I must agree with Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver about this point. I have been an extremely faithful republican to this point...but...I like what I am seeing in Obama. Hillary on the other hand seems to have a pattern of negative energy following her...we've had enough of that sort of thing lately...we need someone to bring us back up, globally.

the race will be between mccain and obama.

why?

both of their birthdays add up to the master number '11' and both were born below the 33rd parallel. no u.s. president in history has been born under the 33rd parallel. the 2008 election is more important than you know, and on dec. 21, 2012 we will see why.

To everyone, Please! Please! educate yourself regarding the issues before placing a blog. Criminal offense if you don't agree to Health Insurance proposed by HC??? Educate yourself regarding foreign policy, educational system in this country, War in IraQ; Healthcare Crisis in this country(talk to someone who works in the medical field); and most of all The Economy. These issues are not as simple as you want to think they are. It will require someone who has an understanding based on experience.

I hope Obama can go all the way, he has inspired a whole new generation of voters. Unfortunately some young voters are switching off because of the negativity fom the Hillary camp.

I hope blue-collar America will not jettison change because of Hillary's fear and shock tactics, which is so right-wing, it inevitably weakens the Democrats and strengthens the Republicans.

The Democratic party should rightly be concerned about Hillary's mehods, which is bound to get more desperate and would leave the party fragmented at the Denver convention.

First, this is a free country and we as Americans are entitled to our opinions but when we say that we as Democrats will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nom then I do see racism rearing it's ugly head. What I hear between the lines are : anyone as long as they are not black. You'll vote for someone who is a warmonger and is an extension of the current administration. Think long and hard the next time you get groceries or fill up your gas tanks or the next time you get sick and realize you can't afford to get sick!! Idle threats are never good and they can only come back to bite us all where it hurts and that is in our "pocket books!" You can vote for whom you like but think long and hard about your rash actions!! Because I'm sure Senator Obama and his family will be just fine weather they win in November or not but what about the rest of Americans!

I'm also pretty sure that I will not vote or vote for McCain, I think there are alot of conserveative democrates that feel the same. Far Left attatudes will not help put this country as the far right made this mess.

"Traitor superdelegates," Kathy? What, do you think Hillary is owed a turn as president? Most of her supporters are only voting for her because they hope Bill will pull her strings like Cheney pulls Bush's. Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime leader, whereas Clinton is just more of the same. If Hillary wins the presidency (which she won't, she's behind by too much), she will be the fourth straight president to be either a Bush or a Clinton. The U.S. is turning into a monarchy.

I can't believe all the Hillary supporters are saying they will vote McCain if Obama gets the nomination. It is ridiculous that people are voting out of spite... this is not what the country needs!

I hope they all wise up once Hillary steps down and ENDORSES Obama and tells all her supporters to DO THE SAME... because that is exactly what she will do!

Obama does not need to win Pennsylvania. He just needs to get in the less than 10% margin.

i may be wrong but i thought that if a candidate received less than 15% of the total vote, then ALL of the delegates go to the winner. CONCEIVABLY hillary could take all of Penn's delegates if 86% of the voters went with Hillary. OUCH! that would so hurt the obama maniacs because that would actually put her ahead of Obama in delegate votes. OUCH AGAIN!

Chris

You are correct

HRC needs to win PA by at least 10% - and I think she will get closer to 15% then 10% but I agree – a single digit win for HRC is a moral and math win for BO

A win he will not get with the Trinity Church in Chicago showing all of us here in Chicago and soon across the nation that REV WRIGHT is still in Charge - and the speech and promise to leave are just words

Obama fans say they will NOT vote for Hillary if she wins the nom. Hillary supporters say they will vote for McCain if Obama wins.
I am a Hillary supporter. I will write her in on the ballot. I would never vote for Obama. McCain might make an okay President but I don't think I will be voting for him.

People just do not understand the danger this trend is giving to Obama. Bill was very right, race had come into the contest a while back.

It is very clear that this chap is playing on race as he specifically mentioned that he would vote for Obama if the race was very tight and Obama needed a tie-breaker.
No matter what, this is going to be a race issue and Obama will lose the November election badly.

I see a repeat of the 1952 elections coming up here. He will lose Florida and possibly New York.

Cleaver can as well move out of the Clinton support group as he has stabbed her in the back but know that the consequences are coming in November!

Engawyer,

About Cleaver, I am proud that he has chosen to stand by his convictions and support the Clintons after all they've done or tried to do for the African-American community, which is substantially more than what Barack has done on a Nation wide scale.

What the hell have the Clinton's done for the African American community? That is a fiction. Please name me something Bill Clinton has done for African Americans. I'll start with two things, welfare reform and federal sentencing guidelines. Your turn.

I am so with you jonathan, there is no way I'm voting for a man who has been constructed by the media with little substance. McCain, with all of his faults, is still a better bet. He doesn't align himself with racist bigots and seems to have this country as his priority – unlike the Obamas. I won't vote my party just because the media has given him the divine coverage or he's a democrat.

I'm confused, Billary said at first the one the the required delegates should win. Then she changed it to the one with the most popular votes should win. Then it was the one with the momentum should win. Then it's the superdelegates should vote with the voice of the people. If that doe not work, then forget the voice of the people and get the voice of the credentials committee be heard. If that does not work there's a group of people that can over turn the credentials committee decision to give her victory. Please Billary, do yourself, family and We the People a favor....GO HOME!!!!!!!!

Let's get real Senator Obama is ahead in every category. According to the WSJ, since the "Super Tuesday" primaries on Feb. 5, Sen. Obama has won commitments from 64 superdelegates and Sen. Clinton has gotten nine. Sen. Obama has a total of 217 superdelegates in his camp while Sen. Clinton has 250, and her margin has been shrinking with each week.

Please stop listening to the lies about disenfranchising the voters. Go to RCP. Even with the votes counted, Senator Clinton is still behind in every category. FL and MI should not count or be split 50%. That is the only fair was to enforce the rules, while allowing the delegates to be seated. Senator Clinton is saying to let the people have their voices heard, while at the same time saying that the elected delegates can switch against the wishes of their states. So is she for the voices being heard or not?

The writing is on the wall and everyone knows it. This is silly. All of you on both sides that say you will vote for McCain need to grow up. Resorting to name calling because you cannot have your way is kindergarten. You are adults, not school kids on the play ground. How about we start acting like adults? These blogs have become the Republican playground and they enjoy pulling our strings. The Democratic Party will be united. For those who would vote for McCain, you obviously haven’t been paying attention to the record voter registrations during this primary. You will be easily replaced and won’t be misses. So please do the Democratic Party and take your self and the two friends you know that think as you do and turn off the light when you leave. The party doesn’t need you.

A new ad by Sen. Obama running in Pennsylvania falsely claims that Sen. Obama does not accept money from the oil industry. In the ad, Sen. Obama says, "I'm Barack Obama and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists and I won't let them block change anymore." According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Sen. Obama has received over $160,000 from the oil and gas companies. Two major bundlers for his campaign -- George Kaiser and Robert Cavnar – are oil company CEOs. Sen. Obama has accepted money from Exxon, Shell, BP, Chevron and just about every other major oil company. Just last month, Sen. Obama accepted another $8,400 from ExxonMobil, $12,370 from Chevron and $6,500 from British Petroleum

last i checked, obama can not get the necessary 2025 delegates needed to clinch the nomination. Since he is not gonna be able to do this, i would say right here and now that HE needs to drop out of the race and put all of his support behind hillary and the for the good of the party. Lets face it it is a lost cause. he can not possibly win the nomination with the numbers he has or may get in the future. DO THE MATH. Please drop out Obama for the sake of the country. I know you Obamamaniacs want to continue to throw your support behind jim jones, i mean Obama, but please dont do it hes a lost cause. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Its time the party elders from both camp come out and accept the facts and unite this party. I say this because if it was Barack Obama on the other side (less delegate, less popular vote, and less states), this would have been over long ago. This race is still dragging on because of Hillary's personal ambition, not the democrats and the American people who are so desperately yearning for a change in the white house. At this point, I think Hillary is campaigning for John McCain. Her Strategy is to get McCain elected so she can come back and run again in 2012 but believe it or not, it wont work because her career would be over if her supporters realize her personal goal. The truth is, if John McCain wins in the general election, people will never forgive Hillary for that.

Hillary is steering the course. Fighting for democracy. Doing what is right. Not allowing herself to be dictated to by the press. She gets things done by thinking outside box, instead of following the established rules. So what if a few rules or laws get broken in the process. She's fighting for us! She won't give up without a battle. She voted to protect us by supporting the War on Terror and to fight the enemy in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here.

THANK GOD the math is not working for her. We don't need anymore BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTONs in office.
