HRC will milk this bitter cow as long as she can to keep her multitude of gaffs out of the headlines. Unfortunately I believe the public has become more then wise to her tricks as transparent as they are. It doesn't help that the media hoarde aids and abets her efforts.

You have got to be crazy to beleave what ever Obama says like he realy says anything or truly stands for anything. all he claims he is going to do is give hope well we need more then hope we need action and doers not talkers

Hey Sharon, I guess you don't understand that the CNN number is an average of all the polls taken. Of the polls considere, SurveyUSA being one of them MOST of the polls have Hillary with a ONE digit lead, most do not have her leading by two digits—

Gieven the fact she's a liar and can't run a sucessul campaign without constant in-fightintg and is constantly late in paying health insurance for her employees— I guess you think this country doesn't need a leader who can lead successfully!!!

ARG Polling is notoriously "off" and that is why they are not included in the poll of pools on realclearpolitics. SUCK IT sharon and shut up pleeeeeeeeaase.

PA…….We all know that these 2 candidates are very similar when it comes to policies. So it comes down to 2 issues…1. Integrity and in this case 2. Inevitability. If you honestly feel Hillary has more integrity than Barack than by all means vote for her. I for one can not see that for the life of me. Secondly, Barack will be the nominee of the party..Hillary cannot with this process based on the numbers. I'm asking you to end this process so we can get on with beating McCain by a landslide in Nov.

so if Obama is so great why can he close the deal… Why Hillary does better in the states that really matters and can get us the Whitehouse. Your words of hate are not helping mam… Stop the HATE in case Obama is able to pull this he is going to need all of us and some…

At the start of this campaign I was going to vote for Hillary, but her truly disgusting behavior makes me think she's secretly a Republican. If she manages to steal this nomination from Obama I'm going to vote for McCain because at least he doesn't lie constantly.

deborah - so you think she hasn't used personal attacks on him? it's a two way street so if you're against it hold them both to the same standards….and I'm a woman that is supporting Obama am I sexist? no I'm not I just chose to support someone I think is better plan wise. I also think Sen. Clinton said something that the media ignored that insulted men…."real men are for Hillary"? talk about media bias here.

The media had a void to fill and they jumped on the bandwagon to make the "bitter" comments as big as they could. Maybe the American people are finally seeing that the media will use any blurb that comes along and ride it until the horse dies. If the blurb was as disastrous as the media thought, there should be a fifty point spread. The pundits were wrong, again!

marc - you seem really bitter - get help.

If the big fallout over his "bitter" comments is going from 4 points down to 6 points down, then Barack is doing pretty well for himself.

Obama '08

Looks like the politican have got us right where they want us — not talking about the issues. The good old "experience and lobbyist connect" politicans have given you some emotional issue to get distracted about while they

1. Give your tax money to companies to ship your job out of the country.

2. Borrow more from China to spend in Iraq. China get more interest payments. Select contractors get more money in Iraq. American people get to bury its soliders.

3. Reduce our manufacturing capacity and making free trade a super highway of increasing corporate profits.

In this age of amazing communication, how could we be so dumb!

»»Even a 5 year old kid KNOWS/UNDERSTANDS that the GREAT OBAMA is MUCH BETTER than Hillary "SO DULL!" Clinton.I am a John McCain loyal supporter but i also like the excellent Obama.Go OBAMA! NO MORE Clintons in the White House!! ENOUGH!!!

The ARG poll is crap, and everybody knows it. It looks good to some, but no other poll is reporting anything near that.

I live in "the Alabama of PA" and will support Obama in the primary. I am bitter about the way Washington works, and want change, not more lies and deceptive practices by the Clinton Machine.

Obama may have not made the best choice of words lately, but his sentiment was dead-on. Bill Clinton is seeing people holding signs that don't exist now. These are the people you want representing our country?

Come on, PA!! Think. Research. Vote. Let's end this destructive charade right here next week. Send the Clintons home. Obama '08

Take a good note here people. Hillary Clinton will stop at nothing to get her agenda in place. Do you really think she will give a hoot about you if she wins the nomination?

Hasn't she proven over and over that she will say whatever it takes to win this nomination?

NAFTA
BOSNIA
N. IRELAND

She is NOT in touch with average Americans. That 109 million dollars should be total proof of that. She will relate with you until she wins the nomination, after that, all of you will be no better than Peter F. Paul.

Everyone needs to see the big picture, Obama isn't just the best choice for PA and America, but for the rest of the world. I travel the globe and the message is the same from everyone I speak with. Obama's commitment to open dialogue with all world leaders will regain the level of respect that the people of America deserve. If Hillary is elected the world will see us as weak minded and gullable. (By the way, rarely does anyone speak of "Mc-Who?").

Obama may be guilty of using poor words regarding the people of PA, but his message was accurate. He has never been caught flip flopping, or blatantly lying. Can Hillary supporters say the same about her?

The people of PA need to do their homework so that they can see that Hillary's "experience" with NAFTA has eliminated tens of thousands of jobs in their state. Please don't believe her message, because it changes everytime she is in front of a new group of voters. She is hungry for the power that she got a taste of in the 90's and will do anything to get it back (Bill is even hungrier). Her campaign has consisted of lies, bankruptcy, turnover, and corruption–this is the same trend we see if we follow her political roots all the way back to Arkansas. Please PA, do the rest of the country a favor and vote her out. I am from Iowa, we had to make a decision months ago and we are proud it. My message, especially to those of you in PA that are undecided–do your homework, read through the lines (and lies), and make the right choice–the world is depending on you!

Obama 08′

this just shows that not all people are falling for this mess or getting their panties in a bunch over someone misspeaking, especially when there's no argument that that person is more "normal" than the otehr two candidates ….. much to Lou Dobb's dismay im sure…. he is really starting to look more and more like a hypocrite.

I realize everyone blogging has already made up their mind, but I humbly ask Clinton supporters to evaluate who really has been in support of NAFTA her entire political career beginning when she was a cheerleader for it when she was First Lady.
The Bosnia incident was pure fabrication. When you are really under sniper fire, you don't forget it.
Her attacks on Obama are desperate efforts to attract Super Delegates and mislead the voters of Pa and the country.
Please, Pennsylvania, vote for Obama and bring this long, hate-filled primary campaign to a close! Only you have that power.

It is clear to many of us that this pathetic attempt on the part of Mrs. Clinton to gain some points is just another shot of desperation. She has no clear message that is resonating with the voters of PA and she will stop at nothing to bring Obama down. He has been cutting into her base again and again with his straight talk on the issues, but Hillary and Mr. McCain have been too busy creating side shows to distract people away from the fact that Barack is right on the money. Wouldn't you rather have people tell you the truth about what you need to hear than to lie to you about what they think you want to hear. The media has been feeding this controversy by plastering their catch phrases "Obama insults small town America" instead of defending the fact that he is tell the truth about some peoples' attitude in this country. Many people are bitter at the government for various reasons, to deny this is an insult to our intelligence. The real issue still remains that Barack knows how to relate to people on every level of America and he doesn't have to be deceitful or two-faced to do so. It is a shame that every time he says something useful people try to parce his words into something they are not. Shame on the other two clueless candidates who are really out of touch with America and shame on the media outlets who perpetrate tabloid sensationalism for journalism.

Why has CNN failed to site the other poll results? Specifically, the Rasmussen and SurveyUSA polls that show Clinton with a 9 point and 14 point lead respectively. Check it out at realclearpolitics.com.

Everyone knows even if she wins in PA. she's still behind in delegates
Or did you forget that minor detail?

Barack was correct when he said that I'm Bitter!! it's a true statement I do turn to my faith, I do blame immigrants that have taken my job and make sure that I can't get higher pay., people do cling to guns to survive when they have no choice.

The point is this the TRUTH HURTS!! alot of people if they were to dig deep know it's true whether you are in a small town or large town all is true we are BITTER and PISSED OFF!!.

Hillary is trying to drain this for all it's worth but not understanding it's an excercise in futility because this legacy was specifically ordained for Obama. It is his time!

Go Dems 08′

She actually holds a 20 point lead, why don't we check USATODAY, they seem to be less biased when reporting the news.

HILLARY -PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

No doubt should she win by 6 points she will deem it as a tremendous victory and vindication of her strategy to fight on until the "bitter" end. Even though she started with a 20 point lead just a few weeks back.

Just as Gavin Newsom caused the death of Democratic "sure win" in 2004 by bringing gay marriage front and center in the middle of the campaign, Clinton will be looked back on having destroyed the 2008 "sure win".

I am the cottage at Lake Winola and Hillary never fired a gun here in her life. Think about that new story line of hers in context of her other misspeaking lately, which by the way comes from the British and is a synonym for lying.

Do the math she can't win. Unless her elitest party bosses annoit her or change the rules. Do you think that the millions of people that Obama has registered are going to support her? She throws Gore and Kerry under the bus. Just think the real reason WE lost in 2000 was Bill's actions. We should have won that in a walk.

Ex-Hillary Supporter says:

"I would not vote for this woman if she paid me."

Just wait, that might be her next "strategy"…..

Too little, too late.

night night, Annie Oakley.

OBAMA: THE LOGICAL CHOICE!
He is the only one that can take this country back to being the great nation it once was. Wake up, America! It's not about race; it's not about gender; it's not about geriatrics. It's about CHANGE!!!
A CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!!

OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 points, they can't be that upset if all she gets is two lousy points.

Wrong as usual, you people at cnn just never stop, I guess you've become part of the Obama lie. spinning for your candidate. Bill Shneider is so evident especially when he's questioned by Lou Dobbs about media bias. Bill are you in love with Obama

Funny how Her Royal Clintoness's campaign always is coordinated with the Republican attack machine.

Could it be they both support the same trade and other policies?

Could it be that Penn, her "demoted" top campaign strategist and McCain's top campaign strategist work together on the same issues fo rthe highest bidder (the same as Bill)?

»»Well said,Elvis.

Hey Deborah…did you forget about the time when Hillary stated on the stump about.."the clouds will part, choirs will be singing, angels will come down and the world will be perfect"..I think she was making fun of Obama…so if you think this is all one sided…think again…By the way…have you forgotten about Hillary's misspeak or lies..its ok for her to spew lies and make fun of Obama…but it's not ok for him to make a joke about her….give me a break…it's about time she gets some of her own medicine thrown in her face…..what comes around, goes around….destroying your opponent isn't going to work for her ANYMORE!!! only up by 6…ha ha ha..I think she is out of kitchen sinks!!!! nothing seems to work for her anymore because she can't pull the wool over our eyes anymore!!!!

Guess this story was her twists and turns she had spoken of… Sorry Hillary you still wont get my vote ever… I still gladly support Obama and will until the bitter end. If you manage to steal this election from him I will stay home.

Obama 08

Polling is such a funny thing and people should be careful not to read too much into them especially when you take a poll right after a political flare up. If the polticial flare up dies down even slightly, the polls could be way off.
Either way, winning PA would be nice for either candidate but the overall nomination is not won exclusive by PA; there are 49 other states to consider. If the math still holds up, then Obama will still be the front runner !!!

Obama's comment on bitterness was taken out of context by Clinton. We know what to expect from this woman if she is elected President. God help us all.

Going back to the Rove-style tactics is not the answer to 8 years of Bush. Clinton has demonstrated that she will do anything and go as low as necessary to get elected.

Think carefully - is that what you want in a President?

The point may be moot. Hillary wil still need to win by 75% in all the remaining primaries just to be in contention for the nomination. 6% ain't going to do it.

CNN Why is it that your polls are all over the place .Just like Ohio
you had Obama even with Clinton and other polls had her way ahead which she won double digits .Are you just wishing the polls are closer or what ?

HILLARY 2008!

»»Even a 5 year old kid KNOWS/UNDERSTANDS that the GREAT OBAMA is much BEEEEEEEETER than Hillary "SO DULL!" Clinton!! GO OBAMA!!!…I am a loyal John McCain supporter but i also like the Excellent Obama.NO MORE Clintons in the White House!!…ENOUGH!!!…Democratic Voters :-»»»VOTE OBAMA . Do NOT be FOOLED by that ANNOYING Clinton!!!

For all Democrats.

Go to Huffington Post and read, Frank Schaeffer's, Good News for Democrats. It is quite a lengthy read, but make absolutely sure that you get to the end of the article. You will get a pleasant surprise. Share this with your friends.

As for the accuracy of the polls, don't you see, by cherry-picking polls that show Hillary sliding, and then rebounding, the so-called media can shape the debate and impressions of how the campaign is going.

If you ignore the polls showing her doing quite well, and she turns out to do well, she can be once again proclaimed the "comeback kid", giving her false hope of a win. She might get the nomination, but it would be no win. It would be even more tainted than Bush's being adjudicated into the presidency even when losing the popular vote.

But I forget, the Clinton's are entitled to the nomination. To me that's elitist.

The Zogby poll is biased because he is a super delagate for OBAMA. His are tainted.

I have to laugh at these poll of polls CNN puts out. They have Obama leading her for the nominee and yet she is ahead of McCain in the general. This tells you that McCain will be our next President of the US. Good going CNN your biased for Obama is really paying off for the Democratic party thank you.

Hilary Clinton is a Republican and should not be able to particpate in anything democratic any longer it is a said day when you see a democrat try to give the nomination to the Republicans over a mistatement when we all understand and fell what he meant so Hilary Please Leave This Party if we lose in The general for some Bull that you started you or you husband will never bee in politic again

Go and get that " arrogant " little man. Clinton / McCain 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan MO

Please open your eye's…I mean c'mon, do you truly think Obama is a president who will slam the people…of all people, do you think he is not a candidate FOR the people, the ONE candidate who take's no money from special interests nor lobbiests…c'mon….

Be honest with yourself, don't be brainwashed by these same old political game's.

Hillary throw down the gauntlet! Up the ante - challenge Barack to either win his first "big state" (PA) or get out of the race. Offer to do the same should he win. Keep pressing for the FL amd MI votes to be counted - Barack quite apparantly didn't want a re-vote in those places as he knew he'd lose. Politics - the king of sports - you've got to love it!

Emma,

I like Obama, but I want the fighter. Or should I say, this country needs a fighter. Saying please willl not be enough to get things done.

I was offended by the Annie Oakley comment. It was sexist. The US has a serious SEXISM issue….race has not been as much of an issue as gender bias in the last decade, yet, I don't see Hillary giving "historic" speeches on gender relations. Obama is using his race….and it's sad.

Obama = phony

On an aside, I typed in "phony" into answers.com and this was the first thing that popped up. Pretty funny.

The Real Barack Obama
The truth behind the canditate - "Barack Obama Exposed" - Free!

Hillary is back stabing witch with the devil for a soul. She will take our guns from us . She hunted my a.. . She is a Republican , she is in this race only for one thing because she wants to rape us all in this Country . Her and Bill why wont they release who donated to the Clinton Library , because all the money came from China , Dubai , and the Saudies. Get real people.Look at the facts.

Yesterday a poll had Clinton up by 20 points. Today she's up by 6.
What does this mean? That these polls are useless.

The polls were wrong in TX and OH anyway, so why even bother looking at them? They are all over the place, change way too often, and aren't accurate. I'm sure 95% of people know who they are going to vote for, and I'm sure 95% of those people won't change their minds based on another silly argument between the two candidates about how the other misspoke on some unrelated topic.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric-PA- Lydia was referring to Clinton's original lead in PA- which was 20 something points.

Obama has closed the gap- no opinion in that fact.

I am sure Penn people are smarter then Hillary thinks and are not going to fall for her manipulation.Vote for once in a lifetime leader Sen. Barack Obama.

Vote Obama 08

carolflowery

Watching these dems infight day in and day out has convinced me whoever wins they cannot as a party make a decision or play nice. So……I'm with you.

btw, in between shots of whiskey, basketball, blah, blah, blah are these guys ever going to give us a clear perspective on how they intend to recover our economy? If they have I missed it in the cloud of constant childish disputes.

"Neither of em 08″

She will win this, she has the most experience! We need experience not a greenhorn!

CNN polls aren't even accurate, she's up by double digits on the other polls!!!

Hillary is throwing rocks and hoping they hit something.

His comment is no worse than, clinton claimming she was under fire in bosnia. she calls it a mistake, well, lets see her apoligize for her mistake, and ask for forgivness. NOTE: I plan on voting for HER!

Clinton will likely win the nomination and it will be a battle between her and McCain because this country does not appear to be ready for anything new, too scared to acknowledge the truth about the problems facing it as a nation and a member of international community. I suspect that all the inspired voters will go back to being apathetic before November.

so if Obama is so great why can he close the deal… Why Hillary does better in the states that really matters and can get us the Whitehouse. Your words of hate are not helping mam… Stop the HATE in case Obama is able to pull this he is going to need all of us and some…

Agree Daniel. Sure people get bitter. This is reality and anyone who says they don't is deceiving themselves. Wake up Pennsylvania. Don't let her twisted words manipulate the truth.

6% …. Considering that her lead was well over 25% and she claimed victory already weeks ago ? I guess she will be selling that as an 'upset' and a 'landslide' .

I hope the media will not follow her change-the-tune agenda like it did in Ohio and Texas … her supposed 'landslide' was a joke. She actually LOST Texas by delegates .. and delegates matter.

This is not just one comment: this is a clear pattern of arrogance and condescension. Obama was only a 2 year Senator when he felt, without any foreign policy or economic experience, that he was ready to be president. He overreached due to his arrogance, and now it has gotten him into trouble again. Pride goeth before the fall. I favored many of the other candidates over Obama, because his haughtiness and patronizing attitude turned me off from the start. Coupled with his lack of experience and hypocrisy in using negative tactics, but playing victim and constantly accusing Clinton's team of "old politics," has confirmed my instincts. The NY Times did a story a while back, interviewing old and new colleagues, and the one characteristic they all pointed to was his ambition and lack of work ethic. He complains about Hillary's sense of entitlement, but who could be more entitled than a first term Senator with so slim a record? His own self-satisfaction has betrayed him and we now see who he is. It also fits with the Rev. Wright issues of bigotry and anti-American sentiment.

She reminds me of a flying insect that, although everyone in the house is armed with a flyswatter, we have not yet been able to swat down. She'll land on the food and contaminate it, land on your skin and irritate it, but she's been quick enough to avoid getting smacked flat to date.

Go Hillary ..you go girl.

All you obama freaks are just that "freaks" all you do is slander Hillary with no real facts to back it up, just emotions.

Get real, Obama has some major problems that make him unaccpetable for the President. Issues like, Racism, lack of Foriegn policy experience, religous beliefs, Anyone that would let his children attend a church with a minister that hates America, American that are not black, does not desereve to lead this country.

Hillary 08

Totally and utterly disgusting!! I'm from Indiana and heck yes, you bet I'm bitter!! Hillary……..please just go!

Not only are the folks smart in Pennsylvania, so is Governor Rendell. He's now playing down the "bitter" brouhaha. CYA Gov.

Polling results hardly seems a coup for Clinton overall not only in Pennsylvania but across the nation. Her top of mind awareness is many years in the making and Obama's in barely a few years in the making. This is one of those times when some "spare me the facts I have my mind up" dominates the voter mentality. The news media are equally remiss but what else is "news?" If Clinton were the "one," the primary would have ended on Super Tuesday. It did not. She is not the "one."

Only 6 points eh? Duh, this is bad news for Clinton. Go Obama, you will win this thing yet.

WOW never thought I say this, But McCain is looking better every time the Democrats open thier mouth. Also I didn't realize that the Democarats have had control of the Senate and the Congress for the last two years. Why didn't they do something then????
LIsten to Lou Dobbs on CNN and learn the facts, I just did.

Thanks Lou…

It would be nice if Obama could talk specifics instead of rhetoric. And even his rhetoric is starting to backfire.

PS
I hope Barack will make a direct appeal to religious voters to join in common cause with the Democratic party.On his web site,there's a space devoted to "faith issues"Fine,but not enough. As my wife said when I purchased our engagement ring, "You have to ask.".Obama needs to plainly invite this bloc to join him.They're ripe. Increasingly,,they're in tune with Democratic issues.They're against torture.They want to end poverty and AIDS, Increasingly, they're against the war, Barack,,don't delay.

Pennsylvania…wake up! Don't let Hillary con her way to your delegates like she did here in Ohio. Your state has lost over 400,000 jobs thanks to NAFTA. She approved of it when it was conceived, and only started voicing her concerns about the treaty when she started her presidential campaign. She promised the state of NY more jobs, and not only have they not seen those jobs, but they have lost thousands more since she has been Senator. Check out her legislation record. The most important bill she authored was to have the Syracuse University LaCrosse team honored for a national title. she is currently embattled in a lawsuit for allegations of campaign funds mismanagement. She lied about Bosnia, she thinks lobbyist truly represent the views of the public, and she STILL has not released the part of her taxes that question the money Bill received from the government of Dubai. Google "The Family", and see what religious group she is infatuated with. She calims to be from aor to have grown up in or have ties in every state she campaigns in, and what exactly were we supposed to be laughing at when seh was on Jay Leno joking about sniper fire. She has divided this party with her sense of entitlement to the nomination, and she does not even care that she has ran down Obama, who in all likely hood will be the party's nominee. What type of person would divide the party for their personal gain. SHE DOES NOT CARE HOW SHE WINS…SHE JUST WNATS TO WIN!! She is blinded by the power of it all. Don't let her scam you. Don't let her continue to divide this country.

PA, just asking that you don't get "duped" like the people in Ohio.
By Hillary jumpin in on this controversy should wake some of you up and make you wonder why she would feel the need to pounce on someone in her own party.
Is it because she can't win soley on her own characteristics, acheivements, and behaviour? Remember, she is now telling the people of these rural areas how they feel, while at the same time, reinterpreting Obama's statements (saying, ooh he's talking down to you). She's also telling people he's an elitist???

Take at look at Peter paul vs. hillary. Google it. They media doesn't feel the need to cover it. Oh, and Gov Rendell is also somehow involved in this case. Mmmm. Interesting.

Is Hilary story shooting training real or its another profound imagination like the Bosnia story?

»»Democratic Voters ( on the remaining Primaries,Pennsylvania,Indiana,North Carolina,Oregon,etc… ) VOTE OBAMA!!…Hillary "SO ANNOYING!" Clinton is NOT good enough to be President!!…NO MORE Clintons in the White House!!! ENOUGH!!!!

So . . . What's the recent news? Hillary is a documented liar, repeatedly fabricating things. Her husband is even worse, being caught lying six times in one short statement. Bill Clinton blames Hillary's deceit on being too tired at 11:00 p.m. to think straight — for the candidate ready to field those 3:00 a.m. calls :-). She fires her top campaign person, showing again her inability to manage anything other than personal attacks. And she improves in the polls??? I have all sorts of confidence that the American people will figure out what's going on with this sorry excuse for a leader.

Polling results hardly seems a coup for Clinton overall not only in Pennsylvania bu across the nation. Her top of mind awareness is many years in the making and Obama's in barely a few years in the making. This is one of those times when some "spare me the facts I have my mind up" dominates the voter mentality. The news media are equally remiss but what else is "news?" If Clinton were the "one," the primary would have ended on Super Tuesday. It did not. She is not the "one."

6% …. THAT'S IT ????

Deborah, If Clinton went on a drinking bing carrying a gun. That is not only funny, but can be scary too if she gets bitter.

Rural America is really "bitter". I live in a small town in PA. I don't know why including the main stream media blows Obama's comment out of proportion. Go to diners and restaurants in small towns and ask the people. They are angry and bitter that their jobs were shipped to another country, gas price is high and don't have enough money for retirement. Every election Republicans took these folks for granted and asked them to vote on issues such as abortion, imigration and gay rights. Obama's comment was directed at GOP's core base. It will make a republican's job little harder in the November election.

Clintons earned more than 15 million according to their tax documents. poor obaba made 4 million that too by selling books. now clinton says Obama is an elitist. she was the first lady. she is an insider now she is saying obama is an elitist. I am tired of this woman.

I just listened to McCain's economic speech and I can't understand why anyone who makes under $500,000 a year would vote for him.

The man is so out of touch it took him four tries to come up with something. What this country doesn't need is another clueless Republican elitist in office.

I would not vote for this man if he paid me!
His campaign gets uglier by the day, my respect for him is zero.
He makes me ashamed to be a baby boomer.

NEVER OBAMA!

Senator Clinton was leading as high as 25 points 3 months ago. Now, Senator Obama has closed the gap to about 4 to 6 points. If not for the unprecedental "spin" on his words by CNN and other media outlets just to keep their own business afloat, Senator Obama would have been on top by now. It seems Senator Hillary Clinton would be out at the end of Pennsylvania as the numbers are not on her side. I, as a statistics (and mathematics) teaching experience of past 10 years tell me that Senator Obama is unbeatable in this primary season (whether people wary of math want to believ it or not). Its time for Democrats like Former President Carter, Former Vice President Al Gore and Chairman of DNC to step in to finish the infight and unite the party before it is a certain win for Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) as President.

The word bitter is appropriate, Hilliary is out of touch is she thinks her much ado about nothing is working. He spoke the truth, he didn;t lie, )sniping hilliary) know what I mean. You are good, very good at smearing a persons character to get votes. Stick with issues please and stop fragmenting the democratic party for your own selfish reasons.

Bitter? Clinging?
Now people are arguing about what word is wrong. The argument is wrong! The problem is not what word should not have been used, but that he showed fully that he is "old politics as usual." There is not a little bit of newness left on him.

Hillary was always slated to win in Pennsylvania, regardless of whether Obama campaigned, bowled, or misspoke. No news there.

I must stay that Hillary's tactics frighten me. I don't believe in winning by any means necessary. Given the stalemate, she may need to be second on Obama's ticket. I guess she figures it's all or nothing because she's definitely burning bridges behind her in her quest to take back the White House.

Lydia,

The 20 point lead was from the American Research Group and was released yesterday. The 6 point lead is a CNN averaged poll.

20 points ahead, 18 and 16 points AHEAD and has been since LAST WEEK…..nice try, though…..
GO HILLARY!!!!

I'm sure this will only encourage the Clinton campaign to use more divisive tactics to try to earn a few more votes to try to hold on to a modest lead in order to prolong this ordeal. She clearly has no regard for anything other than her own self interest. If she were to lost PA, the residents would suddenly find themselves dead to her, as have most other states where she's lost.

A shrill political opportunist who has totally failed to show qualities of leadership that are so desperately needed after 8 long years of an all but absentee president who may have been a self-proclaimed decider, but was surely no leader.

She shows NO regard for the voters (a majority of Democratic primary voters I might add) who have cast their vote for Obama. After all, the committed delegates aren't legally bound to vote for him.

Hypocritical to the last.

This is much ado about nothing. The Clintons are out of material. Obama was never predicted to win in PA — if he comes within 10 points everyone said that would be a symbolic win for him. The good people of this country are too smart for the Clinton antics. You better believe we're bitter — bitter about the last eight years, and bitter about how the Clintons are trying to destroy the Democratic party!

Obama '08

Why are people angry when they hear or read what is true? People all over America are bitter and frustrated with the way our government is running our nation, not just blue-collar workers either. Anyone in PA should be GLAD that someone is finally running for office that recognizes the bitterness and frustration. When people are bitter and frustrated they do lean on what makes them happy to get them through the day be it their religion, alcohol, or whatever. This is not new. Let Billary stick to the issue at hand and let's not forget the 200,000 jobs Billary promised if she was elected to the Senate and the last report showed 30,000 jobs CUTS. She talks about moral value when she is married to a man that cheated on her while in the White House with little to no regard to his family - and instead of slapping his butt with a divorce paper for all America to see that she is a strong woman she forgave him and stayed married…YUK. So don't go getting saint on Billary. We get to have her husband back in the White House. And no, I don't care that it happened years ago. The foundation of a man's spirt seldom changes.

If blue collar workers were thrown overboard by the Clinton and Bush administrations incentives for jobs and factories to move to Mexico and overseas to China (NOT TO CANADA), what life preserver should the laid off workers CLING to in order to save themselves. They could not count on the federal government of the last 20 years. At least Obama promises change.
Hillary "I mismatched my words with the facts again" Clinton only offers wedge issues and insults rather than solutions. Rather than solving health care and pharmacare crisis in the US (she need only follow Obama and note how Canada addressed this Medicare issue) , the situation in the US has been exacerbated over the last 20 year of Clinton and Bush administrations. Instead, Clinton offers wedge issues and insults and lies. What we need is NEW BLOOD and REAL CHANGE, Obama seems to keep his eye on the ball - working together to serve the public interest and not the special interest.
Clinton's record and her tax returns evidence that she is more interested in SELF-SERVICE RATHER THAN PUBLIC SERVICE.
In any event, Americans get the government they deserve. If you want more of the same, rather than CHANGE, vote for Clinton. If you believe that a change would do you good, take a look at Obama.

Mike

This is good news for hillary. She will actually win Pa by 12% and it will look like a landslide because people only expected a narrow victory. I believe she has the momentum now. I honestly believe Obama is unelectable in Nov. Between rev Wrong and bittergate, he is damaged goods to many white dems. If the primary season began today he would be hard pressed to win even a couple of states.

Fox and MSNBC are reporting BET Founder Bob Johnson Says Race a Factor in Obama’s Rise,
Another Senator Clinton supporter bashing Obama, why can't they run on the facts instead they choose to run a negative and trashy campaign. Personal attacks and misleading political ads, guess this is how she plans to unite the party.

She will have to pull another evil trick out of her bag!
Sorry Hillary- the people may not be as articulate as Barack, but are not as stupid as you may think !

Did you know that CNN polls have been off 9-12 points since the primaries began????
the media look more and more like fools everyday……guess we little people just can't go find the REAL POLLS ourselves….the polls that are actually ACURATE and have been since the primary has begun…

GO HILLARY!!!!

GO OBAMA. U R THE CHOICE

6 Points just isn't going to cut it. She needs a BIG win - at least 13-14 points - in order to claim any kind of victory. Obama will likely EXTEND his delegate lead if she can't win big in PA.

PA: Clinton 8 point victory = nets 12 delegates.
NC: Obama 14 point victory = nets 17 delegates.

And the remaining contest will roughly cancel each other out. So basically, it's over.

I guess the Cliton name has keep the contest going.
please people don't fall for this, do the right thing Hilliary is a liar

I think PA is wide awake, and they do realize just how silly Sen. Clinton looks continuously pushing the "Bitter" button. Even Ed Rendell, a long time Clinton puppet now says Sen. Obama is electable and could win PA. He's a smart man hedging his bets I'd say. I'm sure he was looking forward to a cabinet post under the Clinton administration which was no big secret to anyone, but wants to ensure he will have an Obama administration's support post November. Anyway, after next Tuesday Sen. Clinton will have a "Bitter" pill to swallow when she doesn't get a double digit win in PA.

GO HILLARY!!!!

haha her time is running out, but she keep wasting her time on "bitter" remark for nothing. What a waste of time for a campaign that is running out of time

I guess the Cliton name has keep the contest going.
please people don't fall for this, do the right thing Hilliary is a liar

I am a Republican, but given my choice of Democrats, I would definitely have to go with Hillary. Nothing against Obama, personally, but given the state of our economy, I would prefer that we don't have a "newbie" trying to lead the way. If Obama does get elected, it will be interesting to see if he lives up to his supporters' high expectations.

Surely the Good people of PA are not that naive and will end this please! Hillary Clinton has more faces that Eve. She was "Co-President" with her Husband but now that her Husband isn't so popular, she will be the ONLY President if elected. She herself said FL and MI votes weren't going to count then she is suddenly outraged that they are not going to be counted. She was all for NAFTA-read her book-until now when she needs the votes of all those workers who lost their jobs–she is completely against it. The fact that her Husband and Chief Strategist are completely pro-Columbia Fair trade presents not an ounce of conflict of interest, really!?? She has "home-town" roots in every state that she deems important. Now she is out at bars takings shots and throwing back brew–calling the other candidate who is from a single Mother and lived on food stamps an elitist –while she's counting her $100 million dollars. She insults my intelligence and has become so transparent it is sickening to watch!

Gosh! the Obama people are so far out in left field and I mean far out left liberal wing nuts they don't even know how to read these polls and what to look for. Obama's number in all these recent so called "poll of polls" has been 42 to 43 %and if he does not pick that number up and he winds up with that in the end, he loses 58 to 42%. That's 16% and a "blow out". Obama can not win the general election. He will lose all of the south and the border states, all the normal red states and Michigan for sure because his lawyers held up a revote, plus he will lose one or both Ohio and Pennsylvania. He might even lose California as they have a popular Republican Gov. and McCain has support in the hispanic community.

If that's the best she can do she has her work cut out for her in NC and beyond.

hillary will win. when is the dnc going to see this guy is unelectable.there is no way he can win in november against mccain. he can't even beat hillary in the big states. windbag obama keeps putting his foot in his mouth, every time he doesn't have a teleprompter in front of him.

What a pity that this absurd issue is taking up so much space and energy. Lets see…McCain wants the government to give up its profits for oil, but doesn't want to set a windfall tax on the oil monopolies, the economy keeps getting weaker by the day, violence is on an uptick in Iraq, the integrity of the Olympic Games is in question, but by all means, lets debate what the meaning of "bitter" is.. and whether that word indicates without any doubt that the one who utters it is elitist…PLEASE concentrate on something that has at least minimal significance to the electorate, so that just for a change a reasonable and thoughtful person has a chance of becoming president.
Dee

See…throat cutting your opponent does work Hillary!

Looking at this battle for the new socialist order between Obama and Clinton encourages me.

There seems to be more misery and bitterness among the Democrats—than all other Americans–even with the current economic situation and the war!!

What's Hillary going to cling to, I wonder, when she loses this primary? Her supporters sure sound BITTER over these poll numbers!

Look, if you're NOT a little bitter by what this government has done to you over the past 7 years, there's something wrong with you.

Unless you're an oil exec or a hedge fund manager, of course.

I can't wait to see the good people of PA making a choice between a candidate who identifies the problem of economic distress and a liar whose husband and strategist benefited from other governments. I can't to see how the people of PA think!.

I find this entire election year "spin" incredibly stupid. Every little thing said is spun so far out of context, it's pure rubbish. Give me the facts, plain and simple, and I will decide for myself. I do not need the "pundits" and various garden variety idiots to tell me who to vote for.

This just proves that lying gets you votes and the people really aren't interested in HOPE. You know what folks, YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS DESERVE WHAT YOU GET!!!! "IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU'LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS GOT"! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET THE MEDIA INFLUENCE YOUR VOTE? AFRAID TO THINK FOR YOURSELF??????

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. BARACK OBAMA

I don’t know how many “test” Obama must receive before people began to see his strengths and abilities to lead this country. We now have McCain and Clinton (all 3 of them) coming down on Barack and he is now showing his abilities to fight back.

I find it funny that HRC has a commercial from “rural people” saying – “I’m not bitter”… well the people in the commercial are standing in a CITY and truly don’t look that “rural” to me. He should fire back with a commercial of “rural people” (farmers, small towns, etc)… those people ARE bitter. Heck… … I’m bitter! Our government is looking out for others before taking care of our own. McCain and Clinton are as out of touch as Bush… but hey… … … they come from the same old politics.

It is time that we end this and I feel a BIG upset getting ready to happen in PA. It is time for us to come together – men, women, young, old, black, white… and stand behind our next president – Obama. We can not stand for him to continue to be broken down over what we know in our hearts is right.

carolflowery: I believe McCain has adopted Romny to be his right hand man on the economy….very smart move…very smart

If Obama wins the nomination, kiss the White House away Democrats.

The Mummy will be our next president.

Hillary 20089!

Why does the headline on the front page say that Clinton has "gained" on Obama? She used to be up 20 points and now she's up 6. That's an unfortunate gain.

Forget the polls. I want to know why Obama being called a "boy" by a fellow congressmen is not a big story? People had forums about the Reverand and now there running this "bitter" comment in the ground. But calling a grown African-American man running for president "boy" is not a big deal at all? Selective Journalism??

HRC harping on this "bitter" statement means that she is definitely out of touch, and the media constantly running this story for endless news cycles shows that they are out of touch with the lives of average, hard-working Americans.

Obama '08

Just like the Kentucy Senator said "Obama is selling snake oil" it's true. Please see through this liar, fast talking, finger pointing, just like the rest but claims he's the best politician. He's insulting and arrogant.

He speaks like a preacher and that makes me wonder what his real agenda is because he seems to want to keep it a secret.

To all you Hillary supporters out there who think Poor Hillary is always picked on. I beg to differ. There is so much in her closet yet nothing is brought out. That credit goes to Obama who is trying to keep the negativity out of the race and White House. If you sit back and look at this campaign, it seems Hillary is the one who right before a state election manages to make something out of nothing. Makes you kind of feel sorry for her. Desperation is not a pretty picture.

I am an Obama supporter. However, it is unfortunate that at this stage of the game, he keeps stepping on his you know what by giving Hillary ammunition that stems his surge.

People in Pa. better think long and hard before they go o the polls. This woman will do, and say anything to be President. Her and her husband have ego's the size of Pa. Obama voters–lets go!!! He needs us now more than ever.

There's never been any doubt that Clinton will win PA. The question is can she win it by enough to make a difference in the contest..

The obvious answer is NO.

All Pa persons, Wake up. Do not let's this lady back to White House. This family already HUNRRY POWER, Vincent Foster, Ron Brown, Monica, jennifer Flower, Whitewater,Peter Paul,.,,,,,,on and on,…All Inteligent people PA don't see that? Left White House with more than $10Millions in deb now make more than $109M..Where money come from, Bribe money….
CNN why you don't post my comment. Do not hide my comment.

Pennsylvania people are not stupid as hillary thought they were. She thought by going to the bar haveing been and a shot of whiskey and calling obama elist would do the trick she was wrong. Pennsilvania people saw through her lie, for God sake her and her husband made 109M dollars in six years also we still don't Know how much they made in 2007 and she thinks she relates to people making less than 50000 a year what a joke.

Obama did not insult the good people of Pennsylvania. He was misinterpreted. Sorta like when Hillary and Bill "misspoke" and few weeks ago. What I believe Obama was saying was, "Faith without works is dead." It is not enough to believe in your religion, but you must get up and do something about your situation.

Hillary is the smart choice for President..White House is not a training wheel.

Hillary 08..

Hillary is using this "bitter" thing to change the poll numbers because she knows if she doesn't win my double digits it's still over. The bottom line is the primary is over. There is no way she can catch him without winning by large numbers.

The PA folks need to also pay attention to Gov Rendel even his tone is becoming realistic and changing. CHANGING, there that word again. I don't like how Hillary takes negative to gain..Thats politics!!!!!!!!

It's time to move on..Now McCain has launched his economic plan while the dem's fight over bitter..PA folks get over..I believe Hillary need to stop..she is at her lowest yet..Trying to win at any cost even humiliation.

If the American people want change brought into the White House Obama is the only candidate. Clinton has already been in the White House and won't bring change. She's the one who turn a blind eye to her own husband cheating on her. Who knows what else she will ignore. And its absolute pointless to elect McCain into the White House because he's no different the Bush.

Thanks Hillary that she is dropping out of the race

Obama fans: Where do you think Rev. Wright will be put in the White House? What position will he hold? Hmmnn I wonder how his wife will fit in, I mean, ya know she is/was ashamed of America? Wonder what all those bitter, gun and religion toting folks will do. Maybe they can ask his pal the slum lord how to manage their finances.

Your alwasy slamming Clinton but I guess a man who holds a racist as his confidant fits into your dreams of your man in the White House.
We have one racist, bigoted,rich back patting sob about ready to leave and you want to put another in his place??????
You folks are crazy!

Sen. Obama chose the wrong words but described the situation with honesty and with no candescence. I give him a lot of credit for that.

Glad that Pennsylvanians are smarter than that, Sen. McCain and Hillary's dirty tricks. That's the small towns that we know.

Obama for America

Poll of Polls is what, you pick any number you want, then add together any other poll you want to get it and then call it a news story. Please the psychic network would be better at this. Get out of the newsroom and go find a real story.

Hillary is a scary women.

MM. Not much of an increase considering the harsh and elitist remarks of a man who is out of touch with america. Obama is america. single parent mom remarries he works hard to get into a school and he excells. Now being educated is a bad thing. He works hard and earns his way up and is an elitist she works hard and makes 109 million dollars in 7 years and is common people. I wont say anything bad about Hilary because her campaign has done it. She calls Obama arrogant but she ran a campaign as the encumbent as if she was supposed to win and the white house should be hers.

Hello there CNN….could you also include the ARG and SurveyUSA polls??????? HELLO!!!!!!
20 points ahead, 18 and 16 points AHEAD and has been since LAST WEEK…..nice try, though…..
GO HILLARY!!!!

We learned in earlier primaries that the polls tend to undercount Obama supporters because they rely on land-line telephone subscribers, missing the 20-somethings, who commonly have only cellular service. Should this be the case in Pennsylvania, Clinton's six point lead would be much less.

Most of these polls began before "Barry" made his stupid remark. They don't really reflect the impact his snobbishness had on the rural people of PA.

She will win by double digits ,who cares about what CNNs poll says.

It is very important that you all read the Daniel Coleman's article on the San Fran. fundraiser. He states that he was there and know the truth of the whole matter. Please go to the Huffington Post and read the article. It's eye-opening!

GO HILLARY GO!!!

WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm. . . Obama makes bitter comment. Then Hillary makes a big deal of it. Result. . . .bitter people. Sounds like you really helped the situation Miss gunslinging optimist. This is not a big deal. It is just being blown up like every other minor issue. Lets get back to what these candidates are going to do about millions of uninsured, poor people in this country. In other words what we were doing before Clinton changed the scene for her own benefit. You don't see Obama going off track to win political points.

You can have mother of all polls for whatever they are worth, the fact remains that short of stealing, Hillary does not have a prayer to win the democractic nomination. The media can churn and froth all cliches that they want, the math does not add up for the Clintons. The sooner Hillary disappears on her broom with Bill, better it is for the country in deciding whether Obama or McCain should get elected as the President in fall. Both these guys are honest, decent americans but with different point of views. Hillary is a congenital liar and doesn't even deserve to be a senator.

Go Hillary!

Americans you have to educate yourself before you make inaccurate statements on a blog. Read the entire content of Obama statement, and if possible analyze the content. There are serious implications. Do you want a President to make serious mistakes of this nature with foreign countries which may jeopardize our future security. Think! Think! One does not need to be educated to THINK.

Hillary was always ahead in PA GO HILLARY!

No matter what the polls show she is a disgusting person. I am sure Pennsylvania at the end would do the right thing. Hillary is the old establishment and had plenty of chances to prove herself. Now that the competition is almost over and she wants to compete only hearts the party.

I have never been this much involved with politics until this year. I have voted always. I'm just amazed at all of this back bitting and trying to bring this one down and that one down. As I continue to say God doesn't make a mistake and HE will see who would be the better servant to run HIS COUNTRY!!!! right now it is a a lot of fooliness going on with both parties. God said vengence is mine. Obama doesn't need to do anything, but let time take it's course and if this is for him it will happen same goes for Hillary and McCain.

Hillary……you've done yourself in. Come on……the mud slinging is just sooooooClintononian. Maybe you're the bigotted one with your clear statements Obama cannot win…..it's gotten too ugly. Back off and support the will of the people……you can still have a great impact on senatorial or governor positions. Clinctons are just soooo done for me…….talk about power mongoring.

Hillary up in Indiana by 16 points .Survey USA 55 % Clinton 39 % Obama. She will also win KY and WV by a huge margin .

Go Barack! Now is your chance to beat her HARD! Go with HER $109 millions; LIAS about sniperfire, NAFTA and her husband's $800 000 from Columbia government, Iraq's war voting and everything… so that this snake be self-poisened…

I'm a Philadelphian living abroad and I WISH I was home if only on apr 22nd to vote OBAMA!!!!

Hillary Clinton better win BIG in PA. When I say BIG, I'm talking about by more than 15 points or she's out. PA is her country as she claims. Any win below 12 points is not a win. After using all dirty tricks in the book, Hillary has to win BIGGGGGGGG.

A new poll out shows Obama has 10 points over Hillary Clinton, nationally.

Imagine Obama took PA. Then Hillary would say Indiana and North Carolina are the states that "really count?" I thought CNN was different from FOX but you guys have LOST my confidence. Seems like your all about spin & ratings just like them.

I get it now….I'm kinda slow, Billary has to get back in the whitehouse because of their legacy. The impeachment, duh…

IS 2 points really so significant to warrant the headline..

Its the duty of organizations like CNN to make sure that the general public understands terms like "margin of error" and when each poll has a much greater margin than 2 points, is the poll of polls moving 2 points really so great that it is on the headlines…

in fact the headline could very easily have been, Not much change over the past week!!! based on the same numbers

Hasn't she always been the one who was going to win this state.
