One thing I know for sure, I will not be taken for granted by the Democtratic Party. The Clinton sect, has turned me off. If Obama is not the Democratic standard bearer, I will vote for local Democrats but not for her as President. If the Super Delegates vote for Clinton, then I will encourage my friends to serious look at a third party for relief. If the Demo's don't want my kind of politics, they don't want me.

Hillary was in a statistical tie with McCain. There are two polls within a span of two days that have two different outcomes. Try to be fair cnn. Obama can use that poll to show he is electable.

The same thing happended with PA polls last week. If I were a media exec, I might be tempted to play that game. I'm not mad, they need to make a living too. I just think we have a responsibility as consumers of media to think critically about the stories and polls we see. Fortunately, many people realize that polls can vary based on a lot of factors. These people take time to cross-reference with other sources to get the complete picture. Unfortunately, there are too many people that believe the media, and rhetoric from political candidates for that matter, without further thought or investigation. That's what scares me about the upcoming general election. Who here is surprised that the media focuses on one poll or another to keep the drama and ratings going for this close primary?

After much negative campaigning by Billary, many people are naturally going to be moving toward McCain. Wait until Obama is the Dem nominee and then see the double-digit advantage he will have over McCain. McCain's age and radical GOP policies are showing. Obama is the ONLY one who represents true CHANGE. Nobody can argue against this fact. When Billary are finally out of the picture, all Democrats will have more hope. I know it's audacious, but there actually is a better, more optimistic, option than Hillary Rodham Clinton. And it's not McCain. Yes, that's if the election were held TODAY.

I believe the Republicans are putting this out there because they KNOW they cannot beat Obama, but that, with all the baggage the Clintons have, and the horrible things that they have been accused of, the finance, whitewater, etc., that they feel that, when they bring all this dirt out again on the Clintons that McCain will have a better chance of beating her. The problem is that the Clintons don't see this and truly as they continue to divide the party, the Democrats will not be able to do much with the Republicans. No matter what they say, this party will never be united, and will lose this chance to take the White House back. The Clintons do not care. Obama does not need to debate her again, folk are tired. Obama has had to hold himself because she is a woman, and can't really say a lot of things out of respect, so if he debates her again, expecially without a moderator, she will never let him finish a sentence, therefore, cutting across him and making it seem as though he is incompetent.

It is only April. After May 6, you will see a decline. Lets be real for a moment. I hear solutions of America. I hear I will fight for you. I hear I am not a quiter. Why don't we have universal health care? The fighter with solutions did not get it done. She is doing well by dividing the Democratic party. Blue Collar vs African Americans. Poor vs Elite. You need them all to win. She has set herself up for failure because her enemies are waiting. They want another shot at Clinton. The polls show the upswing of her PA victory. It is only April.

I guarantee it. If Obama gets the nod, I will not only vote, I will donate time and money to his campaign and he will win. I guarantee that, too.

This is the first poll, in months, that has shown her above Obama against McCain, and she's above by 9 points? I would seriously want to see the methodology that the AP and Ipsos used, as well as whether AP reporters have given to the Clinton campaign recently. Special Interests in the Press? Naaah, that would never happen. I wonder who asked for/paid for these polls. This is the first poll, in months, that has shown her above Obama against McCain, and she's above by 9 points?

Hillary is so blinded by her self centeredness that she can’t see the damage done to Obama, the DEM party or USA for that matter. It’s sad that she controls the media by telling them what to think and say and to top it off smack in your face America this elitist self is telling Americans you are not smart enough to figure it out let me define Obama for you “he’s not what you think he is”. Do any of you ever expect her to say anything good about Obama. Wakeup America!!

Wright. People should have the common sense to separate a politician from a minister. If they put Hillary up you can count on many african americans staying home only because she can't just win by the white votes alone. She'll need the African American votes to help her win.
