If I had a liberal media behind me all day long I would get the nomination.You don't have to be a genius to figure this out . The elite media does not accept a woman for president. It could be white, green, black, blond, smart or stupid. They play the gender card. The women in this country can be mother, wife, attorney, first lady, Senator but not a president. This shows me that United States of America, the model of democracy for the whole world, will NEVER accept any woman for the higher position. And the America Women are so submissive to this idea that they will vote for…..

Clinton will not come close in NC and she is in a fight to hold on to what should have been an easy win PA. Come on Obama supports in PA; let's end this right now by suprising everyone and handing Obama a victory on April 22nd!

People forget that most of the polls survey 'likely voters' and these are people who have voted in several previous elections. As a result most polls ignor newly registered voters who are expected to overwhelmingly support Obama.

INOTC (If Not Obama Then Clinton) – Let's not hand the Reps an election we should easily win.

Debate, Debate, Debate – just too much. Let's focus on the issues instead of dragging on for some cheap publicity.

Democrats need time to recoop in order to defeat McCain in November.

Wrap this thing up for God's sake.

Why vote for someone that was born with a gold spoon in their mouth. If you all complain about the rich, then why vote for some one born rich? OB was born like us. Clintion is a big lie and the Black community isnt standing behind her. Repbulicans will vote for her, then when it Hillary vs McCain, McCain wins!! Why they know Barack will walk all up and down McCain again, and again, and again.

Vote for someone with a Gold spoon in their mouth just dont complain when the 3rd bush term starts. If McCain wins Gas will it $6 bucks his second year.

Hillary Clinton in her spin against Barack Obama is appealing to the elitist who obvious do not know who God is. STOP IT ALREADY Please do not listen to such low down duty spin from Clinton McCann and Romney they all speak a forky tongue to wheel you into their evil web spin. It has become obvious that these three do not have any common decency or principles Look at Romney he spent some 60 Million of his own money and didn't even get to first base, he would do better if he just keep his mouth closed and be neutral I believe I could of done as well as he did without spending any money. They are all in the backward court high on themself and the pathetic thing is that they are so out of it they don't even reconignize what evil has fallen upon them. They are simply dead to right and wrong. putting themselves high on the pedestal for the great fall. Serve them and all like them right for they have earned it all. Again Barack Obama is the best of them all and all the people who follow behind that which is evil will have to stand before God. Let not you heart be troubled if you believe in God believe also in me. Do unto to others as you wish them do unto you. I beg of you in prayer please,please do not fall prey to the evil spin that is put before you, God has sent us a man who have demonstrated he have the vision and know how to bring people together in a way that is good, please take a good honest look at your self go for that which is mostly in your best interest. OBAMA BABY!!!!!!08

Hi you all this is I your leader, I wanted to thank you for your support and unrelentless negative talk about the Clintons, now don't let them bamboozie you, you just keep on trashing her and demand that she gets out of the race, cause this is starting to cost alot of money. Can we trash the Clintons so more people can hate them, yes we can now remember hope is on the way, just get her!!! thank you and goodnight

At first it was OH, TEXAS, ETC.. now it is PA… gosh PA,, she dumped you very quickly. Now it is NC, Hillary is just trying to get the numbers down in NC because she knows she is not going to win by much in PA if she wins at all.. blow her out in NC … she will have to get packin then.. oh ps dont take any furniture this time Hillary……

gary April 18th, 2008 7:44 pm ET

NO DOUBT N.C. WILL GO O.B.'S WAY. BIAS MEN AND MAJORITY ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN. WHAT A BIG JOKE. AMERICA VOTES FOR AN UNKNOWN CANIDATE. THAT SHOWS YOU HOW NAIVE PEOPLE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY.

Sir….. I'm native american, And my wife is of irish decent… It's not just african americans…. It's the entire world, Not just here in the states…. I see you here a lot…. And there no way you can hand pick through all the comments and not see that the whole world is watching this election.

It's not about race…. It's about hard working people wanting thier american dream back…

My 8 year old nephew is smart enugh to figure out Obama is the choice for his future,get past his skin tone and his muslim sounding name and realize he is the real deal,quit making lame excuses people….BAMA 08…..if she was realy ducking sniper fire,we'd have heard about it then

Some black folks will vote for Obama no matter what.

Yes ……. We………Can………. in……. North Carolina..

Yes……..We………….Can……….. In……… Montana on June 3rd..

Yes………..We…….Can………… in …….NOVEMBER

Barack the Vote!!!!

I would rather re-elect Bush for a third term then have Obama or Hilary be President

Hillary really is from the Twilight Zone !

Hillary will do in North Carolina as she did in South Carolina as soon as she sees that she is really losing she will be out of there on a fast plane she did not even stay around long enough to tell the people there thanks for their votes.She is already trying to play her pitiful roll.While one member of her staff went ot Canada last week you haven't heard that being discussed in the media.She is still saying she has 35 years of experience I guess she has gone from forgetful to amnesia.And while she is talking of Obama getting out of the kitchen if he can't stand the heat ,I suppose she was in there to long when Bill was there and thats why he had so much freedom to do as he pleased with the White House interns .Hillary should try discussing policies more and stop acting like she has a reservation for the oval office.

The only upset that a Hillary win in NC would bring is
an UPSET Country and Democratic Party that Clinton's STILL want back in the White House!
Just stop it already!
You had your 8 years.
Now it's time to say bye bye, Hillary & Bill!

Hillary, will win by a larger margin then the polls show, just like she did in NH, MA, NJ and so on. All these states had Obama way ahead and he lost by large margins. HGillary will win PA and IN and close the gap in NC……Carter endorses Obama need I say more…this country is in very big trouble if he gets the nomination because you will then definately have another Republican in th WH and the republicans know this. As far as some of these endorsements for Obama please, they are looking for a politcal appointment…Richardson is looking for the VP spot which is so obvious…These people were made becasue of the Clinton presidency and the success of the clinton administration, otherwise you would not even know who these people are which I would suspect most of the obama supporters don't….they don't even know about there own candidate….HOW SAD…………….GO HILLARY 08

Hillary is not a "come from behind" candidate. She was apparently a "shoe-in" for the nod. Listen, I will vote Democrat either way this turns out, but come on….Hillary needs to get at least one stance straight during the primaries. Are you or Obama complaining about media treatment? Do you support NAFTA? Were you or were you not the front runner at one point? I have no doubt she is a good politician…..but maybe that's the problem. She's a liar and a bad person.

He's too much of a coward to debate her. Nuff said.

Seriously who cares about NC..

PA and Ohio are the most imp states to win GE

bye bye NOBAMA!

Hey, Obamamorons,

Objects in the rear view mirror are larger than they seem.

Good bye Barrack, the heat is on, you are cracking and the truth about your shady connections will sink you.

"Hope," "Change." HOW? Wake up and smell the reality!

You can't fit the people of NC into neat little categories, no matter what the media says. It's a diverse state and Senator Obama will win big here. I am so proud of all the North Carolinians who are registering to vote for the first time and proud of our state for seeing through the negative campaigning and representing positive change in government.

I WILL BE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT "upset" BY VOTING FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON…

—N.C. Voter

He will NOT go "all the way." If he's selected, he will no NOWHERE!

Whatever it takes! Quitters never succeed. NEVER!

Clinton and Experience O8!

Here's the big story, she has to win the remaining states by 65% just to get within 2 points of B.O., and you can FORGET florida and Mich..cause it will be over before that, so just sit back and enjoy the barbq… cause Hillary is cooked.

Only YOU have the guts, experience, intelligence, perseverance, and knowledge to lead our country forward! Never mind about the "sheep mentality" of Obamarama!

He's a very, very little man — who contributed very, very little!

I know yet ANOTHER debate would bring money to whatever local station airs it down there…..but c'mon……NO ONE want to hear this same rhetoric over and over again.
Barack wants to campaign….he wants to spend time there to MEET the people and LISTEN to them…..Hillary wants to debate because……she likes to debate.
She's a debater….she thrives on battle. Not good.
Barack isn't about that….he's about listening and acting.
ENOUGH STUPID DEBATES!!!!!!!!!!!

I will NEVER, EVER vote for Obama. He's just and "empty suit," as the current U.S. Senate described his record there.

You're the best!

I hope the hard working good women and men of North Carolina take a good hard look at the candidates and make a statement to vote for the most experienced, best candidate of all three running for President and vote for Hillary Clinton. Make history vote this woman into the White House we will have leadership that will change the world for the better.

Is it really, again, about "the state's Democratic cocktail of African-American voters"? Not about issues — and Hillary's continually SPELLED OUT programs — NO — again about the African American vote! How sad! So now we're deciding the election on an "African-Americn "cocktail"? How very, very significant to our country's success!

FrankSZ April 18th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Wait, she is already talking about NC? What happened to PA?

Isn't this like someone who looses every game and keep saying, "wait until the next one" ?

If USA would have a 100 states she wouldn't stop, even if she would be down to the 99th one.

I have a suggestion: Get out of the D-party and form a new one called the "Clintonites". See how far you go with that one.
******************************************

frank SZ

congratulations, you are another BARACK BITTER BLOGGERS.

WE COULD HEAR YOUR BITTERNESS IN YOUR WORDS.
REMEMBER FRANK., WORDS ARE JUST WORDS?

HOW ABOUT BITTERNESS?

Isn't it IRONIC??
According to former Pres. Bill Clinton, 'SAVVY' people vote for Hillary.. while people who know Bill and Hillary support OBAMA..

Now we know what a mess you're in.. What with the Messia, Obama. What happened in 2001, and the Twin Tower's… America, and the rest's illusions of the World. They'r all locked into one 10yr Period…
Where were you in September 2001????

REMEMBER HILARYS LIES SAID DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE:

1. SNIPER FIRE=DIRECT AND DELIBERATE LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE-HE STILL GOES AROUND AND SAID SHE IS OLD AND TIRED SO THATS WHY THE MISTAKE=ANOTHER LIE TO SUPPORT AN EARLIER LIE
2. HOSPITAL STORY ABOUT WOMEN THAT DIED=TURNED OUT TO BE FALSE YET SHE WENT AROUND THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT HER HEALTH CARE PLAN WITH THIS MISTRUTH
3. BILL CLINTON LIED ABOUT MONICA LEWINSKY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HE SAYS ORAL SEX IS NOT SEX, THAT WAS HIS EXCUSE.
4. TRY TO APPEAR AS THE POPULIST AND YET SUPPORTED NAFTA WITH HER HUSBAND WHO SIGNED IT.
5. TRYING TO SAY OBAMA IS ELITIST=ANOTHER LIE SHE KNOWS ITS NOT TRUE.

NOW COMPARE THIS TO THE SILLY "BITTER" COMMENT. THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

THIS TIME WE CAUGHT HER, IMAGINE HOW MANY TIMES SHE HAS LIED AND WAS NOT CAUGHT.

SHE REPEATED IT SO MANY TIMES. TRIED TO DENY IT, UNTIL THE TAPE CAME OUT.

THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE, BECAUSE ITS A DIRECT LIE. HOW CAN YOU TRUST HER, A LYING PRESIDENT?

WHEN WILL YOU AMERICAN PEOPLE WAKE UP?????

WHY DONT MEN WANT A WOMAN????????sexist

Clinton complains that Obama needs to "toughen up", I say to you Hillary don't transfer the weaknesses that you have for your husband on the campaign trail. Tell Bill about it, Obama is not your husband. Get a life with Bill, not with voters. I can understand your anger because I had the same problems you had with a husband, but it was me who "toughen up" on my own, not with the husband that caused the problem. Hillary has a serious problem, and it ain't Obama.

a bunch of bitter old dems like riech obama …its a man thing

Obama will win NC because NC got screwed over by the Clinton administration by the 90's, and because all the voters here are tired of being written off as "unimportant" or in some way less than "genuine democrats" because we're not voting for her. Instead of describing us as demographics (african americans and educated voters, which, yeah, we are), how about looking at the fact that we just happen to think Obama is the better candidate? Before John Edwards dropped out, he was leading in NC, with Clinton and Obama roughly tied. People here aren't voting by demographic, they're voting for the person who will do the best job for us as President.

We are *also* voting for the candidate who is most likely to help our "downticket" races in the fall. Regardless of how the rest of the country sees us, NC is a true "purple" state, and the right Democratic candidate can help expand our Congressional delegation, help us replace Liddy Dole in the Senate, and – believe it – turn our state "blue" in the Presidential election, too. Clinton offers us NONE of those possibilities. She will polarize support for Republican candidates here, and will hurt all democrats running for office. But Obama will help all the NC Dems, and he also stands a very good chance of defeating McCain here in the fall, too.

So please stop telling us that NC is voting on our demographics, or because we're some kind of Obama "cultists." NC voters are supporting Obama in such great numbers because we are smart and rational, and it's only too clear that he is the best choice for our state and our country.

Pa. here….45 years as a democrat…vote american vote HILLARY

Hillary 08 dont believe obama lies

Dear Luke-il,

And you, apparently, never heard about 'British English'. It's spelled REALISE.

Get some education, before talking about "empty suits", politics and spelling

The Biggest upset of Eight Years.. Century? You need to, Go back to school….. Century, minus 92yrs ….

Hillary 2008!

You go girl….You rock! HIllary will win. I have no doubt about that.

NO bama bama!

Clinton's compaing is running on the life support supplied by Republicans…Republicans are desperately trying to keep Hillary in the race so that she'll dig her own grave and McCrane will then claim that as "economic progress"….

so a caucus of say like 50.000 people who voted in washington is a popular vote,, wow, that few for so other many,,, he wins caucus after caucus after , u get it,, less than 2 percent of a caucus state votes, so whom might be getting the popular vote,,he will win nc ,, does any 1 remember the last time we voted democratic,, i do i live here in nc,,, nov goes red ,,, has since 1976,, so let him win,, he will not in nov 08… vote with your mind america,, wake up b4 its too late,, hillary 4 the wise and the hopeful,, look to your preacher on sunday if you want obama, vote 4 hillary if you want a leader,, gregg bosworth in pinehurst nc, thank you

The Sun Shines Down the Same on Me & You

Wow, the ugly never stops on this blog. We have two great candidates to choose from and we are fighting like cats and dogs. I have my favorite but I am sick of the hatred I see on the blogs. Both campaigns have strong arguments to why they should get the nomination. The popular vote that separates them is around .04%. Plus the popular vote is not how the primary/causus system works. So, the way I see it both sides are going to scream the other camp "
stole" the nomination. And the DNC has alot of blame in this process.

Hillary is supposed to win Pennsylvania. She was supposed to win in by double digits, at one point early on by 30, and now she is down to 5, and could lose the state because she is out of touch with the real people. Those would be the ones who have lost their jobs, medical insurance, homes and cars and are "BITTER". Those people need to go to the polls and vote for their only chance, OBAMA! And for those fools who decide not to vote for the Democratic platform can simply do without health insurance and eventually their homes. To think one would not be bitter with our government's forgeting these people, but our goverment is there to support the big business' even though they have created this situation for the home owners is ridiculous!

CNN WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO MENTION OF CLINTON PICKING UP 3 SUPER DELEGATES TODAY.

Hillary will say or do anything to win….I wouldn't put it past her to have Obama bumped off. Thank God we finally have someone worth voting for, instead of just voting against the other person running. Thank you Barack for running the best campaign that I have ever seen. God Bless you Barack, and God Bless these United States of America. Let's be proud once again to be American.

Clinton-who?
Obama-what?
I'm votin' for da man who's gonna occupy dat country in de middeast. cuz we's needs gas.

Obama is as in any spech well prepared to go after Hillary, but He is the one who is talkative and childish !!!!
I don't see in him Presidential figur !!!! No !!!! to Obama !!!!!

GO !!!!!!! HILLARY !!!!!!!

Hillary is leadership material. Obama is professorial material. You want someone to take on the terrorist and not smile their way through – Hillary is the one. You want action instead of words, words, words – Hillary is the one. You want independence, guts, brains, experience, Hillary is the one. Give me that trash talking, beer guzzling, whiskey shot, gun toting heroine, Hillary is the one. Hillary is the real deal.

When Hillary finally decides to go home….where will she go? Illinois? New York? Arkansas? Washington DC? Pennsylvania?

Will she speak like a yankee? A southerner? An easterner?

She is such a flippin' sham artist and professional liar, that it is hard to figure that one out.

But nonetheless…..please do go home Hillary. America is tired already.

Sorry guys, don't count Hillary out just yet. This woman is a survivor and smart! She deserves to be our President, not Obama. I don't even know what he stands for, but I know HIllary would fight tooth and nail for the American People. Forget all of the other political crap, when it comes down to it, she will get the job done and won't rest until things are right for America. I really truly feel that in my heart. Give her a chance!

susan mo
you are also such a looser she will not win so just stop you crying you sound just like the clintons is it susan or realy is this monica??????

Hillary by all standards human, it would appear that ther is in your game – no shame. You have said from your own mouth that your worthy opponent is capable of leading the country and beating McCain. Why thenare you still tearing at the fiber of the Democratic party?
By yourr own admission, you have sounded the knell for withdrawal. It would seem you do not know how to bow out. Simple! Say, "Senator Obabam it has been quite a challenge trying to prick your tires. They are well insulated. See you in you years! That will give me more time to prepare and gain valued experience. Thanks for all you have done for my early 2012 campaigning." Then depart with Billary and Chelsea.
There will not be a sandwiched Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty! Us Americans may be sentimentalists but not everlasting foolish!

Clinton is such a looooooser all she does is cry cry cry
she will never win the nomination and will probaly never win her senate seat after this in new york, the clintons are just spoiled power hungry mud slinging thugs, and should be kicked out of our party

Sharon Minnesota-

You are seriously one something. Trying reading facts!Obama has picked up 5 superdelegates in the past 2 days. He is down by what 15 or so superdelegates. He was down by 30+ a few months ago. SHE IS NOT WINNING IN POPULAR VOTE OR STATES WON! Get your head out of Hillary's butt. She may win PA but not by much I guarantee it. They can poll adults with home phones all they want to….dont underestimate people like me (22 years old) who cannot be polled because we have cell phones not home phones. The movement in Pittsburgh for Barack is overwhelming.

ALL ALONE….I have swayed my dad to change from Republican to vote Obama. My mom is voting Obama. My Cousin changed from Independent to vote Obama. My 2 brothers. 1 of my best friends and 7 co workers. And besides my parents we are all under 28 years old.

PITTSBURGH PA FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!

I am a huge Obama supporter, but I think it's shameful to see all these alleged Democrats turning on each other.

What's more important, people, ending the war in Iraq or having your favorite personality in the White House?!? Get over it, people!: Vote, Count, then vote Democratic!

End this madness, please.

Kate, Please provide the names of those lobbyists. You don't need to post all 38, just 8 would do. Thanks, it is so important that we stick to the facts.

Folks, let's get a grip. We don't know anything about Obama. We need someone who's going to get us out of the Bush mess, not create another one. His lofty ideas can only work with a pragmatist. It's time for a women to fix things. Give her a chance.

Of course it would be an upset if she wins in NC, but not the biggest. Obama will have a huge upset if he keeps gainingin PA where she was up by double digits.
Im also tired of people complaining about Florida and Michigan. Obama was not on the ballot so he could not even be voted for and both decided not to run in Florida so why would it be counted.

Of course NC will go for Obama. With blacks voting 90% for the black candidate, Hillary can't win southern states on political issues. Most Democrats in southern states are black. She can't change her race in this racist campaign. Of course those same southern states that Obama is winning handily, and gave him the lead in deligates, will vote Republican in the general. Of course many big name politicians are backing Obama so they can secure the black vote for their own political future. Hillary would have been the Democratic nominee until Obama made this a racist campaign and stole the primary. That won't work in the general. Unlike Hillary, the Republicans will not hesitate to fight racism with racism. If Obama wins, the Democratics lose in the general.

why don't you were a flag pin? uh, uh, uh, uh (count 'em)

What is he going to do against McCain in the general election? Maybe they can give him a teleprompter so he can actually hold his own in a debate?

How long will the press continue to think they can decide this race? Just another Hillary slam and another love sonnet to Obama. Let's face it people…if Obama manages to get the nomination, say welcome to President McCain. Obama will not will the general election against anyone, period. I ALWAYS vote democrat and I've decided that if Obama does get the nomination I will have to vote against him and vote for McCain. The idea makes me sick but I see no other choice. Obama is not only an elitist but is FAR from ready to run this country. Where's the experience? I haven't seen nearly enough yet and I've reviewed his credentials again and again. Thanks to the press, we're looking now at at least 4 if not more years of a Republican in the White House. Why can't they stop all this bashing and negative Hillary reporting and let the PEOPLE decide for themselves. So sad, how easily the people of this country are swayed by the talking heads.

Actually when Barack beats Annie in PA it will be the upset.

Did you ever see the Monty Python scene in which a hapless knight battles to a completely limbless state, and still pitifully calls out challenges and insults as the victor move on? Mrs. Clinton must finally see her situation for what it is, abd walk away with her dignity while she still can.

I started as a semi-Hillary supporter because I thought, because I am a woman, I "should" support her. To anyone reading this, especially if you are undecided, please DO NOT FALL for her spin, her politics, her inauthentic self. We have a rare opportunity to elect a man of the finest intelligence, of real moral character, who has good policies for all Americans and plans to make them a reality in the lives of all. Obama is the President of the people, for the people and will stand with the people to bring our great nation to a refreshingly "new place in the 21st century" — The Clintons did some very good things in the 90's, but truthfully it wasn't all good and done by them. The economy is very cyclical and parts of it are largely out of the control of the President. You have to look at policy, and leadership and I hope all undecided people, and anyone reading this who is already decided, really thinks about what kind of opportunity we have before us — it's time for a new politics in Washington. Do not go for more of the same old, same old by supporting Clinton. It's not that she's horrible — she isn't, we simply have a better choice. Obama 08.

The only true surprise is the alleged (crowned) nominee of the democratic party has been kicked in many state elections and is trailing with no hope of catching up at this point…now that is an upset. And please knock the crap off on Michigan and Florida votes not being counted since they broke the rules that set up long before the election, but I guess people tend to forget about that fact. And as I recall…one candidate wasn't on the ballot, i.e, in Michigan.

And lastly, all those little states do add up not just winning the big ones.

Clinton people…its over. Sure, you're having fun posting this ridiculousness, much of it grossly distorted.

Its funny how the supporters of a candidate tend to behave similar to their candidate.
Clinton supporters post inaccurate numbers, distortions, and "name calling" on a regular basis.
They believe Michigan's delegates should be counted even though the primary would then have been held under false pretense.

Please, folks, when Clinton doesn't win 75% of the vote in Pennsylvania and gets even closer to the realm of impossibility, start pressuring your candidate to end her run. As it stands, she needs nearly every SuperDelegate in order to win. Meanwhile, she's bleeding SuperDel's.

Clinton continues to make a fool of herself. Clinton can say whatever she wants to say. The bottom line is people do not trust her. After this mess, the people of NY will not want her back. I can't blame them. She made a bunch of false promises there too.

AMERICA NEEDS HILLARY. RIGHT. AMERICA NEEDS HILLARY TO START TELLING THE TRUTH. SHE HAS NOW PICKED ON ONE OF THE STRONGEST DEM. ORG. MOVEON.ORG. AFTER TELLING THEM THEY WERE DOING GOOD WORK A YEAR AGO NOW SHE'S SAYING THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY HER. HRC WILL BE VERY LUCKY TO WIN PENN. I THINK IT WILL BE VERY CLOSE. MORNING JOE, WHAT A JOKE, "WE ARE FOR HILLARY AND WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOW'S ABOUT IT. THIS CLOWN TREATS MIKA B. LIKE CRAP ON THAT SHOW AND SHE JUST SITS THEIR AND TAKES IT, HE TALKS ABOUT WRIGHT MORE THAN HANNITY. TRIES TO SAY OBAMA WONT FIGHT BACK AND HE WALKS OFF A SHOW AFTER MADOW MADE HIM LOOK LIKE A FOOL. WIMP.

STOP, STOP!!! OBAMA all the way. He's been a sitting bull and he's not stooping to her level. Just what we need for America!

If she talks like a Republican,
acts like a Republican,
looks like a Republican,
has no ethics like a Republican,
and lies like a Republican……

Does the term "When pigs fly!" mean anything to ya?
Not gonna happen- period.

Biggest upset of the Century indeed — Obama winning the Presidency.

At the rate he is imploding, he will be lucky to get his senate seat back.

Hillary '08

Take the train? Nah, we can walk along the tracks being laid by Obamas poor performances.

God may be wearing pj's but he ain't sleeping. And lying lips are an obomination unto the Lord. Hillary is evil, lying, and coniving and she will never get back into that white house.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is part of the reason that Hillary will have a tough time in NC because the voters are educated. If Hillary fears educated voters then her campaign is really in trouble.

Count MICHIGAN and FLORIDA for the sake of Democracy.

Howard Dean should be fired, he is a failure. He should go back to being a Gyno!

Anderson, why are you makimg a big deal out of Robert Reich, he isn;t even a super delegate and the big story is Hillary gained three real super delegates today. Why not report that?

Honestly people. I understand the whole thing about thinking Obama is a "change" we need. BUT is he the RIGHT change we NEED? I come from a small community and attend a rather small church NOTHING like the HUGE church Obama does. But, we all still talk about sermons or things that go in our church. Do you honestly believe, even tho he says he wasn't in church, (but also wants us to believe he is a weekly church go-erand very involved with the church as well as his family) that he didn't speak to ANYONE in the congregation about the vile remarks his FRIEND, FAMILY ADVISOR, AND PASTOR made? Correct me if I am wrong, when Wright made those comments, wasn't he IN office as a senator? Representing the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? The same America that Wright blamed for 9/11?? How in the hell do you NOT hear that from your fellow parishoners and friends? especially if you are soooo involved in that church. And WHY would you want your children to listen to such crap? The same country you preach you and your family owe so much to? I'm sorry, you don't respect, befriend, listen to someone like that and NOT believe what he's preaching. And if you don't, you distance yourself from that person. We had a priest who said some very ignorant things about some parishoners in our church. And you know what? A bunch of us were offended by his remarks and changed churches until he left. We now have a wonderful caring priest who Loves God and this country AND all people. He sees no-one differently and does NOT think America caused 9/11. Come on people, step out of your box and think things thru. Do we honestly want someone like that leading our country?

Hey Obama Supporters…what's he paying you? A penney per post?
Because, really…I cant think of one good reason to elect this man..Let's see, he attends a racist and anti-American church (but, you all make excuses and turn a blind eye), He aligns himself with crooks and former terrorists (but, that's ok too!), He basically says that small town people are so bitter that they turn to guns, religion and racisim (but, really what he's trying to say is that we are so stupid that we cant think of anything else to vent our frustrations), and He has a wife who has said she has NEVER been proud of this country, until now! (But, you'll excuse that too!), What has he truly accomplished? Can you name something really life changing for the people of this country? I bet you cant……sooooo, stop drinking the kool-aid and stop living in his Fantasy world!
Hillary '08

What???? Another debate???? Isn't 21 MORE THAN SUFFICIENT? (or is it 22?)

If people still have not made up their minds who to support or know the positions of each candidate by the over 20 debates that have ALREADY been nationally and internationally televised, plus all the information on their respective positions on the important issues that matter to the American people from the official websites of the candidates, plus all the news stories (biased or not, do your own research), then America is in deep trouble!

The "debates" are becoming a national entertainment, especially when non-issues are considered "topics to discuss, debate & inform" such as the ABC sponsored "debate".

Hillary is hoping to win North Carolina but she is about 3-4 points only in PA's latest Polls .

I guess Pennsylvania will not be a big win so she's moving on to say North Carolina is the important State to win.

Then if she loses her supporters will say its not that important.

Obama will win big in North Carolina and maybe even upset her in Pennsylvania.

What happened to a big win in PA?

Not Happening and Obama will pick up alot of delegates in both States.

Obama 08/12

sharon,

Mich and Fl broke the rules all on there own…the delegates will be seated in some form in August…but the actual votes wont count.

I refuse to teach my grandchildren that it is OK to break the rules and then be rewarded.

Both states broke the rules and have NO right in the outcome of this race..period.

Wait, she is already talking about NC? What happened to PA?

Isn't this like someone who looses every game and keep saying, "wait until the next one" ?

If USA would have a 100 states she wouldn't stop, even if she would be down to the 99th one.

I have a suggestion: Get out of the D-party and form a new one called the "Clintonites". See how far you go with that one.

I'm tired of hearing about Hillary Clinton's so-called "experience" when dealing with this country's problems.

What experience has Hillary had being president?

Almost as valid as her under sniper fire.

The Truth: Take this. If Obama wins the presidency he better be sure he is well protected because we have had only white people as our president.. And there may be people out there just waiting for that. JFK once said he wasn't going to hide from the public because if someone wants you bad enough they will get you sooner or later. And if he doesn't get the nomination will the blacks riot and tear up the area's because he lost? That't their way of life. If they don't get what they want there goes the neighborhood.

When Hillary starts wearing her hair like the Texas FLDS women I'll vote for her.

Hey Smitty, you need to do something like get the Pope's endorsrnent, pay $1000 per person to vote for clintion, and to get Bush and Rumsfeid to endorse Obama. Happy dreans to you.

HILLARY WILL WIN PA…..TEXAS HERE I HAVE SO MUCH FAITH IN HILLARY CAN YOU OBAMA IS A JOKE, A VETERAN HAS TO GIVE HIM AN AMERICAN FLAG TO WEAR..WHERE IS IT? YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN..HE IS FAKE…IF WE NEED SOMEONE WITH TRAINING OBAMA IS IT…IF YOU WANT SOME ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING HILLARY IT IS…..

It won't happen, keep dreaming you Hitleryites, she is done. does she always wear those stupid pants suits, she looks pathetic.

There will be more news concerning nafta. This time the truth comes out. A very high rankig Clinton official was the one who told Canada that it was just political talk, not to worry about it. A name was given this time. I do know it was not Penn. Were was Nafta and Penn during the debate? This Independent is leaning more and more towards Obama, even if I am a typical white person and of the age that Bill seems to think is going to carry his wife to the election.

Oboma is full of hot air and will say anything to go his way. Hillary 08. We don't need a want to be and never will be a M.L.K.

With Senator Obama's refusal to debate in NC and with the demographics in his favor, he's definitely taken us for granted. I hope Senator Clinton's voters will come out in force.

unknown, eh?
you got the inter-web, you obviously know who Obama is.
if you dont know by now, then are you really trying?
by NOT knowing your candidates, you are the one doing yourself the injustice.
seems like that staement shows how naive you are.
good luck

dems, it's time to stop fighting with each other. don't you think the repubs are loving this? let's work smarter and get unified so we can take back the white house in the GE.

I'm not voting for arrogant, spoiled and empty puppet Obama.

NC's urban areas have large black populatons that will vote along the racial lines much like SC. There are enough left leaning Yankees here to swing Obama's way in the primary.

IN THE GENERAL – FORGET THE DEM PARTY

It will be over on Tuesday. They need to prepare a conceeding speech.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Obama "starts very strong here," an advantage owed to the state's Democratic cocktail of African-American voters and affluent, educated professionals concentrated around the Raleigh-Durham area."

———–

Translation: There aren't enough gullible, backwoods idiots in NC for Hillary to even come close to winning.

I wonder what that says about PA…. oops.

I am tired of Clinton and her aides false optimism.They poke jokes at hope yet their campaign is basking on it with all the odds against them.

"if you count michigan and florida…"

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
good argument, almost woke up to read it all…
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I can honestly say I am sick to death of this 'Primary'. Every day that it drags on and allows the Republicans to run an actual Presidential Campaign while this idiocy continues is another day that the Democrats don't have to put together a platform to defeat McCain.

And I think that's Hillary's goal actually. If she can't be President she'll drag it out until the Democrats have no hope of victory and then say " I told you so" in 4 years.

freshflavor, it's people like you that make it impossible for me and many others to support Obama. You say that people with education and intelligence support Obama, and the rest of the ignorant dems support Clinton, well I've got a college degree and I support Clinton, and I won't be supporting Obama in the general. Keep insulting the rest of us, and good luck in the general, you can't win without us, so don't burn to many bridges. Your idea of hope and change needs some work, you seem more about being petty and mean spirited.

IF BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA'S BAGGAGE CARRIES INTO NORTH CAROLINA BECAUSE OF THE "BITTER" COMMENTS OF BARACK AND HIS WIFE, A HILLARY VICTORY THERE WOULD BE THE BIGGEST UPSET INDEED.. JOHN EDWARDS ENDORSEMENT
WOULD OF COURSE BE OF THE GREATEST HELP, BUT HE IS VERY SMART NOT TO HAVE ENDORSED EITHER CANDIDATE
UNLIKE THE OTHER TWO AMBITIOUS TURNCOATS RIXHARDSON AND REICH.

I really don't care about the people in North Carolina, I am not from there and certainly glad that my parents didn't settle in those kind of states. States like NC and SC are so messed up they were not aware of the fact that Obama was mixed up with Ayers & Ayres who went underground because of bombing and were wanted by the feds. He was an attorney for a corrupt businessman and I wouldn't doubt that Obama received thousands in cash that was not reported to the IRS. Going to a racist church with an anti-american pastor who hates white people should be enough evidence for whites to vote for Hillary or McCain. However, this generation of college kids who are on drugs and booze themselves like Obama was don't care about America and don't care that deep down inside Obama is really racial against the white people. He does a good job hiding it from the public and they fall hook and ladder in whatever he says. Even if his speeches are copied from RFK whose book he received from a friend of his. What a background for a candidate running for the presidency of this country and a mess this country will be in if he is elected. Because I would not vote for him if that happens I can just sit back and laugh at the fools.

Go Hillary!

I'm a lifelong Democrat but I would never vote for Obama under any circumstances, so if he gets the nomination my vote will go to McCain.

Now, should that happen, my right hand might fall off when I pull the lever for a Republican….but, as I tell myself, a hand is such a very small sacrifice to make for the good of my country.

No Obamination in the Presidency!

To all of you Obama supporters, if you can't take the negative then get out of the game and let Real candiate – Hillary begin her fight for the Presidency instead of a wanna be – boy.

I'm just wondering if it would be possible for an Obama supporter to post a comment without name calling or hurling insults. If you are part of the politics of hope and change, I want none of it. Hope and change must mean different things to people, because the hate and name calling I see from the Obama supporters makes me ashamed to be a Democrat.

To all those overly sensitive folks who claim they were offended by Obama's bitter remarks, he was correct. The GOP have become experts on taking our livelyhoods (jobs) away and point fingers at the liberals and Dems by blaming them for being anti-god, pro-choice, anti-school vouchers, anti-gun, ect…They have been using (12yrs) these things that people do care about as wedge issues all the while doing nothing about turning our manufacturing towns into rust belts or fixing our healthcare.. He may have not used the best words to articulate this message, but his message was spot on. So don't be bitter at Obama for pointing this out, he want's you to know that these con-men don't deserve our votes or confidence. We need to unite as a party. If you don't like Hillary or Obama and you just can't vote for them, write in your candidate..McCain doesn't deserve your vote because he is more of the same no matter how many times he flip flops..He is trying to pull the same stunt Reagan did with the Dems in 80 and you see where the Reagan revolution has gotten us today. Not to mention the horrible joke he told a GOP meeting about Chelsea and her parentage.. He doesn't deserve one Dem vote.

In the news today, Hillary Clinton recieved three endorsements from super delegates: Congresswoman Betty Sutton, Former New Jersey Governor, James Florio, Former New Jersey Governor Brendan Byrne

Six months ago we had very favorable openion of Mrs. Clinton and we as democrates liked president Clinton very much. But, after watching Clintons for last 2 months, there is no way we can vote for Mrs. Clinton. It is amazing that the Clintons are not able to see that majority of Americans dislike them. President Clinton can make a name in history by endorsing Obama, Obam is the movement.

YES YES YES MEANS "YES WE CAN"

GO OBAMA

You can call the Hillary and her supporters dumb, Fred, but I bet we can spell realize correctly! Oh, and Barack as well.

Go Hillary-these republicans posting on here are way too obvious!

Rise Hillary Rise??? She's not capable of it! She brings herself and this country DOWN by her tactics. It's really too bad, because she's a pretty smart lady in some ways, just not about politics, specifically loyalty to her fellow Democrats. Should McCain beat Obama in the fall, you can place a huge part of the blame on Hillary. She wants it SO bad that she doesn't give a hoot about the country.
If she would only leave the stage with some dignity….

Clinton supporters, when Senator Clinton accepts inevitable defeat and urges you to vote Obama, will you then still consider voting McCain? Even when the candidtae you so vehemently support begs you not to?

Clinton will continue to do great work in the Senate and definitely will back Obama wholeheartedly. Obama will sweep McCain in November by a landslide. We will finally have a president who is universally respected.

"gary April 18th, 2008 7:44 pm ET wrote: NO DOUBT N.C. WILL GO O.B.'S WAY. BIAS MEN AND MAJORITY ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN. WHAT A BIG JOKE. AMERICA VOTES FOR AN UNKNOWN CANIDATE. THAT SHOWS YOU HOW NAIVE PEOPLE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY."

Thanks, Gary. The only problems with your arguments are: (1) the largest African-American voting segment are women; (2) I didn't receive the memo that the African-American vote was something to be despised, minimalized and jeered at (I guess the Clinton Camp forgot to copy us on it after our historically 30% democratic share elected her husband to the presidency twice); (3) Clinton, as the household name candidate, is very much known. Before you start foaming at the mouth with delight, I suggest checking the national polls to gauge what the overall electorate "knows" about her and how that is working out for her in terms of electability; and (4) Your Eau de Clinton "scent" eminates through my computer screen, starting with your overzealous use of capital letters and ending with your penchant for poor spelling, grammar, and incomplete sentences.

A final thought, Gary–this message was brought to you by one of those "laughable" black voters and unless the Emancipation Proclamation and the Civil Rights Voting Act have been repealed absent my knowledge, my vote is just as relevant and powerful as yours.

Congratulations on your efforts to desecrate the democratic process!!

I hear ya Sharon, GO HILLARY.

There you go-record numbers of REPUBLICANS are voting for Obama-and then will switch back to McCain in November. Doesn't anyone care that this will mean a Republican win in Nov.? They think he is beatable…ignore the polls-we need Hillary to win in November!

It is amazing that people think that Dick Cheney, Condi Rice or Hillary Clinton have any intelligence in their fingers. Get real and get an education.

I still remember how rude she was. And she lied too much. What can you do if you can't trust what she says? She does not deserve to be there. Obama 2008!

Wake Island?? That was lost and won again, in 1942? This Election is not of that era… More to do with losing a Country, than Victory in the Pacific….

God I hope they're not hinting at an Edwards endorsement…

No way!

Most polls show that blacks voted for Obama. Do we call that they are racist, no because you will be called racist. Can they call you a racist, yes…

But if the voters look beyond race, I think Hillary will win in North Carolina!!

Hillary is the best!! North Carolina do the right thing. Look who is the best candidate in November!!!

Hillary!!! She knows her stuff!!

Back to the previous article about Reich, Where the hell is the loyalty ?
When Hillary gets elected, she should pay back all these back turning friends and repay the favors, ie Richardson, Kennedy's and the rest of the turncoats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you have the slightest bit of loyalty in your bones. Did you forget what these people did for this country. With friends like you who needs enemies.

Yes, it would be the upset of the century…..it would also be the biggest fantasy of the century too. (laughing hysterically)

Right now, it looks like Hillary might loose Pennsylvania, Indiana, and will definately loose NC, ND, and Oregon.

Would someone tell me why she doesn't just quit now and save us all the grief??

OBAMA '08……PEACE '09

The Clintons can't lead, they can't follow and they can't get out of the way. Someone should get them hearing aids so they can hear "GET OUT OF TOWN"

PLEASE make us proud folks in NC and PA!!!! Help bring an end to this implosion of the Democratic Party. Give BO a strong vote of approval so the Democrats can begin the healing process.
The dirty, mudslinging will come back to haunt us Democrats this fall if the race continues throughout the summer.

PA and NC when these votes are counted I expect
Mr Barack H. Obama to be the Democrats presumptive nominee.
I am Hoping Mrs Hillary R. Clinton has the good grace to retire from this race and give her and Bills full support to the Next President of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
BARACK H. OBAMA

hillary is as dead as that duck she claimed she shot ! oops that was sniper fire duck north carolina.

Don't worry Hill- Take it from this NC voter, we are too smart to fall for you!

Obama '08

Another thing the mainstream media refuses to cover because it just so happens to be good new for Clinton – former New Jersey Governors Jim Florio and Brendan Byrne pledged their support to Hillary Clinton today, after being chosen Thursday as add-on superdelegates. Their show of support comes the same day US Rep. Betty Sutton announced she too would support Clinton as a superdelegate.

Three superdelegates in one day. But all the press can say is the SDs are moving toward Obama. Apparently not ALL of them are moving that way.

This great news!!!!!!

Go Obama 08′

LETS SEE SEN.OBAMA HAS TURNED HIS BACK ON HIS GRANDMOTHER HIS PASTOR, FARRAKHAN, AYERS TONY REZKO REFUSED INVITATIONS TO NEW ORLEANS AND MEMPHIS DISSING THE BLACK COMMUNITY. I THINK THE VOTERS ARE STARTING TO SEE THE PATERN. NOW I NEED YOU, NOW I DON'T. I THINK THE HONEST VOTERS SAW IN THE LAST DEBATE IT WAS NOT THE FORMAT BUT HIS INABILLITY TO GIVE TRUTHFUL CREDIBLE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT MADE HIM LOOK BAD WHY HE CONTINUES TO DENY THINGS HE SAID OR DID IS BEYOND ME THEY HAVE ALL BEEN RESEARCHED AND VERIFIED SOME WE SAW AND HEARD OURSELVES THE MORE OPORTUNITY THE PUBLIC HAVE TO SEE HIM WITHOUT A SCRIPT TO READ FROM THE BETTER CLINTONS CHANCE TO BEAT HIM

When Obama got Oprah's support everyone talked. Now the polls suggest distrust of Hillary and her character. Do you know that the famous Maya Angelou who is most admired by Oprah is supporting Hillary and she even introduced her at a live event in North Carolina today. Just imagine. Maya would not have thrown her support behind Hillary if she did not have confidence and trust in Hillary's character.

You must be a fighter to be President of United States, so that means elect Hillary Clinton, because Obama is weak and not ready.

Superdelegates get it right-Hillary is electable and Obama isn't electable. Hillary 08 or a mistake

Indiana we need you to vote for Hillary. It will take all of us to over take Obama and put Hillary in the White House. We must do that or we will elect McCain. Indiana you are very important to this election, Help us so that the following states can make Hillary President.

North Carolina don't let Obama take you for granted. Your vote is as important as anyones vote and the Hillary camp would love to include you in our count. You are a valueable state so be took for granted. Hillary will fight for you and for your vote,

Hillary 08 or a big MISTAKE.

It would be the second biggest upset, Clinton.

The Pennsylvania upset (your loss of a 20 point lead) was the first.

I'd ask you to bow out while you had some dignity left, but that point is LONG gone.

The biggest upset is in the making right now. Say goodnight Hillary!

MD in CT: You accused Senator Clinton of having a pastor who molested a seven-year-old girl. It took me less than 30 seconds to Google the name of the pastor and find out that he has been called "a former Clinton pastor" because he was a pastor in the town of Clinton, NY (named for George Clinton, first governor of the state of NY). There is no connection whatsoever between the man you wrote about and either Senator Clinton or President Clinton. You are unbelievably stupid.

If your voting for a candidate due to their age, gender or color then you should not be voting. You need to close your eyes & listen to what is going on. It should not matter who celebs. are voting for or is better looking. I have not heard any solutions from Obama he just states the obvious of what is wrong with this country, he does not believe in america, how can anyone vote for someone who goes to a church that preaches hate, does not have anything to do with our flag until scandal breaks out. its seems everyone turns a blind eye to everything negative about this man. He just says what his advisers tell him to say, just like all the other politicians running for office, I think the debate last night proved that when he didn't have the questions in advance for his advisors to write the answers for him. Wonder if he writes he own speeches(probably not). Wake up people they all lie to get what they want. Yes even your god Obama. Lets face it anyone who can bad mouth their own Grandmother & turn his back on her after she raised him can turn his back on anyone & he supposedly loves his Grandmother.

After Obama's less than stellar performance in the most recent debate I'm not surprised he doesn't want to debate in NC. He does best given his inspirational sermons, where no one can question him. He crumbles under pressure and then tries to brush it off the next day as a trivia event. Character matters and if you believe that Obama knew nothing about Rev. Wright's inflammatory comments then you should educate yourself a little about the TUCC. Go to their website.

Obama…..the empty promises of change. The over used statement "old politics". His elitist comments his shady connections, the questions about his patriotism….we can go on and on. He is fortunate he has so many people brainwashed. His followers don't care what he does, good or bad, they love him. I don't get it.

What is a Midge?

I am voting for Hillary because I would like a president that has experienced pressure under fire – running down the tarmac in Bosnia ducking bullets. I am so impressed with her soul searching honesty.
NOT!!! – I am actually disgusted. I was once placed in the unfortunate situation of being very close to an actual shooting. The fear that grips you before you fall for cover is one that will never ever leave you. Trust me when I say this – it takes a psychotic mind to stand in front of a camera and tell millions of people such a blatant lie.
Misspoke = Blatant Liar

Hillary just comes off as disingenuous,,here in N Carolina and anywhere else.

Quote
Over 67,000 new African-American voters in North Carolina have registered over the same time …unquote

And there in lies your answer……….

Can we afford a pathological liar in the WH? Would she lie to world leaders? Can we afford to take the chance? She has intentionally lied to America and, when caught, just blew it off. Can we afford to have a pathological liar in the WH? This is the biggest issue with Hillary….she simply cannot be trusted.

Why is it they keep telling us that "affluent, educated professionals" tend to vote for Obama, and not for Clinton, like that's a bad thing? Hillary not being able to draw that group seems to be a negative for her, as they represent a sizable segment of the American public.

Some polls separate out African-American voters as an entity based entirely on race, not taking into account that many are affluent, educated professionals. The Clintons have prided themselves on their ability to reach minority voters in all economic ranges. If that's true, African-American voters in North Carolina should also be within reach.

Sometimes this campaign reminds me of a civil war. Enough of the divide and conquer mentality. We need to come together to find solutions to the very real and disturbing issues in our country while we still can. We need a leader of substance.

Obama 2008! Si se puede!

Pennsylvania loss of less than 10 points for Barack would be win of the Century. He, however, will not stoop to negative campaigning, thus respecting our intelligence for figuring out what's really happening. Thank you, Barack. Looking forward to a great four years.

Attention Obama supporters. The Titanic is boarding. Reserve your deck chair now.

God Bless the wonderful people in North Carolina.

Make us proud. Vote Barack Obama and put an end tothis. Hillary can't tell the truth and she is deceitful and has an a 58% dishonet and untrustworthy rating. We must have change and someone to help the people with gasoline prices, jobs, the housing market and taxes.

Another Reputlican voting for Barack Obama and proud of it and proud of him! I'm making another donation to help Barack in NC.

Fort Worth, TEXAS

Hillary PEOPLE, Take one primary at a time, OK? Go ahead and win Pennsylvania, enjoy the win and move on to lose in N.C. That's just the way it is meant to be. An upset, is probably not in the cards..

Why would Obama want to put himself through that tortuous debate process again? Number 1, it was stupid, the questions were useless, the result was not positive for really, either of the candidates OR the party and it just keeps helping the Republicans.

They have done enough debates, Obama just needs to campaign and be out there for people to get to know. Hillary is the only one who has the potential to benefit from any further debates. So give it up!

Hey, Obama supporters. You don't know this (unless you are one of the bullies) but Obama supporters have stolen several states with their hate and intimidation tactics. You can deny it all you want but those of you who have attended Caucuses know they are NOT democratic to say the least. Rules were broken, doors locked and Hillary supporters getting spat upon. NASTY group you are. That is precisely why this independent will vote for McCain over Obama. No, not out of spite but because McCain is a true hero and true American to the blood. This democratic primary season has been a disgrace.
And Fresh Flower (that sounds like an intelligent person) – there are smart, educated people for each and every candidate. Too bad you are so blinded to think all Hillary supporters are dumb and Obama supporters are smart. Grow up.

Well George Bush won North Carolina. Since Hillary has the same views, maybe they'll go for her too.

Or maybe they'll want a change. We'll see…

Travesty! Be it on your shoulder's… Then try and dust it off, like the idiot Obama… A LIve of saving for white Folk, Wasted on the Black's. That think Religion is Food….

Ace Smith, what a loon. Barack Obama has campaigned heavier and talked to more people in NC and therefore has much larger support than Hillary could ever hope for. Ace Smith sounds like a desperate man.

Yes Indeed!
A debate in NC would be a grand idea!
Bill and Chelsea Clinton could be the moderators!
They could entertain questions from random, typical Americans…like Vernon Jordan….like Lanny Davis…like Paul Begala!

Watch out folks! Hillary is shifting the goal post in case she looses Pen.

Its all about Indiana at this point. Pa for her, NC for him. If he wins Indy its over. If she does, on we go…

Hillary is going to get trounced in NC. She is deluding herself. Barack Obama will win by double digits like he did in Mississippi and Wyoming. Hillary needs to face reality very soon. She sounds scary.

North Caroline if you really want to vote for Obama , fine. Before you do though, have you really checked him out. Read: humanevents.com articles by John Batchelor regarding Obama relationships with the Chicago bunch.

I fail to see the point in Clinton even staying in this anymore. She needs a huge, huge majority of pledged delegates in every remaining contest(as in she needs to do better than she's expected to do in PA in every remaining state) in order to catch up there, and she's all of 20-30 superdelegates ahead. She's lucky nowadays to get 2 superdelegates in a week while Obama gets a good 10 or so in that same timeframe. I think that if superdelegates heed Dean's call to decide sooner rather than later, if Obama wins even 35-40% of them the contest is his to lose. At this point he needs less than 50% of the remaining delegates to win while Hillary needs over 60%, and with every superdelegate that switches from her to uncommitted or Obama and every contest where she loses, that 60% goes up while Obama's 40something % goes down.

The century is ONLY 8 years old… what is he talking about?

Luke I can spell and I am bright enough to state the Hillary is full of lies. Smoke, mirrors and being negative does not win. How is my spelling ?

NC is not a big state, Hillary herself said that little states don't count, what's important is gib states, so why is she so wooried about her victory in NC since this little state doesn't count ?

She'd better pull her forces in PA, that's the remaining biggest state she must win by a double digit since she started over there with a double lead over Obama.

Why suddenly NC would be an amzing victory, the "Century Victory" for her when she sasy little states don't count.

When John Edwards left the race, it wasn't because he wanted to leave, it was because he knew that he couldn't win anymore, the 2 remaining candidates were stronger.

Hillary has to admit herself that Barack has energized the DC party much more than her, people are payning attention to him much more than her. For the god of our party, PA must be her last run, a small victory for her in PA should make her understand that forcing and continuing this race will only be to tear the party down, to lead the democrats to demonizing each other, instead of coming together to win in November with the help of Republicans and Independts.

I know Hillary is smarter than that, I pray that she'll let her heart guide her path, instead of her personal ans self interestq.

The century is only 8 years old, moron.

poor little billary. she thought she just had to put her name of the ballet and the clinton name would get her elected, entitled to it and i do mean entitled. and to play the one who has to fight for it, the underdog. she started like 65% of the vote and along came the lies, the hate, the entitlement attitude, the NAFTA MILLIONS in billarys pocket while they preach against NAFTA????? poor little rich girl who sits in a foxhole tonight defending her country.

signed: a vet and who's dad was so proud of his uniform he was buried in it last year, from a small town, white, archie bunket relatives, and i see another Lincoln from Illinois.

Wishful thanking is always a candidate for hope,expecting the unexpected. Obama will win North Carolina and the Presidency of the United States of America. Hillary should have remained positive. A person drowning will attempt to grasp a straw. It just want work.

Rick N.C.

Gary, you mentioned people voting for an unknown candidate…who the heck was George W. Bush, when he ran for office in 2000? I sure as heck didn't know a whole lot about him.

Even though the small town rural minorities of North Carolina cling to their religion even during hard times, they will forgive Barack for his comments in S..F. and put him ahead of Hillary. There are not enough Angry White Males in North Carolina in the democratic party to save her.

Clintonistas, you mean like Sandanistas and Zapatistas? I love how the supporters of the status quo, the Washington insiders, try and position themselves as this 'insurrgent' campaign, that is fighting this uphill battle as the underdog. Bill Clinton was a two term President. This is his wife, a smart, articulate, conniving and back-stabbing opportunist who will as we have seen do anything, say anything to win, even if it hurts her party's nominee in the fall. There is something more cynical going on here, and perhaps you can see it if you try. The only way that the Clintons get back in the White House is if John McCain wins this election and they (Billary) run against his Vice-President (cause he's not going for two terms) in 2012. If Barack gets in he's going two terms for sure, and that means the end of the dynasty for the Clintons. They know that they are not going to get this nomination. Sam Nunn and other superdelegates are joining Obama's National Security Advisory Team. Google Sam Nunn if you want to know whose really powerful in this country from a political and corporate sense. The Clintons are thinking of themselves first and they are willing to risk four more years of Bush policies to get what they want…those nice evening strolls in the rose garden, with friends.

Only time will tell …….. Just think NC, you guys will be decide the upset of the century………Vote Hillary get notoriety hahaha

Forget it Hillary. You ain't winning in North Carolina.

Hillary is smart enough to know NC has a lot of Black people. For Obama to lose there would indeed be an upset. The Blacks are for the black guy period. Obama will have to have a white man as a VP if he has any hope of winning in November. All the Blacks in all the states are not enough to win in November.

Ever since the debate it has become quite clear to me that some Americans are just plain threatened by a strong, intelligent, capable female. It seems that people have become quite upset that Senator Clinton upstaged Senator Obama, how dare she. Rather than see that she is a strong candidate they continue to demean and vilify her. Rather than look or listen to what she is offering the American people to help us out of the debacle this administration has put us in we would rather call her a liar, evil, negative. Because she can go toe to toe with Obama and look so sharp and Presidential doing so, the media and racist people are at fault. It's funny because Obama and his supporters have constantly yelled about Senator Clinton acting like she is entitled to the nominiation but in fact it is Obama who seems to feel he should just be given the office, Forget an election, install Obama.

CNN, it would be nice if you post at least one of my post. Thank you.

Hillary you treat people like trash you start becomming trash. Trash talking out of a woman is not apealing. But I guess you got your commenupings. Its called "CARMEN"

These debates are an utter waste of time! How many times do we have to see the same pedantic performance in order to provide Hillary Clinton with free advertising. Now, she's moaning about Obama outspending her in Pennsylvania – maybe its because people are contributing money to his campaign!! Duh!
Every primary is an "important " one for her as the goalposts get moved further and further into the stands.
Wake up, Hillary, the country doesn't need you, doesn't want you and Bill and you should ride off into the sunset.

All right! I've been asking nicely now for weeks. Give me something either has accomplished in the Senate. I'm tired of Obama sniping at Hillary. He needs to do the Wright thing.

I am curious to see what happens after this weekend.

If Hillary doesn't finish in the double-digits in Pennsylvania, will she drop out then?

Or is she going to drag this all the way to the convention?

Like McCain, I think she realizes this is her last shot at it.

After this debacle, no one will even think of nominating her in 2008 or 2012.

I would not be surprised if all the dirt about her that has aired in this process is used against her in NY and a well-funded Republican challenger ousts her from the Senate.

Perhaps upstate NY could finaly emerge from its perpetual depression…

I wonder why all the smart people are for Obama.

Clinton supporters, get a clue. Not all of us Obama fans are teeny boppers in search of a new idol. Most of us are professionals and blessed with a bit of IQ. Call us elitists if you want. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were elitists too then. This country wasn't started by Roseann Barr.

Irish for O'bama! Obama-Gore, Gore-Obama or even Obama-Pelosi '08!

Senator Clinton,

Just tap your heels together and sing along with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

There's no place like home!

Obama 08!!!

When the inexperienced, power-crazy Obama begins to drown this country further than Bush did, we will be all chanting Hillary's name.

That would be fun, wouldn't it?

NC IS FOR OBAMA!!!

Punch and Judy

It's not merely a simple bribe when the president for personal financial gain advances special interests and annoints powerful lobbyists to inform and influence executive orders and decisions. The president, as leader of the party, validates political practices that extend beyond the White House. A stealth machine or a dark cobweb of laws and politics is secured in place to concentrate power in the few, thereby systematizing abuses and reducing the strength of the democratic political process. Voting the wrong president brings about the dis-empowerment of the majority.

A political Punch-and-Judy show to launch Hillary as the puppet president is more than just a ruinous distraction at a time of domestic economic peril and moral bankruptcy abroad, it is the sell-out of American democracy.

DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THAT HILARY SEEMS TO HAVE A GREAT DISDAIN FOR BARRACK??

Politics has always been referred to as dirty. I have witnessed periods of disagreement – but this to me seems personal.

I was originally convinced that Hillary would get my vote. Unfortuately, I noticed that Hillary – more often than any other person – or system attack Barrack for anything – I am talking all the way back to Iowa. To me – she seemed to feel Barrack to be unworthy in general – not just of being in the racem but as a person. I just don't feel any person – regardless of who or what they are or where the have been or where they came from should be treated so disrespectfully. I feel that Hilary has been disrepectful – hateful – unprofessional – and deceitful in her dealings in this race and in her attacks on her opponent. It makes me very sad to say this – and it is so disappointing. If she does not respect him for what ever reason why would she repect anyone who disagrees with her – why would she respect anyone who is different in anyway.

Barrack is not perfect!!!! I do feel he has been more reationary to the attacks and on the defense.

McCain is not perfect!!!! The difference I see with McCain – when he discusses Barrack it seems to be more around the issues than about Barrack as a person.

Gee, Midge…are you really sure about that? I think you might want to reconsider your statement. I fill the age requirement for Hillary…being almost 65. And the gender…since not many men are named Anne…and I hold three Masters' Degrees. And, golly gee, Mr. Marvel, I've supported Barak Obama since the beginning.

Ooooops

Shame on all of the superdelegates support Obama!! Why do you think you are less deserved than this young and unexperienced politician to lead our country? The most important factor is that he is black and the other one is he can lie like no-one sles can. Do you really think he knows how to delieve what he has promised so far? It is all talk!! Shame on all of you have bad mouthed Hilary here as well. Please use the same standards you have judged her on OB. He could not even answered any quesiton the other night with a straight face.

Wow, 8 years into the century and already predicting that this will be bigger than anything that will follow it? I have never been a Clintonite follower, and I gave up cigars long ago.
Obama 08. If Hillary steals this then McCain 08

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS ! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

GO HILLARY == A REAL WORKING HORSE !

HEY OBAMA , GIVE YOUR FINGER TO YOUR " TYPICAL" WHITE
GRANDMA ! OK , GIRLY MAN !

The only upset I see is Hillary when she fails to win PA by the necessary amount that she needs to win in order to make this contest close for the Superdelegates.

Lets face it. She needs to win ALL STATES by 20+ points and we all know that is not going to happen.

North Carolina will go to Barack Obama by double digits. I would not be surprised if they call the state when the polls close.

As a side note, I do wish those of you who support Hillary begin to act like adults. That goes for some members of the Obama supporters as well. It really is childish.

I hope CNN posts this comment for all to see.

To Pamela NC40 – I certainly wouldn't be bragging about voting for a man with terrorist freinds and I certainly would not be taking my children along to watch me contribute to the downfall of the United States of America. How ya gonna explain that to your babies when they have no free country to grow up in?

The "biggest upset of the century" and the nastiest trick on the American people (and, possibly the world) would be electing either McCain or Hillary as President.

She seems to be "lowering expectations" in every single state now

MD in CT,

I could not believe your comment!!!!!!!!!

I checked for myself, thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Folks I cannot believe the temerity of Sen. Clinton, blasting Sen. Obama over and over again, about Rev. Wright, and here we see that the Clinton's Pastor, Rev. Will Procanick is in jail for molesting a 7yr old!

Please Pennsylvanians, save us from the Clintons

Since Texas and Ohio, I stopped reading the comments because they were depressing. I don't know why I thought today's comments would be any better. Howard Dean wants a decision by July 1. Why? It appears that supporters on both sides won't be able to reconcile before the general election. Might as well take it to the convention. It won't matter. The democrats are not going to win if supporters of both camps keep spewing hateful rhetoric at one another. Frankly, it ticks me off to read it. I am ashamed of all of it. Take the high road people. This is freaking ridiculous and is going to accomplish nothing. On second thought, it will accomplish a Republican victory in November!!!! Is that what you all want? Another 4 years of Bush policy? Because that is what we are about to have if all this nonsense doesn't stop.

Put your big girl and big boy pants on and start treating one another – and the candidates – with respect in these posts. You are making fools of yourselves and Democrats nationwide.

Go Democrats!!!!!

At the begining of this primary , She looks to me as she was strogle for the American XXI century revolution, but now she is disputing a position at the white house. Goodluck Obama.

all voters and especially the pennsylvania and north carolina need to know that hilary has been quoted as saying the blue collar workers who dont vote for her in the pennsylvania Screw em– they arent that important any way………….

Hillary is a far superior debater. She is ready to president. Obama is absolutely not ready to be President. This NH voter is voting for Hillary in Nov. If Hillary is not the nominee, then I will write her name in on my ballot. I have always voted for the Democratic candidiates but if Clinton is not the nominee then in this general election I will vote her as a write-in candidiate. I am tired of the Democratic party sticking us with loser nominees. Middle America and key swing states are not going to support the liberal candidiate they need someone who is more moderate and who understands and respects their values. I am tired of my party picking the more liberal candidiate without giving consideration to who can actually win the vital swing states (Ohio, Florida, TN, AK, OK, NH, NM, MI, and PA).

Write-in Hillary in Nov. if Obama steals this nomination.

john edwards will endorse hillary 4 days before n.carolina

I'm sure Clinton will be very upset when we're done with her here in NC.

That's not what they mean? Oh well…

Fools for Hillary…for a minute there i thought she was lying to us, but then i remembered she is a comedian on late night t.v.

LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES

Enough Hillary

Go back to your Home in NY or Chicago or Scranton or Arkansas or where ever you always claim to be depending on where your campaigning.

MD,claims,Hillary is the race to collect money from American people! Wow what a bunch of livi reactions.Everyone,even grade fives know Obama has fished in Millions of Dollars from all walks of Americans.When is defeated at the nominations,he(Obama) should return the money to the poor and disadvantaged.the fat cats can afford it.

Dear Hillary Supporters, I understand your love for Hillary and as they say love can be blind sometimes. There are a large number of American people who want to change the face of politics and start focusing on the issues. That's old politics and it has gotten us george bush – focusing on fear, negativity and making empty promises. Unfortunately, this is the only brand of politics that the Clintons know. Yes, they both are very bright, but they lack the vision and integrity to address America's problems. Don't you understand how tied in they are to rich special interest groups? How do you think they accumulated their $109M over 8 years? Yes, books and speaking engagements were a part of it but a large part of it was special deals like the $800,000 for the Colombia deal. They have been involved in scandal after scandal and most importantly, the majority of the American people believe Hillary is dishonest. How can she win an election like that? I even understand wanting to vote for a woman, but there will be another woman who comes along who has not just the knowledge and skills to be president, but the integrity as well. Frankly, I'm tired of all of the negativity and politics as usual and it only goes on because we let it – it works! Let's take this country back and address the major problems that we have so we can secure the future for our family and descendants. Hillary has not been able to manage her campaign. How can she manage the company. If you just say NO, then it will send the message to the Republicans that we will not take their negative politics anymore either. In fact, they need to go to a corner and sit down until they apologize to this country for all of the misery they have caused the American people over the past 8 years – taking our homes, sending our daughters to Iraq to be raped by their commanders, killing our young men in Iraq or sending them home seriously injured and then not providing for their needs. Letting the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Putting people in positions where they have to choose between buying food for their families or gasoline for their cars so they can go to work. This is not the country our forefathers and foremothers founded. We can turn it around if we just stand up and say NO!

Together you stand! And you have never, been together… Divided???

John is the man, To reconcile all division's… Save the Pain, and Vote McCain…

FUTURE HEADLINES THAT WE CAN BELIEVE IN:
NORTH CAROLINA CITIZENS GIVE THE PRIMARY
TO HILLARY R. CLINTON ON A SILVER PLATTER!

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE BITTER BARACK BLOGGER ARE ALL IN FAVOR OF NO MORE DEBATES.

THEIR CANDIDATE DOES SO POORLY IN DEBATES.

IN PREVIOUS DEBATES ALL QUESTIONS WERE FIRST PRESENTED TO HILLARY AND THEN OBAMA HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANDWER THE SAME QUESTION.

HOW EASY IS THAT TO FOLLOW, ANSWERS I AGREE WITH HILLARY OR ELABORATE ON HILLARY'S ANSWER AND MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS YOUR ORIGINAL IDEA.
I COULD JUST IMAGINE HOW HE GOT SUCH HIGH GRADE IN UNIVERSITY.

NOW THAT THE MODERATORS ARE ASKING REVELANT QUESTIONS AND POINTED QUESTIONS HE FALTERS ON HIS RESPONSES, HE STUTTERS AND HE TURNS A BITTER SHADE OF GRAY.

POOR BABY OBAMA, THEY DID NOT PAMPER TO HIS NEEDS,
POOR BABY OBAMA, ALMOST FAINTED WHEN PRESSED FOR AN ANSWER.
POOR BABY OBAMA, WHINED AND DAY AFTER THE DEBATE.
YES, WE UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DO NOT WANT TO DEBATE YOU ARE A WEAK DEBATER AND A WEAK CANDIDATE.

It is obvious that the ability and experience of Sen. Clinton is much better and stronger than those of Obama, a junior Sen. It is difficult to understand why so many still chose Obama. This may indicate that gender discrimination still exists in US.

When presidential election come voters look the character of the candidate
Really Obama didn’t touch the American voters
So Hillary 08

That was not prophetic! It was arrongance. As reported in one of the debates. That is why people don't like you. Hillary is a female version of Bush. Nobody likes him either. How do we expect to get the dollar up with a president no one likes? Pennsylvania do what Texas and the NAFTA liars in Ohio couldn't. How absurd to vote for the woman whose husband signed your woes into law.

Instead of shooting a bird at Hillary and stand whining for days about how unfair it was, Would it not make sense to just answer the questions honestly. If he would answer them, all this would go away, Obama people doesn't it seem funny to you that he won't answer.

Reich's endorsement of Obama is very significant. If yet another Bill Clinton friend and former cabinet member endorses Obama, what does that say? If I have to explain it to you, you are an idiot.

Please use facts. The pastor was from a church in in the town of clinton, NY

Many of the posts show the dire straits of the public education system in america.

OBAMA 08

Obama, please don't waste any more of your time debating Mrs. Clinton, a sadly delusional individual – that's a job for a mental health professional.

Jim,

I agree with you 100%, way too much baggage! The apple does not fall far from the tree.

the notion on living on wishful thinking in the obama supps.is abhorent.Like a dog chasing its tail,the supps end in a quagmire,lick their chomps and look forward to the next day for a glimer of hope;like Mr. Reich endorsing Obama-etc. etc.etc.Like a swollen river,it all melts and ebbs. immediately.A risky way of wasting the brains.Well that is where they are,and where they will be stuck! Wishful thinkingand very little else.Good luck King Obama.It is an uphill task all the way to the top.Meet you there.

Obama knows that Pennsylvania is key to the Democrats winning in November. He simple has not been able to win in any of the key swing states. He has not been able to win any big state. He has outspent Clinton by margins as high as 5 to 1, yet she will still win Pennsylvania. Superdelegates (who are themselves politicians who know how important money is to winning) should realize the significance of Clinton's win in Penn. and other states despite a huge disparity between Obama's lavish spending on ads and her minimal spending on ads.
If Obama cannot win Pennsylvania with all the money he has thrown around then there is something seriously wrong with his campaign and his ability to win the general election in Nov.

I'm from NC, I would put $100 on Hillary not winning that state, its just not her kind of state. 1) Its not exactly a blue collar state. 2) it has a heavy minority population. 3) Obama has the overwhelming majority of the endorsements down there and thats not a good look for Billary..

Hillary Rodham Clinton added a new trio of superdelegates to her tally on Friday.
Two former New Jersey governors, Jim Florio and Brendan Byrne, endorsed Mrs. Clinton last year, but they were only selected to be their state’s add-on delegates Thursday. As such, they have the same voting rights as superdelegates and don’t have to vote with the popular vote winner of their state (although Mrs. Clinton won New Jersey anyway).
Representative Betty Sutton of Ohio also came out in support of Mrs. Clinton. The district she represents is in northeastern Ohio.

Go Hillary! She is all-around the most qualified and experienced candidate. I hate to think of a Presidency with a weaker person in there.
( And that means Obama!)

Until the votes are counted, speculation is still only speculation.
Many people don't tell the truth when they are polled.

Once again, Clinton uses words to create her own imaginary reality. I find it interesting that Obama has been so vehemently criticized for his "bitter" comments when Barber quotes H. Clinton as disparaging poor white voters during her time in her "husband's" White House and even used profanity toward them.

Dear Hillary,

Do everybody a favor, go back to Bosnia, Ireland or whatever.

Zogby tracking poll shows big surge for Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania. Not one mention on MSNBC and CNN. My comments are being sent back to me on my e-mail address and this is the first this has ever happened. I don't undersatnd why? Are any of you Clinton supporters experiencing the same? Go to Salon.Com. This thread has not been pro Clinton, but read the comments now. Nothing like these wouls get through MSNBC and CNN. Here they don't allow you to get too critical of Obama.

I feel good! Like I knew that I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Go Obama! It's great to see a rookie beat the crap out of the Clintons! Let's hope Hillary can stay in long enough to explain to the Americans who have lost thousands of jobs because of her and Bill!
I want to hear Hillary explain what she does with the $$$-millions of dollars they have been paid selling America out! This past week was for Obama but next week is yours Hillary…
Ha, ha,ha,ha,haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hillary needs to take a step back, and do what's right for the country, unfortuately, she cannot. She is driven to be better than her husband, her credability is her talking out of both sides of her mouth. During the debate she said her grandfather was from that state. She keeps harping on the fact that Obama is a so called "elitist", okay, let's check the bank accounts. Hillary like her husband will say and do whatever it takes to be elected. I don't want "the same old generation of politicans", and I'm older than 60… But don't worry I see several books coming out from her as to why she didn't get elected.

Wait a sec…

Did this Clinton staffer actually just say: "Obama has an advantage in
N.C. because people there are educated"? Ponder that one for a bit.

- There are three candidates in the semi-final of the tournament for the "Cammander-in-Chief". for the U.S. That how the intelligent voters look at this election.
- Who gave Obama the right that.. anyone can question, Hillary and McCain anything on any subjects, but not with Obama? I KNOW I DID NOT AS WELL AS MANY INTELLIGENT VOTERS!
- Obama might be the nominee of the Democratic Party dues to the party leaders are so anxious to reclaim the White House. Beware, leaders, you will see a lot of Liberman Democrat in November! Obama might win the battles but not the war!

Five months ago, Obama was like a side show on the way to Hillary's coronation. Today it will be the biggest upset of the century if she wins NC!!! Who are the fooling?

You go Sharon Minnesota. You are so right. The Obama supporters are so naive it is almost ridiculous. Just look at the comments above from Obama supporters. Kind of lacking in anything; no substance; just like Obama himself. He is NOT the second coming for crying out loud. Wake up people. "Just a thought" and "junebug", I am with you. Hillary Clinton should be the nominee. She is the only one who can win against John McCain. Senator Obama doesn't care about states she has won (especially Florida and Michigan). Now he wants to run away from another debate? He lost the last one and he will lose another. He can't take the heat at all. He is playing the sympathy card and it doesn't fool me for one second. What an arrogant and spoiled person he is. Senator Obama is just talk talk talk. Time for him to go away. HILLARY 08!!!!!!

Let's see. Barry won big in Alabama, Louisiana, Virgina and some other southern states. North Carolina's majority democrats are of the same persuation as the southern states he won.

Think any dummy can predict an overwhelming victory for Barry based on his base of voters in the south.

On the other hand, McCain has double digit leads in those states.

She will NOT win now that she has thrown Moveon and the citizens that are (ovver 3 million of them) under the BUS!!!!

It would be an upset alright, BUT………Even if Hillary Clinton won ALL of the remaining contests by 20% points, she would still have less delegates than Barack Obama. Yeah Hillary supporters, this really is over!!!

wish she would snap out of her sleep !!
Hubby Bill should take her away on a vacation to Disney World !!

Sorry… have to disagree.. my vote would go to the Giants upsetting the Patriots in the SB this year…. THAT was the biggest upset of the century -

This is disgusting folks,

Here we go again, she is now ready to brush off the voters in PA, where she started out with a huge double digit lead, now they don't really matter, because she is hoping to win North Carolina. What is wrong with her strategists? Do they think the voters are ignorant? Please, please, folks save "us" (yes this affects the rest of the world) from this woman!!!

to it may concern we are very sick of those negative and silly dabates it time to stick to the facts we the people here in north carolina do not believe anything hillary clinton says and you really don;t either

To Sharon Minnesota, who claimed that "Hillary was ahead in super delegates by 22 and she picked up 2 more today. After the primaries, she will be way ahead in both delegates, super delegates and popular votes."

Sharon, I believe that Obama picked up 6 superdelegates in the same time Hillary picked up the 2 you mentioned.

And for Hillary to catch up to Obama's overall lead, she'll have to win every remaining primary with 65% of the vote. She's only done that once in this nomination race, and it was in Arkansas.

We need to start being realistic here – Hillary will not win the nomination. If you want a Democrat in the White House, then we need to start rallying behind the candidate who will be the overwhelmingly likely nominee, and that is Obama.

It doesn't matter if you knock the lead to single digits. Hillary, you need 2/3rds of the remaining pledge delegates just to tie! Depending on the district, that means getting 70-85% of the votes-and that's not going to happen.

Anything less then 75% in any state, including Penn, is loss for you.

NC will go Obama's way and for Hillary's camp to speculate a win there before PA is overestimating. Talk about ego.

Never thought about Clinton, never ever.

always strong for Obama.

Hey MD in CT
that pastor was not HIllarys he's from Clinton NY! DUH!
look it up
Obama supporters lying again making stuff up.
Just like Obama in his ads when he claims he doesn't take money from lobbyists (at least 38 come to mind)
LIAR!
Where are you CNN you allow this crap on here?

Dear Fred. You're not bright enough to know how to spell "realize". Barack is an empty suit.

Go home, Hillary

Hillary wont win NC especially now with the moveon.org situation breaking news all on the Huffington post. Seems like Hillary had her own back dorr meetings recently with Canada as well.. All the good stuff comes out on Fridays but this should be huge news well before NC and even PA come Tuesday.. Do your research people please. If you need links just go to the Obama site and ask as this will be major news come Monday morning..

Obama 08

All of you people who say such stupid things about Senator Clinton are really sad. She has more intelligence in her little finger then you have in your whole body.

Sitting Bull Obama???? No…. The Rampaging Bull, and the Matador McCain. Be prepared.. For the Bull Fight, in November. El Torro??? Thje Bull, alway's dies in the end. You have to have, a little more Spunk than Obama was born with….

All of you folks whooping and hollering for these two goobers take a breath before you hyperventilate. Stay calm and post a list of their congressional accomplishments. I think making the list will calm you. It will take no time at all.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY.

Sharon: What are you smoking. I guess you are not good at Math

We hope the people of beautiful North Carolina will consider what Clinton did…….how he insulted the people of Pennsylvania, and then 'made light of it', which is basically laughing in their faces. With all her lies

We do need a President OBAMA.

First thought about Clinton, but not now.

Now strongly for Barack OBAMA.

"If you count Michigan and Florida right now, you can pack up old Obama's samsonite bags right now and send him back to Chicago."

Wishful thinking!!! Some people sure live in Lala Land!

This is almost laughable. Obama will win NC and we are doing what we can to make sure of that! Dream on!

but yet dropping 20 points in Pennsylvania is yeah… whatever. Hay at least I won… Obama was down 20 or so points just a couple weeks ago.. So, by their own logic, if Obama wins Pennsylvania, wouldn't that be the biggest upset of the century…

PS, NC polls aren't moving…

A vote for Obama is a vote for invasion of the Unied States by ———————————– for you to understand this —————————— it is very easy if you know what Former president Carter is doing presenly then you have the rihgt answers. Obama will start from where Carter ended it from and his will be more worse as Carter is endorsing him for the same purpose of dialoging with——————————————————————————.GOD SAVE THIS AMERICA FROM OBAMA AND CARTER AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will not say what say what ——————————- is because CNN as a result of their being bias will not post my comments

Hillary was up over 20 points in PA only weeks ago and Obama managed to close the gap. Obama is still holding a double digit in NC and Hillary can't seem to make a dent.

Do yourselves a favor and check on Hillary's track record. It's full of expertise on scandals and shady politics. Carbon copy of Bush's administration. She's got everyone fooled.

North Carolina would be the biggest upset of the century. IF we were still thinking about you, but we're not. We have other things to think about, and guess what Hillary, they don't include your sorry, selfish-self.

Vote big in North Carolina for Barack Obama. Go to the polls and come back big for America.

Obama 08

OBAMA 08 …. DONE DEAL

Considering the Clintons are not above cheating on any scale, I wouldn't kiss them off yet. They only too well know you can buy votes, and super delegates are up for sale. Lord knows, it wouldn't be the first time for them…………………………..

Sharon what the heck are you talking about. She gain 2 superdelegates and he gain 8. Over the course of 4 months he has gain many more supers than she. He is ahead in delegates and the popular vote. Please know the facts before typing. Average polls have Obama leading in NC by about 14%. Huge upset, ya think. Why is he even speaking about this. Lets just end this now, for the parties sake. Question to Billary supporters, give me a heavy weight superdelegate in the last month you have garnered. Even members of your husbands administration don't like you or are in your corner. I only hope you can keep your congressional seat.

Flag pins, abortion, and "God Bless America". That is all I care about and I will vote for any candidate that is on the right side of these. I don't care how stupid or corrupt they are.

Obama 08

you know what else would be the biggest upset of the century?

OBAMA in PA!!!! c'mon Pennsylvania, bring it home!!

I hope Obama takes 90 delegates from this state. Whatever momentum Clinton will gain from Pennsylvania will be erased by the landslide victory Obama will have. The spin from the Clinton camp doesnt change people minds only prove the facts: Clinton's supporters always try to move the goal post in their favor. They were the first one who stated Obama only is winning by narrow margins and didnt give him credit for his wins. Then on top of that they count wins base on popular vote, but the party doesnt usually elect on popular vote. You need delegates to win the nomination. They claim Clinton won Ohio and Texas.. Well, Obama won Texas–Popular vote doesnt mean anything delegates are the spades in this card game. The party has been claiming she would win Pennsylvania by double digits. Ok, dont move the goal post. By the way, Obama still leads in Popular vote, states won, and delegates.. Once again, the Clinton camp is making an argument that doesnt count. We need Florida and Michigan to count.. Is that the only way Clinton can win, when Obama's name is not on the ballot(Michigan)? Wake up and smell the roses.. I predict all the superdelegates who are holding office that endorse Clinton will need to find another career after their terms run out.. The unemployment line isnt too friendly nowadays.. Be careful, dont sign your life away. OBAMA forever!!

We hope the people of beautiful North Carolina will consider what Obama did…….how he insulted the people of Pennsylvania, and then 'made light of it', which is basically laughing in their faces.

We do not need a president who insults the people.

First thought about Obama, but not now.

Now strongely for Hillary Clinton.

Sharon Minnesota…you make me laugh. Go Obama!!!

Hopefully the smart people of PA will decide this thing and Hillary will be out of the race so we can all get back to normal!! Of course, if Obama wins PA , the Clintons will move the goal posts to whoever wins NC and/or Indiana. Lose those, it'll be Guam! Lose Guam, it will be whoever can come up with the biggest tall tale to tell the American people will be the nominee–I knew she had a reason for her sniper-lies!!!

Sen. Obama will win the state of North Carolina easily. The demographics of this state are set up simliar to Virginia, and South Carolina. So if he can get at least 50% or more of the white male vote, here in the state, then I would say he would easily win North Carolina by 20 or more points. I just ask the good people of North Carolina to contiune to encourage their friends, and the young people to come out and vote. EVERY VOTES COUNTS.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/CASEY '08

Since the media, including CNN, has harped repeatedly on the "Reverend Issue" as an attack subject against Obama, why has no one
brought up that the Clinton pastor, Rev. William Procanick, is IN JAIL
FOR MOLESTING A 7-YEAR OLD GIRL AND LYING ABOUT? Did they see signs of this when they listed to his sermons on marriage and faithfullness? President Clinton seemed to learn something from his pastor about proper sexcual behavior or are their parallel behavior only coincidental?

They do realize that we are only 8 years into this respective century right?

I find it odd that CNN will post all over its website and other venues who the latest endorser of Obama is, yet you have to do your own journalistic searching to learn of Maya Angelou's recent endorsement of Hillary…honestly if Hillary Clinton is good enough for Maya Angelou she is good enough for me.

When will Americans realize that in the General Election the Republicans already have enough ammunition to destroy Obama, and if he thinks Hillary has been tough on him, just wait and if the Dems are naive enough to elect him as our candidate Obama will be running back to Illinois.

Misty:

NO to Chelsea in 2020.

TOO MUCH CLINTON BAGGAGE. No way she can shed all that.

Just say no.

Hillary thinks she's smarter than everyone else. Therefore she deserves to be president. She has lied, misled, distorted, her way to the second runner-up and she will not finish first.

Her arms are too short to box with God.

Obama 08

Spin all you want Hillary. There are intelligent people in all states of this Union, and they will not be swayed by your version of "toughness."

You can stay in this race to collect money on the back of American people, but that's as far as you will go.

Go Obama!
Skip the debate – cover all of NC and reach out to the people and don't may any mind to Hillary! She's done and gone! It's time for you to focus on Mc Cain! Ha, ha – Hillary doesn't have anyone to play with!!!

As the Ojays sing – "People all aboard — Love train! Don't need no TICKET!

We welcome North Carolina! Hello John Edwards!
Ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaa – where are Hillary's supporters now?
Obama had another great week! Thanks Hillary – every time you go negative on him – you lift him higher!

Looking for clinton to be a leader is a sad reality, Satan is a leader also, he's just not the right leader. I will be glad when hill & bill get out of the political limelight after she lose to Obama.

hillery clinton is a turncoat democrat just like joe lieberman. she used her friends on channel 7 to try to win the debate. I dislike hill & bill & ugly chill. I never have anything nice to say about the arkansas hill billy's.

the biggest upset of the century would probably be the giants beating the patriots, I mean COME ON… Hillary Clinton in North Carolina…. Now that will probably be the biggest LOSS of the century

My Mother switched from Republican to Democrat to vote for Obama.
My Father switched from Republican to Unaffiliated to vote for Obama.
My Husband and I are life long Democrats and are voting for Obama.
We are all voting early, perhaps tomorrow if the rain chases us out of the yard! That way I can take in my school aged kids to watch us vote.

Wait what am I seeing it is as if CNN and Obama are already running away from Pennsylavania after all the millions they have spent there and have finally discovered that they cant win. Once again SHAME ON YOU CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now the obama backers are in the showroom….When they leave
they will have buyers remorse.
Vote wisely, and for the long term. Hillary all the way…..08……………

Talk about a uniter….Barach has huge support from blacks and affluent educated professionals…two ends of the socio-econimic spectrum. Time for the blue collar workers to understand he has their best interests in mind as well.

The biggest upset would be for Obama to win the general election. They don't have caucuses in the general. Little cardboard boxes make a big difference as shown in the other states with regular primaries.

O.K for a debatebut this time on ' Hillary project' that will be ery interesting…

As an AA I love Maya Angelou, but I'm still voting for Barack. So Hillary stop spinning your wheels, it won't work.

Obama 08

No Ace Smith, you are incorrect sir. Barack Obama losing by single digits in PA would be the biggest upset this century.

Stop taking focus off of the upcoming PA election. As you see the double digit PA victory Hillary needs to continue her race start to slip away.

Didn't the PA Governor, a Clinton supporter say a Black man could not win the PA election?

OBAMA '08

Plus, Hillary, you're running behind in the overall game. Unlike Obama, you can't claim a victory from a narrow defeat because you need to seriously close the delegate gap, while he only needs to hold his own.

A small loss in North Carolina gets you nowhere. Even a small victory in North Carolina gets you nowhere.

Hillary, you can run but you can't hide.

No, because she still needs the delegate count. She doesn't have it, she won't get it, so she won't win.

Obama 08

As always, the deck is stacked against the Clintonistas. We're used to that. We're proud and don't ask for quarter. And we know we have the best candidate so we always have a chance.

Hopefully, the people of NC will see through Hillary. She has only herself to blame for all the negative campaigns. Please Hillary and husband, just please go away——even his voice strikes a nerve. The Clinton era was nothing to be proud of. It brought abt NAFTA, Whitewater, Waco, the disaster with Elian. shall I say more.

Although I am an Obama hopefull this is sure getting tiring and wearing thin my patience. I wish someone would talk about the issue the us common folk are concerned with. I have yet to hear anyone speak about that. Is there anyone else that can run?

Hillary, it's pretty much Pennsylvania in reverse.

But while you simply speculate about it, Obama has actually closed a 30 point gap to under 5.

Obama only losing Pennsylvania by single digits will be the biggest upset of this primary season.

When you actually shows signs of closing the gap in the North Carolina polls, rather than just fantasizing about it, get back to me.

Haha isn't it funny that like 80% of educated people vote for Obama. Hmm yes…people with intelligence is an in depth understanding of the political arena know that Obama is a solid choice. People that actually look beyond 30 seconds of Hillarys negative commercials interupting their Everybody Loves Raymond marathon see that Clinton holds no chance in November. People really have to put down the remote and read a book.

The only reason Hillary is still in this race is because of the Rush Limbaugh Republicans going blue and voting for her just to make a complete disaster of the Democratic primary season…solid snake strategy but effective. Kudos.

she just has a wonderful town hall with Maya Angelo and she is really awesome. Some of you that are judging her only on what you hear on the news should go online and research her and learn the facts about Clinton. She really has a lot of great thing to offer this country. RISE HILLARY RISE as Maya Angelo just said….. We are behind you. Hillary has all the important issues covered. She is the one that can take us to the happy place again.

Everything's finer in Carolina. Including the upset of the century.

You know as millions do, that a bunch of empty words cannot make any change unless you know what to do.

Every superdelegate has seen

Hillary 's strong performance in every debate.

On the other hand, they have seen Obama performing poorly when he does not have his outline at hand ( that probably is prepared by his Preacher Mr. Wright) he is "just words" (but unexperienced ones)
Obama offended millions of Americans and even questioned core American values ( gun ownership and faith)

Do you need more reasons to support Hillary?

Hillary – President of the United States of America

We love you Hillary, words cannot deceive us from the fact that you are the best candidate to lead our nation!

I think it's a tad immature and petty for people to vote outside their party if the favored person doesn't win. The Democratic party needs to unite so that the people can take me this country!

BARAK THE VOTE!!!

Hillary all the way……………………08………………………………….

NC needs Hillary for sure.

And America loves a "come from behind" winner. Look at the issues and do the right thing NC. America needs a problem solver who won't quit on her, not change for change's sake. Vote Hillary '08.

Clinton is done, She is not bright enough to realise it.

Yeah, good luck with that guys.

Keep on movin that goal post.

Get it done Hillary America needs you.

Well, except for Bradley's primary success in 2000, Clinton in 1992, Nixon over Humphrey in 1968 … just to name a few.

Wow… she's now trying to downplay her double digit lead in the PA election by saying that Obama is spending more on advertisement.

Of course, it makes sense that he would have to spend more in order to overcome her name recognition given Bill Clinton, her husband, was President of the United States for two terms.

Where's the scientific analyses that are behind her campaign's claim that it would be the biggest upset of the century if she were to win NC?

The bottom line is this. Hillary IS suppose to have a decisive, double digit, WIN in PA. Taking attention off of that will not distract the voters from it.

OBAMA '08

Is Hillary Clinton planning to "WIN" North Carolina because of the Republican switching to Democrat Party and vote for Clinton? Wow!

This should cause all the Democrats to band and vote for Obama unanimously because he will be the party nominee and will be the President in 'O8 and '12.

I have had enough of Bill and Hillary (I will wait for Chelsea in 2020: She is a smart and articulate lady– will be fit for being a President someday).

For Now it is Obama-Obama-Obama!!!!

ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD! ALL BOARD!

TRAIN LEAVING THE STATON!

LAST CALL FOR HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS TO JUMP ON

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

The truth is if Obama wins the Presidency that will be the biggest upset in the Century…because it is amazing where he is given where hes has come from It's the bigger picture that counts so take That!

OB '08

We already won California and New York, so who gives a crap what North Carolina thinks. They aren't even big enough to make an impact. Let's be real, folks. NC ain't that special.

Hillary and Nader 2008.

John Edwards dropped out way too soon.

She's going to be worse off after NC than she was before PA. She's going to lose NC by A LOT more than she wins PA, if she wins it at all, her lead is down to 3-4 points in most of the polls I've seen.

I know we can't win. But who cares? At least we have Nader.

Hillary and Nader.

clinton is a big upset(of the century), shes such a joke

Here we go Again from the Clinton Camp. trying to say Obama is ignoring the NC people… NC will suprise the clinton camp. obama will win by double digits.

NO DOUBT N.C. WILL GO O.B.'S WAY. BIAS MEN AND MAJORITY ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN. WHAT A BIG JOKE. AMERICA VOTES FOR AN UNKNOWN CANIDATE. THAT SHOWS YOU HOW NAIVE PEOPLE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY.

Even those lowered expectations aren't very realistic, but the real story is that you're wasting time on another story about the process of campaigning.

Let's hear about some real issues already.

As I was saying…………….

Hillary was ahead in super delegates by 22 and she picked up 2 more today. After the primaries, she will be way ahead in both delegates, super delegates and popular votes.

If you count Michigan and Florida right now, you can pack up old Obama's samsonite bags right now and send him back to Chicago.

Go Hillary 08

Sounds like someone who expects to lose. Let's hope so.

Wishful thinking. Try winning PA first

OBAMA 08

Whatever…Next.

LOLOLOLOL How many times are we supposed to fall for this?

"If she loses we knew that would happen and that state doesn't count anyway."

At LEAST come up with NEW BS to entertain us with guys!!!

Hillary just go away and take this pitiful example of staff you chose with you.
