"According to the exit polls in North Carolina, the more liberal the voter, the better Obama does. "
he is too much to the left. Watch out, people.
It is not pretty, no fun to be in in too liberal country (communistic country,in socialistic regime)= freedom is cut there!!!!!
I was born there, and ran away.

Do you people smell toast?...because i think your having a stroke!...remember the republican BUSH?,,,...the goal is no more of him...so whichever wins is ok...just NO ....MCBUSH....NOOOOOO!!!!

NO MCBUSH!

this former democratic college graduate from michigan will vote for Mccain in the GE

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS McCAIN NOW!!

WHAT DOES TEXAS KNOW OF THE CIVIL WAR?

When November comes around, Obama, will lose – the rest of this country will never vote in a Black ultra liberal. Never. People need to get a grip.

What a great victory in a big state for Hillary. And Obama winning NC with 90% of the black vote..his constituency's voting patterns are so against what he preaches and all the togetherness candy that he likes to talk about. I hope Hillary is the nominee otherwise i will sit it out in November, i dont want to vote republican or for a superficial type like Obama who cant for the love of god win a big state..

Obama...start the change by addmiting that the ppl who vote for you have nothing to do with the message of 'unity', its just an ingenuous talk from you.

Oh yeah, big margin win for Barry in NC, bye bye Hillary.

Thank you North Carolina!

Thank you Obama supporters!

All aboard Obama's Train to Penn-Ave – Washington,D.C!

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH!!!!!!! Obama can only win the states that McCain will win in the general election. I am from SC and although Obama killed Clinton in the primary.....we will be a Republican state in November. I wouldn't get too excited about the African American vote handing Obama the nomination....they cannot overpower a Rebublican state in the general election.

33% of white voters put Sen. Obama over the top.

Go Obama / Edwards 08

According to my figures, 71 % of Americans disapprove of Bush. Sounds like an Obama victory to me.

Thank you people of NC. You could see through her lies and nastiness. Now, if you could just reach out to those in Indiana to see it to.

hahahahaha, the dude abides

Conservatives are not idiots. They're sheep. How can ANY of you make such ridiculous claims such as 'Obama is running on a false page?' What in God's name does that even mean? Baaaaaaaa.

Mike in NYC: "Southern Democrats, like Western Red State Democrats, tend to be quite liberal."

Y'know it helps to actually be *in* the South if you're going to talk about it. Southern Democrats come in two distinct types: urban, highly-educated progressives (like in Asheville, Chapel Hill, Durham) and moderate-to-conservative blue-collar populists out in the countryside.

Contrary to your thinking, not all old-school Dixiecrats got the message in '68 and switched parties. There's still a sizeable number of people who vote Democrat in part because they've always voted Democrat, who still revere FDR for his New Deal policies, but who will vote pro-life, pro-gun and anti-gay.

North Carolina has more urban, high-education areas than most southern states, and it does have a history of being more progressive than its neighbors. But don't let that fool you into thinking the average Democrat tobacco farmer would have much in common with a kid from Portland (or even Asheville, for that matter).

God help us period.

We are country divided by race as you can see from the polls. We are a racist country!!

If I have found out earlier, I wouldn't have regirstered as a democrat because, guess what, the party is owned by black people. I hear all the time that if Hillary wins the nominee, black people will not vote in November.....really? That scares me

go Hillary we need a woman in office! she is the best one running,O- is running on a false page and crooked one at that!- god help us if he wins

I consider myself a moderate liberal and I will never vote for Obama, at least with McCain you know what you are getting. With Obama you can only HOPE for a better CHANGE. Sorry, but this country is in need of a solid leader to gamble with a great speech giver. Obama and his supporters deserve each other. If he wins they can only blame themselves, like Bush supporters are doing now.

This election is determine every aspect of life to be in which every problem we have today in the world and it is a blessing that the time have come for Americans to see that they have the blessing to change things Americans do not know the amount of knowledge they have.

Are American blind??? This is such a racial divide election. How does the media spin this 91% blacks vote for black??? Most of the black people only see color. My black students don't even know who Michelle is or any of his issues, but yet to support Obama.

Hillary is a Republican dress as Democrat just like her husband. They are both chameleons and pathological liars. She sure is devise and will continue the division of this country.

"Ever been around all the rednecks in the south?"

Most Southern "rednecks" have been voting Republican since the GOP took over the South in the 60's.

I doubt very much if Hillary gets much of their support.

Southern Democrats, like Western Red State Democrats, tend to be quite liberal.

I live in North Carolina, am a 64 year old Caucasian woman who voted for Obama and has supported his campaign from the first day I heard him. Never since John Kennedy have I believed so much in a presidential candidate. It has nothing to do with his race.
I am tired of the pundits at CNN making my vote irrelevant by their constant referral to the "Black block" voting in NC for Obama. I know lots of "whites" who have supported him – not because of his race but because he is the hope of tomorrow and we are so fortunate he wants to lead us.
Here in NC we think for ourselves, whatever our color, and as for me, I vote for the candidate I believe will be the best for America.

Let me get this right – conservative means uneducated and liberal means educated? Is this an anti-education campaign by CNN?

Don't listen to Rush 'cuz he's too full of himself. Watch Fox News 'cuz I tired of Dan Rather's editorializing posing as news, then Big 3 Network monopoly crumbled beneath the advent of internet/cable outlets. Hurray!

Gotta love them D's, tho. Is there anything more entertaining than elitist D's ripping fellow elitist D's, while both pander to whatever subset of the electorate that they feel is their manifest destiny to follow them? Sharpton admonishes Obama while he grudgingly disses his 20 year spiritual mentor/family pastor as the woman a majority of Americans consider just plain evil slams them both. And I haven't even mentioned that Barack is the most liberal member out of 100 US Senators, a title even Kennedy can't claim.

Question. When whichever of these two lose in the fall, what will the inevitable excuse be? The primary was too long? America is too racist? Too chauvenistic? The "other" liberal spoiled it ala Nadar/Gore? Somebody man up and tell me up front what the delusional out will be, other than liberalism is a deserved loser?

THERE IS A REASON RUSH AND THE R'S WANT TO RUN AGAINST HILLARY – they have much, much more on her that they are saving. Obama is too much a gentleman to throw the stuff at her during this primary. MARK MY WORDS: If she manages to con the rest of the Superdelegates to giving her the nomination, WE WILL ALL BE VERY, VERY SORRY – and maybe end up tempted to vote for McCain (IF THE OLD ONE RETURNS).

GO BARACK ! Show you can win even with the Republicans doing all they can to help Hillary.

Obama will carry NC. No doubt.

But this is exactly why the Dems will never win the GE – you're too divided for your own good. The Republicans aren't. They wouldn't care if David Duke was running in their party – they ONLY vote party. Regardless of the outcome. All they care about is beating the Dems. It's the same old song and dance every GE.

If the Dems want to win – UNITE and quit bickering like little children. If not, McCain WILL be President from 2009-2012. Live with it.

My parents (in their 60s, solidly blue collar backgrounds) and I (29 years old, Master's Degree education level) both voted today in NC. My parents switched their political affiliation from Rep. to Independent to be able to vote in today's primary. We *all* voted for Obama. I'm a woman and voted for him over Hillary, and my parents are 60+ and are moderate to conservative and voted for him. My husband voted for him last week through early voting available here in NC. We're all caucasian too, fwiw.

My family considers Obama electable, suffice to say.

Go Obama go!!!

The red and blue split amongst Americans,is no way Hillary Clinton's making.Put the blame or opnion right where it belongs.Do the maths and the guess work!!

The caucus in Guam showed 95% of the votes in and Sen. Obama was leading by 7%. Later it showed 100% of the votes in and Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton was tied at 50%. Forgive me, but it seems that there is something wrong with this math. How can you make up 7% with only 5% outstanding.

Could it be election fraud?

its time for the demacractics to decide their votes for obama and stop the propaganda on the clitonand mccain unhonesty and to tell cliton to call it quits she is very untrust worthy and so is mccain we dont need cliton and mccain for president because we dont need another bush for 4 years we need change and obama is the only person who can get rid of the dead wood in the white house and the gas tax with cliton and mccaine is a joke and prpaganda and lies told by cliton and mccain and mccaine is another bush and he is to old to be president thanks please use this on the air richard d antone from burlington vermont

in any job.... they look for experience before they hire you.

experience is definitely important in attaining the highest office in this country! Obama can stay in the senate and wait couple years before running again.... prove himself.

Wow!!! I really hope that all Dems can see that we are destroying our last best chance gainst republicain. I wounder why do who have tried the presidency love it so much. Let's not be fools, Hil just wants power, and Bill should be ashamed

The country will not elect a black man or woman to be president. It is the cold hard truth. Ever been around all the rednecks in the south? No way in hell are either going to be elected. It is very sad, but it is very much the truth.

Most white people are not too comfortable to vote for an African American, point balnk. I guess that's why He is winning the Black vote.

other than the black vote if you take that away what does he have, black vote is 12% during the general election so that wont put him over the top so what will he do

Hillary Stinks – check out the Paul VS. Clinton Case on the net. Once the primaries are over and she is out maybe the judge she bought off will start the trial again and maybe then someone from the media will the report the news story about the case. Bye Bye Hillary !!

Both Obama and Clinton are wrong choices for a general election. Neither can win the election. The dems have blown it again....

Have a good time. My cable is back.

Obama hasn't done well with the murders during Chicago weekends.How can he handle a war?

The truth is these liberal voters who are voting for Obama are going to vote for the democrats anyway in the general election regardless of who's on the ballot. However, Hillary is winning all the conservative Reagan democrat voters, these are the same voters who might swing to the republicans if Obama is the nominee. Pay attention Superdelegates!!!

Following the primaries since the beginning, I have yet to hear that white voter should also vote for Barack Obama as the reality is that his genes are half white..
All I hear is the black people will vote for him ,over and over again,
what about the part of him that is white.
Is there no black and white in America or only Black or White.
It would be respectful if sometime it would mention his identiy.
which he is.......
I am a Canadian who for the first time I got excited for your country's election. I believe the whole world is watching....
Leona

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Blacks are more liberal. Duh. So are the so-called progressive wealth whites from segregated suburban communities.

HRC wins are due to the Israeli lobby... and israeli influnce

And the Civil War rages on.We are divided and we are sure to fall.White vs. any other color,rich vs. poor.etc.Guess we just cant learn from History.Oh thats right we dont teach history anymore.

If we wanted a republican we would vote for McCain. Heres hoping we get the democrate thats actually running as a democrat...
Obama 08

Does the statistics include Rush Limbaugh's voters for Clinton? Obama is fighting a good fight against 2 opponents: Clinton and Rush Limbaugh with his followers.

No one ever polls me. I'm a life-long democrat who has never missed an election. If Hillary is the Democratic candidate, I will either write-in Obama or not vote. Voting for her is like voting for McCain.

This former Republican, conservative, 49 year old female is voting for Obama.

Billary belongs to Republican Party.

Billary+McBush =Dream Ticket

go Hillary...the time is NOW for a LADY in the oval office!!!!!! Obama does not have the support or the strength or the experience, he only has big talk, and a big mouth and the Rev. and the terriorist!!!!

To CNN and those for whom Jeremiah Frigging Wright is or seems to be an issue:
Is this man going to be running the country?
Funny how no one seems to remember that when Bill Clinton was asking men of the cloth to "pray" with him after the Lewinsky affair, this man was one of the invitees.
If this is going to be an issue, then let's make it an issue ACROSS THE BOARD, ON BOTH SIDES, or whatever you want to call it.
I want to know how a man like John McCain can solicit AND ACCEPT the endorsement of a man who trashes the Catholic Church (and no, I'm not Catholic), and who claims that Katrina was "punishment" for a gay parade? LET'S RUN THAT INTO THE GROUND, SHALL WE?
Come on, CNN, how about it???

Sen. Obama is taking the nomination tonight. The fat lady sang a long time ago.

Congrats. Obama and condolences Clinton. Now let's all go be DEMS!

obama going down,.... ole hillary is in town... what goes around comes around... and obama has hit the ground.

What does this say about Clinton? That she will say and pander to anyone if it'll get her a vote -

Keep it up Clinton – I'm so sick of this it's stupid!

Drop out for the good of this country -

Barak Obama is doing good with educated workers, African Americans. The primaries has become so complicated that less educated people are going for Hillary Clinton on sound bites so called gas tax holiday, obliterate Iran.

And that means: ...

By ovember, the reds go to red and the blues go to blue. I hope the superdelegates are paying attention not to play into the GOPs hands.

Senator Clinton's "roots are showing". She was raised in a republican household and got her early political experience as a young republican. Although her party affiliation changed, her beliefs did not. What you are seeing now–conservatives and conservative dems identifying with her–is indicative of what she truly represents.

I have a question which I am sure the well educated liberal Obama voters will respond to?

Historically, which democrats come out to vote in the general election?
a. liberal democrat
b. moderate democrat
c. conservative democrat

Because something tells me that will make all the difference in beating McCain in November.

PRESIDENT HILLARY O8

Yes...it's apparently true, "Hillary the Panderer" knows exactly who to target (ever heard of "Target marketing?")... those uneducated, rural, and older voters. Is there any question as to why this same demographic is tragically, also the target of scam artists time after time? Common sense should tell you that a liar is a liar "all" of the time and HIllary's nose is growing longer as the campaign gets closer to its conclusion.

it looks like the zogby polling firm might be having another bad prediction day this primary season..... their most recent Indiana polling data predicted that obama would beat clinton by 2 points in the hoosier state.... but early returns, with 3 percent of the votes counted, has clinton at 61-39..... so something is not quite right in zogbyLand.... he predicted the CA Dem primary really bad, predicting that obama would win by 10 points, when in fact obama lost by about that same margin.... my faith in the reliability of zogby is being called into question,,,, fyi, he is also predicting that obama would zap clinton by 15 points in NC..... if zogby calls them both wrong, might be time to retool the calibrators..... mccain/rice08!

Obama 2008

Yep,
Obama can only take the extreme votes. He is not in the center of this country, so he can not represent the majority.

YES we can go obama go obama go obama haha i will vote for john McCain in november and i know McCain vs Obama will be an easy win for McCain so i will be saying YES WE CAN until november !

Let's face it..when Hillary says Barack Obama isn't electable she means just what the polls are saying.."If a BLACK MAN is the nominee of the Democratic Party the WHITE voters are and will vote for John McCain in the general election in November...Did anyone expect anything else is the question...but it seems the WHITE controlled MEDIA wants OBAMA to loose that is why once the REV Wright issues was closed by OBAMA the MEDIA kept it going for another 3-4 days. So once again...YES it is about RACE...but lets not forget that HILLARY CAN'T WIN WITH THE BLACK VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is gonna loooooose tonight!

Rock 0n Sen. Obama. Show these Clinton folks what a politician with integrity looks like!

Obama 08/12'

Hillary is gonna loooooose tonight!

Rock 0n Sen. Obama. Show these Clinton folks what a politician with i9nt egrity looks like!

Obama 08/12'

Go Hillary!

The Clinton people also consist of racial bigots, don't forget. While it is NOT said that way, if you read MOST of the aol.com blogs you will see it all there. So those folks won't vote for OBAMA, no matter what.
His color and all the ridiculous fears thrown around them keep them from seeing the real issues and the stances the candidates have.

It is like a HATE ADDICTION. Lots of denial, lots of rationalization for not backing Obama, when it all comes down to the color of his skin.

It is a real sad truth that needs lots of work, love and healing, not to forget to mention education.

Although I'm a Hillary supporter, I do have to ask the question that many of her detractors pose: "Who IS the real Hillary?" Is she the flaming liberal the Republicans fear? The nominally-Democrat that liberals suspect? How much are we influenced by the positions she takes, or by what others tell us? Does she sway in the political winds, or does she really possess conflicting beliefs? Should we expect her to be consistent in her opinions, or allow her to be as fickle as so many of us are?

So is the democratic base everyone talks about so much, those conservative democrats?

Obama 08 no matter what the exit polls are saying!

A vote for Hillary is a vote for 4 years of pant suit fashion horror.

Conservative Dems... Ah. I guess that's what happened to those republicans that voted in these elections. They figured that they can:
1. Stretch this out longer to the benefit of McCain and
2. Vote for the candidate that McCain will more easily defeat.

Makes perfect sense doesn't it?

Like I said. This needs to end and soon if the Dems are to stadn a chance in the Fall.

Conservatives are hijacking the democratic primaries, giving Hillary more votes, and Hillary is calling it a win and saying that the returns show Obama can't win. What a hype.

We are democrats and we are liberal.

That's because Clinton doesn't have biased views like Obama does. She beleives in whats she thinks is right wether or not that makes her conservative or liberal. Whoever said a Democrat had to be 110% Liberal. She supports gay rights that's liberal enough for me.

HILLARY CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton News Network,

Stop this divisive politics coverage. This is not what America is all about. Ask what is good for your country and not what is good for your ratings.

Hillary is working hard to be a populist, but it's all an act! The people dumb enough to vote for her show how gullible they really are. She will do anything to win. She will give free gasoline to all if you push her on it. The Cinton News Network has spent 24/7 backing Hillary. Everything is Hillary talk. I have found a news station that is even handed and fair and that is MSNBC with Chris Matthews. This post won't make it on the site because it is true.

Clinton and McCain have been running against Obama most of the time any way.

That figures. Anyone who would vote for McCain is an idiot, so Clinton has a good portion of the idiot vote. I wonder, when she "aggressively" campaigns for Obama after defeat, will those idiots listen to her and back Him?

As a Conservative Democrat, I'd never vote for Obama...and McCain is too old

Hillary 08 !!!!!!!!

Big surprise there. Generally when you want to send a uniter to Washington – you DONT send a super Liberal.

Good Lord...This race has to end now...

The republicans are coming out in force and voting for Hillary just because they don’t want to face the stronger candidate Obama in the GE. They’re also skewing the #'s and saying they wouldn’t vote for Obama come November and would vote for McCain...even though they’re now "democrats". More schemes and standard politics to deprive americans of who they really need to lead them in these desperate times. Hillary / McCain and the rest are sickening. We need a change for the good. We need Obama for president!

Hey Hillary, it's not too late to become Republican and serve as McCain's VP candidate!!!

Please...Just Go...

Send her out to pasture!!!!!!!OBAMA 08'

You lose the core of the Democrats you lose against McCain.

Obama has been losing those Deomcrats since Feb 19th.
