Sen. Hillary Clinton makes a campaign stop in Kinston, North Carolina, on Friday

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stumped for last-minute votes in Indiana and North Carolina Friday ahead of the states' Tuesday primaries.

New polls show Clinton narrowing Obama's lead in North Carolina, once seen as an easy win for Obama.

Polling in Indiana shows the two candidates running dead even.

"We are seeing terrific support all across Indiana and all across North Carolina … I have no doubt these are going to be tight races. This campaign has been tight throughout," Obama said in Indianapolis, Indiana, Friday morning.

"But I am very confident the American people are looking for the kind of truth telling and serious policy making that is going to have an affect on heir lives, and as long as I'm talking about the issues."

Tony B B.C.Mich   May 2nd, 2008 4:38 pm ET

THESE POLLS ARE REDICULOUS, IF THEY ARE PREDICTING THIS CLOSE OF A RACE, THEN WE MUST BE CLOSE TO A CURE FOR CANCER, AND SOMEONE MUST HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THE US ECONOMIC PROBLEMS……………….. ?

James   May 2nd, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Obama will with both Indiana and North Carolina. Game over for Hillary.

honkey white guy from cali   May 2nd, 2008 4:42 pm ET

I truly can not wait for Tuesday to be over! I am so tired of this at this point maybe that is what she is trying to just wear everyone out so they give it to her to shut her up

Mike   May 2nd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

That is depending on how many more fabricated videos Obama's people put out on youtube this weekend.

After further review,Texas   May 2nd, 2008 4:43 pm ET

These are the same people who lost their jobs to Hillarys China deals.Those jobs wont be coming back.She must have promised them jobs as greeters you know where.

FEDUP   May 2nd, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Go Hillary, you can do the job. His supporters are getting desperate as seen in the blogs. They are scratching the bottom of the barrel for dirt. Obama lies about every thing. His father was not a goat herder, he worked for the government in Kenya. Obama lied about Rezko, he has known him for 17 years. He lied about the donations from Rezko. He lied about his mentor/minister. Threw his grandmother under the bus. Where is she by the way, never see her by his side?

Kenneth M   May 2nd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

What happens if Obama does not win NC or IN on Tuesday? Will she have more delegats then he?

John Smith   May 2nd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Hillary is NOT tearing apart the democratic party. Hillary is doing just what any Clinton does— take advantage of any situation given to them (e.g., Monica L., Sniper-fire; NAFTA, Michigan and FL votes etc.).

The real people splitting this party are the "bilnd" and uneducated supporters of Hillary. How can Hillary, with more negatives than any politican (except Gov. Bush), ever run a successful general election in this nation? The Republicans and Independents are praying for that day to come!!! We will have to thank, not Hillary (because she will be off somewhere with her $109 million), but her "bird-brain" supporters

STOP THE MADDNESS!!!!   May 2nd, 2008 4:45 pm ET

."But I am very confident the American people are looking for the kind of truth telling and serious policy making that is going to have an affect on heir lives, and as long as I'm talking about the issues."

Obama we can only pray that they are!

DemocracyNow2008   May 2nd, 2008 4:46 pm ET

These last minute Polls are all over the place the only polls that will count are on Tuesday when the people of Indiana and North Carolina vote for Obama and you can take all the online polls and throw them out.

Obama will take North Carolina and Indiana regardless CNN of your Polls that you put on this website.

kingsley   May 2nd, 2008 4:47 pm ET

why is the network full of hillary? why her picture here and not both of them

clinton wouls beat mcain today— obama wont

whats wrong with this letter? the rise and fall of our democracy and how hypocrites like ED RENDELL will like to get fed again by the clintons. he will sell his soul for it. i also read the list of the reasons she should be the candidate and it didnt include black vote. why are we not relevant. and last of the question was "if the eletion were helf today". well its not being held today. it will be in NOVEMBER. and what about if it was held after super Tuesday? and how dare do they say she ran a better campaign than Obama? the republicans are waiting for her. SWIFTBOAT 08. WE CAN FIGHT IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR DEMOCRACY BUT WE CAN'T PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH IN OUR OWN BACK YARD.

DEMOCRACY FOR OBAMA 08

Rick   May 2nd, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Obama's arrogance continues to grow. He agreed to public funding and now wants to back out. He will now make up excuses as to why it should be his way. If this was Clinton, you guys would be all over her for going back on her word, but for Obama its okay.
I also find Obama's comments about the people in rural PA insulting and condesending. Yes, you lose a job and you have to struggle to feed you family, you are frustrated. However to say those people cling to guns and religion…sounds like he is talking down to people who he see's as differant and basically accuses them of blaming their problems on everyone else. That is arrogant..I am sure he will give a speech and we will all be happy again, but the people of PA should be offended

MM/FL   May 2nd, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Obama will be our next President. He tells us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. It takes a man with intergrity to do so.

Milwaukee for Obama   May 2nd, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Clinton could be narrowing Obama lead in NC because no one is telling the people of NC the truth about this case of Paul vs Clinton. Google for yourselves.

kiki   May 2nd, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Obama's relationship with Mr Rockwell must be reported. Rockwell paid Obama $8,000.00 a month for a couple of years when Obama needed money. Then, Obama wrote a letter recommending that the State of Illinois grant money (a few hundred thousand dollars) to Rockwell's company to sponsor a tennis tournament (Los Angeles Times, April 27, 2008). It sounds like money laundering to me.
Hope that CNN will post this comment for a change.

good luck   May 2nd, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Keep it up Clinton.

This race was fixed for Obama, but we are trying to reclaim the RIGHT to vote in America.

The DNC can not rig elections and expect to get away with it.

If you lose, I am no longer willing to cast a vote for Obama. Enough of the dirty, slanted, biased politics.

Let the people decide.

NotThisTimeinNY   May 2nd, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Truth Telling, Yes. Serious Policy Making, Yes. Can We? Yes, We Can!! Barack "The Truth" Obama '08

MM   May 2nd, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Go Indiana and NC — get out and vote. Vote Obama!

Brian   May 2nd, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Vote for real hope and change in America… vote for Barack Obama!

BARACK OBAMA '08!!!

Tom   May 2nd, 2008 4:51 pm ET

So if Obama's margin is 10% or less in North Carolina, does Hillary get the same respect and kudos that he would have gotten if he could've done the same in Pennsylvania (or Ohio, or….)???? Or will she be divisive, negative and racist? I think it's time that 90% of whites vote for Hillary to balance the fact that 90% of blacks are voting for Obama. I'm guessing that somehow this makes ME a racist??? Just so you understand, my wife would definitely argue with you on that if you so choose to go there.

Dem08   May 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Obama should try telling the truth on the stump.

BO supporters, stop spreading lies about the war room footage and paul vs.clinton. This is immature.

mitch from ark.   May 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

america needs obama….

s.b.   May 2nd, 2008 4:53 pm ET

"Polling" You mean one poll, by Zogby, whose brother works for the Obama campaign. Right now Clinton is further ahead in Indiana than she was at this time in Pennsylvania. There are no "polls" showing a tie. Even Zogb's shows 16% undecided which is absurd.

Go Hill   May 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

This should have been a fair and level playing field.

The woman-bashing that has entertained the DNC, the democratic party elites and the media is backfiring.

Americans will go with the winner- but only if that winner won a fair fight.

This primary was like one big Obama rally.

If you lose this nomination, the DNC will lose a lot of democrats that have been their long time base.

We will start a truly democratic party and leave this one to the left wing ultra liberals and their election fixing tactics.

Madison, NC   May 2nd, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Why haven't we heard about this case in the media?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

Susan MO   May 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

We hope the good people of Indiana and beautiful North Carolina vote for Hillary Clinton.

She is experienced, for the people and a fighter.

Hillary 08 :)

Lisa   May 2nd, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Obama said The American People would only save $30 in the summer under Hillary's tax relief gas plan. That's $30 I could use on food and clothing for my children. He is clearly out of touch with the American people.

Even if I saved $10 , that's $10 more I can put into my household. He doesn't understand the poor. It's easy for a rich guy to say we will only save $30. $30 is a lot of money to me, I don't even have that much in my bank account.

THE TRUE WE DESERVE , NC   May 2nd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

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!! L.A., California Case #BC304174

For those of you who think this case has been thrown out – is hasn’t, or is irrelevant – think again:

Boomer   May 2nd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Jeff in Alabama   May 2nd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Wow. I wonder what Obama is thinking as he sees his leads dwindle away in these states. He has a bright future in politics. But he will need to give it at least 4 years to make his run. We need an experienced leader to get us out of this mess.

Defining moment   May 2nd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Clinton News Network does it again!

Everytime there is anything negative about Shrillary they close the comments within minutes of the posting (i.e. controversial footage about IN voters). Are you ever going to comment on the Paul vs Clinton
story?!?

What about doing some unbiased reporting for a CHANGE … geez! Despair not my fellow Americains, no weapons formed by Billary against Barack shall prosper … CNN you really underestimate our intelligence.

Obama '08 & '12

California Voter   May 2nd, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Obama is saying that the gas tax cut that Clinton is proposing would take jobs away? What jobs is he talking about? Oil company profits is the proposed source for funding that cut — the money would not be coming from the transportation trust fund. Obama is not telling the truth hear — guess all politicians say what they have to say to get votes.

Itoldyouso   May 2nd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

She is a vile pandering politician at its worst. Please Indiana and North Carolina- put an end to the misery she is causing millions of people!

tyler   May 2nd, 2008 4:58 pm ET

did anyone noted that on the " "controversial footage is a fabrication," posting
cnn only allowed 5 comments and NOW is CLOSED for comments..

waoooooooo CNN do you not wan\t the people at this last hour to see who the clintons are???
now you will say it was limbaugh who made it or worse, that Obama mad\e it up;.

\amazing what CNN clinton National n ews will fabricate and how far they will go to censor information the people of this country has a right to see and judge forthemselves, but again she \believes we are dumb and that we can not tell from sniper fire and a made up video from the real thing..

Joyce, NC   May 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Truth talking Barack? Really? How convenient you throw people under the bus when it suits your political gain.

The other candidates - including John Edwards talked about issues. Offered solutions. You in turn waited to copy them and deliver speeches written at your convenience.

Focus on the issues, that's why we like Hilary. Straightforward, resilient, mature and knows them by heart.

gerald strother   May 2nd, 2008 4:59 pm ET

GO OBAMA """

all the more   May 2nd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

The more you bash and hound this woman, the more you try to kill her campaign… all the more we will unite behind her…
and all the more votes you will lose for Obama in Nov if he is the nominee.

We all started willing to vote for whoever won- in a fair process.

But the Obama cheaters and haters and dividers have caused the Hillary supporter to change their minds.

We will give you McCain as re-payment.

And we will not be all that upset if you give us McCain as you claim you will do if Hillary is the nominee. After all, we are conservative old geezers who won't be drafted and don't need Roe vs Wade and finished college decades ago. We really haven't anything to lose by a McCain win.

Mary, Ind   May 2nd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is a nightmare! You never see her again, after she get your vote. Back to Washington with her real friend, lobbyist.

Brian   May 2nd, 2008 5:00 pm ET

I know it is in CNN's interest to portray this as an extremely close race for ratings but tell the truth.

"New polls show Clinton narrowing Obama's lead in North Carolina, once seen as an easy win for Obama."

Current polling has shown Obama widening his lead from 7% yesterday to 8+% today.

"Polling in Indiana shows the two candidates running dead even."

Current polling shows Clinton widening her lead from 4% yesterday to 6+% today.

Chris, Middletown, CT   May 2nd, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Hillary is counting on supporters who don't read and will believe the absurd - and many of them support her solely because of her gender - there are many reasons to vote for someone….gender being the most ridiculous reason….Obama 08 (because HRC supporters….no…"they" aren't all like that

jeannie N.C.   May 2nd, 2008 5:02 pm ET

History is about to made in North Carolina!!! Hillary will take the state….hide and watch………………

marie   May 2nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

There's a big difference between the character shown by Clinton and Obama throughout this race. Time and time again, Obama has shown he has much more maturity and respect for America than Clinton to be our President.

Voters need to ask themselves if they want a president of character or the lying old school politics as usual from the Clintons.

Oren Ovadia, California   May 2nd, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Tight race???? Obama will lose in Indiana by 6%-10%, and the way things going, I would not be suprised if he will lose North Carolina.

charles   May 2nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

“The so-called ‘temporary gas tax holiday’ that Senators Clinton and McCain propose won’t deliver this needed relief. This will not create the economic relief they say it will, because prices will continue to rise until we address the real source of this problem. We do need to provide immediate relief for families hard-hit by spiraling gas prices, and we can do that by demanding the President stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This will ease the production crunch that is causing these skyrocketing gas prices.

“Senator Clinton claimed yesterday that I either stand with her on this proposal or stand with the oil companies. To that I say: I stand with the families of Colorado, who aren’t looking for bumper sticker fixes that don’t fix anything, but for meaningful change that brings real relief and a new direction for our energy policy. We can’t afford more Washington-style pandering while families keep getting squeezed.

Yve   May 2nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

Obama supporters can do a lot to help over the weekend. Donate part of your weekend to making calls to North Carolina and Indiana. Go on Barack Obama's website and follow the instructions. I have already done so and it's really easy to do. We can sit on our butts and bite our nails or we can take America back and guide it into a new direction. For those of us not fooled by the pandering, we can use our time wisely and take a stand together.

No thank you I want to shake Hilly hand and I don't want to see her husband in the White House again….Enough for the Bushes and the Clinton…Do we have any better candidate who can fix this country.

Tjaye   May 2nd, 2008 5:10 pm ET

I'm praying that Obama can show the people of Indiana that he is the candidate who is genuinely in this to serve America and not just make history as the first female president. But honestly, I'm starting to think this nation is blissfully ignorant. Obama is telling them truths that economists are confirming for him, but they still want the program that is garbage served on a silver platter. Funny how so many are saying that he is all pretty words, but they are falling for EMPTY words that make no real sense. Its no wonder there is so much poverty in certain areas; I can't believe there are people who think that saving $30 in 3 months on gas is a great solution. They can save more than that by carpooling or walking to the corner store all summer, instead of driving.

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result…looks like we might a nation of nutcases.

Babs   May 2nd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Why is Obama's speech on gas tax holiday 'stunt' not given front page status. Is the media following the way of ABC ??

Maria   May 2nd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

I just talked to my 72 year old conservative brother who has been a staunch republican all these years. He is pro Obama, can't stand either Hillary or McCain. He thinks it's time for change in Washington, and like so many others, believes Obama is the right person for this period in time. My brother is probably totally race prejudice, so if Obama can win him over, he can win Jenna Bush over too! It's time for superdelegates to get together and get rid of the billary factor.

enomisa   May 2nd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama are very similar on all the relevant issues.

Clinton has the far better health care plan- the only truly Universal one- even if it will be harder to achieve. Obama took the easy way out- his plan is NOT universal and he should not plug it as such.

So my vote if for Clinton.

melisa   May 2nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

yeah go hillary!!!!

Ben   May 2nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

After Obama is elected president. I hope one of his first acts will be to strip away the tax excemption given to all churches that use the pulpit as a political propaganda base.

Diana, Anacortes, WA   May 2nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

If Clinton wins the nomination I can see the ads now. Footage of her strolling along the tarmac in Bosnia WITH HER DAUGHTER and in the background you hear her telling her story of sniper fire and running with they're heads down. Most people don't like a liar.

Lisa   May 2nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

I know Obama didn't say anything about telling the truth. He lied about ever hearing the Pastor say those mean things, and still called him his uncle.

Rose - Baltimore, MD   May 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Yes tell people the truth, don't join Hillary and Mccain in lying to people just to get votes and mess up the economy. And they say they have experience, they only have washington longevity for nonsense.

mary, Dallas, Tx   May 2nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Is Hilliary Clinton a major stock holder in CNN? Her picture is always on your web site. CNN should be called Hilliary's war room. You are so one sided.

Why do you always have an AA female on your news cast to down Obama?

OHIO voter   May 2nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

It is pityful that the American people back cheating liars who refuse to change the state of our Country!

Ergo, if Clinton/McCain wins the nomination and, God forbid, either wins the presidency, NONE of you have ONE right to complain!

Obama could bring back America! I vote for a better future for my children!

Shame on you for not wanting a better future for our Children & our Country!

Whether Gas Tax or Not? Wrong or WRIGHT. No matter who wins the Democratic Nomination. Lets make a pledge that anyone who is a Clinton or Obama supporter that we vote Democratic… We cant afford a Republican these next 4 years. And if any Democratic voter does go vote for McCain, think about your children and your children's children that has a chance of going into a War not for ideology but for Oil. I am a rookie voter but think about the future. I Pledge that if Hillary or Obama win the nomination then I will vote for either one. I ask you consider this, and CNN posts this.

Samantha, MO   May 2nd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Good, she needs to get out there and campaign for every single vote, the way Barack has done from the beginning.

I hope Barack wins, because he has certainly changed this election process. But then again, I shouldn't be surprised because his whole campaign is about CHANGE, which Hillary will never do, unless she has to.

Obama 08

Jenny   May 2nd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Sorry but, Hillary is untrustworthy and thus unelectable.

How can you elect a person for president who go against the experts and who lies to the American people all the time?

How can you elect Hillary who has lied about her experience?

How can you trust her? She stayed with Bill after he had many many affairs, only for her own politial gains. What will she do to this country when she won't listen to the experts now?

She scares the hell out of me.

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   May 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Hillary is a Liar and lots of other bad things. Proven over the past 35 years.

Obama is honest and has integrity.

That's all I need to know (in a nutshell - there are other things too, but those two are the clinchers).

Lisa   May 2nd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Hillary needs to stop faking,,, she talks a good game… but she is a REPUBLICAN that wears a good pants suit…… she might just have testiculars…….lol.

Julie MN   May 2nd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

What Obama is really saying is; I count on the ignorant ,lazy,mean Americans to vote for me even though I'm a crook, liar, I have no resume, I cheated my way to this position by getting my competition names off the ballet by any means I knew. I cant release my 1997-1999 income tax, well, you know why, also I seem to have lost all my senate records or legal work I may have done for favors. He does NOT tell the trueth and he knows nothing about the issues!

Obama needs to drop out now !!!

DAN   May 2nd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Hillary will take Indiana by a good margin close to 10 points and Will also win NC narrowly,.This is kosher, it's easy to see because it's the economy stupid, and Hillary is on that theme while Obama's change means opening discussions and debates on race which is good for pastors but a presidents role is more about governing the country.

Hopefully Obama will get in there with the black voters of Indianapolis that were complaining about feeling ignored a few days ago. He needs those votes.

Eric   May 2nd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

"Polling in Indiana shows the two candidates running dead even"

Well, that's not what I see in realclearpolitics:

Hillary 47.5
Obama 41.3

I know you CNN want Obama to be the nominee but at least be a little objective in your reportings. One thing is opinion, another thing is facts.

Thank you

Why is no one allowed to record Bill Clinton's stump speeches? I'm just wondering what old Slick Willey is up to left on his own like that. I know it isn't good whatever it is.

Think about it Indiana and North Carolina voters…if Hillary gets the nomination they won't be able to control Bill at all.

jessie   May 2nd, 2008 5:35 pm ET

I would like to vote for hilary clinton because compared to oboma
she is the better candidate to run this country. obama has only
one thing in mind change change change. that is all he knows.

Interested Reader   May 2nd, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Clinton will take Indiana and UPSET Obama in NC.

Can or Will Obama-bots support Hillary in the General election? I'm not holding my breath….. turncoats.

Lost cause. He won, she lost in every category - so stop crying. On to the general election in the fall.

Janet from NH   May 2nd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Why isn't any one reporting about the illegal and false robocalls being made in NC too stop people from voting? Is it because the group who is responsible has ties to the Clinton campaign? Come on CNN, do some real reporting about Americans being taken advantage of?

Jim, NC   May 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Whether Gas Tax or Not? Wrong or WRIGHT. No matter who wins the Democratic Nomination. Lets make a pledge that anyone who is a Clinton or Obama supporter that we vote Democratic… We cant afford a Republican these next 4 years. And if any Democratic voter does go vote for McCain, think about your children and your children's children that has a chance of going into a War not for ideology but for Oil. I am a rookie voter but think about the future. I Pledge that if Hillary or Obama win the nomination then I will vote for either one. I ask you consider this, and CNN posts this.

b   May 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Is the American public this ignorant??? Apparently we are. Sad, I think. Hillary is out to get anyone willing to listen to her I will fix this for you. Really, Tell me how??? We are ready for something else, Hillary, not just same old, same old.

Jed in Texas   May 2nd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

It takes a special kind of person to look them in the eye and outright lie to them.

yns   May 2nd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Go Hillary Go! We need you to run this country!

Sante   May 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

".. I am very confident the American people are looking for the kind of truth telling and serious policy making that is going to have an affect on heir lives, ……"

And HILLARY is the one hwo can and will delivere it.

"….and as long as I'm talking about the issues."

OBAMA is just talking, and talking and talking….

Go Lady, Go!!!!

Viv   May 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

It is hard to believe that there are still some people out there and that are not aware of Hillary being a liar and a fake. People are voting fo rher in hopes that they are giving Bill Clinton a third term. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Get real people! what are we? A dictatorship? no more Bushes and no more Clintons please! Obama is ready, willing and able and we need the change he and only he can bring to Washington. Please vote Obama and give him a chance to show us the way to a new way of doing business in Washington.

Andy Olsen   May 2nd, 2008 5:45 pm ET

With all of the talk and questions of Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright when is someone going to question Hillary about her ex pastor Rev. William Procanick? I think someone needs to question her about his Sexual abuse conviction of inappropriately touching a 7 year old girl. When is this going to be aired?

Rb.   May 2nd, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Since we have to listen what Obama says?

Why should we trust him?

We don't need his change. First he has to change himself, and then maybe we can trust him with our country. The country we love and proud about.

Hillary for president!!!!!!!!

Ethio   May 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Indiana goes to Clinton! Why?

Rep. will vote for her because she weak and play the same politics like John. John will win in Nov. if she is the Dem. Nom.

Ind. vote goes to Obama, most of them.

SAM   May 2nd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

give it up Hillary Obama is seal by God, 08 Obama

Linned   May 2nd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Let's hope. I would rather you tell me the truth and I can make adjustments accordingly.

Jack   May 2nd, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Still no word on the Peter Paul vs. Hillary scandal?

Shame on you, CNN! Your corporate ties are showing!

Mark Webb   May 2nd, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Hey, CNN!
Don't you have any photo of OBAMA?????????????????
This is press no more, it's PROPAGANDA!

Terri Patanus   May 2nd, 2008 5:54 pm ET

North Carolina and Indiana

Stand with HILLARY! She wil not let you down. I would love to see a Clinton/Edwards ticket.

With obama most likely you are to see a Obama/Wright. I will vote for McCain if Obama is on the ticket at all.

IN OTHER WORDS I WILL VOTE AGAINST OBAMA REGARDLESS.

Eric   May 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Keep going HILLARY!!!

GO HILLARY!!! HILLARY 08!!!

gene   May 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I do not know where CNN mumbers come from. Three new polls out of Indiana are as follows: Rasmussen Clinton is leading 46% to 41%, with 13% undecided. Public Policy Polling has Clinton %0% to 42%, with 8% undecided. Teleresearch Polling has 48% to 38%, with 14% undecided. All out of the margin of error. You also need to be reporting that a 400,000 AA group has send the DNC threathened, that if the super delegates wind up voting to give the nomination to Clinton they will punish the other Democrats in the general election. I voted in Texas and I voted in my primary for white, black and hispanic candidates and I am white. This entire process, which will include the general election, will be an election on race. The Democrats will lose, not only the President election, but up and down the ballot. I might even just "skip" voting.

gene   May 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

POST SCRIPT………Public Policy Polling should read…. Clinton 50% to 42% and 8% undecided….sorry for the mistake

R2   May 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

How are they 'last-minute' if the primary is 4 days away??

golden boy   May 2nd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Son of a gun. Why don't you just get out of the democrate party and form your own party named" Farrahkan, Wright and Obama" party and run the campaign, and let Mr. CNN supports you and give you the second pillow. Let Mr. CNN twists the words that you are Mohammad from the Heaven comimg down to the earth to decimate all the infidels and suck blood from Mr. CNN, and to overthrow the U.S. government . Let the people of the stupid Americans vote. Then we will see if the stupid Americans are going to vote for your party or Republican party or democratic? If your "Trio" party win then we will submit all the wealth we have to you and call you as our "MASTER" sir. O.K

Festus, Montana   May 2nd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

Hillary now has to have all of her campaigns outside on real stumps
because she didn't budget her money right. Now she wants to budget
the countries money?

Suzan, Indiana   May 2nd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

The delegate difference is more than 150 and Obama is the nominee no matter what happens in the remaining 9 primaries. However, it will be nicer if Obama win Indiana and we get big clebration on Wednesday…
Come on Indiana… Let put and end to this primary and move on to the general election…

Mary Wa   May 2nd, 2008 6:13 pm ET

NC- end the McCain edge! Vote for Obama he is the one who will win. A vote for Clinton is a vote that helps McCain.

Obama 08   May 2nd, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Yes We Can !!!

Obama 08

Illinois voter   May 2nd, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Latest polls show Clinton up by 6 to 8 points in Indiana. What poll is CNN looking at?

carrie   May 2nd, 2008 6:17 pm ET

go back to arkansas
we dont need you in washington
and u and bill look like rednecks
go home

McHillary   May 2nd, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Time for HillBilly to GET OUT of this race. She can't win, everyone knows it, so stop pretending.

Obama vs McCain = Democrat in the white house.

Judy   May 2nd, 2008 6:20 pm ET

279 to go for Obama!!!!!!!! Another day, another batch of supers!!!!

Tim   May 2nd, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I think the people of Indiana and North Carolina need to know more about Mrs. Clinton. We have heard all about the Rev. Wright situation but Clinton vs Paul gets no reporting at all. Hilary was talking about the media not being fair well it is time for the American people to learn about this. CNN it is time you start reporting on this that way the people really know who they are voting for.

Kim   May 2nd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Dead Even? Unbelievable! Bill Clinton sells all our good paying jobs to China and makes 109 Million Dollars for his treason. Bill Clinton and his sleazy lobby groups bring deregulation laws that ruined the Airlines and communications industries. Bill Clintons weakness led to the 911 Terror Attacks. And now a Clinton is even in the polls to become a presidential candidate? Wow! maybe the news is right. Maybe the uneducated and ignorant really do vote all in favor for Hillary. What other possible explanation could there be?

mr stlouis   May 2nd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

big bobble head hillary is a liar thief cry baby and a fairytale

kayla   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

people can see through you billary. you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. your time is up!

Big Al   May 2nd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Alright North Caroline and Indiana the American people are counting on you to vote for the next president and we know that through your intuition, you will chose the best Democratic candidate.

And we all know that person will be ready on day one…

God Bless America!

anne in OK   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Who cares about Elizabeth Taylor? She is a perfect fit with Clinton's demographic. Is she a superdelagate? No. Why aren't you reporting on Paul Kirk's decision to back Obama? He is former DNC Chair and a superdelegate— a little more important than Liz Taylor, don't you think?

ANTI CLINTONS   May 2nd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

She is going to lose no matter what you Clinton worshipers say or think, she is to far behind, and man does she have a big behind, watch out!

Anita in NC   May 2nd, 2008 6:57 pm ET

I'd like to see Hillary win in NC if only to torment the vote suppressing,

democracy intolerant, DNC leadership. Party leadership and DEM

government officials have exhibited "EXTREME ANTIPATHY"

and "ELITISM" towards their own civilian members in this primary

election season.

obama supporter   May 2nd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

hillary voters
read (peter paul.com)then go for obama

Rosie   May 2nd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

Bloomberg, where are you?!!!!!

Mom4Obama   May 2nd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Hoosier Moms get UNITED your one vote can get CHANGE for the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brandon NC Voter   May 2nd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

There is a suprise brewing in North Carolina,
It begins with an O but does not end with a bama.

Hillary or Mc Cain in 08

Cowboy Jack   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Neither of these races are tight!

Hillary will win Indiana by 5-10 pts…. Obama will win NC by 5-10 pts

Lisa   May 2nd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

Put a fork in Obama because he's done.

annie   May 2nd, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Keep going Hilliary - our country needs you! NC and IN, get out there and vote. This country does not need a president who takes 20 plus years to figure out what his mentor is saying.

dwayne   May 2nd, 2008 7:13 pm ET

She'll get the nomination…calm down white folks.

Bridgette- PA   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Come on Indiana and N.C., let's finish this thing and make everyone proud!

OBAMA-08!

nic   May 2nd, 2008 7:16 pm ET

At the dawn of May 6th we should know if Hilary Clinton really has to continue in the race and even win or not and if Obama should wrap it all and let Hilary be.A candidate must emerge come after May 6th IND-LINERS will decide the democratic race afterall.Dems should decide and quickly too before the GOPS capitaze on their lapses.

Deborah   May 2nd, 2008 7:17 pm ET

DO NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY

SHE IS A LIAR AND A DECEIVER!!!!!!

She is a dangerous Mis-speaker : - o

BJ   May 2nd, 2008 7:22 pm ET

The longer this race goes on, the stronger Hillary is!

With the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, let me place an analogy… Obama is a sprinter, trying to go a distance. He starts strong, but has no stamina, and poops out in the end. Clinton is a closer, and starts out slow, splits the field, and finishes with a relish to WIN!

As I keep reading the blogs, I am convinced that Obama supporters that blog are "professional bloggers", meaning they are getting paid by Obama. No matter what happens, they spin it to his advantage, and I find it hard to believe that anyone could delude themselves this way.

Obama needs to step down, go back to the Senate and legislate more, and perhaps in 2016, may be better qualified to be POTUS.

Tim from Ohio   May 2nd, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Nobama will win North Carolina because of black people and Clinton will win Indiana because of white people. To this point, voters have voted primarily along racial lines. The evidence shows that this is true.

linda-Texas   May 2nd, 2008 7:33 pm ET

"New polls show Clinton narrowing Obama's lead in North Carolina, once seen as an easy win for Obama."

Seems Senator Obama and Rev. Wright's theatrics last week did not fool too many people.

GL   May 2nd, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Surprised we haven't heard Clinton or one of her cronies blame Obama for Barbara Walters affair yet. (The affair was with a black man- so naturally it's his fault it happened.)

Snowcat   May 2nd, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Of course it is getting close in NC. The peoplle are finally seeing that the ordination of Obama is a mistake for our party. Look for the Obama campaign to really throw away all of this new politics stuff if he loses both of these states…it will get as dirty as they come. Hillary is the only real choice.

Desi - NJ   May 2nd, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Both Clinton and Obama have said they will support whichever one of them is the eventual candidate and we are being asked to support the democratic standard bearer. I want to know why Mrs. Obama has twice responded that she doesn't know whether she would support Mrs. Clinton should she be the nominee. She expects Clinton supporters to vote for her husband in November, but we have no indication if she will do the same if Clinton is the candidate. Seems to be a double standard and not in the interest of unifying the party.

Rj   May 2nd, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Indiana & Bright NC electorate are for Senator Clinton!!!

Terri in ARKANSAS   May 2nd, 2008 8:24 pm ET

NC and IN Remember this OBAMA was afraid to debate Hillary in NC are you going to vote for a CHICKEN.

NOT ME in FACT I will vote against a chicken

Tony, Miami   May 2nd, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Obama for President
Hillary at the kitchen (not the white house's one) I don't trust her
McCain retired veteran investing in the kitchen with wife's money.

America prosperous again.

Viva USA

Terri in ARKANSAS   May 2nd, 2008 8:31 pm ET

NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA GO WITH HILLARY!

IF YOU GO WITH OBAMA YOU AGREE WITH THE REV WRIGHT!

HE WILL BE THE NATIONS PASTOR IF OBAMA IS VOTED IN.

HILLARY OR MCCAIN

OBAMA SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A CHOICE.

Brian   May 2nd, 2008 8:35 pm ET

Vote for change…. Vote for change…. no more of the same

indigogrrl   May 2nd, 2008 8:43 pm ET

the latest wright thing was totally staged … he did his thing, Obama got to denounce him just in time…and then exit stage left. If he was really trying to "bring him down" he would still be talking …yet here we are days later and no response from the spurned Rev Wright….

what a sham ….

Hannah   May 2nd, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Truth telling? Did he just say truth telling? This is the same person that said he never heard his pastor utter any of those statements. I can live without that kind of truth telling, thanks very much.
