Watch John King at the magic wall.

(CNN) — Watch Chief National Correspondent John King provide a historical analysis of presidential primary results in Pennsylvania as he explains why the Clinton campaign may be trying to cast Sen. Barack Obama as another Michael Dukakis in the minds of the Democratic Party’s superdelegates.

Filed under: Barack Obama • Delegates • Hillary Clinton • Pennsylvania


Debby   April 22nd, 2008 11:32 pm ET

Yes he is shaping up to be the next Dukaki. All he needs is a ride in a new shiny tank. LOL

Antoinette   April 22nd, 2008 11:32 pm ET

Go Barack, I am with you all the way. No matter what the CNN's crooks say, Obama will be the nominee and our next president.

Obama08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ishmael   April 22nd, 2008 11:31 pm ET

This is disappointing. The longer these races continue the more GOP members will go out and vote for Hillary.

McCain is setting up Hillary for failure.

Rosalynd Florida   April 22nd, 2008 11:31 pm ET

Media hype will not change the math. Barack will be the nominee and he will be our next President. Get used to it.

DD   April 22nd, 2008 11:31 pm ET

Yes, if he got nominatted. He cannot win in November, period!

eyeingtenure   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

In that case, Hillary Clinton is another Ted Kennedy. Can anyone say, "Chappaquiddick?"

Sniper Attach 08   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Obama should leave the Democratic Party to Billary since she has already divided it. Obama should run as an independent.

Paulinus   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Obama will have the last laugh when he is norminated. Do not forget Indiana and North Carolina which he will win next month

Average Joe   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

There really are some stupid comments here.

Karen G April 22nd, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Little do you know the republicans are voting for obama, if they weren't obama would be much further behind. What proof do you have that the republicans are voting for Clinton.Do you really think they are going to tell you who they are voting for.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Hillary and Bill Clinton are the "Bonnie and Clyde's of todays politics.
PA. made a huge mistake tonight. They should google "The Clinton's.
They would have voted different.

fouad ali   April 22nd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

one could easily say that about Hillary - the part where she loses I mean!

and We understand the Media Bias. She will anilate IRAN!!!???/
But We the People will back Barack as President in 08

km   April 22nd, 2008 11:29 pm ET

although…I would just like to add - I respect both candidates immensely. We are making history here! Give Barrack another several years to get wet behind the years & then take him all the way!

KW   April 22nd, 2008 11:29 pm ET

DENNIS FRANK…YOU are Absolutely RIGHT!! I said this sometime ago myself. When 90% to 95% of a race vote for the person of their race…not in one state, but in each and every state…this shows where the real racism is.

Jeanne from Ky   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Me and my whole family plan to vote for Senator Clinton and if she doesn't win the nomination we will be voting for McCain. We don't care that much for McCain but we care even less for Obama.

Clinton News Network   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Isn't it awful how we're so biased against Clinton that we print her campaign's mudslinging talking points in our headlines?
She's so oppressed.

Student   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Obama is refraining from going into negative ads like CLinton is used to. He is not giving up on his message to run a totally different campain, while CLinton is still in the mindset of the 80's

chisom   April 22nd, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Why would John King think in that direction?, i think we are over-analysising this simple Obama-winning election. cut it off!!

km   April 22nd, 2008 11:26 pm ET

I would say it is shaping up that way. Apparently the latest polls show that Republican party jumpers are jumping on the Obama wagon. How many of those voters do you think will vote for McCain if Obama is on the Democratic party ticket? All of them! These folks are trying to kill the election of the only hope (Hillary) the Democratic party has of getting in the White House.

I love watching you democrats fighting it out. In the long run you are helping the country by ensuring the election of John McCain who seems to be the only one who really knows the number one issue that this country faces…terrorism.

Mikki   April 22nd, 2008 11:24 pm ET

It's a setup. Republicans are voting for Hillary so she can go up against McCain with all her baggage and Lose. This is a ploy to keep the Republican in the White House

BJ in Idaho   April 22nd, 2008 11:24 pm ET

CNN just convinced me to send Obama a $100 donation.

Hillary! Congratulations on your big win in Pennsylvania!

MD   April 22nd, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is a traitor to the welfare of the Democratic Party.

I wish the Democratic Party Elders could grow enough spine to put an end to this charade.

In the first minute of her speech she begged people for money. That is the REAL Hillary.

Mikki   April 22nd, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Wow, the college grads broke to Hillary. She got 49% to Obama's 51%.

Unshrub   April 22nd, 2008 11:19 pm ET

Since this is Hillary's home state shouldn't she have won by a bigger margin?

mark   April 22nd, 2008 11:19 pm ET

obama lost in pennsylvania because he is black. i m a white man. i know pennsylvania. i live in a white community. i know how they think about a black man. therefore, he lost because of race.

Pete Smith   April 22nd, 2008 11:16 pm ET

Obama will win, he has been campagning against 3 people, Hillary, Bill, and Chelse. She will loose, the most of the remainder states, will end up short.

Virago8   April 22nd, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Trust me - If Hillary is the Democratic nominee I will stay home on election day!

mjc   April 22nd, 2008 11:15 pm ET

sheesh.

obama fans say, media loves hillary! when he LOSES.

hillary fans say it all the time because even if she wins they're spinning it negative, eventually!

obama is a dukakis, and a john kerry. he outspends four to one and loses the states that MATTER.

we have an ELECTORAL COLLAGE election in november.

hillary wins it.

Let's see if people are saying the same things on May 6th when Obama wins Indiana and North Carolina. The media cracks me up with their stupid analysis.

Chuck, Miami Fl   April 22nd, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Obama cant take out Hillary. Great job Hillary, and keep fighting for my vote in Florida. The supers know Obama is just another Dukakis.

Asians for Hillary   April 22nd, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Hillary is and will be a much more solid candidate to beat Mccain than Obama. All Obama supporters have to think hard what makes you support him. He has no experience at all, which can not possibly bring about any change as he claims. In the end, all of you are going to regret and resent about your choice. A vote for Hillary is the smart choice!

steveda - Poconos Pennsylvania   April 22nd, 2008 11:09 pm ET

WOW… maybe CNN should congratulate themselves for giving her a HUGE platform on Larry King last night…. and a nod to ABC for the most ridiculous debate i ever saw!

Seems the media is not as disinterested as it should be, after all there is one heck of a profit motive for them to keep the circus going. When you rent tents, you like circuses.

Greg   April 22nd, 2008 11:09 pm ET

You know the great thing? Hillary supporters are so thrilled but 3 weeks ago she had a 22% lead and now she only won by 8-10%. Not looking good when North Carolina is supposed to be in the teens for Obama.

Tyler   April 22nd, 2008 11:09 pm ET

No matter how CNN tries to slice and dice their slanted reporting the bottom line is that Hillary's mouth didn't even come close to the stated expectations reported four weeks earlier.

Three words!!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN!

Senator Obama will be our next president.

Anee   April 22nd, 2008 11:08 pm ET

Clinton is a fighter! She never gives up! Like her or hate her you gotta respect her courage!!! I want someone like her on my team. Snobama would run away when the going gets tough!

I swear, WE Americans are suffering from a mean case of batterd womens syndrome!!!!!!!!!! WE elect the same self centered, power hungry polliticians year after year. They beat us down and we come back for more!!!

PATHETIC!!!!!

WE deserve to lose our homes, jobs, savings, freedoms ect……

No Obama   April 22nd, 2008 11:07 pm ET

He sure thinks highly of himself- he will not only change the country but also the world.

And yet… He can win ONLY about 50% of the votes of the faithful.

IF he is so great- why can't he win a clear mandate?

And we are not even counting Fl and Mi.

And he is spending record amount of money.

I will never vote for him because he is a hypocrite that is stealing the nomination by unfair means.

Anonymous   April 22nd, 2008 11:07 pm ET

Absolutely, for a campaign that said it isn't about race - as it has turned out - that is exactly what it is about.
Hillary covers every base.

BIG JIM , nashville, tn   April 22nd, 2008 11:06 pm ET

not only is he going to be another dukakis, but how about mc govern and mondale, lose 49 states. A bigot, racist, and liar is hard to get to the white house. America has been suckered by this guy and it is too late for the democrats to straighten it out, so the gop will win in nov.

Mary   April 22nd, 2008 11:02 pm ET

CNN actually rejected an earlier comment I made because I called them the Clinton News Network…so they just proved my point even more. I think that if Obama should win this nomination (and he will), he should be sure to refuse to have anything to do with CNN…MSNBC is at least somewhat fair in their coverage.

Jack Robertson   April 22nd, 2008 10:47 pm ET

The comparison to Dukakis is an insult to Barack Obama. Obama is by a landslide the more intelligent of the two men. CNN, like other pro-Clinton media outlets, is merely providing more negative spin about Obama in order to bolster Hillary's losing crusade for the Democratic nomination. Why don't you guys get it? The fat lady is already singing. Clinton is toast. Get on with life and get over it! Obama will be the nominee whether you like it or not.

charleychaplin   April 22nd, 2008 10:47 pm ET

All the media slighting, insults, name-calling, condemnations, ridicule and even every one of the news anchors and each and every talking head on the TV attacking her; and every major news paper columnist insulting, trashing and ridiculing her, in spite of her own long time colleagues Sen. Kerry and Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Bill Bradley, Gov. Bill Richardson and may others betraying her and turning their backs on her and endorsing and campaigning for opponent─ the new kid on the block Sen. Obama─ in spite of shocking defeats and setbacks she had suffered, she had persevered, she had come back to show her power, and persistence, with more determination; more humbleness and grace. She’s my hero; my shinning knight in armor who fights relentlessly for us humble folk like us, the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the shift workers, the poor, the immigrants, the ridiculed, the neglected; we the toilers for our hourly-wagers, the elderly and the disabled, she’s our champion! For us she cuts a heroic figure, because she keeps on fighting for us! With her determination and tenacity she had shown she’s more than ready to lead our great land; and with the help of humble folks like us─ not like snobs in the media, I know some of you in the media want to burn her on a stake, but at the end mark my words ─I know she will triumph over all adversity; I know she’s make history! Hillary Clinton is my Joan of Arc!

Is it me or is CNN so negative on Hillary because she is the candidate that can beat McCain? My opinion is that CNN is for McCain, which is not a bad choice.

The analyst looked so odd trying to disect Hillary's win from every angle. I'm uncomfortable for the analyst.

The American public   April 22nd, 2008 10:46 pm ET

CNN is very biased in their news coverage for their candidate Barrack Hussain Obama white. They have becaome the joke network in television and the news media. Fox news is even looking very good these days compared to the lies that this derogatory jerry springer network.

Jim   April 22nd, 2008 10:46 pm ET

Limbaugh had actively urged his Texas listeners to cross over and vote for Clinton in that state's open primary, arguing it helps the Republicans if the Democratic race remains unsettled for weeks to come.

She's broke but she's still getting large numbers in votes. That don't add up.

Anonymous   April 22nd, 2008 10:44 pm ET

all the other conversations are closed. Would love to know why CNN closes them so quickly.
But if you really think Obama will win in the fall, I'm not sure. I am an independant that has 80% of the time voted Democratic.10% Republican and 10% stay home if there is no canidate I can support. I believe that alot of the new voters will be the same way and alot of Hillary supporters are the same way. So he will lose some of the democratic votes being cast through out this primary. He is no shoe in in November .
I will be staying home in November if Hillary doesn't win. I won't vote for McCain and I won't vote for Obama.
So I can see where Obama could be the next Dukakis

Hope   April 22nd, 2008 10:44 pm ET

The only ones who desire for Hillary to stay in the race are journalists.CNN(Clinton's News Network) is so biased and so racist. Hillary was expected to win. Obama closed the gap from 22 points to 8, and yet the pundits spin it to be a big win. Gergen is the only one who is honest and realistic. Shame on you CNN.

Marge Hibbing Mn   April 22nd, 2008 10:44 pm ET

It is so sickening the way the male blogs and the male senators and representatives are kissing up to obama.

HE CAN NOT WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION. We see that more and more each day. He''s got the black vote. They deserted the Clintons after all they had done for them in Clinton's administration just to see a black man win the candidacy. And it is a shame they are going after the weakest candidate they could choose.

The states obama won are republican states that have not voted democratic in 70 to 100 years. And the male blog sites just keep on keeping on because they do not have balls to support a strong woman. They are shooting themselves in the butt and they will cause the Democrats to loose…BET ON IT.

No!. Barack is going to end up winning this nomination. One state doesn't decide who wins. Every state matters. If one state chooses a nominee, I'm sure Barack would've bet on Illinois and Hillary would've done the same for New York. This is a part of the process and in two weeks from now, when Barack wins Indiana and North Carolina then it'll be over. This was expected. Hilary started with a lead close to 30% and if she wins by under 10 points, it's good for Barack.

can't believe   April 22nd, 2008 10:43 pm ET

hillary will say anything to get elected, but America, wake up - she's a dishonest, old-school politician.

Kimberly   April 22nd, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Make her stop! In it to win sounds VERY familiar. Can you say George Bush? Without regard for "we the people", he has pushed on with his OWN agenda.

She is diluting hope and a "shiny penny" phenomenon that has not existed since I was a little girl.

Sure she is smart, but she is all EGO………look at who she married!

Robert   April 22nd, 2008 10:42 pm ET

All this talk about Clinton getting the nomination makes me sick…If the DNC super delagates screw this up and give the nomination to Hillary, Mccain will be the next president of the united states…

CStroud   April 22nd, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get objective reporting and not spin straight from the Clinton camp. This is why I have turned my TV off for the evening. Clinton News Network- or is it Corporate News Network?

David Smith, Richmond VA   April 22nd, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Hillary is ripping out democratic party apart. STOP THE NEGATIVITY. I'm an Obama supporter and these constant attacks are polarizing the party. People say he's being negative… PROVE IT. All he's been trying to do is defend himself from each little piece of trash Hillary digs out of his garbage.

Christian, Tampa FL   April 22nd, 2008 10:41 pm ET

Please, there's no comparison. This race needs to end. Hillary's putting out adds with Osama bin Laden in them and saying she'll obliterate Iran. End the drama, vote Obama.

Geric   April 22nd, 2008 10:41 pm ET

MORE POWER TO HILLARY !!!!

Michelle Gohanna   April 22nd, 2008 10:41 pm ET

Clinton supporters need to stop being afraid of "CHANGE". This country desperately needs it. Don't repeat what happened 8 and 4 years ago!! The same Ol' Politics

David from Florida   April 22nd, 2008 10:41 pm ET

Obama is a gracous competitor and he has moved on to the next state to win his victory over Cliniton.

patrick   April 22nd, 2008 10:40 pm ET

The media has turned on Obama to keep the contest going and get ratings. They were pro-obama when he was behind. They'll do anything to continue getting ratings on these primary nights. It's really sad that ethics doesn't exist in the media anymore.

Des,Toronto   April 22nd, 2008 10:40 pm ET

They are still bitter and out of jobs.Too bad they choose the wedge issues and the liar over reason. Obama's crusade for change and hope is still alive and well.Give her the nomonation(or steal it) and McCain the presidency and it is gauranteed you wil have another miserable 4 to 20 years. Good luck!! Speak the truth and you loose..great country.

Obama 08

Proud American   April 22nd, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Hillary is only prolonging the inevitable. She cant/ wont win. But atleast it looks nice.

Sherylanne   April 22nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Obama ran out of PA the minute he knew he would lose before the results came in. That's how he'll lead this country.

BYE BYE OBAMA

Mary in Al   April 22nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Senator Obama will win this nomination. He has the delegates which is what determines the winner in the democratic primary. The clintons will not redefine the rules in reality, only in spin. Under no circumstances will I vote for Hillary the Liar with No Shame. Senator Obama had best not have her on the ticket if he wants to win.

Only Obama 08

Terri S   April 22nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Barack Obama is SO not like Michael Dukakis. That would have to be some serious spin.

Jim   April 22nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET

She should quit. Republicans are voting for her is large numbers just to turn around and vote for mccain in the general election.

Joan - Yardley   April 22nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gerry   April 22nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Please, Hillary needs to win all the balance of the primaries by a 70-30 split and she's saying what?

Put this lady in a straight jacket and put her away.

SA in OO   April 22nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET

When the voting public is too stupid to look beyond the labels that the candidates try to paste on each other, we deserve the government we get.

Grif   April 22nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Hillary Capillary… She's coming through…Make way for the Tidal Wave…

Chris   April 22nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET

This is almost laughable just like Texas where she was leading by 30- 20 points and finally Obama came in and made it very insignificant. All Obama needs to do is take a nap until North Carolina and he will still win the nomination. I did the delegate count using the tracker you guys have. In order for Hillary to even smell victory Obama needs to lose the next 9 states and lose NC by 65% .Hahaha..dream on Hillary. Obama accomplished his goal. Hillary will gain what..10 points in delegates…Good luck Hillary. Keep us entertained.

Adam   April 22nd, 2008 10:35 pm ET

The fact remains, if Hillary wins the nomination, it will be against the will of the voters. If that happens, there will be many who will have their newly found enthusiasm stripped from them and they will not vote.

CP Duluth, MN   April 22nd, 2008 10:35 pm ET

What sort of question is that? Are you a news organization or a branch of the Clinton campaign??

Scott Brown Palm Bay Florida   April 22nd, 2008 10:35 pm ET

He is not shaping up to be another Dukakis-he is another Dukakis. My point being the democratic party is so split between the far left (Obama) and the moderate to responsible left (Clinton). If Clinton does not win the nomination which she won't a large percentage will simply move to the moderate McCain. I can't wait to see Obama's head poking out of a tank!

Rhonda Davis   April 22nd, 2008 10:35 pm ET

Obama will be the next President .

Jim   April 22nd, 2008 10:35 pm ET

Obama will continue and he shall prevail.

Ann, MI   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

Hillary Clinton doesn't have a chance, but she decided to take down the winning candidate with her sinking ship. Its really pitiful to see a strong woman act like this.

Denis Frank   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

It is unfortunate that the support from the African American Demographic is so skewed to Obama that the support is effectively, a complete majority support.

Every other demographic (Catholic, Protestants, White men, White women, Latinos, 60+ years etc) is reasonable and respectable in the support for or against the 2 candidates (I.E 65% TO 35% OR 60% TO 40% etc.).

Essentially it would seem that African Americans have biased their selection based on RACE primarily and this fact cannot be disputed.

I wonder what that demographic (African-American constituency) would think or how they would react if say 95%+ of the women would vote for Hillary or 95%+ of all whites would vote for Hillary. Racism works both ways and the lack of reasonable support for Hillary from the African American community is quite shameful after the many years that the Clintons have supported the needs of these folks.

Blind support based on RACE for any candidate (Clinton, Obama or McCain)is unacceptable in a mature Democracy.

I am sure some people will object to these comments but those are the raw facts. I am an independent (recently decided) who supports Hillary but if say Colin Powell was on a ticket I would have absolutely no problem in voting for a statesman and patriotic hero like Mr. Powell, a person who I deeply respect.

Hillary for me is now the clear choice after she has demonstrated her grit in PA after Obama has spent himself silly in the negative adverts by a margin of 3 to 1.

kentucky   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

she said "YES YES YES he can beat John McCain!!!

Chris in Va.   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

Irrelevant really.

Richard   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

No doubt. I just hope the Obamabots can change because words and HISTORY matter.

Disappointed by the MEDIA   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

WOW JOHN KING AND CAMPBELL (whatever her last name is!!! EVERYDAY YOU PROVE TO ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HILLARY!!! Either that, or you're on her payroll. It's honestly a disgusting lack of professinalism..CNN has disappointed me so much, by all this anti-Obama press! If it would be the other way around and Hillary was in Obama's shoes, you wouldn't even pay attention to Obama!!!

HILLARY IS THE ELITE!!!! SHE WILL NOT WIN!!! I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR MCCAIN!

Besides, she only won by 7-8 points? Wow.

kevin from alaska   April 22nd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

it depends.. do you listen to what Obama actually has to say or what the Clinton camp has to say about him

Anybody but Hillary OR McCain OR Bush '08

Jay   April 22nd, 2008 10:33 pm ET

Please don't insult Dukakis!

Kevin   April 22nd, 2008 10:33 pm ET

You guys will say anything for headlines….

ND   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Actually, Hillary seems more Dukakis-like, doing shots and pandering outside her element. More appropriately, however, is how Hillary will be knocked down by Republican negative advertising, not unlike how Dukakis was killed politically by the Willie Horton ad. When Republicans start splashing Vincent Foster's face on the screen, and asking tough questions about Travelgate, Whitewater, office break-ins, missing documents, and so forth, we'll see a repeat of 1988.

You know that's going to happen!

Dan from Illinois   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

To answer the question: Yes.

Kevin from MN   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

If what Hillary says is true, and she can deliver Pennsylvania and Ohio, she'd make one heck of a running mate…..

Peter   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

What should this slogan "Hillary wins the big states" mean? That is nonense! Hillary won nearly all HER big states at a very very narrow margin and in an election against an other democratic candidate… Obama didnt lost with +10, 20, 30 or more percent behind her in this big states as outsider und unliked person!

Obama has the lead and Clinton can't get more votes at total.

At the real election against McCain the narrow wins of Clinton in a few big states doesnt matter. The voters for change, the DEMs would clearly vote too in the states which Obama lost marginal for him…

Obama is the leader at all results in total, nationwide polls and becomes the candidate. All other is stupid pr spin from the Clinons.

fran   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

No, because he's not going to get the nomination from his party.
Hillary is going to be the next President of the United States. She's a fighter and Clinton's do not quit until they win. They have never lost a major election and isn't about to start now.

Linda Montgomery   April 22nd, 2008 10:32 pm ET

There is nothing in Obama's campaign that meets any historical fact. He has run his campaign differently, with a 50 state approach, so that will end up differently than going for the big states only.

Obama will be the nominee. Clinton is not leading by enough to make a big dent in the delegate count, and Pennsylvania will probably be her best state. He will do better in NC and Indiana.

So, good try, but no. It is Obama.

AZM   April 22nd, 2008 10:31 pm ET

I don't see the similarity at all…
Dukakis had a clue…

Nobama No Way

LOL…. Way to go Hillary… it's on now!

Bayou Joe   April 22nd, 2008 10:31 pm ET

What an insult to Senator Dukakis. He is actually more like George McGovern. Lots of talk and no action.

James   April 22nd, 2008 10:31 pm ET

John king.where did you bring that contrast?From your pocket?

Lucas Hart   April 22nd, 2008 10:30 pm ET

Pa voters are deconstructing Obama!!!!

MCD   April 22nd, 2008 10:30 pm ET

No he isn't but it makes a nice headline for you.

When we get to the general, the numbers of a united democratic party will crush McCain.

But again, it makes a nice headline.

LifeLongDemocrat   April 22nd, 2008 10:29 pm ET

Hillary distiny is a jail cell
