 Obama and Clinton are statistically tied in Indiana.
Obama and Clinton are statistically tied in Indiana.

(CNN) —A new statewide poll in Indiana shows a statistical dead heat between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ahead of the state’s May 6 primary.

The poll, conducted from March 31 through April 2 by Research 2000, shows 49 percent of the likely Democratic voters would favor Clinton and 46 percent would favor Obama if the states primary were held today. With the polls margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points, the two candidates are statistically tied.

Indiana voters are particularly divided among age: Obama beats Clinton 63-36 percent among 18 and 29 year-olds while those 60 and older favored Clinton, 60-34 percent.

Should Clinton win the April 22 Pennsylvania primary, Indiana is expected to become the next decisive battleground in the fight for the Democratic nomination.

Both candidates have strong endorsements coming from the state. Sen. Evan Bayh and former Representative John Brademas have both put their weight behind the New York senator. Earlier this week, Obama won the endorsement of two leading former Indiana congressmen; Lee Hamilton and Tim Roemer. Both hold significant foreign affairs and national security credentials.

Obama, who is the only presidential contender with an ad airing in Indiana, is expected to be introduced by Robert F. Kennedy’s widow, Ethel, at a speech today in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Sen. Robert Kennedy carried the state by a small margin in the 1968 elections.

Hey Robin from Cedar Rapids – Learn to write and stay home on election day!! There's a reason the educated people are backing Obama. We know better!!

Robin   April 4th, 2008 11:43 am ET

There is a reckoning coming. When the Democratic party ignores its base. The base will ignore the Democratic party.

Paid   April 4th, 2008 11:42 am ET

As previously mentioned, a lot of these people claiming to be Hillary supporters or either Republicans or paid staff members for Hillary. Look at their comments, they are nearly the same thing over and over again. Come up with real facts regarding all three candidates.

Bob   April 4th, 2008 11:40 am ET

Why is that my comment are never posted?

Anna   April 4th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Heath care for all is pillar of any fundamentally democratic society.

People need health care as mach as we need water, air and food. Without even one of these things we all end under a stone in a cemetery somewhere.

In Canada we have universal health care and every day I thank the people of this country or this democratic victory and for protecting it.
I am alive today, walking, breathing and able to work after my bilateral mastectomy because of the health care system we have here in Canada. It works because it is mandatory any regarded as a societal
necessity.

Instead of tearing each other apart , whoever you support, please ask you preferred candidate to really commit to universal healthcare.

Gender, race, personality, etc. have much less importance in a candidate that the issues they should embrace

RRH, Connecticut   April 4th, 2008 11:39 am ET

CNN, please stop deleting my comments. I am happy to see so any Hillary supporters blogging all we wish the bias media might try. I am sick and tired of the double standard and I'm sick and tired of having to check back to see that my posting was deleted for the fourth time.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems all the Hillary people are not FOR something. They all just seem to be AGAINST

Sunny Bristol, CT   April 4th, 2008 11:30 am ET

How could it be?!

CNN and other media sing Obama songs every day at every monment. He is much much much "better" than Hillary.

How could Hilary lead?! How could she?

Brian, Windsor, Ontario   April 4th, 2008 11:29 am ET

As a Canadian who is pro-democrat, but likes both candidates, it is hard to hear the bitter, 5th-grade type accusations and counter-accusations of many supposed* supporters of each candidate. (*One wonders if some are GOP-types simply trying to stir up inter-Democratic antagonism in support of Sen. McCain.) Looking in from the outside I think that Democrats need to put aside this anger and bickering (somewhat understandably, the more aggressive style Clinton campaign which is now behind, appears to be doing more of this). Instead take pride that you have two very capable, intelligent, and change-orientated candidates!!! (even if neither is perfect - but George W. is the true adversary here...)

Jan in Virginia   April 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

I love how Obama has to keep finding supporters with Foreign Policy experience. What does that tell you.....

Take a Look at yourself   April 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

For ALL the people who critize Obama and his relationship with Rev. Wright and how Obama has been influenced by Wright. What about ALL the WHITE PEOPLE who were raised by OTHER WHITE PEOPLE who believed in Jim Crow laws and segregation? You mean to tell me that ALL of them are voting republican now? I doubt it...How did having your mommy and daddy not like colored people effect your beliefs?

VOTER FOR TRUTH AND DIGNITY IN AMERICA   April 4th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Just like Pennsylvania, that too will change when they meet Obama
in person. Obama won 14 states until Hillary lied to the Ohio voters,
about Canada, Nafta, Obama. According to Canada, the lie she told
was not true. And she timed the lie perfectly, leaving no time for Obama
to defend himself before Ohio and Texas vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris   April 4th, 2008 11:25 am ET

I'd like to see an Obama/Gore ticket. Gore was an excellent VP under Bill.

Scott   April 4th, 2008 11:24 am ET

I don't know where you' people have been, to come up with such Ridiculous Statements... Maybe you did this opinion Poll, in Iraq. Or East Africa... Somewhere...

April in Texas   April 4th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Go Obama and clsoe the gap in PA then win NC and IN then the American people will see we want you and not a liar.

Obama 08!

Jim in CT   April 4th, 2008 11:22 am ET

I'm sure that if Obama was ahead in this poll – CNN would headline the article – OBAMA SURGES AHEAD!!!
Let's be fair folks! If somebody is actually ahead in a poll – let's not call it a tie – you're losing all credibility now!

Ron R   April 4th, 2008 11:22 am ET

As I recall, Hillary was ahead by quite a bit as recently as a few weeks ago.

Asian   April 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

Unfortunately, money is becoming the metrics of measurements in the presidential election. These candidates want to be represent low income people, but they are wasting people's money in the race. Two candidates are raising millions of dollar in a day. But money becomes a matter when they talk about re-vote in FL and MI. People say who would bear the cost??

PA IS watching   April 4th, 2008 11:20 am ET

Hillary we have been watching you for months. It is our turn next to make our statement about you. Do you think you can keep reinventing yourself from state to state then moving on to the next leaving only unpaid bills in your wake. I am many of my friends are the ones you can blame for the polls dropping on you here and the is alot more to come.

We are not idiots here as you seem to think we are. We have the internet too!

toby   April 4th, 2008 11:16 am ET

Clinton misspoke about her trip to Bosnia, she also "misspoke" about her conversation to Bill Richardson that Obama cant win. I think its time we need someone honest in the white house, some one with a good sense of judgment. If Clinton had been the one with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright issue, what would she have done? We need an honest man in the white house this time. We are tired of the Clintons and the Bushes(McCain is a Bush third term), lets have a new man with fresh ideas in the white house. Obama for President.

Tom   April 4th, 2008 11:14 am ET

Bottom line is neither one will the enough delegates by the convention and as Al Gore knows well, the one will the most popular vote doesn't always win........ This has to be in the hands now of the Super delegates who have to speak THEIR minds, and not the peoples. It was their whole purpose from the beginning. If the Dems cannot take Florida, Ohio, Cali, NY, PA and Texas, then the election will go to McCain, and what Democrat has taken all 6 of those???

Ha   April 4th, 2008 11:13 am ET

I am getting a little tired of all these poll results. They are not always accurately projected. However, these poll really after the voters and the canidates psychologically. I rather not to listen to any poll.

Indianapolis Voter   April 4th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Obama to win Indiana... I think NOT!!! we are a bit smarter over here.

Hillary is very untrustworthy. How can you trust someone that would lie about sniper fire. Being shot at is no something you would forget.

Neil fr. ny   April 4th, 2008 11:12 am ET

We should unite this party now, anytime later can cause problemes.

Denis   April 4th, 2008 11:11 am ET

They are not tied -- She is still in the lead. And Hillary will win.

independent thinker   April 4th, 2008 11:11 am ET

I wish the media would cover Hillary Clinton more fairly. What happened to being unbiased? Even if I favored one candidate over the other, I would still have the integrity to be fair in how I reported their news.

Mike in PA   April 4th, 2008 11:10 am ET

If Hillary is such a "fighter" why hasn't she taken the nomination by now? She said she would have this nomination in the bag by February 5th. Its now April 4th, she couldn't deliver and I don't understand how people think she will deliver her promises not to mention her campaign mismanagement. Give this lady the most important job in the country? No thanks.

HD   April 4th, 2008 11:10 am ET

Bill Clinton was in Pikeville, Kentucky yesterday stumping for his wife.......that is a town of 5,000 in the middle of nowhere that is 99% caucasian and completely rural....a sure sign of desparation from the Clintons.

Hispanics now for Obama   April 4th, 2008 11:10 am ET

It's no sense in arguing with Hillary supporters. Doesn't she get the MAJORITY uneducated voters???? It really shows, too.

Robin   April 4th, 2008 11:09 am ET

To those who complain about the fact that Obama gets more positive press than Clinton...

Ever think that maybe there are just more good things to say about Obama and more negative things to say about Clinton?

Do you want the media to distort reality to make Clinton look on par with Obama, when she is clearly not?

E. C., Houston, Texas   April 4th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Well if you're looking for a candidate who knows how to roll over and play dead....and is Not a Fighter....Vote for Obama.

Paul   April 4th, 2008 11:07 am ET

The general election polls against McCain should be ignored for now. As long as Hillary and Barack are still fighting for the nomination and polls against John McCain are not at all accurate. Wait until the democrats get one nominee and the polls will start to go in their favor if their is enough time. Hopefully the superdelegates end this thing soon so the Democrats can get this race back on track.

Fighter Hillary   April 4th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Since Hillary wants to fight so much she can go join McBush and McAnger McCain , they love to fight for all the wrong reasons, she will fit right in.

HD   April 4th, 2008 11:05 am ET

It is over for the Hillary Clinton campaign. How much money did she raise in March? Oh wait, she is not releasing that either until later this month. Obama was able to raise $40 million in March. Why won't she release this information, release the tax returns for the past 6 years among other things that she is hiding??

cj-delhi,ny   April 4th, 2008 11:04 am ET

I think that President Obama will finish off Hillary in North Carolina.

Paulinus, Canada   April 4th, 2008 11:01 am ET

People are beginning to believe in Obama. He is the candidate to bring the people of America together. The world could do with a leader like him in an effort to bring nations together. We want peace and harmony in this world.

Obama is making good grounds in the polls and will soon overtake Hillary.

rusty   April 4th, 2008 11:00 am ET

Hillary gets my vote, and I will continue to contribute to her campaign.
Obama camp has to spend 2-3x more than Hillary and campaign 2-3x more to beat her , but she will still prevail. Obama – better save those money you collected for your next attempt on 2012 instead.

HILLARY 2008 and beyond!!!

John, Fairfax, VA   April 4th, 2008 10:59 am ET

Say what you want to. I remember before any of this started and Hillary was talking about how Obama and Edwards could not win and she was the only electable candidate. Arrogance. Never underestimate an opponent. This is someone who ran against the wife of one of the most popular and approved of presidents EVER. And he has done well, despite the odds being handed to Clinton on a silver platter. The superdelegates at the beginning were almost exclusively for her. Obama had to work to get where he is and has earned his spot.

Tex   April 4th, 2008 10:57 am ET

The new poll demonstrates the drastic slip in points in just four short weeks for the liar who touting her so-called experience recounted a hail of bullets from the snipers shooting at her and Chelsea in Bosnia.
Her lose in supporters as evidenced by the poll truly makes me proud to be an American to see the voters of Indiana realizing that they were backing a loser in Hillary and now are switching to Obama.

Obama 08

Eric   April 4th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Chuck you are an idiot. How will 89-59 split put Hillary in the lead and she behind by 170 votes. Come on do you have a brain????

Raylene   April 4th, 2008 10:56 am ET

We don't need a fighter like Hillary. We need a leader who can united the nation and concentrate on economy. We don't need a liar. We need a leader who can make American people feel more proud of being Americans.

Obama is the hope for Americans.

Go Obama!

GoldenDragon   April 4th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Why do we have to raise all the $$$$ to compete, how about no Ad but Debates/townhall mtgs....

To me to anything other than finding "SOLutions" to gear AMERICA out of Recession is un tolerable.....

Hillary, yu go girl, don't let the Dem Party elite bully yu, and BILL, yu're the true 1st spouse, who cares about the 1st lady club, start yur own! PROUD OF YU!!!! Let's sing a song called STAND BY YUR WOMAN, this round, no body should make fun of yu.... I am on yur side, MY 4EVER PRESIDENTS HILLBILLY CLINTONS!!!!

BELOW are thoughts of mine, an ordinary american voter, who proud t/b the ardent advocate for the disadvantage....

Dare to tell superdelegate Tom Harkin alikes to CHILL himself...

Denying the seating for the Florida / Michigan delegates is completely wrong.

I am a loyal Democrat since I came to this country at 18 w/my parents in 1987 and becoming a proud US citizen in 1996. I am a model immigrant, who is proud of my heritage, which is 20%Chinese+20%African American+20%Jewish+10%perHoliday around the globe+10% according to my mood swings (FYI- Legally disable with Manic-Depressive Disorder)

I will leave the Party to become an independent voting 4 Hillary 4 president, if she is not nominated due to such ridiculors party rule, I would personally convince her to run as an independent!

My fellow Democratic, we can't affort to play with the rules, i.e. the 5/9 of the Year 2000 supreme court judges s/b fired.

Law is made t/b change even broken for the human race, we're indeed far from perfect.

This is about the ordinary Americans' future not about some bad decisions of some elites!

Millions of people in Florida/Michigan are deserved to be heard. Let's start acting like TRUE Democrate not REGAN Admirers/ Bush Alikes....

NDM   April 4th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Hillary is not a fighter, she's a phony fake with a plan to manipulate the American people until she gets what she wants. Her ticket to make more millions with books and the talk circuit. If she has to use us, step on us, and prod her Kool-Aid followers in line, so be it.

She does not have any integrity and is the first candidate who has ever said the pledged delegates are not pledged. Earth to Hillary, yes they are, or they were before your sorry self-centered self got into the race.

You are a disgrace Hillary and I will be voting anyone else but you.

Hillary 0-Never

Thomas, LA   April 4th, 2008 10:55 am ET

It's clear the real mometum and people of this country are behind Obama. They're voting at the polls and with their wallets in helping to make sure Hillary is vanguished. Clinton is too dangerous to be put into higher office. It's the moral responsbility of us all to make sure that doesn't happen by supporting the candidate with real integrity and vision for the future: Obama.

Paul   April 4th, 2008 10:55 am ET

As I come under the older white voter demographic which seems to favor Ms Clinton, I am in the minority who doesn't have any faith that she will be capable of doing what she says she will. It's no use having a good sounding policy if it's never enacted. I feel she has had her opportunities, like in the healthcare plan of 1992. Obama deserves his chance, a new time, a new face.

Christopher Schubert   April 4th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Hillary has enormous name recognition everywhere this contest goes, as well as a lot of support from Democratic establishment in place. Luckily we are cutting into that. Yes, it's incredible when you are still in it when you went into it with every possible advantage you could ever want in an election.

If someone heard Obama's speech for themselves, sat down and listened to it, and came away from it thinking that he blamed everyone but his pastor and said his pastor was right you have a serious mental condition. You can't understand what people are trying to say to you.

McCain   April 4th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Ya'll please let Hilliary win. I know I can beat her in November! I would be a great commander in chief. She said so herself!

Peter from N.J   April 4th, 2008 10:54 am ET

E. C., Houston, Texas   April 4th, 2008 10:53 am ET

By the way, folks.....all that relaxed demeanor...the stamering and stuttering that Obama puts out when trying so hard to answer a 'direct question' is pure 'ACTING.' This extremely well -rehearsed manner of speaking makes a person Believe that Obama is trying so hard to come up with the 'Truth.' He plays at 'choosing the right word or expression' leading the viewer on...deeper and deeper. STOP. Think about what you are watching and hearing. This man, who has duped this Nation into believing that he is the right candidate, is not the person he expresses. The man you are watching knows exactly what he is doing, and it is planned, Twice or three times on T.V. shows....he has expressed himself and answered the same questions with the identical answers, phrases, speech inflextions and ACT. Obama has not been candid with the Voters at any time during this Campaign. Obama's insincerity shows greatly, and though he speaks with innocence and unkinowing......this man is dedicated, with every word he utters, to portray a person he's never met.

The Truth   April 4th, 2008 10:53 am ET

TO ALL THE CLINTONISTAS: FYI

1. Obama does not benefit from his rich friends like Oprah.
Every supporter has a maximum amount of money that they can contribute. $2100.00 in the primary and $2100.00 in the general.

Obama is BEATING her because more Americans support HIM!

2. Billary was leading in Penn by 20-25 pts two weeks ago. He has closed in on her by single digits.

3. She did not run from SNIPER FIRE!

4. Obama has picked up more Supers than her.....
More states than her..........
More delegates than her.......
More Total votes than her.....

5. The Clintons LIE.

6. The Clintons LIE.

7. Did I mention that the Clintons LIE?

8. Bill " Did have sex with that woman Monica Lewinsky"

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!

kelly WI   April 4th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Obama has had over 1,240,000 contributors and the average is $96.00.. That translates into more voters than getting $2300 by a lesser number of people. You can't buy an election with $. Just the number of votes.
I notice you all want something from the country. What happened to what JFK said. Ask not what the country can do for you but what you can do for the country. Seems as tho the liberal dems have made a complete switch to the Nanny state. You want ins. go buy it or work for it like the generations before you. Don't kid yourselfs you will be paying for it big time under either Hill or Obs plan. It will be the biggest expense in the gov. They have already messed upSS and Medicare and you want more?
Jeez.
All these people on CNN site just like to call names and talk like kids. Go to a grown up site for awhile. I'm done with CNN and MSNBC t.v. and blogs.

Here is what strikes me as odd :

He outspends her by almost 66% yet he can not bury her ?

why is this ?

He (by proxy) asks her to quit. Why?

What true sportsman asks another to quit in the middle of an unfinished game?

Jack   April 4th, 2008 10:51 am ET

So Hillary leads Barry O. 49-46, yet that is called a tie.....

She also leads the older vote by a large margin while Obama leads the young vote, yet it's called a tie when older people vote in much larger numbers than young people (just ask John Kerry and Al Gore)??

Hillary's support is coming from politicians currently in office (Bayh) while Obama's getting support from people no longer around.......?

That's NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a TIE

Don   April 4th, 2008 10:50 am ET

Chuck,

Your delegate math for PA is faulty. The delegates are not allocated strictly by percentage of popular vote.

Hillary would have to win by more like 65/35 in order to take any significant advantage in the elected delegates.

Things are not looking up for her...

North Carolina   April 4th, 2008 10:50 am ET

I hardly think only Clinton supporters write in caps. As for Obama not being a racist because his mother his white, his father black, and his stepfather Indonesian: that indicates his mother is not racist, it says nothing about Obama, as those show only her choices not his. What says something about Obama, is his own decisions: specifically, staying in Rev. Wright's church for 20 yrs.

Chris W.   April 4th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Wow, the Hillary supporters here sound just as blind, misguided and desperate as her campaign.

Bravo on your maturity.

Lana L. Baysinger   April 4th, 2008 10:49 am ET

CNN NEVER airs a story negative about Obama. Commentators on CNN are always telling Obama what to do to beat Hillary. I watch FOX and many people should switch. CNN is SO BIASED against Hillary. Obama cannot win the general election.

Independent   April 4th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Hillary – you should run as an independent if you do not get the nomination. People will go over to McCain for sure if Obama gets the nomination.

NDM   April 4th, 2008 10:48 am ET

Hillary realizes that the country knows she is a selfish witch. So what is a witch to do? She runs to SNL or one of the talk shows to pretend she's the nicest person on the planet, with a sense of humor.

We know you Hillary, you want to be president, so you can write more books, and make more millions. Your candidacy has NOTHING to do with your wanting to make the country any better. You've inflated your resume by lying and you will do anything, and say anything to win.

I hate the fact that I have to pay for her selfish self-centered, moronic self for the rest of her selfish life. I can't stand her or her lying adulterous husband.

I hate Hillary.

NotALemming   April 4th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Isn't it typical that the wet-behind-the-ears youth with little/no life experience are mostly Obamazombies? I wonder how many of them still live at home with mom and dad? Pretty, platitude-filled speeches, and energized rallies are great for the naive, aren't they? (anyone wondering what has happened to the current overstimulated, spoiled generation needs look no further than an Obama rally) . Eventually, some of these kids will grow up. We'll probably have a hammer and a sickle on our flag by then....

AJ   April 4th, 2008 10:47 am ET

If the poll numbers were the other way around and Obama was leading by 3 points the report would be "Obama holds HUGE lead in Indiana."

4mygirl   April 4th, 2008 10:46 am ET

Sen. Clinton is a fighter. That is what we need in this country right now, a person who will FIGHT to make our country great again. The Bush Administration have left this country in a shambles! Hillary will bring peace and prosperity back to this country. Obama does NOT have the experience this country needs. He claims to be able to unite the country, a great speaker......... although his speechs talk a good game, they are hollow in substance. He never answers a question dead on, he takes off on a ramble of whatever and really never answers the questions, and he has divided the country not united it. His time may come, but it IS NOT NOW. If he becomes the democratic nomine, it will be just like Jimmy Carter – the inexperience will show, and we will end up with another 8 years of Republican rule- we can't afford this at this time in our country's history. The issues are too great. WE NEED YOU HILLARY.

Uncle Sam: Obama received WAY more scrutiny over Reverend Wright than Clinton has recieved for her blatant lie about her trip to Bosnia. All the news networks bloodied him up for it. It just didn't work. Obama's weathered all the storms well. Clinton, however, just claims that she "misspoke" and all is well. Where's the bias there?

They probably wont even post this message but the people of Pa need to know

Pat (Pittsburgh)   April 4th, 2008 10:44 am ET

It's remarkable to me that Barack is out spending Hillary by a ratio of 5 to 1 in PA and she is still up 9 points.

He already has ads running in Indiana and she is up 3 points.

That, in itself should tell you something about her ability and his character.

She is without a doubt a very strong competitor, woman and fighter. That is what America needs right now.

Oh, by the way Barack, you just keep parading those Kennedys out for you, that little tactic has been working real well for you, hasn't it?

Melanie, Female Texan for Obama   April 4th, 2008 10:44 am ET

For y'all who want to see negative articles about Obama – ummm. Maybe he has to do something wrong first? Sheesh. Hillary is earning her bad press everyday. To make light of her lie about sniper fire on Leno infuriates me. She just laughs off lying to the public multiple times. And if she consistently "misspeaks" and "mishears", why does anyone think she can lead a country? Is she going to "mis-fire" a nuclear weapon because she didn't understand the 3:00 a.m. phone call due to sleep deprivation.

Hello America -cant anyone see a problem with Obama
First -he is buddies with the now indicted REZKO.He wrote letter which directly got REZKO millions.Then he got a sweetheart deal on his house and extra land.DONT TELL ME ACTIONS DONT COUNT!!!!!This is the ultimate of special interest.
Second-he is going to bring the country together and all racial relations will be smoothed. He belongs and has belonged to an all black church-where the pastor preaches anti-white-anti american -sendtiments.He has belonged to that chuirch and that pastor for over 20 years. DONT TELL ME ACTIONS DONT COUNT!!!
Third -based on his realtions with some including his grandmother I am not sure if he were an aerospace worker he would even get a clearance yet you want him in charge of the nation???

Once again I feel sadden by the lies of Obama and the ignorance of the media. I cannot believe that he had the audacity to say he would destroy the bowling allie in the White house to put a basket ball court. Who does he think he is. He is not a true American, he feels more like an African. Read his book and you will see.
He was not in the senate when the vote for the war was on.
He has gone after the college kids for their vote. They are voting on a concept of change that is not real and the media is going along with it.
We never hear any comparison of economic, military, or voting history between Hillary and Obama. All we hear is how evil she is. Lets focus on expericene and stop talking about how well Obama can play basket ball. Where are the real Americans. How can you let this happend to your country. This is sad.

How Obama Does IT   April 4th, 2008 10:43 am ET

How he does it, it's not a secret..
Donations from millions in 25, 50, 100 dollar increments that is how you do it, duh! It's the campaign that keeps on giving. Stop trying to make something out of nothing, gonna hurt your brain.
He drew in 220,000 new donors out of the 445,000 or so that donated, hmm kind of amazing if yo u ask me, feels good to be on a winning team.
Out with old and in with the new.

Ok... Bill and Hilary are married. They made racist remarks...BUT you Clinton morons argue, they aren't racisrt. Obama's minister tells a truth about some things he stated, and made anti-america remarks, and racial remarks, how does Obama get the HE'S RACIST label? some of you people are stupid enough to honestly believe if your white and your racist it's not wrong to be racist against a black, and if your black it's not wrong to be a racist against a white...Truth is...IT"S ALL WRONG...the ones arguing and making this campaign about race YOUR ALL IGNORANT.

Her advisers are finally admitting that if she doesn't get the popular vote she can't pull it off. Math will beat her in the end.

If Clinton wins Pennsylvania by 11% they will split the delegates 89 to 69. That will make the count of ELECTED delegates from primary election states Clinton 1162, Obama 1158. When the voters decide Clinton wins. It is the party insiders in the caucus states that have given Obama the lead in "pledged" delegates.

It's easy to raise $40 million when you have people like billionare Oprah in your corner. Obama can get celebs because he's trendy. Can he win over the down home people who are truly affected by the failing economy? Personally I'm not interested in a bandwagon candidate. We were forced to get on the Kerry bandwagon and look what happened. I just hope the guy doesn't turn out to be a huge let down, like I suspect he will.

Don   April 4th, 2008 10:40 am ET

Like Hillary, her supporters are so selfish. They never talk about the country, only themselves. I want health care, I need this, I need that. What about what's best for the country? Just like Hillary, these people are takers and they just think about themselves. What about Hillary's character and integrity? They won't say, because they know the leader of this country should not be a self-centered liar, like Hillary.

The country's going to hell in a handbasket because of greed and selfishness.

Hillary deserves selfish voters because she is selfish.

Hello, there's a war going on, and Hillary voted for it.

Anoher concerned voter   April 4th, 2008 10:39 am ET

"Concerned Voter April 4th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Interesting that even in this late stage of the primary that Hillary is still in it and Obama has not run away with the nomination. Obama needs to re-think his arrogance as he does not have the nomination and most certainly not the general election. He can't unite the party, he most certainly can't unite the country."

That goes both ways, however, Obama does have more of everything, votes, states, delegates. Hillary has had a very negative likability rating nationally from the beginning of this election, even prior, how is she going to unite the party?... It is going to be a tight race with the republicans either way and she is going to lose against McCain. She is is old news, with to much baggage.

RGreen7756   April 4th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Oh, just to see the look on her face when she finally admits defeat. Actually I bet she will not admit defeat. Somehow she will spin her last speech as accepting the nomination of the party. hahhahahahahhahahaa Oh, just to see the cameras following her into the Senate chamber when she resumes what is left of her career. As a leading democrat in the Senate she will be a great champion of President Obama's legislative agenda. Oh, just to see the look on her face when he signs his health care bill. You know she'll be invited to the signing ceremony. She'll wish she had sniper fire to run into.

E. C., Houston, Texas   April 4th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Obama wouldn't be ahead in the polls at all... if he didn't actively solicit kids who are first time voters and those in college. They hear only the promises of Obama's two words: Change and Hope. Mature Adults want to see explanation of those two words and statements to support a viable platform of what he intends to do. Intelligent, mature Voters favor Senator Clinton because she is the most experienced and qualitfied candidate. Obama cannot name one accomplishment since he has achieved in the Senate. Ask any Obama supporter, and he can't name a single Obama achievement. It's ridiculous that this man is a candidate for the Nomination of President because he lacks so much. Also, the Wright situation has further damaged Obama's credibility , in an important area in which he suffered before this scandal. Voters who support Senator Clinton are making the right choice and decision. Senator Clinton is the very best qualified and experienced candidate for the Nomination of President.

Feron   April 4th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Why is it that Billary supporters never talk about anything except how "bad" "arrogant" "racist" (yeah sure, who are the racists?) etc. Barack Obama is. These Billary supporters never say anything to the rest of America that would convince us to vote for the Clintons or that make her more appealing in any way. These folks demonstrate clearly just who actually still supports the Clintons….. Very sad.

Uncle Sam   April 4th, 2008 10:38 am ET

The reason that I am supporting John McCain is because I believe him to be a true agent of change. I do not condemn him simply because he is a Republican, but look beyond the party label. I do not have to merely hope for change or even believe in change. I can look at John's lifelong record of placing country over party and know that he will bring meaningful change to the political process and to our country. I understand than many disagree with his position on the Iraq War, but I do not believe he is a warmonger. I take him at his word when he tells me that, having been through his POW experience, he detests war and understands all too well of its devastating costs. John has spoken out against other military intervention, such as Lebanon, before hundreds of our Marines were killed. But he understands the global threat of Islamic extremism and the vital need to combat it. I am concerned because it appears that John is in the minority about this issue that trumps everything else. While I respect those who support Senators Clinton and Obama, I believe that America needs John McCain at this time in our history.

Hillary is a talented woman but she started ths race with unsurmountable high negatives. Every voter knew who she was and had an strong opinion of her. She can not win. Hoping people will like you is not a strategy. Like it or not voters make a choice for President based likabiltiy. If brains and ability were key Bush would not be in office. She is the one candidate that will unite the Republican party. I believe every vote should be counted and that voters in states that have not voted should be heard but the dirty tricks have to stop so that we have democrat win in November.

The time has come for Hillary to be fair to America and to herself and go ahead and join in with Obama for the Democrats sakes. Though I think Hillary is a wonderful person, I'm still for Obama. I know the news and the world has their own veiw about the democrats but the world would be crazy to vote for McCain after what we have suffered through. There is nothing bad enough for the democrats to do that will cause me to vote for McCain.

No offense to voters over 60 but does the next president really effect you? No. The next president only matters to the young and working generation as the economy, war, and environment will effect our lives for 50-60 more years.

If as many young voters voted as older women Hillary wouldn't even be in the race.

Anyone who thinks that Obama went to that church for 20 years and never heard any racist remarks from the Rev. Wright is in denial. Everytime he speaks about the issue the less I believe him. If this clips were not played by the media, he will had never mention it. The guy will never win in a national election and Hillary should never quit!

So, he grew up in a household hearing negative things about black people. As a man, he went to church and heard negative things about white people. Maybe, that's when he decide that the country should CHANGE, to UNITE.

Cynthia   April 4th, 2008 10:33 am ET

Obama is neither a racist or arrogant. He understands the best of both worlds – both white and black. We all could learn something from him if we would just listen with an open heart. Just because he knows who he is and what he is capable of doing – does that make him arrogant? I think not. For those of you talking about young people – remember they are our future. As far as where his money is coming from, its coming from everyday people who believes in him and what he is going to accomplish. Those of you still harping about Reverend Wright – Obama has stated more than once that he was not in the church when those sermons were given – and most importantly Rev. Wright is not running for President. If the best you can through at him is Rev. Wright????????????????

Joyce in Florida   April 4th, 2008 10:33 am ET

As usual, we are seeing alot of Hillary bashing in these comments. I am really sick of seeing Obama this Obama that. Yes, he is really arrogant and thinks everything will be handed to him. NOT!!!!

Senator Clinton is definitely the stronger candidate. She has experience, knowledge and is a fighter. Senator Obama cannot come up with any ideas himself on the problems we are facing in our country. He just rewords other people's ideas/suggestions, etc. He is definitely a smooth talker but is still a liar, cheat, and is disenfranchising two states.

You Obama supporters need to wake up. He will not win!!!

Sure, let him spend his money on his campaign (lord knows where it is really coming from–some deceit somewhere). Oh, I forgot, he is spending some of it on buying superdelegates or promising them a spot in his cabinet (that is if he wins and I think HE WILL NOT). He will renege on this just like he did in Michigan. He promised he would go with whatever the DNC and Senator Clinton agreed with. Well, look what happened. HE SAID NO TO A RE-VOTE. He is a disgrace!!!

Senator Clinton will win Pennsylvania, and it looks like the same for Indiana, and possibly North Carolina and beyond.

You go Senator Clinton. Florida is with you 100%.

Can't wait until a nominee is annouced so everyone can put their thinking caps back on because clearly many people are not thinking. To overtake the popular vote and/or delegate count, she needs to win by huge margins or else game over. From the latest polls in PA & IN & NC, that doesn't appear likely to happen!

NC   April 4th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Is that goal post getting moved again. At first it was said "he wouldn't be able to raise money" now that he is raising money, now "well that doesn't mean anything".

This race has been a blessing in disguise.....it has people coming out of the shadows. Young people are standing up and saying "Not This Time" and older people are saying "We don't want change".....

I agree with Tim above about Obama's long standing knowledge of Wright's philosophy and remarks. My question is, (and I wonder why the media won't ask him this): Why did he not sever his relationship with Wright years ago? What is so different now that he felt the need to denouce Wright's statements? Is it only because of his bid for the nomination?

Jay Shah   April 4th, 2008 10:29 am ET

Hey Hillary supporters,

WRITING IN ALL CAPS DOES NOT PROVE A POINT

Making intelligent arguments does:

Let me debunk a few of your incorrect beliefs

Obama is a Christian, despite the Clinton campaign's secret emails saying otherwise

Obama is not a racist, he has a White mother from Kansas, a black father from Kenya, an Indonesian Step dad, a Latino brother in law
If somehow he is a racist, which race is he prejudiced against???, see how dumb you guys sound...

Obama is not raising lots of money because he knows lots of rich people. In the $40 million he raised, the avg amnt given was $96. about 286,000 NEW people who have NEVER given before, were crucial in him getting that much. That is unprecedented.

If you clinton supporters have any more questions or concerns, feel free to make up something up again and watch us Obama people shoot them down one after another. The facts speak for themselves. Learn something and make the right choice. Go OBAMA!

ForObama   April 4th, 2008 10:29 am ET

It's interesting to note how people put down those 18 – 29 year olds that favor Obama over Clinton. They downplay their excitement because of platitudes, or idealism, or reverse-racism. When was politics not suppose to be exciting? The whole thing is pagentry and pomp. So, big deal. The thing is, Obama keeps getting a piece of the pie, because he keeps making the pie bigger and bigger, by getting people excited and bringing them back into the fold of American politics or introducing them to the process for the first time. So, whatever your polls say now, his political machine is going to make obsolete, because the number of registered voters in Indiana will rise as the primaries get closer, and the number of registered voters who will vote in the primaries will increase as well. It's a whole different numbers game every day as his political organization runs at full steam.

Maria Loi   April 4th, 2008 10:28 am ET

If Al Gore, joins Obama, he is another greedy political figure

Arrogant?   April 4th, 2008 10:28 am ET

This is an open question meant for a real answer... Can someone explain why some of the people of this forum (seems like all Hillary supporters) keep saying that Obama is arrogant? I don't get that one. I think, like McCain, Obama has been nothing but respectful to all of his opponents in this campaign. I see a lot of negativity from the Clinton campaign, and occasionally some negativity from the Obama campaign, but the Obama negativity seems mostly in response to Hillary's negativity. I think the comment about the 2nd place candidate offering the VP position to the front-runner being arrogant has some merit. Don't you think that's arrogant? If not, please explain. Thanks!

Brandy   April 4th, 2008 10:27 am ET

I am amazed at some of the comments on these blogs. I am literally floored how people can say so many hateful and childish things without much basis.

I'm glad to see that the gap is narrowing in states that were expected to vote majority for Hillary. It has been obvious to me that Obama would be the nominee, so why does Clinton even go on? Hillary will not exceed Obama in popular or superdelegates. She can't win at this point.

It's no question that Obama has my vote. My eyes are looking toward the November election. As Democrats, we need to think hard about the division in this party. Regardless, of who you prefer between Hillary and Obama, WE DON"T WANT MCCAIN IN OFFICE.

Voters, put this hostility in check. Stop being childish with the off the subject blogs, and think about the issues in this country. Hillary supporters need to stop with this "experienced" argument. After all, supposedly "experienced" politicians have been our leaders and look at where we are now? What/Who is really "experienced"? I'm sick of hearing Hillary supporters bash Obama for lack of experience. And Hillary does? I don't think so.

Also, you’ll see how “down home people” the Clintons are when they drop those tax returns on you.

I guess 35 years..lol Isnt that why she wants this to go to the convention floor? Oh wait you guys are only worried about the 'disenfranchisement" of the FL & Mi voters 3 months AFTER their primary!!! Youre only worried about what someone else that's connected to Obama said (wright) when only a few weeks ago words didnt matter!

SHARON   April 4th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Please go look at how much money EACH DONOR is making to each campaign....Hillary averages $50 per supporter, Obama's is nearly $100 per supporter.....Just because he can raise more money, doesn't mean he runs a better campaign or has more support....it simply means his supporters have more money to give. Hillary has to keep up with his ads..... If Obama can double her money raised in a month, why can't he double the votes she gets?

He out-spends her in advertising 2 to 1 and in ome places 4 to 1, and still, he cannot over take her lead in critical states.....can't you see that this will be a problem for him in the General Election???????

jp/michigan   April 4th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Until this race for White House , I have never been a donor or checked on political facts before. There are several questions that i have, How really does Obama get so many donors , to give as reported amounts of $98.00 per person? How can he before all Americans have voted, start getting ready for general elections? Just who are all these 'Obama Generation' people?

Here's a set of polls for you, from Indiana... and their dates...

Gallup Tracking 03/31 – 04/02 1238 V 49 46 Obama +3.0
Rasmussen Tracking 03/30 – 04/02 900 LV 46 43 Obama +3.0
CBS News/NY Times 03/28 – 04/02 LV 46 43 Obama +3.0
NBC/WSJ 03/24 – 03/25 RV 45 45 Tie
Pew Research 03/19 – 03/22 618 RV 49 39 Obama +10.0
FOX News 03/18 – 03/19 388 RV 38 40 Clinton +2.0

... it would seem Obama is ahead, on average, though not by a significant margin.

This tie has been deadlocked for weeks.

To Terry Williams – You say Senator Obama is going to give his friends positions and you think Senator Clinton won't?? She has way more friends and cronies in politics than Senator Obama. Why won't she release her earmarks (I don't care about her taxes, that's her personal business), but earmarks are our tax dollars. Senator McCain has none, Senator Obama had 97 million (and has released his so we can judge for ourselves), Senator Clinton had over 300 million, but won't show us where that money went.......but she claims she's the most transparent?? Again, these are our tax dollars and should be available for public scrutiny.

Seam, Philly PA   April 4th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Tha fact of the matter is that regardless of who wins the next 10 states will not matter much, because the delegates will be proportionally distributed. There will be no significant blow-outs that will give Hillary a substantial gain. She will not catch him in pledged delegates or the popular vote. The fat lady has sung.

M. Gallager, PA   April 4th, 2008 10:24 am ET

when she is the one who signed the NAFTA bill who sent most of

own personal campaign finance trouble.

This is great news for Senator Obama after Senator Clinton's lead in Indiana. It appears to be true that when Senator Obama has time to campaign in a given state, he is able to close the margin in the race when he is trailing in the polls.

What a great political machine Senator Obama has established. I am sure this has been frustrating for the Clintons and their political machine.

Pennsylvania appears to be heading toward a dead heat and wouldn't the public go wild if Senator Obama manages an upset in Pennsylvania. If this happens, Senator Obama's train will become top heavy with superdelegates willing to finally weigh in.

North Carolina   April 4th, 2008 10:22 am ET

KIm: Learn to do research. There are no reliable (ie polls with a significant sample size) for N.C.: whatever lead being given for Obama, is wild guesswork. Obama has long been predicted to do well in IN, perhaps even win it, because it neighbors his home state of IL. That Clinton is ahead there bodes well for her. Also, delegate wins are not indicative of the popular vote: western states receieve inflated delegate numbers as compared with their populations. Nor are all states equal. A win in WY where less than 9000 dems voted is not comparable to a win in OH where over 2 mil voted.

Mfelder   April 4th, 2008 10:22 am ET

To be truly informed about these two democratic candidates, it is only fair that YOU look at each of them and not rely on the candidate word against the other or the media to make up your mind. I follow both of these candidates. Most of you who are supporting one candidate or the other think by trashing the candidates you are being helpful to the undecided voter. You've already made up your mind about who you are supporting, try helping the Undecided voter to make up his or her mind.
Although I am supporting Senator Obama, I will support Senator Clinton if she gets the nomination. My main reason for supporting Senator Obama is because he's already shown himself to be a leader. When the Rev. Wright situation arose, Senator Obama stepped up to the plate to address the issue. I expected Senator Clinton to step up, not to defend Obama and his pastor, but to offer some leadership to the country in an area that has truly divided this nation. I didn't see that from Senator Clinton. I think that for a true leader, action speaks louder than their words

VM   April 4th, 2008 10:21 am ET

"April 4th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Obama has outspending everyone. But his 4 to 1 outspending does not bring a 4 to 1 results, not even close. If this is the way he lead US economics, that would be a disaster.
"

This makes absolutely no logical sense. None. It's just babble that sounds like a "gotcha" argument. I wish the people posting it would attempt to flesh out their argument. For instance, explain why the ratio of dollars to votes is 1:1 or what that has to do with an economic plan. Are you saying that leading the economy is equivalent to getting votes? If that's the case then, shouldn't the candidate with the most votes be better able to lead the economy? Does a candidate get credit for having a debt free campaign, paying bills on time, and spending money appropriately? I just want to hear the argument completely, just once.

Remembering Dr. King LA, CA   April 4th, 2008 10:21 am ET

You know it’s a darn shame why are the Clintons even being considered for a run at the White House at all. Senator Barack Obama is always going to be the underdog, being black is an underdog because of the racism in America.

When a white woman gets on TV and looks as though she is hurting and about to cry and loose all of her power the establish white American comes a running. However, if the black man is shown in the same light he is being called a divider what’s wrong with this picture?

Hispanics now for Obama   April 4th, 2008 10:21 am ET

Wright is not a political issue! I'm tired of stupid people trying to bring this up. How will Wright bring down the economy????

However, we have seen for ourselves that Hillary cannot take fiscal responsibility of her own campaign, so my question is to you Hill supporters: How can she handle America's money problem if she can't even pay her own bills????

Wright or campaign debt, which is worse for the economy?

Scott   April 4th, 2008 10:20 am ET

There were over 400,000 donors to Obama's campaign in March with the average pledge being $96 to raise over 40million. This has nothing to do with celebraties, but the people of america.

Thats the beauty of his campaign and why this republican is supporting and voting for him.

IF, Portugal, Lisbon   April 4th, 2008 10:20 am ET

I can't vote, so I'm not going to make any difference. Still, for the first time I wish I could vote. Because this time the EUA has the chance to really be the guiding vision for the world and not just the guiding (though insufficient) weapons or the guiding (though faltering) economy.

Hillary won't be disastrous. She'll be just more of the same. And more of the same through most european eyes is mostly wrong decisions, hasty decisions, brute force of money or weapons and some arrogance. If she loses these elections, she's stuck with a bill as someone wrote. But her problem is she's stuck with a Bill even if she wins. He's a not very upstanding character and she seems to have picked up some of those genes on the way.That' couple will certainly be ready from day one. The (very troubling) question is... for what? Power, greed, influence?

Obama on the other hand, seems to appeal to the best in people. He's winning votes not by inciting hate or division, but for making people feel they will count and that he's counting on them to do their best. And that is a powerful appeal...

When Clinton tries to use the same words, it comes out as "Your votes will count," or "I need you for the next months, then you can fade away and let me lead the world".

By the way... that 3 A.M. ad is as silly as can be found. Does she mean she'll have a so incompetent staff that they'll only notice at 3 A.M. there's an economic crisis that's been burning for months?! It shoud have been an issue for months at meetings, not for a 3 AM call...

Ted, Washington DC   April 4th, 2008 10:20 am ET

Poeple are wasting a vote whe they cast for Obama. He will never becone a President because he is man of division, his mouth notwithstanding. He plays the race card like a magician but at the end all magicians are found to be frauds. Has anybody called general Powel black or white? Of course not because he stands there as an American, not as a white or black or hispanic American but a man of substance

darron   April 4th, 2008 10:20 am ET

A statistical dead heat favors Senator Obama, not Senator Clinton.

A statistical dead heat is not the landslide needed to swing the popular totals, delegate totals and overall momentum in Clinton's favor. Obama would have to make an incredibly catastrophic error, which the Clinton campaign still hasn't found, even after Rev. Wright. Obama detractors say he hasn't wrapped this up, but many Clinton detractors have pointed out she expected to wrap this up February 5th, and certainly never planned on dragging it out this long. So that's a moot argument.

A statistical dead heat just exposes the Democrats' indecisiveness, weakens the party, and continues to spread the divisiveness that has permeated this campaign. More of the same.

Indiana poll numbers will likely shift the way Pennsylvania's did when the Obama campaign turns its focus there after April 22nd. Senator Clinton was leading by huge margins before the Obama campaign stepped up its presence there to contain the lead.

Ohio   April 4th, 2008 10:20 am ET

I'm upset by Obama supporters who say Hillary should back out. These statements only say that we shouldn't have a choice who to vote for. If that doesn't scream politics of the past I don't know what does. I'm sorry, but you can't tell me who to vote for. I was forced to vote for Kerry in '04, and that got us absolutly nowhere. And who says everybody has to like Obama? I don't appreciate bandwagon supporters. They are the weak ones that end up tearing the party apart. I don't want Obama to win because I believe he lacks substance behind all of his wonderful speeches. He's also a liar. People are afraid to call him out on it, but I'm not. The Republicans will swift boat the crap out of him. In the end he will be swept off his feet, and his face will end up in the mud.

MEC   April 4th, 2008 10:19 am ET

It really bothers me that so many in the media keep trying to write Hillary's political obituary when she is leading in the polls in the upcoming primary states of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. When all is said and done I do think she has a chance of winning the popular vote so please stop trying to force her out early.

HRC the Nominee   April 4th, 2008 10:19 am ET

If the Democrats counted delegates the way the Republicans do- winner take all- Clinton would already be our nominee!!!!

Jason   April 4th, 2008 10:18 am ET

I think that Hillary is in a very hard spot to have any chance of winning the nomination. Indiana is now even, and Obama has been picking up significant endorsements from superdelegates lately, with many other important ones hinting at their support (Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter). He is also gaining signficantly in Pennsylvania.

Indiana may not be the difference maker by May 6th, because a strong showing in Pennsylvania combined with a strong victory in North Carolina will almost shut the door. That is especially true if Obama continues to pick up superdelegate support.

Interesting to note – the entire difference in the superdelegate count is made up of the difference in superdelegate support from the DNC superdelegates. They are basically even in every other category of superdelegate.

Jay Shah   April 4th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Why are People attacking the media (CNN, MSNBC) in particular? Have you heard some of the recent stories about clinton (Bill getting redfaced with cali superdelegates, Hillary going after obama's pledged delegates, or Gov corzine saying Hillary needs to win pop vote to stand a chance).

The media is for the most part reporting everything that happens regarding the campaign. People love this stuff. If they are reporting everything, they are telling us about ALL the positive and negative stories about the candidates.
The lack of Obama negative stories or surplus of negative Clinton stories is more attributed to what's going on in the campaigns then any media bias. If anything, you can blame the media for resisting to count Clinton out so they can prolong this primary and the excitement that comes with it!!

You Clinton people have to seriously start thinking more....You don't have to be the smartest apple to realize Hillary is losing this race solely because she is the WEAKER candidate

Yes, DM again Arlington, TX   April 4th, 2008 10:18 am ET

I am a Texas State Delegate for Obama. I feel that Hillary and Bill Clinton are be dishonest trying to sway Obama supporter and delegates. I will like to tell them we will not be swayed. My goal is to become a "National Delegate" for Obama. He is will not be a president for all American. Not, just for big business .

Bill Clinton you need to stop threaten people. That is not right.!

Eric-PA   April 4th, 2008 10:18 am ET

I predict he will lose Indiana. She will win the popular vote and the nomination, IF there's a revote in Florida and Michigan. Without a revote she can't win and Obama becomes an illegitimate nominee.

Can you tell me how your candidate record and action and policies make your think that he can do better than others? A herd of sheep is following empty suit.

Hasn't Hillary proven that whenever her and Obama are deadlocked in a race that she ALWAYS wins?!

I think it is funny how the news cherry picks topics that make Obama look good. And it will be even funnier to see that Clinton voters WILL NOT vote for him in the general election. The Clinton's have a HUGE following... Better than the Kennedy's.

This election is about experience. That is why the Clinton voters are voting for her... WAKE UP AMERICA! OBAMA is NOT electable. He WILL LOSE.

I'm very encouraged by the polls favoring Obama. I have not been this enthusiastic about a political candidate in my 52 years of life. I don't understand why Clinton and her supporters continue to voice false accusations against Obama. He DOES have a health care plan, economic recovery plan, etc. He did not say he was tired of the campaign as Hillary states. It's just another lie added to her increasingly long list of the same. I also don't understand why the media and Clintonians keep bringing up his lack of ability to bowl. What does that have to do with presidential qualifications? I give him credit for trying. By the way, I would not have donated to his campaign if it was split with Clinton.
GO, OBAMA!

What makes Indiana "the next decisive battleground" state? North Carolina has more delegates. First we discount the caucus states, then the small states, then the non-swing states. Ultimately it seems the only states we should focus on are the ones where HRC actually stands a chance of winning.

I see a post from some guy named Chuck saying now the only delegates we should count are those resulting from primaries. Primaries, yeah, like the ones where Republicans follow the command of Rush Limbaugh and jump over to vote for HRC.

skylark   April 4th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Obama is winning with the younger people because they are the ones who will have to live with the consequences. They are the ones looking to the future, trying to find work. Hillary is winning with older voters because they have nothing to lose. Most retired or nearing retirement.

"PLEASE NOTE HE WON MOST OF THE STATE IN CAUCUS AND NOT IN PRIMARY WHICH IS NOT FORMAT IN GENERAL ELECTION IT IS WINNER TAKE ALL AND HILLARY IS WAY AHEAD IF YOU COUNT THAT.
HILLARY ALL THE WAY 2008,2012"

Actually, Obama has won more caucuses AND more primaries than Clinton. Count them – Connecticut, Deleware, Vermont, Utah, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Wisconsin, Lousiana, Illinois, and Utah. That's 16 primaries that Obama has won – more states than Clinton's total primaries and caucuses combined.

Pete   April 4th, 2008 10:17 am ET

The funny thing is she has to win every remaining state by at least 60-40 to have even a marginally legitimate arguement fo rthe nomination. That's obviously not going to happen. The Clinton's are allergic to the truth AND reality.

Regarding these comments: Racism has changed a great deal but obviously it still lurks just below the surface. There is no other rational explanation for how bitter some of you are. The good news is your kids aren't blinded by it.

In every state that there was a statistical dead heat prior to the election, Obama has pulled off a victory. Expect the same in Indiana.

PA voter   April 4th, 2008 10:15 am ET

The polls in PA show Clinton with an average lead of 5 right now. However I bet Obama has more then double the ground troops in place and is spending more on ads. All I can say is watch out Hillary this race could be over on April 23rd if Obama wins PA.

BobW   April 4th, 2008 10:15 am ET

This is unbelievable! When a poll showing Hillary was leading by 9 points in Pennsylvania, CNN made a big headline about how Obama was closing the gap. However in the Indiana poll in which Obama was leading and Hillary is now tied, the article simply said that they are tied with no mention about how Hillary has turned it around. This is for the American presidency, wake up America! Hillary will stand up for the rights of Americans – she is a strong leader. And there is no reason for Bill to Chill, this is serious business and the media has no right of taking the election away from Hillary. This is not the time to turn your cheek to be hit again. This is a time to stand up and defend themselves for the benefit of America.

Kareem from Hampton VA   April 4th, 2008 10:14 am ET

And also for all of you saying that Barack is arrogant after your candidate started this race out like she already won and then when she began to loose to Barack told us to get real!! When your candidate says barack is nothing but a speech! People like you are the problem with this country! You dont research anything..your just herd animals following the leader! WAKE UP!

LifeLongDemocrat   April 4th, 2008 10:14 am ET

The best way to get into the White House is to be a governor. You are really a CEO of the state and the span of control goes into all area. A legislator is one-dimensional, working only on legislation. That is the difference in the experience that Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, to name a few brought to the contest.

Zina   April 4th, 2008 10:14 am ET

For those who say that Obama cannot "wrap up the nomination": Can't the same be said for the Clintons? They have been on the national scene for years and we ALL know them. I think that statement brings a greater strain on the Clintons and not Obama.

Dems '08

mike harris   April 4th, 2008 10:14 am ET

Obama has not yet campaigned in Indiana, etc... So, with that in mind, a 50-50 poll margin is quite good. Remember, in PA he was behind by 29% just a month ago, and now he's just 9% behind in polls. Ofcourse these polls do not matter a lot, but it shows that he's closed the margin quite very well. So, I am sure PA will be close, good chances Clinton will win, but it wont be a double digit win, it will be a close one. A lot of old people support her, but I think they should consider why the young people support Obama, and they should think about the younger generation. Anyway, here is my analysis PA will be close win for Hillary, IN will be close win for Obama, NC will be huge win for Obama. After which, it's time the democrats come together. I respect Sen. Clinton, but there is very less chance that she would be the nominee considering the fact that Sen. Obama has won more states, more votes. Anyway, we want a democrat in 2008

I am all for people supporting their candidates. But some of the comments are ridiculous – Obama is a racist, raising money does not equal votes, young people are ridiciculous. We do hear how much Obama spent. We also hear how much Clinton has not spent. She has not paid her bills!

Why would people send money if they didn't intend to vote for the candidate who campaign they are supporting financially?

This is just more evidence of how ugly this entire campaign has gotten. Now it's seeping to the voting citizens. People let's just look at the issues and make our decisions based on them. Let's also respect each others choices and do our best to support and unite the party. That's how it was in the beginning of this campaign. Would love to see it return.

D.W.; Miami, FL   April 4th, 2008 10:13 am ET

I know I am a man but I just do not see the "sexism" that the Clinton supporters claim she is experiencing. She is leading a statistic dead heat poll in Indiana and all her supporters post about how arrogant Obama is, how biased this column is, and how sexist the media is. What did I miss in this post? I thought it was good news for Clinton.

Clinton is the only candidate who said that she would have the nomination wrapped up in February and Obama is arrogant? EVERYONE agrees that she can't catch him in pledged delegates, most believe she can't catch him in popular vote, yet the media reports her every move and that makes them bias. Huckabee would have loved this much attention at the end of his run. Clinton has based her entire campaign on experience she garnered while her HUSBAND (not her) was President of the U.S,; yet the media is sexist. What true feminist would truly support such a stance from the woman who would be president of the United States.

IS ANYBODY PAYING ATTENTION?

CB   April 4th, 2008 10:13 am ET

When I read the Hillary supporters comments.
It seams to be the same person using different names.
The language is the same. Have you donated to Hillary’s
campaign? Maybe she will give you a job when she’s governor
of NY. I don't think many people are donating. Who wants to
waste their hard earn money on a lost cost in an economy she help
created with NAFTA. Allowing Bush to bankrupt the US with an
unfounded war. All for his egotistical net gain.

Bush has being fighting this war for years, years, years, years, years and years. It is real funny they have capture all of Bin L top aids. Ask your self who protecting Bin L, if all of his top aids have been capture? Funny to say the lest. So you go ahead and vote for MCBushCain to run this country the next four years. I pray you don’t have any off spring to answer to.

So to the Hillary supporters, maybe you can help her back to reality!

Just making a statement.

Obama 08 and that’s that!!!!!!!!

. . . True, Clinton may be tied, but in reality that only means that she
is not leading by the huge numbers that she will need to at least catch
Senator Obama in the delegate count or popular vote, delegate count
being the deciding factor. Even if she wins by a few points, the fact
remains that there is a slim chance that she will over take Senator Obama's lead. That is not arrogance, that is Mathmatics.

Brian – the amount of money an individual can donate is already capped. Donations are a way of supporting YOUR candidate, not just the party, so forcing people to give money to both candidates would be completely unfair and not in keeping with the democratic process. Besides,. any other way and the party will have to set the standards on when a candidate has to drop out and I wouldn't want to see that (even if i think Hillary should pack up her cleats and go home.)

Jonathan   April 4th, 2008 10:11 am ET

"Obama's endorsements are bought, note the foreign affairs and national security credentials??? Bet they were promised jobs in the cabinet just as some superdelegates were."

Obama has over 200 superdelegates supporting him and over 50 other high-profile advisors. Most of those superdelegates already hold or have held high elected office and most of those advisors have had significant positions in previous administrations. If Obama is somehow bribing them with power, then he must be trying to create the biggest Cabinet in US history.

LifeLongDemocrat   April 4th, 2008 10:11 am ET

Kevin in Louisville: not all HIllary supporters are racists. I resent the implication. I have fought for racial equality all of my life. I am supporting HIllary because she is the more qualified candidate and has the best healthcare program.

I would like nothing better thaan to have a woman as president. I would like nothing better than to have an African-American for president. Unfortunately we cannot have both at the same time.

Many people admire John McCain because he has been a maverick and a true American. We may not agree with most of his stands on the issues but we admire him as a person.

Julie Jones   April 4th, 2008 10:11 am ET

Maybe the reason some of you think Hillary gets so much negative press is because she provides so many opportunities. Misspeaking, attacking Gov. Richardson, blowing up at a superdelegate meeting are just a few of the latest. I was a big fan of both Bill and Hillary, but have been turned off by their behavior and how their campaign has been run. Nevertheless, I will support her if she wins the nomination.

And to all you who whine about Barak having so much more money and outspending Hillary: What's stopping her from raising just as much herself? Do you think that she wouldn't gladly accept more contributions?

I don't get it. You post comments that are considered racist Whites comments but you don't even post the positive ones I write about Obama's ability to unite the country as oppose to Senator Clinton. Of course , this has nothing to do with this article. My voice will be heard!

Tim   April 4th, 2008 10:10 am ET

Anyone who thinks that Obama went to that church for 20 years and never heard any racist remarks from the Rev. Wright is in denial. Everytime he speaks about the issue the less I believe him. If this clips were not played by the media, he will had never mention it. The guy will never win in a national election and Hillary should never quit!

Obama, you have only one way to go...UP!...Can't wait for November.

chuck   April 4th, 2008 10:10 am ET

If Clinton wins Pennsylvania by 11% they will split the delegates 89 to 69. That will make the count of ELECTED delegates from primary election states Clinton 1162, Obama 1158. When the voters decide Clinton wins. It is the party insiders in the caucus states that have given Obama the lead in "pledged" delegates.

trellskig   April 4th, 2008 10:09 am ET

These numbers are bogus and I don't believe any of them. Furthermore, Obama never objected to a revote in MI and FL. He stated that he would allow it, if the party leaders had a fair and reasonable resolution. Where and when did Obama state that he would not allow a revote? (Want to blame someone, blame the party leaders, not Obama).

Older people are full of themselve's and have nothing better to do but spread lies and rumors. But it's alright the younger, cooler and hipper gerneration that will make the best choice for president.

Obama 08.

sage bill   April 4th, 2008 10:09 am ET

Obama continues to dupe millions of Americans who send him money. What a shame. He then builds his dream world of presidency with the likes of Al Gore in his cabinet before he even gets the party nomination. A bigger shame. Above all, his so called denunciation of that misanthope Rev. Wright is shallow and suggests that 20 years of intimacy have, indeed, affected his views of America in a profoundly negative way. This is the biggest shame of all and will cost the Democrats this election unless Clinton gets the nomination.

Tim   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

LIKE IT OR NOT, OBAMA WILL WIN THE NOMINATION.

HILLARY = HACKABEE

SOONER OR LATER, SHE'LL BACK UP OBAMA

R.I.F.   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Brian.,
If you would take time to read you would see that Obama's money has come from over 1.3 million donors. It's called building a strong system based on new ideas and creative forward thinking (ironically that is campaign is about), and not just relying on the rich to write $2300 checks. Also please note that Clinton started off with far more money than Obama but didn't manange her funds right because she thought she would have this thing wrapped up after Super Tuesday.

Terri   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Don't know how many of you are actually from Indiana but the turnouts for Hillary have been awesome. Does she pull in 20 thousand at a time? No, but that is because she takes it to the small towns and places that are not usually even thought about which makes these people very happy and excited about being involved. People have stood in line for hours to see her & Bill & Chelsea. BO has only shown his face once and today he is Ft. Wayne. I know he is busy bowling and palying bball and taking a cig break or two. Hillary has been all over this state & she will win Indiana!

LET'S GO HILLARY!!   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

It's easy to raise $40 million when you have people like billionare Oprah in your corner. Obama can get celebs because he's trendy. Can he win over the down home people who are truly affected by the failing economy? Personally I'm not interested in a bandwagon candidate. We were forced to get on the Kerry bandwagon and look what happened. I just hope the guy doesn't turn out to be a huge let down, like I suspect he will.

Independent for Obama   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Very Concerned American – Young voters are voting for Obama because we research on our own times and find the small differences in their plans....we also look for what they have done or tried to do and Hillary failed at dilevering the two major points she's promising...stop saying we don't know anything about Health care....we know plenty we pay for social security which we won't see the young ones are paying for the older generation and will continue to be that way.

vic nashville,Tn   April 4th, 2008 10:08 am ET

Hillary will win Indiana i don’t care what polls shows if she is not the nominee our vote for Mc Cain CNN,MSNBC,CBS ARE OBAMA’S network today Gallup poll shows 49% to 46% why that is not news .last week Gallup poll were in news because Obama was leading
CNN please give us break

ann   April 4th, 2008 10:07 am ET

WoW......All that money he keeps bragging about and yet he has nothing to show for it. He still can't close the deal.

Obama outspent Hillary 4 to 1 in Texas and Ohio......and HILLARY WON both Texas and Ohio primaries!

Now he's outspending her 4 to 1 in Pennsylvania....wonder how that is going to turn out?

Indiana.....hhmmmm ...I guess we will have to see. However, I wouldn't count Hillary out....she's tough, she's smart and Democrats seem to want her to stay in the race.

Go Hillary......We're with you all the way to the convention!!!

An Agnostic Democrat   April 4th, 2008 10:07 am ET

Looks like Hillary still has her paid bloggers out in force on CNN.com. Explains why she has no money but will waste it just to bash Obama, and we all know she'll be wasting ours in more ridiculous big government ventures.

Greg   April 4th, 2008 10:06 am ET

Interesting. I see a trend here. Clinton supporters are voting AGAINST something, namely, Sen. Obama and for unrealistic reasons, i.e., he's a racist (hard to be racist when you're half white, half black but whatever) or that he's a closet muslim (proof anyone?) Can someone explain to me how he can be condemned as muslim AND be condemned for the statements of his CHRISTIAN pastor? The logic seems faulty to me.

Obama supporters are voting FOR something – change from the same politics of the past.

One side seems very negative perhaps the result of Sen. Clinton's campaign tone? The other seems very positive and full of hope for the future.

The world has never been changed one iota by someone who says, "Well, that's the way it is, that's the reality of life."

Dreams are what keep us sane, what get us up in the morning. Without hope for the future, why bother?

Janet   April 4th, 2008 10:06 am ET

EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT HILLARY IS STEALING THIS COMPAIGNBUT I THINK IT IS OBAMA WHO IS DOING THIS BY BLOCKING VOTE IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN.
PLEASE NOTE HE WON MOST OF THE STATE IN CAUCUS AND NOT IN PRIMARY WHICH IS NOT FORMAT IN GENERAL ELECTION IT IS WINNER TAKE ALL AND HILLARY IS WAY AHEAD IF YOU COUNT THAT.
HILLARY ALL THE WAY 2008,2012

Mike   April 4th, 2008 10:05 am ET

The insinuation that Obama has to "buy" his support, or that there is something fishy with the money he is bringing in, is ridiculous. Most of his money has come from small, individual donors - over 1.3 million of them now - who believe in his message. This is unheard of in American politics, and is a good indication of the change that really is possible.

Please be honest with your posts, and with yourself. Don't go trying to cast doubts on someone's character based on misinformation or the simple attempt to elevate your own candidate based on lies about the other. Argue policy differences if you want. But leave the character smears based on inuendo and lies to the Republicans.

By the way, I support Obama, but I will not smear Clinton in the process, and will support her if she gets the nomination. Hillary supporters, please be fair and do the same relative to Obama.

The Bubble Has Burst   April 4th, 2008 10:05 am ET

It's really sad. Only a few months ago there was so much excitement with this history making campaign season. Most of us never imagined that we would see a female and African American presidential candidate with such viability. The problem came when Senator Clinton realized that her nominnation was not a given!

I really hope that we will soon have a nominee that we can rally behind and take it all the way through November.

OH MY! My Obama t-shirt just arrived! I will be wearing it this evening!

Monica   April 4th, 2008 10:04 am ET

I am curious if Hillary supporters remember something very familiar. Obama is running the campaign of Bill Clinton in 1992. Free concerts, boxers or breifs, yes but I didn't inhale. I suspect her supporters also voted for him. An Arkansas governor with no experience. They are using the very same argument used against him by the Republicans against a candidate in their own party. It seems to me that Barack has more experience (8 in Illinois and 4 in Washington)than Bill (Arkansas gov?, 0 in Washington) did and Barack has more experience than Hillary(8 only in Washington). Unless you count her years as first lady especially that time she went to Bosnia and had to duck and cover to her car. I am not sure who I am voting for in the general but I find these post very fascinating.

Linda. Boston, MA   April 4th, 2008 10:04 am ET

"Obama needs to re-think his arrogance as he does not have the nomination and most certainly not the general election."

And exactly how is he arrogant? Because he's winning and he smiles a lot? What nerve! Who does he think he is!!!

About these IN numbers – these mean little at this point. There are 3 very significant factors that have yet to come into play that will change these.

1) The results of PA will no doubt have some impact. And big Hillary win gives her some momentum for IN, but a narrow win or a loss puts her in very bad shape.

2) We still have another debate that will take place before IN/NC. This is VERY important because it will be the first time where the two of them will be debating since Wright/Sniper-Gate took place. Polls show that the Wright issue didn't hurt nearly as much as Hillary's lying. So depending on how those issues are addressed by both candidates, some serious poll shifts can take place.

3) Obama has barely campaigned in IN. And you all know what happens once Obama starts to campaign.

I'm guessing that PA will be close (within 7 points), Obama will come out looking better than Hillary in the debate, and Obama's campaigning will have positive impact in IN. I'd guess Obama takes IN by 5 points.

Dancindukes   April 4th, 2008 10:04 am ET

Obama is closing the gap in a critical state for Clinton. She's not going to win the nomination. She should be building bridges now. Bill needs to be quiet.

Voters have seen a nasty side of her and I feel they don't want someone like that representing the US on the world stage. We have had enough of that the last 8 years.

Bob   April 4th, 2008 10:03 am ET

Why Indiana. Looks to me where Hillary is leading is where is decisive decision is coming from. How about NC that has the most delegate next to pa. 158,134 than indiana that has 84. C'mon now!

Rusty Shackleford   April 4th, 2008 10:03 am ET

I love that, near perfect, generational gap there.

Mary   April 4th, 2008 10:03 am ET

This is the last post I am going to make, for some reason CNN chooses not to post them, in the open forum.
What is really sad, is watching the undertone of racial division in these forums.
The Clintons , like everyother president have appointed people that have supported them in the elections, that isnt something new, that is the game of politics, will Obama do the same, most likely, but that doesnt take away the dreams and hopes he is inspiring in so many.
Hillary used the Bosnia story, not once, but 3 times to say she had experience, once is a mistake, twice is a maybe I didnt say it before, 3 times is just an out right lie, we would accept the oh I made a mistake if someone we knew played that card 3 times.
Has Wright caused problems for Obama, yes, did Obams renounce him yes, should he leave the church, not so sure about that one.
Should the Clintons accept the fact that when they put their daughter out there to talk to people , she is open to questions, she doesnt get to hide behind it is none of your business, maybe to say that I would prefer those questions be directed at my parents, re-direct the issue.
Ths points I am trying to make here, is that there is stuff on both sides of these fences, what matters at the end of the day , is who will bring the US back , the Clintons, I dont think so, they are not respected outside of the US, and no matter what the US says, it is not a stand alone nation, it depends on world trade, and needs its allies to stand with them.

Jay Shah   April 4th, 2008 10:02 am ET

The Hillary supporters are someone being fooled by the lower expectations set by the clintons. It is widely known that Obama always starts 15-20 pts down in the polls in states like Penn or Indiana. HIm catching up is a testament to his campaign. There is nothing positive about Hillary hanging on to shreds of support.

The more people learn about the two candidates, the more they support Obama. Just yesterday, Hillary said she would go after Obama's pledged delegates. Do you Clintonites even know what that means? She is basically saying screw the democratic process. I wish you Clinton people would educate yourself. You guys are so stuck on Hillary, you refuse to keep up with what is going on in both campaigns.

Lee S.   April 4th, 2008 10:01 am ET

gerry   April 4th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Obama will run the table. Democratic voters in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana will all move to Obama to end this contest and ensure a democrat wins the Whitehouse in November.

Of course if she still stays in, Oregon, South Dakota and Montana will all weigh in with decisive Obama majorities in the 65% to 70% range.

The fat lady has sung, the parties over, would someone please tell Bill.

Helene   April 4th, 2008 9:58 am ET

I am amazed by some comments on Obama's supposed arrogance. When in fact the Clintons are the ones who think the nomination is owed to them, who insult people's intelligence, lie and will do everything possible to get to power.
The fact that Obama keeps raising huge amounts of money is the indication of his impact and his ability to change this country. And it is about time.

demo craxy   April 4th, 2008 9:58 am ET

Remember, HIllary is the status quo, and the clinton machine has been build over decades, not on ly with money, threats, fear, and brives, sex, etc.. they believe they deserve it, and if you say the contrary they will stab you, and will lie lie lie.
She has lost it, she is in so much debt, it is hard to believe she is still there, but she made millions last year, and where are her tax returns???
mmm........

she will loose both Indiana and PA, as hard as it is to believe, that is the destiny at this time...

remember and or mark my words..

Kevin, Louisville, Ky   April 4th, 2008 9:57 am ET

What will you old-fashioned Hillary supporters do when she lose...cry and wail....and go republican

Let me tell what we the Obama supporters will do when he loses..support the Democrats for a better America, we will be proud of Barack for changing the landscape, bring young pple to be a part of the processes and showing the world that not all Americans are racists and biased......

OBAMA has made America proud and brought out issues which matter to young America....

No Matter what happens ..Hillary will need Barack but Barack wont need Hillary .....

YES WE CAN ....SI SE PUERDE .....

John   April 4th, 2008 9:57 am ET

The Obama's bandwagon wheels are wobbling and will soon start coming off one by one.Look at it this way,Indiana state is sending a very strong message to the Obama group;that nobody is going to tell them who to vote for.The polls(statewide) has Hillary leading.That is a significant statement from the Indiana voters.Go to the Pennsylvania voters,the pundits,all they can spin on is that the Hillary lead has been reduced to 9% lead ! Hillary will win Pennsylvania,then win Indiana and finally knock Obama of his arrogant pedestal.The so called big wigs will endorse Obama as much as they want or choose to.The fact is,it is the voters that will pour water on the euphoria,if they havent already.I am convinced and confident that Hillary will win all the way to the White House.

Mike in Orlando   April 4th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Ever consider that the reason the news reports Hillary in a negative light is because she's a negative person?

She brings it on herself.

Kim in NC   April 4th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Not sure why NC isn't the "next decisive battleground" after PA. Obama has caught up to Clinton in IN, a state she should be winning, but that's no reason to ignore his double digit leads in NC, which is the only big state left after Pennsylvania.

Chipo   April 4th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Does anyone care that Hillary is ahead in the primary polls in every state coming up except North Carolina (no surprise there)? go to pollster.com. HRC is ahead in PA, Indiana, Kentucky, etc.

Lee From Treasure Island Florida   April 4th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Obama did not start to campaign there till today, Hillary, Bill and Chelsea have been all over the state...Give Obama a minute, he does his magic when the people meet him, look him in the eyes, hear him speak, feel his sincerity. Indiana was always going to be a close one, Pennsylvania a Clinton run-away, and NC a Obama sweep. I am betting Pennsylvania is a close one, but a Hillary win, NC is a Obama sweep, and Indiana is a just squeeze by Obama win. Then Hillary will bow out gracefully and unite the party as the noteworthly leader she is.

Wake up   April 4th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Obama has outspending everyone. But his 4 to 1 outspending does not bring a 4 to 1 results, not even close. If this is the way he lead US economics, that would be a disaster.

Lee WV   April 4th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Just another state she won't win big enough to help her ,if she actually wins.She still has time to lose it.

dEMABRAT   April 4th, 2008 9:55 am ET

We always hear about how much Obama has raised and not how much he has spent. Hmmm.

I am really tired of this race as I am sure most of you are but I am also tired of people calling HRC "another Huckabee" for which that statement cannot be farther from the truth. Obama is the big story and the media darling because he has given HRC a challenge. But with all the shortcomings of both the Democratic candidates I am glad that people are paying attention.

In regards to the age issue, FRED "old" people can based their decision of a history of living. History does repeat and a decision can never be made wisely without looking at history. What happen to

Whiners'   April 4th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Why are the Hill supporters always whining about the type of coverage Hillary gets, she gets that type of coverage because she promotes negativity, her and her gangster campaign staff. You guys have to realize her staff are a bunch of evil folks they are behind this do whatever takes to win campaign. If you want some "better" coverage of Hillary you can go to Faux news and they will help you with that. Fix news is in bed with the Hillary clan helping to promote the negatives that she is allowing. Besides didnt' SNL already work this out for Hillary, she can't still be blaming the media, it's ridiculous. Listen tell your candidate to start being a little more positive and start acting like a lady and I gurantee her negatives will start to disappear and the media will have something to report beside her negatives.

Kim4Obama   April 4th, 2008 9:51 am ET

to very concerned American. If you're talking about young people under 26 then they are included in Obama's health care plan. Perhaps you should do some additional research and find out where all the candidates stand so that you can make an intelligent decision.

To those blasting CNN to put out positive news regarding Hillary... Here's a thought... Perhaps there isn't any. Perhaps there is nothing negative to say about Obama that actually holds water. But if you really want to here negativity about Obama... check out FOX.

To those who continue to state that Obama hasn't put Hillary away with all his fund raising.... He has Hillary just won't admit it.

John   April 4th, 2008 9:50 am ET

We're all a little tired of hearing how Hillary is being picked on. Come on. She has the backing of the democratic machine and her own fortune. I'm not buying it. The democrats and their divisions are their own worst enemy.

kamenwati   April 4th, 2008 9:50 am ET

Senator Obama has beaten the socks off the mighty Clinton political machine at every turn. He's gotten more delegates, more votes, won twice as many states, and has set records with his campaign fundraising. He has run the most effective political camapign of any candidate in modern history. Clinton, despite all of her advantages in recognition and prominence in national politics, has been out manuvered and out fought from coast to coast. Clinton is only staying in the race out of sheer ego and ambition. She cannot and will not win the nomination. Those of you who are so enamored of her tenacity should stop and think about what she is doing to the party by delaying the inevitable nomination of her opponent. She's wasting precious time and resources trying to drag down Obama when she needs to be building him up for his inevitable confrontation with John McBush. It's time to move on to the coming presidential contest, time to focus our attention on ridding ourselves of this disasterous republican administration and their corruption and incompetence.

This always happens when posts are either for Barack Obama or Hillary.. the supporters for either of the two candidates blasts off at how evil the former candidate is. I think this is ridiculus.. We all have to come together as a party in the end.

Lets not forget that we stand for a UNITED America lets stop playing " Can you argue Better than a 5th Grader" its not going to help us. I am a supporter of Barack Obama, I believe that he will win. That being said, I think that if Hillary wins, I will still support her I believe that Hillary Clinton backers should to likewise, both these candidates would make very capable Presidents.

Don't get caught up on how unfair the media can be .. THIS is NOT a recent development.. LETS FOCUS ON THE ISSUES.. MAYBE TAKE SOMETIME TO LISTEN TO WHAT THE CANDIDATES ACTUALLY HAVE TO SAY... MAYBE LISTEN TO A CANDIDATE THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY NOT SUPPORTING ..

Ricky -Toronto   April 4th, 2008 9:48 am ET

Dear Concerned voter,

Don't forget who started out the campaign with little national name recognition. Who had a funny unsounding American name. Who did not have the support of a famous ex-President as a spouse. Who is not entirely 'white'. Who had to face the 'fear' speculation that he was not a Christian. Who was so far behind in the polls that it was kind of ludicrous to run against the inevitable Hilliary Clinton.

Now factor in age, race (so some extent) gender. To overcome all those early obstacles and be in a lead (even though it is close) is truly remarkable. Arrogance has not brought Obama to this place but a humble confidence. As a non-American looking from the outside Hilliary is the one who should be running away with this election.

I think she is the arrogant one, she did not have to be prepared for DAY ONE of the campaign ...after all why should she .....since the proclamation in her mind.....she is the one

Harerta Tesfa   April 4th, 2008 9:48 am ET

Concerned,
Actually, arrogant is someone that is holding the second place offering the vice presidency to someone that is in the first place.Dishonest is someone that lies and then misspeaks and doesn't disclose her taxes on time. Manipulative is someone that uses the sensitive issues in our society to incite fear, and then turns around and expects others to take responsibility for her mis-steps. Bold is someone that chooses Dr. Wright for adviser in his/her darkest time , then turns around and disown him. I am sure you know who that person is. The American people certainly have no problem recognizing the twisted games of such individual.

Ricardo   April 4th, 2008 9:47 am ET

First of all, how are the youths destrying anything? Before Obama came on the scene no politician espicially Clinton really cared if young people really voted...way I guess for her it depends on what state she is in. If majority of young people were in that state then maybe she would care. Listen...Obama did something that no other politician did and thats why he is winning, not because we the young people have no idea whats going on. If anything, the next president affects us more that you guys (older folks). We are the future leaders so get with the program.

Obama is the way to the future. OBAMA 08 – The Youths

AMP   April 4th, 2008 9:47 am ET

At the end of this long race,
when Hillary is on her way,

In addition to my money comment. I do think that it should be capped. In fact I think people should do general donations to the party and it gets split between the candidates equally.

Fred   April 4th, 2008 9:46 am ET

For some reason old people want more of the same. Cant acept change. While young people see this guy is will change goverment back to careing for the people. Not treat us like a heard of sheep. You Hillary and McCain supporters are a heard of sheep. I want honesty and Intergerty back in our goverment.

Marc-

Raising a lot of money is not equivalent to getting people to vote for you. So I don't get your point....

M.S. Indiana   April 4th, 2008 9:46 am ET

We the people are working for You Mr. Obama..
Come to Indiana Clinton's and lets play the voter's game...

Weird how the clinton's snf supporters think BO had to buy a few souls for his campaign, they started out with over 150 more super delegates from the beginning..

Luckly, us the People will decide the outcome... Unlike the Clinton idea, the super delegates should be doing the work for them...

Voice of Reason   April 4th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Hillary is a closet neo-con as is Evan Bayh and Joe Leiberman. They all come from moderate, centrist, hawkish policy perspectives that generated from the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). From a policy perspective, they are only a slight deviation from Republican perspectives, except tha they believe there is a role for government in social domestic programs. So, with Hillary or McCain, you get much of the same. Obama is the only candidate that inherits the genuine values of traditional Democrats. We need a clean brake from the extreme pendulum swing to the right created by Reagan/Bush/GW. Bill Clinton gave Dems a road map on Economy, but Obama will execute that plan with more legitimacy than Hillary could ever.

Steve   April 4th, 2008 9:45 am ET

"Wow, amazing with the amount of money he raises that he hasn't been able to wrap this up."

Well, its tough to "wrap anything up" when there's a whole month of no voting, while we just sit and wait for April 22nd and PA's vote.

Yeah, I wish it would go quicker. Hold the vote and let's get this thing done. Clinton is finished, we're just waiting around until they finally hold the vote make it "official".

ABC '08   April 4th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Stop your whining! Arrogance!!!

Barack Obama has shown nothing but respect towards Hillary! Your lack of intellectual depth makes it hard for you to see past the superficial arguments.

ABC '08

Not Surprised   April 4th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Again, how is Hillary going to steal this race? All polls show here on out that either she or he will win a couple more states but neither is runnng away with a big win even in PA, sorry Hill supporters Obama has closed the gap with a lot of time still left i know this makes you nervous, heheheeee, funny. The delegates and popular vote is still going to look the same after all this waste of money. So keep calling him racist and this and that knowing that it's not true, those attacks just keep pusing up his positives and bringing down your precious Hillary's negatives. Oh and America knows Hillary and the gang are sending out some very racist adds in PA. and she knows it too, sad. No wonder Fox always has her up a few points in their polls when all the legitimate polls have Obama ahead, funny again. Hill has officially sold out to FOX by the way. She needs to do like Davig Gergen said last night if she wants to raise her negatives and look good, she should come out to America and say she is not going to let race be part of this election and use Rev. Wright as a political tool, besides that is suppose to be the Republicans job. I don't know just a suggestion.

Brian   April 4th, 2008 9:44 am ET

What I find suspicious is the amount of money Obama has raised. I know the online market is big. But it just seems fishy. And its sad that once again it will come down to money.

Gregory T, NYC   April 4th, 2008 9:44 am ET

OBAMA!!!!
I am so excited about the idea of Obama winning. Young people see something in this man that is vibrant and fresh, and the rest of America needs to wake up and take notice of it. Young people are our greatest natural resource and ANYONE who can engage them in the electoral process is a winner in my book!!
GOBAMA!!!
OBAMA-08!!!

Bram   April 4th, 2008 9:44 am ET

You people are rediculous. This is not a game and every one treats it as a cut throat game. At the end of the day they have te exact same policies and one is a woman and one is black. Both would break down stereotypes etc. So if everyone wants to sulk and say they will vote for McCain you are being rediculous and your not thinking the big picture because since Obama and Clinton are the same (setting aside their personality) than if you vote for McCain you are voting against yourself and own candidate.

Colt Seavers   April 4th, 2008 9:44 am ET

Apparently there are some with influence that have something vested in Hillary getting the nomination and it appears to be the old political party. Obama was right and it's more apparent everyday. Time for a change in the guard from just the cherry picking state supporters. The new voters have come to take our place as the new Democratic party we won't be sleeping in this election.

Karma S.-From INDIANA   April 4th, 2008 9:41 am ET

Why is it that Billary supporters never talk about anything except how "bad" "arrogant" "racist" (yeah sure, who are the racists?) etc. Barack Obama is. These Billary supporters never say anything to the rest of America that would convince us to vote for the Clintons or that make her more appealing in any way. These folks demonstrate clearly just who actually still supports the Clintons..... Very sad.

Vote for an accepting and caring and, most importantly..... honest man.

Anita Rauch   April 4th, 2008 9:41 am ET

Just once I would like to be one of the people in these polls. Personally I would not vote for Hiliary if she was the only one running. This country does not need a Clinton-Bush dynasty.

Sean   April 4th, 2008 9:41 am ET

Anyone want to talk about "bought endorsements"? Ok, lets... Anybody who has worked for the Clintons in the past are expected to endorse the Clintons. And we've all seen what happens if someone actually makes up their own mind. They're labeled a traitor or "Judas", and their endorsement is downplayed. So if anything, the Clintons have bought all of their endorsements with job promises of past, present, or future.

Marc   April 4th, 2008 9:40 am ET

Once we see how close PA is and once Obama wins NC, he should prevail in Indiana. This race is your Obama. Hey Sharon, ask Hillary to show her tax returns.

Stacy Clarks,   April 4th, 2008 9:39 am ET

These polls are nothing Obama....remeber when they said Hillary had double digit leads in Pennsylvania, well you went in there, and knocked that lead down....

you have not even started in indiana, and you are tied....WE ARE BEHIND YOU 100% OBAMA!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!

Tom   April 4th, 2008 9:39 am ET

Leading in Pennsylvania, Statistically tied but leading in Indiana, won Ohio, for all intents and purposes won Texas, won California, won Florida though they won't seat them, would win Michigan if Obama would allow a re-vote.......and beats McCain while McCain beats Obama in many of those states – is it possible that the voices of reason are finally being heard over the hotheaded and naive voices of youth? Obama will not win the general election because though familiarity can at times be a good thing, it can also breed contempt and we're getting to know Mr. Obama – it's not quite as pretty as the youth want to believe.

Sharon   April 4th, 2008 9:39 am ET

There are PLENTY of polls out there that support Hillary.....why do you only show and highlight the ones that make it look like he's doing well.....why don't you have a headline about the polls that show HILLARY beating McCain head to head in OH, PA, AND FL????? Or the polls that continually show BO BEHIND McCain in the General Election?

Why don't you have a headline that covers how many MORE VOTES Hillary has per DELEGATE?????? For every delegate Hillary got in NH, she has nearly 13,000 voters behing each one.....where in a western state, for every delegate BO has, there is only 1200 voters behind each one.....Why isn't info like this covered?????? Hillary will end up with the popular vote in the end....PA, WV, KY, IN, and yes, Puerto Rico will give her the lead in Popular Vote....

Joanne, Indianapolis   April 4th, 2008 9:39 am ET

I love it, Indiana is on the map as a "battleground state" and Obama and Clinton are both campaigning here. I think the last candidate of note who campaigned here was Robert Kennedy in 1968!

Even though I'm for Obama, I will say thank you Hillary for making the Hoosier state count.

Terry Williams   April 4th, 2008 9:39 am ET

Bush filled his cabinet with his cronies which caused the devastation of his administration these past 7 years.

Obama is going to fill his cabinet with people who he paid off or promised positions to get their endorsements. Is that worse?

If you swim in the sewers of corrupt Chicago politics, you're going to stink a little.

Chris from San Antonio   April 4th, 2008 9:38 am ET

She needs to win 70% in EVERY STATE to have a chance at overtaking Obama.

ike   April 4th, 2008 9:38 am ET

listen BO was never thought to even have a chance to beet the Clintons and look at the polls its either a dead heat or a few percentage points apart. Hillary is weak and cries while she campaigns. dont need a soft fem at the helms we need some one who will try to talk to our enemies to de escalate situations instead of going into a tantrum and crying.

THE CORP   April 4th, 2008 9:38 am ET

Obama's nothing more than a pimp, catering to the burned out youth of our declining society. These are the naive fools who buy into his platitude ridden spew. Nothing is on point, all idealism.

Praetorian, Fort Myers   April 4th, 2008 9:38 am ET

I think we need to host a bolling tournament after PA between Hillary and Obama to who gets the top of the ticket.

Surely it would be more entertaining and more dignified than observing trying to explain who they will lead our nation–with no executive experience in any capacity, with no military service of any kind, with a marxist-socialist scheme for healthcare, taxation, and free enterprise that would make Karl himself raise his eyebrows.

Yep...a boll off would be better and I can put away the Tagamet.

Ricardo   April 4th, 2008 9:38 am ET

Senator Clinton is the best Candidate.
Young kids are voting for Obama because they don't realize how important it is to have Health Insurance.

The truth is that these youths really need to examine issues and not think of this as American Idol

I have my own business and there is NO way I would hire anyone without experience

Please Wake up America.
Republicans will destroy Obama.

I want health insurance........you go girl!

Falconnetti   April 4th, 2008 9:37 am ET

Wow, I didn't think that Obama stood a chance in Indiana despite those crazy polls very early on that had him up by 25 points over Hillary. If he wins Indiana, it is really over for Hillary.

Celia Ann   April 4th, 2008 9:36 am ET

Rep Lee Hamilton will campaign hard for Sen Obama in Indiana. He has made national security is role after his long term in the house. He also has memory of the Clintons pardoning 11 people who were in federal prision for killing civilians and law enforcement officers. Lee Hamilton was one of the people who voted disent just to have it on the record because they could not stop a presidential pardon.

AS YOU KNOW WELL FROM THE OHIO, TX PRIMARIES, POLLS ARE NOT ONLY NOT ACCURATE, BUT OFTEN CHANGE DRASTICALLY WHEN IT COMES TIME TO ACTUALLY VOTE. THESE POLLS ARE NOT REALLY IMPORTANT. WHY IS OBAMA STILL GETTING ALL OF THIS GOOD FREE PRESS?! FROM YOU AND ALL THE MEDIA. GO TO CMPA.COM (CENTER FOR MEDIA AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS) AND SEE WHAT THE MEDIA HAS DONE TO HILLARY CLINTON AND FOR OBAMA. THE BIAS IS INCREDIBLE.....JUST ONE SNIPPET OF RESEARCH ON THIS AREA DONE BY THEM: OVERALL POSITIVE COVERAGE:

OBAMA: 83%

CLINTON: 53%

POSITIVE EVALUATIONS BY NETWORK:

OBAMA CLINTON
90% 68% ABC
91% 50% CBS
73% 38% NBC

GET OFF OF THE BANDWAGON AND REPORT THE NEWS. THE MEDIA IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNBIASED!

GO HILLARY!!

donnajp   April 4th, 2008 9:35 am ET

Hillary Clinton is who I want to be my president. She is a fighter and if America needed a fighter, now is the time. She is the strongest leader running for president and also the smartest and most experienced – with a lot of hard work and prayer, she will be the Democratic nominee and win the election in November. We over 60 women love her strength and admire her will of iron.

Hillary 08   April 4th, 2008 9:35 am ET

WE don't want Obama and there's Proof of that!

jj April 4th, 2008 9:27 am ET

Obama's endorsements are bought, note the foreign affairs and national security credentials??? Bet they were promised jobs in the cabinet just as some superdelegates were. If Obama gets the nom, wait & see if he wins. Which I definately hope he doesn't. It will be a very sad day for America if he does, he has a private agenda and it came thru loud & clear when he made his speech about his preacher. He blamed everyone but the preacher. He basically said he was right. Do not want a racist for President.
----------------------

Wow, that's funny. I seem to remember at least two interviews where senator Obama denounced Rev. Wright's comments which he found offensive.

Tired voter   April 4th, 2008 9:32 am ET

The polls are gonna change pretty soon... we all saw this trend in all other states. Obama always brings up his numbers as the actual primary date is approached. So, I don't think Hillary or her supporters should keep their hopes up.....

dEMABRAT   April 4th, 2008 9:31 am ET

Do you notice we only hear how much Obama raised and never how much he has spent?

Marc   April 4th, 2008 9:30 am ET

Wow, amazing with the amount of money he raises that he hasn't been able to wrap this up. I'm starting to think I wouldn't want this guy managing my tax dollars. Indiana should pick Hillary and Obama needs to agree to that North Carolina debate.

jfs Memhis, Tn   April 4th, 2008 9:30 am ET

GO-O-O Obama...............the voters are going to see the writing on the wall and end this thing once and for all !!!! Only issue is that all of the small Clinton campaign donors are wasting their money on what seems an improbable outcome. Really not a good thing Hillary, you should put your personnel hopes aside and think about your supporters for a change. Stop the bleeding Now that's novel!!!

Jared   April 4th, 2008 9:30 am ET

There's also a SurveyUSA poll with Hillary Clinton leading by 9 points. 'Forgot' to mention that one?

elaine   April 4th, 2008 9:30 am ET

HILLIARY NEEDS TO WIN THIS RACE...SHE OWES TO MUCH MONEY TO LOSE...THATS WHY THE CLINTONS ARE SO DESPERATE TO WIN...SHE MIGHT BE STUCK WITH A BILL.
IF SHE IS SO EXPERIENCE AND WOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE 3AM PHONE CALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY THAN WHY CAN'T SHE MANAGE HER CAMPAIGN BETTER...IF SHE DOES STEAL THE NOMINATION SHE BETTER NOT ANSWER THE 3AM CALL...IT MIGHT BE HER CREDITORS.

Uncle Sam   April 4th, 2008 9:29 am ET

Do you believe it is possible for CNN to post even one story that is critical of Senator Obama? Just one. Senators Clinton and McCain are constantly bashed, but never a negative word about Sen. Obama. Whatever your political affiliation, is this really the type of coverage Americans deserve? I am thankful for the intelligence of the American people to see through this bias, but it is a shame.

Mano   April 4th, 2008 9:28 am ET

This always happens when posts are either for Barack Obama or Hillary.. the supporters for either of the two candidates blasts off at how evil the former candidate is. I think this is ridiculus.. We all have to come together as a party in the end.

Lets not forget that we stand for a UNITED America lets stop playing " Can you argue Better than a 5th Grader" its not going to help us. I am a supporter of Barack Obama, I believe that he will win. That being said, I think that if Hillary wins, I will still support her I believe that Hillary Clinton backers should to likewise, both these candidates would make very capable Presidents

Brian   April 4th, 2008 9:27 am ET

It is very apparent which candidate would be better for the future. Indiana voters are particularly divided among age: Obama beats Clinton 63-36 percent among 18 and 29 year-olds while those 60 and older favored Clinton, 60-34 percent.

Hello? What's soo offensive about my comments?
Boy, cherry picking polls has become a way of life for you.............Trying to bash and bring down Hillary at every turn only makes her supporters stronger. Americans LOVE a fighter, we love a person who gets knocked around and still stays on her feet. If you treated BO half as bad as you treat Hillary he'd be crawling under a rug.........she's sooo much better than your coverage of her. She DESERVES better from you. Is it so much to ask for you to be FAIR?

Concerned Voter   April 4th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Interesting that even in this late stage of the primary that Hillary is still in it and Obama has not run away with the nomination. Obama needs to re-think his arrogance as he does not have the nomination and most certainly not the general election. He can't unite the party, he most certainly can't unite the country.
