Expect more superdelegates to come.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Get ready for a deluge of new superdelegates.

All superdelegates -– elected officials and Democratic National Committee members -– are not bound by their states’ results, and can vote for the candidate they choose. Both candidates are fighting just as hard for their support as they are for the votes of the people in the upcoming primary states.

But some superdelegates are unpledged add-ons — individuals selected by each state’s Democratic Party. They are elected at state party conventions, executive committee meetings or delegate meetings, depending on the state. A wave of those events are scheduled for the next few weeks, as states finalize their delegate slates.

Unpledged add-ons can be called superdelegates because they both have the same voting rights — the only difference is that superdelegates are selected before the primaries and caucuses, while unpledged add-ons are selected after the state has voted.

Some of these add-ons pledged their support for candidates before they were elected. Of those elected so far, Obama has officially earned six unpledged add-on votes, while Clinton has earned seven.

In total, there will be 76 unpledged add-on delegates. CNN is keeping track of these delegates, but will only add them to the official delegate after they are officially elected at their states’ meetings. As of today, 13 states have chosen their unpledged add-ons, with the results of today’s Maryland selection still pending.

aron.oh my god i just read the paul vs clinton on google and i agree please flood every blog on the news net people need to know this information.on the fraud case by hillary and bill clinton.

vince nc   May 1st, 2008 7:45 pm ET

The delegates/super delegates will do what is right to pick the best candidate to beat john McCain in the general election in nov. however hillary should be that choice because obama will face another round of problems from Rev. Wright and the republican party will use this harshly against him. the relationship of spiritual adv./mentor for 20 yrs dont end over night because he decided to denounce and dis own his former pastor . hillary has continued to focus on the issues that the american people are faced with the economy healthcare and jobs .

vote counts????????
lets hear abount paul v clinton

Vig   May 1st, 2008 7:41 pm ET

If you want to see another 4 years of Republican rule, then a superdelegate should vote for Obama. There is no way Obama will win the general election. That's the bottom line. You may be head over heels with Mr. Congeniality, but that doesn't mean squat.

I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT ONE OF THE SPIRITUAL ADVISORS TO PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON DURING THE MONICA LEWINSKY INCIDENT WAS THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT. MOST RECENTLY THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING REVEREND WRIGHT TO ADDRESS THE NATIONAL PRESS CONFERENCE ON MONDAY WAS A STAFF MEMBER OF THE HILLIARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN. I FIND THIS TO BE SUSPECT. MAYBE IT'S A COINCIDENCE BUT IN THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET, CHARLES BARKLEY "I MAY BE WRONG BUT I DOUBT IT".

GO MADAM PRESIDENT GO HILLARY !

Esoxslayer   May 1st, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Nobody is even bringing up the Hillary negatives: Whitewater, support of Palestine Liberation Organization, Peter Paul fraud, NAFTA and IRAQ supporter, etcetera, etcetera. All you hear is "Rev. Wright, Rev. Wright", because that is the only negative of any kind that they can come up with. Obama supported STEELWORKERS, for years and years, long before Hillarious became the "blue collar" support leader the media portends.

Her story on the Magnaquench jobs lost to the Chinese, from the company's sight in Valparaiso, Indiana, was laughable. It was Bill Clinton and his cabinet that pushed that through, in 1995. Oh, that is the same Bill Clinton that put a Chinese National at the White Houses' highest security clearance, receiving 29 CIA reports. I guess we won't see that commercial any more. LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, FLIP-FLOP, LIAR…

Karena   May 1st, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Reading some of these comments , I wonder if some of you are old enough to vote.
It is like the dog with an old bone in his mouth , even if it kills him he won't let go.
How about discussing the issues in a civil manner but most of all get better informed first .

Valerie Moss- Obama said in his address to the rally in Bloomintgon Indiana last evening that he will 100% be ssujpporting Hillary if she is the nominee. Get your facts straight.

DAN   May 1st, 2008 7:28 pm ET

The will of the people is Hillary. Will the elitist democrats be patronizing and loose another election in Nov. How can people like Obama and Dean who want to disenfranchise peoples vote call themselves democrats when they are in fact opressors. New gallup poll has Hillary at 49% and growing. She's exactly what the country needs. Health care for everybody jobs green jobs jobs, plans to stop forclosures. cheaper energy. prosperity for everybody. Vote Hillary

Chuck in Alabama   May 1st, 2008 7:24 pm ET

OOOOooooooo!!!! Look!!! Sparkly!!!!!

Tania   May 1st, 2008 7:20 pm ET

If there is a loser already , it is the leadership of the Democratic Party .
One really has to question their credibility and sanity.
Instead of allowing a democratic process take it's due course and allow the voter to decide , they have constantly interfered and tried to sway the election.
Endorsements , super delegates and caucuses seem to be a side show and demeans the seriousness what an election is all about.
One vote per person and make it count.

CA Native   May 1st, 2008 7:20 pm ET

PLEASE!!! Nominate Obama!!!

Us conservatives want the easiest road to victory. An inexperienced 1-term senator who can't control the hate-spewing pastor/mentor thinks he can convince America HE is tough enough to take on REAL American enemies???

LOL….

Yeah - go on super delegates - vote for Obambi and HAND the Presidency over to McCain.

What kind of over-regulated nonsense is this???

add on delegates?
superdelegates?

Wayne   May 1st, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Are you all aware that Barack Obama will only need about 80 more superdelegates to win, even if he loses Indiana and the remaining states? Hillary would need about 3 times that amount. Some of Hillary's Superdelegates are now switching to Barack Obama. For every one she loses, she has to gain 2 to be back where she started. Even the Superdelegate that recently introduce her at a rally last Friday has now endorsed Barack. When will she and her supporters realize that she is only prolonging this Primary. I am now convinced that she does not care about how much damage HER OWN Political Party has endured because of her own tactics.

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08

Bayou Joe   May 1st, 2008 7:18 pm ET

You mean Hillary still has a chance? Or maybe someone else besides these two losers. Happend before so don't count this out.
Hillary and Obama can be left out in the cold.
Maybe that is why Edwards remains uncommitted. or even Al Gore.

Boy the dems are all *****UPED.

They shot themselves in the foot again. Thank you Howard Dean and the DNC.

R2   May 1st, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Hillary: I will obliterate Iran.
McCain: I will stay in Iraq for 100 years and bomb Iran.

You decide '08

jp/michigan   May 1st, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Obama will be the death of the Democratic Party. More Democrats will leave if he is nominated, and for sure a Republican will be in the White House , once again.

Democrat   May 1st, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Obama supporters if I were you I'd hold on to my shirt before starting another negative campaign. Hillary has a HUGE HUGE story about Barrack that she is sitting on in the event that something else comes up. Goergen said Hillary should keep it quiet. And she has. But look out Barrack. Your supporters may really do you in and quite frankly I can hardly wait!! The reason so many Hillary supporters won't vote for Obama is because of their below the belt shots. And this recent attempt is just waiting for a counter attack.

A.M.   May 1st, 2008 7:15 pm ET

I feel that now superdelegate's band wagon will join 'Obama' immediately after May 6, 2008 primaries of "Indiana' and North Carolina'.

And the 'Democratic' party will be joined as one big block' against republicans come November; NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT…..DO YOU HEAR DEMOCRATS…WE HAVE TO BE UNITED VERY SOON.

You look really stupid for doing this.

Now who is negative.

Go Hillary…a former Obama supporter.

kayla   May 1st, 2008 7:04 pm ET

TO ALL SUPER DELAGATES, PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CLINTON'S OR MR ICKES. TO VOTE FOR HILLARY. THE ONLY REASON THE REPUBLICANS' VOTED FOR HER IN PENSILVANIA AND OTHER STATES IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT OBAMA CAN BEAT MCSAME HANDS DOWN. COME NOVEMBER THOSE SAME REPUBLICAN WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER!

We are backing OBAMA in NC — Hillary is not winning this state!—-He is the wave of the future. racist ways. Look at what he stands for. He is a man that can address the US and say I made a mistake about Rev Wright.

Clinton/McCain has told so many lies and the media is not on her or him.

After all of this negative stuff Obama is still standing tall. He is the next president. All Americans feel it's time for Hillary to give it up. She is DESTROYING our party. BACK DOWN HILIARY

Liz/New York   May 1st, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Let's stop the nonsense.
Obama is the only who can unite this coutry. He also has enough guts to tell the American people that "the summer break on gas tax" is not helpful, and just a political gimmick!
He is the only one that speaks the truth.
Go Sen Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its your candidate thats been responsible for this. Which election have you been watching? Oh and you cant believe a word rove says he's one of the most evil political minds in quite a number of years. As a life long democrat, you should know this.

kenny   May 1st, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Hey Superdelegates,
We really have to accept the fact that Obama will never ever win in November. He can't even win those important Big States. So why bother, its either Go with Hillary, because even though we feel that sometimes they want the power back,lets admit to ourselves that she can really help our economy or…… we are voting for McCain. You be the judge, and we will prove it to you on November.

Thank you and God Bless America!!!!

Nunya   May 1st, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Can it with the posting Clinton dirt on every possible blog. Stay on topic and stop being obsessed by one particular side theater. The comments are irrelevant to most of the stories where you're posting them and do nothing but make people think that Obama supporters are jerks. You aren't doing your candidate any good by such behavior.

Sylvia   May 1st, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Superdelegates:

Trials and tribulations builds character. I believe Mr. Obama is a man of great character. How well he has handled the negative bashing from not only his opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, but also, her husband Bill Clinton, John McCain, Rev. Wright controversy, and the media only tells me Mr. Obama has the inner strength to deal with anything.

I asked for your support for Mr. Obama because I truly believe that he is the only candidate that can bring our country our of the mess we are in. He speaks the truth, good judement, intelligent, and character.
Thank you.

t   May 1st, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Valerie Moss,
You are hortifcally distorting the truth. Michelle said that she wasnt sure whether or not she would actively campaign for her. And Obama HAS said he would support her. Its hillary I would be afraid of not supporting Obama. I mean shes already incinuated Mccain is better than Obama. Clitnon supporters, stop the BS.

you know she worked as a lawyer for communists right? Might wanna rethink your comment.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Hillary and Bill are the world's biggest scam artists and we want "them" to run our Country.
During her last debate with Obama that she set up, she made a big
huge mistake saying that she would consider OBLIBERATING IRAN!!!. Do you say something like that on National T.V. and then claim you won the debate?
And, to please Americans for their vote, say that there will be a
"temporary reduction" in gas prices. Bloomberg said that was the
dumbest thing he ever heard. This reduction would take away the
money to be used in fixing our crumbling infastructure!!! Yes, Hillary,
in Minnesota, people were driving off into the sunset into Lake Superior, plundging to their deaths!!!!
You, Hillary, are a total idiot that will do or say anything to get a vote
and promise Rendall,probably Edwards and whoever a job. Two of the biggest supposed criminals in the world not to mention scam
artists and liars. We really want another run of that???? Please No.

georgia   May 1st, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Down with selective scrutiny.!!!
Push for the truth on the Paul vs Clinton:LARGEST CAMPAIGN SCANDAL OF THE MILLEnIUM. They don't want it out but it's coming .
Neither of those 2 should be anywhere near public office again . Let the truth be told ,but then neither Clinton know what that looks or sounds like. They even lie to one another .Sad ,Sad ,Sad .Shame on you both Billary !!

JA   May 1st, 2008 6:49 pm ET

From Australia it looks pretty bad for the Democrats. Both Obama and Clinton are unelectable. Obama will be President but he will have to wait until 2012.

The process for electing the presidential nominee should be changed by the DNC. This is ridiculous. Obama and his staff have divided the party by making race an issue. It is definately more of an issue with blacks than with whites! He is causing the split in the party, and Hillary should not be made to pay for his actions. She needs to keep campaigning until delegates vote on the convention floor. Hillary '08!

M. Kelly   May 1st, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Hmmm, hopefully Obama has run out of positions to promise more superdelegates . . . all these superdelegates would luv for the 'inexperienced' guy to win - easier to walk over . . . Clinton would never let anyone walk all over her and wouldn't take 20 years to figure something out!

This morning in Indiana she was goldilocks.
Now in Kentucky she is a "filly".
Well she's not getting ahead of me…

Sante   May 1st, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Fox, please outline me 10 thinks that make Obama ready to be Commander in chief.
I will tell you 10 thinks that he is HOT ready:
- Mysterious relationship with mysterious people
- He is a snob ,arrogant with people that he does not depend on, manipulates those that he needs; behind there back he is sarcastic!
-for the last 10-15 years what he has not done very much as a Community organiser, Senator in Chicago or more so senator of USA?
/my answer would be :running for offices; professional runner/
- credibility issues : big time, /many things that have been sad by him / but 1/2 of the Democrats do not accnolige it for different reasons; one of them is relating to hating Clintons .
- luck of experience: he will experiment with this country and the world: dangerous ambition
- chameleon , very , very good at it.
- he started to attack FIRST Hillary Clinton; during the debates still with Eduards and Richardson. I have a copy! The explanation was : she is a front runner!!?? Isn't it now opposite?
- his campaign uses many hidden tactics, he supposed to be "different"
-Very left - I call it SOCIALISM / NARCISSISM.
-Bad debater,;and he supposed to negotiate with world anti American leaders?

Hillary is a B… , but I am not planning to marry her, I need she to do job for me and my family!!!

Stephanie Hussein Worchowski   May 1st, 2008 6:40 pm ET

The RepubliCONS want Hillary so bad! WHY….because they know they can and will kick her ever loving behind in the G.E. Why do you think they keep drudging up the Rev Wright issue yet concealing this huge Paul vs Clinton litigation.

The RepubliCONS fear Obama…..WHY, because he stands for something when all others fall for anything.

RG   May 1st, 2008 6:40 pm ET

A serial liar and a con man?
No wonder he contributed over a million to the Clintons, birds of a feather…

Vote with your state!   May 1st, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Hey, all you Hillary supporters: Do you still think that superdelegates should go with who their state supported?

If there are 76 of these of these "Ad-On" delegates, that's about 1.5 per state. By my count Obama has won 30 states to Hilary's 15.

That would give Obama about 45 to Hilary's 23, for the states that have voted - for a net gain of +22 for Obama.

John, Miss   May 1st, 2008 6:37 pm ET

I love watching the Clinton Crybabies yap on these blogs (Obama in unelectable, Obama drop out, Obama is finished now) like it makes a difference - completely ignoring the fact the people chose him as their candidate, not her. Clinton continues to lose and will not win the nomination. 56% of the country thinks she's a liar, and you say OBAMA can't win? You're delusional. Yeah go ahead, vote for McCain - you'll have shown us when Roe v Wade gets overturned and 3 conversative judges get appointed to the Supreme Court. Good plan, morons.

Lonnie just telling the truth   May 1st, 2008 6:37 pm ET

The truth of the matter is that this race for all intended purposes will be over come May 6th after Obama shows off his staying power. Everyone knows she cannot and will not catch him and won't close the gap either. If she were black Wolf Blitzer and Lou Dobbs would be belittling her at every turn. And look at her gun slinger attitude with all the over the top tough talk. I told you all that she'd blow it all up just to prove she has the nerve to do it. No more Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. Time for a change. Obama '08/12

Ann Aloha FariMedia, PA   May 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

This is stupid and It amazes me that CNN allows posters who post only lies.

looking republican   May 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

The new face of the democratic party is looking very much like the old republican party.

Republicans got sick of their own party and came over to ours.

With them came the same old despicable swiftboat tactics of the republicans.

That WILL change the democratic party and totally sink it.

BE afraid.

RB   May 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Superdelegates better watch out for their support of Hillary Clinton and her possible felony crimes (Paul v Clinton). The republicans will definitely report on this if she gets the nomination. Surely, you know they will link her to EVERY democrat up for re-election. She's damaged goods. Cut our losses now!

As his followers   May 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

You only need to look at the hateful Obama supporters to see what sort of individual Obama attracts.

Just like his pastor Wright.

I do not even want to belong to the new democratic party which is as ugly as the OLD republican party used to be.

Oh, right- many of the old republicans have switched to the democratic party over the past 8 years, bringing their politics of hate with them and are now ready to ruin the democratic party as well.

We get what we deserve.

Winner take all primaries
All primaries within 1 month.

Then count ALL the votes.

Too simple?

Lorna, NY   May 1st, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Sharon Minnesota   May 1st, 2008 6:10 pm ET

The DNC should nominate the current choice of the American people. The polls are showing Clinton in the lead over McCain with Obama trailing her. Let's not give in to the ultra liberal wing of the democratic party just to salve the feelings of one group of people.

I'm hoping that Obama can put aside his ego and talk some sense into his supporters. We do not need protests and riots in the streets as someone on CNN news has suggested would happen. It's time to be adults and stop the tantrums.

We need a democrat in the White House and Clinton is the only one who can beat John McCain.

Please use your good judgement when choosing.

Come on Superdelegates, support Obama!!!!

Jay   May 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Peter Paul is a professional liar who has four separate criminal convictions, two for fraud. His video repackages a series of seven-year-old false claims about Senator Clinton that have already been rejected by the California state courts, the Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee

FL Dem   May 1st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

I never even heard of Paul v Clinton and I halfway pay attention to the election. Imagine the thousands of other voters…..

It wasn't even on the NPR website earlier today. If the media doesn't inform us what's going on, where do we turn for information????

ANTI CLINTONS   May 1st, 2008 6:06 pm ET

They will all vote for Obama, CLinton is out of here!

Voter   May 1st, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Hey you fools:

Hillary has been dismissed from the Peter Paul case. Get your facts straight! Why don't you actually READ one of the articles about the case. The man is a fraud who has tried to tie Bill and Hillary to his fradulant ways, but the judge saw absolutely no link and deemed Hillary's behavior as perfectly legal.

Stop making things up. Can't your candidate win without his croonies reporting false information?

R2   May 1st, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Hillary's Paul Vs. Clinton hearing is in November and just imagine the debacle the party will face if she is convicted for 5 years in prison after being elected President. Are the Clintons begging for Shame and impeachment? Whats wrong with them? Clinton should step down now and go pester Chelsea to have kids.

Jay   May 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Anon..Just like all of the other Peter Pauls cases that have been thrown out because there is no evidence, so will this one!

Maybe CNN should talk about Larry Sinclair!!!

Kaylee   May 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Hillary cannot win!!
Just look at what kind of campaign she has run. She has had so much support and so many resources and yet a disaster.

Vote Obama….Stop helping Republicans.

Fred-Boston   May 1st, 2008 6:03 pm ET

The add on or super-delegates must take this nomination away from Obama starting now. It may not be fair to him but it must be done. He is unelectable. They keep seeing the finish line at 2025 delegates without Fla. and Michagan. The party needs to move the finish line,therby changing the percentages so Hillary has time to catch up.
First as a group every democrat should insist Fla. and Michagan be seated. We can argue that it is on principal, which does have some truth to it. This will cut down on the big lead he got before everyone knew the truth.
Then in 3 months-at the convention they can vote for Hillary after she has closed this phoney caucus lead even more. By doing this in 2 steps over several months it will "sanitize" this unseamly act that needs to be done. Obama has played by the rules but screw him.
Obama will cost us the election! He will get the nomination unless we can get Fla. and Michagan in play now!

fred   May 1st, 2008 6:03 pm ET

You Obama nuts are a wacky as Obama, his wife and pastor!!!

Jay   May 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Now lets talk about Larry Sinclair!

New Democrat   May 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter, BUT I will vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination FAIRLY. If either Obama or Hillary win the nomination by virtue of an un-fair process with the superdelegates overturning the will of the people then I will change my registration and will no longer be a democrat nor will I vote in the general election. This is not a threat but simply a statement of fact. I will not belong to a political party that would do something so un-democratic!

SophieL   May 1st, 2008 6:01 pm ET

The most obvious reason that CNN hasn't reported on Paul v. Clinton is because it's a non-event. several courts have thrown out the case. Paul need his 15 minutes, I guess. Look it up in Wikipedia for cryin' out loud. AND STOP TROLLING. Obama supporters crying to "move forward with the issues" yet stuck on this non-event. Get a life.

Is the media ignoring this? CNN, what's the problem? At least post this one…

Los Angeles Judge Saves Hillary's Presidential Bid

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!

jay, ny   May 1st, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Can we stop all this Peter Paul vs Clinton crap. I've read the case and couldn't care less about it. Perhaps the reason no one is reporting it is because its a civil suit and they decided not to persue felony charges because it is a non issue. Maybe the reason Obama is losing support is because we are sick and tired of hearing all of his obnoxious supporters crucifying the only viable candidate in the most degrading terms. Stop whining and maybe Obama will actually start winning. Hope and change blah blah…why don't you hope you can win…there is something to hope for.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   May 1st, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Well, Super Duper Delegates, does the fact that all Hillary's so called
friends are leaving her side, with the exception of those that have been
offered jobs, Like Rendall, the Sec. of Energy job. And, possibly and
most likely Edwards, the Vice Pres. That is the way the Clinton's work,
so why not. Go figure why Edwards has been holding back and testing
the waters as to how Americans would feel about him if he chooses
Hillary and Bill, the worlds greatest scam artists. A friend of Edwards,
delegate in N.C. endorsed Hillary today. Wonder if Edwards had a tat
to do with that one. You watch, Edwards has been for Hillary all along.
That means he is no better than the Clinton's. Scam artists.

John, NC   May 1st, 2008 5:50 pm ET

McShane, what Hillary said about white Southern's isn't on the news because Barack didn't say it. Corporate media has been protecting Hillary from herself probably wanting to see her get creamed by the Repulicans in the general. If she thinks that FOX will be her best friend like they are now if she wins the nod, she is living in a fairly tale. People keep saying, she is a fighter, she will win. Well we will just see about that wont we!

The Clintons are career criminals and always have been, half of American's have been so blinded by their bigotry and hatred of the black man, that they have been denying themselves of the truth!

Ms. Brown   May 1st, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Hey Clinton supporters… I bet you didn't know this…

FROM THE WORDS OF MICHAEL MOORE:

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

karen from va   May 1st, 2008 5:48 pm ET

I asked CNN months ago to report on Paul v Clinton. I believe that Hillary has already paid a $35,000 fine to the FEC (small change) but they are facing a civil suit now. The FEC fine was a slap on the hand. Criminals who violate these laws need to face stiffer penalties, even if they are named after Sir Edmund Hillary (not! she made that one up too!)

Mike   May 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

For Christ sake, give it a rest already!

How about we round up ALL the Clinton supporters, flock to the book stores and read NObamas books.

Then, we can really understand the EVIL behind the mask!

Go Hillary!!!!

Jessica   May 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Barack is like the little engine that could. In the face of smear tactics and distractions, he gets to the core issue, discusses it openly and moves on. He never claims to be perfect, and has no fear of apologies when appropriate. I wish the media would get a clue, and stop trying to distract us from core issues. The media is creating the monster we see in Rev. Wright. It has been seen analyzed and dissected already, isn't there anything more interesting in this country? Of course he's going to fan the flames at his next opportunity, the question is whether you guys are going to kill the best campaign in decades and let this nut influence the election so profoundly. Stop creating the news, and just report it already!

Peter from Oregon   May 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

I miss the logic being used by the Hillary camp while posting, "She is the only one that is electable?"

I think the voters are speaking about who is more electable by who is ahead in both popular vote, delegates and national polls against McCain.

It's Obama. Please look at the facts and quit the fantasy.

True Anon,
The Republicans will sink Hilary with the Peter Paul case that the media is refusing to cover. I know about Rev. Wrigth…when will the press tell me about Peter Paul??? When will they tell us more about McCain's pastor and his controversial remarks against Catholics??? maybe after August, maybe never…

By keeping those issues mute, the press is only vindicating black people like Pastor Wright and Minister Farrakhan who want all blacks behind them in a racially divided America, blaming whites for their problems, as they convince their black followers that the White man is evil and out to get them . People like Rev. Wright thrived under the Jim Crow Laws because they had a following and they hate inspirational and young black men like Obama who are not racist because he threatens their power in black society and Church if he is elected. When one changes his/her vote from Obama to Clinton because of this "Pastor", then the Reverend Wright and the likes win the debate and a racially divided America shall prevail and will continue well into the 21st century…

We have a biased and irresponsible media in this country that will not open our eyes and it's sad…

Senator Obama on T-O-D-A-Y this morning…..

Obama's response today to being called "elitist" for the "bitter" remarks he made in San Farncisco: “The irony is that I think it is fair to say that both Michelle and I grew up in much less privileged circumstances than either of my two other potential opponents,” he said.

"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.”

He is so completely out of touch.

Guys, you better start reporting a bit more objectively….. or are you turning into FOX?

Jennifer   May 1st, 2008 5:29 pm ET

CNN is unbelievable,
They are taking polls from FOX. Everyone with any sense knows that the republican want Hillary to run against. No matter what Obama's ill are. they are nothing compared to what Mccain has when we finally start vetting him.
There are a 1000 or more polls out there. I could make up a poll myself that says anything I wanted as long as it put hillary over Obama and CNN would gladly put that poll up.
so what's fair anymore. Nothing I guess. I feel bad about the state of this election season.

Wake up America!

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 1st, 2008 5:28 pm ET

The media coverage of this Paul vs Clinton case is very, very strange, to say the least. I am wondering if maybe there is a reason why the media is not telling the voters about this. Maybe there is a "Gag" order on this?

If CNN voluntarily choose not to tell the Public about the status of this huge Court Case that's one thing, but why are they allowing us to report on this blog about the situation. You know when you think about it, the Judge deliberately postponed Hillary's having to testify until after the November elections, he could have easily included a gag order, can you imagine what kind of fallout this would have on the elections,? both for Dem. Nominee and the General Election?

Whatever the reason you guys should do whatever you can to get the news out there for the voters. I am sure the polls would paint a completely different picture. Hillary Clinton would definitely be swimming against the tide!

Anonymous   May 1st, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Jim   May 1st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Hillary can beat McCain and it's not just the new polls telling us and the superdelegates what people are thinking and what the nation wants.

Obama is unelectable for several reasons: he won no big states, neither Ohio nor Florida, the man he says has been like a "father" reverand Wright has and will shape his beliefs, he insults many Americans when he accuses them of being bitter and clinging to guns and religion, he did not do well at all in the debates with Hillary.

SUPERDELEGATES WAKE UP AND SAVE THE DEMS CHANCES FOR NOVEMBER!

Janel, St. Paul, MN   May 1st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Hopefully these delegates will take the time to read up on the issues and to listen to the voice of the American people who want change.

The majority of Americans will not be happy with another Clinton administration and will be "miserable" should McCain win.

Senator Obama offers a clear vision and a tremendous opportunity for Americans to hold their heads high as he demonstrates that we are indeed a nation that respects and honors an African American president.

Peter   May 1st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

To all those Obama supporters who believe that this is just CNN stirring up mischief to help Clinton. Get over yourselves. CNN is not a Clinton lover anymore than they are an Obama lover. They are reporting the news that the polling companies have collected. These polls may or may not prove true (just look at the polls before New Hampshire), but this isn't information just creatively constructed by CNN…

All of the primaries need to be completed before either candidate is expected to drop out or pushed out. So far neither candidate can possibly get the needed 2024 delegates to clinch the nomination without the superdelegates. Let those of us in the final primaries have our say and then let the cards fall where they may.

James   May 1st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Renee   May 1st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

When the superdelegates finish this process, we need to change the rules so that we will not be held up so long in the future. This is clearly not working for both parties, for obvious reasons. The only person it helps is the GOP nominee.

In the Dems case, you are also dealing with lawyers, and they will both stretch the rules to the limit.

This where the math gets tricky for Hillary…the most likely scenario is that these delegates elected by their state party congresses will split 50-50 percentage wise that leaves only about 200 delegates that are undeclared technically……if that math is anything to go by Hillary has absolutely no chance of overtaking Obama and less of a chance of being the nominee……I do not forsee a scenario of these states giving 100% of these delegates to supporters of one candidate.

Mike   May 1st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Obama Nation… Paul vs. Clinton… give me a break you are talking about a civil case… anyone can sue anyone…

Rezko is a fraud case in Federal Court… CNN is not reporting anything about that as well… Obama has been linked to several other people that would really hurt him right now…

If you want them to cover the Paul case… they should start covering Rezko… I thought all of you wanted to move on too more serious matters… like the economy, jobs, war, healthcare, etc…

Know what do you say!!!   May 1st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Stop the BULL people. Obama knew what he was doing he layed his hand and lost. His wife Michelle blew her mouth wide open also. Know she's quiet. Obama now wishes to denounce his Rev. Wright becuase he knew if he didn't he was going to lose delegates. He never really made sense with his words change and hope. You have to clarify what you mean and how your changes will be good for the American people. He was too weak in what he was saying. Although either one of them will be good. Lets support the winner. Whinning and stabbing the other opponet with those horrible words show what your made of. Your voting like children who lost their dessert at dinner time. And know you want to hold your breath until you turn blue to get your own way. It's time to enter into adulthood. Know would be a good time.

I no longer look to the cable news stations for information. As I watch this primary process, I see how the media twists facts around to suit them. I now view most of the cable news channels as "for entertainment purposes only."

As for BO's support. He is not losing ground. These pollsters pick and chose who to question so as to get the desired result. If BO wins on Tuesday, the pundits will have to actually work and find a new news story. They don't want to give up on it as yet.

Wow, just more proof the Democratic authorities don't trust the people to choose the "right" nominee…

Please superdeligates and vote for Obama so we can end this Clinton

Karl Rove said something interesting on TV last night: he said the Dems have gone over the cliff before for McGovern and Dukakis. I hope Obama doesn't take us over the cliff!

It's amazing how the media can report and give Rev. Wright the spotlight on their networks but can't give the Paul vs Clinton civil case any attention.

Is it because of the "First Lady" protection rights even if it is a civil case?

Obama will only ruin the party if Hillary's cult followers refuse to vote democratic. So don't blame it on Obama, place the blame where it is due…and that is on you!

RIGHT ON ANON

TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Since the media is refusing to reveal/report the Paul vs Clinton fraud case in court right now, we need to create our own movement and flood every blog on CNN and every blogging website on the World Wide Web with information from the case regardless of what the topic is. For those that don't know - Google Paul vs Clinton and hold on to your shirt with what you read!!

OBAMANACS UNITE!!! LET'S DO THIS!!

Superdelegates:
Hillary is a fighter and she will WIN in November against McCain. The American people are afraid of Obama due to his relationship/connection with Reverend Wright, and the other radicals of Obama's past.
Vote who you think can BEAT McCain in November and that is HILLARY.

There is something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit – who have never before participated in politics – turn out in numbers we’ve never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.
There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common – that whether we are rich or poor; black or white; Latino or Asian; whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That is what’s happening in America right now. Change is what’s happening in America.
You can be the new majority who can lead this nation out of a long political darkness – Democrats, Independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington; who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable; who understand that if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that’s stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there’s no problem we can’t solve – no destiny we cannot fulfill.
Our new American majority can end the outrage of unaffordable, unavailable health care in our time.
