we have turned back time yet again.

AHHH. Why don't my posts ever get in? Am I to Pro Hillary?

I would love to have Mr. Bloomberg runing but and since is not the case of course I have to go either Clinton or Obama, they sound to me very phony, they should remind people that they do not fix problems but the Congress does, so promises are stupid, Obama may be a nice man, I don't know if he is ready for the position, is captivating the voters being a black man, but seems to me he is being pratonized by and mostly the media and of course the black electorate is more than willing to refute it. His wife, being well educated, should kept her mouth shut. as she stated not to be pround of this country up to that point, if he loses is she going back NOT TO BE PROUD? if you can't say something intelligent , don't say anything. and besides is dangerous making such comments in the world we live in, do we want more racial problems?.

All this Hillary wins the big States stuff does not matter. The big Blue States she has won (like CA and NY) are going to stay blue anyway. Obama is the only one who can reach accross to other folks, like Independents and Liberal Republicans, to capture swing States. This is why him doing well in more Red states is important. Some of you bloggers must not be that smart, because your rationale about it being important that Hillary is winning big blue States that always go blue anyway does not add up.

She is a liar and a cheat. America should have known that
Obama would have had a very good explaination to her
dirty political trick about Canada on the eve of the elections.
Obama never had a chance to explain and Americans fell
for her lies.

In my opinion, Obama would never concede to be V.P
under her. It would be just like Powell. He got out because
he couldn't stand the lies that have put our country in danger.

OBAMA for President or nothing. Oh, the Senate. but never
under a liar. NEVER. Obama would never lie to our country
and never be able to watch her back.

OBAMA or Nobody 2008

Obama should fight on to win the nomination; if he accepts the dream ticket with this sheer hypocrisy, then i will vote John McCain and finally ask for my contribation back...

I thought after Hillarys big win the news media might give her some
credit, all they did was talk about what Obama needs to do to come back, shame on you for not being fair and balanced, She's been
getting the kitchen sink thrown at her this whole past yr. He gets a
couple of negatives and its just dirty politics, Last time I checked this
is a presidential race not a popularity contest, The media has been
saying for the last few weeks Hillary should just get out of the race
before she damages the party, last I knew the voters who have been
coming out in record numbers think its up to them to decide the race
not just convenience for the party. Good Job Hillary!
Mrs. Independent

Obama is still ahead in delegates. These were not the BIG wins that Bill said she needs. We will work hard! Obama 08!!!!

does anyone else think it is a little odd that Clinton won the Texas primary, but it looks like Obama has won the Texas caucus. What does that say about Texas?

she won 3 out of the last 15. she won by not a large margin. how is that a big win . the democrats deserve to lose this thing in november. the democrats are a party of racist plain and simple. a party that condones hillary clintons wink wink nod nod muslim remark hillary's campaign releasing the photo on drudge report. the e-mail that was circulated in iowa. the racial tone in s.c. the darking of obama's face in the tv ad in texas.

Delegates matter. Texas is too close-people.
Obama should fight on to win the nomination; if he accepts the dream ticket with this sheer hypocrisy, then i will vote John McCain and finally ask for my contribation back...

Congrats to Team Hillary! And thank you voters of Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island. Let's let everyone have their say, and their votes! Keep it going!

Go Hillary!

Go all the way Hillary!!!

You're the only one who can win in November and people can now finally see that.

Great victories last night. Bravo!

Last nights wins show once again Barack Obama can not beat John McCain in November. Obama has yet to win a major state. Obama might have the most number of states and sure he has more delegates currently but in November it is winner takes all and having the popular vote or most states wont mean a thing. Hilary has show she has what it takes to win the big states and that is what is needed to win the presidency. Just ask Al Gore.

CNN:

I am so tired of this election already. Non of the Canidates really care what we do, what we say or what we will lose from now till Novemeber. The delegates are going to decide for us anyway. Sad but true......

Moderate Blue looking to the RED side, if Obama gets the nomination.

Thank you TX, OH and RI You STOP THE EMPTY SUIT MAN. AT last people thinking with there head and not jumping on the express train to no where. I knew you could do it Hillary! Now maybe the media will be fair and stop asking for tax return you really think she has something to hide go look up last year taxes and the year before that and keep going back 35 years. How about asking for Obama house papers and dealing with his church.

March 4 was a nice day for Hillary. Kudos. Unfortunately for her she didnt gain any ground on pledged delegates. With basically 11 states left in the primaries and only PA, WV and KY on her side it wont offset the Obama states- Oregon, NorthCarolina, all the smaller other ones. Its a wash. Even if you factor Florida back in , in the event the DNC conducts a re-do there, she still wont be able to overtake Obama's pledged delegate lead before the convention. Therefore it will take the superdelegates for her to win the nomination. That is a problem. Will the superdelegates disenfranchise the millions of Democrats and others who voted in this process and chose Obama ( albeit by a slim margin)

Lying about a meeting with Canada is not politics as usual, "ey"? Oh, but, I think it is..... Hillary doesn't claim to be some perfect politician as some do. If you're going to put yourself on a pedastool, make sure your actions correspond with your words! Way to go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohio loves you!!!!!

THANK YOU TEXAS!!!
Because of your resolve the world will be spared the prospect of having anyone named Bush or Clinton for the next 4 years in the Whitehouse.
It is now impossible for Hillary Clinton to win the nomination without blowing up the Democratic party. If she wins the nomination ...McCain wins and I'm OK with that. If she loses Obama wins and that would be great!
Hillary Clinton's petulance is astounding!

THINK ABOUT..

HE SPEND TWICE AS MUCH ON ADS AND HE STILL LOST!!!!

HILLARY 08!!!!!

To all Obama supporters:

I visited his website, set aside for a lot of vague statements starting with: ""I will do this"" or ""I will do that"" many of them not even supported by a shred of a plan , I have a simple, basic question:

WHERE IS THE BEEF? – WHERE IS THE BEEF?

You Go Gurl, You are the true "COME BACK KID" Part II.

ASIANS & LATINOS FOR HILLARY 08.

CHINO OF ORLANDO FLORIDA U.S.A.

It's funny to me how small states or "red" states mean nothing to certain democrats during the primary election season but when the general election season comes around the small states or the "red" states are all of a sudden needed and appreciated. Small states are the ones bringing the new and independent voters to the table and that's not because of Hillary. I am in Ohio and Clinton showed no favor towards us until she needed us! Trust me on that point. You cannot think you can win a general election because you win 4 or 5 "big" states. What about the other 40 plus states? You need them to Hillary. So at least act like you appreciate them now, instead of wanting them to run to your aid later.

And I see Hillary's "BIG" state wins just like how I look at the undefeated season of the New England Patriots; meaningless without the big prize at the end. And if the Democratic party is smart they won't split the party and disrespect the voters by selecting her as the nominee when convention time comes. The one who has the most pledged delagates and more of the popular vote should be the nominee. At that time if it's not her, she should just go away quietly.

She won the critical swing states of Ohio and Florida. Need we say more? If we learn anything from 2000 and 2004 – those states decide the Presidency more or less.

She's also way up against McCain on those states in the number of votes. While Obama barely edge out McCain number of votes in Florda.

The only big democrat reliable state Obama won is his homestate of Illinois. The rest went to Hilary. Pennsylvania is also looking good for her. I say he should consider the VP spot if he lose PA. Although Edwards might snatch that one.

Have a sense DNC, it's all very telling now.

I sure hope this post gets to see the light of day CNN.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 and the smart choice! Yes, she will, and yes, we will!

Before you head out of the house and vote, HIDE GRANDMA'S CAR KEYS!

We need to get rid of the superdelegates. What good are they? I have heard many of them say "they don't care what how their district voted, they are going to vote the way they want to." We do not need 800 people with greater power the the voting public. It seems that superdelegates are set up to be paid by the candidate for their vote.

Wait, hold up! Y'all need to learn how to count. Before Tuesday, Obama was ahead by 109 overall delegates. Now, he is up by 96 delegates. So Hillary's so called "big win" has netted her 13 delegates. I guess if you get your butt kicked for an entire month, you feel good about finally winning something.

Congratulations Hillary!

I am so happy you won my state of Texas. I look forward to voting for you in November.

Don't HOPE for a plan. Vote for a plan!

Clinton 2008!

I surely wouldn't want Hillary Clinton in the White House. All she will do is burn it down with her all an mighty I'm better than anybody else attitude. She needs to stay a housewife, although she can't do that right either, that's why Bill had an affair. I'm hoping Obama gets it, cause it's time for a change.

Cindy...I think you need to look at RI, etc. Hillary has won by over 10% elsewhere.

She's won all the big important states plus Ohio. NO president Republican or Democrat has EVER lost Ohio and won the presidency. Bye Bye Obama.

Oh yes, by the way, should hillary win which she mathematically really cannot -> i will not vote for Hillary. Consider this a vote for the republicans. I heard that 25% of the Hillary folks would not vote for Barack. Well, I am sure that %age is rising on the other side.

Get them rax returns out for us to see, instead of telling us you will (and hope that it's forgot about)
NO to another CLINTON in the WH

Winning 12 (small) states with anywhere from 22 to 64 delegates does not make you a winner Barack Obama.

Hillary R Clinton won all the big states from California to New York and others in which she had to share those delegates with Obama.

Sure it is the Democratic system but Obama still gained more from Clinton's winnings than she has gained from his!

I hope the Democratics make dramatic changes to their primary and change it to winner takes all. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY VOTERS THE REAL CITIZENS VOTES WILL TRULYt BE COUNTED.

Can someone please explain to me how Hillary Clinton gets the nomination without tearing the party apart? She cannot overcome the delegate lead, or the states won lead, or the popular vote lead. How then without a brokered backdoor deal. That is so Clinton like!

lets bring on the dirt, we need your tax returns and and your , great knowledge. I

Guess you can't buy an election in Texas either.

Obama spent 4 times as much as Hillary. 10 million and lost!!!

We are SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY THE VOTERS say HILLARY!!!!

I hope the results in Texas, Ohio and RI open the eyes of the people in the primary 's still to come. The best president will require the knowledge it takes to get things done. Hillary has 35 years of knowledge and experience, a lifetime for a lot of Americans. Also, on the issue of the super delegates! George Bush was not elected by popular vote in 2004, His presidency was stolen by the Republican party thru super delegates! Why is this an issue for a democratic nominee?

Thank God people voted with sense!!

Swedish people love Hillary Clinton!!! If the (country Sweden) ..Swedish people had to vote today...Hillary Clinton would be the next President. The Germans are not the only people in Europe.

You KNOW Hillary is the Best Candidate for President!!! and should be the President of the U.S.A!!!!

I support Obama but I will support Hillary if she wins the nomination. STOP FIGHTING WITHIN THE PARTY AND LETS UNITE!

I am amused by the terminology of "big" a 10% win in Ohio, and 3% in TX... These are nothing compared to the landslides Barack has won. All in all he won 12 states in a row before Hillary took any.... and all in all Obama is who be the next president. Go Obama.

To all the Obama Groupies:

You should feel shame for what you are setting this Country up for. People why not vote for me? I want CHANGE, I am a great motovational speaker and i can tell you anything you want to hear and never answer a question. Vote for me? I am your Future...I believe in Change....

SOUNDS STUPID NOW, how stupid will you feel, if you put him in office? You have the RIGHT to vote, use it wisely, my children will have to deal with the future and it looks glum for them if Obama gets into the White house.

I think the American political race is very exciting these days. I have to ask Hillary supporters though – Why is she not releasing her tax returns and the returns from her days as First Lady?

This is highly suspicious and she has done everything to get out of it. I think if she cannot disclose this information then it is perceived that she is hiding something. If she is hiding something then she cannot be trusted.

Are Americans going to vote for her because of her experience as a First Lady.....I mean...you can actually run on that experience?

Barbara Bush for 2012!!!!

Can we please have a national referendum to revoke the voting rights of citiznes of Ohio. They voted for Bush in 2000, they were the reason he was re-elected in '04 and now they're backing another vile, contemptible, corporate lap dog in Clinton.
"Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." – Friedrich Nietzsche

Barack Obama is the candidate to unify & move this country forward!!

If you think he's a great speaker now,
just imagine the Obama inaugural address in 2009.
If you think he's a great leader now,
just imagine his first 100 days in office.
I don't know about you all,
but I'm FIRED UP AND READY TO GO.

We knew this race was going to get interesting. Ain't nothin' new here.
It just means we have to work that much harder.

That's what hope is.

OBAMA 08

This has gone on long enough. When this race started, I liked both Hillary and Obama. Obama's people did a great job organizing in my home State of SC and I even volunteered for him. But the recent attacks by Clinton has left me feeling as if she is a scurilous opportunist who is not at all "presidential" and not at all deserving of the White House. She has, I feel, committed the ultimate sin: she has sided with Republicans in attacking a widely respected Democrat. And now Obama's inability to fight back (hamstrung by his own message of transformational politics) makes it look as if even democracy itself will not prevail in the Democratic Party. I am furious at her and disappointed in him. If she gets the nomination based on non-democratic means, I will never vote for the Democratic Party again. This needs to end now.

You made it and you deserve it.

Hillary could just enjoys her success, but then she has to put down other states as if only Ohio matters – as if where Ohio goes, the country goes. Can't she just stay on the positive for a change?

get real,shame is on her side.

Congratulation san Clinton on your win from your good friends in the Uk.

However., may i point out that THIS WINS ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT DELEGATE WISE. BUY THE TIME YOU WORK OUT THE DELEGATE DIFFERENCE WON ON THIS LATEST ELECTION; SUBTRACTION OBAMAS DELEGATE COUNT FROM THIS LATEST CAMPAIGN FROM THAT OF YOUR; U ONLY WON ABOUT 8- 13 MORE DELEGATE THAN YOUR OPONENT. THIS I CALL INSIGNIFICAT. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR OPONENT IS LEADING YOU IN THE OVERALL COUNT BY A LARGE MARGIN IN THE HUNDREDS. SO PLEASE THAT GET OVEREXCITED.

r

For the Hill',
AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH to keep her from reaching the highest office in the land–the White House! Ain't no obstacle, rhetoric, pundit, rumor, or media spin that can keep her down! People often say that a woman's place is in the home–cleaning and serving others. Well for Hillary Clinton, that home is the White House, and last night's big victories prove that America realizes she's ready to clean House and serve the American people ON DAY ONE! RB in PA

What the Obama biased media fails to point out is the will of Michigan and Florida who DID have a primary and in which Hillary Won! She has EARNED it by taking New York, Texas, California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Etc…. The Convention must honor the will of the States, not the 'cult-like' following of Obama…

It just shows if you put all your heart and soul into what you believe in, you will overcome all the obstacles and march toward victory!! The voters in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island have spoke, THEY LOVE YOU!!

Go, Hillary. Congratulations!!

CONGRATULATIONS, HILLARY!!!!! You go girl!!!!
CG in Texas!!
YES WE WILL!!!

let's talk delegates.

Obama 1542
Hillary 1447
I am sure after Obama starts bringing Hillary's skeletons out of the closet this will change drastically.

IT IS DELEGATES THAT DETERMINE WINS, NOT POPULAR VOTES!

For those who do not understand American political history,
American political system is a 'QUOTA SYSTEM'!

It means that the 'founding fathers' were astute enough to not allow mere popular votes to carry the day, so as to avoid domination of the 'small' by the 'large', as Clintons are would do should they have their way,..

And so, large states or small states, the number of US Senators, for example, is equal for each.

Way to go Hillary....let's keep this rolling!

Hillary maybe the REAL come-back kid among the Clinton's.She has proved once again that she has what it takes .Way to go Hillary !!!

Question for everybody – I asked this before....

What would happen if John Edwards came out in support of one of these candidates? Would that be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

People do your Obama MATH!, Hillary is'nt the only one short on delegates!!!!!!!

Go Hillary!!!! Thank you TEXAS, OHIO, and RHODE ISLAND for showing some sense! Yeah! Hillary 2008!

This is truly an historical election with a great deal on the line. Never has America needed such a strong leader (except perhaps during WWII when it was blessed to have FDR) as it does today. If you are looking for experience (which is a critical qualification), you have two choices, McCain or Clinton.

Don't be so quick to dismiss the prosperity the country experienced under Bill Clinton. How fickle Americans can be.

Hillary, keep up the good fight.

Boy you guys can be talked into anything with dramatic words.
you seem to believe spin whether from her or the media.

If people ever get smart they will realize HILLARY HAS NO REAL EXPERIENCE!!!!!

I'm happy for her, but if she is not the Democratic nominee, I will be just as happy with Obama as the nominee.

Kathryn Irby

I can't believe she had confetti!!! Obama not once made a big to-do after his 11 wins in a row. He did the opposite, he stressed the importance of moving forward and the difficulties we may face. I KNEW that the Clinton camp would take whatever wins she got today and blow them out of proportion. I'd say 12 out of the last 15 is much more worthy of a confetti moment than 3 out of the last 15.

How can intelligent people congratulate HRC? Oh yes, it's just as Obama said "the politics of fear and race baiting" is what unfortunately wins in this shamless country. Did she hire Carl Rove as her advisor...it certainly seems like it.

Go Hillary!

Congrats, I hope you get the nominee. But please dont choose Obama for VP.

When will CNN's love affair with Hillary end? She got a couple more delgates than Obama, she still trails him by a hefty margin - likely one that's insurmountable. She should bow out gracefully now.

Congadulations to Hillary on her big win. I too would love to see her and Obama on the same ticket. They would make a great team and I believe they would do great things for this country together.

The longer Clinton and Obama fight it out, the better for McCain. Go democrats!

BUYERS REMORSE. If Clinton takes it to the convention without anyone having the required pledge delegates and she has the momentum it demonstrates buyer's remorse. All she has to do is wait a few ballots and enough pledge delegates with buyer' s remorse will come over and poof she is the nominee.

BTW...

Hillary will not win the general election, once all her scandals start hitiing the air waves and news media, again..... it's a done deal!

A vote for Hillary is a vote for negative campaigning!

Hope she doesn't have anything in her closet she doesn't want known? Oh, that is right, Obama is staying focused on record not mudslinging...

Lucky Hillary!

Okay here is what I see yes Obama has more delagates than Hillary. But the actual American votes that are coming in from the voters.....
Hillary is ahead 13,108,890 votes to his 13,002,349. This is not counting the Washing primaries nor the texas caucuses. Even if you add what they have so far she is still ahead by 72,186. So when they decide who should get the nomine. Look to the American people not the deligates. Pick the one they want.

Congratulations Hillary and team Hillary!! America is going to be just fine now. Thank you so much my state of Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island! Thanks to you for pulling Hillary through!

I am tired of negative campaigning. If Clinton and Obama continue as they have in the past two weeks, I will switch my vote to McCain.

Clinton could only win Texas because of Republican's, who used open primaries and follow the advice of Republican radio host and voted for clinton to save her from defeat. Republican want desparatley that Clinton fight McCain in the general elections. That is the only chance for Republican's of winning the general election.

Dems have to be concerned that Obama hasn't won a big state outside of Illinois. Much of his lead comes from primaries and caucuses in states that go red in November.

Obama for President

Winners never cheat (staying positive ... Obama)
Cheaters never win (dirty politics...Clinton)

This is not rocket science. Hillary outpolled Obama 53-47'ish with the female vote. No surprise, as each candidate has their demographic strengths, etc. But the reason Hillary won in Texas is not in the percentages of how each group voted, but in how they turned out ! 57% of those who voted in the Democratic primary were women, and 43% men. On the Republican side it was the expected statistical representation of 51% men – 49 % women. It was worse in Ohio. Democratic women are going ot the polls. Democratic men are not. It is that simple !

Figures Ohio went for Clinton – the same state that gave us Bush in 2004!

Hillary is on her way towards the nomination now.Everyone loves a fighter and she proved that she is the best candidate to be commander in chief.
People on the Obama side need to know that she is the only one that can defeat John McCain.She is as tough as he,and can go toe to toe with him on the issue of national defense.
Democrats,unite behind Hillary so we can win in November.

I think for the obama camp it is still a win for them, because two weeks ago he never stand a chance in Texas and Ohio. He came away still with lots of delegates and still has the delegate lead.

Press on Obama!!!!!

I agree with you Renee from Va

"GO HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE"

Let's take it on home, Hillary!!

Don't count this woman out. She's a strong advocate for the American people! And wants to unite us all.

I have been on the front lines of this campaign. I have been ecstatic about large Democrat voter turnout.

What has shocked and disheartened me is that anger and divisiveness I have seen on the ground emitted from Obama supporters.

I am not trying to over-generalize. But it makes me wonder. . why doesn't this positivity and hope trickle downward?

I have been bullied and insulted for my staunch choice to vote for Hillary.

I'm sorry.. I READ and I know she can get the things done that she talks about. Because its not all talk! You've got to back it up.

GO HILLARY!!!!

Obama wins where it does not matter for Democrats. If Obama is the nominee the so-called Reagan democrats will go for McCain. No democrat can win without these democrats and the women voters.

Yes she won in the 3 states, but Texas was close and the caucus isn't decided yet. In my estimation Hillary didn't research the validity of the war, she just went with the senate flow and that's not who I want as my commander in chief..answering a 3am phone call. Her touting of 35 years of experience is inaccurate as well.. If I have no choice, in the end, I would vote for her over Mcain..but I am hoping Obama can see this thru and become our next president..

It's time to grow a brain Democratic party. The last thing we need in the Whitehouse is another Clinton. If Clinton gets the nomination, I will cross over and vote for McCain.

NO BORACK!

TOO MUCH BAD STUFF GOING ON IN HIS LIFE!

HE IS DISHONEST IN MY OPINION!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY FULL SPEED!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, we all are so proud of you! Keep working your way up to the nomination!
Hillary 2008!

All of a sudden Hillary is talking about momentum, guess it depends on who has it at the time. I think Barack should be president as he has the most delegates. And just to clear the record who does answer the phone at 3:00 in the morning at the white house, check the facts its not the president, I believe it is the switch board and then directed to an aide to determine if it is serious. I think this was a dirty ad, meant to put fear in the hearts of people, sounds like a Bush trick.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW THAT SENATOR CLINTON WILL TAKE THE NOMINATION!!!!!!!

I TRUST HER!!!!!!

YOU WON ALL THE STATES IT TAKES TO WIN!

I KNEW THAT IF YOU DID NOT GIVE UP, THAT YOU WOULD GET IT!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT FOR HILLARY! SHE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!

FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!!

NOW ALL WE NEED IS HILLARY'S DELEGATES FROM FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM WITH YOU SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Senator Clinton, we are very proud of you. Texas Loves You!

My New American Dream – Hillary stays in the race and takes Pennsylvania by a landslide, neither her or Barack has the votes needed to clinch the nomination. The Democtratic superdelegates forge a Clinton/Obama ticket @ the convention. John McCain fades now because he has no press cycle AND will not name a VP (which will be his undoing in the general election) he doesn't know yet if he will be against a Woman or an African-American. The Democrats win the general election and we have 16 years in the White House !!!!!!! Yeah Hillary !!

I am just astonished that Obama is letting Clinton get away with claiming Michigan and Florida as "victories". Frankly it says a lot about her character that she would call an election where hers was basically the only name on the ballot (michigan) a victory and he is missing an opportunity to illustrate what sort of person she is without going "below the belt".

Obama: "My opponent considers an election result acceptable when only her name was on the ballot – what does this tell us about her committment to democratic values?"

Her past is too shady to be President. Do some research people.

Frankly, I think you are looking at the next President of the United States of America!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, you are the best! You will win.

Oh how I wish more voters would do their homework! I do not dislike Obama but he is simply NOT ready to be President. I am from Illinois and I am here to tell you that he hasn't done very much of anything. Obama starting campaigning for the Presidency early in his Senate term and has not focused on much else. I believe that most Americans make an emotional decision when they vote (proof is the election of George W...TWICE!!!) instead of educated ones. Hillary is HANDS DOWN the BEST choice for this country. Sorry Obama. Maybe in 2016 you'll be ready. GO HILLARY!!

Yes Hillary wins, but at what cost? It is now time for Hillary to get over herself and stop trying to puch forward her own personal agenda. Wake up voters!! Research Peter Paul vs. Clinton and you will see that not only is she involved in one of the greatest campaign funding scandals in history, but she has been planning to run since Bill was in office. To her, it's not about America, it's about saying whatever is necessary to reach her own personal goals; even if it involves destroying the democratic party. If she's the nominee, I'll vote for Nader.

With all the talk of Pennsylvania being the next big democratic primary and how it favors Hillary, why is there no discussion of the NC/Indiana primaries that are shortly thereafter, that combine to be larger than Pennsylvania, are both states that the Democrats could take away from the Republicans, and both of which favor Obama???

. . . .This sounds like a child trying to talk another child out of his candy. Who needs her. After Senator Obama wins the rest of his delegates, I think that Senator
SAM NUN would make a superb running mate.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Well finally voters got it right. Although the upcoming races in Wyoming and Mississippi, will most definitely go to Obama, Those super delegates haven't all been swayed and when she wins Pennsylvania it may be enough to shift them to her side. Fight on Hillary, it can still be done, regardless of what the media continues to spew.

Hello, CNN - OBAMA is still winning this race, can't you count your own delegate count??

The union for vote Hillary in Ohio is stunning. Why bother having unions in this country if this is the kind of person you think is on your side? Mrs. Walmart does not care about you.

If Clinton has "turned a corner" I hope she turns another quickly and goes back to where she came from. It would be nice to have her around the Senate to actual take meetings and appear for important votes.

Hillary Clinton likes to compare her campaign to her husband's, well here's a reminder: Bill only won because Ross Perot ran both times and stripped enough way from the Republican. In case you haven't heard: both Ron Paul and Mike Bloomberg have said they will not run. That leaves nobody. She's cooked in the general.

You know, hate her or love her, you have to admire her strength and tenacity. My republican girlfriends has reluctantly admitted that they respect her. Even Karl Rove today reluctantly said he had to give her some credit.
I wish the Obama supporters would at least admit that they have to respect her as a strong fighting leader. You dont have to like her, but admit that she is a tough strong candidate.

Team Obama learned a very tough lesson last night, "YOU CAN'T PLAY NICE WITH HILLARY IF YOU WANT TO WIN!" Obama is too much of a gentleman and tends not to respond as tough as he should to Hillary's attack ads. Time to "man up!", Barack and start pulling out the stops about her tax returns, her Paul vs. Clinton trial, and everything you can get your hands on, including the "kitchen sink".

Go!! Hillary!!

I am extremely happy that Hillary Clinton won Ohio, Rhode Island, and
TEXAS, Yeah. She has finally started to come back and I have faith that she will beat Obama and win the nomination (Dem).
She truly desevered to win on tuesday.

Ha-Ha-Ha!!LOL!!WHOOAH!! (Rolling on the floor, then jumping up and down). YES!!!!Hillary!!Hillary!!!

Obama may lead in the delegate count but MORE Americans love and support Hillary (if you count Florida and Michigan, because regardless of delegates awarded, ALL votes must count !!!)

HILLARY CLINTON 2008!!!

Lets see what the caucaus in Texas says. No results on that yet. Secondly, she had to lead by 20% in texas and ohio to be equal in delegate counts. She did not do it. Gain momemtun? Did she gain momentum after NH? Hillary supporters need to really look at the numbers. I did my homework on the candidates. Take a look at the movie "Sicko". For a moment, listen to what connection there is between Hillary and the health care system in this country. Then DO YOUR RESEARCH. I bet that will cast some doubt in your mind about what Hillary considers her greatest accomplishment. Last minute voters chose her due to the negative ads against Obama. But just remember it might have worked on in Texas and Ohio, but it may not work in other states. Also, listen to her quote yesterday regarding McCain. She states that her and McCain have the most experience and Obama just made one speech. Maybe she should chose McCain as her running mate?

How she won Ohio talking about NAFTA is pure genius on her part. She made a mockery of the Ohio voters – - twisted NAFTA onto Obama. Good work Hillary – - You're ROVElike ways may help ya' just steal the nomination!!!

Sorry Ohio – - she didn't seem to mention NAFTA in Texas.

She didn't seem to mind NAFTA when she was championing for it.

STUPID, STUPID VOTERS

For the good of the Party, it is time for Hillary to step aside.

Brace yourselves....the Clintons have opened their bag of DIRTY TRICKS. The next 7 weeks are going to be NASTY because they have NO SCRUPLES and will stoop to anything to get what she thinks is
rightfully hers!!!! What a pitiful excuse for a woman.

Vote for Hillary Clinton: a candidate who doesn't secretly contact foreign governments!!! Clinton in NC!!!!!

How on earth can the media really spin this as a big win when she was ahead over 20 points two weeks ago. She got these wins by sheer smears and negative attacks.

This woman is trash. America's reputation overseas will not be enhanced by a Clinton white house. We remember the scandals.

Umm, those weren't "big" wins. Anyway, good for her, she proved that she can still win something, even if it means using fear tactics, gaming the media and smearing her opponent. Even when it's mathematically impossible for her to win. Of course the Clintons will steal back the white house if they have to. They will stop at nothing.

Obama will NEVER, EVER accept the VP under Bill/Hill. It would be political suicide. Don't believe the Clinton spin that he will, this is another lie.

Ohio & Texas – Finally people with common sense have moved away from the far left wing to the moderate center Hillary represents. She wins in states that will matter in General election. Obama has mainly won in states that will not go democratic in General Elections ( SC, LA, MI, etc..) Hopefully the republican Florida governer will do Hillary a favor and reschedule the Florida primary as he is suggesting. If so, It's Hillary nomination.

You Obama people their is still Mich. and Fl.
which will have a say no mater what Dean says.
they want to be counted like every one else.
they could go to court and fight the Demo. pary
if they want to.

I have to agree with Nick... Call me cynical, but it seems to me, too, that Clinton turned people against Obama rather than turned people on to her. She enhanced her position only through diminishing that of her opponent. We'll see if there is an overall negative effect come November, but the way this Democratic campaign has turned (I expect Obama will go increasingly negative now was well as Clinton keeping the mud flying since it seemed to work in the March 4 contests) certainly does not enhance the prospects for the party against McCain.

wow, it is amazing to see evil tatics prevail.
Now the media especial Morning Joe is saying Barak is not nasty enough.
WOW AMERICA...like obama said in his speech last nigth the world is watching...
(watching in the Bahamas)

Hillary, congrats to you!!! However, I'm surprised of your negativity. I remember you on the Michael Baisden's show saying that you would never go negative!!! What happened, did you get that desperate?

Hillary, the Other Republican!

she is still way behind in the delegate count and should drop out now.

no more bush's or clinton's in the white house.

'08AMA

Hillary won in Texas and Ohio because Rush Limbaugh told Republicans to vote for her and the press supported that. Rush wants this because Hillary cannot beat John McCain folks! McCain cannot beat Obama.

Barack will be the Democratic nominee and to think that people would think that he would accept the VP position should Hillary win the nomination (she will not) is absurd after all the dirty politics that she's flung on this decent man. What goes around, comes around Hillary.

Congratulations to Hillary and her Great Team! And a great thank you note to all voters of Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island.

This is a big win for you Hillary and now focus on not only big delegates cities but small one as well as they all count...

We all wish you a good luck and will do what were it takes for you to win!

Go Hillary

So proud of my Senator.

Hillary 2008!

Obama won the Texas Caucus, and Hillary can't beat McCain....Independents won't vote for her...

Now that they have the results for Texas and Ohio, why is the Clinton camp only focusing on Philladelphia and ignoring Wyoming and Mississippi, is Wyoming and Mississippi a part of the US

I beg to differ with you. HILLARY WON MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA. Obama ran ads in those states so he can't complain about them being counted. This is ridiculous to think that in the United States of America every vote is not counted. I guess the, Dean and Poluski run party, have got their knowledge from the Bush Administration. What a bunch of losers. They need to be voted out of office right along with KENNEDY the killer of pregnant Secretarys. HILLARY 08

Really? How are you guys not sick of Hillary yet? I hate Hillary and I hope she gets crushed in Pennsylvania. I am a democrat, but McCain will be getting my vote if she wins the democratic nomination.

Congratulations Hillary Clinton. Keep up the good work and as one of your supporters, I hope you become the nominee of the democratic party. There is a lot of stake in this elections and your agenda which is the reason for my support is good for America. I hope the voters in the states with their upcoming primary will support you as well.

Obama still leads in delegates and that is what counts in the primary elections. There is absolutely no way that Hillary can win the primaries without winning by huge margins. But knowing the Clintons, Hillary will be the nominee and she will not be able to put OBAMA on the ticket since He is not qualified to be President per Hillary's words. She has manipulated the voters and media by continuously moving the goal posts. She will not beat McCain and the democrats need to understand this point. She will only unite the Repulicans. She is disgusting and I'm a 53 year old white woman.

Honesty A Hillary/Obama Ticket is it for the Dems. otherwise they should go to sleep and forget the Presidency again. congrats Hillary

She has too many Skeletons in her closet and too much bad baggage and she keeps piling it on. Time for a real change.. but its obvious people cant break away from the same ole same ole tired routine.. they just want to keep digging their hole deeper and deeper by putting the same people who thru them into the hole to begin with. Change means someone fresh and new. Not the same record to play over and over and over.. are you people not tired of it yet? I bet you will in 4 years! She thinks she will be in for 2 terms? Her head is bigger than I thought it was!

YES! The delegates do count Obama supporters, so lets get MI and FL delegates seated, what are we waiting for? The people have spoken, or now will Obama go back on "the people's voice" as he did with NAFTA?

Hillary is tough and good for this country. Who cares about her personality. She will get the superdelegates in the end and Obama can go back to where he came from. I want him out period.

Hard to call it a "win" in Texas. Yes, she narrowly won the popular vote (conveniently forgetting that she was up some 20 points a few weeks ago) but after losing the caucuses (accounting for a split of 1/3 of the delegates) and with the crazy math for the delegates in the primary, she very probably will lose delegates in the Texas count.

This is about Senator Clinton’s implied second choice for President of the United States.

Post-Texas/Ohio morning, on CNN, Senator Clinton stated that only TWO of the remaining three candidates for President are fit to be Commander In Chief: Herself and Senator McCAIN, the REPUBLICAN nominee. This is a truly remarkable statement, almost beyond belief, since it implies the following:
1. If Clinton is NOT nominated as the DEMOCRATIC Candidate, then voters should elect McCain as the REPUBLICAN Commander In Chief, and therefore as PRESIDENT. Seems it must be either CLINTON’s way, or the OTHER PARTY’S way. Sounds like either Clinton must be the team’s goalkeeper, or, if she must sit on the bench, she’d prefer that the OPPOSING TEAM win! Difficult to see her devotion to the Democratic Party in this!!
2. Clinton is advocating that the troops in Iraq be withdrawn beginning in 60 days, while McCain is advocating that the troops be kept in Iraq indefinitely. So it seems that Clinton is saying it is important to bring the troops home if SHE brings them home, but it would be OK to leave them in Iraq if McCain kept them there. It seems strange that the LIVES of some of the soldiers serving in Iraq should be saved ONLY if Clinton wins. Does she want them brought home badly enough to let a possible President Obama bring them home?
3. By trying so determinedly to belittle the capabilities of Obama as a possible Commander In Chief, Clinton seems to be handing the Presidential debates on a platter to McCain, in the event that Obama should be the Democratic nominee. Is this what she really wants to do? Is this what the Democratic Party would stand for?

We are SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY THE VOTERS say HILLARY!!!!

Watch out everyone...I smell some REPUBLICAN votes here making the difference in Texas and creating a bigger margin in Ohio.

But what they don't see coming is the Dream Ticket that will be unstoppable. Hopefully w/Barack on top....

To all of you Obama-ites, Remember how quickly all those automatic delegates who have been LEANED on heavily to jump ship from Hillary to Obama, they WILL JUMP RIGHT BACK ON HER SIDE. As soon as they figure out (and quickly we should all hope) that he is the weeker candidate and cannot win against John McCain, they will go RIGHT BACK TO SUPPORTING HER. He is very inexperienced, 'rookie mistakes' that he made for HIMSELF on the Canadian issue cost him BIG!!!

If those superdelegates who have been so 'mesmerized' by Obama-mainia and not the real and tough issues that got behind 'super-dude' prematurely, want to SAVE FACE in the public eye(Kennedy) – they should be putting A LOT of pressure on Obama to conceed that he is not the strongest and BEST candidate for president and that he should take this opportunity (because that is what I see Mr. Obama as – an pure opportunist) to stay in this and 'pay his dues' the right way by first being VP and then running for Pres. in 8 yrs. Then and ONLY then will he have enough experience to win anything, because in the end it really is experience and not hope that will get him there. HE WILL NOT BEAT JOHN MCCAIN IN NOV.

ARE YOU LISTENING MR. OBAMA? This is your only opportunity. You must know that there are other "opportunists" (Edwards, Richardson) that will see her STRENGTH – and will jump on this NOW -supporting her in hopes that they are ASKED to be on the ticket with her as HER VP.

Hillary deserves it. She is super.

Now that the primaries are over, Hill, can we see your tax records just like you promised?
–Independent voter.

I think its time to add a ? with ur yes we call phrase,Obamites.Now it should be , Yes, we can ? But Hillary has showed once again that yes she will.Go Hillary u are and u will.

In response to the comment above Ohio and Texas didn't do any math because they would of asked where is her tax records it doesn't take that long to come up with your tax records or her husbands financial dealings with some of these large companies I think there is some real shady things happening behind doors at the Clinton campaign time will tell besides that Clinton she is an established candidate with a strong name I congratulate Obama for making it a close race only a few weeks ago he was double digit points down If he would of ran a complete negative campaign the past few weeks trust me he would have one .

Nick, correction...you say

PEOPLE DO NOT WANT CHANGE!

I would argue that the people of Ohio, Texas and RI do not want change, but clearly the people in the previous 12 Obama Victory states do want change.

Ohio and Texas are large states but our system has been cleverly designed to ensure an even distribution of delegates to prevent these few large states from eclipsing the smaller ones. Normally that is irrelevant in an election but I think we are seeing the most fair election of our lifetime because the candidates are forced to compaign in every state, in every town.

Regardless of preference, I don't believe the old adage about Ohio deciding the outcome will hold true this election...I think its about time it changes to "as the COUNTRY goes, so does the ELECTION"

I was really proud watching Barack Obama give his speech. The truth is, he doesn't have to do anything like what Senator Clinton is doing in order to win the nomination. He's got integrity in spades, and she's just lacking.

As long as he remains dignified and runs a campaign that his supporters can be proud of, everything will be okay. I would hate for Clinton's standards of integrity to rub off on him or more likely on his staff.

For those people working for Senator Obama: Please don't stoop to Hillary's level. Continue to make us proud. Maintain integrity. If you make a mistake, just admit it and we'll keep on moving with you. Not being able to admit a mistake is what GWB and Hilllary Clinton are most famous for. Let them "do them" and we'll continue to change the world one believer at a time.

Obama will not win a campaign built around negative attacks because the people that like him and believe in his candidacy believe in his ability to be different and truthful. All he has to do is continue to inspire us to be the people that we know we are.

Don't waste time getting into specifics in speeches either — if people are serious about understanding policies, they can EASILY read them. the details are too cumbersome to deal with on a stage.

God Bless America,

The world is watching.

This race is far from over!!!! For those of you who do not understand-- " Yes we can" means there is a possibility that you might do something "Yes we will means" that it is going to get done. As far as a Clinton-Obama ticket how about a Clinton-Edwards ticket.

I will never vote for Hillary Clinton; and I'm a democrat. You Hillary supporters do not recognize the deep vitriol that the conservatives have for her. Some of it is justified, but mainly it's just a deep-seated hatred for her. Even now, the conservatives gleefully unite and plot strategies for her defeat; if she is the nominee. Of course, they want her to win. They're a little afraid of Obama, however; that they cannot easily defeat him, it seems. For me, I just think she has proved that she is indeed a consummate politician but without the charisma her husband has.

It's three am and the White House phone is ringing.

It's Karl Rove laughing with George W. Bush that their campaign approach of smear tactics and unfounded character defamation still works!

Arrgghhhh!

Congrats to Hillary. She is a fighter. When all the pundits were saying that she needs to drop out of the race, she kept fighting. Her supporters kept believing in her and she pulled it out. She had no reason to drop out of the race. The people should be the ones to decided between Sen Clinton or Sen Obama; not pundits. And yes it's true that she is still behind in delegates, but she has won the big states. Sen Obama has won the red states in the primary; do you actually think he is going to carry those same red states in Nov? I don't.

question; What percentage of Hillarys victories in Ohio and Texas were registered republican voters?

How in the heck do you ask a candidate to be on the same ticket with you when you just a day ago state that their entire career added up to nonthing but a speech? I am sorry but I think that comment was the nail in the coffin for that prospect ever taking place. She said words does not matter, well I know she wish she could take those back today.

Hillary did not win big in Ohio or Texas, and I object that the media is saying she did. Why don't they also factor in the comment of Rush Limbaugh of his urging his conservatives to vote for Hillary–that may have been the difference especially in Texas. Hillary comments that no presidential election has been won without Ohio–maybe she needs to be reminded that McCain also won Ohio last night!

As for a Dream ticket with her at the top–I hope that Obama will not stoop so low as to play second fiddle to her, not even for the Democratic Party, He is too fine an individaul to take second place to anyone, especially Hillary Clinton!

1st Texas was hardly a big win for Hillary.

2nd – who cares who wins Texas...they will lose to McCain anyway. And for that matter who cares who wins California and New York too....no matter who it is the Democrat will win their states.
HIllary is playing a Jedi mind trick on us saying she is a "big state" winner.

WAY TO GO HILLARY!!! PROUD TEXAN VOTER HERE.

Now, don't tear the party apart. ..

BOTH OF YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE.

We want a Clinton/Obama ticket....not 4 more years of McBush. Every Repug on here with not like this idea of course.

Can you spell L-A-N-D-S-L-I-D-E?

YES WE WILL !
Go Hillary !!!
Hillary '08

If you vote for a president based on personality then you are not voting for the right reasons. Voting for Obama because he seems like a "nice" person and not voting for Clinton because she seems like a "sour" person is ridiculous.

At this point in time for America the last thing we need is a "nice" person running things. Take a good long look at the state of our country and remember most people voted for Bush based on his "Good 'ol boy" mentality. Really think about it... Take a step back and really think about why you are voting and what that person can do for you not in 1 year, but in 3 or 4. That is when all of this is really going to matter.

Barack Obama still should be excited about his results. He still has the lead in delegates and he will continue to gain more and more momentum as he goes on. I think he still will win the democratic nomination.

I don't understand why we need delegates. But for now, let's let Hillary savor the win, because no matter how you cut it the people voted for her in OH and TX.

It's too soon to talk about the VP; we haven't picked our nominee yet. I want new fresh ideas but I am concerned that Obama doesn't have the experience needed for this job. It's too important to have on the job training especially with the world as topsy turvy as it is right now.

Democrats who made up their mind in the last three days went to Clinton in both TX and OH. That's VERY bad news for Obama. It means that people that have not become intoxicated by his rhetoric and have actually looked long and hard at the candidates aren't supporting him.

It spells trouble down the road for Obama and gives Clinton hope.

I have done my best to convince Democratic and Independent friends who say that there is nothing that Mrs. Clinton can do or say that will make any difference to their determination not to vote for her in November.

After seeing the Karl Rove tactics employed by her campaign in the last week, I have decided that I have been wrong. She is no better than the Republicans she has chosen to emulate. Judging form several conversations I have overheard this morning, I am far from alone in reaching this conclusion. I am disgusted.

I think its so sad that most of the exit polls show people still base their votes partially on race. Very dissapointing.....

Hillary was the big winner last night and quite deservedly. I think that Americans are FINALLY (what took them so long?) opening their eyes to Obama's lack of foreign policy experience. If you want to get an idea of what an Obama presidency would be like in that regard just read Michael Gerson's column "Obama's First 100 Days" in today's Washington Post. You will either laugh or cry, and for those still walking around in the Obama trance, it might wake you up!

Obama has been carrying on as if he already had the nomination for weeks now. I think the message is clear - not so fast! He showed poor judgement in responding (or not responding) to attacks. Didn't think the media would "bite" on the questions raised about him? Cutting a press conference short so he can get away from reporters and their pesky questions about Rezko and the NAFTA meeting with the Canadians? Bush league stuff.

He's got a long way to go before he's ready for national scrutiny at the top of the ticket. The veep spot would give him time to work into the top job. I think he can do better with more seasoning. After all, if Clinton and the media are being mean to him now, he'll fold under the intense barrage he would get next fall.

Hillary is has not won yet, this is only the beginning and a Hillary/Obama ticket, I do not see. She has caused to much division. He is the front runner.

OBAMA 08

8 more weeks of Hillary its like winter all over again For every day that the democrats fight the republicans become stronger . There laughing at the Democrats right now I believe they should come to a conclusion because when all the democratic fighting is over, the Super Delegates are going to go with the voice of the people Hillary is only delaying the inevitable

As an Obama supporter, I had started feeling sorry for Hillary this past week. Resorting to fear tactics, distorted characterizations of meetings, and relying on a flailing skit comedy show to cry foul after Ms.Inevitable had to actually face scrutiny. But the fact that it worked...the fact that people bought it....reminds me so much of the sickness I felt when Bush won a second term that I have only been further resolved to make sure that the next time this woman sees the White House, it will be on a postcard from Obama.

She is not the only one who owns kitchen sinks.

It makes me very happy to see this shift. Every time I've asked an Obama supporter why they are voting for him they say it is because he represents change but they cannot cite anything he has done. It is time people actually started making informed decisions like these. I like both candidates and am tired of all the anti-Clinton comments. Both campaigns have run negative ads against the other. End of story. I would like to see a Clinton/Obama ticket or a Clinton/Edwards ticket. I think he was perhaps the most qualified but not controversial or exciting enough to make it this far in the game.

All of the political analysts I've heard so far have indicated they believe the turn in the Clinton campaign came from the red telephone ads. After watching election news frequently over the past week, I can only say that if I had been voting in any of yesterday's primaries, I would have changed my vote from Obama to Clinton because of the Canadian issue. Maybe Senator Obama is not as upright and honorable as he seems - maybe he is. We just need to keep this two-person contest going long enough to be able to make a better informed decision.

Scoreboard Obama. Nothing has changed.

Nick, Rochester, NY said:
One can draw two conclusions that go against conventional wisdom:

First, despite what people profess, PEOPLE ARE INFLUENCED BY NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ADs!
That is why politicians have spent millions on negative ads and will do so again in the Fall.

Second, despite what people profess, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT CHANGE! That' why they crowd the center away from Barack's New Left and moveon.org and away from the evangelicals on the Right.

Actually there is another obvious conclusion one can draw:

People have actually started trying to figure out what Obama has done (besides talk) and what he will do if he goes one-on-one with McCain (besides whine) and what he will do if he is - God forbid - elected POTUS (besides bring in a VP ala Cheney who knows what the heck is going on!)

Vote with your head people!
Vote Hillary Clinton 2008

Anyone think Republicans came out for Hillary like Rush Lowball told them to???

Its interesting that Obama won (is winning) the caucus by such a margin. I know people will say Hillary doesn't do well in Caucuses, but that is a bunch of crap, she doesn't do well in Primaries either, people do not like her.

I think Democrats have been railroaded into a situation Republicans could not have wished better, and I think many of them are the culprits.

Shame on you Republicans if you have to resort to such cheap tricks because your candidate sucks so badly, maybe you should start thinking wether you want Hillary or Obama in office, because it definately won't be McCain

Proud to be part of Hillary's come back. Caucas is mess now I know how Obama win all those caucus .There are many Obama bully's /No paper/ not even a calculator. Election worker doesn't know the process it was a nightmare for me.

They will have to count Florida. Howard Dean's rules are unbalance and unfair. All they had to do was to count the votes but not reveal the outcome until the approriate date, instead he decided to punish 1,700,000 people who had nothing to do with the decision to hold early primaries. Now count them in and let Michigan start over.

Do we really want someone who, while living at the White House with Bill, clearly showed her disdain for anyone in military uniform by having them "hide" when she was walking in a corridor of the White House?

And do we really want someone whose campaign uses "fear tactics", i.e., "It's 3 a.m., your children are sleeping in the beds....who do you want to answer the phone"?!?!?

I think the negative impact of Clinton's ads are a serious turn off for me as someone who would vote for her. It only shows that we need a candidate like Obama more than ever - because he's not willing to play the same cynical "smear the opponent" games that have been tragically detrimental to American politics for years. As it stands, he is leading in terms of the delegates and continues to connect with a wide variety of American voters. Hillary didn't make the significant inroads she crucially needed in Texas. Obama will push towards turning the country around at a more fundamental level. Let's keep those superdelegates pouring in. Way to go Obama!

Yes, Congrats. You successfully maintained your leads in both Ohio and Texas by whining, complaining, crying, manipulating, and slinging mud. All important qualities for a Commander in Chief to have. And who knew that being the wife of a president, some how, translates into actual experience....granted, so long as you can claim the successes and deny the failures of said husband's presidency, right?

Barack's momentum was overwhelming. I think people are not realizing that he is just not prepared to be the President. I think under Hillary's wing as VP would be a dream scenario for the United States and the rest of the world. We could have two of the greatest presidents ever to be in the White House for the next 16 years. 8 years would give him plenty of time to see how to turn his big dreams and ideas into ACTUAL change that will benefit the country. Wake up America, HE IS NOT READY!

This is just great. Even with Obama adverstising 3 to 1 in all these states Hillary won, it is increadible how a fighter this Woman is. I am so proud of Her. I just donated another $100.00 to her campaign, she deserve it.

What happened to your votes in the last three states..Oh Poor Obama supporters..Wow you are so confused

oh and it irratating when u ony care about the big states. that divided the party and the nation.
OBAMA 08

The American people are seeking a post-partisan future, where the welfare of the country is served rather than party affiliation. That's why John McCain will win.

Texas, Ohio, California, New York, Florida..... BIG states that Hillary won. She is the candidate who can compete with John McCain in these huge electoral states come November. Obama has won many caucuses and we can see by the mess in Texas last night how confusing those are. Obama has won caucuses and he's also lucky Florida has not been counted (even though is name was on the ballot there). Hillary has won the big state primaries. She is the true Democrat favorite.

to me she didnt even win. a win for her was winning by a large margin. there was like a 2% diffrence in texas. i think if she hadnt done that intense negative campaginging like a republican right before the primary she would of lost. THIS IS WHAT THE THIRD TIME SHE HAS DONE THIS< fake tears,, plagerism,, rezko, canada.. she is desperate.

I hope for and would love to see an endorcement from "John Edwards" for " Hillary" SOON.
I challenge all others who feels the same.

" CLINTON" FOR PRESIDENT 2008 – 2016

I hope she loses from this point on. she does deserve to be commander in chief. Obama needs to come out swinging. I do not like her and she will never get my support. I will not vote atthe general election if she is the nominee. OBAMA 08

YES WE WILL!!!

CONGRATS HILLARY! AMERICA LOVES YOU!!!

VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY
VOTE HILLARY

Question: If for some reason Oboma wins the general election.....will they want to paint the Whitehouse a different color?

If Obama cant take the heat, he needs to get out.
The MSM is just getting started in the vetting of Obama, and you may not like what you see as the Rezko issue plays out.

GOD BLESSED AMERICA
WITH AMERICAN WOMEN LIKE HILLARY CLINTON

I'm VERY tired of Obama Stretching the truth.

Senator Clinton NEVER said she had to win in Ohio and Texas.

Former President Bill Clinton said she had to win. He believed if she won Ohio and Texas she would become the Presidential nominee. He did NOT say she had to win Decisively....Mr. Obama did.

Those are his stretched worded version of the truth. Too bad CNN did not call him on it.

Mr. Obama has NOT won a big state that is critical to the Presidential Election, other than his own. Mr. Obama and his campaign BLATANTLY disenfranchised the voters in Michigan and Florida. That again, was NOT a smart move from his campaign. Instead, he wanted to have the vote again as Caucases...so he would have the advantage over Clinton.

This is a DEAD HEAT STILL and will be either decided by the Superdelegates, or the DNC will somehow put Florida and Michigan delegates back in...or it will be a JOINT ticket.

This is going to be a fight to the end. It's just too early to call on either side- but Obama won the caucas in Texas and he presently had the lead in delegates. it all boils down to the delegates.

Hillary has won all the states that count so far. Take a look at the states that Obama has won. Most of them would not swing democratic in the general election. So big deal, he has won in Republican states. It just goes to show that more psycotic behaviour occurs in republican states than anywhere else.

Unfortunately for Hillary, this race is already over, it has been for weeks. She needed to win Texas and Ohio by big margins to still be competetive, but she didn't. There simply aren't enough delegates left to win to overtake Obama. This nomination is over; it is as real as the Republican nomination being over a few weeks ago, it just isn't as obvious.

Obama will be the nominee. Hillary at this point needs to do what is good for the party and drop out, not what is good for her personal ambition and ego.

I would like Clinton to know that Ohio is not the only state in the union and that the win last night was NOT THAT BIG!!

Thank you Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. Hillary has won the big states that usually vote Blue. Obama has won Red states, that usually vote Republician. Tell me who stands the best chance to win the general election? You cannot win without at least two of the big states in your back pocket, period. The super delegates know that better then anyone. This is going to be a bumpy ride all the way to Denver. I love the way Obama first said the popular vote should matter, now it's the delegates. HUMMMMMM

UGGGGGG I want her to go away. Climb back under the rock from whince you came. I am tired of her voice and face. I do not want to see her on my TV for any amount of years.

I am surprised at how the caucus was split last night and Texas. All the oldies were for Hillary and all the younger ones for Obama, well except for a couple of educated oldies that came to Baracks side.

My big surprise was the uneducated vote for Hillary. Now, I'm not saying that all of them were uneducated, but there was a HUGE difference. Especially in the uneducated Latinos.

Just thought it was inteesting. Good showing for both sides though. We were tied neck and neck in our precinct and we had to flip a coin for the extra delegate, which went to Hillary's side. Yep, you heard right, FLIP A COIN! Apparently no half delegates to make things democratic. It was a very interesting night.

I see a very long interesrting race with hillary being the nominee as she has won all the big states except illinois which is obama home state. Onama has won a majority of red states that will vote republican in the fall. interesting race.

SHE DIDN"T WIN BIG. With the upcoming primaries, the Latino vote would not be as big.....( except PR ). We'll see how she does.

Obama/Clinton 08

I find it funny that Hillary thinks she has any better chance now, that she did before Ohio and Texas. Hillary is still behind, and there are not enough delegates left for either one to win the magic number. Lets look at what will happen. Hillary will cry to get Florida and Michigan admitted. It will be denied. She will cry, Obama will end up with the nomination, and he will see defeat at McCains hands in November.

Thank you Texas and Ohio for putting another Republican in office!!!!!!

I believe both candidates have the same message and America is sure it wants a change in leadership. Seems to me it would be a smart move to unite the country and move forward.

Wow, I am so tired of hearing about the red phone ad and how that swayed so many voters to Clinton over the past 3 days. What red phone ad ? I never saw it, I chose Clinton just hours before voting yesterday and it was based on my current understanding of Clinton and Obama's current stance on issues I am interested in: Social Security, the Environment and the Economy!

My congratulation to Sen. Hillary Clinton on her big win yesterday.
Even though I'm Canadian were pulling for herithout being against Sen Barack Obama. I think the U.S. of A is in deep trouble and need some experience as Chief Commander.
I do hope the dream ticket become a fact.
The American or the world for that matter don't need an other Bush in Sen. McCain, with all due respect for his devotion to the states and in service in the war.
If the Dream Team is not posssible I would love to see former Sen John Edwards being on the ticket as V.P..
Good luck and God Bless America...

Texas, you've made us all proud!!! All three states made us proud. A Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama combination would be formidable, and with both their energies aimed toward the other party candidate - well that's the ticket (as they say.)

Do Hillary supporters really believe that California will go Red with Obama, or New York? And the last I checked WI, IL, GA, MO, SC, VA so on & so on.... are big states as well. You can not pick and choose and you can not fuzzy math your way into a lead. If she manages the nomination she will not get my vote. IRAQ!!!! I have had friends and relatives come home wounded and one very dear friend was killed. She voted for that. She agreed with that. His blood is on her hands.

Glad to see Hillary got a big part of her demographic back. The dried up old spinster vote (Hi Charlotte).

I have a feeling we won't be hearing about 'biased' media coverage against her for awhile now, thank goodness.

I will support such a ticket. Clinton first 8 years will be tough. Then we see bright light again. After 8 years, Obama a little over 50 with good experience then. It gurrentees he will have another 8 years. American makes history with both woman and African American to be presidents.

Congrats !! HIllary ..you have finally proven parrot (who agrees whatever she says in every debate) like Obama. can't go any far...

We'll see if Clinton closes the delegate gap some, or whether Obama opens the gap further. If Obama opens up his lead, Clinton needs to seriously look at what is best for the party, not just her campaign. The two are not the same thing.

Wait, Texas is going to vote for Hillary over McCain in November?

way to go Hillary!! That's my gal!:)

YES SHE WILL!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!

I love you Hillary, but this wasn't enough to get back in the race. I still have hope for an Obama-Clinton ticket! Make history twice.

I am so pleased at the good sense Texas and Ohio voters showed in their primaries. Hillary is by far the best candidate. Though her exemplary record already says volumes on her competence, her push past a wildly biased media to reclaim the nomination (fingers crossed) is most telling. She's the only one with the determination and fight to be a real president. A nice opposite to the dithering moron that's been in power the past 8 years. Good going, guys!

This woman really makes me ill. Her, and all the people who voted for her. I can't understand how anybody who spends 10 minutes reading her history (IF they didn't already live through it) can vote for her. Her history is just scandal after scandal.

I am in PA, and she is NOT getting my vote. I am also a computer professional who has lost his job to outsourcing, which she and Bill Clinton are HUGE proponents of. I will never forgive him for expanding H1, and her for the TATA deal.

Is a "win" derived through manipulation of ignorance and fear really a win? Or is it a tragic loss for intelligence and reason?

Is four more years of fear mongering really the leadership America needs right now?

If my wife comes to and observes my gig, it does not make her a guitar player, so how does being First Lady give Hillary "Presidential" experience?

Wake up America, avoid candidates that galvanize their support by manipulating your worst fears and anxieties, support candidates that speak the truth, appeal to your sense of reason, and offer legitimate hope for real change.

Its 3 AM, your children are asleep, hopefully the courage of your convictions are not..

It is so disappointing to see that playing dirty, telling lies about your opponent, and covering up the truth about yourself can win votes. Her ugly politics only hands the election to John McCain. She is dividing the Democratic Party right in two. The more negative she goes, the farther away the Obama supporters move from her. If she is the nominee, Ralph Nader gets my vote!

Congratulations Texas and Ohio, you let negativity and fear-mongering steal your vote.

I'm disgusted.

well, congratulations hillary. you've succeeded at your goal of further dividing the democratic party, and not with your skills or much boasted experience, but with your negative campaigning that would be enough to make a republican proud. and of course, when you're ahead in the delegate count, its all about the numbers, but now that you've lost your hold on the lead, suddenly your campaign tells us to ignore the numbers that are favoring your opponent. a mccain vs. clinton general election scares me because it has the potential to be a very dirty race, as we've seen with hillary's success in that department, i doubt she'll stop the slinging it any time soon. i would love to vote democrat in the GE despite the democratic victor, but hillary, please stop all the negative campaigning because you're making it very hard for me to stand behind someone who so desparately wants to kill the movement the young generation has found in barack obama. this race should be about the issues, the qualifications and the much needed victory of the democratic party. stop clouding these important voter concerns with your devisive and manipulative campaigning.

i want Mrs. Hillary Clinton will win this election the reason is that she is intellegent, experience senator compare to Mr. Obama , she was elected twice as senator while Obama only once meaning she has the capability to run USA and she was 8 years first lady i hope and pray to our ALMIGHTY GOD that she will win this election so that there would be peace on earth. thank you & GOD BLESS YOU......

It's 3:00 a.m. and the phone rings.....Hillary starts crying and then
she says why do I have to get the first phone call everytime there's a
crisis?

Hillary,

I am so proud of you. With having so many losses prior to these wins, many would have given up and dropped out. You have such grit and stamina. I placed calls for you for the past three weekends in TX and I am hopeful this was helpful!! Thank you for staying the course!! You are a role model to me who has often been down and thought I couldn't get up!! You gave a wonderful speech last night! I am thrilled for you.

I heard such wonderful stories during my phone calls. One of them said her entire church was praying for you at their service on Sunday. She said she planned to take a car load of people to the primaries in TX. I really got charged up! Ya Hoo

Jan

Obama might be winning the delegate votes, but Clinton is winning the popular votes. The popular vote is more important because it is the will of how the democrats are voting. Super delegates should give their vote to the candidate who wins the popular votes. That would be the best way to determine our democratic nominee. Let the will of the people decide from here to June. At the end of the day, the one with the most popular votes should be our nominee. Don't make it so complicated DNC!
REMEMBER SUPER DELEGATES FOLLOW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE! (POPULAR VOTES)

Thanks to voters in Ohio; Texas and Rhode Island.

GO HILLARY 2008

As long as the media gives her a fair deal she will continue to win state after state. Obama is an open book and the media needs to inform us about any and everything, both positive and negative. Why is CNN so afraid to investigate anyone Black? Even when John King is running his map of counties he never just comes out and states the fact, the counties where Obama is winning are the Black counties. I don't think the Black community should be handled like an egg. Just state the facts, Obama's vote comes from our youth and our Black community. Nothing racist at all.

FIGHT TEXAS..FIGHT FOR HILLARY

FIGHT TEXAS..FIGHT FOR HILLARY!!

PENN You are up next and will win for her again!

I certainly wouldn't consider Clinton's win Big! In my opinion, to win BIG means that the GAP would or should have been huge and as it is, it was so narrow she barely squeeked by! I don't see this as a threat to the Obama campaign at this stage of the game. What I really am sick and tired of is her negativity .. that makes her look so UGLY and yes ... that did affect my vote! I am not impressed with her "experience" care inasmuch as Bill had NO experience when he entered office either! This race is far from over.

It SUCKS. HILLARY, HOW CAN YOU LIVE AFTER CHEATING. WITHOUT BILL CLINTON NOBODY WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR YOU. NOW WHAT, BILL CANT COME INSIDE YOUR OVAL OFFICE AND TAKE DECISIONS FOR YOU. THAT IS WHY LET OBAMA TAKE THE OFFICE.

I wonder if Rush is having a good laugh today. The soap opera continues.

All the news networks post Clinton won Texas. The fact is Obama got more delegates. It's like a news cast saying that New York Giants beat Chicago Bears because they got more touch downs, but did not count the field goals. The NFL determines who win by the total score. Obama got more delegates and DNC will seat more Obama delegates from Texas than Clinton. It's clear that Obama won Texas. It's same thing with Nevada. Obama won Nevada. Last night was a split.

Obama has said in the past that he would be open to a joint ticket – during debates and during interviews. This is the first time I've ever seen Hillary say that she would be open to a joint ticket – and I'm very surprised that CNN would say that it was the other way around.

Obama has kept a very cordial, polite demeanor – and Hillary has repeatedly been very aggressive toward Obama and his supporters. It's really insulting to see how the media bends toward her every whim.

Go Hillary! Go girl!!!
Now things finally got back on THE RIGHT track!
I am sure American people will realize what a big mistake to give even a chance to Borat, excuse me, Barack in this race. See, even my Safari automatic spellcheck underline his name as WRONG!

Go Hillary! We will make it trough! Justice is on our side!

Post script to above: Counting Mississippi and Wyoming, there are 747 delegates outstanding ( I do not know if this includes the super delegates)and several are very rich in Delegates, Pennsylvania 188,Indiana 84, North Carolina 134,West Virginia 39 Kentucky 60, Oregon 65 and Puerto Rico 63, plus the other smaller number states. Good sized wins in several of these states would return her to the lead in delegate, plus there are still the uncommitted super delegates. Hillary wins the general election by carrying the normal blue states, plus Florida and Ohio . Plus she will win Arkansas, Tenn. and West Virginia. Game over!

HILL-tops in Pennsylvania!

WE are ready to vote her in!

Reading Pa!

How can she have won when she is still down in delegates by about 100? Nice try Hillary, haha, nice try indeed.

This is a huge victory for Hillary Clinton, regardless of how Obamarama tries to denigrade it. Personally, I had the feeling that the Obama "momentum" was slipping, as folks realized more and more that it takes more than a "popularity contest" fueled by celebrities and a biased media. They've been trying to hear anything of substance from him - and they just haven't. All he's done is piggyback off Hillary's issues-oriented statements, then add some blah-blah nuance to them to "differentiate" himself. For goodness' sake - he even did that with her ad - GEEZ! In the meantime, Hillary Clinton keeps her head up, smiles, works her backside off, and simply racks up the biggest states in the country! I'm thrilled - I just knew the people would eventually wise up.

GOOD JOB, HILLARY!!!

Regardless of her wins in Texas and Ohio, Hillary Clinton remains a transactional candidate, long on policy but short on inspiration. Competence in an administration can be acheived through careful cabinet and appointment selections – witness the Kennedy administration of 1961.

I believe that Americans are looking for an inspirational leader to uplift their spirits, in the way that Ronald Reagan pushed aside the gloom of the Carter years. Should that be the case, then Obama should become the Democratic nominee and would likely beat John McCain, another candidate espousing competence above all.

She's way behind in delegates, and has no more firewalls (as she calls it) enjoy the day Clintonites, but in the end its all for nothing.

I just hope she doen't get as nasty as she was in the past few weeks, but then again, she's a Clinton.

Go Hillary!!! You win the big states to carry in Nov. You should be the nominee. Barack for VP!!!!!
Great win and shift of momentum!!!!
Thank you TEXAS and OHIO for speaking up and doing your homework before you go to the polls!!

way to go TX, OH RI....imbeciles. if it swings to the Illuminati princess then I will have to consider McCain or Nader. she really didn't make up much ground, though. makes PA more important.

Congrats Hillary!!!! Obama Still leads in delegates, but Hillary has gained some momentum...

Obama's camp is hard @ work I'm sure....Let's Go Obama!!!!

Good job Hillary you are a fighter...I love the way its going...I am so happy to be apart of a major moment in History...

This race will be talked about until my kids have kids, and I don't have any kids yet....lol....I love Politics!!!!

I thought I would be upset if Obama came in second in Texas or Ohio and at first I was disappointed but then I realized this morning that nothing really changed. He is still ahead in delegates and states. Hillary has finally got her momentum going....the same sort of momentum she made fun of Obama supporters for demonstrating. But that is something Obama has as well. What she needed was a huge win in Texas and she just didn't get it. Too often people in politics and in the media think that saying so makes it so. A week ago success for Obama would be to keep her from getting double digits in Texas....and he did. I feel pretty good. That was her strong hold. That was her last place to take him down...and she just couldnt pull it off. A close race in Texas speaks volumns for Obama.

THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY ALL OF THE NEGATIVITY THAT HILLARY HAS PUT OUT THERE. IT'S SAD TO SEE HOW FOLKS LET FEAR GET THE BEST OF THEM. IF HILLARY IS THE NOMINEE McCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

OBAMA '08

However, it seems as though Obama will "win" the delegates. Delegates are what matters, so didn't Barack "win". His lead will not only hold, but he will net delegates after the caucus results.

There was a big wind storm on Long Island last night, I wonder if it was the air going out of some of those predictions of Hillary's demise?? What do you think Mr. Cafferty??

Hillary will win the nominee!! She has won ALL THE MAJOR STATES including MI & FL and the delegates will be counted! That puts her ahead in "pledged" delegates. And I wish the media will state the facts of so called "pledged" delegates the only ones that are firm are the ones from primary states. CAUCUS STATES are NOT PLEDGED! I am from a caucus state, I was a county delegate we had our convention a few weeks ago, and we VOTED FOR WHO EVER WE WERE NOT PLEDGED, (SECRET VOTE) Hillary gained 10% of delegates, which again I am now a STATE DELEGATE, and will go to STATE CONVENTION IN MAY, I will AGAIN VOTE SECRETELY, of course for Hillary, and only after that convention WILL THE DELEGATES BE PLEDGED!!!

Hmm...awfully quiet in the forums today. Did we finally shut up the Obamamites?

Congrats to Team Hillary! And thank you voters of Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island. Let's let everyone have their say, and their votes! Keep it going!

Go Hillary!

You know it makes me so mad to see that the election is only gear to the big states. What happen?! The people of the small states don't count. Give me a break. He won 11 states and the people from abroad. They don't count!!! Hillary and Bill should stay away from the White House. They will sink this ship. The dream that they will bring back or create jobs for those in Ohio and fix immigration for the latinos is all false. Once in, they will forget about all of you.

Congratulations to Senator Clinton. Let's hope for now that both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama will run a campaign that is free of innuendos, the lies that looks like a truth and misrepresentation of the facts. Hopefully the remainder of the campaign will be run with dignity and grace. The entire worlds is watching this race and please give the world hope that America is indeed the Unites States of America.
God Bless America.

The fate of this democratic contest has yet to be determined, but thank God, finally a Hillary victory can stop this biased press............everyone has been pressuring her to pull out, waiting to hammer her nail in the coffin....................after month's of their fawning Obama drool and overly anti-Clinton coverage, it took a Saturday Night Live skit for CNN to look at themselves and think that just maybe they were giving Obama kid-glove treatment and favorable coverage.............gee, how insightful.......

Sure is quiet out there in zombama land this morning!!!

Hillary, people listen to you, not to Obama's fancy speeches. Actions speak louder than words. Go Hillary!

Yes, she will!

Well, Obama should take a page out of the Clinton handbook....time for the Peter Pan fraud court case that involves the Clintons to become front page news much like the Rezko affair.

I will never vote for Clinton. Barack Obama has conducted himself and his campaign with sincerity, integrity, intelligence, honor and grace. He showed that again in his remarks last night.

It's a shame that large numbers of people in our country continue to fall for the kind of dirty politics Clinton's campaign relies upon.

If my fellow democrats aren't smart enough to reject this kind of politicking, then we don't deserve to take back the White House in November.

Congrats Hillary on your wins no matter how you went about getting it done you earned it. But I hope this is as far as it goes for you and this eventually will come to end soon. Because the truth is there are just so many voters out here that really just don't like you because of your personality it stinks. I noticed that your supporters have a problem with Obama's personality by the names they call him like the preacher, american idol, cult leader, his supporters are kool-aid drinkers, and movie star.

So is Michelle Obama still proud of America?

She has won all the large and battleground states that matter to win in November.

Hillary-Obama ticket, no chance for the Republicans

Hillary 08!

To all the Hillary Haters (even though you don't really know why you hate her), to all the morons who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination and to all the brainiacs (who rarely have an original thought) who post their poisonous comments here daily...HAVE A NICE DAY!

Way to go Hillary. You proved once again that you would do anything to win. You ran an ad that basically said "Vote for Obama and your children will die" That's just wonderful!

What are you hiding Hillary? Release your 2006 returns now so we can see who is really funding your campaign.

Hmmm...I guess it would show that Slick Willy is up to his old tricks.

WE LOVE YOU HILLARY!!!! You are my inspiration and I'm soo glad that you (and the people in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island) proved the pundits WRONG! Keep fighting to the finish and let the American voters choose their candidate...not the media. Remember, NO ONE LIKES A QUITER!!! That's why we Democrats love Al Gore and hate John Kerry.

A TRUE DEMOCRAT '08

I'm surprised and delighted that Hillary won Texas, RI and OHIO. I've been so very disappointed with all the news media (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc.). The news media has been so blatantly bias against Hillary the past several months that I stopped watching them. Whatever happened to objectivity???

She always had my vote here in Texas I'm glad she has done so well March 4th!

If she pulls this off, and I hope she does, Gov's Janet Napolitano & Bill Richardson can kiss their political futures goodbye..Both of them got their political starts from Bill Clinton and Janet thanked him by not just supporting but campaigning for Obama...Richardson is so wimpy he can't choose between Obama and Clinton...Shame on both of them for not having enough character to support the hand that fed them...

Hillary,

You are the best candidate we have, and having Mr. Obama as your VP will train him to be President of America in the years to come.

Hillary 08,

Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island you showed America that you stand with her and believe in real success for our party!

What are you hiding Hillary? Release your 2006 returns now so we can see who is really funding your campaign.

I guess it would show that Slick Willy is up to his old tricks.

YES SHE WILL!!!!

08' 12'

One can draw two conclusions that go against conventional wisdom:

First, despite what people profess, PEOPLE ARE INFLUENCED BY NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ADs!
That is why politicians have spent millions on negative ads and will do so again in the Fall.

Second, despite what people profess, PEOPLE DO NOT WANT CHANGE! That' why they crowd the center away from Barack's New Left and moveon.org and away from the evangelicals on the Right.

These are not such "big" wins as the headline says. The margin of her win in Ohio was 12 or 14 points.
The margin of her win in Texas was two or three points.

These are not like the last 11 states where Obama posted wins of 20 or more points.

Now that we know we are in this til the convention, we have to take a good lood at our two democratic candidates. Yes, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton share similar positions on many policies...But there is such a big difference in style and leadership between these two.

HIllary Clinton has given us every possible version of herself in this campaign. First she said everyone was picking on her. Then she cried. Next she complained about unfair treatment from the media. Then she was condescending & sarcastic. After that she was scolding & adversarial. She said was a fighter...then a person of action not words...and now she's a commader an experienced comeback kid. What kind of President would she make?

Barack Obama has been thoughtful, calm and consistent throughout the campaign. He has the same person with the same temperment and the same message when he was behind as when he was ahead. He has proven himself to be an intelligent and mature candidate. He hasn't gone personal or too negative. And he has the unique ability to inspire, and bring new people into our political process than ever before.

Our country needs Barack Obama's smart, steady leadership.

Big wins? Hardly. She netted less than 20 total delegates. Obama's still ahead by over 130 pledged.

Stop trying to overblow the story, CNN.

Yea for the nation! The election process was starting to feel like a done deal and I am glad it has shifted back to this–more that one choice for the states that have yet to vote. Shame on Howard Dean and his cronies for suggesting the Democratic Party would be better served if we could just get behind Obama now. How is that better? By disenfranchising Wyoming? North Carolina? Pennsylvania? NO!!! Every democrat deserves their vote to be cast. Let it be decided at the convention if need be. It's not a "race" if there is only one participant. And frankly I am thrilled to see that voters have finally seen through the flimsy veneer of Obama's campaign which outspent Clinton and still lost. He hasn't said an original thought or laid out a policy that wasn't robbed from the Clinton handbook. Anyone notice how his voice changes depending on what state he speaks in? Heard a little twang last night while in Texas. Delegates are not enough Obama–you are going to have to prove that you can win the general election. You steal your talk points in speeches and you steal your policies from Clinton. We see you for what you are. More are noticing all the time. The Republicans will handly topple your run for the presidency. The only hope this nation has is to support Clinton for the nomination–she can win the big one and get those all important social issues addressed in Washington and get us out of Iraq. She has the Armed Forces Committee experience and she understands not only the Middle East Crises; she has the understanding of all the European issues such Russia and the Kosovo uprising not to mention the Columbia problem brewing between them Venesuela and Ecuador. These are not times for on-the-job-training and they are not the time for the hawkish heavy hand of the Republicans either. We need a leader with the experience, the diplomacy and when it's needed, the hammer to take on these world issues and still have the dedication to resolve our economic problems.

Thank goodness the nomination process is not over yet.

Hillary is like a soldier crawling through barbed wire while machine gun runs are firing overhead. Come on, doesn't she have some guts?!
People say that she sounded desperate because she called Obama on things that he needed to be called on. Who else calls him on anything? His vagueness is allowed to go on and on by the press. This is a debate between contenders in an extremely important topic; The Presidential Election for the President of the United States!
This is not a game of pose, and Hillary is doing the right thing by saying exactly what she thinks of Obama's antics.

sad to say i was in love with the clintons but now i see their true colors and it's sad that they will do any and everthing, even if that means destroying the democratic party to gain the power that they crave so to the winner goes the spoils and if she wins start saying president mccain tax cuts for the rich and gutter for the poor and a hundred year in iraq with 12 billion dollars a month think about it i wish we had more choices but we're stuck with these so choose the best one which i think is barack obama the only (SOMEWHAT) honest one of the bunch stop listening to hillary

She has finally won something after a month. Now can CNN stop their bias and start reporting the negatives of BOTH candidates?

Congrats Hillary! Now you have a little more time to show that Obama is about hype not hope.

Go Hillary! I've been reading comments on the other permalinks and its funny how the Obama supporters are reacting. They talk about being uniters but state otherwise. Hillary is not going negative, she is just asking questions like everyother candidate has done on both sides. Obama supporters I ask you, really look at his record in office and beyond. He claims he can unite Reps and Dems but if you look at his record he has voted far left (one way), the Republican states that he has won have not voted Democrat in along time (plus only 1% of Dems voted) and I know for a fact they will not vote for Obama in the general election, he plays the Holier than thou card but yet he's been friends with a man (Rezko) that is on trial for fraud, etc., the meeting with Canadian people regarding NAFTA, I can go on and on. If anyone has been negative it's been the Obama campaign, supporters and media/pundits. I guess now that the other shoe is on the other foot the Obama campaign and supporters don't like it. Welcome to reality!

If she wins...or is anywhere on the Democrat ticket.. McCain has my vote. That is how strongly I am against her and her tatics. Ive had them in my state and I will do what it takes to keep it out of the whitehouse as her being President or Vice President.

OK so I totally am for Clinton and all but how is this a big win? She still has around 100 delegates to pick up to tie Obama and it seems like her only chance of that is in PA. He's going to take all the rest of the primaries and PA will probably turn out like these being to close to make up any ground. I'm actually really disappointed in these results, especially in TX. Where were all the latino votes that would have made this a big win? Where were all the blue collar votes we worked for to make this a big win? She needed to make up that ground yesterday and she didn't. The election isn't just in rural OH and TX. Its in the entire country. What can she do to make up this difference because Obama has lost nothing from yesterday's primaries?

FINALLY, we have smart states!

Does this headline mean "big" in the sense that 9% and 3% are big margins? Or does it mean "big" in the sense that it was a must win for her?

Does anyone know what the total voter count is for each of the candidates since the Iowa caucus?

According to the latest boastings of talk radio, did Hillary win a fair race? Republicans, knowing that McCain was to be the Republican Nominee, voted for Hillary in this primary. Is that fair to Obama to be cheated by vengeful Republicans? Was this FAIR and BALANCED, or were the scales tipped to favor the weaker opponent by the right? Is it possible to have a fair election in the USA? Is this type of CHEATING somehow brushed off as being acceptable? Are Republicans so gripped by Obamaphobia that they have resorted to disgracing what used to be a fair democratic system?....................................................

Hillary Clinton is rocking it in red! Truly Presidential–truly at the top of her game.

Simply incredible that the media still ponders about this big win and try to cut it slice it in a 1000 different ways to take away credit where credit is due. Hillary won and won big. She won against a biased media, against negative attacks, insults, mocking, ruthless debate interviwers, and an extraordinary overspending in advertising by the other campaing. She did not play negative politics nearly as much as negative attacks have been launched against her for YEARS , receiving incoming fire from EVERYwhere. Her campaing rightly speculates about what the consequences of her opponent's inexperience (which is a reality) would be if he were to be elected. This is not only a question that deserves strong consideration and scrutiny. This is THE question!, Is he not speculating also with our future? He does this all the time. This is his platform. A platform of "promise" of change. So isn't it pertinent that we ask ourselves: does he have the tools the experience to make this promise a reality?. In my opinion and the opinion of millions, he simply does not. HE is NOT READY TO BE OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF, SHE IS, SHE SHOULD AND SHE WILL!!!!

What is going on with the caucus results. These should not be close. I can see the popular vote being close, but never the caucus. That would show a change in the campaigns.

50 Million raised in February, Union Endorsements and Spending 4x the amount than Senator Clinton…And Senator O bama still couldn't deliver.
The PEOPLE have spoken.
I am anticipating the hostile Obamanites getting on here and try(as usual) to spew hatred and insults at Senator Clinton and her supporters.
Even republican and independent imposters are sure to get on the band wagon to downplay this slaughter by Senator Clinton.
America Spoke and now it's time to listen…Senator Clinton should be recognized for kicking some royal buttocks.

It's time to count the votes in FL and revote in MI.

Every vote counts.

Suppressing the Democratic voters in FL and MI will come back to bite whomever the Democratic nominee is.

No suppression of votes!

Keep the race up and going, keep the attention up and going. It's that simple. The notion that a longer democratic race will harm the party is simply theoretical, theres no evidence that this has happened. It's an important race, what do you expect? Mccain will become old news in comparison. Even if we go to the convention undecided theres a good chance well come out the other side of denver full of energy, which we will then carry into november. The press is vital, and McCain wont be getting as much of it now.

You call these wins "big"? What a joke?

She needs at least 20% in both Ohio and Texas. But she got 10% in Ohio (a difference of less than 20 delegates) and tied on the delegates count (may be even 5 to10 fewer delegates) in Texas.

The math does not work out for her. There is no way she will have a lead on pledged delegates even after the negatives tricks and ads that are destructive to the Party.

The mexicans gave her Texas and Calif. Now they want 9.50 hr you promissed. Ohio bought it too. Good luck suckers

HILARY CANNOT TAKE CARE OF HIS HOME, NOR KEEP HIS MAN.
THEN HOW CAN SHE KEEP OR TAKE CARE OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HUSBAND FIRST HILARY, THEN WE WILL CONSIDER YOU FOR THE WHITE HOUSE POSITION

SHE IS A DISGRACE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

SHE LETS THE REPUBLICAN CROSS OVER VOTERS TO VOTE FOR HER, AND THEN CLAIMING THE VICTORY.

AMERICA WAKE UP.

Go all the way Hillary!!!

You're the only one who can win in November and people can now finally see that.

Great victories last night. Bravo!

Release your tax records Hillary and show Ohio and the rest of the country how you beat the system to keep from being poor like them. I am a native born Ohioan and I know the rich don't care about the poor in fact the poor are snubbed by the rich whether they be white or black. If you've never lived or been in Ohio you know the separation of people is not by race, it's the rich from the poor and that's the way the rich will keep things there.

Hillary Clinton won another "big state"?

If you put Wisconsin and Missouri together, both of which Obama won, their population is greater than Ohio.

The whole logic behind "big state" bragging rights is kind of flawed, because unless something dramatic happens, Obama will still have more pledged delegates in June.

Hillary is a shame for America. After losing 11 straight contests, the only way she could get a win is to smear her opponent with negative and false attacks. This is what you get with power mongers. Hillary Clinton, shame to you. America deserves more quality in a presidential candidate than this hunger for power regardless of the cost.

is it me or are hillary's campaign tactics a bit childish? i can't believe she got away with it.
many rumors about obama had been debunked with time, and the unfair anti-obama intonations of hillary's negative ads will soon be clear.
unfortunately, it will be too late for texas and ohio to change their mind once they find out who the REAL hillary is...

she's wonderful with timing – not giving obama ANY time to rebut.

I wish ALL media channels ABSTAIN from editorializing and pretending to be the "vox populi" and concentrate in reporting the facts instead of taking sides. the right is to ovbious and so is the left.
We at home agonise when ANY TV anchor pretends to know more about the issues than the candidates and censor or approve this or that. Take CNN for example. 20 years ago, CNN was the MODEL of reporting agency at international levels. TODAY CNN has become another talk show/soap opera/the price is right kind of program.
I wish.. I wish...

Clinton chose to tout McCain over Obama yesterday in an unprecedented move, saying "McCain and I, we have experience, all Obama has is a speech in 2002."

What we saw yesterday is that the undecided vote, the swing vote, chose to vote Fear over voting Hope. This reflects sadly on the US.

Hillary's brought out the same tactics Bush used to belittle McCain in 2000, and Bush used in 2004 to beat Kerry: Negative, negative, negative, Fear, Fear, Fear. This is the kind of manuvering that precipitated the War in Iraq. Hillary is desperate and is willing to manipulate at all costs.

Upcoming voters, please consider your values.

It's obvious now. Barack Obama should withdraw from the race. A graceful exit at this point would make it possible for Senator Clinton to choose him for her running mate and unite the party. It's up to Obama now to do the right thing.

****************************************************************
Congratulations Hillary and Hillary supporters !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are almost there...

SHE IS A REAL FIGHTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think now is the time the leading democrats start showing som respect for Hillary Clinton with some endorsements and stop calling Obama a better leader ..............

GO HILLARY ................

**********************************************************************

I'm not sure how Texas counts as a big win when it appears Obama is going to end up with a net gain of delegates once everything is said and done with.

Yeah, the Rovian politics of divisiveness, hatred, and fear still works!! What a boon for Democracy!! Congrats Hillary

GO HILLARY! FINALLY SHE IS ABLE TO GET THE POSITIVE PRESS! I STOPPED WATCHING CNN BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BIASED TOWARDS OBAMA. GOOD FOR HILLARY!

WHEN YOU ALLOW ONE STATE TO VOTE TWICE IN THE ELECTION FOR THEIR CHOICE AND THEN TELL VOTERS IN MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA THAT THEIR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED, YOU HAVE OPEN THE ELECTION PROCESS TO LAW SUITS. THE DEMOCRATS MUST HAVE SHORT MEMORIES, IT WASN'T LONG AGO THAT ANOTHER ELECTION WAS SETTLED IN COURT. ITS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF TROUBLE WHEN YOU TELL TWO MILLION PLUS VOTERS THAT THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE ELECTION PROCESS. I GUESS WE NEVER LEARN.

Easy does it.. steady. As she remains firm in position her bright outcome will be rewarded. As she said.. she's just getting warmed up. the opposition wabbly legs after one hard week of punches.. versus Hillary w/ 17 years of scars. the best of luck to our new Madam President. I just wish I had an 8 x 11 real picture of her to display at my desk. I only have a newspaper cutout displayed for the last year or so.

Sen.Clinton's campaign is back on track? Honestly I don't think it ever went off track. The media,Obama endorsers and ignorant people who are anti Hillary for all the wrong reasons(her husband cheated on her,she is mean,she wears pantsuits) were stridently telling her to back down. The people have spoken,and I hope they keep it up-Hillary is the only candidate prepared to be President of the USA.

Only one question. Where is the Clinton Tax Return!!!!!!

Dude, she won by 3%. She was ahead by 20% just two weeks ago. She didn't "win", she hung on, barely. She needed to win by 20-30% to even start catching up. You guys know this and even reported this info just days ago. Now it's suddenly big wins? Give me a break. Media bias is out of control.

I never believed that media coverage truly affects the populace opinion until today.

Congrats on the well deserved victory and thank you for being such an inspiration for many of us. Fight on Hillary! Your supporters won't rest until you get to the White House – just in case the phone rings at 3 a.m.

Yes!!!! The Obama campaign can spin it anyway they want, but Hillary won where the Democrats need to win in order to win the presidency. Remember the number of delegates is 2024 and no matter what, neither Hillary or Barak will get that number. Like I've always said, "Experience does matter" and the people of Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island spoke last night! Obama is just like every other politician but slicker and people are seeing that. Good luck Hillary, God bless you and our country.

Obama lost the Texas primary by 3 percent. He is currently winning the caucus by four percent. Essentially Texas is split.

This is bad for the democratic party. Now, I guarentee it will go all the way to the convention.

she who laughs last, may have the last laugh?

Hillary took a page from Bill's book: "It's the Economy, Stupid!" But voters shouldn't be fooled by her promises. The economic prosperity of the Bill Clinton era wasn't his doing - he inherited it from his republican predecessors.

Voters with incomes over $100K voted overwhelmingly for Obama, while middle and low income earners voted for Clinton. There is no shortage of economic anxiety in OH, PA and MI who have higher unemployment and a good share of sub-prime loans.

Obama needs to demonstrate to voters that he understands balancing the family budget and the federal budget.

I hope Obama takes Tuesday as a wake-up call and addresses voter fears with substantive solutions. Hillary's ability to make empty promises does not equate with the abilty to deliver.

Since neither one of them will be able to win enough delegates with out Michigan and Florida... Everyone should start to look at a joint ticket with both candidates!!!

Maybe the media can give Obama another pillow 'cause it's going to be a rough ride from here on out.

Hillary Clinton as Commander-in-Chief is a phony argument being made!

I for one see this as a none starter for Hillary. I am a Republican convert for Team Obama BUT will fight hard to defeat Hillary by supporting John McCain because John McCain has honour and is the real deal.

Hillary would support the policies of David Duke if she thought that would help her [Hillary] win in November.

ABC '08

Go Obama Go! You can do it, we can help!

OBAMA 08

YOU GO HILLARY - we got your back the whole way...you are the most inspiration woman in the world...we are here for you - don't listen to the spew from cult Obama - we will never waver...

Hillary 08

I hope that everyone that voted for Clinton is very proud. You might want to get ready for President McCain. If Clinton is the nominee, she will be trampled by McCain. I cannot get behind her as a candidate. If national security is the strong point of her campaign, I will vote for McCain. I cannot get behind a nominee that will sling lies just to win. She is dishonest and has run a horrible, trashy campaign. If she is the nominee, I will vote for McCain. I hope that other states can see through her and vote for Obama. I want a candidate with integrity and she is not that candidate. Obama gives me hope for our country and Clinton makes me feel ashamed of the ways that people will go after power. Its not about the people – it is all about her. She feels entitled to be the nominee because her husband was President and will do anything to get it.. Sadly, people have bought into this. Today is a sad day for Democrats. Those that voted for Clinton played right into the Republicans hands. Instead of getting behind the candidate with integrety and a positive message, they backed the politics of mudslinging. Sad Sad Sad

What has Hillary won? A few delegates.

What has she taught a huge number of new, young, enthusiastic voters?
That lying, smearing, anything-to-win works in the political process.

I am 58, but I was disillusioned many years ago by the games, dirty tricks, and nice guys getting struck down to their knees. I don't want that to happen to this new group of people–as voters, and as future candidates.

Google Clinton v. Paul

CNN probably won't post this–they haven't before, which makes me wonder what backroom connections they have with the Clintons.

It is time for America to ask that Obama leave the race. It is clear that Hillary has won the most popular votes. She has won every Big state and Obama has not won one! If Florida and Michigan had counted Hillary would have this thing wrapped up!…..

I challenge all Hillary supporters to donate to her campaign this week. I am and I hope the rest of America does the same. We need a strong and intelligent President….VOTE FOR HILLARY! … GO HILLARY!!! ….. HILLARY 08!!!

Congratualtion!!!!!

I am so proud of you -Hillary!

I can't help tearing when I heard what you said:"

We're going to do it for everyone across America who's been counted out -
but refused to be knocked out. For everyone who's stumbled - but stood
right back up. And for everyone who works hard - but never gives up.

Go Hillary 2008!!!!

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton!! She is resilient, and a fighter. This is how she will fight for the American people once she is elected President of the United States. Obama's speech last night was empty, and old. We've heard the same things from him over and over again...nothing new...no solutions. His tone was not presidential last night but that of a side line, high school sports team coach trying to inspire by shouting "San Antonio!!" rather than speak with the stature of someone seeking the highest office in our country. Pennsylvania, let's get Obama, his "movement" and his rallies out here....VOTE HILLARY 2008!!!

Hey CNN folks...time to give Hillary a fair treatment from now on...will you!?

In the 3 a.m. TV ad, why is Hillary fully dressed? Did she take the time to put on her clothes and makeup before answering that urgent call, or was she up at 3 as usual, hoping that Bill will come home? Can this country survive four more years of Clintonesque scandals that will only serve to distract from the real problems at hand?

Our Prayers have been answered!

Hard work and tenacity have been American traditions from day one.

With Hillary at the helm we have a tenacious leader who knows how to work!

My take on what happened last night is where ever there wasn't a college campus or a street corner for the BO thugs to hang out and twist arms victory went to the candidate who can deliver!

Yes we can and will!

I am sooooo Happy for her!!!

You just took another bait from the Clintons.Frist they convinced you that you are biased in favour of Obama,now they convinced you that there is no meaningful contest before Pennsylvania.

Get ready for a call for a do-over in Mich and FL, Sen Obama keeps harping on his delegate lead, a lead he would not have if Mich and FL counted. Howard Dean is going to be forced to address the Mich/FL issue because the Dems can't win the White House for either candidate without FL and they can't completely disenfranchise the FL voters. As a Floridian I think the first vote should stand because:

1. The only candidate that actually campaigned in FL is Sen Obama, he ran two ads on National Networks that were aired in FL before he pulled them so he already broke the rules.

2. All of the candidates in the race at the time of the FL primary were on the ballot and since none were allowed to campaign here, the vote should be valid as it was on a level playing field, except of course for point #1.

3. The Florida voter turnout for the first primary was overwhelming and decisive, doing it over will just cost the state 10 million dollars of tax payer money. Florida voters already paid for their primary once, Gov Crist would love to lord it over democrats in the state that he had to pay twice for their votes to count. (PS if the DNC wants to penalize Floridians for voting early, they should penalize Sen Obama for running the campaign ads in Florida....I think 1/2 of the delegates that could have been won in Florida would be a fair penalty, don't you?)

Clinton didn't win in delegate. It's all about the delegates. And her fear card did not garner her enough delegates.

The Comeback Kid!!!!!!!!!
HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Hillary on her victory. But as pretty much every commentator has pointed out, she didn't significantly cut into Barack's delegate count and only one pro-Hillary state (Pennsylvania) is left, and it is a long way off.

Time for her to gracefully accept the VP position while she still has some good light.

. . .Texas by 4 points. Congratulations.

Obama 08.
Vermont 60-40
YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Yay! Clinton-Limbaugh working together.

Yay! Let's disenfranchise the future of the party!

Yay! McCain gets a head-start!

Yay! Seven more weeks of nothing happening!

Now that's sarcasm!

Great for Hillary. Now let's see what she does in the other states to come. Let's run a clean and no negative campiagn this time to prey on the American people. We want a clean campiagn because what is done in the dark will come to light.

Congratulations to Hillary. It is obvious that she will not quit. However, if she in ANY way manages to get the Democratic nomination, I (a Democrat) will be vote for GOP nominee John McCain. If we have to go with her, we will have "politics as usual" and in that case we may as well stick with those who do "politics as usual" best...the GOP.

When you consider the beating that Senator Clinton has taken the past few months due to the media and you observe how she held her head high and kept fighting, it is quite easy to see what an inspiration she is and what a fantastic leader she will be to us.
She has proven strength as a leader and strength in character... This is the person I want to represent myself and my family to the rest of the World!!!
Fantastic job HRC... You can do it, we need you!!!

CLINTON 2008

God bless Hillary

Clinton won by using the "fear" card on women and older voters.

I used to feel that even if Hillary won the Dem nomination I would vote for her in the General. But after seeing how low her campaign will go, how low she will go on a personal level in being dishonest and lifting up the Republican candidate over her Democratic opponent, I think it's shameful. She's was losing this race when she tried to run it on the up and up, but now she's gone negative and will go again, in her MEANS justifies the ENDS mentality.

I CANNOT IN ALL GOOD CONSCIENCE VOTE FOR HILLARY….I WILL EITHER VOTE DIRECTLY FOR MCCAIN OR INDIRECTLY BY NOT VOTING AT ALL. I'M LEANING MORE TOWARD THE LATTER.

That's what 's she think,,,,,, I believe Richardson will back Obama and Edwards either. Her last night speach show the arrogance again. Claming that Florida and Michigan are a part of her winning states knowing that's it's not completely exact shoe how nasty the futur will be if peoples stay quiet.........

The only reason she won is because Rush Limbaugh told Republicans to vote for her to keep the Dems in-fighting.
This was a foolsigh tactic for Republicans, and I hope it comes around to bite them in the[ir] end[s].

im very happy to see that hillary bounced back.
saddened as i am to see how dirty the election had to get though.

it will be interesting from here on out, especially when now more then ever all the states will count, which in the "democratic" society that we live in, shouldn't that always be the case?

hillary, though hated by many, is the candidate to vote for. she has years under her belt, and a record for which to go by.

obama, who is very genuine and who has an amazing talent to move people, just doesnt have a record for which i feel comfortable voting for.

its sad that this election could have been really ground breaking by having both candidates on one ticket. it just shows that though we've made strides as a nation we still have so far to go...

I am glad Clinton picked up some momentum.
I'd much rather make a choice between McCain and Clinton.
I don't want to consider voting for a presdent who refuses
to salute this country, hold his hand over his heart during the
pledge, etc. That just tells me enough about him.
Thank you Ohio for deciding on smart people who actually
have a plan! Obama has not told me one specific. All flowery
talk–no substance.

If Hillary wins the nomination I hope you are all ready for John McCain as president, why do you think Rush and Ingram are asking Rep. to vote for Hillary. It's just a shame that Americans are so easily dupped.
Remember Florida in 2000. And Catholics you should be ashamed of yourselves for voting for Hillary, she represents everything that is not Christian. (Lying, cheating). It just goes to show that people can be swayed by lies, manipulation and fear. Show me the tax returns!

CNN is so scared of Hillary and her lethal political operatives that they have not posted my comments about the real Hillary -The NY senator that is as corrupt as the state she represents, namely New York.

So PROUD of you HIllary!!! Congratulations. Now onward we go!!! You are a fighter and you love America and want to serve – it shows big time – just the kind of person we need in the White House.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!

HILLARY DID NOT WIN BIG!! Is the media and the American people not looking at the same numbers I'm looking at? Her own husband, stated that she had to win BIG in Ohio AND Texas. Well people look at the numbers that are right in front of you. The only state that she leads Obama in by 10% is Ohio (and I wouldn't consider this a BIG margin). She didn't win BIG in Texas people!!! There's a three % difference in that State between Obama and her.

SHAME ON YOU MEDIA! – Don't be fooled by the media people.

"Obama STILL LEADS and will become the democratic nominee for President!"

Where are your TAX RETURNS Hillary???? YOU stated at the last debate that you would make them available in "2 WEEKS", now, you're justifying releasing them in April by stating that April's the tax month- WE notice Hillary.... What are you hiding or rather what are you maniuplating??

So we get to hear 7 weeks of Hillary aka Karl Rove attacks. It is disgusting. Democrats do not deserve to win the election. I can't believe that the party that I have supported all my life is using such negative ads and the party elite think it is fine.

I am now an independent. Democrats have lost my allegiance.

But she is still behind Obama. I hope both depend on super delegates to win the nomination. If super delegates favor Clinton, Democrats are unfit to talk about democracy.

Interested Watcher

Congratulations HIllary.

We need a fighter like you in the White House!

I'm not an Obama fan, but he is correct on one thing: If HE had lost the last 11 in a row, he would have been run out of the race by the Democrat Party "elders" (those guys in the smoke filled rooms that really decide wjhat the party does) before last night.

As for me, I'm not a Hillary supporter (not being old, Latino or female), but I'm happy that Hillary won Texas & Ohio last night. Now we are all going to see what the Democrat Party is really made of in the next month.

McCain '08 – A Change We Can Live With

I expect this campaign (both Obama and Clinton) to get worse. I believe Obama now understands he has to fight back. I'm an Obama supporter but I congrat Hillary, however, I believe Obama will have the most delegates coming out of Texas.

I advise to the Democrats, PLEASE STAY POSITIVE THIS ISN'T ABOUT DEMOCRATS AGAINST DEMOCRATS. ITS DEMOCRATS AGAINST REPUBLICANS.

That is fantastic! We trust in you

It is going to be war from now on... What a shame, because Hillary will not be able to close the delegate gap, and the dems will be wounded even before we start the general election. But what does that matter as long as she can get back in that White House, right? NOT!!!!!!

In this war, Hillary, please be sure to remember Peter Paul, your tax returns, your husband, your true nature, etc, as all these things will show you for the coniving, sneaky rattle snake that you are.

I have not, and will not be fooled by your antics of late. You can go on as many talk shows as you want, but you can't change who you really are inside and you will never be able to close the gap between you and manipulation, cheating ,and dirt, nor do you wish too, Mrs. Clinton!

Obama '08

Do people not see through the scare tactics of the Clinton campaign?

I support Obama, but I've come to the decision that whoever wins the democratic nomination will get my vote.

LET'S GET TOGETHER DEMOCRATS!

NO MORE REPUBLICAN NONSENSE!

Negative politics works!!

You did it Hillary 08

IT IS A NEW DAY for Democrats!

Hillary Clinton is the ONLY candidate that can get the White House back for the Democrats. In the primaries, she has won the large states that the next Democratic nominee will HAVE TO carry in order to take back the White House from the Republicans. Barack Obama has won mostly small "RED" states – states that will vote Republican in the general election.

GO HILLARY!!!

I am extremely pleased that Hillary won Ohio and Texas. One comment I have to make is that there are a lot of democrats going to vote republican if Hillary does not get the nomination. I would like to see a pole regarding this.

I always say: When hope is all you have, all is hopeless. I prefer solid planning and real solutions, not pie-in-the-sky "hope" for change with no plan or even a hint of one.

I always hope for change, I go out of my way to always get all the change I can, then I throw it in a jar all year long and use it for Christmas gifts, if you always do what you can to sure you get change you can save up 4 or 5 hundred easily in a year.

VOTE SMART= VOTE MC CAIN OR VOTE HILLARY

YEAH!!!

HILLARY CLINTON 08!

Keep the juices flowing! Cinton will be in the Whitehouse.

Clinton 08!

Hillary – release your tax returns.
