bet on the sure thing

CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know if Obama had anything all wrapped up, Clinton would have been out of the race a long time ago and would defnitely not have a glimmer of support left. Obviously, there is good reason to doubt Obama's ability to win in a general election.

What happened to his NC landslide victory?

Let's just wait for Tuesday to see what happens. All this speculation never changes anything. Interesting how they will bet on Clinton pulling an UPSET in North Carolina even though Obama was the underdog in PA but never got full credit for tightening the race. Even in the midst of bitter-gate he still held her to a single-digit victory. It's all good…as long as the math stays on our side…we're good.

I LOVE HILLARY. SHE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE. THINK POSITIVE.

Clinton News Network. Over a hundred thousand people have ALREADY voted in NC during the big leads Obama had over Clinton. Trying to help Clinton out every minute I see.

Now to the Ballot Bowl of The Clintons, airing now probably with Candy Crowley drooling over Clinton's new suit!

Hopefully he still wins North Carolina b/c that would be a disaster if her didn't.

Why are people forgetting that Obama has won twice as many states as Clinton? These last few states seem to be what everyone is focused on. I'm sure Hillary and her supporters would like to erase all of that but you can't, it's there and will be there. If Hillary wins all the final contests she will still be behind in pledged delegates but she wants everyone to forget that she's only won 15 states. It's ridiculous.

Charlotte, whose name now appears multiple times on every blog, is obviously a Clinton operative.

Perhaps Obama's victory in NC will be only the kind of "landslide" Pennsylvania was for Clinton.

Barrack and Michelle….. vs ……Hilliary, Bill, Chelsea, Rev Wright, 25% of Racist America, All of Fox News Corp, Joe Scarbourough, half of CNN, John McSame, and the RNC.

Yeah that's a fair fight. Who's the real fighter.

correction: if HE didn't

== u people are so silly, i bet CIA already made up their mind to put billary in the W.H , coz, they're the only one who can start the WWIII.
mcfart is too old, obama doesn't want to kill people.

Obama has taken over a million dollars in donations from sub-prime lenders. Citigroup,Washington Mutual,Countrywide,Credit Suisse, Centex and Goldman Sachs. He is beholden to them and their tatics. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. He is a typical politician who will say what he thinks you want to hear. Rev. Wright said it all, Obama is a politician who says what a politician needs to say to win."
Google it folks.. I'm just a supporter who will blog with the rest of you, I cannot let you Obama-bots get away with your lies…

The voters are apparently willing to sell their vote for a one-time $35 gas saving, which will be wiped out by a price increase in the cost of gas. Hillary's record=breaking earmaarks totalling $2.3 billion indicate that others will reward her with their votes and donations. I don't want to sound cynical, but it's looking that way.

How is she gaining when yesterday it was 49% Obama and 42 for Clinton–that was a 7% advantage for now it's 9%. I'm confused CNN.

If everyone knew all about the fraud civil lawsuit Paul v Hilliary Clinton that the news media and the judge don't want you to know about. It remains to be seen what the voters will think of Hillary. go to peterfpaul.com and read all that you can about the case. Hillary is called a fraudulent Senator.

It is too late for her to do anything meaningfull.

She can be on his heels, but that's it.

She will do the right thing and surrender unconditionally by the end of next week.

I love the name calling on blogs: "Clinton operative" and "Clinton News Network" are the best. NOT!

Get a clue people! Obama was WRONG about WRIGHT and his shady, close PERSONAL ties to CRIMINALS like Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers demonstrate very POOR JUDGMENT. And let's not forget about his elitist "bitter clinging" comments.

Hillary and Obama would both make GREAT Presidents. But the only one who can win in November is Hillary. Obama has way too much baggage and the Republican attack machine will DESTROY him in the general election.

GO HILLARY !!

HILLARY WILL BE PRESIDENT!

MSM is trying to tighten the race for drama. Obama will win NC!

Can you say Operation Chaos!!

Vote for me and I will make your water tap turns into wine.

who said that.

Hillary, but she will give up soon.

Just do the math. Clinton need to get over 60% of all remaining delegates. Get over it. Clinton lost.

If Hillary went to a white supremacist church for 20 years or had attended controverial cermons as such as Rev. Wright cermons, or had her spiritual adviser say comments like those of Barrack's pastor, she would have been long ago burned at the stick by the media and lost any hope in this race. I wonder why it is not the same for Barrack Obama?!!!

Charlotte is either Rush Limbaugh in a dress or one of his pinheads.

I hope you win Hillary.. I see a real fighter in you…

Could it be that people are realizing that Obamas Wonderland Express is just powered by dreams and not by any level of reality? The fact that supposedly educated members of the Democratic party have wasted their votes on someone who has no experience, accomplishments, or even a plan that isn't powered just by the idea of change doesn't say much for their common sense.

It doesn't matter what happens at this point the math will never change and he is winning. Hillary can argue what she wants to argue about winning what states big state, small state, red states, blue states. The superdelegates will not and I must repeat myself will not take the nomination from someone who clearly won it. How often does that happen? Never. How would it look for superdelegates taking the nomination from a black man who won it fair and square. It is just not going to happen. They are both good candiates but he has won and its over. The media don't want it to be over because their rating are going to drop once this race is over so they continue to push that if she get close, if she win this, if she win that, this is the media at work. Its over and anyone thinking that it is not is fooling themselves. Good luck Hillary with whatever you chose to do after this, but you have lost.

So…Hillary went down by 10 points in Pennsylvania and yet CNN called it a landslide victory?? Polls say the same thing about Obama in North Carolina and it is Clinton gaining?? Your channel is becoming pathetic and your blog nothing more than a spokesman for the Clinton campaign.

What a second…didn't CNN report a smaller margin earlier this week?

We know Wolfie would LOVE for Clinton to win, but enough already with your stupid polls!! Anyway you slice it Obama is still leading!

Why can't Clinton close the deal?

Charlotte– same thing that happened to Hillary's supposed landslide in PA, where she went from a 20+% lead to 9%.

Think about this…if Hillary wins in November (what a horrible thought) and gets a 2nd term (again…a horrible thought) we will have 28 straight years of either a Clinton or Bush in the White House. No thanks.

When Obama closes the gap, it's called SLIGHTLY…

When HRC does it, it is called a BIG GAIN…

Wouldn't it be interesting if…

HRC wasn't known for being a first lady…

But she was on the same playing field with Obama.

Now you tell me, "Why hasn't SHE closed the race!"

A single digit victory for BO in NC would spell a demographic defeat for him. If it ends up around five percent, it would be a disaster.

If by "UPSET" you mean a Clinton win, no sane person expects that to happen. She'd have to get five out of six non-blacks.

The final PA margin was consistent with Ohio. No surprise there.

Go Hillary you can win

They've been singing this "Obama is losing support" song since earlier in the week. I saw it at first, but the Obama campaign must have a last-minute surge. He was down to a 7 point lead over Clinton and now he's back up to 9. 1 point away from the famed double digit lead that Clinton had over Obama in PA. Get it together CNN.

People are starting to wise up, They know Clinton is the only one

to beat McCain in the election. Obama supporters need to accept

the fact.

HILLARY 08

Hillary is a smart lady. That would be great if she wins NC and Indiana.

They seem to have succeeded in getting Democrats to hate each other. Sad.

Obama will win NC and Indiana.

Go Obama 08

ANYONE CAN PAINT A PRETTY PICTURE BUT YOU CANNOT PERDICT THE WEATHER, JUST AS YOU CANNOT PERDICT WHO WILL WIN THE PRESIDENTAL NOMINATION IN NOVEMBER.

Hillary and her gas tax says it all about her. She will do and say anything to be president. It is just that simple.

Maybe he'll win by 9.3 percent and we can round it up to 10 and say he won by double digits!

Obama '08

How can people be so blind to Clinton's tricks?
She is a typical politician just saying whatever she thinks will get votes, not what she truly believes.

Go Obama!!!!!

Who cares who has the most delegates, or popular votes. None of it matters. Does anyone remember the disenchantment the Democrats felt after Florida in 2000? You are the ones that are proposing we do the exact same thing again. The people have spoken and there is a clear leader. Hillary needs to save what little dignity she has left and just go away. There is a reason the Republicans want her to win. If you were rooting for an opponent would you want the strongest opponent or the weakest? Think about it. The Republicans are afraid of Obama and not Hillary.

The Spin Doctors of CNN are in. Spin it CNN spin It because, I don't recall you having a caption for Obama when he gained on Hillary. As a matter of fact, you barely recognized it during the P.A. primaries and people wonder why others think that their are biases and racism in the country. Just look @ many of the media outlets.

If its Hillary then we did the right thing and we should thank or lucky stars

She says what you want to hear she can not be trusted…..

Obama can not win in the general election. He is "damaged goods". Dems will be making a huge msitake when they nominate Obama.

Hillary is the "Real Thing"

Oh give me a break…Zogby had a poll released on Friday that had Obama up by 16%…

Hillary has set her own standards on how these states are to be interpreted. Obama is to be criticized for doing poorly in her strongholds, while it is completely unacceptable for people to expect her to do the same in his.

Clinton come on go home and sleep, you know it will not work.

well done clinton! keep working on it and you'll tighten that lead in no time! i hope clinton wins indiana and reduces obama to a 5% or so lead in NC. Clinton can still win this, and she has to, for the sake of America! Polls show she is democrat with the highest chance of winning the GE!

Like hillary doesn't have some unsavory people in her group. Paul vs Clinton. Whitewater, Whitehouse firings. There are books published on the nasty people the clintons are tied to. I see why the uneducated vote for hillary.

People:

All candidates proclaim "change" "change" "change" No one as much as Barack,,,my feeling is if you want "change" that's what you'll have in your pocket at the end of the day if you vote for Obama. Please all,,,,, vote for the sure thing, the person with the leadership and experience behind her. That will certainly help her lead our nation wisely. We are going all the way, GO HILLARY!!! Those who wanted Hillary to quit,,,shame on you, AMERICANS DON'T QUIT!!

THE MOMENTUM NEVER LEFT
OBAMA 08

I hope that the Obama Camp takes advantage of all this polls and raise expectations for Hillary because Obama is going to win double digits. Remember my name on Tuesday nigth ! ! ! If I were the Obama camp, I would be all over the cable news repeating over and over that Hillary is going "to pull an upset," so when the returns come in on Tuesday night the pundits give Obama credit for his win.

So far, every poll taken in states in the South has underestimated the AA turnout. Look at the polls in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississipi, Alabama, Louisiana. The this is that it's hard to poll minorities because they don't have a strong history of voting.

What makes you think Karl Rove keeps giving hint as how Omaba can beat Clinton? Because he thinks McCain and Republican party have a better chance matching up with Obama rather Clinton. Fundamental truth. Like Karl Rove gives a fuss as who is winning among Democrats after all because he looks forward to the general election. Face it, Clinton's been there, done that, she knows how politics insinde the Capital Beltway has been done therefore she has a better chance facing McCain, compared to a young-blood inexperienced Obama. Ligthen up, all fellow Democrats out there. After all, we look forward to the general election, so id rather be sure on Clinton than putting my bet on Obama.

Let's face it. Clinton is best equipped to be the next president. IF Obama takes the nomination, which he will get based on a very strong race backing, he will LOSE the general election in November to McSame. So, all you Obama backers need to wake up and see this for what it really is. It's about politics, not a persons race or gender, SO STOP VOTING FOR THAT REASON ALONE.

THe problem with Obama wasn't wright. Giving Obama the benefit of the doubt, Obama only heard those clips from youtube, when the uproar about it came up in March. He defended him, and excused his behavior as a man in a time warp in his race speech. He threw his grandmother under the bus and other white women like G. Ferraro. This man attack white America with his hatred and Obama defended him. It wasn't until Wright attacked him, when he said that Obama would only distance himself because he's a politician, that was not acceptable. So Obama isn't out there to defend this country, only his career and his fame.

Go NC for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Sen. Clinton will fight for average Americans every day as President. Sen. Clinton has standards, ethics, and experience AS WELL AS A SUPERB EDUCATION.

Senator Clinton is America's beacon to regain the light that the USA has shown around the world. NC go for Hillary; she will not disappointment America asthe next President of the land we love!

Why is Fox News the other network reporting on the "women's group" in NC making robo calls? They are Hillary supporters and target African American voters. They LIE to them about voter status and eligibility trying to discourage them from voting and in some cases telling them they are not eligible to vote. This is outrageous; yet the Pro-Clinton run media of the past 3 months have not reported on this. WHY?? Do the Clintons own some share of stock in these media outlets? Makes me wonder.

Barack Obama has run a respectable campaign and he has had to deal with not only the unscrupulous Clintons but ever since John McCain wrapped up the republican nomination; the republican party has joined forces with Clinton to try to prevent him from winning the democratic nomination. Again, make me wonder WHY? How corrupt is our government and what are they hiding.

If you live in NC or IN, please for the good of this country; vote for Obama and let's move on to the General Election

go obama you are the best

I don't think it's wise for any hillary shill to venture into the territory of "shady personal ties". Hubbel, mcdougal, rich, rodham brothers, paul…talk about the pot calling the kettle..

It enough when republican startt to gaeave in Hillary historical corruption,they will eat her like sall fish.
American wake up she made politics from your children blood 30,000 killed and wounded as well trillions is your bill,she made right judgment you shall put her in jail not to make her prisdent?

I'm tired of Obama of not clinching this election. As a Democrat, which we all are in these comments section, i have to come to believe that Hillary does possess the qualities needed for a strong President, but at the same time having the hearts for us the common people, students like me , and most importantly my little babies. I know for sure that she'll turn all the tables if needed to protect and safegurad the health of my babies.
She could be shrewd, a woman, but finally i've to come to believe that she is the PRESIDENT OF USA.

I am hoping the eyes, ears and brains of voters are finally functioning correctly by voting for the most qualified candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton. Senator Obama made thousands of promises to his South Chicago district in 1996 and should go back and fulfill those first. Are all his promises bogus now as in 1996? America needs someone who can and will fulfill campaign promises made.

Europe for Clinton!!!!!
A strong woman is needed to end the war. And she is that strong woman.

Go Hillary!

Michael: You are flat wrong and a victim of Hillary and conservative propaganda. There is a significant portion of the republican party that will vote for Barack, but not Hillary (Ron Paul like supporters) - in fact the republicans will be galvanized to vote agaist her. Hillary will lose.

The conservative only have Rev. Wright and Barack just needs to respond on a national scale with the Philly speech and the one from last week . Where Hillary is seen as dishonest and immoral… she cannot change that and has not acted in any way to change it. My father a staunch conservatve will vote for Barack in November or McCain if Hillary wins.

For real change and a real win it is only Obama '08.

Well, so now Hillary is tapping into Obama's lead in North Carolina, Hmmm, how about that? But he's winning in Guam right? Less than 2000 votes casts so far…how many people in Guam? I want a fighter for president. Hillary sounds good to me. If Obama is the nominee I worry about having a President who preaches like a minister, has a wife who FINALLY is proud to be a American, thinks people in small towns like their religion and guns because of the poor economy, and has to think about denouncing a minister who sounds just as bad as the other right winged ministers that have brought our country down. And people want to know why many will cross party lines and vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee…it's not rocket sicience folks. Hillary all the way, GO HILLARY!

well i'm pretty confused as to who should be elected president but one thing is for sure i'd like to see a democrat candidate with full support very soon to take on sen.McCain else he might walk away with the cake all by himself

All this week i heard all about Mr.wright commits,but i no media coverage at all about pat buchanan racist remarks about obama being lucky to be an american.all news media never reported that at all.

This country desperately needs a new direction that can only come with new leadership. Obama is the only candidate that can bring much needed change to this country. Obama is a sincere and honest person and can be compared to Bobby Kennedy. The Clintons offer more of the same old style politics and it must be rejected.

Hillary is a smart, strong leader . She will do what is required to help Americans.

HILLARY WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

we'll see who has momentum after this tuesday,when obama wins n.c.,and with his guam win,today,and a split in delegates in indiana ,hillary will see that negative politics doesn't work with us ,anymore.she will be behind in every category,including super delegates,and her support will begin to wane.obama will be our next president.

Don't forget that Hillary has proven to be a liar in many ways for which she had repeatedly apologized to America. This means Hillary has experience in lying. Obama has not lied about anything and has not apologized except about Guns and Church. Now who would you prefer to lead America?

Has America forgotten that Clintons = Corruption/Scandals.
I do beleive that America deserves break from the past scandals
of Clintons and short sitedness of Bushes.

Will there ever be a change in the overriding opinion of the people of the US as not being stupid? Everyone is not as uniformed as you think. Remember the impossible lead Clinton had in Pennsylvania and your terminology that a win is a win no matter what the margin was? We will see.

I couldn't care less if it's a one point lead, remember the Clinton's words a win is a win!

I guess we FULLY UNERSTAND WHY Bill Clinton stood and opened his mouth to say that caucuses DON'T COUNT, well that's because Obama has won EVERYONE of them to date.

It's AMAZING how those Clinton's ALWAYS DISMISS every primary or caucus Obama wins, dismissing the efforts of the voters and the voters themselves these same ones that they go into their states, cities and towns and profess to hold so dear. Remember while they were ahead the Clinton's were STILL saying that Fla. & Mi. did not matter, they both stated this, but now that these two states are so necessary for them to win, they have BECOME the most important voters of all. Give me a break how stupid do they really think people are?

Hillary must have forgot to tell them she has ROOTS THERE!

party people…we are acting like pre-adolescents. Both Obama and Hillary are democratz trying to do their best to persuade voters to vote from their positions on what's best for America. The will of the people has spoken, Hillary cannot win. Unless the darkside of the American personality shows its ugly head and breaks the rules on DNC party rules for "of cousre" a White person. What will that tell the world about America and her moral judgment?

I keep hearing everyone talking about the number of states Obama has won. The number of states doesn't really make that much difference, when you look at the population of the territories he's won versus those of Hillary Clinton. If this were an actual presidential election, there would be no question as to who the actual winner would be. Whether we like it or not we use the electoral college to elect our president. The electoral college requires 270 votes to win the election. If we were to use the same system to elect a candidate for the democrats, Hillary Clinton would be the clear choice. At present she holds 240 electoal votes to Obama's 196. We need to stop bickering among the party and focus on the candidate that can bring a win in November. Hillary shows that she can be a winner.

Also, if you speak with democrat voters many will tell you that even if Obama doesn't win the democratic spot, they would still vote for Hillary. However, many who are asked the opposite will tell you they would choose McCain over Obama. This is something the I hope the democrats will take into consideration when making their choice.

Let put everything in perspective…..
Just in the last month, HRC campaign mgr. was caught striking a deal with columbia trade pact, a lawsuit in ca. was posponed until after the elections for illegal campagin contributions, HRC was caught lying on bosnia and the dying mother & baby in ohio, and recently threatened to "obliterate" iran. Obama used the word "bitter" and his former pastor is volitile. Is the american public so influenced by biased media that they can't form an opinion they own?

This election is like Nixon's first win. Rockefeller was on his heels saying Nixon couldn't win. Interviewed after the nomination Rockefeller said testily, "Yes, Nixon can win. Any Republican can win this November."

No need to dig for dirt. Hillary's support of the gas tax moratorium is irresponsible pandering to voters who don't understand supply and demand. Obama has the courage to take a potentially unpopular but economically responsible stand.

The Wright flap is damaging. Sure. An attempt to aggravate racist suspicions against Obama. Something he needs to deal with. His first attempt was good, but there is plenty of more work to be done. Of course there is no substance here, but Wright may last longer than the even less substantial Paula Jones.

"Baggage?" Let's see. Are we talking leather here? Cattle futures must be good for something besides enriching poor politicians.

It depresses me to read some of these ignorant posts. If people read the papers and watch the political media, but still promote Hillary for President, then they are rather very thick or they are putting their heads in the sand. Hillary's judgement - consistently wrong - (i.e. Bosnia snipers, voting Yes to Iraq war; agreeing to giving NY state illegal immigrants drivers' licenses, voting in favor of NAFTA , offering $20 -$30 savings on your gas usage this summer as she once again voted "me too' following Senator McCain, an aging patriot that is losing touch more and more each day)….

I want to add that in my opinion, Reverend Wright the bigot who enjoy hating everything and everyone, is not the reason Obama is losing votes - Its just that too many whites will not vote for a black man, even if that black mans soul is 'whiter' than theirs.

I have never seen so much foolishness in my life. War left and right and more to come, gas price very high with a solution that is going to make the current situation worth, US economy in recession; please tell me, is this the definition of democracy? Where are the smart people in this country? How is it so right for the voters all this and so wrong for the country? Do Americans love their country? How?

DOESN'T SHE WISH.

WE PROMISE HE WOULD NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

HE IS NOT A CLINTON.

Clinton is a liar. She is manipulative, narcissistic and dishonest to the core.

Hey Charlotte: the same thing that happened to hers in Penn.
C'mon she's done, like dinner.

SHE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT CHEATING.

END OF STORY.

WE WILL NOT STAND FOR ANOTHER BOUT WITH CHADS.

No chance in hell for Clinton. Any gain or lead she gets is the result of a recent and temporary lie.

She's a liar and a be-otch. We won't have her for prez. Sorry to all you delusional folks who can't seem to get by the fact that she's a woman and a Clinton, so should be a leader.

GASP!

It doesn't matter if he wins NC because his goose is already cooked!

This guy is not representative of the American population and the primary results have shown that time and again.

Bye bye Obama!!!

Obama voters unite!

GO HILARY!

Hillary Rocks and she will win NC and Indiana and be the next president of the United States. What a grand day that will be.

Say goodbye to Obama!

Goodbye Obama

Clinton is gaining ground through no credit of her own. It's simply that the Jeremy Wright episode has hurt Obama, through no fault of his own. Oh, I shouldn't forget: Clinton's gang of smear experts did dig up some old stories to discredit Obama. C'mon Americans, don't fall for those old tricks. Think with your head and your heart.

Hey Clinton supporters what ever happened to "A win is a win", news flash she can't afford to loose any of the remaining primaries!

Clinton will not win NC and the media needs to get used to the idea. why are they not reporting on Paul vs Clinton saga? cowards. They have been threatened by the Clinton lawyers but we are standing behind Obama all the way and he is getting the nomination.

THIS is the American way? Lying and cheating your way to the top?

Congratulations Hillary..

Just saw a video about Hillary vs. Peter Paul case on YouTube. I am beginning to lean away from Hillary as I see too much scandal surrounding this candidate. Why is CNN not exposing this to the general public?

So let me get this straight. When Hillary wins PA by 9 its a "Huge Win" but when Obama leads NC by 9 it means he's slipping? Media bias? perhaps.

Secondly, why is it that one week after Wright spoke he is still front page news??? Wright's goal was to destroy Obama's chances but he cant do it on his own. He needs CNN, Fox and MSNBCs help. They seem more than happy to oblige.

Who is Peter Paul? I keep hearing his name. Why is Hillary facing some kind of trial in November? Why isn't this on the news?

Obama is going to win BIG in NC!!! Don't be confused with all that crazy hype about HiLiary. She's lying about getting the gas tax removed, she knows it will never get the votes but she says it anyway to make those who can't think for themselves feel better..awww, isn't that sweet. That's how we ended up with GW in the white house and having a depression-era economy–because of non-thinking people! This time the best MAN is going to win!

With the Clinton name being out there for 20 yrs or more.. You would have thought the Billary team would have had this state wrapped up.. It only shows that the People are tired of the Clintons.

So, Go Obama. We are going to bring NC to your back door..

This 'war" between Clinton and Obama needs to stop. I can not fathom the idea of another Republican winning, but the way the dems are fighting I would not be surprised.

president obama all way to the wh

Hilary has the heart of a demon, Obama's is pure

This is depressing… poor Obama has to fight against his own big lying mouth, his wife's big anit-American mouth, the great Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Rev. Wright, his own spiritual advisor!

This is NOT fair!

Please Obamamites and all media, please help the poor downtrodden Obama!

HILLARY FOREVER!

rosebow
you are a racist and cnn should throw you out of the bus

what has happen to all the things that Hillary has said wrong or not sure ? do we remember them, are their so many that we have start to expect them

it could well be that Hillary has calculated the politics well enough to know that putting forward this stupid program will win her votes, even if it does nothing for the people she is duping into voting for her. It's not going to lower the after-tax cost of gas by much, if anything. It will serve as a place holder for taking real action to meaningfully help these voters. The awful irony of it is that her whole posture is premised on a deep disrespect for her audience (they are too stupid to notice that she's hoodwinking them) while Obama is going to get slammed by them for treating them with enough respect to be honest about this proposal. Gotta love politics.

It is amazing to me that people are voting for someone who has consistently lied ("misspoken"). Do you think Clinton will suddenly become truthful once she is in the White House? If you think Bush's lies have been destructive to this country, wait for Clinton. Anyone who would lie about something as trivial as "sniper fire" will definitely lie about more important things, like she already has about NAFTA.

Go Obama! At least he has been honest with the public about his personal struggles, his imperfections and the like. He is a real person, and he is the first politician in my lifetime that has inspired hope!

WAKE UP YOU OBAMA PEOPLE - scream about the coverup and failure of the networks to report on the Paul vs Clinton court case-this is a MAJOR coverup that they are not covering-how did the Clintons get a judge or the media to put the squash on this explosive on going story that would positively be more devastating than the Rev Wright story was for barack.

Hillary does not have a genuine bone in her, she'll say what ever and do what ever, no matter what she perceives she has to do to win; like sniper fire.

Charolette and all of you who believe Obama has a LOT OF STUFF in his closet. You better try getting your news from somewhere besides talk radio or network news. Hill and Bill are neck deep in all manner of shady dealings. The McCaininites will let you know all about, if after she wins the nom. I'm a white granny from alabamy . If I can get Obama, why can't the rest of you. We were the ones with the race issue,remember?

Yes it is over no matter who wins or loses. i am an obama supporter but I think Clinton should stay in as long as she feels she wants to thru the next next few primaries. We all know that is the situation had been reversed she and her supporters would have screamed and jumped up and down for him to get out but when all contest are over and if he gets the nomination she can't yell foul and that she would have won if she had been allowed to stay in longer.

Alot of republicans will be voting for obama in nc and indiana.

Real Clear Politics latest data on the race:

North Carolina
Rasmussen - Obama +9
Insider Advantage - Obama +5
Zogby - Obama +9
Research 2000 - Obama +7

Why does CNN support distortions of the facts?

Hopefully Hillary can pull if off.

Why are the pundits saying she is gaining on Barack when the polls are not reflecting a gain. I just pray to God that the American people are smarting that I think they are (especially in the upcoming primary states). Hillary is counting on them being ignorant. That is what all the old type politicians count on — that the voters are less informed than the politician. However, I have come to the conclusion that going to D.C. makes these politician lose whatever brains they had before they went there. Just listen for about an hour when they are holding hearings. It is really quite unbelievable as to the stupid things they say and do.

Senator Clinton should be cutting her lead using By Any Means Possible: One of her supporters invited Dr. Wright to the National Press Club and a group of Clinton women called Democrats in NC and told people the were not registered to vote. Go the Fox Website and click Spike Lee and listen to the second story on the phone calls. Apparently some of the women previously worked President Clinton- the Clintons are back at it- on top of their game of deceit.

its a sad day that the american people cant see beyond there noses
it sounds like they have enjoyed the last 7 yrs do they think the maccains and mc clintons are going to disrubet there good thing for the american people.
to bad some of the cnn news staff are so biased and just report the news instead of there opinion.
google peterpaul.com and read it if only half is true this is very scary.

For some days now, all headlines have been" Clinton gaining on Obama" with Obama leading with 9 points. The 9 points has not changed, in fact some report 6 and 7 points. When is Cliton really going to gain on Obama?

hire the most experienced .

Real Relief, Not Gimmicks. Obama/Sebelius '08

Hillary should be McCain's VP. They are good friends and of like mind in most situations: supported the war, supported NAFTA, support gas tax holiday, very compatible. As it is, Clinton has no chance to win NC. Obama lost PA by 9 points, PA was one of the oldest states that was 89% white and 38% over 65. NC has a democratic voter base that is 40% black and is 17th youngest state vs PA as 2nd oldest.

Obama-Clinton. All this rhetoric about what really amounts to personality differences. They share the same Party views.
Lets make our democratic decision and then give full support
to whomever that may be.

Isn't wonderful how the Obamamaniacs are still playing the race card. Gees get a grip…not everyone can buy into this guys line of BS. And looking at his Senate voting record it looks weak on military support and very weak on support for our intelligence services. Danger! Support Liberty, Defend Freedom — Defeat Obama!

CNN, how about "Obama leading by 9 % in recent polls"? Or Hillary is 9% behind Obama in recent pools?

Is CNN afraid of truth?

End the two family dynasty system of Bush -Clinton-Bush

The world needs Obama not another Clinton

CNN and the rest of the Billary Hillbillies will try to steal this for Hillary but don't worry America for the youth shall set you freeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08

The truth of the matter is unless we come together and choose the best democratic candidate, you can bet your money the next president will be that good old republican "John Mccain"

SOME PEOPLE HAVE A MATH PROBLEM. $20-@30 SAVINGS ON GAS IS ABOUT $25.00 A DAY TO TRUCKERS - WHO HAUL OUR FOOD - GO HILLARY

Hillary may actually win North Carolina. If not she is gonna come pretty close. She will win in Indiana, and continue to the next primaries. Lets just let the process flow and see what happens. To ME an exaggeration(bosnia) is far worse than an obvious moral flaw(rev wright).

Clintons are liars. She claims to be ready on day one. She was not even ready for her presidential campaign, thats why she fell behind in the delegate count. Hillary is the most fake candidate of all times.

The more people learn about Obama, the more they begin to realize he's not some black JFK sent from Heaven to unite this county. He's doing more to divide the American people than anyone since desegregation.

If all the earlier primaries were held again today, I have no doubt that Clinton would be the frontrunner by far. I have nothing but contempt for Hillary Clinton as well, but I'll be voting for her in the NC primaries : an Obama presidency would run this country, and I can only hope more people start seeing through Obama's vauge rhetoric and learn what kind of sleezy politician he really is.

Clinton is doing her usual. Last minute lies to struggling voters giving them false hope of something she knows she will not deliver. At least Obama gives them enough respect to be truthful and not blow smoke up their butt like Clinton. She is disgusting!

Hillary will win in both states, NC and Indiana. Because she is electable. And that's all that matters.

this is what i like to see! operation chaos in FULL EFFECT! you can do it Hillary! you can do IT! please!! for the love of America! the republicans need you more than ever!

Dumocrats!!!!!!!!

Real fighter is Obama. He is the hope for America and for the world. And news media should get this one first.

I think you are all missing the point by taking aim at one another over Hillary vs Obama. The important thing is that for the first time in American History, the white Males Aristocracy is not the ONLY choice on the ballot. That millions of new voters have registered and millions more are not only empowered to vote, but excited to vote in this primary and this year's election. The American people CARE, finally, about their government, and feel like they have a chance to do something about it.

Both candidates have so much to bring to the table and will work to bring sweeping changes to our country, changes that we have needed for 8 years too long.

I thought that Mc cain had it all wrapped up. Didn;t they declare him the winner of the nomination months ago.
Obama is a proven Muslim sleeper agent. Rev. Wright blew the plans because he felt like Baracacrak was too much of an Uncle Tom, steppin' and fletching for mr and mrs white america.
WRIGHT LIVES IN A MULTI-MILION DOLLAR HOME. I WISH THAT AMERICA WOULD BE THAT UN-FAIR TO ME….WHAT A CROCK OF STINKY CABBAGE.

We had Hillary in the white house 8 yrears ago.. Look what happen then.. If she was a fighter, she would have faught Monica for her husband!

Nice try CNN, but Obama is going to win by double digits no matter how much you try to dampen his NC momentum.

Mr. Wrirgt has given all the haters and racists a good cover to bring down a good man , Mr. Obama .

But not this time because most good people in America will do the right thing.

One may ask the question about the way and when some stories get so much news coverage.Why some people think that all we need to know is the drit.

I no longer watch CNN!

The Clinton Network!

Even when she looses they claim she is winning!

What a bunch of DORKS

Can't stand onesidedness!

I am a Ron Paul's supporter. After watching his interview, I am voting for Obama on Tuesday.

We need Ron Paul in US..not these McCains, Hillaries and Obamas…

However, I will vote for Obama just because Ron Paul believes that Obama's foreign policy is better than other 2s…or rather..Others 2s are WORSE than Obama

Charlotte, I took you up on your challenge to "Google it" and your "facts" are hilarious! Do you really consider a homemade site by some hack that throws out accusations without any "real" sources as credible?

I guess with "critical thinkers" like this, it's no surprise that Bush got in……………TWICE!!

i'm neutral in this race.. but i REALLY hope obama wins. if hillary somehow gets the nomination…. the majority of dems will feel disenfrachised and will be less likely to come out to the polls… no more republicans in the white house!!!!

CNN,

ALL you reporting how Obama has a problem to connect with blue-collar people.

How come Clinton HAS A BIG PROBLEM to connect with educated people, college educated people, young people, young generation and with the African-American people?
Americans knows the truth, the world KNOWS the truth, why are you disrespecting yourself by mis-leading reporting?

Given how the Clintons defiled the White House last time, I am not anxious to give them another go at it.

McCain? If you liked Bush's economic and foreign policies, be my guest.

Obama represents the only hope we have of uniting to solve the real issues facing us.

i agree gary

Please please Obama - start listening to your followers and start talking about the peter-paul story. It will outshine your dealings with Wright in shear stupidity alone.

And endorse that phoney video too. Oh and the one with a dog getting hit in the face with a pie.

go for it!

Clinton is tougher than Obama. That's what America needs during these tough times. A tough president with real solutions. Rev Wright may have been right. Obama is just saying stuff to get elected. Clinton has been around for so long, we know what she stands for. By the way what does Obama stand for ?

I consider my self as open minded person and Democrat. I will never vote for Obama in November. Beside his speaches of hope what else he has to offer us. I can not beleive that people do not see thru him. MNSBC, CNN and other main stream media have been protecting him for the begining.

Hillary 08
If not Hillary then Nader or McCain

I hope Hillary will run as an independent if she does not get nomination.

SHE WILL NEVER, EVER BE PRESIDENT, OUGHT TO DROP OUT NOW AND SAVE HERSELF THE SHAME OF LOOSING LATER

This race is over, Obama won.
There is no mathematical way the HRC can win the nomination.

yeah, let's vote for a manipulative candidate who is dishonest and still plays the same old political game that get's nothing done. Hillary has her own agenda and incase you haven't caught on, she's not going to change anything the way Obama can.

Here are the facts:
Obama has the popular vote (even counting Florida). Obama leads in total delegates and won more states.

So if Clinton does win - it will be decided by super delegates and not the popular vote - the will of the people.

What will be her justification for that at the convention? I guess she will continue to tell stories, more lies, and once again flip flop from her views; this time on the electorial college and "fighting" for the will of the people.

Let's get this over already. Hillary is the most electable candidate at this stage of the game despite what Pelosi, Richardson, and other inexperienced politicians think. I don't want to knock on Obama too much for I think he has potential to become our president one day, but now now, especially when we have a $4 trillion deficit. If he becomes our president, the Democrats would ultimately become an inexperienced party. I am an Independant and these are my views.

CNN Get your act together, you're reporting the results incorrectly. Results are as follows on 5/3/08:

OBAMA: 1747 = 1493 pledged delegates + 254 superdelegates.
CLINTON: 1607 = 1333 pledged delegates + 274 superdelegates.

CLINTON IS BEHIND by 140 total dels, GET OVER IT!!!!

OBAMA NEEDS 278 additional dels to win
CLINTON needs 418 additional dels to win

CNN publish this to give the people accurate information to make good decisions

You go, girl!

People are startign to see Obama for who he really is instead of who he wants you to think he is.Now folks are finally seeing Hillary for who she has always been.Go HILLARY!!!

This is the first time in my voting life my vote will actually count in a primary.

This Tuesday I am going to do something I swore I would never do : vote for Hillary Clinton in the NC primaries. As a registered independent, I am going to use my vote to help the "lesser evil" among the two candidates.

Obama's poll numbers are slipping because people are FINALLY beginning to realize what kind of person he is. He has done more to divide this country than anyone since desegregation, and an Obama presidency would be the beginning of the end of this country.

Just because you hate Bush don't vote for someone equally elitist and, yes, racist. Instead of asking why blue collar whites won't vote for Obama (and 40% would), ask why only 8% of ALL blacks won't vote for Clinton. Who's racist now?

Say, "NO" to McSame! Reject the Billary!! Vote 4 Barack (Who's Sane) Obama!!!

Personally - I think Clinton closed the gap greatly. Wasn't she suppose to lose by 15-20 points? Too bad, so sad for Obama. If he would have stayed ahead by that much - the race would have been over. But he can't put Hillary away.

Hillary '08!

Tar Heels are behind you, Obama!

Sworn depositions start in May! We can spend a month on Wright but not talk about this? What about the plant Bill closed in Indiana? What about the Washington Post review of "the War Room" that talks about the "comments about the people of Indiana". Well CNN what have you to say for yourselves?

Billary has run an awful, disgusting campaign - she's a liar, a cheat
Oh - and she's relying on igorant, uneducated, racist old people to win her the nomination - how encouraging for our incredibly stupid political process in this country

In her new ad Hillary says she has bold ideas… she has plans for this country… she said it's going to take a fighter to meet this country's challenges…

The only candidate that I have seen bloodied and bruised and coming back stronger is Obama… and he didn't even say "you should see the other guy (gal)"

He is the essence of a leader who will fight for us - the American people!

Looks like CNN doesn't like my post criticizing their one-sided reporting. Why else did CNN dump my post twice? Is CNN for real, or is it just a front for Clinton's fantasy land?

WE'VE HAD THE CLINTONS FOR 16 YEARS… THESE SAME OLD POLITICS NEED TO BE STOPPPPPED/ CHANNNNNGED !!!!!!…..SINCE WHEN DOES AMERICA GET LEAD BY A FATHER AND A SON…

NOW WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A HUSBAND AND A WIFE…????

GET REAL PEOPLE…THIS NEEDS TO ChANGE>>>>…….

WE ARE NOT READY TO ADD 4 MORE YEARS TO THE 16 YEARS THAT THE CLINTONS HAVE BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE DOING NOTHING BUT STINKIY SCANDALS

It becomes more evident to me every day that CNN is nothing more than a propaganda network for the establishment. What's encouraging to me is that I am not the only one to see through their facade. More and more people I talk to have reached the same conclusion that CNN is nothing but FOX Lite.

The story hasn't changed. Any candidate that can't win the swing states of Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc. can't win in November.

@Charlotte

"What happened to his NC landslide victory?"

What happened to Hillarys landslide victory in Pa?

The media talked about that 9.4% victory for Hillary in Pa as a BIG victory.

She led in Pa with over 20% and closed with 9% and it was a big victory.

I bet that if Obama only wins by 9% it will be a BIG victory BUT for Hillary.

I see the double standard coming.

Here's the deal. If Obama doesn not get the nomination, Dems lose the white house and here's why. The African American community will feel put off, and rightfully so. Consequently, even if 50% of them stay home in November, Clinton loses by the margin of error.

Go Obama!!!!!

HIllary is so fake and will say whatever she think the voters want to hear! Atleast Obama is honest!
Paul vs Clinton! Read about it!

"Rich people — God bless us" –Hillary Clinton

who's elitist?

obama'o8/'12!!!

I hope Obama wins both states, maybe this thing will end. Hillary is not to be trusted, she knows the gas tax thing is a fraud, if someone said we need each american to grt $5000.00each she would promise it. wake up people. GO OBAMA.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be even closer. Zogby's (May 1-2) poll is an outlier.

Hillary is our best chance at beating McCain. Go Hillary !!!

How sad that the American people may actually vote for such a liar, conniving, hateful person that is HRC. Do you really want Bill roaming the WH again? Do we really need more of the divide politics of the Clinton/Bush era. 16 years of this is enough. America deserves much better than these people, better than McNuts also….

Go Obama — our best hope for a sane future!

Hillary Clinton WILL BE the nominee. Obama can't win the states the big states. His double digit number of states are mostly "red" states. Get over it, Obamacans.

Seems like CNN is getting delusional and repeat lies which HRC campaign is spreading around. re not you guys tired by yourself?

Obama will be the president. There will be two names on the ballot not three.

Don't give up Hillary !!!!

If everyone knew all about the fraud civil lawsuit Paul v Hilliary Clinton that the news media and the judge don't want you to know about. It remains to be seen what the voters will think of Hillary. go to peterfpaul.com and read all that you can about the case. Hillary is called a fraudulent Senator.

HILLARY/BARACK TICKET
LETS DO IT AMERICA
HISTORY CAN BE MADE, LETS PRESS ON TO VICTORY
BE AS ONE

I hope that Obama will win.

In Europe we believe that he will make a real difference in US foreign policy and he will be a respectful leader. I strongly believe that he will improve Americas reputation at this area.
He seems also more honest than Hillary which seems that she is acting

hillary still has the same mathematical long shot she did nearly three months ago.

nothing has changed.

time for her to bow out.

What is Howard Dean & the DNC doing about Michigan & Florida ???

Are they waiting for a lawsuit ??? The race is so close, people from Michigan & Florida deserve a say.

OF COURSE!!!!
VICTIRY WILL BE OURS……GO HILLARY!!!
NORTH CAROLINA FOR HILLARY…!!!!

The people of North Carolina are starting to see Obama for who he really is and seeing Clinton is the right choice for our country!

Clinton '08!

I would like to know what the Hill/Billy supporters are smoking today.

I might wantto try some of it!!!

Go ahead!! and remove this comment! the media -CNN, FOX, ABC are pathetic! stop sholving Hillary on voters throat!!. UNITED STATES can do better than Argentina or German period!. I guess when we talk about the lobbists think about the media! which has evolved to be Hillary's hit men!! or women

Clinton has stayed for over three decades with a cheating husband, and an impeached president who brought dishonour to the White House. That seems match, checkmate with the Wright "scandel".

Why is Wright the picture on this blog?? Is he running for president. CNN has sunk so low…

No chance…Obama has NC but Hillary can stay in NC and out of Indiana and hope….Don't forget we have had early voting going before Rev Wright episode…so Obama will take NC with ease!!!

charlott
the money barack took was from employes who worked gas stations and jobs like that why in the hell don't you tell the whole thing and hill took mtwice as much from the same people. sad you stoop to her level
one thing to it she is rich sand you will still be one of us little people

Hillary is a socialist and will do nothing but ruin our country. She plays dirty politics, takes and gives bribes, and lies alot.

It's time for a honest government.

Obama 08′

HILLARY CLINTON depends on the ignorant, as Bill Clinton puts it, "Walmart democrats". Normal folk call these people Blue-Collar workers. But then, CLINTONS are ELITISTS !!!

You're gonna get Skittled. Obama..

I'm just not falling for the gas tax holiday bait. We're tired of politicians trying to manipulate us. We let it happen because we were scared and trusted those politicians to take care of our interests. Now we understand the consequences, and that's why we are changing the electoral map.

a win is a win
GOBAMA!!!

Obama for President, Nancy Pelosi for Vice President. Go, go, go.

GO HIL
