CNN

As the Democratic race goes on, it become more polarized along racial and gender lines. Blacks used to be for Clinton before they realized maybe an African-American COULD get elected. Then they switched candidates so fast, your head spun. So saying this isn't about race is absurd. McCain will get the white votes-older men and women-if Obama is the candidate. That's all you need to know.

THIS IS OBAMA'S YEAR HE IS LEADING IN THE POPULAR VOTE AND DELEGATES AND IS TIED WITH MCCAIN IN THE WAY THAT HILIBILLY IS HMMMMMMM.... I THINK HE WINS......!>...BESIDES HILIABILLY HAD THERE TURN!!!

The primaries are just "a game for galleries"? Is it really true that superdelegates can vote for which candidate they feel is the most electable and not the popular vote" – somebordy told me that! Otherwise you just have to count the votes from Florida and Michigan.

Who care about this poll anyway? Hillary will beat John McCain in a landslide anyway. Go Hillary!

So what if Rep. are voting for Hillary. We don't like McCain. But put him against Obama and see how many change their minds.

Hillary– your desperation is costing the Party. Drop out NOW!

The POLLS today don't mean a thing. It is a waste of your money. These dollars could be better spent on more in-depth reporting, as ABC does, instead of filling out the time with biased political operatives.

What a sad day for the Democratic Party. The vicious fight between the two candidates has completely gone too far. Does Obama gain an edge with Black voters? Absolutely!! What's wrong with supporting a person of like color? Hillary will gain votes from women and that is completely understandable. What I do not understand is why you can't accept the fact that both of these candidates face discrimination. One for being black and the other for being a women. You do not have to belittle Hillary to feel good about voting for Obama. Both of these candidates are strikingly similar so wake up and stop pulling your party apart! If both of them were middle age white men who would you vote for?

If all the elected Democratic officials, who are superdelegates, want to be reelected in November, They need to publicly endorse Obama NOW and cut off all possibilty of Hillary's hopes of winning the nomination. Obama needs to be fundraising and getting ready for McCain.

Everyone sees how Hillary is polarizing and causing divisisness within the party. It's either go down in flames caused by Hillary's divisiveness and polarization OR defeat the Republicans outright with Obama.

Despite an unpopular president and war, unprecedented Democratic turnout, low consumer confidence, etc., John McCain is running even with both of his opponents. Amazing!
----------–
Take all that is reported with the GREAT SALT LAKE!

If Obama wins the Democratic ticket, McCain will be the next president, hands down.

McCain will lose ground as the election approaches no matter if it's Clinton or Obama. It will be a Democratic President for the next 4 or 8 years.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wake me up when we start talking about something interesting.

Despite an unpopular president and war, unprecedented Democratic turnout, low consumer confidence, etc., John McCain is running even with both of his opponents. Amazing!

Susan,

"I beleive he is for his.. people. We.. need to be for ours!"

You are the defenition of a racist and a biggot. As a 30 year old, white, northern supporter of Obama, I represent "his people" too. Whatever "people" you stand for, I want no part of it!!!

to Independent...... FYI Florida already does mail-in voting. Has for years. It's called absentee.

Here's what they do: 1. mail out ballots. 2. fill them out. 3. mail them in. 4. count them.

Here's what they are proposing to do: 1. mail out ballots. 2. fill them out. 3. mail them in. 4. count them.

I know Obama has trouble with this, but the rest of us don't. He's just whining as usual and has now added stalling.

Go to detox, get off the kool-aid. In case you haven't figured it out yet, just because Obama says it, doesn't mean it's so.

HILLARY! We need you! Most of my friends support you! I spread their voices here. We do not need someone looks charming and knows how to talk. We do need someone knows how to act.

WHY DO WE RISK OURSELVES TO CHOOSE SOMEONE WE DON'T KNOW ???

HILLARY 08 !!! We need you! Most of my friends support you! I spread their voices here. We do not need someone looks charming and knows how to talk. We do need someone knows how to act.

We still remember the Old Bush Era when we COULD NOT FIND A JOB FOR 8 MONTHS after graduating from college; We could not forget the time we send out 50 RESUMES and wait and wait and wait without any response; We could not forget how the bad economy affected our daily life when we were FRESH OUT FROM COLLEGE ...

We need you to clear the Bushes; We need you to bring us back our budget surplus; We need you to bring our economy back; We need you to GIVE US CONCRETE SOLUTIONS FOR THE COUNTRY! WE TRUST AND BACK YOU !!!

WHY DO WE RISK OURSELVES TO CHOOSE SOMEONE WE DON'T KNOW ???

If NBC's biased polls have McCain within their statistical error. It's a shoe in for McCain.., not to mention the up coming DNC melt down.

If it isn't Clinton, McCain '08

Not for long. If Obama wins the nomination, Hillary backers such as myself will go for McCain rather than see Obama in the White House.

Hillary is helping McCain with her divisive campaign and mud slinging. She is making it difficult for either democrat to be elected. The DNC needs to get their ct together. Their flip flopping to help Hillary with Michigan and Florida is playing right into the republican plans.

If you are Democrat this is for you.........stop dogging each other out, ultimately both candidates stand for the same things. The #1 goal is to make things better, whether it's with/without experience, RIGHT NOW JUST PLAIN OLD COMMON SENSE WILL DO. They both will surround themselves with the best of the best, that's their job as a COMMADER-AND-CHEIF. The responsibility of the job is to say yes or no, not to come up with the freaking concepts, that's what the experts are for. DAMMIT if you ALL are not RACIST! This place was built on a racial hierarchy, everyone knows that, but that will also be the downfall of this exact same place. Whether your black, white, yellow, purple, blue or green I'm hoping that my life on this earth is long, because with all this hating my children have NO chance at being accepted as they are. As of right now my children are being taught about racial differences, and it's not by me, by their peers in school. My kindergartener's first lesson when he entered school was that because his skin color was different from a potential friend, they could not be friends and to this day they do not play together. This place will never let unity prevail. It's too much like right!

Obama can't win in Nov. the man does not have one idea of his own and I hope he is paying his speach writer well. If he doesn't have a speech in front of him he can't talk. UH UH UH UH Pause Pause Pause and I agree with Hillary. What a joke and people fall for this. People fell for George Bush telling them he was going to unite and bring everyone together and they fell for it and now here we go again.

Trev – your statement is grossly inaccurate. You are getting the idea that Hillary would be leading in the popular vote if MI and FL were factored in based on the MI "primary", where Obama's name was not on the ballot. Certainly MI is a large state, and if you factor Hillary's 55% into her popular vote total, while including NOTHING for Obama, you may see her get a fake "lead" in the overall popular vote. This is not persuasive in any way, nor indicative of anything!

If MI and FL revote, even if Hillary wins, there is literally no way she will win by a large enough margin to reclaim any lead in the popular vote.

Literally, Hillary will have had the fewest votes, states won, and pledged delegates by the time this thing is over. Her ONLY argument is some facade about being more experienced, and the idea that she can win the "big states", of which she can no longer legitimately include Texas.

If Kevin Maddin's only way to make a living is to stand
up and tell lies like the above, he should be fired or
get the hook.

The Democrats have been busting their butts out on the
Campaign trail. McCain has BBQ's at his house for cronies.
McCain and Lieberman are going to Paris, London, and
Jerusulam. Not Iraq. And they are calling it a trip to the Middle
East. Taxpayers are Stupid, aren't they John. So are Voters stupid,
John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No I think the voters have smartened up.

OBAMA 2008

I think McCain is benefiting from some bitter Democrats. Because the race has turned sour, there are some Democrats who claim that they will vote for McCain if the Democrat they support is not chosen. This will probably fade once the Democratic nomination is finalized, but the longer it takes to finish, the deeper the wounds.

I believe that the only way Hillary can win is for the superdelegates to go against the popular vote and/or pledged delegates. This would be a disaster and make it much harder for her to unite the party.

Unless she wins PA by a HUGE margin (and ideally once the polls show Obama has closed the gap), she should drop out.

really susan... Its a race issue for those who can't see past a person's skin color (kinda like you). It is not only black people who support Obama; he wouldn't be in the lead if it was only them supporting him. People of all backgrounds support him because of his vision. As for experience, FDR, Abraham Lincoln and some of our best presidents would be considered rookies by those standards. And they served during some of the most trying times in history. Meanwhile many of the worst US presidents in history served decades in Congress. It seems it is you who needs to 'wake up'.

As always, leave it to the uneducated Obamaniacs to blame Hillary. I thought there was no education in the ghettos, how do they figure Obama has the smarter voters

This Dem (along with many others here in Pennsylvania) will vote McCain in November if Obama is the candidate. I just can't buy what he is selling.

If Hillary would just realize it's over for her, and throw her support behind Barack Obama, all this wouldn't be an issue.

Democrats are so predictable! Do you not even see the civil war taking place in your own party?! You are all caught up in this popularity contest of race and gender, you can't even see that your candidates are 90% THE SAME!!! But apparently you all don't vote on issues, only the color of someone's skin! Thats why the republicans will win. Because while you're too busy feasting on each other like cannibals, us republicans are coming to terms with our candidate and slowly getting behind him. Yes, he may not be my first choice, but since Liberal Fascism is my last choice, I'll stick with the candidate that promises the most FREEDOMS, and not the most earmarks and bogus social programs!

Obama or Clinton the democratic party will have a united front against the gop. I'm a black person supporting Obama, but will fully support Sen Clinton if she is the party choice. I refuse to buy into the current party divide, which will lead to a McCain victory. TO ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS: I REPECT YOUR VIEWS AND EMPATHY WITH YOU!!!!! WE MAY DISAGREE BUT AREN'T DISLOCATED IN OBJECTIVE.... I VOTE DEMOCRATIC!!!!!!

It is stunning that Obama supporters blame Hillary Clinton for John McCain's strength in the polls.

Barak Obama began running for President as soon as he was sworn into the Senate. Soon afterwards the Obama tour began with one nauseating speech after another. Clinton has been easy on him. Just wait until the Republicans get their shot.

That means that Obama loses to McCain just ask Tom Bradly and other black politicians who were ahead in the polls yet lost in the general election. It's called the Tom Bradely effect as I found out this year on CNN.
Right now Obama and his supporters are alienating Florida and Michigan voter to the point that those two states will end up for McCain.

The votes in Michigan and Florida should not count... Split the delegates and seat 'em, Hold your ground Howard Dean. Just think of George Bush (scary thought !!) and Republican is not the way to go. This war is NOT the way to go. The economy will still suffer with all monies going to Iraq like McCain wants. Hillary will use every dirty tactic at her disposal to get this nomination – MIchigan, Florida, Super Delegates, false accusations, racial inuendo, you name it. If Hillary would just give up, Barack can concentrate on McCain...

Go away Hillary ... Go Barack !!!!!

Susan - Funny you should mention Mississippi, Dear! I'm registered to vote in Mississippi, and guess what? I'm actually WHITE!!! So are numerous other of my family members who also voted for Obama. It sounds as if you're a Redneck who is prejudiced against black people! If anyone has NOT SHOWN ARROGANCE, it has been Barack Obama! You need to get your facts straight, Dear. Also, you need to learn English. It is not "orientated"; it is "oriented"! Let's see now, who's the rookie? Barack Obama?!! I don't think so! He speaks English very eloquently, unlike some.

Fellow Voters: It is not necessary for Clinton to be evil if Obama is good. It is not necessary for Obama to be evil if Clinton is good. They are two good candidates, well-motivated for the most part, capable, and I would be pleased to vote for an Obama-Clinton ticket or a Clinton-Obama ticket. To like one, you do not have to hate the other. To support one, you do not have to disparage the other.

Our choice is between two capable and well-intentioned candidates. We have not always been so lucky. Neither candidate is tarnished with a scandal in any area that matters. Maybe Obama is not much on policy, but he's inspirational. His Senate career is not as impressive as his opponent's, but neither was Lincoln's. Maybe Clinton has rubbed elbows with some marginal characters, taken contributions from a few, but there is a lot of crooked money in every candidate's treasury – or working for him off the books. We all know this. We also know that Clinton is a tough, durable personality that will weather any storm and remain functional in a crisis situation. Can we afford to do without the talents of either one? Why are we, on this blog, tearing down these two good people?

Would you prefer McCain? – Who, by the way, is a pretty decent guy. He's not senile, he's not evil, and he'd probably make about as good a president as Bush Sr. did. Better than his son and better than Reagan (who was senile).

Good! Finally people are realizing again that Clinton is far more electable than Obama. This media farce is wasting away and the voters of the nation are seeing much more clearly!

Also, CNN please block the posts that make offensive statements about gender, race, and the insinuation that candidates are mentally ill (i.e. need medication). It is disgusting reporting, and since you keep blocking plenty of civil posts, it is important to block these radical offensive people.

Keep fighting Hillary!! If you are not on the Democratic ticket, alot of us will move over and vote for McCain. Obama does not have the experience to act as President.

Duhhhh.

Of course, it is all Hillary's fault. Along with:

1. Global warming
2. Plate techtonics
3. The extinction of the dinosaurs

If Obama wants to end the primaries early (before everyone gets to make a choice) then he should do more to close the deal. He can't get to 2025 delegates any more than HRC can. As a result, he is going to have to earn the nomination by winning a majority of the popular vote and taking his case to the supers. Maybe that is why he wants to punish voters in FL and MI for something party leaders (in one case GOP party leaders) did. If eveyone gets to vote, Hillary will win the popular vote. Then the supers will have to decide if they want the candidate with the most pledged delegates (but not enough to win) or the candidate with the most votes.

Hillary 08

Susan we have allowed ALOT of rookies in the past to be President. I would argue that every first term president is a rookie. What possible experiance could prepare someone for the size and scope of this job? As we see in the Bush's even a father as president does not promise a good president. (same can be said for the Adam's look it up folks it will be in your history books). We need to look at the judgement, the character, the poise, and the ideals of who we are electing, experiance is a chimera for this job. Strength of Character is the deciding factor.

My opinion is widley known I believe that Mr. Obama has the factors that would make a good president, if not him potentially Mr. McCain. The issues they want to happen are not something they can promise they can only promise an attempt but there are 544 other people who have an input onto their ideas (100 senators, 9 justices, 435 representative (I may be off on this count)) and they are all affected by US the PEOPLE so I do not believe any one of the candidates will get everything they promise through.

As an independent who voted for Obama, if (god-forbid) HRC was the Dem nominee, my vote will go to McCain ! She is a disservice to the Dem Party and to women. Her agenda is all about her wants, not 'our' needs.

McCain is the worst candidate the Repubs could put against the Dems–he's popular with swing voters, who would otherwise vote against the idea of another Republican presidency on general principle after the Bush fiasco.

Obama is popular with swing voters and even some Republicans. He's inclusive, which is important to swing voters. Clinton, due to her divisiveness, is not popular with swing voters.

This is why every poll for the last 2 months shows Obama beating McCain by a bigger margin than Clinton beating McCain.

Sorry, McCain. But I think Obama's going to be your opponent.

Keep making negative comments about Hillary and lets see if Obama will win in November. See how far your movement and your big WAVE could take you. With only 50% of the Democrats voting in Novemver!

Vote for barack, he represents change. He'll represent everyone because he is everyone. His gay side will appeal to gays, his race will appeal to to black and whites, his gender will appeal to men and his feminine side to women. his religion confusion will appeal to muslims and christians, that pretty much covers change. Yup the first, feminine, black, gay, muslim-christian president ever. go barack, you go girl!!!! two snaps in a circle!

I am disgusted. Here the democrats have the presidency handed to them on a silver platter in what should be one of the most historic presidential election ever. But instead of rising as a party we turn it into nothing more than a racial debate. There have been other woman candidates but non who have shown the fight and resiliency of Clinton. There have been other black candidates but none who could inspire both white and black and make us hope again. But instead of honoring these to candidates every comment shows me we have polarized our party. We could have came together if the debate had just been experience vs change. But you cannot bridge a racial divide in a couple of months. Way to go democrats.

Democratic Party Self Destruct 08

Let the Republican lies begin!!!!!!!!!!!!Anyone who believes
this one, should watch the Democrats busting their a--
out on the campaign trail---and watch McCains agenda
last weekend--BBQ for cronies. Who paid for That?
Soon McCain, Leiberman, and Linsey Graham are "leaving
on a jet plane" to visit Paris, London, and Jeruselem.
Jeruselem is why they can call this a trip to the Middlle East.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP IN IRAQ.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008
Hillary you can leave now.
From Retired Professional w/woman of 63 for Obama from Day 1

To Susan,

Barack's mother is White. He's as much White as he is Black.

That is why it is so important for America that he is elected. He will help heal this nation and bring us together.

McCain may raise 100 million dollars, but he still will not be able to beat the democratic nominee in November. Whether it be Barack or Hillary, we will unite as a party, and win the national election.

That is why we are called the Democratic party.

The initials, BO sure fit don't they?

Belle, I agree.

I do wish that those people who consistently post juvenile, ill-informed and spiteful comments on the Ticker would take advantage of their "better education" and for once THINK before they open their mouths and make themselves look ridiculous. It wouldn't hurt to learn to spell and punctuate correctly either.

Carrie, you have never thought any differently, quit lying!!!!!!!!

What gives Obama the arrogance.. to jump ahead of all the other Republicans and Democrates in the experience arena? His race mabe? People... wake up.. No one would allow a rookie int he past to run this country and change to him and his people is the mission to have a black man run for peresident. Mississippi the news media indicated is a primarily black orientated state. This speaks volumns. All the black people are up in arms on the news in support of him and they are trying to say this is not a race issue? Wake Up! It is and will continue to be. I beleive he is for his.. people. We.. need to be for ours!

Hillary needs to drop out ot save this election for the democrats. I thought there would be no way a republicans could win in November but after losing her frontrunner status to Obama, Hillary has gone "nuclear" and is destroying the race for everyone. Even if she won the nomination "Fairly", the Paul vs. Clinton case is coming up on April 25th and that is definitely going to kill any chances of her beating the republicans. The democrats are quick to forget that she might actually be in JAIL by next November. Democrats, please come together and get behind Obama! Its the only chance we have to win the White House!!

He won't be for long! His war heroism will not get him through this race!

Andrew – It is quite the opposite: Clinton can't defend herself on the issue of terrorism and national security to the same extent that Obama can since she DID vote for the war. She will be burried alive on that front by the McCain campaign! Let's be realistic here

Obama has created a movment.....You cannot stop a movement...You either come along or get caught up in the movement...Either way you are coming..........Think of a giant wave coming at ya!

If Obama is the democratic candidate.McCain wins the presidency.Obama can't compete in the larger states.More of Hillarys voters say they won't vote for Obama,since Hillary won the big states this leaves them to McCain.
IF YOU WANT A REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I came to the realization that Hillary is a monster.

As a democrat and an African American, my opinion is that we need to stop focusing on the candidates and their fight. We need to now focus on the bottom line, and that is getting a Democratic candidate in office. We need to stop fighting among ourselves. It's not about either candidate winning but about us unifying and getting one of them in office. Stop the bickering and fighting about the candidates. Remember what we stand for as democrats and vote accordingly. I am for Hillary but in the end I'm going to vote for my party regardless of who wins. Let's stay focused.

I think the news castor's are pushing the RACE & GENDER ISSUES over which canident has experience and can do the job that George Bush has not. He should resign and give back salary because he has not earned it.
I want to know what each candidate is going to do and how they are going to do it! Not hear all the WHIMPERING & WHINING THE ONLY COMES FROM THE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. The word Obama is the first word out of the mouth and no substance. Get real people is this the next leader of the US??

We need to end the infighting…Obama please drop out so Clinton can concentrate on Grandpa.

Go Hillary

If Obama is the nominee, McCain will win in Novemebr.

We want Hillary

Shame on the Clintons for pulling down the democratic party.Obama is the people's choice and she needs to step down,period.

The Democratic Party's power brokers need to end this division NOW. The party is going to be irreversibly divided and that is exactly what the Republicans want. This has to stop. Keith Olbermann was right.

It doesn't matter how long the Democratic nominating process takes, or even who th Democratic candidate is. As long as the economy is still in shambles and our servicemen and women are still being needlessly put in harm's way in Iraq come November, there is NO WAY that McCain can win.

Obama/Colin Powell is a ticket I'd vote for!!

Obama '08!

Hillary aint going to drop out.America knows they need her.You think Obama is going to win this election,your fooled. He bought all of you voters.Our country's high power ,super deligates are not going to let a canadate that needs on the job training to lead our country.Maybe if you Clinton haters could get past Obamas smooth talk,empty promises and big dreams ,you might wake up before its to late.Its a shame alot of you have to jump on the bandwagon for Obama ,because you dont want a woman leader.It will be America's lost if HRC dont make the oval office.She is our only prayer to have the changes you all think your God Obama will deliver you. Rebublicans will eat him up if he is the elected one.All your hopes ,changes and dreams will be just what they are ,none. Eat your pride and think about our country before its to late. Go Hillary concerned Vet

The tightening of this race has less to do with McCain surging than it has to do with Hillary submerging the Democratic Party in a bog of divisive negativiity. Hillary is the RNC's best friend right now...just ask Rush Limbaugh. She even said McCain was more qualified than Obama to be President...I'm sure we'll see that clip played ad nauseum this fall. Oh well, if Hillary doesn't win the nomination, at least she's setting herself up for a nice position in the production of commercials for the McCain campaign.

Internationally Florida has a very bad reputation when it comes to elections. If the election of the next president in your country does not have been performed in a procedure that has made it possible to every citizen to express his/her opinion, the reputation of the United States of America will be badly damaged once again. As a intellectual experiment let's suppose that Obama or Clinton internationally will become a failure. Than it should be in the interst of the United States that presidential election at least was performed in a proper way.

Kepp in mind that most polling is done on land lines, many of the younger generation that supports Obama wholeheartedly only carry cell phones, if you keep this in mind the polling is skewed.

I don't think McCain stands a chance in November, the war is decidedly unpopular in America, across party lines in many cases, Obama understands that we have been distracted by Iraq, only made the ability to recuit Al-Queda stronger, and hurt our standing in the global community, he is the only candidate who can restore what has been lost.

Just as Obama surprized Hillary who was the self-annointed candidate and this was all just supposed to be a ceremonial process, so will the die-hard Republicans find that Obama has a lot more substance of what this country needs to move forward as a nation on the issues most pressing post-GWB: finding the quickest exit out of Iraq that is safe for our troops; renewing relationships and legitimacy around the world; reconfigure the tax code to stop the handouts to corporations and the ultrarich; complete legislation on universal healthcare/wellcare without the insurance companies, pharma companies, or hospitals writing the legislation; seek energy independence and economic investment in 'green' technologies; make pre-k possible in every state; make two years of college or technical training available to every young American willing to commit two years of service to the country; address the issue of illegal alliens without demonizing the contribution of all new Americans; and, start work on anti-lobbying/decreasing the influence of corporations on capital hill, then work on public funding of campaigns and limited spending on campaigns.

Meanwhile, as the country gets to know McSame better, they'll realize what a limited, tired out repatoire he has and hand Obama the landslide he'll need for a legislative mandate for change!

Correction on previous post......

I f Hillary would stop saying things like '"McCain is more qualified than Obama", then Obama would go back to being ahead of McCain by 6-8 points, before she started her " Kitchen sink" attacks….

I can't ever remember a Republican stating that an opposition Democrat was more qualified than someone from their own party. Hillary will stoop to just about anything to get this nomination, in my opinion.

Looks like McCain is going to be the winner of all the races.
Obama can not win the GE, and the rebubs have demonized Hillary.
The bad blood the rebubs have inserted in every fabric of this race is mountainous! Every thing, and everybody has been bought and paid for and the losers are of course US!

Congratulations Hate Mongers!

See how a tie....brings you out of the wood work!

Lovely to see how you accuse Senator Clinton of HATE with YOUR nasty comments about her! That certainly is wooing my vote to Obama...don't you think?

Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that eventhough McCain may have more support from the republicans than Hillary or Obama does from the democrats, Democrats are still out voting Republicans like 2:1? DEMOCRATS in '08!!!!! Let's fix our what this administration has ruined!

Also, for all you democrats who will vote republican becasue of Hillary, not only shame on you, but you are all idiots. Do you even listen to yourself? It makes no sense. On the main issues, Hillary and Obama are almost identicle. Voting for McCain is voting for another Bush administration that only looks out for its self interest and could care less about the citizens of this country.

Remember Bush = War = Criminal

if Hillary would stop saying things like '"McCain is more qualified than Obama", then Obama would go back to being ahead of McCain by 6-8 points, before she started her " Kitchen sink" attacks....

I can't ever remember a Republican stating that an opposition Republican was more qualified than someone from their own party. Hillary will stoop to just about anything to get this nomination, in my opinion.

These polls are just fluff. Read six polls and get six different break downs. First, you don't know exactly what questions were asked, or how they were asked. Then you don't know how the answers were scored. Then you don't know if those that were polled were actually a random sample of the population (you need a random sample to get accuracy in any poll). Additionally, "statistical tie" is a nonsensical phrase that the media often uses to cover the fact they didn't do a thorough poll.

There is one huge elephant in the room here. You cannot possibly predict what an election is going to look like if you don't know who the running mates are. To make a bit of a silly example, imagine McCain and Kervorkian running against Obama-Clinton. Who do you think would win? Now mix things up a bit, have Kervorkian put Hillary to sleep, and have Obama-Edwards against McCain-Romney. OK. OK. Maybe a bad example, but I like it anyway.....

CNN...PLEASEEEEEE POST THIS

WHY SHOULD DEMOCRATES UNITE ???

DEMOCRATS NEED TO GET UNITED.... because what the republicans want to do is create so much fear that people will stop voting for OBAMA and then they'll vote for Hillary....

WHAT Hillary supporters don't realize is that if she gets nominated republicans will OPEN HER CLOSET AND LET ALL OF HER SKELETONS FALL OUT.....AND WHERE WOULD THAT LEAD IS IN NOVEMBER?

...to John McCain

Please don't be blind to this!

Obama

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

HILLARY PLEASE KEEP YOU UNDERLYING NEGATIVE ATTACKS GOING. FIRST PLANT THE SEED ABOUT OBAMA BEING BLACK AND TRY A SCARE THE COUNTRY IN THE ELECTING A BLACK MAN PRESIDENT AND THAN APOLOGIZE TO THE MEDIA FOR ANY COMMENTS MADE REGARING THE OBAMA BLACK ISSUE. MEAN WHILE YOU GOT THE WORD OUT ALREADY. GOOD JOB, WIN AT ALL COST HILLARY. HOW DO YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR???????????????

I hope Hillary comes to her senses very soon.

Obama continues to be the lead Democratic candidate, in every way shape or form. Clinton continues to erode the Democrats' chances of winning the presidency this year.

I can fully understand, that she feels it was taken away from her, after all, she was the front runner at the begining of the campaign... and Obama came out of no where and caught the spirit, from both Democrats and Republicans. Dem's the breaks, man.

When the candidates fight, nobody wins. I think, even McCain understands this. He made the first significant denouncement of the season, when that radio DJ made fun of Obama's middle name.

Comeon guys... let's get it together. Let's act presidential for a change.

These polls are way early and are more than likely slanted by the I will not vote for X but for McCain if X is my candidate is not chosen anger than anything else. relax let things go for a while. Once the dems decide on a candidate then we will see real (ok more real) polling statistics the thing for the dems to bring out of this is that even with all the animosity currently present (and it WILL fade after Denver) they still lead Mr. McCain. These polls should be more worrying to the Republicans than the Democrats.

In spite of the mainstream media and the uninformed fawning over Obama and his hollow promises of whatever, Conservative America will slowly unite (just like '00 and '04) this summer and get behind McCain.

Even Conservatives who don't agree with his stance on some issues will vote for him in the long run....because they sure aren't going to vote for one either one of those liberal/socialists (especially Billary) when it comes down to it!

"No you wont!"

"HOPE" is not a method....only a nice sound bite

News based on polls is stupid, Report the news, dont make it up based on a weak sample of republican and democrat voters, The whole thing is flawed from the start.

Ask 50 republicans who is gonna win, ask 50 democrats who is gonna win.. Hey look its a statistical tie! well duh. of course it is.

Darth Vadik, if everyone on this forum who says they'll vote for McCain if "their" Democrat isn't the nominee actually does, McCain will sweep the election.

Of course, they actually won't. It's all hot air.

And once the Democratic Party joins forces behind our eventual nominee – Barack Obama – we'll work together to leavev John McCain in the dust. I'm thinking along the lines of LBJ's victory over Barry Goldwater in 1964 – something that may spell the end of the Conservative Revolution.

(BTW, the conservatives lose.)

How is that Republicans refuse to open their eyes wide to the popular and electoral college voting blood bath they are going to take in November? What is going on in the Democratic race at the moment has absolutely no meaning in the outcome of the General Election. The GOP struts out their has been talking points i.e., "National Security", "Patriotism", "Family Values", "Leadership", "Trust", "Experience", "Apple Pie", "Chevrolet" and thinks the electorate will simply kowtow to the party line and vote Republican. Hear it here, it doesn't matter who the Democratic ticket is, Obama / Clinton, Clinton / Obama they are going to deliver a butt whipping to McCain so bad you would think that Mondale was running again.

Obama will not beat McCain in November, he should not even be the nominee. His Senate record stinks, his State Senate record stinks. (Hint he is BO) He did not vote for the war because he could not. He would have most likely have voted the same as everyone else if he had of been in the US Senate. He is a reverse racist who uses race if it benefits him, rebukes it, if it does not. He preaches change, but enlist the support of the same old, same old. Every person who has ever ran for office, preaches change and the only thing that really changes is the names of the players.

You can't go by these polls as the Republicans will be out in droves to vote come Nov. vs. the low turnout for the primaries. McCain had locked the deal up early.

To me, the choice is Clinton or McCain. I don't trust Obama with his polarized movement.

It's going to be very hard for HRC to overcome Obama in pledged delegates or even in the popular vote, even if you re-do and she wins handily the MI and FL primaries.

Given this, her only realistic hope is to convince the suerpdelegates that she is markedly more electable than Obama in beating McCain in a general election and the only way for her to do that is to continue to throw Obama under the bus while elevating McCain, as she did just prior to the Ohio and Texas primaries on the issue of national security. If she succeeds in doing that, and if she does well enough in the coming months to go to the convention only 50 or so delegates behind Obama, she might still be able to get the nomination, though with tremendous bad blood left on the convention floor.

Regardless, for this reason, I fully expect her to trash Obama relative to McCain in the comnig weeks and especially in the few days before each remaining pivotal primary. It will be ugly and disgusting and ultimately harmful to the party, but she has proven she has no compunctions in doing it and so will continue.

What telephone poll are you reading? The NBC/WSJ Poll said that Obama would beat McCain by 10 points...Hillary doesn't even come close.

If Hillary wins this democrat is voting McCain. Meaning McCain is now beating Hillary.

This is only what polls say NOW. Once Obama becomes the Democratic candidate, unforunately, Republicans will run a disgusting fear-based campaign – mostly involving terrorism and National Security (did you ever wonder how Bush won a second time around?). Obama really can't defend himself on this issue, and will have a really, really hard time winning. This is where Clinton has a leg up on Obama. Clinton will be able to defend herself against McCain; Obama will not. Obama wins Democratic candidacy? McCain will win. Clinton wins Democratic candicacy? Clinton will win. It doesn't matter what the polls say now. Let's be realistic here.

Thanks, Hillary

FL cannot hold a mail-in vote. It's against the state's law.
Clinton needs to stop prolonging the inevitable because her scorched earth policy is only going to allow McCain to secure votes that Obama could get and she could not.

Predictions:
If Clinton stays in after PA – regardless of the result, McCain will win in Nov.

The earlier Clinton gets out, the larger margin Obama will beat McCain by.

THE ONLY REASON MCCAIN IS IN A TIE BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING FOR HILLARY. THIS IS A FALSE CLAIM.

Draw clear on the straight, John! With Hillary in Second Place right on your shoulder. You need her for the extra 2 furlongs to the wire.

John and Hillary – 1 and 2, with Obama
the Christian, tailed off in third.....

A statistical ties my foot! Obama or Clinton will clean the floor with McCain in November! Although the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll shows some hypothetical tie, just who are they polling? GO DEMOCRATS!

This shows 2 things; Obama is NOT JUST GETTING THE BLACK VOTE!!! He can straight out beat McCain in an American population that is only 13% black. GET IT!!!!

Second thing, Clinton can't beat McCain, even though she has a slight advantage. You wait until Rush and the other anti-Clinton media circus get done with this woman. You Clinton backers need to ask yourselves, do you want your candidate, or do you want 4 or maybe 8 more years of war, high gas prices, a poor economy, and republican rule.

Some soul searching is in need here.

all thanks to hillary bringing the democratic party down!!

if she was truly for this country and the democratic party, she would not have gone negative!!!!!

Keep dreaming Republicans,
even if it goes to the convention, we'll have 3 months to finish off McCain and his futile campaign, we will only need a week.

McCain will never be the president, and not that Repulicans want him to anyway, many of them would rather lose and come up with a "better" conservative candidate anyway.

ta ta little bird, fly fly away now
..ta ta..

We need to end the infighting...Hillary please drop out so Obama can concentrate on Grandpa Munster!
