HILLARY and FERARRO 08 FIGHTERS FOR AMERICA

Hey Mike…who leads in pledged delegates, total popular vote and most staes…Yawn…oh yah …clue : its not the Monster

I have a question about that new comment from the Clinton campaign…..wasn't it the Clinton campaign that said Powers had to leave the Obama campaign because of her comment? so why is it now being said she should have never left?…I'd like the same thing to be done on the Clinton campaign now…or clarify this please.

Well, hope he knows his economics better than Lou Dodds policy positions…..doubt it though!

Who would want to vote for someone who can't even get a TV pundits position correct - intentionally or not?

Hillary can't manage her own marriage, so she definetly can't run the economy.

Obama is the man. Hillary is some stupid women who needs her man to get her anything. women should not be able to vote.

I doubt the economy is the most important factor. With black voting 9-1 for Obama, it appears skin color is the most important factor. Imagine if whites were so mindless and voted 9-1 for any candidate. Imagine the outcry.

See that - Ferraro wanted race to be the talking point, not the results. She took one for the team here. They're trying to marginalize Obama as the "Black Candidate" again, hoping that will work against him in Penn and with the Super Delegates. She figures that she could mend the African American rift later on - but first she needs to get the Democratic nod by any means necessary.

He won colorado which a write state
so you need to shut up and watch, he's going to win

Enough of the "Kitchen Sink" talk of the Clinton campaign…she's gone a step further. This campaign strategy needs to be called the "Scorched Earth" campaign. They're doing and saying ANYTHING just to keep her in the race.

She now mathmatically cannot catch Senator Obama. PA voters MUST see that. She'd need 63% to 37% victories just to draw even in delegate count. That's not going to happen!

HILLARY, STOP THE SCORCHED EARTH CAMPAIGN!
Stop ruining the Democratic party!

If we don't count Florida and MIchigan, shouldn't they reduce the number of delegates needed proportionately?

Mike in NYC forgot add that hillary has and will win in states where there is a large white electorate and a majority of the so called professional working white woman. Which just happens to be the Northeast…where he is from.

Before the Clintons try to dismiss this victory as "only the black vote", let's just remember that Obama won (an essentially all-white) Wyoming Caucus just three days ago.

Obama has won 30 contests, many of which had no minorities at all. In other words, he has wide support.

Just a note to say I am so glad my dear mother is not hear to see

I am so glad my dear mother is not hear to hear Ferraro make a fool of herself because when she was the vice-presidental nomiani she thought she was smart

There will be two tickets in the general election:

McCain/McClinton/Bush

Obama/Anyone other than HRC

VOTE - Obama '08

It is not even 8 p.m. and y'all are saying that Obama will. Give the people a chance to let there voices be heard.

Once again, the 13 year olds are on the blog with their nasty personal attacks against Senator Clinton. typical response to any issue, because the facts are not there for Obama.
Boys and girls: DO YOUR HOMEWORK, AND GET OFF THIS BLOG.

NEW CNN TERM, I do see it. Concede Hillary!

ferraro is a dinosaur time to turn the page…….

I got into that prestigiuos country club cause I'm BLACK
i was accepted into that exclusive fraternity ..cause I'm BLACK
I was promoted to CEO yep you guessed it cause I'm BLACK

To Mike in NYC…. When Whites vote for white people are they voting for the White person because of their race? Blacks have been voting for Whites since they were granted the right to vote. Did Blacks vote for the White candidates because they were White candidates? Moreover, Are you saying that Blacks are only capable of voting for someone based on their race? MIKE in NYC, Blacks are capable of using the serousm tactics to evaluate a candidate.

Your statement is very racist and you should evaluate your own character and view on race, for instance are you not voting for OBAMA merely because he is BLACK?

UMMM I wonder. ????

OBAMA for a better AMERICA!2008!!!!!!

Race right down the line.

Don't worry Marianne. Florida and Michigan will count and Clinton will drastically close the gap.

With Pennsylvania, it's going to be nearly even.

For the people saying he's wining because of the AA…HE HAD TO EARN THE VOTE….he was losing it when he started…Hillary had the wrong people making the wrong comments to turn off those voters

I like both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.

I don't like the way the CNN press and journalists favour Obama. If they don't like the answer to one of their questions, they move on to another one that is more entertaining and more of a gossipy nature.

Seems they took my post off the board. Oh well.

Obamaniacs are a sorry bunch. Heads in the clouds, high on unity and hope. And unable to face the demographic truth:

Obama is unelectable.

best of all when your account is doing great its cause ITS BLACK

I find it funny that he is winning all of the red states…republicans are voting for him b/c McCain can beat him….just watch in November when he doesn't win any states….then he can go back to the slum house

I guess she didn't believe it when the people stood up in unity as one and screamed, We want change!!!! And Hillary you are not that change.

george jetson you and people like you are the reason this country is inthe shape it is in.Go back and organize your klan rally.

Go Obama!!!

if only this would get the rovian clintons to quit! but we wont be so lucky! it's over, hilary and bill. you've disgusted too many of us with your vile tactics. it was a stupid strategy, and it's backfired. buh-bye!

Wolf: HOW COME YOU WANT SHADE NEVADA ON THE MAP TO REFLECT OBAMA WON THE DELEGATE COUNT THERE, JUST LIKE YOU DID FOR TEXAS?

How is Hillery going to stop him? Is she going to rig the super deligates? If that is so then you have 4 more years of Bush/McCain. You will enjoy John,s 100 year war, tax cuts for the rich, More money for KBR and Blackwater, and certianly more money for big oil and the drug companies and the health insurance industry.

Who could ask for anything more.

Steve in AZ
Oh by the way— we sure know McCain.

How exactly is the junior Senator going to fix the economy?! Seriously? Hillary was at least exposed to the workings of managing an economy as First Lady to Bill as Governor and as President. What does Obama bring to the table- Seriously?!!!

So Obama is leading in Mississippi ?? I am to the point where i think ( What's the difference ,Bush has ruined our country to the point That no one can pull us out now) !!! Certainly not Obama !!

Hillary wants the race card to help her among the white rural voters in Penn, Kentucky, Indiana, as a blowback to the Obama "race voters" in Mississippi.

What an ugly strategy.

george jetson, we have been LIVING the outcry for the past 7 years. i could care less about skin color, but those ugly white boys in the white house now have sure done a good job of destroying so much about this country, and afghanistan and iraq too.

We didn't need the final count to know Mississippi would go to Obama, knew it before they even started voted.

Ahhh but not counting Michigan and Florida in totals would make sense, something that politics rarely does….
Michigan and Florida could re-caucus, but no one wants to foot the bill….
so the democratic party has pretty well gnawed its own arm off in order to enforce the rules, and now its surprised there's blood on the floor….

lets see Obama says change? What will he do to change? I ve heard him talk about health care and ? He states he going to change the world? how? Im a true Democrat, but if Obama wins i will not support in general election, either not vote or go with McCain depending on his running mate, who may end up President. Lets see Obama is getting all the black vote, is that surprising. Yes Jesse ran and they didn t all support, but he didn t run against a woman. Now lets go with the intelligence of the people voting for Obama, blacks, and women who can fall for any person or celebrity in spot lite .lol

george jetson

White people have voted for other white people for no other reason since this country was founded. Maybe history was not your strongest subject in school.

Go OBAMA!!!!!

What I want to know is how many black people are voting for the very first time in their life? So if Obama isn't the nominee will we have 1960's riots all over again?

You guys make such a bid deal over the % of black vs white voters in each state you should be ashamed. As you steer the American public to how wrong it is for Ferraro to point out the same. I think it's time we stop hearing about the obvious. We the public know she's a woman and we know he is not. We know he is black and she is not. Give each of us as voters the credit we deserve to vote the issues (aside from gender and race) WE Just want a candidate to meet our needs. E.T. with the right platform…could get our vote at this point.

Hilary needs to take a position other than,"we both have supporters that step over the line", in regards to Ferraro's comment. I would rather see her condemn such a racial slur like John Mcain did when
that radio lunatic went on a rant about Obama !

Marianne,

the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination already factors in that Michigan and Florida are not being counted. If there were to be given their seats the number goes to 2208

African Americans threatening other African Americans if they do not support Obama, what a crazy notion, where would we be if the reverse had prevailed, foolish is not quite the word for this one. Any one who criticize this man is racially insensitive - at least any democrat, but the repugs will not have that problem, in fact they are counting on it, divide, and conquer, first race, then gays, God and guns. Don't believe it just remember Willie Horton, if you are a young OB supporter then you just might remember the "Harold Ford" commercial ( that snow bright blond saying "call me Harold" ) just that commercial alone knocked Harold Ford - a very talented congressman right out of the park ! I know Obama seems like the "rubber band man" to many of you youngsters but the slash and burn repugs don't need to pull him to see how far he stretches they just need a pair of scissors !

"…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 Clinton

Obama won women! G'Obama!

I listen to CNN quite often because I am interested in American politics. However, in my opinion, there are very few unbiased commentators and facilitators.
I would like to see more programs that give the news in detail, and with less amusing or deprecating comments.

Sensible voters should try and visit Clinton scandals website and surely you eyes will be open wide about the sordid life the Clintons lived for years starting from their hometown…enjoy reading..very good materials…

antonia vladimirova owns dreams foundation, lives in bulgaria, calls self reverend, and when prophet signed her guest book, she stole he God spoken ministry name, ministry of dreams, on dreams foundation website, , write rev. antonia vladimirova and ask her why she stole,

Hillary is engaging in a scorched earth policy. She knows she won't win the nomination, so she is sabatouging the November election for Obama and the democrats. She's allowing her lackeys (Ferraro) to divide the democrats by race, and she's already hinted the McCain would be a better candidate than Obama.

Her belief is that if she doesn't win, Obama won't either. This just shows that she is willing to destroy the democratic party if she doesn't get elected.

REMEMBER THESE WORDS, AMERICA. REMEMBER WHAT CLINTON IS DOING!

You guys make such a big deal over the % of black vs white voters in each state you should be ashamed. As you steer the American public to how wrong it is for Ferraro to point out the same. I think it's time we stop hearing about the obvious. We the public know she's a woman and we know he is not. We know he is black and she is not. Give each of us as voters the credit we deserve to vote the issues (aside from gender and race) WE Just want a candidate to meet our needs. E.T. with the right platform…could get our vote at this point.

I like how CNN is downplaying Obama's win. Clinton is downplaying the last two wins like they are nothing. Obama goes to TX and Ohio and boosts his support. HIlary could have dont the same. She isn't concerned with the back vote…

Can we really have a president who looks like Steve Erkel? Come on, Obama is the only candidate more dorky looking than Bush.

No, the democratic party need to unite under the most electable canidate. And that is Barack Obama~ Who will surely recapture the white house into democratic hands…Over Senator John McCain..that the real choice.

Worried about the economy and voted for Obama? Go figure. It is scary when people are willing to vote for a neophye like Obama. I will never vote a candidate who is winning on the basis of speech. I never hope I am hoping Hillary will run as independent.

All he (Obama) has to ask is. "Are we better off as a country today as we were 8 years ago?" McCain will be toast. Iraq war cost, gas prices, inflation, Haliburton, etc………. A continuation of that, I think not.
Only Hillary can rally that base.

Why is the media even concentrating on what the Clinton campaign is trying to focus on? During the Vermont, Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas primaries, it is now known the Obama won more delegates during those contests. Clinton is trying to use misdirection to focus on anything but the delegates. Back when Clinton had more delegates (after Super Tuesday) they were saying its "about the delegates, not the states". Now its about the states, not the delegates. Obama is little by little pulling away, and he is not just winning African-Amerian votes, you cannot win with just the votes of African-Amerians. According to CNN, before Mississippi Barack is ahead by 124 delegates, after Mississippi it will be even more. If Clinton wins PA, she will likely only have a small gain in delegates, Obama will then win more southern and western states. She cannot catch up in delegates.

Marianne: The Michigan and Florida delegates are not included in the 2025 delgates needed to win, from my understanding.

Even in this blog someone states 'why not count florida and mich'… because they went against the party! if the states weren't so selfrightous they would've been counted. Why didn't the voters speak up then? Months ago? Only thing I can come up with is ignorance… and if they didn't know their vote wasn't going to count why should we allow it now. Why vote at all if it wouldn't have counted? He wasn't even on the ballot in Mich and people are saying let it count. Edwards and Obama stood by their word, Clinton on the other hand… well she only won 60% alone.

That person claiming to be Obama#1 is obviously a Hillary supporter.

My comment was made at 5:38 pacific time in reaction to CNN deciding Obama had won Mississippi before ANY results were in yet. Outrageous.

Where is the vote count tonight, there has always been a vote count so we can see how the votes are adding up. Where are they, and Peterson 8:20 pm .Please learn to spell.

Talk about some double standards on the Powers issue,,aunt Hill is down right dirty,,,

As for Obama, keep on winning!!! that;s what I'm talking about,,Change we can believe in,,,,Yes we can all the way, through and through,,Go Barack!!!

OBAMA '08

Goes to show you can't call some people stupid. They tend to frown upon that and turn away from you.. right Clinton? When is that woman going to give it up and do what is right by the party and maybe spend a little of her time and try and repair it. No I don't mean a joint ticket. Obama you are making a mistake if you put that woman on your ticket.

Obama 08

No, rules are the rules. The democrats need to unite under the most electable canidate. And that is Barack Obama~ Who is already winning by over 100 delegates, and is favored in national polls over Senator John McCain. The last thing we need is a quarter of the democrats voting for McCain because of a disgusting ending to this nomination.

So tierd of hearing that Obama won because of the black vote in Mississippi.

How did he recently win states like Wisconsin or Vermont? Don't hear much coverage or explanation on that.

The governor of Mississippi….the Katrina savior….is warming up as a VP for the GOP and has never got "IT" that the poor people there are hurting.

Mississippi…..last in everything

HILLARY CLAIMS 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IS HER TICKET BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE TO MAN THE RED PHONE AT 3:00am. IS THAT WHAT SHE REALLY DID WHEN SHE WAS THERE PUTING THE SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR OUT OF A JOB, OR DOING JUST WHAT ? AND HOW QUICKLY THE 35 YEARS HAS TURNED INTO A LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE . IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR
THE RUN DOWN OF THE EXPERIENCE. VOTE OBAMA !

Let's just admit it already that we like both Barrack and hillary and that an Obama/Clinton will best benifit the democratic party and lead us to a victory. They both have just have to stop with the negativity and try more to unite the party.

I find it interesting that it is clear here in Texas we support Sen. Clinton, yet Obama comes out on top. Some people like myself can't get to the caucus. I think all caucuses should be illegal. They don't represent the people as a whole. here in Texas your vote counts twice which is very unfair! When will america and Texas WAKE UP! this isn't a race on who is best fit for the job… its WHO IS BLACK!

What ? economy is No.1 issue.

No. Let's face the real world. It is the race. They are all African Americans voting by the color of their skin..

If I can remember my US History correctly, THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON "DREAMS" AND "WORDS" OF A BETER TOMMOROW.

So far I have heard only one candidate echo the founding principles of this great nation……Obama08.

Obama doesn't know anything about the economy so if it's the number one issue wouldn't they vote for someone who knows the most about it? Why does it seem Obama supporters are so unrational and willing to put down Clinton supporters or McCain supporters. I find Obama supporters to be the least knowledgeable about the issues compared to Clinton and McCain supporters…IMHO

I find it funny how Obama said the below about the people that were hit by Katrina. He did not even come down here to see it for himself.
The Clintons did…I went and saw them. Speak about what you know about….not about what you hear about.
Columbus is a long 6 hours from Biloxi…..I know I live here.

Obama on Monday vowed that the "failed policies of the last 7 years" — including Hurricane Katrina — will be over next year.

"If we're spending $12 billion a month in Iraq, we can spend some of that money right here in the United States of America, rebuilding roads and bridges and hospitals and schools and putting people back to work all across Mississippi, rebuilding the Gulf Coast, rebuilding after the storm — that work is not yet done," he said in Columbus

so all you folks for change on the obama band wagon………..what is barack obamas economic plan to change america??????? how much will it cost the american people?? did the people of ms get to hear this plan? this is a very poor state, and just so that you know that we should send tons of money to take care of this state vs sending it to other countries….these people are very poor on the ms river

THANK YOU GERALDINE! fFNALLY IN YOUR OLD AGE WITH NOTHING TO LOSE YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH.

CLINTON FERRARO 08

This blog CNN mediates only lets people say something bad, racist or sexist towards the opposite candiate. They would like blood bath it seems. Let the controversy end and start posting comments from all points of view and stop making this so Racial!!!!

This is my Third attempt and I will be surprised it they allow it to show

Where's Obama tonight? Why didn't he stay over to thank his
voters? Oh, I guess like the Black Union Conference in New Orleans, he's too busy, moving on!

I have no problem with identity politics. They're the only kind that make any sense. Blacks have every right to vote for Obama because he's black. Strangely, it's also the reason most of his white supporters are voting for him, too.

Race is the 10,000 lb. elephant in the room that won't go away, no matter how dearly people wish it would.

hm. What is Hillary running on the basis of? Her philandering husband.

if Imaricans wants Bush to be thier leader for third term then the best choice will be Clinton not Mc Cain.

Again he takes a small state and they split the delegates……ho hum. The one with the most popular vote in 2000 (by over a million) did not win the White house as we all know. It was the one who took all the big states, one way or another……. If Ms Clinton pulls out Penn and Fl and MI get counted………. we're all tied up again……… I think we are far from over people.

The economy is heading in the wrong direction, outsourcing our military defense and losing our technolgy advantage proves that all free trade let the market decide everything people are complete morons.

america is far to intelligent to make this presidential campaign about the black and white vote; because if they do they could very well be blindsided by the latino vote "hello"!!! If this happens we could be looking at the same nightmare economy that were stuck in now with the recession on the horizon with Mcain running us into the gutter. ferraro is just looking to inject her lame opinions into the fray but who cares what she thinks; she had her shot and we said see ya!!!!

If Amaricans wants Bush to be thier leader for third term then the best choice will be Clinton not Mc Cain

As I was reading some of the above comments, I almost forgot that I was reading CNN and its coverage on American politics. Why would such a great nation be so behind in its views and equality of women and individuals of all races? Also, I would like to understand the logic of how a woman is responsible for her husband's infidelity. Shouldn't the man be responsible for his own actions? People should start takgin responsibility for their own actions and/or decisions. Where would man be without a woman?

GO OBAMA!!!!!

Enjoy the wins while you can. Most of the states he won are republican states. People are voting for him, because they know McCain will get all those votes in the general election. you all just fell right into the trap. talk about bamboozled, hoodwinked, you are doing it to yourselves. All obama can do is whine about Hillary..wah wah…Hillary said this…Hillary said that….who is he going to whine to when things get tough in the White House? He has done nothing in the senate, what makes you think he can accomplish something in the White House? he is a wimpy, whiey, no substance, that is full of vanity.

Now let's be honest and realistic. I think that both Voters are very ectible indeed and there is no question or doubt that Clinton has an overwhelming experience as she has been in a congress and seved as Bill clinton's spouse. However Obama is a fresh host and positive candfidate and matches the american people's craviness for a change. I think that if clinton wnis the nomination, Jonh mcain will surely the presidential election. But it will be head to head if barrack faces John Mcain. Better for the Democracts, vote Obama

OBAMBA STATED THAT HE LOOK AT MISSISSIPPI AS JUST ANOTHER WIN…. nOW YOU TELL ME DO THAT SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY WE SHOULD HAVE LEADING OUR AMERICA

Congrats to Obama. Looks Like he is going to get the nod. I say it is time form some new blood in the white house, and should Obama be that nom inee for the democrats….i will vote for him. He sure as heck fire can't be any worse than Bushy and I don't believe Chelbillary are going to act in the little guys interests. Not that Obama will….but he will certainly be under alot of scrutiny to get some things done. McCain? I will leave this country and immigrate to Mexico or something if he wins the GE. Ain't no way will I allow anymore of my money or my children gone to the land of sand to fight for Richie Riches Oil War.

You are all naive to think that race is not in this election. It could just as well be OJ running against Hilary,& the african americans would vote for him. Why did you call the Mississippi primary after 27 minutes, if it wasn't for the supposed black vote there???

exactly WHAT part of Ferrarro's statement was wrong or a lie?
Read this very cnn page and see how many times barack is referred to as the "black presidential candidate."

look at any news program and count how many times Obama's Race is brought up with regard to his run for president.

dont be duped and go along with this cry baby.
every time you look at him he wants to burst out into tears?
who needs this whineing?

face some issues.
address the problems in your grandmother's home, KENYA!

DO SOMETHING BESIDES CRYING ALL THE TIME!

Come on people, let's be realistic, Obama is getting black votes because he is black and Hillary is getting votes because she is a woman, so what? Yes, I'm not afraid to say it, so what? People have a natural tendency to vote for who they relate with the most. The fact that black people can be so overly sensitive is ridiculous.

The thing that I don't like is the bias that CNN has so obviously shown toward Obama. I have seen them repeatedly cutting off people who speak on Hillary's behalf. I have also seen their slight comments on Obama's behalf. I have been watching more Headline News because I have not witnessed near the bias as I have seen on CNN.

. . . . . . .Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush Clinton, Nafta, job loss. How many
FOR SALE signs can we count on in yards. Gee, years of experience and a screwed up country. Time for change.

OBAMA 08.

Again, the exit polls say the top issue is the economy. However, the actual votes don't add up that way. It makes no sense to say the economy is your top concern and then vote for someone with so little national experience, let alone economic experience. These exit poll questions are just a joke.

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.

Shana

I am black and voted for Obama because I want change, not because of his skin color. I am impacted by the economy as other Americans are. I am fed up with the aisle-splitting in Washington, the lies and misrepresentation.

The former first lady mud slinging campaign is a reminder of politics as usual. One week she is nice. The next week she is being mistreated by the media. Then "shame on you" comment. Then she comes out quoting comments from a foreign government. With all of her experience, one would expect her to reject interference from another country in the US election process. She has used the scar tactic. I hope most voters know the president is not along in the White House at 3:00 a.m. during a crisis. There are all kinds of briefings and recommendations on possible appropriate actions. It is important what decision the president makes after receiving the facts.
Last week she and McCain were the only quilified candidates. By the weekend Obama qualified to be her VP. This week one of her top finance officer says Obama is only winning because he is not white. If the DNC doesn't step in and stop this party destruction, McCain will win by a landslide. There will be four more years of the Bush policies!

Are people looking at how the Clinton campaign spends their money? She spends like there is no tomorrow on expensive hotel bills (check out what they spent in Las Vegas!), flowers, lavish food spreads, etc. I think if we are worried about our economy we would look at the candidate that manages their money better, and that would NOT be the Clinton campaign.

Go Clinton ,she is far better at this than OBAMA BOO BOO BOO
What is wrong with you people

Also, please, even if you support Sen. Obama, quit saying "that woman." Regardless of your opinion of her, she is a U.S. Senator and deserves at least that much respect, as does Sen. Obama… And please quit using the ridiculous logic of Hillary staying with Bill as a reason to hate her. No wonder our country is in the shape it is, no one has any respect for anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Hey the states Clinton won any democrat will win. So why do people say he won't win them. Any democrat is going to win those big states because they are blue states!

The difference is Obama could change the electoral map and add other states also. That way he may not have to depend on Ohio or maybe Florida. This is what he brings to the table.

Why give the winner to Obama so soon when only 15% of the precents are in???? You all are so bias it ia unbeliveable!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she was ahead you would not conceedit to her . Shame on you.. You have annointed him as the President and nothing she can do is right. This is just a shame that the press can throw and election. You will be sorry!!!!!!!!!!

Barack will never be president of the USA. This primary has revealed his flawed, raciest, arrogant, ego driven and power hungry character.

Hillary the HOPE of 08 or McCain!
