Please! The polls change every week! Next week Obama numbers will be better. It would not surprise me if the Clinton campaign paid Rev. Wright to look like an complete idiot in front of the National Press Conference. Why was he invited away?

Too bad the Michelle ticker is now closed. I was going to ask her if Barack made good of his promise to quit smoking once he starts his campaign.

I thought she didn't track polls silly witch...She is such a liar. I can't stand her.

I agree RG and deb, it seems that everybody has forgotten all problematic issues related to Clintons like, impeachment of Bill Clinton as a result of lying under oath, white water scandal, pardon gate (Bill Clinton pardon controversy), Mark Penn, Bosnia sniper fire, … and media is not interested in Peter Paul case (Hillary’s fundraiser who has been convicted of fraud) and Clinton’s ex pastor Rev. William Procanick who has been convicted for sexual child abuse.

These are the issues that will be raised by republicans in the general election.

Did anyone ask Lincoln about the beliefs of his pastor? Or Roosevelt, or Washington? Or any other presidential candidate?

I mean, this really is such a trivial issue when compared to the real problems we face. I actually get a pang in my stomach when i see the number of people who are persuaded by this manufactured issue.

Obama's church and his former pastor are pretty irrelevant to the type of president he'll be and the type of policies he'll implement. And I know i'll probably take heat for this, but i really believe that if Obama was white, this wouldn't be an issue. John Hagee, who is white, has said some pretty inflamible, disgusting, divisive things and no one's holding John McCain accountable for him. Why the double standard, i wonder. Is it racial? I'm sure for the fox news crowd it is, but for the rest of it, maybe its because there is nothing else on Obama. They've got no dirt, no affairs, no shady practices, all they have is a wack job former preacher, so they're running with it. For reasons unknown to me.

I just wish for once we could have a political debate about the serious issues we face. Not the process, or politics. But Issues. And i really thought that Barack Obama would give us that campaign. And much to his credit, he's tried.

But political opponents and the corporate media have decided its more important to sensationalize their news coverage, much to the disservice of America.

The Clinton's have been conning this country for years, it is know time that we let them know that we have had enough. Sure, I gues to some point we have forgiving them for their past, but that does not mean we want to go through it again. Just look at our current situation and then look at the characters involved: Reagan/BUSH, Reagan/BUSH, BUSH/Quale, CLINTON/Gore, CLINTON/Gore, BUSH/Chenny, BUSH/Chenny, For the last 28 years two names stand out in this list. How stupid can we be, if we contiune to vote in this manner, than we deserve what we get.

How accurate do you think these polls are. No matter who you favor, if a pollster asked an Obama or a Clinton backer who they would vote for McCain or the other canidate. They will say McCain now because it will help their canidate. Once we have a nominee and a few weeks go by. They will come to their senses and support the Democrat and these polls will change bigtime. These polls are less than meaningless, they are grossly inacurate.

Lee From Treasure Island Florida May 1st, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Hillary Clintons baggage has not been aired. Her Pastor has been charged with Child molestation and sentenced to 7 years in prison. What will the Republicans do with that!?!?!

Lee, you are miss informed, the paster that you refer to was a paster from a town named Clinton, NY, and has nothing to do with Sen Clinton, and i will not say you said that on purpuse just to hurt Sen. Clinton.
. CNN should correct this miss statement.

CNN needs to show some integrity by releasing all the news on Hillary just like you have been on Obama. After all, everything is on YouTube. Go ahead and conceal everything about Hillary.

Some women favor NObama because they find him handsome and charismatic (give me a break), these are REAL reasons to vote for a candidate?

Some men dislike Senator Clinton because she is tough as nails and has a set of B-S!!!!!

Senator Clinton will be able to get the job done!!!

You NObama supporters, I mean followers!

Go Hillary!!!!!

Simply put: Hillary is not truthful! She is fake, her smile is fake, her laugh is fake, the way she shakes her head when she thinks she made a deep meaning statement, everything in her person is fake.
She doesn't qualify as a janitor!

Hillary is the only one who will win in November!
We are Hillary supporters, not Hillary supporters that will vote Obama! We will switch to McCain! The move is on! We will not have Obama!

a REPORT the PETER PAUL vs CLINTON trial

So Jeremiah Wright goes nuts all over the media and for the first time in months, Clinton is polling favoribly compared to Obama . . . so it's time to jump ship? Say anything, change nothing. If she loved this Country, or her Party, as much as she loves Power, she would have taken the high road since February. Scorched earth . . . .

Everybody keep talking about polls. Remember they only reflect about
1000 people.

i'll take Clinton's sniper fire over Rev. Wright anyday....
Obama's campaign is a fraud and hopelessness over Change.

As a matter of fact, the ony CHANGE should be the Super Delegates he has stopping the puppet wagon and supporting Hillary.

Hillary 08 or bust!

I wonder why Obama will not use his middle name. Makes one think. Hillary will be a MUCH better President than Hussein Obama. She has what it takes......GO HILLARY 08

This time around its three against one, McCain, Clinton, Wright against Obama, and he's fighting in a fair decent way. Who is srongest, the one with three against him or the one with only one against her? Hillary only want to steal the nomination, i guess when you break this down, a liar is also a thief.

To Hillary: Why do you want to steal the nomination from Obama Hillary? Drop out and don't do it because a lot of people will hate you for it and may never vote. You can't win unless you steal it, i ask you please to reconsider out of the once goodness of your heart and drop out of the race. Thank you

To Cnn: Please post this message... Thank you.

To Reality Check who said "shut the hell up" and called Senator Clinton supporters "idiots" - yeah, that's the CHANGE I'm looking for.

CNN, WHERE IS THE PETER PAUL STORY?????

HRC AND BUBBA ARE INVOLVED IN A FRAUD CASE AGAINST INDICTED FELON PETER PAUL!!!!!!!!

PAUL HAS HRC ON TAPE THANKING HIM FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS AND GREAT WORK WITH HER CAMPAIGN!!!!

WHERE IS THIS STORY???/ ITS 10 TIMES BIGGER THAN THE WRIGHT STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aksing how one will vote in Nov on May 1st is a joke. Once Barack is the actual nominee vs McSame the numbers change!

HRC ias behind in popular votes, states won, pleged delegates and soon super delegates.....get over it...she has lost!!!!!!!!

Notice the Repub are laready targeting Barack...they know he has won already.

Watch out for sniper fire Hrc as you leave the race...hahahahaha

And his pitch is...................................OUTSIDE! BALL FOUR!! GAME over GO HOME!!

Obama is fighting a 2-front war and still has huge support, enough to win the general election. Once the party is united behind one candidate, his support will swell again to a very large constituency. How can she claim she is the most electable?

It is amazing to see how much she will go through to destroy her own party. She should have bowed out gracefully. Instead, she has made her and her opponent unelectable. And John McCain gets a free ride to the White House.

Its about time the major news media starts reporting ALL of the facts about Hilliary Clinton. When the public starts to realize all of the underhanded things she and her campaign have been doing, and also realize that those stories have been stifled by the media, those so important TV ratings just might plummet!

We knew that sooner or later Obama was going to peak. Hillary peaked in 2000 after her husband left office and there is nothing new you can dig up on her. In the past 3 weeks the dirt on Obama has been so messy that folks are thinking if they had known this before they would have not voted for him. With Hillary I know what I'm getting – a balanced budget, a trade surplus, a universal health-care plan and a husband who likes hot sexy interns. I'd take that over racism, bigotry, push-me-under-the-bus, and unpatriotic doctrines any day.

PS. Obama knew exactly what his pastor was preaching for 20 yrs. He did go to church for crying out loud!!!

Hillary Clinton's tactics aren’t working anymore because it looks like it could be over for her. It seems like she has been defeated. The rest of the campaign before the convention looks to be merely a formality – or maybe she is merely laying the groundwork for what she hopes and prays to be her “I told you so” campaign of 2012? At this point in the present race, does she believe that she has accomplished her true goal in creating enough damage to the Obama campaign to make that possible? If so, then who is the real ‘Judas’?

Is America ready for a woman president? Many people in the United States and around the world would rejoice at this prospect. There have been many strong powerful women leaders throughout history, yet none in their struggles and their victories have ever conducted themselves and acted the way that Hillary Clinton has during this campaign. No doubt this great nation is ready for a woman president. Count me in! But is it ready for this one?

If Hillary was elected the nominee the negative attacks from the republicans would start, they haven't yet as she is there preferred opponent.
Also, polls at this time are irrelevant as supporters of both candidates are playing politics by saying that they would vote for the republicans rather than the other nominee simply to bolster their candidates argument to the superdeligates.

I suppose it's alright for Obama to pitch to the super delegates and not for Hilary. That is the logic of Obama supporters.
If anyone is sounding afraid and desparate – it is you Obama folks.

Facts are facts. She won the states that she won. She's leading McCain in the crucial states while Obama is barely competitive.
The last thing you Obama peeps want is to piss the other half off. In case by technicality he clinch the nomination, all it takes for McCain is a fraction of the other half (that's us) of the democratic supporters.

So enough of the immaturity, wisen up. Don't tick us all off in the same way you ticked off Florida and Michigan.

By the way, has he had the time to think about offering a solution to the gas price hike?!

Now please post a fair comment CNN.

In his ecxellent book titled, Free Lunch, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter David Cay Johnston describes the sale of the Manequench Company to China, " Complaints about the sale of Magnequench were made to the US government because if the military application of the neodymium rare earth magnets. Stiil, the Clinton administration, an ardent proponent of Globalization, approved the sale. It did impose one condition: that the new owners keep magnet production and technology in the United States. Soon the new owners of Mangequench were busiy buying up other magnet factories in the United States, including GA Powders, an Idaho firm that had used taxpayer money to develop the powerful new magnets. Once the new owners has a monopoloy on production of these powerful magnets in the United States, they began shutting down facilities and moving manufacturing to China. By 2003, the original Magnequench factory in Indiana was the last Americam production line for the powerful magnets. Once it closed and its equipment was hauled off, the United States became dependent on China for these magnets, including the strategically vital ones needed for smart bombs.............more

Right, cause these polls matter but the months and months of previous polls favoring Obama didn't matter. People waffle a little bit, but people will ultimately go for Obama when he is the nominee. Obama is the consistent winner in the polls. Remember a lot of Republicans saying they would never go for McCain, but now they are supporting him???

To the idiots posting about the 'former Clinton pastor' convicted of child-molestation, and those yelling about the Peter Paul case -

Go to Factcheck.org.

The phrase should be 'former Clinton, NY pastor' – as in the town of CLINTON, NY – named after New York's first governor, George Clinton (not the Funkadelic musician). This pastor is not connected with the Clintons. [This info is also available at Swopes.com].

You'll see that Peter Paul has 4 fraud convictions, and, while he did help organize a Hollywood fundraiser for Hillary's Senatorial race, and also for the DNC [which is how he knows her and Bill] – he lied to the FEC about how much the fundraiser cost.

All of his previous attempts at suing the Clintons and Stan Lee, along with others have been thrown out of court, or have gone against him, and been upheld by the Supreme Court when he appealed.

This latest 'case' is his claim that Bill Clinton wooed away a Chinese investor, who was going to invest in Stan Lee Media for Peter Paul. Supposedly, Bill told the investor to go to another person. The investor had about $5 million to invest.

Peter was trying to get some real big investors to bolster up Stan Lee Media, because he had been buying millions of dollars worth of Stan Lee Media stock, by borrowing against the margins on stock he owned, and used phony names to do the buys. This inflated the value of the stock, enabling larger loans.

He failed to cover the margin loans, and Stan Lee Media collapsed. (Stan Lee got royally screwed by Peter Paul).

[By the way, Peter organized the fundraiser for Hillary so that he could try to get Bill to give him a pardon for his past crimes, and so he could 'hire' Bill to front his companies - especially Stan Lee Media. Bill wasn't interested].

All of the other people proclaiming Hillary's and Bill's guilt on Peter's video are LONG TIME CLINTON ATTACKERS – one of them worked with Ken Starr.

Apparently, Peter Paul believes that the Clintons somehow knew that he was going to sue them over the non-hiring of Bill, so they convinced the George W. Bush administration to arrest Peter Paul, 18 days before his lawsuit – and, because he was in Brazil, they got the Brazilian government to hold him (Peter Paul) in prison there for over 2 years. (Bear in mind that Mr. Paul was fighting extradition at the time).

All of Peter Paul's allegations about Hillary, Bill, and members of the DNC fundraising group have been examined and dismissed as false (except for a fine [$35,000] against the DNC fundraising group, for under-reporting the costs of the fundraiser [whereas Peter Paul OVER-REPORTED it by 300%].

I would think that an objective and informative mediasource like CNN would want to air out some of "the other" candidate's baggage instead of replaying Wright/bitter/Ayers-i guess not. Even though irrelevant like Mr. Wright, they could sell a few more papers/get a few more web-site hits for you-just a suggestion.

Webb Hubbell?
Frank Giustra?
Mark Rich?
Hugh Rodham?
Democrats losing the congressional majority during Clinton terms?
Paul vs. Clinton?

You know the primary is almost over and Obama will be the nominee, you should try to capitalize on "newsworthy" stories while you can-just trying to help you out.

As Clinton has stated many times, she does not listen to the polls. Or will she deny that too.

It is too late for Obama and his wife to disown their pastor, friend, mentor, uncle of 20 years. They should have done it the day they walked into that church and at the very least in his speech in Philadelphia ("I can no more disown him as I can my white grandmother"). The crazy man we have seen over the last few days is the same crazy man, from 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and even last year. Obama acts like the things Rev. Wright said over the last few days is something new when this has been out for about a year now and most of America has been watching the video tapes of Rev. Wright (GD America and AIDS theory) for months. Obama only gave that press conference for political gain. Funny that he (Obama) disowns him (Rev. Wright) when he "disrespected" Obama but when Rev. Wright disrespected the nation and Obama gave that "eloquent" speech he could not disown him.

Obama has shown his poor judgment with Rev. Wright, Rezko, Aires, Auchi and the like. I wonder what type of characters Obama will pick for his cabinet members??

Obama should do what is best for the Democratic Party and drop out now so we are not stuck with a Republican White House again!

Rev. Wright-gate
Rezko-gate
Aires-gate
Auchi-gate
Bitter-Gate
PA-Gate
Flag pin-gate
I don't want to debate-gate
Not my handwriting-gate
Typical white person-gate
Fist time proud of my country-gate
Donor-gate
Canada NAFTA-gate
Present vote-gate
Partial birth Abortion-gate
Gun Control-gate
No parent permission abortion-gate
Let sex crime offenders out early-gate

And many, many more

Nice try, losers

Obama is the only candidate that speaks to voters in clear and intelligent manner. The other two think that we all are idiots that vote for populist proposal as the tax gas break of $18 cents a gallon. No more Clinton or Bush dynasties, we want Change and democracy, no more old fashion Washington politics.

Obama, yes, we can!!

Hussein Obama is unamerica,unqualify,unprepare and untested to lead this country in the time of crisis.

Go Hillary!

Every one of you who claim you'll vote for McCain if your preferred candidate doesn't win the Democratic nomination should just shut the hell up. You're all either (1) Republican "concern trolls" trying to make Obama AND Clinton look weaker, (2) you're lying hypocrites who don't actually believe what you say you believe, or (3) you're a freaking idiot.

No matter which of the three is true for you, just shut up and get off teh internets until 2009 so the grown ups can have an intelligent discussion.

Ever notice that when the polls are against Hillary they don't mean anything. But when they are in her favor they mean everything.

Momentum is starting to shift back and the Hillary people are panicing already. The race was over a while ago folks. The Clinton's just haven't figured it out yet.

DESPERATION!!! They know it is over! Reality is setting in,,she needs to win BIG, LANDSLIDE, not 1-2 points...the math is not there and they know it..last ditch attempt

The numbers are with Obama, he has them in the undeclared and the Clintons know it, he basically has about 65-70% of the remaining Supers in his corner....she needs to win each remaining state by 30 points and get 70% of the remaining supers to make it close, MI and FLA won't even help her. She has to win NC and INDY HUGE!! not be competitive...I also think the DNC has had it with the Clintons...If Harold Ickes is the guy making the plea, you know it is a last ditch attempt as he is the last General

YOU TUBE has the skinny on Hillary.. You need to look at this because the MEDIA won't report this story on behalf of all Americans' getting info of her. CNN really is the Clinton News Network..

Just put the two titles in the search engin of youtube.

The Shocking Video Hillary Does NOT Want You To See! (1of2)

Hillary Clinton Campaign Finance Fraud Part 2.

Please look and listen...

the democratic leadership just doesnt get it. they continue to move in the direction of appointing senator obama to the nomination. as recent polls show blue collar and rural white voters will turn to senator mccain. just look at the votes by county in Oh and Pa.

Okay folks, here goes, tell me what you think about these polls? Is there some kind of a trend here or am I missing something.
First of all sample sizes are different, timing is different (relevant because of certain issues in the media at the time etc) Now I have segregated some of these polls that have all been included in the average of all polls.

(ALL IN FAVOUR OF CLINTON)

FOX NEWS.................04/28–04/29...........+3%
RASMUSSEN.............04/27–04/30...........+2%
GALLUP......................04/28–04/30...........+4%

(ALL IN FAVOUR OF OBAMA)

AP/IPSOS..........................04/23–04/27....+3%
NEWSWEEK....................04/24–04/25....+7%
NBC/WSJ..........................04/25–04/28....+3%
CBSNEWS/NYTIMES.....04/25–04/29.....+8%

You can see clearly from the above that only Fox, Rasmussen, and Gallup........are the Pollsters who favour Clinton, they were taken for shorter time spans etc and two out of three include April 30. Now the Clinton's super delegates are using "Polls" to try to convince super delegates. I am not saying the above is perfect but it sure paints a different picture. If you would like to confirm the above just go to "RCP"
polls

I'm really scared. If the Superdelegates join hands in a suicide pact and jump off the cliff with Obama....we will have John McCain as our next President.

RG, thanks for pointing that out, I proceeded to do my research on the Clinton vs. Peter Paul issue, and can't believe that there are people still thinking of voting to bring the Clintons back anywhere near the White House.

If you don't like the current poll, wait a couple of days. yeah right. use the polls of this week not the one from last week to make an argument. You are ridiculous Ickes. These polls are in the midst of Obama taking fire from you, the Clintons, the Republicans, and Rev. Wright. Give me a break. Shut up, Rev Wright shuts up, and let's take a poll.

A democratic party in disorder and confusion will definitley result in a defeat in November. The American people (and the people in the rest of the world) will be the big losers. One person has the power to unlock this stilemate: Is Hillary Clinton able to announce that she is willing to be a vice-president. In fact the announcement of an Obama/Clinton ticket would be historic and will change all of a sudden the current situation of a democratic party in problems. She would become without any question the most powerful vice president in the history of the United States. This is important: A strong America is crucial for the future of our planet. So, once again: "a small step for (a wo)man; one giant leap for mankind".

Hillary needs to gracefully exit the stage. NOW. She has no chance against McCain and the baggage that could, and would, be unloaded if she were nominated is downright frightening. Furthermore, her credibility even as a Senator is starting to look questionable. I will not even start about Bill appearing to be in the early stages of dementia.

Ickes is wasting his time. The superdelegates don't want facts they want Change and a Uniter. This is why if they make Obama the nominee McCain will be our President.

That has to be a JOKE, with the Mighty work out Barack Obama, has been doing over the last 5 months, I am sure his enough Strength, Boldness, and Experience to handle John McCain, after all he has only being taking a stroll by himself on the Campaign Trail. This is no Comparsion in this Match.

Jim

HRC – guess you would have thought your $3.2 biliion in earmarks should score you more SD.

$3.2 Billion??????? That should be used for gas relief.

You are so lost.

Gee, I hope Rev. Wright makes an untimely appearance soon, so that Senator Clinton can officially close the deal.

Go Hillary!!!!

Rev. Wright, PLEASE disclose MORE garbage on NObama!!!

Scandal?????

This is to FEDUP: stop whining and shut up!! CNN has more than gone overboard to present Clinton in the positive light and bring up all the problems Obama is facing....you have no room to complain that Hillary isn't getting her fair share of good publicity....she has been doing a wonderful job throwing Obama under the bus and keeping the media far away from digging up more substantial garbage on her, which we all know is out there and ready to be unleashed

Hillary Clinton is not the one to beat McSame. To think about what they will bust her with if she wins is something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

The only reason Obama hasn't pulled out the stops on Clinton is because she is one of us (Democrat) and doesn't want to split the party and wants the Democrats to be united. Just because he's quiet now doesn't mean that he'll be quiet with McSame.

Think about it, the Republicans want Hillary to win so that they can get the White House again by airing out her old dirty and new laundry to the public.

I hate to see that coming!

RG & Deb, I agree with you as well I always knew about the Peter Paul V Clinton I just read the other day about the minister while she's talking about Obama's pastor, I have been waiting to hear CNN say something about that and it still hasn't happen I wonder if she's paying them but it makes me angry because they are not telling people the truth.

HILLARY 08 , YOUR THE BEST AND ONLY CHOICE FOR ME.

Hillary Clinton will thrive in againt Republican John McCain.

Hillary is tougher..

AUTOMATIC DELEGATES OBAMA CANNOT STOP HIS BLEEDING>.

Hillary Is a surefire winner..

Hillary is the only candidate that can take the White House back for the Democrats. Any other decision is just us Democrats shooting ourselves in the foot again.

Used to back Barack Obama. Now a prayer for Hillary Clinton.

Obama wins the nomination by attrition only. Does anyone honestly think if we knew this stuff about him, or if we saw how he handled adversity 6 months ago he'd even be in this race anymore? Nope. This is a nightmare. We are giving the nomination to a guy who:

a. is not electable, and

b. is not prepared to handle the job.

Yikes.

Do you all really think the Electoral College is going to put an inexperienced unknown with racist ties in the Whitehouse? I love to see all the bloggers who think the popular vote elects the President.

Do some home work! Clinton has a better chance than Obama beating McCain any day of the week. Wright just proved why we are not ready for all that addition turmoil!

Clinton 08!

Obama will lose to McCain. By the way, the Pastor Wright debacle was a staged event to let Obama throw him under the bus. Very clever of Wright and Obama to stage this entire thing. Oh yeah, suddenly Wright goes off the deep end about Obama, a man who has been like a son to him for 20 years. Wright did this for Obama. It worked.

Obama says he doesn't take money from special interest groups. This is complete nonsense.

Obama fundraisers who work for law firms that lobby and share the fees include:

•Allan Katz, a Florida lawyer who chairs the government relations practice of Akerman Senterfitt. The firm took in $3.6 million for Washington lobbying last year, according to public records compiled by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics. The firm touts on its website "an enviable level of access" for clients.

•Mark Alderman, managing partner of Philadelphia's WolfBlock law firm. The firm's lobbying subsidiary earned $930,000 in Washington last year representing clients including defense contractor Lockheed Martin, records show.

•Scott Blake Harris, managing partner of Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis, a Washington telecommunications law firm. Harris withdrew as a lobbyist for Microsoft and Cisco in June, but his partners still lobby, he said.

If the Dem primary was run like the GOP primary or general election this would not even be a contest. With the exception of Illinois, Hillary won all the big states and if you don't think that counts ask Al Gore. Obama wins states that are going Republican in the fall, like Idaho, Kansas, Wyoming, Alabama, Mississippi. If he gets the nomination we'll be listening to McCain's inaugeral speech in January 2009

Yes, Why haven't we heard more about Peter Paul.

Just because some judge has said she doesn't have to testify until after the November election doesn't mean she isn't involved in a huge fraud case that voters should know about.

Why didn't Charles Gibson and George S ask her about this at the last debate? Especially since it involved fundraising for her Senate campaign. It is certainly more important than talking about flag pins and the other drivel they raised.

For all the people calling Obama names' racist (though he is half white), hater, Muslim (ummm...was that Rev Wright for 20 yrs or Imam Wright, I seem to miss the connection).

Have you noticed that for his ENTIRE campaign – even at this point where his ratings are falling – he is yet to being up any of Billary's baggage – which there is PLENTY OF. This is the only reason her approval rating is going up, because he has chosen NOT to join her down there in the pigpen, wallowing in the slush and mud, even when it is costing him.

I can promise you if she gets the nomination, the Republicans gutter politics machine will not be as nice. But then again she will be quite at home on familiar territory. I will be waiting with popcorn and a soda, cuz I sure am NOT going to be voting for her. To think this was my candidate up to 6 months ago...sad...

yes supers should base themselves on "polls" rather than
number of states won
number of pledge delegates won
numbers in super delegates endorsements

that's it??? that is their last argument??

AND YES WHERE IS COVERAGE OF PAUL VS CLINTON

I too challange the media to cover the Peter Paul case. The Rev Wright story has been shoved down our throats for weeks and weeks and absolutely no mention of the SCANDAL that is currently in California courts!

Obama a uniter–give me a break. He inspires hatred and animosity; just read the comments!

Wow! I see now what it is the Superdelegates know that many of us Joe Citizens didn't!

The landmark civil fraud suit, Paul v Clinton et al pending in Los Angeles Superior Court against the Clintons on and off since 2001 has been hidden from the public by the mainstream media for seven years. While the case was showcased in the documentary trailer for Hillary! Uncensored which made internet history with more than five million downloads in a few weeks in November, 2007, it has remained under the radar of the public consciousness as part of the greatest political scandal cover-up since Watergate.
On Thursday, February 21, 2008, a hearing before Judge Munoz will be held in Paul v Clinton with David Kendall representing the Clintons. A trial date will be set for late in 2008 and a discovery schedule will be created for sworn depositions to be taken of all principal witnesses.
The limited perception and understanding that exists of the case is that it is simply a business fraud suit by Clinton donor and erstwhile Clinton employer Peter Paul against Bill Clinton who was aided and abetted by Hillary in inducing Paul to spend more than $1.2 million to elect Hillary to the Senate with a false promise to work with paul when Clinton left the White House.
But the prosecution of the first suit to haul a President and Senator into court for fraud and coercion has the potential of revealing through sworn testimony of the Clinton hierarchy of the Democratic Party the culture of corruption that permeates the party and egregious examples of party leaders including Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Terry McAuliffe as frauds and scofflaws.
The threat to the party as well as the Clintons that is posed by the discovery and trial in the suit is that it not only links the Clintons personally to felony violations of the law and obstructions of justice but it will also destroy the credibility of Clinton surrogates who control the party at a time when Obama will be looking to take over the Party with his people.
The significance of the lawsuit is that it exposes a broader focus on the Corruption of the Clinton Cabal that has a stranglehold on the Democratic Party.

Yeah Right!!!! And then what happens when real negatives surface (Peter Paul, etc.)?

Sorry! She has already threaten to bomb Iran (i.e. another war), her gas tax is a joke, she still has to appear in court regarding campaign fraud. Do you want me to go on? Superdelegates get it, why do you and her! Lets talk about her church...Wouldn't the people like to know their beliefs?

It's funny how her campaign uses polls when she is leading but when she's not leading she says "oh I don't watch the polls since they constantly change."

More Clinton double talk.

Paul v. Clinton is a civil suit filed in 2004 and currently being held in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The plaintiff Peter Paul, alleges that President Bill Clinton and his wife, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, deceived him into paying for the Gala Hollywood Farewell Salute to President Clinton, during Hillary Clinton's first Senate race in 2000, by making a promise that the President would work for Paul's company, Stan Lee Media, after his Presidential term was over. Paul alleges that the President broke his promise and stole his business partner, causing his business to crumble and, further, that his contributions to Hillary Clinton's campaign were falsely reported to the Federal Election Commission.[1] Besides the Clintons, three other individuals who were involved in fundraising or the gala, are named as defendants in the suit.[2]

In April 2006 the judge in the case dismissed all charges against Hillary Clinton,[2] for lack of evidence[2] and due to a California law that broadly protects political activities.[3] Paul filed an appeal of the decision to dismiss her from the case. A hearing was held on September 7, 2007;[3] on October 16, 2007, the appeal was denied by California's Second District Court of Appeal, which upheld the lower court's opinion and said that Hillary Clinton could recoup her legal costs.[4] After the ruling, Paul said he would consider a further appeal to the Supreme Court of California.[4] Most but not all of the charges against President Clinton have also been dismissed by the court, on procedural grounds.[3]

wow, all I read are anti Hillary statements, objective aren't we? Can't wait for Obama to go up against McCain and get ripped apart for the phoney he is....

I'm am switching my commentary allegiance to a different news outlet. About half of my comments make it through and I have heard the same complaints from other Hillary supporters while all of these moronic blurbs from Obama supporters are getting being posted, obviously with no moderation. Time to take the level of discussion up a notch. Perhaps CBS. Not sure yet. CNN is awaiting moderation. Hillary 08 or McCain. Obama. No way in Hades.

Hillary's 'testicular fortitude' can be put to good use when the DCN and the Obama campaign has her stump through Ohio, Texas, Penn for Barack!

don't know why my comments don't get posted...

looks like Hillary is going to lose but Obama won't be able to win the GE. This independant does not believe in Obama and will not vote for him.

Hillary '12 – Rise, Hillary, Rise

If we were going by the weekly polls Obama would have been nominated long time ago.
Lets stop the madness, and let the process go on.
Why is it that the Clinton's camp are always coming up with new rules whenever it suites them?
Let the people vote, and the superdelegates are free to support whomever they choice. Isn't that what Sen. Hillary herself said a while back? Are they scared that superdelgates are moving away from their camp and going to obama?
LET THE PEOPLE VOTE IN THE REMAINING STATES. NO GAMES, NO CHANGING RULES.

superdelegates..

the only electable candidate is hillary

dont give this election away.....

many democrats in florida will vote mccain if obama is nominee

hillary 08

So... the polls are clearly right when they are in your favor, but for the rest of the primary, when they were not, they were wrong?

You are more full of crap than an Arkansas outhouse, and your lies smell far worse...

I wonder how much Hillary must have paid the polling companies.

You Obama backers need look at the big picture .When all said and done the Demorcrats need to get the white house back if they want to get anything done .Rev Wright has hurt Obama with the Independents and Blue Collar voters .If he looses Indiana as bad as Pennsylvannia you will see a big shift his credibility .Obama is a nice guy but he did this to his self .

You Obama supporters are going to be the laughing stock when wright comes out with the real truth, then what are you going to say? Do you honestly think he has got a plan? Oh well, its your cry. haha.

The Clintons and the MSM do not want us to know about Peter Paul. CNN is scared. Did you know a pro-Clinton judge postponed the start of the trail until after November 2008? This is so HRC will not have to testify during a campaign and will never testify if she is President. How convenient! If HRC is in the WH – get used to 4 more years of scandal. Electable – yes – for tabloids and MSM but not for Americans who need help.

She made it clear last night that she is a "rich person" who is privileged and should be empathetic to us poor folks.

Actually, Obama is taking on three candidates...McCain, Bill and Hillary Clinton, lets call this for what it is....I keep hearing this "tested" about Hillary, she is a Junior Senator, basically by acclamation as she did not even live in the state and has no politically ties beyond fundraising. She has not been under any attack linking to her to outside scandals, (Wright) and the self made scandal "snipergate" she handled with idignation as to "how dare you?". How will SHE stand up to the Republican attack machine once they start unloading on her personally and dredging up the Clinton Skeletons, and we all know they are there. She has not had to answer to this at all in the primary....She certainly likes to throw though, and we all know the school yard bully always turns out to be the biggest wimp, while the quiet guy is one who kicks your $^%^$

Clinton, you need to be winning super delegates 2 to 1 to have a prayer, but instead this is what Obama is doing.

Yes, Obama's ratings are down, thanks in no small part to your divisive tactics. Maybe McCain can give you a job as a campaign manager for the general election; you'd certainly be "ready on day one" for that job.

TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Since the media refuses to do any reporting or revealing of the Peter Paul vs Clinton fraud case in California, we should start our own movement and flood every last blog on CNN and every blogging website that exists on the World Wide Web!!! It's utterly ridiculous that the media has not covered this story yet!!! ARE YOU ALL WITH ME?!?!

Well, if the polls are the predictor, then why didn't Hillary drop out when obama was 10 or 11 points ahead of her. This is just more proof that Hillary Clinton will use anything she can to win.

Peter Paul Vs. Clinton

Look it up on YouTube people. Hillary and Bill are looking at a felony if convicted. Granted they'll slip out of it but this will come up against the GOP.

Does Obama have any possible felonies convictions coming up. I don't think so.

Electability is a red herring. Either Clinton or Obama can win, thanks to the electoral college advantage the Dems have.

The question is simple: who would you rather have a President: Barak or Hillary?

And if you based your decision on race or gender, then you're guilty of prejudice.

The democratic vote is currently being split between 2 people. The Republicans have their candidate already. Until the dems have theirs, you can't get an accurate poll.

BYE, BYE HILLARY....

AND THE ONLY REASON WHY THE MEDIA AND HILLARY KEEP THE SO-CALLED "WRIGHT" STORY GOING IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO USE AGAINST OBAMA....OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE DIONSAUR BONES IN HIS CLOSET LIKE HILLARY....BECAUSE IF THE MEDIA & HILLARY COULD FIND ANYTHING ELSE NEGATIVE ON OBAMA, IT WOULD BE BROADCASTED OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER...................................................................................
AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

michelle obama said to go back at the issues.What issues obama doesn't talk about the issues, he only talks about hope and change.Hope and change doesn.t give a job,put food on the table and gas in the car.HILLARY is the only one that is talking about the issues,obama is talking about Wright all the time.

Are they sceaming to change the rules again? They are like a pesty fly.
Get real and face the fact, Hill, Bill & C. You can just ease on down the road soon.

Obama 08!

Someone is a little desperate...

I really wish CNN would do some unbiased reporting and quit continuing with this Rev. Wright issue, when even Obama's opponents agree that Obama is not that kind of person.

McCain's pastor that believes New Orleans happened because of God's fury, and Clinton's pastor's sexual offenses are pale in comparison to offensive, but not all that false remarks from a black man who has lived through opression and racism his whole life.

BYE, BYE HILLARY....

AND THE ONLY REASON WHY THE MEDIA AND HILLARY KEEP THE SO-CALLED "WRIGHT" STORY GOING IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO USE AGAINST OBAMA....OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE DIONSAUR BONES IN HIS CLOSET LIKE HILLARY....BECAUSE IF THE MEDIA & HILLARY COULD FIND ANYTHING ELSE NEGATIVE ON OBAMA, IT WOULD BE BROADCASTED OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER...................................................................................

Fundraising reports don't make winning candidates for those of you that seem confused.

You people are showing your blatant stupidity.

Also...for the one who said Clinton has not be vetted. lol Where have you been for the past 20 years. Oh, you must be one of those 22 year old college kids supporting Obama. Well let me tell you the truth....Clinton has been beat up on and vetted since the 80's (when you were a baby). Still, she has survived and risen up the ranks. Obama gets 3 things thrown at him and his battleship is already sinking! lmao. Grow up folks. If you can't understand politics, stay away from CNN and go watch American Idol.

Obama's negatives are going up only because some people believe Hillary's lies.

This is over. Obama is the nominee and the stuperdelegates are jumping on board before the ship sets sail.

Harold Ickes is singing DESPERADO! Polls?

So when the polls showed that Obama was in a stronger position to beat McCain a few weeks back, what did Ickes say? Well, I guess going by his own arguments, Clinton should have thrown in the towel then. Right? Because Obama has more elected delegates.

So next week when Obama is shown to be in a stronger position to beat McCain, the superdelegates should again switch over to Obama?

Why do these Clinton campaign folks think they can fool all of us all of the time?

GO, GO, GO SUPER DELEGATES. HILLARY IS FULL OF IT.........
IF YOU CHOOSE HER OVER OBAMA I WILL VOTE FOR THE INDEPENDENT PERSON. I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HER AT
THIS DATE AND TIME AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE.

JM

Clintons pastor was never accused of anything you foolish Obamanots need to get your facts straight. It was a pastor FROM THE TOWN CLINTON, NEW YORK YOU IDIOTS. AND PAUL V CLINTON HAS BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE COURTS NUMEROUS TIMES. PAUL IS A KNOWN LIAR AND LOONITIC.

The supers can still keep turning to Obama but his drama keeps unfolding and come Nov we will present to you President John McCain. Obama will not win as President because he have too much baggage and there are things that the American people have not been clued in on him.
Obama supporters be careful of what you ask for!!
We need a President that will support the Americans and fight to the end not sell us to the highest bidder..

Hillary for President!!

It is time to unite the clans behind the nominee, Obama. I voted for him today in NC because there is no way for Hillary to over come the deficit except by tearing him down. I care to much for our party to have that done.
Unite the clans for an Obama-Clinton ticket. Vote with your head.
Obama-Clinton 08

If the SD's don't listen to this, then it's their own fault that we will lose in November. They simply have to stop catering to the left wing liberals, including Obama and his supporters, and look at what's best for the ENTIRE democratic party. We can't afford to give the election away because the left wing liberals think it's their time to run the country. The extreme wings of either party, left or right, will never be able to accomplish anything in office because this country leans toward a moderate way of thinking and doing things.

If the DNC continues to cater to only a small minority of the democratic party, it will turn out to be a complete disaster. It isn't Hillary, personally, that people are necessarily wanting in office. It's a person who approaches things from a moderate perspective and Obama is anything but moderate.

CNN would you post the backing of 4 New York superdelegates Clinton received today? Be fair to both candidates...you are supposed to practice unbias journalism.

PS
THE PAUL V CLINTON case is a CIVIL CASE against Bill Clinton you idiots....Senator Clinton was DISMISSED FROM THE CASE OVER A YEAR AGO.

It is NOT about campaign Fraud....it is about a man who held a big fundraiser thinking Bill Clinton's endorsements would make him tons of money....but Clinton Never said he would endorse the business.

The business failed, so the owner is suing Bill Clinton saying HE is the cause of the failure.

Why Hold YOURSELF accountable to your own business when you can blame it on Bill Clinton??? Unfortunately, most of these "frivilous" cases are settled because it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to go through attorneys and trial. Civil cases are ALWAYS about money.

Obama is not attacking Hillary the way Hillary is attacking Obama, because he doesn't want to attack his own party. McCain is also attacking Obama, and ignoring Hillary, cause everyone knows Obama will be the nominee. That's the only reason why she's rising... her opponents are ignoring her.

She has tons and tons of weaknesses. If the dems really wanted her, Obama wouldn't have risen up out of obscurity in the first place. Her campaign's desperation to swindle the nomination is really really annoying.. and quite unbecoming for a Presidential candidate.

I think in the end, Obama is going to be the stronger candidate becuase he is holding his poll numbers fighting his rival Democrats in the front yard and Republics propagana and ADs in the back yard an then the media all around -( he's still standing) ...now that's a Fighter. Thats who we need in the White House.

Hillary is a master at attack but is severly lacking credibilty in the defesive area. Obama didn't expoilt her or her ex-pastor for what he did. Republicans are going to have a field day with that. Hillary hasn't been through the ringer yet. She's just a big bully right now and eventually she's going to get it from someone bigger, badder, meaner and dirter than she is.

When the clock strikes zero(June3) the candidate with the most delegates win.

There's no, "put more time on the clock or i hit more big shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hillary is really starting to get on a lot of peoples nerves.

Democrats 08

Ain't no way Obama will beat McSame. He has no substance.

These Obama supporters sound pretty darn hateful to be accusing Clinton of running a hateful campaign.
All I've seen from the Obama campaign is a very sophisticated game of bait and switch, they try to distance Hillary from successes of the Clinton administration, but saddle her with the blame for the shortcomings of "his" presidency. The biggest deception of all is the whole "Change" platform, which tries to somehow suggest that the Bush and Clinton administrations are one and the same. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Love the pictures...Obama is controlled and poised and Hillary looks scared and nervous

Absolutely Perfect

Harold Ickes couldn't even win his last race for Senator from North Carolina. These times they are a changin!

If Obama gets the nomination it will be a repeat of Jimmy Carters 2nd term nomination which went on to be defeated by Reagan because the Kennedy backers ended up not voting or voting for Reagan .Thats how the Reagan demorcrats got started.

Please help me understand why people think Hillary should drop out of the race. This is what it is all about. We know very little about Obama. What we do know is that he has very little experience and makes bad judgments when it comes to his closest friends. We also know that he has brought us back to the 60s as far as racial issues are concerned. Thanks BHO; as if we don't have enough things to worry about post Bush.

The Clintons have been looked at so many times for everything under the sun yet nothing. Obomites have the "yes butts" in a bad way.

Keep on rocking Hillary! The longer it goes on the longer we see the real Barak Hussein Obama!

Clinton 08!

I question the intelligence of the Hillary supporters who think she has a chance without destroying the democratic party. I support Obama, but if he was in her shoes right now and was doing what Hillary is doing, I wouldnt like him anymore.

obama is a liar. Always has been and always will be. Poor,stupid kool-aid drinkers......you just can't get beyond following the lies.

When will CNN post Michael Bloomberg's comments about how eliminating the gas tax for the summer is a stupid idea? Don't want to show up Hillary and give credibility to Obama? Lets talk issues like that and not some polls!

wake up superdelegates and support Hillary Clinton. Obama is a train wreck.

More accurately stated, the current completely hypothetical poll about a fictional situation shows numbers that look better for her. A month ago such hypothetical polls showed better numbers for him. Who knows what they will show two weeks from now.

Until the candidates are chosen and the voters know the reasons they were chosen, there is even less value in such polls than there are in polls conducted immediately before Election Day – and we all have seen how accurate those are. : )

CNN you forgot to add this to your Political Ticker Another SuperDelegate Endorses Obama Today.

I hope you post this like a good News network should.

Texas superdelegate John Patrick endorsed Barack Obama today, citing his record of standing up for working families and opposing trade deals that fail to protect American workers. Patrick explained:

Senator Barack Obama has spent a lifetime standing up for American workers, and he will be a crucial voice for us in the White House. Senator Obama chose a career as an organizer on the streets of Chicago, fighting for working families who lost their jobs, specifically those families in neighborhoods devastated by steel plant closings. He has consistently opposed unfair trade deals that fail to offer protection to American workers – like NAFTA. Senator Obama has a real plan to put money back in the pockets of working families by restoring the manufacturing base in America.

Of course Hillary will beat McCain. Obama will not!

In all honesty,I think a lot of the votes she had before PA will not be cast in the general even if she could get in.Too many have come to hate her and her dishonesty.She has to stop-she is destroying the dems chance to win.

@ All these Clinton supporters who are saying that this polling PROVES Clinton is the better nominee and the Superdelegates should vote for her.

Have you been on here for the past two months when every single poll showed Obama as more electable, calling for the Superdelegates to vote for him?

Or were you with every other Clinton drone who thought they meant nothing.

How can you think this polling means everything when it meant nothing to you when your candidate was down in the polling for a LONG time?

It is hypocritical... Big time.

Obama is in the middle of a new Wright episode that is hopefully over, his numbers will start climbing again.

The Clintons have
moved the goalposts ("wait until after Super Tuesday")
changed the definition of a win (popular vote count, not delegates)
and
now they want to change the names of the players (automatic, not super).

Game over. The Clintons had their two seasons.

Don't they realize...America is in bap shape.....We need to shake
it up and that means not electing any more Bush's or Clintons.
Do they think that only a Bush or Clinton should ever run this
country. This is not the United Kingdom.

The people need to decide who's the nominee not the Party or the Superdelegates. It is outrageous that the Party has been trying to manipulate the primary process through the Superdelegates and by disenfranchising the people of Michigan and Florida. The people are still in the process of voting. Let them vote. Democracy means rule of the people and the Democrats need to live by that rule.

GO Hillary !!! we all know you are the best

to all the hateful Obama supporters: I am kind of sick of reading your hateful, bashing and lying comments. get a crip. just mad that you will lose ?

Rob from Charlotte, NC

I am flabbergasted at the hate comments from the Obamabots maniacs. How is it that Obama will unite us, when his supporters are so filled with hate speeches, anger, divisiveness, and arrogance. We all want a Democratic candidate to win, but if is going to be this way...I would rather have a Republican. This is not the kind of change that we need in this country, let's all unite and make this the peaceful, prosperous, and genereous nation it once was.

Hillary 2008.

When the clock strikes zero(June3) the candidate with the most delegates win.

There's no, "put more time on the clock or i hit more big shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hillary is really starting to get on a lot of peoples nerves.

Democrats 08

Can CNN expand on this Peter paul V. Clinton Case for us? Why are the media outlets not talking about it? Why the cover-up?

I wish the super delegates just come out of their cocoons and pick someone. So I can either stay a democrat or change my affiliation!

Polls are not what matter. Voters are the important part of any election. Polls had Obama winning New Hampshire, but it didnt work out that way. Polls had Kerry winning Ohio, and we all know how that turned out. This is yet another weak and poorly thought out argument from the Clinton camp. Until recently, I LOVED Bill Clinton, but now I cant stand him nor Hillary.

Hillary is the only chance to save America. If its not her, it'll be McCain.

Obamabots...take that to the bank! Have you people really looked at whose fairing better against McCain, or are you just ignorantly and blindly backing the young, charismatic orator. Look at reality people...not "hope". The reality is if Obama is the nominee, we will lose again in November!! WAKE UP!! I expect the naiveness from the college kids, but you adults who have been voting for awhile should know better!

Besides…half the country hates her…including me…a 55 year old white woman…IN FLORIDA
Obama has been kind, a gentleman, stuck to the issues, so if the superdelegates think for one moment the young, the independents, and the black voters will show up at the polls…they are mistaken, we will sit this one out.

JOE ANDREW REASON TO SWITCH TO OBAMA.
NOTHING PERSONAL IT’S ONLY BUSINESS OBAMA PAY MORE.
WAIT TO THE END OF THE PRIMARY AND SEE WHO IS THE MORE ELECTABLE, SUPER DELEGATES WILL CHANGE THEIR MIND IN CONTRAST TO ESTABLISMENT.
HILLARY 08

The only pitch she needs is for someone to pitch her back to New York.

From the sounds of it.. neither of your alls party nominations can be trusted. Isn't it sad when the Republican candidate [the man that wants to stay in war] is by far the better candidate? Wow.

People are saying.. "vote Obama or the blacks won't show up in November." Then who cares?.. They shouldn't have the right to vote if they're only voting for someone of their race. Same goes for women with Hillary.

As a Republican.. I had my eyes on Hillary Clinton but it's becoming more and more obvious that this country is so stupid that we're going to put in a self-proclaimed messiah acting figure. A man with sooo much baggage that he won't sling dirt because he knows he'll have **** slug in his face. God this country is going to hell. It appears Wright was right.. God **** America.

A very astute point made about the NC race. The GOP is running ads against Obama but not Clinton. Hmmm, aside from eroding his lead, it is also very telling whom the GOP really fear as the nominee. That person is the most electable.

This desperate pitch proves Clinton doesn't have many supers in her backpocket!!

Obama cant win the general election. We have been thru all this before.

Nobody in the history of US primaries has ever lost every major primary and then go on to win the white house. It has never happened ever.

It doesnt happen for a reason. If they dont want you in the primaries, they wont want you in the general election even less.

No Hillary Never say Never.
I don't rust this Obama. before he stood, Dem should have done thorough checking of his CV, accounting for every quarter of his life.
Now, if Dems elect him, You go as an independent and win the elections, and Make History..First independent and Woman President of America. You can do it........

If you decide not to stand, I will vote for McCain but not O.b.a.m.a....enough of chilubas and mugabes. and omar shariffs of this world!!!!

ah Excuse me senior Clinton adviser Harold Ickes (Yikes) that is what the billarys want us to believe, simply because CNN and Fox and the circus media want that..........I have never been polled nor have any of the thousands of friends i have in about 44 states............ we are all democrats, and to be fair even people who supported billary early have come to see the real woman behind clinton who is divisive, and would be a best running mate to Mccain...........her ways and principles are more aligned with bush, and mccain and limbaugh.
I just read someone come up woith the best name fo her: cruella devil... with all due respect, she has gone beyond the patience of our people......... it is down discusting.
she voted for the war and has continue
but you all for]got that
she lies and lies and still lies..
she spreads fear, hate and lies
she is so low I rather vote republican simply because mccain at least says what he believes...............

so there............

Obama has more delegates and more support, and CNN and the Fox polls which are so clinton runned, will not turn this election this time because we the people regular americans like myself, have adn will vote to get our nominee........... against all odds.

Go Obama 08.

"Besides…half the country hates her…including me…a 55 year old white woman…IN FLORIDA
Obama has been kind, a gentleman, stuck to the issues, so if the superdelegates think for one moment the young, the independents, and the black voters will show up at the polls…they are mistaken, we will sit this one out."

Same here, and the number of people in California planning to do just that is growing. They young were not registering to vote because of the Democratic Party, they are only fooling themselves into thinking that. If Obama is not the nominee...they are in for a VERY RUDE awakening

Yes, the superdelegates are seeing polls and also making the right decision by coming over to Obama in droves.

Another 3:am will soon ring to inform Mrs Clinton of another superdelegate for Obama

Hillary is the strongest candidate because she continues to beat down on her fellow democrat further dividing the democratic party.

Andrew is another judas like richardson.It's ok because obama will loose in November any way.

When enough is enough?
Obama 08

They are scared. These folks are truly and deeply terrified of our man Obama!

Obama is the one who needs to get out of the race. No way he is electable. I am a life long democrat and I would rather vote for McCain then him. If they hand him the nomination, it will only be because he didn't want the votes to count in Florida and Michigan! I know many, many Clinton supporters who won't vote for Obama. I will do everything in my power to turn as many democrats into either McCain supporters of convince them to stay home in protest. Hillary Clinton is the only democrat that can beat McCain. She is the best qualified to do the job, and she received the most votes.

I agree, Sen Clinton is by far a better leade than Obama, this is coming from an afro-American, why can these super-delagetes see that, are we going to make the mistakes choosing Obama, over Clinton, and give the republicans another 4 years in the White House

American has to keep quite over the so called spreading Democracy Freedom and Equality because, they are so racialy divided. Clinton has destroyed Obama the only Will be the first African American President. upon having a white mother which played no role to balance his color.
If the Democrats and superdelegates will Fails this young man who has brought such a huge impact on not only the American politics in Fund raising, Organization and inspiration infact he is already seen as the new face of America World Wide.
it will be a Big a blow not only to the Americans but also to Human race if Hillary Clinton will steal this nomination with her Desperate mind and Negativity.

Obviously McCain is the only reliable candidate to vote for. Obama is not even electable except by the African American communities and that is based on race alone. You cannot believe a word he says. Pitching ignorance now that his MINISTER has spoken, he now denounces him – just a politician saying what he needs to say.
Too bad the states who already voted didn't see the real Obama. He cannot even handle his minister much less foreign leaders. Obama needs to just face reality and drop out of the campaign before some more truths surface about his spiritual uncle. Not to mention, his wife, she does not portray a very professional first lady. GO MCCAIN... you're the one to win it now. A second alternative, CLINTON, for sure.

Hillary has lost far more states than Obama, not to mention the 11-0 streak back in February. How does the Clinton campaign to do their math?

do a search on Peter Paul. Amazing!

OBAMA GO GO GO
billary, hillary, HIStory or HERstory,
usually repeats.

U gotta love OBAMA
I do and I am First Nations In Cree Country, Canada

In Spirit
Horse

These polls don't mean anything at this time. Once Obama has the nomination and can run against McCain he will do just fine. Right now he's running against Clinton, her husband, their democratic machine and the corporate media who is doing everything to destroy Obama and iignore her negatives..Given all of that the super-delegates are still flocking to him and he has the nomination all sewn up. Time to start throwing the mainstream edia under the bus....you don't get to decide our elections.....

I think the DNC and Pelosi are pushing for Obama...thinking it is better to lose an election than lose the AA vote. Truth REALLY is, it is much easier for a man to be elected than a woman.

Kind of funny in a way, when Obama says OVER AND OVER, Hillary is not to be trusted, Clinton is a racist, Cinton is untruthful, Clinton is divisive,
that is good campaigning? That is the high minded HOPE and Change HE IS TALKING ABOUT?

Yet if Clinton DARE question's Obama's stance on ANY issues, she is running a negative campaign! OR divisive, or a racist, or the cause of every issue Obama has had....Already Obama has done more to divide the Democratic Party than anyone in History. If he wins the nomination, I hope he feels proud of HOW he did it. But he certainly cannot expect my vote.

Clinton did NOT attack Obama's character, but she did question him on issues....I think Clinton should run an ad with EVERY Single soundbite of Obama changing his story....but I suppose a 10 minute commercial would cost a heck of a lot of money.....

Would you consider voting for David Duke for president?

What if he ran and even though he sat in klan meetings and listened to their
rhetoric for years but he now strongly denounces it and because the media
makes a bigger issue of it he has left the klan altogether.

What if he has a slumlord friend by the name of Leona Helmsley that
contributes to him, however he does not denounce her and admits making shady
business deals including his own house.

What if he has a terrorist friend that bombed a federal building and killed
children in the blast by the name of Timothy McVeigh. He doesn't denounce
him either and even co-chairs an organization with him. Even attends a
party held by Timothy in his honor to launch his campaign. David says that
Timothy blew up the Oklahoma building long before he knew him and should not
mean anything.

What if David was endorsed by the neo-Nazi party and their affiliates
worldwide. He denounces them even though his ex-grand dragon klan leader
published articles from the nazi parties while he attended and paid money
supporting his klan group.

However despite all this what if David Duke promotes change and says he
wants to get past the above petty distractions and unite this country under
a common cause. Whatever that cause may be.

Now do you vote for David or would you think that if David ran with those
people in his circle of friends that it would be utterly ridiculous to vote
for such a person.

So if you wouldn't vote for David than why are you voting for Obama and his
friends Wright, Ayers, Rezko and Hamas?

No difference other than color.

The democratic party better hope that 50% of the voters have a really short memory and forget all the ways that hate and corruption disrupted this politician and her campaign.

If many of her supporters remember half of the insults and bias and hate and corruption that worked to disadvantage Clinton and to advantage Obama... it may not be the certain win they are expecting.

These superdelegates must think that the American people are stupid to believe that for 20yrs this idiot (Obama) sat in Wright's church and heard nothing......they are the stupid ones. If the superdelegates that are endorsing Obama think that the Clinton supporters will flock to Obama (if he gets the nomination) they are stupid. I as a woman and Hispanic will cast my vote for McCain and so will alot of other women and Hispanics. Remember McCain is not your typical Republican, he is well liked among all party lines. These superdelegates say that every vote counts, then they need to let the process go forward and let the remaining states have their say and keep their mouths shut.

Mr O the great UNITER ? After listening to divisive speeches for 20 years? No way. His charm and charisma have worn off. He has been revealed as a politician after all. Let's elect a fighter and get a democrat in the White House.

Go Hillary!

Seven reasons Hillary will not win the nomination
1) Math
2) Peter Paul
3) Snipergate
4) Iraq
5) Columbia
6) Whitewater
7) Monica

Despite his flaws (most of them revealed once he was elected) Bill Clinton was a good president. Hillary would not be a bad president, but Obama will be a revolutionary President.

Should we put this in the Begging or Crying column for Clinton?
Either way, I'd have to scroll down to update the list.

We knew that sooner or later Obama was going to peak. Hillary peaked in 2000 after her husban left office and there is nothing new you can dig up on her. In the past 3 weeks the dirt on Obama has been so messy that folks are thinking if they had known this before they would have not voted for him. With Hillary I know what I'm getting – a balanced budget, a trade surplus, a universal health-care plan and a husband who likes hot sexy interns. I'd take that over racism, bigorty, push-me-under-the-bus, and unpatriotic doctrines any day.

PS. Obama knew exactly what his pastor was preaching for 20 yrs. he did go to church for crying out lout

she also has a 68% negative rating.

Yes She Will or NoTTT........

Me

Hill

Hillarme

pick me .....pick me.....

America please help Hillarme or she will go into severe depression after this ..Bill is in panic, Chelsea wonders what will happen to her Hedge Fund job...

Help the Clintons...they deserve the white house , it is theirs , their birthright!!

Fine, this week's polls suggest she is 4.8% tougher... it does not matter – superdelegates would only overrun the majorities of votes, states etc, is if the winner was fatally flawed. And not if the runner-up is marginally better. This is not a case with Obama – one cannot say he stands no chance in November. He might be not as good as Clinton, but for Clinton to get nominated the whole establishment would have to go down in flames the way the situation is right now.

We all know she's the smartest and most motivated. We all know she is the best capable.

However, because you don't like her you want to deny what she has to offer our country. WAKE UP and do the right thing America.

Perhaps they should have included the following comment from camapign strategist Wolfson on being questioned about no expert favoring Clinton's"tax holiday" on gas:

"There are times that a president will take a position that a broad support of quote-unquote experts agree with. And there are times when they will take a position that quote-unquote experts will not agree with." Sounds exacttly like the BUSH/Cheney philosophy to me.

If one of Obama's strategists had said this it would be all over CNN!!

I believe this gas issue is going to be a major thing with her pandering..

Let me get this straight – in NC Obama is running against Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, AND the republican party. They must be school yard bullies that are scared. ALL OF THEM

There are way too many things about the Clinton's that I am sure the superdelegates know about that have held them back. Personally, I think this whole campaign has been kept going so that Obama can become practice firing back at all the snipper fire he will get from the RNC.

I have gathered some numbers based on the democratic primary to show what will happen in November if Obama is the nominee.
The democratic primary is different as it shares delegates based on percentage but in the general election it is winner takes all in each state. Each state won is that many delegates to winning the overall count. So if we treat the democratic primary just like the general election this is what we are looking at against McCain.

I have taken each state that has won by Obama or Clinton and given all the delegates of that state to the majority winner. I even gave Obama all the upcoming states and made him the winner giving him the delegates from them. I did not include Florida or Michigan to avoid any argument. This includes Guam and others that are counted in the democratic primary. This is only actually won states and future states given to Obama:

Obama won 37 "states"
Hillary won 17 "states"

However in a general election setting:

Obama delegate count: 1486
Hillary delegate count: 1750

If you count Florida and Michigan which Hillary won and polls show that even if Obama campaigned in those states Hillary would have won them at that time:

Obama delegate count: 1486
Hillary delegate count: 2118

If we gave Florida to Obama and Michigan to Hillary as polls suggest a primary today would give them:

Obama delegate count: 1692
Hillary delegate count: 1907

The bottom line is that Hillary has won in a general election model based on primaries of the democratic party and even giving Obama all the next primary states coming up. The reason Hillary won is she won all the big states practically? These states are historically won by the Republican party as to why Bush beat Kerry in 2004. Therefore if Obama cannot win the big states that Republicans tend to win he has no chance against McCain in the general election. Hillary has the only chance of being a democratic president in 2008.

So do you want a Republican in office or do you want a Democrat? The choice is clear who is more electable in November.

don't base your opinion on polls!they change daily.obama's supporters are not budging,and his lead is continuing to grow ,everyday.negative campaigns will not decide who our politicians are,anymore.go home hillary!

I remember that FORMER REPUBLICAN!!! Why isn't the media jumping on all that???

OBAMA 2008!!!!

Well that is what happens when the republicans ignore hillary – of course her hypothetical matchup improves.

Consider that both the mccain AND clinton campaigns (not to mention fox news) have been constantly firing attacks at obama for weeks now, how could clinton not be favorable in hypothetical polls? Obama is the common enemy for both of these campaings because he is clearly the strongest of the three.

Once hillary is gone, he can focus his undivided attention on mccain and show the people of this country once and for all how much of the same the republicans are offering.

Then, you will see how the polls shift.

If we are to base our decisions on polls, then there wouldn't have been any reason to go into primaries and caucauses. 6 months before the primaries, clinton was ahead of everybody by upto 20 points. Now they don't have anything on their side – Pledge degates, Popuplar votes, states won, money raised, temparament to handle issues. The only thing they can hang onto is some polls that are not even consistent.

Mr. Ickles should know better, nomination is not based on polls but on delegates, so go home and sleep because the game is up.

If any of you watched the interview on Fox with Hillary she was quite impressive.

She knows what is going on. She knows how to get things done. If people would set aside their own biases and really listen and watch it is quite clear she is the best Candidate out of the three.

She had a front seat in the White House when her husband took the Country of of Debt, built reserves, mended relationships with other Countries, stabilized our medical, food, and fuel costs.

We are where we were at in 1992 after the First Bush, but worse...
We need her to go in and clean house....

This is serious, not a game for those that want remain "deaf & blind". Remember Bush got the Presidency because so many people remained "deaf and blind" to all the red flags.

Hilary wants to run against McCain because she can't beat Obama.

You have to give the Obama campaign credit for their ability to run a totally negetive campaign that does nothing but attack Clinton over and over and over again.

The "negetive" things Clinton has been accused of saying have simply been that given time the image of Obama as Mr Squeeky Clean would go away and some day Democrats would realize that he was just a typical first term senator from Illinios.

That's the worst thing she has ever said about him and the Obama campaign has been nothing but a vile Rovian bring up all of the garbage from 20 years ago attack machine.

From day one the message of "hope" was neve hope, but one of Change by insulting our past. Attack and minimize the accomplishments of other Democrats but particularly Clinton

I've just read about this Peter Paul suit thanks to your blog and am shocked this isn't on the news. Where is Hannady or Bill O'Reilly on this one?

~~

No more Clinton lies...

Clinton CAN NOT win and the math does not add up any way you stack it

Super Delegates would tear the party to pieces if they gave the nomination to Clinton... and they know it

The bottom line is like it or not Obama is the choice of the people and the pledged delegates and it is time for everyone to get behind him and move forward

You dems are so scared of McCain that you are ready to lump him in with Bush . By the way, if what bush did after 9\11 was so bad why was he elected by a landslide in 2004. All you do is complain. I do not hear anyone giving ideas on what should have been done.

the clinton campaign is made up of idiots. Do they know that the GOPS are going to have field day with the lies of Hillary and in addition they will bash Bill's lies too.

1.) bosnia snipe fire
2.) bringing northern ireland peace
3.)hospital story
4.)where her donations to this campaign is coming from
5.)NAFTA
6.)calling other people elitist when she has 109 million dollars.
7.) depends on what your definition of "is" is

CNN please please please put this comment in. thanks

This is why this country needs a President with a stable mind. Sen. Clinton talking about a nuclear war with Iran. If she starts a war, she won't have to worry about the 3 a.m. phone call because we all will be obliterate by Iran.

Sen. Obama may have problems with Rev. Wright and the bitter statement, but that is nothing when it comes to starting a nuclear war. So, I ask the Clintons' supporters, do you really want someone in the Whitehouse that can cost all of us our lives? Where will your kids be during a nuclear war? They can strick over here just as we can over there in their country.

Think about it!

I can't even comment...it has all been said.

Obama is the best person for the job!

I AM A CLINTON SUPPORTER AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THAT SCUM BAG (OBAMA). I JUST WENT TO MCCAIN'S WEBSITE TO LOOK AT HIS VIEWS. IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IGNORE MICH, AND FL, I WILL LEAVE THE PARTY FOR GOOD. THE OBAMA DEMOCRATS ARE HELL ON WHEELS AND I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF IT. THE DEMS CHEATED HILLARY OUT OF THE NOMINATION AND THEY WILL PAY FOR IT IN NOVEMBER. MARK MY WORK OBAMA AND THE LEFT WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL PAY IN NOVEMBER.

Peter Paul v. Clinton

The media wants Clinton as the nominee because a presidential nominee who is going to be testifying in a fraud case makes a great story to sell and raitings boost...

CNN isnt reporting on it for 2 reasons...

CNN= Clinton News Network

and because CNN reporters are always looking for their own "White Bronco Chase" story...

OJ part 2

Its a conspiracy by the media to not inform the public, and im sure my comments will be deleted because they dont want my words to taint thier deceptive practices

if the peter paul case came out.. clinton electability would be over.

please CNN YOU ARE MY FAVORITE NETWORK.. but please start the rippple that will start the big wave of coverage about this case... be the first media network to have some ++++ agains the clintons!

Come on CNN you can do IT!
YES YOU CAN!

****************************************************************************

The very best candidate for the presidency in decades has been efficiently and systematically and effectively swiftboated by her own party. The extremely biased and sensationalist media also did their best to derail this woman's run.

What a shame that the greates country in the world can no longer hold fair and unbiased and elections.

I Googled Peter Paul/Hillary Clinton and found an amazing story on http://www.peterfpaul.com. Talk about judicial favoritism – what a rip off. She has been given a break until after November – phew!!, if she gets elected it will be a case of another President being impeached. Oh, and by the way, give my regards to my old friend Bill, said the judge.
Harold Yuckies must be smoking some good old BC Bud to come up with the nonsense he has pushed out. There's a smell of desperation in the air.

Peter Paul has been out there for months but the press will not touch it. They feel it is old news but the reality is that HRC will have to testify after the general election and likely carry this mess into the White House if she is the nominee. Sounds like the end of Bill's administration don't it. Is that what we need right now? Fortunately, the superdelegates know this situation all too well and are reacting correctly.

A vote for Obama is a vote for Wright........enter the McCain
and the Republicans

When EVERY poll favored Obama, the Clinton campaign said they didn't mean anything, polls aren't trustworthy. Now that there are a few polls putting Clinton slightly ahead in hypothetical telephone poll match-ups the Clinton campaign is putting a LOT of stock in these polls, that as little as 2 weeks ago meant nothing to them.

The only poll results I can about are the results of the contests where American people went to the polls to vote for their choice of candidate. They have CLEARLY chosen Barack Obama. As long as Obama remains in the lead in pledged Delegates he should be the nominee.

You can argue that Clinton is more electable, I disagree strongly, she is dead even with him right now in polling and he is in the middle of a new Rev. Wright scandal, if she were more electable, she should be WAAAY ahead right now, instead of slightly behind.

If Obama is less electable then so be it, he won fair and square... If the primaries don't mean anything then they should just hold one hypothetical opinion poll and nominate based on that... Instead of wasting MILLIONS running primaries that the Clintons want to disregard anyway.

I for one am a Democrat who doesn't look to kindly on the vote being overturned to give the win to the loser.

Who is more electable?

Obama or Clinton

Obama may have some baggage, but if Clinton is GIVEN the nomination as the loser the Democrats will NOT come together, she will lose 100% of the black vote and almost all the new voters, not to mention every single other person who's vote was cast aside to give Clinton the nomination.

If Hillary wins, the Democrats lose.

Obama is still trickling in superdelegates from across the country.

OK. Just how would it look if the superdelegates decided not to pick the only Black candidate to ever run for President, if he actually had the most deligates?

The "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2007 (from JudicialWatch.org)
The list mentions Hillary Clinton (D-NY), John Conyers (D-MI), Larry Craig (R-ID), Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Rudy Giuliani (R-NY), Mike Huckabee (R-AR), I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, (D-IL) Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Harry Reid (D-NV).

And we keep electing them anyway.

wow that is desperation...knowing that if the polls change again, which they will as they go up and down, this last argument is toast.

Didn't the Clinton say that superdelegates are supposed to vote their conscience? Now they are automatically supposed to go the way of the current polls? Which way is it?

I am really trying to give the Clintons the benefit of the doubt here, but I just cannot go along with this one. Senseless.

They are right. Come on guys- Hillary has been under scrutiny for how many years and she is still popular. Obama has been under scrunity for 5 minutes and we're finding aweful things out about him. The Republicans must be jumping for joy. Do you guys honestly believe that we will elect a President who sat in a church with a man who said 9-11 was the US's fault? As it those people brought it on themselves? The right thought Hillary was a nightmare, they probably think she's the second coming now compared to this guy. He'll never win.

I guess the Clinton camp is getting nervous. Obama is getting more super delegates each day and some of her supporters are leaving her for Obama, such as Chairman Andrew! My question to her advisor is, if she is so electable and can beat McCain why hasn’t she won the Democratic Primary yet? Why is she still behind? Why is her campaign in debt? Why has she lost more states? Why is she losing the popular vote? If she can’t even win her own primary how in the world can she win the general election? It’s time for Hillary to bow down gracefully, her dirty tactics and lies have left her fighting a battle she has already lost.

NO MORE DYNASTIES!!!! Clintons --GO HOME!

Do any of you have jobs...other than working for Obama as hired morons, that is?

The pastor who was convicted of inappropriately touching a young girl who was sleeping over at his house IS NOT Hillarys pastor. This man was the pastor of the Baptist Church in Washington during the Clinton years in the White House. He was not selected as their spiritual advisor, nor was he their friend. Jessie Jackson was their spiritual years when they were in the White House. The world travelling Clintons were rarely in Washington during the White House years.

EVERYBODY LOOK UP THE PETER PAUL VIDEO

Poll smoll, the congressinal delegates have already made up their mind, They went to Obama 3-2. drip drip with the rest of the delegates. I here James brown sing "I Feel Good" Obama'08

How can anyone possibly argue that she's the best to go against the Republicans when they've made a sport of Clinton bashing over the past 16 years? She stands to have a much longer lasting impact and greater legacy in the Senate as a long term party leader- pending the outcome of the Paul thing, I guess.

Oh yeah...he's a Clinton suporter. I surely believe what he says. They have been screaming to let the porcess run itrself out...let the people vote they cry. That is unless they think she has the upper hand then it's different. I am so sick of this I could scream.

The first female candidate deserved the same respect and support from her own party and democratic leaders, as has been continually shown to the first African American candidate.

I guess all those Washington Insiders and all the new age Politicians still subscribe to the Good Old Boys attitude towards leadership and the presidency.

Obama is a JOKE...does not have the strength and courage to be the President of the United states. How can a weakling that is to afraid to have a Real debate with Hillary think he is going to deal with real pressure in the White House.

Go McCain!!!!!!!!!!

i would vote for her, but they are gonna give the monination to obama,
who was not vetted by the bias media, so thier darling will get the dem. nod., but come nov. when the dem. base speaks loud and clear, the war hero will win very big.
ps:: why do people wish to be sober???????JOHN WAYNE

Okay CNN, why the cover-up on the Peter Paul debacle? I have been hearing this name for the last several months but don't know much about the issues other than what the posters are saying. Can you all inform the public on just what this entails? Thanks

I am glad to see that people are finally starting to talk about this election fraud case in California I have been posting about it for weeks no news media will cover the story for what reason no one will say and they just keep getting away with these lies. Under election laws she is not even eligible to be in the race because of this law suit! no one is talking about that. Does none of Clinton supporters care about the laws of this county or the rules that everyone agreed to if you have lost then you lost but to be a loser of her degree come on now! lies lies lies!!!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

The poll of polls don't lie. Hillary is the best candidate for November despite delegate counts, etc. It's up for the selfish Obama supporters to see this and realize he will make a viable candidate in 2016.

HILLARY, showed a strong forth quater but time ran out. Obama still has the lead and therefore the winner.

Absolutely she is the ONLY candidate that can beat McCain in November. The republicans know that too and that is why they are so anxious to make it Obama that is the one they are battling with for November. Using psychology to guide us towards Obama who they can beat easily in November. He is a gift to them! McCain will stroll right into the Whitehouse, awful shame as this was our best chance to get it back.

James B

I sure hope you do not have a daughter who might need an abortion

I vote DEM DEM or DEM no matter shape size name or color

We need to have a people's supreme court – and there are no four years to wait

Where are these new polls that show Hillary's, "greater strength among independent voters and seniors – and among young voters?" I know Hillary has the old women who want to see a female president before they die sewn up, but what polls state she is stronger than Obama with independents and young voters?"

Also, what point is Hillary's camp is trying to make regarding "Obama's rising unfavorable ratings?" Do they forget her unfavorable ratings are higher than his? I am confused. All of these ratings have been fluctuating for weeks, so to make an argument based on polls of the days where your candidate is ahead seems a bit desparate to me. Especially, when you are behind in all other relevant categories (according to the rules of the Democratic Primaries).

I would like to see a timeline of all her statements about the relevant selection criteria from the beginning of the race (it's a delegate race, polls don't matter) through the end of the race when it is all said and done. The contradictions will be endless...

Hillary Clinton is ahead in the polls because America is seeing through the "spin" speeches and taking a harder look at Obama's lack of experience, strength and decisiveness.

Obama's stereotyping of Pennsylvanians as people who turn to bigotry when times are tough,, his too-long support of Reverend Wright, and his refusal to debate in every primary tells America he is not ready to be President!

The "fresh face" is now too fresh for the American voters!

Obama is being hit by Hillary , John Mccain, and the MEDIA
and he's still doing pretty darn good. Obama is the strongest. And if the republican really wanted to face him and not Hillary don't you think they'd use there money on attacking her and not him.

Peter Paul case will be thrown out like all his others, they are all lies..GET OVER IT!

My question is why can't Hillary close the deal? She's not being attacked by the Republicans, she's not being scrutinized by the MSM, and Obama's been handling her with kid gloves. So if this is the case why isn't her favorable rating going up and why is she still not blowing Obama out of the water in the polls. She's only up a ~2-4 % points in the national polls.

All I want to know is what happened to the money Bill Clinton and George Bush raised to help the Katrinia victims ???? People forgot about that relationship!!

Hillary Clinton: Liar, Liar, pant-suit on fire.

Integrity is more important than experience.

We have had one President who has launched the country into a war based on a lie. Now we have a candidate who has admitted to saying something different than what "she knew to be the truth." Sleep deprivation??? Maybe, but then I don't want her answering the phone at 3 am!

I have been a huge Hillary supporter. I am no longer. We can't afford another liar in the White House. The one we have has already cost over 4,000 lives.

Why isn't Barak addressing this very aggressively?

Senator Obama on the Today Show 5/1/08:

"After those San Francisco remarks, he was hit with the elitist tag.

Obama knows why he’s attracted the attacks. “Here I am. An African-American named Barack Obama who's running for president,” he said with a chuckle. “I mean, that's a leap for folks.”"

Hillary Clinton said in the Pennsylvania debate that Obama would beat McCain. You don't think she was......bending the truth to drum up support?

Why aren't the CNN news analysts bringing up the fraud case that the Clintons are involved in – you speak to everything else that is going on with the Presidential candidates – why not this?

Anyone voted for Obama is voting for a Marxist and a racial divider. He is so dishonest it makes most rational thinking people ill. His bitg stunt of outrage against his pastor was just more political pandering. He and his wife believe the theories of the Black Liberation Church and its racism against th

HILLARY, STOP BEGGING !!! IT'S OVER FOR YOU.

The Clintons were not Members of the Church you crazy Obama freaks are talking about, they were not there for 20 years, got married there, or had their child baptized there. Get over it. Nice try!

Harold Ickes reminds me of the boy who killed his parents and then asked the court for mercy because he was an orphan. Hillary Clinton and her gang have relentlessly and ruthlessly attacked Obama as a snob who's friends with terrorists and crackpots, then say he's not electable because his poll numbers are down.

What I don't understand is how HRC is going to get her supporters to back Obama once she gets out. She's spent so much time badmouthing Obama, she'll have no credibility to say he's fit for president.

But maybe that's her plan–make sure McCain wins, then try again in four years as "the saviour" of the party.

As an HRC candidate I agree with that dude on Verdict on MSNBC

Can there be any news about the vetted Clintons

So I am indeed intereted in this Paul thing and look forward to more news

HRC is dirty - dirty and more dirty - but I figured it was all old dirt

Where for BO its all NEWS NEWSY – Ayers – RW – REZKO (still on trial) – Tit for Tat in State Senate with Pin Ball Wizard Donator etc

If HRC has new dirt in her closet – I want Gore or whatever

Oh by the way just in case you didn't know... I support OBAMA and if Hillary gets the nomination... come November I WILL VOTE for HILLARY.

Not McCain... because I want to be an AH about the situation.

DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM 4EVER!

Do he also tell them ,this is because Hillary has not been vetted much this primary about obvious weaknesses.Why they will not give it up puzzles me.

Shirley, I believe you are sadly mistaken, I have voted dem for 20+ yrs and I will proudly vote Mccain over Obama, And more than 1/3 of Hillary supporters will or stay home. You dont get it. This is about our country that WE care about! Obama does NOT!

If this nomination is lost to Hillary Clinton it will be due to the corruption that tainted this primary and all the unfair obstacles her own party placed in her way.

On a fair and level playing field, she would have swept the nomination away long ago.

According to DNC... they will support the one that the people have chosen.. its been proven that if Hillary wins the rest of the primaries.. Obama will still have more votes, more delegates... he will be the winner regardless.

This is the Hillary compaign SCARED!! of Andrews an ex bill clinton cabinet member and ex hillary supporter contacting the Superdelegates to go for Obama. They are scared and they should be.. Its been over and needs to be over before Hillary divides the party.

Dean said they will know when to drop out.. I dont think Hillary knows.. I dont think she will give it up even if she loses. She will be a disaster and a time bomb that will blow up any chance of anyone beating McCain including herself if she was elected.

Right now a dog would beat Mc Cain in a election.. if she keeps it up.. Mc Cain will win regardless... I think she knows this and I think she is playing it as if she cant win... NOBODY can win game. She is destroying the party and Obama just to make it that way. She has no care at all about anyone but herself.

Perhaps Obama will change things like Jimmy Carter did.

I agree with many of your posts. The reason why Hillary is fairing better agains McCain right now is because she's not being vetted whatsoever about anything. All of the attacks are being thrown at Obama. She has a lot of stuff in the closet that will be found out and revealed if she becomes the nominee. Her supporters, especially the young ones, will be in for a shock when they hear about all of her scandals, past and present. She truly has not been vetted because many of her supporters weren't old enough to remember all of the scandals. Her recent scandals have also not been vetted. She still has Mark Penn on her team who was lobbying for the Colombian Free Trade Agreement. She claimed that he was no longer on her team, but she lied because he's still working for her. Her own husband was lobbying as well for the trade agreement and received $800,000 in their account for it. She has to testify in November in the biggest political fraud case in history that is being brought against her for using $1.3 million dollars of illegal funding for her campaign when she ran for the Senate. That is why she's doing well in the polls, none of her gaffes or lies are being discussed in the MSM. The Republicans have not attacked her either.

Rev. Wright is right, Obama will say anything to win. He is a sleazy polition. Rezko, Exlon a big fat liar who will lose in November....

Wake-up Cnn and report the news. All of you are bought out n
the Obama corner. Hillary can`t get a nice word or fair reporting
without putting her down. She is the stronger of the two canidates. Let
the voters vote. If she has the most popular and him the delegate. It
is all up for grabs...................

DUH, it's only May folks... When Hillary's butt is kicked out all will be fine, since she won't be there to fudge up the works! When it's Obama v. McCain, Obama will most certainly top McCain and win this fall!

THAT IS WHY I CALL ON ALL THE SUPERDELEGATES TO MAKE A DECISION NOW, SO THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL NOT SINK.

WE NEED TO END THIS MADNESS NOW.

HILARY HAS BEEN DIGGING A GRAVE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WE NEED TO PUT AN END TO THIS MADNESS.

SINCE WHEN IS HILARY THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE?
NOT AFTER THE CROSS OVER REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR HER IN PENNSYLVANIA.
OBVIOUSLY, WE ALL KNOW THAT OHIO,TEXAS AND PENNSYLVANIAN REPUBLICANS CAME IN RECORD NUMBERS TO VOTE FOR HILARY.
OPERATION CHAOS CONCUTED BY CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST LIKE RUSH LIMBURGH MADE THE CALL.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW .

Lee From Treasure Island Florida May 1st, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Hillary Clintons baggage has not been aired. Her Pastor has been charged with Child molestation and sentenced to 7 years in prison. What will the Republicans do with that!?!?!

Lee, you are miss informed, the paster that you refer to was a paster from a town named Clinton, NY, and has nothing to do with Sen Clinton, and i will not say you said that on purpuse just to hurt Sen. Clinton.
. CNN should correct this miss statement.

What questions are people being asked in these so-called polls?

1. Who's more electable?
A) Hillary Clinton
B) Adolf Hitler
C) The Killer from "No Country from Old Men"
D) Satan

2. Who is the least favorable?
A) Barack Obama
B) God
C) The Pope
D) Gizmo from "Gremlins"

The only way we can see McCain beating Obama is that all those who support Hillary jump ship simply because she don't get the nomination from the party. Other than that... I think democrats are larger than the republican party with the independents sitting in the neutral zone!

So, stop the madness... PEOPLE use your OWN HEADS to think and stop letting the PUNDITS and the MEDIA play you like a un-tuned instrument!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

The only reason these polls show John McCain doing even somewhat well is because the democrats are split. Why...I dont know because for me it is clear which direction this country needs to go in....one we have not gone before.

OBAMA 08.

Let's wait a couple days and see how the public reacts to her lies surrounding this Gas Tax Holiday she keeps bragging about. The only other person who actually supports it is McCain. I'm betting the polls will turn around in the next 2-3 days once people figure it out.

With all of the negative press this bill is now getting, her supporter's are saying "hillary doesn't need experts to tell her whether the bill will benefit American's" . How egocentric can you possibly get?

She gonna run the country without the congress, senate, financial advisors, etc.. WAKE UP PEOPLE, THIS WOMAN IS A MONSTER!!!

Polls don't include Republican and independent support!

I wondering why CNN is always talking about Hillary is the strongest candidate in the poll when Obama was the strongest candidate CNN was not reporting as he was the strongest candidate they was saying is was just moving up in the poll

If Obama is the nominee I will not care one bit if McCain gets in and I will help him by giving him my vote. Just speak for oneselves when you say everyone will get behind Obama – wrong!!!

This is another despirate attempt by the crooked Clinton campaign to mislead voters. These polling numbers are soft and they know it, and will change given the environment of the General Election.

If you really want to talk about electability, you have to consider the consistent high negative and low trustworthy numbers Clinton has carried since her husband was elected president.

Hillary

For

President !!!!!!

She WOULD beat Mccain – Obama has too much bad publicity now

Hillary is losing now delegates and she will lose May 6th in Indiana and North Carolina.

What a desperate lady she is now

The CNN photo in the story says it all she looks sacared .

She should be scared her campaign will now be defeated by Obama once and for all.

Agreed. Look it up. PETER PAUL vs. HILLARY CLINTON

Obama as a nominee will be the end of Democratic Party aspiration for the presidency...

President Bush = Worst president Ever
Hillary Clinton = Worst Campaign Ever

They both need to be gone. Now.

Obama's different view about how to control rising gas price is differfent from others and have been approved to be what we need. Others are stuck into their wrong ideas. He's bee battered by both parties just like Josh said. All this means something. He is gonna be our next president! Only my school and Politics makes my heart pumping like this. I am voting Obama!

Blah. Blah. Blah. Usual Clinton tactic. Take any poll and skew it until favors their position. So far she is not winning in any poll that puts her head to head with Obama. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
Yes we can.

CNN ...why no reporting on the Peter Paul controversy? you spend months on Rev Wright...but ignore a story that has election fraud and federal crimes attached to it? Why not expose Hillary for her past involvements?

The Hillary supporters will never go for Obama. If it is not Hillary, then it is McCain and Hillary can take it in 2012. Wait and see.

If Harold Ickes says it's true,,,It must be true~!? Right? Give ME a Break~!! he's been doing this for months~!! And not only this Peter Paul thin, but everytime something erupts with Obama....just pull back the layers and you'll find a Clintonista in close proximity..ie. ABC News debacle-George Stephanopoulos, Jeremiah Wright event at NPC-Barbara Reynolds, ect. Hillary's negatives are still too high for my taste.....I couldn't care less what Ickes says......When are folks in the MSM gonna truly "vet" Clinton.....Peter Paul election fraud case, and her "membership" in the "Family" Fellowship of Douglas Coe......let's have some equal vetting going on here.......John McCain should be next as well~

Corporation owns media and corporations decides on a news of the day as I have not hear from news organizations that April 2008 was the most deadly month for our soldiers, did not hear but a blip on Pentagon lying to American people thought retired military officers
so to conclude corporation are the deciders Paul vs Clinton not news worthy but pastor Wright is.

maybe you had to hear of Mr. Paul on youtube because the mainstream media doesn't report on ridiculous nonsense. If you google Mr. Paul's name, you also get several videos showing what a liar he is, and how his claims are bogus.

Google Larry Sinclair if youre interested in stupid nonsense.

Why are we wasting our time voting in the primaries? Let's just take a poll and whoever wins the SD should pick them to run in the general election. Why should my vote count? I am not supporting Queen Hillary so it shouldn't matter how I vote. This is ridiculous. It the results aren't what Clinton and her cult followers want, they just change the rules. How arrogant can someone be to expect Obama to quit and let Hillary run for president like some of the Clinton cult followers! She is ahead by one point so we should just void the results and let her run. The runs MUST stay the same from the start to the finish, rules that she agreed to.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED MR PRESIDENT

Totally destroyed the United State's International Image, US Economy, Record Gas Price, High Unemployment, Record Profits for Oil Companies, High Food Price, Thousands Dead in Iraq, Billions spent and wasted in Iraq, do not have enough space to list all his accomplishments !

With McCain, the vast right wing media, Hillary, Bill, et al constantly attacking Obama, he has fared extremely well and the SDs need to recognize that.

Of course, there is much new dirt as well as old irt on Clinton, which, when it comes to light, will make her unelectable.

Hillary Clinton: Ready for impeachment on day 1.

She won't be able to get anything done!

Yes folks, she has a court case set for her to testify about her criminal activities in November, after the election.

Isn't it nice to know we may go back to the Clinton presidency era with an impeachment to boot?

The Clinton campaign only seems to believe in the polls that favor their candidate. As we have seen, polls change everyday. Sorry Hillary – the nomination will not be handed to you – you will have to earn it.

Are you kidding me Mr. Ickes? Ha! Ha! That funny because right now, my own grandson can BEAT McCain!!! I don't think you realize your comments are insulting to your own candidate who is behind in pledged delegates and the popular votes, AND is only 19 super delegates behind. So how can the second place candidate be the strongest? If she was, she would be in the LEAD!!! DAH.

For this idiot to even suggest that Sen. Clinton is the strongest candidate is just a bunch of HOGWASH.

IF she was indeed the strongest candidate she would be in the LEAD from the start wouldn't she? YOU can't claim your the strongest candidate when your are losing or behind the person in the LEAD!! What's wrong with this statement, it doesn't even make any sense.

This is nothing but another disgusting ploy by a Clinton advisor to try and plead Sen. Clinton's case.

HOWEVER, when has the second place candidate ever been the STRONGEST candidate?

If you think about the FACTS and not the FANTASY. Sen. Clinton was deemed the "favorite candidate" by everyone under the sun. UNTIL Sen. Obama proved that to be nothing but a "myth". His ability to capture the lead early on and to widen his lead is NOT a myth, but Sen. Clinton's reality!!

The Clinton camp continues to spew how she is "more electable", she's the "stronger" candidate when it comes to beating Sen. McCain. But the American People know better.

Like I said, my 3 year old grandson can BEAT McCain. For the Clinton camp to suggest Clinton can beat Sen. McCain because she's the stronger candidate is truly an insult when you think about how "out of touch" Sen. McCain is.

The Republican Party has NOT been attacking Sen. Clinton because they KNOW she's is NOT in the lead and therefore is not even a contender. It's Sen. Obama who they keep attacking because they KNOW he's the one they have to face in November and they KNOW they are in for one hell of a battle once the voters unite.

Hey Queen Hillary supporters I hope you can read better than you can add. Since PA primary : At least dozen superdelegates have publicly weighed in so far this week. Of those, roughly two-thirds have supported Obama, and one-third have backed Clinton.
Hillary is TOAST!
P.S GO GET YOUR OWN THEME: YES, WE CAN!

The Peter Paul Vs Clinton Trial has NOT even been mentioned by CNN are other media outlets.

CNN and others want this race to go on for ever. At least I heard something about RESKO for a while.

What's up CNN, Profits got your tongue?

Voters, don't get distracted by these serial Hillary bashers. All they're promoting is hatred. We know Hillary for years since she's been in the public eye and there will be no surprises. We know Hillary is strong and smart and she's shown to us that she's a fighter and she will fight for us. Hillary is the one with solutions and can help fix our economy, our country. Even Elizabeth Edwards has recently spoke out and endorsed Hillary's Universal Health Care Plan. Again, we need a fighter in the white house, not a smooth talker. Vote for Hillary@

She know she will be history so soon, she is so desperate, watch what she will come up with next.

Does anyone know when was the last time Hillary actually pumped her own gas or was even a vehicle that was being filled prior to this?

My guess is that she hasn't pumped her own gas since leaving Arkansas. She probably doesn't even know how to operate a modern gas pump.

Is there anyone who still wants Hillary for the next Pres? The NEGATIVE candidate, the CRONIC LIAR, She has her own personal agenda for political power, HER PERSONAL ATTACKS ON BARACK HAVE PROVEN THAT. I can't see how the Superdels can vote for her. She has hurt the Dem Party with her negative attacks. I don't see how she can win. We are moving forward with BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.

Here is a pitch

Obama needs 293 delegates

Clinton needs 433 delegates

Obama 08!!!!

Polls are fluid, and these are taken at the height ot the Wright controversy. The Republicans are sitting on a land mine of info on Hillary. Obama is too much of a gentleman and statesman to throw them at her, but the Republicans aren't. The superdelegates have access to information we cannot get. They know what's going on.

Hillary Clinton have the most dirt on her than any other person running for president.

She have a big surprise coming her way the Republicans from Texas have a playbook already being circulated in preparation for her.

All the afairs that Bill Clinton have on her and the sex wit Monica Lewinski is just a part of Chapter 1. She will be in tears once they start on her.

Obama Cult – Look up Larry Sinclair!

Excuse me, Why does Hillary have to beg and threaten these
SUPERDELEGATES? Look, if the Superdelegates Know about
the Clinton's Past Activities, we will remember you who swing
towards Hillary. YOU KNOW OF THEIR PAST! WHOEVER GOES
OVER TO THE CLINTON'S HAVE BEEN PROMISED SOMETHING.
THAT IS HOW THEY WORK.

EDWARDS KNOWS ALL ABOUT THE CLINTON'S CRIMINAL PAST.
HILLARY AND BILL HAVE TOO MANY "FRIENDS IN POLITICS" REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC AND LOBBYIST. THE CLINTON'S OWE THEM. HOW CAN HILLARY MAKE ANY CHANGE HAPPEN WHEN THEY OWE EVERYBODY FAVORS.

HOW EASY IS IT GOING TO BE FOR BILL TO "MAKE DEALS" THAT
GO RIGHT INTO HIS POCKET WHEN HE IS LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE. AND HILLARY CAN TURN HER HEAD. SINCE THE CLINTON'S ARE SO GOOD AT USING PEOPLE, THEY CAN MAKE
THEIR PERSONAL MONEY AND DENY! THAT IS THEIR GAME.

THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THE "BONNIE AND CLYDE'S OF AMERICAN POLITICS." THEY HAVE SOLD OUR JOBS AND PERSON-NALLY GAINED MONEY FROM DUBAI AND COLUMBIAN, JUST TO NAME A FEW.

EDWARDS, WHAT HAVE THEY PROMISED YOU? WE WILL KNOW AND WE WILL FIND OUT. YOU READ AND YOU KNOW THEM SO ARE YOU GOING TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. ARE YOU THE PERSON THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? RICHARDSON AND MANY OTHERS HAD "COURAGE"
MR. EDWARDS, DO YOU HAVE COURAGE/ DO YOU ACTIONS INSURE "TRUTH" TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?????????

“A spate of new public polls out this week confirms what we have been arguing for some time: Hillary Clinton is the strongest candidate to beat John McCain in November,” writes Ickes.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Oh god, that's the funniest thing I've heard in years. If Obama loses the nomination I'll make darn sure McCain doesn't lose the general election.

POLLS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO ARE THEY POLLING? CLINTON'S SUPPORTERS OR MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICIAN OPERATION CHAOS???

It's 3am. in the morning,.... do you know where your husband Bill is??

After the goalposts have moved all over the country, Clinton now suggests the results of a weekly poll.

Desperation!!

Desperation is really showing.
Many democrat will vote Obama if Clinton drops out.
Maybe Hillary has to cry like in Michigan, but i guest it will not help this time around.

The Obvious gender bias in the democratic party is... well, just so undemocratic.

This woman has been undermined by her own party.

hopefully they will realize obama is not going to beat mccain, and jump aboard and support hillary. at least she has a chance against mccain. swiftboaters have to much to work with, the rev. wright drama. hillary 08!

Obama 08

I read about the new super for BO today – and was suprised he picked today out of the air

Then I read the polls – and realised he was leaning BO for a while and did the BO camp a favor (requested??) and came out today knowing the poll news – see Ickes and see daily trackers online at Gallup and Rasmussen Reports) would SLAM BO

Ickes sent out his letter today – for two reasons IMO

One in politics – news gets cold fast – so move on hot good news

And Second – or maybe First – to blunt the impact of the super who went BO today of all days and did not wait for IN results

All Ickes wants to do today is freeze supers/automatics till post Primary Day

May the better person win

Vote DEM no matter who or whom and never McBush

As i am typing i am watching the polls from CNN and they are saying 51% of American believe Hillary is DISHONESTY Person.
So when you talk of polls they are polls that go against her, but just like you (supporters) and her said, let SD judge.
at the end of the day i will vote for her if she becomes the nominee.

The Pastor you are talking about re: Clinton is a Minister from Clinton, NY not a pastor of the Clintons. Numb nuts....

It is nice to see that Hillary has that kind of pull in the battleground States. Then Hillary should have no problem pulling those groups for Barack Obama in the General Election.

As long as Obama is ahead, even with double digits, which he was for weeks, nobody talked about the Clintons' electability. If Obama is behind in one meaningless poll for one day, the Clinton's political machine starts firing.
Stop BS and double standards.
Media should be shameful of covering any BS that comes out of Clintons' gang and not getting to Clinton's problems now and before, i.e. W.W., Paul, you name it. Why the Clintons' gang want to change the rules on a day to day basis? Do they think Am. People are dumb?

Bush won the popular vote too? Obama promises change so did Bush? Bush sure did change Washington from bad to worse. Obama is new to Washington so was Bush. Bush seemed like a nice guy, so does Obama…are you getting the picture????

If Obama wins more states and wins more votes than Hillary, and the super delegates still go ahead to give this nomination to Hillary, it would be the greatest INJUSTICE in American History.

Obama has had to work hard for all his votes,despite going against the King and Queen of the Democratic party (Bill and Hillary). He didnt have anyone who owed him any favours, He didnt have any money, He doesnt have personal wealth to boost his campaign, He played by the democratic rules of not campaigning in Michigan and FL, He won 10 States back to back, Big, Small and Swing States. He is leading in popular votes.

And for Super Delegates to still go ahead to give Hillary the nomination would be so cruel, and would most certainly break up the DNC.

Obama has ran his campaign in such a way that if he loses to Clinton, his supporters can still vote for the democratic nominee, But Clinton has ran her campaign without any regard for who ever wins the nomination. A win at all cost mentality that is very destructive.

Thats what superdelegates should be looking at, not flunctuating polls taken while Obama is going through the eye of the storm.

Nat'l Polls: Obama Leads In Both
Posted by KYLE TRYGSTAD | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author
Obama leads Clinton in two new national polls by CBS News/New York Times and NBC/Wall Street Journal. In both cases, Obama extended his lead from the polls taken about a month ago.

NBC/Wall Street Journal

Obama 46
Clinton 43
Und 7

CBS News/New York Times

Obama 46
Clinton 38
Und 14

Obama leads by 3.0 points in the RCP Nat'l Average

It's too late to cry when the head is off. American people knows clinton more than she thinks that she knows herself. People are tired of war,war,war. Her latest threat against Iran shows that she's unrepentant. I think that she should be worst than Bush. She's no longer talking about her experience in foreign policy. I wonder what makes her ready from day one if it's the mess in Somalia or more than a million that died in Rwanda genocide, maybe it's the snipper fire. Ride on OBAMA!!!!!!

For the 50 millionth time, neither of them will have enough delegates to rightfully claim the nomination, so it will be up to the superdelegates to make the final decision. That decision should not be based on making some folks feel good about themselves. That decision should be about winning the fugging election! Get real folks. Obama cannot win in the general. Hillary is the democratic party's only hope of winning.

Leaning on information from polls taken during what would have to be considered among the worst weeks of Obama's campaign to sell this point just seems like a reach. It would also serve Ickes well to refer to the superdelegates the same way that everyone else refers to them. To refer to them as "automatic delegates" when they haven't even all been chosen just seems silly.

DREAM ON HILLARY!!!

Cammi317, you bet they are scared, as is the RNC ! HRC's campaign is comparing apples to oranges. Lets all be honest, whomever the Dem Nominee is, he/she will beat McCain. I find it hard to believe that a Dem supporter would really vote Republican, wanting a 3rd term Bush Admin. As much as I dislike Hillary, I dislike more the fact that gas prices are $4+ per gallon, foreclosures are astronomical, unemployment is up, the war in Iraq, the environment is in peril,you get my drift, the list goes on.....it's sad to say, but the country's hardships is a plus for the Dems.

Republicans are campaigning against Obama because they know they could beat the Clinton's. The republicans don't owe the Clinton's.

Do! Or Die.. Borack Obama, is "Damaged Good's". Even in an Auction, he would bring very little....

Is CNN going to run 1 story on the Paul case? Just 1?? Vetted??? Please.

The people who conducted to polls are Hillary supporters!

How about the polls from the last couple of months???? Please, we pick and choose the one we want too follow. Unless the superdelegates were waiting for a polls to favor Clinton, which I'm sure will change again next week, this doens't matter.

I have come to the sad conclusion that CNN officially stands for the Clinton Network News channel. This can be the only logical reason for your refusal to cover the Paul vs Clinton trial that is currently underway, failing to mention the conviction of Clinton's former pastor for sexual child abuse, and failing to look into the hypocricy of the Clinton household recieving $800,000 for Bill's support of Colombia Trade Agreement while Hillary states that she is against it.

I would expect this shallow level of journalism from Fox but had always believe CNN to be fairer and true believers in reporting the facts. I am saddned to see just how wrong I am!

I want to give a shout-out to "Lee From Treasure Island Florida," you are my new best friend !!!

I second that!

For how long will the Clinton campaign ask the super-delegates to hold back on their endorsements. Isn't it a fact that the polls are a reflection of the propaganda that is fuelled by the media and surrogates alike. If they are truly the winners they would not be acting this desperate. At the end of the day the truth prevails and the truth is not what the media wants us to people but the will of the people. OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

When President Obama has Rev. Wright to the white house for dinner and their best friends again...because after all Obama is doing what he has to do to get elected...they'll all be very popular superdelegates....Then there's Michelle – "Let's move past the pastor and on to real issues" that means – please ignore my husband is a poor judge of character and he's a lier and let's just shove this to the side because it's hurting our campaign....GO HILARY!! OR MCCAIN!!!

Paul vs. Clinton has puzzled me, This is been going on and put on hold till after the nominee battle. Wonder if the judge has been influents by the clinton money?

Everything about Obama is in the opening why is this being snub?

To Cammi: no, they are not scared, the American people are scared if Obama gets the nomination! He has NO experience and as of late, his lack of integrity is showing. Hillary backers do not like Obama – I have been to three rallys for Hillary and everyone of us agree that he is arrogant and full of fluff. We will all vote for McCain if he gets the nomination. BTW, my vote in Michigan did not count. Keep remembering if Michigan and FL were in the mix, the Kool-Aid machine would be half empty, not half full.

Hillary '08

The people are getting the number from the "experienced" people. Remember the "dot com stock market crash in March 2000"? That's what happen when the investors'd no experience in investing!! Same thing is happening now with Obama. "Ineperrienced" people have been bidding him up. Watch, he could come down–00ps!!!

HILLARY 2008, ALL THE WAY!!!!

The connection to ayers is much deeper and more political. Ayers is part of the ultra-liberal inner circle in Chicago politics and he met him through Michelle Obama who served on a board with Bernadine Dhorn, Bill Ayer's wife. He chose to get into his circle to win the illinois state senate re-election after he stole the first one by kicking everyone off the ballot in the first run so he can run unopposed.

The Republican Party has sat idly by.

Once their missiles are in the air, who's to say what will be the better stance to fight them.

The only certainty is that a united Democratic Party is better than a divided one.

Hillary just picked up 4 new york sd. Go empire state!

Obama's superdelegate support is piping up now because he is having a rough week and positive news for him will take the attention off of his struggles. It's smart – or typical – politics.

Whichever of the democratic candidates gets the nomination, half of the party will be upset. The only real uniters are the ones who will try to unite these two candidates on a joint ticket. I don't think it really matters that they are both very similar policy-wise, but the only way this party is really going to come together is if they are willingly or unwillingly forced onto the same ticket. I don't think either would turn down a VP offer, although of course neither should give up their campaigns for the nomination.

I think Clinton is the way smarter choice for the nomination but let's be realistic here – joint ticket, whichever one is on top (pun intended).

I agree, Obama is not electable. Obama true colors are starting to shine. I am a democrat that would never vote for Obama , I feel he is Anti American, Racist.
I pray if the supers give this to Obama, I hope Hillary runs as and Independent, and tell the DNC to flip off.
I will change my party to independent. All those new dems. they registered, they will be losing a lot more than that. Dems. for Hillary, if she is not the nominee switch party to Independent and vote for McCain.

rg
the judge says she want have to testafy until after the election in nov.
does that tell you something
the court was 4-25-08 ans 4-26-08. i put this on the blogs trhey were not posted
she has 2 crooked brothers ==hugh and tony rodham- they want post that either
they must not want quenn hill to be upset. i live in arkansas, and 65 year old white lady. i know the clintons and believe me there is lots not put out on the clintons. like her pastor went to prisom in jan 2008 for malesting a 7 year old girl.
don't upset hill bill will point his finger at you. if a kindergarden child pointed their finger they would get expelled from school

please post this, it is only fair
i am sure this want get posted

DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP

THATS THE SOUND IF THE CLINTON MACHINE !!

What won't the Clintonistas do. They are the ultimate hypocrites. Obama had been leading McCain in the polls forever. They were, of course, silent then. The polls shouldn't be used to help Obama. But as soon as they favor Hillarah... now the super delegates are supposed to pay attention.

give me a break. the superdelegates are all smarter than that. those polls have been out for a while now and they are continuing to go to Obama.

To be fare it was not Clintons pastor it was a pastor in the town of Clinton. In the Paul civil case both Clintons were dismissed from the case. Just as the prosecuter in the Rezko case stated that there is no evidence of misconduct by Sen. Obama and there is no intention to call him as a witness by the prosecution or the defense.

I suppose that every person that has posted here will blame Clinton when Obama loses in Nov. Why do dems keep throwing the most liberal candidate out there to be beaten by the Republicans? We have had 1 Democrat in the White House in the last 28 yrs, can anyone remember that name? CLINTON!!!!

JOSH

You say

The Republican Party is battling Obama in North Carolina with ads. This means that Obama is fighting both the Repubs and Clinton in NC and elsewhere. The Repubs are so scared of Obama.

I disagree with your conclusion - re who they fear the most

First – the REPS are battling last weeks poll winner – BO being ahead in national polls and the Gallup and Rasmussen Daily trackers

So they run ads against BO

They also ran ads they like – of the ugly type – and RW (through no fault of Clinton) is the enemy REPS want to run against

I suggest that – as per a NYT article recently – the REPS who wanted HRC as their opposition are rapidly deciding the weaker easier to attack DEM torch bearer will be BO and now are begggining to want him as the candidate)

Watch for a week – if HRC wins Indiana big (8+? would be nice for me) and keeps NC close (5 or under) - I think the REPS will soon redo their commercials (or dust off the old ones) and run against HRC with the wind at her back

I was going to vote for Hilary but now I feel we have to unite as a democratic party .
Hillary will do more damage then good if she continues.

I like Hillary or did until she went on Fox News .

My feeling is I am a Democrat first and since Obama is making sense on the gas issue and the war issue I have decided to endorse Obama over Clinton.

I am not a super anything just a voter who has finally become disgusted with Hillary .

Now I hope others like me who supported Hillary will vote for Obama who I now feel is honest and tells us the truth not what we want to hear.

I see Hillary has sounding desperate now and pandering to whomever will listen.

Its sad it really is.

Are you kidding me Mr. Ickes? Ha! Ha! That funny because right now, my own grandson can BEAT McCain!!! I don't think you realize your comments are insulting to your own candidate who is behind in pledged delegates and the popular votes, AND is only 19 super delegates behind. So how can the second place candidate be the strongest? If she was, she would be in the LEAD!!! DAH.

For this idiot to even suggest that Sen. Clinton is the strongest candidate is just a bunch of HOGWASH.

IF she was indeed the strongest candidate she would be in the LEAD from the start wouldn't she? YOU can't claim your the strongest candidate when your are losing or behind the person in the LEAD!! What's wrong with this statement, it doesn't even make any sense.

This is nothing but another disgusting ploy by a Clinton advisor to try and plead Sen. Clinton's case.

HOWEVER, when has the second place candidate ever been the STRONGEST candidate?

Obama who they keep attacking because they KNOW he's the one they have to face in November and they KNOW they are in for one hell of a battle once the voters unite.

Finally someone mentioned the court case and Clinton.
I think CNN are sandbagging this one especialy the Wolf

Superdelegates are not as dumb as Hillary,s holday gas tax break we the people are looking forward to visionary leader with sound judgement and not political expidency.Ickes is speaking for a political campaign team and not for the people of "THE UNITED STATES". Nothing will change the minds of people with sound judgement'THE SUPERDELEGATES" Time done done Sir.

hey cnn, what kind of journalism do you do? you have so many stories every single day, how come none of your reporters have reported on peter paul vs. clinton case as of yet? you are certainly doing a poor job to report the truth....... how much did the clintons pay you to keep your mouth shut?

(i know you are not gonna post it since it speaks against you.....)

This is absolute BS. The people that were polled were probably republicans disguised as 'Hillary' supporters.

Anything to somehow give the impression that Hillary's still got a shot at the nomination...

Billary is a master in the debating field. Make no mistake about it. It takes alot more the the mastery of words to get the job done and Billary is not one of them. Obama is our man america. Lets unite and be proud of our administration once again.

Sen. Obama is the stronger candidate. He is not only fighting against Sen. Clinton, but the republicans as well as the media. If this is not a test, I don't know what is.

No other candidate has ever gone through the things this man as endured in the past few months. It is not being able to take the heat, it how unfair and bias this race has been. He has had to defend others as well. I guess if you desire to ever run for president, you need to get a resume on everyone you encounter in your personal life as well as your civic duties.

I think Sen. Clinton will be slaughter in a race against the republicans. Who knows, after the case of Paul VS Clinton, she might be impeached if she lucked up and win president.

Oh, Good Grief !! Have you looked at that "evidence" ?? Its nothing.

RG is right, I also stumbled upon this piece of very interesting news. Google Clinton VS Paul in California. It is incredible. Who wants the Clintons circus in town again? I sure don't.

So the candidate that a week or two before the Pennsyvania primary said "I don't look at polls. They are just a snapshot in time." is now pushing the recent polls that have come out as her superdelegate pitch? Really, how many times can someone keep changing the rules and moving the goalposts so that they appear to be better suited for something that by every traditional marker, they are not.

The people are starting to know, and show it in polls that Hillary is the stronger candidate. If the polls show this, then I would have to go with the what the people think. They will be the voters. And a lot of bad things about Obama have come to light since some of the poeple voted initially in their primaries.

The DNC must now decide:

Obama to make a point now and lose in November.
Hillary to get it done in November.

Obamaites this isn't over yet. The latest polls I've seen show Hillary ahead by 10 points in Indiana and Obama's lead down to 7 points in North Carolina. And don't forget Obama's large delegate count in no way reflects his popular vote total. The former is inflated by caucus wins in small states where turnout was minimal. Take Alaska as an example. Obama won 5 delegates with a turnout of some 400 voters and a plurality of only 99 votes ( Hillary won New Jersey by 120,000 votes and won only 9 delegates). What an insane system the Dems have put together; it certainly isn't one man one vote. .

Oh wait, I thought the Clinton campaign did not believe in polls...oh, yeah, only when Obama is leading...

Hillary, enjoy your 15 minutes. Obama will be back at the top of every poll real soon...Barack Obama is our next President!

"Attention superdelegates, our ship is sinking, but our life boats are better so come with us." This despite Clinton's stratespherically high negatives....and if she keeps bringing up Wright..as a sign of "character" (wink wink) then please tell me what staying with Bill says about Hillary's character? As a taxpayer I am NOT going to pay the room and board for Bill Clinton's return trip to the White House. It makes me so sad to think of how that man disrespected our country with his antics. Enough!

Yes, steal the the nomination and I will personally rally behind Nader or Write-in. I consider myself independent but usually vote democrat. But I will not vote for a cheater. Every major primary and the media is obsessed with bringing down OBama. How about equal coverage on Clinton or McCain. I have not seen one negative story brought up about them? CNN you make me sick. Fox news is deplorable!! If Clinton would please tell me WHAT she did that gives her so much Experience, i would at least respect her. But she is nothing but a rider on Bill's coattail.....

STOP WHINNING!!!!

uh, yeah.....

have they seen the latest polls from new jersey? or doesn't that state count now? it counted before when ms clinton won its primary. hm......

Sorry, your old Washington ways of doing things can no longer fool us and your profiting off the backs of hard working Americans has come to an end. Obama will take the nomination and the eleection and bring this nation back to greatness...

Hillary will lose to John McCain. If she STEALS the nomination from the front runner, she will lose the general. SHE WILL LOSE!!

Sorry Clinton supporters. America's presidency is not about creating legacies (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton). We are Americans not Europeans.

Obama!

It's so funny how Clinton supporters are all of the sudden looking at the polls when they start to favor Hillary, but they fail to point out that it's 2 on 1. It's McCain and Hillary against Barack, back before the Republicans had their nominee Barack was whippin Hillary like she stole God's supper. The republicans are focusing their attacks on Barack because they know he'll be the Democratic nominee the only ones on this earth that fail to see that is Hillary & her selfish supporters, who by the way are willing to blow up the democratic party just to get the nomination.

Where are the CNN News tickers with the results of ALL the recent polls??? Huh?? Huh??

Guys! Stop following CNN and its biased coverage! Go to REAL CLEAR POLITICS (RCP) and look at all the polls. She's leading everywhere!! Gone is the "tie" in Indiana.
She's winning in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida against McCain and Obama is NOT. You think Obama is going to be able to beat McCain in November? Haha. Impossible! Hillary knows how to handle it and is the only way to go.
LOOK FOR AN UNBIASED NEWS SOURCE. CNN IS BIASED.

REPORT the PETER PAUL vs CLINTON trial

I think it's a poor strategy to base everything on polls from one single moment. It's only been four months since Iowa voted, and the polls have twisted and turned, risen and fallen countless times since then. So when you consider the fact that we still have SIX months left until the general election, I think it's safe to say that today's polls will be meaningless by the time we vote in November.

For that reason among many others, we need to select a nominee based primarily on actual primary and caucus results, coupled with the supporting decision made by superdelegates. At this point, it looks like that means Obama will be the nominee, and he, by Hillary's own admission in the last debate, is completely capable of beating McCain in the fall to return the White House not just to Democrats, but to the American people.

This pitch to the Super Delegates that the polls show her a better to beat McCain is nonsence...don't fall for this as far as I'm concerned polls do not mean anything. We all know no matter what the the voters do from here on out the SUPER Delegates will be the ones who will have the final say on who is best to lead this country. We all need to unite behind and vote the Republicans out of office. I'm a republican who is disgusted and I feel Obama is the right one for me. But, everyone has their own opionion but in the end we need to get behind the person who does get the nomination. I'm no fan of Hillary but then if she screws up Obama will win in 2012.

I hope and pray that it is Obama.....

EVERYTHING THIS MAN TOUCHES BECOMES DUST.. HE HAS TAKEN DOWN OUR COUNTRY. HE HAS HANDED IT TO THE TERRORISTS. ALL HIS STRATAGIES AND DECISIONS ARE BASED ON LIES AND SELFISH INTERESTS. WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AS A NATION

How lame.......Her on Super's are jumping ship...What does that say. Just step down, already!!!!

Hmm... we are only beginning to learn about S. Obama's negative side!!!

Clinton will not win in the GE.

These polls don't mean a thing, votes do. The country has spoken!
No more political good ole boy rigga ma row!!!!

Billary will not win the nomination! She is a liar and she is phony!

Obama 08!

If it were by poll months before an election when Hillary was ahead of Barack by more than 30 points, Hillary should have been crowned by now.
But she's still trying to find a formulation that will put her on top.

Hillary, you're not electable period.

I really can't stomach Hillary any longer. I hope the DNC and media realizes that it is much more than 22% of Obama supporters who WILL NOT back her if she is the chosen nominee. No one has ever called or surveyed us in regards to our opinion, and no one we know has been surveyed or polled either. These polls are a joke. The majority of Obama supporters do not have land lines and obviously have not been polled. I think the media would be shocked to discover that it's probably more than 50% of Obama supporters who would not back her if she steals the nomination. And yes, I said "steal" because that is what would have to occur for her to receive the nomination- a backroom deal that would overturn the will of the people. Her campaign is so deceitful and treacherous. They will stop at nothing to see her at top, but don't they realize that she will not receive the votes needed to win? She is unelectable- her disapproval ratings are more than enough to prove this fact.

The superdelegates are not stupid and dumb like the "bitter" folks in rural PA and OH. They know the better candidate and cannot be fooled.

Obama '08

CLINTON- WE DONT BELIEVE YOU- YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE

She keeps shoveling crap and Obama shines through it! He is a decent man and should be our next President.
We are tired of the old and really nasty ways of the Clinton campaign . You are desperate Hillary and it is past time for you to pack up and ride away on your broom.
Please do not take our party with you.

Once Obama is elected the nominee those number will change drastrically. Clinton's needs to get out of the race as it is over for her. Once she is out of the race things are going to change for the better with Obama. Nobody and I do mean nobody including some Republicans do not want another Bush term which is what they will get with McCain.

Careful Hillary, your desperation is showing.

Ickes and Clinton must be conducting polls on Mars, because she would loose hands down to McCain. Nobody wants another blue dress scandal in the White House. If Sen. Obama was as callus as she is with promoting negative attack ads against her, her already record high negative rating would be even higher. In the general election I'm sure McCain would call in question her support for "Goldwater", her legal situation in White Water, and her ability to making sound decisions with a philandering husband. As far as negative attacks go she's proven she can dish it, but the question remains, can she take as good as she gives.

Polls go up. Polls go down. Once Hillary is finally out of the race and her followers come to terms with that, Obama's standing in the public eye can only improve.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is by far the best democrat candidate to beat Jon Mccain and the polls points this out. It is silly kind of the superdelegates to see this and vote the other way.

So when will the april fundrasing reports come out? Then we'll see who's got it.

Lets see the poll when it is just Obama, not McCain and Clinton vs Obama. Funny how they are worried now that the SD are going to Obama. I am sure the SD know all about the polls, which are not important unless Hillary is winning. Politics as usual.

uh.. the clinton campaign is made up of idiots. Do they know that the GOPS are going to have field day with the lies of Hillary and in addition they will bash Bill's lies too.

1.) bosnia snipe fire
2.) bringing northern ireland peace
3.)hospital story
4.)where her donations to this campaign is coming from
5.)NAFTA
6.)calling other people elitist when she has 109 million dollars.
7.) depends on what your definition of "is" is

CNN please please please put this comment in. thanks

Hillary Clintons baggage has not been aired. Her Pastor has been charged with Child molestation and sentenced to 7 years in prison. What will the Republicans do with that!?!?!
She pulled another Bosnia sniper fire mis-spoke in Indiana TV ad, blaming Pres Bush for Magnequench Factory going to China, when it was Pres Cliinton who signed the deal.
The donors list of Clinton Library and Foundation will be scarier than Rev Wright or Ayers.
And let us not forget all those scandals: Trooper-gate, File-gate, White Water, Castle Gate, Vince Foster, Peter Paul, Jennifer FLowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, Travel Gate, and God knows what else Rove has cooked up, they've been working on this for years.
Besides...half the country hates her...including me...a 55 year old white woman...IN FLORIDA
Obama has been kind, a gentleman, stuck to the issues, so if the superdelegates think for one moment the young, the independents, and the black voters will show up at the polls...they are mistaken, we will sit this one out.

Polls are fluid and fluctuate day to day. Obama had the highest poll numbers a month ago and those numbers were higher than any Clinton had. Also in NJ he still holds higher numbers than Clinton. Politics is ticking me off big time because it's all BS and that is why I hope Obama wins and can do his best to change that.

If Hillary is so concerned about polls and electability, then she should drop out! There is no possible way for her to win besides stealing the nomination. The American people will not support a thief, and there for she is unelectable under any circumstance.

The only thing she is trying to do at this point is tarnish our nominee and set us up for a third term of the dumbest and most ineffective president in U.S. history.

Still a this is now and Nov. is a different time. Supers can go against the will of the people if they want but that just shows how the Clinton people think the Black folks and Young people must be stupid. We will all go to the polls and vote for an independent so in 2012 we can vote for Obama

HILLARY CLINTON WILL NEVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT-SHE IS TO HATEFULL. IF YOU THINK BUSH'S RATEING ARE LOW, IF HILLARY WERE PRESIDENT, HER RATEING WOULD EVEN BE WORSE THAN BUSH. OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT–THANK GOD.

I don't think that the superdelegates need Ickes to tell them anything. They do their own research. Maybe they are actually looking at all the current Cinton scandals that CNN and the other MSM are not reporting. They know what is going to happen should Clinton be the nominee. Truckloads and truckloads of baggage will be unloaded by the Republicans. Clinton supporters will be amazed and then perhaps ashamed that they were fooled again.
I challenge CNN to report on the Paulv. Clinton story. Show the people that you have some integrity left in your news reporting or is Bill Clinton calling the shots for you?

Howard Ickes reminds me of the Iraqi Information Minister under Saddam - and among younger voters? Can I get some of what he's smoking?

UH-OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS- Everyone is asking what this PETER PAUL VS CLINTONS is???? A recently released video shows Hillary Clinton's involvement in potentially the biggest case of election law fraud in United States history, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton having a part in damaging and ultimately destroying Marvel Comics creator Stan Lee's company and jailing his business partner Peter Paul in an effort to cover up the fraud arising due to a benefit fundraiser held for the Clintons in August 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. And that is why the Clintons are being very quiet about this lawsuit in LA Supreme Court!

Who are the elitest now!?
Another WHITEWATER for the Clintons! Yea and she is going to beat McCain when he brings this up!

Only pro-Obama, anti-Hillary get posted????

As Mr Andrew, the latest Clinton defector to the Obama camp stated, Hillary will do anything to win including destroy the Democratic Party.

The fact that he also stated that he was prepared for the wrath of the Clintons is another fact that superdelgates and voters need to consider.

The Republicans haven't even started on her lies and rewritten history. The media has avoided the topics that I am sure the superdelegates are "taking in".

This letter just underscores the divisiveness her candicy will bring.

Let's do it

Go Hillary

We are voting for her

She has the country's support

INDIANA
4
HILLARY

The republican's are giving Hillary the silent treatment for obvious reasons: they know she is a weaker dandidate. They probably have TONS of negative / attack ads ready for her. They know that Obama will be a clear contrast against John McCain, and the cringe at the idea of voters seeing both Obama and McCain on a debate stage.

oh mr ikes
did hillary scare you? i guess she did you sound despirate
to bad

the Repblicans are scared od the Obama money machine. It is so obvious the country is fatigued by both the Clintons and the Bushes. The dynasty is offically over. I think HRC should drop out gracefully instead of delaying the inevitable because the math is what counts and she is too far behind. Obama's vision is more appealing and that's the danger for McCain. OBAMA 08!!!

SURE CLINTION YOU WILL DO ANYTHING OR SAY ANYTHING TO OVER TURN THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE DO THE (MATH0) YOU HAVE LOST WHY HAS superdelegates THAT has publicly weighed in so far this week. Of those, roughly two-thirds have supported Obama, and one-third have backed Clinton.??? THEY HAVE DONE THE MATH AND THEY KNOW IT IS OVER FOR YOU THEY WONT OVER TURN THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE FOR YOU

Also, Clintons gas "plan" is getting some solid beating from her "own". Both the guvernor in New-York (Clinton backer) and mayor Bloomberg oppose it.

Bloomberg: "It’s about the dumbest thing I’ve heard in an awful long time.”

Perhapes people in general will open their eyes and see how dumb this summer-tax plan is.

Which candidate is being forced to fight this battle on two fronts? She's certainly not, as the republicans are leaving her alone because they know she'll be so much easier to beat in November. It really is telling that they fear an Obama nomination so much that they have to go after him and leave Hillary alone.

Make no mistake, they're pretty darn good strategists, those republicans, and they know who is the easier candidate to beat so they maintain control of the white house. That's why they're bashing Obama now, to make sure that the democrats do something stupid to give the republicans a gift in November.

Of course that's going to have an affect on people's opinions. The supers are smart enough to know that once this is put to bed, the democratic party will come together and this will all be a non-issue.

There is no way Hillary is tougher than Obama. Hillary is only tough by throwing unnecessary weight around. Obama is tougher on issues and better judgements. Prime example this week, how she decided to join Mccain on the suspended gas tax. It was a useless decision on her part and let alone to follow up behind a republican party. Obame is a quiet tough, while Hillary likes to make people believe that she is. This country can't have a president like Hillary flip flopping all over place trying to find solutions to mislead the american people. The only reason the polls are dropping for Obama is, not because he's not tough, it's only because of someone else actions(Rev Wright). This does not make for a bad president. American people knows that Obama is no Rev Wright. So Clinton supporters, really sit back and think is this someone we want. This is not the 90's and the world still would not be what the 90's were back than. Bill just got elect at a time when things were n't so bad and upon leaving office
Bill's baggage went on to President Bush

Obama 08-2012

I read some tracking polls toady on my own (Gallup and Rasmussen)

The shift is huge

NOTE: It takes till today Thursday for things to reflect Sunday and Monday issues as the polls are 3-4 day rolling average polls

Now we get to see if it reverses again? (Look on Satruday or Sunday)

But the most recent shift - to HRC - besides TX OH and PA – in the polls is seismic (sp?)

Something like 8-12 points since April 21 or so on both polls confirming the reality of what has happened

Amazing (then again in a two person race if one loses 5% the other most often gets 5% - ==== 10% shift - so it is really BO losing 5 and that 5 not going to "other" or undecided)

Vote DEM whoever whomever it be – and the winds might shift – and if BO can stop his downward free fall – he will be that much a tougher candidate against McCain

Hopefully they are smart enough to realize the only reason Obama support is softening is because Hillary is undermining him.

Its like she's walking around with a hose pointed in the air trying to sell umbrellas.

There is nothing to worry about for Sen. Clinton.

If not now, it is going to be 2012 for Sen. Clinton. All Sen. Obama's Super delegates will find out hard way of their mistakes.

Hillary 2008

Any links to verify Clinton's campaign debt? I keep hearing about this and if she truly can't manage a campaign she should drop out.

DESPERATION on the part of the HRC camp.

Funny how the only way the Clintonistas can get to Obama is through Jeremiah Wright. Nothing else worked. So just in the heat of the latest shortterm polls reflecting Wright's recent media attention, the Clintons bring out their polls. How stupid. You know, Hillary should be should be so gratified, that she should make Wright her running mate, you think?

sore looser

Everything they try to through at OBAMA comes back and hit them smack dab in the middle of there face...... they paid REV wright to come out and to speak.... And it is not going to work... OBAMA is a beast and the clintons cant tear him down..... All of her supers are leaving her and going to him...hillary i wish that you will give it up, b/c you will never be president... there will never be another clinton in the white house...and when the primaries are over on the 6th... the polls will show that OBAMA is better .......ITS funny how hillary said in an interview that the polls dont matter.... but i guess now they do matter....

REPORT the PETER PAUL vs CLINTON trial

B Fair CNN

the clinton/bush royalty is showing its ugly head. wonder what deal was made with this person of interest, maybe some of the NAFTA money the clintons are making goes to him. 20 YEARS OF BUSH/CLINTON IS ENOUGH TO STOMACH. It's time for change, and when you get the beverly hillbillies out of the way obama will be our next president in spite of all the damage the clintons have cause by lies and a hunger for power i have never seen before-and this is from a successful business owner, white, college educated, vet, long line of active republican family. I GET SICK FOR THE SECONDS IT TAKES ME TO TURN THE CHANNEL WHEN BILLARY COMES ON. She "wouldn't have stayed in that church" but she was in the odd house I mean white house while billie was playing with young girls and she stayed. let me think-what a person says or does. wright not obama said things. clinton brought in young girls and had sex with them. IS IT WHAT A PERSON SAYS OR DOES???? BUSH/CLINTON IS TIME TO GET OUT OF DC OR WE NEVER WILL HAVE CHANGE.

I find it funny that those who support Obama say that the superdelegates should follow the popular vote. However if the superdelegates were to do so what would even be the point of having delegates who are able to vote as they see fit?

If people are smart they will elect a Republican for the pure simple fact that the Democrats will do exactly the same stupid crap as the Republicans did when they held control of both houses and the presidency.

RG: Not to mention the almost total lack of coverage on the truth behind Magnequench.

While Clinton's supporters abandon her, her campaign points to fugacious polls – which should the super delegates pay attantion to??

RG.. Have you look at the whole thing? It was determined a frivolous lawsuit. If there were truth to it, the media would be all over it. Hope you didn't donate. Wonder how many Obama-bots have?

Hillary, whatever happened to letting the states vote....taking this to the convention. Two-Faced wench.

They are looking at the big picture, not just THIS WEEKS polls. Nice try though sir, keep moving the goal posts.

RG I am gladd you notices this. I have been putting this on the blog for about 3 weeks and it was not put on. I am so happy that someone else can see where i have had some great concerns with Hillary now

HONESTLY HILLARY SHOULD GET OUT OF THE RACE

general election match up polls is not relevant at this time
a few weeks ago, Obama was doing better than hillary in those polls. in fact this is the first time since super tuesday that hillary is doing better than obama in general elections match up polls
I don't think that supers will buy that

Funny that they are point to polls now. Where has their polls being the last few weeks? These polls only indicate who is having a tougher week not who is more electable.

TO ALL SUPERDELEGATES:

I am sending this twice hoping that CNN publishes this.. They have a way of throwing out anything that works for Hillary…

AS PER REV WRIGHT"S SPEECH…. What you all need to realise is that he did not say anything different. All that he said, about America and AIDS etc, Obama had heard, and supposedly denounced in March. What upset Obama, was that his innermost secret is about to get exposed… as soon as the Rev. stated that, “Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls,” Wright told the Press Club. “Preachers say what they say because they’re pastors. . . . I do what pastors do. [Obama] does what politicians do,” he was asking ALL American to think, and ask themself, is Barack Obama telling them {American people} the truth about himself.

What Wright was saying is that he knows, based on his long personal relationship with Obama, that Obama agrees with him but can’t say so publicly for political reasons.

There is no way that Wright would not have known this man real good, not after 20 years.. You are all in for great REGRET!!!!

I am so shocked at the way you have all turned from the person who can take this country to where it needs to be.

The last time I checked, being "strong" dosen't mean being divisive or manipulative or smearing your opponent who happens to be on YOUR team.....maybe someone should tell Hillary and her supporters that this isn't the general election & that Barack is not the enemy....Mcsame is & his fellow republicans!!!!

What WILL unite the democratic party is how the winner gets the nomination....I GUARANTEE u that if the superdelegates give this to Hillary, repulicans WILL win the general elections period.

The infamous Clinton baggage has not been publicized on cable TV during these primary contests......the republicans have a nuclear plan ready to be used against Sen.Clinton...that is... IF she steels the win from Sen.Obama!!!!

How she is going to defeat McCain with her lie, war authorization and NAFTA.

Go away Billary!!!!! Do not damage the Democrat party.

Even after Barack puts Hillary away, he will still have to fight the battles on two fronts. Clinton said she will do everything in her power to help a Democrat win but unspoken is that she expects that to be her. Anyone who thinks she will campaign hard for Barack when he wins is smoking dope (and is inhailing, and is not lying about inhailing)

InHail to the chief indeed, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. A pair made in Hell.

OK, so who actually pays attention to these polls? They flip-flop around on an almost hourly basis. What matters to most, and why the superdelegates are starting to come forward (finally) is that Obama is winning! He is going to win! Hillary, on the other hand, cannot win! The people, for the most part, have spoken. Barack Obama is going to be the nominee! These hypothetical matchups mean NOTHING! I really wish national news agencies such as CNN would stop reporting nonsense. Everybody knows that Obama is the stronger candidate and inevitable nominee. PLEASE, let's all move forward to more important issues, like how Obama is going to beat McCain.

#1 These polls as stated are "hypothetical".
#2 This same argument could have been made 4 weeks back for Obama and will likely change again.

So settle down Beavis, Obama leads over all in delegates and popular vote (save your FL & MI whine it's not going to happen no matter how much you want it to they broke the rules ....) Obama is picking up superdelegates 2:1 just today. Billie's own cabinet members are backing Obama, what does this tell you about what they thought and think of Hillary?

OBAMA 08' Baby

There goes the Clinton Camp with dirty devisive tactics again.

"Obama 08 Enough said"

Harold please be realistic, for once. As you well know 99% of peoples are surfing on the net and anyone who wants to be inform about Hillary they just have to google it... And all superdelegates knows exactly whats going on, or in a near futur what could happen. They don't want to be in a party with an other disaster.. See what I mean, I bet you understand...

We believe Hillary Clinton is the strongest of the 2 candidates.

She is more experienced, for the people, and a fighter.

Most important, the most experienced.

Hillary 08

I am going to be sick. Let's all thank the political machine and the media for trying to take away our shot at a government for the people, rather than for the corporations.

I am actually going to bother voting this time because there is going to be someone who represented ME on the ticket. Regardless of what Clinton wants us to think, Obama will smash McBush to bits in the GE once the polls are just about the two nominees, rather than the two nominees and the one wannabe.

Also, this is one of the very few times she has polled ahead, and it's bound to change.

Let me just add for the Hillary supporters out there "GO GO GO FIGHTER TOUGH EXPERIENCE GO GO"

When will the Clintons realize that it is not about how much bickering you do, how many negative ads you can put out or how low you can drop against the RNC in the fall – its about whom the Democrats want as their nominee and its about who get the most support, which is clearly Obama for this race.

And if Clinton gets the nomination, forget the general election, the country will enter into a civil war first. Clinton, you still have some time – stop listening to Bill and step down with dignity.

Obama '08

Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton v Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. Clinton Paul vs. ClintonPaul vs. Clinton

Look it up for yourselves

Yeah, why doesn't someone break the Paul vs. Clinton case that's goign on right now and see what schuysters the Clintons really are. How come all we hear about is Rev. Wright. The Clintons have so much baggage, she'd be out of the running if it were all brought up.

It's so sad to see the Hillary fans tearing this party apart.

Obama is going to win here (actually I'd say he already has given 100,000 voters have chosen to vote early), the Republican adds are henous – and Hillary is sounding more and more like them.

HILLARY 2008!

I love how CNN only reports on the annointed one.

HC got 4 supers today too – check tpmelectioncentral.com

Ickes is right!

Obama's momentum did not and does not last forever. Right now, he is falling. PLUS... he is not tough enough and has weaknesses we have no idea where. Rev. Wright won't be shut forever and other issues will come up and be explored by the Republicans.

Hillary is the best choice by far. She is tough, politically experienced... has a big share of the electorate very much secured and will offer very few weak spots for the Republicans.

Obama does not have enough to run on until November. With a meteoric rise, If he did not close the deal so far now that his momentum is cooling down, he won't close it at all. Hillary, on the contrary, is a long distance runner.

I agree RG - we need to use something to stump her "electability" claims. Do other voters know that she will not be deposed until after the election??? Also wasn't her pastor convicted of some sexual misconduct?? Come on...let us do something before the Clinton's walk away with this nomination. Come on Obama superdelegates...let us make a move to nominate the correct candidate whose name is not Clinton or McCain.

Clinton camp is getting desperate. Clinton is doing well in the polls, but the polls getting out know have been taken in the middle of the Wright controversy.

Polls getting out this weekend will include Obamas good response to the Wright-issue, that Obama has the best gas-plan and the backing from Hill and Andrew. Andrew leaving Clinton-camp is a major issue and it is know wonder they called an emergency press-conference. They are desperate and know that the supers don`t fall for their bluff. Clinton is doing well in the polls know, but that will likely change tomorrow and after that, Wright issues is cooling down and the polls will know include Obamas good response. The fact that supers are lining up with Obama and NOT a SINGLE has moved from his camp, proofs that the supers are behind him, they know the wrigt-issue impact is temporarly.

THIS IS TO PEOPLE THAT HATE CNN BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT THEY FAVOR CLINTON.

...GO TO MSNBC, THEY LOOOOOOOOOVE OBAMA................

Grasping at straws now. Stand back. A drowning person will pull down anyone within reach trying to save themselves.

Nice try. But once Obama actually starts to debate McSame one on one, it won't even be close. He's only behind McCain by a couple of points in FLORIDA!!!.... Obama hasn't even campaigned there yet! You really think he can't win when he's only behind by 2 points in a state he's never campaigned in? Keep dreaming Hillary, keep dreaming.

I agree! Why hasn't the news coverage been saying anything?

Why didn't you also mention that 60% of the American people view Senator Clinton as dishonest?

Clinton ahead by 10 points in new Indiana poll! The tide is turning!!!

WE HAVE 50+ STATES NOT 3 STATES, WHAT ABOUT GEORGIA, ILLINOIS,ETC...?
SHE CAN'T WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION, BUT OBAMA CAN

Most adults can listen to something and take away from it what they think is relative and true. But kids are different, they are like sponges and are learning all the time. That is why most kids have the same values as their parents. This and this alone is my problem with Mr. Obama and anyone else that would teach their kids to hate or think that they are owed something for acts that happened before they were born.

Since when did the poll of polls became a determining factor? Obama has been on top for pretty long time.

mr ickes do not know what he is talking about. obama is leading all the way and clinton's superdelegate are switching from her to obama,what does that tell you,except if you want to steal the election.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RG said: "Peter Paul. Why did I have to find this out from some random poster"
____________________________________________________

RG, I've known about this for months and I have told a lot of friends about it. No one can understand why the media has not picked up on this story. Here is the kicker – the Judge presiding over the case is a Clinton supporter who – without asking – ruled that Hillary Clinton doesn't have to testify in the fraud case until after the election. This ruling was made just a week ago (April 25).

Superdelegates will make their choices for support of either candidate but whether it goes in favor of Hillary or Obama, it will do damage to the Democratic Party and could possibly split it. The DNC must include Florida and Michigan to get a clear cut nominee

America is a democratic country. All of its citizens have rights and are free to express their choice in the leadership.

The people of Florida and Michigan have their rights and cannot have these rights taken away from them because of foolishness by their leaders regardless of who is at fault, period

The only way and I mean the only way to resolve the delegate count issue is to have a re-run primary in which Clinton and Obama start off fresh and then the winner and the results will dictate the number of delegates that will be allocated to each candidate. This is a no brainer and simple.

Having this re-run Primary will unify the Democratic Party once again. This is democracy. Despite what Obama says and spins, this is the solution. Now if he objects to this solution, because it is fair to Hillary, Obama and the people, then he is not a true believer in democracy. Obama then simply wants to gain power at the expense of the folks in these two states. Never mind the spin. The people’s right to vote is the only issue that is important

If Obama loses then he loses and if Hillary loses, so be it OBAMA objects, it is only because he believes that he cannot win in these two states but if that is the case he should not be the Nominee.

To me, I think Hillary Clinton really hasn't run that tough a campaign against Obama. If you think about it, she's broadcast very few negative ads. Her critiques have focused primarily on Obama's electability. In fact, most of Obama's problems have come from stories from the press – the Jeremiah Wright controversy and the "bittergate" incidence in San Francisco being two examples. And, of course, Obama keeps losing key primaries, which isn't doing him any favors. Which is why polls are showing he's losing ground.

Bush won the popular vote too? Obama promises change so did Bush? Bush sure did change Washington from bad to worse. Obama is new to Washington so was Bush. Bush seemed like a nice guy, so does Obama...are you getting the picture????

I am with you on this RG....it's such a shame the Peter Paul story and the Clinton's pastor molestation story is being kept under wraps....

I love it, CNN reports this one poll that shows Hillary ahead by 9 points leaving out all of the other polls that show her trailing! And then it's article after article like the Clinton machine has taken CNN hostage. Bottom line I think CNN realizes that this race is over, and if it's over then there's very little or no news to report for the next 4 months until the general elections heat up.

I know I know CNN this will be in the "Your Comment is awaiting Moderation" or outright deleted like all my other comments.

Ickes needs to give it up. He seems as desperate as Hillary. He will say anything and do anything for Hillary to win. He's probably promised 10% of Hillarys campaign contributions is he succeeds

Yeah, use your nasty tricks and scare tactics for the nomination. Go right ahead and see what happens. Remember she needs a certain groups vote as well. And you wonder why to supers are leaning twards Senator O!?!?

She is dishonest and a panderer. Her politics are destroying the Party.

Clinton people are very afraid....TIME'S UP....THE PARTY IS OVER...TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!!!!

What can he say that hasn't been said.The look on Hillariy's face in this picture paints a thousand words.

RG – I have raised the same issue myself – for some reason the media is not talking about this.

Hillary Clinton IS NOT the strongest candidate to beat John McCain in November

HA HA HA!! They are really the most desperate I've ever seen them now. Did you see the last paragraph? Here is the killer:

"In the latest AP-Ipsos poll pitting each Democratic candidate against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, both candidates win a majority"

So even if it was Obama, the results show he would STILL WIN THOSE STATES in NOVEMBER!!!

What a joke all this Clinton Spin is......

Hillary is trying to get Obama beat so she can run again in 2012.

New polls confirm: more Republicans lie in a last-ditch effort to put Hillary on the ticket, not Obama.

Seriously, these are just ridiculous. Obama can still get a lot of the swing states (and presumably more once [if?] Clinton stops all her ridiculous ads), and - something few people are discussing - he can turn many 'red' states - the Carolinas, Colorado, etc. - into new swing states that could go either way. Clinton is stuck hoping and praying the superdels are dumb enough to believe this BS memo.

Obama '08.

Yes she can and she will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, President.

yucky...all the worms from bubbas regime are starting to crawl out from the darkness in hopes that her royal highness can put them back in power.

Huh? Hillary does better among younger voters?

You need to correct this posting CNN- Hillary has never done better than Obama among young voters, and young people will stay at home in November if they feel Hillary unfairly had the nomination handed to her despite not getting as many delegates from the primaries and caucuses.

Don't be fooled. Hillary is slightly ahead in the National polls by virtue of Rev Wrights recent speech and her fear tactic in the recent primaries. How about her threats to Iran? This woman cannot be trusted. She might be worse than Bush. No wonder she backed the war in Iraq.

These polls will drastically change when the Dems pick a nominee. The Dems will then start backing the nominee no matter what and that will put the Dem nominee (whoever it is) way ahead of McCain either way!!

IN THE WORDS OF FELLOW CANADIAN SONGWRITER, GORDON LIGHTFOOT.

So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and I'm caught again!
In the web of wild design,
I do not know what fate is mine!
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!

Apparently, the recent Obama endorsements are coming from delegates that are reading tea leaves. Why else would they support someone who now that the public is getting to know something about his character and core values is shifting to Clinton. If the democrats want to win in November they 1) let the voters in Michigan and Florida be counted and 2) consider who can win the swing and big states. It's nice that Obama won Utah and Idaho, however, those states are not going for a democrat in November.

GO HILLARY 08

"Ickes says relevant results in those categories include Obama’s rising unfavorable ratings"

Of course he doesn't site hers, which I don't think can rise much more as they're already at the top (although not quote as high as Dubya, yet).

Wow. What's next? Begging?

The Clinton camp is clearly delusional!

) This is truly hilarious!

So now the Clintons have changed the rules so that the polls decide who's nominated. They get more and more desparate and ridiculous.

Wow, polls in democratic states.

Does the Hillary campaign really think those states will go (R) in November? Seriously, don't be stupid.

Media,
Keep talking about Rev. Wright and you'll see more Super Delegates flowing to Obama. Watch and see, you don't get it do you.

Polls taken in May that supposedly reflect the outcome of an election in November are a joke. Get back to me on November 1st with some poll numbers.

HILLARY -Do not start whinning.... When Obama was a head in popular vote... and show he had better chance to beat McCain.. No one asked you to quit the race... And then you were asked to quit.. you said NO... Let Obama stay in race until June... Are you scared? He is ahead in pledges delegates, states won... Shame on you triying to change the rule at your BENEFITS ONLY... Enough is Enough..

This switch says more about Clinton than it does Obama. Why are so many of the Clintons' former supporters (Reich, Lewis, Richardson and now Ickes) withdrawing support of Hillary Clinton to now support Obama? Maybe they know something about Hillary we don't know. You Clinton supporters need to think about this.

I'm begging you.....please!!!!!!
what a bunch of hooey. they know they are beat and the only way is an overwhelming superdelegate count and it's just not happening.
on a side note, are we really supposed to believe that DC Madam killed herself....yeah, right!

Just think, after Hillary Clinton loses badly in NC, we won't have to hear anymore about any of this nonsense. Hurrah!

Love this mess the Dems are in!
"Operation Chaos" (Rush Limbaugh) voter

Please...I thought polls didnt count for the Clinton campain. As long as it favors them, they are for it. This only happens because of Rev Wright issue. In a few months everyone will rally behind O8ama.

If she's that strong why she's enable to beat Obama in first .

Now it's begging time... its over... let it go!

Me thinks they doth protest toooooo much. Of course her paid advisor would pitch this crap to the super delegates.

Bottom line.. McCain will be the next president. If Obama wins the nomination the real race card will be played. The people who are uncomfortable voting for a black person will flock to the conservative side regardless of the agenda and what it will do to our country in the next 4 years. Get ready for 4 more years of Bush!!!

. . . THE SUPERDELEGATES DON'T RELY ON FOX(FAUX) NEWS POLLS.

Obama 08.

I don't know where people are getting their numbers, but lets see how April's donations are going, then we will see who is still running strong in the race. Has Hillary paid her past debts???? I think the people that are loyal to the democratic party know Obama is the only way to go. Hillary has discussed several groups of people and she is rattling off promises she can't keep.

Look no matter how many super delegates support Obama, Hillary will take this to the convention just to spite Obama, she does not care about the party at all. She cares nothing for the country, she only cares about her own personal goal of becoming President and as we see it she will do it at any cost. Why can't she admit that she has lost, does she not want to admit that she lost to an African-American. If she really cared about the party she would just bow out now. Forget the polls, what do the delegates say. Obama has more delegated, won more primaries and caucuses.......what else can she do to tanrnish this man, she has done every thing she can to discredit him, blast his lack of experience, she tried the muslim thing with the picture, she got over on the Rev. Wright, but people are now saying that this is Wright thing is played out and Wright does not speak for Obama.....and it looks like it sort of "backfired"......and one of her campaign fund raisers has left to work for Obama due to too much negativity. Why can't she admit that the avalanche of the Obama movement has crushed her.

Obama 2009-2016

I think it is funny that the both would best McCain in these swing states, but CNN mentions nothing about the states Obama would swing over to the Dem party such as Colorado, VA, and even North Carolina to name a few... Go ahead an spew your spin Clinton, but the superdelegates are choosing and most in favor of Obama. I hope the Supers aren't tricked into this by a manipulative pitch. Once it is Obama and McCain, I think it is will be much different.

I somehow think the superdelegates don't care what the polls say. It seems they are more interested in making informed decisions rather than just "going with the flow".

The Republican Party is battling Obama in North Carolina with ads. This means that Obama is fighting both the Repubs and Clinton in NC and elsewhere. The Repubs are so scared of Obama. Democrats should not act stupid but end this mad nomination process by voting for Obama. Obama is the UNITER!

Wow...they're really scared, aren't they?

People check this out. for every negative thing that is said about Obama, he picks up another Super delegate. Keep the negativity coming, we have this thing over by June.

Good stratigy but it wont work.

more tougher to beat!? ha ha yea right, those 'BIG STATES' will still vote for obama. they dont want another republican in the white house. just because of winning those states doesnt make a person more electable

Seems a lil desperate to me....These polls go back and forth all the time!! Supporters of HRC calm down...she can not will not, win the nomination. Obama will be the nominee and become the president and take this nation on a new and beautiful, prosperus nation! HRC will have us speaking Chinese!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

Do the democrats really want to win. You can run for office and not completely try and destroy the other candidate. the reality is I don't think all of the Democrats are suddenly go against everything they believe and stand for because their initial candidate didn't get the nomination. So the Clinton campaign stop with all of the scare tactics. It is just not necessary.

I'm not a Democrat...I'm a Republican – and I support Obama....and have donated...and will vote for him....I can't undestand how people can say "I will vote for either Obama or Hillary" – they are polar opposites....one values the truth...the other....well...not so much

To Harold Ickes.....the operative word in the latest AP-Ipsos poll is both candidates win a majority

i.e. The would both beat McCain, and the ONLY reason Hillary polls better right now is because the "snapshot in time" or the polls at the moment are favoring her due to the Wright issue....in six months the polls will be different. That is..they will be different because Obama will have pulled the party back together...(it will be easier if Clinton helps but I don't expect such loyalty from your candidate).

I am SICK of your candidate and you Mr Ickes..I'm sick of her supporters. I have changed my affiliation to Independant SPECIFICALLY because of your candidate's and her husband's actions. I will NOT support her in the general and neither will the large majority of those new, disillusioned, first time voters that are inspired by Barack Obama and the notion (hope) of no politics as usual...in short Mr. Ickes...IT'S UP TO YOU IF THE DEMS WIN IN NOVEMBER....PLEASE SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA.

Who cares what a poll says which is a sample of the population that prnanly represents .01% of the states population. If she cannot beat Obama in a head to head contest, what makes her supporters beleive that she will fare any better against anyone else.

Someone make sense of that for me.........this is a long stretch for Clinton to try and win over some super delegates but these are not your ordinary people that you can pull the wool over someones eyes.

Obama has generated teh surge of new voters, not Clinton! He has the young voters support and he may talk about her eating away at this base bt the same goes for her as well as he is beginning to eat away at her base with the seniors and white collar america.

Sad last ditch attempt to stay in the race. Once you have Nafta, Columbia trade agreements and a fantasy of a suspension of a gas tax looming over your head, how the hell can anyone trust her.

Be careful, she may wage sniper fire on the Super Delegates (Sniper Fire = a Big Hug!)

I thought polls didnt matter.......Can she not get her story straight

Polls change all the time. What people think now is not necessarily what people will be thinking in November. In the last election Kerry was beating Bush in Summer but in November Bush won. Anyway I would never want to see the despicable lying Clintons back in the White House. I will take Barack Obama or McCain but NEVER the immoral Clintons.

Wow, thank god this election uses other metrics besides polls. Like states won, delegates, and popular vote. Obama leads in all three.

Obama's getting hit hard by Clinton (who's fueliing the Wright story), McCain, and the media (who aren't interested in change or the will of the american people), and he's still the frontrunner.

OBAMA, 2008, because We NEED Change. No more Clintons, Bushes, Mcbush, no more politics as usual.

Where did we get those polls?....Fox News and Survey USA.....both involved business wise with Bill Clinton. Tainted at best.

Let the people vote....................period

And more blah, blah, blah!!!

sounds untrue

Even the picture of her in this caption looks desparate.

That's right, Hillary. As you said: delegates are free to decide whom to vote for And now, when they are making their choice – WHAT IS IT, YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH?

So why did former Clinton backer Joe Andrew switch to Obama then? The nominee will be chosen based on the primaries/caucuses and the votes of the superdelegates, and not based on polls which in most cases are statistically irrelevant.

Obama '08

Now all of a sudden polls count?????

These people cannot makle up their minds! Sheesh!

Go Barack!

Hillary is a liar and my 7 year old son could beat McCain...

This is a bunch of bull. She is behind in every category and just because you choose to take a point in time where she looks good in the popular vote is totally out of touch.

Obama 08

This chic will say anything. Let me spell it out for you: P.a.t.h.e.t.i.c.

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!

While Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Al Gore, Ed Rendell, Barabara Streisand, Cher, Stan Lee, Brad Pitt, Mike Wallace, Larry King et al may be called to testify and be deposed starting in May, Hillary alone has been protected from explaining her role in her husband’s fraud charges.

In an astonishing ruling by the Judge, Hillary Clinton may NOT be deposed about her role in the illegal solicitation and cover up of the largest contribution made to her Senate campaign until after the presidential election. This is the same contribution Hillary denied knowing about or receiving when Lloyd Grove of the Washington Post asked her specifically about it and her relationship with the donor, Peter Paul, in August 2000. Its the same contribution her finance director David Rosen was criminally tried in May, 2005, or hiding from her and her campaign. Its the same contribution the FEC fined her campaign for hiding from the voters in three false FEC reports by her treasurer between 2000-2006. (www.paulvclinton.com)

Equally surprising as the ruling was the judge’s request to Hillary defense lawyer David Kendall to “say hello to his ( Judge Munoz”) friend Bill, also a partner in Kendall’s law firm”
The decision to shield Hillary Clinton from civil discovery for an additional seven months, thereby delaying a long postponed trial, was made by the judge on his own, without any request by Hillary or her lawyer to make the ruling. No discussion was permitted by Paul’s lawyer before the decision was made. Judge Munoz’ unilateral decision effectively saved the floundering campaign and hopes of Hillary Clinton to win her party’s Presidential nomination!

Had Senator Clinton be forced to testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably destroyed.

Hillary has never publicly commented on the case in which she was a defendant from 2003-2006. Nor has Hillary ever commented on the videotaped phone call she made to Peter Paul the day he began spending more than $1 million for her Senate campaign, the false statements she made through Howard Wolfson to the Washington Post denying working with Paul or receiving any contributions from him, the sworn Declaration she made under oath where she refused to deny any of Paul’s allegations, the role her White House aide Kelly Craighead played in coordinating Paul’s expenditures and befirending Paul’s Japanese business partner during a White House visit and many other unanswered questions of illegal conduct.

The illegalities detailed in Paul’s civil complaint and FEC complaint caused Hillary’s finance director to be criminally indicted and tried in 2005 by the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity (the same group that prosecuted Scooter Libby) for hiding the cost of a fundraiser paid for by Paul. Paul’s FEC allegations forced Hillary’s campaign to admit to the FEC in October, 2005, that it violated FEC reporting requirements by hiding more than $700,000 received from Paul that Hillary personally said she never received.

This senior Clinton adviser Harold Ickes need to wake up and smell the coffee and see the clear of day. Sen. Clinton hasn't a chance to overtake Sen. Obama's delegate lead unless she is figuring on winning all of the remaining States by at least 65%. If she can honestly say that she can pull this off then I will say make your best attempt. Otherwise, she needs to do as Howard Dean asked and drop out of the race in June.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

It's a compelling argument. Add to that the fact she will have the majority of the popular vote and it becomes more compelling. She is peaking at the right time. She is sprinting to the finish, Obama is stumbling and in need of life support.

Unfortunately, the base of the argument is heavily relying on a set of flawed polls.

Why the hurry now to recognise polls? lol!

Did you check last week? Wait till next week and talk again. You doctored Wright controversy anu want to cash in on the dividends.

Sorry, it is ephemeral and elctorates have already gotten he clear picture now. it is so insignificant in the face of Clinton corruption.

So watch out for next weeks polls.

a quote from Robert Shapiro, formerly the undersecretary of commerce in the Clinton administration and the author of "Futurecast." An independent voice with ties to the former first lady, however, did not give the expected results. "Stated as clearly as I can," he wrote, "it's utterly misguided both environmentally and economically. Environmentally, it does actual harm, since it reduces the price of producing greenhouse gases. And economically it's trivial or worse - by reducing the price of driving it encourages more of it, thereby increasing demand for gasoline, which inevitably pushes the price back up – the consumer gains nothing, and the oil companies and OPEC collect the extra bucks instead of the government."

Neither Hillary nor Obama can be successful as president because you still have a Senate that will stop everything the liberal president tries to do... You can't change the states' voting patterns.

Well she already lost my vote

I'm sorry she's not. The superdelegates are doing the right thing. Obama is good for the country.
Moses, Ca.

Their trying to stop the leak. Obama still leads in delegates, states, adn popular vote..that tells you who is more electable.

Peter Paul.
Why did I have to find this out from some random poster who led me to look it up on YouTube, and then watch in amazement at the news of something I'd never heard of? Look for yourself if you haven't....
Did they include that part in the letter? Has the media been served a gag on this story? This is an industry that will put the microscope under anybody's life on just an accusation, and yet little to nothing about the Paul v. Clinton civil case that's going on right now.

Hillary is not fit for the Presidency. She has said she would obliterate Iran, prompting a formal compaint to the United Nations about her statement. She said 'screw em' in reference to Southern Americans. Why is this news not front page, media has given more attention to heresay and gossip than to actual facts.

I am begining to feel completely propagandized by Hillary's campaign.

More and more, t has the feel of the bush propaganda machine.

astonishing spin, half truths, full lies, fear, both covert and overt racism, the fabrication of issues.....

does this sound familiar ?????.

They're going for Obama because he represents unity and change. Clinton represents "taking back the white house by force."

That won't work. The super delegates know. The polls are misleading...without all the distractions being caused by issues that have no value (Wright, Ayers, "bitter" people, etc.), the polls would be different.

The superdelegates aren't distracted by these things. They know which way to go.

HRC is going through a civil suit on may counts of fraud. HRC is a part of the special interest system that condones lobbying for legislation; she's a part of the problem. The Clintons picked up over 100 million dollars after leaving the White House; they'll do anything to get back in the White House

Yeah that is exactly what two thirds who have endorsed Obama means. Two thirds for Obama means that S.D.'s don't think he can beat McCain. HAHAHAHAHA. Clinton's staff is drawing at straws. She needs to drop out!!!

Ok – they're trusting the polls that shift like the wind? And vary from 5-10 points?? How much is he getting paid for that??

Did old girl's campaign say that they "don't pay much attentio to polls. so why are they pointing to the latest. just like they don't pay much attention to reality. get out now billary!

Getting a little desperate there, eh Ickes?

I agree. Vote For Hillary. She is ahead in just about every new poll coming out. Obama can not win now. WAKE UP!

If Obama is the Nominee, we will loose

Word on the street here in DC is that a very large contingent of uncommitted superdelegates have already decided to go with Obama. This daily trickling of superdelegates throwing their support behind Obama is part of a plan to end the nomination next Tuesday.

More are going to commit each day, then Monday or early Tuesday, a substantial number will make their announcement supporting Obama all at once.

Rumor is that the majority of the remaining superdelegates are involved. We'll see next week.
