CNN

Thats the difference between the two candidates . Sen. Obama seems to look at states he's not suppose to win as a challange, and campaigns as if his life depends on it. Sen. Clinton looks at a state she not suppose to win and gives up as if the state dont count. Thats not a fighter thats a coward thats already beaten before the fight begains. She really thinks North Carolina is not that important and will not campaign there but she wants to have a debate so she can talk about insignificant things that were discussed months ago. Hillary you want get the chance to do it this time.

Remy –

14. Let's not forget the campaign fraud hearing on Friday, April 25. Why hasn't this made bigger news?
15. She brought peace to Northern Ireland – Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province called her claims a "wee bit silly" according to an article in Telegraph.co.uk
16. Bosnia LIE and subsequent jokes about it.
17. She was quoted in 1995 as saying - screw 'em – they haven't done anything for you Bill, so you don't have to do anything for them – she was speaking about southern white workers at a meeting at Camp David.
18. We worry about John McCain keeping us at war for an indefinite amount of time, but she went on Good Morning America yesterday and claimed that we will retaliate with a nuclear response if Iran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons. She went on to say that we have the ability to "obliterate" Iran if this happens.

Who is more dangerous to America's future? I think HiLlARy is!

NC is a great place, born & raised. One think about Carolinians we call it like it is. If it quacks like a duck , it is. If it lies like a liar, it is. If it loses like a loser, it is. Hillary is all of the above & then some. I hope that NC drives a silver stake through the heart of her negative, self destructive, devisive, terribly disorganized campaign.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!!

The democrats give great concern to the white blue collar workers, they must also realize that their base is also heavy african american. If Barack Obama get jilted by super delegates, democrats risk this constituency staying home or crossing over.

I just got a look at those sorry ads running in North Carolina and attributed to the Republican Party. If reporter's were doing their job they would find Hillary's campaign behind those ads. The Republicans have no stake in this race, their candidate has already been choosen.

Of course Obama will win in North Carolina...look at the percentage of Afro Americans that live there. He's winning in a lot of states mainly because of the black population who are voting on race and not on issues. And why is it you keep bringing up Bill Clinton...he's not running for office. You need to take a look at her nastiness Michelle and listen to her comments and to Obama who talks and says nothing.

Ernest, I happen to be a clinton supporter and your comments make me sick. and you wonder why we won't vote for obama. he, like his supporters think they are better than every1 that doesn't support him(eletist) . If you want to compare smarts....we clinton supporters are too SMART to fall for a few words and a preaching style technic. "change" what and `how.....Hope for what and why.....you idiots are falling for a salesman....so who is really the smart ppl here....stick that in your paper pipe and smoke it......
hillary or mccain 08

Democrats wont unite over Obama. even he is too far left to get a majority of democratic support...

Oh, Hillary....
Time to pack it in......You don't have a chance..
GO BARAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Hillary....
Time to pack it in......You don't have a chance..
GO BARAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary has made it clear she hates Republicans, and gets it back in return mostly. Still, she is a better choice than B.O. who is coming across as an elitist racist, demeanor of ordinary suburban people, sider with Farrakhan and hateful religious beliefs, despiser of traditions, abaser of the American seniors - and he has backers who trust him???? Who are those people, anyway???

North Carolinas are too smart and educated to believe in the "kitchen sink' stories of Senator Clinton. Her supporters are old, uneducated, trailer trash and hillbilly racists. She is correct, her position is in the kitchen where she will continue to take the heat. She is nothing but Elvira-mistress of the dark.

This race is over with! Pack up your toys Hillary!

Obama has won more states – and more votes! Prior to Hillary winning Ohio – Obama had 10-wins!

Hillary needed to win the state of Penn by 64%! And – for the rest of this race – she needs to win by 68%!

Not only does she needs to win BIG -- she is OUT of money!

Welcome President Obama!

My concern about Hillary's potential success is the near certainty that her husband, Bill, will once again fillander with aids and others in the White House. HIS recidavist sexual behavior–not her lack of fluffy charm–will dramatically underscore the hypocracy acceptable in American leadership.
For better or worse, she is saddled with a glib bad boy, and
in an interconnected world that esteems integrity, can we afford this ?
JRW

I would like to see Obama explain his campaign in the way he really feels about America...Either we all go together, or we don't go.

Hillary's divide and conquer stuff does not include us all. She is mean spirited and selfish about getting this position. She acts like it is a personal victory she needs, not a national victory that we need.

I truly believe that Obama can wax McCain honorably. I'm pretty sure Hillary will lose the general election if she is nominated, because we will just see more of what are already sick of and the Republicans will mop the floor with her. Just my opinion

I predict Obama will sweep North Carolina, leaving Hillary in the dust. And so on to Indiana and the rest of the states left.

Obama is the only choice to lead our country. Enough of "Washington politics". Send the Clintons back to Arkansas.

Yes we can!!

She will not win here in NC. If she does I will be very angry. She is not deserving of a NC victory. There are too many blacks that support Obama for unity for the country. She is only out for what she can do for herself. She can not just waltz up in her in and think she can woo the people here. NOT. will not happen. He will win here. By they way I just finished a listineng to a speech here in Jacksonville NC and she will not win here.

She can stand tall – she can drag this out like an ugly bar fight – but the facts are that Obama could A) Win Indiana and B) Win North Carolina – if he does, I can't wait to hear what's next for Clinton – i'm sure she'll be pulling all kinds of stuff up and begging the super delegates – look – she'd have to win the remaining states by nearly a 30 point difference to even touch his popular vote, but that doesn't really matter anymore, right? Clinton is basically saying your vote doesn't count, as the Super Delegates should pick her no matter the popular vote, no matter states won, no matter the delegate count!

Wake up people!

Bill will play the Race card again so that the racist will be stirred enough to vote in droves.

I think that as time goes on we are seeing the real Barak and we should. He is very evasive and I don't trust him because I don't know where he stands on many of the issues he claims he is concentrating on. Hillary is very detailed and I like that. I think she can cross party lines and work together. I also thin that Obama's camp is wrong we are not a country divided, most Americans agree that we are tired of the Bush administration, the economy( we aren't slowing we are at a hault.), health care and so on. Stop preaching unity and start talking issues. We don't want a preacher in the office we want a President.
Hillary 08
YES SHE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let CNN Bash you all they want, your going to win..

HILLARY CAN DO MUCH BETTER IN NORTH CAROLINA THAN WHAT POLLS ARE SHOWING NOW:......

If 90% african americans are voting for Obama then she has to talk to them and convince them...

If 60% of young voters are voting for Obama then she has to speak their language..

IF SHE WANTS TO BE THE PRESIDENT SHE HAS TO DO THE WORK....

NORTH CAROLINA IS A REAL CHALLENGE ...

BEST OF LUCK HILLARY....

-Hillary 08.

Right on, Send her home! And I believe someone wrote on the CNN blog not long ago, "we may know about Hillary's baggage, but we don't know about the junk in her trunk!" And......isn't she suppose to go on trial soon for breaking some laws regarding her last senate campaign? Why are we not hearing about that??????

She will lose in North Carolina and the Supers will come out for Obama. Let the real games begin with the Republicans.

Sorry NC is NOT representative of the US general...

I really hope the people of NC would wake up and see that Obama really has nothing to offer America. He talks about "change' himself really doesn't know how to achieve. He's just and empty guy ejoying the benefit of being from the minority (Blacks). He's not ready to be C-in-C of the greatest nation on earth, pls NC lets stop this Barrack Husein Obama from talking his way through (empty-headed) to the white house...America Wake up!

43 mayors and former mayors in NC endorse Obama. This is crucial, we could see how much help Clinton got from important endorsements in PA. Obama has enormous suppoert among important people in NC, including former Edwards supports and now these mayors and former mayors. I would not be surprised if som NC superdelegates endorse soon as well. Clinton need to win in NC or come close, if she looses with more than 5-6% she is done.

Clinton only netted 10 delegates from PA, if Obama wins NC big he is likely to have a larger lead than before PA.

Hillary should enjoy her victory in PA. In NC, Barack will turn the tables. Obviously, NC does not have as many delegates as PA, but every one he gains over her puts a nail in the coffin of her candidacy.
What I'd really like to see are some polling results in IN. No one seems to be talking about IN. That is where we will get a flavor of the direction the campaign is taking. Obama took IL. Clinton took OH. IN is in between. Which way will it go?

America in 08

Please end the madness!

Let the dogs out North Carolina, (Vick turn the dogs loose).
She will be angry and very bitter next month after her big lost in N.C.
I wonder if she still suffer from PMS. She is such a roller coaster.

its amazing she is still around. I am truly disappointed in my state ( PA) for voting for this mad woman. She manipulative and dishonest. What comes out of her mouth depends on what audience she is addressing. She is constantly contradicting herself and being negative. If i didn't know any better, I'd think Hillary were the Republican nominee and this primary is really the November election. Who needs Republicans to bring us Democrats down when we have Hillary.

thanks Hillary..

--very disappointed voter.

Hi North Carolina & Indiana voters be vigilant for the May 6 polls. Indiana & North Carolina Democratic states chairmen, and all those in-charge of the polling booths, ballot papers, and areas where voting machines will be used, must ensure that the machines are working at their very best and technicians must be present to repair them should they break down. This time round there mustn't be any "political arm-twisting disenfranchisement" as it occurred in Ohio & recently Pennslyvania.
Be vigilant, 'cos somebody is desperate and talking about winning popular votes. Lying doesn't make it right!!
Go Obama ..08 & 12

Sen. Clinton didn't get her double digit win, a win is 50% plus 1 correct.
9.2% isn't 10.
A win is a win.
A lose is a lose. and 9.2 is 9.2 period.

Sen. Clinton faces uphill battle in North Carolina, well welcome to Sen. Obama world this round.

Her 'WIN' in PA was not that big actually 9 points or 10.
She really needed 18 – 25 for it to be called a 'big' win!
This is the reason why Nutter said a win is a win (meaning even if its not a big win).
Lets talk after May 6th. These are not 'old politics' folks and unlike Pa these folks in IN and NC are smart and educated and has had enough of Hillary's LIES!

Hillary's dreaming again if she thinks she can take NC.

Stand tall & strong Senator Clinton!

Go Hillary!!!!

I remember the Clintons years. Full of Peace and Prosperity. So I am not sure what you are getting at there – "Send her Home to NY" what didn't you like about the Clinton years? The Peace or the Prosperity?

To Send Her Home to NY: the party has already been brought down, and not by Hillary! The Michigan and Florida debacle has done the party in! And for your information, as Senator, Hillary has worked quite well with fellow Democrats AND Republicans.

She started with a lead of almost 20 points. But her final margin was 9.2% period. CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC Just state the facts please, you have them!

This was no blowout.

All those White Americans really help her in Penn.
.
All those African Americans really help Sen. Obama in Penn..

Clinton faces uphill battle in North Carolina, welcome to Obamas world.

9.2% in Sen Hillary play ground not bad . Lets see how she does in NC.

Obama Supporters Lets continue to give of our time and money.

Sen. Obama 08

Personally I don't think Obama can win. Besides the baggage of elitists and Rev. Wright....... he can't think on his feet. He claims he has debated enough but even his supporters agree he falls flat when questioned. (Actually 4 debates one on one with Sen. Clinton and not the twenty something he suggests.)
He might be able to run away from debates now in the primary but he won't be able to hide as president of the United States. There will never be enough time for him to memorize a speech when dealing with foreign affairs even if he can put our economical problems on someone else. Hillary Clinton can do it. No matter what is thrown at her she lands on her feet. That's what has to go up against McCain and every other political situation we find ourselves in. North Carolina needs to get away from the message of a black candidate vs a women and vote for the one who is strong enough and can win and remember that in time beauty and empty words, fade.

Iused tobe hillary supporter till abc debate.now she became a real
nasty politician with very bad smear tactics.so be it.i will not vote her ny more.i am sure she will be out may 7th.

I think both are excellent candidates and we need to supoort whichever one takes the nomination, which probably will be Obama.
If he racks up a big win in N.C., there will be the ususal spin by Hillary ,but I think it will start to seal the deal. Obama has persevered through a real contentious campaign and I think has been overlooked in terms of his strength and ability to deal with the adverse issues he has faced. He took a real beating over the last debate which I believe was only partly deserved. Still, he will take the high road going forward and I think it will propell him to take NC and IND and probably the nomination thereafter.

Amen. You have said it all NY.

And the hill is Everest!!!

Senator Obama, NC is here and welcomes you. We will not let you down. Yes we can!!!! We, unlike the DNC are not afraid of the Clintons. Her temporary high will drop quicker that her sniper fire story.

Obama 08/12

Obama will deliver the knockout punch with a victory in Inidana and North Carolina. Obama '08

not everyone in n.c. is supporting obama .clinton will be in the running so dont count her out.she is good and being the underdog is nothing new and she usually does well when her back is against the wall.
she will come out swinging

Yes !!! the wicked witch of the "East Coast " is dead.....go home "old" women...we need new blood.

The only reason Hillary is where she is in this race is because of her husband the President. If she were not his wife she would have been out months ago. I've heard too many people say that if Hillary wins, Bill will be running things behind the scenes. For some especially older voters thats why shes so popular.

A vote for Obama is a wasted vote since he cannot win the General Election. Rather it is a vote for McCain!

Clinton is fighting a no win war. Her campaign is much like the war in Iraq. She won't admit she can't win and is prepared to keep throwing resources into it so she won't be labled a looser. Dosn't this sound familar? If she won't admit mistakes, the Iraq vote, the Iran vote, and the fact she has lost this campaign how on god's earth can we trust her with the lives of our children and our future. She lies to us, attempts to manipulate us with deceit and fear all, is able to build a fortune of $100 million as a public servant, takes money from anyone who will give it and thanks screw those who stand in her way. All of this sounds like, Nixon, George W, Chaney, Rove, and Rumsfield. Is this what we wan't in a president? Haven't we suffered enough?

Does 90 plus % of African-Americans support Obama for the positions of his platform or is this like a racial thing.

The Clintonistas will say that any state with black people doesn't really matter.

You better watch out, though, because black Americans in Ohio, Michigan and Florida may stay home in November, which would erase any chance of victory for the Democrats.

Let’s just see if Lying Hillary can do what Obama did in Pennsylvania. Keep in mind, in PA Hillary was up by at least 20 points and that state was tailored made for Hillary. She has less than two weeks to lie and try to come up with something on Obama. However, the people of North Carolina ain't buying the lies the Clintons are selling, nor is Indiana. This race is over and has been over since Texas.

So now Hillary is counting popular votes from MI & FL. She may as well "count" all the votes from illegal aliens and those living in foreign countries too!
What a crock!
Clearly rules mean nothing to this woman who will bend/break/shatter the truth just to get elected. Good grief!

I am sure she will come up with some metric that will 'prove' that she will have won there as well – Maybe even in advance!

I am so tired of hearing how Hillary wins the important states and the 30 states that Obama already won, and his inevitable win in NC don't really matter. The last I checked there were 50 states, DC and territories that ALL make up the United States of America.

I am also tired of hearing how tough she is....her claims that Obama is not tough are unfounded and untrue. Is it so, just because she says.

I am also tired of hearing Clinton spout off that she can win in November...once again, are we to believe it is so, just because she says so.

And, finally, yes I am sorry for beating a dead horse, but I am tired of hearing how lying about sniper fire was brought on by fatigue....I am tired after a long flight, a long run, a long workout, or a long argument about politics with my friends, but never once was I so tired that I thought I was under sniper fire.

A vote for Obama is a vote to end politics as usual and the run of BushClintonBushClinton.......

Thank you for your time!

C'mon South Carolina, finish this one.

I can't wait to hear what "Foot In Mouth" Bill has to say in the next two weeks in North Carolina, or what new lie Hillary gets caught telling. Bye, bye Clintons.

The Clinton campaign is now saying that Barack Obama "can't close the deal". That's funny! Wasn't Clinton supposed to close the deal on Super Tuesday, wasn't she the frontrunner…the inevitable Dem candidate?

POST IT!

The Clintons both HIllary and Bill have polarized the democratic base. The Peter Paul fraud trial will be starting soon. If people thought that Rev. Wright was a problem. Peter Paul is a bigger problem and the GOP will enjoy using that trial in the general election.

When does the media start reporting that , instead of flag pins, and bitter remarks. Isn't the honesty of both candidates important or just sound bites? What about breakling the law? What about the filing of false reports regarding campaign funding? What about accountability? I will not vote for HIllary under any circumstance, I will vote for McCain. I did not have these negative feelings prior to this campaign. I have them now and I will not change my mind for the general election. Thanks for the Negatives and lies, Senator Clinton you have lost my Democratic vote. We will not come together in the fall thanks to you. Oh by the the way I am African American, a woman, educated and disappointed in your campaign. But you don't need my vote? Go McCain if HIllary is the nominee

The Clinton campaign is now saying that Barack Obama "can't close the deal". That's funny! Wasn't Clinton supposed to close the deal on Super Tuesday, wasn't she the frontrunner…the inevitable Dem candidate?

Clinton has had many up hill battles, but has always kept on fighting.

I think the ad the republicans are running against Obama in
Carolina is really going to hurt him. There are alot of very religious
people there,

The fact that Obama sat for 20 years listening to Rev. Wright,
admitt it or not there is NO WAY he didn't hear some of Wrights
anti American remarks.

CNN never prints my comments, hopefully they will this time

I was born and raised in North Carolina and I am wholeheartly for
the winner HILLARY CLINTON.

Of Course he will get the young Black Vote because he preaches
well. But thats what he sounds like. Hopefully N C will see the LIGHT.

I pray that NC will put this to bed.

YOU CANNOT COME CLOSE HILLARY. YOU HAD YOUR BASE, ITS TIME FOR US TO. NOW THAT YOU ARE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE WITH YOUR NEGATIVITY, NORTH CAROLINAS WILL NOT UPHOLD SUCH BEHAVIOR. GET READY TO PACK YOUR BELONGINGS.

The Clinton campaign is now saying that Barack Obama "can't close the deal". That's funny! Wasn't Clinton supposed to close the deal on Super Tuesday, wasn't she the frontrunner...the inevitable Dem candidate?

What I want to know is why does the media now say that HRC has a problem courting African Americans and educated democrats., They keep on harping on the fact that Obama cant win amongst white blue collar workers, Well she isnt make any in roads either

Yeah, Come on N.C., ALL OF US HERE IN THE WEST ARE COUNTING ON YOU!

Come on N.C., ALL OF US HERE IN THE WEST IS COUNTING ON YOU!

It will be interesting to see how she handles Obama's 15-25% lead, in light of how she handled her own 20-30% lead in Pennsylvania.

… if she can't reverse it, she's going to lose delegates over what she gained in Pennsylvania.

I agree

People should Google "Jerry Zeifman" to help them decide and CNN should do a piece on him. He states he fired Hillary Rodham for unethical practices. Too much smoke not to have fire.

Why would I wan't to send a message? Still I hope the Women of the USA, don't let this, first time ever; escape so easily...

.
The math is against Hillary in EVERY way that counts.
I was in support of ol' Hill ,but we need to win the white house back and she has gotten to nasty,and desperate.
The N.C governor made it clear that his people in North Carolina saw all of the negativity in the Clinton campaign and some from Obama in Pennsylvania and he says that he doesn't want that in his state.
Well I know Obama will change his tune, but my friends Hillary and Bill
will just not play fair so I wonder why she will have an uphill battle.

On another level my husband and I have been in the Marine Corps for 19 years,and we are stationed in Camp Lejeune ,North Carolina, and we both remember the days of Bill Clinton as Commander and Chief ,and guess what we don't want him nor Hillary back.
Semper Fi

I am certain she will continue up the hill. She is not going to stop. She is just that selfish!

I don't pretend to be able to predict what the NC result will be but no one else should either. People should take note that the undecided segment in all the serious polls is much greater than the difference between the two candidates.

I'm excited that for once in my life, my primary vote might matter. I and all other North Carolinians I have talked to (both for Obama and for Clinton as well as undecideds) resent efforts by media pundits and people in other states to force an early end to this nominating process.

New voter registration and party reaffiliation are skyrocketing. Go Democrats.

Rural white voters that have had their small towns destroyed by NAFTA in NC don't have alot of love for the the Clintons. Especially, where the textile industry was strong.

Well what do you expect when 90% or more of the African-American will only vote for Obama.

Her only chance in a state like that is for the majority of white, asian, and latinos to come out in full support of H.R. Clinton..

One thing for sure, the black can never accuse anyone of ever being racist, when they have proven they are in spades...

And this hasn't been lost to Republicans who have launced their own ads against Obama in North Carolina. This proves that irrespective of Clintonian rants, GOP sees Omaba has serious threat to McCain and will do their utmost to prop up Hillary who with all her baggage is perceived as an easy target to beat. Ironically, this logic seems to have been lost on these democractic super delegates who if McCain wins in November, will go down in history as super idiots because of their inaction and for allowing Hillary to suicide bomb the whole party.

mr. obama victories are due to his being honest and not talking down to the voters.
get honest cnn big symbolic victory. hillary was ahead at one time by 20 plus points and she only won by 9.2 points

Sen. Clinton claims that since she won the big states against Sen. Obama, so he cannot win those states in November. Does it make any sense to you?

Sen. Clinton won those 'BIG' states against a Democratic Candidate Sen. Obama. It's not like that that Sen. Clinton won those states against a Republican candidate and Sen. Obama lost against the same candidate. Eventually, majority of the voters, who voted in the Democratic primary, will vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election.

So, what is basis of Sen. Clinton's claim that since she won the big states, she is more electable?

Billary has absolutely NO chance in the state of North Carolina. We are smart enough to see through the lies...

North Carolina for Obama!

I know she is because North Carolina know that she is a liar. She lied about Bosnia so what makes anybody think she's telling them the truth. It's been 15 years she's been promising healthcare. Why couldn't she get it done?

Interesting... So, Clinton did not win Pennsylvania by 10? Actually was 9.3?

NC is loaded with young, educated white voters. It is also 40% African American. Hillary , with no old, uneducated (Hillary's only supporters) voters to fall back on, will be crushed here.

=She lies, steals the votes, cries...what ever it takes....
....shame on her =

Hillary has an uphill battle because she remains disingenuous. The latest example is her claim that she is winning the popular vote by counting Michigan. I'm from MIchigan. I voted in the democratic primary. At the polling place, Obama's name was not on the ballot, and furthermore I was told that if I wrote his name in that my ballot wouldn't even be counted. Consequently, I voted uncommitted. Clinton's twisting of the facts is unconscionable. This is why I feel that Senator Clinton is ultimately nothing more than an experienced liar, as is her husband. I do not want a President that knowingly makes misleading statements for personal gain. An individual that lacks a sense of fair play will be totally ineffective in working in a bipartisan way.

She face a up hill batte all states

Time to pack this up

CNN’s commentary is that the Clintons will face an uphill battle in North Carolina due to race. The realists and sophists will say CNN is right. We believe CNN is wrong. We believe any candidate who speaks with a clintongue/fork tongue will have an uphill battle in North Carolina. We also believe it would become an even greater uphill battle were the candidates to air themselves under a mutually agreed upon polygraph test. Forget all of the debates and advertisements. Let’s go beyond the images and move closer to seeing what is really on the politicians' minds. Let's see the candidates put their money where their mouths are for a job that's 24-7, demands the best, and affects the lives and wellbeing of all of us. There are those who question polygraphs–let the voters decide.

We believe the polygraph test should trump the debate watch and prove once and for all why a clintongues climb should be insurmountable.

A polygraph would doubtless taint the Clinton's image and would likely For this reason alone, the Clintons' image of so called experience is compromised and their ability to be elected will remain uphill, in not insurmountable..

NORTH CAROLINA IS THE TENTH LARGEST STATE IN USA WILL OBAMA GET CREDIT FOR WINNING A LARGE STATE?OR DONT MATTER BECAUSE IT HAS A LARGE POPULATION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND UPSCALE WHITES.

WONDER WHAT HILL WILL SAY.

GO OBAMA 08

Most North Carolinians get nauseous at the name of "Clinton"-any Clinton. Obama is very popular here.

She never runs away from an uphill battle....she takes it as a challenge She works very hard.

Every day I am more and more disgusted by the Clintons whom I once adored. I can't believe this self-obsessed woman would stoop to racially dividing the democratic party, possibly doing damage that would last for years to come, just to continue a fight SHE CANT WIN fairly. She can't overtake Obama's delegate lead. The only way she can win is if the superdelegates give the the nomination to her. I really don't think people understand that this would all but guarantee a McCain victory in the fall. It amazes me that so many people don't realize how crucial the African American vote is to the democrats. They can't win in Nov. without it. That is the reality whether people like it or not. And if they believe that African Americans will vote for Hillary if they think Obama has been robbed of the nomination, then they are more delusional than Hillary Clinton is. She will be forced to put him on the ticket just to have a shot at winning.

It is time for this farce to end. The superdelegates must end this NOW and send Billary packing for the good of the country. And I am sure when Obama wins NC in a landslide, she will dismiss it and say (through surrogates of course) that he only won because of the black vote. Wake up people. $109 Million dollar Hillary is a user and she doesn't care about you, your uninsured mother, your unemployed husband or anyone else. Hillary only cares about Hillary.

Yea Yea Yea We gonna put dis baby to REST!!!
We dont play that mess roun here!!
After May 6th its a RAP!!! Done deal!! Fat Lady singin a song!!!
HilBAG FatBut you goin back to NY!

Knock it out the box O!

Because we're smarter than OH and PA have been recently. NAFTA has killed this state and we see through the Clinton lies about it.

SURRENDER DOROTHY!

Obama '08

Yea Yea Yea We gonna put dis baby to REST!!!
We dont play that mess roun hear!!
After May 6th its a RAP!!!
HilBAG FatBut you goin back to NY!

Knock it out the box O!

Why can't she close the deal in N.C.?

I don't think she can stand the HEAT in the kitchen!

Whatever the media wants you to believe, 90% of blacks are voting for Obama, which means they are not voting for Clinton. Any state that has a high black population will necessarily go to Obama.

Since this is breaking along racial lines, how is Obama bringing people together?

You know what? Miracles still happen and I'm praying for Hillary every day all day that she will trounce old BO soundly in North Carolina like she did in PA.

The Blacks, etc that reside in North Carolina who are not supposed to be supporting her will get an education after they hear all the plans she has for them. They will then realize that Hillary has the real solutions for their problems and is not just offering false hope like their man Obama.

The spoils of Pennsylvania have been vanishing from the very next day after that primary with several new Super delegate endorsing Obama. Thanks to Clinton for her numerous negative attacks on Obama which says much about her.

Obama will undoubtedly continue to make inroads into her base of supporters.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!

So I take it this is one of those states where it doesn't matter who wins – not like the important states that Hillary has won. I wonder if Obama wins the state by 8 or 9 points if the media will report it as double digits?

Hillary, you are going to lose NC in a big way, Why? Because there are less Uneducated Red Necks and less 65+ year old Racist Bigots, this is not PA my friend!

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

The two Democratic candidates are so close - why won't HE drop out? He is hurting the party by staying in. Who wants him anyway with his contacts to the Weather Underground? CHANGE? HA! The Weather Underground was THIRTY years ago and HE hasn't managed to move on?

That's an understatement! She faces an uphill battle for the Democratic nomination as well.
Nothing new.....

The math is against Hillary in EVERY way that counts.
I was in support of ol' Hill ,but we need to win the white house back and she has gotten to nasty,and desperate.
The N.C governor made it clear that his people in North Carolina saw all of the negativity in the Clinton campaign and some from Obama in Pennsylvania and he says that he doesn't want that in his state.
Well I know Obama will change his tune, but my friends Hillary and Bill
will just not play fair so I wonder why she will have an uphill battle.

On another level my husband and I have been in the Marine Corps for 19 years,and we are stationed in Camp Lejeune ,North Carolina, and we both remember the days of Bill Clinton as Commander and Chief ,and guess what we don't want him nor Hillary back.
Semper Fi

She has "dropped her candy in the sand" with African American voters. I couldn't be lucky enought to have one of her supporters try to solicit my vote. African Americans KNOW WHO SHE REALLY IS.

A lying, cheating do anything, say anything no play is too luw MONSTER. I have heard from many...if she steals this nomination by breaking the rules...they're finished with the Dem Party...period.

Superdelegates need to really look to the rules and stick to the rules.
otherwisw the Whitehouse won't be the only Democratic seat lost.

Hillary and the news media have not been able to find any dirt on Senator Obama so they have proceeded to look beyond him to people 'he knows' and even sat in his church looking for something to hang on him. A 5 year old could see the insanity in this kind of character transference. Reporter's have printed Hillary's lie that it is Obama who won't count Florida and Michigan so often that some people believe it, print the truth. Hillary agreed with the DNC to exclude
Florida and Michigan until she fell behind, Hillary did not win Florida and Michigan. She was the only candidate on the ballot. This is not reporting, it's sleeze to be expected of Hillary but not the news media.

The good people of North Carolina have a chance to send a strong message to Hillary, the message being it's time for us to unite behind the strongest candidate, and that candidate is Senator Obama! Does anyone out there really believe that Republicans would cross party lines to work with her if she were elected? Doesn't anyone remember the Clinton years? If she becomes president, we would be right where we are now-moving nowhere, locked in gridlock. Obama is the only candidate who has a chance to move this country forward. Hillary's campaign of fear and smear has to be stopped before she brings down the entire party.

With 115 Delegates up for grabs why is NC not considered an important win for Obama. I bet he will net more than her 10 in PA.

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its okey..we are ready to prove it to you{mr. clinton} on the 6th that its time u stepped aside.Go Barack.

It will be interesting to see if Clinton's inevitable loss in North Carolina is painted similarly to Obama's inevitable loss in Pennsylvania. He was expected to make inroads – it doesn't appear that she is. Why is that?

Well let us see after NC how Ms. clinton does in Mr. Obama's backyard. He managed to cut a 33% (or 25% depending on which polls you choose) lead down to LESS THAN 10% (9% actually) in a state taylor made for her. She argues that because he did not win he is unelectable. Now the onus is on her Mr. Obama has a ~30% lead in NC, a state taylor made for him, if she is "more electable" than him she shoulc be able to cut his lead there down to something less than 9% if she cannot do that it only shows that he is more electable. Another consideration the total delegates between NC and IN are greater than PA so if he gains more than the 9 (12 only on the Clinton News Network, of course they are still saying he outspent her 3:1 and she won by over 10% when the reality is he outspent her by a 2:1 margin and she won by <10%) she picked up in PA he iss the net winner. A final point a recent poll in CA said that if the selection were held TODAY instead of when it was held in CA that Mr. Obama would win by a 5% margin... so maybe he CAN carry the states once they actually hear his message.

Why could'nt she face an uphill battle in PA, oh that's right, all the old scared white people live in PA, no wonder. Why don't you grow a sack, that is Ball sack and vote for the right canidate.. I know CNN, you wont post it, but I had to vent.

So, can Obama be like Clinton and decide how important NC is and say, if she loses that state she is out?

I mean, she gets to pick and choose what states are important, like Ohio, Texas (even though obama got more delegates) and PA...states that naturally favor clinton.

If Clinton loses either IN or NC, or BOTH, she should step out of the race, becuase clearly the voters have spoken, right?
(thats her claim after every victory, that the voters have spoken)

bitter, party of 1 – and not offended, because its reality

Hillary checks out the math!!!

They are 408 delegates left for grab... you have 1586, you know, and you need 2025 to win. So, even if you win all of them you can't make it.
you will still be short you know.

Now Senator Obama has about 1750, you know, he does not need too many to win, so he needs about 250 of the 408 and he wins. So Hillary, it is time to stop the charade and you know it.

Geezzz and this is a surprise why? I mean Sen. Clinton HAS been on a uphill battle since this race started. It's funny because she has behaved like she was entitled to the nomination from the start and now realizes that she may actually NOT be the nominee. Wow... funny that huh?

Why is this NEWS is beyond me. When you are in second place....it's always an UPHILL battle. Go figure.

Hillary will lose big in NC....no need to even show her face in NC.

This country better not rape Obama of this nomination. He has fought long and hard and he deserves to be the nominee. I will not ever vote another day as long as I live if Obama is leading in delegates and somehow loses this race.

Barak should be ashamed of himself for siphoning off all these kids colledge funds so that he can buy the nomination.

What would happen if he were to get the nomination? Sell coke on street corners?

FORGET THE NASTY GOP ATTACK ADS AND BLUE COLLAR PA WHITES, WE SMART WHITE DEMS HERE IN NC ARE GOING TO PUT HER AWAY. SHE WILL GIVE BACK HALF IF NOT ALL OF THOSE VOTES SHE GAINED IN PA.

Hopefully when North Carolina is over and if Obama wins, Hillary should exit. There will be NO way to catch him if he wins over 15 percent.

Hillary is depending on the old voters and poor. Thats great in states like PA, but it is not going to win you an election. You need the independent vote and Obama is getting it with huge margins.

It's amazing race that Obama is running. He is not only running against Hillary but Bill, Chelsea, McCain and the GOP. Go Obama, we're behind you all the way.

People come on! This is almost the end of the 21st century and you have not over this nonsense yet. America if you did not know is a country that is compose of many races of people and I do not think there is a single one of us that is more American than others.
Hillary Clinton is exaggerating her experience and her trip to Bosnia by putting more than there was to the story. At 60 there is no way you can lose your memory unless your brain is dead. These are all lies; there was no snipers fire.
Anyway what is the trade deal with Columbia is all about. You cannot go and have trade deal with country that does fallow US policies. What is the next trade deal for Clinton? May be Iran, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Sudan, or communist Korea.

Its interesting that Hillary had such a ' big symbolic victory' while giving up 20% of what she was ahead at the beginning of campaigning in Pennsylvania. I don't see it as a big victory – but as Obama closing in on her further.

I thought she agreed to the Michigan Florida DNC mandate – yet now she turns around and counts the popular vote from both and is 'sticking up for their representation'. Where was she when the rule was presented. Is it her way to repent and change her mind AFTER – per her stand on Iraq vs vote for the war – and now the DNC reversal?

I can just see her as president changing her mind depending on who/what so often we are all confused – which may be her strategy – confuse them until she gets her own way?

Why can't she close the deal? She asks it of Obama – but the same question is true for her.

Again I say – get to the issues. Listen to the people. FIND true responsibility for your actions and speeches, and recognize LEGAL and live by it. Is that asking too much of a candidate?

YOU CAN DO IT HILLARY!!

YES YOU WILL!!

If Hillary loses in NC by less then 10 percentage points it's a victory. Barack has been leading in NC for a while now, almost 20 percentage point lead, huge African American community in NC. plus this is a Republican state. Come November, it's Republican (most whites in the state are Republican). Not as big importance wise to Democratics as MI, FL, OH, PA, and MO are (swing states). Why is it that people have such a tough time putting things into perspective. Either they dont know enough, or they have their blinders on and can't see or dont wanna see certain things. How can Barack try to win the Presidency with half of Democrats not wanting him as the nominee.
If Hillary wins IN, she will be the nominee, no doudt in my mind.She will certainly win KY, WV and PR. It will be close in OR. MO and SD (small) wont have much of a say by June 3rd. The Super Delegates will have already decided this by June 4th!
Hillary started strong and will end strong. Barack had that huge amazing momentum during the middle (right before Feb. Super Tuesday). But now the momentum is gone.

Another sign that Hillary doesn't compete in states she knows that she has a huge defecit. so, Hillary is going to focus mainly on Indiana. Obama has an advantage in North Carolina, and he is still campaigning heavily there. why isn't Hillary. She only cares about states she can win. while Obama cares about all states. FLORIDA and MICHIGAN broke the rules and now HILLARY is continuing to break other rules to get them counted. All candidates voted to punish FLORIDA and MICHIGAN and now that Hillary needs them to STEAL the election she is breaking rules to do it.

OBAMA 08

Why is everyone talking up the 10 point win in PA when actually it was 9.4 which when I went to school was rounded to 9 and that is single digits.

Go Hillary, you are a fighter, and going uphill won't stop you.

You are the one we need, to beat McCain in Nov.

We don't want another Dukakis & Kerry. And 4 more years of pain and misery with McBush/McSame

HILLARY'08

So what Hillary won Pennsylvania. That still doesn't mean she's any closer to the White House. She's out of money, out of hot air and steam. She should just shut her big mouth and join Barak to help him win the White House!

If I was a North Carolina, I would tell Clinton "I hope you enjoyed that win in Penn, cause this is OBAMA COUNTRY NOW!" and then proceed to beat her down 55 – 45 and take back everything she won before in Pennsylvania. THEN we can spend the next 3 days talking about how Hillary "can't seem to win the black vote" or how she "can't seem to win the well-educated vote"

Hillary we know what you are trying to do! You want to go all the way to make sure Obama does not win in General Election. Then after 4 years you will get a free ride to nomination. Let me remind you: you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all the time.

HILLARY MAKES THE ARGUMENT THAT NC RESULTS WOULD BE IRRELEVANT, A DEMOGRAPHY (HIGH PROPOTION BLACK AND
HIGHER INCOME WHITE) FAVORS HIM.

BUT OF COURSE SHE CHOSES TO IGNORE THAT HER WINS IN OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA WAS DUE MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE
HIGH PROPORTION OF SENIORS AND BLUE COLLARS, SO THAT
HER SUCCESS THERE WOULD BE SIMILARLY IRRELEVANT

And it is a fact that her advantage in these groups between OHIO and PENN dates has shrinked.

TOM

LET'S GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is this news? she is in a uphill battle period, she cant win with out the Superdelegates doing something stupid, it is obvious the democrats are split and if they do something stupid, it may be 2016 before we ever see the White house again, it is time for change like in the direction of healing the party, do anyone disagree?

ya, arrogance is about to go and reality to set in!

Hi North Carolina & Indiana voters be vigilant for the May 6 polls. Indiana & North Carolina Democratic states chairmen, and all those in-charge of the polling booths, ballot papers, and areas where voting machines wild be used, must ensure that the machines are working at their very best and technicians must present to repairs should break down. This time round no "political arm-twisting" disenfranchisement, as it occurred in Ohio & recently Pennslyvania.
Be vigilant!!!
Go Obama ..08/12

Don't give up. We support you until the end.

Florida for Hillary.

I think it's funny how the educated people of this country are voting for Obama, and people have the audacity to call them stupid and brainwashed. the uneducated need to get off the butts and do something with their lives instead of hoping the Hillary will do something for them. the young and educated are the future of America and if Obama can energize the future and youth of america he needs to become president. Hillary and her supporters just need to grow up and face the facts. Hillary gets old people while Obama gets young EDUCATED people on his side. unfortunetly their are alot of baby boomers who want Hillary to win so they can continue to live off of social security.

It isn't an "uphill battle", it's a lost cause.

So far, there has not been one state that Clinton has done as well in on the actual vote as she had done in polling two-weeks out from that vote.
Right now, she's 20 points down in North Carolina and there's no reason to suspect that NC – a state she explicitly stated doesn't matter and she would not bother with in the general election whatsoever – would be the first competition of 47 to break this trend.

She'll be lucky to merely score EVEN with the average polling two weeks out – a feat she managed in Pennsylvania and no other state.

This election was won by Obama on March 4.
All Clinton is trying to do now is ensure McCain wins in November so she can run again in 2012.

I don't think she can hurt him that badly... but time will tell.

No-matter what, she's losing NC, BADLY.

considering after a six week campaign in Penn, she lost some 15 points to obama, i'm thinking she has very little chance to increase her lead in any of the remaining states, including indiana where she is currenlty down.

If you look at any state (where campaigning has been done, unlike Florida or Michigan), her numbers always drop as time increases.

I have a question for the Clinton campaign. Did you or did you not agree in writing and on the air about Michigan and Floriday? Yes you did. If you had not agreed, then you would have a leg to stand on. You know, I get dizzy just listening to you and your people spin the whole issue. There is no doubt in my mind anymore. It is not about the American people with you, it is all about you. You will do anything to win. You have proven that time and time again. Where was your pin the night of the debate? Oh, you are a Clinton. You don't need to wear one to show how patriotic you are. Well, If you are able to steal the election you will have lost 5 voters from our family. We will vote for someone else. One thing is for sure, it will not be you. Not any more. We are saying the h- with the party just as you have. We are Independent anyhow and see no reason to change as long as politics remains as is.

Clinton supporters make me sick. How can you be happy supporting someone who constantly lies to you? ...among other things.

She can win if media quit whining about GOP ad in North Carolina.
Main stream media going to far now
Hillary 08

Go Hillary '08!

If Senator Clinton win in North Carolina she could make her case of electability but if she loses in North Carolina, she should just get out of the race. Senator Obama is the better candidate and will do better against Senator McCain.

Obama is running against the Clintons, McCain and CNN. It has not gone unnoticed that on all the CNN shows, Larry King, Lou Dobs ect. that you break for commercial breaks when something negative is said about Obama or when something positive is said about clinton. The Clintin interview with John Roberts was the most disgusting example of softball pablum feeding I have ever witnessed. You should have run a disclaimer saying "Paid for by Clintons CNN supporters". Lets face it The Clintons and McCain are the establishment candidates and it does not matter which one wins. You people are hyperventilating because someone who cares for the people has a chance of winning and that scares the bejeebers out of you. Also Obama is black and we all know what that means to YOU! Here is one black vote that the Clinton machine has lost forever.

1- Negative attaks seems to work fr Hillary against Obama !
2- Obama can keep going on Economics and Positive Issues as before even more , but
3- Get himself Edouard ,and Bloomberg as Backers soonest
4- In the same time list Clinton Negatives ,( Why not ) among which starting from ( he list or his surrogates list them ) as follows =
5- White water
6- Sex in The White House , Monica in Oval Office
7- Bosnia !
8- Nafta
9- Penn double standard !
10- Judas/ Richardson
11- Jess Jackson
12- Tax return 07 and Bill Fondation +his Middle East shareholding
13- Bill Clinton in the White house , interferences Dubai , others off shores, and personnal buisness and Big Lobbying.
+ + including so called Payed for Conferences etc , etc

Woohooo, I hope with all my heart Obama wins the next 2 state's, and I hope he blows her away in NC!

The Clinton's are liars and not trustworthy. She doesn't have a chance in North Carolina.

Obama is the best nominee

Obama 08

Once again, we are hearing of the Federal deficit looming so large that our grandchildren will still be burdened with it. This was the incessant shrill of political pundits during the 1980’s. The media was quoting the figure on at least a weekly basis.

Then, we elected a President (William Clinton) who conquered this financial dragon. Stability of the U.S. Dollar returned throughout the world markets – much to the chagrin of those pushing for a fledgling European Union to compete with us.

Why is Candidate Clinton ignoring this relevant fact? The balanced budget formula was established long before her husband's “sex scandal”.

Democrats need to wake up and Look around.

We need a Competent, Able, Hardworking President. One who beleives in America Loves it and will protect it. That is Hillary.

Considering the racial demographics of North Carolina, is it really a surprise that Obama is expected to win? Can he win North Carolina in the general election? No! Most of the states that Obama has won have been solid republican states that are not about to switch in order to vote for an inexperienced, ego driven windbag.
I dont have much hope left for Senator Clinton to prevail, however I will take much pleaseure in seeing Obama get trounced in the general election.

If Not Clinton, McCain in 08!!

Clinton needs to win NC or else it proves she can't knock out Obama.

McCain in 08!

I would like they both come together and broker a deal. Because both have weaknesses and strenghts.

Obama will get the nomination, because ever though Hillary won PA, results do not affect Obama position.

Obama 08 & beyond!

Pennsylvania was a state everybody knew clinton was going to win, yet people are talking as if it was a battleground state. Now you CNN and others are saying, the next big contest is INDIANA. Thats funny, for I have this question, INdiana and North Carolina which one is bigger or has more pledge delegates yet you do not mention North carolina as the next big contest. you seem to ignore it because it favours OBAMA. Why did you people not ignore pennsylvania as a battleground state which favoured Clinton. You seem to concentrate only on Indiana now. Common you people should be honest. NOTE; INDEPENDENTS COULD NOT VOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA, SO OBAMA WAS HANDICAPPEDTHERE. YOU SAY IT CNN, STOP BEING BIAS.

It seems that clinton will not have to campaign much in north carolina. It seems the republican party is bashing obama. All she will need to do is have a few kodak moments and she can close the gap.

Good. Then the media can't spin her performance as a loss if she wins. Too bad that most of the states that the Democrats have to win look more like PA, OH, and MI than NC.

Is this another attack on Obama from Hillary ? Rev.Jeremiah Wright's
video that is being aired in N.C????

No problem: I am sure that after she loses, Mrs. Clinton will, as she has with the majority of other states, claim that North Carolinans don't matter at all, whereas Pennsylvania is now the center of American politics–and perhaps the known universe.

I don't suppose that ABC will be hosting a debate before the NC primary that features 45 minutes of asking Mrs. Clinton about Bosnia, her in debt campaign, or her policy reversals on NAFTA, either–questions which, incidentally, at least have the merit of being things she did, whereas Obama is held responsible for other people's words and actions. It depresses the heck out of me that we really did overestimate the people of PA after all: they would rather vote for the politics of division and fear, and a woman who the majority recognize as dishonest and negative (see polls), rather than move this thing along and give us a chance in November.

Way to go, PA. (Yes, that's sarcasm).

Clinton, like her husband, has always stood up for Civil Rights. But has Obama stood up for women? Does he even 'get it'? She can be far more inclusive than Obama.

WHY DOES CNN ALLOW A CANDIDATE TO PURCHASE SPACE ON ITS WEBSITE TO ADVERTISE AND RAISE MONEY??????!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE AND HOW CAN YOU BE VIEWED AS OBJECTIVE WHEN THE CLINTONS ARE PAYING FOR THIS PAGE?

TALK ABOUT THE DECLINE OF OUR NEWS MEDIA...COME ON CNN!!!

doubt you will print this

I am a McCain supporter by the way, would have the same issue if any candidate was allowed the same

If Clinton runs the same negative campaign she did in Penn. , the superdelegates are going to start flocking to Obama. She did not win the last primary by a big enough margin. In fact considering that Penn. was tailor made for her demographics and she only won by 10%, I consider it a loss. If she can lose by less then 10% in NC, I would consider it a loss for Obama.

HRC , you need to send Rush limburg who had mobilized his spiritual &loyal sheeps `oops' troops , a thank you letter for your win in PA and fund raise post PA.
They want you to be in the race as long as it benefit them for GE when they know you would be an easier target.

Why isnt CNN(the most watched news channel in my opinon)covering where Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are going to be tomarrow and why? Are you afraid of them like everyone else is..why isnt anyone covering "The Hillary Movie".. if this were Obama.. it would be OVER!!!!! you all should be ashamed of yourself as journalists...I am sure you wont be posting this!..people go to you tube and see the movie(full)for yourselves and wake up!!!!.. google Clinton V Paul (California April 25th 2008)...

If i get this posted it would be a miracle...and then you'd remain my MOST watched news channel(maybe)

MEDIA BIAS AGAIST OBAMA.

CNN YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOU HILLARY CANNOT SEAL THE NOMINATION......FOR LONG TIME SHE WAS THE FRONT RUNNER WITH A BIG NAME....MORE THAN ONCE THE MEDIA CALLED HER INNEVITABLE WINNER.......

WELL THINGS TURNED AROUND AND NOW BARACK IS WINNING ....THAT IS SWEET.....

SO THE QUESTION IS WHY CANN'T HILLARY SEAL THE DEAL.....BARACK HAS BEEN THE UNDERDOG IN THIS RACE...

GO OBAMA

I have 3 words:

momentum, Momentum, MOMENTUM!!!

Go Hillary!!

Let's cimb this hill – all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!!

Whatever gains she made in PA will be wiped out by the NC primary. This is where her money trouble starts to dog her in that she doesent have spare cash to fight in states like this. The result is that she will have trouble closing the gap in NC and will most likely lose big. On the other hand Obama has enough money to camapign hard in every state and reduce or eliminate her leads. He knows that he is ahead and just needs to maintain his lead until the convention.

CNN is certainly helping her with her donate button prominently displayed on your website.

North Carolina is a peaceful state with progressive thinking people.
I know see why they call states like Pennsylvania and Ohio battleground
states. They like to fight and vote on divisive things like race. Hillary can't
exploit that flaw here in North Carolina. That's why Senator Obama will
win here. He has a very diverse crowd of voters here, just like all of the other states that he has won.

Obama 08

N.C., for the love of God, please end this and send Hillary home! (Wherever that may be...she seems to claim to be from a lot of places.)

Senator Clinton is awash in scandals just like her husband Bill Clinton. She will not, I repeat will not win my home state of North Carolina!!! Her voters need to read the "Threat of China" by Mr. Gertz, and they will be in shock to learn that their beloved former President could not and was awashed with the Chinese Government in getting him reelective. Most women would have divorce their husbands after so many adultery affairs, but not Hillary because she has a personal agenda that the country owes her the Presidency for "standing by her man". Oh, I forgot it was the Republicans fault that he got caught with his pants down.

YES, Barack will be the COMEBACK KID!!

Which is ironic, being that he HAS been winning this whole time.

She wont Win neither State NC or IN.... IN will vote like IL and NC will vote like SC........Im so happy and very adimit that the next Primaries will cause her to exit the race... or the Supers will close the race

OBAMA.....

As a Black man i look up to you ......inspite the odds you have always shown yourself to prevell ...i read both of your books and you have an amazing life story..... you have lived a hife like many americans/.... single parent home... also at one point being raised by grandparents... like alot of AFRICAN americans... you have been without and not table fed with a golden spoon like the clintons and mccain............. its obvious that you were chosen by a higher POWER to be president... you have rapidly moved up the political latter...

You are my president

You have both side in you WHITE and BLACK....you represent what america is ... A large Melting pot...

I thank GOD that you ran and that you are in the lead

OBAMA 08

WHERE ARE ALL THE REAL DEMOCRATES? PLEASE GO HAVE A MEETING AND GET HER OUT THIS HAS BECOME A RACE WAR SO NOW YOU GOT THREE WARS GOING ON ITS NOT POSSIBLE SHE CAN OR WILL WIN WHAT IS HER MOTIVE WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR THE CLINTONS TO GET IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

it just me or what? I turned on the television and could have sworn I saw Hillary at an Obama rally. The crowd was chanting," yes we can" If she were at her own rally, she and her supports really lack originality.

How many times will the victory in PA be talked about as a big win? Wasn't she supposed to have won by big double-digit numbers, in the 20's? Obama closed the gap. She should have left him in the dust; it just did not happen.

yes we can........Now that Hillary is out of her teritory in PA....come here in north Carolina and we will show you the way out of this race to back home.

AND CNN STOP SAYING THAT INDIANA IS THE NEXT BIGGEST
CONTEST.

INDIANA ONLY HAS 78 DELEGATES
NORTH CAROLINA HAS 115 DELEGATES

YOU SHOULD GIVE NORTH CAROLINA THE SAME ATTENTION AND COVERAGE AS PA........CNN YOU ARE BIASED YOU ONLY GIVE COVERAGE TO STATES THAT HILLARY IS WINNING

SHAME ON YOU CNN SHAME ON YOU

GO OBAMA

We North Carolina voters are diverse and proud of it. Why carry racist
baggage when we can all co-exist peacefully and for the betterment
of society as a whole. That's what Senator Obama stands for, and that's
what intelligent voters realize in today's society. Senator Obama has
all the qualifications to be Commander in Chief. If he didn't, I just don't
think the laws of nature would let him be the one thats winning.

Obama 08.
Yes We can.

Hillary Clinton has to win both the Contest on May 6 which she will not barack doesn't have to win any and he still will be the Nominee because he has more Pledged Delagates, Popular Vote and States won

We will beat her by 19% in N.carolina.
This is not a place she can expect to bridge the gap-no way !!!
Obama is able to close on her like in PNS from 22%to 9%
What a fantastic President Obama will be?

Please, North Carolina, support Obama; Clinton's prolonged attempted theft is doing significant damage for November.

She can't win.

Obama's senior problem is not about him it is about his RACE lets face it.......older people are not comfortable with black men in general and .for the most part ...Obama himself addressed this issue in his race speech......Hilliary's hill will become more of higher hill in N.C.
Owl...Obama'08

"Obama owes his victories throughout the Democratic nomination battle to African-Americans"

How is this statement right here any different from what Ferraro said? Oh, I see how it is, as long as CNN says it about Obama (because it's absolutely 100% as true now as it was when she said it) it's ok because you've pretty much already chosen him as your candidate.

I think it's abominable how Obama can give a straight-faced "speech of the decade" about race while apparently turning a blind eye to the facts. Pennsylvania vote: 92% of blacks for Obama, 8% for Clinton? Oh, yeah, race is definitely an issue the U.S. is coming to grips with. Give me a break.

It will be interesting to see how she handles Obama's 15-25% lead, in light of how she handled her own 20-30% lead in Pennsylvania.

... if she can't reverse it, she's going to lose delegates over what she gained in Pennsylvania.

Donate to the Cause at Barack Obama.com

Get her Barack watch after he win there she will try to say it was this and that that state does not matter. Hillary you lost that is why am going to donate 10 dollar to Team Obama

I have a great faith with the North Carolina people they will close this deal given obam 65 to 35 win, they are to smart to let this contest go on when it is abvious Obama will be the nominee I beleive people in Indiana will do the same. No More retarded and old people like Pennsylvania.

Would this man even be a contender without the African American vote?

The tie breaker is Indiana, where she will win, Obama is going to keep blowing his money for nothing, I wonder how many people he could of helped with all those millions he spends attacking Hillary, Anyway he's not electable in Nov so its Hillary or McCain, you choose.

CNN need to let people know that Hillary is not going to win NC because CNN was telling people Obama could not win Penn I wondering would CNN be fair for Obama winning NC

Did anyone hear her say she was ahead in the popular vote because of Michigan and Florida???? This is so pathetic on her part to continue bringing up something that is so irrelevant. Please get through your head that Florida and Michigan are out! AGAIN!!!! Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. lol

Obama owes his victories throughout the Democratic nomination battle to African-Americans, young voters, upscale whites and independent voters. This shows that Senator Obama is a uniter and has been able
to build the broadest base coalition of any of the candidates. With a
country as diverse as America, he is the best candidate to represent
this country. His campaign has been based on bringing all people
together to work for the betterment of our society. This country needs
a leader of unity, not separatism and division.

Yes We can.

If she's anywhere near as good as Obama she should be able to cut his lead in NC in half just like he did with hers in PA.

Game on.

The PA victory was the beginning of the end of the Clinton Farewell Tour. So long Bill and Hillary! You have nice retirement nest egg of $109 million. Thanks for the memories!

In fact, she barely made a dent. At most, she picked up a net gain of 12 delegates — less than our gain, for example, in Colorado (where we gained 17) or Kansas (where we gained 14). Her gain in Pennsylvania was less than half of our gain in Virginia, where we added to our lead by 25 delegatesThey Can't overturn the will of the people ! IT will be ugly if they overturn, Do the MATH no way for her to win ulessThey Can't overturn the will of the people ! Then what has she won ??? overturn my volt and in no way will i volt for her , now if win the most delegates she has my volt

Obama can win big in NC and he can actually win NC in the general election, he is tied with Mccain in recent poll...
Clinton campaign will try desperatly to downplay NCs importance, but the fact is that Obama is likey to win with double digits. If he wins with 15% or more it will secure him the nomination because he will lead in EVERYTHING with such a number, that means popular vote including everything (even a contest where he wasnt on the ballot). Clinton campaign will use every method to stay in the race, but NC could seal the deal. Everyone talks about Indiana, but NC is probably more important.

The odd thing really is how the states have played out. In Souther states, states with large amounts of young people, open primary states, Obama has an advantage. I think that the superdelegates who have gone against the proverbial "will" of their constituents are looking at the bigger picture. The kinds of states Clinton have been winning have been important Dem states, yes, but they follow models similar to Pennsylvania (closed primaries), or the voter breakdown favors her due to higher numbers of traditionally Clinton voters. A more disturbing trend is that not only have these been the only states she's been winning, they've all been "must-win" states for her to keep her campaign going. I said so once before, so I'll say it again: What does it matter if you win the big states like Pennsylvania, if those are the only states that will vote for you? Why should I vote for someone who can't connect with the kinds of people who would allow them to win every state, not just the swing states?

Of course she faces an uphill battle. Obama already has 20% of the N.C. electorate in the bag without lifting a finger. Here I thought the days of voting for a candidate based on race was behind us as a nation.

Hillary Clinton claims to be the greatest magician of all time. She wants you to think that she has the momentum,that she has more popular votes, and should be the Democrat nominee. As the losing candidate, she wants Obama to be her VP. That is an amazing trickery. Despite the fact that she is behind in every area of the primary race. The spin and the magic that she dispenses only serve to raise false hope in people who are old, nieve, and uneducated. For anyone to believe that Hillary can somehow take this nomination or cause the super delegates to ignore the will of the people is magical and ignorant.
When you wake up from this deadly and confusing spell, you'll probaly be so out of you mind that most of you will be so easily duped by McShame McCain. If you need counseling after Obama is nominated, please contact me at hillary-trickery-is-over.com

I voted for Hillary but I regret my vote. She is a Liar. The moment I heard them lie how much they have raised in 3hrs made me puke!

Florida and Michigan whiners need to read the FACTS. It is a poor patheric arguement that will not work.

I suspect we won't be hearing "a win is a win" from the Clinton camp in the next two weeks in North Carolina, but we surely will in Indiana.

Had Hillary Clinton not been married to Bill Clinton, she would be a competent but obscure lawyer. She just has this....lack, of magnetism, of ability to inspire, of abitliy to create hope, and she would never have made her way to the national stage without him. She had name-recognition, money, and political connections one year ago. How come she didn't wrap up this campaign on February's Super Tuesday? She should have completely blown Barack Obama out of the water two months ago. Why has she run so inept a campaign that she is still behind?

Give me Obama anytime of the day!

I have come to the conclusion that democrat voters are very reflective of the party mascot the "Donkey". Especially the one's that vote, support and believe Hillary Clinton is an honest politician working for them. Obama had Pennslyvanian's pegged correctly with voting on "Wedge" issues i.e. flag pin, patriotism, reverend wright, etc etc.

IDIOTS, TOTAL MORONS.

I can see that He has a "plethora of advantages" and so should win according to the Clintons. I suppose she had No Advantage at all in Pennsylvania so she shouldn't win there. How nice.
The saying is "if they hate you they will give you a basket to carry water".
In my opinion, cutting 15-20 points off a lead that existed in a climate that is hostile is amazing. I am reminde of the task of Hercules trying to empty a jug by drinking not knowing it was attached to the sea. On his third gulp the coastal margins had vanished albeit he was unable to empty the jug.
Yes the task is daunting indeed for her but he managed an Herculean feat. Can she?

This is doable Hillary, you can eat into his lead as he did you in PA. Bring that gap down to 3-5 points. Speak to his base and don't go negative. I think emphasis on solutions is good enough, say it enough times and people will start adding up their grocery bills and gas bills – then decide who can ease that burden more.

If hillary wins N Carolina. it wil be amazing.. but she wont.. its impossible

Clinton's battle may not be so uphill. She, through the Republican Party (RNC), is running an ad exploiting Obama through Jeremiah Wright. The RNC has no reason to run this ad the week before the NC Primary (Democrats are running against Democrats and Republicans are running against Republicans). John McCain has asked them not to run this cheap shot ad, but they insist that they must. Clinton and her co-candidates, Bill and Chelsea, will whittle away at Obama and any hill he has through any means necessary, no matter how negative or despicable.

Senator Obama can not win! He can not lie like the Clintons. He can not deceive the voters like the Clintons. He has no history of corruption like the Clintons. He can not steal like the Clintons. He is too honest. He speaks the truth too much. He is too straightforward. Most importantly, he gives a darn about the voters and citizens as a whole. He lost the race before he started. He is just not smart enough to realize that Americans don’t want the truth and don’t deserve the truth. What Americans want to hear is that we are number one; and if anyone in the world messes with us we are going to kill them. See, I feel better already.

I have a very difficult time understanding Hillary supporters – period. She will do and say anything to win. I don't like that desperation; it speaks more to her ambition than a desire to lead this country in the right direction. The one comment that is most telling is "The Clintons feel they are entitled to the presidency." People need to look past their history of racist tendencies and see we need an inspiring, articulate leader. We haven't had one for a VERY long time.

Well duh....its a large black state. They'd wouldn't care if the man had a 12th grade education, many are voting for him just b/c his skin is black and this is their moment, their chance for the presidency. Wow...what a way to pick a president...skin color. Besides, he'll never beat McCain in the fall...NOT b/c he's black, but b/c he's just too far left, too inexperienced, out of touch, arrogant, and has too many skeletons that have recently been brought out of the closet. He's a gamble and NOW is not the time to gamble on a President. Our country is in trouble....we need a sure thing...thats Clinton.

We have HOPE...what we need is HELP.
HILLARY 2008

I don't think NC is same with SC, there are different blacks in two States, I believe NC African Americans are higher level than South. North Carolina voters are smarter than Obama, they will chose the best candidate for the next President, they will not vote by the color like SC. South blacks were manipulated by the Media, but North Carolina voters will stand up for our Country. I trust NC voters and respect them. Racial game will be the self destroy, Obama is doing wrong way, he is playing exact race card, that's why I think Obama will hurt Democratic Party and America if he gets the nomination. Obama is inexperienced, he think money can buy voters, but it didn't work in the United States of America. He needs the time to learn more.

So, what you are saying is if Hillary is truly a candidate of the people, she should be able to overcome her double digit deficit and cut it to within 9.8 percent to be viewed as competitive? Money is now pouring in with her victory in PA, so let the games begin again!

All I heard in PA was Obama can't win, he can't overcome a 20 to 25% deficit in the polls. Now here is a mirror opposite state that Obama should carry by double digits, with Clinton having a real fight to get even close, but she chooses to go straight to IN to court the voters in a state that she's neck and neck with Obama in. How does this make sense?

Let the spin machine say there was no way she could carry NC, or NC is a die hard republican state anyway so why expend the effort. Funny how it all plays out in the media.

What's with telling us Clinton had a big double-digit win in Pennsylvania? According to the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's website it was 9.2 percent. Not even fuzzy math can make that double-digit – unless you move the decimal point.

Listen to the band, register to vote, and vote for Barack, all at one time and all without having to worry about those pesky issues. Now I know what Barry means by the "New Politics!"

I truly believe Hillary is going to be in for the shock of her life on the eve of May 6.....not a good one, either.

Never a straight answer from a Clinton. The old phrase is, "The devil's in the details," in this year's elections the devil's in the generalities of the Democrats. What exactly do the plan to do? We won't know until this time next year.

Comeback kid, be the comeback kid. Women are depending on you. Hillary is the man every woman should aspire to be. She is tough as nails and brilliant.

Isn't it the president's job to make predictions? Sounds like all that "experience" isn't paying off..

Yea and she owes her victory's to old white folks. So lets stop with the race issues because North Carolina has a high African American population.

Hillary is working for the republicans

Just like their neighbors to the south, North Carolina residents will vote strictly on their race and not the candidates and issues.

We should just get rid of the border and call it one big Carolina state.

Lets see if the stories will be the same after NC.....

Think i will do a donation today to too, for Mr Obama, Yes we can !!!

Does this really matter anymore? She will not get the nomination. Noone in the know honestly thinks she has a chance. The media is just putting out this garbage about how she can sway the super delegates blah blah blah. No, she can't. The DNC is not going to screw itself for the next 8 years just to nominate someone who is actually less electable than the other candidate. There is no logic behind why they would do that. Hillary will not win. I feel sorry for those still donating money to her campaign.

About that caption under the photo of Sen. Clinton to the right....there's no disputing that she won but won big? Come on now. Big would have been the 15-20% margin she was supposed to have achieved in the tailor-made state of PA. Big is not 9% (a single digit win by the way after rounding up).

As for NC....I'm frankly surprised that CNN dared to admit the "challenges" that lie ahead for Sen. Clinton isntead of the usual "comeback momentum" mantra that has become the chant of norm these days when pointing to the reality of her situation.

My hope for NC is not only to have Sen. Obama do extremely well and increase his delegate lead with all of his key bases of support in play, but to also bring the party to the real task at hand which is confirming the ultimate nominee that will take on Sen. McCain.

She will do Well in NC. People are on to the false hope that Obama has. Everyday we learn more about him and nothing good has yet to come out about him.

Let it go hillary. The math is not on your side. Fool me once!

THERE IS NO WAY HILLARY CLINTON CAN WIN THE NOMINATION.
FOR HER TO WIN, SHE MUST WALK ON WATER, BE FORGIVEN FOR ALL HER LIES AND WEAR A DRESS. NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN-BYE BYE HLLARY.
OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE A SENIOR PROBLEM, I AM 82 YEARS OLD AND I SUPPORT OBAMA 100%. OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

Clinton is a whitch. I despise her so does half of America. How can she ever win.

ITS COMMON SENSE>>> IF SHE WINS THE NOMINATION, MCSAME WILL WIN THE ELECTION...

Even a kid could tell you that.... Wake up people b4 its too late....

Clinton has overcome many up hill battles.

I wonder how much the TV ad the republicans are running will hurt him?

You must remember the people in Carolina are very religious,
and Rev Wright is very offensive to many people. Obama can make
all the excuses he wants, but the reality is he sat in that church for
20 years and there is no way he didn't hear some of Wright's
anti american remarks. This is just the beginning of what the
republicans are going to do to him.

Hillary lies!!! Bill lies!!! How can people in the military have respect for a Commander and Chief who lies about running from sniper fire when they have lost their fellow soilders to sniper fire???

Obama 2008

Barack, Do not debate Clinton again. She is only looking for free airtime sense she can't afford to pay for it... Make her pay for her ads like everyone else.

Don't let her ride your coat tails....

Lets see if Hillary can make gains in NC like Obama made in Penn. I hope the voters in Indian and NC are ready to put an end to this tumor on the democratic party known as Billary.

As well she should. I am tired of seeing and hearing her. It is up to the good people of NC & IN to end the madness.

Hillary has lost. The mathematics will not add up. She only gained a few
more delegates in Pennsylvania. Senator Obama is still ahead by over
one hundred and fifty delegates, and in the popular votes and number
of states won. This primary is about DELEGATE count, not race, gender,
etc. Like any game, the person with the most numbers is the winner.
Most , if not all true democrats will unite behind the winner.

Democrats 08.

As a North Carolina resident, the campaigning has begun. My son(a high school senior) and many of his friends have watched the debates and we have all had many conversations about politics. They are all in favor of Obama. They are ready to be in charge of their futures and understand the message and policies that Obama is stating. They are faced with education expenses, and the fears of another war.They are trying to find funding for their educations and look around NC with the manufacturing going overseas and understand education is all they have. I am a white 41 year old female working on a college degree, OBAMA all the way.

What does the United States call other countries who change their rules in the middle of an election to favor a particular canidate. Corrupt. That is exactly what Hillary Clinton and her team want to do. Change the rules in the middle of an election. According to the official rules this election is finished and Obama is the winner. Therefore, no more need for another debate so they can team up on Obama 3 to 1 again.

I know Hillary won't quit until she is knocked out all the way, so Obama please knock her out. Give her a good solid knock out punch that lands her sprawling on the ground. Then give her a couple of good kicks to make sure she doesn't get back up. We're getting sick of her and her buddies nasty mouths.

in polls she has already cut into his lead. watch out obama, go eat your waffle you wimp.

Well, when the Chance is Gone, for the First Time Ever US President, It's no use Reliving it. Most of the Women all over the World, are watching this Election... What would they do, if they had this chance of picking a Woman....

You can do it Hillary!! Dont give up we are all fighting for you!!

i get physically sick every time i see or hear Hillary. i will never vote for this woman for anything. if she manages to somehow steal the nomination, i will stay at home.

Why is it that every time Obama wins a state, Clinton says that he was expected to win it so it doesn't matter?

When she wins a state that she was heavily expected to win, she 'triumphed' over Obama and it was a huge win.

And now it's a uphill battle for her. It was an uphill battle for Obama in PA too, but I don't recall that being mentioned as Hillary was the supposed 'underdog.'

she doesn't have a built in advantage ..... what ever happen to done by super Tuesday? I'm ready for Obama to fight McCain and bring his dirt to light... since obviously everyone forgets about what Hilary has done and said... NO NETWORK ever drills her ..... and thats fishy......

OBAMAANION yes i will except that name if it means change

Obama 08
