All this "news" from MSM is not news. It's a transparent attempt to force the perception on the public that the race is close. It's all about ratings and $$$$. If Obama appears to have too large a lead (or momentum), they spend endless hours subtly attacking him until the polls draw close. If Clinton is up, they pedal subtle attacks on her and manipulate opinions to tighten the polls. Think I'm wrong? Go back through CNN (and other MSM), archives and look at the coverage trends. MSM is hijacking the process for financial gain. Don't be fooled folks. Educate yourself on the facts and ignore the propaganda/spin. But, by all means, continue to tune in for "breaking news" and "up to the second" reports.

The big problem I see with this continuing is that Obama has never blatantly said that Clinton is unelectable or that he thinks McCain is a better choice for commander in chief. If he were to be the one that had to leave the race, he could go to his supporters and say,"Vote for Hillary, vote Democrat". How could Hillary do the same with any credibility after the way she has painted him as unelectable, elitist, out of touch and not fit to be commander in chief.? It would fit right in with a lot of her other changes in thinking that fit the moment or situation, but would probably not sway many of her faithfull that she has already convinced to hate Obama.

Obama,

Now is the time to get focused and take this campaign. Speak details..keep on the issues and keep the message strong and positive. Don't only speak of uniting and changing..provide all the specifics and present a plan for immediate progression. Dreams can only take shape through vision, belief, and most importantly organized action. Tell the people of Indiana the formula for success and they will believe. Then we will follow you to through November and change this world. Everyone wants it…they may just not even realize it. Let's do this one step at a time. Let's make the reason clear.

Obama 08 and beyond.
Destiny is Calling.

You are bothered by the Primary - how about he Iraq so called War - that is simply maddening. Iraqis laughing up a storm I'm sure at how dumb the USA is giving them money for dead people, etc who are not working, feeding the Gov't and they move to Paris and steal truckloads of American Taxypayer money - NOT TO SPEAK OF ALL THE DEATHS THAT HAVE BEEN UNNESSARY.
We have the worst Gov't ever in the USA today.

I cannot believe how many people are still putting their confidence in Hillary Clinton. She has proven not to be trustworthy. She has lied several times over somewhat important things just to make her look good. If we look back, we will see that she has not done anything in any of the states. She was only a first lady, not a president. She failed in several things she did attempt during her husbands presidency. Does noone remember the Whitewater problem that the Clintons had in Arkansas. Dishonesty there that continues through today. I prefer someone who does not lie and cover it by calling it a misspeak. A lie is a lie. Please get her out of the race. She is not presidential material.

My American people you should look in the mirror and be ashamed of yourselves. We have a (black) Man that is well qualified for this position and what does the media along with Hilary (who we use to love) do ..bring up things to distract us from making the best decision about who would help to make this World equal and better for not only the rich but for everyone..If Hilary can fool you by this stupidity that she has made a part of her campaign then what else will she fool you with to get what she wants,,,Bosnia ..hmmmm
We need to focus on the real issues here and stop letting the media and other people(Hilary) keep us from being part of the American Dream no matter your race,,, isn't that what American is about!!!
Obama 08!

Clinton is a backstabbing, back biting Liar

Nader looking better and better every day….

I DARE CNN to not do a report based on a poll for 6 months -
Try real news for awhile.

Obama/Edwards 08

I think that the WORLD needs Obama as the President. If anyone who is voting for Hilary actually looked into all the lies and false promises she has made over the years we wouldn't be having this conversation. It would not suprise me if Hilary got in though. I mean this is the country that voted George Bush in for 2 terms.

Is anyone else in Indiana bothered by Hillary Clinton's statement that we have "wandered in the wilderness of American politics for 40 years" and the suggestion that we are likely to remain exiled unless she gets us the debate we deserve?

We have CNN, the Internet, and the Indy Star. Who's being elitist now? I have no intention of voting for someone so out of touch with my state and the level of political involvement here in the heartland. We're the Crossroads of American, not some forgotten hinterland. Now that I know what you think of us, I'll get over it and find a candidate who better reflects my views.

The Perfect Storm…I love it!

Obama can not win the general election. He will lose all the south and border states, all the normal red states, Michigan for sure because his lawyers held up a revote and one or both Ohio and Pennsylvania. David Brooks reports that he is only tied with McCain in Minn. Wisc. and New Jersey. The so called big new voter numbers and higher voting in the primaries is mostly being fueled by the AA community and that will be offset in the general election by defections to McCain by that segment that claims they will not vote for a black candidate. I know this is not right, but it is a fact of life. If Hillary is the candidate its possible the black vote will stay home in protest. The stage is set for a McCain victory. How sad!

Hillary (and both Clintons for that matter) are a total joke. Some of the blindest supporters I've ever seen who spew vile slanderous things about Obama.

No matter, she won't win. Her negative tactics won't work.

It's time to call for Obama to step down. He is using the race card too often & is dividing our nation even more than it is.

I hold no faith in the polls. He will win NC and IN…then Hill will have to drop out!

The perception that Hillary will do anything to get elected is scary. She wants to have a Lincoln-Douglas style debate with Obama. I have seen all of the debates. I have seen most of their stump speaches. I am sure the folks in Indiana and North Carolina have also. It is time for this drama to end!

Every Hillary supporter that threatens to vote for McCain must be a member of the 13 percent that wouldn't vote for Obama anyway.

Please hurry to your nearest voting precinct and change to the republican party already since you harbor their racist, elitist values along with Hillary.

Obama 08

No more Clinton. No obliterate Iran. No more war. No more useless debates.

Dear Media,

Please go away. Thank you.

This election is playing out just the way I thought it would. A newcomer, with big hype and big speeches draws a lot of crowds and support initially. But after a longer than usual election process, folks get to see past a lot of the hype. And that takes a toll on someone whom does not have a lot of substance. Clinton, thank you for staying tough in this race. Had you dropped out earlier, we would never have seen much of this about Obama.

I don't know if either of the candidates popularity is waning or waxing or whatever. But I do know that Americans are already sick to death of politics, politics, politics. After eight years of ineptitude and corruption, we're all hungry for change. But we've already had eight months of politics and campaigning and there's still six more months to go. We're hitting the saturation level and are already nauseous from wave after wave of political commercials, ads, debates, flyers, and whining.

Bill - Problem is, many folks do not get to know the candidates. They let the 30 second sound bites the news media select influence them.

America - wise up - do some research. The TRUTH is within your reach. But YOU must invest the time and not rely on others to do the research for you.

Peace!

No Hillary on the ballot? My vote goes to McCain. Yours should too.

42% is the magic number — if O were to get that percentage or higher in every state, territory and that percentage of Super D's, he wins the nom. Clinton is taking the whole party up her Sisyphyan escapade. It's a done deal.

It's offical…buyers remorse has set in. Hopefully it's not too late.

Neither democratic candidate will win because (1) a lot of white people see OBAMA's skin color and not the improvement he can bring to our country and (2) a lot of black people won't vote for Hillary because of anger at "the system" that gave her the nomination. Unfortunately, unless people wake up and think for themselves more of our soldiers are going to die for an untruth and ordinary folk will keep suffering.

What a surprise! The press finally takes off the kid gloves about Obama and the truth comes out. Now people outside of Illinois are seeing the real Obama and his popularity is fading. If press coverage of him had been like this all along he would have been out of the race a long time ago.

Is the elitist Hillary Clinton really trying to convince Indiana she is good ol' wholesome town folk? Give me a break! By making references to flat bed trucks and using words like "fancy" doesn't make you a member of that community. We see right through your GOP tactics. Do we really want a self serving candidate who is too stubborn and greedy to realize she is damaging the democratic party as president? Also, I think people would question her motives a little more if they understood her ties with the Bilderberg Group. WAKE UP AMERICA!

I do not understand how Hillary is leading in these polls..

Well till that happens I will not believe MSM

I think the reality is Hillary will be the next President. I don't think any of the three will do our country any good. Not sure anybody is good enough. She stayed in and the tide is turning in her favor. At least I can get a bumper sticker when the country is unhappy that says "Don't blame me…. I didn't vote for her"

It is interesting the people who want Hillary because she is a "fighter" she will stick it out even when she cannot win… reminds me of Bush he is a "fighter" even when he has lost he does not know it all he can do is drive the country into the ground while he "fights".. sounds alot like Hillary and what she is doing to the Dems. she cannot win the numbers are against her folks, NC has more delegates than In so when Barack wins NC by a LARGE margin and she eeks out a win in IN he WINS again.. it is math folks! But I guess you support Mr. Bush's ideas.. fight no matter what you do to those around you when you lose just start calling it a victory and people will believe you!

Talk about lying. Obama takes the cake. The day after New Year's 1996, fresh from being a civil rights lawyer, Obama abused his position as head of a voter registration project to expand his access to the ballot box. Obama operatives filed into a hearing room of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners and challenged hundreds of signatures on the nominating petitions until every one of Obama's four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot. Sounds like afew other well known figures like Adolf Hitler, The Ayatollah Komani, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro. They were all new to politics and all ran on campaigns of change. Dictators always do. Be careful what you wish for.

Better late than never…It is a mystery how Obama ever reached where he is today! He is a pathetic, egoistic hypocritie. All he does is just talk…one cannot become a President with only that one credential!
Wake up people, see him for what he is…how long will u be fooled and swayed….kick him out before it is too late and u r left repenting…

Dead even?I remember Sam Walton telling us to buy American,another lie wrapped in the flag.

CNN you want us to believe that, but it is not true…………. while we know you want clinton as the nomineee the majority we want Obama

while in PA you misreprsesented who won and how, or why..
you are trying to sabotage it in IN and also in NC, as well

but like the clintons, the biased media will not fool the people

by June we will have our nominee for sure, Sen.Obama.

please cnn stick to the facts and numbers……….. that should not be hard.

COME ON HOOSIERS DONT VOTE FOR A LOSER !

STOP THE DRAMA AND VOTE OBAMA !

As an African American male age 48, former president Hillary and Bill Clinton has lost all of my respect. I use to like Bill Clinton and even voted for him and stood by him during his very tough times in the White House when he was going through his impeachment process with the Monica Lewinsky. Let me just say one thing I was not in favor of voting for Senator Barack Obama until after his win in Iowa. I was strongly leaning toward voting for Senator Clinton and she had my vote locked in.

However, after Senator Clinton’s loss in Iowa she seems to have lost some true appeal that really had my heart as a voter. Then Bill Clinton starting playing the race card and bringing the country to a stand still on the issues and allowing race to dominate the presidential campaigns.

However, I believe that after seeing her run her campaign it would only indicate just how dysfunctional her administration would be and it would be an administration that can forge our country ahead in the 21st century in regards to race relations. This is not only need in our own country but in the foreign world as well which is extremely important now because our planet is in pearl and we need a leader that can at least try to bring about some sense of peace through out the world.

What is it that the media, including CNN is not getting on this Wright thing. Wright is telling the truth that millions of Americans are agreeing with. Secondly, FORMER PASTOR, what is the media not getting. Obama is not being advised that Wright, and Wright not being advised by Obama. Both gentlemen have made their stance Clear. What the media does not want to do is THINK and secondly, THIS MEDIA is part of the old partisan politics.

people who support Hillary think one more time. when there is a prob like 9-11 in country she gonna sit at home and cry. if she cant take the work load how can you think she can take such pressures and take right decisions. NOWAY….U GUYS ARE CRAZY.

It should be obvious by now that all this is tearing the party apart.
Though I definitely support Obama, I recognize they are both good candidates and essentially the same on the issues. Their differences pale next to their differences with McCain.
And whichever one wins the nomination, the loser will undoubtedly campaign for the winner. So all you people who shout that you wouldn't possibly vote for the other, just remember that.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid Clinton-sheep. If you think Hilary has any chance of winning anything, you are more delusional than George "what recession?" Bush.

Gain or BOUNCE? We will see. In any event , it is important to remember–as Bill Schn'eider explained a couple of years ago–that tracking polls do not predict the actual support for a candidate, but the CHANGE in support. To estimate the actual support, your "poll of polls" is a measure that could be used. The most recent poll of polls showed Obama up 11 points. This morning Newsweek put out a poll showing Obama plus 8. This is consistant with previous polling that shows that predictive polls (like those used in your "p of p" average) run about 8 to ten points above the Gallup tracking polls taken at the same time.

Get real people. Are we trying to win an election or are we stuck on which cake to present to the guests?
We need a "joint ticket." Period.
Neither one of our potential candidates are going to be able to pull this off alone. Nancy Pelosi is entitled to her "opinion" about a joint ticket but the reality is; neither candidate can pull in the requisite populations or states to do it alone.
I want to win the presidency for the democrats, don't you?
This isn't a game, we are trying to keep McCain from gaining the presidency. That's it, that's the goal. Keep it simple and we'll win.

If Super Tuesday was held today this would be a completely different ballgame! We would have a candidate, and it would be HILLARY! As the truth comes out people finally realize it!

I am a Hillary supporter. I am also now reading Barack Obama's book "Dreams From My Father." I have a new -found respect for him. I am a little wary of Michelle Obama's personality (not competency though; I thought the same thing about Hillary when Bill was running) and I think Bill Clinton is going off the deep end.
I've just gotten used to the Idea that Obama may be the Democratic candidate and I will gladly cast my vote for him if he wins the nomination.

Hilary = Nixon

Characteristic are identical!

If you haven't noticed she is conniving.

Please, anybody but Hilary.

So Clinton's Rove tactics are working?. She's such a sleaze.

This has more to say about the electorate of people who continue to fall for the smear campaign tactics. Voters pay more attention to the vitrial character attacks being lobbed by Clinton and look away from a truly intelligent man talking about changing the way the game is played and taking the high road.

Don't fall for Hillary's scare tactics. We don't need another leader who reminds Iran that we could nuke them back into the stone age. Seems like Bush rhetoric there.

Hello,

I am truly considering switching parties from Democrat to Republican for the dems are once again proving they're dysfunctional unity ……

In an era where there is no way they should loose the election given an unpopluar President, failing economy, war etc..

Yet trust me when I tell you that the election will be much closer than expected and would not be totally surprise if somehow the GOP wins again..

I'm through!!

To Niel, NY

The trend that you are talking about stinks.

Obama is NOT losing his supporters - I'm so sick of these stupid "polls" - like they are accurate. Obama's supporters are stronger than ever!

Go Obama 08!!

YAY! People are finally starting to realize the lunacy and transparency of Mr. Obama.

Real eyes DO realize real lies

FAUX-BAMA '08!

I think the media wants to make the public "think" alot of things! Be smart people….think for yourself!

Obama is a strong man. He's a peacemaker. That's not deficient, that's different.
Hillary likes to fight. Now that's descriptive.

All Obama has to do to win is tie out, so guess being tied in the poll is n't a bad thing for him. Hillary has to win something like 70 to 75% of the rest to tie up the delegate count. Guess a tie is a loss for her.

i don't want obama to win anymore, i want america to stay the same, with it's same old politics the same old rules(only whites) and get prepared for what's coming to it. along the way somebody.. somewhere… has something better for us!

Hillary is a loser, liar etc. and will never be a respected president

If she gets the nom Im going McCain

The media is trying to bring life to Hillary…
She has no chance and working hard just to help McCain.

Polls are only for the media - how often has the vote turned out different than the polls showed?! Then again, is it Hillary's staff running the poll to get the super-delegates to back her; or is it Obama's staff running the poll to make sure all his voters get out and vote in the next state primaries.

The media coverage has been so poor during this election period that we can't believe anything any of them show. There is no longer any reporting done right - just highlights and no background work to get the FULL story.

The truth is that negative media like this is one reason it seems like Hillary is gaining. Just like when she won New Hampshire…due to slick use of emotion, the media is really influencing the tide of this election. Obama is still first, and there have been a lot of distractions from both candidate's messages by the media. This campaign is really tearing apart the democratic commmunity. Yes, we are a community and we need to understand that.

Polls are great. The bottom line we will know - once all the votes are cast and counted.

I knew that sooner or later most rational voters would begin to wonder just what kind of "change" Osama had in store for them.

Maybe they've begun to figure out that Obama isn't going to being paying for all his liberal changes—-WE ARE!

Obama is DUMBER than Advertized

Hey McWar
You are brilliant!!

That's fine for now. He'll be back.

I still don't understand how anyone can vote for a racist like Obama. Hillary is not better. Dems have to admit it - They are stuck with terrible candidates.

She is NOT going to win in the primary…and John McCain will not win in the General….Obama

Frank, why the heck should Obama drop out of the race??????? He has won the most states, he has won the most votes, he has the most delegates!!! Your statement makes absolutely no sense!

Hill can not win without destroying the party by stealing the nomination in a smoke filled room. She is just what the Rep. want, they even say it with out ambiguity, she is easier to beat than Barack.

She can not catch up.

OBAMA 08′

DONE

7 is more than half of 19?

The only thing the republicans are "hoping" for is that they get to run against Obama in the general.

The audacity many democrats have in believing that somehow ALL of Obama's dirty laundry (and despite what many pundits say about Clinton, she's really barely scratched the surface) won't be aired is inane. Of COURSE it will all be dragged out…and he will fail in the general.

It's about time the dems came out of the ether of rallys and cries of "change" and realized the only "change" that would come of Obama as the dem candidate would be a change of who the republican president is. Nothing more.

If Obama is "just another politian" then what the heck is Hilary? She's on the interest groups payroll - and her comments about health care? It's ridiculous. She's one of the highest paid gophers for pharmaceutical companies, and we expect HER to make change?

And what about Whitewater? Did we forget how crooked she is?

Hilary has been a "politian" for decades. Her experience is to run the country the same way as all of the other "gold ol' boys." If you don't like how things are now, why would you put yet another interest group supported good ol' "girl" in the Whitehouse?

It just doesn't make sense to me. And if I hear one more woman say they're voting for her because it's "time for a woman," I'm going to puke. That's the furthest thing from women's rights. Vote for her because you think she'll do the best, not because she's a woman. That just takes women back a few decades.

Hillary has been a proven liar, so, like the current Liar in Chief, she can no longer be believed in anything.

Why people tolerate her, and even admire her, I will never understand. That woman should not be President!!

Obama/Somebody other than Clinton '08

the reason Indiana is so important to clinton is because of the "African American" vote. Now you want to talk about a group being racist. 90 some % ? If he were a typical white man would the vote be the same? I don't think so. If he realy wants to not make race an issue, then he should talk to his supporters about it. This is for the President of the country, not of a high school. He has nothing to give us except a racial divide. a poll also showed that when people read his speeches instead of seeing him give them, they were turned off by them. Doesn't that tell you something! Wake up America. We need a president that can connect with all, not just the rich and the black.

We are seeing the end of the Clinton's legacy ruined by their own scorched earth tactics and greed for power.

Long live the will of the people and Obama 2008!!!!!

I am just wondering how two multi millionaires (Hillary and McCain) have the nerve to paint Obama as some elitist snob who is out of touch with Americans? He grew up in a single parent home for God's sake! Hillary's family had enough money for a summer home in PA and is worth 100 million dollars. Who's the snob now?

If Hillary wins the nomination. A lot of Obama's supporters will likely support Hillary. The black women would more likely support Hillary because of gender. The black men would more likely lose interest in this election. Why cross over and vote republican for another white candidate?

If Obama wins the nomination. A lot of Hillary's supporters are likely to crossover and vote for McCain due to race.

The Democratic party would be at a greater disadvantage if Obama wins the nomination. That's just the way it is.

Bill Clinton has successfully turned Obama into the Affirmative Action candidate. Congrats Bill.

If I worked at a financially troubled corporation, and I had a say on who to hire to replace a crooked CEO that had nearly run the company into financial ruin, I sure as hell am NOT going to hand the reigns of my future over to a cockey, inexperienced, fast-talker. Wake up America, before it's too late!!

Jesse

Why is Obama a hypocrite?
Complains about negative adds and then continuosly uses them.
Talks about not being a elitest… then goes to a high dollar San Francisco fundraiser and talks about PA clinging to guns and religion.
Refuses to denounce Rev Wright (claiming he's his 20 year mentor) but now trys to seperate himself from him and claims he never heard him say anything negative… that's all the man preaches!
Claims to be unity and change… then we hear all these new connections to Bill Ayers… a militant.
Yells YES WE CAN… unless it's votes in Michigan and Florida.

and that's just off the top of my head… Hypocrite… You bet!

NOBAMA… NO WAY

Neither one is fit to serve as President.

All the rule changes by the Clintons and the DNC caving into them by her bullying, the party has now become the CNC (Clinton National Party). I am done, I think I'll stay home and watch a good movie. Enough already with this childish foolishest. Who the hell cares ,the corporate media has made certain that nothing will change. We are just sheep to slaughter.

DROP OUT, MR. OBAMA.

Now is not your time.

When reading comments from the Hillary supports. They all have the same tone, which lead me to believe it's one person pretending to be
many. Just an observation.

We hope the good people of N.C and Indiana vote for Obama.

What Hillary said about the good people of the South is a slam to all Americans. "Screw em", she said.

This is a serious concern.

Obama '08

trends thats what got america in this problem

It is not time for another Clinton and I really am ashamed that most people would rather vote for Hillary (a white woman) than Barack, an educated black man who can bring this country to another level. But most of white america will not give him the opportunity. How sad a country are we??

McCain, Baby. Just, win. Go Raiders!

Obama '08! We love him here where I live and look forward to seeing him in the White House. Obama for truth, honesty and real change in Washington!

Sure, BO will win "big" in NC, on the basis of the same narrow demographics he's had all along. Remember, the Democratic party in the South, in the words of Fritz Hollings, "is a black party."

BO hasn't significantly increased his appeal among the non-black 87.2% of the US population.

Not sure about IN. Will probably be close.

Is it legitimate to drop out of the race being ahead by all factors? I don't know how he can drop out of the race as some people sugested here.
If Obama was a white person, he wouldn't face all these problems.
Poor he is!!!

Do you really want a president who is so willing to "obliterate" 20 million children in Iran just to prove she's as "tough" as the boys?

I know it's hard, but THINK people.

" It is Time To Turn the Page" . Hillary cannot win. The superdelegates will not give the nomination to her, so get over!!

Obama08

A boost for her was expected after PA, anybody who did not expect it was a fool, but like all her other "boost" once people get over the "win" she will fall and he will rise again, see him after he takes NC and IN there will be a boost for him then and she will fall..

Now, we learn the reverend is joking about being Obama's VP. Pretty sickending when you consider this is supposed to be his true contrition period, and it comes after he spews his hatred toward us. This guy is a huge gift to the campaigns of Hillary and John.

If the Democrats really want a candidate that will do or say anything to win, they should go with Hillary. If character and dignity matter, Obama is the choice. It's that simple.

Just Say NO to BAMA!

People, Obama has already won. She can't win the delegates or the poulr vote unless she wins with 60-65% in all remaining contests. Obama is up by 15% in NC, 3% in IN, and other states (like Oregon) he'll win too. The math doesn't work for her. The media is making this an issue. Hillary people…do the darn math. Get behind Obama, and let's beat McCain !!!

April 28th, 2008 11:13 am ET

Pray that Hillary Clinton takes the reigns of this country and sits at the helm. She is a rare and dignified individual. She is beautifully brilliant on economic/foreign policy and will never forsake or divide this country. In our midst is one of greatness. God speed our great nation under Hillary Rodham Clinton.
===========================

Serious..your serious? Serious? no, this is supposed to be funny..oh okay..haha.yea right..Hillary would never forsake or divide…haha..thats funny.. you are a funny person..

If she doesn't make up anymore war stories to toughen her image, and rev Wright can stay out of the media with his 'old school' racial commentary (he is a little out of touch with the year 2008), we still have a chance to win the white house. And the best chance would include Hillary on top with Barack as VP. 8 years later Barack and (insert junior statesman here)

I was once a fan of the Clintons, but this campaign has really shed
light on the REAL CLINTONS.. Use you to get what they want. One more thing: Obama outspent Clinton? IF CLINTON WERE NOT IN DEBT SHE WOULD BE OUTSPENDING OBAMA, THE THING IS SHE OUTSPENT HIM FROM THE START OF THE CAMPAIGN. GIVE ME A BREAK.. Hillary, go away before you lose the respect of all the American People who once stood behind the Clinton name. Don't be such a Nasty politician. Play fair.

Lord please deliver us from Evil…
Go Obama

Are you Americans that segregated from the rest of the world as your reputation around the world preceeds you??

I think its funny watching American news and how it scares all you people, spinning stories in favour of one person over another.

We Canadians cant help but laugh, especially when all over the news stations around the world everyone sees Hillary in a negative light, she is a BAD person! Its too bad you people arent presented with the real facts. But dont worry everyone will find out the truth about her plans for "change" by the end of her 4 years if she is elected. And I will laugh at all of you while the rest of the world continues to badmouth you for making the wrong decision. Bill Clinton for 4 more years, enjoy it, dont do anything differently America, Fall into the same group for leadership over and over again, HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

I have reached the point where it matters not to me if Obama wins or not; of course I want him to win…but almost more than that, I want Hillary to lose. I am black in America, so long suffering comes with the territory, despite what Geraldine Ferraro says. I will spite my face, by cutting off my nose if Clinton wins the primary. And, I will fight against her and instead prefer to remain divided. Besides, isn't that what blue-collar, un/der-educated, catholic voters want. Well get ready, you might be getting exactly what you asked for. Greetings and Adieu!

Really not a big deal. Obama has gone from 10 points up to tied, back to 10 points up numerous times since February. People's moods change with the wind based on what they're hearing from the media at the time. After Obama wins Indiana, there will be a major push for Hillary to drop out, at which points Obama will go back up by double digits. It's how politics works…

Obama 08

Perfect!!

"A change is coming", Quote by Rev. Wright
"Change in America" Rev. Wright
"Yes we can". quoted by Rev. Wright
Sound familiar, I wonder who stole this out of Rev. Wrights playbook.
Take away the teleprompter and the smooth speeches and what do you have? Reverend Wright's black liberation philosophies. In Rev. Wright's speech last night, he was very condescending towards whites and even knocked us for our european education system. If he doen't like it, move to Liberia, they have that system and it doesn't seem to be working for them.
My question is what change, to set this country back a couple hundred years. No we need a candidate with smart choices and who satnds to make this country better. Bill Clinton did it in the 90's and I'm sure Hillary can do it now.

they would n't let this go through in the drop out blog so I am posting it in this one
Jake
s.b, Florida and Michigan are NOT going to be seated, end of discussion. They broke the rules that were agreed to and only one candidate campaigned there. For those states to be counted would be grossly unjust and everyone knows that and that's why it's only an issue to Clinton supporters who want to subvert the popular vote. Dean is doing his best to tame an increasingly venomous nomination process. Maybe you could help by not critiquing him on an arbitrary issue like Michigan and Florida.

So in your opinion it's ok for The DNC to not follow the rules but everybody else has to follow your interpretation of the rules.
In the agreement that was put in place when Michigan and Florida moved up there primaries it called for a re-vote. That was put in place incase what we have happening happened. The one breaking the rules is Obama who hired lawyers to block any form of a re-vote.

All the states need to be heard and if Obama gets the nomination with out MI and Fl the whole demicratic process is a farse

By the way it was Obama who campainged he ran an ad in FL

This has always been a contest of facing the truth versus going with the convenient fantasies of typical American politics. Do we want to live in a continually corrupt, decaying make-believe world of petty distractions and self-indulgent, vindictive game playing or take on the real world of problems that need urgent attention? It's time to grow up and elect a mature, rational leader for the future. That's Mr. Obama.

I hope that Obama win

There were more than 1.5 mil people voted in FL, to say that because of a date issue those voters are not important that is very wrong. And if the democratic party does not find a way to make this process fair to those voters they are going to lose FL in the general election. I for one a Floridian if my vote does not count in the primary, they will have to win the general election with out my vote. I will not vote for either Obama or Clinton. I will even go as far as to vote for Mccain just to teach the democratic party a lesson.

The pollsters can poll all they want but the maths are what there are; Obama (at the very least) will be the democratic Nominee, period. Hillary has run out of playing field this time around should try again in 8 years!

Hilary will lose indiana

Delegates win the nomination, not polls.

The media is driving this presidential campaign. They are giving way too much airtime to Rev. Wright. They are giving way too little airtime to the gaffs by Bill Clinton. They want to call the shots. I give up.

T;here is something refreshing about Senator Clinton's proposals for additional debates with only she and Obama sharing the stage…..no interrupting moderators…..just the two of them and tv cameras. Her suggestions for dividing the number of questions between them is also right on. Obama's answer that he would rather talk to the voters is THE ACTUAL REASON WHY WE NEED THE TWO OF THEM IN A ROOM WITHOUT VOTERS AROUND. Do you want Obama's views on issues impacting this country and all of us? "Go to the Obama website," we are told. The Obama campaign team is way off base if they think I would be satisfied with that….rather than hearing it directly from him……..kind of late to be trying to be putting flesh on the old horse called "Change." If you are at all interested in campaigning, Senator Obama, and interested in the voters, I suggest that it is time you stood up like a man….and debated this woman.

Clinton's the one with ideas and solutions. Obama is clueless. It took five years for people in this country to wake up to what GW was doing and I cannot understand what people see in Obama. If he's elected we get what we deserve.

I am with Obama till the end, whatever the "end" might be. I think he would be good for the American people. Unfotunately the Mainstream Media (MSM) somehow feels covering Rev. Wright is more important than covering Obama talking to the people of Indiana and NC.

PLEASE read ‘Hillary Strangelove’ article in Boston Globe on Sunday.

It talks about Hillary’s statement on April 21st, when she said she’d nuke Iran if Iran attacked Israel.

Evidently, her irresponsible threat made headlines all over the world but it has been ignored by the US TV networks.

Are Rev. Wright's statements more important to America than Hillary's?

I hope she takes Indiana and CNN keeps playing Rev. Wrights hate speech's. LOL

Hillary will not win in the end.
Bill & Hillary only care about thier blind ambition. The hell with the rest of the democratic party.

I couldn't understand why Obama would lose in the polls with the press being so fair to him….

No one but Hillary wants to see another debate of the same issues that they really dont' disagree on…21 is enough!

Obama is not afraid or whiney… he just wants to stop wasting time.

You people need to get with the program "if Obama is the nominee I am voting for McCain and vice versa"…that is so stupid if you are a democrat. Democrats need to unite!

When you get older and need care from your children they will shun you for letting them live a life of agony and dispare from voting for McCain and he wins.

There is a nice video - Obama behnd the scenes that may be on MSNBC. His entire platform and support , and speech writer are young energetic people who happen to be white. These young people are refreshing and have motivated me to take a look. I supported Edwards before being approached by an Obama supporter - and then I went to here him talk.

I am hooked.

This is the first time in my 50 plus years that I have been interested in an election since Bill Clinton ran against Bush and now:

- I do not care for Bill, though voting for him twice
- I am very disappointed in the clear attacks on Obama
- I am finally proud of America - and hopeful for a better America, spearheaded by these young Obama supporters.

Saying I am finally proud of America doesn't mean I don't have alligence for America. I love America - I just have not been proud of how we have conducted our internal and external business.

My being AA, educated, well traveled, does influence these comments.

Clintons with their develish tricks working overtime!

Hillary, her surrogates and the media can sensationalize this all they want, but it's great to know that all the Hillary games and spinning will be OVER in June and we can all move on to the general election contest between Obama and McCain!

We will all breath a sigh of relief when we realize how close we came to electing the same 2 families to run this country for 32 years!!!!

Is it just conincidence that CNN continually publish these poll or polls when Obama is in a trough of support? Polls go up and down, but the one item in all polls which has been very consistent over the last 2-3 months is that Clinton's unfavorable ratings have consistenly been over 53%, making her un electable.

Why isn't CNN reporting this?

it will serve the party and the whole of America well, if the clintons will pull out of the race. Mrs. Clinton is causing more harm to the democratic party and America. It's time she has to bow out and save the party, what are the party executives doing? cann't they sense the harm this woman is causing the party? are they afraid of the Clintons? Party delegates and superdelegates, if you want the party to win the November elections then kick Hilary out, she can never, never win against McCain. Mr. Obama is your chance to win the white house.

Rev. Wright:

There has been no attacks on black churches as you say. Your the one who hates white people….the attack is on you and you alone. Why do claim that Mr. Obama is a black candidate? Mr. Obama who is also part white, is trying to get away from you and your rants…..The old saying is "less is much".

Neither Indiana or North Carolina will be important as these two states will not go Democratic in the general election. Indiana hasn't gone to a Democrat since the 1960s. Obama's campaign likes to claim they've won more states, but these states are ones that will never go Democratic in the general election and thus mean nothing.

just sent the Obama campaign a check today!

for Obama supporters you can go to Barack Obama [info@barackobama.com] and double the impact of your pledge today.
check it out.

take a deep breath and keep on rolling.

no to McCain and no to Hillary.

we're the ones we've been waiting for.

Missouri

She saw a bump in support as a result of the Penn Win. Which anyone would have been able to predict. Frankly, Obama has been the one at the focus of many attacks and attention since he became the front runner. However, he hasn't changed the way his campaign has run. Can we rise above the negativity and unite under a common purpose and move forward? Who is the best person to help our county do this?

Great headline CNN Obama's support fading? Just another example of your constant Obama bashing which started over a month ago and shows no sign of letting up. I think I am going to switch to MSNBC, at least Keith Olberman is non-biased.

Maybe people are waking up to the fact that he is just another Tony Robbins giving a "life coaching" speech.

At some point, people notice an empty suit. There are so many
people with buyers remorse out there.

I don't think people can't handle the idea of finally having an intelligent person in the White House. Hillary seems to be a selfish individual that uses divisive political tactics and the people fall for it. It would be nice to have four years of a President who can actually come up with solutions to the problems our country faces. I think Obama is that exeptional individual that can solve the country's foreign and domestic problems. I think he is truly is a decent individual that will look out for the people instead of the lobbyist and corporations.

Hillary won PA by 9.2% not 10% AND Barack knew he wasn't going to win PA. Hillary was ahead by 22% BUT Barack closed it to 9.2%, so you could say he won in his own right. And, if Barack would have won PA that would of said a lot about Hillary not winning in her home state. If she is so great, she should of won PA by at least 50%. Think about it.
I'm sick and tired of all these debates and yet Hillary wants another. Why, so she could try and pulverize Barack. She swears she's the man because she had two biased journalist on her side. 3 against 1. Wow, that sounds fair. It had to take 3 people to go up against 1 man. Sounds like bullies to me…..If Barack would debate Hillary one on one, he would have her crying and going into a tantrum with her tail in between her legs. Then, she would saying, "Wah, Wah, He's beating up on me." Hillary, be careful what you ask for.
And those who are for Hillary in Indiana, make sure she wears her sniper gear. You don't want her to have to dodge those sniper shots!
And yes, Obama, we love you. You are one strong human being. All that dirt and mud that's being thrown at you, you manage to wash it right off and keep on moving. Barack, you are the only candidate that is for ALL people even if some are so narrow minded and don't realize it. Obama 08!!!!!!!!!

Hilarry can't run the country, be real, look at her slanderous campaigns, she's just like the GOP, Obamma has stayed above the fray, and that lack of consternation will ultimATELY USHER IN A NEW LEVEL OF POLITICS AND TEAM WORK, WATCH. Hillary is old blood, this country was founded by young men!

Jesse -

So we're no allowed to lump Obama and Wright together but you can create one person our of Bill and HIllary?

I cannot wait until McCain wins.

Why would Indiana vote different than PA?? I am an Obama supporter and I have learned that this will NOT be done until June, so that's when I am going to get involed again. This is just spin from the media.

Obama is ahead according to all metrics. Also, due to Clinton's unfavorability rating, Obama is best suited to win the general election. I haven't seen a poll yet that disputes this. It could change, of course. Lots of things change, but we work from the best info we have at the time.

So, Clinton supporters, with all due respect, tell me why, again, Clinton should be the nominee? Just because you like her better? That's all well and good, but how does that help us in November?

Folks that say Clinton has a better chance of beating McCain, where are your numbers? Because we're obviously looking in different places.

I will vote for whoever wins. Democrats '08!!!!

Obama supporters don't want Michigan and Florida to have a voice because the voice would say no to Obama. Neither candidate will win the 2025 delegates without the super delegates. Let all the states have a voice and then the super delegates can decide. That decision should be based on the popular vote of all the states and territories. Including Michigan and Florida.

Badly written. You need to hire a proof reader.

GO HILLARY CLINTON YOU ARE A GREAT CANIDATE AND VERY STRONG AND TOUGH FIGTER THat's what we want.. OBAMA NEEDS TO DROP OUT MAN
YOU CANT STAND THE HEAT GET OUT KITCHEN…LIKE TRUMAN SAID
ALSO..ALL CANDIDATE NEEDS DEBATE TO GET A STRONG AND GET QUESTIONS…ANSWER..THAT'S HOW PRESIDENT IS..HE CANT HANDLE 1-1 QUESTIONS HE IS SCARYING QUESTIONS

Shame on American press for putting this man down.

Jay Says, "Time for you to drop out. Serious, just go away and take your bitter fans with you also."

Yeah, good idea. He can drop out and say he's leaving in the interest of the party. Can you imagine the backlash against Hillary and her hate-filled campaign? Can you imagine the backlash against Dean and Pelosi for allowing her to keep going even though she lost the nomination in February?

Obama's "Bitter fans" will leave, and all that Hillary will have are her uneducated followers who aren't smart enough to tell she's a self-serving monster… And the geratric crowd. Of course ma and pa clinton supporters aren't long for this world. When they're gone, all that'll be left are disenfranchised young voters who no longer supprt the stupidity of the democratic party.

So, if Obama drops out, we're left with never-ending republican, right-wing, rule.

Is that really what you want, Jay?

Or are you just bitter that Hillary lost the nomination?

Obama cannot win in November. Unelectable guy with lots of baggage

Truly, the people who are calling for either candidate to drop out before all the primaries are done is insulting the states left. This is a race: if people don't finish a race it's because they fall down and can't move any more. Neither candidate seems ready for that. In the meantime party registration is reaching new highs. We'll still have two months to get sick of fighting between McCain and whomever if it goes to August. And no one now will win without the SD, so they should have the most data (votes) to make the best decision.

In the End Obama will win. Lets remember that he is an underdog beating the well known Clinton machine. It is mighty funny when you have an X President doing speeches for you and you're still losing. This advantage enables you to be in 2 places at 1 time. Oh! You can add her daughter as well. The truth is that the majority of the people in the US do not want the Clintons back in the White House. This have to be a fact because technically Hillary should be winning. She had a big lead in the beginning, so what happen. The White House has been sanitize and cleaned since Bill was last there. We don't need no more of his or her dirt back in the White House. As far as the PA win. She was leading by 20 but only won by actually 9.4. If its less than .5 you round down people. Obama still had more than one million votes. You haters need to wake up for sure.

Obama 08
Yes We Can.

Hillary's goal is to win by any means necessary and have a third term in the White House. She has done almost everything but Slapped Obama and McCain. She has Cried and Lied already I am waiting…

NORTH CAROLINA WILL GO O.B. 'S WAY BECAUSE ITS MOSTLY ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT MAKE HIS VOTES. THIS WHOLE RACE IS JUST WHAT IT IS (RACE). GO HRC

This is news? She won PA, as she was expected to, so why shouldn't her numbers go up? However, Obama is still ahead of her by 6 or 7 points (see poll averages on Real Clear Politics), and that number will probably go up depending on next Tuesday's vote in IN and NC

Could someone please explain why, if there are two states' primaries next week, the smaller is the crucial? Is this just another Hillary spin so if she pulls off a 2 point win in Indiana, coupled with a 7-10 point loss in North Carolina, it's a "good day" for her?

The numbers are the numbers, Obama will be ahead in popular votes and delegates when the primary season ends. All Hillary is doing at this point is dividing the democratic party and making it easier for McCain. She uses "kitchen sink" politics and then decries Obama as weak or complaining when he refuses to abandon his positive and uniting approach to politics.

Obama should, no must, be the nominee. Any result which ignores the popular vote will only serve to alienate the younger generation of democrat, upon which this Country will need to rely for decades to come. Any attempt to characterize Michigan or Florida as wins for Hillary will have the same result. I am a 30-something Floridian, and I can tell you that many of my peers elected not to participate in the primary because they were told that their votes did not count. Any claims made about those two states simply represent an effort to ignore the rules. But what else should we expect from someone desperate for a win, not for their country, not for the party, but for themself?

It's time for the mega-ego that is Clinton to finally do what's best for the party, it's time for change.

Clinton needs to win both NC and Indiana to have a chance, she might have a chance if NC is close, but then she should win Indiana with a large margin (5-10% at least).

Realclearpolitics has Obama ahead with 3% in indiana and around 15% in NC. If the results are similiary to these average polls, then Hillary is done for sure.

Obama is ahead with over 150 delegates pledged delegates. There are 9 competitions left with a total of 408 pledged delegates. Indiana, Guam and NC totals 191, which means there are 217 left after may 6th. Obama will probably lead big in pledged delegates after may 6th and the victory would probably be definite after may 20th. Several undecided superdelegates has said that they wil choose the candidate with the most pledged delegates, everyone knows this will be Obama, but the supers will wait until it is definite. So, If Clinton don`t withdraw after may 6th and Obama doesn`t plunge against Hillary and Mccain in the polls, then the primary will probably be decided after May 20th when dozens of supers will choose Obama because he has won the pledged delegate counts.

"This big state theory is bogus, Obama won Illinios, and Iowa. It seems the only "big" states that matter are the ones Hillary puts her spin to."

Brandon you are a moron to think that iowa is a big state, there are more cattle than people. illinois is his home state, in which he was expected to win. So it seems that your the one that is putting the spin on, long story short sit down and shut up!

We still back you Barack, don't pay attention to the polls, we even picked up one more delegete for you yesterday in the 2nd congressional dist, here in Iowa. Yes we still can, and will. We know Hillary is a liar, and she will not help us you will. Obama 08. We will not stop hoping even with Hillary's Rovian tactics. Obama the man with the plan.

why are you Clinton supporters so intent on over turning the inevitable? Do you really think you can win the war in November by dividing the Dem party now? You are obviously naive. Get with the program.

we need someone who is going to beat mccain. mccain is too old for the presidency . I think it could be Obama. Clinton should have been more truthful . This was side of her that was not appealing.

Obama could be a little more ""tuff"….he comes off a little to mild

I will never understand the people who don't realize how special of a candidate he is.

Obama 08

At this point, Clinton, McCain and Obama all look like out of touch elitists that are clueless to any socio-economic group other than their own or those above their own group.

When an opinion poll favours the Clintons,its Hoeraaaaa.When it does not favour them,its "It does not matter."
OBAMA 08

some people will believe anything,if it gives them hope for their candidate.the fact is ,it is mathematically impossible for hillary to win enough delegates,unless obama implodes,and i'm sorry,but the supporters of obama,are supporters for change,and no other candidate even knows what that change means.they are stuck in their politics and policies ,of the past,because that is how they learned to be politicians.this is a different politics ,that obama is offering,and the stiff-shirts just do not know how to respond to hope and inspiration,so,they use the negative personal attacks that they always have used when no other tactic works.hillary may be destroying the democratic party, she portends to support and wants to lead in the fall,all because of her lust for power.she has not changed with the times,and is therefore the candidate who is 'out-of-touch,and 'elitist'.

actually, Hillary won by (as reprted on CNN) 9.32%. My grade 2 math teacher was pretty clear in her instructions that any number below .5 is roundes down - not up. 9,32% rounds to 9% not 10%!

the more we know about nobama, the less we like him. That is the lesson we are learning. He should have known all of this would come up. or did he think it could all be swept under the rug. It did take a while for the things about him to come out and now they are just flowing. Its time for americans to take another look at this smooth talker!!!!!because thats all he is. Maybe the states that voted before all of his friends came "out" should vote again, then we would see who is ahead!!!!

Obama needs to get out of the way of a true fighter that can beat McCain in November.. Go Hillary!!!

"In that poll, Obama holds a 7 point lead over Clinton. That margin is more than half of the 19 point lead Obama held in a similar Newsweek poll"

Let's see, half of 19 is 9.5. How is 7 more than 9.5? Yet another reason not to buy into anything the media says about the polls. Remember, 98.6 percent of all statistics are made up. OBAMA '08

Why do NEWS polls allways try state a "dead Heat" tie? Both with Obama and Hilary, and now with McCain. I can not be the truth, the world does not work that way. Besides the fact that McCain was obsolete 5 months ago, he has done nothing different that would change peoples mind. The news needs to stop using Polls to sway an election. Report the FACT NEWS and let the election happen as intended.

The older I get the less I feel this democracy functions as intended. Stick to the principles, Stay on the issues. I feel fortunate to not Rely on the News for my News. To bad because it is important to a realistic society.

Obama would probably be doing a lot better if we could get the Reverend Wright business OUT OF THE WAY and BEHIND US! You would think he was running for political office instead of Obama.

Please Mr. Wright–ByeBye!

Past Presidents: BUSH, CLINTON, CLINTON, BUSH, BUSH

Now its time for Clinton again. Wake up America vote for Clinton and lets keep the trend.

Future: Clinton, Clinton, Jeb Bush, Bush, Chelsea Clinton, Clinton

GO AMERICA.

whatime April 28th, 2008 10:57 am ET

We will win Indiana and North Carolina…….

Obama 08
===========================

Even if that does happen he would not win the Presidency.

Thanks Dean for the really bad screw up by costing the Dems the Presidency.

Obama is lucky that Super Tuesday was scheduled before everyone knew about him. McCain 08!!
