Why is it that Politics bring out the Worst in people instead of the Best?
I am voting for the canidate that runs HIs/Her campaign with the most Dignity and Poise in this unrelenting heated battle.
I believe that person to be Obama. I'd rather have a gentle (but strong) giant in the White House than an hard (unyielding) person with experience!
From an Independant.

I would like one Clinton supporter to explain to me why Obama should drop out or go away when he leads in every category from delegets, states, popular vote, money raised? I just beg one person to give me a reason better than the 4 reasons i gave.

What stereotypes! You guys think you know how everyone is supposed to vote based on their age, gender etc. …And you got it totally wrong, at least in my case.

Hey, I am a Catholic. I am a blue collar worker. And I am over 40. And I refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton, ever. Because I have thoughts! And a brain in my head!

I remember NAFTA, TATA Consulting, her lies about giving licenses to illegal immigration, her lies about being shot at, and generally, her lies about everything else. I remember scandal after Clinton scandal: WhiteWater, Monica Lewinski, Ken Starr, Cattle Futures, looting the White House and Air Force One, and right on up to the sale of presidential pardons as they left office.

The Clintons are crooks, criminals. The worst kind. They should both be in jail. And if it was any of us, we would be. They don't deserve the White House again.

20 Years: Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush. And where exactly has that gotten us? It is time for change, time for a new direction. I would vote for the Devil himself before I would vote for the Clintons again. (And there wouldn't be that much difference.)

~ HILLARY FOR PREZ!!! ~

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - 4/20/08
"….Those who have endorsed Obama have rhetorically swooned, too, designating him the future of American politics, while denigrating Clinton as a relic of politics past.

How ironic, since Obama owes no small part of his success to the grooming and support of Chicago's old-line Daley political machine….He has spent just three years in the U.S. Senate. Before that, he spent just eight years as one of 177 state legislators in Illinois. Before that, he was a university lecturer, a community organizer, a civil-rights lawyer.

Quite simply, this is no portfolio for a president, the world's most powerful leader. The presidency is no place for on-the-job training in the best of times — and certainly not when the nation is at war, the economy is struggling, and federal governance in general is adrift."

IF HILLARY CAN TURN THESE GUYS AROUND…IMAGINE WHAT SHE CAN DO!!! PROSPERITY AND PEACE FOR ALL ONCE AGAIN!!!

GOOO HILLARY….O-Bitter CAN'T HANDLE HILLARY ….MUCH LESS McSAME!!!

Breaking News for "Waffle Man" ~ You can NEVER have my VOTE!!

I agree Mike. Obama can't win the big states, we've seen it. He won't win the general election because the small states will turn on him and the big states may or may not go his way.

GO HILLARY!!!!

If she wins the nomination, it will be so FANTASTIC and a value proof of a real fighter that all the dems should be sure she'll crush McCain in November.. it's called SWEAT, PATRIOTISM and BLOOD..

How is it she whens 1 contest in since March 4 and she has momentumum. She has lost two races since then. She is the establishment candidate and should have closed this deal a long time ago. If the people in PA do not want to move forward, what can you do? We will as a Nation move forward with PA, OH and any other state that fails to see the change will get left behind.

If Obama wins the nomination we will definately loose in the Fall. The Republicans will chew him up in the general election. Let's all get real here and realize thqat the only person that can give McCain a fight in ther fall is Hillary. I hope the Superdelegates get this message and get it quick.

How can any of you believe polls. I use to take polls in Las Vegas and what they are is a survey. They only poll just a few out of the thousands and hundered of thousands in a state or city so if they poll 1600 in a city of 500,000 then that is not much of a poll they would have to poll every voter or citizen in order to really make a poll.

I think the contest between Hillary and Obama (I support HIM) will continue because the gutless "superdelegates" are worried about showing their hands. If A superdelegate supports Obama, it means he or she could be perceived as anti-feminist. If a superdelegate favors Hillary, he or she might have an African American backlash or be perceived as racist by some citizens. Obama is the best candidate. I'm a 64 y/o white woman who chose to support Obama because he is the BEST CANDIDATE, period.

I don't see Hillary wining by a big margin. In order for her to stay in the race, she has to win PA by a double digit margin. If she don't, she will have a problme catching up.

I think Obama is going to be party nominee.

Ooops! and by the way let's not forget about the finances….i'mean would'nt want any collection calls if i were hillary,…when ur debtors know fully well that u got cool Mills in the bank

****smokesignals*** I would rather support McCain, I know and like some of his politics. Yes, we'd loose a supreme court judge, but it can't be worse than what Obama won't do. I'm surprised at the democrats who look at politics as party lines, McCain is actually a smart guy, you shouldn't hate him just because he's not the same as you for everything.

As for Obama, I don't know where he really stands, besides present, on anything. I'm not going to vote for someone I don't know anything about. What I do know about him, is that he lies and misleads the media, as I've seen it done in many talks and debates. I don't trust him.

I do believe that Mrs.Clinton will win In Pennsylvania. I'll even make a prediction. Are ya ready? Clinton 63% Obama 47%. Of course, plus or minus whatever is, different than my prediction. Time, is Obamas enemy. Mr.Obama has a reality problem. The more time there is, for people to get to know, the behind the scenes reality, of Mr.Obama, the more people will move away from him. Mr.Obama, and his core of radical thinkers, are his own worse enemy. Not Mrs Clinton. If the voters don't unite behind Mrs.Clinton, they will unite behind Mr.McCain. Really, the question is, who do you want as president Mr.McCain, or Mrs Clinton? That ..IS.. what we are choosing, right now, in Pennsylvania. Good luck.

Who will rid us of this pestilential harridan?

Us "elitists" want a smart and thoughtful guy in the White House, not a power-hungry know-all who tells everyone what to do instead of winning them over. She's incapable of negotiating for a chocolate donut.

Amen to 4hillary.. My prayers and so many others have been going up faithfully for Hillary. God bless the United States Of AMERICA.

Hillary Clinton 2008

Like most of the other posters here, I too am a political junkie. If we weren't, we could all wait until tomorrow and then we wouldn't have to guess how it's going in Pennslyvania. But c'mon, this debate we're having is stupid–as far as votes go, the race is over already and has been for a while. Barack won the nomination weeks ago when he built an insurmountable lead in delegates, IF delegates are all you're looking at.

Hillary's only possible chance to win now is to convince the pledged and superdelegates that she is more electable and get some of them to change sides. Can she convince enough? I don't think so, but won't completely exclude the possibility. Can she damage the unity of the party sufficiently that we'll lose in November? Much more likely. Don't get me wrong–I WILL vote for her if she does somehow get the nomination, but I 'll continue to harbor quite a bit of resentment for how she's allowing an EXTREMELY slim personal shot at the White House to jeopardize an election that the Dems should have locked up.

Those of you who think the Republicans would go harder on Barack than on Hillary are either very young or have very bad memories. They HATE her–they're SCARED of him.

First of all, polls are not reliable when taken months ahead which is why no one gives creedence to polls about the general election in November. Polls only give you a snapshot of what is happening in the minds of voters at a particular point in time. Polls can be skewed by weighting and sampling which is why some polls are more reliable (SUSA) and others are not(Zogby). Advertising can make a huge difference in a close race since most people get their news from TV and not print media. As far as lying goes, they all do it. Obama has lied in every debate as well as some interviews that I've seen him on so you can't say lying is a Clinton specific problem. The country is in peril and voters need to understand experience does matter.

wow so after 6 weeks it all comes to the same old bickering about who should be the nominee…this is just sickening. i mean any rational mind looking at the stats shld alrdy have this figured out
let put aside favourtism

More States won = Obama

More delegates to date = Obama

Most Popular Votes = Obama

now u tell me the winner, even a 4 yr old can solve this math.

PLEASE LET'S APPLY REASON, B4 THING GET DISTASTFUL, AND ULTIMATELY FLUNK THE HOPES OF A DEM IN THE WHITEHOUSE

I just don't trust someone who 1. can't win the states that matter (California, New York, Ohio..) and 2. has supporters who are first time voters. No offense to all you first time voters, but I don't trust you. Follow politics for a few more years before you decide to pick whoever you think is most popular or says a few things that makes you tingle. Obama may be an interesting person, but in no way is he fit for this position.

Become a little cynical before you vote. Obama won't be able to make change, sure, it sounds nice, but it won't happen. Clinton knows how to make change that will happen.

Once again I am amazed at the people who say if their darling Hillary isn't the Democratic nominee that they will vote for McCain! What kind of logic is that? What kind of crazed thinking is that? You would vote for a Republican war monger senior citizen over a sane, intelligent and inspirational Democrat who has gained the support of the youth of our nation that has been so long disenfranchised?
Come on people. Use your brains!

Go Obama!

She was leading by 26 points just three weeks ago. Any win by less than 25 points shows that she's losing momentum. It's perposterous to say that a win by more than 10% means Obama is faltering. If Obama was in Hillary's position at this point in the race it would be OVER.

When Clinton wins in Penn. what it will show is that she is the one able to cary the large states with the most electoral votes; something that Obama had not done. If anyone remembers the last election, it was not the popular vote that gave Bush the election; it was the electroal vote.

the best man ever obama 08

Why do any of you care if Hillary is still in it? There is a high number of dems that still want her there and If she was not still there then Obama would be talking about McCain and all of you would say McCain is bad so what difference does it make who Obama goes against and talks bad about because some of you think Obama walks on water so who cares who he is running against.

People wake up! I guess, what should I expect from a nation who voted for Bush. Wait! I know, another Bush, I mean Obama.

What the heck is wrong with the Obama supporters? A LOSS is a LOSS. In what parallel universe does a win equate to 20-30% point margins? Democracy is guided by one principle: one man, one vote. If more people vote for Clinton, she wins. If voters in Florida and Michigan do not get heard, democracy has been seriously breached, rules or no rules. The arguments of the Obama side are idiocy and fly in the face of democracy the world over. Hillary will win PA today and the race should go on.

Brandy, all us Obama haters won't be left behind, we'll be voting republican.

i feel bad, that i have to be,repeating myself over and over.it's bin over since super tuesday!!!!.

Go Obama!
Hillary should have BLEW you off the planet months ago if she is so great! Gives me pure pleasure to see 3-Clintons - and their gangs go after a rookie! I love it!

Antoinette, I think "affluent professionals" would know something that a lot is two words, I doubt you're an affluent professional, just the kind of person who thinks they are and, thus, an Obama supporter. No backing to your statements.

Obama will be the nominee and as you can see so many are getting on the train with him. ALL of you Obama haters will get left behind.

Yes we can! Obama 08

I'm not a Clinton supporter, but don't you think "10″ is simply an arbitrary number? Why not 9? 11? 20?

Obama '08

Sure, Hillary is picking up momentum. A fall has momentum, and she's fallen from a 30 point lead weeks ago in PA.

GO Obama!

Mcain will stomp Obama into the ground , he has worse baggage than hillary ,Racisim, shady friends , making snobbing comments againts our bible and guns , domestic terrorist ties , and a ton of friends from many islamic countries , not to mention good old rev GD america , he is way to devisive and plays the race card every chance he gets

I don't see how the Hillbots believe that she will have a chance in 2012 if she does not get it here. She has burned so many bridges (labor, the left, African Americans, Independents, etc.) that she will not have a fighting chance to run again. This was her chance and if she does not get it this time, there are no more chances…ask Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry…you get one bite at the apple before you are told to sit down and shut up! I am hoping she will challenge Harry Reid for Senate Majority Leader because he's a wimp and we need her to throw the kitchen sink at Mitch! And maybe throw the bathroom sink at Nancy…we need some people in Congress with some b*lls! Congress is where all the legislation starts and ends!

Bloggers like "E.C., Houston, TX" are a huge example of the ignorance and hatred in America. It's so sad. There are so other issues going on with you E.C. I won't say it on this blog.

Obama 08

obama is so unfit………….

Has anyone noticed how much more eloquent one has to be now to not look like a fool in these recent Democratic debates, and really in all of them? Just compare that to our intellectually vapid commander-in-chief and his debates against Kerry in '04. How on earth did that guy survive those debates? Man, we've come a long way, at least with Obama and Hillary. It's unfortunate that the moderators of these debates, however, are corrupted into asking inane questions about Weather Underground and pastor preferences and other issues that are relatively meaningless.

Affluent professionals ought to tell you alot about Obama's supporters

We're pretty bright

If Obama wins a caucas in Alaska it's considered a big win, if Hillary wins in PA by whatever margin it is still a win. Obama is such a loser that his backing pundits will claim a victory even if he loses. He outspent Hillary nearly 2 to 1 so if he loses by even a little it counts in my book at least as a loss.

Go Hillary! Go Hillary! GO Hillary!

Obama will never carry these Battleground States in the general election get real people.

Arkansas always for Hillary!

What's wrong with this statement, "Hillary will cry and whine and do everything she can to get Fla. and Mich. results counted in a an attempt to get elected." Oh, I'm sorry Obama supporter, you would rather votes not count? Obama says he's the change candidate but he didn't have balls enough to go against the DNC and register on the ballot in Michigan, he deserves to not get those votes counted toward him.

GO Hillary!!! We all know you are the best candidate. All of the Obama supporters above are just scared. Talk, talk, talk, this is all they can do.

OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS ARE TO IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY. YOU'LL NEVER WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

why is the media so bias against Hillary Clinton

Trench warfare so this is what the media is now calling this smear and fear campaign of Hillary Clinton. If Obama stooped to the level the Clinton’s have to win everyone would say he is a woman hater but since it’s Hillary that’s ok with them, talk about your double standards from the media.
I recall Bill and his down sizing of the military and now Hillary mentioned using nuclear weapons against Iran, now that’s irony. The Clinton’s never had much use for the military and with her statement that’s quit a bit different than Bill’s stand years ago. I didn’t trust Bill years ago and I don’t trust Hillary now and hope that the Clinton’s will retire from politics and fade away quietly and quickly!!

Interestingly to note…. as another poster said Obama will win Montana hands down. Well, Obama has continued to win all the states that are rather useless to the rest of the nation. Go figure, a useless candidate winning the useless states…such as Montana. These useless and meaningless states mean nothing. For those fanatics that stand in lines and in school gymnasiums for hours to vote for a candidate…that right there should tell you something about the configuration of the country.
CLINTON 08

Hillary is going to get drop kicked in NC. Her days of smiling and gloating are very short lived. A record number of first time voters in PA are overwhelmingly for Obama. That's wonderful news.

OBAMA WILL WIN THE NOMINATION AND PRESIDENCY IN '08

Today, I encourage typical white people to vote present….

If you do, for the first time in my adult life, I'll be proud of my country….

Obama/Rezko '08: Change without experience

the news media should report this I am very srong democrat and a delegate and I will cross party lines and vote republican if obama wins the primary so there is noway he can win the whitehouse he needs hills votes and noway he is going to get them, we will all vote mcain at least he loves this country and ALL the people in it , obama is already trying to spin his loss in Pa , he is unelectable report that too divisive not a uniter a divider

cnn please stop having fun with this,cus u know it will all be over in the next two weeks in indiana and north carolina

The numbers say hillary has lost the nomination. She cannot catch up.
The Clintons will try the underhanded backdoor sneaky way to try and get superdelegates. Bill has already said that pledged delegates don't HAVE TO vote for the candidate that they are pledged to. Can you say "disenfranchisement"? Sick.

Go Obama! Just win! It's time for new ways to poll and review old politics!

these divisions is ridiculous, divisive and full of holes. A vote is a vote…what about a white man who is Catholic who votes for Obama…or a black woman who is affluent and university educated who votes for Clinton.

The media has literally LOST IT with their bizarre coverage.

Hillary'08!

Alex in TX - the demographics in NC don't favor Barack Obama…..in November when it counts, like MOST of the other states he's won.

jeremy April 22nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

evelyn,
you are nuts. trust a liar? that just doesn't make sense

***************************************************************
LIAR?? LOL!!! I think you should rewind all of O-Bitter's statements…you know when he says one thing and has his camp do another!

O-Bitter…."Hypocrasy you can beleive in"

We have your back, Hillary!!!!

~~~ GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! ~~~~~

In the beginning I was supporting Hillary Clinton, but then it seems like she lost her mind. Hillary had no respect for Obama and didnt take him or his campaign serious. If she had of been on her game this would have been over already. Clinton please stop doing damage to the party. How can you demean Obama so much and then say 'hey we will unite'. If you had not have been so nasty you could have become the first female vice president, but now I would not want Obama to dirty himself with you, your husband, or your campaign.

AS AN OREGON REPUBLICAN I CANT HELP TO SIT BACK AND WATCH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IMPLODE TALK ABOUT A BUNCH OF WHINY POLITICANS HILLARY AND OBAMA IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SINCE REAGAN KEEP GOING GUYS WE STILL HAVE A WHOLE SUMMER LEFT HECK BY THEN THERE WONT BE ANY DEMOCRATS LEFT {WISHFUL THINKING]

All McCain will have to do is say something that has substance to it and Obama will start drooling and mummer something about hope and the election will be lost.

It is long overdue for all of us to finally stop playing the American Idol game and acknowledge the hypocracy of Obama. He is an empty suit - a nice gift box with nothing inside. He does not offer this country leadership in any tangible sense - he offers words. He offers hope. We don't have time to "hope" for "change." For someone who touts not being a part of the Washington system, his "change" platform is one of the oldest politcal dog-n-pony shows known. This man has no vested interests in the needs of Americans and the betterment of our country, domestically and internationally. He is in this for one thing only - Obama. For the country's sake, please get real and vote for Hillary.

Regardless of what happens tonight, Sen. Clinton will get my vote. If Sen. Clinton does not win, my vote goes to McCain.

I see that some Obamatons (or maybe just one using a lot of names?) posts about how Hillary had a 30 point lead some time ago. Not true. There was some outlier poll in that territory, but otherwise the margin has been 15-20. So she has lost some ground since then, which of course is natural considering that Obama has outspent her 3 to 1 for a couple of weeks… A 10+ victory for Hillary is good for her, and a dissapointment for Obama.

Mrs. Clinton is resilient, I want see her Knok Offf. I am an Obama supporter and I want the race to continue till she knok off from the race without Super Delegates involvements. Soon, she be out of cash….and?

Sadly, the longer this drags out, the more it looks like the people who gave us eight years of "W" are going to find a way to get us 8 years of McBush.

Obama: inspirational, smart, honest …refreshing!
Hillary: Boring, sly, dishonest (misspeaks a lot) …same ol' politics!

Obama will close the deal! If Hillary stops doing John McCain's work for him. She's been helping McCain all along these last 6 weeks, and it's no secret that John and Hillary are not going at it like a couple of pit-bulls like she's done to Obama. No more lies. No more Clintons!

What really worries me is that Hillary will cry and whine and do everything she can to get Fla. and Mich. results counted in a an attempt to get elected.
I do think that it is important for her to stay in the race, at least for the short term. That will give her the opportunity to demonstrate to the voters that an administration with her at the helm will just be more of the same old thing.
And - here's a scary thought for you. Does Hillary and Nancy Pelosi having that much influence over what happens to our country let you sleep well tonight?

go go Hillary Can't wait to see you win in Pennsylvania .
Hillary Clinton 08 get used to it boys

molly,

have you ever read anything about HRC? her background consists of some very shady periods. you should be happy that obama is above the bashing of character.

Guess it's true that BO has the youth votes. Many of the probama comments appear sophomoric if not downright obnoxious. No kind of politically intelligent or insightful analysis.

My guess is that many of you probama bloggers are college kids who thinks by supporting BO in the way you do is an expression of rebellion against the establishment.

Be informed. BO is more of a same-ole politician chicago style than he would like you to know. He blames HRC & media for focusing on side issues & negative campaigns, yet his neg campaign is outspending HRC. Hypocrite!

Just stand behind a tree and watch…. Clinton will secure the nomination. People like her don't go down easily and they make sure they take everyone down around them. Sadly, no matter who wins the nomination…. or even the Presidency…for that matter… will have a direct effect on 80% of the population. I love Clinton, I like Obama and I like McCain. As a democrat, I could possibly vote for any of them in November. While all 3 have their quirks and idiosycnhrosies, Obama won't beat McCain in November. I can't imagine another four years of Republican rule…even though I do like McCain.

James, its not the media's fault that Hillary is being shown in a bad light. Its WHAT SHE IS. They are reporting what they see and hear.

She has no chance at being president nor should she.

Obama , step aside for the Good of the Party.

You offer only steem, anyhow!
America never will become Sosialism, Obama tipe!!!!

Why the media always makes such a generalization that young, affluent, and professional are for Obama. The media never mentions that African americans who vote for Obama are less educated, and with lower income???

Obama supporters would not do a thing if Iran nuked Israel, Obama will never win the general election.

Grif, Evelyn, Susan, Shirley I see alot of you females supporting me and thats good BUT I would like to remind you that Sen. Obama is a decent man, he is a man of integrity and truth. I know I will most likely win Pa but thats all I have left. I threw the kitchen sinks at him and he has stood the test!
I would like to take this opportunity to have you vote for the best candidate ~ one who speaks the TRUTH!

I can't hardly wait until the polls are closed and results show that Obama won! I am a bitter professional, Catholic, Latina living in Los Angeles with friends and family supporting Barack Obama. Not all Catholics are supporting Clinton, not all Latinos are supporting Clinton and definitely not all women are supporting Clinton. We are more than drained seeing her divide our party. We want change and we want it now. My name is Noemi, I voted for Barack Obama, I am part of the Obama Generation and I am powered by Hope.

Obama will tear grandpa monster in Nov… I cant see how he will save himself in a debate with Obama :)… Bush 3rd is getting a free ride as long as dems are done with primary season…he wont last a single debate against Obama…

Grandpa monster is older than plutonium..

I am TRULY amazed that the men of this country are still afraid of women. They wouldn't allow us to vote and they now are afraid that we will have some power over them (the men?). It is so much like the "cults" that have been allowed to exist in this country. Men must dominate - women must be subservient to THEM - no matter who or what they respresent. This country has been dominated by powerful men for so long that they do not know how to allow "freedom for all". They want women to be slaves to them.
Women, please stand up for your rights that everyone has strived for for so many generations.

So do we finally have enough evidence that debates run by major corporations is not in our best interest as a citizenry, or was the other night's Philadephia debacle not enough to convince us?

If Clinton wins today she's won every state that matters for the party and will get more support where it matters. That's why todays win will be a big one.

"Obama can't win over McCain

He has proven he bulks under pressure and questions.

He has proven he is merely words in a speech.

He has proven he Backbone to Stand up.

He has proven he is Unpatriotic and all about race and his church."

Wrong.

The potential outcome is being examined according to what it means for Hillary in isolation. But if Obama trails by 15%, can't we say that shows that he survived all the recent controversy?

It isn't all about whether Hillary is gaining momentum or losing momentum, it's also about the short term impact of some pretty thick mud thrown Obama's way.

I say given all that Obama has been through over the last two weeks, getting within 20% shows he's a survivor and ready to move on to NC and Indiana.

****American****

"United we stand, divided we fall." Please Hillary, let us unite!

That, my friend, is one of the best oxymoron statement.

Hillary = I, I, I and Me
Obama = We, We, We and Us

Evelyn April 22nd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

As a former Pennsylvania, born and raised in Reading - If I still lived there Hillary would have my vote. She is intelligent, experienced, and I TRUST her.
_____________________________________________________

Evelyn,
I don't know where you live but I'm really happy that you only get to vote once. The fact that you said you TRUST her defies the law of reason. Proof that Obama may never win the uneducated voter. When you talk to adults like adults they don't understand. The just want someone to feed them some bull so they feel good.

Obama '08

Pennsylvanians are level headed, practical, good down to earth, salt of the earth, people. That is why Hillary will win Penn.

They know better than to vote for a not even one term senator, a 'done nothin' senator who was so ambitious he couldn't even finish out his senate term and chose to run for Pres. The EGO on that upstart is unbelievable.

He's got a lot of young people fooled, people who are easily fooled anyway by anything new that comes down the pike. And of course he's got overwhelming black support because well, he's black! But that's it. And that can't win in the general election.

Go Hillary!!

Based on what you've shared on air so far, Barack is cutting into several of her base constituencies (Iraq, seniors) and improving with the black voter. Could it be that Obama has won PA?

How can you talk about Hillary loosing momentum? Since when did she gain momentum in the first place. Obama had a seires of 11 wins before we talked about him having momentum and now just because she won texas and Ohio you think she ahd momentum? Obama came to Pen to reduce the gap between them and if she wins by a norrow margin his goal is met.

We already know that Hillary is going to win with all her well oil machinery. Ed and Nutter

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!! she is our only hope to repair what Bush has done not some wet behind the ears junior senetor who admits he hates America!

So what if Obama has cut into her lead. She will still win and it is not indicative of Obama having the ability to beat McCain. He can't. Hillary can. I've said this over and over and over again. If Obama is the nominee come november McCain will be our next president. Some of you are beating on cinderella and we all know she had to leave the dance early. That is whats going to happen if Obama runs against McCain. You watch and see. I promise I won't come on here and say I told you so. You ever going to put anything on that I respond too CNN??

GO HILLARY !!!!
Obama will not win with his radical friends and very questionable background. Hillary will win big in PA, do well in the remaining states, count FL & MI votes - and she wins the popular vote.
Maybe now Obama should step aside for the good of the party!

Nice spin Bill Schneider! Schneider explain to readers how is Hillary gaining momentum after going down from her initial 25% lead in Pennsylvania?

This may have been the dumbest thing I have ever read on CNN. How in the world is she picking up momentum when she has lost 20%-25% of her following in PA? If she doesn't win by a land slide tonight, there is no point in continuing. She needs to win all the remaining states by atleast 65% to catch up in the delegate race. That isn't even going to happen tonight, let alone in the remaining states. And her campaign can't even afford this!! This just sounds like poor judgement on her part. She is fighting a battle she statistically can't win. And why haven't the superdelegates realized that themselves? The country has already spoken for a democratic candidate. I am ready to focus on defeating McCain!!

I'm in PA, just voted for Obama, and I'm a middle-aged white guy NOT in Philly or Pittsburgh. But I think there are just too many socially conservative Democrats in this state for Obama to take it. If he gets within 3-5% it'll be a big, big night for him. It'll be a long night because we'll be waiting for all the counties to come in.

During the Debate George should have never been a Moderator, since he was an Advisor to President Clinton.

George and Charlie Ambushed Obama. Hillary had all the questions in advanced.

The World knew Hillary had the questions because they gave them to her. If George had any Integrity, he should have excused himself.

McCain and the Repugs will bring out the Blue Dress, Impeachment, Disbarment, Bosnia Sniper Fire, The Death of Vince Foster, Bimbo Eruption, Clinton taking money, etc.

Why in the world have all the Clinton enemies such as Hannity ben courting Hillary. Joe in the morning saying he loves Hillary and then telling Rachel, she cannot talk about MCain because he's been around for decades.

Get a clue the Repugs want Hillary because they do not want to seem like racist to the entire World.

CNN and the media in general want to drag this contest all the way to Democratic convention; however, a lot of Americans are getting sick with all the negativity that Hillary is bringing to the table. I would suggest the following to Obama: Leave the Democratic Party to Hillary and run as an independent. Forget the DNC and all the rhetoric. There are enough of us fed up with the Democratic Party and the two party system that we are willing to vote for Obama if he ran as an independent. I would not donate a penny to the Democratic Party if Hillary is the nominee. I would rather another round of Republicans before voting for the selfish, liar, and flip-flopper Hillary.

PS: Clinton News Channel (CNN) Sucks

Well…. I am "clinging" to my religion todayt o pray not because I'm "bitter" but because I have FAITH that GOD will give Hillary a BIG Win today!!!!

No more WIMPS in the White House!!! We need a FIGHTER!!!

Hillary "Rocky" Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From an earlier comment:

"why should hillary quit? why dont obama just go away?"

The answer, dear lady, is because he knows that he must keep up the fight or forever have it on his conscience that he gave it over to those less capable. Not to mention to those who struggle with the language.

You guys are stupid and just trying to be balanced when you say the race would be shifting in her favor. It's mathematically impossible for her to get the nomination no matter what unless super delegates and that would never happen.

Why does being balanced in news media mean lying sometimes?

How can you not like this guy-BO?
He's got game.
He’s not only an exceptional and intelligent 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.
That's it, folks. It's a slam dunk.
This great man will make one of our greatest presidents.
LONG LIVE BARACK OBAMA!! What a WINNER!!!

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

How are all you Obama fans going to feel when he gets beaten by McCain?

Al Gore should have beat Bush, but didn't.
Kerry should have beat Bush, but didn't.

Now, once again, Democrats will pull out another general election defeat if Obama gets the nomination.

Go Hillary!!!!! Never quit!!!!!!!

I am a black female and absolutely refuse to vote Obama. The idea of what Obama represents is what draws crowds. It is attractive. But we're talking about the president of the U.S people. My president whose pastor can't get over the civil rights movement? Hell, he's having a tough time quiting cigarettes! Change? Heck, orange hair is change but I am not going to buy orange hair dye and hope for the best. Neither have experience as president. But I'd rather go with the person who knows what it at least looks like rather than someone whose seen it only in text books! I heard a saying once "stick with the devil you know rather than the one you don't."

Go Hillary!

go Obama

To just catch up with Obama's pledge delegates, Clinton has to win 64-68% for the remaining 10 states. If the winner of more pledge delegates is not the nominee, then why do we waste everyone's time for the primaries & caucuses? Voters who TRUST Clinton don't know what the Clintons are made of, even after their incomes reveals of their work behind the scene for special interests? It can only be explained by the Clintons' talented acting skill : the best swindlers.

Pennsylvanians are handing the election to McCain if they vote for Hillary.

The silent moderates and independents are going to swing over to McCain if Obama gets the nomination. Obama's policies shifting towards a welfare state and curbing free markets are not what the majority of this country wants or needs.

What does Obama stand for? Does any one know? What has he voted? Does any one know? What does his record of voting indicate? Does any one know? Who is Obama other than a person running for office with "change" as his campaign mantra?

In my eyes Hillary represents change with a voting record that indicates to me that she believes what she says she believes in and her work history indicates the same.

For all the other states posting comments….PA will turn out for Hillary and our voices will be heard! Trust me, the way Obama has been courting our vote, he knows this is an important state to win…and it isn't going to happen. I almost felt sorry for the Obama campaing worker that showed up at my door this afternoon…he looked so down, and I was just another door to tell him my vote had already been cast for Hillary.

Obama can't win over McCain

He has proven he bulks under pressure and questions.

He has proven he is merely words in a speech.

He has proven he Backbone to Stand up.

He has proven he is Unpatriotic and all about race and his church.

I am tired of CNN being biased against Clinton. The media has done nothing but show her in a bad light…which is what the media is known for, I guess. I can't imagine CNN (Clinton News Network) changing their name to ONN… you feel me?
And, secondly, it's definitely not fair for CNN to CONSTANTLY say that Obama as attracted the African American population. BELIEVE me, this is not an accurate statement. I am black… and I would never in my life vote for Obama. I never would cast my vote based on the racial background of the candidate. But…that's the difference between being ignorant and rational.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She will still be in the wheelhouse when the USS Clinton is run aground. That is dedication!

Hillary needs to leave town, go home and settle down with Bill. She needs to be content with the decisions she has made since becoming senator and realize that voting for a war that shouldn't be happening will be her downfall. Many of us ladies would love to have a woman in the white house…but not this one. I'll take someone who had perspective and voted against this war over anyone else any day.

I can't wait to see how the votes swing, especially the newly registered voters, and those who switch party affiliation.

She's done in 2 weeks anyway….so win she may, hopefully, by a small margin, let the media have it's field day, but NC and IN are in the bag….the buck stops in 2 weeks…like many of you have pointed out, a win in a state where she is favored by demographics, etc, doesn't spell momentum.

How very sad………….

I'm hoping for an upset victory/surprising turn of events in Obama's favor.
As a former Clinton supporter, I cannot believe their antics and am fed up with the both of them.
We do NOT need a president who rattles sabres she doesn't yet have.
Seems to me that any candidate who touts the "experience," and "unique set of qualifications" she claims she has wouldn't be talking about nuking at all! Every time she opens her mouth, I'm glad I voted for Obama!

I think the biggest question is, why does Barach Obama think he should not be winning PA?

I would think the big states with the same demographics would be easy for him to win if everyone thought he could actually had the credentials to deliver Hope and Change!

Hillary is so high and mighty on health care but won’t even provide health care for her campaign workers.

Her campaign is 10 million in debt.

She lies like there’s no tomorrow.

She blames other people for her own mistakes.

She’s a train wreck waiting to happen!

I think that Pennsylvania will prove to be the moment of truth. Just as noone thought that Hillary would win in New Hampshire after Barack's commanding performance in Iowa, noone, except maybe talk radio hosts in Pennsylvania, and msnbc pundits on the ground in PA, think that Barack has a chance. Well take those 200,000 or so new registered voters, and independents, and so many who are just plain tired of this race, and you have the potential for an upset. 58% of democratic voters polled do not BELIEVE Senator Clinton. How can you vote for someone you don't BELIEVE. Not to mention the fact that the Clinton Campaign is broke, again, and you know what they say about drowning.

This blue-collared white male is voting for Obama.

there is a reason hillary is still in it. there is also a reason she may not win it… because Americans are too stupid to not vote for her!

Correction Bill (Schneider)! Slipping from 30 point lead to a 10 point lead is NOT gaining momentum She WILL have a consolation last win, but it wont even wipe Obamas lead. Then she will ultimately loose much more than her gains here, over there in SC etc.

And Bill Schneider and the rest of the crew at CNN will be supporting Hillary's final days with all the B.S. and gaseous punditry. Whatver will they do when they have to go back to their real jobs? Oh that's right!
They weren't doing their real jobs before all this either, otherwise they wouldn't have joined the Bush administration in the march into war without even questioning or investigating its legitimacy!!!

Obma can't close the deal. Hillary will be our next President. If hew can't win one big state then he is toast. And by the way, he may be slightly ahead but there is no blowout. Keep runnin Hillary.

Hilary please put aside shame and pride. Obama is the better candidate. Hilary is not trustworthy.

*****Evelyn****** I have heard a number of reasons while people would choose to vote for Hillary, but you said you TRUST her. I am sorry to be so blunt, but that just makes you plain stupid.

!OBAMA!

Oh yes she is so intelligent and for the trust you bet…. But I was thinking what's gome happen april 25 in court with Palul vs Clinton… Anybody knows??

I dont understand some people, this is what an election is all about, when the going gets tough you dont just drop out of the race. If you are in line for a big promotion at work and someone else is up for the same thing would you just say, "OH just give it to them Im dropping out I didnt really want it". If you did that you did not have any get up and go in you, you didnt deserve the promotion. If I was running for President and the race was this close I WOULD NOT GIVE UP AT ALL and I would bet that 80% of all Americans would not. If you disagree I think your not telling the truth, we are Americans we THINK we deserve everything.

Hands down - June 3rd primary- Barack Obama will win in Montana..

But as an independent voter- Hillary Clinton will have a very, very diffcult time getting independents to vote for her in the general election.

Hillary's campaign is broke right now- How can she manage a country with severe debt when she can't run her campaign.. Let alone LOUD mouth Bill who can't remember what the heck he says from one minute to the next.

Hillary will start another war (Iram comments) so how can she manage three wars because she doesn't read intelligence reports to stop any war.. She is a false hope for change..

we are doomed just like the innocent people in Iran if Hillary claws her way to the top.

As an Independent - I can not vote for her no matter what the future holds. I don' trust her and she lies straight up to us thining people are ignorant to her claims.

Yes…. We… Can….

Bait and Switch!! The link says "first wave of exit polls arrives" …. so where are the exit polls?

Arghh. Its hard enough being a political junkie, but that was a low blow CNN.

McCain beat Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

An unproductive one-term governor from the liberal north east and a Christian with no appeal to anyone that believes anything remotely close to evolution.

No wonder he won the nomination.

Schneider, this is a ridiculous post and an unwarranted speculation. All a Clinton win will show, double digit or not, is that the Pennsylvania voters were duped and taken in by lies. An informed voter would know that. Look at Bill's shenanigans (another lie today) and tell me that an intelligent voter would still vote for Billary.

Oh my gosh, Obama supporters would let Iran nuke Israel and would do nothing about it??? THat's scary.

The exit polls will suggest that there is a new kind of politics. The politics of changing clothes. We will find out that many voters are homeless people looking for a place to put on a new pair of pants in privacy.

evelyn,

you are nuts. trust a liar? that just doesn't make sense.

If Hillary Clinton wins, its still a win no matter what margin. Obama has out spent her and used every possible way to win voters and if he loses under these circumstances, it will show a weekness that he can't win big and important key states when running against McCain.

Bill, you have no news yet, wait for the polls to come in and then post this article! I feel so, what is the word?, I feel used that I even looked at this , I feel so darn "bitter"
loll
And Bill remember fair and balanced, remember!

HILLARY IS A BETTER CANDIDATE THAN OBAMA..

SHE WILL WIN PENNSYLVANIA WITH MORE THAN 10 POINTS AND WILL REGAIN MOMENTUM….

Enough already! If the primary season runs through June 3, why on earth should there be a nominee before that? Why not let the whole thing run its course? McCain isn't going anywhere. Give him a couple more months to dig himself into a great big hole, then we can have a Democratic nominee who can throw the earth in over him.

If Obama doesn't win Pennsylvania he will have lost all the big states in the country. That is bad news for Democrats in November. Especially considering that the Obamanazis are turning everyone off to their candidate.

Obama should drop out if he doesn't win today.

GO OBAMA….you da man!

I guess all the REAL reporters are on a long vacation! LOL!

Funny how the headline does not say - "O-Bitter, who outspent Clinton 3-1 should drop out if he loses PA"

Money can buy endorsements but sure CAN NOT buy VOTES!!!

GOOO Hillary!!!!!

I love Hillay and she will destroy Obama in PA but in the end she will loose the nomination to Obama due to the early wins before people got to know him, Mr Wright, Mr Ayres, Mr Rezko, and Michelle america is mean Obama
He will loose to McBush in the general
Go Hillary 2012

We are looking at a State that has voters that are much older and are white. They will never pick Obama as President. They would rather watch the Country go down and vote for McCain then to pick change.

The only poll that matters is the final voting results.

Everything else is just conjecture.

Eugene, OR

You know, before this election started I thought I'd be able to support either Hillary or Obama - as long as one of them won. As of now I am COMPLETELY turned off by Hillary's politics. She is deceitful and that smirk of hers drives me crazy. That goes for her advisor, Kiki Maclean as well.

Obama 08

He out spent her 3:1 because he has had money funneled to him by Billionaires and still he cant win. His grossly biased allies in the media have dispirted her contributors yet she remains well ahead.

He has won only left wing party activist attended 'beauty shows' knowns as caucases. She has won primaries which are real elections. She says she is more electable well…. duh.

As everyone knows…..what this country doesn't need is Obama, who is a total incompetent. No wonder he backed out of another debate. The man cannot begin to explain his position, if he has one, nor elaborate on his 'hope' and 'change' campaign. Voters have been asking for months. Yes, the exit polls will show that Obama will NOT become the next President. Thank Goodness!

Go Hillary. To win in this state where you have been outspent almost 3 to 1 would be a remarkable achievement. I love watching Barack pour his money (there must be less business at Starbucks these days) down a rathole. I can't wait to see the look on Cafferty's face tonight when his boy loses.

Clinton was up by almost 30% a month ago. If she wins by less than that, then it means she has LOST momentum not gained.

What kind of math allows you to drop 20 points but be gaining in momentum.

"United we stand, divided we fall." Please Hillary, let us unite!

You can't scare the Voter's.. Too late! most of them have already Voted…

The attention given to this race if far too great, there will be two other primary in two weeks, and she is expected to lose both, this race just goes on and on and on.

Let the chips fall where they may. We need the strongest, most seasoned, most experienced person to weather the storm Bush has created. No greenhorns.

Winners never quit! Take it all the way Hillary!

Clinton 08!

She looks like she's ready to go down on him !

"If she wins Pennsylvania by more than 10 points, which was her margin in neighboring New Jersey and Ohio, we'll know the race is shifting in her favor."
Are you kidding me? All these pundits prove is that they don't know a thing. Allow both candidates to compete on their own terms. A win for Hillary in Pennsylvania is expected and she needs to cut into his lead by a very wide margin to even consider this race ongoing. A shift in race to her favor would be winning the next seven states straight.
I just wish these pundits would stop being schizophrenic.
I can see the headlines now… Hillary regains momentum in PA and then loses in NC. This will be back and forth but the odds and trends are that this is Obama's nomination unless something improper occurs by the superdelegates.

why are the people so naive….. most people are so one sided ….. This woman is nothing but a fake……. let's send her and Mr President back home……

It not over until the fat lady sings!!

Hillary is the one who should be the nominee - but if that is not in the cards - John McCain will be President.

Either way Obama supporters - be prepared to hear "I told you so"!!!

Don't Trust them. All they shows is that tridelism is alive and well in this great country.

As a former Pennsylvania, born and raised in Reading - If I still lived there Hillary would have my vote. She is intelligent, experienced, and I TRUST her.

Why is everyone so sure John McCain is such a great candidate. This is like what his third time running obviously there was something about this man that Republicans did not like because in one of those times he would have come close atleast. The reality of it is this race is going to go on no matter what happens. I don't think that most rational people will go against everything they stand for because their candidate did not get the nominee and if that is the case then whatever we get as citizens we deserve it.

Weathervane McCain is offering 4 more years of Bush's policies. EITHER Hillary or Barak would be better. Give me Hillary OR give me Barak, but give me a Dem in the White House

She'll be able to continue using loans, loans she probably won't ever pay back.

This lady is like a nightmare that will not go away.

The night of the living dead

Barack will win by double digits in PA. It's past due for her to go away.

GO HILLARY GO! By double digits!
Real people, not pundits, vote for Hillary.

BILL YOU ARE AROUND OUR AGE, BUT YOU JUST CAN'T

LET GO OF THE OLD WAY AND NOT SO SMART WAY.

WE WILL BE PROUD TO INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR

NEXT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.

I sincerely hope this guy isn't getting paid too much to tell us the obvious. Can we have some deep analysis here? Jeez, I could give this summary in my sleep.

The Exit Poll's, will Show… Exit, Stage Left.. Obama…

I find it interesting that she's saying "a win is a win" in PA but somehow that doesn't apply to all the states that Obama has won because they're "small" or unimportant in some other way according to Clinton's campaign.She can't have it both ways…her campaign is increasingly creative as time goes on about what defines the front runner in this race…and when one definition doesn't work, they have another one ready!

There was no vote weeks ago. Such previous polls are just guestimates. The only one that actually measures accurately is on voting day at the booth.

I love how all these unemployed shut-ins already know what the exit polls will tell us LMAO

Time to consider a VP position HRC….

Obama will win. In just few weeks he closed the gap!

cnn is trying it's best to extend this campaign.

not sure how winning a state that you once had a 30 point lead in is taking momentum?????

NC is going to be a landslide and IN is going to be in favor of Obama. Maybe then she will drop out. If her creditors don't get her first.

Tell us somethign we don't know. WOW. You been holding this in all day?
