I love the wisdom of the "Uncle Sam" posts.

This one was too complex for the smart and educated Obama supporters to grasp... so I am reposting it to give them another crack at informed reasoning.

Uncle Sam April 29th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

True believers in an Obama presidency are prepared to support their candidate regardless of the growing number of questions being raised about him. They would have us believe that everything we need to know about Barack Obama can be found on his website or in his autobiography. Only what Obama tells us about himself is to be believed. Anything else is a manufactured political distraction. So what are you going to believe – the Obama script or your lying eyes?

Change you can believe in…….change I can believe in…….

Clinton supporters,

Don't you ever ask yourselves why the GOP is running ads against Obama? They want Hillary to win the nomination. Then all the skeletons Obama has kindly left undisturbed in her closet will come toppling out. Between her confrontational personality and her legacy of lies and scandals, she is simply not electable. If you want to end Bush policies, it's time to let go of your racial fears and embrace Obama as the Democratic candidate.

Wow, it'd be interesting to see what the difference would be if the media did it's job for the better part of the past year and actually released the true information along time ago about the messiah-wannabe, BHO.

Bonn............ the Clintons didnt seek out Rev. Wright for anything, they had a prayer breakfast at the White House, which they do every year, and hundreds of religious people from all over the country get invited.
That's how Reb Wright ended up in those photos. The Clintons did not even know him, or I'm sure he would not have been invited.

Isn't strange how Obama is "angry" today and not yesterday about Rev. Wright's comments? It was only last night the panel on CNN strongly suggested that Obama has to show anger in an attempt to make this debacle go away. I hope Americans are not so naive.

obama is the greatest...hillary is a liar

There's no accounting for the general lack of intelligence of the American people...as an ad writer, I'm constantly reminded to "dumb down" my messages to a 7th grade mentality.

Not because that's ALL that American's are...but because that's where the AVERAGE lies. A national 7th grade mentality.

Hillary Clinton's base, her constituency is far more representative of the American's bringing down the bell curve. THIS is not a criticism–every person deserves to be heard-however, don't we think it's about time we tried to elevate the game of our leadership? Don't we think it's time we demanded more serious insight from every American?

I want someone smarter than most of us. I want someone who doesn't feel the need to resort to the same old, same old to get things done. I want a leader who represents what we could be one day. I don't want to have a beer with the President–I want him or her to represent our better Angels–to be a beacon of hope instead of fear, fear-mongering or blatant pandering to our more animal instincts.

Because things AREN'T getting done, folks...and no matter how smart or dumb you are–America KNOWS something is deeply broken here.

Electing the same kind of people for the same failed reasons and somehow expecting things to CHANGE...well? That is the height of ignorance.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain are, sadly, more of the same. More of what got us here in the first place. Wake up, people. Before it's too late. Hope is possibility, you know.

Bon writes:........."The Clintons sought out Rev. Wright's counseling during the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. Surely the Rev. can't be that bad……can he????"

Where did you get that idea, Bon?? The Clintons sought out Billy Graham for counseling. I think one instance was found where Clinton had his pic taken with Wright at some sort of meeting, just as Clinton has had his pic taken with thousands and thousands of people. Doesn't mean he even knew who Wright was, and certainly not that they were even acquaintances, let alone friends.

Nothing like picking and choosing which poll to use to make sensational headline. Why not use the Rasmussen Reports Poll that shows that Barack Obama is ahead 49 to 41 and has maintained that consistantly for a few weeks? Why not include the following information from Rasmussen Reports?-–

"Obama’s ratings are now 52% favorable and 45% unfavorable. His numbers are improving among Democrats.

For Clinton, the reviews are 45% favorable, 54% unfavorable"

We all know independents vote Republican! There is nothing independent about that.

Its funny how the Obama supporters say the election is over but neither can Obam reach 2025 delegates so let the last nine states vote and beginning of June one of the two will have to drop and let the superdelegates do their job.

Am I sensing panic from the Obama people??

There's only one candidate that's reaching across all the party lines...,

and it ain't a democrat!

THE TIDE IS TURNING!!!

Thank you PA voters, Gov. Easley, and Rev. Wright

Obama just made a fatal mistake with his handling of Rev. Wright. His actions over the past few months on the issue of Rev. Wright have run from Denying there was a problem, through Denouncing his words, to now just plain Upset over the words his Mentor has said about him.

Pick something and stick with it, Obama! Is he your Mentor, your Religious Campaign leader or just your version of Bill Clinton? Your actions in this matter show that you just don't have a handle on your campaign.

Simply saying,
Wynter

Given enough time his own words will continue to show people what he really stands for and bring his number even lower. Either Clinton will come out ahead or McCain will win the Presidency over him. Either way, Obama has no chance of being the next President's as more people see him for who he is truly is.

Gallup is the ONLY poll where Hillary is close.

Rasmussen has Obama up 8 and all of the others have him up at least 3. The RCP average is Obama +5.

The only math that matters right now does NOT look good for Hillary!

There is no legitimate path to the nomination, but because the Clinton's are such gangsters...she can slways steal it!

I can't believe that some people still want a Bush/Clinton family dynasty led by such crooked people. We may as well be in Cuba!

Obama 08!

HILLARY WILL LOSE!!!!!-BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT SHES TRYING TO DESTROY OBAMA'S CHANCE OF WINNING BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO RUN IN 2012.THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR HER.THIS IS ABOUT POWER!!! I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE ALSO.AT THE END OF THIS SHE WILL NOT ENDORSE HIM EITHER,AND HER EXCUSE WILL BE BECAUSE MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA WAS NOT HANDED TO HER.THE SCARY THING IS SHE MAY ACTUALLY USE THIS TO RUN AS A LIBERAL IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.SHE HAS THE ATTITUDE OF "IF I CANT HAVE IT,NO ONE ELSE WILL"!!! I LIVE IN NEW YORK WHERE SHE HOLDS A SENATE SEAT.SHE HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THIS STATE,SO FOR HER TO BE TOUTING ALL THAT SHES GONNA GET DONE FOR THE COUNTRY IS JUST LUDICROUS.SHE'S A LIAR AND SHE NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED. AS A NEW YORKER I'LL TELL YOU HILLARY IS SELLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A DREAM.ONCE AGAIN, SHE'S THE BIGGEST LIAR SINCE GEORGE W.BUSH.ALL THE FOOLS THAT ARE VOTING FOR HER ARE VOTING FOR FOOL'S GOLD.SHE'S A DISGRACE TO NEW YORK AND THE COUNTRY!!!

Go Obama, GO !!! I switched from Hillary to Obama just recently, can't stand her anymore !

Hillary is the best candidate.Period.

As for the press conferance with about Wright. Obama still shows he lacks judgement. He stayed in that church for over 20 years, he still attends that church. Wright is still involved with that church. This man did not become a nut over night and if Obama didnt know about his comments, its shows poor judgement on his part. Plus, he lied about it and is now trying to distract us. Michelle Obama seems to be the one influenced most by Wright, look at some of her comments and her college thesis and you can see it. Michelle will be Baracks ear in the white house and I feel they have both been influenced by Wright to a degree. Obama is playing polltics with this and its now back firing.

Do some research and don't lose focus that Obama knew very well what Wright was all about, but still kept him close. No press conferance and back peddeling will change that. Period.

ITS GOING TO BE OVER SOON.

HILLARY IS RUNNING OUT OF

CHARACTERS TO PLAY.

SHE WAS A SOLDIER, PRESIDENT,

DIPLOMAT, COMMON, HONEST & SINCERE

PERSON. NOT MUCH ELSE LEFT TO PLAY.

This is called a democracy and it is good for our country. We have two good candidates running for the nomination. I am a Hillary supporter and proud to be one, too. Why do some of you have to be so disrespectful to the Clintons. They have done more for our country than all of you put together. Stop the hyperboles and including everyone in your opinion, since it is not a fact. Hillary is someone who will fight for the American people. She has done it in the past for children and will continue to do it for everyone. Obama is my second choice, but as you notice I do not have to write rude remarks. It is called being mature.

Get rid of him QUICK...before its too late and we're all screwed.

I hope nobody really puts too much stock in this poll. It will absolutely change right after next Tuesday when Obama wins North Carolina by a decisive margin and the Indiana contest goes either way razor thin.

The PA victory has allowed Hillary a little boost in this matchup but it won't stay that way.

As a Canadian, I hope the American people wake up and do what is right. For 8 long years your allies have had to put up with being talked down to or bullied by Bush. It is time that you elect someone who can heal the damage that Bush has caused to once great frienships. You can see by their words, actions and the way they carry themselves that McCain and Clinton are going to be exactly the same as Bush. Obama's quiet strength, and diplomatic qualities is what your nation and allies need to get us through the troubling events that face our world.
When Obama talks, he always says "we". When McCain and Clinton talk they always say "I". "I" is not going to change things, but maybe "we" can.

More bad news for dems.... We just can't help but help those dirty Republicans.

Obama, we are strongly behind you!

A lot of people have allowed thier emotions lead them...Barrack Obama will and cannot be a good US president..The democrats will be making a big mistake if they dont back Hillary Clinton..who i think stand a better chance in the general elections.

The one that dosn't get it is the media and there persistance in keeping the paster story alive. They don't have enything else to minpulate.

Media (all of you ) start dealing with issues and not tabloide garbage. It is over with tha paster.
Lets concentrate on what is important to the American poeple, after all they pay the media wages in our viewing and comercials and we want our problems addressed.

please

To Obama supporters!
It's sad to explain people abt what's main difference between Obama & Clinton. He is not at all comparable with Hillary. She worked for 80 nations, countless social works, foreign pilicies, more than decades of political knowledge. And Obama……..shame…just making people fool just by giving a pseudo imaginary hope deam…..Does he alone change the US? No, can't.because he is a part of US politics.where he has to work with his super delegates, and domecratic members……so how does he make a difference….? Can he leave his super delegates? No, he can't………and most of super delegates will use him to get many undue previleges……..so how can he make a difference……..
Just imagine, whole world is dependent on US policies, economy…..If US is under some unexp guy, then how can he run world's toughest job at whitehouse?
It's know to us that he is comfortable to reply to questions, even felt irritated to argue with journalists? If that's his patienece level, then how can we expect Obama to lead that toughest job……..am in doubt……..
Obama is leading just becoz of balck voters and most of young………So what's his social image among supporters? He brought racisim in this race…….so just forget him………….
Just think of Hillary………a great women with huge potential and sensitivity……

Chris, you have to bring people together in order to get anything done. Hillary's campaign so far has been "divide and conquer". We are not electing a queen. Give Obama more credit. He continually fights the odds and admits mistakes. Hillary knows policies and she is promising everything. Does she forget this is not a Kingdom but a democracy? Come on now! We are just getting over King George and now you want Queen Hillary. You are blinded by your lust.

The more I see of Obama I just don't know who this person is.

Dead Even!

Most everyone I know is going Hillary, Obama said " Wright is Like an Uncle to Him" and lets face it, we don't need a Farakon Deciple in the
White House.

This is pure political expediency...Obama is a Rap Artist, with a more
eloquent Rap and " with a dominant 2&4 beat " per wright...

go hillary obama and his pastor will rot together

If a nominee doesn't emerge soon, we will be doomed to live with a Republican president for another 4 years.
Every democrat that I know says that if Clinton gets the nom, they're voting republican.
4 more years in Iraq? Sure our tax base can support it.
Get out and vote!

Obama MAY be the nominee...but he will NOT be President!

He's got so much baggage...and more coming out every day, that the Superdelegates just may decide that he cannot get elected. We'll see.

Hillary, from doing everything from subverting the democratic process (in the Democratic party!) to agreeing to appear on O'Reilly, is demonstrating an absence of ethics that threatens to destroy the party and hurt the country. Act, superdelegates, act!

Keep it up Hillary!!

You know i'm fed up with all you Obama supporters taking this whole campaign so bloody personal.

it almost seems like you're getting paid by this Divisive man to badly insult not only Clinton, but everyone else supporting her.

Not even Clinton supporters act as badly towards Obama.

You all sound like little evil children, who can't get their way in the playground, so they bicker and hurt people.

If that's the kind of change Obama is talking about – i.e. division amongst Americans, then i want nothing to do with it – that's the last thing this country needs

Not like i ever wanted anything to do with Obama, but all this just confirms that Hillary is our best option.
Not for personal reason (like you Obamafans tend to take things) but for the sake of my nation and its prosperity.

Go Hillary!!

NO TO OBAMA

GO CLINTON

More Delegates + More States Won + More Votes = NOMINEE

Those are the rules Hillary agreed to last year.

LET'S BE HONEST HERE: Hillary didn't care about the people of FL and MI last year when SHE AGREED to not counting them. She now only wants them because she needs the votes and Barack wasn't on the ballot in MI. (And she still didn't get 50% of the vote...lame). She doesn't care about the people in the 35 states she lost, the states with caucuses, the black vote. the young vote, or the majority of the newly registered democrats. As she said, "The way I count, I'm ahead."

(And by the way, Bill didn't get elected by winning the white vote...he lost them...he won with the black vote...look it up!)

Hep, even after Rev. Wright ! Go Obama!

I remain loyal and supportive of Barack Obama. From the first time I heard the man speak in ILL., I felt he was destine for " GREATNESS " and I still do. Our country is in serious shape and change needs to happen.

clintons dived the best nation in this world
shaume clinton you are arogant

I have to wonder about Obama, what is going on with him. His spiritual advisor and friend for twenty long years really does not seem to support Obama at all. Is he really trying to warn americans about Obama. It seems to me that he will do anything to make sure Obama is not president. Why would he do that. Does he know something that we don't about Obama. I must say Rev. Wright is who he is...like him or not. He seems to be true to himself , unlike Obama who is Rev Wright's friend one moment then comes out and speaks about him negatively. I don't trust Obama. He is a scared little puppy now and will say anything to get elected now. Obama....drop out now. You can not be trusted!

Thank goodness, some of the cool aid drinkers and 18 to 25 year old "teenyboppers" are starting to figure out that Obama has a LOT of problems that we haven't seen a tenth of yet. Hopefully they will keep surfacing and people will realize Hillary is our only hope. GO, HILLARY!!

Hang is there Mr. Obama, God will see you through the storm. Continue to hold your head high and address the issues of the people because you are running a trustworthy campaign for all to see.

Obama's just following Karl Rove's advice. Seriously, read Rove's column. He says to do exactly this. They think that he's wounded and want to go against him now. Crafty Right Wing.

Obama is a good man, a good leader. Hillary? I do not know. Too many lies by her and her friends in the last few months have made me very confused.

Tie? I have 20 yrs education. I do not get it. Lies destroy friendship. Lies destroy a family. Lies destroy a country. Stop lies. Tell the nation the truth.

Sen. Obama, win or lose in this election, you are a winner. You are a decent human being, a winner forever. Skin color does not matter to me. What matter is your character, your heart, your brain.

Why do you only report the polls that best support Hillary? Yesterday and today you report Gallup's polls while the equally relevant Rasmussen polls show Obama with and 8 point lead. This is an obvious bias CNN. Shame on you.

To Obama supporters!

The scary thing is that only today is he outraged by Wright, not months ago when Wright said all the quotes we've heard played on the news over and over. The real reason Obama is doing this now is that he is realizing that this drowning his campaign. This is quintessential politics doing whatever is necessary to maintain power. It will be very interesting to see what Wright says in response to Obama's denouncements today.

I'm so sick of Obama supporters saying Hillary Clinton can't win. News Flash: Obama cannot win either. Does that register? Neither Clinton nor Obama have the delegate votes to win.

Clinton will lead in the popular vote if Michigan and Florida are counted. Obama wants to hold onto legalities to block those votes. Clinton has ballots from real voters. The superdelagates will decide the nominee – and they will need to weigh the voice of the people, even those that the Obama campaign wants to muzzle.

Are you kidding me? People are in love with the surface not the soul. Hillary is best positioned to lead us out of the black hole Bush put is in. There is no substance to Obama. When asked about Obama it is about him and not what he has done or plans to do. We love him – give me a break. What has he put forward?

If Hillary wins the nomination without the most delegates, the Democratic Party as we know it will be destroyed. The most loyal base of the party has historically always been from African Americans. Hillary can not win without them. They have been the only loyal democrats. Bush could not have won the last two elections (except for cheating) without democrats. The (beer drinking, gun toting, and deer hunting) Democrats that defected to Bush showed their loyalty to the party. But African Americans always stayed steadfast and voted for democrats. They will not vote for Hillary or McCain. African Americans now realize that no party has their interest at heart. They now have to rely on theri own skills, talents, and abilities to make change. They will all become independents. McCain will certainlyu win if Hillary wins the nomination.

Let me see, first he was not in the pews, didn't even know this man who married him, baptized his children, gave him the title of his book, held these views. That's a real big stretch. Maybe he's not the intellectual we all thought he was. Maybe he's really blind and deaf. Now Wright is no longer like a family member. Guess the crazy uncle has been disowned.

The two candidates might be locked in a statistical tie but, only one candidate can actually beat McCain in November and that is HILLARY CLINTON. NO, you don't have to like her or her husband but, if you want a democrat in the White House, you better get behind her campaign.

Obama is just starting to feel the racist heat in this campaign and if he is nominated, the temperature of racism will feel like the flames of hell. Senator Obama might be a fully compatant member of congress but, he is not electable on a national scale. Not in my lifetime and probably not in my grandchildrens lifetimes as well.

I'll vote for Senator Obama if he wins the democratic nomination but, then again I voted for Geroge McGovern and Bill Bradley only to watch both of those campaigns go down in flames.

I am interested in breaking the stranglehold of the GOP on American lives and want our best most electable candidate for the Democratic Party.

Why are the news hunger reporters – screaming about Bill and Hillary's Fraud case with Peter Paul. Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from Peter Paul for her 2000 Senate campaign.

Dear Cnn.
I have some comments regarding how you call; Obama is unelectable '.
When you choose Hillary Clinton, you think, McCain campaign wont
ask her tough question like; she love NAFTA, her position at Wallmart against workers union,fraud case in California,Ron Paul,Monica Levinski case,trip to Bosnia,flip and flops here and there. I dont think they will be
so polite and nice like Obama. They pray that she not Obama will be
their opposition. I am not for Obama nor Clintons {all three:Hillary,Bill and Chelsea campaign} but you will see. I dont mention question regarding her COLUMBIA 800000 $ money. Welcome MR.MCCain in
White Office. Big regards from Canada. Thank you.

Obama is losing support thanks to the Power-hungry Bosnia-lying McClinton machine. She has used every tactic on the Republican book to knock Obama out of course. She is willing to win at all cost. Obama has the most support and Hillary knows it, which is why she is trying to break the rules and stir up fear. I'm sorry, I'm a woman, I'm a Democrat, but voting for Senator Mike Gravel for President of the U.S. if Barack Obama loses to Hillary Rotten Crazy. Check Gravel out... I was supporting him before I met Obama.

Mike Gravel is going to run with the Liberitarian Party this November. Check his site, issues...Spread the word. Thanks.

If not Obama, Senator Mike Gravel 08.

God Bless America, because it's causing its own destruction.

Perhaps the ugliest truth in U.S. politics is that negative campaigning works. Hillary's comeback is just more proof of that. She's concerned first, last, and always with what she wants. She'll do anything, sacrifice the party's chances to get the presidency back, even savage someone she calls a "friend" to get elected president. If she thought Karl Rove would get her the nomination she'd hire him in a heartbeat.

While I'd never vote for four more years of trickle down Bush economics, "kill an Arab for big oil", or any aspect of chickenhawk foreign policy she's lost me permanently. I'll write in if she's nominated.

It is disapointing that CNN doesn't publish the latest North Carolina poll, showing Obama has a 14 point lead. If that holds he will have a net delegate gain of 14 which extends his elected delegate lead to 174 with only 217 remaining.

So forget all the spin, stick a fork in HILLARY and suggest she ride that flatbed truck back to Arkansas.

Why is NO one with a brain bigger than a bird not focusing on the big issue for this NATION:

How can America vote to return an "impeached family" (especially that the Clintons have and continue to lie to people in the nation) to that White House? Have we no shame, but rather more concerned with "wealth?"

This is a land of "opportunity." Unless you, me, and everyone else is given that "opportunity", no one will ever have the experience needed to make this nation move forward. This is about this nation, not an individual– Only Obama holds the real "American Dream" and the opportunity to open the door for you, me, and our children. We do not need a dynasty in this nation; even the British people are getting tired of the monarchy!

WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN NO HUMAN BEING BORN BY A WOMAN CAN STOP HIM NO WAY :
OBAMA RIDE ON MY BROTHER GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT THE HRC AND CO TRY TO DO :

OBAMA 08

Chris,

You are dilusional, Obama is the best candidate. Are you into liars, because that's what you will get with Hillary. She is not honorable, she is selfish and she lies. She lies. She lies. OMG, she lies.

How can anyone vote for a LIAR. She won't do half the things she says she'll do. And most the country hates her anyway, she can't bring unity to the DNC and she'll never bring it to the country.

Vote smart America, this woman is playing games. She has already lost, but she wants to lie to the superdelegates. Enough already...tick tock.

NIC – Hunter isn't a Clinton hater. He's/she's just speaking the truth. Sorry you find the truth so abhorent. No wonder you support Hillary – you're just like her.

If Obama doesn't agree with '"HIS"" minister why doesn't he attend another church/or get a new minister???OR IS THIS REALLY HOW oBAMA THINKS,ALSO?

Obama 08!

Just think of what the republican attack machine is going to do to either of them.
Face it, obama and hillary are doomed, and no I'm not a republican.

Obama is a good man, but the Republicans will have an easy victory due to Rev. Wright. I'm not saying it's right, but that's what's going to happen. Hillary fights back better and isn't afraid to go for the low blows herself. This is what we need. It's sad, but true. Obama just isn't tough enough to handle the Republican Political Machine.

North Carolina offers more delegate than Indiana and South Dakota combined. I think Obama is going more than compensate his losses in Penn and Indiana (if he losses by moderate margin).

Reality is Hillary has already lost. It's everything settled bar the shouting. Only way for Clinton to be nominated is to get the superdelegates overturn the victory of Obama and risk, unprecidented rioting in Black constituency all accross. And that's not gonna happen. So Hillary lovers, it's only gloom and doom for you what ever happens in Indiana. Oregon is still coming.

McCaine can easily be put on explaining stand later on to clarify Bush's mistake. He can easily be immerssed in that. So electability of Obama is very high.

A nonblack, non white realist

CNN – Your use of subliminal messages are not going un-noticed. Not only have you darkened the pic of Obama while leaving Clinton's light and bright (evil vs. good) you have CONTINUOUSLY kept this boring Rev. Wright story going for weeks. Notice under "Politics" the story is about Obama and Rev. WRight, while McCain's story is about healthcare. Let's get some REAL journalism going and talk about the REAL issues that affect us. Rev. Wright is only an issue to those who want to cast a negative cloud over a postive man like Obama.

Obama said the Rev Wright he saw yesterday is not the Rev Wright he's known for twenty years? How can he possibly believe that we're going to buy that statement? The more he speaks the more I don't trust the guy.

Clinton supporters – you all need to realize that she says whatever it takes her to win. When she was asked to step out of the race, she was enraged and rebuked at those who suggested her to get out. She mentioned that there are voices that needed to be heard and asked if state of Montana is not important...

NOW – get this... After her shallow victory in Pennsylvania, she boasted that big states are in her favor and claimed herself as a winner... Why did she say that she won big states and Obama did not? Does she mean that big states are important than small states?

Obama kept moving and expressed himself sincerely as a believer that he is to be a President without making a lot of remarks against Clinton.

HILLARY LIVES??? Well, she kept making a lot of negative remarks. Is that what a true leader supposed to be? She lost my vote...

OBAMA – don't give up!

Its time for the Obama supporters to start the healing process and tone down the anger – its destroying the party.
If we have any hope of winning the election in November, HIllary is the only choice for all democrats.

Please stop all you news media your are killing Obama I bet
hillliary loves you STOP STOP STOP lets get Obama for President jGod only knows we need him.

Obama will prevail. He is the best canidate.

Grif
You have mispelled the word there is no V. I suppose you wanted to write about Hillary LIES

I believe the DNC HAS a rule THAT ALL candidates agreed with before entering the race. NOw i do not know why the Clintons make the race so nasty.

Please understand. Obama denounced the comments not the man. He can not dissociate himself from Wright. Otherwise it will be hell to pay. Nothing like the wrath of a "pastor" scorned. Wright knows way too much about Obama and if Obama dare cross him, Wright will bring him down. Thats the bottom line.

The number one enemy of this country is its media (CNN etc.). I have no idea why they show this Wright over and over. Who is he?! Is he running for president! Let's talk about US debt, future energy issues, health care, education...

Indiana, please finish this! We are all tired of this. This country needs this great man to be president!

Deb April 29th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

After denouncing Rev. Wright today, Senator Obama will once again be the nominee in the lead as should be.
==========================

Uh..........................................Nope.

Whoever wins Indiana will be the nominee... BANK ON IT.

If Hillary wins there and keeps NC close – she will have the momentum. If Barack wins IN and NC (bigger than 9%) He will have the momentum to close the door.

Thanks to Rev Wright... looks like Hillary will squeak by Obama and his spiritual mentor.

This of course, will be ignored, denounced or explained away by the Obama supporters, pointing out that he has more electoral delegate votes locked up (as if that mattered, one needs 2, 025 to clinch, period.) than Clinton. By the way, check out the article below about Obama's press conference. Especially notice some Obama supporters practically BEGGING the reader to let this issue with Wright go. Why? Because they know it is damaging Obama's chances not only at the nomination, but the general election. I can't help but laugh when I see bloggers writing things such as "PLEASE, PLEASE let this Wright thing go!" I can just imagine them shedding tears on the keyboard, pulling their hair out, etc. It's funny to see them begging. And its also curious how Obama supporters are know turning their fangs on the mainstream media as Obama critics. See CNN, reporting the "wrong" thing, even if it is simply reporting a fact, will always bring out attackers from one side or another.

"I can no more disown him (Wright) than I can disown the black community." -Barack Obama several weeks ago

“He was never my spiritual adviser, he was never my spiritual mentor — he was my pastor.” -Barack Obama today

Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?

The nomination cannot be taken away from Obama. He's already won. HRC needs to bow out and unite with Obama and with all of us democrats. Come on democrats – with a team like Obama and Clinton WE CAN TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!!!! God knows neither of them are perfect, but it is obvious that BOTH have our best interest at heart (although HRC seems to be more power sick). Nevertheless – the American people need them BOTH.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!

I was a Hillary fan but now that I have finally heard Obama denounce this fool of a preacher of his for 20 years, I have now change my position and voting for the next president of the United States of America, Barack Obama!

NOT!

-Hillary '08

HILLARY!!! The tide is turning! We are electing a President, not a cheerleader. Hillary is the better choice

Last time I checked Hunter, Obama doesn't have enough delegates to win the nomination so he HASN"T won. All you idiots should stop listening to Obama's false hopes and support a candidate who can ACTUALLY do something instead of just talking about it.

Hillary 08

The superdelegates will give their vote to the candidate that will win in Nov Gen election...so history will be made with the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT Go Hillary 08

Too bad the ObamaPods have made it so difficult for Hillary supporters to support him should he be the nominee...but for all the virtiole spewed by the ObamaBots, Hillary supporters would've voted for him in the general...now many more are turned off by him because the negativity spewed by his supporters, that they will vote McCain or not at all...the ObamaMorons have ruined this election for the democrats who should have won it with their hands tied behind their backs....see ya'll in 2012!

Who are they polling? I will never vote for Hillary never, If she is the nominee my family and I will do a write in or something we just cannot vote for her she has been to nasty and she lies.

GO Obama!

Obama is severely damaged by the Good Ol' Reverend that won't go away, I think he its a lost cost, he will get eaten alive by the Republicans if he did win the nomination.
Hillary is looking better each day, Obama is damaged goods by his own doing and his own pastor. The pastor is a racist and is a nut job.
And now Obaby is throwing his pastor under the bus...finally after months of this nut job inciting the white vote. It is now a racial issue and Obaby is not going to make it.

wow... after the constant Obama-bashing by the Clinton machine and media, the very fact that Obama is still this high in the polls just proves he's the more resilient candidate

Obama studied Wright's tapes as a college student, sat in his church for 20 years and did not know what Wright's views were? Poor excuse for a future President! And poor time to try to lie. Hillary will be a great President.

First of all, hunter, according to the official party rules no one has the nomination yet because neither Obama nor Clinton have enough delegates to secure the nomination. No one has lost yet.

Secondly, Arkansas Undertaker, did you read this article at all?

Barrack cannot win against McCain, he comes with too much baggage. Vote Hillary to take the White House away from the Republicans. Don't waste your vote at a time like this.

oh my god, when is this going to be over. i think i won't turn on the TV and internet anymore until next wednesday. and if the outcome doesn't produce a winner then, i'll leave it off all together til nov! this is madness!

No votes for liars, Hillary will lose.

North Carolina and Indiana are smart, they know a liar when they hear one. Kick her to the curb, and let's move on to the general.

She'll be back in 2012, this woman will not go away. There's too much money at stake, too many books to sell, too much china to steal. And since we all know how selfish and greedy she is, we know she'll be back. Helping the people to Hillary is the biggest joke, but Barack will get the last laugh.

Keep going America, vote her out.

I voted today in the early voting in North Carolina for Senator Obama and look forward to the presidential elections so I can vote for President Obama !

This primary has become a joke. The media has created the illusion that Hillary still has a chance to win. She claims she wants everyone's voices heard, but even if we give her MI and FL as she wants, she will still trail and the only way she can now win is if SUPERDELEGATES OVERRULE THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARIES AND THE WILL OF THE VOTERS. Once again, she's manipulating and speaking out both sides of her face.

Isn't 20 years of dynastic rule by two families enough for this REPUBLIC?!

Now there's no way the party won't be fractured. Nobody can seriously tell Clinton to just quit. There are too many loose ends. She has too much support in the party. Obama is turning into a very weak candidate: 1) he clearly doesn't have the support to "knock" Clinton out of the race–this will go on until at least the end of the primaries; 2) his previous unknowns are turning into negatives; 3) the Wright issue was handled poorly from the beginning, will not go away and will be an issue in November if he survives; 4) he has lost control of the debate, he's lost his voice.

If he is nominated it will be by limping to the finish line, like a runner who is injured in a preliminary heat ans still has to run the final. And don't blame CLinton for these problems. She's doing what a candidate does: keeps running unless and until if makes no sense for her to do so.

It's up to Obama to finish Clinton off from a position of strength. Otherwise, he will not have the mandate.

I personally blame Dean for the party's woes. He's the leader of the party. He's done a poor job all around.

I do not understand how people can continue to support Hillary Clinton. She has a proven track record of lying and sneaking and being an 'old school' politician. No one has been able to 'dig up' dirt on Senator Obama other than to try to say that what his pastor believes, he must believe, which is ridiculous. As my Catholic priest says "we go to church to worship God, not for the priest, not for the music, not for any other reason."

There were articles on CNN about Obama's upbringing and mother, what he did after graduate school, etc. He is an open book. If people say they do not "know him" it must be because they do not read. There is plenty of material out there. Do some research and find out about your candidates.

We have a golden opportunity here to finally change this country around in the right direction and move away from the politics as usual, and we are blinded by things that really do not even matter. It is so sad.

If Obama can stay even through all the Reverend Wright controversy, he is one strong candidate. No one has thrown anything at Hillary (and there are decades of footage to throw) and she's only just even. I think Hillary would be a capable president but I'd have to hold my nose to vote for her and I will not saddle my children with four more years of G.W.Bush. I'm praying for Obama.

OBAMA YOU'R A WINNER. HILLARY YOU LOST. Hillary has/is trying everything to destroy Barack. She tries to keep Rev Wright going, to hurt Barack. I think that will be hard to forget.. She is so negative and destructive to the Dems that I don't see how the Superdels can support Hillary, with the type of mind set she has.. I can barely listen to her or watch her. She is getting SO STALE. We are moving forward with Barack Real CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Good luck senetor Obama....

Clinton is up double digits in the last two Ind polls.
Obama just lied through his teeth about Wright.

Wright is going to destroy Obama....way to go moron.

Finally,

Some of Obama supporters realized that he is not the best candidate to represent democrats. I am democrat and I will vote for him if he is nominee but I highly doubt that he could win this race. You can not win with Empty speeches. I really hope Hillary gets nomination as she is brilliant as far as knowlegde of policies and solutions of problems are concerned. I definitely prefer Hillary over Obama.

Obama speech on Wright is a little too late. Now he denounces Wrights Coments after his political career is on the line. He didn’t know about Farrahkan before? None of Wright’s views? Please. Wright coming out is a no winning situation for Obama. If it’s true he never heard of Wright’s anti American stands for 20 years one has to question Obama’s awareness and judgment.

After denouncing Rev. Wright today, Senator Obama will once again be the nominee in the lead as should be.

hunter – Your such a Chinton Hater! Nothing less, nothing more. You and your fellow Clinton Haters should reserve your rooms at the DNC convention in Denver in August so you can personally show and display your lack Democratic values. Im sure the leadership would love to hear your disapproval. Just remember my friend, your view point isn't the only view point in this country. There are over 300,000,000 Americans that have a view point, and a view point that they want heard. Have a problem, then just VOTE!

It's seems the entire Obama campaign is OUTRAGED by the fact he's been revealed as nothing more than a politician - and weak one at that. He can't even manage his pastor's antics. How the heck is he going to deal with the loons in Iran...Venezuela...or on Capital Hill?

Thank God we're getting to know the man before we nominate him.
Hillary fought hard and should be thanked for staying in to save us from the likes of a weak nominee like Obama.

HILLARY WON'T DO ANY GOOD TO THE COUNTRY
SEN OBAMA IS THE BEST CANDIDATE, HE HAS MY FULL SUPPORT, HE HAS THE SUPPORT OF MY 100 CO-WORKERS AND HE WILL HAVE MORE

Rasmussen tracking Poll has had Obama ahead by EIGHT points for several days....

14 million voters FOR Hillary can't be wrong!

What is not being reported is that Obama has gotten committments from seven superdelegates – all reported on page 17, to Clintons three – all reported on page one.

The media has turned for Clinton. The nation is still for Obama.

What differece does it make? The clintons are there to destroy obama and the democratic party. She knows she doesn't have the whatever tthe required numbers. He is leading and he will win.

Bad news for clinton

In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!
Why wont CNN be fair… hillary clintons pastor just was charged with child molestion for touching a 7 year old girl her pastor name is Rev. William Procanick …. and why isnt cnn reporting the peter paul vs.. clinton case…. 17 million dollar law suit that they have aginst them…. in cally…..

Go HILLARY!!!

People are starting to see the reality of electability.
Plus, REAL plans set to help us all on many issues.
Not the "Pretty" Blah, Blah Blah, but concrete solutions laid down.

We need you keep going!

CNN! Put this to bed already. It's over. Look at the numbers.

Bill and Hill will do everything possible to steal this nomination. It's crazy how the numbers show a virtual impossibility for her to win, yet you Hillary supporters march on, hoping the super delegates will help Bill and Hill steal. Note this point. The democrats can not and will not win an election without the black vote, which is huge, this time around. And as many African Americans who feel disenfranchised today goes, so does the democratic nomination. Let the Supers steal this one and see don't we have another Republican president. And that is not being divisive. It's sharing fact.

Go Obama08 church is like the supermarkert you get what you need and leaves what you don`t, Sanator was in the church for the word of christ , remember its one day a week in church

A win or better two will immediately change the polls ..... so

They are in a statistical tie. They both suck 100%.

Ron Paul '08

Hunter (first poster),

Obama has not won the nomination. Neither candidate can win under the existing rules. They both have an unattainable amount of delegates to get as set in the rules and thus this is going to go to the superdelegates and ultimately the convention that elect who is the nominee. Remember we aren't counting Florida or Michigan as set by the rules (giving Obama that clear lead... but if we weren't they'd be tied or Hillary would be winning).

The truth is Obama has lost his golden boy momentum. Change to the unexplained are not what the american people are looking for anymore. Holding more superdelegates is going to be the key in the end here

Hillary is the only candidate with all her proposals out for for everyone to read, and they're good too. She's got experience. And she's been vetted big time. She's got momentum and an unbreakable will. She connects to the american people and thats what she's been doing for the last 30 years.

The american people are coming around from obama-mania to realize that she is the real deal. Obama was just media hype. Not to say he wouldn't make a great president one day... I think with some experience (maybe as VP) he'd make a great president in 2013 or 2017.

I don't know where these crazy hillary fanatics are coming from. They honestly want to subvert the democratic process and allow for an elitist and dictorial rule of law. Are you guys trying to say that the superdelegates overturn the choice of the people?

What makes Hillary any better than Bush? I see her have the same spin and lies that we have had from this administration.

We are indeed a Prozac Nation!

Just another reason to keep the contest going! Neither Clinton nor Obama will have the 2,025 needed to win.

Obama would end up being a "Rookie" President if elected and beat McCain. While on the other hand, Clinton has the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to become a President on day one.

WAKE UP AMERICA! Let us ALL get behind Hillary and push her over the finish line. She is the one that CAN BEAT McCain in November.

Hillary Clinton is what America needs to turn our country back to what it was that made all Americans proud!

Pfff... BS. Look at the delegate count. Obama's WAY ahead. The way I see it Obama's up too in popular vote. Caucuses DO count, and as a resident of a caucus state, I'm OFFENDED that Hillary doesn't seem to think so. Just about every other poll has Obama up at least a couple points.

Hillary WILL NOT WIN. GET OVER IT. THANK YOU.

Obama '08

Unless it is only 48 States in USA that Obama is leading Hillary and definitely Obama has known his pastor for the past 20 years and as of three weeks ago he was still part of campaign team and now he doesn't know him. Give me a breake.

We do not know why the media keep lying to keep Hillary in this race. It's over.

Clinton is airing this advertisement in Indiana, bemoaning the closure of a defense contractor Magnequench's manufacturing plant in Valparaiso (she is also echoing this line in her stump speeches). Looking at the camera, she tells us she's upset that the 200 jobs that were sent to China, and that "now America's defense relies on Chinese spare parts." And then comes the kicker: She tells viewers that "George Bush could have stopped it, but he didn't."

Clinton is certainly right that it is a tragedy that 200 American jobs were killed in a corporate deal that also exported sensitive military technology to China. But she forgets to mention that it wasn't George Bush who was in the key position to stop it - it was Bill Clinton.

oooops Hillary better get the facts, your hubby is the reason these people lost their factory and you are trying to get their votes by lies....

Either way if he is the nominee not getting my vote

Hillary/McCain 08'

What would the political section be full of if we didn't have the Obama/Clinton battle. Notice, this sales site hits, which equals more advertisement exposure, which equals more money for the news company. Am I right? The previous information blogged was correct, it is over, by the rules, Obama has won the nomination. The DNC better start getting focussed on how they are going to beat McCain and put a halt to this O.C. battle. No easier way to do that than the Supers casting their favor.
END THIS BATTLE!!!!!

Tried three times to post my comment, but obviously CNN only wants pro-Obama comments on this story.

i prefer Obama!

This poll was obviously taken before his holiness Rev. Wright sparked more "outrage!" from the Obama camp. What a load of crap! Obama's had more than enough time to distance himself from the preacher. The fact that he didn't do so 10, 15, 20 years earlier shows what little common sense the Senator has.

Obama lost my vote the day Wright arrived on YouTube.

I just posted two comments that were positive and a third that was trashing the clintons–the ones trashing the clintons were the only ones that went through

Just tried to leave a message on the last two blogs but keep getting knocked out. You close all the blogs so fast when they are actually for Obama.

Go Obama Kick butt. You are the best. This is comming from a white, 42 year-old, single mom who works her butt off to support her family. oh and by the way I am a republican in a republican state who is voting over party lines in Nov. becasue You – Obama show a high code of ethics that ALL elected officials need to aspire to.

Thank you for not joining in the mud slinging that Clinton has been doing. Keep the faith. You are blessed.

My gut instinct is to say something horrible about Hillary, but quite frankly I'm going to say it with my vote. I want Barack as my president and I can't wait to vote for him in November.

I LIKE BARACK OBAMA-HE'S THE MAN FOR THE TIMES THAT THE COUNTRY IS FACING.

We need someone in the White House who will think about the people, and not just themselves.

Obama will win...and hopefully he send Hillary as a mediator in Iraq or Afganistan for some real sniper fire!!

Obama is losing momentum. Too many truths are going to come out. Alice Palmer will be coming out soon to explain to the country how Obmaa got his start by kicking everyone off the ballot on a technicality so he can run unopposed for his senate seat.

Obama will win Indiana, NC and the presidency. He just needs to be himself. All the attacks will eventually settle down, the superdelegates will come out and support him, and Hillary will go home crying on bill's shoulders.

Here come the Obama lovers to again used this tired argument that Obama has WON the nomination.

He hasnt WON anything. He cant win . He needs superdelegates, just like Clinton.

This is all the obama lovers have left to argue. He got a delegate lead when he had his magic media shield.

Hi Hunter, calm the f down...peel yourself off the wall. It just looks like your man blew it. Oh no, sorry he did blow it!
Watch out, we're everywhere.....

You all need to remember that we're on the same side! Stop the bickering. There is no way Hillary can win the nomination without having it decided by Superdelegates. Let's not move forward and fight John McCain instead of handing him the election.

“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,”
Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a
symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know,
the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial
and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were
our anthem, then I might salute it.”

Why don't you print comments supportive of Senator Clinton?

clintons are evil

Why can't Democrats add? Obama has already won this one. We should be thanking our lucky starts and joining him on his 50 State voter registration campaign and get these Republicans put out for the next 8 years instead of fussing around with Senator Clinton who CANNOT mathematically win this. Clinton supporters need to come home to the party and let's have a LANDSLIDE in November. Give President Obama the mandate he deserves to heal America's image at home and abroad.

Hillary is the smartest and that women knows what she is doing ! We need a STRONG leader – not someone who talks the talk and walks the walk!

Obama is just talk thats it!

Hillary 08 !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What excuse does Obama has now about his Judgement in regards to his Pastor Wright????
And he complains about Hillary"s Judgement????
Poor, poor judgement Obama, to stay that long with this Pastor.
He wont get my vote !!!!
Hillary is best for our Country , at least she won't invite Rev Wright to the White House.
Hillary 2008!!!!
Hope the Superdelegates think hard before they give Obama their vote.
I rather vote for McCain...

Why can't you at CNN expose any white person's affiliations ?

Obama will prevailObama will prevail even though Hillary is just in it in hopes Obama is damaged enough not to win in November so she can run in 2012…now is that selfish or what? I cannot believe people don’t see this, she cannot win even if she one the rest of the way to the convention and yet she stays in the race. If the roles were turned and Obama would have been trailing, I am sure he would have dropped out already and gotten behind her…but noooooo, apparently she is owed the White house because she is a Clinton. When people play football or baseball or any other sport, we don’t change rules in the middle of the game, we don’t lie about where the ball was downed, etc. Hillary, don’t think for one minute that we the American people with half a brain know that this is what you want. If you were really concerned about the American people you would have acted a lot different you should be ashamed of yourself.

Obama 08/12

The Clintons sought out Rev. Wright's counseling during the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. Surely the Rev. can't be that bad......can he????

Obama's judgement for having Wright in his campaign tells me he's NOT qualified to be president. That seals the deal for this american. Reverend Wright is a disgrace and everyone knows it. The fact that Obama doesn't is very troubling.

thats freakin stupid pollster thinks they know everything wow

Obama 08-12

This is a perfect example of how the media controls an election. If enough people in the media start saying that one candidate is losing momentum and another is gaining, after a few days of repeating this you suddenly see a change in the polls. I think that the media preys on those people who can't think for themselves.

Obama needs to show who is dominant. Stop attacking each other and start telling voters who have the best proposal. When 2016 come remember this name im running for U.S Senate for louisiana

quamaine Mason

Okay, all jokes aside Barack Obama, why don’t you and reverent Jeremiah Wright go behind the curtain and make up and say sorry that you had to say all those ill about Jeremiah Wright because its just politics and in politics, you have to win! If your not a winner your not doing a good job of being a politician.

Some Obama supporters amaze me. Hillary has done very well by any stretch of the imagination in this campaign, has won most of the larger states that need to be won to beat the GOP, is statistically tied with Obama and yet she has "lost" or needs to "drop out." The reason Obama's numbers have gone down is because people have gotten to know him. He talks a good game but that's all it is, talk.

Why doesn't anyone bring up the MOST important thing about this media fiasco... that it is COMPLETELY irrelevant to our political process and is deflecting attention away from so many pertinent issues affecting our nation. We are "one nation under God", but also agree to separate Church from State. What a pastor says is not supposed to affect the quality of our political process or interfere with the political dialogue in our country.

PLEASE LET'S MOVE ON and choose a nominee before we all die from aggravation and discontent. Hillary either needs to get over herself and be authentic to who she is or be ashamed of her conduct throughout her entire campaign. As a woman, I am truly disappointed and disgusted by her tactics.

By the way, and if anything... I think that one who summers on Martha's Vineyard and hobnobs with Carly Simon is not exactly clear of "elitist" epithet his/herself!!

So, there!
GO 'BAMA!!!

BARRACK OBAMA...08 U GO BOY......STAND TALL AMIDST ALL THE ROCKS THEY ARE THROWING AT U.....U WILL NEVER DIE........
AMERICA WAKE FROM UR SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!! THE DAY IS DRAWING NIGH.....

This poll doesn't mean diddly,Like Jimmy Carter said last night the super delegates are poised to go with the candidate with the most pledged delegates,WSJ this am states he is favored heavily to win the silent " election".I would like to be there when Hillary,Bill and James Carville get the news.

Go Hillary... You have the experience and know how to help the people of this great country.

Obama has shown that his biggest argument is null and void. He tried to paint the picture that he has superior judgement because he did not support the war with Iraq from the beginning.

Obama's argument that he has superior judgement holds no water. He had 20 years to walk out on his nut job pastor. He chose not to. Face the facts. Obama can't beat McCain in the general election.

Hillary 08

Nice speech Obama gave on Wright today.

NOW hes outraged? Wright has been saying the same thing for 20 years. This idea he was DIFFERENT 20 years ago is a joke.

Obama tried to cut off ties to Wright, but cmon, he was his PASTOR and spiritual advisor for 20 years.

This speech by Obama is damage control. He had his opportunity in Philadelphia to sever ties with him.

As much as I am laughing at Obamas no win situation, I am soley angry at Wright throwing Obama under the bus after all Obama did to defend him.

Wright is a JERK.

IT IS Clear – OBAMA used this guy and the church in Chicago as the stepping-stone to the White House. He will do or probably say anything to FOOL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. After the election it will be too late!

HUNTER YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE. AND WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS NOT WON ANYTHING YET. HE IS EVEN BEHIND HILLARY IN THE SUPER DELAGATE COUNT. SO DO NOT COUNT HILLARY OUT YET.

I cant believe that Obama's numbers havent crashed and burned after his 'typical white person' and 'cling to the gun and bible' comments he's had over the past few weeks. Hillary will keep taking the last few states, the supers will vote her in over Obama, and the FALSE HOPE era will be over. Good riddens – and it's a moote point anyway: McCain will take the presidency in November cuz he's the most qualified for the job. Say no to taxes for once!

Its still not over. It can go either way and we can find out more on May 6th. Both knows that they can not win the nomination without the help of superdelegates.

Sorry, that is obviously "sponsored" and "That".
I was sounding like a Clinton supporter there for a minute!

I can't believe that even pinko, knee-jerk liberal CNN would close the comments section on Jeremiah Wright in less than 1 hour. .Too hot for you CNN, you gutless morons! B. Hussein Obama's outrage is so obviously politically timed and motivated. B. Hussein Obama will solve our problems by singing "I'd like to teach the world to sing" . Yeah, that will show the world we are the good guys. This twit won't even pledge allegiance with his hand over his heart.

Ahh to the love of Hillary and the lies she breathes. How could you people even consider her... It makes me sad to be an American when someone like her is this popular!!!

I have sent numerous messages to the DNC and I will state it here. I am truly afraid of a Hillary Clinton Administration. So much in fact I will campaign for McCain if she manipulates her way to the nomination. My money and support for Obama or McCain!

The Clintons were behind Rev. Wright coming out. Days before each of Hilary's latest wins....A story hit in a attempt to destroy OBAMA! The NAACP person in charge of inviting Rev. Wright was a Hilary supporter and the lady interviewing Rev. Wright at the press club was also a Hilary supporter.

Go OBAMA 08!

Avoid the trauma, stop Obama!

Please correct this entry! Obama never had a lead in any poll in the weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania primary. Clinton maintained a lead starting months before the primary all the way up to the closing days. Wake up. Someone needs some coffee!

If the Clintons are allowed to STEAL this nomination, the public should protest in the streets. If this is allowed to happen, our ability to vote for elected officials of any kind is trashed. Hillary will not win the presidency, the youth of America will rightfully by disenchanted by a process that is corrupt, and America will lost its chance to truly have a person in the White House who can unite us all. What a shame – just because the Clintons won't go home.

Hillary has more popular votes.
Hillary has more electoral votes.

Obama has more delegates.
Obama has more money.

when American will understand that HIllary Rodham will make any face or politice like she made from the blood of America kids,and supported Bush war in Iraq.she take all mony from special intress and lobbyist,and she will work for them not for America worker.
she is like Cammeron changing colors according to the sun.
American wake up.

I don't understand why people want another Clinton in the white house.

Has anybody here stopped and though about the fact that if clinton gets elected, our last four presidency's will have gone:

bush
clinton
bush
clinton

America is not supposed to be run by ruling families!

Well the race isnt over yet and I still believe Obama will win this... I have just as much if not more respect for Obama as I did here in Texas..

Obama 08

TRENDY!

How many more of your relatives can you throw under that bus, Obama? First typical White grandma, now your crazy uncle – who's next? Getting a little crowded under there

But at least I FINALLY figured out what Obama means by "change": it means changing his mind whenever he thinks it benefits him politically.

First Obama didn't hear Wright, then he did, then Wright was his beloved uncle, now he's throwing him under the bus, just like typical White grandma. God, he'll run out of relatives before this thing is over

Hunter I agree! The only thing I disagree with you on is that the Clintons had any dignity or respect in the first place! Bill tarnished the presidency getting sexual favors in the oval office and then they took the white house furniture and countless gifts when they left – not to mention pardoned several of the underground weatherman. C'mon people how can anyone respect these two losers!! GO GO GO OBAMA!!!!!

Kentucky Rep. Chandler and Iowa DNC member Machaceck announce support for the Land of Lincolner.

Chandler provides key support in Kentucky, where Obama is relatively weak. Its primary is May 20.

Machaceck is the fifth of Iowa’s 12 superdelegates to endorse Obama; Clinton has three.

Does the Obama campaign have to pay Bob the Builder royalties every time they use "Yes we can"?

Dead even .. but all the liberal effete still clamor for Hillary to drop out. I can gaurantee they will bring up math.... but neither candidate has enough delegates to win outright. so....... they say, do it for the good of the party... I am not interested in the pity party, I am interested in the good of America. Hillary is not the best candidate we have had, but she is the best we have now (between her , mccain, and obama).

Please let no one repeat this worn down line about why BO was in his church for 20 years:

How can he sit in church for 20 years and listen to this man. WE all do this every week. Catholics listening to priests that are rumored and later confirmed as pedophiles. Christians listening to controversial pastors. We all take the best and feed spiritually and sometimes leave behind a few of the social stuff.

By the way, Wright was not saying the stuff of the past 3 days (and not all was bad) for 20 x 52 weeks x 60 minutes. The worst of his previous statements ere condensed in 2 minutes.

Anyway its over. Wright is not BO!

People are starting to see straight through Senator Obama because Rev. Wright. You can't love Rev. Wright love him for saying one thing and then be "outraged" over another.

1. Didn't Obama write his book Audacity of hope based on one of Wright's sermons?

2. If Wright is so called from the "old division" of race...why has it taken 20 years for Obama to see Wright's true colors? You cannot tell me that for 20 years, Obama has never seen this behavior.

3. Obama said he's never heard or seen Wright act or say these things in all the time that he has known him. Ok, we believe you Obama. So are you saying a senior, retired pastor, that has had years and years of seasoning his beliefs and values about America and Christianity is all of a sudden turning into a hateful, outrageous man? Oh wait, I guess he did once your campaign started picking up speed. *end sarcasm*

4. Isn't Wright Obama's spiritual and religious mentor? When most people have a mentor, they love and admire them for their ENTIRE being, not just a part of them. Obama can no longer give us the same excuses no more.

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter (first poster),

Apparently, you don't understand the rules. No one has won yet so quit dreaming.

HILLARY YES SHE WILL.

great! keep it up Hillary. We need you very much to remove the deadlocks in politics. At any cost we can't even imagine to have a unknown president like Obama to rule world's most powerful country. How can people vote for him? He is not only unexperienced, but also confused in his talks, have bad link with former paster, having no knowledge of foreign pilicy, no active participation in social works... countless things.........
If he is nomited for President, then only God can save US.

People have forgotten about her experiences like Bosnia sniper fire, tax returns, WH Diary, Clinton Library's donors list etc. Even with the Rev Wrigth issue, she can't pull away from Obama. Why? Too much baggage (60%). I think she needs to drop out now.

She indeed is Clown Hillary, head of the Clinton freak show, waiting and fighting to bring the best 'reality' show on earth back to the White House. Think of all the rooms Bill has yet to have an adventure in. Can't wait.....NOT

I see qualities that I like in both candidates, Hillary & Obama. I have contributed money to both Hillary & Obama's campaign. In November I will vote for whoever is the democratic nominee. I usually vote for the candidate I like the most.

The saddest part of this poll is that this is all the democrats can choose from. There are so many better candidates that would more interested in the common person than either of these candidates.

Don't worry Hillary supporters he will still get the nomination and his polls will soar mock my word.

Did Obama look out at America and see "Stupid" stamped across all of our foreheads?
Obama thinks that we don't know why he is denouncing his pastor. He threw his grandmother under the bus to make an interesting speech. He chose that church to get into an African American church. Now he is cutting ties with his longtime friend and mentor, Jeremiah Wright.
The things Wright has said in the last few days are the same types of things he said on the videotapes we have seen. Of course, Obama has heard these things. He was a member of Wright's church when Louis Farrakhan was given a lifetime achievement award. Did Obama step forward and oppose that?
Do anything you can if you think it will help you win, Barrack. That's what this is all about. And we are NOT too stupid to see through you!

Watch out Michelle. If you say anything else that hurts his campaign, you may be next.

NObama '08

WELL IT MAY BE THAT SOME OF OBAMAS SUPPORTERS ARE STARTING TO SEE THE LIGHT.WHAT WITH HIS CLOSE TIES TO REV. WRIGHT, TONY RESKO WHO IS NOW TIED IN WITH KARL ROVE, NOT TO MENTION THAT OBAMA IS AGAINST ROLLING BACK FEDERAL TAXES ON GAS TO HELP THE PEOPLE. LIKE HE SAID HE WAS AGAINST THE WAR, AND THEN SAID IF HE HAD BEEN IN THE SENATE AND READ ALL OF THE LIES TO GO TO WAR HE DON'T KNOW HOW HE WOULD OF VOTED. HE IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. GO AWAY OBAMA FAR AWAY.

Thanks to the news media you have put Rev. Wright on the map. You have given Rev. Wright more publicity and more notoriety than ever before. We wouldn't have known that a Rev. Wright even existed. You have increased his popularity by running your videos of the man. We the voters are so sick of seeing Rev. Wright in the news that we could vomit Rev. Wright.

I still do not understand- despite winning PA and all these Wright issues for Obama and MSM bashing Obama for 1-week- how come- Clinton not able to lead OBAMA

Serious issue

IF CLINTON IS SO ELECTABLE WHY CANT SHE PULL AHEAD? ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO OBAMA THIS WEEKEND, WHY CANT SEN. CLINTON CLOSE THE DEAL?

Why isnt she doing better?

Yeah, he will probably be the nominee, but he'll loose the general. That's the sad truth.

Who was the Clinton supporter that invited Rev Wright to the Washington Press Club CNN do you know?
You reported a Clinton Supported invited Wright to speak who was it?

Maybe now that Senator Obama has so definatively toss the Reverend Wright to the curb we can get back to the business of getting Obama elected (and find Senator Clinton her own seat on the curb)!!!

Barack Obama, apply directly to the forehead. Ugh.

p.s.
if you don't like what Hillary writers write,
then go cry with rev. wright today.

Polls, polls, polls! They really do not matter anymore. It is not about if but about when Obama will be officially the nominee. Sorry Clinton! Game is over!

Sam,

The only one we're saying bye bye to is the LIAR. Get a clue, it's Hillary.

I would think that Hillary will gain ground every day from now on out. With all the truth coming out with Rev Wright, does Obama think Americans are stupid enough to believe he never knew his own pastor had these ideas. BULL! How can we possibly be the "United" States if we had a leader who has been under a spiritual advisor like Wright! That's scary.. but the more he speaks and Obama stumbles around it...the more everyone will realize that Hillary is the ONLY hope for America.

Obama is more real and honest than Clinton ever been (well, these words just don't match with Clintons).
Now, I cannot even consider any other candidate because they had shown their luck of judgment, luck of experience, luck of elementary wisdom, luck of history knowledge – when they supported war in Iraq. It is now 10 billion per month. And our country is given now about same rating as Iran (on 'threat to piece scale') by population of most countries.

Will these morons compensate 10 billion per month from their pockets? Plus return lives to hundreds of thousands people...

Obama 2008

She's BACCCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. What an amazingly close race. But given the fact that weeks before the PA primary, Obama consistently held a wide lead over Clinton it tells me that the majority of folks in the country are now leaning towards Clinton as the better candidate. Her win and that consistently nagging Reverend Wright is taking its toll on Obama. Better we see this stuff now than after the election.

I think the mainstream media (Big Business) is having a blast spinning and trying to control the democrat voters. They have been bashing Obama and pushing Clinton. Obama has won the most states, has the most votes and the most delegates... this really shouldn't even be a contest... it should be over. Seems to me that most of the media has an agenda. The question is why... to make more money? Or, because they think McCain can beat Clinton and not Obama. Whatever the reason, I feel like they are deciding who will get the nomination and it infuriates me. We all need to do our homework and not fall for the spin they keep trying to sell us.

This does not mean a thing as the race will continue regardless until June 3, 2008. Obama will be ahead in delegate count and popular vote in spite of media trying so hard, otherwise. Thanks to the efforts of millions of young Americans who are behind 'Obama' and they do not care to read the biast news and watch TV so much.

Eat your heart out 'Clinton', you will not be the nominee.

A.M.
Houston, Texas

Second place is respectable.

Hey did anyone hear? The DNC sponsered a poll and Obama leads by 156 pledged delegates. They it appears that Obama will likely (99.99% chance) win by over 85 delegates after giving Clinton MI and Fl!
Now that's news. Somehow all the media outlets are kinda missing that piece of info.
I suppose the Superdelegates could contrive some sort of rationale for giving it to Clinton,. I wonder if the youth vote, the black vote, the sane Republican vote and the Independents are going to be upset if they do that though? Darn, its so tough to figure out. Boy, I'm glad it doesn't rest on my shoulders!

In my most humble opinion, it appears as though Rev. Wright and the Michigan branch of the NAACP are on Hillary Clinton’s side. They are out to make Obama look bad, and they are doing a really good job.

They want Hillary to win.

They need Hillary to win.

They loved the Clinton years.

They want a Clintonpeat.

So, Rev. Wright, the Michigan branch of the NAACP, and most people of Michigan want Hillary to win. Rumor has it, that Rev. Wright is on Hillary’s payroll, and so is his body guards. So watch this...as May 6 approaches, Rev Wright’s comments and appearances will intensify. Obama will look bad, voters will loose trust, and Hillary will come out smelling like roses.

In addition, Rev Wright is making all of the church leaders and preachers of all RACES look really, really bad. Now that’s sad!!!!

Hey, Gov. Mike Easley...welcome to the team!!!

btw...REV WRIGHT DOES NOT REPRESENT THE BLACK CHURCH

Obama will pull away again, as he has done in the past. Intelegent people will not be fooled by Hillary or let the Rev. Wright (non) story upstage this honorable man. He has the message and the ideas America needs. All America has to do is listen. The truth is there.

Probably fallout from the Wright business. I am beginning to sympathize with Obama there. I would not want to be held responsible for all the things I've heard white preachers say from the pulpit in churches I've attended. As for Wright, well, he did leave College to join the Marines, something neither Clinton nor Obama have done.

looks like barack hit a brick wall. where is all that momentum he once had?! i guess people started to wise up a bit. barack wasnt an agent of change, he never was, he is just an agent for something different. thats all, plain and simple. that my firends isnt good enough.
dont get me wrong, if he wins the nomination i will certainly vote for him. but hillary, regardless if you trust her or not, whether you like her or not, she can change and fix some of the ridiculous problems and messes that this administration is directly responsible for. wisen up people, hillary can beat mccain and start to move this country back in the right, forward direction again.

go hillary , u'r my president !

hillary march onward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

obambi in crying over rev. wright now after 20 years he's all of a sudden sad and mad..... give me a break... what a faker! all for a vote his now is mad at wright.

what's wrong obambi.... come off the basketball court today losing???

Hillary 08!

I hope Hillary's teeth falls out from all that lying she does.

Jeesh, what a liar.

Go Hillary!

The Clinton campaign made a gutsy move with their quick donation to Rev Wright's church if he would make a national statement to help Obama.
It paid off though. Every time Wright speaks Obama loses votes. Now Obama needs to match the donation just to shut him up.

DID YOU HEAR THE GOOD NEWS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS THROWN REV. J. WRIGHT JR. UNDER THE BUS.

WE WILL NEVER HEAR ANOTHER WORD FROM REV. WRIGHT AGAIN!

So lets see here. We have 2 candidates and half of our party likes one, and half of the party likes the other. One candidate (Barack Obama) is honest, ,trustworthy, smart, cooperative, and a true visionary for turning our country into a great country again. The other candidate (Hillary Clinton), is untrustworthy, lies whenever she has the chance, makes up whatever she thinks people want to hear, and only wants to be the first woman president, not help our country. Seems to me like we should only have 1 candidate...

Obama Richardson 2008

Choices, hmmmm....liar, warmonger, liar, warmonger, liar, warmonger or....Barack.

I choose Barack, the best candidate.

O8ama

stop the drama
vote obama

It's time to fix the economy, positively advance everybodies life towards prosperity, Jobs and universal healthcare for everybody,
Vote for Hillary.

The tide is turning at last. Watch for Hilary to pick up momentum as Obama reveals his vulnerability and green-ness. I would have preferred Gore, I will vote for Obama if he is the party nominee, but of the two I believe Hillary is the better choice - experience, LEADERSHIP, AND PURE GUTS. In the Wright affair, Obama is looking rudderless - his "outrage" over Wright's positions and remarks come months, maybe years too late.

HE HAD A CHANCE TO BE VICE PRESIDENT AND HE WAS TOO FULL OF HIMSELF TO GRAB IT. NOW HE HAS NOTHING. HE IS FINISHED. HE WILL BE LUCKY TO KEEP HIS SENATE SEAT. WHAT A DOWNFALL. COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A NICER GUY.

OBAMA HAD 12 STRAIGHT WINS BUT HE IS NOW LOSING…

AVOIDING DEBATES MAY BE SEEN AS A SIGN OF
WEAKNESS / READINESS AND THE EDUCATED PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA MAY GET MORE SUSPICIOUS ABOUT OBAMA^S CAPABILITIES OF BECOMING THE PRESIDENT…

. . .Look, we have to go by the numbers. Not polls, race, Rev. Wright, illegal vote counts, emotions or attitudes. And looks like Senator Obama is winning.

Which is a loss for Clinton.

STOP THE DRAMA!!!

Vote OBAMA

It's apparant that Barrack's front runner standing is slipping. Current events of him once again, talking about his pastor is evident that his pastor has damaged his campaign and he has to address the issue.
He's a good man. However, if he wins the Deomocrat nomination, the Republican's will have a field day on this issue. Don't get caught wearing a helmet driving a tank.

Polls go up polls go down! The funny part is all these people posting on here that honestly believe a polls taken today can tell them how the election will play out in November. Good thing the superdelegates are looking at the real numbers. More states won,more delegates,more popular vote, and within a week more superdelegates also! If it were any one else Hillary would be gone already! So good for her! at least we are dealing with the dirt nationally now! there is only 2 strong candidates in this race Hillary and Obama. Mc Cain is a joke to the GOP and if they are smart at there convention they will over turn the primary and put someone else up whom can actually beat either Sen Clinton Or Sen Obama!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

I don't trust the validity of any of these polls. I've never been polled once in my life.

Anyone But McCain '08!

Make no bones, I support Obama. But if you Clinton supporters want me to vote for your candidate in November, you better start asking Hillary to become a uniter. Yes, she can fight. But can she unite? It is time for her to give a speech on race. It is time for her to talk about how she is getting the white female vote by large margins. It is time for her to talk about why so many of you HATE Obama.

I am a young black woman, and I was disgusted with Reverend Wrights performance. I truly believe that he was using this oppurtunity to advance himself in some way; Although I'm not sure in what way that would be. I will vote for Obama in November because he has shown me such integrity and poise, and I beleive in his message of unity.Beware dont be distracted by this looney guy, Remember how hard it is for all of us right now, and how much we need to move in a new direction.

How much is Hillary paying Rev. Wright to keep talking??

The Dems have decided who we want and unfortunately the superdems or stupidems are holding their fingers in the wind. Grow up, make a decision and stop holding up this process. August is right around the corner and the whole world is watchinig.

IF EVERYONE WANTS TO PAINT THIS PICTURE OF OBAMA THE BLACK ELITEST OR THE CANDIDATE WHO HAS VERY LITTLE LOVE FOR AMERICA THEN YOU ARE NOT THINKING RATIONALLY DONT LET YOUR EMOTIONS GET THE BEST OF YOU AMERICA. WE ARE ONE PEOPLE AND OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARENT GOING AWAY BY DIVIDING OUR COUNTRY FURTHER. THE COST OF FOOD IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW SO IF YOU REALLY LOVE THIS COUNTRY LET IT BE PROVEN BY OUR INTELLIGENCE. NOT A FLAG PEN
BY THE WAY HILLARY MIGHT NOT HAVE CHOSEN A PASTOR LIKE REV. WRITE BUT SHE STILL CHOSE TO STAY WITH A MAN WHO WAS NOT FAITHFUL TO HER AT ALL. I WONDER IF THAT DECISION WAS ALSO POLITICALLY MOTIVATED

Americans will begin to see the truth with recent events and ones yet to unfold. You cannot run for the presidency of the United States of America and willingly expose your sentiments about America. Your close relations like your wife and Pastor especially when they cannot just keep their mouth shut, do it for you. What you do is PLAY POLITICS. Even though that is not the theme of your campaign.
Also you can HOPE and think that will CHANGE the discussion at hand.GOD BLESS AMERICA

I think Rev. Wright coming back will help Obama. As we can see yesterday that Wright is just some crazy guy who is looking for fame. People will look at Obama positively now in Rev. Wright matter. He can put up with people with Wright to heal southside community.

Obama made a great move to stick to his guns. For those who won't vote for Obama because of his pastor have made a commitment to vote like a republican on a one issue personality war. Hillary is ruining this election for democrats and needs to stick to talking about issues that concern the public and not trying to attack Obama's personality because she is behind in delegates. This will only continue to make the public not trust her!

I don't know why there is a deadlock, Obama is the better person for the job.

This is clearly the nail in the coffin for Mr. Obama's remarkable run at the white house. He can attempt to condemn the actions of his religous advisor all he wants but there is usally a little bit of truth in everything. Including the fact that if he has had a relationship with Mr. Wright for over 3 decades he has most likely heard this rhetoric on more than one occasion whether it be public or private. If this is who he looks up to spiritually it is obvious religion and relationships with certain sects of religion can make you do very questionable things (ahhem mr bush). We should all learn our lesson for the past 8 years with allowing strong religious beleifs to interfere with political opinion and decision making.

I'm looking forward to Hillary taking both states. Obama is too high risk. He brings with him too many vulnerabilities and the republicans know it. That is why Karl Rove is giving opinion for Obama's campaign. They want Obama to be the nominee so that they can tear him apart. It is a fact the the republicans fear the Clinton's because they have a strong fight and know how to stand against them.

People better wake up and see the storm in the clouds. If Hillary does not become the nominee, the democrats will loose, dismally.

We hope the nice people of Indiana will vote for Hillary

Can Obama take action that will show he really wants to be the uniter?

Can he subjugate his ego and ambition to his desire to unite the Democratic Party?

Can he see that the "Wright Minor Distraction" disappears from the national media cycle when he becomes the VP candidate?

Can he see how much the Democrats will love him if he chooses this action?

Can he see that if Hillary loses in November that he can run again in 4 years but Hillary can't?

Can he see that Hillary might step aside in 4 years and let him run as President if he negotiates correctly now?

Can he see that if he gets the nomination this cycle and loses, that he'll never be President? Neither will Hillary? That the Democrats lose two great Presidential Leaders?

Time will tell.

Somebody tell him.

IT IS JUST POSSIBLE THAT THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT

THAT REPRESENTS WHO WE ARE AS A PEOPLE.

ALL OF US CAN'T BE RICH, WARMONGERING,

POWER HUNGRY, SELFISH INDIVIDUALS.

Dead heat = Obama feels the heat and his campaign is dead.

Funny how when the negative press focuses on Obama, his supporters want the press to stop their coverage. They didn't feel that way everytime Hillary as much as sneezes and she gets beat up in the press. All's fair in love, war, and politics.

Hillary is the right person for office and could better handle situations like this if it were her.

Do all you Obama supporters not realize that the Republicans will eat him alive over things like this?

We need an experienced person like Hillary and she's proven time and time again, against all odds, against rock star Obama and Obamamania, that she's the best candidate to lead our country out of the mess that has been created for us.

Base on past polls, Obama is statistical tie to Clinton when the polls show that he is ahead at least twice the margin of error, In other word he needs to be at least 6 point of Clinton in this case to be within the poll's margin of error or is statistical tie to Clinton.

What we should say is that Clinton is ahead of Obama in Indiana. Obama suffer from former governor Wilder known as the "Wilder effect". More people say they are going to vote for him than they actually vote for him.

April 29th, 2008 2:51 pm ET
She's dead even because people want to judge Obama for remarks his pastor has said..If we are judging people should we start judging the bias in the media as well..Pat Buchanan made a cruel comment about black people 4 weeks ago and not one news outlet covered it..google what Pat Buchanon said about blacks should be happy for what the United States did for them..It's insulting but yet Obama gets judged on what Rev Wright said..REv Wright gets judge but Pat doesn't get judged on putting africian americans down

All the other polls have had them close all along .CNN poll is the one thats all over the place and always in Obama's favor .It amazes me how Obama all of a sudden throws his preacher under the bus.After having him on his campaign team and this guy was the preacher who married Obama .To hear Obama speak today like this guy turned into a stranger overnight and he was shocked about some of the things he said is pure bull crap .This looney toon believes what he is saying and has been talking the same talk for years .Obama knew it and only is distancing himself because he a liability now .

It appears that the public has gotten over the Obama infatuation period, and is now actually looking at who will be the better candidate and president. The polls will eventually tilt completely towards Senator Clinton and the superdelegates will follow suit.

The funny thing is that Obama could have walked right into the nomination in 2016, he would have had the experience and have been in the public eye for a sufficient amount of time, so there wouldnt have been week after week of gaffes.

To bad his ambition and ego got in the way.

wow what happened to Obama's 10 point lead? evaporated like his campaign huh?

CNN you left out the rest of the facts. Stop being so biased. They're not tied in everything.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like Obama's ‘chickens are coming home to roost’. Obama has reaped the bountiful harvest of black votes and appears ready to move on to whiter pastures – how else do you explain Senator Clinton going from a 90+% positive rating among African-Americans to a 92% negative within 3 months – and is now disposing of his spiritual mentor like a used Kleenex. But those pesky voters just ain't buying it. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Good, shows we need each other. Now lets cut out all of this back bighting and work together to get the White House.

It's obvious what they are doing: Divide and conquer. It looks like Obama took the bait. Soon as he throws Wright under the bus his black vote will evaporate. Black people will start to see Obama as another Uncle Tom that can be easily manipulated by public opinion. This translates into someone who if he got into office would only represent the interests of those with the loudest voice in the media. Obama doesn't have to respond to everything the media digs up. If he responds in a negative way to Wright, he's in jeporady in N.C.–Being the president and being a puppet is not better than being a man and not throwing people under the bus because someone told you to. Obama should just stay on message. the politics of old says respond. The new politics says–stay on message let negative media coverage go away, and talk about what matters to people!

Its just for a day...by this time tomorrow Obama will be leading with a wider margin.

why are they even tied? as a woman, shouldn't she only be getting a smaller percentage of the votes? if she becomes president, should we only pay her 77% of the presidential salary obama would earn being a man?

i love america's hypocritical and misogynistic bias...

It will be a great day in America when Obama becomes our next President.

AMERICA'S SON, BARACK OBAMA, WITH HIS HEAD

HIGH WILL WIN, IF WE ARE THE AMERICANS &

CHRISTIANS WE PROFESS TO BE.

Clintons, Pauls and Jim Levin sit together at the Hollywood Gala Farewell Concert Salute to President Clinton , August 12, 2000.

It was the largest event ever produced for a US President in Hollywood, it was the largest private concert produced closed to the public and it was the largest fundraising event ever produced for a Senator. It also became a federal crime when Hillary Clinton's campaign hid the source and amount of Peter Paul's $1.2 million plus expenditures for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Dear All,

We will let it go when the Balck Community stops hiding behind the alter to preach hate of other races and countries.

If this were a White church preaching this garbage, then people would be up in arms.

Why is this acceptable for ANY CHURCH????

Obama made his bed by staying and being part of this man's chruch for 20 years and believe me this isn't the first time Obama has heard this man speak this trash. Trust me there is more to come out.

Hillary supporters stand back and watch the fireworks. Obama's minster is truning on him now and more will be revealed. Lets watch Obama defend himself against his minster of 20 years, when it comes out that Obama and his family have heard him preach this trash.

With all this negetive stuff happening on his camp, Clinton could not even lead him on Gallup's national tracking poll. He is coming back soon.
Obama all the way

its funny how the media can fool so many people to force an opinion on the candidates. they make heros look like liars and liars look like heros. just listen to each candidate's issues straight from their mouths and form your own opinions. if you do a little independent research you will then see who is truly the best person to lead this country.

Obama 08'

Obama's past is coming up to bite him. Leads me to wonder, what else is in his hidden past.

Aha! But the Gallup poll nationally still hasn't factored in the "silent voters", a segment of the population you haven't even considered or tapped into yet. Those voters are unanimously supporting Barack Obama and will outnumber Hillary Clinton by at least 2:1!

Obama President of the United States '08

Cnn, you arecenter of attention when it comes to political reports.
All you want is the fighting and bickering and the fault finding to keep your viewers and bloggers keep viewing and blogging to lose focus of the mean issues.

Keep on the the so-called good work.

We now see why Hillary's "never give up" attitude is important. Thank God she didn't listen to the Obama followers who urged her to get out. Can Obama REALLY expect anyone to believe that he sat in church for 20 years while not hearing any of this stuff? It won't be long before Rev. Wright gets mad enough to start letting America know that Obama heard every word. The more Obama says about Wright the more Wright is going to fire back or "play the dozens" as he said. Obama should drop out now before it gets really ugly. Superdelegates, do you seriously think this guy has ANY chance to beat McCain with this stuff out there?? Please do your job and give your vote to the candidate with the best chance to beat McCain: HILLARY CLINTON!

This will change soon... Barack will be the nominee

How many more of your relatives can you throw under that bus, Obama? First typical White grandma, now your crazy uncle – who's next? Getting a little crowded under there

But at least I FINALLY figured out what Obama means by "change": it means changing his mind whenever he thinks it benefits him politically.

First Obama didn't hear Wright, then he did, then Wright was his beloved uncle, now he's throwing him under the bus, just like typical White grandma. God, he'll run out of relatives before this thing is over

Thats okay, it won't be long before he leaves her in the dust. Let me ask those for Hillary, do you really want Bill back in the white house?
She can't even control him on the campaign trail......no more scandals!

I am not a supporter of Obama but the one thing I did admire was that he never severed ties with a close family friend just because he was not always politically correct...i guess he is not the rise above the fray guy he wants us all to believe he his...oh well. At least with the Clintons we know what we are getting.

Hillary '08

SOMEONE PLEASE RUN HER DOWN WITH YOUR FLATBED TRUCK !!!

Obama may be too nice to bring it up...but I have a couple things;

David Hale, Susan McDougal, Whitwater Land deal; Travelgate, Filegate, and Vince Fosters death.....is this really the direction the country wants........not just Bill but Hillary to.

OBAMA 08

This is truly a sad statement about Americans' inability to do math and failure to learn enough about the news.

Hey, people, Hillary Clinton can't win! It doesn't matter what you want, it's too late, and Barack Obama is going to be the democratic nominee. Wise up.

Hey CNN... I dare you to go one day without posting a story about the Gallup tracking poll.

Hillary Rotten Clinton is a low down dirty dog
she does not have to destroy the democratic party in her selfish effort to get to the Whitehouse as she thinks she is owed the Presidency.

American's let's ban together to show Hillary Rotten Clinton that she does not deserve to be in the Whitehouse again with her sleazy husband Bill Hilly

Go Away # 1 Liar in the World

Down with Hillary she is a dirty woman she should sit her Tree Trunk legs down Liar Liar Pantsuits on Fire

I still think the "Dream Team" is the way to go. Then there will
be a sure win for the democrats.

Neither canidate may not like it, but they may have no choice.

GO Obama.......We all have you back and I have tons of friends in Indiana and N.C. I also coming to work for your support in Indiana.

Hillary is a liar – sniper fire. Why doesn't she admit she is a liar. I often wonder how can a person just lie and people still back her?

I am so thankful for undecided voters. Obama better watch his back because maybe those were the smartest people all along. They were waiting for the substance to hit the fan and Hillary is coming out a little cleaner and a little more palatable.

There are lots of things in Chicago that need fixing. I think he should go back to Chicago and fix them before he tries to do anything else.

as a black male i'm outraged that obama just sold his soul to politic's worst case senioro you don't agree with your pastor and leave it at that and focus on what YOU CAN CONTROLL, if you lose the election it's not the end of the world, i feel like obama has just burned his pastor for politics and before this i was a very excited obama fan, even after the sermin i thought it was great, didn't see any negativity, but it's a shame he's the minority so he's getting riducaled like this. I FOR ONE WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU OBAMA AND WONT VOTE FOR CLINTON EITHER, I'M SO MAD I'M VOTING MCCAIN, I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS. SOLD YOU SOUL FOR POLITICS SO WHATEVER WOULD YOU DO AS OUR COMMANDER.

Its not enough that Obama has to run against Clinton, but he already is fighting off McBush as well. Hard to win a race when there are two people pulling you down.

Go read The Audacity of Hope, and cast your ballot for Obama. Vote for change.

obama does not agree with his Ex Pastor....? so what?
i don't agree with Obama opinion here! but i still support him....

he has to do this to keep from being hung by the media and his critics who look for anything little thing to build on...

and as far as Rev. Wright is concerned, i haven't research every little detail he mentioned, but just from living life, i know a lot of it is true...

there are those out there who don't want to hear the truth....tough!!!

NOT FOR LONG.

My favorite part of this story >>>
"That trend marks a clear departure from the weeks before the Pennsylvania primary, during which Obama almost consistently held a wide lead over Clinton. "
Americans are waking up ........finally ....... thank you Rev. Wright !

HILLARY 08

These polls are meaningless. They ask "likely" voters for their preferences, and "likely" means they have voted before. There have been hundreds of thousands of new voters registered this election cycle that will not show up in these polls. We won't know until election day how those people will break, although it seems to be the Obama campaign that has brought most of them into the process.

This shows Hillary has stamina and staying power to race to the end. I like Hillary's grit and determination. Great quality for a leader – who doesnt quit.

Obama has too many unknown and untested – and compare the 2, I have more confidence in Hillary.

Go Hillary Go – 08

Did badly in Penn, did badly in the debate, now Obama's chickens have come home to roost.

Buyers remorse has started to set in on Obama. As more people realize he is not qualified to be president, expect to see Hillary take more of a lead in these polls. When she wins in Indiana next week – and possibly pulls out a surprise win or close one in NC – watch for the flood gates to open.

All those polls are moving in one way or another depending on the nastiness of the TV coverage. When Hillary was with Bosnia, Obama had a consistent lead. Now that his pastor is resurfacing, Clinton gained a bit, but she will be down again as Obama gains more positive coverage.

CNN, you should stop favoring Clinton for the fact that she bought advertisment on your website. This is not journalism!

Give me a break Wright didn't become crazy overnight. No way Obama didn't know this is how Wright was Obama just didn't think he would get tied to him. The time for outrage was sever years ago. You named your book after him you liar!

I have been a democrat my entire voting life – never missed an election, but if Clinton is not the the democratic candidate I will vote for a Republican for the first time. I'm a 68 year old female and part Native American – I'm not a bigot, but WILL NOT vote for Obama!

Things will change and the polls will spread out again in favor of Obama!

Hang in there Obama. Get rid of your albatross (Wright) and keep moving up towards May 6.

CNN IF YOU REPORT REAL NEWS LIKE THIS COURT CASE THAT IS LOOMING OVER CLINTON, VIEWERS WILL SEE HOW SHE CONTINUES TO LIE ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. THANKS FOR DOING YOUR JOB OF NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING

I agree with you Angie Pen and I beleive Hilary should be the next president but for a commander in chief we need the muscles of a man. We all know that Hilary wears the pants and that she is capable but OBAMA, NEVER!!!

The polls lie like Hillary Clinton

I simply don't understand why this is being reported anymore. Hillary CANNOT win the nomination. That's the math. If she wins it, it will be more stolen than JFK's 1960 victory in Illinois during the general, more stolen than Dubya's 2000 victory in Florida. Hillary Clinton is counting on the superdelegates to do what lay Democrats haven't: give her the nomination. She is a liar and a crook, and she is a detriment to our political system, our country, and our people.

Well, that's nice! Looks like that Indiana is going to be a tie and Clinton is still that much behind! A whole 138 delegates. Winning half of Indiana will only bring Obama and her ahead another 50% of the calculated delegates. Hellooooo... North Carolina puts Clinton behind... and yet Obama still exceeds with more delegates again!!!

It might get wider for Clinton as she is about to take the plunge and go on the O'Reily Factor. You know he won't be easy on her. She is one tough woman.

What the blurb fails to mention is that this Gallop Poll has McCain in front of Obama. Clinton still leads McCain handily.

CNN, enough of Rev. wright. Talk more about issues.....please.

Thank you.

If the superdelagates have any brains (which is highly doubtful at this point), they have to realize by now that a candidate Obama in the General Election means bye bye democrats in '08!
What a shame!

Obama just picked up another superdelegate, Richard Machacek, a member of the Democratic National Committee from Iowa.

YES WE CAN

Obama took so long to divorce himself from his Reverend because he used the Trinity Church in Chicago to get elected to State Senate. Without Rev. Wright Obama would not be where he is today.

It is sad that Obama did not express sympathy for what is clearly a man on the verge of senility. A man he called uncle who is clearly not well. What a shameful day for Obama.

Obama will still be the nominee.

Rise Hillary Rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary 08

And that's the best the original front-runner, lead-pipe-cinch, crown-clutching DemQueen will get. Not good enough, never was.

NO MATTER HOW THIS ENDS, WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH AND HIS TWIN MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

His idea of healthcare--> Play God with you body, and DON'T GET SICK!!!!!!

OBAMA WILL WIN INDIANA. THE REV WRIGHT ISSUE IS NOT WHAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE! WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THESE HIGH GAS PRICES, AND HEALTHCARE, AND THE WAR IN IRAQ, AND...

People are starting to learn who Obama really is. Hopefully, he and his reverend will keep shedding light on their true nature and we will see the better candidate pull through for a win.

HILLARY.......YES SHE WILL.

But Hillary! LIVE'S...

Senator Obama is the best candidate to our next President. I support him 100%.

People,
Open your eyes and say Obama bye bye

It's over for Obama... if we want the White House back we need to back Hillary or simply give it up to McCain. Maybe Obama can lick his wounds and try again in 8 years.

Being an Independent makes my decision much easier if Obama has this nomination stolen from him.

I cannot and will not vote for Hillary no matter what happens.

OBAMA leads Clinton in every poll. Just tell the truth people.

We are all tired of the Clintons.

His jig is up – he may end up losing INdiana and may be North Carolina too. His supporters will start off on their bashing campaign since nothing else is working

My God… I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE JUNKING UP THESE BLOGS!!! Face the facts… You've lost, you are the losers, and Obama has won the nomination by the legitimate rules the party has established for decades. The Press is just keeping this alive for the story. Everyone else in the real world knows its over… and unfortunately the Clintons have thrown away all their dignity and respect they worked so hard for all their lives. Just to come in second place….
