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!!!!

If Clinton were the "one," the primary would have ended on Super Tuesday. It did not. She is not the "one."

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

Finally, people can see the fraud that is Obama. Full of empty words and promises, the real truth about his view and position becomes clear with this statement. Pull the wool from your eyes people, he is scamming everyone. Don't believe the rhetoric, he is just another talking head (just as Reagan and others were before him).

Clinton 08!

Smile Hillary smile. That is not blowing him out the socket.

I am glad of the increase…..but it should be of much more. Come on people let's make this a landslide victory for Hillary.
Hillary is not only the best choice…..She is the best period……

whoopi doo, clinton is above 6 points………. she need more than that to catch up with obama.

Again the nasty hatefilled Obama supporters are out in force early today. Obama Supporters are the reason I will sit this General Election out if Hillary does not get the nomination. I will be at Denver to see what happens. Will any of you?

Is is NEWS when Hillary does not support the Columbian trade deal but her husband went down to make $800,00 supporting it? People….look into it. This is her decision making process….we do not need someone with outstanding campaigning skills as President. She is an awesome campaigner….thats why 'Bitter' is all the news. Wake up. Love to hear from a Hillary supporter about that.

NOT SO FAR. OBAMA WILL BE THE WINNER IN THE INCOMMING PRIMARY. CLINTON IS DESPERATE, IRRACIONAL AND LOOKING AT ANY MEANS TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS…..WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE INTEREST OF AMERICA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
TIME WILL TELL US WHOS IS RIGHT OR WRONG. AS A DEMOCRATIC I COILD NEVER SUPPOR THE CLINTONS IN THIS DIVISE DURTY RACE. SHAME ON YOU SENATOR CLINTON….YOU COULD DO MUCH BETTER AND DID RUIN IT. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND TAKE AT LEAST A POSITION THAT PEOPLE WOULD
BE PROUD OF. WHAT AND WORLD EMBARESSEMENT FOR US.

How many Obama supporters sit and blog all day because they are spoiled college students with no clue as to how America is hurting today? Obama is an elitist snob who has been pampered and given everything—scholarships to Princeton and Harvard through Affirmative Action. He doesn't live in the real world, and neither do his Kool-Aid drinking supporters. He DOES NOT "transcend race", he uses it when he wants to get votes, and to criticize anyone who doesn't like his political sleeze as "racist".

Wil we ever get rid ot the Clintons and their "WIN AT ANY COST" attitute. The fact that the press keeps these "bitter" remarks as an ongoing news story is also shameful. Obama was speaking the truth and enough is enough. It was reported, addressed a thousand times and it's time to move on!

The only thing that keeps me going is that one day the Clintons and their deceitful, misleading arrogant ways will soon be gone!.

WILL CNN PLEASE ASK HILLARY (AND REPORT THE ANSWER) AS TO WHETHER SHE AND HER SURROGATES ARE PLANNING TO PAY "STREET MONEY" TO GET VOTES IN PHILADEPHIA. THAT'S AN AFFRONT TO OUR ENTIRE SYSTEM AND OBAMA HAS REJECTED IT…….BUT NO WORD FROM HILLARY. PROBABLY SHE'LL FUNNEL THE MONEY TO THE STREETS EVEN IF SHE DENIES IT, BUT AT LEAST CNN (OR SOMEONE) COULD ASK THE QUESTION!!!!

Why is it CNN did not report the fact Senator Clinton is +20 against Obama. ONLY Lou Dobbs reported it last night. Obama will lose big in PA and Indiana.

Amazing how the Obama supporters just do not get it. Obama cannot win the general election and all of things that are being brought out about his flipping on issues and double standards just does not wash. He own words will come back to haunt him when he said he and Bush share about the same views on Iraq. The ties with lobbyists makes him look like he is doing the same thing he accuses Hillary of. And believe it or not, the pastor issue will drag him down. Face it Obama, if you win the nomination, you will lose my vote. I voted for the Democrats every year since 1972, and it looks like this I will either vote for the GOP or sit it out.

Slip a little here… slip a little there… and the primary battle will just go on and on! Great news for the GOP… they sit back and watch them destroy each other…

This is getting crazy. I mean, this has really got to stop. The dems will LOSE in November if this keeps up. Then history will look back at this time and people will be asking themselves, "what happened here??" The Party needs to stand up and pick someone already. Stinking primaries lasting all year. Makes no sense.

Senators Clinton and McCain are both in the same gutter. They both will stay there when it is all said and done. John McCain because he wants Senator Clinton to try and tear Senator Obama to shreds and give him ammunition to use against him when they meet. (I think he secretly would rather face Hilliary than Obama – it would be easier for him to win. The sad part of it is Senator Clinton, I hope superdelegates are really paying attention to how she is running her campaign. The superdelegates all know that what Senator Clinton is saying is NOT true. She is literally ripping the Democratic party apart – she seems of be of the mind if she can't win than he won't win either.

Obama's true colors are showing. Americans would see, in more time, that he has the same attitudes. Most of my family lives in rural areas. What a disgrace. This is similar to the Rural/Urban divide in many political discussions.

Polls are statistically unpredictable in this day and age, although Hillary Clinton is expected to win Pennsylvania she can still look like the loser especially being up 20 percent at one time.

Obama '08′!!!!!!!!!!

She was up by 20 points a month ago. She has the endorsement of the Gov. The Lt. Gov., The Mayor of Philly, The Mayor of Pitts, the Mayor of Erie and The State Dem. Chair (who should have remained neutral out of respect for the position) . She should be up by large double digits. She needs to win by large double digits to start moving closer in the elected delegate count. If she doe not win by large double digits in PA there is no way she wins the nomination in the remaining contest unless she convince the voters to support her.
She has lost 30 out of 44 contests so far. It is a miracle, mystery or a making of the media that she is still in the race.

If she does not win PA by large numbers and eat into his lead, what is the use for staying active in the race? If she wants to stay active in the race at least she could stick to the issues and stop attacking and focusing on the silly stuff.

GOOD! Here is an excert from Arianna Huffington's blog today (April 15) on the Huffington Post that answered the Clintons quite effectively. 'Clinton supporters say the darndest things. Here's Sen. Evan Bayh, commenting on the political firestorm surrounding Barack Obama's remarks — broken here on HuffPost's OffTheBus — about economically-depressed small town voters: 'The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidates, whether it's Al Gore or John Kerry. I'm afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to harm him.'
They? They? It's not the far right wing relentlessly using these comments for political gain, Senator. It's your candidate, Hillary Clinton, adopting the frames, lies, stereotypes and destructive clichés long embraced by the likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. She has clearly decided that the road to victory runs through scorched earth. The question is, if she succeeds, what kind of Party will she be left to lead? She's burning down the village to save it — or to prove that she would make the best fire chief. But the village won't be saved; only one house will be left standing. A house with room for just two occupants. Hill and Bill.. . If Clinton's Rovian stoop-to-anything tactics succeed — not at beating Obama but at making him an easier target for McCain — the price will be paid by the very small-town Americans she is now pandering to. Americans already banished to economic oblivion by the same cynical tactics she's employing will be rewarded with four more years of downward economic mobility."

Obama's words were not meant as an insult. The media has portrayed the negativity along with both Hillary and McCain.

Let's be honest. Barack Obama is a very smart person. I saw footage where he wouldn't even accept free cheese at a local bakery because he commented that it would be turned into an issue. You think this guy would honestly insult PA voters ahead of an important primary? Makes no sense. His words were obviously not spoken the best they could have been, but the intent wasn't bad. Private fund raiser or not, he knows there will be a camera or a audio recorder somewhere.

She wants to be the first woman president at any cost. Her campaign has been a true example of what her presidency would be like. She is determined to destroy the democratic house by attacking Obama, being negative and acting ugly. What makes you think she will be anything other than that with other heads of state? We deserve so much better this time around. She is an awful example American women let alone, those of us who are in positions of leadership and authority. PA WAKE UP!!!

What about the poll with her up 20 reported after bittergate. What about the most accurate polling group of the season (Survey USA) having her up 18. CNN is only talking about the polls that favor Obama.

Voters in Pennsylvania that are open minded and do their homework will see that Sen. Clinton is a very untrustworthy person. Matter of fact, I would say that her lies or fabrications are much in line with Pres. Bush. Do we really want his style back in the White House?

Also, Sen. Clinton, stop playing the gender card. You can dish your comments out, but cry when your punches come right back at you!!!

Didn't your husband say, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"? If not, it was something like that.

Unfortunately, you are setting the bar for future women of the state with your aggressive attitute that you call a fighter. It really turns people off. Try and be like the female Governors that have endorsed Sen. Obama… They are true examples of women that other women can model themselves as…Try it…it might work for you…..

Good! I'm glad the data is finally showing that Hillary's exaggerated attacks against our man Barack aren't sticking. She's nothing but a fraud.

Now to see what else she blames on me…

If Bill, Hilary and Mccain say that the people are not "bitter" but "proud" its just a shame that their hypocrisy is at it again. They are too wealthy to understand what it is to lose your home, lose your job, struggle to raise your children, when they can't feel your pain and only want your vote. In a nutshell they are saying people are proud to lose their homes and jobs??? lets be real, the economy is bad and people are frustarted and angry and wel of course bitter when washington has no solution, but a dynasty of the wealthy!

At least Hillary doesn't have anti-American friends. I want a President that is PROUD to be an American. Obama's friends are Rev. Wright, anti-American; Rezko who is a crook; Ayers who speeks anti-American; even his wife who seems to be mad at America. I don't need Obama telling me I am bitter and that is why I have religion. He has no right to tell me how to feel.

We Clintonites will gladly take the bump up in these numbers!! It's wonderful news that Pennsylvanians are wisely giving Obama a hard scrub before swallowing up the media's disgustingly skewed love for him. Hillary is the most misunderstood figure of our time!

GO HILLARY!!

Pennsylvanians are shrewd and have been around the block.My guess is that Hillary is finished.

I love how Hillary, the former first lady with $100 million in the bank, tries to paint herself as a beer-drinking, gun-loving country girl. Blind ambition has shredded this woman's soul. Vote Obama in Pennsylvania.

Great news for Hillary – but also for the Democratic party, the USA, and the entire world.

At long last, people are beginning to recognize which candidate has the BEST RESUME, and is the MOST PREPARED.

"EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY TEACHER" and she has a broad background in a variety of settings, as well as the intelligence to coordinate it.

I have utmost CONFIDENCE in Hillary's ability – further strengthened
by her appearance on the "Faith" forum – and SHE HAS MY VOTE!

PA voters have the power to get past their racism this time and END THE DEMOCRATIC MADNESS. If you voters in PA can acknowledge that Hill has lost and the only way to begin to go after McCain is to fight for a Obama win in PA.

Come on PA voters. Dont be so stupid. Clinton cannot win the nomination.

No Poll is 100% accurate. The bottom line is that when voters come out Tuesday to vote, those still undecided will turn to Hillary.
Barrack Obama is really showing his true colors. He is an Elitist and his remarks demean many people. The only people spinning this in his favor are those who are still drunk on the Koolaid.
Say what you want about the Clintons, but it was a pretty prosperous time for many Americans. They have shown that they can people put to work and I have no reason to belief that this will not be the case again.

If Hillary should not get the nod, I will be votin for McCain, at least he is a man of moral character and not a phony being propped upp the Left wing Media.

CNN always downplays Clinton's statistics….some polls have her ahead 20 points, Rasmussen today has her ahead 9 points, but good ole Obamaland has her ahead in "the poll of polls" whatever that is by 6 points. Let's see how your credibility stands up on April 22, CNN.

Now Hillary talks everywhere that she also experienced "HER TROUBLES" and that they did make her not bitter but better.
Does she mean her husband cheating on her? Is she completely out of shame to suggest that this pathetic trouble of hers which perpetuated for decades equals peoples' trouble with such things as health, food on the table and loosing their house to millionaire lenders?
It is absolutely amazing how people can swallow this!

Women, out of all the people, should know better that Clinton and like her "standing by their cheating men" make other men to expect their wives to tolerate their misbehavior. They encourage YOUR man to cheat on YOU and you call this fighting for womens rights?

Why don't we all chill out as we will know in one week how the people of pennsylvania really feel and what they are made of. I have confidence that they will see through all of this crap and make the right decision for them as well as the country. If Hillary is always reversing herself and misspeaking as well as never accepting responsibility for anything she does, the people of pennsylvania know she will do the same to them (stab them in the back and continue to take away their jobs through nafta). Does anyone out there think that Bill and Mark Penn will not have a major say in Hillary's policies? Their riches after the white house years were a direct result of selling out the american public during their 8 years in office. Unfortunately, it didn't come home to roost for us until they left office.

The superdelegates also know that hillary is unelectable and that if they decide to go against how we voted, that we know they voted in their personal best interest not in our country's best interest. We will hold them responsible for this!

I pray for us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I were in the state of Pennsylvania and someone said that about my beliefs, I would be upset. The people of this country have a right to be upset with Obama's words. His words sounded like something out of a sermon that his Pastor would have given.
I know I will probably not get posted but oh well..

I'm getting tired…vote already

Cindy Mccain , wife of Mcsame has a serious plagiarism issue by copying the food network verbatim and calling it Cindy Mccain 's recipe.
May be she can give a speech of Food / Recipe.

Or I forgot she is the wife MCsane

Obama is cashing in with the "Elitist" comment Hillary and McCain throwing at him. People are going to his website and donating. Hillary keeping on motivating obama supporters.

Who Cares

If Penn votes for Obama now after he has more or less called them
back woods hillbillies, then they should have their heads examined.

If he wins Penn then everyhting he has said in on the button.

Wake up Penn, he will destroy America

McCain or Clinton 08

GO HILLARY
please expose this guy for what he is. He has wonderful words and they just flow out and all believe in him- Actions will count more and they won't just flow out like his words to please everyone. BEWARE-
this guy says what you want to hear- really have my doubts as to what his real actions will be.
Hillary has the experience and she does see thru him- all of you for Obama will realize that a little too late if he gets the nomination.

I am a Christian who at times are bitter and frustrated. Sen. Obama misspoke but he did not lie I do find stability in my traditions. BTW my husband hunts as well. All you self rightious people get over yourselves.

I just listened to McCain's economic speech, so i wont be voting for either of the dems, it's not very clear to me, so let em keep on fighting

Not that it will matter in the long run because the media has already crowned Sen Obama and we all know the media is always right. The media will just dig around a little and find something they can throw at "the little lady" in the race taking the spotlight off Sen Obama and his major gaffe. It is not the word "bitter" that is the problem, it is the patronizing attitude of the Senator implying that small town Americans "cling" to their guns and religion as if it were the security blanket of a two year old. The Obama-bots only hear the word "bitter" and say "yes we are", Senator Obama's insulting treatment of Senator Clinton's criticism (The Annie Oakley analogy) shows a total lack of respect for the Senator and the Obama-bots think that's funny. Talk about a sexist, gender bias comment, of course the media is choosing to ignore this "personal" attack.

Billary's disdain for truth is evident thru out her career in the public eye(including WhiteWater, Bill's fling's always the other woman's "lies", her failed work for health care reform in the 90's,support of current war,resistance to release personal earnings & tax info over the years).I find it very elitist when her & Bill repeatedly display behaviors that indicate they feel laws & rules are for everyone other than themselves.
I really wish there was more campaigning in Alaska just to hear her ruminations of driving a dog-sled as she dodged sniper fire.To bad they didn't give her a gun in Bosnia .I'm sure she would have shot back .But maybe it's not too late for her to use her gun toting talents in the war she supported starting in Iraq.it'll make a great story line ,Hillary . You seem to thrive off of drama & sensationalism whether it's true or not..

Obama is using the exact same tactics that he slams Hillary for. He bowled, he licked his fingers when eating ribs, he talks like a preacher. She has a beer, bowls and uses 'you'all' in NC and gets slammed for it. Obama doesn't stand a chance against McCain.
He hangs with Rev Wright and Donnie McClurkin – oh but that's OK. Not by me! I don't need another president guided by hateful people.

Most Pennsylvanians didn't fall for Hillary's cheap tricks to sway them. Most of them are smart enough to see exactly what Obama meant. Once the media has stopped carzing over this, Hillary's lead will likely be within the margin of error. Obama may win PA yet!

Obama '08

ARG Poll……..Hillary is +20!!! Who is Right?

Can some one tell me what did Obama ment by calling Hillary Annie Oakley?

she cannot win this race.she will not unite this country.she cannot beat the republicans.her message is negative.her politics are divisive.she doesn't know ,people are bitter.she stoops to name-calling.she lies.she supports one side of an issue,while her husband and others in her campaign,are holding meetings,supporting the other side.her supporters are left-over supporters of her husbands administration.if these polls hold true,a single digit win in pa.,will not be nearly enough to help her catch up to obama.

YOU GO GIRL! YOU GO GIRL!! YOU GO GIRL!!

THREE CHEERS FOR BRAINS, EXPERIENCE AND COMMON SENSE!

CLINTON 08

teflon obama,say what teflon obama,bring it on mcbush and HRC.

CNN, McCain and the Clinton campaign over shot this one. THe news outlets and the two campaigns seemed more outraged than the people. They simply made it too obvious that it was a concerted effort for the status quo to take down the newcomer.

Of the remaining candidates no one has more votes, more states, more donations, more people donating to their campaigns than Senator Obama. The people want Obama to be president…I know Clinton, McCain and CNN hate to hear it but its true. Report that.

I'm in Pa. and I don't consider what Obama said insulting at all. He spoke the truth and in fact, put it quite mildly.
The Clintons will do and say anything to win and it shows by the way they are running their campaign. They think we're stupid.
McBush is flying under the radar right now and Billary is helping him along. Wait til the focus is on him!

The polls I read last week always had the six point edge for Hillary. She's not up!

Pennsylvania let's end the media circus. Vote for Obama! He'll be good for the country. Don't Worry!

She has a 20 Point Lead! NOT Obama!!!!!!

If you would have included the American Research Group to your "so called poll of polls", the figure would have been much higher. The ARG poll has Clinton leading 57 to 37%, which is a 20 point lead in Pennsylvania. CNN has been fair in its reporting up the the last month or so, but recently you have shown a bias against Hillary Clinton. Your in field reporters still objective, but your in station crew is so anti Clinton that it is a disgrace. I would refer you to an story in Salon. com. where the wrtier stated that Cafferty was "deranged" when mentioning Hillary. Martin all he does is campaign for Obama while being paid as a contributor for CNN, although not as bitter as these other two the tone of most of Gloria's comments are Hillary hating. Please stop saying " the best political team on T.V., because it is just not true.

I cannot believe how happy Hillary is now that the pressure is on Obama and off of her and Bill's Bosnia lies. I can't stand to see her speak anymore and I used to be a Clinton supporter. She is manupulative, a lier and she will stoop at anything to win. She will never win the election. So many people in Pennsylvania and this country could not do another Clinton White House. Bill would have more time than ever to cohort with the young interns. Hillary would be up at 3 am looking all over for him and then who would answer the phone?

Hillary had started with a 20 point lead over Barack Obama but now has a 6 point lead.

Let get this right, she like to Munipulate words to her advantage.

She lies. recieves Kick Backs from companies who do business with the government.

Now, for her cheating "rapist husband" who takes advantage of his employees sexually we know he can not be trusted who's the biggest of all liars.

Why do we want these two back in the white house?

Call me stupid, but we need a new course of action.

Barrack Obama 08,

He provide honesty, he may not always use the best word but he knows what it means……

I think we needs to cleanup "Washington" starting at the Top.

Wake up America

OB has twisted and turned what he says everytime

we need Hillary in the White House

not the inexperience

Go Hillary '08

Super, Americans are more insightful than politicians take them for. Go Obama, you nailed it right on the head! It is amusing to here the "multimillionaire candidates call Obama "elitist" someone who was raised by a single mother, partly in a poor Indonesia
come on!

The reason why there are no differences in the polls results 2 days after the news of the comments is that most people think Obama was right! We are Bitter with the direction this country is going and when we are going thru hard times what do I do? Pray!

And must I point out that Clinton decided to mention Obama's comment and make such a BIG DEAL out of it mentioning it over and over (she knows how to manipulate the media) right after she was about to be in hot water all over again for her Bosnia adventure Bill Clinton resurrected…

Go Hillary!

How can OBAMA's supporters not see him for what HE is. A fast talking BS'er who talks the big talk but has done nothing. He has no CREDIBILITY, NO JUDGEMENT. NOT NOW— NOT EVER —- NO WAY — NOBAMA. For all the "Wright Reasons" Hillary all the way in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOO BAD HILLIARY HAS TO GET HER VOTES BY TEARING DOWN A FELLOW DEMOCRAT….HAIL HILLIARY FULL OF GRACE….HER RELIGIOUS SPEECH ALMOST MADE ME THINK THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD SWEEP DOWN AND CARRY HER OFF…WHAT A PHONY. I'LL VOTE FOR ANYONE BUT THAT LYING PHONY.

you wanna see BITTER? then nominate elitist millionnaire Hillary…. stupid dems will hand the 2008 election to McCane…..

how ANYONE could consider Hillary and a dynastic presidency is beyond all reason.

Hillary 08

I don't believe in CNN poll punditry.The poll I know has Hillary at 57% to Obama at 37% a double digit lead of 20.Playing Hillary down every time she leads Obama is unfair and biased.I also expect you to post this comment!

SHE IS DESPIRATE TO BE PRESIDENT AND I AM DESPIRATE TO VOTE AGAINST HER!! OBAMA 08!!!

right, CNN like to fabricate stories and selectively post pro-Obama comments. Look at the posts! Quinnapac was as inaccurate a poll as ARG. CNN, you can't even make your own poll creditable.

surveyUSA is the most accurate poll so far. I simply stated the fact that they found Clinton was leading in PA by 18 pts, Obama was leading by 10 in NC, you don't even dare to put up my comment. how bias is CNN?

Bravo for Hil. 2 whole points. Unfortunately, the increase is a far cry from the overwhelming victory that she needs to sway the superdels.

I find it very interesting how most of the media always conviently leave out any polls that shows a gain in PA for Hillary……almost as though there is an intentional effort to mislead the public. The lates polls…ARG and Rasmussen showed that Hillary is ahead in one case 20 points and the other 10 points. Must I always have to report facts in these comments area in order for all to have balance here……shouldn't this be the media's job? Please! do your job and report facts, not opinions or bias!

It sounds like the roar from outsourced jobs, home foreclosures; high gasoline prices and paying for groceries in Pennsylvania were louder than Hillary's promises and cries for votes. Don't believe the polls taken in the state, only the results there on April 22nd will matter.

I'm a 62 year old HISPANIC, CATHOLIC WOMAN. My entire family and friends are Obama supporters. What Obama said is the truth, so I guess the TRUTH hurts. I always said if Hillary is the nominee, I would still vote for her. Every day, I'm finding it harder and harder to do so.

I'm sure that "kitchen sink" is still on its way…

These polls are not the most accurate at times. Being that there is usually a two or three point marginof error, as far as I am concerned, they are still the same as the last time they were taken. Neither has gained or lost much of anything.

The polls are never correct. I do not want this lying woman representing me!

I hope that the voters of Pennsylvania will put an end to this race. Hillary Clinton will not win in November. The Republicans want to run against her because they know she will lose. Put an end to this race and let the Democratic Party start to heal. Clinton fully intends to drag this race on. She would rather destroy the party than to drop out. She will do everything in her power to destroy Obama in order to win. If he wins the nomination her hope is to have so damaged him, he will lose in November, then she will win in four years. Think about your vote Pennsylvania. Put an end to Hillary's bid and let's start coming together as a party.

This will all be over soon and when the does clears I hope that we have someone whos words match their actions.

Hillary Clinton 08′

Even with all the backlash and media comments over Obama's "Bitter" comment, she gained a lousy 2 points? Are you kidding me? What does this tell you Hillary?

Obama is so clean, unlike Hillary, they jump on every single comment, remove it from its context and spin it. It's just so typical. And as usual, Obama will come out unscathed, if not stronger.

Go Barack Go! Obama '08!

Fickle people, some of you were the same people decrying that polls done mean nothing when Obama was gaining, this week they suddenly mean something. Humm, would Obama say, well we didnt expect to win PA anyway, as hillary has said about states Obama has. What Obama said about PA and the Archie Bunkers of PA was the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, those kind of people are the same folks who swept George Bush into office and i suppose it took a Big man like Obama to Say it, the truth hurts dont it.

Hillary /Edwards 08

It is so unbelievable that Hillary has the following that she does. She is such a liar. The shame her husband brought upon our country while he was president along with her lies and their removing things from the white house that had to be returned, should wake the american people up. Where is the honesty and integrity that we need. We do need a change for the better and in my opinion she's not it.

If the voters are not bitter yet, wait till this summer when the gas prices skyrocket. We'll see who is bitter. It won't be the "ELITES".

AM VERY SURPRISE THAT HILLARY WILL HAVE THE GUTS TO CONDEMN OBAMA. SORRY! HILLARY YOU CANNOT FOUL ME ANYMORE. U PLAY DIRTY POLITIC. OBAMA08!!!

Sorry! Obama swiftboated himself this time, so why is everybody blaming HC. There is no way to clean up those statements he made. There are too many underlying messages.

Marc in IL, obviously you don't live in Obama's district in the slums of Reszko. Too bad you are blindly voting and making us all suffer through this. I can hear it now from your friends "Jump on Marc, the Obama train is so fun and inspiring… you'll get away from reality, at least until November.
Pity you fools.

I like the Survey USA poll which reflects an 18 point lead.

My next favorite poll is ARG which shows Clinton up by 20 points.

Why is that we only hear from pollsters who got it wrong in New Hampshire and California?

WOW only a six point lead with 8% unsure after a weekend of being
call an elitist and out of touch. I gues the 2 points gain is worth loosing the general election for clinton..

The latest numbers from American Research show Hillary Clinton now leading Obama by 20 points: 57 to 37 percent in Pennsylvania.

And 10 percent of likely Democratic primary voters in Pennsylvania say they would never vote for Hillary Clinton, while 24 percent say they would never vote for Obama.

please pennsylvanians dont let your yourselves be *clintonized* and
swindled by the press
anyone with any intelligence knows Obama did not mean bad by his words
maybe they did not come out exactly right but you know he means well
Clinton will try to reach her goal know matter how much muck she
rolls in.She has only one agenda and its her own big ego!!!
get your country out of the mess its in and vote for change
Obama 08

Hillary's supporters are hillarious! When the polls don't favor Clinton they "don't matter". But somehow, they actually matter when it appears that she's doing better? Get out of here!
Obama 08

Its still early..her lead will grow more before next Tuesday. Obama is DONE in PA!

Hillary / YES ————– NOBAMA / NO – Not ever

Oh no. This means Hillary's going to keep up her barrage of mean-spirited, silly spin. More glimpses of the black-hole that is Hillary's heart/conscience/soul.

voted for obama in the primary, will vote for mccain in the general

who cares!!! she def. won't get the nomination… unless her lies do pentrate the delegates minds that she is the best pick, but even though she can't even win within the democratic party right now!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!

I agree with mama4obama. Bill & Hillary were responsible for NAFTA, which robed all our jobs. I cant believe people, especially blue collar workers don't realize this. Wake up people. It's the the media supporting Hillary, and not showing the real facts that she did support NAFTA during the Clinton administration. It's a shame that media supports her, and mocks on Obama on silly things

The word "bitter" is an issue and the countless lies and deceptions this woman has transgressed are not?

She's a manipulative, bold, two faced liar willing to say or do anything – right or wrong to achieve her objective. Its a sad comment on our collective moral character as a nation that she has even gotten this far.

When are we going to wake up people and see the interests this woman really serves?

Sen. Obama displays an attitude of open-mindedness, of generosity, and of being willing to listen to another point of view. This is a REFRESHING CHANGE from the polarizing, partisan politics that we have seen in the last 20 years.

Hillary's take-no-prisoners approach is outdated in 2008, and it will drag us down further, both domestically and abroad. Today we do not need a "fighter" (give Hill credit for being a good one); these days we need a negotiator, a broker, a person who can reach out to those of different views, and work TOGETHER. Hillary is not that person, I'm afraid.

Good. All of this manufactured media controversy had little effect on Obama. The truth is, Obama was never going to win PA in the Primary anyways, this is a machine state, and the machine is fully behind Senator Clinton (and of course, so is the media). However, since she was expected to win this by 20 points (and she has to, to have any real shot at even keeping the nomination in sight), Obama keeping it to single digits will by a devastating loss for her. Watch the superdelegates back Obama after this, make sure she doesn't continue to swift boat the democratic party. (And yes, what she is doing is swift boating, except, he won't be swiftboated).

GOBAMA!!!

I don't know when standing up for the people of America has turned the American people to turn against he who does that.

Wake Up Americans…!!!

These polls mean diddley squat. it only takes a quick look at various websites to realize that. one says, unchanged after the "bitter" nonsense, the other says Hilary ahead, bla blah blah. Hilary's campaign is moribund, so no need to prolong the agony by giving out such illusive numbers. Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote — which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle — and use that achievement to pressure superdelegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else.
People who think that scenario is even remotely likely are living on another planet. As it happens, many people inside Clinton’s campaign live right here on Earth. In other words: The notion of the Democratic contest being a dramatic cliffhanger is a game of make-believe.

it is very unfortunate that Hillary is now a dirty politican. SORRY!!
SHE WILL REGREAT HER ACTION.

2 point gain and the margin of error is 2 points. Am I missing something?

Not enough to change the outcome of the nomination selection process.

Obama will be the nominee if her lead remains in single digits.

Obama supporters, America gets it, the Clintons don't. We will never vote for a liar and we will never vote for Mr. McGoo to blindly lead us into another war.

Take heart, Barack will win!

Obama 08

Go Hillary…. away… please.

Shrillary was supposed to win but huge double digits to stay viable… no? Why not title the headline: CLINTON LEAD IN MID SINGLE DIGITS

Polls don't seem to be particularly reliable, however, I hope it because voters are beginning to know Obama better and see that he is not all that he seems to be at first glance. I think he is beginning to reveal — that perhaps he is the "angry and bitter" person that he attributed to others. Certainly his wife Michelle comes off as angry and bitter, his minister comes off angry and bitter and so under his facade there may well be that same kind of feeling towards America. No one said America was perfect, however, an angry and bitter President is not what this nation needs at this time. As our economy continues to head south we need a person for President with experience who believes in the good of America. GO HILLARY!

I hope the voters of PA ignore the polls and help save our country from that arrogant, two faced, flip flopping liar Clinton.

This poll reaffirms that everywhere Obama goes, he has cut into Hillary Clinton's lead. In Feb, she led by 24 pts, now she is up by 6 pts.

Please Hillary, go away! We don't want you anywhere near the white house anymore. You and slick willy should take your 109 million nest egg and move to the bahamas.

obama 2008!!

PS: I hear John Mccain wears depends while Liebermann whispers sweet nothings into his ear

Why would anyone still want to support Obama after he repeatedly made all these mistakes?

Are they blind?!

The lead will increase once people realise that Obama is ARROGANT.
This polls were conducted when the controversy was still unfolding.

Now we know WHY HE HOLDS HIS CHIN awkwardly

ARROGANCE

Not many points gained, Hillary!

The American people have your number. Unfortunately, you just can't accept it. I think this is the 'nail in your coffin' so to speak. Keep on making a joke of yourself. Go for it. I imagine by the end of the week and people have had a chance to really analyze what you said over the weekend and yesterday, the margin will narrow. But again, it will not be your fault. You are what we need, but only acccording to you. Have you noticed how many of your followers are sort of going off point and warming to Obama?

Last week I thought this was good for the Democratic party / process. I no longer agree. This is hurting the party. I wonder how much is hurting your political career also. I have read you have to stay in the race because of bills you still have to pay from the money that is to still come in. I think you should get out, pay your bills with the $6 million you donated to charity (I mean Clinton Foundation) and try to salvage what you have left of any credibility.

Sandy in NE

I thought I heard of a poll that just came out, that has her 20 points ahead in PA. Anyways, anything less than an all out blow out of Obama in PA is going to be a win for Obama. He's running an excellent campaign but the media seems to do its part with hit piece after hitpiece. I wish the media would do its job and stay on the side lines as its supposed to.

The whole "bitter" controversy was taken way out of context. Just wondering how much money the Clinton campaign is swelling the coffers of you heartless Americans?

OBAMA O8

re: Susan MO April 15th, 2008 10:20

You'd rather we voted for the candidate that lies and distorts the truth in order to win votes? Hillary insulted the intelligence of the people of Penn when she said she was against NAFTA and CAFTA.

I will NEVER vote for Clinton. At the start of the campaign I was all for her, but her pandering to the NRA and Fox News in addition to her distortion of Senator Obama's comments leads me to believe she, like our current President, would sell her soul for the White House. While I cannot vote for McCain, if she manages to ignore the popular vote and steals the nomination, I will sitting out the Presidental election of 2008. It's a hard choice, but my days of voting for the lesser of two evils is at an end.

She's still a liar and will never be my president. Let her dream on, Barack will win.

Obama 08

Please, Pa. do not let this woman pandering to you cloud your good judgement. I lived in Wilkes Barre for 3 years, and I have heard and seen people losing faith in our government. For Hillary Clinton to sit on a stage and claim that she felt the Holy Spirit is just another way of her pandering. Big deal, her frandparents were from Scranton, and she spent some summers at her grandfathers cottage (back in the 50's, you must have been wealthy to afford a summer home). She is also from New York, Arkansas, Ohio, and just about every other state as long as she gets what she craves – power. This woman graduated from Wellesley College and Yale Law school, and calls the other democratice candidate an Elitist? Consider your choices very carefully. She will forget about you all as soon as the primary is over, go back to her $109.00 million ($800,000.00 of which comes from Bill's support for Columbia free tradesupport) all the while the York Peppermint Patty factory is being closed and 250 of your jobs shipped to Mexico, all courtesy of NAFTA which she supported. Please be wise,Keystone state, and think about it good and hard- Obama only told the truth!

You must be joking!

This woman is most unelectable…..If by some chance she manages to arm twist her way onto the ticket I will simply stay home at the General Election

The snake oil "lady", and I use the term loosely, is spitting her venom.
Can't people she what a sham hillary is ? How quickly they forget the deliberate lies and her own personal culture of corruption.

I love it, if it were a gain from Obama who has been the frontrunner for sometime now, the headline would be almost celebratory.

There are a few other polls out there, like the most accurate surveryusa poll and the arg poll that show quite a more significant lead.

People that still believe in polls also believe the Earth is flat and the toothfairy.

What happened to the 20 point poll, Oh guess it was not really there. Oh and to all those that call Barack a rasict, elitist, and down right nasty. What does it say for Hillary if she is loseing to this guy. I just think it is funny that so many people say he can't win the general, maybe true, but you have to win the primarys just to get a shot and that is something Hillary has not been ableto do

There was no change in his numbers because he was right. Clinton would like us to believe that Mr. Obama was condescending. The only condescending thing is her for thinking the American public are stupid and not paying attention. I hope there is an upset in PA so that we call all be done with this nonsense. For once, I am excited that we have a choice in electing a good president.

As an Obama supporter, I must say that I will not be holding my breath for PA to come through for the party. With one week to go, it will only get worse from the queen's campaign. I wonder what it will be this time. I know it will be very shady what she will do, as we ALL have seen in the past, just some people refuse to see the dark side of Hil-lie-ary. I almost wet myself when she was trying to describe her "gun totin" days. It was really funny to see her reaction when a reporter asked her when the last time she fired a gun and what kind was it, she flew off the handle! If she were guniune, she could have anwsered the question. Just another example of the queen trying to be everything to everybody. Whatever, she is a political joke. Too bad PA won't put an end to this mess. Ohio didn't see her for what she is, Texas did, and we don't hear about that, do we CNN.

Clinton is politics as usual. I think she has shown that she is willing to do anything to win especially since she put out the new ad using the bitter comment and taking it out of context. First sniper fire, then the hospital story, and now misrepresenting the facts…again she shows that she can't be trusted to be straight forward.

I think we all have known that no matter what Hillary will take Pennsylvania. Out of the last few states, she will also with Indiana, Kentucky, Westvirginia. Obama will win Guam, North Carolina, Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota. Puerto Rico is kind of a toss up but it doesnt really matter. Obama has the math, the money , the time, and the unwaivering support of millions on his side!!! Obama will win in the end, no matter what, Hillary cant stop him, she is just getting in the way. I don't understand how she can still see a way for her to win this, it is over and it has been. Hillary you lose, better luck next time.

Obama Richardson 08!!!

Bet ODrama's feeling a bit bitter now.

And this is news because???? Maybe journalists and poll takers should quit their day jobs as unqualified psychics and wait to see what happens on election day.

I swear I could pluck my head full of hair out one hair at a time. Are they missing a few french fries from their happy meal? How on earth can they not see her for what she really is? A lying, cheating, manipulative backbiting sloth with only her best interest in mind. She is cold and calculated and wants nothing to change. That is of course why she is still in there, she is fighting for her next 109 million.

People I am begging…do your homework. Get out there and look at the facts. She and Bill have raped this country of its jobs and integrity and it will only get worse if she gets voted back into the white house.

God help us if that happens.

OBAMA 08

She still does not get the message, still does not get it.
She can't hurt Obama no matter what! Her addiction to power blinded her.

Don't be supprised if you see her sleeping at the entrance of the White House day and night after Obama is elected President Of The United State Of America. They will need strong security to keep her out.

Shots for everyone!

and Obama has a 20 pt lead over Clinton in NC

Let's see. Ed Rendell is making sure this Kerfuffle gets airtime in PA…the same Ed Rendell that essentially called rural whites in PA bigoted when he said they'd have trouble voting for a black man?

How is that not condescending?

Wasn't Obama refuting that very sentiment (the idea that a black man couldn't get votes in these areas) when he said the bigger issue is that rural whites would be more likely to vote on second amendment and abortion issues than the economy?

Why am I not seeing this being reported?

Its like they don't see her for what she is….

I mean…does her healthcare plan also include illegals…(unknown)

Does she want to give licenses to illegal aliens like when she said she supported then Governor Spitzer? (unknown)

Was she on the wrong side of virtually every issue from Iraq to trade deals with China (chalk that up to "experience") –

You have to ask yourselves PA….why would you even consider voting for her….when you corner (both) Hillary supporters….they will always say the exact same thing…"we need a woman in the White House" – perhaps this is true….but not Hillary…never Hillary…ever

I can't wait till TUES the 22nd and Obama shocks the world when he wins PA I don't believe any of these Polls .

I hope Hillary's "kitchen sink" ends up sinking her campaign to the bottom of the ocean.

Go Obama 08′..I don't care if Hillary win P.A. on April 22nd. Let her win this state..She still have no chance to win a nominee. Obama is WAY ahead of her. I have a big faith in Obama.

CNN–"Clinton gains on Obama"…….but what you really say in the article is that she holds a 6 pt lead, that the bitter stuff made no difference, and you fail to note that her lead is DOWN from 20 pts not too long ago.

Nice job.

hillary supporter/// wow how about them apples\\
We dont want liers….. she is a good choice but she is not the best choice

The best choice is OBAMA
Some White America just cant stand to see that a Mixed collered man will be the one in power…get over it
You all are raciest …. im a White man from Mississippi and i know because i here the racial comments towards Obama all the time…

He is the best MAN for the JOB

Obama 08

Voters of Pennsylvania:

If you like the last eight years, vote for John McCain.

If you want a fighter who does not know when to throw in the towel, vote for Hillary Clinton. After all, you will get two Clintons for the cost of one.

If you want a President who is dignified, honest, intelligent and can say the word "nuclear" and does not represent the status quo, then vote for Barack Obama.

Pennsylvanians, you have the next four years of this country in your hands on April 22. Vote your wallets and jobs! I know you will make the right choice.

That's pretty much the same margin that was published last week (6 point lead), I don't see any gain for Hillary anywhere….
All I know is come April 22nd, we'll see some surprise, and trust me, this will be the end for Ms Clinton

This is because some people in PA are saying ' i am upset with obama because the media and billary tell me i should be', but the rest of them are thinking 'yes, i am pretty bitter, he is spot on'.

HILL YEAH!

Go Hillary!

She should have always been there. The Dem's have wasted all chance of being Elected. The Party will almost fall apart after this…
Be lucky if it survives, ever revives again…

All I can say is that Hillary Clinton is the right choice and the GOP knowns that, that is why they attack her with every little thing but at the end she will show them what she is made of. Their plans won't work because they want her out of the way so as to destroy any other person DNC produce.

Hillary '08

poll unchanged,ha ha ha obama,obama obama,in your face all you obama haters watch how this will backfire.

Good News for Obama

After bad coverage for the past couple of days and down by only 6

Great News for Obama

This state is designed for Hillary and she ONLY up by 6?

Bad News for the Clinton Camp

Surely the smart folks of Pennsylvania can understand from his own words that Obama is very negative on less-than-rich people. Better be careful with your votes! Obama, nor anyone else, can ever make everyone happy. If people are "bitter", what they need is an attitude adjustment where they can figure out how to make their lives better, and a president cannot do that for them –no president.

Is Hillary swiftboating Obama?

Come on, Pennsylvania….you can't be THAT blind as to the true nature of Hillary Clinton. PLEASE do the rest of America a favor on Tuesday and send the scandal-plagued Clintons PACKING. None of the rest of America wants the ugly drama to continue with these two selfish, untrustworthy ego-maniacs. PLEASE END IT FOR US ALL!!!

There you have it that is exactly what Sen Clinton wanted she saw that he numbers were dropping like crazy and if she lost PA there was no logical course for her to go on so she threw a little mud and might hold him off from winning in PA but she will not will by double digits and anything less is a failure. Lets see how much further she falls by next Tuesday. Also I wonder about the poll included in this poll of polls the one that in every states she has lost has shone her with wide margin leads almost like it is a poll being run by Clinton supporters would not surprise me but if you take that pool out of the math it is a dead heat!

I would not vote for this woman if she paid me.
Her campaign gets uglier by the day, my respect for her is zero.
She makes me ashamed to be a baby boomer.

Hmmm. Clinton was leading by 20 points now she is down to a 6 point lead. A gain of two points hardly seems significant.

Today's Gallup Poll shows Obama leads by 10 points in the national Democratic poll.

Great………she should be.

Shame on Obama after he insulted the people of Pennsylvania.

We do not need a president who slams the people.

And Obama will do or say anyuthing to be in the news.

Hillary 08

In other words, her vitriolic attacks have not worked. Rural America is more intelligent that she thinks …

And what will tomorrows numbers show. Who really cares. It is the vote at the polls that count not on the phone. If people base their vote on what the polls say…well they should not be voting.

Get informed people and make up your own mind! This statement scares a lot of politicians.

Bittergate, and all she can get is one or two lousy points?

I guess people aren't always so easily swayed by mere repetition after all, are they Hillary?

Kudos to the majority of the Pennsylvanians for resisting the media barrage on the ridiculously blown out of proportion (and simultaneously correct) bitter comment!
