CNN

I am a retired professional woman of 63 and my candidate from Day 1 has been Obama.

OBAMA 2008

. . .The youth of this era are highly intelligent. The are able to see through the and not judge the surface of a person, but the substance of
a person. They identify with Senator Obama because he understands
them and their issues. He is like a breath of fresh air. He has mobilized the youth in numbers unprecedented since the 60's movement. He will be the
President for the youth of America.

Obama 08.

Finally . . .Delores,

Obama will need a superhero to heal us with his horrible non-voting and gutless record (worst absenteeism in the US senate . . .EVER!) That's what we need in the White House. Someone who says "Where in the world is our president?"

Liz – Time to take your meds. African Americans only make up 13% of the population, so please explain me how Obama is winning in votes, delegates and states....especially IA, WY, UT, etc.......

Cheryl,

You add like the Obama staff. Better look that up again! Clinton is well ahead in popular votes! And big states don't matter as much as SWING states do! Those are who we hope will vote blue in Nov. Those states are CA, NM, TX, FL, VA, NJ, PA, MI, OH, RI, AR, IA, LA, MO, NH.

How do they stack up? Obama won VA, LA, IA.
Clinton won NH, CA, NM, TX, FL, NJ, MI, OH, RI, AR & will win PA!
Missouri . . tied!
Obama won IL, WI, MN, CT, MD & WA but those states will be blue regardless.
Clinton won NY, MA, which will be blue regardless.

Looking at it politically, Clinton is the best choice to win . Looking at it realistically, Clinton is the best to lead!

I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT OBAMA IS NOT GETTING THE WHITE VOTE AND IN PARTTICULAR THE WHITE MALE VOTE. AND OLDER PEPLE ARE COMMITED TO HILALRY BACAUSE OF WHAT A CLINTON WHITE HOUSE WOULD MEAN TO SENIORS, IT MAY IN FACT GO TO MCCAIN IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION. AND ITS NO SECRET OBAMA DOESNT GET THE LATINO VOTE AND THEY WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN IF THEY DONT HAVE THEIR CANNIDATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC RACE. AND THAT WILL MOST LIKELY LOOSE US FLORIDA, AND BRING STATES LIKE OHIO, AND ARKANSAS AND OTHER STATES HILLARY WOULD MOST LIKEY CARRY INTO QUESTION, ALONG WITH STATES SHE MIGHT COULD WIN LIKE TEXAS THAT OBAMA DOESNT HAVE AS MUCH OF A CHANCE IN. IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD LOOSE THE ELECTION AFTER ALL.

Hey Wolf, What happened to Hillary and her Mojo. I think the slipping away of her Mojo is gaining momentom.

I am older and I DO remember the Clinton administration and the “experiences” we lived through as a nation. I certainly do want to repeat those experiences; we are supposed to learn from our mistakes – not repeat them! Obama has given this country hope and that has been a rare commodity for a long, long time.

I see some who post in here from Europe who love Hillary. I think this must be as Hillary is so socialist like all Europe is now. I am from Korea. In Asia when someone must lie and cheat so much to grab the power. We call them the Dictators.

Once again, read the exit polls and see who is turning this into race! I cannot believe these black folks who are only voting for Obama because he is black! Look at the record! Hillary has done so much more to cross racial lines and for the black community and this is how she gets repaid!

And of course, the exit polls showing Obama as more honest? Did you realize that Obama's name has surfaced 3 times in the prosecutor's opening arguments in the Rezko trial. And Obama has admitted his NAFTA talks are rhetoric to get elected. Sounds like Bush honesty. No wonder Mississippi has the lowest avg. income in the US if they are that gullible!

You guys are really stero typing people I am a 63 year old white woman that would not vote for Hilary under any circumstance what they both did when Bill was in the white house is dishonest, not setting a good example and I see no change. I would hope that after the first Georege W Bush the clintons, and the second George W Bush this county would wise up our old ways have not worked and I would think that the older you are the more wisdom one tunes into. Too Bad CNN is not more aware about what is really going on in California the Place where everyone came in the 70's the setiment is still pretty much the same with the people I speak with. There is little doubt in my mind a nice young man like Barack Obama would have some fresh new Ideas, goals, and action to put in place when he hits the ground running on his first day... Let the old gaurd be done after all we have to move over for our children and grandchildren who already have the so called knowledge we have and alot more of their own. Please quite the Stero typing it really bothers me and makes me defensive.

Look. This is just more slicing and dicing, but the difference in older voters in hardly significant. The difference in younger voters is significant. In short, Obama is turning out young people and that's important. Like it or not they are the future of this nation and we need for them to get involved. Those of you who were around when Kennedy ran did he inspire you? Did he encourage you to participate in government and the well-being of your country. Imagine for a second if he had lost. How would you have felt? I'm not saying Obama is Kennedy, but he does inspire young people ,something that JFK did too. How do you think they will react if he loses after leading? They will feel cheated. Like everything is controlled by party insiders and what they think and vote doesn't matter. Do we want that? NO! Listen. Obama has the delegate lead, the popular vote, the most states. He's only behind by about 35 super delegates, and he's leading by more than 150 pledged delegates. Some "red states" might become "swing" states if he runs in November. He can do this. He can make young people get involved and believe, he can lead this country, and his experience makes him no less qualified than a certain other man from Illinois who only served one undistinguished term in the House on the national scene and several years in Illinois congress before becoming president. YES HE CAN! YES WE CAN!

I forgot to add OHIO. Big important state. Hillary won it- Obama was not able to cinch the deal. Makes superdelegates nervous...

Prior to tonight – Popular Vote Total:
Obama – 13,024,961 – 49.4%
Clinton – 12,421,358 – 47.1%

Wait till Pensylvania, Michigan, and Florida.
Hillary ahead in popular vote
Obama behind in popular vote

I love how people keep saying, the young vote is causing damage. You older voters have no credibility, you put Bush in, in 2000, and then after 4 years of damage, you so called "Experienced" voters, put him in again for 4 more years. If that's not irony, I don't know what is, lol. I know for this election, whomever you "Experienced" voters are backing, I'm backing the other person. Experience doesn't equal intelligence. As we saw in 2004!

Liz,
A majority of the men and women of the armed forces are also young. So, by YOUR rational, the people in the military do not have the life experience needed to defend our country in combat. Did I get that right?

Get a clue...

Senator Obama is not a "baby", he is forty six years of age with a family and more than twenty five years of work experience. He has experience, education and is smart enough to know that we need something very different in this country.

Come on Americans we need to stop this age, race thing. All of us young and old will benefit from a new perspective – a new approach to doing business in Washington. Republicans will not go away so we need to support the candidate who can cross the aisle, bridge relationships and work to secure us at home and abroad .

And while Senator Obama is working on the economy and all of the other challenges that we struggle with perhaps he can play super hero and work with us to heal America. Senator Obama for President.

Well, people that have lived longer and are wiser vote for someone who is actually qualified to be president? Is this news?

sigh... it's very sad that we are in 2008 and people are still racist, sexist and biased in general. Who cares if Obama's getting support from African -Americans? McCain's getting support from Whites! How come everyone on CNN is on Hilary Clinton's dick? And why is she playing so dirty? Why shouldn't the vote of 18 year olds like myself have an impact? I've been following politics and news in general since I was 12. I've been working since I was 16. I pay for my own gas. And I filed my taxes by myself for the first time this year. I've had experiences both in my own personal and family life that most people have never (trust me, i have a crazy family life). Parents been separated like 4 times, [overseas] aunts and uncles always coming to us for help, mentally unstable people living in my house. In January, I went to court for a drinking ticket that I got in December and I handled that without my parents finding out. My friends and I do dumb things like drink and smoke pot, but there is a lot more to us too. 3.67 freshman GPA, future peer mentor, aspiring to go to medical school. I think I've been through enough and matured through it in order to count. So yes, a lot of young people may appear to be lost causes and may seem to have no clue, but a lot of us are ready for the future. And right now, the future in America looks very bleak.

peace, love and pinto beans

Among states voting with more than 90 delegates Clinton Leads Obama 7,947,616 vs. 7,231,777, which excludes both Florida and Michigan.

Could someone please tell me what significant experience Hillary Clinton has? I researched this and could not find that she has any experience that is superior to that of her opponent. Thank you.

91% of African American voted for Obama. Hi , White Americians, can you do the same thing? You can't since you're coward and afriad of being called raist!

Obama is clearly enjoying the benefits of the "race card." Everyone is this country is so afraid of the label "racist". I feel it's kind of silly that people cannot speaking of the truth, and if they mentioned anything invloved with 'black' , ahha, racists! The whites are really stupid!

Many of the young voters see the light at the end of the tunnel, and can see that Obama can help us all get there, while older voters are still hoping that their same old leaders can finish getting us there, the fact is they have gone astray from the light they were hoping for, because that light has moved, and their past leaders cant get them there.

Why are the votes being broken down by the race, WHITES, BLACKS, HISPANICS, LANTINOS,ETC., Why not JUST THE NUMBER OF VOTES each canidates received. Perhaps if the media just use the words "Number of Votes" there wont's be people knowing what race of the people are voting and I feel that this will help with the black and white issues.

Question for anyone like to answer from the CNN Staff.

I am a 57 year old white female who is firmly behing Barack Obama. I am a flight attendant and meet new people from around the country every day. Hilary has a distinction of taking pac money, lobbist money, being a coward and throwing the kitchien sink, whining about the first question, wha , wha, wha,! Just because Barack doesn't throw the kitchen sink back doesn't mean there is no fight in the dog. Just means he's a bigger man. I have personally met alot of women who are voting for Hilary just because she's a woman(and he can get it next time) or they are Republican and they are voting for her because they(Rep) feel as though they can beat us if Hilary is the nomminee.
To the media, please, I beg you STOP talking about white men, blacks,latinos,blah, blah, blah-it's sickening –leave it to itself and THEN after it is done report it, it is racial profiling to tell people that blacks are voting for him and no white are -shut up

Barack will never be president of the USA! There are not enough blacks to crown him king.

He is no longer winning the white vote in this racially divided race. Give it up kids the demographics are against you.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 or McCain!

Why do older people think that the younger peopple don't know how to vote, and will not make a wise decision. The younger generation, between 21-40, are far more advance than people 45-75 in many ways. Younger millionaires, inventors, genius, etc.. than in the past. The younger generation this day and age is one of the smartest. Do they have the wisdom to make the right decision on our commander and chief? I guess only time will tell. Let's look at the wisdom of us middle-age and senior's in the past 8 years. Gosh! I think I will take a chance and see if the wisdom of the younger generation is any better.

How can CNN project Obama to have won Mississippi when Hillary has a higher percentage of the votes so far? WAY too premature CNN. Lenny in Atlanta

As an African American WOMAN she does not speak 4 me!!!!!! Racism trumps sexism ………. I still make less than WHITE women… I need a Masters 2 UR Bachelors ….. If Hillary was a BLACK woman she would not be in her position!!!!!

CNN post my comment!!!!! DON'T be biased

I'm a young man at the very beginning of my senior years (46). Serving in the from 1979-2002 in the US Army under Carter, Regan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. The one thing I remember most about serving my country was the promise.
THE PROMISE THAT ALL THAT SERVE WITH HONOR WILL TAKE OF YOU AND YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF US!
As each genaration move forward, the older one must give way. Young people (17-50) are figthing and dying in wars today for you today. IT IS TIME TO ALLOW US TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. WE NEED YOUR CONSEL, HOWEVER, IT IS OUR TIME TO TO FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE AND LEAD THIS GREAT NATION. BELIVE IN US AND WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. VOTE TODAY'S WORLD AND NOT YESTERDAY PAST.

Obama is going to be our next President. It is so obvious!

That scheming charlatan Obama is winning. Big surprise. I hope he has a long way to fall. What an ignorant, arrogant jerk Barack is.

All of the older voters have forgotten the Clinton Scams, Must be alzheimer's

I will cross over and vote Republican, anything but Clinton Scams again.

You can bet your booty, They are only there for the loot!

look, wow, the young hip guy we know nothing about is winning the kids who don't actually pay attention to the issues and typically don't show up to vote general election day... what, you think its different this time? give me a break... half these kids go to a rally wear a cool button and follow trends.. when it comes to showing up at the polls... expect a decline in november.

The older voters have been out there in the real world trying to make a living, we know who can get us out of a recession. The younger voters just go with trends, most of them college students that have not held their first job yet. By November they won't even remember Obama's name, it will be on to another pie in the sky fad. Ofcourse, I hope by November none of us have to hear his name again.

I meant to say Obama got 80 %

Jennifer...Obama is winning because he is balck....more black people support Obama than support Clinton. This is a race issue for sure. In Texas Clinton got more than 80 % of black vote...that should tell you something. White people supported Hillary 55%. Conclusion..I do think in this race black people are voting forObama becasue he is black. In other words they vote for their race.

I'm with Jack from California. I'm an African American female and don't believe Obama has a chance to win a general election. Get out Obama when you have a chance. They are fooling you into believing America is ready for change. Not in 2008. You should try again much later. Then you will be too old. While the voters are talking about Hillary is dishonest, I believe a lot of us on this post is dishonest. Answer these questions:

Are you really ready for a black man to be in charge of all of these white men?

Can you say President Obama?

If he messes up, will you still call him the best man for the Job after a month or two in office?

Will you vote for another black man or woman for president if Obama doesn't do a good job or will you put us all in the same category?

If you answered No to all of the questions above, stop kidding yourself and vote for the right person and it isn't Obama. Don't blame
African Americans when or if he decides to make a mistake.

No surprises here. But that should tell you why Obama is winning cacuses. The cacus system is difficult of the elderly and women with children to participate in, so no wonder he is winning.
It's not really the popular vote when a large piece of the population cannot attend

Older Mississippi voters need to go to rehab, they have been hooked on a destructive political drug that history has proved to be an embaracism to America's history. This election reveals that these voters are political jukies and they're hooked and that why they tolerate these outdated views and uneducated immigrants follow their lead, they're basically pedelling this drug to many immigrants who are undicted themselves. If you want to be a real American, it's time to go to rehab and your saying no, no, no, no, no. Women, I hope you don't smoke this stuff, after hearing from Ms Ferraro, I think she's pedaling an addictive, destructive political drug. This is a problem and this problem is going to have to also be addressed in Pennyslvania. This is a culture that is very old, but the time is now for turning the course of this ship and many of us are doing it, the young and some of the old and this is a credit to America and I hope the world is watching because we are going to shake up the world. God bless America.

CNN is editing my comments and taking them down because they are not politically correct and criticizes the manner of which the cover the elections. For more truth you can go to MSNBC and just maybe I won't get edited.

Joanna, you can check on realclearpolitics.com. it shows the popular vote for both and guess what? Obama is ahead! Shocker!

they say the only people who can see the future are the coming genaration

Joanna,
What alternate reality do you reside in?

.... I'll have what she's having. With a side of crazy. Thanks.

Hey Maya, Hillary won the Primary portion in Texas. She lost the caucus. Sum the two together and OBAMA wins Texas. It's all about dels, but if you want to talk about popular vote...OBAMA has won that too.

Dels – Obama
States – Obama
Popular vote – Obama

Time for billary to GO AWAY!

It looks like Hillary's kitchen sink has just ran into a tornato. G Ferrara sounds uniquely stupid in comments of late, and Ms. Williams (Clinton's advisor) response even more so. I don't think voters in Penn will want Ms. Clinton to run our country after this tactic. It really shows bad character and poor judgement. Ferrar's comments were of poor taste and way out of character. Ms. Clinton should have never had Ms. Williams respond. It has lowered Ms. William's credibility to simply being a flunky. Typically, flunkies fall at the hands of their controller.

Clinton actually lead in poular vote among swing states by 278,071 (States that were less tha 10% in 2004 election). Obama leads in all other states by 837,857.

o Obama the only hope of planet earth ,the only president of the USA at last of which when Obama is chosen as president the world will be in peace at last ,for his the only president in which the world will come together as one ,for each and every member of planet earth is waiting to see Obama to be the president of the united staes of america.God bless Obama

Bob Johnson is a puppet for John Malone and is voting in the best interest of his business plans. Can you imagine the backlash for BET had blacks known that John Malone influenced BET. Do you think that half naked black women shaking would have made 25 years if a white man owned BET? I think some blacks are supporting Hillary so that if she somehow pulls a Bush and takes the election, we would have a friend in the White House. They have so little integrity that if she used the "N" word, they would smile and support her based on some backroom promises made. Democrats represent Telecommunications and technology and Republicans represent Oil and Weapons. Racism in America is now on broadcast to the entire world. They are watching to see how true we are to the democracy we go to war to spread throughout the world by how this turns out. It has to be really bad when you get Caroline Kennedy to endorse you and Oprah and peopl still freak out and throw kitchen sinks at you.

I find it difficult to understand why the media is hesitant; no refuses, to state the obvious. It is not racist to state what statistics show. There is a racial tone to this campaign and it is not coming from the Clinton campaign. or Geraldine... it is coming from black voters. 90% of black voters are casting their ballot for Obama. If 90% of Caucasian voters were doing the same – it would be about race and the discussion would be about prejudice. Voting for someone like you to lead the country is not bad. What is bad – is our politically correctness that acts is if this is not a reality and attacks someone who is stating the obvious. This is a great moment of pride for the black community to have a leader such as Obama – and I certainly understand them supporting him as a leader.

To Joann:

The latest popular vote count after the Wyoming caucus is:
Obama = 13,024,961 (49.4%)
Clinton = 12,421,358 (47.1%)

with Florida:
Obama =13,601,175 (48.3%)
Clinton = 13,292,344 (47.2%)

with Fl & MI (Obama not on ballot in MI):
Clinton =13,620,653 (47.4%)
Obama =13,601,175 (47.3%) same count as w/FL

So although Clinton won the "big states" she still has not captured the majority of the popular vote. The Mississippi primary is not included in the counts.

Dear Cnn Political Board: With all due respect we have seen what recounts or revotes can do to candiadates from the 2000 election rather than have a recount or revote let the campaigns go ahead with no recounts or revotes in Florida (Palm Beach County ) we all know what happened with Al Gore.

Silvia C.-"...older voters remember how fantastic the Clinton presidency was." Give me a break!!! Whitewater, Travelgate, Monicagate, etc...etc.,The planning of 9-11 because Al- Qaida percieved weakness and lack of resolve. And as far as the economy, He was president during the internet boon of the 90's. If my dog Spot had been president then you would say he was a "fantastic" president! Be like your hero and STOP INHALING!!!

Obama can smooth talk that's for sure, and people in the younger age barackets are more impressionable. The fact that he gets the younger vote should be alarming. People at that age don't understand the impact their vote makes on the future. That is not meant as a disrespect for the younger voters, however I do believe they don't have the life experience, yet, to make a sound decision based on the issues.

There are people who historically have resisted the new tide. they are afraid to loose the grasp they had in their early years, they do not want to face the generational switch over. I do feel for those stuck in the past and refuse to go forward with the new trends and new history

MEDIA WHITE PEOPLE LOVE OBAMA TOO!!! I AM SORRY BUT I AM GOING TO SCREAM IF I HEAR AGAIN THAT OBAMA IS WINING BECAUSE OF BLACK PEOPLE?

Joanna, is one example that the Clinton supporters do not follow politics. That's why they vote for her. Hillary lacks character and her supposedly 35 years experience, shows it. By the way if you get more delegates you win. congrats to obama for winning tx, and thanks cnn for refusing to report it.

I can't wait for this race to be over. It is nightmare to see what is going on in the Democratic party. The good thing of the first "black" and the first "woman" has not played very well with Americans. We are so divided , and it is a "race" and "gender" fight instead of "Who is the best candidate?" SAD. The Republican party will win-but we are learning a great lesson in politics- perhaps Americans will learn from this one. I feel bad for Obama and Hillary-they both try so hard.

WHAT ABOUT THE CONNECTION TO WILLIAM AYERS...THE MAN THAT REPORTEDLY SET BOMBS.IN 1970,..HE AND OBAMA ARE FRIENDS..HE IS A PROFESSOR. WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA INVESTIGATING THIS STORY....

I wish that the media would cover that just as many white people vote for Obama as Black people. I represent 33 members of my white family that will vote for Obama. It is not a black thing, white, hispanic or aisan thing, it is about being an American and that is what he represents to me CHANGE! I am abit embarrased that racists comments are being put out there againts this man because it only seeks to divide us and why is this coming out of the democratic party as well as the Republicans? It is an American shame that this is 2008 and people are still backwards in thinking.

Obama won Texas State overall percentage. So, he has one big state wit his resume. You can't beat that or ignore it either. More delgates more percentage in Texas.!!!!!!!

"...So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him – use these powers wisely and as a last resort. And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein – this is your last chance – disarm or be disarmed."

Hillary was and is right.

Obama is running on the idea that the Commander in Chief should NOT have had the ability to protect America. It's not Hillary's fault George W Bush is an idiot.

It amazes me how you guys in the media say "Clinton won the big states" when you look at the numbers, she dont win by much, only seperated by a couple hundred votes, which means Obama can still carry all those states in the general election.

Since when can 17-year-olds vote?

Obama '08. Oh yeah, Barack leads in the popular votes and in pledged delegates.

Obama can't win the big states. Sorry, but who cares about Miss. everyone knows this is a Republican state and has never voted for a Dem. in the general election.
Obama should concede and end the fighting, he is not tough enough to fight in a general election. He should wait eight years and run again.
I would never vote for him now, he's just not competent or ready. I would rather vote for McCain than Obama in a general election.

I transcribed vote and pledged delegate totals from CNN's website for each state, which has held a primary and/or a caucus to an Excel workbook. To my astonishment, I discovered that the 1,385 to 1,229 Obama lead in pledged delegates presented on the front page of CNN's Political Ticker was only 1,325 to 1,201. This error has resulted in CNN overstating Obama's lead in pledged delgates by 32 or 20.5% more than the actual lead of 124. It appears all of the media outlets have a similiar unexplainable error.

I have been unable to send my schedule to CNN. Also, included on my spreadsheet our interesting statistical tidbits, such as 113 of Obama's 124 pledged delegate lead is from Caucuses or if you applied a winner take all allocation to the pledged delegates, as will be the case in November, Clinton would lead by 157 delagates. All of these statistics exclude Florida and Michigan and are current thru the Texas and Wyoming Caucuses.

why do you have the link on the front page say "racial divide" when the article is all about age divides? inappropriate mistake.

Absolutely meaningless victory since Obama doesn't have a "snowballs chance in hell" of winning that state in the general election!

Rejoice to President John McCain's victory!

WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN!

In response to Gerri Ferraro. She knows exactly what she's doing and they definitely released all this at this time to attract the white voters who hate a black man is leading this campaign.

Pennsylvania has a large white blue collar "southern" type mentality and may identify with now Ferraro playing the "victim"

HIllary is shrewd and brilliant and it may work. After all isn't this what Hitler did to the whites against the Jews. Hillary is very, very dangerous!

She's tapping into what's ugly and shameful in all of us instead of trying to bring out the good and help us take back our government for the people

I am listening to CNN analysts talking about race. How do you explain that 80/90 percent of African American are voting for Obama. Isn't that a race issue? I think it is. Nevertheless, "race" is been treated as a bad word in this primaries, same as sex, but the reality is that both words are an issue. For some of us it matters; for some of us it doesn't. Please do not try to change the reality of the society where we live in. I do not blame African Americans for voting for Obama in the same way I do not blame women voting for Clinton.

By the way, I am Latino. Does that matter?

Hey you guys should do a poll that shows-–people with IQs 50 and lower voting for Clinton lol!! GO OBAMA!!!!!

as they said on the today show" americans are becoming dummer" that's proven by obama being in the lead. smarten up u.s. you screwed up 8 years ago, 4 years ago and you are doing it again

TO: Luca, Nashville TN. These old and clammy hands are the ones that fought and had the working ethics and principles to make this country what it is. Your sense of entitlement, inspired by a leader of NOTHING is disrespectful and sickening.

You and your leader are lacking experience and good manners. You are the generation of preachers with no substance. The twisters of wrods and thoughts to please you little brains and souls.

Obama is leading Hillary from every angle. Obama should just ignore Horrible Hillary and just pretend she doesn't exist.

Joanna,

Prior to tonight – Popular Vote Total:
Obama – 13,024,961 – 49.4%
Clinton – 12,421,358 – 47.1%

Joanna... Obama is ahead delegates and popular vote, not including the caucus states. If you include the caucus states, it's a rout.

Joanna,
CNN, MSNBC, Fox News have all reported that Obama has majority of popular vote and delegates.

I would say the overwhelming answer to daddy g is YES!!!!!

Its time for change. Free trade is dead and its time its supporters are permantly remove from power and possibly prosecuted for treason.

That doesn't sound like too much of a gap. It just sounds like most of the electorate went to Obama.

Clinton, you're done. Get out!

Hurray for Obama and his 27th Win!!!

Hillary should retire in a trailer park like here supportors.

Clinton could care less about the country or the circumstances of our country. She just wants to win even if it means selling her soul. She just wants to be the first female President and that belongs to Nancy Pelosi. I was going to vote Clinton until I observed her tactics.

GO OBAMA! By the way, I looked at your state delegate totals for Texas. Overall, Barack won the highest number of delegates- I do hope Ms. Clinton retracts her statement about being the "BIG Winner" in Texas. Go home Hillary

CNN so it has been like that for all over the Country and it proved that Mississippi didn't vote on racial line as you earlier thought.
Obama all the way!!!

I think older people have not only experienced more but remember how fantastic the Clinton's presidency was. Younger voters have no remembrance and don't care about experience. Sad.

Why is CNN only showing the following in the top bar for more stories:

Hot Topics » Election Center 2008 • The Political Ticker • Hillary Clinton • John McCain • more topics »Weather Forecast International Edition

Where is Barack Obama's name?

Joanna, Obama maintains a 1 million+ popular vote lead. In every way, he is leading Hillary.

Why doesnt this get as much air-time as the difference in race?

I think TV people want Clinton to win.

Do we really want to say President Obama–Don't forget 911

They say, "when you get older, you become conservative" and view "change," as negative. The reason, we should never end up growing old disgracefully.

Joanna- Obama leads by 600,00 in the popular vote.

Youth does have a different perspective on life. It usually changes as we age through life's experiences. A nation needs its youth, and a nation needs those who have experience. As for who should be president of the united States, I believe experience is very important - note our founding fathers did that allow for a 21 year old to be President. We should trust our wise founding fathers.

Older voters were spilt almost even, it's only a 7 point difference given a 4 point polling error that is barely statistically signficant. . .

THE GENERAL ELECTION IS NOT A CAUCUS. Hillary won the popular vote in Texas.

THE KEY WILL BE THE SWING states like NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, TEXAS, FLORIDA, etc—OBAMA HAS NOT SHOWN THAT he can secure a single one of these key states. HILLARY WON THESE. Period. This is why the superdelegates have not gone to Obama. It is that simple.

AGAIN.

Old Guard, go HOME. We're taking this party BACK from your cold, clammy hands.

77% of Republicans voted for Hillary. Rush Limbaugh loves Hillary, she'll be so easy for McCain to beat in November.

Go Obama go!!!!

Can anyone calculate the voters state by state? I do think Hillary won more voters but less delegates now. Because in the big state, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the small state. And in the primary, a pledged delegate represents more voters than in the caucuse.
