Well if thats what CNN says it must be the truth.

Voters better wake up to the fact that Obama is a fraud.
He was invented by his campaign team, he is a total fraud.

I guess people in this country think old Barack is going to single handedly change the way DC has been doing business for a 100 years.

Get real, these senators and reps have forgot more about how DC works than this guy will figure out in 4 years.
Or, he's a bull shucker and will do things like every other president has had to do since we started all this.

You might not like Clinton's style, but she can go toe to toe with crowd

Polls are all over the map and really mean very little. However, I think that in this lull before the Pennsylvania election everyone is beginning to realize that HRC can't and shouldn't win this nomination. I mean, we all got caught up in the idea of returning to the economic prosperity of the 1990's, but we're now realizing that Bill didn't create the .com universe (or the .com bubble). He was just there riding the wave like the rest of us. He did have a role in NAFTA and a lot of the financial industry deregulation, two things that have come back to bite us hard. We see now that Hillary's no world beater, she's just a politician like so many other career politicians. So the gloss is gone and her support is drying up.

If Obama wins the nomination, the nation is the loser for it.

Obama is a slick politician and a spinner of words. Who divides people as he gloats about being a unifier.

Obama resorts to old style politics- including out-of-control spending on his campaign- while claiming to be a new type of politician.

Clinton is a doer. She is plain and simple. No drama, speeches and no 1930s style inspiration of disilusioned young people, like we had in Germany and Italy.

Be careful of politicians with cult followings.

This is just for information on Mrs. Clinton and her stand on China and the human rights issue. It was Bill Clinton that removed this from the free trade agreement with China during his term as President. I also find it interesting that Hillary has never taken any responsibility for her vote for the war in Iraq but now states she is the only candidate that will bring our troops home. Voting her in would be the second biggest mistake – Bush being the first- that we as voters would be making.

From what I have heard, it seems like Obama is positioned to win in North Carolina and Oregon, while Clinton's best chance is in Pennsylvania... I don't at all trust these poll numbers, but say Obama wins in Penn in addition to the others, do you think Hillary will drop out?

Clinton is still the most qualified and the best candidate for the job.

I guess Obama's money talks.

Funny, but if Clinton was outraising and outspending all the other candidates, she would be criticicized for it- the scary Clinton Machine.

But since it is Obama wasting millions on a campaign, while people are starving and losing their homes- it has been redefined as a POSITIVE thing.

HE talks about public financing and caps and yet Obama is setting records for wastefulness

I am def an Obama supporter, but these stories are very misleading. Obama has stayed at 43 percent and actually now has dropped to 42 percent. Yes Clinton's percentage has dropped but it does not mean those lost percentage points moved over to the Obama bucket. He's still at 42%. Those 12% undecided could still vote Clinton or vote undecided. Lets wait to had over the crown (remember NH)

Good Luck Obama in PN!!!!

Obama keeps on yapping about the fact that he opposed the war from the very beginning. Well, he never voted against it.

Also, Not being able to make comment on Lanny Davis' questions about Obama and the Rev Wright because the "add comments" was again closed quickly,

I have to say that I agree with Mr. Davis. Obama to this point still has not given a satisfactory answer as to why he continued to be a member of the church and why he rewarded Rev Wright with a position in his campaign.

I am convinced that Obama does not think the way Rev Wright thinks but why did he support him and not quit.

This is the essence of why I cannot vote for this man (Obama)!!!!!!
It completely baffles me as to why his supporters don't get it!!!

This is a very serious and important issue of Obama's Credibility and JUDGEMENT!!! Why do his supporters think that this issue (Rev Wright) is not important are they blind??

When Obama wins PA, and he will, they'll make it just about how much money he's spent instead of his superior judgment, people and management skills, and general "goodness". Paradoxically, it takes the money to do that when you're not as well known. What is telling, however, is that people are hearing and believing the message. Believing it, because it's honest.

You Obama supporters who so badly want a "first African American President" should have gotten a better pick for all of us to vote for. How can one in all good conscience vote for a man who cannot possibly deliver any of change that he has been advocating and does not spell out clearly just what he would change, has no experience, and keeps company with unsavory people and tells lies of his own. Not to mention we are really sick of your nasty remarks and will show just how we feel in the general election.

Give us someone like Rice (first African American women) to vote for – or Powell, but Obama (who we really do not know who he really is)and his unpatriotic wife – please.

If not Hillary then John McCain.

Being from PA, I have noticed that trend myself. Ever since PA became the center of attention, and people actually started learning more about Clinton, they haven't liked what they have seen. Clinton is actually getting so worried, that she launched an ad that has nothing to do with politics, but it's only goal is to convince voters that she's the "hometown" girl.

12 percent unsure....give her about 9 points from that....seeing that MOST last minute deciders go for HILLARY.......I CAN'T wait for April 22, about 10 minutes after the polls close....when the AP callls PA for Hillary and you all sit and question yourselves again....:)
You need to add in to your POLL OF POLLS the 10 point lead and the 18 point lead in the two polls you've chosen to ignore......Do you think we can't just go check the polls ourselves????? Really makes you look desperate to find fault with her.....
Not once have you shown any of the recent polls that have her double digits ahead in PA……WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???? best political team my butt…….where's the poll that show your precious BO down to 10 in NC??????
Isn't it funny that we all live in an age where one news station can't influence everyone? We all can go find the polls ourselves, do our own research….it really makes you guys look so bad, really….we find the truth, then realize you in the media are incapable of reporting the truth….then we make up our own minds based on the facts… it's actually quite refreshing….I love finding out how much bias you all have…..

The people in PA can see what is going on. The latest debacle (Colombia) shows that while Hillary says she is against the Trade deal with that Country, her husband has taken in almost a MILLION dollars FROM that Country for being for the deal.
It's time that this process is over. Her 20+ point lead has evaporated in PA and she will lose NC by a very wide margin.

Here we go. Obama is catching her slowly. The lead which she got in PA is because of the institutional support which she has. Once the people of PA know Obama better, he will have greater chance even to win her. PA is tiered of Clintorns' lie. I can't finish by counting all lies we heard up to this point. We are sick of such old politics. We need change. Go forward Obama.

To me this clearly shows that the momentum exists with Obama. If Hillary can not win Pennsylvania with more than 10% of the vote, she most definately should withdraw. Thats even if she can win at all.

CNN, I know you're doing your best to make this sound like a close race, but the poll numbers from other agencies just don't reflect that. Rasmussen has her up by 5; Quinnipac has her up by 6; InsiderAdvantage has her up by 10; PPP has her up by 3; Survey USA has her up by 18; Strategic Vision has her up by 5; and Time has her up by 8.

It's still a huge drop for her, and will prevent her from getting the delegates she so desparately needs to remain viable, but it's not THAT close in Pennsylvania.

I am a Barack Obama supporter. I expect Hillary to win Penn. I also expect that the goal post will move again for Hillary Clinton. She is suppose to win this state by 15%+. Lets see how they spin it. Lets not let her get away with the same thing. She was up by 20% in Texas. Ended up winning the popular vote by 4%, but lost the delegate and caucus. But she walked away as the big winner....SPIN MASTER!!! OBAMA 08.
