NO DUH….

THIS IS "AMERICA"

HILLARY AND OBAMA HAVE VERY SIMILAR POLICIES, SO IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN JUST BECAUSE YOUR CANDIDATE DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION!!! WE DEMOCRATS ARE SMARTER THAN THAT …… I HOPE.

Well, Hillary-ites…

how 'bout now…. (u guys are always pretending it's NOT about race…)

Like I said before… I would respect you MORE if you JUST ADMITTED it!

Anyone out there still think Obama benefits from his race?

While I support Senator Clinton, I would hope that the voters are looking at the voting records of Senator Clinton and Senator Obama and not at their gender or race; neither of these things qualify anyone to be president.

CUE: I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar.

It's sad that that is how America is. Look at the disproportional figures to how African Americans are voting.

Race and gender are a factor in everything we do. What else is new?

Born in PA

It really makes me sad to hear that race and gender was an issue with one-fifth of the population. Also makes me ashamed that those saying gender was important and that the majority of those voted for Clinton. I thought women had come farther than that.
-A woman who didn't vote based on race or gender

I was thinking that your analyists should wear buttons indicating which candidate they favor but I realize that it's obvious just by the color of their skin. This is the most racially divided campaign anyone could ever imagine.

Hillary will win BIG in Pennsylvania while being OUTSPENT 3 to 1. She has was all the BIG states including mine, FLORIDA….Hill we have your back here in the sunshine state….Rise Hillary RISE!

Oh yeah, we have very smart, intelligence people in PA and this country who will vote for the best interests of this country and not because of their own personal prejudices. One day the people in this country will grow up and vote like grown folks instead of like crabby, little spoil kids. Yeah, I said it. Grow up people.

Equality…what a joke! The exit poles on race and gender just reinforce what we already know. America's logic of democracy will yet again be the laughing stock of the world.

Take a calculator and look at any of the exit polls. This is 52-48 Clinton. A win for Hillary, but a gap that will be pleasing to the Obama camp. We'll see if the actual numbers of votes match the exit polls, but I think this is going to fall more on a positive for the Obama camp at the end of the day.

No blow-out for Hillary, love it! Hillary has no money to go on. The Obama Campaign did exactly what they hoped for.

If your exit poll is accurate then the final results will be Clinton 52 vs Obama 48.

Race, gender, Religion etc etc as usual always play roles in elections.Nothing is new about that.

Maybe the fact that race and gender played such a heavy role says a lot about what is wrong with this country. Also the fact it is all media talks about. I think it would all do us all some good to talk about what we have in common. I hope we can change our ways. With all that is wrong with the world I really fear what life will be like for my 4 year old son.

Obama 2008!

OBAMA 2008 NO DOUBT!!!

I won der how anyone can vote for Baaraaaacckkk!

really sad. I wish people would vote on issues not this BS. I vote for Obama because I like his policies.

Come on folks. Both the candidates in the heat of battle skirt the truth. Obama said he was a professor of constitutional law — well, he was not a professor (that really means something in the academia circles) he was a lecturer. He said he never heard Rev. Wright say anything inflammatory. Now that either is a big lie or he supports the remarks of the bigoted Rev.

As both candidates are so close on issues it comes down to character more than race or gender. If it doesn't bother you that Obama belongs to a separatist black church then you could vote for him. If it bothers you than you won't. Racism on either the black side or the white side is not a quality that can unify this country.

I dont care for Hillary but I also dont like articles that dont tell the whole story. Such as that 91% of black voters voted for Obama. Yes he very much so benefits for his race.

Hillary is TOAST! THANKS PA! Send the CARPETBAGGER BACK HOME, WHERE EVER THAT MAY BE!

Hillary, you are out-spent and you're out of funds. What are you going to do now?

If almost all blacks vote for Obama but whites are more evenly split-

HOW IS RACE BENEFITING CLINTON?

My fiance and I speak about this all the time. We sympathize for women who in their enthusiasm to see a woman as President have lost sight of the entire point.

It's not a about a woman as President, it's about THIS woman as President. Hillary Clinton is no more trustworthy than George Bush. It took the evidence of her faced on camera to get her to admit she has lied about Bosnia. Is this someone we want in office? Her husband
already is in conflict of interest with her position on trade - is she going to divorce him or spend her Presidency cleaning up after him?

Bill and Hillary Clinton were responsible - together - for giving the Presidency and Congress to a right-wing Republican era that saw the Supreme Court stacked with right-wing judges. They are indirectly responsible for the Bush Administration (a voter reaction to their indescretions). And we should want Hillary as the follow up act?

I will never forgive the Clintons for mortgaging my sons future by handing the Presidency to Bush. I will rather vote for McCain than see another Clinton in office - be it Bill or Hillary or Chelsea for that matter.

Get those Republicans off CNN! They are turning the PA live coverage into a mud fest. CNN is off my tv now.

Youre dreaming Judy! You know it's about race! Clinton's inject race and you know what the result will be… White people have been doing this for a very long time.

And white people are not voting disproportional? Do they really believe that Hillary will be a better President than Obama? Do they really believe that Hillary will be bringing in a new era in politics and put people first? Are these the same people that was conned not once, but twice by Bush?

I am woman - hear me ROAR for Obama!!!

What exactly has Hillary ever done to be some sort of feminist icon? I'll tell you what - nothing. Listen to Dee Dee Myers in her new book - first woman press secretary ever. Served in the Clinton WH, and she was paid less than men around her with less responsibility - and Hillary did nothing to rectify that pay inequity. Hillary is not the great female hope.

I am African American and I'm an Obama Supporter, but allow me to bring to your attention that alot of African American's are voting for Hillary because they believe that Bill will run the country behind the scenes. When Obama wins both the nomination and the election please don't say, "It's because he's Black!"

I am utterly disappointed in America. It would be nice to FINALLY see people support Obama because of his dedication and determination as well as his persistance in standing up against a war.

Yet his character is being disected. False emails roam the internet incorrectly stating that his is a muslim. Many whites will not vote for him because they fear he will give reparations to decentdants of african slaves or even enslave whites.

It is argued that he does not have the experience needed to be the commander and cheif.

The problem with this country is that America is still very racially divided. It is no secret.

We'd rather give the nomination to a woman who's husband was responsible for NAFTA. Someone who voted for the war and did not have the courage to do what was right. Experience or not, she has lied about landing in sniper fire, has brushed the Mark Penn scandal under the rug and continues to minipulate words and use fear tactics to gather votes.

Her campaign is bankrupt and in disaray. How can we expect her to balance the national budget.

Obama is not perfect, but he is a breath of fresh air. I pray that he wins Pennsylvania and the following primaries.

It's to bad that so many american's feel that if it is not white, than it is not right.

Obama Supporter

I' voting for susie coz she has a pony. Makes as much sense as voting for Hillary coz she is a woman.

Well said, Larry, NC.

Question for the panel how can Obama bring change when he has no record bringing change working with his other Congressmen in both parties as a senator the in past. With congress rating at its lowest ever. Look like to me his got the parties working together when had a chance working daily side by side his fellow senators. No change or help there. Thats the truth.

Once again we are focusing on gender and race instead of the philosophy and character of the presidential hopefuls. We are asked to be colorblind and gender neutral but are never allowed the chance to do so. Even your live broadcasts continue to incorrectly label ethnic groups. Once upon a time those of European and Scandinavian descent were identified as being Caucasian. Some time in the 70s, they were referred to as White, I guess as opposed to Black which referred to those of African descent. This evening during the CNN broadcast, Caucasians were referred to as White and African Americans were referred to as African Americans. Can our news broadcasters raise the quality of the English Language in their newscasts by using proper titles?

You'all can say what you want, but Hillary did it again….what a clear view of who the next President should be……knock her out and she ends up winning anyways….GO HILLARY!!!!

90% of Democrats couldn't agree the sky was blue.

So when 90% of the Democratic voters agree on who they will vote for you know it's based on the fact that their chosen candidate is one of their own, ethnically, racially or religiously.

For 90% of blacks to say they are voting for Obama and then say it's not based on race is ludicrous.

LATINOS FOR OBAMA

HEY B.Real…

look in the mirror before you go there…

What a surprise, that's all the media has been talking about for the last 6 weeks. So don't be surprised that it's an issue.

NewsFlash: Race and gender have always been an issue—we, the American people have voted for white men since this country was founded. You had to be white and male, period.

Tell the truth: At least you vote for someone because of his policies. I may not support him, but its nice to see some people look past race, religion, gender.

Personally, much of his most notable supporters are democrats who are likely choosing him because he is young, inexperienced; therefore, easily manipulated by their political agendas. It really isn't about the American people. It's all about POWER.

Of course its about race. Obama has gotten the black vote on average about 9 to 1. No one can say that is just because of his policies

No doubt race played a part. It has for some time 90 plus percent AA have been voting for Obama. All the way back to IOWA it was 80%.

Someone please tell Mr. King…that Mr. Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan and Florida…he keeps saying Hillary wants to count the votes…how does that make sense??

I'm wondering what is the stats on black voters in PA voting for Obama vs. Clinton as that should be another factor whether race is important in voting or not.

Clearly for those of us who stay informed by keeping up with the news. If a candidate for President really wanted True Change, they would push for each citizen to maximize their abilities and economical independence. Of course, most of Sen. Obama's backing comes from the least experienced with life, naive and/or gullible, and those who think they are above the rest by their mental aptitude (you are to be considered intelligent and bright if you are supporting his candidacy). They are living off of either parental support or loans, vote because their skin color matches his, or we have the so-called top educated who believe they have all the answers to tell others how to live. It only takes someone to work in the academia to see what a caste system it is, based on one's level of education. In other words, if you are not a PhD all other employees are lumped in together and separated from them either by way of benefits, opportunities, etc.

It would be interesting to see how he attempts to change the political process. Is he going to openly denounce all Congressmen, Supreme Court Justices, etc. who do not agree with him? Will they then have to endure what the ABC debate commentators have been exposed to the last few days? It is so ironic to see an individual who speaks of unity and prosperity for all Americans to have created such a divisive line amongst many. They are already bullying Sen. Clinton's supporters who refuse to support him as the presidential candidate as not being true Democrats. One can be a Democrat, and not believe in the individual who is selected by the party to be their candidate. That is called, "Freedom of Choice". Ooops, that might not be around for much longer. Get it done Hillary America has been waiting for a President like you…………..

America, the racist country.

please post my last comment. you have denied all of my postings and i have never disrespected anyone here.

California Voter…

Please go back and re-check (or maybe check for the first time) your facts…

obama's university came out publicly and backed up his claim…

do you REALLY want to compare lies agains HILLARY…
whitewater, bosnia, travelgate, brokered Irish peace treaty…

hell, that's just off the top of my head… don't let me actually do some REASEARCH..

really???

Wall Street fixed this election from the git.All three stink to high heaven.

Brett, people vote for Obama because he represents change. Look at Whyoming, its a white state Obama won it. So is wisconsin, and others. Finally Brett we will have Obama as the nominee. He will be president on 2008!

Why do they separate the white vote by male and female and then lump all black votes under one category. We are also separated by male and female. I'm not at all happy about how CNN reports that information.

They just said it was 92% black vote in PA vs. her 8% and she was hoping for larger margin in the double digits.

Throw kids of all different colors and races into a room and look at them? They get along and see each other for what they are, another child and human being like them. After 18 years of being raised by so called loving, caring parents, most of us no longer see each other as human beings. We finally have a chance to show the world what we have been preaching since our existence but the best we can come up with is showing what the world really think about us, nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

What if your half black? Where do you count? THis is crazy…wish we could all be color blind. Not reality…I know.

I just saw the 3 scenarios… What happens to all the "Others" supporters at the Convention? Is this another reason for Hillary to stay in the race?

If Obama wins the nomination, there is no way the Clintonistas, will be persuaded to vote for Obama. Against McCain, I will put my hard earned dollar on the latter rather than take a chance voting for someone who is all yack and no action. Plus look at today's exit poll, 92% of blacks voting for Obama and yet they dont want to admit that this is about race.

"If you can smell, what BARACK is cooking"

Rudy

bob…

please google Lugar-Obama

beyond that, he has sponsored or co-sponsored many meaningful items both in the Illinois senate and the U.S. senate…

(i.e. Obama is the reason videotaped confessions are now mandatory)…

guyz… do some homework, please…. I seem to be blasting holes in SEVERAL people's arguments here tonight… and you all are making it wayy too easy..

so far… i haven't even had to go to research… this is all stuff i already knew…

Four years ago I voted for Sen. Kerry; there were two African Americans that were runnnig for president. I'm sick of this prejudice BS. I voted/vote on the candidate that best represents what America needs…what I need in a president, not the one that shares my ethnicity. If you don't do the same…yes I look down on you because in comparison, you're very little!!!

NOT TRUE. I just read the exit polls again and only 7%of Clinton voters said race was a factor in how they voted.

Give me a break all you Clintonites who are whining about Barack having more money…his supporters are the ones donating…if you don't like it cough up some dollars to help poor Hillary out.

If she had the same amount of funds she would be producing even more ridiculous ads!!

With all due respect to the Pennsylvania citizens who are quite intellligent and anything but racist… white supremacists still have a lot of footholds in rural Pennsylvania and similar areas in other states. Whether or not you choose to view the enormous percentage of African-Americans who support Obama as racially motivated, it seems pretty clear from these exit polls that at least some Pennsylvanians care about race, and they're mostly white, and they've mostly voted for Clinton. Misogyny isn't dead either, but on the other hand, Clinton is so entrenched in white privilege (her own and her husband's) that this probably makes her attractive to white voters who believe Obama is the child of a forbidden multiracial union and his notion of running for president is just plain "uppity." (I do not think any of these things about Obama, I'm just observing what rural white voters honestly think a surprising amount of the time, which not only applies to PA but also to my own state of NH.)

I am from Sweden and its sad to see youve white americans (alot of old scandinavians) being ran over . This is not a democratic election. Vote for Hillary, Obama will never be president anyway. Trust me all whites will go for McCain if Obama wins.

No comment, this is silly.

HILLARY WINS PEN. BUT BY HOW MUCH.

92% of Black voters voting for Obama… This is "exactly why" we need superdelegates… Unless you are a complete liar (or completely blind) you realize that a 92% rate means that "MANY" (not all, but "MANY") African Americans "are not" voting on the issues and are instead just voting for "another black person". That's not a good enough reason to elect someone to be President. Just like having a positive message of "hope" and "change" aren't good enough reasons. Voting for Obama has become too much of a High School popularity contest where he's the "in" thing to vote for "regardless of the actual issues". Obama supporters are emphatically excited in the same way an underdog sports team gets more fans to cheer for them as people hope to see an upset.

Approximately 80% of the Omaba supporters I meet have "no idea" as to what each candidate's stance on various issues is. The Superdelegates are needed to counter ridiculous voting like this.
When I ask them how they can vote without knowing the issues they say things like "we need a change & Obama is more positive". To witch I say "Would you rather have an experienced brain surgeon with a terrible bedside manner OR a younger Dr with a great bedside manager but more relative unknowns". They usually always pick the former…
Dave

Just remember that no one asked the brave soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq about their race, or gender before they gave their lives for this country. Think about it.

Obama 08 and 12 !!!!!

I am amazed at the amount of mud-slinging that can occur online… not between those who are running for office, but rather, their supporters. MY stance on the issue is a little less difinitive: Why don't we all wait to see the official results before we start yelling at each other?

This pre-result mudslinging reminds me of the famous Dewey vs. Truman race… At the end, victoriousTruman smiles while holding a newspaper with the large title, "DEWEY WINS IN A LANDSLIDE!".
Let's learn from history; save the harsh words for the post-game show, so to speak. Otherwise, we'll all end up looking like fools.

P.S.- Free Tibet

I am a political strategist (who will remain anonymous) in Canada. I'm watching the election results on CNN and I am simply amazed that none of your so-called experts are even addressing that fact that the Democratic Party's success lies with the YOUNG voters. They are the future of the party, and the super delegates cannot afford to ignore them. Senator Clinton's base is with white women, many of them elderly. No future with them. In the end if the democratic party wants control for any length of time, they must go with Senator Obama, no matter how the Clinton campaign spins a merger win in Pennsylvania.

I trully pray that CNN gets off on all this race stuff which is the reason it is always an Issue in the first place… Get over it CNN… let the VOTERS decide here instead of you guys constantly bringing out the negative in people….

This is depressing, I pity the uneducated people in these states that vote solely on gender or race. I don't want to call them racist, but they seem like it.

Oh and these "WOMEN FOR HILLARY CLINTON" people too, get a grip.

Martin,

Please leave your racist Scandinavian views to yourself. This is our country, and we will decide our president. So go make a watch, knife, or cheese or whatever you guys do over there.

Leave us alone.

O/08

Fact is Blacks were not voting unanimously for Obama, until Race was brought into this campaign. If you don't believe me, go back and look at the data. Clinton was winning a good share of the black vote!

Some Black saw that Obama was not going to be able to campaign without the country making this about race and they stepped up to support him!

So I say, Clinton and her supporters only have herself and themselves to blame.

correction:
Clinton Obama
Whites 13% yes 67%NO 4%yes 93%NO

Oh surprise, surprise Hillary benifits from the race issue.

We shall overcome, but not as long as the Clintons are involved.

O/08

Let's see, based on the article's numbers, that's 40% of all the voters, breaking down to 26% for Clinton and 14% for Obama (within those two demographics: race & gender-based voters). But this little article leaves a gaping hole in the report. What about those who didn't base their vote on race or gender?

I read elsewhere that among those for whom race and/or gender did not play a part in their decision (the remaining 60% of the electorate), Obama led by a good margin, 56% to 44%. So, among the remaining 60% of voters, that would cook down to 26% Clinton and 34% Obama…

so let's add it all up:

Clinton 26% + 26% = 52%
Obama 14% + 34% = 48%

Let's see if those numbers hold after all the votes are counted. Based on just this exit poll, the result should be Clinton 52, Obama 48….

A four-point spread. Now, mosey over to the CNN delegate calculator and see how much that really effects the race….

In my opinion, not much at all really. If North Carolina's polls hold, Obama will post a net gain in delegates after that contest…. I don't know if Clinton can justify staying in the race if PA ends up being a 52 to 48 contest…. but that's just me….

peace.

So it sounds like Hillary has the superficial vote locked up. And yet Hillary supporters act all shocked and righteously angry when we say that some of them are uneducated.

All you black people can come out of hibernation and vote for Obama, but you will never make the Asians and Latinos voete for him. If ever, McCain will surely garner the votes of these minorities.

And BE REAL the blacks are voting for him base on his color. I will truly say that the whites are the ones voting their conscience and preference regardless of color.

So Stop the BS and just admit it!

It is an outrage to see the unbalance coverage at CNN. I don't know who is worst John King or Wolf B.

Do you guys belong to Hillary Clinton's Team? John King I expect that from him because he is trying to make a name for himself but I would have never expected that from Wolf.

You guys are not that important, people can see through your bias coverage.

I used to have respect for your network.

If 92% of whites voted for Clinton just because she's white there would be fallout and cries of racism.

CBS NEWS CALLS IT —– CLINTON WINS PENNSYLVANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

6pm pacific time
John king just made a racist statement by obama standards regarding an area of PA that has a high black population "should go for obama." Pardon me, but is that not the same comment bill clinton made before south carolina?

Look, we had one inexperienced man in the WH, do we need another.
I don't care whether the next president, is white, black, blue, purple or green, or a man or a woman, but I do want someone who understands how to work with congress, who's been a senator longer than Obama.

Geeze, no sooner did he become senator, he's deserted the people of his state to to run for president. He barely finished out the first term when he began his to plan to run for president.? Geeze, would you take a little leaguer away from is team and put him into the big leagues, 'cause he's new and different. Hey they are all politicians with their clothes off.

Yeah, yeah, all you Hillary haters want her to drop out … why? If a team is in the 7th inning of a game, and the other team is leading by 4 runs, should the team that's behind, throw in the town and give up …. NO! Of course not.

I like Hillary, and i want her to win, but I don't hate Obama so much that if he wins the nomination that I would turn around an vote for Obama.
You're either Democrat or not … or you want for more years of a Bush-style presidency. Yeah, that's a smart move, we're in enough trouble.

This thing is NOT racially divided as far as the whites go. It's the blacks that are racially divided, voting almost 100% for Obama. Give me a break.

I'm reading this and it's pretty shocking to me that racism is so alive and well among whites in the US. It's a sad commentary on the lack of progress made in inclusive thinking.

I was once really concerned at the big health care lie… I always wondered how Americans could all be convinced by politicians that universal health care is a bad thing - how it limits your "choices", while leaving millions exposed to bankruptcy if they got sick, while health care providers lined their pockets. I used to think this was your biggest problem.

I was wrong. You'll never get to health care issues unless you are able to treat each other with respect.

Richard and other, that is not correct.

Obama started getting the Black vote, after race became an issue.

I don't agree with them, but can you fault them for supporting Obama.

I really hoped race would not become an issue, but i guess I was wrong!

Please, tell me when did the news start becoming so bias with the news, the media is not or should not be telling how they voted and how they feel about a certain political view. This country is sounding more like we live in a communist country, let the voters decide for themselves. The older I get the more I fear for this nation and I'm only 37yrs old. Where spooned feed everthing and because the media said we belive it.

Race should not matter at all.

We are ALL Americans!!!!

Now Strongely for Hillary Clinton

I am sick and tired of corporations first, people second. I am sick and tired that profits come first in health care, caring for our ill and sick comes second. I am sick and tired that jobs leave our country because "We (as our captains of industry says) do not have enough educated people in this country", yet we continue to cut funds for higher education. I am sick and tired of paying more money at grocery stores and bringing home less and less food. I am sick and tired of elected officials telling us what we should spend our tax money on instead of we telling them what we should be spending it on. I am sick and tired of this adminstration, their secrecy, their lies, their incompetency, their wasting of young American lives that only serves their agenda because they play off the fears of other Americans. I am ready for someone who has new ideas and not a rehash of old ideas to move this country forward into the future.

Noah, Your reaction only shows that what Im saying is correct. Cant you explain why no blacks are voting for Hillary? Her politic is very similar to Obamas. What make him so special?

Why isn't my comments coming up at all? I guess I'll go to MSNBC and let them know you're censuring your blogs for Billary.

Race and Gender…

These are issues because the media put them there. We should only be interested in what each candidate can bring to the table and vote for our nominee based on who would best represent the United States as President. Black, White, Asians, Hispanics…male, female…we're all part of the fabric that makes up America!!!

Black and Proud…but embrace all races.

Eric put down the kool aid.

This is all looking bad for Obama, they throw race out to make Hillary look bad, well my question is how come the black vote is over 90% for Obama, is that not racist voting. Spilt the black vote 40/60 and Obama got his butt kicked really bad. People face it, the media and news groups have been pushing and covering for him since day one and he still is falling short.

Obama the boy that has'nt grown up yet, Lost tonight, and I don't pitty him or his wife!

Democrats are all in the same "race" and that's to send a democrat to the White House. So enough of this non-sense and non-purpose serving divisive propaganda and stick with the real issues.

Does Blue Collar = White people?

It obvious does since CNN won't say it. Everyone is quick to call out black people supporting Obama but won't dare say the obvious - white people support the white candidates only.

And as the Democrats continue to squabble, McCain is taking his time touring poor parts of the country, connecting with a traditionally Democratic voter base. He has time to raise funds, meet voters one on one, buy quilts, and sit back and smile as the Dems rip each other to pieces.

Then again, it's no suprise- this always happens. No one be shocked to see that McCain has personally convinced two thirds of all registered voters to bid in his camp by talking with them in their living rooms, thanks to the time he has. Seriously, he's probably eating dinner with some blue collar family as we speak, getting three or four more votes.

P.S.- Free Tibet

The people of PA must be bitter! Twenty percent of them cannot vote for Obama because he is not white, even though they saw Hillary stand before the world and tell a lie about being under sniper fire! That says a lot about their faith too. I guess they want a segregated heaven!

America is a much sadder place that she won.

Hopefully the remaining states will stop her once and for all.

Identity politics.

Always has been the only real game in town, always will be.

Uneducated does not equal smart. Obamaniacs have demonstrated this beyond all doubt.

Personally, I would skip college and learn a trade if I could do it all over again.

Why can't we _____________? Because reality has a funny way of intruding on our daydreams. Sometimes not so funny.

Well folks, I'm a 34 year old white male originally from sunny southern California, and have not only n o intention of voting for Hillary Clinton at all in any case, but I have every intention of Writing in Barak Obama as the CORRECT candidate for president.

I will give no credibility to a woman who denies me equal rights as a man. Hillary is an evil disingenuous woman, and I intend to make it my first priority to make sure she sinks.

Correction:

"Uneducated does not equal smart" should have read:

"Uneducated does not equal dumb."

My bad, ha ha.

Drastically outspent and still she wins. I think that spells electability.

It does not matter if she win PA… she will never catch him in popular votes… delegates… if the DNC overrides the will of the people… people think that there is hell in America now…. if some how she is given the nomination and is behind in everything.. the govenment will have shown all americans that it is politics as usual… people will not believe in America anymore… and things will just get tougher…

although Hillary had a lot of the older voters on her side… she must remember… its the younger people who will be running the nation sooner than she thinks……

Lana, NATIVE AMERICAN CHICKAKEE INDIAN:
What Bill (racist) Clinton said was that it didn't matter if Barack wins South Carolina because Jesse Jackson won it. Meaning…(for those that can't quite muster the brain power), that the only reason Jesse Jackson won it was because he's black… thus the only reason Barack won it was because he was black? Get It?

And it just doesn't matter about the numerous lies, (Bosnia, IRA, etc.). The just comment about nuking Iran if they attacked any of their neighbors like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. She's went further right than any president has. You need to adjust that satalite dish at the reservation.

I'm an African American, and I have learned one thing about human nature: We're all at least potentially racist. We are all, to some degree, racially biased. It's in our genes. We tend to gravitate toward people like us.

That wouldn't be a big problem if there were an equal number of blacks and whites. Remember S.C.? Half the democrats were black, so it didn't matter if either side were racist.

However, in PA, whites outnumber blacks, so it's a disadvantage to Obama. I've accepted that, because I'm probably just as racist as any white person.

Since we are outnumbered, then not only does Obama need to convince the voters that he is a better candidate, but he has to convince whites that it's OK to vote for a black man.

Let's look at it the other way: George W. Bush had a much harder time getting the black vote than Obama has getting the white vote. In other words, we're racist too!

America in general and democrats in particular have the chance to elect the first woman president now and the first African American president 4, 8, 12 or 16 years later. But it looks like non of that will happen,

Obama may win the democratic nomination, only to loose the national election when he faces Republicans and Independent voters.

Thank you Obama for being so selfish

Lets vote for her because she's a female. What a great startegy. Sounds like racism and sexism to me. The Clintons are LOSERS. They are not better then the Bushes which are the only people this country seems to want to elect. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX PEOPLE!!!

Clinton's campaign chairman (Mcauliffe) just said that she is winning the states that count. I thought all 50 counted, evidently I'm wrong. Only the states that Hillary wins count. Will that work with McCain as well?

I now have a lowered opinion of women, good going women of PA, you've set yourselvs back 50 years.

Anyone who knows anything about this state would know that race is the main factor… gender is an excuse for those white women who want an excuse to not vote for Obama, but there are a large majority of people who would never have considered voting for him if he sat down with them one on one and explained each of his plans in the kindergarten style they can handle…an educated black person is a mystery to them and no way can they have the audacity to believe they are equal to whites.

If anyone really takes time to research these candidates and find out the real truth, they would see that what they are proposing are about the same, regardless of how everything is spun. Experience-wise, the notion that Hillary is more experienced is another lie. Pillow talk, which for the most part, probably went to someone else, does not make you experienced. Additionally, what worked back in the nineties may not float to get out of the mess this country is in.

When it is all said and done Penn. are prejudice just like Ohio. They refuse to vote for that black man. However, just think, so it the majority of America!!!!!!! We are all afraid of an intelligent black man, a black man, his wife who does not look white, and the change he represents. Instead we rather live or put the rest of America through the same ole Washington BS were go through election after etection. Bush, Clinton-Bush, Bush -Clinton. However, Clinton cannot win the nominee by the numbers. If the Super delegate make her the nominee the people of the US should protest that convention.

To Brian from Fort Mill, SC:

You have my respect for saying what I wish whites could say, but aren't permitted to.

Once one accepts reality, an inner burden is lifted. Reality may be difficult to deal with, but hey, that 's life.

Mila,

You are absolutely right. The thing that irritates me the most is that the blacks are voting for Obama because of his color. To them he is the Messiah of the black race in America. But if all the whites will vote for Hillary, I bet, all these blacks will be accusing the whites of playing the race card.

I just wish that these people will admit that they are playing the race card. After all, isn
t blood thicker than water?

In response to: Drastically outspent and still she wins. I think that spells electability.
In a white man's world monry means nothing. He is a black man trying to fight the white establishement——Be for real!!!!!

So the myth argued by Clinton and her supporters about Obama having the edge because he is black is false. The truth is being white and a woman in America gives her a edge over being black. Not to mention the brand name "Clinton".

I don't see how Obama can lose the delegate race or the popular vote; so how does she expect to get elected without dividing the party? And no MI and FL should not count only reason she won is by brand name.

P.S.: I have never voted for a black candidate until Obama. Not Jesse Jackson, not Allan Keys, not even Gary Coleman! (I don't live in CA, so the last one was moot).

I almost didn't vote for Obama, until he won in Iowa.

I have one question. What race voters were questioned? I am guessing white by your conclusion that leads readers to believe whites are biased. How many blacks were polled who voted for Obama because of race? Did anyone ask that? I can't believe the racial tone of this story. Racial bias comes in all colors.

I support Hillary because she's more experienced and has a better grasp and understanding of issues that matter to the average American NOT because she's a woman.

BTW, I am a dissabled veteran and Hillary understands veterans better than Obama. I am also a naturalized citizen (immigrant for those who don't get it) just like Obama, but somehow Obama lost what that really means along the way

Denise, You are either missinformed or lying. Obama had 80+% support from AA in Iowa. This was before the made up spin from the MSM and Jesse Jackson jr. Look it up. It is fact.

By the way, the blacks for Obama comments: I have heard numerous women say that they are voting for Clinton because "it is her/our turn". All of you who make those comments (media included) that blacks just vote for Obama because he is black, are RACIST — you have to think that African Americans can't and don't think to make that kind of grossly offensive comment. I am sure some people do vote for that reason but not everyone! Maybe Obama being black does not scare other black Americans… take that however you like.

Pennsylvania Democrats are idiots!!!!!

This just proves my point that most people in this country are idiots. How else could bush have been elected TWICE?

Please, someone try to prove me wrong.

A little enlightenment for those of you suggesting that Barack Obama has had some kind of advantage due to high African American support. As of 2006, Blacks only made up 12.8% of the entire U.S. population and based on registered voters in the U.S. they represent only 11% according to Census Bureau data from the 2004 election. The voter demographic statistic does not account for party affiliation. Even if Obama were garnering 100% of the Black vote, any race based voting would always advantage the person of the majority race.

Linda from Atlanta,

Okay, so Hillary has the sniper fire thing. What Obama has against him is much worse…Rev. Wright, bitter remarks, patriotism questions, his ties with terrorists…….hmmmmm, let's take a look at what makes a person more electable and trustworthy. Her mistake pales in comparison to his shady connections and statements.

Race, gender play role.

Well duh, these are democrats we're talking about. For Dems, it's ALWAYS been about identity politics.

People seem to forget that plenty of the states that Obama won where a majority of the people were white, voted for Obama becuase they hated Hillary. It will be interesting to see during the general elections what our true color really are.

I believe all the small states that are the GOP states that voted for Obama did so to stop hillary from winning.

I believe that other African Americans are voting for Obama because they do not trust Hillary Clinton, as an individual. She lies ALL THE TIME!!!!

Or at least that is what most people I have spoken to think…

It is amazing how a state that has been so negatively affected by NAFTA, turns around and elect the wife of the President who created it. Boy what a mental blunder. Let the majority of voters in Pennsylvania have NAFTA (which has caused job losses in your state). You are so blinded by white that you can't see green. How could you be so pathetic! My goodness - let the blind lead the blind right back to the unemployment line and back to the war in IRAQ with no change. The rich Republicans are laughing at you! Wake up Pennsylvania the issue is about finances, jobs, the war, oil, and opportunities for our children's future.

Thank you Hillary and Bill Clinton for dividing the democratic party beyond repair for the Republicans, boy, Pennsylvania you have been duped!

Anybody out there thinks that Hillary benefit from her race!!!!

Dave, it sounds like you are saying we need Superdelegates to override what you believe is the uninformed, uneducated African American vote…

Is that what you invision when you think of American democracy?

I hope you are not typical of most Americans, particularly Democrats.

Actually, the argument was that Obama is where he is because he's black. Which is true.

Well, even with Wolf Blitzer and Cambell Brown tossing about the "black voter" suggestion for the past several days in their analyst of the pending election, why should anything other than a Hillary Clinton win be the norm… it was what CNN's efforts were directed. To continually keep the race baiting in front of the public, a majority of PA voters are white rual voters who have very little exposure to blacks. Worst of all, the state is much like Ohio… race biased as a result of its citizens ignorance of other ethnic groups (I've lived and traveled all across PA and know this for a fact). We've had two members of the same family in the presidency already, what were the results? Now we seem to be on repeat track with Hillary. Petroleum just reached $117 per barrel, Hillary just stated that she'd use military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. Obviously, she's prepared to ignore the U.S. Constitution, as well as International Law - As did our present Congress and G.W. Bush - Wall Street is unable to stabilize itself, and the dollar continues to lose value against every world currency that matters. Does anyone think Hillary has the means and knowledge to salvage our economy, avert another war that we can ill afford… I think not.

Well Hillary, why don't you Denounce and Reject the twenty percent of racists who voted for you today. Tell them you don't want their support!!!!!!!

Twenty percent! Pray tell, how did you arrive at that figure, oh mentally challenged one?

Then these polls prove what most of already knew: Hillary and her supporters are racist sexists.

Congrats Sen. Clinton, Operation Chaos was a success I guess…PA got it wrong tonight…We need a change in this country from the old politics. THis country is in trouble and we are playing games. Wake up America before it's too late.

OBAMA '08

Keep it up America with this race bs u rather vote your race or gender rather than the person best for the job and watch our country go down the toilet. We better stop promoting our golf buddies and start promoting who's best for what we need.
