After all, winning 45% of the vote in PA is really some achievement. It could've been worse if election had been conducted a month ago when Mrs. Hillary had a good lead in the polls. Still, the Obama camp has lots of homeworks to do if the said 'change' slogan is to be made practical !!!

OH MY GOD! you're right.

we'll maybe she hopes and prays that you'll give her just ONE MORE CHANCE to loose, in 2012 when she runs for RELECTION.

you people in that camp are such big time sore losers, it's frightening.

HILLARY '09.

Iam so proud of you OBAMA for narrowing the gap tonite.The truth must be told,nobody expected you to come this far,talkless of beating Hillary -a well known Political figure in American politics.Now .listen,you need to go back to your beginning,the message of hope,change,inspiration,.Tell both young and old americans,in clear terms,how you will handle ,the economy,the collapsing mortgage industry,the war in Iraq,the education sector,social security,job creation,energy,immigration,how you will restore the good name of america to the entire world …just to mention a few.Remember it is a selling game…you need to sell your self to the american public more..,Dont be afraid, dont be tired,GO,OBAMA..GO FOR GOLD

Can anyone tell me what is meant by "closing the deal"? Tuesday night after Senator Hillary Clinton was declared victorious, media across all networks were singing from the same choir, "Obama can't seem to close the deal".

Even if he earned all the electoral delegates in the PA primary, mathematically he would still be shy the 2025 delegates required to claim the nomination.

Hillary will never dropout of this race, NEVER! These so-called "superdelagates" will "close the deal" at the Democratic Convention for Hillary Clinton. Neither she or Barack Obama will have the 2025 delegates to claim the nomination. Obama will have more delegates and most likely the popular vote, but the Clinton Political Machine will call in all its "IOU's".

Poor leadership in the Democratic Party will cost the party & the American citizens(most important) a legitimate opportunity for significant change in this country's short history.

"I'm letting the Iranians know, we will obliterate them." – Clinton #2

let the clintons keep shouting off. besides it being entertaining, they alone are showing us Americans just how despicable they truely are. despite their own racist hypocritical machine, Obama lost by only 9 points. this was supposed to be written off on feb. 5 and look where we are now, the Clintons are broke, tripping, stumbling and grabbing whatever they can to win ugly.

i love this country. obama 08!

this is a dream ticket….The Democrats should think this over….if they want to take back the White House they would put Hillary and Obama in the same ticket……Hillary is older and experienced…..let her be the top name….8 years for her….when she is done ..Obama is ready for another 8 years…if you put Obama as President and Hillary as VP they would only have 8 years in the White House….Hillary would be too old to run for 8 years….I say put Hillary on top NOW!!!! Obama is young… this will give him more experience…and will be ready for the next 8 years terms…..This is a once in a liftime dreams for the Democrats to control the white House for the next 16 years….Forget the bickerings and work together Democrats!!!!!!!!

with Obama must be getting money from over sea, middle east cash, helping to get Obama Hussan in the White House, hw would have Taped out his base suporters long time ago, so just were is all this money comming from ????

I don't recall a campaign where so much negativity ever happened before.
The media, it seems , decided Hillary should quit a long time ago. That is where the most negativity is coming from. The rest , is from the bickering of two candidates that should have risen above that pettiness. It's not too late to do that.
I think the American people should realize that politics is – and has been- a cesspool of lies and deceit from almost anyone that has ever run for office.
However there are also many truths, and it's the truth we voters need to find and to focus on. It remains on record what each person has thus far accomplished in their lives, and all the experiences that have tested their mettle.
Clinton has the experience and the steel.We need a tough person like Hillary, to overcome the damages of the Bush administration.
We are left with a war, a terribly damaged economy that will take generations to recover from, and a reputation that has been damaged world wide.
So keep your chin up Hillary and let's hope you're our first lady president. We need you!
It is also wonderful that both candidates have broken ground on what should have happened many long years ago… a woman and a black man running for the most demanding , highest office in our country!
Yea for the Democratic party…we've got it right! Now let's make it perfect! Perhaps Hillary will choose a black lady as a running mate!
Wow…wouldn't that be a great first!?

Hillary..congratulations…U could have got a 20 point lead if u had just been as calm and gratious as u were in any debate complimenting Obama and spoke less.

Go Barack,show them how it's done….Hillary can only delay the enevitable….Obama for America….

You all don't get it….put them both in the ticket, Hillary for President ….Obama as her VP… 8 years for Hillary….another 8 years for Obama….this way the Democrat can control the White House for 16 years….Hillary can win the big states where the highest electoral votes count….and Obama can deliver the small states…together they are dynamic…and Obama can get in for 16 years!!!!!!

I think in the end the lesson of what's happening (and not just in PA) is this:

This country is not ready for a woman to be President. (This isn't a slam against Hillary, it's about us).

The Powers That Be in both parties would rather nominate a black man, with questionable amount of experience, as well as questionable talent to engage everyone in his own party (yes, that's a slight slam against Obama) then they will a white woman no matter who she would be.

In the end, which I suspect after the fact that she doesn't do as well as she needs to in Indiana & Kentucky (even if she wins both, if she only wins with these 55% to 56% to 45% to 44% margins then that will not be enough for her to collect enough delegates — and no, Puerto Rico at the very end won't help, and I'd have to think that would clear to the most hardened Clinton supporter and aide come the day after these May primaries) & yes, Obama (for good or ill) wins rather big in North Carolina (although I suspect it will be a closer margin, after PA, then what is being seen in polls as of now, I suspect Hillary will close the gap to something like 59% to 41% — a similiar margin as in Wisconsin), that Hillary will suspend (but not necessarily drop out, leading to her still winning, Puerto Rico) her campaign sometime around May 20, 2008. This will acknowledge the fact that she can not make up the difference in pledged delegates, and give superdelegates some leaway, as well as the gift of making sure we have a united party. It will also give her some chance at helping to decide who Obama will need to choose as his Vice Presidential running mate (I doubt Hillary will want to run as Vice President, she will probably have more power as a New York U.S. Senator than as a VEEP & if Obama/? lose in November {I would say it would be a very close loss & more than likely it will be over the international stage than on the economy — if Obama loses closely it means by November the economy isn't as bad as it seems, now}, Hillary still has that U.S. Senate seat, as does chastined Obama).

But for now, Obama's campaign needs to be as gracious as he appeared to be, and give Hillary her due on winning in PA!

To all democrats, I was a Clinton supporter, I felt the economy was good in the 90's and I felt that Bill Clinton was one of the people. What people fail to understand is that Hillary is not Bill. Bill wasn't the richest kid, he was adopted, and he truly had humble beginnings, not Hillary. My point is, I understand how much people would like to see Hillary in the White House. Many women are waiting for this moment. However, what we have to keep in mind are the facts, not opinion because we want things our way, but the hard, cold, facts. I am against War and the idea that Hillary, gave George Bush the okay to invade Iraq, Hillary actually trusted George Bush!! I find that truly amazing. What that Shows me is that when the it's time to stand up….Hillary stands up, alright when there is something for her to gain out of it. My point is Hillary and John Mccain are the reason we are in this mess with Iraq distracting us from Afghanistan. She didn't say no. On one of the most important issues we needed her to stand up and she let this country down. In my mind, if anyone supported that war, that has cost over 4,000+ American troops to die, I cannot stand up for you. Obama, however took a stand, when it was uncomfortable, when everyone was jumping on the ship Of George Bush's Fear Ride, Obama said No! I am not concerned with his color. I am concerned with his intent. If America is truly where we claim to be in this country, then people will put their fears aside and think logically. Did experience put us in this position we are now or not? Wake up people!! Different doesn't have to scare us! Obama wants people to become involved in the process and that is a breathe of fresh air. If your choice is based on race, then continue with that shallow mentality, but if you want substance, common sense, and has the peaceful demeanor to resolve our issue from a broader perspective, then Obama it is. Unfortunately people let race be the factor instead of the persons intentions. Obama isn't running against just Hillary it's him against Bill, & Chelsea! I applaud him and support him for slicing her pie in half….Keep going Barack!!!
You have made history already and will continue to do so once you clinch the nomination. Hillary ? Yesterday's news!! Obama the future!!!
DO THE MATH>>>>> WINNER HAS MOST NUMBERS NOT THE MOST WISHFUL THINKING!!!

Barack Obama swamped the media space in PA with what was called an "obscene" amount of spending. It back-fired on him.

I don't think that we are back to "square one" because of that advertising budget. If he couldn't "close the deal" with the colossal budget he had, there's a problem.

Some of the drawbacks of an Obama candidacy came out. He is no longer the "Mr. Chance" of that Peter Sellers movie Being There. He can no longer serve as a screen onto which voters project their desires like the "hero" of that film.

And the African American vote has started to de-consolidate. Which is a good thing. A vote which is too racially aligned creates divisive dynamics for the entire country.

You all don't get it ….are you all NO BRAIN….IF THE DEMOCRATS PUT THEM BOTH IN THE TICKET…HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT AND OBAMA AS HER VP, HILLARY WILL BE IN WHITE HOUSE FOR 8 YEARS AND OBAMA CAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT FOR ANOTHER 8 YEARS…THEN THE DEMOCRAT CAN CONTROL THE WHITE HOUSE FOR 16 YEARS.. OBAMA WILL BE IN FOR 16 YEARS…THIS IS HOW TO PLAY THE GAMES….HILLARY CAN WIN THE BIG STATES WHERE THE HIGHEST ELECTORAL COMES…AND OBAMA CAN WIN THE SMALL STATES…TOGETHER THEY ARE DYNAMIC…

Obama may have trouble in the few "big" states against Hillary, but this does not mean he would have that same trouble against McCain. Further, although Hillary could win a few big states, she still couldn't win very many states. Obama clearly has the best chance to win the general election since he is competetive even when he loses the "big" states, which does not include Texas which he in fact won. Plus Hillary has soiled her image and the democratic party's image. I was previously for Hillary, but she lost my vote and my confidence in her has been shattered by her campaining.

You Obama Supporters really make me want to Puke — this KOOL-AID Generation just cannot accept the basic fact that Hillary is a much better person to be in the White House. You will try to SPIN to your way constantly. The really SAD fact is that I was an Obama Supporter but you Obama people changed my mind by the way you act and the most VILE and DISGUSTING BLOGS I read on the different articles on CNN and Fox News. I do not want to be on that type of team. So thank You Obama Supporters — you have completely turned me off to Obama. I also know many people who feel the exact same way. I am also extremely surprised how many people I talk to here in Michigan that will not vote for Obama because he would not OK another vote for us. The people I talk to said they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Democratic Nomination. GOOD LUCK OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!!!

If Hillary just lost her last best chance, then it looks like McCain will be the next president. Cause like myself there are quite a few others who won't vote for Obama. If I had to vote bewteen him and McCain then it would be McCain. I said had to vote, since I don't have to vote I join a long line that will not be voting if not for Hillary.

Go Hillary next president!

Barak Obama was in Evansville this evening and i had no clue, probably because no one even wanted him here. We do not care much for Barak Obama in Southern Indiana. Everyone in Indiana knows you will not win the state without winning the 8th district. That is of course why it is called the bloody 8th. This is the first time Barak Obama has made an appearance in southern Indiana since he has been coming to our state. The larger African American population resides in and around Gary, IN. and that is where he chooses to spend most of his efforts campaigning. Why is it that only when he is loosing by a substantial margin in Pensylvania that he has decided to come to Southern Indiana where he didn't even give a second look at a week ago? He is scared because someone told him you will not win without the 8th district. After his staggering loss in Pensylvania he has decided all of a sudden that he needs Indiana. Well, guess what too late. Here in Southern Indiana we know about Politics and know how to use our votes to take out the most popular of candidates. So, congratulations HRC you will win Indiana for sure.

Yes, she won PA. When all the Wal-mart Board members doing's are put out, look out. HRC was a board member when the Wal-mart meat-cutters/butchers were put out of work, had signed for union shop, and a Wal-mart store closed completely in Canada And She is (against) NAFTA, haw haw.

I will hold my Union nose and vote for her if Obama does not get the nomination.

Anyone, who thinks that DNC will use super delegates to overturn Obama's victory and choose Hillary, needs to get his/her head checked. Obama is leading with 150 pl. delegates and there is nothing Hillary can do to close this gap. Those 10 delegates that she gained in PA only prolong the fight she has already lost.

After every state has voted, the worst she can do to Obama is to narrow it down to 100 delegates. Since there are 7 states still left, from now on they will be arguing over peanuts. The writing is on the wall and Hillary is the only one too stubborn to read it.

NO BIG LANDSLIDE FOR CLINTON!! VERY CLOSE OBAMA08′

Yesterday I heard the speech of Senator Obama after his defeat in Pennsylvania. First I want to say that Senator Obama seems to be a men with vision but in his speech he did'nt mension former President B. Clinton when he spoke over presidents with a great legancy. I don't understand why he denies President Clinton and the democratic Party the respect they deserve. Remember that both houses where dominate by Rep. In europe and i guess also in other part of the world people still have good memories, the time President Clinton was in office and speak highly of him. Senator Obama is a great men but even greater when he salute former President Clinton.

Treaties aren't negotiated on "hope and change" You know what Jay u are so right only our Country was founded on it. So what's wrong with that… I hope everyday that the war in Iraq comes to an end and for a change in our "Gov" from the status quo. Every one attacks him for having no experience but forgot that Bill Clinton himself was just a darn Gov with no experience himself…. but sometimes to shake things up in Washington u need someone from the out outside. Not someone who has been in bed with a ton of lobbyist who cares nothing about whats is right but only about there own views….I was not going to use my superdelegate vote at first and wanted to stay neutral but …… you know what My mom is going to have alot to say but "HILL" has really piss'ed me off You know greed is a deadly sin and her hidden ambitions scare me and I will now cast my vote for Obama and plan on donatin my full 2300 to his campaing hopefully my freinds will do the same and get him another 40 mil to defeat Old man McCain in Nov

"08″ Indiana 4 OBAMA "08″

While it is ok for the media that this circus continues, it is dangerous for the democratic party. First, Clinton and her advisers are no longer fighting to win the democratic nomination, but to ensure that she lives to compete in 2012. They know Obama will win the nomination. So her strategy is to destroy Obama to make him as unelectable in November as possible and for the democratic party to lose to the Republicans and McCain in November. In that way, there will be no democratic incumbent come 2012 for whom to compete against. Otherwise, Hilary will be almost 70 years old were a democrat to win 08 and 2012. As we can see, her campain is more for herself than the democratic party. The media has helped her in this quest with the silliness around big states and electoral colleges. For crying out loud, the democratic primary is won on delegates counts and the results of voting now cannot be conflated with voting patterns in November when the whole country, not only democrats vote for the presidential candidate. The popular votes and the big state arguments is like saying in NHL (Hockey) division playoffs, we must ignore the best of seven but also consider how many face offs won and how many goals the losing team scored in the three games they won and award the divisional championship to them, not the team that took 4 out of 7 games. Unfortunately, the media is not challenging these kind of ludicruous Clinton campaign grasping at twigs. But of course what she needs is time to destroy Obama and the democratic party and hand 08 to McCain so Clinton lives to contest in 2012. Otherwise there is simply no rationale inside of the democratic nominating rules and prodedures that she could point to to support why she is still in the race and running as negatively as she is doing. Whatever her claims of what the republican will do to the democratic candidate in November, leave it to the Republicans to bring up what they want, but not for the democrats to cripple the democratic nominee and the democratic party. Enough already of this self-interested, illogical and unrealistic arguments. It is simply irrational at times.

Hillary got a much needed win tonight.

Though, she should still drop out. The "big state" argument is so arbitrary and weak. Obama is winning the delegates, popular vote, and the most contests and all Hillary can say is that she won the big state. Even if that mattered, thats not entirely true.

Hillary did win in Penn tonight, but her claim that she wins all the big states is wrong. She lost in Texas! Despite the media initially calling her the winner, she lost by 2 or 3 delegates, because of how big a margin Obama had in the caucus. And I do believe that Texas is bigger than Ohio and Penn together

If Hillary Clinton becomes the President of America did anyone knows the name of the Bush that will be president before Chelsea Clinton in the Federal Kingdom of America?. I just want to update my records.

Roshawda

You're for clinton now ? a documented liar , Who is a monster that would do anything even kill the party to get what she wants , And she has no chance at all ~ so it must be Macain , he's so old he cant do 2 terms he will never win after they see him flip out when questioned

He's not right

For all the talk, Michigan and Florida will have their delegates seated. When that happens, Hillary will have both the popular and delegate vote.
(If you counted just Florida, Hillary will have that now)

Hillary knows this. Obama might complain, but all I can say, well Barack you might have guessed right about Iraq but you go Michigan and Florida wrong.

If hillary is nominated despite Obama's lead, that is cheating.

if I blame Mugabe and Sadam for rigging elections to perpetrate themselves at the head of their nation, what is clinton/bush
doing?

if you see anything different, I see the same old tactics and bloodshed.

How is it that Obama, the front-runner who outspent Clinton in PA 4-1 in media buys, direct mail and more, couldn't close the deal? How come he lost by a 10-point margin to Clinton?

The time has come for the Obama camp to stop trying to steal this election away and feign some mandate that the electorate hasn't given them. Let the process play out, and let's hear the mandate of ALL voters. (Yes, even the disenfranchised ones in FL and MI.)

Clinton's won the big states, she's won the popular vote. He's won the caucus states and the delegates. They both have compelling arguments – give the voters some respect and allow us ALL to decide who we want to be our nominee.

Stop the smoke sceen, Hillary was up by 20-30 points but only won by 10 points was this really a great victory for her? Naturally Obama had to out spend her, she was supposed to win.

Obama forge ahead you are the chosen one for the liberation of America

I'm amazed PA chose Clinton? 60% of America distrusts her. She helped destroy PA with NAFTA ~ She lied on TV about sniper fire , and hey Mr. and Mrs. America it's a job interview ~ She's applying to be President and she lied and PA chose her ? She cant manage her campaign finances or pay her bills on time ask OHIO , but some people expect her to manage the country? she needed a blow out 500,000 more votes, a 70/30 to put a dent in the delegates .

The rest of the states should learn a lesson from here. Clinton will say anything, do anything, to win. Are you going to be sucked in by it?

Oh and the spin goes round and round. Clinton beat him by 10%!!!!
That is double digits. Big big win for her and the momentum goes her way.
Obama is showing who he really is. Their camp has a lot of spin to do, but it is too late. People have his number and the supers will go to Hillary as she can beat McCain.
Obama has not won one single big state and those are states that are necessary to win the general.
Obama and his camp need to accept they lost and move on or they will just look like whiners again.

There is no way without reinstating Michigan/Florida Delegates or the Super Delegates overriding the popular vote that Clinton can realistically win the nomination. If either one happens, the Democrats will replace the hanging chad and/or the stealing the White House via the U.S. Supreme Court title from the Republicans.

From this point on, Democrats are giving the Republicans the advantage by allowing them to campain for the general election, while we twittle our thumbs for the next four months.

Also, HRC is 10 million in debt and Obama has 42 million plus 10 million set aside for the general election. Who has the money and/or management skills?

Besides, the Clinton's and Bush's have been in the White House for twenty tears.

It is time for a change.

GO Obama!

Both the Obama camp and his supporters are being very ugly. Their comments are quite unbecoming. I am beginning to dislike all of them.

The theory is that superdelegates are going to decide this. And they are going to decide for whoever they think has the best chance of beating McCain.
The reality is that a small group of perhaps 10 people on the DNC national committee are actually going to decide who is the nominee. And they are going to go tell all the superdelegates how to vote. And if any of the superdelegates go against them, those superdelegates will be out of politics forever, and all the resources of the DNC will be brought to bear on them. If they live in a machine-controlled city (like Chicago) they can expect to not have a job the next day, and everyone in their family to not have a job. Life will be very uncomfortable for them. So they won't go against what the party tells them to do. That is after all why the superdelegate system was created – so that if a tie happens, that the backroom wheelers and dealers can fix it.
Right now the absolute very best ticket in the fall would be a combined Hillary/Obama ticket. With one as the presidential nominee, and the other as the Vice President. In one fell swoop that would sew together any divisions in the party. It's pretty clear that Hillary would take Obama as VP. It's also pretty clear that Obama wouldn't take Hillary as VP if he could help it. But, he isn't going to get a choice. If the party backroom wheelers and dealers decide Obama will be it, then the deal offered to Obama will be to give him the superdelegates if he takes Hillary as VP. If the party backroom wheelers and dealers decide Hillary is it, the deal will be to give her the superdelegates if she takes Obama.

You can sit an argue about numbers but the fact remains is she still won. If it was Obama who won you wouldn't be saying that! So stop your whinning!

All that money Obama spent, just proves money can't buy you love!

In the end what it is going to come down to is who is more attractive to the base. Obama may have gotten more states but they are mostly red states. When you look at the ratio of Democrat verses Republicans in these states it don't add up either. There are more Republicans in these states then Democrat. And the one's that crossed over to vote for Obama, chances are they will cross right back
in the GE. Independents can go either way.

Oh and btw now that I read the blog who are the people who are being negative. Not Hillary's! But Oh I shouldn't be saying that about the Great and Almighty Obama and his supporters thay would never do that….I must be out of my mind to think that…NOT!

Out spent? To whom? That money went straight to the media's bank account.

I will suggest Obama use the money to work with the poors in the rest fo the contests, rather than give it to the media to bash him.

SUPER DELS. BETTER TAKE NOTE I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE PARTY.BILL AND HILL NEED TO JUST GO AWAY.

LOOKS LIKE BIG JOHN IS GOING TO BE THE MAN.!!!

congratulation hilliar,,,its a success well achieved, either by tooth and nail or not, success is success,,,at least i am slightly relieved,that these negative biting and tearing your colleague and party down,, will be reduced,,even if its been imbibed in you,,so My question for you is this?? Ater this what next? see this result as a good dividend of your negativity,,, and keep on with it,, or remodify your lies and present it to indiana people,,,,but one thing i am 1000percent sure of is that,,, people that votes for you are just people that are very gullible,and perhaps even deceitful on their own part,,,,and let you go all the way to clear the remaining primaries,,,i wont stil dance to your tune,, and if i do in november i do it cos im scared of mcbush,,but then i wont be expecting anything good from your regime as well,, same old politics same old liar,,same old gimmicks,same old players and above all same old results and dividends,,,God bless America

seems crazy that someone with so much financial backing cant close the race! How on earth is he ever going to close a major deal. Least to say how on earth will he be able to fight for the USA! Personally I think he has lost major credibility by not shutting Hillary out. Obama I like you and your fancy rhetoric but I am not fooled by your inexperience. You will make a great president in 8 years time. For now I will rather vote with my head and Hillary is the choice. Hillary 08!

You have not won one big State! You can not win in November and Democrats do not want to give the White House to McCain thanks to you Obama.

Get out of the race now!

Go HIllary!!!

Life long dem. who happens to be black, I think if Clinton should steal the nom. I will be voting for Big John and hope other blacks will do the same. Will not set by let you throw My man under the bus. I to hell with Baba Bill. Enough is a Enough. Thank you just in case you think we are not looking at the people in PA. Don't think we are just going to follow the party to hell.
YES I SAID IT AND WILL KEEP ON SAYING IT UNTIL THE TIME COMES. i'M 63 YEARS OLD AND DON'T LIKE WHAT SEE AND HERE. I'M ALSO A COLLEGE GRAD. AND DAV. CHECK THE DEMO. AND YOU WILL SEE THEY CAN NOT WIN WITHOUT US. THE OTHER PEOPLE WILL GET NO LOVE EITHER. SORRY IF I HURT YOUR FEELING BUT YOU NEED TO WATE UP. WE KNOW THE DRILL AND THE DEAL. PA. PEOPLE ARE UPSET SO WHAT!!!!! THEY CAN LIVE AS GOOD AS THEIR FATHER UNLESS THEY MAKE THE CHANGE NOW!!!! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON YOU SHOULD READ THIS ACOUPLE OF TIMES.

leah dimarco,

You think too much..NObama lacks the political clout to win over the remaining super delegates….great guy, but he just isn't in the elite click like Billary!!!This election is ran by the elite, and all of you are right, he isn't elite, in fact, he isn't anything more than a junior U.S. Senator..do you honestly think he could beat a highly decorated war hero[white].Its all about the elite…his pandering will catch up to him, just like hillary's has caught her…He will be another dukakis and salty democrats like myself will be the modern day Reagan Democrats…It just wasnt his time..His lack of experience will destroy his "sandbagging" self.. Semper Fi

With all her advantages, support has eroded for Hillary. She was a sure bet six months ago – now she trails in every count, and that's with Bill stumping for her every step of the way.

It's not the money – it's the message. Obama raises twice as many small donations, because people believe in him.

I was a huge Bill Clinton fan until this election. It's soured me on both of them. That, the scare tactics, and her support for Iraq – unforgivable.

It amazes me that no one has noticed how Obama seams to talk a lot but says little. He is good for throwing around buzz words and popular expressions over and over again but never seams to give an actual plan on what to do about the nation’s problems. I feel his campaign is very reminiscent of the Carter years and we all know how that turned out.
If they both truly want to unite the party they should run together. I feel they would make the Democratic Party an unstoppable force for the next 16 years.

If you watch Obama give a speech, he sounds like an evangalist. His emphasis on certain words, his hand gestures – he seems programmed and so does everything else he does. Obama has definitely counted his chickens before they have hatched – tempting the fates.

Superdelegates will side with Obama. They risk losing all of the new voters and an entire generation of voters if they don't.

Billary is old GW/Rove-like politics of negativity and ignoring issues for silliness like actually trying to get someone to defend their minister for the first time in all of history.

Maybe we can get another fake cry or some more sniper fire fantasies out of Billary as they inject race into a campaign and then proclaim "omg, the race card" as they play the sex card daily.

Hillary did the Democratic Party a huge favor by goiing negative. Bill is the only candidate since 1976 that has won against the ROP machine, because they are too soft on their own candidates. If the media isn't going to vet our candidates then it IS up to the other candidate to do it. Obama lost because of Wright and Bitter which was his choices and reflects his lack of experience, leadership, and arrogance to think he wouldn't be held to the same standard as other candidates.
No, it isn't over at all. Hillary is going to win in Indiana by 6+
The smartest thing the DEMs could do is to run Hillary on top, with Obama and keep MI and FL happy. They would win by a landslide.

Eight point six percentage points. Sounds like piddly-winks for Hillary. You gained what, six delegates, woo, I'm so scared. Obama did what he set out to do, and made you celebrate a "bitter" victory. You have no money, and you did not blow Obama out the water like you said you were going to do. Hillary's victory is shallow at best, people who understand politics know this, and the Super delegates know this too, and that is why they will choose Obama, no matter how much begging or crying she does in August.

Seems Hillary is the uncrowned queen of white thrash while Obama is the leader of intellingent whites

No she didn't cause she did get 10% she won with all the money obama dumped in PA he should have been able to win.

The Clintons are the past. If Hillary Clinton was nominated nothing would change. The the people could elect McCain or keep Mr. Bush.

Obama will win 6 of the 9 remaining primaries. He's way ahead in the polls in the largest (North Carolina) and also my state (Oregon). He'll also win by smaller margins in Indiana, Montana, South Dakota, and Guam. Soon Clinton will be farther behind than ever.

Yeah right….. and the 'Wanna be Brarockstar just lost HIS best chance to be VP'

Two words loser….. SUPER DELEGATES!

God Bless Hillary!
God Bless AMERICA!!

I simply don't understand how, with Hillary running in the red with her campaign, how she can be a good choice for president! So what if Obama had more campaign funds! If she can't budget with whatever money she has for the task, how can she budget for the entire United States?!?!

I think Obama did pretty well in narrowing the margin that Hillary had in Pennsylvania in the early days.

What Obama has to do his be prepared for more negative ads from senator Hillary in the finally days of the campaign.

Seat Florida and we have our PRESIDENT Madame Hillary Clinton.

I've read everyone's comments. Some are thoughtful some are just plain .. what's the word.. mean-spirited I guess. I like Senator Obama. I have from the start and not just because I'm from Illinois. I'm sad he had to do some slinging of his own. It would be nice if he were able to run a campaign that didn't focus on the negative. But sometimes you can only be slapped a few times before you have to slap back. Every time I have listened to Senator Clinton, it seems like it's the same old story just a different day. Why is it that nobody seems to stay focused on the whopper she told about being shot at by a sniper but yet Senator Obama is being crucified for what other people say and being held accountable because he knows them. How many people does Mrs. Clinton know that say and do the same things that we don't hear about? I know what he meant about the "bitter" comment. I too am bitter!! I'm about to lose my job because of NAFTA (Clinton project) and possibly my house too. I do care about the issues and I have never been so moved by a candidate before in the 32 years I've been able to vote. I've lost 3 jobs since the Bush administration and I am so hopeful for this country and for my children to see the end of the Republican run in the White House. I surely hope everyone else is tired of it also. Unfortunately, I would stay in this same boat with McCain becoming our next president. Business as usual folks… keep your eye on the ball and NOT on the b.s. being fed to all of us.

Obama was gracious about his loss. He had no complaints. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot! Ugh! Anyway, I, for one, am not worried. He will go on to win most of the remaining contests and will wipe out any gain she received today when he wins North Carolina. Atleast North Carolina knows what they are doing!

It's funny how just before the polls closed, the question was still on the table of whether Hillery should quit. She wins PA and the attitudes change. The fact is that nothing has really changed. It is still the same tight race it was before Tuesdays Primary. In other words, I've watched individuals totally discount what Obama has already done. Wow! Have you ever heard the song "Love the one you're with?" That's how some of the newscastors do it. This contest has been great in one instance, but if you loose, they have you all washed up and out! I don't think so… Hillery has got to do some real work. And personally, she should have won in PA. Let's see what happens next!

On top off it, Hillary got also the votes from the republicans who specially crosover to the democrats to keep this campagne running. This group should not be consider to vote for the democrats in the fall.

I think we have now come to the point where the Dems have to put 1 candidate forward and begin to concentrate more on winning the general election. This nomination race is getting too drawn out and exposing the Dems' weaknesses, which can only work to the Reps' advantage.

okay clinton only lead obama by 6 delegates in this contest! that is not a lot. In texas she won by like 3%. Not by MUCH!!! there were only a few big states that she won by a landslide. She obviously would win NY since she was the senator of that state.

People need to wake up and smell the coffee. Do a little research before you start saying one thing or another. The media obviously dictates things to you people. Did you hillary supporters know that that same reverend that Obama had, was the same one that comforted hillary and bill when they went through the monica L. situation?

Obama and HIllary have ups and downs against mcCain in certain states. So you need to look at the broader picture.

hillary is a liar, and a bad one too. I used to like her, but lately she is getting tacky.

Hey guys, don't you know how to count?

HIllary: 54.3 %
Obama: 45.8 %

Obama lost by 8.5%. That's wonderful considering Penn was so big for her till 6 weeks ago. Just for her name cognition, she started with a 25 point margin 2 months ago, 6 weeks ago, 20% margin, and today 8.5%

Awsome!

This is insignificant. Obama's lead in delegates was 144 before Pennsylvania . . . and now it's 138. That means Clinton reduced Obama's lead by only 4%. That's virtually nothing. And none of the remaining primaries will be as favorable for Clinton. No matter how much propaganda is spread by her mouthpieces . . . Clinton is toast.

Hillary,

Should'nt you rather be crying? Ur husband was first man for 8years, you were first lady for 8years, you've been a senator for only God knows how long, you claimed to have worked for the people so much and all you could beat a small boy of yesterday with was just by 10%?

Take my advice, go to the ladies and cry out your eyes and then throw in the towel

She's won every big swing state, and yet somehow you fools in San Fransisco think she should bow out? Its clear: Hillary appeals to the moderates within the Democratic party and Obama to the activists further down the spectrum. You tell me who does better in the general election. You STILL haven't learned the lesson of Gore/Kerry?

It's a wonder Obama didn't lose by more, considering all the Republicans who have followed Limbaugh's advice to switch parties and vote for Clinton.

Fact is, if she gets the nomination, I know a LOT of Democrats and independents who'll vote for ANYONE other than her, and "anyone" easily includes McCain. We can't imagine voting for someone who is as arrogant, dishonest, manipulative, and power-hungry as she is.

If the party endorses her, it will have made a huge mistake. There are more people in this country who can't stand her than there are who are willing to accept a Republican "maverick." Obama has proven he can win over voters – something Clinton is virtually incapable of doing. For those of you who doubt that claim, it's time for you to venture outside your liberal enclaves, where Clinton is a viable national candidate, and meet the rest of America.

I'm living in Montana, where racism still lingers in a not-always-subtle way, but I'll tell you this: for every person I've met who's hesitant, but not entirely averse, to voting for a black man with little experience, there's another who voted for Bush (despite HIS lack of experience) because he/she despised Gore for his mere connection to the Clintons. There's a chance that some of the former will vote for Obama, but there's NO chance the latter will vote for Clinton.

Never fear, the rest of the country isn't as blind and aren't a bunch of sheep to even give Hillary a hint at a shot of winning the nomination.

Obama will win the nomination in '08!

I just sent $100 to Hillary. I voted for her with no reservations. Up until a few months ago, Obama was a complete stranger to me, Hillary I've known and liked for almost 20 years. I can't vote for a man to the highest office in the land when his resume is so light. I think he will make a great President someday, but not just yet.

Go Hillary!

I am a democrat and we are in big trouble. If Obama wins, I am willing to bet 20% to 30% of Hillary's supporters will either vote for McCain out of spite or stay home on election day. And if Hillary wins, the same probably holds true for Obama's supporters. All of this infighting between Obama and Hillary supporters is simply going to end in another Rebuplican victory – and maybe they deserve it since we democrats cannot seem to get our act together. Somewhere in his deep dark lair, Karl Rove is cackling with glee!

the real winners are the republicans the democrats should have won this election but it slips from their grasp each day this goes on to bad for the usa and the rest of the world 4 more years of a republician president!

Hillary Clinton is a tenacious fighter and she doesn't mind hitting below the belt (just ask Bill what happened after Monica), but I've said all along, and I will continue to say, "America will not elect a WOMAN President in 2008." Even if she is the Democratic nominee, Hillary will not get the number of male votes to become President. The only reason Hillary is still in the game right now is because Obama is black.

Hillary won tonight. Why do obamas supporters feel the need to attack her for that? It doesn't matter what you all say about her. Your negativity towards her doesn't change the fact that she won the PA primary.

You are spouting off numbers to make yourselves feel better but the bottom line is, HILLARY WON, tonight.

When I think about why you all behave like that… all I have to do is think back just a short time ago when your messiah gave Hillary the finger on national TV and you all cheered him on. Now that's grown up. We surely don't need that kind of behavior in the white house.

Can you imagine where we will be when barack gives China or Russia the finger, when they oppose him. We will ALL be toast.

Mike-

NO, I did not fail math.
All the number I posted above are accurate.
Maybe you should go and reread my THREE posts above – there are no errors.

Clinton only gained a net of ten delegates in PA.
Clinton needs 432 more to win.
Obama needs only 303 more to win.

She can not gain on him with pledged delegates and she will not get a high enough percentage of supers to overtake him. It's easy as 2+2=4

Why must Hillary supporters keep bringing up the fact that Obama outspent her 3:1 and still lost? He outspent her 3:1 and cut her lead by 17%, that is extremely impressive. Get a clue and drop out, Hillary. This was a victory for Obama's perseverance and fund-raising ability, and if PA wasn't tailor-made for the Clintons he would have trounced you.

What exactly is it that Hillary and her husband forget in the white house that she is fighting so hard to retun there to pick up?

Whenever i see and hear her make some of those comment attacking Obama, i see desperation and sometimes a certain level of hatred.

I had so much respect for this woman when her husband was president, but now all i have for her and Bill is the direct opposite.

If the democrats don't do something quickly, Hillary will only leave them with a batterred party which will limp into the general election and get hammered by some aged republican caled Mccain.

Hillary is behaving like 'A DOG IN A MANGER' . If she can't get it, she don't wanna let anyone else get it. I can see that she won't get it, inspite of Penn. but she would have destroyed the democratic party to that extent of gifting George W. Bush a third term.

SAD!

since we're on the subject anyway I do not understand why people are disrespectful to Barack. Hillary can take the win, but you wanna know somethin? when all this is over "NObama" will be Obama again and he will defeat Sen. McCain come November. I just can't see how people can say that Hillary's nomination is "inevitable". Possibly a nomination for most selfish senator. That's the only time you'll catch me checking the Clinton box. I find it funny that all the Clinton supporters don't think that leaving the decision to superdelegates is a big deal. OF COURSE you would think that because you are LOSING and that's your only out!!!! I realize Barack can't pull off the total either, but he's only winning twice as many states, more pledged delegates, and oh by the way he is gaining on McCain in polls unlike other senators. The Reps. want Hillary because they can BEAT her. Do you honestly believe they would want her to make the race closer? That's a rhetorical. Figure it out people!

Vote Obama!!! The only choice left!

thank you daniel!!!!!!!

i support clinton, but will be first in line to vote for obama should he get the nomination. this in-fighting is so (expletive) silly…all this talk about splitting the party…please…it is only split if we split it….i like to think we are all bigger than that…!

clinton '08
democrat '08

WE still remain ahead of the rat race.

Even if she wins all the remaining contests by 55% to 45%,she will still not be ahead in the delegate race.

But even that is Impossibly crazy.

Cant she see the math?

Make no mistakee..Hillary fought hard but lost! She needed 25% for anyone with money to take her seriously.

She is done…done…done. If the party nominates her now it will be based on something other than pledged delegates, even with MI. and FL. It will be seen as an illegitimate nomination and the most expensive boondogle in US political history!
Hillary = No Black Vote = No educated vote = No soft Republican vote = No Independent vote.

A granddaughter of Pennyslavian, help from a dynasty, former president, someone who has been a senator for 8 years and has 35 years experience of dodging the sniper fire would have done much better than a newcomer-someone who is trying to introduce himself to the people and at the same time looking fro a vote. Hillary. would have won by double digits-look at what her negativity is doing to her. She is not even aware /is in denial. Never mind the whole steaming truth will suffice soon. The American people easily forget what 9/11 did to them, who voted for the war, the very reason why we have all these economic problems. How do you vote positively for someone who started the fire? Its going to be a vicious circle if people are not going to open their eyes and if people are made to believe the false promises that this lady and her husband stand for.

Obama 08

Why are we so afraid? HRC plays into our fears and divisions. Those who turn a blind eye to her embracement of lobbyists and special interests are the same good ole guys/gals that would defend her habitual lying. If she wins the nomination despite only having won 14 of 44 contests the party base and the rest of the world will view American democracy as a big joke.

Democrats laud themselves for supporting a party that is inclusive, non-racist and non-bigoted and yet the election analysis seems to indicate otherwise. I thought "enlightened" candidates and voters, not to mention commentators, were supposed to look beyond identity politics. What a farce.

Yale, I am proud of you~!

Witjh love from the Netherlands

Ted

Barack did a good job in PA. It's just sorry that some weak-minded voters will be affected by the negative campaign of Hillary. Til this stage of the presidential race, Barack just kept the message of motivating the people to move beyond their differnces of all nature for the sake of a better 2row. Obama is inspiring the new generation, and hillary got nothin to talk but her experience. Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Explain what Hillary actually won today… in two weeks virtually all the delegates she gained in PA will be erased by NC and IN, and we'll be right back to square one. What will be her excuse then to continue her quest for the complete and utter destruction of the Democratic Party?

I have lost all respect for her. Luckily when she loses both states in two weeks, she'll have nothing left to stand on. She may have won PA today, but the Democratic Party lost big time.

Roshawda, Obama was graceful and congratulated her. What is it that made you turn from Obama? I am curious. Was it the "bitter " story. What is the real Obama that you are refering to? i like Hillary and I like Obama but there are a lot of slippery politics playing out here and I think more from the Clinton camp than the Obama.

Yale, I am proud on you!

Ted The NBetherlands

To Leah…

Did you fail math?

Have you ever heard of "Super Delegates…""

Gee???

Go Hillary!!!!!

You people stop with the math, you really don't think that the Super Delegates aren't going to decide this?

Hillary will plead her case during her Primary journey, she's got this!!!

Go Hillary!!!

Somebody needs to realize that Clinton's way of doing things just won't work. You can't play the old politics games anymore. You can't lie to people, because you'll be mocked for it; you can't try to smear people, because we're not voting for the least smeared candidate, we're voting on issues; you can't base your entire campaign on name-calling and mudslinging, because nobody wants to hear any more empty rhetoric.

To me, Obama failed in PA by not communicating his greatest strength: that he doesn't come from Old Washington, that he can look at the world in a different way from Old Washington, that the Old way of doing things has to end on Day One — and that Clinton and McCain are only a change of the name on the office door.

What the media does not tell ya'll are the important numbers. After tonight ….

Obama needs only 303 more delegates to win.

Clinton needs 432 more delegates to win.

Stop listening to the SPIN. Popular votes, electoral votes, etc. do not count. This is a DELEGATE race!

Obama '08/'12

I wonder what "a few delegates ahead " means. While its true BO shd be wrapping up this nomination, people should also be asking how come she is also still struggling to win big if she is the stronger candidate? Anyone saying that they wont vote for HRC or BO if their preferred candidate losses just shows one thing..ego, just like that of these two candidates. No wonder Dems have lost twice to Bush! Go McCain!~

I dont get it, why is it such a big deal if she wins a state meanwhile he has won twice the amount of states as she has. Yet she and her campaign has the nerve to spin this like she is now the come back kid. When she wins 30 states total an ties him in delegates, and the popular vote, then she will be able to talk. Until then shut up and play catch up.

Remember when everyone said she was supposed to win big in Ohio & Texas?

Well she LOST delegates in Texas, so the conclusion was she had to win by a HUGE amount.

Remember weeks ago when even Hillary's camp had said she needed at least 20% gains. It was possible a few months ago when polls showed she had over 30% lead.

Now? Hillary just picked up a few delegates. She can't win any more.

It makes you think. She had what was considered a perfect demographical state plus she had all the big elected people on her side.

Yet she hardly made a dent.

Hillary supporters are probably celebrating but please do the math. There are way too few states to come back.

This is sad and tired. They lost. They lost….wait…They lost.

After all the bad press…being outspent 3 to 1…a bus tour…a countless negative attacks Hillary…Obama still lost.

No matter how you spin it. He lost. He can't close the deal. He was rejected by the voters. He has now lost all four of the states that historically choose a president. Ohio, Michigan, Penn, and Florida.

If you include the Michigan and florida votes, Clinton is ahead in the popular vote. Afterall, Nancy Pelosi said…the will of the voter.

The will of the voter has spoken. Against the odds…Hillary is the winner.

Spin that!

I'm sorry to inform Clinton supporters that the primary season is officially game over for them. I know we all like math here so let's do a hypothetical. Let's say Hillary wins all the states 62-38. She will still be behind in the delegate count. Winning by 24 points in every remaining state won't even put her over the top! Of course she will NOT win by that margin in every state. Basically all Clinton is doing is being selfish and dividing the party even more than she and Bill have already done in the first place. Please pack your bags and go home. You're destroying the party with significant numbers against you. You can't fight the "simple math". No chance.

As far as superdelgates…….please remember that we want to be a democracy FOR the people and BY the people. The superdelegate system is a complete joke to the democratic process. They can say thanks for your thought America, but we really don't care. As far as I'm concerned that's a tyranny of the minority which I'm sure the Framers really wanted to create. It's time to start thinking about having a true democracy and leave this bull chips on superdelegates out of the picture.

The sheep have spoken, they fell for the HRC lies.

For some “so called” democrats: I will repeat it again and again…..

1.How is possible to support somebody who represents the big money, the special interests,the status quo,the lobbies and the establishment in Washington??

2.How do you- white & low-income workers- in some states, can identify yourself with the Billioners Clintons??

3.Can you accept the fact that Hillary voted for the shameful war in Iraq along with Bush?? Don't you see that actualy she's a neocon, not a Democrat??

4. HILLARY IS UNELECTABLE AGAINST MCSAME IN NOVEMBER!!!
You know pretty well that HRC can't win Obama in pledged delegates,even if she would win both PA,FL,MI and -MOST OF ALL- YOU KNOW (YES YOU KNOW IT!!!),THAT SHE IS A LOOSING CARD IN NOVEMBER AGAINST MCCAIN simply because, unlike Obama, SHE ISN’T ABLE TO BRING EVEN ONE independent or republican voter to the Democratic Party and you continue to fight for her??

So, you want the collapse of the democratic party…
I have no other explanation !!!

So, Vote Obama-End the Drama!!
BARACK OBAMA-A MAN WE TRUST !!!

A White, Male, Obama supporter & Hungry For Some PRINCIPLES!!

How can you not love this guy-Barack Obama? He's got game.
He's not only an exceptional human being, he's cute, he's witty, he's elegant and he's a jock!
I want him as our President so bad. Never have I identified with a political figure as I do with him. He speaks for me more than anyone ever has.There is nothing fake about Obama. Never have I beeen able to say that about ANYONE in the political sphere.
This great man will make one of our greatest presidents.
LONG LIVE BARACK OBAMA!

They suck ! Move on dudes, you lost! I cant stand the whining, its getting ridiculous.

Its seems like not only Obama but his team can not take the heat now. The truth is that Hillary's win is significant given the fact, Obama had a all out campaign having outspending her almost 3-1 and still was not able to take her out.

Sometimes, truth hurts. For me, this is a clear defeat for Obama when you consider the effort he made. He got almost all the votes from the people of his own race. Otherwise, things would have been miserable for him today.

Adding to that, it is very disturbing to note how black people rally around him. I don't believe they vote for issues. I now firmly believe they vote for Obama unconditionaly because he is one of their own. That is called "Racial Divide". It is a very disturbing fact to notice that black people have choosen this path to vote alone the racial lines.

Sen.Obama is leading in the most important pledge delegates,popular vote and most states won.No way on earth that Hillary can catch Sen.Obama even if she wins the remaining 9 states..im sick and tired of the Clinton Inc.so shocking that even the right wing guys like sean hannity,scaife,pat buchanan,scarbourough etc are all singing the praises of hillary.

She The Clinton party once again achieved a win by any cost. It's starting to look like a routine before every Primary for the Clintons campaign to Take a Negative stand point and make it appear as if The Clintons are Fully capable and trustworthy to have another Chance at running this country. No thanks to her and her Husband Pushing a Program like NaFta to send AMericans Jobs overseas …OH yes let 's apply the tactics of the Past once more as we did when we elected another Bush adminstration and see how Much Change will Occur…

Tuesday evening in PA

Obama 74 delegates
Clinton 84 delegates

That was sure alot of work for Clinton to do to get only ten more delegates

Obama did a great job in narrowing her margin from +26% down to 9.4% —- I am very proud of him tonight!

Senator Clinton did what she HAD to do…win in Pennsylvania. Senator Obama did what he wanted to do in Pennsylvania, make inroads in her demographics. He also won in the key voter block in the state: Philadelphia and the Suburbs.

Unfortunately, Senator Clinton has used up a lot of her political clout with voters in the PA election showing a continued mean, personal, and negative "politics as usual" campaign.

What we have seen is that money can not buy campaigns, but fear tactics can. So on we go to Indiana and North Carolina, and Senator Obama, I'm sending you another contribution, because what I fear is another Clinton Presidency of division, scandal, and impeachment.

I sure hearing a lot of in house chatter about how sick politicians are of Hillary's negativity and her choice to split the democratic party and the country along racial and economic lines in order to win the nomination at any costs. Her desperate use of Republican tactics has also lost her a lot of deocrat's respect. Sure, she's a fighter and she doesn't give up…at least that's her latest spin. And maybe there are those who respect that. But you've got to ask yourself how she is hurting her own party and damaging the chances of a potential nominee. You;ve got to ask how is the deomocratic party going to recover from this trailer park brawl? I don't think this kind of destructive retoric and spin is politics as usual. I think what Hillary is doing is ugly and selfish and unbefitting of a potential President.

I also agree that Obama needs to keep himself above the fray and not get drawn into this soul destroying brawl. Barack, thank you for the sense of dignity you bring to this contest.

Hopefully Obama will carry the mantle at the end of the day, Obama will win the race. !!

Sour grapes Obama camp! What with your candidate's foot in his mouth, making the most stupid and offensive remarks on record who has some gall to crow over your loss.

Hilllllllllaaaaarrrrrrrryyyyyyyy alllll thhhhhhhe wwwwwayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 08

I am an indian and the election campaign is really an interesting debate signifying the opportunities that US has for its citizens. But I am particularly amazed at the way Clinton tactics (Not essentially Strategy) of bulldozing and mudslinging the charater of Obama who has pretty much stuck to issues unless otherwise having to defend his character. I also can see from the numbers that the clinton voters and campaign staff have an animosity which is clearly driven stratgeically by the clinton campaign management. It is heartening to see it. What my spirit tells me is that Obama will win no matter how hard Hillary tries and even if she has the "powers" backing her. My prayer is that she loses the election. She is just not fit to be a president of a country that many nations look up to, if she runs on fear tactics. The last thing anyone would do is use Osama against Obama. Goes to show she will do anything to get what she wants.

No use trying to spin away Hillary's VICTORY, hard as the Obama camp tires.

Does Obama not get it? We don't want him! We will not vote for him! Go away, Barry.

So tonight in PA Hillary gained only a net of TEN delegates.

This drops Obama total delegate lead down ten and so he currently leads by +129 total delegates (pledged and supers).

There is no way that Hillary can catch up now!

Obama / Katheen Sebelius '08

Great! Vote for Clinton and vote for decades of Bushs and Clintons – Is this a democratic country or a monarchy…?

I do not have much but I am going to donate $100 to Hillary's campaign. Spin it all you want Obama the tide is turning.

She outplayed him in Penn. He knows it. He spins.

hillary's nomination is inevitable.

OBAMA… Congratulations on being the better person and the better candidate!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08

NObama lets not forget, that you don't exactly "add up" mathmatically to win the nomination either!

Senator Clinton has a much stronger argument to pitch toward the Super Delegates (and no, I don't have a problem with the Super Delegates making this decision.)

NObama is unable to carry the Catholic vote, the rural "lunch bucket voter," the seniors and NOW the white male vote (follow the exit polls) is breaking for Senator Clinton.

How is this guy able to win a General Election?

If NObama is the nominee, one should simply go ahead and move McCain into the White House without the public even voting.

Go Hillary, you deserve it!!!!!!

And the real winner of PA… John McCain!

Hillary should be ashamed of her campaign tactics. She is very desperate. I have no respect for her anymore. She and Bill are just wolves in sheep clothing! Her and Gov Randell. They are the biggest racists that I have ever seen! Who would even vote for Hillary after Rendell said that, "Pennsylvania isnt ready for a Black President". If thats not the race deck, I dont know what it is. That mayor Nutter is just that, a nut! They will kick him straight to the curb when this is all over with.

A request to Sen. Obama to move back on his positive messages from earlier in the campaign. Change. Inclusiveness. Moving together to address and begin to make decisions on the pressing problems that we face in the next 4 years. Please move back to the inspirational message and campaign that you begun.

As the campaign moves forward to the remaining states, DO NOT follow Sen. Clinton to the old politics of NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING THAT ATTEMPTS TO DIVIDE US AND NOT UNITE US TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE OUR MUTUTAL SHAPED PROBLEMS.

Who runs Obama's campaign? Kindergarten teachers? Yeah, right. And all this "change" rhetoric — are all of the congressional super delegates supporting Obama going to resign their seats so that newer, fresher, and changed people can take their place. Yeah, right. It seems to me that the real change happening here is that money no longer ensures victory; just look how Hillary was outspent yet still managed to rout her opponent.

I too, was for Obama. I started to see that he can't take the heat. For a long time, he was cool and collective. He spoke very well and said all the things he wanted me to hear. Now, I can see that he does not respond well to challenge or people getting tough. His campaign has wonderful writers and a staff that likes to throw mud too. Now, that he has joined into all of that, it shows that he is just like the rest of them. Overall, I now see that Hillary Clinton can handle the stress and the mud. If she makes it, I will vote for her in the end. I just gave the maximum allowed to her campaign a few minutes ago.

Obama will loose to McCain if he gets the nomination. She is our best hope now!

TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS, AND THEY STILL LOSS BY 10% OF THE VOTE. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SUPER DELEGATES ARE PAYING ATTENTION. HE SIMPLY CANNOT PULL IT OFF IN THE GENERAL ELECTION IF HE LOSE SWING STATES. I AM TALKING SWING STATES WHOSE DEMOCRATIC PARTIES DO NOT FIT IN A TELEPHONE BOOTH UNLIKE MANY OF THE STATES WHERE SENATOR OBAMA HAS WON. COME ON NOW. I HAVE SUPPORTED SENATOR CLINTON FROM THE VERY BEGINNING BECAUSE I WANT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER, AND THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLINTON AND OBAMA ON THE ISSUES. CLINTONI WILL NOT HAVE TO HOLD BACK WITH MCCAIN.

THE REBUBLICANS ARE JUST WAITING FOR OBAMA TO BE CONFIRMED AS OUR NOMINEE, AND "HE", NOT HILLARY CLINTON HAS GIVE THEM THE AMMONITION TO TAKE HIM OUT IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. THEY, ON THE OTHER HAND, ALREAdY KNOW THAT CLINTON HAS A SPECIAL CAN OF "WHUP AZZ "SIT ASIDE JUST FOR THEM WHEN THEY ATTEMPT TO FIRE-UP THE SLIME MACHINE. "YES WE ARE GOING TO LOSE" IF DEMOCRATIC PARTY INSIDERS WITH AXES TO GRIND WITH THE CLINTONS DON'T REMOVE THE "HATER" BLINDERS AND GET BEHIND THE MOST ELECTABLE CANDIDATE, HILLARY CLINTON.

Whatever the peirceved feelings about Obama, in the eyes of the world, he is better than a Billary who are consistent and pathological liars.

Obama's catch up comes with a cost of millions of dollars. Perhaps, this shows money does not talk directly to voters as someone who has been serving for this country for years. Yes, I want changes but it will be very risky to select a candiate who does not have enough experience, achievements, and strength to carry out those big and important changes. I choose Hillary for that matter.

130+ delegate lead is not "only a few delegates ahead"

Penn was Hillary's state to loose.
She wonders how Obama couldn't win in a state that was considered Clinton Country when he spent so muhc money.

The better question to ask is.. How could Hillary blow a 20 point lead so badly in a state that should have been a slam dunk for her.

Obama closed the gap significantly and made her victory negligible

On to NC. Same story except its an Obama slam dunk state.
Hillary's goal, since they already admit they wont win the state, will be to do what Obama did in Penn… narrow his lead and shrink his victory %.

At which point you will have to ask.. if Hillary is such the potential nominee she claims to be.. why can't she win in NC.

Closing the gap in Penn and whittling down Clintons victory margin and "home field advantage" was Obama's goal and he did it well.

Hillary's goal in NC will be the same.. whittle down Obama's lead and shrink that victory margin.

Question is.. can she accomplish that?
me thinks not

If positions were to switch, most people in this country would have been telling this "black man" (Obama) who has and continues to work twice as much, to drop out of the race. The pressure would have been greater on him, if he was behind in delegate and popular vote counts and he was running negative ads. The push would have even been stronger if he was running out of money. God is watching our "inner hearts." Some day, we will face Him individually. God bless this nation!

Bush…Clinton…Bush….Clinton…OH.,,,PA…you failed "BIG TIME" 8 yrs. down the road, JEB BUSH..And so it goes.

This is a win for the Obama camp. They succesfully reduced her margin of win. Clinton should quit.

search obama the courage to face fear

Observers keep forgetting that there are about 300 superdelegates left and they are not all going to vote for Clinton. The super delegate plan and arguement are baseless and may doom Clinton as she appears to be making the wrong calculation. They should do the Maths properly. Even if the remaining SDs are split 2 – 1, Obama still wins.

IS this the same Hillary Clinton who said "Shame on you Barack Obama" for tearing a page out of Carl Rove's playbook? She is so hypocritical with her latest fear-mongering Osama ad. I don't know how we as party tolerate this kind of behavior from such a high-profile Democrat. Please read the latest NYTimes article about her negativity…. for me it goes way beyond that. Obama is the better candidate.

Leanza – The Super Delegates will vote for whoever gets the most pledged delegates. There have been many reports that many will changes their allegiance in this case, and what most of the remaining SD's are waiting for.

There is hope!

I am so proud of Senator Clinton!

Her fighting spirit is an inspiration to me.

One has to wonder how good of a steward Barack Obama is, after all. I mean, he outspent the Clinton campaign nearly 3-to-1. What a waste of money; huh? Maybe the economy isn't his forte? I wonder what is?

Go Hillary!

I am voting on two policies.

The war in Iraq.

Clinton helped get us there.

Science.

Obama has a much more progressive stance on stem cell research than Clinton or McCain. As a type 1 diabetic, I will not under any circumstance vote for McCain or Hillary. It's Obama or a third party candidate.

Obama's camp………arrogant, smug….they make a good match. It is now impossible for either candidate to win the nomination by the delegate count alone. It is now up to the Superdelegates.

Well, whoever is moderating is certainly doing a FINE job os censoring what is posted.

OBAMA 2008, HILLARY is a LIAR and a hypocrite!!

While pondering Hillary's 10 point lead, consider the Hillary-Rush maniac vote. It is real. I've spoken with republicans here in Texas who cast their vote for Hillary. I have no doubt that the PA Rushers couldn't wait to cast their vote… even under the shame of having to declare themselves a democrat. This may also explain why Hillary's finances have been troubled, as these Rush Repulicans most certainly draw the line at donating their hard earned pay.

One thing what Obama said is true. He said that McCain would have been a better choice for president than Bush was. I totally agree with Obama on that issue. He also said that Clinton and he would be a better choice than McCain, which I totally agree with as well. I believe that the Democrats are a much better choice for president if we want to have our economy back on track. After all, the Democrats are much better in handling the economy than the Republicans. It had been proven time after time that Democrats are domestically better than Republicans and Republicans are better at foreign affairs than the Democrats. Yes, there are some exceptions such as Reagan with the economy since the economy was very good and Bush with the foreign affairs being a total disaster. Bush has the whole wolrd hating us now and we need to improve our image to the world, especially to the Moslems. I totally support the war in Afghanistan, but do not support the war in Iraq anymore since the main objective was supposedly to dismantle the WMD, which were never there. Bush just wanted to go there to bully the Moslems around. He wanted a war to divert the attention from the domestic affairs, where he knew he was a total failure. He concentrated on terrorism to the point where he said that we were not safe. The invasion of Iraq was to distract us from the main issue, which was the economy. That is my opinion of Bush's war in Iraq.

I have yet to meet someone who likes Hillary Clinton. I honestly hate Hillary Clinton. I am from Canada and I currently am a huge supporter of Obama and so is the rest of the world. You've disappointed the world over the last two elections please don't do disappoint us again. We would gladly adopt Obama as a Canadian, because we at least recognize someone special. If he isn't elected as President I will lose all faith in your country. Please prove me wrong!

Someone needs to tell Hillary and Chelsea, that the overly animated facial expressions have got to END please. It is too much! They are both so phony.

President Obama 2008

hrc was expected to win, why act all surprised. No one expected obama to really win in that part of the country anyway. I'm in shock that some of the voter can see past the color of his skin!

Voters have not changed their minds about Obama. On the other hard, smart voters have realized how negative is Clinton.

You can not have a president that need to sink his opponent because she cann't convince people by her abilities.

It's not surprise Clinton won, but she won by very few points which is good for obama….

Obama has the popular vote; that's what matters

I wonder why Clinton thinks that she has what it takes to be commander in chief, to confront Osama and all other claim she is making. Where did you get that experinence Hilaryriri. From where I stand the only visible thing is that you would do or say anything to get another four years in the White House. Aren't you afraid of ghost?
What America need is new blood, fresh start. Look around us, where is the America that our Fathers have helped build an America proud and envied by all, an America strong and listened by all, an America showing the path to a better future. All is left, is an America that feed special interest and and leave the rest in the gutter. Today, even the American dream is gone, millions of people are loosing there houses. Why so that a few can have a fatter paycheck.
We want a new start, we want to dream of a better future and for that neither Clinton nor Mc Cain can lead us in the right direction

Hillary still won't be able to significantly impact the elected delegate gap that Obama has over Hillary. The supers will not go against the elected delegate result since that will ensure a McCain victory in Nov.

So Hillary's concession speach will still come after the Indiana primary.

Obama will erase the gains that Hillary made tonight in Penn in the NC contest. Indiana will be the deciding factor which it was before tonight.

Obama is inspirational. Clinton is the status quo.

I think Obama did pretty well – he cut Clinton's lead by a lot. He has appeared the more statesman like of the two and his campaign has not been so negative. And (in response to the comment above) he was graceful in defeat. He said she ran a terrific race. I'm not sure I agree with him – but he was certainly polite in his acknowledgment.

It really does not matter if Obama wins the nomination or not. We have all heard the Democratic Party Leaders say that the voters will get behind whoever wins the nomination. I for one feel this is not true. With the blood that has been spilled and the bitter taste left in Democratic Voters mouths, they have picked one candidate or the other. So, the ultimate winner is….. John McCain. I know myself that I will vote for McCain before I vote for Obama.

OK Obamaniacs…start your whining and spinning. You are getting to be very entertaining with all your desparate babbling…

Obama was gracious in his loss of the state primary (more than can be said about ANY of Hilary's losses) – so don't know what you are talking about Roshawda?

Obama does not have the margin to claim the nomination. He his only a few delegates ahead

Eh? … and Hilary does not have the margin to claim the nomination – and is LOSING! what's your point?

I want to know why all of the talking heads keep brining up Obama's supposed 'inability to close the deal', when he's winning in every count – AND he's going against the Democratic Establishment in the Clintons – where's the talking about that? Hilary was supposed to have this thing wrapped up on Super Tuesday.. where's her 'ability to close the deal'?

Obama camp again spinning it any way they can. Bottom line is that Obama lost and Hillary won. Yeah Obama did what anyone would expect when you invest 12 million dollars plus, he narrowed the margins but wasn't able to beat her even when he outspent her 3 to 1. He cannot close the deal, actually he was the one that needed to knocked Hillary out once and for all, but he couldn't. So that brings up a good question, Is Obama ready for the general election if he can't put Hillary away?

LOL, Leanza. The super-delegates will got with who ever has the most pledge delegates and who has the popular vote. Hillary needed to win by like 30 points for this to have really damaged him. This election is pretty much over. Pennsylvania was a really good area for her, but 60% of the rest of the country finds her un-trustworthy. I wouldn't be surprised if she loses all the states left.

Clinton needed to win by at least 20% to make meaningful headway. She needs to win th remaining contests by 20% TO BE ABLE TO MAKE HER ANTICIPATED ARGUEMENT. It appears virtually impossible to catch Obama considering the "slim" victory in PA. This is the time the superdelegates should "make the call" and this is for the sake of the party. Republicans will be at a very great advantage if this continues. The Obama camp should make the call to super delegates now

Jewish voters, just don't feel they know enough about Obama's background.

They feel safer with someone they really know. However, having said that, once they have opportunity to actually hear Obama's stance on issues, they will abandon Clinton for Obama. He is the underdog and Jewish people will support him, once they know him, because they can relate as a people.

I am sorry Obama fans, you will have to gracefully and smoothly back out of this race, as this is for grown ups. We need a strong President, and a Democrat. Since Hillary Clinton is the only other alternative to the young and dreaming Barack Obama, we need to choose her to lead our country out of this disaster. SHE CAN DO IT. I HAVE NO DOUBT. I'd suggest that we all black people rally behind her and give Barack time to ripe until next term. He'll be able to grow wiser and the country to learn more about him in the meantime. Let's do it. Let's not leave the Republicans win this. They'll get their pockets even fatter than they have them and the rest of us, we will all leave in misery

Leanza, a "few delegates ahead"? How are you counting? Obama is the MOST electable democrat between the two. The "REAL" Clinton is the LYING and MUDSLINGING Clinton, the same old politics Clinton and the newest one, the "War monger" Clinton.

Give me a break. Hillary supporters need to OPEN THEIR EYES please, just do it. She is a hypocrite and is deceitful. Please recognize. Your eyes are closed if you support Hillary. Rather, you're putting a vote for McCain if you are putting your vote for Hillary. Obama is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT McCain.

Let's not forget who our real enemies are: The republicans. Lets see only positive comments from everyone. If you would like to make an argument, and legitimately want to have an affect on those that don't already share the same opinions as you, then provide support for your statements.

We, the people, are to blame for the increasing negativity of BOTH campaigns. We're the ones that respond to it. If we were all to collectively denounce such mindless tactics then we can eliminate them. Instead of immediately grabbing at the latest gossip or half-baked attack from the candidates, their constituents, and the media; lets instead demand investigation. We, the people, are intelligent individuals and would appreaciated to be treated as such.

Deny hostility. Deny ignorance. Deny belittlement.

Demand evidence. Demand investigation. Demand proper insight.

Again lets see only positive and intellectual comments.

I support Obama, but I will vote for Hillary over McCain or any republican any day.

Get a clue. Hillary Clinton was suppose to win PA. by a landslide, but it didn't happen because people are starting to get the real picture. She barely won and that is because she used every dirty trick she could think of. Wow that says a lot about her character, NOT!!!! Now since people seem to keep voting for her, she has taken her campaign to all out lows with no conscience about it. Why does it seem as though she is untouchable when it comes to her flip flopping on issues, her pastor, her relations to certain shady characters. Hillary has way more dirty laundry that is factual but the only thing the media constantly focuses on is manufactured nonsense about Obama. People should wake up and recognize that all this hoopla goes way against what is in our best interests.

Obama 2008

~~

If this is Clinton's back yard and she could barely come out 8 pts ahead…

Mmm… Clinton used 911 and Bin Laden… and still only 8 pts

Time for the party to tell her to get out before she destroys the party

I will never vote for Clinton now!

I suggest people check the delegate calculator available on cnn.com. Unless she gets something like 65% in ALL the remaining contests she cannot catch up to Obama in number of pledged delegates.

Calling Obama an "elitist" has got to be the most ridiculous thing I have heard in this whole campaign. When he made the "bitter" comment he was simply trying to explain that the Democrats need to find a way to convince rural voters that they care about and will do something about their dire economic circumstances to counteract the Republicans appeal to issues like religion, guns, and anti-immigrant sentiments. That is not "elitist", it's just the truth!

This whole thing stinks. Keep it up, Dems, and Mc Same will be your next president. Enough, already. Create a joint ticket…..and put away the soapboxes….or the next eight years will be a continuation of our present political nightmare.

Because of your blessed inaction, we may be forced to endure yet another eight nightmare years.

Wake up and smell the coffee. And Hillary, you grow less appealing by the minute. Why on earth you were endorsed by the New York Times remains a mystery.

Happy in Hawaii.

Super delegates must back the winner of the primaries and not the loser. In this case Obama will get the endorsement from the super delegates.

Clinton cannot bridge the gap between her and Obama in delegate count even she wins other primaries.

If super delegates support/reward nomination to the loser, American democracy will be in question.

Re:
DB, San Francisco
Remember the POLL that says she was up 20 pts, was just that a Poll! Not real Numbers!I think Hillary did a great job Pennsylvania made the right choice i just hope the supers make the right choice also.Clearly Hillary has the popular vote (Floridaians..and michigans votes included) Supers need to step up and support HILLARY she is the best chance democrates have against Mcain.Rember Rezko's trial is long from over ,So much time!So Much to learn about Mr. Obama DONT RISK IT!! VOTE HILLARY VOTE SMART!

well im for one glad that mess is over. Hillary keeps showing her true colors .yes she won – but her lies and- OH i was tired and mis spoke were such a joke-.we are a bunch of the grey hairs that she thinks she has in her cornor.. wrong if she wins this none of us can stand her so i guess we wont vote or we will go with the GOP
anything but another
Clinton to have more sex in the WHITE HOUSE.
and she will be up to 200 MIllion when she doing good for all the lobbist
you all vote for her i sure as HELL wont

I agree with DB.

As for the other two entries. Hillary won a contest, not the nomination. Obama has already congratulated Hillary on PA and showed his grace. We can plainly see that Hillary, with her negative attacks, isn't showing any.

As for the party system…it was designed to counter the popular vote if insider felt the need, or wanted, to do so. She knows how to work the system after all. She's got an argument for everything Obama is trying to change. Then she has the unmitigated gall to say that even pledged delegates can vote their conscience. So much for our vote. Did you pick up on that? Or are you just another blind devotee? She's even had defections from her superdelegates. That says a lot.

Bottom line…Obama will be heading into the convention with the most pledged delegates and the edge in popular votes. Will Hillary and her supporters act with grace then? We can already see the venom spewing now. Looks like McCain is already getting some of those votes. And once again, the American people get duped into electing another Corporate America panderer. Wake up.

Hillary is making in hard for me to say I'll vote for her in November even if she does win the nomination. Obama seems to be the lesser of the 2 evils. Her campaign tactics have just turned this political process into a cestpool.

I wonder why Clinton thinks that she has what it takes to be commander in chief, to confront Osama and all other claim she is making. Where did you get that experinence Hilaryriri. From where I stand the only visible thing is that you would do or say anything to get another four years in the White House. Aren't you afraid of ghost?

Hussein Obama,stop whining,crying,moaning and except your defeat loser. Go Hillary 08!

are you people retarded?

of course obama is going to win, he is leading and that's all there is to it.

Hillary can argue allshe wants that this was the greatest primary victory of all time but she is still LOSING

The difference between Money Clinton raised and Obama raised are not that large, but she is now in financial debt. How is that possible ?Even though Obama raised little more he also spent more on advertisement compared to Clinton. So based on Income and Expense ratio Clinton still should have Money.

Leanza – Barack holds more that 140 delegates ahead. Do the math.

Let's see how Hillary fares after her fraud trial starts on April 25th. You know, the one no one wants to talk about, the Peter Paul vs Hillary Clinton trial?

"Paul claims Rendell directed various illegal contributions to the DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign and failed to report to the Federal Election Commission more than $100,000 given for a Hollywood event for Gore's campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2000."

CNN why are we not seeing any investigative reporting on this one?

A few delegates ahead ????
By CNN count the lead is 138 delegates ahead

I want to address the Catholic and Jewish question, posed tonight:

I believe that Catholics are used to Aristocratic and Corrupt Ethics, thereby easily sliding into a Clinton constituency.

I left the Catholic Church (metaphorically) at age 13, in a life long search for truth. I am a Barack Obama supporter.

I think obama supporters should take the defeat sportingly and just shut up. they think only they can think and rest of PA consists of fools.. enough of crying kids..

it's over Hillary….

Come on Obama.
Stay who you are
talk about issues
ingnore attacks
invite new voters
on the train of change
and you will win in the end.

Ted. The Netherlands.

This is the beginning of the end for Obama. As much as I want to see Obama win, Hillary will become the nominee and the next president. It is inevitable by the will of GOD himself. She is GOD's chosen one and will fulfill her destiny.

I noted that the exit polls showed that 2/3 of the voters believed that Clinton was unfair in her attack ads on Obama. Just another example of decrying negative campaigning, at the same time as you allow yourself to be swayed by it.
She lied in Ohio about NAFTA, and won that state; and almost won as many delegates in Texas as Obama, even though she won the popular vote.
Admittedly, Obama needs to take off the gloves and show elitist Clinton for what she is. She pretends to know what working blue collar America is facing – she never missed a meal or worried about the rent or the groceries in her entire life. Obama needs to communicate more transparently with blue collar America. Hillary was born with a silver spoon in her mouth in Park Ridge or Lake Forest, ill. Now she is a multi-millionaire who can't balance her checkbook.

I'm really surprised at how easily the HRC message changes as she fails to make sufficient gains. She blew off Florida and Michigan until she thought she needed them. Now the super delegates will save the day. We lead in popular votes, states, pledged delegates….What do you REALLY think the superdelegates will do?

Obamas campaign is a bunch of sore losers. The Obama camp is just confused how they can break records and spend 12 million dollars on tv ads and still lose by 10%..

The reason why is: OBAMA can not win the BIG STATES.

CNN analyst King: "Obama was Thumped in Pennsylvania even though he out spent Hillary 3 to 1."

Texas – Ohio – Pennsylvania. three HUGE wins in a row..

Go Go Go Hillary

As an Obama supporter, I'll concede to the fact that she won. She won Pennsylvania…just as Obama was supposed to win Illinois and Hawaii. The only defining factor is that it was a "big state". She has lots of family ties there, and I couldn't understand why she would lose at all…I'm light-hearted about a 10 pen margin.

DB, San Francisco is correct..she barely put a dent in the Obama campaign. Being that presidential campaigns can turn up neck and neck, I would say that a 138 delegate lead all while planning to sweep over half of the remaining primaries is sufficient.

With that stated, Clinton is "playing catchup". Even if the remaining primaries we're a wash, she would still be down. Plain and simple…numbers tell no lies. (But Hillary Clinton does…)

Obama 08′….

Someone please explain to me how someone with so many odds against him can come into your own backyard or table and cut such a large piece of your pie and walk away with it? I dont understand –all he had to do was have trustworthiness,a good message and some money–you are in big trouble Hilary–and you wont win–i know the Clintons dont accept defeat well but when the superdelegates start endorsing Obama she will get the message–this should not go to the convention to be decided –its clear who is in the lead from here on out

Well Mrs Clinton did it. Not by 20 points but by a significant 10. With this victory she will net a total of about 16 delegates thus closing in on Obama's 160 lead. She has bought a few more weeks at least.

Leanza,
Maybe if you keep saying that as much as Hillary does, you might begin to believe it as well.

I THINK OBAMA IS A SORE LOSER. NOT ONLY THAT HE DOES NOT REALIZE THAT HILLARY WON THE BIGGEST STATES WITH THE MOST ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES . AND IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, HILLARY WILL WIN THOSE STATES, WHILE OBAMA IF HE BECOMES THE NOMINEE WILL LOSE THEM,BECAUSE THE STATES HE WON ARE LEANING REPUBLICAN.
THE NOMINATIOIS FAR FROM OVER AND OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE A LOCK ON IT , OR AS THEY SAY IN THE MEDIA, WHY CAN'T OBAMA CLOSE THE DEAL? HE OUTSPENT HILLARY BY 3 TO 1 IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND YET LOST BY TEN POINTS. THE MEDIA AND OBAMA'S CAMP THAT THE PA PRIMARY WOULD BE CLOSE AND IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS. NOBAMA IS NOW SCARED.

She can win few more states but that is not going to change the dynamic of the primary. Obama will prevail and will be the nominee. Older folks wont change and will not change this country.That is bad for the younger generation. The country will slideto few centuries back. See the dollar value compared to Euro. It is time for the change. I hope the superdelegates are not stupid enough to elect the same old folks of DC.

Roshawda,
You fell for the politics of divisiveness. I feel sorry for you.

Leanza – only a few delegates ahead??? I guess thats how you count to 100 plus….lol… if 100 plus is only a few we truly need to work on our education system…

After all that, you're telling me she gained six delegates? Really? That's all? You'd think it was the second coming of HRC. Give me a break. I can't believe I was actually upset about Obama losing. Six delegates?

"Hillary Clinton lost her last, best chance to make significant inroads in the pledged delegate count" period.

Clinton can deliver big swing states that matter. Obama only small Republican strongholds.

If the superdelegates overturn the results of the pledged delegates AND the popular vote, there will be riots in this country. How difficult is it for people to understand that an overall majority of individuals who have voted in these various primaries prefer Obama to Clinton? If you take out the Republicans who are voting for her, that margin grows even larger!

7 delegates? That's all she gets in her huge victory? Wow… way to drag it out.

She won fair and sqaure, I mean come on he out spent her in every possible way and he still lost.

Obama did amazing tonight. The $12 million was worth it. Hillary has been campaigning for 16 years and she only got 55% of the vote. Obama in six weeks got 45% of the vote. Out of 2.2 million votes Obama came away with over 1 million. He has large support in every demographic. Hillary needs to show good judgement by dropping out, stop wasting time and money by asking people to give to a losing campaign.

Obama is overly arrogant. All he's good for is speak. He tells you that he has plans to change things, but now HOW he hopes to accomplish those plans. Clinton may not be able to clinch the needed number of delegates in time, but neither will Obama. His true inexperience and his true character are starting to show and he's starting to fall apart and the American people are starting to see it. In another article something was claimed about the "wheels of his wagon" aren't coming off. The truth of the matter is, they are. The screws keeping the wheels on the wagon are starting to get loose and he's starting to break down. Clinton is still standing strong.

IT is AMAZING how much Rosh…and Lean…don't know what they are talking about. Percentage points means thousands of voters.
If you are going to spout off and try to have an OPINION, try to be correct! Ar least read information for yourselves.
Clinton would have to win 65% of the remaining states to get close to Senator Obama's lead. After all the hoopla she STILL ONLY NETS 6 delegates. WHY DO YOU THINK ALL THE SUPERDELEGATES ARE GOING TO SENATOR OBAMA"S CAMP? He is the strongest candidate and he beats McCAIN by 10 points when compared to Clinton.

Who runs the best financial campaign? OBAMA
Who never looses a staffer due to frustration? OBAMA
Who raises twice the campaign funds? OBAMA
At least use your brains when it comes to the elections. The media throws you out a 'sound bite that Carl Rove cooked up and you lap it up like little mindless puppies.
IF she was going to catch up with him in delegates she neede to win by 65:36 margin. She didn't.
With the traceless, paperless, RENDELL OWNED voting machines(this is a fact) how could the outcome be any different? Do you think that fire at the Clinton Headquarters burned the records of the foreign donors to the Clinton libray by ACCIDENT?

Change change change, that's all Obama talks about, what has he DONE about change?

OBAMA = WRIGHT
OBAMA = REZKO
OBAMA = AYERS

Same old corruption.

There is a very telling Washington Post article in which a few native Pennsylvanians articulated their reasons for not voting for Obama. Among them were comments like "Is he even an American?" and concerns about his father being from "Nigeria [a.k.a. Kenya]."

So way to go, Hillary. Way to work that uneducated white male vote.

(Let's not discount that Pennsylvania was dubbed "Ohio on crack," and yet the margins of victory are much lower. Those facts, while soft, and those numbers suggest an exponential loss of support for Sen. Clinton.)

My hope, and I have "The audacity of Hope", is that the 'Billary' crowd sinks down to their earned level of respect. The thought of the two of them slinking around the WH is my worst nightmare. With Hillary's latest promise to nuke Iran in oblivian, she ranks with McCain and Bush. Idoits! Anything to get a vote. As a white male,age 72 and a retired Marine officer my vote is for Barrack!!!

Obama knew coming into Pensylvania he was not going to win. He said it on a news interview earlier this week. He pulled off a great run at PA even tough the Clinton campaign continues to show tactics that hint more towards the right. Obama will be getting the nomination.

Because of the nature of Hillary Clinton's campaign in Pennsylvania, I fully expected her to win by a 20 point margin. Apparently her motivation is to destroy Obama to such a degree that even if he wins the Democratic Nomination, he will be so bloodied that he will even have a difficult time beating McCain. I don;t really believe he will lose to McCain, but Clinton won't mind if he does, because then she can come back in 2012 and say, "See, I told you so." I am ashamed of the women who so blindly vote for a woman candidate that they shut their eyes to the kind of person she is.
I sincerely believe that Barack Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime presidential candidate whom we may not see again in this generation. His innate decency prevents him from really getting into the gutter with this woman, and as a result, either he will lose or the Democratic Party will be so badly splintered that we may lose in November. Tragic!

Tonight, Obama spoke about how throughout each presidency in former years, much was promised, but nothing changed. How does he propose to bring about change when he continues to surround himself with for president Bill Clinton's former staff/cabinet members?

It looks like her final tally will be closer to 9% rather than 10%. Not a major change other than Hillary didn't hit double figures. If she somehow does get the nomination I don't think the pundits have any idea of the level of scorn there is for the Clintons in their own party.

Based on fact Hilary did win but at this rate it is technical impossible for her to win the nomination without the super delegates overriding the current and eventual results. If the super delegates were to override the delegate count, it will put the country into complete disarray, raises significant questions around the structure of our democracy and potentially lay the foundation for a civil war. This isn't about whether it is Obama or Clinton, this is about our collective people as a society that we are in control of our destiny.

Yes, Roshawda, I "accept the FACT that voters have changed their mind about you (Obama)" they sure did, They swung TO OBAMA by another 10 points in just the last 2 weeks!!! PA was always gonna be a Hillary win, just like North Carolina is considered one for OBAMA. This is NOT a swing to her, she was up nearly 30 POINTS a few months ago in a state made for her demographics. She had to win BIG to make a dent in the 157 delegate lead he has, she did not succeed. The spin about this being a surprising win, and a tide-turner is just that, spin. I'm SICK TO DEATH of the pundits talking about these results like each race is with the same folks/demographics, so each result can be compared…NO NO NO. Just like there are RED states and BLUE states, there are always going to be states where one of the candidates is expected to win thru demographics, PA was one. She was up by 30 and Obama cut it back to 9.5. The momentum is with him.

And they're right…

Yesterday, 28% of the remaining delegates became accounted for…and Hillary closed only 7.5% of Obama's pledged delegate lead.

Stated another way…

Before PA, Clinton needed 65% of the remaining delegates to catch up. After PA, Clinton needs 69% of the remaining delegates to catch up.

She won. But by not enough.

It's comparable to being in the 25th mile of a marathon…and trailing the leader by two minutes. And during that 25th mile, you shave off 10 seconds of his lead.

It might feel good, but it's just not enough.

On the Anderson Cooper political wrap up Roland Martins commets on Hillarys victory in PA. "she won because blue collar, uneducated, workers voted for her" Well that sounds like Obama faux pas.
I know she won because American voters voted for her.True,not all Americans have a college degree
True Americans work hard so their children can get a college degree.
True the American Army- Marine Who was just killed in Iraq may or may not have a college degree.
And the Amerian mother or father of those killed may or may not have a college degree.
We need a president who will represent ALL AMERICANS not just Americans with a college degree.
My mother used to tell me "you are know by the friends you choose"
God bless you mom you are right again.

Obama is still leading despite a 10 point winning margin. Hillary is going to face sounds in NC. Indiana will be a balanced, She will cry again. Blue-collar vote is finished for the primaries. The remaining contests will be determined by salaried, young and rational voters.

Go Obama!!

I just made a discovery. Obama does not live up to his slogan as an instrument of CHANGE. While he talks about "changing" the way Washington works, he continues to brag about all those well seasoned politicians/superdelegates who continue to endorse him. Another reason we can all see that this "change" tactic is a bottomless talking point — and nothing else — is his continuing to surround himself with former cabinet/staff members of President Bill Clinton. So while he was busy running down the Clinton presidency in his "concession" speech tonight, just a few days ago came a highly publicized endorsement from Robert Reich, Clinton's Secretary of the Treasury. Go figure!

the only reason obamas ahead is because florida and michigan have not spoken

Polls are just polls till the results are in. Clinton won by 10% which is what it took to make an impact. Obama outspent her 3 to 1 and STILL lost! In almost all parts of PA Clinton won by huge margins except Philly and he won in Philly because 90% of African Americans voted for him which is mostly the race of the people in Philly! Obama can't win most of America in the Presidential election where Republicans, Independents, and Democrats vote because most of America is not made up of the group of people who vote for him! He just doesn't appeal to the broad base of ALL voters in a Presidential election! He keeps saying I have more this, I have more that. Add Florida's voters where both Clinton and him were on the ballot and see where he stands.. Let Michigan vote again and then see where they both stand. Dean really screwed this election up disenfranchising voters. If the Democrats want to win in NOVEMBER in the election that REALLY counts, they will need have a nominee that has a chance against McCain and that simply isn't Obama if you REALLY pay attention of the dynamics out how everyone will vote in a general election. Bush won in 2004. Who thought that was possible?!?! Hillary is the only one who stands a chance against McCain..

GO…OBAMA!

Obama, If you could turn your whinning into votes, you would be smoking, face it you cannot win the big States, you are a weak candidate, you are a HORRIBLE debater, because you are inexperience, you have no substance, just an empty suit, You entered the Senate Yesterday and today you are running for president. You are the AUDACITY OF HYPE instead of the AUDACITY OF HOPE. You spent 12 million dollars and you could not BUY yourself a win in Penn. You Don't get it. People are on to you and Rev. Wright, go back and get some experience so that when you debate, you will be prepared

It's clear that Obama will be the Democratic nominee. If Hillary wants the Democrats to win the next general election then she should go now.

Obama is the best choice – for the USA and for the world.

I think I know why Bill Clinton is trying to bring up HIS racial slurs in South Carolina on the day of the Pennsylvania primary and prior to Indiana/North Carolina…to forget HER nasty comments. If we remember Bill Clinton's fantasy and Jesse Jackson remarks, maybe the media won't replay Hillary Clinton's clips of "words don't matter" and "it took a white president, Linden Johnson to get Civil Rights inacted." 92% of Pennsylvania's black voters seem to remember.

It figures that Clinton won Pennsylvania, that backward, uneducated, racist state. They are looking backward like their backward, dishonest candidate to the "good old days". But it is a credit to Obama's campaign that she won only by 10%. I don't feel sorry for those thousands of people in Pennsylvania who lost their jobs. They need to get a grip and get up to date in the 21st century and read the fact checker — reality conflicts with their illusions.

Roshawda…she wasn't gracious when he won. She wouldn't even acknowledge, let alone congratulate. You don't mind a woman who has lied to you, played the woman card, fake cried before New Hampshire, she made accusations about him with NAFTA and Canada, which Canada said were untrue, but Columbia admitted they weren't sure if Penn was not there for Clinton, she has been dishonest in so many ways. Used the race card and been dishonest about the issues with Florida and Michigan and you support her??

Really?

And Leanza…he is ahead by 129 delegates and over 500K in the popular vote and won twice the states. It's hypocrital to accuse Obama of disenfranchising the Florida and Michigan votes when SHE was in agreement with that decision when she felt she was a shoe in THEN to openly demand the Superdelegates to disenfranchise the voters to rule in her favor. Its also hypocritical of her to claim the states HE won are not important, but insist the primary race continue because she feels all state are important and should be counted. Which one is it?

You guys prefer lies and hypocracy?

Honestly, this is why men joke about women voting. Who can respect us when women like you vote just because she is a woman and disregard behaviours and issues that you would not disregard in a man.

I disagree with the Obama campaign. This result shows that although Senator Clinton was outspent 3 to 1 by her opponent, she still managed a 10 point victory. This is amazing.

She has shown strength, courage and determination. All of these qualities are exactly what you want in a President. Throughout this
campaign, she has never given up.

I hope everyone watching this election sees this win in Pennsylvania for what it is: a great accomplishment against great adversity.

She lost her shot months ago, it was called Iowa.

What a shamefull statement from the hope king.

clinton needs 80% of undecided supers to break her way to catch up

highly unlikely

Do the MATH, Obama wins the nomination.

Hillary needs 80% of the rest of the pledged delegates.

She needs 75% of the superdelegates.

It just isn't going to happen. Obama won the Democratic Primary, just be graceful and accept that.

Say no to McSame!!

ITS FUNNY HOW HILARY SUPPORTERS SIMPLY DO NOT GET THE MATH……IT DID NOT CHange the delegate count!!!!!!Can you people, figure that out????all hilary is doing is denting obama's image so that supporters like you who have little infomaTION CAN RALLY BEHIND HER. THE TRUTH IS SHE REALLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT OBAMA, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM DOES1!!!!!!!!

Clinton can't win. She has to win 68% of the vote the rest of the way out to overtake Obama. If roles were reversed, Obama would be forced out by the party leadership.

I do believe that if Hilary had not won PA tonight, a concession would be in order. But that did not happen. And she's in it to win it! I myself will vote for her since I value experience and ingenuity over talks of hope and "change". Give it up Barack, your days of preaching "change" are over and you should prepare to jump on Hilary's ticket as a VP.

You need to check your math Leanza … 130+ is more than "only a few"!
The 8 or so she won tonight is "only a few"

Leanza – Obama is up by more delegates than are even total in the state of PA. I like how Clinton likes to say not to disenfranchise voters, yet then when you look at the vote count as it stands, she says superdelegates should look past the delegate count.

Blah, blah, blah, I am so sick of these two democrates–I am voting for McCain, he has some manners and would make a pretty good president.
Obama needs a lot more experience in the senate or whatever.
Clinton needs to be a senior Senator.
Bill Clinton needs to shut up.
I am moving back to Canada

Obama MUST admit to the fact, they've OUTSPENT Hillary 3:1 and LOSE big time in PA!

Your money Obama can't buy you votes!

140 delegate is more than a few she needed to win and win big and she didn't not to mention their is still Indiana and North Carolina if she losses both you can't agrue that Obama should get the Nominee. He was graceful and congradulated her and if voters changed their minds about him then what happened to her 20 point lead. An Hiliary isn't bad she lied members of her campaign where making deals with the Columbians, oh and not to mention she supported Bush in invading Iraq my bad she is a saint

Obama keeps telling us that he is "winning". So why hasn't he won, already? He isn't and he can't and he won't win without superdelegates. He and Hillary are pretty much in the same boat.

Stop the Drama, Vote Obama

if they split the remaining delegates (likely), clinton needs 72% of the undecided supers to break her way just to tie it up..

think about it

Clinton now leads in popular vote, if FL and MI are counted:

Popular Vote (w/FL & MI)**, as follows

Obama has 14,954,773 or 46.9%

Clinton has 15,076,842 or 47.2%

WHOA!!!! The game has changed!

After spending millions of dollars more than Hillary he still can't win a major state over 40 percent of her votes will not vote for Obama in the election if he is the nominee.Obama is unelectable against MCcain

obama is doing great. besides the negative publicity against him during the campaign period, he managed to get very reasonable support from the voters.

Typical Hillary stuff: only the votes for Hillary count, etc. While it may be cathartic for her supporters to give lip service to the notion that she is only "e few votes" back, the reality is much less kind. She hopelessly behind, and this is a pyrrhic victory if there ever was one, similar to the 4 primary Tuesday preceding this one. With victories like this, who needs losses?

Loser Obama.

Hillary for President.

All this Obamanista talk about the superdelegates “giving” it to Clinton is a farce. The SD will have to give it to either Obama or Clinton because neither will have the pledged delegates necessary. So which one can beat McCain should be the issue. If the DNC gives it to Obama, then McCain wins. The DNC will deserve to lose the White House and the Congress because they stupidly allowed New Hampshire and Iowa to extort them to disenfranchise voters in Florida and Mich. If those two states counted as they should, Clinton would have this wrapped up. Also, the DNC stupidly allowed the first "official" primaries or caucuses to be in Iowa, NH, Nevada and South Carolina, all states that lean to red in general elections. The small pockets of Dems in those states are lefty-lefts, so they went for Obama, a person who will get trounced by McCain. Clinton polls better than Obama in large populous states that are needed to win in November.

I can't believe that Clinton's cult is saying this is a big win. She won 6 more delegates then Obama. Why are all the news making this sound like a big win. At this rate she will need to win 30 more states to catch up to Obama. Everyone says she needs to win by 20% to catch up and she never gets half of that, but the DNC lets her keep going to destroy Obama. It must be the DNC death wish.

i think she may have lost more than that! I think she may have lost the respect of a good many, good Democrats and gained the admiration of a lot of Republicans. To make such a statement, as; We would be able to totally obliterate them., is a statement I would expect from President Bush or Vice-President Cheney, not from Senator Clinton! Never, in a hundred years! I sure hope she isn't consulting with Senator Lieberman and entertaining the idea of running on Senator McCain's ticket, if she loses the nomination!! I don't really know how far-fetched that thought is, I hope it isn't too far-fetched!!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

It is fine that all this is what american want, but one thing is that usa as a chance to regain the trust of the world again. By not voting the person people think that he can help to bring the world together it will domage the usa credibility around the global you people you don't see it but people around the world are looking at you. The other thing is that the big machine of the devil is now working more than ever, they want to stop Obama.

Indiana and North Carolina will balance any gain and improve
his Delegate count even further. She cannot win, she shot her last
best chance. It's over.

Obama "LOST" me a long time ago

when on Feb 1st, he tried to speak for me and say that I would certainly endorse him had he won; and his supporters would Not endorse Clinton had she won…

…talk about AUDACITY

MR. OBAMA – YOU HAVE MY 100% SOLID WORD THAT I WILL NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR YOU.

I WILL PROTEST AGAINST YOU SHOULD YOU WIN

AND I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE SURE YOU LOSE.

Obama is leading in every category of cumulative result. And people want to write him off already? The same people who say they admire Clinton for continuing to tilt at windmills?

The escalating negative tone that has come from Clinton will only hurt all democrats this fall.

Obama is ahead and she can't catch him. What part of that is so hard to grasp?

"The party system was organized for the superdelegates to elect of best between the two" — omg just when I thought I heard it all, someone comes out with something like this. Helloo out there Leanza — go buy a Politics 101 book and start reading. Superdelegates don't go against the popular vote — WHICH OBAMA HAS WON.

Obama you lost in my state Ohio, and now PA start packing your campaign your done!

Lets face it, the Democratic party is stupid as far as these primaries go. Why don't they do like my party, the Republicans, and just give the winner all the delegates? It shows that Hillary Clinton would be ahead of Obama.

Hahahahahahahahah!!!
These Obamorons are funny in a sad way!

Leanza do you reallly think that his over 100 delegate lead is just a "few". Wow?!? She needs to get out now for the sake of the party.

The only reason Clinton was outspent by Obama is because he could.
He has 3-4 times the number of people throughout the country sending him money.
He has raised 3-4 times that of Clinton.
If Hillary had the same amount of money to spend as Barack you can guarantee that she would have spent every single dime.

This is a ridiculous argument put out by the long term losing side.

If the super delegates go into the convention and change the democratically cast popular vote from Barack to Hillary this process will be no better than Bush stealing in 2000. It will be a sham of democracy.

Hillary's margin in PA means that any chance of her winning the nomination outright died tonight. Expect her to be even nastier in races to come – as damaging Obama beyond electability is her only hope of ever becoming POTUS. She makes me weep for our party.

Yes, she won the Penn state as expected…..but…..the delegates
that are still pending have a majority for Obama, and thus
by math the total delegate count will be for Obama. At the
end Mc Cain will win !

no, no, no; everyone on cnn was pointing out that he had been very far behind in Pennsylvania to begin with, but then caught up. What they left out on ccn was that he did not freaze in closing the gap, but actually went backward. he was down some 20 points, caught up to around 4 or 5 behind, then lost by 10. not to mention that obama spent a lot of time and money in that state, but still lost. he outspent her 3-1 and he still couldn't pull it out. she is going to make significant in roads in the pledged delegate count as well as the popular vote and voters are going her way, so that increase will continue to go up. she's winning the blue states and the blue states and by significant double digit margins. the democratic base is on her side and the super delegates realize that.

so funny. obama the loser.

Congratulation Hillary, in life we all win some and lose some. With that being said, u and barack will still win some more and lose some more states BUT Barack will be the democratic nominee. Mark my prediction!

OBAMA 08

This give the voters more time to discover the real Obama.
Oh yes…and the superdelegates….and maybe delegates in general.
She knows what she's doing.

Unelected people to choose who is the best? Really, is that how it should be? We're losing steam as democrats and this in-fighting. We deserve a republican president because simply put, we cannot get our leather together.

Obama beats McCain and Clinton in a three way match up forget the superdelegates! You Clinton people are dreaming in color

I give the Clinton camp one week before they make the announcement. Go out on a winning note is what Hillary should do. Go Obama.

Nice try at trying to spin your loss.

You cant win key states and that is why you are unelectab.

I am a conservative independent and I will never vote for someone as liberal as you. At least Hillary is a moderate that is liberal towards some things and conservative towards other.

Anybody but Obama '08

I think this proves that you can't BUY an ELECTION.

WAKE UP SUPERDELEGATES, ENDORSE HILLARY!!!!!!

HILLARY 08

Obama is right, Clinton blew her last chance to catch him. She needed a 30 point win, not 9.

All she gets out of this win is about 12 delegates, which Obama will more than erase in the upcoming contests of Guam, NC and Indiana-3 primaries, he enjoys a lead in and support from the local democratic machines.

So where are the super delegates, do they not want to win in November. It's time to jump on the Obama bandwagon, while there's still a chance for the democrats to win the fall election.

I am sick of the pundits going on and on about what horrible problems Obama has in not being able to beat Hillary in certain demographic slices of the voters. You don't hear ad nauseum about how Hillary has problems among the demographics Obama has been winning. The treatment is imbalanced.

There are people who prefer her over him, but that doesn't mean they're going to prefer McCain over him when it comes to the general election. There are many thousands of those people who supported her but will vote Democratic regardless of which one wins. There are many thousands of people who liked both of them well enough that they didn't decide which to support until the day of the primary.
The same holds in reverse if she were to win the nomination.

The results do not imply that he has huge problems in getting the support of blue collar Democrats (or Catholics, or seniors, or whomever) when it comes to the general election – it merely means that if they had their choice of the two, they would prefer her.

Obama does not have the margin to claim the nomination. He his only a few delegates ahead. The party system was organized for the superdelegates to elect of best between the two.

She won Obama– be graceful and accept that– also accept the FACT that voters have changed their mind about you. I'm one of them. I supported you til I found out who the REAL you was… You won't have my vote anymore!!!!!

And let's not forget (because the talking heads on CNN mostly did) that Clinton, just weeks ago, was up by twice the number she won by today. Yes, she won by 10 points, but she lost 10 points to Obama's campaign. And she needed that 10 points desperately. When all is said and done, PA will have made barely a dent in Obama's lead and the bloodying of the Democratic Party will march on.

Hillary has really shown she is really willing to do anything to win. Is this really someone who is concerned with the leadership for the people or the leadership of power?

Outspending Senator Clinton nearly 3 – 1 Senator Obama still lost his last chance to win a BIG state primary.

CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY!

Well if Hillary was not in-debt close to $10 Million and running out of money, she would also be spending money to actually beat Obama on her own turf.

The guy is calculating for spending money on a state he knew she will win, just to slow her financially,which means he can spare millions more 2 beat her @ Indiana and NC. I'm disappointed she was ahead of him by 29% and now she managed measle 10% where she only has 3 more delegates out of Pen victory while he still leads in delegate and popular vote?

Senator Clinton is winning the usual blue dem, but Obama is expanding on Independent and moderate Republicans who are the swing voters in this election.

Shame on CNN. Obama was NEVER projected to win in Pennsylvania. Why are you hyping this so much? Compared to Senator Clinton, First Lady for eight years, and her husband, President for eight years, he was not nearly as well known in Pennsylvania.

Not only was she ahead by 25 points, she had the formidable resource of Governor Rendel and the mayors of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh campaigning for her. All Senator Obama ever hoped to do was try to narrow that gap of 25 points. And he did that pretty effectively.

Unfortunately, Senator Clinton's hysteria and her desperation rubbed off on all of you media types. You did a lot of the heavy lifting for her in Pennsylvania. You never highlight her lies as much as you do Senator Obama's miscues. It makes you look petty and out of touch, frankly.

Since she has won a state she was expected to win, where is your story. What is the point of all this hype. You will be talking about this for the next two weeks. Talking about turning a corner, lifting your script right out of her playbook. Obama still leads in delegates, funds, primaries won, and popular vote. I

have noticed a huge difference in the way you cover the Obama campaign. You aren't even subtle. Maybe you need to read the New York Times editorial for Wednesday, April 23rd.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the polish wearing off of the Obama express?

It makes me ill to see this woman doing whatever it is she does to cheat/rig elections. I have felt she has done this since New Hampshire. When they said she needed to win by 10 tonight I knew she would do it. How exactly does she do that? It makes me ill to think there are so many twisted people in this world that can not see through her and actually vote for her. Scary! She has caused so much damage and I would never vote for her ever…
Barack, just keep doing what you do best and don't sink to her level. You are a man of integrity (not a word in her vocabulary). Keep fighting.

These guys are a joke! First of all, Obama had 6 weeks to sway all of these voters his way, to no avail. He significantly outspent Hillary Clinton by 3-to-1 margins in advertisements. By the same argument, I guess it's safe to say that Obama's demographic states are those with black voters, who will vote for him not matter what. The argument goes both ways. Additionally, who do you think these blue collar, older white voters will vote for if Obama's the nominee?

Clinton has won, good! All we want to know is where she got the experience she is claiming over Obama. Wife of a president can not claim experience in dealing with American problems. In fact, I see her crying instead of answering the 3am phone call.
I forgot Clinton has one experience.The experience is how to lie about snipper shot. American people should know that a presidential candidate who has short-term memory and a snipper shot at her, will forget that unemployment and poverty hovering around low income families.
Let us not forget the name Clinton; let us not forget that any more Clinton in the White House will be a glorified "third term" tenure. American people need a new person in that White House. No more, old Politicians who always promise us heaven and earth, only to spend 8yrs causing troubles and scandals.

Barack Obama and his campaign have done an amazing job. I would say it's one of the best run campaign I've ever seen in my life. Hillary should have won Pennsylvania by double digits, and I mean 15+ and she didn't. The more people get to know Barrack, the more they like him and trust him. According to Chuck Todd, after PA, Hillary has NO CHANCE to win the nomination with pledged delegates. Her only hope is to overturn the will of the voters by getting superdelegates to vote for her. A sad, sad case for the 'inevitable' nominee. No matter what people say, even though Obama is the frontrunner, he is still the underdog in this campaign. He's had to prove himself over and over and over. And I say to Barrack, GO KICK MCSAME TO THE CURB AND CLEAN UP THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Forget about President, Clinton just lost her last chance for a VP position.
I would rather not vote, if Obama chooses Hillary as his running mate.
There are so many well qualified and energetic men and women in the democrat party to be Vice President.

Congratulations to Senator Clinton! But, I must say "this is still not a victory because she only received 52 pledged delegates to Senator Obama's 47″. This win told the world "she needs to be on the winning ticket as Vice President", but, she is not the front runner and it is impossible for her to be.

If she does not accept being on the ticket as Vice President, she is definitely out to destroy the reputation of Senator Obama and the Democratic party. In playing "Russian Rulette", she could also damage her name with the Democratics going forward.

Obama, Mr. President, and Hillary, Vice President 08 – WE CAN NOT LOOSE WITH THIS TICKET!!!

She had a net gain of, what, 3 or 4 delegates?

North Carolina will be won by 15-25% … not 5%.

That's more than she won in PA.

She's a loser.

Here we go with the Obama spin again! Geez! She won. Deal with it and move on Obama cry babies! He out spent her 3 to 1 and she still whipped him good! He can't even buy a win. Maybe people are finally beginning to question his judgement.
She is gaining on him in the popular vote big time! There is only a 1% difference in popular vote.
Yeah Penn! Lots of good hard working smart people live there is Obama downing them and their opinion again? Sounds like it to me.

To Camp Obama:

The good senator still has my vote, but it's apparent seeds of doubt are sprouting up across the land. Time to do away with the one-size fits-all speeches and roll up the sleeves. In other words, focus on making connections with voters–instead of making history.

(Zzzzzzzz) As if we did'nt know that her family roots in Pa. would be her only advantage to win. Well Hillary you just barely made it so don't get too cocky. You better quickly get over your small accomplishment and wake up to realize you are still in the back of Senator Obamas smoke!
Keep your political mask on because up here in the Obama stratosphere you have to learn how to breath in the truth and exhale honesty. Deceit and bravado along with cronyism do not exist. John M. and you represent pretty much of the same ( wars and rumours of war). I hope you can stand the heat from the fire you have started.

Hillary needs to get out the race and she is not going to made the nomination. She is very negative in the DNC and she is not get the respect as a persident because she is a liar. We won't trust a leader will liar to the American people.

Obama has not shown that he can win the white working votes or the Catholic votes. This is a troubling sign for November if he is the nominee.
This is a big concern for me and many orders.

Jean
Florida

I agree with that, Hillary should have won by big margin given her popularity in that PA state, but Obama have narrowed the gap. The result have shown that, Obama have done well so has H. Clinton.

Obama 08

I hate to say this, but to me it looks like Senator Obama's campaign is desperate at this point. I am not a wizard in marketing, and I only have a B.S. in Public Relations, but to me it looks ridiculous to go after the winner and say that they "lost a chance to win". It just damages your image. You no longer look like winners, you now look like loosers. I am an undecided voter, but maybe you should over look your tactics. Your claim to bring in more young people may look affective, but saying that when you lost, you won is wrong and shows your weakness. It will help people decide to support Senator Clinton. A good politician or a speaker does not say that he lost, but he still won. Sorry, but you just made a grave mistake. Good luck.

Barrack needs to drop out of the race after this huge defeat.

Clinton just lost her last, best chance…..BAH……

Clinton was David to Obama's Goliath millions of dollars and she still won by 10%. Outstanding.

Senator Clinton's supporters are not swayed by the spin of the Obama Campaign. We hope that the media will wake up and smell the voter's coffee and ignore the continuous drivel of the Obama campaign.

Senator Clinton for President….the best REAL hope for this country!

Last best Chance? I believe it was a very significant victory for her. I mean being beaten 3-1 in spending, she managed to pull off a 10 percent lead. This gives her momentum to win Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico at least. Obama has more to prove, he just cant cross the finish line.

Yup. She's in it to spin it. Cause she certainly can't win it. The best indication that this contest has long been over for Hillary is the fact that to McCain, she is invisible. John McCain hasn't directed a single comment towards Hillary in the Last month. The Republicans have focused all their attention on Barack because they understand that he has the nomination. Hillary needs come to the same realization, step down and focus on getting Barack into office.

Talk about negative.
Everything has changed!

This is the first democratic primary race where it is openly said on a daily basis that the loosing candidate's supporters would support the candidate from the other party instead of the winner. The other party being the one led by George Bush. Why is it so because Barack Obama is african american(actually half white),despite his message of hope and unity and an end to an illegal/immoral/unjustified and costly war. Let me ask you this then. If it were Hillary Clinton and John Edwards and John was the winner, would her supporters desert him? I don't think so, so it confirms my suspicion that Hillary and Bill are purposely and openly playing the race card to the benifit of John McCain and to the detriment of Sen Obama and the democratic party.Now if you loose all of america knows why..shame on you!!!

Obama 08 and 12

Wow!! Obama's camp are some serious haters. Clinton wins and they just want to attack her. They should just get off of her and focus on their own campaign. Obama lost fair and square.

Crybaby attitude…
America deserves better.
12 million spent and the Pro-Obama Media and he still couldn't deliver.
Just Say "No" to Obama

Go Obama! Your supporters will work harder for you as we like to be the underdogs. You still have money which I can say Clinton does not shes in debt…

Obama 08

Too chicken to debate. obama I wouldn't vote for you for dog catcher.You're too unfit.

Can you smell what the Barack is cooking??

What a joke. Obama can't close the deal and is getting thumped in the states you must win.

Caucuses aren't in the General Election and the big chip states make or break elections.

Obama can't win the must win states, in the Democratic Primary. It only gets worse in the Republican General Election run-off.

Obama's boys must be on drugs.

Hillary will keep on winning.

Hillary 08!!!!

This state was made for her campaign and she could only manage a 10% win. Do the math; she is still behind by all counts. Remember she AGREED NOT TO count Florida and Michigan originally. My parents raised me to believe that a person's ability to keep their word defines their character

So, a 10-point-victory is not convincing enough?. I don't even know Obama and his people are talking about!.. The BEST SOLLUTION for them and for this country is Obama should consider to drop out of this race!. Who's going to vote for him in November anyway?. Not me and never be me!

loser!!

I think I have to agree with Obama today

I am so UPSET with Hillary today. This was her last chance to kick that Obama away…

Clinton won in PA today. I am not for either Obama and Clinton. But, why we don't hear about Obama showing his finger to her during his speach? I did see several YouTube videos about it.

That's rich.

Clinton has won 4 of the last 6 primaries.

It's clear who has the momentum. If what is known about Obama now was known at the beginning of the campaign, this would be over by now.

Exactly, now it's time for clinton to get out while she can save some face. She has a 0% chance of winning the nomination now.

It is pathetic argument. Obama will never ever win the general election. This nation needs a doer not a talker.

Obama will show Hillary what a landslide win is in NC.
OBAMA 08!

Oh yeah???

You are good at making someone look bad when if we have to trace the where the trouble lies from it will turn back to your camp.

Yeah play that innocent "I did not do such thing. I do not know who did it. I did not do it."

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPEN OBAMA WILL BE THE NOMINE HE STILL LEAD

I agree, is does not look like Hillary is going to damaged Obama delegate lead.

Well I belive counting all election returns, clinotn leads in the popular vote. I guess that does change the dynamic

comments like those from Obama's team just add to the negative tone of this election season. BOTH Obama and Hillary are too negative and are to blame

Not even the Bush admin can spin a defeat faster and harder than this. Funny but now the Obama camp is starting to sound a little bitter themselves.

Ok, Big deal. He spent more money than she did whoopie!!! But his money spent narrowed him below a 10 percent margin which was supposed to be 20 percent or more. So who is the winner here? Lets see how closer she got to O'bama in delegates……I really don't see a big difference at all. This continued farce is very very bad for the democratic party.

Sore Losers…. Such hypocrisy

Obama and his guys need to stop crying foul… Doesnt he remember Win is 50 plus 1.

HILLARY …'08.. Keep going.. you are going to make it….

Put your hoods on and Vote for Hillary 08′

Tonight once again shows Obama can't seem to win the battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania despite outspending Hillary in ads 3 to 1. Questions should be raised about Obama's electability.

oh course they're trying to diminish her victory, politics politics politics. but i guess they're just doing their job.

GREAT WIN HILLARY!!!!! KEEP IT GOIN AND GOIN STRONG!

10 PERCENTAGE POINTS, and they said she needed a double digit victory – well we got it!

She was supposed to win by 20 points. she barely won 10. So what has changed ? She won 3 more delegates ? What a joke …

OBAMA DID A GREAT JOB TONIGHT. Clinton was expected to win by a LARGE MARGIN. & she just barely made it. Obama has won 30 & Clinton has won 15. Hillary is a BIG LOSER. Keep it going Hillary.

True That!!!! Let them spin it however they want to, but that's the bottom line. Like it or lump it.

Obama and his supporters are quibbling, Obmama's advisors are professional to cook up a good excuse, all of his supporters are just same as Obama and his advisors, they made me laugh everyday.
Obama is inexperienced and naive, so he doesn't know how to lose, he and his supporters thought they can buy the voters with money, but no way with PA voters, where is Obama's JUDGEMENT?

Time for OBAMA to get REAL WORRIED about being ELECTABLE in NOV 08!!

GO HILLARY!

Great win Hillary!!! I thought Obama was above the fray in the realm of negative spin. I was wrong.

11 million dollars in tv ads and he still lost by 10 points. I would try to spin things too. He can spin all he wants, but the truth is he cannot win the blue collar votes, the Reagan democrates. Without them on our side in November, we loose big time.

I think the Obama campaign should worry about why their guy can't win the big states that he would need if he wins the nomination!

Talk about sour grapes she won and it was a double digit win get over it. If Clinton wins, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Puerto Rico, they give her Florida and split Michigan she wins the popular vote and I bet the superdelegates flock to her.

They're right. Tonight really made no difference, no matter what Fox News is trying to say right now. You know they want this thing to drag on and on.

Dems, get smart. Stop voting for this woman. A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain at this point.
