CNN

what has this nomination process come to?

as someone has poignantly pointed out, we have become fanatical and so emotionally tied to these candidates that we have forgotten that they are in fact human beings (all inherently flawed). politics is a dirty game....and unfortunately, we have seen probably the ugliest moments in politics in this democratic nomination process. for those that feel obama is a racist and his wife a control freak....clearly you have not looked at them carefully and you rely solely on what you have heard in the media. first of all, how could obama be a racist of all things, be it that he was raised by his white grandmother and mother (wake up people he is bi-racial)? michelle obama is very vocal, agreed....but does that make her any more controlling than HRC was, when Bill ran?

HRC is certainly a viable alternative to McCain, as others have pointed out; however, her tactics during this process have made her less favorable. i am an independent and i firmly believe that a true democrat should maintain the party line regardless of who's nominated. are we looking at policies, or are we basing our opinions of the candidates on soundbites and hersay?

at this juncture we should in fact recognize that his country can no longer afford to be under the reign of bushonomics or a shock and awe foreign policy, which makes a democratic candidate the best choice for the general election. can any one candidate change the political landscape in one term.......most likely not. it took 8 yrs to reverse most of the 12 yrs of the reagan-bush era....certainly GW's won't be reversed in 4. since we have gotten so caught up in the religion aspect of our candidates....let's take the higher road and pray for whomever is elected for '09 that they are truly guided by the God that blesses our country everyday.

What is Tuesday?

Make no mistake HRC is running scared. She knows that any time she puts the negative bs that is in her latetest ad her positve numbers go down nationally. She is already the most disliked candidate in the race. This is a deperate appeal to her base to show up. This an appeal to all the Dems that voted for Bush. This is nothing short of an appeal to FEAR. The people of PA maybe angry but they are not afraid. Rocky aint scarred!!

The Republicans who vote Republican, are hoping that Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. They are ready to jump on her shady history and will join forces to demean her and raise $$$ to keep her from becoming president.

what does it take to get posted on this blog? are my comments not pro obama enough?

I am a lifelong democrat but will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. I cannot and will not ever cast a vote for that swindler Obama. He is trouble.

What's wrong with voting for McCain? What has Bush done? He held the country together when the terrorists attacked on 9/11. He attacked them back in a whole new era of war! He held this country together when it was nearly destroyed, not by th President's actions, but by Congress! John McCain represents a strong America! George Bush represents a strong America! A vote for Democrats is a vote for an unknown, like Hitler was, or a vote for a Monica Lewinski flashback, complete with sniper-fire!

There! I've said my peace! Go, McCain! Thank you, Bush!

Good luck, Wolf. You're a great anchor and a politics expert. If Obama wins, Clinton has no reason to stay in the race, and Obama should act like the nominee and ignore Clinton.

Wolf, everyone knows Clinton is suppose to win Penn, so what is the big surprise; by how much. It doesn't matter by the margin, you and the rest of the media will say what you did in Ohio and Texas. I am not even watching this anymore. I check out things on the web, let it go and get on with my life.

I wish Wolf would have done a better job at calling Terri M. on his inclusion and interpretation of MI and FL in his "voice of the voters" bleating/propoganda-fest on this afternoon's interviews. It is, at least in theory, the reporter's job to keep things accurate and relevant, as opposed to spin. Right?

Please Please Please Pennsylvania, help Obama and let's end Hillary's run once and for all....We need to unite the party and we can only do that by getting rid of Hillary and her negative campaigning....she is disgraceful

Wolf, I would like to suggest that you also report the delegate count between Hillary and Obama as if it was winner take all like the Republicans do, just to see what the results would be. Maybe it would help people make a decision as to who the best candidate would be.

ITS OVER ITS OVER ITS OVER For Obama go back to your Moma!

Hillary 2008!

A long night Wolf, how about a long year!!! The media has created this two "man" Democratic primary race by "pushing" John Edwards out of it!! If Democrats are serious about reclaiming the White House in 2008, Sen. Clinton should drop out if she doesn't win by at least double digits. This will be a repeat of 1980 when Sen. Kennedy took the primary fight with Jimmy Carter all the way to the convention and Ronald Reagan became President.

One thing I have noticed when you read the specs on the polls. It seems to me ( and I could be wrong) but in the very latest Rasmussen poll 58% of the respondents were women and over 80% were white. Only 11 % were under 30 and 50 % were over 50. Is that the overall population dynamics of Pennsylvania? These groups usually favour Clinton, while men, younger voters and African Americans favour Obama. Just wondering if we might be in for a shocker.

Blizt. I think it will be a night in which Hillary will win 57% to 43%
I also want to know if
Gloria Borger, Jack Cafferty, Roland Martin, and about 5 others I can't remember their names are on Obama's payroll
I want to know if anyone of these 3 jerks think Mr Obama's relationship with Wright, Ayes, Rezko are a window into his good judgment

It would be interesting to know why CNN's poll of polls 4/19-20 include
little known SUFFOLK poll taken only on 600 LV(Clinton +10%) instead of the taken at the same dates but on 2338 (!) LV of the much better known Pollster PPP (CLINTON – 9% ???

tHE MORE RELIABLE average QUINNIPIAC / ZOGBY / PPP SHOWS ONLY + 3.33% FOR CLINTON.

The more time extensive average valculated by REAL CLEAR POLITICAS from 4/17-20 shows 5.9% for CLINTON.

TOM

The Dems in PA can help the party by bringing this primary to a quick conclusion. That is, if they love the party and this nation over their support for Hillary. We all know who has the numbers regardless of how long this campaign goes on. Hillary's chances are so small that a vote for her is to encourage the party to continue to suffer under Hillary's need to win at all cost! This is common sense, Hillary does not have the number of (a) pledged delegates and (b) popular votes to continue without making it easy for the Republicans to win the general election.

THE TRUE COLOR OF THE CLINTONS JUST CAME OUT.THEY WANT TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE SO BADLY THAT THEY RE READY TO DO ANYTHG TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL.TO ME,IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A PERSONAL AGENDA FOR THEM(CLINTONS)SHE WANTS TO BREAK THE RECORD TO BE THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES.FOR BILL,HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO FINISH THE JOB HE STARTED(YOUNG GILRS LIKE LEWINSKY ETC).I VE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THIS COUPLE WITH THE WAY THEY RUN THEIR CAMPAIGN,ATTACKING OBAMA WITH SO MUCH HATRED,TURNING THE WHOLE THING INTO JERRY SPRINGER SHOW.
WE CAN ALL SEE THAT OBAMA IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE QUALITY TO UNITE AMERICANS,HE IS A PROBLEM SOLVER ,NOT A DIVIDER, HE MAY NOT HAVE SO MUCH EXPERIENCE,BUT HE SURE WILL HAVE A LOT OF EXPERINCED PPL WORKING WITH HIM.WHEN GOD APPOINTED DAVID OR SOLOMON,THEY WERE VERY YOUNG AND IN-EXPERINCED.BUT GOD GAVE THEM THE WISDOM TO MAKE GOOD JUDGEMENT WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED IN LIFE TO SUCCEED.FOR MCCAIN,HE IS JUST TOO OLD.WHEN THE PHONE RINGS AT 3 AM,HE WILL PICK UP THE TV REMOTE CONTROL INSTEAD OF THE PHONE.HE CANNOT WITHSTAND THE STRESS.ALSO WE DONT NEED ANOTHER BUSH.
SO AMERICANS YOUR BEST BET IS OBAMA.
WE NEED FRESH IDEAS,YOUNG BLOOD,NEW PPL.WE NEED DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
IF YOU ARE A TRUE DEMOCRAT,IF YOUR CANDIDATE LOSES,PLS SUPPORT THE DEM CANDIDATE THAT IS NOMINATED SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THIS REP OUT OF WHITE HOUSE FOR A CHANGE.

It's not the empty promises that Obama speaks that concern me. It is what he does not say that worries me more. we don't know this guy. If he wins, I am a lifelong Democrat voting for McCain !!!!! Stay with a patriot who sacrificed for his country. His wife is always proud to be an America. Michelle is shameful for her comment !!!

Sorry to get off the immediate subject, but we just have to get the attention of CNN & the candidates. The Virgin Islands are suffering in many ways. Our gas prices on St. Thomas are OVER $4.00 per gal. We fight and die in the wars, yet we can not vote in the presidential election. What kind of “Democracy” is that?

You've been talking about McCain's temper but what about Obama's temper? He gave Hillary the finger and it's on youtube.com

We are all in for a long night, but Hillary Clinton's is going to longer if she does not WIN IN PA! But that is Alright, because she made the Quote herself, If you can't stand the Heat Get Out of The Kitchen!

Dorothy
OK

About Hillary Clinton's "Preparedness". You gave attention to Hillary's
attempt to link William Ayers and the weathermen with Obama. But seemed to ignore OBAMA'S quick comeback that it was Bill Clinton who
pardonned some of the other Weathermen. She also "misspoke" on the
comment of Ayers "we didn't do enogh", linking it to 9-11, which it was not. She had not done her homework. Scary!
Also whatever happened to the strange esaggerations about being named after Sir Edmund HIllary, who was unknown at her birth, and did not climb Mt Everst until 6 years later. Or the story about Chelsea being endangerd by the World Trade Center when she was acutally safe several miles away having cofffee with a friend. This person is not presential material.

I wanna know why CNN Hasn't reported on Hillary's lies about Moveon.org?

The interesting thing about Hillary is her delussions of grandeur. She lost the primary elections and she has thrown the kitchen sink at Obama and he has survived. Anything that McCain can say about Obama would pale to the accussations from Hillary and her husband. No one is more mean and small minded than the two of them. Since she tries to ignore mathematics, she still does not understand that she already lost the election.
Manuel

pennsylvania scared of the liar hilary
pennsylvania knows who to vote for we have known ever since bosnia and nafta
we dont vote for untrustworthy candidates
especially when there is absolutely no doubt in our minds
disastraouis campaign
even bigger disaster if she would bet the white house.
clinton were there and was one scandal after the other.
barack obama is pennsylvania

Obama has lost 3 out of the 5 last races, and is expected to lose this fourth one in Pennsylvania to Hillary Clinton too. Clinton is gaining on the popular vote within 0.6% if you count all the states, and there are still 1/5 of the states and territories yet to vote! She just picked up three more Superdelegates and still leads him in that count and in the most important count, the electoral vote (which would actually beat John McCain). This election is far from over!

From "Why Women Shouldn't Vote For Hillary Clinton" by Camille Paglia:

Whatever her official feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark.

In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via her husband's influence – from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a programme for reform.

Hillary has always been a policy wonk, a functionary attuned to bureaucratic process, but she has never shown executive ability, which makes her quest for the presidency problematic. Hillary's disastrous botching of national healthcare reform in 1993 (a project to which her husband rashly appointed her) will live in infamy. Obama may also have limited executive experience, but he has no comparable stain on his record.

Hillary Clinton is shameful and reaches as low as a politician can go. She lies. What kind of leadership does her lie about Bosnian sniper fire show? No leadership.

She is condescending. She wants to win at all cost.

The people of Pennsylvania are smarter than her politics of fear. We have had 8 years of fear with the Bush administration. No more fear. Vote for Barack Obama for real change and true leadership.

Don't be fooled by the Clinton smear machine.

Rick said "Cindy, Clinton had a double digit lead until Obama out spent her 4 to 1. Does that mean that he is buying the election? Do you think that he would have been able to cut into Clintons lead if she had outspent him 4 to 1? Not very likely"

Speaking of spin, Rick, lets set you straight....
Barack cuts into all of Clinton's leads when he campaigns persoinally in a state. He meets people, inspires them gets people to believe and they vote. To use your venacular... ' just see it for what it really is', Rick.

BTW- Hillary is being outspent because she has NO MORE MONEY.
She only has 8 Million left. She owes the other 18 million she received in March. Its easy to outspend the other candidate when their financial support is drying up. But hey, I am just trying to get you to see things 'for what they truly are'

Have a nice day!

Right on, Amy

Uh, today – just a day ahead of the PA primary – seems to be Hillary's day @ CNN.
Sorry guys, it's just obvious.

Vote for EXPERIENCE ! Who has the most exerience? We've had 8 years of inexperience and will live with the effects for years. Let's not promote another 4 years inexperience....

Hillary '08

I think the voters of PA saw the real Obama on ABC with the debate done by CharlesGibson.Their are many questions Americans have about Obama,he said no more debates.What is he afraid of? Is their another Rev. Wright in his closet? I live in Oregon,I do not trust this man.I will voe for Hillary on May 20th.She is not perfect,but she has the experience needed to win in November.

There’s a group of voters out there that Hillary has forgotten, the young. They have been following Obama and talking to each other throughout the US from college to college. Most of them have been schooled on the Clinton ways and the Clinton years in the White House. They are going to vote for Obama largely due to Hillary’s messy campaign and her smear and fear tactics and Obama’s slogan of change.
If Hillary gets the nomination which I really hope she doesn’t her “experience “ will be trumped by John McCain’s. However if Pennsylvania does the right thing and vote for Obama then maybe the Dems have a chance at the White House.

Penn voters will cling their votes and kill this Obama failure!

Mr. Blitzer has many long nights ahead before the Democrat convention.

We could see a historical moment; in that one of the major political parties splits in two. The Democrat party has many factions and that list is long.

I loved the kid that did not pay any attention to this deceiver and bosh candidate!!

Go Penn State!! Destroy this ambitious and supercilious loser!!

How much are the clintons paying you Wolf in sheeps clothing
HOW MUCH.

I don't think you deserve the gift from the POP.

Give it Back.

You constantly trying to ask the Arizona Governor a question that you need to asked Hilary.

How much are you getting from the $109. million. or are you paying you dept.

CNN should look into your dealings with the Clintons.

I can't begin to imagine how people could be so fooled by the Clinton's. The Clinton's are who started all the jobs being lost by incorporating Nafta, they let Bin Laden go when they had the chance to reign him in, and the outrageous scandels that kept rolling in during their reign. It just goes to show that some people are not capable of thinking for themselves, so they go with the status quo.

Dear Republicans: I hope you all are not thinking to vote for Mc Cain do you all whant more American blood in your hands.Let Iraq fix there onw problems we help them enough. An what happend to the republican party didn't they said last election that they would stop abortion. Can we realy aford this war, paid by China.If we ask God bless America we have to do our part too, vote for Hillary.

. . . If Senator Obama is weak, then why is he WINNING?

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a retied teamsters and i give Obama a 100 dollars a month. Why votes always voting for the wrong person. If Obama don't win we will be sorry. Clinton and her peoples don't do nothing but lie.

Why is everyone so excited about a seven point lead? That only means
that Hillary is still far behind in the delegate count, popular vote, number
of states won, and money. This primary is about DELEGATE count.
Hillary has lost. A seven point lead in Pennsylvania is irrelevant.

Let her come to Oregon , we will send a message that even Hillary can understand.

As well we should be. Obama is very presumptuous. He has already nominated himself. It would serve him right if he's left with egg on his face after already counting all of his chickens before they've hatched superdelegates. His depth of arrogance is amazing.

Dear Mr. Blitzer

I do not have yours nor CNN's expertise in political projections nor access to any polling team nor on the outcome of elections. However my sense tells me that no matter who becomes the Democratic Party's nominee, before the end of the voting day in November you will be announcing that the Republican candidate has won with 53% of the vote. That is that and we must learn to live with in....!!!!!!!

As a PA voter, it would be nice for people to let the process take its course instead of making these candidates bow out early. My vote is as important as those in Iowa and New Hampshire. The system sucks and needs to change, we should all vote on the same day and let every state in the country count. Hillary has come far and worked hard and there are many, many of us that support her and feel we should have a choice and not have it made for us!!

Go Hillary – Mercer County Supports You!!

How can you Hillary supporters even claim that she has a chance? Have you read that she is 10 million in debt? What part of that don't you understand? No one is supporting her. Her donors are big wigs who have maxed out.

Ray Charles could see this.

Wolf has had some unbiased moments, but it is true, respectfully Sir, if you are on world stage representing your profession, you should focus reporting the news and staying unbiased. Is that not what real journalism is?

Seriously the two very biased "journalist" on CNN are Rick Sanchez and Campbell Brown. Both make it bluntly apperant that they support HRC. I'm glad Rick Sanchez is not running for any elected position; he's come-off as extremely arrogant.

Let me point out one instance: in an interview with two public elected officials, one for Obama and the other for HRC, he'd ask the question to both; funny that almost in every instance of the interview he was quick to interrupt the Obama supporter arrogantly never allowing him to answer the question, but would be almost silent for the HRC supporter.

[CNN PLEASE POST THIS - PLEASE ADDRESS THESE BIASED. I KEEP TUNING TO YOU INSTEAD OF FOX AND ABC BECAUSE OF BIASED REPORTING]

I'm surprised. I would have figued that Wolf already called it for Hillary even though 0% of the precincts have reported yet. Would be expected at this point in the campaign, having viewed his reporting of the primaries so far...

Wolf,

Hopefully you will be unbiased in your coverage tomorrow. Do not diminsih your self respect even further by being a subtle Hillary supporter, you already sound like it in this article. If Hillary was the one leading in popular vote, delegates and number of States won, this race would be over, but no, it is the black man, so he has to work 4 times as hard to get what you white guys get in a snap. Obama is literally battling on four ends; Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John McCain and the media. This is pure evidence of what us black folks have believed for a long time; a black woman like my self have to work double hard to be at par with a white person while the black man has to work 4 times harder.

For all of you saying 'If Hillary drops out I am voting for McCain".....

You are un-american, selfish and do not deserve the right to vote.
But if you are going to diss the party, then be consistent and just register as republican and get out of our way. You are not democrats, just plain brats.

Let me know who you are so I can be sure to send you a McCain bumper sticker and a shirt.
Since you are willing to sell out your principles because your candidate may lose, be sure to wear that McCain shirt real proud-like.
Good luck squaring your choice with your children who will notice your childish behavior and question why its okay for you to act that way.

Then I can start blaming you when more of our soldiers die and I lose my job and my house. Congratulations, you must be so proud of yourselves. Idiots!

Same ole, same ole! Hillary Clinton is a prime example of what is wrong with politicians. Instead of giving solutions, she uses fear to try and manipulate Americans. I hope and pray that everyone gets this one right and vote for Obama. I voted for her husband twice and will NEVER vote for a CLINTON ever again. If she wins the nomination, I will not vote for her nor will many others that I know. Isn't it time for reconciliation and unity to lift this company up and not continue to tear this great nation apart.

Wanda
Florida

Wolf, we all know that The Hill is not going to step down regardless of how little of a win she gets..,why should she?, he can't get the #'s to clinch.., I'll be watching you at the convention.

I hope that it's a long night. Then, it won't be a victory for Hillary.

It's time to end the drama and to haul the drama queen off the stage. The fat lady has begun to sing and it's sweet, sweet music. If she loses or even comes close to losing in Pennsylvania, perhaps Hillary could also serenade the nation with her favorite tune "Cry me a river."

To all of Hil-lie-ary's supporters:

You are sounding more and more pathetic just like your morally and financially bankrupt candidate. Go put on your big people underwear and come out in the November election with some dignity, brains and an apology for helping to damage the party along with your candidate's Rovian tactics. Oh that's right, you are not Democrats, just Sillary supporters like Richard Mellon Scaife, Man-Baby Coulter and Rush Limbaugh. Good company you keep there, traitors!

CNN is right behind Fox in going down the tubes....the only credible analyst left is Lou Dobbs. Jerko Blitzer monopolixes the station and that is NOT a plus! Snow will not be a plus.....

So in our house, we are now down to Dobbs 7-8 p.n. News Hour on PBS for national news, BBC for International, and C-Span for live Congressional and Book TV.

The rest of it is garbage....our Standards are low, low, low....in many aspects of our lives thses days, especially the media and politics...........an all time DISGRACE!

PS.
When are you going to report on your Gay reporter (Richard...the Brit)
in the parkk?????

ITS OVER ITS OVER ITS OVER HILLARY

Wolfie–why don't you and your producers just declare for hillary like Fox..If not for Jack C and Candy it would be totally Clinton News Network!

Shameless

I have read most of the comments & it appears that most Senator Obama supports seem to believe that change will be made with words & a magic wand. It will never happen.

Senator Clinton will bring to the White House an economic package that President Clinton used to bring our Ecomomy back to a status that helped the country. Exactly what is Senator Obama going to bring to the table? I believe thoughts & wants, but nothing really specific unless he uses the Clinton's economic package.

Has Obama mentioned why he asked his Pastor to back away about a year ago when he decided to run? We all heard about the connection to Himmas & Louis F. but what did he do or say a year ago to cause Senator Obama to ask him to back away?

If I am not mistaken Senator has taken "gifts" from Lobbiest so go figure the attitude now about these people.

Does anyone care that Senator Obama had supported the Bush Chaney energy bill..........I believe the price of gas, heating oil etc is a result of that bill.......

Does anyone care that this has become an issue of race...not brought on by Senator Obama or Senator Clintor but by the black voters themself's!!!!! When 98% of the black voters say they are voting for Obama there is nothing specific...so all we can deduce is that it is because of the color of his skin. What a shame!!!

In truth if Senator is the Democratic Nominee I will most likely vote for McCain or write in Senator Clintons name...or maybe SpongeBobSquarepants...because that might as well be our new president.

Well I will have my popcorn and television tuned in.. I cant wait to see Hillary drop out once she realizes that she cant win..... Darn I must be dreaming Hillary will need to get punted out of the race, Lets hope those Steelers and Eagles fans deliver cause I hoping for a field goal...

Obama 08

Hillary will come out 20%+ ahead of Obama tomorrow night.

How I would have liked for an honest and capable woman to have run for President on this first time out! Then, at least, I would have had another viable candidate to consider.

Obama 2008!

Reading the responses by the readers over the past few days, I see an OVERWHELMING support for Obama. I, too, support Obama and have dug into my wallet 3 times to prove it. It seems what America is saying is "we're not gonna take it anymore!" We deserve a new option, and that option has made itself available through Obama.

We don't expect perfection or miracles, we expect to have a say in how our government works. We expect accountability. We expect our Senators, Representatives, and even our President to be looking out for AMERICA FIRST, everyone else second.

Americans are notorious for their generosity the world over, but with the country in its current state of disgrace, we can barely feed & house ourselves. We will lose our reputation as a generous donor because of the corruption of government over the past 20 years.

So now we shout CHANGE. Now we demand change.

I just don't get it, is it the same person using different names in the e-mails? I honestly only know of one person in all the people that I know that supports obama (hes young and thinks obama is a good speaker). Everyone else supports McCain or Clinton. And everyone that says they support Clinton, say they will vote for McCain in the GE if Obama wins the nomination. He really is just a baby and has no experience to run this country. How can anyone truely chance the most important job in the world to someone who hasn't done anything yet.? Its really scary that some people would vote for someone just because they're a good speaker.

EXPERIENCE...? JUST HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DOES IT TAKE TO USE PLAIN OLD, GOD BLESSED COMMON SENSE TO TREAT PEOPLE THE WHY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. GO GET THEM OBAMA!! YOU'RE THE MAN! YOU GOT MY VOTE

OBAMA! OBAMA!

Rick in Oregon if I may, with all due respect, in your response to Cindy's post, you forgot that while Obama was using the money that was donated by voters to run a campaign that has left corner stone unturned, Hillary was living large in 5-star hotel suites in Las Vegas. We The People have empowered Obama to do what he is doing and no one can take that away from him.

You have to recognize where Obama has come from, NOTHING, a nobody compared to where Hillary came from... former FIRST LADY, both national and state. Popularity is on her side but not substance. There is nothing lady-like about her. She's just as dirty as all the political dogs out there, living in the shadows of Bill who has shown people his true colors... his policies has gone to highest bidder.

Anyways, there are so many women in this great country that can do 100 times better than HRC and that is why her political chart has been on the decline. And will continue to do so

To :"And Thats The Truth, Ruth:,
NO, I did not vote for Bush! I am a democrat and have been for 22years and this will be the FIRST time that I will go against my party. I CANNOT and WILL NOT vote for someone who I not only distrust but dislike as well. Obama, is no different than Hillary or even John McCain, if fact he is worse! He spews the word CHANGE but what kind of CHANGE is he really talking about...this can be a good thing but also a very bad one as well. and I really 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

Why didn't Gore run again? He would have been the best choice for the Democratic party. But, since that wish can't come true now, what do we have? Two Democratic candidates who are the complete opposite of each other, but one will have to fight McCain. What about McCain? When the election becomes one on one, his wife needs to show her softer side in order to be "likable". She comes across as hard, too affluent, and a little bit snitty. McCain is probably an extension of Bush. Obama gets rattled easily – not good. Clinton is a trooper – won't give up. The choice is obvious.

CLINTON!!!!

The fact that Hillary's HAIL MARY advertisement (which contains flashes of Osama Bin Ladin, Pearl harbour, and the Cuban Missile program) is going to score a touchdown in Pennsylvania is sad

Reading the responses by the readers over the past few days, I see an OVERWHELMING support for Obama. I, too, support Obama and have dug into my wallet 3 times to prove it. It seems what America is saying is "we're not gonna take it anymore!" We deserve a new option, and that option has made itself available through Obama.

So now we shout CHANGE. Now we demand change.

I just love the Obama supporters claiming their candidate can unite the country and is the symbol of hope, etc. but they are the first to insult the PA voters by saying BS like: HRC must think you're idiots, but if if you vote for her we'll know you're idiots, yadayadayada...you Obama supporters are the main reason Obama would never be able to unite this country...way too much animosity and aggressiveness...

I believe part of the reason Hillary needs to win is because of her daughter. She has been preening her for a job in politics ever since her campaign began. She expects that if she wins, her daughter will have much more of a chance to rise as she has.

Hey Windy,
Took me a while to catch on, but we are all being played by the media.

Regardless of who you're for, and even if she wins PA, Barack is going to win the nomination. The numbers are not there for Hillary and the Democratic party will not risk permanently disabling the party by appearing to steal the nomination from him.

Members of the media, however, is having the time of their lives. They are getting tons of face time and raking in advertising dollars hand over fist.

The longer this mess goes on, the happier (and richer) they are.

Thank you Wolf. This is thoughtful unbiased reporting, very refreshing.

PA please save America. Do you want more scandals, distractions, wordly attacks the opposite, partisan, divided, lies, corruption in the White House? Vote for Obama

Mr Blitzer,
as it relates to Sen. Hillary and Obama; it is amazing that whenever you speak of them, you always promote the worst case situations for Sen Obama, when you question others about them you always mention negative things about him first to engage them and you continue to press them to make them agree with your mind set.
I hope that when all of this is over, you will create a library of your remarks and comment, take some time to listen to yourself.
This might be your right, but i believe you should realize what you have done.
Is it odd that you and CNN would have Sen Clinton on less than 24 hours before the PA Primary?

Viewing this situation from this side of the Atlantic (Scotland) I am rather saddened that for the first time there is the real chance of an African American or a female presidential candidate that fate would have it that they are both battling for the same party's nomination.
The republicans are loving this situation.
I think the only way the Democrats can win the presidency in November is if Obama and Clinton formed a dream ticket.
This would have the Republicans running scared. (Who would have 1st place on this ticket?)
Unfortunately it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Ah well! Another 4 years in the presidential wilderness for the democrats.

Actually, it just doesn't matter how the voters in the remaining states vote. There is no likelyhood that either one will be able to garner enough delegates to become the Democratic party nominee without the help of superdelegates.
By all means, go exercise your right to vote – just don't expect that it'll make a difference in the end this year. The SUPERDELEGATES hold the keys to this Democratic primary – don't fool yourselves!
Just remember, the Democratic party leadership thinks that the average Democrat is too stupid to be able to pick a candidate – therefore, they're going to do it for us!
Time to eliminate the superdelegates and adopt a simple "winner-take-all" delegate process in 2012.

Why does Youtube videos by Hillary Clinton mostly rates lower than the videos by Barack Obama?

I missed part of Wolf Blitzer's show today because I can no longer tolerate the rantings of the "Crypt Keeper". I like CNN, and enjoy most of the host because they graduated from Journalism school, but this man's absurdity is what has held our country in the 1862 era too long. I dont know his name, ( dont want to) but he needs to go back to the woods of Selma, and stay there until his fear of blacks subsides. Judging by how old he looks that should remove him from the world stage indefinitely.

So True!
Hillary is a strong woman and I would want her on my team. Hillary knows the issues and has solutions to her plan. Nothing can stop her now, keep going Hillary.

Hillary08

I like both Obama and Clinton...the sad part is ,we here in America
really do need a MAJOR CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. In the beginning the race was fairly clean...Now Clinton is so desperate she
is playing the old policital play book. Dirty politics as USUAL we need a president with grace and intergrity. I'm looking for a new voice with new ,ideas a person who can reach across the table and bring peace TO OUR HOME TOWNS AS WELL AS ABROAD. we NEED ARE TROOPS HOME AND TAKEN CARE OF. nOT PUSHED AWAY LIKE MY BROTHER WAS WHO WAS IN VIETIAM WHO NOW HAS A CRIPPLING ILLNESS , WHO MADE A SACRIFICE ONLY TO FIND OUT NO ONE BUT HIS FAMILY CARED.

IF OBAMACANS ARE GOING TO BLAME ALL OF HRC FAULTS ON THINGS HER HUSBAND SAID AND DID THEN START LOOKING AT MICHELLE OBAMA ACTIONS AND WORDS AND BLAME OBAMA FOR HER FAULTS.

PLEASE GO HOME TO CHICAGO OBAMA AND CONTINUE DESTROYING THEM AS YOU DID BEFORE.

THIS IS JUST LIKE TX, AZ, CA, OHIO, ETC... WHERE OBAMA WAS PROJECTED TO WIN AND DIDN'T. HILLARY WILL CARRY THE STATE.

OPERATION OBAMA TAKE-OVER IS FAILING...

Mr. Blitzer, you don't have to worry about anything. It is going to be the shortest election night. The result will be decisive almost immediately because Hillary Clinton is going to win with such landslide victory that everybody will go to sleep very early.

Hillary '08

I believe part of the reason Hillary needs to win is because of her daughter. She has been preening her for a job in politics ever since her campaign began. She expects that if she wins, her daughter will have much more of a chance to rise as she has. She might even be thinking of a Chelsea run for President some day. If Hillary doesn't win, that dream is all but over. Too bad for Chelsea, but I'm not sorry for Hillary.

If Obama gets the nomination, I'm voting for McCain.

Some of you people must have brain damage. Hillary is a MUCH better choice than the Obama.

I hope that Barak and Hilliary can come clean and unite against those Republicans. Neither will win the White House without the other.
More importantly, the joint ticket may even tip the congrssional balance towards the Democrates. We need 2/3 Congress.

If Hill or Barak think they can win without one another, then McCainBush will continue to live on.

Two Points
if clinton wins; i'll vote for macain because she would have stolen it
the clinton supportors has no reason not vote for obama besides
dislike

Run and hide Obama! No longer the hope and inspirational man!

Hillary has to be the most evil person, the new ad she has is terrible has she no shame? Hillary should be impeached by the democrats for this ad. I've had enough of her attack ads and lies. She continually lies and thinks it's okay. She distorts facts and thinks its okay. She think people are stupid so stupid they will vote for her. I hope people in PA are more intelligent than that, but I doubt it. I'm sure she will win by a good margin. People seem to like the old attack politics. Shame on them.

SHE WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS THOUGH. IF HILLARY DOESN'T GET THE NOMINATION, MCCAIN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Wolf, she should drop out if she doesn't win PA by a large margin i.e. 65% to Obama 35% or by at least 20 points as she had a 30 point lead early this month

I wouldn't trust hillary near my cat's budget

Wolf, this is better than the Super Bowl and World Series put together. LOL We bet she comes away with an 11% win. Congrats on Tony Snow the comments were closed already, but we always liked him.

Gosh, Blitzer is so smart. I'm in awe.

McCain doesn't have to do anything. Hillary is doing it for him. Go hillary!! democrats destruction machine.

Will not vote for obama , he is to weak.

PEOPLE IN PA!!!! DON'T VOTE FOR CLINTON, BE WISE!!!

Please Hillary, go home and take Bill with you. You deserve each other and America deserves better.
Obama 08

The thought of Cruella as President makes me ill!!!! OBAMA 08'

Clinton wil win PA by 10 point.
Obama with his outspending her 3 to 1 ,4 to1 cannot close the deal.
She won big Sttates were in November are must win in order to be in the W.H..
Do not forget Florida and Michican were if Obama is the nominee will go Republican.

Think about it and vote Clinton 08
best qualified and prepared candidate.

We may be in for a long night but it definitely won't be spent with you!

OPERATION CHAOS CONTINUES !!!!

THE TRUTH IS i LIKE BOTH OBAMA AND CLINTON...THE SAD PART IS THAT WE

My only hope is that she wins at best by 5% or thereabouts. If so, I think she would be a fool not to give up at that point but she's not exactly renowned for stepping out gracefully, so who knows?

As to a possible independent run if she loses, not only would that present yet more examples where she lied/mislead people but that would be a recipe for failure. If luck is on our side and intelligence is with voters, most of them will ignore her and go with Obama as if she weren't running again at all. More likely, though, many of her supporters would stay with her, while Obama's would stay with him. Meanwhile, McCain would still have the vast majority of right leaners and win easily and handily. I realize her campaign hasn't exactly been great at devising winning strategies but even she must realize how stupid a move that would be if she truly wants a Democrat in the white house.

As to the people who will vote McCain or not vote at all if their candidate of choice(Hillary) is not nominated, they are being fools, too caught up in their pride to do what is right. I don't care how much you hate Obama/Hillary, if you call yourself a true Democrat or Democratic sympathizer or whatever, for you to vote for what is essentially 4-8 more years of, at the least, Bushlike policies just because you're angry that your favorite candidate lost is vindictive and will only hurt the country. I loathe what Hillary has done in her campaign, but I would vote for her in November in a second if it meant a vote against McCain and his policies. But hey, if you want 4+ more years of Bush because you can't swallow your pride, then be ready to reap what you sow.

She'll stay in to continue collecting others' money to pay her debt. Poor little rich senator.

The results of the PA primary really don't matter (unfortunately); no matter who wins and by how much, the bottom line is Hillary will not leave this race. The dems will have to drag her off the convention stage kicking and screaming. If Hillary wins PA, the ONLY reason is that the Ditto-Heads have been instructed by the God-Father of Talkradio to cross-over and vote for her to get Obama out. Why hasn't the media addressed this???

I believe part of the reason Hillary needs to win is because of her daughter. She has been preening her for a job in politics ever since her campaign began. She expects that if she wins, her daughter will have much more of a chance to rise as she has. She might even be thinking of a Chelsea run for President some day. If Hillary doesn't win, that dream is all but over. Too bad for Chelsea, but I'm not sorry for Hillary.

Does my opinion deserve to be stuck with "moderators" until the comments are closed?

The Democrats have given the GOP an early Christmas gift. Hillary (like Bill) is a pathological liar. She will say, or do, ANYTHING in order to get elected. It's about power, not serving the people. Admit it to yourselves, Hillary supporters. More and more people who can actually think for themselves are seeing right through this candidate. She and her husband are, without doubt, political prostitutes.

As for Obama, again we must be honest with ourselves before we can properly critique him. His voting record in the senate demonstrates a pattern of wishy-washy – don't dare take a stand LACK of voting that should, by itself, show he is not a leader! He has abstained from so many votes that he should be ashamed to refer to himself as a senator. He was elected to represent his constituency and has failed miserable every time he declined to vote on an issue. What kind of leader does NOTHING in order to "not make a mistake that could come back on him"? Furthermore, and again this requires one to be honest with ones self: he has involved himself for decades with a radical sect of "Americans", if they can call themselves that. Separatists are probably a better word. His wife is more racially biased than anyone in mainstream politics could ever get away with. Why is she allowed to do this? Are we afraid to call an African American a racist? Pathetic. Wake up Americans!

John McCain is by no means a perfect candidate. He does, however, often buck the entire system and refuse to toe the party line. He has his own ethical standards and sticks to them more than any other candidate we've seen in quite some time. He is experienced in life, politics, and war. He has seen the worst war has to offer. Again, be honest: would this man subject so many people from so many countries to the horrors of war without reasonable cause? No matter who takes over, they will have to deal with extremism and our security and make decisions about how best to use or not to use our military.

Appeasement has been shown throughout history to be an unlikely resolution in the long run. We don't speak German and live under tyranny because of the blood of millions of brave souls in the 20th century. Don't stomp on their graves! Our military is based on a volunteer army. Don't join without considering the chance of being deployed in a deadly situation. If all you want is free training and college money, but don't want to offer your life, potentially, for the security of your country STAY OUT OF THE ARMED FORCES.

Admit to yourself one last thing: it is not, and has never been, humanly possible to peacefully coexist on this planet. Think about it. I certainly don't have an answer to fix it. I do know that large portions of our national treasure are given out as aid to many, many countries around the globe. America is not a bad country! People didn't cry about our involvement around the world so much when the big bad Soviet Union posed a threat. If a nuke of any size gets detonated in New York, or most places in this country, you can say goodbye to the American way of life as our financial system will collapse like a deck of cards. We will be worthless. Try and get some money from your investments or bank accounts when the system collapses. No commerce, no money to buy food, looting, bare cupboards and fighting among ourselves for the Darwinian right to survive. Do you think it can't happen? Just wake up and be an American who supports America. That is the best we can do. Then, together we take our chances living in a dangerous world.

The Tide of Change... She'll most likely win every one, from now on.
Then they will both lose in November... .

It is sad when states stay silent with regards to their Presidential Candidates.

Obama has no legitimate record to address African Americans in his on state. Or for that matter any other minority. Certainly none t to address the concerns of republicans be the moderate or other wise.

The current president ran on the same rhetoric...” changing the way Washington does business" does anyone remember that line.

He ran on the NCLB (no chilled left behind) and then had another African American sellout (former Education Sec "Paige") endorse the biggest lie ever told with regard to the state of Education in Texas.

Obama offers little change if any, he has special interest folk working on his campaign, it would be unwise to think they will not have a say , so in his administration.

Obama is nothing but a new face using an old line "Change". We have seen where that rhetoric has brought us. An unsafe, unstable, and unpredictable economy. A banking crisis so similar to the Savings and Loan failures, it's scary.

Texas was silent and its silence help put this current president in office. Will Illinois do the same? That is the question.

THE REALITY IS OBAMA IS THE FRONT RUNNER AND HE WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE TO THE GENERAL ELECTION.

Come on PA vote Obama amd get the big MO started it felt good when momentum was leading us to victory! Hillary don't carry that momentum like Obama does.I mean her supporters are happy sure, but it's like a bitter/sweet win for the country.Democrats will need this momentum in the fall to propel us to victory,which is something even the republican can't claim. After all the Dems are force to be reckon with this election year!
vote against the Clinton machine and vote for a breath of fresh air!

Obama 08!
Yes We Can!

>\Let pray she bows out after the 22nd. She is one scarey Lady.
forked tounge/power hungry/ And those are her better qualifications.
Think Independant/ Vote for Change.

Obama will loose Pennsylvania with bigger margin than what polls are showing..

Obama must not think that he can say whatever he wants and getaway with that...

Obama is using much more money than Hillary in ads but voters know who is the best candidate.

-Hillary 08

Obama is immature and does not have what it takes to be the next leader of the free world.
As for clinton's embellishment of her Bosnia trip , that is nothing compared to the lies Obama has told and has gotten away with.
Take away his teleprompter and he becomes a man lost for words, nor does he have an original thought or concept of his own.
The White House shouldn't be for sale and these enormous amounts of money that get raised are bordering on being obscene.
The country is at war and the economy is suffering , people cannot afford healthcare and yet here we are , not looking at the issues but lauding a candidate for it's likeability.
Hillary Clinton is the only Candidate who stressed the importance of fiscal restraint and a balanced budget.
She has my vote..!!!

Those who wish for peace and stability for the next 8 years, vote Obama. If you wish to perpetuate tyranny and dynasties – vote Clinton.
That simple.

I'm just so disgusted with the clintons efforts to high-jack the nomination at all cost. The "Archie Bunker's" in Pa are far too set in their old fashioned ways to vote for any type of change. These people would rather doom my generation by electing hillary into office, rather then electing Obama, whose shown that he can bring people of all walks of life together for a common cause. Only in Pa could you vote for a woman who comes on ABC debate, and out right says practically "yeah I lied about Bosnia, what of it..Vote for me"

Obama 08

If you Americans think Obama is not good enough for your country, there is clearly something wrong with you guys. Send Obama to UK. We will keep him as our leader for life.

With Washington & Texas still undecided, and Michigan & Florida still not resolved, Hillary should not drop out. This is democracy, and she needs to fight to the finish, regardless of the "whispers of the weak".

Lets play the news reel from a month ago when everyone said Hillary Clinton had to win PA by double digits to justify staying in the race...

Obama '08
YES! YES! YES WE CAN!

Hillary can not solve her own problems so why does people think she can solve ours.

Bill and Hillary care nothing about the democratic party! They will throw the whole thing under a bus before she backs out! They do not like to loose, and will damage anyone or everyone that finishes ahead of them! She will not accept the popular vote! She will try and persuade super delegates to overturn any decision that doesn't favor her. That will induce the biggest civil unrest in years. Considering that her campaign is held up by mostly women, and people that actually think she didn't support NAFTA! It's going to be costly! This family was impeached! How short sighted can Clinton supporters be!

Is Obama's fundraising for real? Has anyone really looked at the numbers an sources and figured out if it is legitimate. It is obscene how much money is being raised in this race.

There is nothing wrong with healthy and positive competition in a political party primary. However, the negative swiping that has occurred between Senators Obama and Clinton is not healthy, nor positive and risks the election of John McCain in November who will only extend the Bush presidency. Whether it is Obama or Clinton the voters of this great nation must make the right decision in November.

To Democratics who say they are not going to vote for Clinton if she wins or Obama if he wins-are you nuts?

John McCain means 4 more years of the same thing. With two supreme court judges coming up for retirement, say goodbye to women's rights! Vetern care-forget it. War with Iran-it's on. That is what John McCain will bring.

I'm a HUGE Obama fan. I distest the Clintons, but I'd rather have a democratic anyday than McCain or a republican.

This vote is huge-I predict Obama by 2 points will carry PA. The youth vote will show up..35,000 in a rally this weekend-that's nuts!

if hillary needs some spare change to continue, maybe she can get it like she used to:

Donor Contradicts White House
The Los Angeles Times
Sunday, July 27, 1997

Contradicting accounts by the Clinton administration, one of the Democratic Party's biggest campaign donors says he gave a $50,000 check to the first lady's chief of staff on White House grounds in 1995 in direct response to solicitations by aides of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Southern California entrepreneur Johnny Chung said he was seeking VIP treatment for a delegation of visiting Chinese businessmen when he was asked to help the first lady defray the cost of White House Christmas receptions billed to the Democratic National Committee.

Chung, who has refused to cooperate with investigators unless granted immunity from prosecution, said in interviews that he realized such special treatment hinged on his willingness to make a political contribution.

"I see the White House is like a subway"you have to put in coins to open the gates," Chung said in his first public comments on the controversial episode.

On Friday, White House communications director Ann Lewis disputed Chung's account. She said of the first lady's aides: "At no time did they solicit a contribution from Mr. Chung..."

"...Margaret A. Williams, the first lady's former chief of staff, who has acknowledged accepting Chung's check, is the subject of a pending inquiry by the federal agency charged with enforcing the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from soliciting contributions, as well as by congressional panels probing campaign finance abuses..."

If Clinton doesn't win big then she needs to drop out, because it was herself that said she needed to win big in PA.

the media is pumping hillary up so that the Obama dollars can continue to flow in.

This has become your stock in trade. what a shame.

she is on larry king, her daugther is more covered than michele obama, and even obama, bill has monopolized with their lies until she told him to shut up.

Why is HRC mad about obama ads when he told us that her health plans makes it mandatory and penalize you if you don't get. Isn't that what she said in one of her debates. And her ad about him taking money from gas co. is misleading. They just showed us she took
300,000 and some other things, when he only took 200,000. HRC IS DISHONEST TO THE CORE.

Clinton had leads in almost every state, but Obama has been able to close the gap, if not overcome, in every state. Even in her home state, New York, Obama lost by only 17% (57% to 40%). But Clinton could not come close to closing the gap in Illinois, losing by 32% (33% to 65%). Obama lost Texas & Ohio but started behind by huge double digits, close Ohio to 10% and Texas lost Primairy but won Caucus.

Clinton's inability to hold gaps or close when behind and Obama's ability to achieve a delegate lead at this point of the race that Clinton can not overcome is very impressive due to the way the Democrats proportion their delegates.

I think there is not doubt who is the stronger candidate for November against McCain

Tough decision? If she doesn't beat Obama by a 20% margin, the only way Hillary can win is by convincing the super delegates to ignore every metric (delegate count, popular vote, states won), ignore the popular will, and go with her. This is craziness, for the past 20 years we've had presidents from one of two families. It's time for change!

Obama might get torpedoed in PA by voting machines being hacked.

I cannot begin to express my absolute hatred for Hillary Clinton. She represents everything that is wrong with politics. Special interests, lying, kitchen sink and dirty tactics. Wolf and the rest of the gang need to get a grip. This woman does not belong anywhere near the White House. Her scandal ridden past and her disgusting husband are enough for me to say NO more Clintons! The way she has handled her campaign is proof positive...unfit from Day 1. 9 million in debt..give me a break!

Well...
If it's going to be that long of a night you might want to put out some tissue for Obama... someones liable to say something negative and he'll start crying again!

Unity & Change
Hypocracy 2008

Obama hopes and wishes he will win.

Clinton is the best candidate for the job. She has a track record, not a non-record!

Clinton and Experience 08 – 16!

Any one want to take a bet on how long its going to take to call the race?
I think Obama wins. Period.
I believe the pundits know who will win. Obama, and it will make for great TV!!!

Hope Kansas, think again! We need to raise this country's voting IQ. Not voting will leave it where it's been: in the hands of the morons who voted-in Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Hope, Kansas, we Obama supporters don't need a fairweather friend like you. Why don't you and that other Hillary blowhard, Susam MO, go tickle yourselves with a collard green!!!

GO OBAMA '08

If PA. doesn't vote for Obama, it's becasue they'll be clinging to thier guns and religion, when they know that Obama is the better candidate. But, thier willingness to vote for a Black candidate will be against thier race.

Thanks John, McCain and Hillary Clinton

For your part in the lie U.S. soldiers continue to commit suicides bidding farewell to their patriotism.

US Soldiers 4000 + US Soldiers dead, 35,000 injuried, IRAQ's Civilians 120,000 civilian dead.

What about there night of voting.

Scare tactics is for the desperates.

Are the new voters Obama's teenage groupies? Or are they Rush's "Operation Chaos" legions?

Obama's teenage groupies don't remember anything he said except "change". I remember another generation who was looking for "change" in 1968, and they got Richard Milhous Nixon for President.

I'm still figuring out "Operation Chaos." The chaos was supposed to hurt the Democrats, but I think the Operation Chaos voters are more interested in the Democratic candidates than in John McCain, and we hardly hear of him since Operation Chaos began.

Uh, Wolf, if she wins by a narrow margin she's lost. In fact, she already lost. The MSM is the only thing keeping this purported race alive right now.

The only thing that Hillary has not done this time is cry....

She still has 13.5 hours to get a good cry in....

Deb, they're fake Dems. Only a fool would support Obama or Clinton now and yet vote for McBush in Nov.

I have a strong feeling that we are all in for a major UPSET tomorrow. Obama is going to trounce Hillary so badly (even if by just 1 % point), it will not even be funny. It's just a feeling though ... time will tell.

Hillary was a republican when she was younger, and she's a closet republican now. Only she can see that her tactics are the same that she's trying to protray onto Obama, but no one is buying it. Why would you vote for this woman, when 60% of voters think she is dishonest/untrustworthy? Its sad how this boils down to race, which it is right now, and lots of white people just can't see past his skin, or his name. He'll still win, but i just wish it would be sooner. Pack it up Hillary, America is sick of you and Bill, and your daughter.

I dont get it – I thought American were wise enough not to fall for the trickery Hillary Clinton have been dishing out throughout her campaign!
I mean come on now alllllllllll those lies from her mouth! No one had to even spin or twist anything SHE LIED! END OF STORY!
We do not want a president who LIES we had that now for 8 years and here she comes LYING!!!!!
WAKE UPPPP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
Sen. Obama who this whole time has proven to be a decent, upstanding, honest and focused candidate with integrity. He has a vision and he knows how to effect change in Washington! Thats the ONLY way things are going to change for the USA!
Hillary's has experience in deciving the people of America like she did the folks in Ohio when she LIED and said she did not support NAFTA!
WAKE UPP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
Vote Obama!

Excited to vote in Pennsylvania...

LET'S GO HILLARY !!!

I will vote first thing tomorrow for you lady

Even if Hillary manages to win in Pennsylvania, it will only be by 2 or 3 percent, and that will be far too little to keep her campaign from alive as anything other than a pathetic delusion.

lots of crazy comments floating around these days. i hope that people can calm down a bit . it important to consider that all of this crazy fanaticism might drive a lot of people to mccain between now and november.

obama isn't exactly what he promised us he was, and he's got a lot of negatives that might prevent him from winning the white house. that's the way it is...and just because he can attract crowds of 35,000 people doesn't mean that he's the best candidate. some people might not like the fact that he's become more of a fad and a movement. maybe older voters are starting to realize that a president obama might not be a good thing. maybe he's too liberal for some people. we need to ground ourselves in reality.

and clinton...we'll she's a clinton and a lot of people don't like her all that much. so we need to ground ourselves in that reality as well.

nothing is certain regardless of how much we want our candidate to win. the process needs to play out and in the end we will select the best candidate to go against mccain.

so calm down.

Go Obama, NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Hillary can't win by double digits she needs to drop out.....this is getting silly.

Wolf, please do not do service to clinton.. the math does not add up
but, we know she will have to be pushed, as she will not voluntarely go away
this "is personal."

someone please tell Sen. Clinton her time is up and the time has come for change to start _ seriously............

Hillary Clinton is becoming less unlikeable by the day ...and even worse less trustworthy by the hour

Even if Obama wins in PA, Hillary won't drop out. She doesn't care what's right or ethical. She doesn't care what she's doing to the democratic party or even what the ultimate results of her actions (a win for McCain if she continues) will be. All she cares about is that it is her turn. I picture Obama walking up to the podium to take his oath of office, with Hillary hanging onto his pants legs, screaming: "No!!! It's my turn! Mine, mine mine!!! It's not fair!!!!!!"

Hillary is the worst thing that has happened to the democrats in a long time.

thank God for we baby boomers. Generation X would be in big trouble. Afterall, if it weren't for we baby boomers where would all of you be. Most of you can' tevern work. Live off of Mom and Dad. Now explain this. You vote for a man that you think is an American Idol. Well, good luck when the Mr. Obama loses this game. you see he is not yet ready. Most of you in my opinion are not ready to vote Following a movement for a President is a scary thing. However, you know no better.

Start pulling your own weight and perhaps we will give you Generation X some respect from what I have seen in my lifetime you definitely are going no where fast.

Get a clue, Hillary is worried about our nation's economy???? Have you looked at the economy of her campaign?? Wake up America, if she cannot successfully manage the finances in her own campaign,
HOW ON EARTH can she possibly straighten out the economy
in our country????????????

Hillary has done more to advance the candidacy of McCain than any republican ever could. She has declared him a better Commander in Chief than Obama (who will beat her in the primaries), and she has successfully ebbed the wave of "Obamamania," a feat which McCain does not possess the charisma nor personal magnetism, nor connection with his fellow republicans to have been able to accomplish. In her selfish, "me first and forget everyone else" campaign she will both lose the race to become the democratic front runner, and has jeopardized her party's chances to win. Way to go Hillary, way to go!!!

Hopefully CNN won't project a winner right off the bat. It makes me excited to watch all of the votes come in over the hours. You do a great job Wolf; no wonder you are a part of the best political news team!

It occurred to me that if Hillary does not win the nomination, she will go for an independent run against Obama and McCain. I live in Connecticut and I have seen that work with Joe Lieberman in 2006. He won his senate seat as a "petitioning democrat" after losing the primary. I think more than anything she wants to have a chance to become president and if that is what it takes, she'll do it.

I agree with Cindy. Hillary does seem to be determined to bring down the democratic party, if she doesn't win the nomination. All of her nasty, biting comments and misrepresentations are making me nauseous. I will definitely vote for Obama, and if necessary, McCain, before I will vote for her.

What political experience does she have other than as a senator? Did she gain experience by osmosis while living in the White House?

What's going to be really amazing is to see Clinton win the state (regardless of how many points) given the fact that she has been out spent in advertising by a 2 to 1 margin. Superdelgates, take note of this when it happens. A win by Clinton under that ratio of spending is truly an amazing feat and speaks loudly of the choice of the American people!

Wolf,
Lately I have been switching channels (not like me). I am a Hillary supporter, and want fair and balanced.
CNN has given far too much air time to Obama...let the voters decide. I hope it is a long night and voters are not discouraged (any ones camp) from voting ,due to to early predictions;
Hillary 08

FEAR>>>>>FEAR>>>>FEAR ,Is that ALL she has left?? Hey pennsylvanians, Clinton must think you're ALL idiots ! If this "AD" works,I'll start thinking ALL of you ARE idiots !! Vote tomorrow, and prove me wrong !!!!

The questions is, who is willing to give the democrat nomination to Hillary. The answer is, no one because she can't win unless Obama drops out.

All the supposed Clinton supporters that are threatening to vote for McCain are really just Republicans amusing themselves with the drama.

Please PA – put an end to this and vote Obama. Even if Clinton wins PA she still has no chance of catching up. So why bother?

I think the 7% are undecided because they don't like any of them. I wish the other candidates were still in. What a mess. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Way to go Blitzer keep chipping away at Hillary trying to get those polls down. You will find out tomorrow these polls will not mean a darn thing. Just like New Hampshire I predict Hillary to win with15% to 20% margin. Pack your bags Obama. There will not be anymore scum allowed in this race. To all you Obama supporterss that say the Clintons can not manage money. What dumb butts. I guess you don't remember the 90s when Bill left office with three trillion dollars in escrow and a wole lot less people on welfare. But, then again that seems to be a way of life for some people, welfare. Maybe tha tis what you're looking for agin. Someone to pay your way. Because America owes it to you. BAH!!! HILLARY 08

Wow Cindy.....all those capital letters and still you said basically nothing.

I have seen on both sides of this coin how people spin things. Try to take your emotion out of it a bit people and see things for what they are.

Cindy, Clinton had a double digit lead until Obama out spent her 4 to 1. Does that mean that he is buying the election? Do you think that he would have been able to cut into Clintons lead if she had outspent him 4 to 1? Not very likely.

Not that I begrudge Obama. He has the money, he should spend it. It's all part of the political process, but let's recognize it for what it is.

Now as far as Clinton destroying the democratic party, I hardly think so. That's just a bit dramatic, don't you think? I know that my party (the democratic party) is certainly much stronger than that. I think that in the long run, it will actually make it stronger. We have seen some of our flaws (caucuses for one, disenfranchised voters for another) and are getting pretty much all the publicity. Some people are like, John who? Our nominees are getting most of the press. Their dirty laundry is waving proudly.

When it's time for the GE, we'll have everything behind us and we can just rip into McCain. Any smart person will realize that Clinton and Obama are much closer to each other than McCain. I have my favorite, but I know that the other one is much more of what I want than McCain.

PA,

Hilary can win the general election. Obama cannot. Vote Hilary she is the best of the three.

Wolf...Are you planning to give equal time to the Obama camp on the eve of the primary? You just gave Hillary a 5-minute infomercial by allowing her political hack to spew his talking points over and over without answering directly a single question that was asked. On top of that you ran and re-ran her negative ad while he was speaking. One of the reasons I watch CNN is its fairness. How about showing some of that and allow the Obama camp equal time.

As an independent, white voter, I've got to say that Obama is showing the best leadership ability. He is the best chance to move forward in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and the rest of the country.

Clinton will win PA by single digits and then Obama will win in Indiana by single digits and kick her lying butt by double digits in NC. Then the Ice Princess will have to get out of the race FINALLY!

Lets not count out the Clintons yet, you know their philosophy, "If you can't beat em cheat em." I just love this latest attempt to advertise. Who would you want in charge in case there is a war? Well so far her qualifications are sniper fire and one dead duck. LOL

Obama is the answer to America PA.

OBAMA 2008!!

Double standards here! One wonders what everyone would be saying if all indicators on Obama's side were on Clinton's side. I am sure after Winsconsin he would have been politely easied out.
Look; money wise, delegates, all Nos. despite the fact that he has always come from behind. Call it a disadvantaged background. Insteady we see the opposite, the media trying to push him on the edges. Texas went for Hillary because some voters had voted earlier before knowing Obama and not the election day. No one is telling the truth. Ohio we know that Hillary framed Obama. So hopefully "not this time" !!!

Win or lose, she's vowed to take this to the convention. There is no rhyme or reason to her position at this point, why would a loss tomorrow change anything?

Honestly, it just needs to play out... the best that can be done is to isolate her, limit the damage to the party. She's Ralph Nader X 1,000, not Rocky Balboa...

Go Hillary!!!

The hypocrite is on the ropes!

NOBAMA – NO WAY

If Hillary drops out I am voting for McCain.
Obama is a "baby" politician who speaks before he thinks–YA!!! THAT IS WHAT THE USA NEEDS--LIKE A HOLE IN THE HEAD.

Wolf, you are a bias journalist. It is clear in everybody's mind the way you talk and the way you conduct your intervivew you are backing Hilary Clinton. It is not a problem for a journalist to back a presidential candidate, but should not be made so open as you do when you are on air. You have to realise that millions of people worlwide are wataching your program. So please stop the bias campaign against Barrack Obama, plerase...

i keep hearing the clinton team say "oh, this nomination fight is good for the party." and then i keep seeing clinton supporter posts saying "i'll vote republican if hillary loses." so how is this good for the party again?

Hillary has crossed the line it's crazy if Obama was doing this he would be gone by now the reson she is sill here is because she is the elitis. Donna Brazil what is going on with the superdelegates Hilllary has given the republicans all they need. get her out now

The longer the nite the better . And Hope – is that a threat or a promise? Who cares who you will vote for?

Obama is the scariest politician I have seen in my entire life. Thank goodness he's unelectable in the general election.

Im rired of hearing people who say "If Clinton drops out, I will vote for McCain."...WHO CARES...those type of folks are the same people who voted for Bush....TWICE

I am just ready for this drama to be over!

Hillary DID campaign in Florida. She called it "fund-raising," which it was, but she put on some big rallies. Barack observed the DNC's rules in both Florida and Michigan. Just one more untruth from Hillary. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in her.

I just wanted to comment on how much Obama has spent in Pennsylvania and he still won't win that primary. He thinks money buys votes but that is not so. His careless and wasteful spending will be the end of him. He is trying to buy his way in and I hope all of his financial backers will realize that its not how much money you spend but its how voters feel about you and the policies. He is spending over $8 million and he still will not win. That just shows you that he does not have it in him to gain full support to win these big primaries and Clinton can do so spending less money. The voters are not stupid and they will vote for the better candidate. If he cannot win these big primaries in the democratic race how will he win in the presidential race? Clinton will be able to win these states without a problem so she should be nominated based on that as she will be able to win them.

Pennsylvanians don't waste your vote on Obama as he will not be able to win in November and it will be another republican in the White House. Vote all the way for Clinton and let her win with a big percentage margin.

Mathematically, Hillary can not win. If it was Obama, everyone would demand Obama drop out.

Obama 08

Wolf,

Has anyone discussed the voting machine controversy in PA? Will there be a way to count votes if there is a problem?

Yeah, great move guys. Abandon the Democratic party for four more years of Bush policies.

You're not a real democrat if you abandon the party in an immature hissy fit.

I'm an Obama supporter, and I will still vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination. Any democrat that would act differently, whether a supporter of Obama or Clinton, will have four more years of war, poverty, and ineptitude on their heads.

Can not believe democrats are threatening to vote republican if their candidate does not win. That is so silly and will only cause anguish for four long years. After these least 8 how can anyone vote a republican into the White House?

CNN is doing campaigning for Hillary - Larry King Live Friday night, AC 360 Friday night, Larry King Live again tonight, all about Hillary, not to mention Hillary-only live video on cnn.com. What makes the media so bias on Hillary these past weeks? First ABC, then CNN.

"This idisagreements s very clear irrespective of whoever wins the Democratic nomination. In the fall, there will be very big between the two candidates on such sensitive issues as the war in Iraq, abortion rights for women, taxes, guns and a whole lot more."

What?

Please... to my homestate of Pennsylvania. Open your eyes and ears and release your racism... Vote Obama tomorrow and help this country move forward. Hillary's political ad of fear is an insult to your intelligence!

Hillary Clinton will solve the problems…
..........................will treat all americans with dignity……
..........................will balance the budget…
..........................will unite the country…
..........................will become one of the greatest american presidents.

.-HILLARY 08

why can"t run a clean race, she is turning this race into a jerry springer show, come togrther and not apart,we all want who is best for our country, Hillary was in the white ,but not in command, BILL MADE THE ALL OUR COUNTRY NEEDS NOT HER,so she do not have experience herself,look at all the Experince Bush had and look at us now, so we need some one to fight and support us and our country with out the soap drama, isee to much of that on tv,so obama is going to lead this country in a good place we we will all come together for each other.

Yes and I'm sure we'll continue to hear about how popular Hillary is with PA voters and how she has family there and blah, blah, blah!

THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT SHE HAD BEEN UP 20% BEFORE THE START OF THE PRIMARY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND HE'S CLOSED THE GAP CONSIDERABLY!

SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN BY THE DOUDLE DIGITS SHE WAS CLAIMING SHE WAS GOING TO GET FROM PA... BUT SHE'LL FUDGE IT AND TWIST WHAT SHE HAS SAID OR COMPLETELY IGNORE IT AND PUH, PUH IT- She'll have balloons and a parade going even if she only wins by 1%! She'll justify it in some way.

she's destroying the democratic party single-handedly and no one has the guts to stop her! She can't catch up even if she won PA by double digits- whoch she's NOT.

The only tough decision to be made is by the DNC and if they want to continue this farce of a smear campaign against Hillary and to alienate Florida and Michigan voters. Let the votes count and the real delegate tally be known and lets see this thru to the end. Unless Obama finally realizes that he's been getting a free ride and he chooses to withdraw.That would be the best thing for the party. But alas, his control freak wife will never allow that to happen.

OBAMA WILL SURPRISE ALOT OF PEOPLE IN PA AND AROUND THE NATION

Most of those new voater are going for Obama .... he will make an upset just like hillary did in NH

OBAMA08

STOP CALLING IT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY; it doesn't exist!!!!

Has anyone stopped to think that no matter what the people of America want, Hillary or Barack, the decision will be decided by people whose vote is more powerful than yours. I mean, are the citizens of America worth less than a superdelegate. How can one person be a superdelegate when it takes at least 1,000 normal people to vote for a delegate; and they have the nerve to even debate elitism....I mean does a superdelegate play with Superman.
Like if politicians are voted in by the people shouldn't they represent the people's wishes. Sounds like Americans are worth at the most 1/1000th of a superdelegate (superdelegates are people too). Remember the civil war and how to count black slaves in voting, it sounds like ALL Americans are worth less than 1/3 of a human no matter what color now. You learned your popular vote doesn't matter from the Bush fiasco, now you will learn that your not even a full person compared to the elite. Is this democracy; I voted for Barack but if he wins with one vote from a superdelegate that is against the population of area represented then I'm out. I mean let's at least pretend to have freedom. Generation X is watching, you Baby Boomers. SHOW US THAT WE AS A PEOPLE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL!

HILLARY WILL WIN PENN. BY 8 PERCENT--SHE SHOULD DROP OUT. EVERY DAY SHE STAYS IN THE RACE, McCAIN GETS STRONGER--A VOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE FOR MCCAIN.

ok

well said wolf. waiting for tomorrow night for the best political team.

In the end PA will decide to vote for a well educated African American senator or the wife of a Impeach disbard adulteress former President.

The Shameless Hillary Clinton is looking to play PA for fools. She has lied, lied, and more lies

The sad story about the sniper fire we have military killing them self as a resulft of war stress. Hillary or Bill Clinton would never understand this.......

If Clinton drops out, I will vote for McCain.

This will be the beginning of the end for Obama. Thank you Pennsylvania!

Our country need a real leader with real programs and a proven record.

Go Hillary!!!

Wolf, Barack brings in crowds of up to 35,000.. When cameras sweep in Hillary crowds I can almost here the echos...

Same ole same ole for Hillary..

Yes... We.. Can... in 2008 for Barack..

Maybe the Clintons can also make a loan to the US to ease the deficit!

Wolf, there are indeed large differences between the candidates. Clinton is a hawk, Obama is not.

Also, Clinton is going to have a very tough decision to make even if she wins. She needs a huge margin to stay competitive in delegates.

The first sentance of this article:
"Pennsylvania voters must now decide who will be a stronger Democratic presidential nominee in the general election against John McCain."

Really? That's what they're doing?
I thought what Pennsylvania voeter were doing was deciding who they thought would b a better President.

BRING IT ON, OBAMA IS "TOUGH ENOUGH". HE IS A "PEOPLES CANDIDATE" NOT A SPECIAL INTEREST CANDIDATE. PEOPLE OF PENN, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THIS COUNTRY.

O8AMA

we know that H sees sniper fire in her imagination,

which gives her both real and INVENTED experience!

can't beat that!

I look forward to watching it! This makes for great TV when I am traveling for my job. Love ya, CNN!!

Stick a fork in HRC! I think she's done!

Her compulsive lying and campaigning for McInsane disqualifies her for dogcatcher.

Time to get out of the kitchen HRC!

I can't wait until Obama takes on John McCain in the presidential election.

As an Indpendent I am voting for Barack Obama..

Wolf.. don't forget the indpendent as HIllary does..

It's foolish to see the Democrats as anything but a nicer version of a party that exists to do the bidding of the corporate elite in this country. Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgement and a hope that one day we will have a party that'll represent the people first, and laws that allow that party an equal voice.

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

go Hillary!

I think wolf is right.
