The race appears to be narrowing in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Crossing paths with rival Barack Obama at a union event Tuesday morning, Hillary Clinton compared herself to the come-from-behind NCAA champion Kansas Jayhawks.

“A few of you were up late watching that game last night,” she told a gathering of the Communications Workers of America in Washington, D.C. “Great comeback, right? My kind of outcome.”

The Jayhawks tied the Memphis Tigers with just 2.1 seconds left to go in regulation before scoring an overtime victory Monday night.

She said that the union members knew what it was like to go up against big odds: “You know what it’s like to be told to go away, to quit. I know a little something about that too,” she said, to cheers from the crowd.

Both Democratic candidates, who got a warm reception from the labor corwd, were addressing a union audience Tuesday for the first time since Clinton’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, resigned amid controversy, after helping Colombian leaders push for a free trade agreement she opposed.

The New York senator focused most of her fire on John McCain as she looked to reassure them that she opposes a potential free trade pact with Colombia.

There can be "no trade deal with Colombia while violence against trade unionists continues," she said, adding that she would continue to push Congress to reject the deal.

Taking the stage after Clinton, Barack Obama - whose economic adviser Austan Goolsbee, grabbed headlines for allegedly assuring Canadian officials he was not as opposed to NAFTA as his campaign trail rhetoric suggested - also vowed to fight the deal, and pointed to a host of other trade agreements he had publicly criticized.

“What I refuse to accept is that we have to sign trade deals that put the interests of multinational corporations ahead of the interests of American workers. I refuse to accept that we should sign trade deals that lack enforceable labor and environmental standards,” said Obama.

The 700,000 member strong CWA is the largest remaining unclaimed labor prize, along with the United Auto Workers. The union decided last fall that it would not back a candidate during the Democratic primary process, although it freed its member unions to make their own endorsements.

Gary,

I have no problem with voting for a strong candidate who is a woman. But I expect that candidate to have integrity, honesty and is able to run her campaign professionally.

The campaign is a glimmer into how she would run the country.

Unfortunately, THAT woman is not running for president.

So, as a 50+ woman, I will have to vote for the better candidate, Obama.

HC   April 8th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

First she could identify with the New York Giants wining the superbowl as an underdog, then she was the same a ROCKY balboa running up the stairs and not stopping midway. Today she's all about comeback like the jayhawks. and don't forget she's a superior bowler.

Guess the USA has a champion here that can change colors like a cameleon. Is this what the country really needs?

Jen-0-palooza   April 8th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Being from Kansas, I am offended that Hillary Clinton would compare herself to our KU Jayhawks!
We do not lie to make ourselves look better, bigger or more experienced.
We do not cheat to win.
We do not blame everyone else for our deficiencies.
You are not worthy of a comback, Hillary.
We need someone in the White House who actually has Integrity.
Hillary, you do not qualify in that category.

Because I continue to hear Senator Barrack has no experience   April 8th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Did you know that there were many great President that did not have half the experience that Senator Obama Barrack, has, yet they made great Presidents. Did you know that Senator Hillary Clinton has no experience as a President only that she is the formal Presidents wife. So please don't used this as an excuse because that's the reason our country is were it is today. I want to beleive that I have the knowledge and direction to know that senator Obama Barrack " is the best man for the job ........

So I guess her attacks on Obama were the last ditch foul efforts we thought they were. I can make comparisons too.

James   April 8th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Hillary is kidding herself....When she fouls him, Obama can hit his free-throws. No overtime this time.

Jayhawks = #1 in '08
Obama = the Prez '09

Fred TN   April 8th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

The Clintons are finally being seen for who they really are. Despite the public face they put on things; the spin is all the things we've seen throughout this campaign. I sit in awe of some of tactics. Barack made an interesting statement in one the debates "I'm beginning which Clinton I'm running against".. I'd wondered the same thing. I at one time admired the Clintons until many truths about their character has come into play. For the sake of the party, Hillary needs to wrap it up! If this is an indication of how she'll run the white house, I'm moving to Paris!

Lanny Davis   April 8th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

I am like Rocky.
I am like Kansas.
Is it really a comeback when once upon a time you were supposed to coronated and due to your 90s mentality you ride in Hillacopters in Iowa and stay in plush "royal" accomdations and waste campaign money to less than zero, you get your pantsuit kicked in delegate count, you have 48 different personalities (all w credibility issues), you wink-wink foreign govts and create lies to cover up, you fire but keep penn, you duck sniper fire ... this is all so 90s. Excess, waste, all trick plays, no fundamentals.

I am a lunch bucket white person, that is what the clinton campagin is referring to us poor white folk as uneducated and lunch bucket hill billies. Too funny, BUT THIS HILL BILLY IS CERTAINLY A VERY SMART INDIVIDUAL WITH "COMMON SENSE" so there fore I say, Hillary needs to get a grip and bow out. because this lunch bucket uneducated white person is voting for OBAMA 08...

Hillbilly, you are showing your lunch bucket ignorance. Which is by the way what the Hillary camp banks on. Stupid people like you.

Donald, SC   April 8th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Joanne & Amy in Iowa,

Some politicians lie, others embellish their stories, and a few stick to the truth. Our hope is that we can find the most trustworthy of the folks who run for a particular office. Experience good, knowledge better, however honesty is the most important. Any time we consistently catch a politician lying and continue to support that person, we need to ask ourselves why and how bad the other candidates really are. If our answer is based on the fact that we simply like a particular candidate, then maybe we need to look at ourselves. Else, just go ahead a vote for which candidate you wish. In the end, we get what we ask for.

Saqib   April 8th, 2008 11:59 am ET

I think a more fitting analogy would be to compare Clinton to Memphis. They played well and got a big lead, but then blew it. The only difference is that in the last 10 seconds or so of the game, when Kansas had a 7-point lead and Memphis they couldn't possibly come back, they stopped playing. They could have played dirty and kept fouling, but instead they lost gracefully. If last night's result were really Clinton's "kind of outcome", she would do like Memphis did in that last 10 seconds and bow out.

EXCERPTS FROM CLINTON'S MIND:
NCAA is "my kind of outcome" ... look at me, I am just like all of you blue collar sports fans!

Basketball is where you put a textured brown ball into some sort of hoop-like receptical, correct?

Hey, where did I put my Yankees cap?

Er, wait, does America have a team whose hat I can wear? I almost forgot what I was running for.

We see through you, Clinton.

Anyone but Hillary in '08

Barb L. Miller Florida   April 8th, 2008 11:52 am ET

So, let me get this straight....Clinton's supporters say its better to go
with the devil you know (Clinton) , then to go with the devil you don't know (Obama). Are you people for real.? She can't run her own campaign and you think she's capable of running a country. Wait till Americans learn that Bill Clinton was paid consultant for INFOUSA ( a data base that targets senior citizens for scams). He has foreign governments paying him (both China and India) and investigations are currently going on right now to see who contributed to their Library. Eight years in the White House is enough, time for new blood. No more Clintons and no more Bushs.

I can almost be certain she stole those words from Obama. lol.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bennet   April 8th, 2008 11:47 am ET

I sincerely hope that after Hillary loses the nomination that she will turn her fire to John McCain, and not continue to gripe about to officiating in the primary race. For some reason I can see her being a sore loser, and getting the "well, if I can't be president, Obama can't either" mentality. Hil' do us a favor and the right thing when you lose this primary race: back Obama with all you've got, because you know – it may be deep down and hidden behind your last months of campaigning, but you know – that Obama would be a better president than McCain.

You may have a tough time convincing your obstinate following though...

Farren Ballanst   April 8th, 2008 11:45 am ET

I give Hillary points for being willing to compare herself to anything from Kansas–now that's self-depricating!

Why is it that YOU the MEDIA have to be so negative against Hillary! Why can you not see she is a great person and someone who doing something so great! McCain and Obama have made so huge flubs and have sorry supporters who discriminates. I am beginning to feel some of YOU in the media are causing this DIVISION!

What is it? Are you afraid to have a WOMAN as our POTUS! Are you so sexist you have to smear her every day?

I am so disapointed in CNN and I am most importantly getting tired of all the smear tactics. I think some of you need to go back to school and retake Journalism 1001.

Colin   April 8th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Hey Gary, please stop your uneducated ranting. I'm a young voter and I have a feeling I understand this election alot more then you do. You claim and I will admit that I am lacking the "mortality to vote." I'm not sure if you know but mortality is defined as the state or conditon of being subject to death, which unless I am much mistaken has nothing to do with voting. Do me a favor, if your going to yell at us, at least do it in proper English.

VW, Montgomery, AL   April 8th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Jan, Obama never said that he VOTED against the war, he said that he was AGAINST the war from the beginning. Just as I was, a regular citizen. So please get your facts straight. Just because he wasn't able to vote against it doesn't mean he was pro-war, pro-iraq....

Political Jonze   April 8th, 2008 11:41 am ET

She couldn't name a player on either team – it's all ridiculous and nothing more than silly pandering. It comes off brutally bad as well, like an adult trying to sound cool to their kids.

First she's comparing herself to Rocky, than Paulette Revere, then the first Female whatever in Montana, now the Jayhawks. She's the establishment candidate, the one with all of the vaunted experience – how can she be the underdog? Because she ran a terrible campaign with her staff a mess?

Ron   April 8th, 2008 11:37 am ET

To DM in Arlington:
Read back your own words: "the former Clinton pastor".
BHO's character flaws show precisely because Rev. Wright is not his former pastor. How can someone who calls himself a Christian expose his little kids to such bile in their formative years? And what a miracle it must have taken for Obama to go to the same church every Sunday for 20 years, but magically be absent on only the specific days Wright spewed those words.
Get a brain.

Angela London   April 8th, 2008 11:36 am ET

Obama supporters are downright nasty, they actually have PUT ME OFF OBAMA. Clinton might have lied but tell me which politician hasn't.

What about Obama's blatant lie. I sat in the pew for 20 years but I totally disagree with what my pastor says. Obama supporters are stupid, they go on words not actions.

Brad Burklow, Harrisburg, IL   April 8th, 2008 11:32 am ET

Adam,
When you say things like, "obama's fans are nothing but a bunch of children who need a nap", you lose credibility. Calm down and look at the big picture. There are of course plenty of McCain, Obama, AND Hillary supporters who are intelligent, thoughtful people who just want what is best for this country. Obama supporters who act juvenile just haven't been listening.

Jbecks   April 8th, 2008 11:31 am ET

GW   April 8th, 2008 11:31 am ET

The Jay Hawks stayed in it from the git go. They were right were every player wants to be when they imagine greatness. Hillary is an example of what coaches teach their players the world over; don't underestimate your opponent.

That last second 3-pointer that sent the game into OT looked more like Obama's (Iowa's) shot.

Bob, Phoenix   April 8th, 2008 11:29 am ET

One big difference, Hillary. . . . Kansas had to actually perform the work, not make up the story and declare yourself the winner! Basketball has rules – you can't tell the crowd the ball went in if it didn't (there are more TV cameras than in Bosnia). You can't send your husband out on the floor to try and intimidate the referees into changing the calls. You can't get players who pledged themselves to play for one team to change teams after the game has been played.

Nick   April 8th, 2008 11:27 am ET

At this point, she is overplaying the underdog card to a ridiculous degree.

A former First Lady with a $109 million income, who had a huge lead and the Democratic establishment behind her only months ago cannot be an underdog. period.

Fitz   April 8th, 2008 11:27 am ET

I REALLY WISH CNN WOULD REVIEW EACH POST THAT CONTAINS ANY REFERENCE TO OBAMA BEING BLAMED FOR FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN AND DELETE IT. IF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE THAT STUPID AFTER ALL THE FACTS THAT THEY CANNOT SIMPLY UNDERSTAND WHAT A 2 EAR OLD CAN AND THAT IS FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN BROKE PARTY RULES (NO OBAMA'S RULE) AND STOP BLAMING BARACK OBAMA FOR THAT. JUST DELETE ALL THOSE IDIOTIC POSTS.

THANKS

Tony Z- MD   April 8th, 2008 11:26 am ET

I am surprised she didn't say Michigan and Florida should have been in the tournament. Later today she will announce her bracket with Kansas as the winner. Tomorrow, she will be saying I don't understand why President Bush does not have them at the White House.

EBC   April 8th, 2008 11:26 am ET

You got to be kidding me.... has she no shame.

Jesus, is there NO end to her madness? I mean now she's playing the "sports anchorman" role? Does she honestly think anyone is buying her despicable woof tickets? She's NOT trustworthy, it comes off every time she pulls these stupid stunts. She's NOT believable at all. Give me a break!!

Just when I think this WOMAN can't SINK ANY LOWER, she doesn't just go into the gutter, she gets UNDER THE GUTTER with these petty-sewage politics.

One minute she's claiming and copying Sen. Obama's campaign slogan "Yes will WILL" when she realized that his original "YES WE CAN" slogan was a BIG HIT; THEN she claims it "takes her longer to get dress, so she should get a few extra points; AND the next minute she's copying Sen. Obama's bowling stunt on the Ellen Degeneres show which showed she DID NOT bowl better than Sen. Obama.

So it goes to reason that every time Sen. Clinton tries to mimmick the same stunts and directs it at Sen. Obama, she comes off BADLY in the polls!!! DAH.

Every time she or one of her staffers (Penn) gets CAUGHT with their foot in their mouths. What do they do? They blame Sen. Obama. Her repeated remarks and attacks regarding Rev. Wright has done nothing but BACKFIRED in her FACE and yet she ignorantly STILL continues to go there. Geeeez.....

When is this woman going to GET it, Americans DON'T TRUST HER on ALL levels!!

Raum   April 8th, 2008 11:25 am ET

Amusing how the caption reads: "The race appears to be narrowing in Pennsylvania" when this article has nothing to do with PA. Just another cheapshot by CNN trying to make this a close race. Anyway, Obama has been quiet lately... guess he's writing another idiotic speech to "inspire" us.

Matt   April 8th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Hillary, you may be a competitor, but unfortunately you will never be among the ranks of inspirational comeback stories. You couldn't hold Rocky's jock strap and I'm pretty sure you can't make a layup. In the sports-themed comparisons you've been making, you mostly resemble Mike Tyson. A great competitor that can punish an opponent. But, when facing defeat, Mike won't hesitate to bite off the other boxer's ear. This kind of fight ends up with Tyson losing both the fight and his dignity.

jfs Memhis, Tn   April 8th, 2008 11:22 am ET

She and the Pennsylvania Political Machine count on the average Blue collar Voter not to read what is GOING on around them and worse yet, not care!!! She needs to let these people alone and stop her story telling.

They dont vote for a canidate they know nothing about, only what he tells you.He isnt going to tell you the truth.There is a saying in this country. WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WONT HURT YOU. Think about it.

shirley   April 8th, 2008 11:22 am ET

Hillary is not being robbed of the nomination, if Senator Obama was as far behind in the polls her campaign and supporter's would be calling for him to step down for the good of the Party. Senator Obama has not suggested Hillary step down until she is ready .
I guess Hillary is looking for the 'pity poor me' vote.

When they succeed in that and you put them in office, they go about their own personal agenda. Check it out.

Joe   April 8th, 2008 11:19 am ET

Hillary has been "like the Kansas Jayhawks" and the "New York Giants". Too bad, she and her husband made over a $100 million dollars while the rest of us found it harder and harder to make ends meet. So, she may think she's like one of those sports teams that came from behind, BUT SHE'S NOT LIKE THE REST OF US. Who is she trying to kid?

P   April 8th, 2008 11:18 am ET

I am amazed that Obama has been caught in some pretty serious "mistruths" or "lies" but somehow we seem to dwell on Hillary. I also don't like it when people refer to Hillary as "the Clintons"

That makes no sense. We dont even ask about payments in the ER, we send them a bill unless they give us there insurance information, which is something that is asked on the forms if they are able to fill them out at check in. If someone comes in dying the last thing we are asking is about money, we have to stablize them regardless.......SO IT IS A LIE for all you who know nothing about working in a hospital....Get off the bandwagon and do your own researching.

Do the various campaigns hire bloggers to fill the internet with dirt about their opponents? I think they must, and I suspect that many of them post on CNN (and other blogs too) under a variety of names. Its hard to tell for sure because they imitate the style of ordinary bloggers.

Gerald F.   April 8th, 2008 11:07 am ET

I'm sorry. But Senator Obama is repeating more and more of the same ideals that are so much like Senator Clinon's. I am wondering why he is fighting her so much? Especially as being a different type of politician(he says). Except for a few points each has stated. Senator Obama is starting to sounda lot less original at times. Don't get me wrong. He is a strong speaker and expresses himself well with a lot of potential for good work. But his lack of experience in upper level government still shows through.

Donald, SC   April 8th, 2008 11:07 am ET

Where does this woman find these things she is saying? Every time someone reaches an accomplishment she has to try and steal his/her thunder. Here is some news Hillary, “Kansas finished the year with the BEST record of any other division I team.” Therefore, they were NOT the underdog but the expected winners. She also lied to the audience. She sent her boy to comfort the Columbians about her TRUE position on free trade with them. If she did not send him, then she MUST be the most stupid person ever to run for the Presidency of the USA (or maybe we are the stupid ones for believing her).
Also CNN news, what does the, “ALLEGED action of Goolsbee,” have anything to do with what Mark Penn and thus Senator Clinton did? This is really poor reporting on your part.
This election has been the most amazing I have seen yet. You have your McCain supporters, Clinton supports, and Obama supports. But, when you analyze the race you will find that it is a four against one race (Hillary, Chelsea, Bill, and Johnny vs. Barrack). Why do I say this? Well we all know that the Clintons have ganged-up 3 to 1 against Obama. Never before (to my knowledge) have we had this situation where a candidates family members (including children) were allowed to campaign for the candidate without being accountable for what ever the candidate says or does (has anyone ever questioned Bill and Chelsea about Hillary’s actions or visa versa? NO). Why not? Are they not acting as spokesperson for Senator Clinton, therefore subjugating themselves to the same scrutiny as she? And when you toss in Senator McCain, the whole thing starts to really spin (stinks).
How many people are aware that Mark Penn and Charles Black who were at one both campaign managers for Senators Clinton and McCain respectively worked for the same firm (BKCH)? In fact, Black worked for Penn. Talk about conflict of interest or co-operative campaigning against common opponents? Half the folks in each Senator’s campaign staff have worked with each other (some continue to work with each other). Where is the separation of Democrats and Republican? This re-affirms Governor Ventura’s statement about how corrupt both parties can be. When you look at all these spins together, you begin to appreciate, win or loose, the tremendous effort and success that the Obama campaign has had.

Steve in DC   April 8th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Ok...so we got Rocky, Paulette Revere and now The Jayhawks....

Which one is her real voice?

Go Obama!

An Agnostic Democrat   April 8th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Hillary needs a basketball jammed down her throat to shut her lyin', doule-talkin mouth once and for all. That's my kind of outcome!

vic nashville,Tn   April 8th, 2008 11:06 am ET

Obama and Hillary are losing their ground day by day there is no doubt !!!
Mr. Dean your dream is going away

First! The come back kid, then Rocky, now Kansas. These follow by the mis speak, Nafta, the girl with no insurance, now the Penn. Lies, Lies and more Lies. The sad thing about this is, blind voters are saying its ok to lie to get to the white house.

Go Obama

Johnny G   April 8th, 2008 11:05 am ET

She is such a PHONY! Again, she's being fed lines meant to appeal to whatever audience she is addressing. As if she watched the basketball game, or knows the first thing about basketball for that matter. You make me sick Hillary.

Amy in Iowa   April 8th, 2008 11:04 am ET

Karen, it is not political to lie. It is an abomination to lie. Hillary can not be trusted because she is a pathological liar.

"She said that the union members knew what it was like to go up against big odds"

Yeah... like going up against big lobbying firms like, say... Burson-Marsteller Worldwide? The kind of firm that Hillary employs still? The firm that was hired by the Colombians? Yeah... they know what it's like!

Adam   April 8th, 2008 11:01 am ET

Obama's fans are nothing but a bunch of children who have not had a nap today. Read some of these comments here and on other post. Its sad!

Leticia in Texas   April 8th, 2008 11:01 am ET

Obama is such a slick willy. IF he gets the nomination, I'll be so happy that the election will be called for McCain within 15 minutes of news reporting because of the callous way that he went after Hillary. We Hillary supporters will never vote for him!! He will go down in history as the biggest loser, even worse than Dukakis back in '88.

Lee WV   April 8th, 2008 11:00 am ET

Yea,would only be like coming back 1,000,000 votes,30 states,and 200 delegates.Sounds like a NCAA comeback to me.

Robert IL   April 8th, 2008 11:00 am ET

Hillary supporters are funny. I like how they have to write everything in ALL CAPS to get their point across.

I also think it's funny how people believe the absolute garbage that comes out of this lady's mouth. She says everything with such laziness in her voice that it makes me sick.

She is making a mockery out of this election and out of her own supporters. We need time to rally around someone who doesn't have to resort to kitchen sink tactics to win. Enough already.

EWSC   April 8th, 2008 11:00 am ET

People say we might not know Obama well. Ok, fine. It's my vote, and I would rather chance myself on Obama than vote for a liar. Hillary has repeatedly "mispoke" and do we really want a president who says one thing and does another? We need change.
Dem 08

Karen G   April 8th, 2008 10:59 am ET

Why don't you obama people ,stop talking about Hillary lieing and remember ,obama has many many more. Maybe we should start counting and comparing, if you haven't been around to know that it is a political thing,then you shouldn't even be voicing your opinion.

Inquiring Mind   April 8th, 2008 10:59 am ET

I really, really, really, like both candidates (Clinton & Obama), who ever win the nomination I am willing to give them my support. There's only one problem that I have, and that is, "I can't seem to grasp anything significant in OBAMA's speeches", they sound good but there's no real evidence in what he's saying. I would like for someone to please help me with this. In all seriousness, I need to know if he really knows what he will be up against.

Kareem from Hampton VA   April 8th, 2008 10:58 am ET

Yeah for this metaphor to work you have to FIRST BE TIED!!

Ok Im sorry does any one else get that look on their face now when Hillary talks! She's really scaring me....this is almost psychotic!!

Phong Nguyen   April 8th, 2008 10:58 am ET

There has always been a different standard applied to Hillary Clinton because of her long time public service and her private nature as a woman. S. Obma has charmed people with his message of hope and change without much to show for it because of his relatively short resume and therefore he likes to play down experience in this contest. Hillary has shown her toughness as a fighter which is judged very highly in a man but maybe not in a woman. Hillary has been unfairly judged by most people because they do not look within themselves and try to related themselves to Hillary. S. Obama lies and is forgiven or overlooked but Hillary cannot exaggerate even a little bit without being hollered and jeered.

Amy in Iowa   April 8th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Suit? I am willing to vote Obama; a fresh suit with honest intentions, over a Hillary pantsuit filled with outright lies and deceptions any day.

Tim Weiss   April 8th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Actually, its Barack Obama who has come from behind... He's was trailing from the beginning. Who seriously thought that Barack Obama would win it or even make it close in February 2007? She's always been the favorite.

Shirl   April 8th, 2008 10:55 am ET

Please take Barack off televison saying nothing. I am sick of him and I cut off my television each time he appears hollering. Hillary is professional and presidential. Hillary '08

Black Republican, Philly PA   April 8th, 2008 10:54 am ET

Funny, but I thought it was expected that Hillary would win the nomination long before it started. This was supposed to be a walk in the park for Hillary. The nomination was to be decided by Super Tuesday. The idea or talk of a comeback was never in the mix because she was the heavy favorite. Then, some guy name Barack Obama spolied the party with a different outcome. Sorry Hillary, but Obama knows how to play defense with little time remaining.

patty   April 8th, 2008 10:54 am ET

I am an Obama supporter and I agree that the super delegates should vote according to their conscience and based on who is more electable in November. They should not blindly vote based on who wins most pledged delegates.

The reason we have Primary elections is to determine electability in November so guess what, Obama is proving that he is electable, which he has done against Ms. Clinton who was the presumptive nominee up until January. Hillary is the one who is unelectable. She couldn’t even win the primaries, how can she win the General Elections. Besides she has the highest disapproval rating of any candidate. 45% of the electorate will never vote for HRC. So she only has a 55% electorate to work with. Both Obama and McCain have disapproval ratings of 26% and 27% respectively. Go figure who is more electable.

Democratic nomination was Hillary's to lose and she is losing it. How can anyone argue that she is more electable in Nov when she screwed up the primaries. It takes strategy and smarts to win elections... different strategies for primaries and general elections. Hillary has failed in the first test, and is now asking us to trust us with a bigger test in November. Obama is a once in a life time candidate who is winning against odds. And those of you who are calling him racist, you really belong in the other party, please vote for McCain whoever the democratic nominee is. I am an Obama supporter but will vote for Clinton, if she is our nominee.

TOM ALBO

Bosnian Sniper   April 8th, 2008 10:52 am ET

Can we please be clear once and for all on this tiresome claim that HRC is an underdog.

Of all the Deomocratic candidates when this campaign started, she was the overwhelming favorite. She had the greatest national name-recognition. She had the most pre-committed superdelegate-count. She had the largest party-fundraising apparatus. And she had a former President who, among Democrats anyway, was among the most beloved political figures in the country.

The analogies to Rocky, the Kansas Jayhawks, the '07 NY Giants, etc. are completely reversed.

The proper analogy for HRC is the IBM of the 80s/90s – a large corporation that got lazy in its success and was overtaken by upstarts.

Or it is cocky Apollo Creed, not upstart Rocky Balboa.

Or it is the '07 UNC team – starting with a terrible strategy only to be blown out in the early going only to make an ultimately insufficient comeback before fading from sight.

Or it is the hare in the tortoise and the hare children's story.

Anyone who waltzes in and PUBLICALLY declares that the nomination will be wrapped up by Feb 5, that focuses on only a few large states because she is overconfident that all others will eitehr fall in line or be insignificant in their opposition to her candidacy, and that – from the beginning – purposefully puts out a rather smug aura of inevitability to her campaign very much deserves to lose.

And as such people lose, they should reflect on how their own complicity in their defeat. Since Bill Clinton won the Governorship of Arkansas and certainly since he won the Presidency, neither he nor HRC has ever rightfully born the mantle of "upstart", "underdog", "Washington outsider", or any other such nonsense. They are THE ESTABLISHMENT of the Dem party and they are losing because the party is changing direction, identity, and style. Being too late to realize this, they were unable to capitilize on it and in fact lead it...instead, they are being steamrolled into relative insignificance by it.

JM, OH   April 8th, 2008 10:52 am ET

When the Giants won the Superbowl, she compared herself to the Giants. Now she compares herself to the Jayhawks after they win. This is getting a little bit pathetic, isn't it? Has anyone noticed that she only picks a team after they win? At least Obama had the guts to pick a team before the game.

Zia   April 8th, 2008 10:51 am ET

For people who question Obama’s experience: Obama does not have a long list of accomplishments, just like HRC, who too has virtually no accomplishments... This is why Governors tend to do better in general elections, because they have real executive experience. And for us Obama feelgoods, it is comforting to know that he has about the same amount or experience as Abraham Lincon did when he became the US president, but he also had a vision just like Obama has but HRC does not. With Clinton and McCain it will be politics as usual in DC, but with Obama, hopefully, we will have a change in the form of reconciliation, domestically as well as internationally. Hope I was helpful…

Creative Woody   April 8th, 2008 10:51 am ET

Yes, Hillary, your campaign is just like the NCAA Final Four. Except your team was out by the Elite 8 and you're trying to get them into the finals based on the fact that they made more 3-pointers than Obama's team.

DM Arlington, TX   April 8th, 2008 10:51 am ET

CNN is Protecting Hillary Clinton with lies coverup:

When the Rev. William Procanick put his hand on the Bible during his sex-abuse trial in Oneida County Court earlier this year, he swore to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

But as the former Clinton pastor was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl at his home last March, Judge Michael L. Dwyer said Procanick sacrificed his honesty the day he testified.

“As A jury found Procanick guilty Jan. 22 of first-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.

Tim - PA   April 8th, 2008 10:51 am ET

I was leaning Hillary but not anymore. I think funding for breast cancer research is great but she made no such suggestion for prostate cancer with men, which is a major medical issue for men wit recommended screenings just as wit breast cancer. This makes me think she is a sexist and more about women than all of the people.

April in Texas   April 8th, 2008 10:50 am ET

Hillary this isnt a game or sporting even nor is it a movie or whatever else you plan to compare it to. Lets see just recently you have been a bowler and Rocky and Paulette Revere. You have dodged sniper fire and now you are dodging the realization that you can not mathmatically win this election, at best you can steal the nomination.
This does not mean that you will win in the general. Currently you are just trying to destroy the democratic party and millions of youths that for once in their lifetime are excited you are destroying thier dreams and a better future. Shame on you Hilary!

Obama 08

Brad   April 8th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Go Hillary were behind you 100 percent . Obama – bots just know you will bring out the truth about this lame duck want a be. Al;l talk and no substance, just like his speeches. Your poll numbers are are great and just shows he can and will lose. Just keep on campaigning on the facts and let Borock just keep on mocking you on his. People see who will be the best candidate and it won't be BOROCK. Go Hillary

Nelson Colorado Springs, Co   April 8th, 2008 10:48 am ET

How can Sen clinton say she is the come back kid. When she was a head from the start. Go Obama

Teddy   April 8th, 2008 10:47 am ET

This is what makes her look bad. She is truly destroying the “Clinton” legacy. Cheap remarks like this will not get her any additional votes. Who in their right mind would vote for her because she compared her self to Kansas? This woman is sick you guys. She really needs help.

Secondly, in her speak in Montana she stated she is glad they are making the decision. She also stated their vote would be very important. Isn’t her camp who is always saying the small states don’t matter?

This woman and her camp have done nothing but constantly talk out the side of their necks. They will say anything to give her what appears to be an advantage. The Democrats and super-delegates need to bring this to an end soon before they hurt the presumptive nominee, Barack Obama!!!

I honestly feel she is doing this because she doesn’t want him to win in November. This is not about America for her, this is about her and Bill. She would rather Barack lose, because he has beat her for the nomination.

As a Republican, I am glad to be an “Obamacan”. He will get us back on track for the next 8 years.

Obama ‘08

Joanne   April 8th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Hey, the Ohio story is true. Just not at that hospital. The sheriff, not Hillary, got the facts mixed up.

Hey, it wasn't even a real bowling ball, watch the show. Just goes to show she is a great sport!

Pa. voters, beware, he is saying what he thinks you want to hear. Has he told you yet he is all for your right to own a gun? NOT TRUE, check out his stance on that. Obama insults the intelligence of the american people on a daily basis and there are some who swallow it whole; hook, line and sinker.

HILLARY 08

Jim   April 8th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Clinton....did you know that BOTH TEAMS were ranked #1? "My kind of outcome." Anything good is "your kind of outcome."

ROCKY LOST and you want to be ROCKY....

Dennis   April 8th, 2008 10:47 am ET

First, she identified with the New York Giants, now the Kansas Jayhawks. Next comes the NHL and NBA playoffs, so I'm sure she'll be making a weak comparison to the champions of those leagues as well when the time comes.

Right now, her supporters want to brag about how she is doing better in Pennsylvania despite being outspent there (by ever increasing ratios according to those supporters). What they don't want you to pay attention to is how little support she is actually getting. Make no mistake, she would match Obama dollar-for-dollar if she had the money. She'd love to. After having a 20 point lead (what a month, 2 months ago?), her lead is down to five or six points in Pennsylvania.

I don't believe for a second that Penn would have resigned from Clinton's team if he hadn't been caught. Everyone likes to point out perceived deficiencies in the people Obama surrounds himself, but they then neglect to take Clinton to task for her advisors.

JC, Orlando   April 8th, 2008 10:47 am ET

SAD! SAD! SAD! Hillary Clinton is not showing signs of a strong president. She compares for herself to everything but the truth. She gone MAD!

Felly   April 8th, 2008 10:46 am ET

Mark Penn isn’t the only Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter on the wrong side of the Colombia trade agreement.

The Democratic-leaning advocacy firm the Glover Park Group, former home to Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson, signed a $40,000 per month contract with the government of Colombia in April of 2007 to promote the very agreement that Clinton now rails against on the presidential campaign trail.

Marina   April 8th, 2008 10:46 am ET

Why the Clintons like to LIE so much – a lying tongue is an abomination unto the Lord.... Hillary has a lying spirit in her mouth and just cannot tell the truth even if it bites her in the ****.

Brad   April 8th, 2008 10:45 am ET

The Clintons have no outcome.

Dan Bennett   April 8th, 2008 10:45 am ET

I think CNN should find a better picture of Sen. Clinton, and discard the "Bitter Beer Face" photo they're going with now. It's just not appealing.

hillbilly   April 8th, 2008 10:45 am ET

DONT BE SO STUPID

Allison R.   April 8th, 2008 10:45 am ET

Except that Kansas didn't have to cheat to win. They got their points fair and square. Now, if they got points that were actually scored by Memphis because those points weren't actually 'pledged', or if they were able to buy their points, or if they got more points for baskets because they felt as though their shots were more important–then of course Hillary is just like them...

KiloWhiskey - Denver   April 8th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Jan....FYI: Hillary is also a "junior" senator. Please learn what the term means.

The Clinton campaign is quite adept at changing their whole world view – now Hillary is the "underdog". From Queen-select to underdog in just 3 months – amazing!

One special interest group against another – no unity in the dem party, only blood. Go for it guys!

Chuck   April 8th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Even if somehow she manage to get the nomination (which I seriously doubt) she will not win the presidency. So, anybody but McCain keep feeding false hope into all these Clinton flunkies on here. If she is the nominee, I gaurantee it will be McCain for president.

Dude   April 8th, 2008 10:43 am ET

So PA will go for Clinton even though Barack is "outspending her
5-1." Ever wonder why Obama has been able to raise more money? not had such high turnover within his staff? not gone into huge debt? has the tightest organziation of the three candidates concerning his campaign manamgement? Yeah, he's all talk (insert sarcasm!), thats why his campaign runs circles around the others.

Gail   April 8th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Can't anything be posted in favor of Hillary? CNN sitting and picking out all the griping Obama supporters?

Mary   April 8th, 2008 10:43 am ET

You think she really watched the game?

Here is the answer:
Did she really read the documents that lead to her vote to agree with Bush to go war with Iraq?

Answer is, NO she did NOT read the documents!!!

We need a leader that does not lie like Hillary did about Bosnia!!!

NoBodybeleivesyouHillaryEvil   April 8th, 2008 10:40 am ET

I just hope Obama gives her a knock out punch. I am sick and tired seeing this evil woman. Also it would be nice to shut Wolf Blizer mouth once and for all he making america sick. What I do not understand is this guy get paid for what he does, CNN shame on you for letting Wolf Plizer and Lou Dobbs work for you. There is a lot of talented young reporter out there People need change. IF you do not understand what people need you will go down.

Ron, TX   April 8th, 2008 10:40 am ET

Oh my god! How many people called this? Everyone I know was joking around saying "I bet you Hillary's going to release her brackets after the finals are over!"

And it happened.

Hillary-ous!

jeff from Geneva   April 8th, 2008 10:39 am ET

I love how somebody brings up how Obama is a junior senator. Check Hilary's credentials, she is a junior senator as well. Who has held an elected office longer? Obama..Who held the lofty voted position of first lady? HRC

If its an experience battle McCain wins and the country is doomed.

Obama 08!

Spirit of America   April 8th, 2008 10:39 am ET

The overtime comeback victory for the Jayhawks over the Tigers is good, but a better comparison would be with Seabiscuit.

In November 1938 Seabiscuit ran againt War Admiral and won. 70 years later, that great American race will be repeated with Seabiscuit-Clinton in the race of the century against War Admiral-McCain. History will repeat itself and the better horse (hillary) will win.

Obama, who chose NC to win the national championship, should drop out of the race since he hasn't a chance against War Admiral.

Grant   April 8th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Here we go once again, another day, another speach from the Clintons justifying to the people why they should still be in the race....hardy the confident commander in chief....sadly though, she will win this thing in the end and we will be asking in 10 years time, whatever happened to that Barrack Obama guy, wonder what he is doing now? The Clintons want this,and they get what they want...have to admire them for that, it is the American Dream afterall

Matt NY   April 8th, 2008 10:37 am ET

A better analogy would be Obama was and continues to be the underdog.

Hillary was supposed to be crowned after super Tuesday... well i guess nobody copied barack on the memo.

Hillary is Memphis, Obama is Kansas, and Pennsylvania is the NCAA Tourny. Hillary had the lead till 2.1 seconds to go until Obama hit a game winning three point shot and now he will be the champion.

Odi   April 8th, 2008 10:36 am ET

Yeah Hillary it was good game but Obama is clutch and can hit his free throws in the sense he will finish the primary season with wins.

It is insulting that the first woman candidate for President is just like Bill in a pantsuit. She is a pathological liar. Women deserve a better example.

Ben Gabson   April 8th, 2008 10:33 am ET

It's amazing how Hillary the inevitable nominee became the underdog in this race. Has every one else been following the same nomination process she's describing? It's either we are, collectively, unable to believe our lying eyes or she's delusional.

stay in the race hillary, here in PA we are on the empty suit, change mantra. you will win PA even though he outspends you 5-1. you offer soulutions, not promises of "change".

Jan   April 8th, 2008 10:31 am ET

I hope the labor unions are not blinded by all the "YES WE CAN"
speeches, and realize who can stand behind them best. Remember
Obama is ONLY A JUNIOR SENATOR" not much experience to lead a
country.

He keeps saying I WAS AGAINST THE WAR FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, but people he could vote for or against the war, he wasen't in any top official meeting concerning the war, who knows
how he would have voted. He did however vote with Bush for more
money for the war.

BEWARE of OBAMA

Wise Dem.   April 8th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Actually, Obama was the underdog in this primary. Clinton had the name recognition, political connections, war chest, and a 25-point lead in almost every state. David vs. Goaliath. And yet, he's beating her and has almost pulled off one of the most shocking political upsets in recent memory!

Anybody but McCain   April 8th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Clinton all the way to the Whitehouse is all I can say to this lackluster bunch of Obama Goonies who can no longer think for themselves. Political lobotomies is a new undiagnosed disease of the American Democratic Party.
Do it Hillary! Prove these fools wrong! Keep going! Make the nomination! Don't ever stop pushing!
