CNN

As if it mattered.

Let the healing begin.

Clinton no longer has the popular vote argument (even with Florida and Michigan). She has canceled all her appearances tomorrow. Looks like it could be over.

I think/hope that Obama will offer the VP to her (doubt she would take it) or one of her supporters (Evan Byah?).

I saw McCain talk about the right-wind nutjobs he would put on the judiciary today. Shivers...

Scott, evidently education skipped you because you can't even spell lying. It's over!

by saying that you, a democratic voter, will not vote for obama if he wins... isn't that just handing the republicans the presidency? and isnt that what we are trying to get rid of?
just a thought....
dont be a sore loser...

Did I hear CNN's John King and Wolf Blitzer claiming voter fraud in Gary?

If Obama wins, I'm gonna laugh my behind off... Especially after Hillary has given a victory speech.

I am a Hillary supporter and if she isn't the nominee, I will either write her name in or vote for McCain. The Obama voters have been the rudest I have ever seen and on Sodahead, if you were not for Obama, you were called a racist. This race has split the party apart and set race relations back 45 years. I hope Obama and his wife think it was worth the run, because they will not win the general. They lost at least half of Clinton's supporters.

Hillary has not had anything original. She always take other people ideals and add to it to try and convince herself that it is hers. She took McCain gas tax ideal and tried to claim it was her solutions. This is so sad.

Now it's time for Rocky and Goldie locks to step aside.

Why are the numbers going up and down? Around 10:50PM CST CNN reported Obama had 568,156 votes in Indiana. At 11:120PM CST CNN reported Obama had a little over 564,000 votes in Indiana. Now at 11:37PM CST CNN is reporting Obama has 589,888. Help me understand... Oh and Hillary shot up from 588,823 to 606,497?!!

25% of the Republican voters showed up in NC and IN just to vote AGAINST McCain.

All I can say is: LOL!

OBAMA 08 (and you know it!)

To all of you who say Obama can't win in the general, I have only one thing to say. He sure as hell can't win if the Hillary supporters who call themselves democrats vote for McCain out of some silly protest! Let go of your own ego and do what's best for the party and the country. Vote democrat in November, regardless of who the candidate is.

Think twice before voting for a Clinton, or better yet, Google Clinton's
and Google Clinton's Outsourcing. These people make 'Deals" on
selling our jobs while campaigning for their own personal gain.
Ask Penn?

Let the nuns vote!! This is ridiculos that longstanding citizens of the state cannot vote!!!

what's up with this from one of the South Bend news blogs? Anybody know?

This is by far the most interesting night we've seen in a while. John King just beat me to the news that I was going to share. 56% now in Lake County, Obama with

I'm very surprised that Obama has done so well in Indiana despite the fact that the demographics overwhelmingly favor Clinton. I think this shows that the voters are finally voting on the issues. I want to adress all the Clinton voters that say they would NOT vote for Senator Obama if he were the Democrat nominee. Hillary has said time and time again she will do whatever it takes to get Obama elected if he were the nominee, are you really going to undermind the same candidate your so in love with? Are you really willing to sacrifice the well being of our country just to prove a point, and get back against Barack Obama. How immature are you? How can you put your kids future in the hands of the second George W. Bush? Please consider what is at stake here people, our futures, and the future of this great country.

Spin, Spin, Spin – Hillary is sounding more and more like Bush and the hardcore Hillary supporters comments scare me to death.

HILLBILLIES FOR HILLARY! YEA HA!

I guess since Bush tried to grant amnesty to them darn mexicans, the Bush hillbillies crossed over to Hillary. They wouldn't do for the war, or the economy, or the trashing of the constitution or the outsourcing of their 'Get er done' jobs, but thank god for good old fashioned racism!

Get a clue hillbillies!

Hillary will not ask for a recount if she loses the state of Indiana. The candidate who asks for a recount must foot the bill...she has no money to make that happen.

Hillary is having a BIG MEETING WITH THE SUPERDELEGATES
TODAY. Threaten, beg, and remind them how much they owe her.
Oh, My, Oh my.

I hope nothing fishy is going on in Lake County. It will destroy the Democratic party if fraud is found going on there.

mgoody: I would urge you to look at both sides. There have been quite a bit of negative attacks from the Clinton side as well. This is not a one-sided issue. There is much bad blood between candidates.

I will call this Chicago style ppolitics and more of the same if Obama gets this state because of Lake County. I saw his handouts in Lake County, they were so negative and misbelieving that I couldn't believe it. I bet this is how he has been getting a free ride with the race card this entire election season.

Gotta love the Hillbots here crying in their spilt milk about how Obama can't win in November.

You clowns do not get it, it is YOUR JUDGEMENT THAT IS FLAWED. You backed a LOSER. Your opinion and judge of future events shows you do not know what you are talking about.

Hillbots = So impotent, so wrong. so long.

1. The people that say they won't vote for Obama won't vote democratic in November anyway. People are sick of reading your overblown comments in message boards like these. Get over yourself. See the comments below.

2. Isn't it ironic that "change" is Obama's central message when his rhetoric has stayed consistent. Hillary's message changes every day. Maybe she should steal Obama's message again and run with it.

3. This race is done. Stick a fork in it. It will be a pleasure watching Clinton forego a graceful exit. She is now set for public humiliation. Get out now. Save yourself. Save the party.

Hillary was saying she will go all the way tonight only to get her 5 million back. She is even offering people a gas tax break so they can send to her campaign that she knows she can not win under any circumstances now.
She would need to get 85% of all remaining contests to tie him in the popular vote and pledged democrats.

Time for her to talk with Obama and try to convert him to the dark side now as she and Bill have been for years .. they will try to cut some deal and make him a Washington insider. Now it will get juicy, start reading between the lines people.

If we can't trust Hillary to follow her OWN PARTY'S RULES and she keeps pleading for Michigan and Florida to be counted then how can we trust her to follow any LAWS of the US? Do not be fooled by her screams that it is undemocratic to "take away the vote" from Michigan and Florida. It was and is a political party nomination, not an election!

nice recap! you could have briefed larry during the commercial though. the rest of us know whats going on.

The information below is from the Northwest Indiana Times.
These numbers are later than yours.

The first totals from Lake County,
316 precincts out of 561 reporting.

Almost all of Gary and Merrillville and portion of Munster primarily make up these numbers, plus Lake Station, East Chicago:

Lake county
Democratic candidates
President of the
United States
Barack Obama 46,759
Hillary Clinton 25,100

Maybe you're right Brent; but if HRC is able to somehow pull this out I'll be sporting a Nader sticker. Fact is, unless Hill gets the nomination because of a catastrophic Obama meltdown, she won't beat McCain either. I'd bet the house.

Lake County is SUSPECT!

Pretty sure we will see an Obama/Clinton ticket in the fall

I cannot believe how and when the media is so against Hillary. I hope and pray that Hillary makes the people recount those votes. Why is CNN electing the president of the United States? I have never seen so one sided reporting as I have this time. What will it be like in November when their person gets beat and we have another 8 years of the same that we have had. Remember what we got 8 years ago because we let someone elect the president. Wake up America you will not know America after 2 or 3 years.

HILLARY JUST CANCELLED ALL HER T.V. APPERANCES AND PUBLIC STOPS FOR TOMMORROW. THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN. WATCH THE SUPERS GO NUTS, TOMMORROW. DID YOU SEE BILLS FACE, HE WAS DONE. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE THREW WATER ON HILLARY AND STARTED SIINGING THE WICKET WITCH IS DEAD.

why dosnt obama just tell the American people as to who is telling the whole truth and facing up to all the" political truths "thrown at him?do you Americans want a honest president or a politically oriented one?
i am an Indian and would always choose a honest man/woman if we had one.

This is huge.
Obama currently has over 75% of the vote in this county, with roughly 30% of the precincts reporting in. That may not seem like a lot, but the margin of votes is HUGE: 27,000 to 9,000.

The reason for the delay in this county was so that Hillary could have a 'victory' speech before the results of that county (that would close the gap between her and Obama)

What's the delay? I suspect it is corruption. Is this how Obama expects to win – by rigging the ballots? Is the Black community of Lake County behind this? A full invesigation of this outright voter fraud is needed. What a disgrace and who do they think we are? A bunch of idiots?

Yeah....Obama in '08.....He is going to be the nominee!! all right...finally! Tim Russer just said it! Hillary be a good democrat and step down. Michigan and Florida didn't follow the rules...I'm sure if it was reverse HIllary would be saying Obama should step down, so HIllary be a woman and step down. We need to bring our party back together.

Again-mgoody- you must be one of the "uneducated" voters CNN always talks about.. stay but don't cry when you get more money next year from tax credits..

Yes.. We.. Can....

All of you black voters will get knock out in November. McCain will win the white house. That's we call pay back time to you black voters. Today maybe your day but not in November.

I am going to laugh my behind off if Obama wins Indiana!!! Hilary go home! The U.S. needs Obama!

Obama 08!

they are counting the votes...give them some time. Why must everything be bad when it not good for HIllary. She needs to step down and our democratic party unite!!

The pro-Obama posts are getting out of hand. We need to be a little more like the man himself. Obama takes the high road (and yea he has gone negative, but he has had to in response to Hillary. He cant be a doormat either.) But, bottom line, we all need to come together in the Fall. Just realize how your posts may push people away from the guy you support. There's my getalong speech.

Obama 08

Well, regardless of who wins tonight (no matter how you slice it) the Dems are losing it. Does America really understand this process? Does everyone remember how they kept asking themselves how Bush (Jr.) won not once, but twice?

While I hate to admit it, Obama will never be elected this go around. The voters (the ones that vote that is) are going to put McCain in office out of spite.

Lichtenstein here I come....

don't make this a black white thing. I don't like seeing you break down %white %black %women %men % elderly. We are all people and we want Obama to win!!

Thank you N.C. for supporting Obama..."YES WE CAN" for the sake of our Dem. party and our country...without HOPE...we're left with nothing but DESPAIR.

Wow! Obama gaining now at 51-49....Yesssss!

If he cant even stand the pressure now from Hillary and the media....How can he handle John McCain and the Republican party? This is hilarious, just how delusional you obama supporters are! Wake up, people! It's like your in the fog of "change", well do you know just what that "change" is all about? Joke's on you "If" he wins in Nov. You might not like the "change" he's gonna dish out at you!

The bitterness of Clinton supporters is sad. Saying they won't vote for Obama – or won't vote at all – is sour grapes. Obama said it tonight: this is the Democratic party, not the Obama or Clinton party. Unity is what is needed if the Dems are going to win in November; support your party and don't let the loss of your candidate allow another Bush term to happen...

Hillary, as the more experienced candidate, should be the nominee. It is painfully obvious.

Some of us well educated people would like to hear fair and balanced reporting from CNN. Please keep in mind the fact that no one has reached the magic number making them the candidate – so quite calling the race before the convention.

I would like my Michigan vote to count! Perhaps if super delegates were an all or nothing deal for the winner of their state we could end this stalemate.

There should be praise for both sides as they both have run a fantastic race: bringing out more voters than many national elections. How about praising rather than tearing down the candidates and inventing controversy where none would otherwise exists.

CNN are you aware of the power of your influence on this race? Your speculations and opinions are causing more divisions than would naturally exist in this race.

Mgoody. I'm a Obama support and I'm loyal but I would vote for Hilliary. Please do not beleive all the other blogger. They might not be a true Dem could be Rep. Please we all want the same thing.

hillary is a heck of a fighter, she has been knocked down 2 or three times and got back up, but this round she has recieved a huge standing 8 count and any fight judge has to wonder if the refs (superdelegates) are gonna stop the fight. i would.

HILLARY '08!!

This is a very sad day in America. The election has obviously been rigged to favor Obama. All of us, Obama and Hillary supporters, need to take a stand on this. I've lost faith in my country - it appears our elections are just as crooked as those in third world countries - how very very sad.

ONLY A 20,000 vote difference now. No landslide here for Clinton. No winner called yet. OBAMA 08'

This is my first blog ever. Hats off to CNN for trying to get the story straight when all of network projected early in Indiana. Whatever happens, CNN is the best! BTW, John King is the REAL King of CNN! Job well done.

I think Obama just won INDIANA!!!!! The liar and cheater can go home and cry with Bill and Chelsea

Hillary please GO HOME!!!!

Obama wins. America loses.
Clinton wins. America loses a bit less.
McCain wins. America goes to sleep.

Good for Barack Obama with a great win in North Carolina!!

And, it would appear that there is still time to win that extra catch-up vote in and around Gary - All that is needed is an extra 40,000 votes to get Barack up to Hillary. Wouldn't that upset be something?

Superdelegates take note - Obama is on the way up. I believe Sen. Clinton should plan on continuing her career in the Senate for the duration. She has been a formidable opponent, and has a lot of potential to offer her services for the good of the people through her position in the Senate. Thank you Hillary, for being such a good sport and bowing out at this juncture.

You go Barack Obama!!!

mgoody, hillary is a hell of a fighter my sweet little tootsie. She's one hell of a liar! and a cheater!

If I wanted a perfect person for President I will pretend to forget all the things that have happen with Obama in the past week and vote for him but the fact that he too is not perfect , then worst of all has NO RECORD ON ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING except for telling me he wants to change America, he wants to change the way things work in washington etc please then don't count on my vote. Atleast I know what McCain has done in the past, I believe he will stick to his believe and for that he gets my vote.

If Obama does not win Indiana, He again could not put her away. I will say that Hillary is a hell of a fighter. She is a very strong woman. The one thing you can say about me is that I am loyal. I will not vote for Obama. I will stay home for the first time in my life. I just can't bring myself to vote for him and a lot of other people I know WILL be staying home. I think most of you Obama fans have been very rude, mean and nasty. No issues just personal attacks.Maybe it says something about Obama.

I am a obama supporter but If cnn thinks that he will carry 60% of the lake county vote they are mistaken. yes, Gary is a large city and mostly african american but Hilary Clinton covered every city in our county and east chicago indiana is either hispanic or ethnic senior citizen which is a hilary demograhic. Im from Hammond and I would be shocked if clinton didnt carry the vote as her support has been overwhelming. The Rev wright commercials were not as prevelent as reported. Obama might not even win the county and it would be strickly on lack of campaining.

Indiana goes to -HILLARY!!!
And she's the candidate that can beat McCain handily. Why?
Answers: Florida,Michigan,Ohio, Pennsylvania. Another answer:
I am not voting for NObama if he gets nominated. I live in Illinois. If he cannot help his constituents here in Illinois, how can he help the nation? Nothing substantial done in his own backyard , just the good old rhetoric and platitude.

Obama fans dont get it...Obama will never win it all.

Im from Gary and i know that the issue there is jobs Inland Steel, U.S Steel are your core base of buisness in that city that has turned there backs on the people of Gary and the city development . By Hilary coming to the city and all that is said over drinks is that we need to stop out sourceing our jobs meant nothing to the core citizen of Gary . The state goverment has turned its back on the city and its time for change and it start tonight .

hmmm .. seems the most accurate pollster .. is the Zogby Tracking .. their polling results were same as the results today ... they showed Obama winning by over 10 points in N.C and Clinton winning by 4 points in Indiana .. from now on i'll rely on this pollster ... the rest are unreliable especially ... SurveyUSA ... they had Clinton up by over 12 points in IN today ....... but that didn't occur

To the nasty Obama supporters, wait and see as we strong women who want a strong leader rally around McCain if Hiliary were to loss. You will see Hiliary women for McCain

Conspiracy theories can come from all over. At the end of the day, this is a day for Obama. Take a look at the other large county in Indiana. He won that county in a big way. In fact, look every large county that has voted in this election. He took almost every one of them. So why would you question whether or not he wins another big county? Especially one that has a populace so closely tied to Chicago. I don't think he's going to win Indiana, but I know she's not going to gain anything from whatever victory she does claim. Oh, and where are all the people that were talking on how he lost ground in NC? 16 point victory ain't a whole lot of ground lost.

Go Obama! Go OBama! Go ! I love it when smart people vote! Thank you NC for being smarter, braver and a good democrat! IN obviously, even if Hillary wins, she will not be gaining that much, many of you voted smart and we thank you. I am glad that there are voters/democrats out thee that know how important it is to pick the right person for the job. Negativity and tearing people down, even getting some republican votes just to keep the democrats in the race for their advantage, is still not going to work. Americans(at least the smart ones) want positive campaigning and someone who wants to make a change in Washington, and that is what I want. We love America and we must help make change happen.

What's taking them so long, Gary is very close to Chicago. I wonder how badly they must be cooking the books for Obama.

This is my "opinion" and my "opinion" only. Let's say that Hillary was in the lead w/out the uncounted votes in Florida and Michigan. Would she be worried about some dog-on uncounted American votes, THEN!? Heck no! She wouldn't be worried about those folks one bit because she would think that she had this nomination in the bag. Why does a loss bring out the "El Desperado" in Losers!?

Count all the votes in Clark Co. Also count all the states!

Obama will win the presidency. Not only does he have the democratic vote, but the independent vote and LOTS of the ex-republican votes. He will overwhelmingly win (unless he picks hillary as his running mate – HA)!

What's happening now in Indiana is to suspicious to me!

As far as the FL & MI is concerned Obama supporters better brace themselves in the fall. There's going to be a spat on the convention floor no matter if she drops out or not. those delegates are not going to comform to what the DNC expects out of them.

What happen in Florida is a totally different circumstance than Michigan. I don't think they are going to be to happy about the situation. If they don't agree to the nominee well that nominee may not get the nomination until they agree.

LeanO;.....get a life!

LOL, I don't see it, but it would be hilarious if Obama ties or wins Indiana because of this.

Yes, I will admit it I am p'd off. If all these racist black people would vote the issues instead of by color this country might have a chance in the next 4 years to get straightened out. Instead we will have an inexperience man who is in the pocket of the unions, the oil companies and the drug companies and he will get NOTHING done for me. He promises tax breaks as relief for the economy, this won't help me a bit. I already get back all the taxes I pay in every year. I make about 25,000 a year. Tax breaks aren't going to help me get insurance or put food on my table. Bunch of bull! For the first time in my life I am ashamed to be an American. I am ashamed of all the ignorant people in this country who vote by emotion or color instead of in the country's best interests. You reap what you sow, unfortunately you have drug a lot of hard working Americans with you. Wait and see if I'm not right. All you idiots wanting change. Right, it won't happen.I will be writing in my vote in November.
The black people think they have everyone over a barrel, threatening to riot if Obama doesn't win. Why don't they all just go back to Afica if they don't like it here. After all we tax payers are supporting 50% of them!

This smells too fishy. hope they not trying to pull a BUSH vs AL GORE move. thats Onama territory. hope the judge is still awake

Hillary will win the nomination.

This county borders Illinois, which should tell the story why they are not stating the totals.

They are making them up to benefit Obama.

I wonder if Reverend Wright will be let out of his cell tomorrow? Nothing like setting up a drama in order to denounce someone to get votes. I hope all you Obama idiots enjoyed the drama. Do you really think he would denounce that hater? This is what you are all in for...liars.

If you see Ted Kennedy around let him know I need a ride over a bridge.

I very much resent the comments just made on air about how Indiana runs their primary. No one seemed to care much that our polls closed at 6 p.m., or that it took a while to tabulate our results and report them, or that we require a government photo I.D. Now that Indiana actually makes a DIFFERENCE in choosing a candidate, we're doing something WRONG?! The I.D.'s make it harder for illegals and others who might try to "cheat the vote" from filling out multiple ballots or voting as a non-citizen. The polls are open plenty long, and Clinton's on-air supporters need to give up the ghost. Let's quit focusing on the primaries and look ahead to who we want in the White House for the next four years...

One of the talking heads on CNN "read " Chelsea Clinton's body language and actually believes she was trying to cover her dissapointment of the so called inevitable. HUH!!! I think he needs to go back to body language 101. Chelsea looked proud of her mother. She seemed touched by her mother's pride when Hillary mentioned what a great job she had done. To read more in it than that is absurd!

Hillary is strong-she is a leader-she DOES care about the future and the average Joe or Jill.
Many young girls are glad to finally have someone they can truly look up to as a role model.

Hillary is the hope for the future.

An Obama/Sebelius ticket would put forth a woman who has recognized stature and integrity.

OK...AAAHHH....CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE LAST TIME SOMEONE HAD TO RESCEND A "VICTORY SPEECH"? MIGHT HAPPEN...JUST SAYING....

Florida has 26 state and private universities, which most college bound adults were told that they vote would not count because of the rules of DNC were not honored by Florida primary. This aurgement about Florida would not be happened if most Floridains followed the rules of the DNC.

The DNC had a chance to change the rules of Florida Primary did not make any changes at that time, so the rules should remain as it stands. If otherwise, Florida would have voted accordingly.

There are 3 candidates in the Indiana primary, Hillary, Barak, & Rush.
Operation Chaos will be the "difference" in the final vote. As a result, the Democratic contenders will continue the in-fighting for another round. Hooray!! Rush is needed until McCain grows some balls and shows some fight. The Rush factor will be seen in the number of voters switching back their registration to the Republicanparty in Texas, & Pennsylvania, etc... (I can't wait for the Pennsylvania count as Ed Rendell will wet himself!

Obama & Alerod, because of their foolish pride, will never admit publically that Operation Chaos was a factor, which is just fine for the Republicans. The Democratic blood bath will come at its convention. The walking wounded won't vote Democratic in November.

Niether one of them has enough to make the nomintion and I think everyone is trying to push her out. I am a resident now LIVING IN FLORIDA THE USA for 4 years. I want my vote counted. And from living in NC for 21 years I know why BO won...I feel like he gives nice speeches but he has no supstance.

For HILLARY
JLW<--biased for HILLARY 08

So I am a California Republican for Obama. I actually changed my registration to vote for Barack in the Primary here because of my distaste for Hilary Clinton. Here is the problem, if Hillary gets the nomination this election is going to get UGLY. She has so many skeletons in her closet and a proven record of lieing the the American People. We have lived with 8 years of untruths...... I take my share of responsibility for that since I voted for him twice. Our country is divided and we need some thing new to unite us.... Barack is that something new. One thing I do need to say the healthcare stuff needs to go away, it will never happen in the US. One of the few areas in the economy that is going strong is the Pharma/Research area.... We can't afford to make changes that could affect that.

The state of Indiana should extremely ashamed of what they are trying to do with the vote. They are so afraid that Omaba will win, they are willing to do anything. They have learned well from Hillary Clinton book of dirty tricks and negative actions. Also, she said she found her voice. Well, it seemed tonight that she found Obama's voice in repeating almost his entire speech from tonight.

bill's not done rigging the votes,yet.

This reeks of sabotage by Obama supporters.

I am enjoying the most annoying Clinton supporter, Lenny, babbling on and on during this evening's panel. The guy wants to chew his microphone he's so mad!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAA!

He's a fine example of the old guard watching his old ways slip away. Must hurt, eh Len?

I do not understand how Senator Clinton could declare victory in a state were the largest county has not cast there votes.

Come on Barb in Tn? If Hillary wins in Gary will we need a recount then? If you into opening up crooked politicians, lets open up the death of Vince Foster and the Whitewater case! Or maybe Bill and Hillary's NAFTA buddy, Frank Giustra and the mining deal that netted the Clinton's over a 100 million! Maybe we should talk about the last people to get impeached from the white house, the Clinton's! Or the Peter Paul case against Hillary in California conveniently put on hold until after November, you guessed it! by a Clinton appointed Judge!

Voter fraud in Lake County, Indiana?

Very suspicious and this idea of holding back results is misleading.

The MAJOR loss in North Carolina and the close call she has currently in Indiana, she needs to give it up already. Save her money and donate it to Obama's camp for November!

If you listned to media reports all week long. We heard that Mrs. Clinton would win Indiana with no problem and make it close in N.C. Well the opposite has been true so far. She put up a very strong fight, but even she has to understand there is no way she can win. Time for this party to unite behind one person. That person is Barack Obama like it or not.

THANK YOU, SOMEONE FINALLY COMMENTED ON THE LAKE COUNTY DEBACLE ON AIR-Okay, I was beginning to wonder if it was me-does anyone else find it strange that Lake County hasn't reported ANY votes-although their polls closed 5 hours ago? I can buy the hand counting the absentee ballots, but what about the machines, or ballot boxes from today-hey Lake County, it is the 21st century?!?

Get some sleep Clintion. It been a long hard fought battle but you lost. Face the facts. Clintion needed to win 65 -35 to have a chance. A big lost in my home state of NC and a small victory in IN or a small lost = finish.

Vote Obama

PS. I will sleep good tonight

Okay dems. now we need to unite.

Democrat 08'/12'

Hillary supporters who would not vote for Obama if he is the nominee should be ashamed of themselves. So much for party loyalty. Come on folks, get over yourselves. Hillary gave it a great run, but she will not be the nominee. I know this is tough to accept. If Clinton supporters do the right thing and throw their support behind Obama and the Democratic party, they will destroy McCain in a general election.

This county should be suspended from voting in the general election. There was no need for what happened tonight.

Votes should be recounted in this area, since it seems they took the time to make up absentee ballots.

Very easy to create absentee ballots by comparing the voter registration for those who did not show up to vote and creating absentee ballots for them.

Too much hanky pankey with this one and the government within this county should be investigated.

If Obama cannot win this on his own, which he won't, then no county should try to make up votes.

Remember Hillary Clinton is in the lead. The people of Florida and Michigan did vote and all legal votes should be counted.

Obama was the only candidate to advertise in Florida and he has the AUDACITY to state that that primary should not count. HE was also the one who decided to take his name off the ballot in Michigan. No one said he had to, but he knew he was not going to win that state and that is why he and John Edwards told their voters to vote undecided. He and John Edwards still didn't win and the winner was Hillary Clinton fair and square. Obama is a double talker and all you Obama-adddicts will learn this the hard way.

Who wants a President who does not want all votes counted? He is a loser and you all need to come to terms with that at some point.

You are all damining America if you vote for Barry Obama.

WHAT A DELIBERATE DIRTY TRIP THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAVE PERPETRATED IN THAT LOUSY LAKE COUNTY...

HOW MANY AFRICAN-AMERICANS DOES IT TAKE TO COUNT UP TO
11,370 ABSENTEE BALLOTS.....

OBAMA STYLE POLITICS, SEEM LIKE OLD STYLE CHICAGO BACK DOOR POLITICS TO ME.

LAKE COUNTY CITIZENS, SLOW ON THE COUNT AND 60 MINUTES BEHINDS MOST N.C. CITIZENS THAT SPEAKS VOLUMNS, ALWAYS $2.00 SHORT

DUM, DUM DUM....

All they have left is Michigan and Florida. Lanny the Obnoxious is screaming that if they aren't counted, the general election is lost.

I suspect that the DNC would rather alienate 2 states than 48.

Drop out Hillary! It's time for everyone to unite and tear apart McCain in the fall!

Does anyone else besides me think Lanny Davis is crazy? Crazy with hate and malice. He just can't stand the fact Hillary is losing. This guy is a disgrace. Please CNN let him go. If I hear the word IF again from him, I will scream!

Florida and Michigan should not revote. If you break the rules-you get punished.

People keep on saying Obama is going to lose the general election as if nothing would happen to McCain. BOTH Hillary and Obama would beat McCain out of the water. He's show that he is going to stay in this war, been quoted to know nothing about the economy, and has been caught having senile moments on camera over Al Queda and the Iran militia. People are giving more credit to McCain than he deserves.

Did she congratulate Obama on his victory tonight???

Obama, and his cult are empty headed idiots if they think he can win the election. You black people will be out numbered against McCain. Obama dose not have the the amount of delegets to get the nomination!!!!! Hillary 08 or McCain 08

All they have left is Michigan and Florida. Lanny the Obnoxious is screaming that if they aren't counted, the general election is lost.

I suspect that the DNC would rather alienate 2 states than 48.

I AGREE! Doesn't seem like Hillary gets the picture. Talk about who's out of touch.

OK, I think it is time for supporters for both these candidates to have a more positive dialog. Neither Obama nor Clinton will win without the others' supporters. I think both Clinton and Obama are to be commended for their showings tonight. Clinton made up some impressive ground in North Carolina and likely has a good win in North Carolina. Obama has shown that he can survive some pretty tough times and still do remarkably well.

Cheers to both candidates, and here's looking forward to focusing on McCain soon. Can't wait for the first debate!

could some one show Hilary to the EXIT door????????

I must say I have no respect for the Republicans crossing over to vote dishonestly. This is a disgrace to the american voting process and it is just plain disgusting! Anyone who participates in this kind of process is not american. This is the kind of conduct which turns off voters especially young voters. Why don't you stop this nonsense. How would you like it if the democrats did this in the next election? I don't think you would.

Something is suspicious here.

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, he'll lose the Presidential Election.. No Change You Can Believe In... What a waste of non well thought primary votes that will b.

Hillary 08!

the ONLY person who can beat McCain is Hillary Clinton.

limbburger cheese is trying to make people believe Obama could take victory away from McCain in November.

of ocourse, he is using reverse psycolgy: Obama doe not have any hope of defeating Joh McCain: where as, Hillary will. She is the best candidate; knowing this Limburgercheezey is using the fact that the majority of voters who look at the world "his way" are too dull- witted to understand what is being done here. He knows Obama can't win so he is trying to make Obama have dirty laundry exposed by Obama's own Dem. party, thus enabling the Republicans to "claim" clean hands.
He is just as smelly and cheezy as ever. Some things NEVER change!

I read this blog to get some idea of what Hillary Clinton had to say. When she came on the TV I had to turn it off. I use to just turn the sound off because I can't stand to listen to her, but now I can't even look at her.

Listen up Super Delegates, doesn't the fact that Rush Limbaugh encouraging his listeners to vote for Hillary send a message to you! The GOP cannot win an election against Obama, and they know it! Hillary has more negatives and baggage than any candidate in history! She will be a easy target for them in the fall! I believe that the super delegates should make their move starting tomorrow! Come on Gore! We know you cannot stand the Clinton's, make the first move! Edwards you better step up too!

It appears we are finally going to find out who the Democratic Nominee will be. It appears O'bama will be it. That gives time for the rest of us to decide who is best for the Country. Most Clinton supporters will be hard to bring back to the fold. Also the Republicans will start heavy bombardments against O'Bama and praise Hillary's valiant run for the Nomination. Do not forget her and John McCain's close friendship. The last gas holiday ideas were the same for both of them. Hillary is much more moderate than O'Bama, so expect the socialist labeling to start. Also expect an African-American to be featured at the Republican Convention. Here in Arkansas expect Mc Cain to win unless Hillary is on the ticket. I still expect her to return to the Senate and run for Governor of New York. She can than run for President in 2012 should O'Bama lose to McCain. It's is a very interesting election. Many people ask with 300 million people are these the best we have.

Lake County's Elections website has crashed. This is too funny.

Something fishy in Gary IN. Could it be Chicago politics as usual? If Obama pulls out a win because of Gary I demand a recount. I lived too long in the Chicago area not to know somethings rotten when I see it.

It's not surprising that a larger poplulace county takes longer to vote.

But this does remind me of a headline that I read briefly a couple of weeks ago that Hillary's campaign people were trying to block votes from mail-in voters (in particular, military overseas votes). Any truth to that?

Listen people...If Obama gets the nomination, he will lose OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND FLORIDA very handily...I doubt even Obama can win the presidency without those states, so say hi to President McCAIN.... OH WAIT, Obama will win Utah, Alaska, and other western states.... Yeah, right.....

I have been watching a trend unfold, and that is that most of Hillary's speeches have tended to sound more like they were paraphrased or atleast developed out of Barack Obama's lines. The media has not caught this yet....Today was worse, she almost had the same things to say..This is surprising really

Hillary is breaking. You could tell in her speech tonight that she knows the end is near. I hope that she does the right thing and steps down, paving the way for Obama to begin preparations to take on McCain. It will be tough for her to bow out, but it is what the party needs right now. I think as Obama comes from behind and wins Indiana, her fate will be sealed.

For someone who has long been a supporter of Hilary Clinton, I must say that after tonight I agree that she should drop out for the good of the Democratic Party and give her support to Barack Obama.

Ding-Dong Hillary is out of it!

You guys just wont stop.

What a nail biter. Interestingly Clinton's speech seemed like she was sitting taking notes from Obama's. Since this county is the largest, it could change the game. Will Clinton come back out and concede?

Good for hear but I would like to know if the educated vote for Obama does that mean that Blacks have been lieing all these years about not being able to get a decent education?

It is over!!!!

Obama wins!

Will be interesting to see. This county is half the population of Marion County which was carried by Obama with 67%. If Obama gets about 55% of the vote from the expected turnout of Marion he could possibly grab this state. Very exciting to watch!

hmm.. seems she has already claimed the victory!!

is it just me..or does her voice drive anybody else INSANE???
that speach should used instead of water boarding!!
just "wah wah wah"...

Yeah – I hope Hillary thugs are not cheating!

Let's get this count over – it would be nice if those votes are for Obama and he wins Indiana!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

So much for Clintons landslide win in Indiana. OBAMA 08'

The county that will, if not give Obama the state, but make it a virtual tie.
You can bank on that!

Hillary just admited defeat. She said she would work with the democratic nominee for president..ha! That doesn't sound like a victory speech to me.

It's over...

I just heard Clinton's speech.
I just cannot understand that HOW THE HELL SHE WILL GET THE NOMINATION?
What does she have in her hat?
Florida/Michigan?! WHY DID SHE AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES IN FIRST PLACE?

Former Clinton Supporter.

ABC (Anybody But Clinton) '08

Obama O8!!!!!

If Obama wins Indiana after Hillary's "victory" speech I will probably wet my pants laughing!
