Clinton bounced back this week, scoring wins in three states.
Clinton bounced back this week, scoring wins in three states.

(CNN) - This was a strong week for Hillary Clinton. It was not such a strong week for Barack Obama. Her campaign could have easily collapsed if she had lost the primaries in Texas and Ohio. He had all the political momentum going for him. Now, having won those two states plus Rhode Island, she has recaptured her mojo, even as she still remains behind him in the all-important delegate count.

Her friend and supporter, James Carville, our CNN political analyst, says that she must now win the Pennsylvania primary on April 22 and then go on to win the re-votes in Michigan and Florida – assuming they can be organized and paid for. He says that if she does win those three major states, she will get the nomination because the super delegates will flock to her. Her campaign’s argument has been that she carried the biggest states – New York, California, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Florida, etc. – and that would make her more likely to beat John McCain in a general election.

Obama’s supporters have argued that the candidate who has won the most elected or pledged delegates should get the nomination. It’s as simple as that. Even if Hillary Clinton were to run the table on those big upcoming states, he might still be slightly ahead in pledged delegates, because of the proportionate way the Democrats divide up the delegates in the states. (The Republicans, in contrast, have a winner-take-all rule in many of the states.)

Here’s the bottom line: there’s an excellent chance this contest is heading to the Democratic Convention in Denver – August 25-28. Mark your calendars.

The Clinton camp is beyond funny. She has Wolf!! Spreading all of his lies, and mis-information. I said that if she was the President we would end up in worst shape than we are in now. I get so sick of the sanctimonious who try and act like anything that is said against this lying woman is an attack. She is the worst type of person. Anyone who cant see her selfish motivations with all of this bull crap, needs mental help. I hope you all get what you deserve, like you have for the last seven years.

Angel   March 7th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

What have all of you forgotten about President Clinton in office. Those were some great years. You all say Hillary has some baggage what about Obama. Hooray! for Clinton in Texas. She is my girl, and a woman needs to be president. The Hispanics will keep on supporting her. This is something the country needs you idiots who don't support her.

Regine Arlington, Virginia   March 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Wolf, didn't Hillary callPresident GWB Darth Vadar, How does she spell Hypocite.

Carrie Salvary   March 7th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Wolfe Blitzer should be on the payroll for the Clinton campaign. He has lost (if he ever had) all semblance of impartiality when it comes to reporting about Hillary Clinton.

By the way, CNN, FOX and all the news outlets made a big deal out of Obamas supposed comments to the Canadians about NAFTA. It has been discovered that it was actually a CLINTON aide who made that comment. Where is the correction and vindication of Mr. Obama's Campaign.

With all the bias going on in the press in favor of Hillary Clinton, how can she loose?

abbey ghermay   March 7th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

That Clinton is willing to state that in essence Mccain would be a better president than Obama should have all democrats alarmed. It is very disheartening to realize that her enemies on the right may have been right about the ruthless calculating nature of her and her husband. From being basically undecided I have given $1500 to Obama in the last month and will never again vote for a Clinton.

Elaine   March 7th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

CNN shouldn't laugh that Fox News considers itself "fair and balanced."

The fact that you continue to use former Clinton advisers and administration officials as commentators is beyond me; all of the 'analysis' that they spew is immediately duplicitous.

I used to be an avid CNN viewer and I have to say that I just can't stomach it anymore. I've moved over to MSNBC; at least they alternate their bias in both directions.

Mike, Arkansas   March 7th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I would like to know why no one in the Government has Pressed the Clintons to open up their documents and used them to press charges on them and put them in jail.

How many of these people in Washington are guilty of something that is tied to the Clintons? Makes you wonder when nothing has been done with any of these Scandals that they have been involved in and never convicted of.

I have Never in my life seen so many things and illegal activities against someone and they slip by everytime.. documents get mysteriously destroyed, or blacked out, or missing, and people become missing and dead as well. What kind of Conspiracy is this??

Change Washington... dont let these Washington people rule our nation.. Its OUR NATION!!! Take it away from them

Vote Obama!!

Arlene   March 7th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

The Clintons are damaging the Democrat party. The negative
campaign they are running are turning a lot of people away. They
truly are campaigning "the Republican way" and if the party doesn't step in, the Democrats will lose the general election. Hillary has lost the repect I once had for her and she is only thinking about herself, not the party or the country.

Joe Sigur   March 7th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I will say that this idea Carville raised about Obama forking over 15 million to fund the redo primaries in both Florida, and Michigan, negating any liability or penalty to those states for part of this debacle , certainly raises some questions. I think to expect Barrack Obama to contribute money ,donated by his supporters to help him run his campaign,for paying for these primaries is ludicrous.It's the democratic party,Florida legislators and Michigan legislators, who are responsible for this situation and all should be asked to contribute.; not Obama, who simply followed the rules as presented to him and is probably "just fine , thankyou" not to worry about the redo. obviously , if Senator Clinton feels it's in her interest to finance the redo, she should. Most Obama supporters, unlike Clinton supporters, struggle to make ends meet each week, they don't have the wear withal to pay for mistakes not made by them or the candidate they are supporting

andrea benini   March 7th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Hillary is the second 'comeback kid' in the clinton family

Amelia   March 7th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

If by Mojo you mean the deceit and negativity that resonates with our elderly and less educated voters, then yes, she's got tons of Mojo. If she has her way, she'll use her "mojo" to steal the democratic nomination from the candidate with the most popular vote and the most delegates. This woman is toxic. I don't agree with McCain's politics, but I would rather have a president I respect than a president who I fear.

Focus   March 7th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Have all you Hillary supporters forgotten the incredible amount of corruption stretching all the way back to their Arkansas days? Do you have any idea how many people have been silenced or otherwise dealt with under shady circumstances who have criticised them?

What in the world are you people thinking in Ohio and Texas by bringing this same group of malfeasance back into the White House?

Lastly, Hillary is a self-professed "man trapped in a woman's body" so you're not even putting a real woman in the White House, you're electing a big fake. That's why it doesn't care what women Bill is with.

If it's Health Care we want, then Obama can provide that just as well.
Review your history of the 90's Hillary supporters and think carefully about what you're doing.....

JT in Dallas   March 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

It really does show the ignorance and fear of the Obama supporters when they cry over Clinton coverage.

You need to look at each candidate in the same light. It's ok that BHO has a lot of the media coverage when he wins, but oooooohhhh no she gets it too when she wins. Hillary votes on tough decisions and she is bbbbaaaaadddd. BHO doesn't make decisions. He's just present! (129 times). But bad Hillary doesn't show her tax returns...oh nooooo. She must be hiding something soooo well the IRS hasn't figured out her dirty little secrets. Good God! She is successful. That scares those of you who are not. You know, I seem to have heard something like this in junior high.

There are a lot of groups out there that want to be treated special but when someone else gets the same or equal treatment it's not fair! I see a lot of BHO supporters doing that very thing! Go figure! I would think the opposite of his core! (Let’s see you post this truth CNN)

Mike, Arkansas   March 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Roger... Hillary is deceitful dont you remember the mysterious death of an arkansas man that was going to be a witness for watergate? Dont you remember the shreading of document party at the tanning salon? You sure have a short memory for being in Arkansas as all the scandals and illegal activities that the Clintons have been engaged in

Kim   March 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I read all these comments and all I'm hearing are a bunch of Obama roadies whining! It really scares me that these whiners are deciding the future of our country.

Hope doesn't bring home a paycheck!

Since I hope and maybe even if I believe that I will hit the lottery –
It must be true! Ha Ha

Mark   March 7th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Hillary has gotten beaten by the press, with most of the media in the tank for Bambi, especially MSNBC – the official Obama Network. Yet she endures and wins! Every time the pundits are quick to put her away, she proves them wrong. Obamamaniacs just can't accept that the majority of Democrats want Hillary to fight for them, big states prove it. After eight years of Bush, we don't want to kiss and make-up, we don't want to hold hands. Bush and the Republican Congress have shoved their agenda down our throats; we should roll over hold hands now? No way! Hillary has been around long enough to know there are times to fight and times to reach out. Bambi just won't cut it.

Jen   March 7th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

I dont see any mojo... I see deceit, I see political favors, I see secrecy. What kind of power will she have to control things when in the white house? DONT VOTE FOR HILLARY!! You will regret it I guarantee it.

I will be saying I TOLD YOU SO once again!!

Doom.   March 7th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Hillary supporters will support the democratic candidate, regardless of who it is.

Obama supporters will jump ship and vote McCain or stay silent.

Why is this continuing?

Pam   March 7th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

The media gave her who obama mojo!!! Why did you not report the story on her conversations with Canada? Why are not reporting the truth about her? Her camp calls names and thats fine. The media sure does not want a black president. Thats fine lets get Bill back in the white house. We need the scandals of the Clintons. Since everybody wants the rules to bend for Clinton, why not just forget the election and just give it to her. The youth didn't come out for her and it is their future, but what the heck.

A Hunter   March 7th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

It seems like a little before the TX, OH, RI and VT primaries, the news agencies started balancing out their coverage of the Clinton/Obama battle. Prior to that, the media bias to Obama was simply palpable.

But now that the coverage has balanced out a bit, I can't believe the amount of rancor I see on these forums from the Obama people, who are irate that 'their' candidate might actually be portrayed as walking on terra firma and not water ! The responses from these people come across as purely rabid, frankly, and turns away people like myself from the Obama candidacy.

I think starting from Iowa, Obama has benefited from a significant portion of registered republicans crossing over and voting for him, to deny a Hillary nomination. Especially visible during the caucauses, which by its very nature are a pure sham. That is a fact, whether these republicans are true "Obamacans" or not. These people will simply cross back in the general election and vote for a republican.

Based on the above, when people state that the Super-delegates have to vote for the 'will of the people', it is essentially the 'will of the republican people' that they are talking about.

I think the democrats should have 'democrat-only' primaries like the republicans and these primary contests should be winner-take-all like the General election. Without a winner-take-all, this process is, by-design, tailored to drag on.

Thom   March 7th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Yeah, right !!!! Ask Al Gore about winning the popular vote. It's the states baby !! The BIG ones.....Hillarys' camp is correct..........

Cathi   March 7th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer, her "mojo" as you call it is toxic and venomous to the party, let alone Obama.

So, you think mojo consists of a woman who throws tantrums, sides with the Republican candidate - HEY, she should talk to HIM about running for VP on HIS ticket!), chides her opponent as if she was his mother, flip flops on issues and statements, plants seeds of disgrace to her opponent's fault when in reality it was SHE who was "wink-winking" - and just in time for the primary election in one of the states that "matters" (because she won it - not fair and square, but she stole it). So much for your praise of the monster and her "mojo."

sharran   March 7th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I don't see why Hillary's taxes are so important. Will this information help our economy, get us out of Iraq, save people from loosing their homes, improve our standing around the world. Give me a break! Obama needs to stay on message because he not good at this kind of fight.

likeable   March 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

I hope FL and MI have a revote and I hope Hillary kicks some $%%! Obama keeps talking about delegate counts. Well, since he is sooooo fastidious about rules, in order to be the nominee you have to have the magic number 2025 delegates! BUT the superdelegates have to decide who will be able to win in the general election. Obama is winning GOP states small states that will go to the Republicans. That won't do nothing for the democrats. Hillary has won almost all the big democrat states!!! That is what counts. Get real Obama peeps.

James from Texas   March 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Go Hillary!

You're at the top of the wave now. Keep the wave going into the presidency.

Obama is the biggest false prophet of our time. He's being carried like he was the person who made the winning goal, winning basket, touchdown, etc.... But why is he being touted like a hero... I can't honestly think of anything that he has done... and apparently some of his people can't either.

As for voting, we all know the rules.... I don't disagree with them.
But let the superdelegates do their thing and vote for who they think is the best. Quit saying that the delegates majority should win.

The delegate system is undemocratic and doesn't even fit the system that we use know... Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in Nevada and still loses the delegate count (may happen in texas).

keg   March 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

the american people will decide,not cnn.We want Obama

John   March 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Why don't they go ahead and give Hillary all the Texas delegates? She won them. OH,I forgot they're still trying to find a way to make Obama the winner. That's why they still haven't turned in the caucus count.

Miguel   March 7th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Would you please crunch numbers and report on the to-date count of "Real Democrate" votes for Clnton and Obama to-date – i.e., only counting "registered democrates" and not Independents, Republicans, etc., who actually voted and these Democratic Party primaries. Who leads? Thanks...

Charles   March 7th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

I hate that argument that Senator Clinton is making about winning Iowa. Is she saying that we the free voters in the state of North Carolina should not vote because the people in Iowa have already decided for us? I don’t care how many "big states" she wins, has anyone remembered all the states Obama has won. Should we all forget about that because Iowa has decided for us? Every super-delegate should withdrawal their vote until the vote is within grasp of a candidate or whoever wins the popular vote.

How can Senator Clinton really suggest that we should count the primary in Michigan when Obama wasn’t on the ballot. That sounds like a vote that takes place in Cuba! Does she really want to stoop that low? I’m all for everyone’s voice being heard, but we had rules and we should follow them. I think Dean was right to say either re-vote or we are going to follow the rules. As for Florida she has a little argument. Every name was on the ballot, however, that was early in the process and the "clinton" name is well known. You can’t say you had an election when you don’t have a campaign. As far as I see it...it was a name recognition test.

As for the attacks, Clinton came out and said she was always being attacked. At the same time attacking Obama. Now she has the press afraid to attack her. And when Obama raises legitimate questions about her tax returns...rather then releasing them, they call him Ken Starr. I guess you can’t ask the Clintons a tough question or you’re going to be told that you’re either being too easy on the other person or you’re the equal vent of Ken Starr! However, since she did bring up his name can the press start "vetting" her on these issues or are they afraid of being accused of working with Kenn Starr or being too easy on Obama.

This monster comment from Obamas campaign was a stupid comment, no one has asked how Clintons campaign gets away with calling Obama the equal vent of Bush, Kenn Starr and Karl Rove. I can take an educated guess why she is doing this! This is because we all know these me to be the political enemy of the Democratic Party.

In closing! I’m so glad that the Republican party has its first commercial when it shows that Clinton decided to support John McCain rather than her fellow Democrat when asked about the ability of all the candidates ability to lead as President! Way to go Hillary
!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Wolf, I'm disappointed in you agreeing with James Carville in reference to Hillary and Obama both putting of $15 million each. Let Hillary put up the $30 million, she created this mess.

Corey S   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Let's just say we're in the general election, if you count the electorial votes for the states both Hillary and Obama won so far, Hillary does come out the winner with over 200 electorial votes since she won most of the bigger states while Obama's would be around 160. This means Hillary is more electable. Superdelegates want to vote for a candidate who's more electable, and that should be Hillary Clinton.

Marie   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Wolf,
You really make it hard to watch CNN. What happened to your objectivtiy? It is obvious to your viewers that you are surely supporting one candidate over another. I have always considered you as one of the best journalists in America. Don't let this election tarnish your reputation.

cheryl   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Wolf....you're an adult now..play fair. ....or we'll have to take your show away. The only thing coming from the Clinton campaign is "dirt" and you're spreading it.
A Democrat that will vote McCain if Hillary is on the ticket.

David   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Obama flip-flops on Iraq???

What about Hillary?? ...She voted for the war ..or maybe CNN seems to forget..

Jon Shutt   March 7th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

I fully agree with your thoughts that Hillary got her mojo back.

James Carvel (sp) just creamed Obama's spokesman on your show. Carvel made it sound so simple when he said that Hillary will put up 15 Million, how about OIbama? Obama's man stuttered for 5 minutes after that.

Sarah   March 7th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I'm watching Wolf right now and he's really pushing for these Florida and Michigan re-dos with Carvelle and Wilhelm (how come he's not on Clinton's side this time..hmmm). Why does Wolf continually show bad news for Obama over and over again during his 3 hour shift but when there's anything to rebuke Clinton,. it get's shown once or it doesn't appear at all? Wolf is supposed to be a reporter but, in essence, he's campaigning for Clinton. How many times does Ed Rendell of PA have to be on his show? Why isn't he repeating the segment about Clinton's foreign experience wherein it shows she's lying about it? Why isn't the FEC irregulation case about her Senate race that's on the November, 2008 calendar in LA being reported? Hillary, Chelsea and, yes, Ed Rendell are supposed to be subpoenaed soon. Let's hear about that along with "Rezko"!!! Also, report winnings as they are. Caucus results in Texas aren't even in but you don't hear Wolf talking about that. Come on – let's have some IMPARTIAL and factual reporting. Leave your own choices at home.

suzieq   March 7th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I really wish the media would remind people about the debacle called the "Clinton Era". Especially Mr. Bill and his adventures under the desk where he would have received his '3:00am phone call' Does Hillary always wear dress suits and pearls to bed? She has no mojo-just underhanded low down politics which, as an American taxpayer, am sick of.
I believe America is ready for a president who will take care of America first. The Europeans learned their lesson from WWI and WWII. Why can't we? The United States is becoming the biggest joke.

Jeff K. / Galena, MO   March 7th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Wolf, here's the bottom line:

As much as Hillary is loved in this country (whatever amount that is) if she is the candidate for the fall, the Democrats will have a real fight on their hands. Right now they are looking at the voter turn out this year and falsely believe they have mojo for the general election and it doesn't matter who they put up as a candidate. It's Obama that has brought out the numbers and can again in the fall. Hillary can count on maybe 50% of the numbers now if she runs in the fall.

This issue will put a wedge into the party and the excitement will be gone if she is the candidate. She is simply "the old guard in a pant suit" and will not bring the refreshing change this country needs. I know the polls say that most of the supporters from each camp can comfortably crossover if needed when one of the two is chosen, but the polls have been wrong before this season already. A young person who is fired up for "their candidate" will answer a polster in a positive way because at that moment they can't imagine "their candidate" losing at that moment. Once "their candidate" does lose in the election, they mope for a while and then they join the race. But if "their candidate" is not chosen for the sake of backroom party favors and loyalities, that will leave a bitter taste in their Democratic and Independent mouths and the excitement and turn out numbers will leave quickly. It could cause a flood of new registered Republican voters by the fall. They're young and dis-illusioned... who's to say?

also

If the DNC allows FL and MI to do anything that allows the primary votes to count, including a "do-over", it will be just another example of the party caving in like it does in the Congress. The rules are the rules and everyone knew them going in. Like Lou Dobbs is always saying " We are a nation of rules " , and I happen to agree with him, but are we? Time will soon tell.

It doesn't matter if the primary is close or not, or, if the fact they chose to break the rules will send this primary into a convention to be decided. As long as the votes don't count, this won't happen again. If the votes do count, look for much more confusion in the future because all the states will now see they can get away with it.

Dan   March 7th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Karl Rove became a genius when he learned the art of negative campaigning (how to lie and deceive and play to voter fears). Some people might call it Hillary regaining her mojo, but to the rest of us it is not the way we wanted to see this campaign precede. The remaining question is, will Hillary’s campaign continue to succeed? If it does, the voters have learned nothing about the destructive influence of Karl Rove’s brand of politics and have ignored the prospects of the politics of hope.

Joe   March 7th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

How can you say that she won Texas? They are still counting the delgates. Also North Carolina should be considered a "big" state along with Penn.

Suzanna   March 7th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Wolf is sure showing his true feelings about this campaign. He needs to let the campaign play out and stop trying to destro Obama and favor HillBillary. Wolf you're ridiculous when it comes to being partial to Hillbillary.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY !!! No matter what you do Wolf Blitzer

Mia, Stafford, VA   March 7th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

How do you win the nomination? By DELEGATES, why does the main stream media keep pretending they don't understand that.

The facts are Senator Obama is winning and Senator Clinton would have to win all the races by 62%, that is a heck of a lot more than 10 points in CA and OH, or 18 points in RI. Barack cleaned her clock in by 29 points or more in the following states: VA, MD, DC, SC, IL, VT, IA, and many more!

Jen B.   March 7th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

What momentum? Days before the Ohio/Texas primaries the pundits were saying that she had to win both states by at least a 20% margin to stay viable. Once the Texas caucus votes are counted it looks as though Obama will be the winner there; her Ohio win was not impressive.
At one time I thought I would have no problem voting for her if she got the nomination, but I now find her campaign distasteful and divisive, I would choose McCain over her, at least he has integrity.
Obama is the candidate who gives the country a chance to make a fresh start and a reprieve from the Bush/Clinton dynasties.

anton   March 7th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Pathetic is all I can say to those individuals who say Obama has more delegates...Florida and Michigan voted and there are 350+ delegates out there for Hillary whom Howard Dean states they are ineligble because the states did not follow his rules. We all know why he doesn't want those delegate votes to count...he wants Obama, just like those other liberal jerks, Kennedy and Kerry...makes me wonder whether those liberal male jerks are really sexist at heart.

Austin 4 Hillary!   March 7th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Lydia

No, I think what you want to see is the bashing and unfairness that is always directed at Hillary. You got used to it and you want it to continue. Out of all the presidential candidates, Hillary has been the one to have gotten a pretty raw deal by the press. As much as you hate it and you do not want to admit it–she's what she is portrayed to be by all of you. You just want to keep her there. It's not going to happen. The truth always comes out!

Devin   March 7th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Wolf,

The World knows you love Hillary, every statement you make you spin in her favor.

Endorse Hillary or at least attempt to "appear" unbiased...you're only a journalist on one of the biggest stations ever! Jack Cafferty is clearly a fan of Obama but he is at least "right on" with every point he makes for and against Obama and Clinton!

Is your blog tomorrow going to be something like...

"Hillary; The most misunderstood, underrated, kind, considerate and sexiest woman on the planet!"

Suzanna   March 7th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hillbillary is so negative she can't win on her own merit.

Tough Hillbillary!!!

Bill   March 7th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

What was interesting was your Tuesday night "slip of the tongue" when you described Clinotn's win in Ohio as her winning the democratic "nomination" in Ohio. The Freudian slip reinforces the argument that the real reason behind Hillary's resurgence is the "need" for the media to keep the story alive. The line between entertainment and news in this campaign has been erased.

Sam   March 7th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

A few months ago CNN and Senator Obama himself were reporting that some Republicans were voting for him in their state primaries. Senator Obama in his stump speeches and at some debates has stated this. So when people say that Republicans voted for Clinton in Ohio, it seems to even out.

Dita,IL   March 7th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

why won't obama put up $15 million to redo primaries in Michigan and Florida, Hillary looks like she ready and willing. David Wilhelm is not a good speaker is he?

CaliMale4Hill   March 7th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

You Obamaniacs make me laugh. When CNN was blasting Clinton, posts said how wonderful CNN was. Now that your candidate doesnt know how to choose advisors that will shut their mouths, people are seeing his true intentions....

Now all of a sudden CNN is biased to you guys. I just find it so ridiculous that you can be moved by words: Hope and Change. There is word lust with you guys. He never gives real substance, you Obamanicas hear those words and foam at the mouth.

When Hillary is elected President of The United States, I can't wait to come on here and read your comments about your babbling candidate and how shafted he was at the convention.

Hillary Clinton 2008
(Donate to her campaign, let's beat the Obama campaign dollars. Go Hillary and Happy Women's Month!)

Tyrone Brown, Seattle, WA   March 7th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

There is no doubt that Hillary recaptured her mojo, and that may be a good thing in the long run...for Obama.

Barack Obama and his campaign have never taken their successes for granted and have the flexibility and intelligence to meet each challenge.

That said, I think she has done Obama a huge favor by helping to prepare for a much bigger fight with the Republicans (making him a truly "vetted" candidate), showing the contrast between politics as usual (Hillary) versus a new generation of politics(Obama) and reminding us that "if the race was easy it probably wouldn't be worth fighting for."

Obama '08

Sam   March 7th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

What Mojo???? Hillary never had an ounce of Mojo. Obama cut the heck out of her lead in Texas and is leading her in the Texas caucus. Let's not mention his delegate lead. So exactly what Mojo are you guys at CNN promoting or smoking?

James   March 7th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Pray for Mojo. /Simpsons

Thebat   March 7th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Wolf, don't you ever tire of shilling for Hillary Clinton, trying to make a story where there isn't one?

Let"s take your gratuitous comments about "Nafta-gate" earlier in todays broadcast. You mentioned "Obama's problem" but it was appropos of nothing. Then, you failed to mention that Clinton's campaign may well have done the same thing as Obama is alleged to have done, and done it first no less.

The same holds true for the Rezko case. Obama is not implicated in any way. The prosecutor made a one hour opening statement yesterday and didn't mention Obama, again because his conduct isn't at issue. Why do you keep bringing up the case? What's the relevance?

You're a hack. Go to work for the Enquirer.

Hillary won the Texas Primary based on popular votes. She won Texas 51% by three points percentage to Obama's 48%. She has the momentum now and should win more states. I guess a lot of you are starting to realize inspirational speeches can only do so much. Hillary is the one with solutions and CAN and WILL deliver.

Sayota Knight   March 7th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

her week was really weak actually. 3 out of 16 is a bad percentage and so what it was a big state. Any democrat could beat a republican at this moment. the issue of the state of states is that obama wins more he wins period. If one has been paying attention he has won 4 times the vote compared to the republican john mccain. and yes he is getting independents and republicans, hillary isn't. so take it as you will but to promote her as if she is doing great is false. She is barely holding on.

Ruth Ziegler   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

She certainly acts like she found her mojo. However, as a 51 year old Ohio woman, I voted for Obama. I am very disappointed that Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island fell victim to the Clinton Duo and their same old tactics. The fact that Hillary is "fighting" for the delegates of Florida and Michigan to count as they stand, says it all. Clinton was the only name on the ballot in Michigan, no one campaigned in either state, and the voters were told that the vote would not count. How can she even suggest that these delegates be seated?

Erik   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

James Carville is right, if Senator Clinton wins Pennsylvania, and then rewins Michigan and Florida, she will become the nominee.

Never count Hillary Clinton out.

aaron Hulsizer   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

hillary lost texas in the end. report that wolfie boy!

paulo   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

sigh...please post this...in response to the bloggers claiming NAFTAgate was unfairly focused on obama...this just in from the canadian press: the PRIME MINISTER HIMSELF confirms, hillary DID NOT secretly posture with the canadian government on NAFTA. , while obama did. i am amazed at how desperate the obama campaign has become so quickly. practically overnight his message of hope has turned into a schoolyard brawl. his supportive blogs are increasingly angry and affronting. i don't think he can be trusted with leading the USA. his tactics are similar to the failed policies of president bush...act folksy to get everyone to do what you want...and then sit back and gloat. his campaign is trying to pull the wool over our eyes once again...while accusing everyone else of doing the same. wow...were we really this close to letting mr. obama have the nomination??

Dina   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Yesterday there was a debate between Obama and Hillary supporter here in NYC radio show

Conversation goes sth like this

Hillary's supporter " Obama is bad because being a man, he is supposed to let a woman become a President, and he has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He can't be President"

Obama Supporter-" So what!! Even Hillary has made a lot of mistakes"

Hillary supporter -" This is politics- and Hillary is a human being. You can make mistakes in politics"

Obama supporter had no words.He just could not believe what he just heard...

Amazing Hillary Supporters!!!! I just love them....
(hope this gets posted)

Christie   March 7th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Wow, all these nasty comments about Hillary...Makes me glad I support her and not Obama. Such haters..Don't you all realize that it's the Republicans that want to run against Obama because of his lack of experience and inability to make decisions, like voting PRESENT instead of for or against issues. Take your blinders off and get off the HYPE. A lot air but no substance..By the way when CNN was all about promoting Obama and giving bad press to Hillary, that was OK?

jujub   March 7th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

It's the math...STUPID! Hillary cannot win, even if she gets the FLA votes. She cannot have Michigan because Barack was not on the ballot.

She needs to move over or else McCain will win.

Tyler! Clinton 2008   March 7th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Is it not funny how all Obama supporters are saying that CNN is being extremly biased? It is true. But you got the names wrong. CNN makes Clinton look like a hasbeen, someone who is just power-hungry. She is not. Senator Obama held high on a pedestal, and if he wins the nomination, it would be because of that. Every site I go all i see is MEDIA BAISED AND LOVES CLINTON! WRONG! THEY LOVE OBAMA!
Maybe if you took an Objective look at the stories covered and the tone conveyed, you'd agree. Just after march 4th, on American Morning they had an awesome conversation with Obama, being nice and loving. Come Clinton, they are cold, sardonic and rude. They put the lady on the spot now! The media, and Cnn alike, are biased against Hillary Clinton. They support Barack and continuwe to do so, so please, get your facts straight.

Hillary Clinton 2008

HILLARY will win the nomination. MARK MY WORD.

Carolyn Galsterer   March 7th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

I would just like to let you know how much I appreciate the great way you have been covering the political campaigns this year. You ask great in-depth questions without resorting to personal attacks. I was a daily viewer of MSNBC"s Hardball and Keith Olbermann's show but I've stopped completely and my husband and I are now strictly CNN and PBS viewers when it comes to politics. Thank you for your hard, substantive work.

Al   March 7th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Wolfie:

How did Hi- LIAR -y win Texas. Can you please explain????

Oh! because she only considers the primaries not caucuses...
IS THAT RIGHT?

Please don't give wrong statements.

INDEPENDENT, Wyoming   March 7th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I would like to quote Sen. Obama's own Samantha Power; During an interview, she told a BBC program this week that Obama "will of course not rely upon some plan that he’s crafted as a presidential candidate or U.S. senator" to remove U.S. troops from Iraq. Unquote!
Okay, can anyone tell me why Sen. Obama keep saying he has a plan before and now he is saying he doesn't? He must be in a lot of CHANGEs lately – Change on his position on NAFTA, IRAQ and what's next HEALTH CARE? We know his health care plan is a disaster for AMERICA.

Ron R   March 7th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Check into the CARLYLE GROUP and see who sits on the board and their curious connections between THE BUSH'S AND CLINTONS....check it out.

Grace Strong   March 7th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Wolf, I love your show and love listening to you and Jack. That said, I have to tell you, I have NO idea who I am going to vote for, I do know it will not be, more yrs, of the Bush Administration, renamed the McCain Administration, I do not want any part of that blame when it starts if he gets elected, I do live in Michigan, and because Clinton did not take her name off of the list and stuck it all, along with McCain, Clinton should get the delegates. Obama will just lose out here, he could have shown up as she did, it was Obama's choice to remove his name. The fair and only way to do it, is give them to Hillary. I fail to see why Michigan or Florida is talking about do overs, no one wants it, according to Howard Dean, Dem's can't afford it, Republicans don't want it. I didn't vote for Hillary in the primaries, but she won Michigan fair and square. Now, can we just move on???

Melissa Atlanta, GA   March 7th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Both Clinton and Obama have strong arguments to make as to why the superdelegates should go with them; Clinton did when the 'big' states and Obama does have the most pledged delegates. Obama should get the superdelegates because it is unamerican for 30 years of this nation's history to be decided by two families.

Dennis Wolfe   March 7th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Hillary will win. She is the only who can take McCain and win the general. The super delegates know this, Obama just can't close a deal, he's all talk without the political chops necessary for the fight ahead, he's light and fluffy – no match for the Republican machine.
A few days of pressure and he crumbled like a cookie. He had all the money, momentum and yet Hillary rolled over him.

Jim, American in Paris   March 7th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Hillary is sure to wrap this up and before the convention.

Obama's campaign is faltering and his protective bubble burst last Tuesday. I don't even think another pillow could save him now.

Go Hillary!!!

michael   March 7th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Obama is Bi-racial, stop insulting his mother who happens to be white and father who black. I'm African and we acknowledge people who Bi-racial. Because it takes to two blacks to have a black child, Two white to have one and one black and white to have a Bi-racial child. By the way I'm 100% Black and can't understanding why African-American want Bi-racial only to be black

Hillary Supporter   March 7th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Get real, Wolf. Obama's followers call Obama their Lord. He uses others to go out and slander Hillary and make back door deals, then he chastisedsthem and they go away. He blames Clinton for leaking stories that his team planted – for reaping a harvest his staff has sown. He works the press, he preys on the disillusioned and he blinds even the very elect.

Who is the REAL beast here?

He that sows the wind will reap the whirlwind.

Hang in there, Hillary. His throne is crumbing.

Jenny   March 7th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

I voted for Hillary this past Tuesday because I felt strongly we needed a woman in the White House. What I've read all day on the net is something else, I must admit. Perhaps the Obama folks are justified to call her a liar and cheat for her alleged involvement with NAFTAgate? I'm so confused...

Political Jonze   March 7th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

As has been mentioned Hillary Clinton has a 20 point lead in Texas and Ohio before Obama turned his focus to those States and started campaigning there. The fact that he WON Texas is somehow lost on Hillary and her MSM sycophants who like to champion it as a huge comeback when she'll end up with a net gain of 6-7 delegates. Barack should win those delegates back after Mississippi and Wyoming so essentially they're back where they started a week ago.

Karen G.   March 7th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Hillary has 'mo' and 'jo' if that;s interpretted Mean, Over Bearing, and Just Obnoxious. Sorry, do I need to resign now?

However, I see 2 major problems with Hillary winning the nomination.

1. In the general election, Hillary voters would support Obama; Obama voters will NOT support Hillary. Therefore she won't beat John McCain.

and

2. If by some chance she were elected President, there would be NO change in our government. There are very few in Congress that like or respect her well enough to work with her, especially on the other side of the aisle. Her platform doesn't mean a whole lot if she has no where to go with it.

Katherine Oliveira   March 7th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

BARACK OBAMA WON TEXAS. SAY IT.

Susan   March 7th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

This is great – I don't normally post just read – but I've got to admit this is better than a soap opera. So here I am taking names – those who hate Clinton vs those who hate Obama – I'll come back after the convention and invite the losers to join us republicans – see you at the end of August.

Arthur-Texas   March 7th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

With her big wins in Texas,Ohio,and Rhode Island,Hillary is indeed on her way to the nomination.
A new Rasmussen poll shows her 16 points ahead of Obama in the state of Pennsylvania..
Given all the wins in big states she has accumulated,She cannot be denied the nomination.If Obama wins the nomination he will have a hard time winning in California,Florida,New Jersey,New Mexico and Arizona,because Latinos and Asians will not vote for him.New York state will also be put in play because of Latinos
dislike for him and the large Jewish vote may not vote for him especially if Senator Liberman campaigns for Senator Mccain in the state.
The Democratic leadership know this thus it will be easy for them to select Hillary as the nominee.

Katherine Oliveira   March 7th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

You guys are losing me... David Gergen and James Carville..political analysts and both former employees of the Clintons. Do you really think that those of us listening believe you are anything but biased? These two men seem to very cleverly sway the conversations in favor of the Clintons. It's becoming a joke and doing nothing more than making a contribution to the huge amount of cynicism out there.

Tammy   March 7th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

Well the Mojo is that the republicans voted for her in Ohio and Texes so the race can go on and we republicans feel that McCain will beat the pants off of her in the General Election.

gwen   March 7th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

She never had it. She got her "MOJO" from negative campaigning and the repub. party. The repubs are quaking thinking about facing Obama and they know many poeple will not vote for her. This favors McCain as he can attract independents and other repubs that might vote for Obama. The ONLY reason she got where she is, is due to her last name. Don't you find it interesting she was the only one on the ballat in MI other than Dennis Kucinich and she only got what 55%, the other 40% was indecided. Her "victory" in Fl is primarily due to many NY'ers are there. This is really silly and the dem party is losing with the American people being the real losers.

Oh Roger-Being that you are from AK it is looking like your under the Clinton spell-The inspiration for "worst attittudes" is what HRC inspires with her childish rants, supporting the other party and putting her opponent who is in her own party down. Very UNPRESIDENTIAL. Don't you recognize after ST she couldn't win nothing?

rosemarie   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Hillary is not splitting any party, stop listening to all the silly news on TV they just do all this garbage to sell their tv stations.

She has as much right to run for the presidency as anyone else.
She is a brilliant woman, and you should be proud of her. THIS IS POLITICS no matter what he says and he can't change that.
By the way why don't you ask him why he accepted the endorsement of Sen. Kerry, when he also voted YEA to the iraq paper #114, is that fair or playing dirty politics, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Ron R   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

The canadian goverment now says the whole NAFTA thing started with a phone call FROM THE CLINTON CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as if we didnt already know this!!!!!!!!

JANICE   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

OBAMA HAS PICKED BAD PEOPLE FOR HIS CAMPAIGN. HOW WOULD HE PICK HIS STAFF? NO TO OBAMA ALL THE WAY.....DON'T YOU DARE QUIT NOW HILLARY...

Blackorchid   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

It was recently reported on MSNBC that it was actually the "Clnton Campaign " who had contacted the Canadian Government about NAFTA and told them not to worry . It was also reported in the Canadian paper as well . Why isn't CNN reporting this ? Why do you keep bashing Barack ?

J Mullarney   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Wolf, why dont you propose this as a solution to the predicament we are in. 60% of the US clearly wants either Hillary and Obama – aka the dream team. Shouldn't they both sit down and cut a deal – let Hillary take the first 4 years with Obama as her VP – during that time Obama can learn on the job. Then let Obama take control for the second 4 years with Hillary as the VP.

N   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Yes Wolf, it was a strong week for Hillary but those of us who had a caucus in Texas are still recooperating.
What a mess–and the reason for a caucus is "to meet and mingle with your neighbors"???
Your first step was to vote in the primary/then go back at 7 which was a total disaster for many people. My 87 year old mother could not go back at that time due to her disability. The caucus is a disadvantage for the elderly , disabled and parents of small children.
Also, anyone could sign in on the caucus sheets and noone would verify names, ID, etc. Even if the state would verify the names written on each sheet that would take months.

Agust Gudmundsson   March 7th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

I think after next Tue they will both be at a new starting point and fairly even, as far as mojo is concerned. News-worthy events may shift the mo one way or the other over the next 6 weeks but PA may come down to issues, commonality and execution. Many of us Edwards supporters in WV will back Clinton and we will be pleased to once again have a voice when the race comes here in May.

On another note. If the FL vote does not count then could the state choose to not put the democratic nominee on the ballot in Nov?

ty, Illinois   March 7th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Yeah Obama should be judged by what kind of friends he has been keeping. He has been in long relationship with Tony Rezko, his church, and he was hesitant to reject Louis Farrakhan's endorsement. He calls himself a man of good judgement. I think not.

SLOWLY BUT SURELY....   March 7th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

OBAMA NEVER SAID THEY WOULD WIN OHIO OR TEXAS. THEY ALWAYS SAID THEY WOULD DO WELL AND RHEY DID. THEY CLOSED HER LEADS SIGNIFICANTLY!!! SHE IS NOT BEATING HIM BY THE LAND SLIDE MARGINS HER BEAT HER. SHE DID NOT HAVE DECISIVE VICTORIES. YES A WIN IS A WIN BUT ONLY IF IT COUNTS IN THE END.

REMEMBER THE LOWLY SNOWFLAKE: NOTHING ON ITS OWN. BUT WHEN THEY COME ONE AFTER THE OTHER???

OBAMA 08

Dita   March 7th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

It's not over yet, why do barack's supporters want Hillary to drop out?
Are you afraid she will win the nomination and beat McBush??
Let it run its course already!!!

Linda   March 7th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

What has happened to the best political team on television? Hillary Clinton cannot win this nomination by the rules that are in place. Why are you talking about any argument she might advance? No argument about State size should matter. Why aren't you focusing in on what is true? She is a sore looser and a spoiler! She is willing to suggest that Obama is a mental midget. Well, if he is, she must be a mental dwarf. She was born rich and white. He was born poor and of mixed race. He has achieved, in his own right, a seat in the U.S. Senate. The same accomplishment she has on her own.
She is divisive and I don't think she cares any more about America than George Bush. He too knew he was not qualified to be president. But he pressed on for his own selfish ambitions. America has suffered the consequences. If we allow Hillary Clinton to muscle her way to the top of the Democratic ticket, we will deserve all of the division and strife she is trying her best to conjure up.

Jimmie   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

I know the race is three against one, Hillary, Bill and Chelse, Clinton against Barrack O'Bama. My question is how can Hillary Campaigns' withstand the financial burden of the of them campaigning in different areas on a small budget? Where is the money coming from?

Karlee   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

She has her "mojo" back alright. SHE HAS EVERYONE FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER. She started with the negative attacks after saying she was "honored to be sitting beside him", then "shame on you, Barack Obama", then the innuendo of NAFTAgate (when it was really her campaign that talked to the Canadians), now she casts doubt about the soundness of Obama's campaign organization because of the "She is a monster" comments, ALL THE WHILE, her campaign heads Ickes and Penn are shouting expletives at each other, and they claim Obama is like Ken Starr.

Yep, she has her "mojo" alright. She has EVERYONE fighting...... inside her campaign....outside of her campaign......media pundits......Americans on the internet. Then she admits she's ready to invlove the Superdelegates.........legislators trying to decide the mess with Mich and Fla.......and it will go on and on and on because that's what Hillary is best at-driving wedges and being a divider of all!!

TJ Cunningham   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Just like the general election delegate numbers should count. When the electro college votes after the presidential elections all that matters is who has the numbers. Senator Clinton and the Clinton machine can say what they want but the people made it clear they want Senator Obama. The rules are the rules. If she steals the election which many of us think is possible then many of us life long democrats will not vote and Senator McCain becomes president. Yes wolf no matter how much CNN wants Hillary and no matter how negative she becomes the presidency will not be hers. Some one needs to tell her "We knew Bill Clinton and She is no Bill Clinton". I now watch MSNBC as they seem a little more neutral.

JAMES R, WYOMING   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

What a UNPROFESSIONAL conduct for Obama and his camp to call Sen. Clinton a "MONSTER". She is a Senator and former First Lady for God's sake. I have never been so disgusted with Obama's political tricks until today. AMERICA must find out more about Senator
Obama's involvement with indicted REZKO, PLAGRIARISM, his Flip-flopping on IRAQ and NAFTA, his questionable PATRIOTISM and all other things puts him as the worst Democratic candidate ever ran for President. My God, I am scared what this man will do when he answers that 3 a.m. phone call! We might as well keep BUSH in office! Elect Hillary and we don't have to worry about any of these things! MR> BLITZER, YOU ARE MY HERO NEXT TO SEN. CLINTON!
You tell the truth and that's what journalism is all about! TRUTH!

PhilT   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

That depends on how one defines "mojo". If it means negative mudslinging like the "Ken Starr" comparison, and the "do as I say not as I do" approach when it comes to defining her plans on a mandate for Universal health Care, a "time out on trade" (has trade been a bad child?), and and unconditional starting to withdraw troops within 60 days no matter how unrealistic that may be in 01/2009, then yes she is getting her mojo back.

What I find completely amazing is the free ride her campaign is getting from the press regarding all of the above issues, as well as on the release of the tax returns and White House archives.

Maybe SNL will do a skit about that this weekend, and shame the media into focusing themselves on the Clinton campaign a bit.

PhilT – Bedford NH

Dianna   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

If by mojo you mean distorting the truth and running negative ads, stupid ones in fact like that ridiculous phone call in the middle of the night, then of course she has. That is the only way she can win because unfortunately her base is among the least educated, media influenced groups.

I am sick of her claims that she is the most qualified to become Commander in Chief from day one. Has everyone forgotten that she voted for the war in Iraq? So tell me, how does such poor, flawed judgement that has caused over 4,000 american soldiers their life, permanently injured thousands more mentally and physically, and cost an untold number of innocent Iraq citizens their lives, make her the candidate best prepared in issues of national security? God help us all! Her experience shows she should never set foot in the White House. How can people be so bloody stupid!!

Steve H   March 7th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

She only has as much mojo as you and others in the media say she has. Her relative number of delegates is the same.

Adeline   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer....I fugured you out. YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN AND YOU ARE FANNING THE FIRE BECAUSE YOU WANT THE REPUBLICANS TO WIN. YOU REPUBLICANS ARE TRULY ENJOYING WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE YOU WANT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO DESTROY ITSELF......AND MUCH OF HILLARY'S SUPPORT RIGHT NOW IS COMING FROM REPUBLICANS WHO KNOWS THAT IF THEIR CANDIDATE GOES UP AGAINST OBAMA......OBAMA WILL WIN.

Kimberly   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Yes, I agree, she does have her Mojo back. I wanted to let you know that my parents are registered Republican in California but wanted to vote for Hillary. They could not do so in the primary, but will vote for her in the general election. I also have many Independent friends who requested the Democratic ballot but were not given the opportunity to vote in the Democratic primary. Some were out of town during the primary and were not given the ballot they requested. So there are lots of Hillary supporters out there who could not vote for her this time but will vote for her in the general election.

I LOVE AMERICA   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

CNN, Have you endorsed Clinton? Are supporting her now? al least you should have done it formally.

Obama is the sincerity our country is longing for!

Alice Newman Center Harbor NH   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

When the dust settles, there will be a nominee. Some wounds will heal and others will wear band aids as they vote but the Democrats have the chance to change the culture of scandal and make history with either a woman or a black man. The Republicans had a golden opportunity to show America what leadership looked like and what they could do for America. They failed. Looming recession, war, veterans committing suicide and homeless in record numbers and a huge deficit. It's time for change and the pundits will not be able to predict what is in the heart of voters.

doug   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Yes you can say it but I think her mojo is too late. The delegate numbers will most likely widen in the next few days.

Linda, Sunny Isles Beach, FL   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Hillary is a "monster!" It's a shame that people don't want to hear the truth. Why aren't you people - all of you: MSNBC, CNN, Fox - telling the truth about her? I can't even watch this mess anymore. I'm done. As much as I would hate to see another republican in place, this just may happen, I and many others won't be voting for Hillary, if she gets the nomination.

Sakina   March 7th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Obama won Texas according to the caucus results.

This is unfair reporting.

Ron R   March 7th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

I respect Wolf Blitzer as a journalist......BUT THE ONLY REASON HILLARY IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS RACE IS BECAUSE OF THE PRESS AND HER DIVISIVE TACTICS. Do we really want a president who can come up with the most creative and fear based ad they can to win votes?? ASK YOURSELF. As I have said numerous times, if her last name wasn't Clinton, she would have been a afterthought by now. Keeping her in the race is the absolute best thing the press can do for their ratings and viewership. OPEN YOUR EYES AMERICA!!

Richard   March 7th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

The Texas cacuses are very corrupt. Obama's people were offering Obama supporters a chance to win $100 cash for staying at the cacuses. Clinton supporters were asked to leave. Whats up?

old boy   March 7th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Drop out Obama !!!!!!!!!! u know that the only way a man of ur itty-bitty experience could win was to run against a woman–and yes call her bad names. how high-school can this get!

Paul Peters   March 7th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

The great losers are women in this election and America in general. Clinton have face extreme discrimination at the expense of women. It all started with the that video of a semi-naked lady having a crush on Obama, John McCain not bringing his female supporter to order when she insulted Hillary(calling himself a friend of Hillary), Bill Clinton and the media being negative towards her. All this plan are exactly what MEN wants. Shame on my U America for being a cruel sexist society.

Terry   March 7th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Hillary had mojo??? When Hillary entered this race she thought that she was going to be a shoe in with no competition. What she was not expecting was this Washington newcomer full of fresh ideas and none of the ties to the bad politics of the past. With the races in Nevada and Texas she has shown that she is no different than the rest. When the rules don’t work in her favor she wants the rules changed even though she agreed with the rules in the past. We have had enough of that type of politics and we want something new. So my vote goes for Obama since I don’t trust Hillary. What we need is Obama for President, Edwards as Vice President and Richardson as Sec. of State. Let’s retake our nation and reearn the respect of the world community. Obama ‘08

Christiane   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

to Paul,
i agree with you. She did NAFTA Lie only to win Votes in Ohio.
I really shocked, why came the Truth out after Ohio and Texas? This Question is for CNN, why did you posted the Truth not earlier?

MM   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Oh my gosh, and you are talking now about the monster remark YET again. Clinton has seemingly reclaimed her "mojo" because of media like you. But if you are Clinton supporters (and it sure seems like you are), your coverage is just turning off former Clinton supporters!

Abe   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Republicans gave Hillary Texas and Ohio because they know she's easier to beat in the general election. All the right wing tak show host were asking their listners to switch a party and vote for hillary and thats what they exactly did. Too bad the upcoming elections are closed elections.

Alison Dubsky   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Hillary won the popular vote in Texas!!!! She won the state. Obama may end up with as many delegates, but saying he won Texas is the same as saying George Bush won in 2000. I think we know something a little funny happened there.

ltattoo   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

don't we deserve a media that works?

Connie Ruggieri   March 7th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

I listen to you almost every night , although, I must admit I switch channels when you are repetitive, and keep saying the same things over and over. I like to see Cafferty make a fool of himself. All us women have a blast, imitating him. Its good for a laugh. He's so insecure. Whatever will he do when Hillary becomes President???
And she will.... He should go on Saturday night live.
The latest news about the resignation, just proves what we already knew, at least most of us....Obama is no saint. And neither are the people in his campaign.
He's human, just like Bill and Hillary. He does not walk on water.
Now lets get down to the issues.
Who's best suited for the Presidency. Ready on day 1.
Who will do most for the people of the United States, and for our status on the world stage. ?
The answer is crystal clear for those that are not dreamers.
Hillary!!!!!

McCain doesn't have a prayer.

Joann   March 7th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

What gives Clinton the momo, is the media, Everything i hear from you is all about clinton. your not fear. You guys know that Clinton carries a lot of baggage. She and her husbent as you and the rest of the media knows they cannot be trusted. Obama does have the momo and the fight. You just wait in see. Why don't you talk more about why she won't give up taxes and all she claims she did while in the white house. Why doen't she give up the record?

Brian   March 7th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Blitzer...you use to be so respected and popular and now are viewed by many as just another puppet...not reporting the news but rather your own bias. Trust me, your not that important.

joy   March 7th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

for me hillary should be the nominee for democrats for all those big states she won and since obama is just new in politics and being 3years senator is not enought . i should be happy if he agree's to be a vp in the party.so he can learn more. he is young anyway.

Viva Hillary   March 7th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Senator Clinton has her Mojo and is the best candidate for the democratic party. She has been in national politics longer than Senator Obama. He has been in the National stage for a year and half not including the year he has been campaigning. Does he have the jaw to take the tough questions? I don't think so when I want a preacher I go to church. When I want a leader I go to someone who has been fighting for issues since I started voting 15 years ago. She is the one who could fight for the Democratic issues and for the US...

Let him run in 8 years when he has real legislation experience and if he can last in the hall of Congress. Through everything. Change is what I want I want to Change the current administration to one who knows what they are doing. She knows and has a proven record...

Joe   March 7th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Revelation 13:18 "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666."

barack/hussei/nobama = 666

Like Damien in the Omen movies, Obama sends his staff out to do his dirty deeds – wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Then they disappear.

All Clinton must do is wait. Obama the false prophet will show show his true colors.

Trenton Sims, Los Angeles   March 7th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

We Hold These Truths To Be Self Evident....

EVERYTHING that she is allowed to do or say ..is not allowed for her Opponent(s)

Clinton has already done, is in the process of doing, or will do moments later, EVERYTHING that she Criticizes or Accuses Obama of.

Sonya   March 7th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

It seems no one has noticed, but there are NO winners here! Howard Dean needs to quickly resolve this democrat on democrat crime wave. I am soon to become republican.

Colin from Scotland   March 7th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

You are lucky to have two excellent candidates. I like both Hillary and Obama but If I had to choose, I'd go for HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah   March 7th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Hillary will only destroy the DNC in her quest to win–for sure she cannot beat Obamo in delegates so the race needs to wrap up no matter how many more contests are held.

If she win the nomination, she will not win the Presidency because
she won't get the votes on the premise that she stole the nomination using dirty politics–she will lose the Obamo democratic supporters which she needs to win.

If the DNC donot do something really fast they will lose!!!

RLL   March 7th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Your Obama supporters seem fixated on the fact that he was 20 points down before the Ohio and Texas primaries, but ignore the fact that everbody, including CNN, had written her political obituary over and over and over and over again before these primaries. He had all the momentum. He won 12 in a row. He was going to drive the final nail in her coffin. Well, it didn't happen. No matter what happens in the Texas caucases, more people voted for her in the primary. Primaries, the truly democratic vote (little "d"). Finally, the only thing that happened in the last week is that the media finally began vetting him. She has faced ten times the negative press than he has. Obama supporters: stop whining, he lost!!

cm baldwin   March 7th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Wolf,

Hillary doesn't have enough mojo to become the nominee. She has done the unthinkable by tearing down Obama for the republicans. She NARROWLY took Texas and may end of losing the state when they complete the caucus counting. And why do you keep repeating Hillary WON Michigan? How do you call that a win if she was the only candidate on the ticket.

What does it take for the MSM to just tell the truth..it's no wonder most Americans do not trust the media.

Why hasn't CNN covered the NYTimes story on the FBI investigation into the funds missing from RNC accounts?

Susan   March 7th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Wolf,
I agree. I think that the 3 wins have re-energized both Hillary Clinton and her campaign organizers. There is a new sense of hope and optimism which is vital to going forward.
I enjoy all your political commentators and their various interpretations of events in the campaigns. However, Donna Brazile's take on the Power fiasco was very strange today. Hillary was trashed by Power
to the foreign press, but Donna moaned that poor Barack is having a tough week! Donna usually excels at keeping her own feelings out of play, but not this time..
Lots of fun!!!

Harry   March 7th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

At the end of the day EVERYBODY is ignoring the elephant in the room. Obama is BLACK and although the press dare not discuss it there are still many places in America that are racist...including the establishment.

Listen to people like Senator John Kerry and Senator Daschle about Obama's experience. These are not ignorant men gone astray on some bandwagon.

PLAY BY THE RULES HILARY because you are on the verge of starting a revolution.

Changing times   March 7th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

WOLF CAN SAY WHATEVER HE LIKES, IT IS CLINTON WHO HAS USED HER UGLINESS TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY. NOT OBAMA.

HE INSPIRES AND SHE INFURIATES.

Barb in Ohio   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

I would much rather have Hillary with her "mojo" running,
than 4 more years with a Republican president. Look
what bad shape our country is in today, compared to
the Clinton's 8 years in the White House.
and what do we "really" know about Obama?

Michael Sawyer   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

I do not believe she has. What she has done is show just how low she will go to get the nomination. The problem with that is, she has done a great deal of damage to the democratic party. If by chance she has not gotten her mojo back, which I believe she hasn't, should she not get the nomination, how will she then turn around and support Obama if he receives the nomination. I don't think shew really understands or cares about party. Her only concern is that she get into the history books as the first female president. What about the rest of us that will suffer due to her defeat if she does get the nomination. She will lose if she goes against Mccain. They are praying for her to be the nominee.

MCNEIL   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

WOLF I AM SO PLEASED WITH THIS ARTICLE YOU HAVE WRITTEN........... I HAVE BEEN CRITICLE OF YOU IN THE PAST FOR BEING SO BIASED AGAINST HILARY ..THIS WAS A WELL WRITTEN ARTICLE AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR IT.................... I KNOW WE COULD NEVER GET A FAIR AND UNBIASED OPPINION FROM JACK.........HE IS SO ANGRY ALL THE TIME...WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?

rosemarie   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

what on earth you silly people talking about Hillary won 65 delegates or was it 67 in Texas, and the caucaus counts are not in, so how can that be only 3.

Wolf it is about time you started using your influences to get peoples respect for Hillary Clinton.... She is a brilliant and clever woman and most men don't like that, including you it seems.......If Obama's fans are being so vicious and nasty he isn't playing fair either, why is he allowed to get away with everything and Hillary can't.

james   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

I agree Wolf. The reason she is simply this. Clout, she has more clout in the usa and around the world. Mr Obama is still in a learning curve

Texas Voter   March 7th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Regain it...SHE NEVER HAD IT. ALL Hillary has ever had working for her are lies and deceit along with Bill's strong armed tactics.

Hillary would become DICTATOR of what used to be America if we voters don't put an end to her political career. That end could not come soon enough.

CNN needs to put out an in-depth report of it being Clinton's rhetoric on NAFTA in Canada that is in question. Obama was telling the truth...it never happened. Where is that story Wolf Blitzer?

Certainly you and CNN are to afraid of the Clinton machine to be impartial journalists.

So one of Obama's advisers called Hillary a monster...that is true. Hillary's chief adviser called Obama Ken Star...not true. So where is his apology to Obama....why doesn't Clinton fire him? Hillary herself agreed to publish her tax records, just as soon as she has time. Yeah right.

John   March 7th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer is with the clintons He never brings the real news on his "situation room" program and he never asks the right questions. He knows the clintons well he has had many meals with them in the white house.

Basquale   March 7th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

I used to like watch CNN and read in the Internet Site. But the longer it goes and hear all the statments how Hillary will win the nomination the more I get disgusted.

Florida and Michigan violated the rules!
Hillary didn't win big in Texas!
NAFTAgate started with the Clinton Campaign!

This kind of journalism is totally wrong!

OBAMA YES CLINTON NO   March 7th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

HILLARY CLINTON IS USING ALL THESE DISTRACTIONS TO ALLOW HER NOT TO HAVE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES.
1. HOW WILL SHE DEAL WITH THE MIDDLE EAST WHEN THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN.
2. HOW WILL SHE DEAL WITH A THREAT TO AMERICA THAT HAS NO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN? TERRORISM HAS NO COUNTRY TO NEGOTIATE WITH. WHAT IS HER PLAN? SPECIFICALLY
3. HOW ABOUT SHARING HER TAX RETURNS? HIDDING SOMETHING?
4. ITS TIME TO GET OFF SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE , WHO NEEDS A PRESIDENT WHO SPENDS TIME COURTING HOLLYWOOD, WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?
5. WHAT ABOUT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN? DO I WANT A PRESIDENT THAT CAN'T FOLLOW THE RULES WHEN THEY ARE NOT CONVENIENT FOR HER, DO I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO BREAKS THE LAW AND GETS AWAY WITH IT? NO NO NO NO
6. WHAT POLICIES DID SHE ACTUALLY COME UP WITH HERSELF DURING BILL'S PRESIDENCY? WHAT SPECIFICALLY ACCOMPLISH ON HER OWN? VERY LITTLE ACTUALLY

WAKE UP AMERICA, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. GET ON LINE AND INVESTIGATE THIS WOMAN FOR YOURSELF. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED

James France   March 7th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Look folks, do any of you realy understand why Hillary or anybody else can pull a few troops out of Iraq? There is an international private security force over there of over 50,000. They are doing just about all the dirty work, security, have nobody scoping them out or telling them what the rules of the road are. It's increasing daily. Some estimates have the number at 75,000. So if you pull back 10,000 or so troops what does it matter? A lot of guys are getting out of the military, going back as private security people and making $150,000.00 plus for doing what they used to do for chump change in the military. All of you idealists out there need a wake-up call. If oil goes to $200.00 a barrel. And, the soothsayers are saying it could, we are going to be really glad that we can control the oil flow over there which is what the invasion was about in the first place. We are stuck with oil as our main meal for many years to come. All the green planning and utilization in the world is going to take tens of years. So get your thumbs out of your mouth, see the facts, and stop trying to put somebody in the White House that would be a shoo-in on american idol.

David in Dallas, TX   March 7th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

As long as CNN seems to be employed by Clinton. Why do you not report the story of Clinton calling Ian Brodie in the Canadian governement and giving him the wink wink on NAFTA, not Obama? The Canadian press and MSNBC are.

Not that I expect CNN to print this.

Kimberly   March 7th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Yes, absolutely, she has recaptured her Mojo! My parents are registered Republican in California so they voted Republican in the primary, but both wanted to vote for Hillary. I've heard this from Independents also who could not vote for the Democrats due to glitches in the system this year. Some who vote absentee were not given the Democratic ballot as requested and they were not in town to vote in person. So there are lots of people who wanted to vote for her and will vote for her in the general election.

VFH   March 7th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

How about this: Obama was caught in another lie. His former adviser spilled the beans about his Iraq plan, and it's not what he's been telling voters. He's going to implode!

Chris   March 7th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The only mojo Hillary showed was getting the negative attention off or her and her husband and putting it on Obama helping John McCain. So if she can't be the democratic nominee than let Republicans win.

NoMoreRecounts!!!   March 7th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Clinton has no mojo.
Thousands of Republican voters listened to Rush Limbaugh all day last Monday to take his advice... which was to not vote for Mccain, rather vote for Clinton to keep the Dems infighting. Mccain had a victory sealed, so it was a given. Therefore their vote was expendable, yet strategic.
The reason Hillary won is a Limbaugh effect.
The Republicans simply fear going up against Obama, as opposed to the dirt they've accumulated on Hillary.
Clinton's ability to pull Republicans to her side this way is not going to favor the Dems, which is opposite of the way that Obama can pull Republicans to him. Because Republicans will actually vote for Obama in November!

Dan   March 7th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Clinton lost her mojo long ago when she voted fr the war any right minded clear thinking person should be morally opposed to supporting Hillary Clinton or john Mccain both of them had a severe lack of judgment. The only way clinton can regain her mojo is if she repudiates and apologizes for her vote.

Jill   March 7th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

The only momentum Senator Clinton has is the momentum provided her by the main stream media, including CNN; although, I think your coverage has been slightly more fair than the others. However, the media just wants a fight, as do the Republicans, so they are all inspired by the idea that the scrap between Clinton and Obama will continue for months and months. They both win in that scenario: the losers? The Democratic Party AND Senator Obama. He has still won more states, more of the popular vote, more of the pledged delegates, and he is closing in on her superdelegates – down now to something like 40 or less. How is that momentum?

Jeff from Los Angeles   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

It appalls me that all the obama-ites on this message board actually think that CNN has their nose up Hillary's butt! Wolf....You have gotten it right on this one. People are finally starting to realize that they don't have any idea who this Obama guy is. It's Hillary's time....it will be Obama's later. He seems like a good guy, but hell...he only had ONE YEAR in the SENATE before beginning his campaign! People want an experienced person to be their lawyer or their restaurant server. When are people going to start realizing that a president has to have experience. It is the toughest job in the country!! If we want somebody solely based on inspiration then we might as well start electing people like Tony Robbins!!! Go Hillary!!

Marilyn   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Just wait and see – the people will come to their senses and Hillary will win it all in the end – she should be the nominee! Obama is not capable of winning in November when those Republicans and Independents who voted for him in the Primary vote for McCain in the election that really counts.

Joe N   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Hillary's choice to take a Karl Rove approach to the primary campaign has made what was a difficult choice very easy. I, like the majority of Americans, don't like the way the current administration governs and think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Hillary's gotten on the fast track in the same old direction. I for one am dissappointed that she's decided to take this approach. She could have done so much more for the American people.

Sara   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

you know, I never write into these things but I feel the need to respond to this blog. Hillary Clinton is getting nasty and Barack Obama has tried to take the high road more often. Why do we elect people who instead of building themselves up find it more necessary to tear others down. We learn a children not to do that , to hold onto our honor and integrity. This is the very thing this country is trying to get away from. Winning by dirty deeds is a sad state of affairs. Leaders should lead by example. I am a 55 year old white female and I am voting for Barak Obama.

Teresa, Tacoma, WA   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

The only real momentum that Hillary has regained is the support of the media after she complained that she wasn't getting treated fairly. Sorry, you all fell right into that trap! I have to give her credit though, she's good! Just a week ago, the media just couldn't get enough of Obama. It seems like everyone has forgotten that Obama has won 12 in a row. That is now somehow not good enough to the media. I wish you all would just stick to the facts and stop flip flopping so much.

Truthhurts   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer sucks, big time. Go ahead and crown Mrs Clinton just like you and the whole of CNN led America to war.

keg   March 7th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

I am really dissapointed at wolf.How much did hillary give you .You are causing so much damage but he will prevail.Shame on cnn ,I no longer watch you.

Moni   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Strong week...pleeeease. Mrs. Clinton needs to get back on her broom and fly back to New York!

Cheryl in Reno   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

First, I keep hearing how Hilary would win all of the big states in a general election and Obama wouldn't, but I think that is a weak argument. I think almost all of the demecrats who voted for Hillary in the primary WOULD vote for Obama in the general election so he would carry the big states.
Second, I think the Clintons are nasty people, down and dirty and there is nothing they wouldn't do to win. I've never felt that integrity was in their geneic makeup. Obama shouldn't stoop to their level, he is better than that. He can still win.

Jan Lynch   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Thank you, Wolf, for analyzing the news, and not just giving us your opinion all the time. I used to watch MSNBC, but stopped because I really don't care what they personally think; there is way too much opinion in this election year, and we don't even have two nominees yet.!
The elephant in the room seems to me to be (unfortunately): how many Democrats will quietly vote for McCain, rather than vote for a woman or a black man? And we won't know that until it's over.

Nader not looking so bad...   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I think she's got some of her personality mojo back... Too bad her math mojo is still in the hands of Dr. Evil.

Mike   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

It is clear that if the national elections were a caucus and the voters could be intimidated Obama would win because of collective misplaced guilt, but the national elections are not a caucus. It is also clear that Hillary has won the biggest and most important states in free elections. The dems can nominate Obama if they want to and he will lose. Unfortunately Hillary will also lose because all of those with collective guilt and the blacks will desert her. It is a no win situation. We are no longer a nation where free elections are valid in the primaries. I strongly believe the caucus system got us into this situation.

joe   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

WOLF

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FAIR AND BALANCE JOURNALIST..

COMPARED TO JACK...WHO IS ONE OF THE MOST BIAS

JOURNALIST I HAVE SEEN IN MY 85 YEARS...

YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE HILLARY BUT YOU ARE BEING REAL

HILLARY HAS HER MOJO BACK....

Susie from Boca   March 7th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I loved you when you were first lady. I was excited about this primary because I felt we couldn't lose with two candidates like you and Barack Obama.

Since watching you "operate" during this primary, I have changed my mind. I find myself hoping against all hopes that he wins the Democratic party nomination so I can vote for someone whose values I still respect.

Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!! Stick to facts, and forget the slurs, slams, and slanders.

vince   March 7th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Why didn't we just hold votes in the big states if that's all that matters??? Hillary won Texas by 4percent and lost the caucus by 10percent hardly a landslide!!! and Obama will get just as many delagates if not more than Hillary

Jordan   March 7th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Yes, Hillary Clinton has her mojo back! And I think Barack Obama is proving what a politician he really is, and keeping this race close. I have a feeling Hillary will string together the all important wins she needs, and this will come down to Super delegates. Let's face it they are Super for a reason, they should exercise their independent judgment. After all the system was designed for them to exercise their judgment, and these are the people who are able to form their own direct opinions of the candidates, unlike regular Americans who form their opinions through the media.

Lisa   March 7th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Everytime hillary does gain momentom in something,you people still beat her up,down anyway you can,but she is a strong woman and I commend her for that.obama got ataste of his own medicine and you can't stand that either neither is going to have enough delegate to get the nominee on their own and then when the republician take the white house for 4 or 8 more years you will still be complaining now is the time to take back the whitehouse with 2 smart people speaking of obama and hillary the time now is for unity and if your nominee doe'snt win then you people switch to voting for mcclain yourselve you all are hipocrits yourselves,I listen to that butt hole Bush refer to the democats as the enemy in giving support for mcclain this should tell all us democrats something about what's ahead if another republican wins.......so sad

LL King   March 7th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Obama needs to bow out if he loses Penn. For the sake of the party, this needs to be about strategy and not numbers. He cannot win the key swing states necessary to carry the election for the democrats. Do not be naive voters or we'll end up with another republican in November!

Most of people in Ohio have good common sense. Ohio rejects BO. The first choice for Ohio is Hillary and second is McCain.

Harry   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Hilary shouldn't get points for bad behavior and manipulation. In the real world it's called "lying".

Obama Rezko Hillary Connection   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Clinton know Rezko more than she is willing to say....

Why have you not reported that of all the co-defendents in the Rezko trial, three out of the five are connected to Hillary Clinton via large donations (in fact larger than the donations given to Obama). Of course, Hillary's campaign has not returned this money or donated it to charity as Senator Obama has.

Dennis   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

This hasn't been the best week for Obama. However, he had a great month in February. I suspect next week will be better for him. I believe he will win Wyoming and Mississippi. That will make up for any loss in his delegate lead from last Tuesday. Also, I suspect that the media scrutiny is about to focus on Clinton again. Her "experience" is now coming under the microscope. She apparently has her own NAFTA issue to deal with. If I were in Obama's campaign, I'd sit on that until right before the Pennsylvania primary. Hillary has her own ties to Rezko and another case in California (Paul). In addition, Obama is likely the winner of the Texas caucus, and when that is announced, the luster of her Texas win will diminish.

Brian   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Hillary Clinton's politics are disgusting and she's wrong for America.

Wyoming! Mississippi! Pennsylvania! REJECT AND DENOUCE HILLARY CLINTON!

Vote for REAL HOPE and REAL CHANGE in your primaries!

OBAMA '08!!!

Anon   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

This website has become beneath my contempt. There is no journalistic integrity here. I can't believe you would allow an article such as "Defeat Punctures Obama's Bubble" to be published. You are revolting and an embarrasment.

Carmen Cameron   March 7th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

If "mojo" means mean, then you're right. Clinton's got her "mean juice" on and going at it like the energizer bunny. Hillary Clinton represents the absolute WORST in politics (not to mention in humanity in general). Can you imagine 4 years of this harridan in our homes nit-picking everything and constantly changing the rules to suit HER needs? I simply reject this woman's "mojo" (as a woman, I find it humiliating).

LadyC from North Miami Beach Fl   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Mojo??? Yeah right. Frank hit the NAIL on the HEAD!! Why is the Media keeping saying that Hillary has won the BIG States and therefore she can win the WHITE HOUSE?? That is hog wash!!! First of all NO MATTER WHICH Democrate is the Nominee, NY, New Jersey, California and a few others WILL NEVER GO Republican like my home STATE Florida which is a PURPLE STATE...Clinton has won MOST of those "BIG States" because of Name recognition!!!!! Trust me this coming from a once die hard lover of the Clintons especially her hubby Bill, I have seen the LIGHT. Randy Rhodes just broke on her show today that Bill received 10 MILLION DOLLARS from the Saudies. "Ettics anyone"? I digress until next time.

DonnaJH Hemet,CA   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Wolf : Yes! It's wonderful to see her win the states she needed .
Now to Pennsylvania and on to the nomination!

Zehra Hasan   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Wolf,
What is this Blog. An Anit Hillary Website I guess. As much as Obama preaches Hope and Peace and Love(Ewww) to all his maniacs, it seems that all his followers have nothing but bitterness and hatred in them. i have been to other websites as well and comments by Obama maniacs are just that...filled with pure hatred. Dont you think you should atleast follow what your "esteemed leader" is so valiantly trying hard to preach?????

clarity   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Mojo?... not sure. But what ever it is, she's back on her game.
The campaign staff re-shuffle really paid off.

She has shown the mark of a leader – she emerged above, against great odds. This week we see that Obama doesn't sit or perform quite as well when the preasure is really on!

AllCanWin   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

I am sure she will keep her mojo as long as incomplete stories keep getting reported. When will we hear from you about how it was Clinton that worried the Canadians about her stand on NAFTA. My God, don't you guys ever bother to pick up newspaper?

Kristen Ingram   March 7th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Let's see if I have this right: Hilary lost eleven races, then won two. This is getting her mojo back? The press can apparently only look at one candidate at a time, and not at the whole history.

Thin1972   March 7th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

WAKE UP AMERICA! HAVEN’T YOU NOTICE THAT OBAMA HAS A BIG MOUTH (GOOD FOR GOSSIP, NEGATIVE, CRITICISM). ALL HE CAN DO IS BE NEGATIVE. INSTEAD OF MAKING PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, HE IS GOING ON AND ON WITH HOW BAD ARE CLINTON AND JOHN. SOMEBODY PLEASE GETS HIM A MIRROR.

Tammy   March 7th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

OBama gained 4 more delegates from CA and Clinton LOST 4 – any reports on this?

Harry   March 7th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Which is where Obama should announce that he'll run against both of these "politicians" as an INDEPENDENT!

Dan   March 7th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

she would have lost her mojo if she hadn't lied about obama and Canada. A Story from Canadian CTV (their news network) just reported it was her campaign that actually told the Canadian government to take her comments about nafta with a grain of salt.

TN   March 7th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

If someone sets up a fund, donations will pay for the redo of the primaries.
We can redo those primaries as many times as we like; the results will not change.

winter86   March 7th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

You report Sen. Clinton has recaptured her "mojo". I believe she has shown her "real negative,will do anything to win" self. Please address the NAFTA issue in which it's reported that the Clinton campaign telephoned the Canadians and "winked, winked" her position on NAFTA.

roger   March 7th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

We know the game you and your colleagues in the media are playing, I wonder in which sheep's clothing will you hide after the revolution

Tammy   March 7th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Why can't you report the truth about NAFTA? It's now out that the wink wink was the clinton camp and YOU turned it into NATFTAGATE and trashed Sen OBama.

Why not investigate where their tax returns are for the LAST 6YEARS????

metroplex voloto   March 7th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

i can let you imagine how many dems will vote for mc cain if this lady every gets the nomination. i am AMAZED at the consistency of her support, knowing that she will SURELY lose in november. it's mind blowing. i find the whole auto-destruction process fascinating.
to Brandon: it's not hatred. it's just that when you learn about her methods, her past, and bill's past from 2000 to 2007, you freak out.
NO WAY this lady should have an access to the white house, a house she already considers her property. no way.

Dee of AZ   March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Six weeks before Ohio and Texas Hillary had double digit leads over Obama. Three days before election date she's in a dead heat in TX and single digit leads. She goes totally, aggressively negative and still only manages to regain half her original lead in OH and squeaks by in TX. And still only gains 6 new delegates! Come on Blitz! This is MOJO?? No, it's gutter politics . CNN is starting to report like the National Inquirer all flash not substance just reporting whatever titillates.

dave   March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

You are dead on Wolf. She's won every single big state. And if you want to include Missouri in the count, she split that evenly with Obama. I predict she'll take PA without much of a fuss so Michigan and Florida are really important now.

Charlotte   March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Wolf, do the obama-bots sound desperate to you, or is it just me? They know the super delegates have to look at who won the large democratic states. The line in Robin Williams' movie, they are not red states, they are not blue states but the United States. Well you best win some blue states if you want to be the democtatic nominee.

DR   March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Forget the name calling–Where are the tax returns and the Clinton library contributors lists?
I know she's hiding a lot and the REPUBLICANS will find it–just might be too late for Democrats to win!!!

Hilliary, show us your records.

Robert Purdy   March 7th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

I have never been surprised by anything the Clintons say of do or the depths they will stoop to to get what they want as Obama has done in the past couple of weeks. Isn't it ironic that the Clintons had a Canadian leak information that Obama did a "wink, nod" over NAFTA just before the March 5 primaries only to find out after the elections that in actuality it was the Clintons who held the "wink, nod" sessions with the Canadians.

Is "Monster" too harsh a term to use in describing Billary? I would use the Billary logic and ask, "What is your definition of Monster"?

Ash   March 7th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Go Hillary!!!

Why does the Obama camp supporters attack every article that is published for Hillary ?

Leave the media alone .. They have hammered her hard before the primary wins , so she deserves a breather now.

emma   March 7th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

If American voters value integrity Clinton will not win. Also, Hello? Are we not paying attention to the GOP efforts to get Clinton nominated. If she is, the GOP will become a cohesive force behind McCain, not to mention she will lose Democratic votes, especially with her shenanigans to push for wanting to claim that misbegotten votes in Florida and MI belong to her!

I hoped to vote for a Democrat who is a gentleman or lady, but she is no lady.

MD in CT   March 7th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Samantha Power is a Pulitzer Prize winner and a Professor of the Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard. She is
the author of 'A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide':

Maybe we should listen to what she said about Clinton. This was said by a highly educated white women who knows something about the world.

Wake up America!!!

Clinton for President!   March 7th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Obama had a bad week because of his mistakes and the mistakes of his economic adviser (Goolsbee) and two of his foreign affairs advisers (Rice and Power). Gollsbee, Rice, Power et al gave Obama a week filled with wonderfully negative ratings.

Obama's supportors love to wave the sign of change but they bring with it a constant rush of hate and negativity towards Clinton and her supporters.

Clinton is on top and has Obama crazy trying to find his mojo. Problem is that he has lost it.

Clinton for President

You really are one bias Zionist!

Eunice Bedminster   March 7th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Mr. Blitzer
I am beginning to think that you have something against Barack Obama – where is the "major political problem" in the fact that HIllary was referred to as the monster that she is by a high-placed official in Obama's camp.

Those words were along the same that you usd to lead up to the Tony Rezko trial, in The Situation Room, and which, were it not for Jack's candidness, I would not be watching again.

Your bias is showing.

Keri-Texas   March 7th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Steve in NM.

Obama had a good month (Feb.) fueled by the negative media attacks on Clinton, her husband, and her daughter . We wouldn't be in this situation if the media had played fair in the 1st place. I was glad to see them finally put the miscroscope to Barack & Michelle. They loved it when the scrutiny was on Hillary but seem to be acting childish now that its on them.

Andy- Fresno,Ca   March 7th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

ok, a win is a win and she did win Texas!!!!!!

I am for Hillary all the way but you Oboma people are funny. When CNN was all Oboma we didn't hear you talk about the media now that it is more even you are coming from all over.

Hillary can take a hit and keep on going Oboma my need to ask Hillary for some help on how it done.

Go Hillary all the way 2008!!!!

MARIA 2325   March 7th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Wake up real world. High power dont want an on the job training canadate for our leader. The super deligates will go toward the one they know is capable to be qualified and strong for our president. The only one that has knowledge and solutions to bring the real changes our country needs, is HRC .Obama talks good judgement. I hate to tell you all ,it takes experience and know how to make that right judgement call. America needs HRC. She has enough knowledge through her husband and the senate to deal with foreign policies. Who do you think Bush sent overseas to do that job. Bill Clinton and Bush sr. This world should stop being bias against a woman and start thinking about our country.CNN is bias enough and the press.I probably wont get this comment on either. concerned vet

jenn   March 7th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Wolf, will you please quit being such a shill for Sen. Clinton? Your bias is unbecoming to a serious journalist.

Tom Wittmann   March 7th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

SINCE WHEN THE ARGUMENT THAT THE WINNER OF THE LARGE
POPULATION STATES PRESENTS AN ADVANTAGE IN THE ELECTIONS ??

AS LONG AS THE majority of the OVERALL US POPULATION elect THE OTHER CANDIDATE, this IS A CLEAR D I S A D V A N T A G E IN INMIGRANT STATES AS CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK!!

Their inmigrant population, consistent in close knitted national communities, tend to be in a high percentage Democrats, which in
turn lead to lopsided majorities statewiede. But as the winner takes different as in the primaries, the No. electors is the same if the DEMs
reach 51% or 81%, meaning that 30% of the votes are lost from the
nationawide point of view.

Therefore, being the No. of the primary elected delegates more or less proportional to the popular vote, even if two candidates achieve
the same No. of delegates, normally the states won by the candidate
who achieved his outside the large states will bring in more electors
in the presidential elections! This was clearly visible in 1980, when
GORE with more popular vote lost the elections !!

TOM

Bob, Virginia   March 7th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Wolf, you need to get up to speed on the Nafta gate. It was the Clinton Campaign that told the Canadians that she would be saying things to the american people that she did not mean – NOT THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. This information is flowing from the Prime Minister's office and you are still commenting on the Clinton campaign false accusation of the Obama campaign. The press seriously undermined Senator Obama's credibility by allowing Senator Clinton to manipulate the press. Why are you not following the Canadian reporting on this?

Jerry from Oregon   March 7th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Wolf,

no, Hillary hasn't done anything but go negative against an opponent who won't do the same in return. and whenever anyone from Obama's campaign says/does anything even appearing derogatory to Senator Clinton. Her campaign cries 'foul'. remember the 'shame on you' speach in response to Senator Obama's ACCURATE mailers in Ohio.

Hillary hasn't recovered her mojo, she just pulled the gloves off against a political pacifist; unfortunately voters in Ohio and Texas were naive enought to buy it. Something I'm sure they will come to regret in time.

KC Atlanta   March 7th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

These CNN blogs have become "Hillary Haters Unite" blogs!!! Never do I recall such dirty name calling from one democratic primary candidate towards another. It is upsetting and disgusting. Keep it up Obamadon's because the republicans are lovin it.

bill iles   March 7th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Wolf. You are such a tool. For the past months your pro-clinton stance makes you the Hannity of the CNN network. We expect nothing objective coming out of your mouth during the demo race. You used to be a credible newsman. Remember those days?

Kathy   March 7th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Mojo – what mojo? Wolf, are you part of her campaign now? she did not really win the TX primacaucus and she only won OH because she LIED about the whole NAFTA -gate thing and used republican tactics to scare voters. She did not regain her mojo – she took on Karl Rove's personality.

by the way CNN and every other news outlet owes Obama an apology re: NAFTA -gate it is really only a part of the ongoing Clintongate!!!

AK   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Hillary will win this election as Florida and Michigan will revisit their primary. She did not lose Texas, she won the popular vote. Its funny, when Obama wants to talk popular vote as the reason he should get delegates, no one screams but when Hillary talks about winning a state we hear he won the delegates. Make up your mind! She has the experience and the will to beat Mcain. Barack will make a good second in command and perhaps in 8 years he can run for President after Hillary's 8 years in the White House. Thank you Wolf for stating the facts and not walking on egg shells about saying something negative about the young Congressman from Illinois cause we may hurt his feelings.

Tom St. Louis   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Don't you Obama people know how to read?

She won the Texas PRIMARY. The article is talking about primaries.

Also, since you are so focused on the delegate count, then Clinton really came in second in Iowa and not third because she got more delegates than Edwards. But I'm sure you all would still say she came in third, because in Iowa the popular vote matters more right?

And finally, to those that complain about Republicans crossing to vote for Clinton in Texas so she would win...

Let's see how many states featured Republicans crossing to vote for Obama (really voting against Clinton)...Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington state, Wisconsin. Plus all the anti-Clinton Republicans who voted "uncommitted" in Michigan.

So I really don't think there's a comparison...

Andrew King   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer is right. Hillary has gotten her Mojo back. That Mojo of course is lying, cheating, and basically taking an all or nothing approach on the election. Even though it is impossible for her to win the election based on elected delegates, Hillary Clinton would rather go with a scorched earth policy to ensure that if she can't win, no other democrat can either. Hillary is now running alongside McCain echoing his attacks. It almost seems as if she is running for McCain's VP slot.

Sue   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

You Obama supporters make me laugh. You say that Hillary was helped in Texas and Ohio by Republican voters. Who in the world do you think voted for Obama in all those caucuses in the Red States like Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah etc. They voted for him because they knew he would be the weaker candidate against their party in November.

Changing times   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

If she by some way manages to steal this nomination. I will write Obama in.

CW in Dixie   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Wolf,

I think this contest might actually go to November 3. That's the day the Supreme Court will release it's opinion.

bakersfield   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

WOLF, TELL EVERYBODY WHY THE DEMS. HAVE SUPER DELEGATES, EXACTLY FOR THIS SITUATION. SO THEY CAN RIGHT THE CHANGE, ALOT OF PEOPLE GOT STAR STRUCK WITH OBAMAS CARISMA BUT MORE AND MORE IS COMING OUT ABOUT HIM. SO NOW THE SUPERDELEGATES CAN FIX IT IF OBAMA JUST HAPPENS TO BE AHEAD AT THE END. ITS APPARENT WITH NAFTA, REZKO AND THE NEWEST DEVELOPEMENT FROM WHAT HIS ADVISER SAID ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR. MAYBE HIS SPEECHS ARE BEST CASE SCENARO, SUPERDELEGATES WILL HAVE TO GO TO HILLARY BECAUSE HES NOT WHAT HE PREACHS.

Ranger01   March 7th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Unfortunately, we have lost our minds feeding into all the politics. I am concerned with the economy, I do feel as though we can take back our status and also get along with warring countries.

Why keep adding fuel to the fire? HRC, should be focusing on what she states, so her words won't end up being a misstatement or so other excuse later on. I take offense to the media that feeds into the insults of non whites. Superior Complexes! Isn't this type of non sense why we are in wars and the US hated.

All one need to do is listen, that's the foundation of understanding. Yes, I know why I am backing Obama. He represents what I and what we all should be teaching our youth. After all, how can HRC bring all cultures together when she demeans our very being.

And why are HRC supporters backing her? She has proven herself to be a liar, a crook, and a cry baby.

Derrick   March 7th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Hillary is a FIGHTER! I LOVE the "right hook" she gave to Obama on Tuesday!!!

There is more where that came from!

For those Obama supporters, ask yourself, do you really support him or just hate her?

SC Native   March 7th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

You Obama supporters are FOOLS. Let the record show, Hillary won 6 more delegates than Obama in Texas. The Obama supporters need to take math 101. Hillary will win the White house.

Sharita   March 7th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Clinton won 3 states that she was expected to win. What is the big deal! Why don't we look at how she couldn't maintain her huge lead in Texax and Ohio and how Obama received just as many if not more delegates than her. No one is talking about how Obama almost beat her in Texas where just a few weeks ago she had a huge lead.

Peggy Dignan   March 7th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

How is it that someone calls Hillary a monster and it is never played, yet we had to see Obama dressed in his Kenyan dress over and over and over. Talk about bias. She says the news is picking on her and now they are bending over backwards to play up to her. C'mon be fair

Jon, Pittsburgh, PA   March 7th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

You Obama supporters are the worst losers I have every seen! Your guy lost this week, face it and move on. But, please stop your tired and baseless personal attacks, they make you look more and more like a gang of thugs.

Erick   March 7th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Obama Maniacs...quit saying he won Texas.... His causus tactics were questionable, if not unethical. His supporters even chased a Dallas City Councel woman to the police station. Obama caucus voters entered buildings and locked the doors behind them, not allowing the Clinton supporters to participate. It was all documented by the press...Obama will be exposed for his Chicago strong armed tactics taught to him by the Chicago political fixer "Tony Rezco." Google Rezco and and research it yourself. We even had a young woman from NH with an Obama shirt on attempting to push he wieght around. My suggestion is US senate hearings to review irregularities throughout all of the caucus events that have transired in 15 states.

Floridian   March 7th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Puh-lease. We all know, thanks to the million delegate calculators out there, that she can't win. The DNC can't pay, Florida and Michigan won't pay, and so if anything you would get a caucus and not a new primary in those two states.

HRC is only in it at this point for 1 of 2 reasons: demanding a VP slot at the end because that is the only way to purportedly unite the dem party that is being ripped apart by this race; or to bloody Obama up so much that he can't win against McCain and she can run in 2012 on the "I told you so" ticket.

This is NOT NEWS, CNN. Quit the spin and cut the bull.

Diane   March 7th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

I cannot figure out WHY the Clinton's have been allowed to circumvent rules AND GET AWAY WITH IT. If someone called Hillary a "monster" I can see why. You call this a democracy????? Also their income taxes, and all of the other dirt. I hope Howard DEAN STICKS TO HIS GUNS. Florida and Michigan knew the rules amd went ahead anyway. I've also noticed CNN has been showing alot more of Hillary's face on newscast and showing Obama in negative ways. Come on people!!! Do you really want a Clinton in the White House? Discusting!!!

Zehra Hasan   March 7th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

After raising and spending twice the amount of money that Hillary Clinton did, and expecting to finish the race this tuesday, Barrack obama lost. That is the simple truth. She won the popular vote in Texas. And please dont keep on repeating that Barrack Obama is ahead in Delegates. that would be settled once Florida's delegates are counted. And they will be counted one way or another and then we will see who is ahead in Delegates. No wonder Obamamanias are so keen to get this over with. Because the longer it goes on, the longer the spot light on Barrack and the greater the chance that his "transparent" and "Ethical" campaign will truly reveal its colours. Atleast HIllary Clinton never made any false claims to be holier than everyone else in Washington.

Calip   March 7th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

You are a woman hater i am trying not to switch to fox. Msnbc should hire you, you would fit in well. Please it is starting to really show you are against Hillary Clinton. Please back off.

sw   March 7th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Obama supporters were called well-educated group, it doen't look like this to me, or maybe these so called Obama supporters are just some hired guns, getting paid to shout some insane words on the web. you surppose to leave your "comment" here, but you people just write some insulting words here whenever a news comes out, no substance at all, do you realize this gonna turn people away? make people think Obama himself may just like you?

Roland Madore, Fort Collins, CO   March 7th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Wolf, you keep pedaling this Canadian-Obama-NAFTA stroy, yet my sources tell me the CBC now says it was the Clinton campaign that did this. Hunt it down, would you, please?

akinsola   March 7th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

It seems to me that only Obama clearly understands the full meaning of democracy as the will and choice of the people. However Hillary's understanding is totally the opposite.Thinking like we are stll in the Roman Era. From Bush to Clinton, Clinton to Bush. Now Bush to Clinton again and next will be Jeb Bush before Chelsea Clinton. This totally a complete Demstration of craziness.

gaellis   March 7th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Bloggers, let's at least be civil with each other. This is a race for the President of the United States of America, the greatest country in the world. Why can't we encourage each canditate to stay focused on the issues and also encourage them to talk about how they plan to solve them. Instead of all of the OBAMA & HILLARY bashing going on, let's try to be civil with one another. The Republicans are loving this....Let's stay focused on the Republicans. They are the ones that we should be fighting........LET'S PUT A DEMOCRAT BACK IN OUR WHITE HOUSE !!! Remember, the world is watching (and so are the Republicans) !!

Love and Peace to all my Democratic brothers and sisters, especially the young ones....Let's show the world why the USA is #1....

Love Ye One Another.....

Claire   March 7th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

As for negative advertising, lest we forget that Mr. Obama started it with that big brother parody of the Super Bowl Apple ad about 1984 with Hillary as big brother. That was by far the most negative ad of the campaign.

Taiwo Lee   March 7th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I think all these Media-spin about Clinton winning Texas should stop. HOW DO YOU WIN A STATE ??? I thought its all about having the highest numbers of total pledge delegates from the STATE. ?? which look or seems to be in favour of OBAMA after when the caucaus results are fully released and then added up to the primary result; its only then we will know who really win the state of Texas. HILLARY & the MEDIA wake up and face the reality .. Its the numbers from the state that determines the winner.

OBAMA '08

Sad Democrat   March 7th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Hillary is destroying the Democratic party for non-boomers like myself. She says the press is biased, screams misogyny and suddenly the press believes everything that she says. Please investigate how Obama got that call from Canada in the first place. Can you say set up? Saying that Obama's supporters, who have registered in record numbers, will vote for her in November is an illusion. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

Wheres your tax records hillary?   March 7th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Jan in MI   March 7th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Why do Obama supporters hate Hillary Clinton so much?

Calling her a monster, was a big deal.

I thought Obama was all about doing the right thing....sounds like it to me. Is this what he is all about.

t-bone   March 7th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Is this a delegate contest or a spin contest. Because all the math I've seen shows Obama is unbeatable even if there is a re-vote in Michigan and Florida.

She wouldn't be pushing for a joint ticket if the math showed her ahead.

Hillary won't be on the ticket, she's too busy burning bridges.

Has she got her Mojo back? Maybe we should ask Bill...

Cecil St. Jules   March 7th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Your Clinton bias keeps showing. Obama comes from way behind to get parity in Texas. THIS IS THE REAL STORY. Hillary was ahead in Texas for months.

Frank in Missouri   March 7th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

I must say, I quit watching Wolf's show for a while now ... his Clinton bias is too obvious, especially with this James Carville guy in the show. But then again, he is a moderator, not a journalist – so I guess he does the best he can (or the best he is told).

Red States Won't Go Blue   March 7th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Of the eleven core Republican states that have gone to the polls, Sen. Obama has won ten: Utah, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, South Carolina, Georgia, and Louisiana.

Senator Obama argues that his success in Democratic primary contests held in long-time Red States means he will carry those states in a general election. In reality, there are no “Red States” in a Democratic primary – there are only Democratic voters who live in Republican states and represent a small percentage of the general election population.

The states with large populations count more; California, New York, Texas, Ohio, (Florida and Michigan). He did win one big state, Illinois.

Enough of Obama   March 7th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I am sick of Obama, Obama, Obama, I hope Hillary get hers mojo and everyone elses to win this election and sending him packing. He is no one and has never been anything. Wake up America,

Virginia   March 7th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

The November election is a real election. It's not a caucus. So good luck to anyone who depends so much on caucuses for victories. Most people agree that caucuses discrimate against older and sick voters and those who work at night. She won the popular vote in Texas, which was a fair representation of state voters. Any Texan who got caught up in those chaotic Texas caucuses that were obviously rife with fraud knows how unfair they were and that they did not represent ALL the voters of Texas.

Just Say NO!!!   March 7th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

America wake up!!! "Don't get fooled again".... The Clintons were, are and always will be in it for themselves. They will say anything to get back in power while they believe in nothing.

Obama is ready to lead us to a new future however if we as a country are swallow enough to be tricked into eight more years of Billary... we deserve it!

Stop and think about it!

brettjay   March 7th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

OKAY, WOLF!! "regains mojo" So when Hillary wins a net gain of delegates equivalent to Democrats abroad, THAT'S MOJO?!?! Your words, not mine! HAHA

Blu   March 7th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

The caucus process is, by it's very nature, suited for Obama supporters. How many blue collar workers, mothers, elderly and disabled voters (aka Clinton supporters) can go vote in the primaries and then go to a caucus in the evening? This all day affair is perfect for college kids, young upscale urbanites and business owners (aka Obama supporters). A person's voice in the political process should not be based on physical endurance, ability to secure a babysitter or flexible work schedule.

Tubby The Tuba   March 7th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

STOP saying she won Florida and Michigan. She most absolutely did NOT.

Haley Rodman Clemson   March 7th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Clintons are on their game when they are attacking. Once Barack gets into a patter of hitting back, it's Hillary's world and she will win.

Anthony, CA   March 7th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

"OBAMA WON MORE DELEGATES IN TEXAS, SO HE WON TEXAS. IT'S ABOUT DELEGATES!"

aww...the old george w bush argument. if hillary loses the texas caucuses she can call into question every caucus that obama won and she can say that when EVERYONE had a chance to vote she won those primaries. the superdelegates are not going to give obama the nomination just because he won the caucuses in alaska and hawaii. if he loses pennsylvania, he is done.

pnr   March 7th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

The caucus system should be BANNED in all the states. Voting should be one vote per person in a PRIMARY. This is FAIR and more people get to participate, especially if the states have early voting. Caucuses sound out-dated. We're in the 21st century.

There needs to be more uniformity in the rules. Why do some states have different rules? Primaries. Caucuses. Only Democrats can vote. Anyone can vote. It's ridiculous and confusing. DNC are you listening?

There’s been a suggestion that primaries should be held by dividing the country into 4 regions and each region voting on separate dates. This sounds like a GOOD idea. It would be less costly and less time consuming for the candidates.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT !!!

Dee Olson   March 7th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Have Americans forgotten the type of politics Hill-Billy Clinton is best known for? Scandel is their middle name! The Clintons are the BIGGEST crooks & liars in the history of this country! They abuse their power to the hilt & have for 35 years! That's the only experience she has. The political history of the Clintons is filled with lies & deception. Go to YouTube and Google "Bill and Hillary Clinton Exposed" and you'll think you’re reading about the worst monsterous mafia figures in our history!

Bewitched   March 7th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

To all you ladies that sound like you could eat hillary out of her paintsuit..... This woman just put the chances of a woman being in power of the whitehouse back perhaps decades with her unlady like behavior... I being a lady myself thought it was awesome that a lady finally gets a chance to advance the rights of women, And to show the world the way a lady could correct the wrongs of the male ruled washington... And she's blown it...... Thanks for nothing hillary....

Tubby The Tuba   March 7th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

From reports here in Houston, TX, we hear that a quarter of a million Republicans voted in the Democratic primary. I guess that is why Obama will end up with the most delegates to Win TEXAS. Hillary can thank Rush for that little idea. Hillary may be the best Republican running for President of the USA. That explains why she managed to win by 3 points.

Sandra   March 7th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I can tell you this, as an independent I will vote republican straight down the ticket rather than let Hillary get into office with the House and Senate Democrat. I know alot of Independents that feel the same. Hillary supporters, please don't take this to heart, the reality is that there is an anti-Hillary vote out there. We don't have great memories of the good ole Clinton days. Our memories are filled with court cases and scandals. I have additional reasoning for not trusting them by their actions in this primary and their refusal to release information that would allow her to be properly vetted.

Bubba   March 7th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Woman in Wyoming..   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

It was a strong week for HRC because of her negativism..her highlighting Nafta-gate...and when all was said..it was HER campaigne that called the CANANDIANS... why aren't the news media covering that...
What about her illigal campaigne financing fiasco..going on now in Calif. with Peter Paul...Google Paul vs Clinton and see...
Rezko is small potatoes compared to the millions she tried to hide..
Come on people wake up...come on Media cover the news that points to her ethical standards..or lack thereof...

John   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Haha..this isn't actually supposed to be objective, is it?

Hillary lost Texas and gained no delegates on Obama on March 4.

Nice try to confuse the voters though

Mike Brian PA   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

LOL, just read those Obama fans’ venomous comments about cnn. It seems O fans are never appreciating what cnn did to help Obama’s campaign. In all fairness, 83% of cnn’s news on Obama from Dec 07 to Feb 08 is positive. And the O fans are still complaining… what a bunch of losers they are!!!

Heather from Pitt   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Why is nobody reporting on the real culprit behind the Canadians and NAFTA?!! Clinton is not that smart; anybody can lie to win a state. It takes a real candidate, with real political talents to win the nomination. Remember what Obama said, "...not now, not this time." Our voices will be heard!

Juan   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Yes, it is History month let's burry her together with her campaign!!!!!
Give yourself some respect and don't call this thing a women. My mother is a hard working women, I will save the respect for her.

Wheres your tax records hillary?   March 7th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

HEY WOLF.....HILLARY ONLY CAME OUT OF THE MARCH 4TH

PRIMARY WITH ONLY GAINING 4 DELEGATES (FOUR) 4 !! AND

YOU SAY SHE GOT HER MOJO??? YOUR KIDDING RIGHT? FOUR

DELEGATES DOES NOT MAKE HILLARY ANY BETTER THAN SHE

STOOD WHEN OBAMA ROUTED HER 12-0

WHAT DID YOU SAY WHEN OBAMA WON 12

(TWELVE) STRAIGHT CONTESTS FROM HER?? DID HE TOO

HAVE HIS MOJO ? I'D CALL IT A

ROUTE!! I'D SAY HE HAS HAD THE MOJO FOR QUITE SOME

TIME!! ARE YOU NOT AWARE THAT HE STILL LEADS IN

DELEGATES? ARE YOU NOT AWARE THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE

U.S. WANT BARACK AS PRESIDENT AND NOT HILLARY? CLEARLY

YOU CANNOT BE OUT OF TOUCH AS NOT TO NOTICE THE

PEOPLE WANT AND CHOSE OBAMA
.
DELEGATE LEAD AND WINNING 12 STRAIGHT PRIMARY

CAUCUSES IN A ROW?

YOUR BIAS IS SHOWING WOLF, STICK TO

THE RACE NOT YOUR LIKINGS IN IT.

Joe   March 7th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Hillary will win in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is a closed primary - only Democrats can vote so no independents and Republicans can flock in and vote for Obama or Clinton. If Florida is done over, it is a closed primary - only Democrats. Clinton will win in Florida because she will easily win the Latino vote, women and voters over 50. Obama only has a shot in Michigan if a revote takes place but expect Clinton to fight hard in Michigan like she did in Ohio. Michigan is an open primary – all can vote so Obama has the advantage with independents and Republicans.

Cheryl   March 7th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I'm not sure if Clinton has recovered her "mojo" or not, but I'm very concerned on a day when it's been announced that 63,000 jobs were lost and 900,000 homeowners are in danger of losing their homes that one of the top stories is an Obama advisor calling Clinton a "monster". Grow up already!

Brandon   March 7th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

To Mike Tosner:

Can you please tell me how or why you think Obama won Texas?? The votes from the caucus are still being counted and in the Primary she won by almost 100,000 votes...

Or are you saying that the popular vote doesn't matter to Obama supporters any more? It was just a month ago when every Obama supporter (and his campaign) was PREACHING about having the popular vote.

andrew jones   March 7th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Wolf, what mojo?...you sound just like one of those Hillary's uneducated voters.

Mike, Toronto   March 7th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Also thanks to you, Wolf; CNN gave her about twice the exposure it gave Obama, and declared her a winner in Texas even though Obama may end up getting more pledged delegates here. Good for you, this is the true Clintonian spirit.

Roger from Arkansas   March 7th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Hey Wolf! I like your blog. You tell it like it is. You said something positive about Hillary and you get all these nasty responses.

Obama is supposed to inspire people? To me it sounds like Obama inspires the worst attitudes.

Kristin   March 7th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Wolfie clearly panders to the Clintons. When he was a debate moderator, he let Clinton spew on and on....and then cut off Obama (for a commercial break) when he could have made a great slam back. Obama won Texas in delegates, and that is what counts.

I find it very difficult to watch Wolfie's segments because of his over the top bias.

delphine   March 7th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

It's really funny to read all your comments, because only a few days ago, CNN was accused of being biased in favor of Obama ! So will you stop blaming Wolf Blitzer for doing his job ? He has perfectly summed up the situation : HILLARY has got the momentum. You simply can't ignore this.
Moreover, I simply wonder how Obama supporters expect him to win in November whereas so far, almost all his victories were won in strongly red states, which will never vote for a Democrat. And finally, he really does not deserve the nomination if he is not able to win in the most populated states : remember, in November, it is in these states that you find the biggest number of Electors !

laurie   March 7th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

For some reason the cnn moderator will not let my posts be posted. Please google Paul vs. Clinton fraud case!!!

Check out youtube video of "Hillary uncensored"!!!

Please cnn post this. You should step up and report on these in your broadcasting. Why all the hush, hush???

JR, PA   March 7th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Wolf, you finally made me smile! You definitely got this one right – HILLARY GOT HER MOJO BACK! Now, can you talk more about Obama's IRAQ plan? He now Flip-Flopping on his plan about IRAQ!
What a loser act on behalf of Sen.Obama's camp to call a duly elected Senator and Former First Lady a monster. That tells me what kind of person Sen. Obama really is. I am really scared to see Sen. Obama aswering that 3 a.m. phone call because I don't trust him to do the right thing. Good job Wolf!

SB   March 7th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Obama is speaking from both sides of his mouth. First NAFTA and now Iraq. At least we know what we will be getting if Hilary becomes President, So much for change and hope. Just give him time.

Mike Tosner   March 7th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

"Why is it that Obama supporter’s are so hateful towards Hillary Clinton?"

There is no path to the nomination for Clinton that does not result in a shattered party and eventual Nov loss.

Even with FL and MI do overs Clinton is not going to catch him in pledged delegates.

Distressed Voter   March 7th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

I find the journallism standard in this country have dipped to bottom of the barrel lows.

No mention of Clinton's campaign winking to Canada on NAFTA, then blaming Obama.

No mention of the lack of tax returns, or that the Clinton Library is in fact purposely keeping Presidental papers from going public during these primaries.

No mention of the fact that Power said something wrong, and was promptly fired for it (not to mention she apologized). No claim that this is in fact how government SHOULD work.

Yeah...I can definately see how the press is giving Obama a "free ride" and is just picking on Clinton. Way to fail at your job.

ABG   March 7th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Most of Obama's states he won were from caucuses and smaller states. Pennsylvania will only have Democrats voting. Hillary will win PA. because she has the credentials. Obama has no baggage because he has not done anything to show he can deliver effective change. He cannot even manage his campaign staff and was quick to say she was not a paid employee. She had been working for him for years. He needs to be VP!

Lydia   March 7th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I am getting so sick of Wolf and the Clinton News Network. Everything she does is viewed in a positive light. What happened to real, unbiased journalism?

Ovitshio Branco   March 7th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

!!!
: You know what would be a good idea – producing a program once a month entitled – “American History Night”. Keith Olbermann would be ideal as host.
People in this country haven’t a clue. Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill Cunningham, Ann Coulter, Wolf Blitzer and their ilk. What’s dangerous is the following they have. From what I read on these threads, I can’t believe how ignorant people are in this country. What happened?
Last night, Sean Hannity reminded me of the Judge in Berlin in 1944 when he tore into defendants who were accused of trying to kill Hitler. They never had a chance to answer the accusations.
Sean Hannity, just what is your problem? Barrack Obama has distanced himself from Louis Farrakhan. Your guest told you those 15 times last night. Weren’t you listening? No, of course not.
Let’s be clear here – Louis Farrakhan is not running for president. Barack Obama’s church leader is not running for president.
Your bigotry and hatred is showing Sean. It was on full display last night. Congratulations.

aware   March 7th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Hillary the HOPE of 08 and the smart choice! Yes, we will! :)

Barack is losing his cool but he can run again in 8 years. Maybe by then he will be ready? That could give the Dems 16 years – whats so bad about that?

Lou   March 7th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Unfortunately folks this is politics in our beloved country. HRC splits the delegates on the day she pronounced to meet her in Texas and meet her in Ohio. She won both popular votes primarily due to the release of the memo from Canada which as it turns out the HRC staff was also in contact with them. Of course they'll deny this until the culprit comes to light and then they will throw he/she under the bus. The bottom line is that she lost Texas & Vermont and won Ohio & Rhode Island. So a split puts her back on top, I think not ... Nice try Wolf.

Lynne B   March 7th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Mojo? haha. She used a fear bomb, (her 3am ad) she lied about Canada since it now is obvious it was her campaign who was doing the back door wink wink nudge nudge thing with the Canadians Fact is mojo or no mojo – unless she can somehow buy this nomination with all the money that those of us with inquiring minds would love to know how the Clintons acquired, she's done and you can poke a fork in her – the numbers don't work period .

Bob G.   March 7th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Don't you wish this circus was color blind and all the clowns had make up on so you couldn't distinguish their sex , race, or color of their skin.

So ask the questions:

Would women be voting for HRC if she weren't a woman.

Would men be voting for BO if he weren't a man

Would whites be voting for HRC if she weren't a white

And would Blacks be voting for BO if he weren't black (well half black and half white technically speaking)

Need to look at the real issues – Economy, national security, and terrorism (Iraq).

Who would be the best President without regards to race, color, sex, religion, etc.

Still think Florida and Michigan should have a re count the same way they had their first election. No money spent, No campaigning, no tv or radio, no pep rallies – just American people exercising their God given right to vote! It's our FUTURE (short and long term)

Fernandez   March 7th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

The time is now for Obama to bow out, he has shown bad judgement in picking is advisors. What will he do as President? The so-called uniter will be the divider

After further review,Texas   March 7th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

The three teams left in the race are now disqualified for cheating,lying and taking bribe money.The election should be canceled until new and trustworthy players can take the field.

Annie   March 7th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Hillary Clinton and McCain say they have experience, but we can’t trust their judgment. We cannot forget that we are still in this war they helped get us into because of their judgment. The women have to remember that it’s their husbands and son’s who are fighting. If Hillary fought Bush about going into this war instead of allow it as hard as she is fighting Obama, maybe we would not be at war. Taking someone else word is not enough, with all their so call experience it did help them make the right decision on the war. They should
have done their own investigation. I don’t trust their judgment.

hillary clinton, go away. if you win the nomination i will sell my soul and vote republican.

Bayou Joe   March 7th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Mojo, Chuspa, Gutsy, Cojones, Yep she has them all. Great presidential material. Hillary over Obama any time. Keep on going. Don't let these Obama fools take it away from you. Hispanics will deliver for you in November, TX, CA, AZ, NM, CO, NV, UT, FLA, NY
Can't lose with those states. Oh I almost forgot OHIO.

Harvey   March 7th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Obama supporters can yell as loud as they want but he will not have enough delgates for the nomination...and neither will Clinton..thats a fact...now if and when Fl and Michigan delgates are counted Obama can go back on the basketball court...

brianr   March 7th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Wasn't she the only candidate on the Michigan ballot? She's obnoxious.

mbs   March 7th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

With friends/advisers like Rezko, Power and that NAFTA-economic adviser, Obama doesn't need enemies. They're doing more damage to him than the opposition will.

Hey, this is the fight for the Presidency...it will be tough, it will be messy...get used to it Obama supporters...grow a thick skin and stop acting like 20-something over-indulged spoiled brats.

JR, PA   March 7th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

How come James Carville is not on Sen. Clinton's entourage? He seems like a very smart man, Sen. Clinton can use him on her campaign. So far, he was correct on all his predictions or opinions.
Good job Mr. Carville. Go all the way to the White House Hillary!

Lopez   March 7th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I just viewed Senator Obama making a speech in Montana. Am I the only one who hears how he changes his voice? Depending on if he's in front of a minority crowd or white crowd? Now that he is getting more of the Black vote, his voice sounds more like MLK. But in Montana, his voice changed without the preacher slang. Whats that about?

Jeff   March 7th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

if by "recaptured her mojo" you mean the media is bending over backwards for her, then yes she has. its really pathetic how easily you (the media) are manipulated.

Darth Vadik, CA   March 7th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Hillary will do anything to get John McCain elected.

Marko, Chicago IL   March 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Hey Wolf, she will have less delegates from Texas than Obama. How is that a victory for the monster?

Karen   March 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

HIllary is splitting the party by actually stating that John McCain is more experienced in foreign policy than Barack! Whether that is true or not should be up to the OTHER party to discuss, not Hillary who will DO or SAY ANYTHING to get elected. Have we all forgotten the drama of the Clinton years and scandal after scandal????? Bill Clinton said himself years ago that we the voters should not trust the candidate that talks only about fear and tries to diminish HOPE. Sound familiar?? I wish Barack would put THAT in one of his commercials.

Michael in CA   March 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

The Superdelegates seem as if they can't agree on what to do, but the controversy is simple...Superdelagates should follow the guidelines provided by the DNC. If these guidelines are so controversial they should be changed in time for the next presidential election. However, when appionted they new what they were expected to do with their vote.

Darth Vadik, CA   March 7th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

I guess we'll see the stuff that is coming out about Clinton in the next few days, we'll see if she still has her "mojo"

"yeah baby, yeah" – Austin Powers

tsr   March 7th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

The race is NOT over until one of the Democratic candidates gets the 2,025 delegates needed.

I am happy Hillary won 3 state primaries Tuesday and is staying in the race. She is the most qualified to be President and I will continue to support her all the way to the white house.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT !!!

Patrice   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Wow HRC has done quite well and thanks Wolf for covering this 2008 campaign and Hillary with excitement, enthusiasm and obvious bias. During the last month on this campaign I would rush home from work to turn on the Situation Room. I particulariy enjoyed watching you, Jack Cafferty and Lou Dobbs while I didn't always agree with Lou. Fact is, at least Lou doesn't hide or masquerade what he feels or thinks. I truly enjoyed watching you every single day until it was so obvious who you support. And it is certainly your right to support HRC but as a professional and reporter with your own show, can you at least pretend to give equal coverage with the same amount of respect as you give Mrs. Clinton. Viewers give you that respect every time they tune in to your show.

Sherylanne   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Wolf, to quote Eleanor Roosevelt....

"A WOMAN IS LIKE A TEA BAG. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW STRONG SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT HER IN HOT WATER".

And this is one strong woman!!

lavern   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

We say how Super Delegates will conduct themselves when the Rep. from Ohio spoke on Dan Abrams last night. She clearly stated that she is holding out to get the best deal that she can for Ohio. Dan reminded her that SD's are not to use deals to determine the nomination. She said she did not care. He reminded her that as a Congressman woman that was ok but as a Super Delegate her responsibility is to choose the most electable candidate. This Rep. said no way would she change her mind and constantly repeated that she's holding out until one of the Candidates promises her want she wants. Interesting even though Sen. Clinton won Ohio, this Super Delegate won't pledge to her. Now the Ohio Rep finall confirmed how the Super Delegate game is played in smoke filled rooms with everyone looking for the best deal, in other words buying favors. The DNC cannot distance itself from the Rep she said it and she said she's sticking to it. How sad.

Curious   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

She has recaptured her mojo, thank you Wolf! Obama doesn't want those votes to count in Florida and Michigan because he's afraid Clinton will still get those states, otherwise, what's he worried about? He must be scared because the fact is, he looks bad for saying millions of people's votes shouldn't count and their voices shouldn't be heard. So when he still thinks we shouldn't count even knowing this, it has to be fear. What else could it be?

I'm in Florida, and I can tell you that I knew when the date was to vote and I went and voted. I wasn't watching the news as much then ad had no idea our votes didn't count. To me, it was business as usual. You can bet many others would tell you the same thing. I was excited when I voted and let everyone know I had voted. Independents were complaining because they weren't allowed to vote, you had to be Rep or Dem to vote. There was no talk of "it doesn't matter since it doesn't count anyway."

If it didn't matter, if it didn't count, if we wasted millions of dollars knowing it didn't count, what was the point? After the fact, I start watching the news more again because word was out that the dem side was fighting and bickering back and forth and I turned i on to see what it was all about. Then I hear "it doesn't count."

Barack needs to say we matter. He needs to say Florida and Michigan deserve to be heard from too. If he doesn't... and if he does make it to November... YOU CAN BET HE WILL LOSE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN BY A LANDSLIDE.

facts are facts...

Leah, PA   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Really? are you that surprised?
I never thought Obama stood a chance to win this election...

William - North Carolina   March 7th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Wolf,

Your JOY betrays you in Clinton's "mojo."

Come on Wolf, at least give the appearance of fairness!!!!!!!

Today, you ask on the air, "Can Obama afford another slip up?" (Referring to the now resigned aide). However, I NEVER heard you ask that question when Obama was referred to as a "fairy tale, a Black like Jesse Jackson that couldn't win, a candidate that White people would not support (Penn. Govenor), Carl Rove, George Bush and Ken Starr." Where is your chagrin over those miscues?

Also, you have failed to lift up the fact that it was a Clinton aide that started the Canada-NAFTA-GATE and blamed Obama. If Clinton wins...get ready for at least four years of this divisiveness... it is all they know. It is their specialty.

Mike Tosner   March 7th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

"Her campaign could have easily collapsed if she had lost the primaries in Texas and Ohio. He had all the political momentum going for him. Now, having won those two states plus Rhode Island,..."

WOLF! NEWS FLASH SHE LOST TEXAS.. WHEN WILL THIS BE REPORTED!

The Limbaugh spoilers may have skewed the TX primary slightly but they did not have motivation to stick around for the caucus.

Her Big Confetti night yielded a grand total of .......(drum roll)... 6 whole delegates!!! YAY YAY It's a close race now!

OBAMAGATE   March 7th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT obamagate JUST DID IT AGAIN just off the 12:00noon CBC NEWS CANADA he just reaffirmed that CANADA does not need to fear his OHIO NAFTA rhetoric at the TIMM RUSSERT MEET THE PRESS DEBATE

He just told Harper CANADIAN PM that it's wink wink business as usual its wink wink all over again

Brandon   March 7th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Why is it that Obama supporter’s are so hateful towards Hillary Clinton?

Nita   March 7th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Please report the facts about NAFTA, voters have a right to know. This is huge issue, why aren't you reporting the facts???

Azar   March 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Well, with the help of the Canadian government, and the media, Senator Clinton's dirty tricks have paid off. In doing so, she may have won the battle, but lost the war. In fact, by praising Senator McCain and insulting Senator Obama, she has damaged her own party's chance of winning in November no matter which one of them gets the nomination.

Finally, should she get the nomination through super delegates, then the Democrats will risk losing the majority in the House and the Senate in addition to her loss.

Sabrina, Las Vegas, NV   March 7th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Wolf,

We all know you're a Hillary supporter, you can start wearing your go Hillary hat and buttons, now....

Independent for Obama!

serah   March 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

It seems to me that Hillary would rather a REPUBLICAN to be the next president and no other democrat if she can not be the one? this is self centered politics and this what i can refer to as negative. Why should she support a Republican in place of her own party? what is the motivation behind that?

Belle   March 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

This election has been heading to the superdelegates all along....

A smart Obama would ask Clinton to be VP...although he is showing himself to be not too smart these days....

If Obama wins....20% of the Democratic Voters will vote for McCain.
If Clinton wins...10% will cross to McCain....

Most of the STATES Obama has won will vote Republican.

Yes...he carried Idaho 11K Democrats in C. vs. 30K Republican

Mark   March 7th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Clinton's win in Ohio can be credited to her lies about NAFTA. Her campaign was responsible for the remarks made to the Canadian officials. This is how she got her "mojo" back. How pathetic. I pray that Obama wins!

janie   March 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

How safe is America with Tinkerbell (Barack) going around the backs of the America people whispering that what he really will do with regard to NAFTA and Withdrawing Troops From Iraq is just "campaign rhetoric", necessary to get him elected?
Shame on you, Barack. You're worse than POLITICS-AS-USUAL!

Justin   March 7th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Hey Wolf, biased much?

Also Obama won Texas.

Sabelo Bbela   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Why Hillary’s Red Phone Experience Is Irrelevant
The United States is the most powerful country on earth and who ever becomes president will have all its resources behind them. Its all about judgment of how that next president would use those resources. I truly believe Obama has the right vision and judgment to use those resources wisely.
There is no doubt that the Clintons will again divide the country re-fighting the impeachment debate and are out to get even to those who were out to impeach Clinton. It will be another back to divided country again under Clinton.

Sarah, Canadian   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

What mojo? Hillary needs to win big on Tuesday and she did not plus Republicans voted for her so the Democratic race would drag on and on ...while McCain have time to prepare and raise money and use the same kitchen sink to wash her laundry in later. Hillary will sink in all garbage they have on her.

Carol   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Dear Wolf,

Your Clinton bias seems to be showing– calling the "monster" remark from Samantha Power a "blunder" is simply your opinion. There is a growing number of Democrats who agree that the Clinton tactics are monstrous.

NC   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I'm so tired of this political process.....every day it's something eles negative from the Clinton camp. There is no character or integrity from her or her supporters. Lie and cheat to get whatever you want.

lavern   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Many of us in Florida played by the rules. Many did not vote because we were told it would not count anyway. Many voted. The rules are the rules. We teach our kids to follow the rules. Now the media comes along and want to change our rules nation-wide by continually pushing for what many of the voters disagree with. The media interviews Governors, Senators, but not the everyday voters and it's our collective decisions that count. Even if they spend the money to re-do many of us in Florida and Michigan will just either sit this one out or cross over to the Republican. We will not reward Bad Behavior! The media, the governor, the Senators, the delegate’s can have all the conversations continuously, but we the voters will speak come election in the fall. Changing the rules will not yield Sen. Clinton a victory because she did not follow the rules. The voters, many are not concerned with a redo. We are done. It's over. The media has not factored in the voter response; Sen. Clinton has not factored in voter response. She will loose the war because many will simply stay at home in the fall regardless of what decision is made or we will become independents or perhaps Republicans. The media and the politicians would do well not to count out the voter’s decisions. No matter what the politicians decide the final results are in our hands and we will exercise our rights to Not Break The Rules! So Media just keep having all these discussions with the politicians, the voters will rule and no one’s asking our opinion. However, we will weigh in in the fall.

skh4450IL   March 7th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Are you kidding me? The only thing she has going is negative campaigning and a media/press thats afraid of her. So you all are her mojo!! Stand in the gap Obama! We will not stoop to her level!!!

Obama '08

Alecki   March 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Clinton has had the momentum.
Obama has the money.

Sabrina, Las Vegas, NV   March 7th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Wolf,
Before you get to excited about Hillary's 3 wins, out of 15.
Obama is still ahead in the delegate count and popular vote. So, I don't get the hype.

Clinton was ahead by 20+ points in those states 2 weeks ago...I think Sen. Obama has done a wonderful job at closing the gap, in both states... And, remeber that votes aren't all in, in Texas.

Scott Pedersen   March 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

The argument by the Clinton campaign that she can better carry the big states she won is irrelevant. Most everyone who voted for her will still vote for Obama in the general election. And you have to consider how many of Obama's backers (like me) will absolutely NOT vote for Clinton if she is the nominee. Who wants another slick Clinton in the White House?

serah   March 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

All I can say for HILLARY'S win is that the END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS! i wonder why media has a problem when Obama asks Hillary to explain her competence for the whitehouse since that is her strong point. Infact she indicated that she will not need any advice from any one to run the office when she said that " i will not need a manual to...." that means she is KNOW – IT – ALL. so what is wrong with THE PUBLIC GETTING A DETAILED VERSION OF HER EXPERIENCE CNN? We can't ask her but someone with the public's interest is asking on our behalf? IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL NEGATIVE POLITICS? NO IT IS STILL PART OF CLEANING THE WHITEHOUSE PROJECT. Being negative is like when Hillary said " both McCain and I have vast of experience and have crossed the threshold to be commander in chief" i will agree for McCain because i feel deeply that if the guy survived the vietnam war HE CAN LEAD THE NATION IN ADDITION TO HIS 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN POLITICS

OBAMA 08   March 7th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Wolf, I heard you are a Clinton supporter, shame on you!

The Clinton's argument is ludacris. Let's ignore all states besides NY, CA, OH, and PA!

What about the rest of us in the smaller states? Who says winning the people's vote in OH is more important than any other state. Wolf your argument is as baseless as you are yourself!

VirginiaBeach   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Since it is likely that neither Clinton nor Obama will have enough
delegates in the first round of voting at the convention, here's my
proposal: Let the first round take place with the superdelegates
voting the way they have pledged, Michigan having its 50%, and
Florida serving its penalty. Then in the second round, the negotiations
can begin. The credentials committee, the superdelegates, and
all of the state delegations (all seated and fully participating)
can do the work that rarely happens at a convention.

Joan   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Giood to see you are typing up Howard Ickes talkign points, Wolfe.

Nia   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

If you mean mojo by lying and politricking then yes, she has.

Darren P   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Her "mojo" appears to be simply tearing down the Democratic party. If her "mojo" is "win at any cost", or possibly "if I can't win, no-one else in my party will either", then you are absolutely right. And, once again, how does winning in areas where you were up by a lot, and then barely pulled out a "W" constitute "recapturing her mojo"? Come on, this is ridiculous.

Adam   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Obama needs to bow out if he loses Penn. For the sake of the party, this needs to be about strategy and not numbers. He cannot win the key swing states necessary to carry the election for the democrats. Do not be naive voters or we'll end up with another republican in November!

Ryan   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I think the real story for the Democratic primary is, "How long can the media draw this race out by constantly flip-flopping their coverage to bring the underdog back into the lead?"

andrew jones   March 7th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Wolf,

Do the maths and dont sound like some of those Hillary's uneducated voters; James Carville inclusive. Even if Hillary wins all of the 11 remaining contest plus Michigan and Florida; which will never happen in this lifetime, by a margin of 20%, she will still be behind Obama in the pledged delegates counts.

So I dont see where Hillary will recapture her mojo, other than the Clinton News Network (CNN) who will spin this debate to her favor!

Gimme a break, Wolf!

Nancy, Pennsylvania   March 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

As you know our governor endorsed Clinton and the next day our
headlines in local newspapers read "Pensylvanians will never
support or vote for a black man", he doesn't realize that there is
more to the state than "Philadelphia" and that we aren't as stupid
as he thinks we are. I'm an independent claiming the democratic
ticket in our primary, Obama is the only candidate without any "garbage" tagging along.

Billary Huckabee   March 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Yeap, the media gave it back to her and the RepubliCONs voted for her in Texas and Ohio...Rush Limburger is really proud of himself. If she "STEALS" the nomination from Obama...there are not enough Hispanics to offset the "Anti-Billary" vote from Black and White Dems who will be greatly upset from this political sham. CNN, great job at keeping this going, but I would expect it...it keeps many of you employed. The American public is in trouble, but not the news media. Right now, you guys are at full employment!!! Will she still have "MOJO" after her beatdowns this weekend (Wyoming) and Tuesday (Mississippi)? Let's see how you report that. 14 and 3 over the last 17 states, that's not MOJO...that's the sun shining even on the MONSTER's bottom sometimes.

I know, THESE COMMENTS ARE AWAITING MODERATION!!!

Jeff   March 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Mojo? She's a dirt bag for crying out loud. Here's a woman that accuses her opponent of lying, corruption and inexperience in one breath, and wants him on the ticket the next. The only thing Hillary has recaptured is her bottom sucking style.

LatinoNation   March 7th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

All I can say is Bring it on Obama , Im sure that Hillary will have the most populated states in America and probably the popular vote and that means be another Bush and go against the people and see what the people do? as It is 15% will cross over to McCain and thats just a start i believe more and more will cross because of the now what they see to be a regular old fashioned politician like all the rest !

Mark   March 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Are you serious? This was a good week for Hillary Clinton? She made almost no headway in the delegate count, and considering how much harder the math got for her this week, how can you say it was a good week. Obama can tie the rest of the way out, and still win.

Joan   March 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

CNN = Clinton News Network.

It's all Clinton talking points, all the time.

Tomorrow's headlines?

"Clinton camp says Obama spilled coffee in 2005"

"Clinton slams Obama on overdue library book"

"Clinton teams new attack ad say Obama has terrible penmanship!"

This is not journalism, folks.

Dave C - N.J.   March 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

She hasn't "regained" anything. Her only chance at winning is if Obama screws up.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 7th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

James Carville is wrong, the superdelegates are not going to flock to Hillary, in fact they're running away from her into the arms of the people's will.

RACHEAL   March 7th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

A CANADIAN MISQUOTE WON THE LAST TWO STATES FOR CLINTON, NOT GOING NEGATIVE !

Largely because of Bush, the world sees the USA as a country of people who are loud, rude, full of double speak, who degrade other nations, cheat, steal elections at home and abroad by interfering with the democratic process, bully other nations by forcing their will on them, and put corporate interests above the interests of people at home and aboard. Hillary is loud, striving, rude, going to cheat the nation of the democratic process by appealing to elite super delegates, is financed by the Arabs and Chinese, she will put the corporations and outsourcing before the American people, she will do anything to get elected, including slandering Obama, she is a double speaker, she in fact was the one who contacted the Canadian consulate before the elections and said to take her NAFTA comments "with a grain of salt" and it was misrepresented as being Obama’s people. Is this the face America can afford to show the world right now when America is responsible for only 22% of the world’s financial interest? (it used to be 50%) Hillary’s Negative tactics didn’t win her the last two states, a quote from the Canadian Government, that was put forward as coming from Obama’s camp, when it really came from the Clinton camp was. ABC and CTV should be sued for misrepresenting this matter, which the Globe and Mail and CBC have sought to correct. What about CNN, NBC, FOX and ABC trying to report honestly now too!

Obama 08   March 7th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Since Super Tuesday according to NBC (who actually keeps their delegate account up-to-date) Obama has added 43 super delegates; Clinton has added 1 and lost 6. This would add six to eight times as many delegates to Obama than what Hillary gained in her "big" victory depending on how the Texas caucus delegates vote.

Perhaps some counter argumant would be appropriate here if CNN actually did some research and wrote balanced articles, which is after all the purpose of a DEMOCRATIC press, especially on that has decided they are "the best political team on television"

Tom Lee   March 7th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Let’s make this clear, based on the way the Clintons are operating and the things that they are doing and saying; I for one will not support the democratic ticket if Mrs. Clinton wins the demo nomo. I will vote for McCain. In addition, if you must know I am an American of Indian and Black heritage and I call on Americans of black heritage to do the same

beckett70   March 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

no comment; leave well enough alone.

wow   March 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Is there any doubt that Wolfie is a Clinton surrogate?

JoAnn Hardy--Iowa   March 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

This whole election is making me sick! Why does Hillary get to decide which states are important and why do you reporters let her do it? Are you still reeling from her criticism of the press coverage? Come back to the center and look at what you are doing! Politics as usual--ugly.

.

eric tarver   March 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is absolutely insane. She has no chance of beating McCain in the general election. Attacking Obama for the sake of attacking will not win an election. A nomimee does not win by harping on being the lesser of two evils. Prove why she sould be President and not why another should not. Politics of the moment. Insane.

tampa florida   March 7th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

strange that this behavior would be considered "strong." i still consider it desperation.

Hillary For President!!!!!! Ohio   March 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Hillary is the Clear Winner!!!!

Rodrique   March 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

All I can say is that if the squabble does not stop Mccain will walk into the White House. Two good candidates with almost the same agenda. It may be fair to say that obama should be the nominee based on his numbers but can he win the states that his party must win. If Michicgan and Florida are not factored in somehow, the democrats can say goodbye to the presidency. To make this work Hillary and Obama must swallow their pride and agree, and they must agree soon.

Kim, GA   March 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

The rich and powerful can always cheat and not follow the rules like everyone else. Nice to know CNN wants to help her win just so she can lose to McCain. She has no momentum everyone white and black alike hates this woman and we refuse to vote for her if she steals the election from the man with the most popular votes, most states, and most pledged delegates. Shameful that people want to be lied to and treated badly.

HH   March 7th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Whoever has the most delagates awarded by the American people and most votes should 100 percent be the nominee. If Clinton had the mojo and was the sure shot winner she would not of lost 12 in a role and by HUGE margins.

mj   March 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

In order to win, she will have to work with voters that dont like to like her.... which is 60%... Obama in the other hand, has to work just in 40%. And former President Clinton should go to the front line and run for President again since he is doing the leg work.

Patrick   March 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

What part of "If Superdelegates overturn Obama's Pledge Delegate lead the Democratic party will be shattered and McCain will win in November" don't Hillary supporters understand?

Carville should know better. You should know better Wolf. Clinton won by 10 points in a State she should have won by 30. She just barely won Texas and in fact net fewer delegates out of the state than Obama. Obama will pick up MORE DELEGATES in Wyoming and Mississippi than Clinton did March 4. This idea that big states count more is a fallacy and a failed strategy that will not only lose Clinton the nomination, it will lose the Democrats the White House JUST LIKE IN 2000 and 2004. The swing state strategy has failed not once, but twice and still some Democrats foolishly want to pursue it again.

If you think MI/FL not being seated will be bad, just wait until the SDs overturn Obama's lead. There will be a reckoning upon the Democratic Party elite that will not only lose the Presidency (I would vote for McCain just to teach the DNC a lesson), but will lose the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the HoR.

I would thank CNN and the MSM to stop pushing this theme of Clinton winning using the SDs. If she wants to win she had better have more Pledged going into the convention.

illinois voter for truth.   March 7th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

ANOTHER POUNCE!!!! Why is it that Hillary has 10
pounces a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is she desperate????Or something?

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT-NO TO VICE PRES. OVER A LIAR.
OBAMA HAS MORE SCRUPLES THAT TO EXCEPT THAT.
HE WILL NEVER CONCEDE TO THAT. WHY DOES SHE
WANT IT. IS SHE GETTING SCARED.

An Agnostic Democrat   March 7th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Will CNN (especially Wolf Blitzer) please remove their noses from the butts of Queen Clinton and all her slimey surrogates? You keep highlighting her disgusting and gutter level Rovian behavior and tactics. Why weren't you this attentive to all the deception and detail back in 2002 when you were leading us to war in Iraq as you marched in lockstep right along side of George W. Bush? Hmm?!

CHICANO ART, ARIZONA   March 7th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

I wish Clinton would have found her mojo earlier, but I do agree that she is in a grove. If Obama sticks to his guns he still has a chance, but if starts to fight Hillary's fight, he can't win. Roland Martin described this election like a fight. She is the champ and in the closing rounds Obama is having to fight the fight Hillary wants to fight. Dang, this whole thing is turning into a real rumble, uh. Clinton, those of us from the South West got your back.
VIVA CLINTON

California Independent   March 7th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Mojo and Obama camp imploding. Things will swing back and forth.

Marsha   March 7th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

Clinton won 3 delegates last Tuesday.

Also, you should have seen the control the Clinton supporters had in the Nevada caucus. They told the Obama supporters they were at the "wrong caucus site," which was not true. They take control of every situation – i.e. the Democratic Clark County Convention last month. We have to reschedule that since the Obama supporters were turned away at the door. 1000's showed up and the Clinton campaign was not happy!

Keep it real. Thanks

mary cleveland, ohio   March 7th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

James Carville must not know that Hillary won in Ohio because the Republican Party was sending e-mails all day Tuesday, to residents of Ohio who are registered Republicans, telling them to vote for Hillary. The reason, you ask? The reason contained in their e-mails iwas they feel sure McCain can beat Hillary and unsure if McCain can beat Obama.

And, Wolfe, don't let Carville yell this fact down! My sister is a Republican in Ohio (the family doesn't know!) and I saw the e-mails she received on Tuesday.

Dana from Houston   March 7th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Hilliary knows right now that it is impossible for her to catch up. So Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and all the superdelegates who are allowing Hilliary to continue and destroy Barack's chances in November. Good luck Hilliary, the media and the superdelegates. God is going to be in the midst of this storm! Don't be surprise when the surge of Democrats turn Independent – you know that is the BIG PLAN. AS AN INDEPENDENT – WE WILL BE RESPECTED MORE!

Grif   March 7th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

I'm not quite sure what a " Mojo" is, still I hope she hangs onto it.

For the rest of the year...

Keith   March 7th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

This is an interesting point of view...didn't Obama actually close a significant gap? Doesn't that indicate he continues to have momentum even though he did not win?

Also, this argument that Hillary won the big states and that is the reason she should get the delegates because she is more elecable...how so? Obama leads in the national polls, in fact more than double the difference against John McCain and Ohio, PA, CA and NY will just as easily vote for Obama than they will Clinton.

Come on CNN report both sides of the story not just the ---- the Clinton's are peddling.

Keith-TX

Len   March 7th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Yes, enough Republicans voted for her to keep her in this race and divide the DNC more. These same republicans won't vote for her in the general. They already got what they wanted.

Paul   March 7th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Lets see, Obama closed a 20 point gap in Ohio and Texes, he still has the same delegate lead minus a few point as before last Tuesday. From what I've been reading the only way Hillary did what she did was actully instigating the big NAFTA-gate, and then turning it around to blame the Obama campaign for it? Only big thing she did this week was coming up with how to lie her way to a few wins.

Steve in Albuquerque, NM   March 7th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Clinton had a good week, helped by CNN, by burying things like the revelation that is was in fact her campaign that contacted Canada and said to take her comments about NAFTA with a grain of salt. That's a big difference and the story was buried in less than 2 hours and never talked about on TV.

Shame on you CNN.

Frank   March 7th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

How is that 'mojo' ? She was leading a good 20 points in TX and OH ... and Obama is about to win more delegates in TX than she does. The net win of delegates hardly justifies a 'mojo', does it ?

Also, she made points in OH with her faked 'NAFTA-GATE' she accused Obama of. As we all know now, it was her campaign that is guilty of double-talk. If the people in OH knew that, things would have been different and she would have lost delegates.

This is not just a 'difference in opinion' when it comes to Clinton – people love her or they HATE her. She would never be able to win this GE in November. The Obama movement including the African-American voters and the Independents would vote against her. Her smeary character would drive the vote out for the Republicans like there is no tomorrow.

Isn't that quiet obvious ?

Gorbashov, Long Beach, Ca.   March 7th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

OBAMA WON MORE DELEGATES IN TEXAS, SO HE WON TEXAS. IT'S ABOUT DELEGATES!

STOP SAYING SHE WON TEXAS!

HILLARY PLS. DROP OUT OF THE RACE YOU CAN'T WIN. DO IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR PARTY, YOU DECEITFUL HYPOCRITE!

Mjones   March 7th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Did she really win Texas? After the Caucus, won't Obama be ahead in total delegates from Texas?

Allen   March 7th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Ok wolf.... The whole world knows that you are in love with the wolf in sheeps clothing...... Gesh!!!!

April in Texas   March 7th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Lets see how she did that... News media won't bring out negative things concerning her such as Peter Paul and Norman Hsu as well as where her tax returns are..

This woont get printed or addressed because CNN is her network after all.

Obama '08

GO HILLARY!!!!   March 7th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

CNN......DID YOU KNOW IT'S WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH?????
DON'T YOU COVER BLACK HISTORY MONTH?
HELLO? CAN YOU NOT GIVE WOMEN A LITTLE RESPECT AND COVER THIS????????
