"wouldnt you think that people who are educated and intelligent and financial stable should be making the decisions? They have obviously shown they can make the right decisions for their personal lives." – jonny

I hate to disagree with you.
All Americans should have a say in their political choices.

More education only gives us more knowledge, not necessarily more moral values. Look at these politicians we are considering. They all had a pretty good education. Some are good and some are very bad. Telling right from wrong is learned in kindergarten, not in an Ivy League school.

Everyone should have a vote and voice in a healthy democracy. Who is to say who is qualified to vote?

Cnn you have obviously deleted my comments on S.2433:Global Poverty Act of 2007 , a bill Obama introduced in 2007. I believe people should be aware of the context and the humongous amount of revenues it requires.

Vote for Hillary for the betterment of this country.

Obama up by 25 points in North Carolina, if he wins by 5 points, it means that Obama can not win against McCain in Nivember.

I will be clinging to my religion today and pray that God saves us from Bush II ….and I don't mean McSame (he is Bush III) BHO-Bitter!!

God save us from another 4 years of an inexperienced, elitist, out of touch President….Oblahma!

"Hoodwinking, you can believe in!"

Holy hell do you people ever care way too much about this. You disagree with eachother on a Democrat elect, you aren't locked in moral combat. The fact that you _hate_ people who disagree with you is why your country is currently laid low. Honestly, disliking someone who disagrees with you is natural, if not healthy, but hating them? Most of you have a lot of growth to do as a person.

CNN polls showed Hillary trouncing Obama in Pa. by at least 20 pt.
They reported her "BIG WIN" when she won the primary at 9 pts..

They reported Guam "only " 7 pts. for Obama while a background of Wright shown in the background.

Their projection in early April was double digits in Indiana for their gal Hil – can't wait to hear their big announcement tonight.

Maybe the reason Clinton won't release the donor list for Clinton Library is that Time-Warner, Turner Broadcasting are the top donors.

David Wilhelm, a former Democratic National Committee chairman who now works as a venture capitalist in Ohio, said Obama's momentum, his message, the quality of his campaign and his potential to command a "broad coalition" as president "that can make change a reality" all contributed to the decision to endorse.

Louisiana MAMA for OBAMA……

What is Obama supporters so afraid of… that the better candidate may actually win?

Hillary win WIN Ind. & NC Tonight!!!!

Whosoever believes that the Clintons can bring anything "good" back to the White House must have the brain of a pigeon. The Republicans will Block anything that Hillary will try to do. Half the nation hates Hillary so much there will be no one, but the blind current followers, to blame!!! That is, nothing will get done for the "average Joe."

I will note this in my diary for today.

I hope Senator Clinton is a good loser. She can take the remaining states by 20 points each and receive support from 65% of the remaining superdelegates and still not reach the 2025 delegates needed (2024; based on CNN numbers).

Voters in Indiana and North Carolina, vote for Hillary Clinton a true democrat.
California is watching.

what i dont understand is that everyone focuses on poor, uneducated, white people's votes as being the most important……

wouldnt you think that people who are educated and intelligent and financial stable should be making the decisions? They have obviously shown they can make the right decisions for their personal lives.

Media Blackout May 15
Love your running commentary about Shrillary?/ LMAO

Let there be no surprises in Indiana, I spoke some eager white male voter who have made it their mission to make Hillary Clinton to Win. Giving Senator Obama loss. Hoping to run against Hillary Clinton in the fall and vote in McCain.

So a Vote for Hillary Clinton is a Vote for John McCain….

May 6th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

I hope the voters in NC and Indiana can hear McCains chorus of "Bomb – bomb-bomb-bomb Iran" in their head as they vote. Oh I forgot background vocals were by provided by Hillary Clinton – remember that too and choose wisely!!!
____________________________

If you think Obama won't bomb Iran just because he didn't say it outright, you haven't been paying attention to the debates.

Really !! If Clinton does not win do you hear the white folks threatening to riot in the streets of Denver? Of course Obama will win or the black will riot again

Obama is going to win this thang ya'll

CHARLES THE MAD BLACK!!!!!,
blacks voting for Obama is not a racism. Because people can have their own opinion.
Racism is when ALL blacks voting for Obama because he is half black. Because all people can not have the same opinion. Unless this is a racist opinion.

At one time I was going to support Hillary. But after I saw how dirty she could be I don't like her anymore. She will do anything to win. She is going to mess it up for Dem getting into the White House. We should already be preparing for Nov. But Nooooo if she can't win she don't want Obama to win.

Obama 08!!

I heard brief mention in the last primary election a couple weeks ago about people having problems voting – machines not working and people not being able to register and such….how come cnn (or anyone else) did not cover that story? I would like to know what regions had the problems. There usually tends to be patterns as to where the problems occur. Not just random faults, like there should be if it happened naturally.

Hello everyone! When God came on earth to set up His Kingdom, He could have chosen the Pharisees and Sadducee's…these guys were priest, they have experience, and they know the law very well. But God wants change so He did not chose people who were corrupted because of experience of the law but some humble fishermen…men who wants change.

barack 08

Too much whining, too much demeaning words from Obama supporters. Somehow, I'm not surprise with their words, Obama flipped off Hillary, unpresidential in so many ways.

To ALL Republicans and Independent voters who voted for Hillary today, Thank you very much for your vote. Hillary is the REAL CHANGE, she has REAL SOLUTIONS for our problems, not just plain words.

To Obama supporters, thank you very much for your harsh language about Senator Clinton, but WE Clinton supporters will not go down to your level, God bless you guys…and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

Did a person on these blogs really say "Obama brought back racism in America"? Another Clinton supporter claimed that only WHITE people Americans? Seems to me three groups rule here, for Clinton hardcore (man-hating) feminist, and racist white voters, for Obama… young very angry children that might just cut their parents throat for being self-serving abusive parents for the last 20+ years of their childs life.

America really has it's stuff together. A whole lot of angry, hateful, spiteful, ignorant, uneducated morons that if they should NUKE anyone it should be themselves. After all, look in the mirror, not only at yourself, but take a look at your neighbor. How long can Americans blindly wave their red, white, and blue flag until they realize their country is only a empty facade of what it used to be.

Matter of fact, I wonder how many Americans realize that their top 1% (the wealthy) all have homes abroad (someone where other than America). Ya think that might be so they can exit stage left when America falls to it's knees and starts to tear itself apart with it's internal anger?

It just amazes people how lost the country is, arguing over nothing. Sex, Race, Religion… while the rich enslave all of you one day at a time. Amazing Ignorance!

Looking good for the Democrats come November…

One thing of note on North Carolina's polls. The Zogby poll had Obama leading Clinton by like 14% in NC. Well, this is the same Zogby poll that had Obama up by 13% over Hillary in my state of California the day before the primary! Hillary went on to comfortably win California by 9%.

I truly expect to see the NC vote to be much closer than the Zogby poll suggests. I think if African-American voter turnout is not extremely strong, then the margins could be very small and may even push Hillary to a victory.

For Hillary to win a state where black voters make up over 25% of the Democratic electorate (I believe) would be a STUNNING blow to Obama. The demographics on NC run completely in his favor.

If Obama loses both tonight, then he will have a very hard time convincing Superdelegates that he is more electable.

Hillary '08!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!! We will turn this election around!

SUSIE: SEN. OBAMA DID NOT BRING RACISM BACK TO OUR COUNTRY! It was the media playing hate-speech 24/7……..until SOME people who are in denial got scared ….. or as in your case, believe that someone 'brought racism back'!!!!!!!!

PLEASE if anyone thinks for a second that racism is dead and we are color blind in the USA……. start dancing in the streets! That would be a MIRACLE INDEED!

No, sadly, racism is alive and well. When will we all, just be Americans? And judge a man or woman by whom they are instead of by the color of their skin………OR what their former pastor said?

I am supporting Sen. Obama NOT BECAUSE OF HIS RACE, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS VISION of a better America. We need Hope, peace and an END TO THIS MADNESS!

THANKS TO HILLARY & MCCAIN, we are nearly bankrupt because of the war with Iraq!

Thanks to Hillary & McCain people are being fooled into thinking that taking a "break from the gas tax" will save them money!

PLEASE INDIANA, THINK FOR YOURSELVES, HELP US TO MOVE FORWARD!

Media Black Out,

Mature postings are worth considering, but slamming one of the contenders is very much a play school thing.

Sorry you choose to blog but not be a responsible citizen.

"Heavy Turnout? Or are crossover Republicans coming out to vote for Clinton to prolong Democrat primaries?

How come the media doesn't examine the crossover voting where the Republicans vote in Democrat primaries? These "strategic voters" vote for the weaker Democrat candidate to prolong primaries. In other words, a vote for Clinton in the primaries helps the Republican party. There were 100,000 Republicans who voted for Clinton in Texas. There were also a significant number of crossover voters who voted for Clinton in Ohio. How many crossover voters are going to vote for Clinton in Indiana?

Why does the Democrat party allow open voting and allow Republicans to put a monkey wrench into their primaries?"

It's the democratic way to do it and really resonates with Obama's campaign to unite people across the aisles, it's just a shame that conservative extremists like Limbaugh feel the need to cheat the system. Hey, Rush, NOW who's being unpatriotic?

Had a conversion at a gas pump in Georgia today with a unknown blue collar white male. I am democrat, he is republican. We both hate Hillary. We wish Obama would be more pacific. We don't trust McCain. Thanks to the press, and yes that means you to CNN, the public knows very little about the issues, and so much about the dirt. We wished that Obama would give it to Hillary, split the Democratic vote by becoming a independent this fall and gather all the folks who want change.

Media Blackout May 15…..you must be sitting in a Clinton brain storming session. Don't leak all the ideas they come up with in between the broken record of someone at the table shouting out "Hey, lets make another negative commercial or one that scares the American population into voting for her."

IF HILARY WINS THE NOMINATION , I WILL LEAVE THE USA FOR EVER, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER problem IN THE COUNTRY..

All i have to say about this whole election is that, it's dragging to long. I really don't care who wins the democratic primary, just hurry up with this nonsence. Both canidates are very good people and it's a SHAME the media and other people made this election a racist thing. The Clinton's are not racist for one thing….people seemed to forget this. If Obama hadn't ran for the Presidency, Hillary would have been the elected Democratic President. I know it and the africian american's know it. If he wins I'll vote only for him to not have McCain in there. It would have been a hell of a ticket to have had both of them on that ticket!!.

I don't think I will vote for Candidate just because a group will get pissed off. I have been pissed off since Bush stole the election from Gore in Florida. Grow up, if you can't handle the primary politics, your not ready to take on the Republicans. I know I don't want another 4 years of garbage . Unfortunately the economics of war haven't benefited the bulk of the country. Many honorable men and women have given their bodies and lives for the cause and they need to be taken care of by our Country…. Guess what were voting and were watching very carefully.

The Paul v Clinton case issue is not about the case itself. It is about the fact that all litigants will be deposed under Oath.
This may come back to severly impact the Clintons if they re-attain the Whitehouse!
If re-elected, the Clintons could have a 3rd term marred and mired in 4 years of demands, once again of impeachment!

People….Kathleen Retired White Woman is obviously some sort of automatic bot. How else could she have gotten so many of her rants through?

of course the problems happen to be in NC where Clinton knows she cant win..can we say THE FIX IS IN

Operation Kaos in full swing.

Obama we are praying for you.
God bless you and give you the opportunity
to be the next President of the USA.
Your an inspirator for so many in this world.

From the Netherlands where he is favorite!
We want change too and we trust Obama.

Ted van Tol The Netherlands

The only problem I see is that there is a overbearing, arrogant windbag on the ballot. Obama and his supporters need to find the nearest rock and crawl under it.

Kathleen – Professional White Woman:
You are not a racist nor are you offensive, I've been watching your posts and they are just fine. You do need, however, to relax a little. I know you are frustrated, the entire world is, but Obama will win.
To Venus the AA woman: Thank you. To the folks who don't understand why racial identification etc. is acceptable in a post, it is to show solidarity with the AA community and precisely to show that they are not alone and that their choice is a wise one according to very many people!
Obviously, most people don't think all Hillary supporters are racist, that is simply hyperbole, however it is undeniable that 20% of her support is derived from people who have deep seated racial fears either overt or covert and it is easier to indicate a gender bias rather than confront the racial concerns . That's just the nature of civilization.

I hope the split the states and keep it going.

Never give up Hillary, you can do it. lol

McCain 08

RE: ILuvObama

This is the States Democratic Party that make the rules for their Primary Election Process.
You have no one to blame but the Democratic Party for their weak rules.
Just another example of poor Democratic Leadership and Governance.

How can Obama steal a vote that doesnt count?

This election will be the most important one in most of our lifetimes. This election the American people must get it right or face the harsh realities that will come which are mostly bad. We have a major problem far more damaging than foreign governments or war or taxes. Rush Limbagh dictating hate, immoral voting laws,operation chaos,drug use and still spitting venom in the name of the devil, that has will cause this country more division. LET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CHOOSE THEIR LEADER AND QUIT THE HATE AND OUTRIGHT LIES.

Charles the Mad Black – I agree with you 100%.

I am brown and I am for Obama all the way! Nothing at all to do with the color of his skin.

Also, people seem to forget – blacks were pretty EVENLY DIVIDED between Clinton and Obama before SC. Guess as soon as they decided that Obama was a better candidate, they became racists!

So, count me in as a Mad Brown Guy I guess……

CNN DON”T DELETE MY COMMENTS

Since February 5 she cannot beat Obama more than 20%. She has to win by 80% every state to win. PA Clinton +9.4%
MS Obama +24.5%
WY Obama +23.6%
TX Clinton +3.5% (primary)
TX Obama +10% (caucus of 1.1 Million voters – not in vote totals)
OH Clinton +10.4%
RI Clinton +18.0%
VT Obama +20.7%
Democrats abroad Obama +33.3%

VA Obama +28.2%
MD Obama +24.9%
DC Obama +51.5%
LA Obama +21.8%
NE Obama +35.4%
Virgin Islands Obama +82.3%

Another note about Paul vs Clinton: the Senator is just a witness in the case so jail time is very unlikely. Paul sued Bill Clinton because he was disappointed that Bill didn't work for him and help him make tons of money. It's sour grapes because he expected a big payback for throwing the big celebration party. Paul is a convicted felon. I don't know why you keep holding on to this silly story.

Every Christian minister says that they believe in the entire Bible. I've never heard of anyone denouncing their minister for supporting slavery, the inferiority of women, killing disobedient children, having raped virgins marry their rapist, killing farmers for rotating crops, killing anyone who works on the Sabbath, etc., etc. Why? Hypocrisy.

This morning, John Robert reported that 87% online votes have considered Clinton pandering on gas privce, but he proceeded to read four emails that supported Clinton's gas policy. Where are the 87% emails???

This is "biased" journlaism, if not malicious. CNN has kept doing this severeal times right before primaries. Shame on you!

I hate when people say that blacks are voting for Barack cause he is half black.

You people are stupid. It wasn't a bad thing for blacks when we voted for Carter, Kerry, Gore and Clinton and KENNEDY. We would have voted for other back in the days…..but remember we couldn't vote cause we were black!!!! Why the hell is it a racist vote for Barack "The leading democratic in the race"? I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Blacks only make up 12% of the entire US Nation…..so you tell me how can we vote for some one we like, believe in. We have been voting for every other democratic candidate for the last 50 years…but, now we see someone we can identify with, now we are Racist people…..please.

I HATE THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!

60 year old white lady:
I'll tell you once again that "Paul vs Clinton" has already been tossed out of one court and is headed for being tossed out of another. I agree with you though – everyone should check it out. Go to factcheck.org and see the accusations, watch the video for yourself. You will see exactly why this is a non-story and exactly why the media didn't linger on it.

hopefully the voters will go for obama in both states and get that lying billary out

Jim from Richmond: are you kidding me?!?!?!
"Debbie, you are the prime example of what is wrong with blacks. Cry foul before it even happens. You have a black man who doesn't even deserve to be a mayor, yet he is running to be our president. Blacks should only blame blacks for what has happened to them. I hope blacks don't expect that all of sudden welfare money is going to increase three fold. If obama gets nominated, expect McCain to dominate. No sound minded whites will vote for Obama with his socialist agenda. He has no substance of his own, thus he only attacks other candidates' idea. If Obama gets elected, this country is done. The world will turn to Europe for leadership. That's a fact and we should consider before sending Obama to our Democratic nominee."

-Blacks should blame blacks for what has happened to them? Sure, ok. so blacks then should blame themselves for slavery and countless years of anti-semetism????? Dude, whatever you're smoking, don't give it out! That is the most disgusting comment i have ever read… how sickening! i myself am a 25 year old white man who voted for obama in NH not because he is black, but because he inspires. He reminds me of what JFK was and MLK, people who had a profound influence on this country as a whole. Take your narrow view of this world and move to bosnia with hillary once she is ousted tonight. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!!

Hillary Clinton is becoming one of the most hated women in America
and women want her to represent them. Well, don't worry, when McCain and the Republicans get a hold of the Clinton past, she can't win. Google Clinton's And Clintons Outsourcing. It will knock your
socks off. Unbelievable and "adultery is nothing in comparison to this.

I think the heavy turnout probably bodes well for Sen. Clinton. Many, many voters feel that we have a rare window of opportunity to elect a woman who would probably be the most capable president ever in the White House. Given the gravity of the problems the Bush administration has left us, we cannot afford an amateur, and that's essentially what we'd be getting with Sen. Obama. He chose to run too soon. He's not ready. If he's elected, it will takes years longer before any of these problems are solved, and we can't afford that.

Dan in Co!!!!

I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! Her "comeback" did start in the wake of John McCain clincing the nomination! Then they threw in Rev. Wright to keep us unaware! You gotta hand it to 'em those republicans are smart no wonder they've been running this country for so long…kinda reminds me of the Baath party…but I digress!

What ever happened to integrity and honesty…your organization doesn't have that and neither does Hiliary Clinton.
_________________________________

Um???? Kimberly!

What kind of integrity does Obama have? He has lied about everything the media has called him on. Then given UNLIMITED air time to explain why he lied. He lied about Wright, he lied about Rezko, he lied about Ayers, he has lied about where his money is coming from, etc. If i had a dime for everytime i heard Obama say, "What i meant to say was," I'd be pretty well off.

This is BULLSH@T!!! I am a registered independant in NY State. I WAS NOT allowed to vote in the Democratic Primary, because I am not a registered Democrat. Yep, turned away!!!

But now you are telling me that registered republicans were able to go out and vote for a democrat to sway the election????

Our country and our election system has a serious problem!!! Something needs to be done!! The US of A is becoming more sneaky, dirty and corrupt by the minute!!

Media Blackout May 15th, your comments are so refreshing. It is making Clinton supporters nuts. No matter what happens today, you are a ray of sunshine among all these doom and gloom comments.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!YOU ROCK!!!!!!! OBAMA '08′

This is for EPTP JB

Sorry to be off subject but this person made some very rude comments on the last blog and then they closed the comments

If you re read my last sentence you will see i have no problem with abortion when in comes to rape. My point was that people always bring up this excuse when in fact less then 1% of those that are raped become pregnant.
This really offends me because i volunteered my time for 5 years at a rape crisis center and that has nothing to do with politics

And lastly Row V Wade will never been overturned or do i really think it would be practical to 40 years later. My orginal comments had to do with partial birth

Actually READ someones comments before you make snap judgements

LIES, LIES, LIES, Hillary, do you have anything else
Tell us about Paul versus Clinton
Tell us about your profits from trade deals
tell us how by saving $30.00 this summer, we'll be paying more in the fall
Tell us why you call yourself a democrat but are running as a Republican
Tell us why you keep changing the rules

No integrity at all

We want Obama 2008

There are 4 groups of people that vote for Hillary Clinton:

1) Women who want to see a woman as President, who see this as a way to turn back the clock on decades of inequality ( Can you blame them?)

2) People who feel a loyalty to the Clintons.

3) Republicans who are looking to cause chaos in the Democratic party, and who would rather face Hillary in November. A large number of them would vote for McCain in the end anyway.

4) BIGOTS who mask their racist intentions by voting for Hillary because they would never vote for an African American.
:D

It is obvious that CNN is just baiting the American people for ratings. At the beginning of this primary they were pretty balance with their reporting. But the recent shift once Huckabee was out is outright shameful. Anyone with a hint of intelligence can see straight through CNN's motives, had Obama been losing by such a large spread they would be saying that he is hurting the party and that he should get out. The Clintons would be arguing that fact as well, but Obama stands above that type of politics. Obama believes in our democracy. That's why my fellow Americans if we fall for the same old thing shame on us, because we finally have a chance to help change this country and the world. Lets not stand witness to this carnage Voting for Obama = Voting for America

Hillary rotten Clitton, will win indiana by 15 point lead or more, and north crolina is full of people that say they will vote for obama, but come to the polls is a different story, north carolina will be tight with him and hilary either one could win , but with smll lead.

If congress is already saying no to the gas tax holiday, why is Hillary still stating that she will give a gas tax cut? Why can't people say that she only say things to get your attention, then sell a bunch of B.S. AND why all the talk about blacks voting for Barack because he is black. Last time I checked Jesse Jackson is black and us dumb black folks didn't flock to the polls to vote for him. Some of us really do read about of country and the important issues of today. Are white people voting for Hillary because she is white, or are they not voting for Barack because he is black? where is the polls on those questions. You have polled everything black people have done so far in this election. Want to know what we have for breakfast before we go vote, because maybe if we eggs and bacon we vote for Hillary but if we eggs and sausage we will vote for Obama. Maybe is should be the other way around since pork is bad for you, and Hillary get us uneducated voters!!!!!

Say what you will about the candidates, but it's great to see that they have inspired the general American public to get so involved in something as crucial as a presidential election and exercise their right to vote.

"JC – I have read on the blogs from people from Ohio and Indiana and PA that the blue collar workers are the most racist. I have read several of these comments right on the CNN blogs." – Sharon

Unfortunately, racism, like prostitution, is part of human history, but the US may be the most tolerant of different races and cultures.

We need a leader who can think for blue-collar workers' wellbeing, not just use them and toss them till the next election cycle comes around.

We need a leader who can represent all Americans, not just the rich lobbyist donors in D.C. or Hollywood. These lobbyists represent big corporations and they only have one thing in mind, maximizing their profits. It's a win-win deal between the politicians for power and corporations for profits. Who will pay? It's the voters at the end. We do not need lobbyists' favorite candidate – Hillary. She called them good Americans.

The Clintons are rich enough but they want more. You can see the traits in Hillary's job selection of a corporate lawyer for Wal-Mart and Chelsea's working for a hedge fund company in NYC. Money and power is what they are after. Despite her tears, lies and change of accents or perhaps skin colors whichever states she goes, Hillary has plenty of records to show us what is important to her and her family. You and I are certainly not on her list. Blue-collar workers are only useful when it's voting time. Even if many of them are racists, they are still my fellow Americans.

To Brian-Seattle and Eric.
I am so glad you read the blogs, but have you read Google Clintons
and Google Clinton's Outsourcing? No, that is what I thought.

CNN, please ban all the comments coming "kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama." She is a SICK WOMAN. She just escaped from the Bellview Hospital, a well known-mental institution here in NYC.

There are 22,000 people dead today from a storm. A million still missing and all you people can do is call Hillary Clinton names. Whats is wrong with this world? Clinton is a wonderful person who deserves respect for her life-long commitment to public service. Show some respect.

This says it all about who Obama is!!!!!!
__________________________________________

So, while Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers remains tenuous, what isn't tenuous is Obama's relationship with the corrupt city, county, and state governments he calls home. What is clear is that in eight years as state senator the only thing he did was get himself very cozy with all of the power players that make up the fiber of the corruption. While Obama claims to be an outsider ready to fix Washington, it is clear that in eight years as state senator he was the exact opposite. His rhetoric about reform may sound nice and promising; however; it comes with a history of action that is the exact opposite. Whatever anyone thinks of the Washington government, it is down right peachy compared to governments at Chicago City Hall, Cook County, and Springfield. For all of those three levels, Obama is the ultimate insider, and rather than battling the corruption forces, he has gotten into political bed with most of them.

gerald strother, the math currently shows Obama can't win enough delegates to reach 2025 and clinch the race before voting ends on June 3 either. So no one is winning. Please redo your math before you bash Hillary!

Well, you Hillary lovers will probably get your way. Good, because
thousands of Republicans from Rove, Limbaugh and Hannity have
voted for her. They can't wait to bring up the Clinton's past which
the worst of it did not have a thing to do with adultery.

100,000's of Reps. were reported to vote for Hillary in N.C. and Ind.
Go for it, Hillary and Bill. Have at it.

I hope Hillary pulls out both of them. How can anybody support Obama after all we have learned? Sure! Both Clinton's have some blood on their hands. At least we KNOW about it. Obama has been hiding too much. What we have learned about him, he has LIED about until he gets caught. Then the media gives him UNLIMITED air time to explain himself. If i had a dime for everytime Obama said, "what i meant was," i'd be pretty well off.

"Pot Had Helped, and Booze;
Maybe a Little Blow When You Could Afford It."
- Barack Obama In His Own Book

Why are so many posting from sick/ deranged people supporting Obama and hating Clinton. Can sure tell where CNN stands.

"Few problems seen" is Bull. I've recently heard on the Radio that many people, close to 1.5 million voters in NC were removed to the voters list. 1/4 million of the voters removed are younger then 30 years of age. These people were all registered voters that had received confirmation in the mail that they were registered in NC. Now you tell me who this helps more. I'm not saying it was her but if this is true it is really sad.

Paul vs Clinton

As an Obama supporter who is for HOPE CHANGE, PEACE and a BETTER FORM OF POLITICS, I want to explain to Frieda why people dislike Hillary so much. Maybe you weren't old enough to remember the 90's, and the scandals. She and her husband are liars, and people are dismayed that anyone would support them. Obama is sincere and we know already what we get with HIllary and Bill.

If there weren't such a thing as open primaries, Hillary would be out of the race by now. I wonder if she'll thank Rush Limbaugh for keeping her in the race this long.

R. Cooper is clearly not listening when it comes to obama's speeches because he CLEARY knows the issues but he has NO clue on how to combat the issues…… As I recall george bush ran on a campign on change and hope and look where we're at now were HOPEING that at the end of the week were still a country. PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All French are here waiting for Obama to be President. Nothing will be better than to stop this war in Iraq and to have a round table talk with all the countries around the world.

Obama '08′

French love you!!!

Alot of Folks here writin in bad grammar…lol,lol,lol
funny……all good in fun…..may the best Candidate Win!!!!!
Both are good people!!!
From a Hillary Supporter…

Katheleen retired Professional w/woman……..

You are one sick racist!!! And you have the "audacity" to be one of Obama's supporters. Where is all the positive chants of "change"? You and others like you are one of the reasons I'll never vote for Barack Obama, and I'm African-American. All his supporters do is spew hatred and spread venomous lies about Hillary because Obama can't hold a match to her! There's no way he's ever going to be President of the United States….NOT EVER!

RushBama is just another radical conservative needing a cranialanalectomy. He loves chaos, which says quite a bit about the man. Osama Bin Laden too loves chaos. Hmmm

Clinton is full of lies and has no substance. I'm getting tired of Media bias towards Obama. Why is CNN not giving coverage to her scandals and corruption charges including the ongoing case going on with Paul. Maybe she will be sitting in jail by Nov. I hope all the Clinton supporters who are either stupid or racist wake up. It's about time we change our Politics otherwise this country will go down the drain. Obama O8 for President.

Satire WANTED FOR PRESIDENT
Loveable, charismatic, motivational speaker
The most EXPERIENCED need not apply
Prefer a "learn on the job" candidate who will
accidently on purpose do things differently.
The change that will "transcend business as
usual," transf orm our minds and transfer power"
to the minorities."
Its past time to elect an Afro American and NEVER
time f or a WOMAN!
We must pleased the biased, ANTI-FEMALE elitist,
the 92% one sided RACE voters for Obama, the
naive, smitten, YOUTH movement! Because this new
man of mystery can change our history! Right or wrong
the speech masters message is beguiling and
strong. So jump on the "chancy" Obama boat and
pray it will stay afloat! Democrat

Vote for HILLARY!!!!

She is the most capable person running.

If she's not the democratic nominee the party will loose in November.

"Sen. Hillary Clinton calls primaries a "game changer"…

…sorry, Hillary, but being president of the US is not a "game".

Oh boy!!!
nice spelling!!!lol,lol,lol
That person must done got it wrong..oops wright……whatever…
They made their point…….i guess
GO HILLARY…..WE GOT YOUR BACK GIRL!!!! GO!!!

The MSM ie CNN, MSNBC etc are the status quo of which Hillary and McSame are both a part of. Tha's why CNN tried to smear Obama over and over again with silly distracting non- issues, while they neglected to air anything negative about Hillary. It's sad when the MSM has to resort to trying to brainwash the public with fear. Guess they learned that from the Bush Admin too, and proved it by hiring Bush sympathizers.

Rev. Wright is a racist………… That makes Obama a racist…………… No racist in the white house……………. Leave town Oduma………….. 20yrs of influence is relevant………….. You people in the media say no, well i say yes…………..Hillary is the best and most experienced candidate…..The Black community as a whole has forgotten that the Clinton's were good to them……………………

Wow!!!!

This is for all of the hate speech coming from the Obama supporters, especially "Katheleen retired Professional w/woman for obama." You sure hate Hillary, don't you? You wrote at least 10 hate-speech comments… My GOD, it just reinforces that the Obama's supporters are not about hope, peace, change, union, and all that other crap that your candidate claims to have. Katheleen, you out to stop all this hate inside you, before you burn in hell. ENOUGH!!!!

I'm tired of politics! Let's get a winner so we can see him/her lose to McCain this November!!!

Indiana is over 60% white and with the media talking about the same negative topics against Obama that they use every time a primary or caucas comes around is DEVISIVE for those that are not commited yet. The media does not comment on Clintons lies over and over again and as far as substance she beats around the bush on her answers without really getting to the point. They say in Florida no one campaigned but Hillary was down their talking with the people during the days leading up to their primary. THE OBAMA BASHING SHOULD COME TO AN END!!!!

TIME TO SAY BYE BYE NOBAMA!!! YOUR DEAL IS OVER, THE KOOLAID IS WORN VERY THIN. LOOKS LIKE YOU AN THE REV CAN DRINK BY YOURSELVES NOW. OH YEAH, MICHELLE TOO.
GO HILLARY!!!

RUSH LIMBAUGH'S – OPERATION CHAOS!!!!!!!!!

JC – I have read on the blogs from people from Ohio and Indiana and PA that the blue collar workers are the most racist. I have read several of these comments right on the CNN blogs.

LoL all the comments is getting at CNN i guess they fixed it cause it looks fine now.Man these comments was a trip though,i hope Obama doesn't have a "problem" in winning Indiana so the wicked witch can finally go off somewhere and die.

Clinton won Pennsylvania (a state she was always expected to win) by nine points, and the media went crazy over her "HUGE win!" Obama will take NC (a state he was always expected to win) by about nine points, and I can hear it now…"Why didn't he do BETTER?!"

OBAMA 1.5 million donors strong..!!!!!!

To Kathleen Retired WhiteWoman Whatever….What you said is very ignorant. People in Indiana who vote for Hillary are Racist? Are you serious. What about Black People voting purley on Baracks Race?

Kathleen, seriously take your medication

Jim Richmond and all others black and white….Please keep your racists rants to yourself.

New Report: OPRAH LEFT Wrights church after 2 years because she was not comfortable with his sermons.

So Oprah who was a member of Jerimiah Wrights Church left after 2 years(1984-1986) but Obama never left?

That tells you Obama has no character and agrees with Wrights views. The only reason he finally denounced his pastor is because it was hurting his campaign..

Indiana and North Carolina do not be fooled by a two faced liar like Obama.

how disgusting to read here if you're voting for Clinton you are a racist. That's exactly why I won't support him in the general. Everything in his campaign and from his supporters is about race. It's disgusting to constantly call people racist for having different ideas than you. What a hate filled bunch you Obama supporters are, and if anyone is a racist Kathleen/professional women for Obama, it would be you. What a horrible person you must be.

I pray this is the final nail in the Clinton collective coffin. I am willing to give up my $25 gas savings over the summer to have an honest President.
Obama 08

Don't you mean more sheep than usual?

They will be fighting like tom cats all the way to the convention. I hope Senater Obama stays in the race until the last cat is hung. That Hillary, if she wins someone will have oil on their hands. lol GO OBAMA

Steve,

Kentucky

Do you guys remember objective journalism in support of a well-informed American electorate? It looks like you don't.

It's disgraceful how blatantly biased CNN's news coverage has become against Obama – Wolf actually shuts people down if they even begin to disagree with his thinly-veiled anti-Obama position. Only Jack Cafferty seems to be objective. But why wouldn't CNN be biased against Obama? They're owned by big business, and he refuses to become a puppet of big business and the wealthy.

In spite of the money – you guys should feel a sense of responsibility to be objective. There are plenty of examples in history of the consequences of a biased press with a political agenda – please work with your management and ownership to regain your journalistic integrity.

NC is going to Obama……..game over.

If Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I am voting for McCain in November. Barack stole my Florida vote for Hillary, but he won't steal my November vote for McCain.

to all the idiots out there like Kathleen who put their demographic info on their post….NO ONE CARES!

what difference does it make if you are a retired white woman who likes Obama???
Why do you feel like you have to point that out to everyone.

It's idiots like you that allow stereotypes to stay alive.

I hate that so many people are making fun of people with speach "promblems".

Just Joking. My fingers develop speach promblems too sometimes.

I just hope that CNN won't play out the drama too late tonight on the "too close to call" game.

Love the blogs! Keep it up.

Math is a wonderful indicator – do the Math Hillary and bow out while you still have a bit of crediHILLBILLitY. Otherwise it could create a PROMBLEM for you. You know and I know Obama offers a radically needed change in Washington in place of your Bushy ideas and when you do the Math correctly he us waaay ahead. You are very bright yet your vanity will be your demise. God Bless the USA.

60 old white lady, Mo:

You like CNN needs to use spell check or get and education .
Try dictionary to find out what "loose" means.
I voted for HILLARY TODAY
so did my friends and family.
We will vote for JOHN MCCAIN if Obama is nominee !

If you really want to see changes in the way our government is run then vote for Obama! It is that simple people. If you want to look at Bill and Hillary for the next four years, hear her lies, witness her inability to compromise, and watch our government continue to do more for special interest groups then vote for Hillary. Just don't whine and complain when nothing changes!!
Go Obama!!! We may not always like what you say – but you will be honest with the American people! That is exactly what we need!!

What is it that the majority of CNN news stories lead with Senator Clinton first? Regardless of whom I am supporting, Senator Obama is the clear leader in the race so it would seem more accurate to lead with him. Additionally, the first round of quotes and the benefits that the Clinton campaign would reap are typically the lead of any story. While I have discarded such remarks as CNN as the Clinton News Network, I do have say that there is a general bias in reporting that seems to favor her. This includes more photos of her, first quotes, benefits to her campaign, and general lead articles about her bid for the White House.
CNN should stay neutral, give us balanced reporting and stay with the facts…give each candidate equally time and don't be distracted by husbands/ex-presidents or church pastors. Let's see fair and balanced reporting about all the candidates.

Republicans are voting for BILLARY AND ARE CALLING IN TO REPORT TO RUSH LIMBAUGH!

Finally we have a candidate to vote for that's actually a gentleman…..he's smart, he neither white or black. I don't get the problem white folks got with Obama…….(or could it be that he's not all white)! I know you guys won't print this but sometimes the truth hurts!
Why would I want the most important man in the world to be as smart as myself or my friends?
if you question my thoughts just look at the guy that "yall voted for cause you wanted to have a beer with" has done to our country!
Give me a Geek with some knowledge of real life situation and my drink of beer would taste better and I'd have enough gas to get to the store to buy it.

Hillary is better and stronger to win the nomination for democratics.
HILLARY is more electable than Obama (empty speacher, cares only about to seat in the WHITE HOUSE, as he have done in CHICAGO beeing linked to REZKO !!!!!!!! CORRUPTION !!!!!!
I can't trust this guy, no way!!!!! he will win !!!!!
People are smarter, than he things.
Americans VOTE for HILLARY !!!!!!

60 old white lady, Mo:

I find it interesting that "the poll of polls" show Hillary bein g up three points in Indiana, but when reviewing the polls themselves, Fox news has an incredibly large outlier which skews the data. In short, If you get rid of the Fox News poll, then Obama is up in Indiana.

Now, why would Fox have Hillary up in the polls by a large double digit margin, when all other organizations have Obama up (but within the margin of error).

Something stinks really badly about this.

C'mon Indy & NC, lets do this thang. I was born in Kinston NC , go get them Cuz and gang

I also read that Senator Obama has accepted money from lobbyists & very little of that has been reported. Also information about Senator Obama's early childhood, raised in the Muslim faith & sent to Jakarta to be educated by radical Muslims. Why is none of this asked of Senator Obama in the debates? Only the most recent information of his minister in Chicago has been mentioned.

I would also like to know why he did not recognize the flag & show allegience during the playing of the National Anthem? How can some one be commander & chief & not recognize the U. S. Flag?
S. Thompson

"WHO ARE THE PROBLEMS"?… CNN & Billary

Vote Obama 08

I know I won't appear…but I did it anyway…
Love Obama

I'm crossing my fingers for Hillary. Obama has brought back racism to our country.

Okay first of all, May 6th, 2008 1:23 pm ET Ric, you are ridiculous.

Second, how about all of you people who act like you care about Florida and Michigan voters just stop all your pretending. The reason our primary was moved up was because of our REPUBLICAN governor wanting to vote on a tax ammendment. He did it knowing what the party rules are so lets back off. Hillary never fought for our votes to be counted until she started to lose which is one of many reasons why I do not trust her. So all of you people who are so upset that our votes are not being counted, why don't you talk to Charlie Crist? I'm all for having our votes being counted, but there is no fair way or cheap way to do this now. But thanks for caring.

To Hillary4President! :
Maybe the '15′ people just wanted to get you off the phone, you know, like getting rid of a telemarketer.

Dee, Susan, and all the rest of you in Missouri, do you see now that McCain and Hillary are working together. I think John is grooming his new running mate. Remember the fable of the wolf in sheep's clothes.

CNN what is the promblem in your office? please engage H. clinton to check spellings for you, since she is good at checking people's pastors.

A heavy democratic turnout in a Republican state.

Interesting!!!

Doies it ever occur to anyone that republicans are attacking Obama for a reason? Because they KNOW they can beat Hillary in November. She has too much baggage, told too many lies, and if the Peter Paul lawsuit actually occurs in October when it is scheduled she may spend election night in jail. Now tell me, who will be more electable, an honest albeit inexperienced (according to the Hillary crew) candidate or a convicted felon??? Hmmmm….

And just how do Hillary supporters know that Obama supporters are nastier than Hillary's – becuase they are in agreement with Obama and Obama supporters that Michigan and Florida have no right to hear their voices heard. You bet I would not vote for Obama if he gets the nomination and Florida and Michigan are left out. If that happens Obama would be a cheater and would deserve losing.

Jim Richmond well said, i guess you should run for the presidency. You will manage the country very well as it seems you cry fowl about Obama.

Okay you might not be a black man who collect welfer, because you have work, but not everyone is fortunately as you are.

Tell us what position have you held or currently have?

you can't criticise Obama for running for presidency if you have no experience of your own.

Barack Obama is NOT good enough for America.

Obama is 50% American, 6.5% African 43.5% Arab

So I think that makes him Arab-American does it not?
now maybe this is not correct.
maybe it is !

Which would mean he has some more explaining to do,to the African American communities.

And that HE is a lie.

At a political forum last night our supervisor of elections said that the state of Indiana purged over 10% of their voters (1.1 million) from the rolls this year. Of those purged, about 10% were from Lake County (Gary, Indiana). If there isn't a problem at the polls, I would be impressed.

Debby,
you are as right as my right test… sorry. Hand.
People say they saw a couple of white guys with huge (and I mean HUGE) screwdrivers crawling from machine to machine (in black communities) screwing those machines!

Hey "HILLARY 4 PRESIDENT"

I made 60 calls since yesterday, and converted 16 Clinton supporters to Obama's side!

CNN has a Problem with the word.
CNN lets get some live coverage of all those voting for Obama in both North Carolina and Indiana.

Today is Obama day in the USA.

I hope Obama wins both states tonight when its all over .

The people have had enough even if CNN and the rest of the news media want this to go on we don't

Hillary needs to dropout after Tuesday she can never win and will not get the nomination period.

Obama will get alot more SuperDelegates after Tuesday's Primaries are over .

Its over the Hill for Hillary .

I will remember you Hillary Bosnia sniper fire,Cafta=Mark Penn,Nafta=Canada,The Gasoline Scam that McCain came up with and you tried to seel to the American voters,and lastly I will remember how you would blow up Iran if elected President.

Goodbye Crazy Lady goodbye

Lately I have been seeing more and more voters bringing the PeterVClinton scandal to the forefront but where is the news media on this? What is the purpose of their silence? Are they part of the machine that opposes Barack Obama's nomination to the White House? I for one am sick of this race when it clearly is about the numbers. The nominee has been chosen. The clinton's have political pull and campaign workers who are knee deep in just about every scandal there is involving the Clinton's. Take a good look at all of the pardons made by Bill Clinton in the last days of his Presidency, there you will see the names of all their co-conspirators. America please do some investigative work. If you haven't a computer than go to your local libraries and do some research before you cast your vote.

NO BIGOTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

GO HILLARY!!!

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal.
– HL Mencken

Some of your Blog readers need to get a life go outside breath some fresh air . Critizing spelling errors, in a world of acronyms who really is that concerned.
Slow news day when this is all they can critize.

What a mess – Hillary supporters calling Obama voters crazy radicals, Obama supporters calling Hillary voters tricked, mind washed idiots! Spin and media inside help is what this campaign has turned into – it's great that we have the freedom to do this in America but from what started last year as a presidential election the Dems' should have walked is now turning into a race they can't win. I'm sick of the spin and lies – neither Obama or Clinton are looking electable the longer this goes on! Obama gets the nominee, the republicans will go to town on him and destroy him – if Clinton gets it the Republicans will really enjoying making her out to be the crazy white lady that can't be trustred and will lead this country to a terrible dimise! Face it, the longer this goes on and the more dirt that is thrown the less and less people will want either of these two as President!

Open letter to the Obama supporters,

You all idolize your candidate because he speaks of change. Have you forgotten that this was George W's mantra 8 years ago? He was going to change Washington & unite the country. Well, look at what that got us.

If you think that Obama's sweet talking ways are going to change an embedded system like the federal government, you are as naive as you are superficial. And you are so naive to think that Obama is not a liar and typical politician. This man is no more perfect than any other politician, he just speaks of such an inspirational message that you are all too blind to see the truth.

Obama's message is inspirational, but not realistic. Do you honestly think the politicians (that we have all elected) are going to follow Obama simply because of his sweet talking? What competency has he demonstrated that gives him any credibility with the Washington insiders?

We are in the middle of some of the worst crises ever facing this country – a recession, two wars, outrageous gas prices, and inflation rising at a rate that nobody will be able to keep up with. Yet we are willing to turn over our country to an inexperienced man, who if he wins, will have been elected on the basis of race (yes, I said it, now the Obama supporters can call me racist) and because he is an eloquent speaker.

I have never been so dismayed by the superficiality and naivete of our citizens. You will all be sorely disappointed by the lack of change that Obama will bring to Washington, should he be elected. Oh, and you'll be disappointed by the amount of taxes you'll be paying under an Obama administration as well.

So what is the over/under on what time Obama's campaign or one of his support groups goes to federal court to get hand-picked african american precincts to stay open later? Did it in Ohio and they tried in PA.

May 6th, 2008

I feel like all the analyst for CNN don’t like Barack Obama especially, Lou Dobbs, Anderson Cooper, Glenn Beck and a host of others. I know you guys are closet racist using your media jobs as covers for how you really feel. But, it’s people like you, is the reason why a lot of african americans don’t trust white people. I hope Barack wins and become president even though we all know that this racist country is still not ready for a black president and probably will never be. And the reason I say that is because, I see how you closet racist are making sure that working white anglo americans understand (by continuing to glorify the ignorance statements of rev.wright) that we donot need to vote for this nigg**, oops I mean senator Obama. One thing is for sure all you racist SOB’s have to see the face of God.

Why are people so blind to see? Is it merely as simple as her knowing what state she will win, and weeks in advance, calling that state "key", then merely having a ticker-tape speech, to have the media and country fooled into calling that state a crucial victory, a "big" state, regardless of how few votes it provides compared to how many he obtains in states with more votes?

To Tyrone:

Republicans and Independents have voted for Obama in the past primaries. That was before they knew anything about him. Let's see which way the Republicans and Independents vote now.

Go Hillary!

Hillary might just win in NC by a narrow margin. I'm a Hillary supporter, like the rest of her supporters, we make phone calls to NC and Indiana. I've made over 50 calls in NC since yesterday, I've converted 15 Obama supporters to her side…….:-)

You see, people are REALIST, they use common sense in casting their vote.

No supporters are nastier than Hillary's. How do I know? Her supporters are the ones that will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. LMAO

You stupid people. You want Hillary and Bill to represent you!
Say goodbye to your jobs. Google Clinton's and GOOGLE
CLINTON'S OUTSOURCING FOR PERSONAL GAIN WHILE
CAMPAIGNING—- WHAT FOOLS ARE WE? ASK PENN?

Oh.. maybe they want the 30cent gax relief propose by Hillary that will never be heard of after today primary.

So. you really think Hillary means her gas tax holiday? Please think again, because she is the last person on the race to u believe. Check the poll, 75% of American do not trust her.

She knew high gax price is what is up this period and she is ran out of ideas and she wants to use it to win your vote. but can you blame her?

You that voted for her even though you know she can deliver her promise is the fool. Hillary didn't fool you , you fool yourself by voting for someone who you do not trust.

You wonder why things are getting worsen because you have always voted for hot air instead of listening to your heart.

Just think , why do you think someone who have lied on every good stories she tell you to bring about the change you need?

She is very interesting talker, but have not shown any of the changes she have proposes.
where is Bill in all this gas tax holiday debates? Bill said that gas tax holiday will not work and it is not aviable way to reduce gas price this summer. You have to reduce your consumption on oil and that will force the price to fall. Hey do you want to use your road money to buy gas? if you drive on rough road you will endup spending more on gas than you save.

A liar is always a liar. Not one time, not 2 times, not 3 times but many times in your face and laugh out about like ooohhhh. you fool….mm well i misspoke, every make mistake,and if you don't like it too bad.

People are turning out for TRUTH and CHANGE!!!
Rock the vote NC and IN!!

So tired of stupid people saying that the Clinton are negative and run negative adds against Obama, what the hell are they suppose to do agree with him?
You can tell that it is the young voters leading the way here cause they have no idea what they are talking about.
You want to know what is negative? How about the fact that Every little thing the Clintons have done in the past has been out before the campaign had started and Obama had nothing out till the old Rev. came along. Do you think he would have made it this far?
All the bagges Clinton has and she is still here and kicking.

Other than the health care plan Hillary lifted from Edwards, the only plus I saw listed was that Elizabeth likes the fact a woman is running. Great…but let's not choose this woman.

Everything else seems to be in Obama's court, especially when it comes to business as usual and lobbysts. So let's get on with it NC and IN…let's chose the real leader this country so desperately needs now.

Debbie, you are the prime example of what is wrong with blacks. Cry foul before it even happens. You have a black man who doesn't even deserve to be a mayor, yet he is running to be our president. Blacks should only blame blacks for what has happened to them. I hope blacks don't expect that all of sudden welfare money is going to increase three fold. If obama gets nominated, expect McCain to dominate. No sound minded whites will vote for Obama with his socialist agenda. He has no substance of his own, thus he only attacks other candidates' idea. If Obama gets elected, this country is done. The world will turn to Europe for leadership. That's a fact and we should consider before sending Obama to our Democratic nominee.

Don't mean to be offensive, but when I think about the Catholic Church and the pacts that it made with Nazis, I don't know how anyone can remain Catholic. Yet this country elected a Catholic president (JFK) and millions never felt the need to renounce the Catholic Church. My point is, why can't Obama continue to belong to his church even if he doesn't agree w/his pastor? Catholics do it all the time. They stay Catholic even though they don't agree w/the Pope or its teachings.

If Obama is so great, why is there such a divideinthe party? For people who espouse an interest in a new climate in politics you certainly know how to sling the mud at anyone who disagrees with you. You are a disgrace to Obama and are only succeeding in fracturing the Dems even more.

I find it to be strange how Hillary puts on a gimmick to be elected and the people still voted for her anyway!! What's up with that? The people want to believe a lie more then the truth!!! I don't understand!! Go Obama Go!!!!!!!

Obama = false hope, no substance, no experience
Clinton = understands the issues, provides viable solutions, many years serving our country.

It kills me that Obama has the nads to actually attack other candidates proposals when he doesn't even have one of his own! Real easy to be critical of other's work where you have none to show for yourself. The more I hear from you, the more I dislike you.

If Obama gets the nomination, the election is over. He's already cried foul when the media took his pillow away – not to forget he's the leading nominee now BECAUSE of the media. Wait until the republicans get their hands on him.

Divided we will fall? Yes we can.

GOOGLE CLINTON OUTSOURCING AND GOOGLE CLINTON'S!!
It will knock your socks off. Unbelievable. And why did CNN not
report ANY of this! I have lost total respect for the media attacks on
Obama.

Stephany, according to your name theory the next president of US is going to be Ayatolla Khomeyni. This name surely means something good.

Obama will take NC….and my hope is that he will take Indiana too – I'm still baffled on how anyone could vote for Clinton….do you guys just forget she made up a sniper attack….changed positions almost daily…etc….etc

I think that the most troubling thing about Obama is that he is a smart man, but in 20 years he could not figure out that Rev Wright is a racist and anti-American. I don't see any judgement here. Furthermore, I have four kids, and frankly, if my pastor started preaching KKK USA, God D#mn America, and the U.S. Govt gave black people Aids, I would have walked out of that church.

I'm a democrat, but if Obama wins the nomination, my family and I are voting McCain. It's all about Patriotism, and I think if you are going to be Commander-In-Chief, you need a little.

Hillary 08

WHY DON'T YOU ANNOUNCE THAT "NO MORE" COMMENTS CAN BE PRINTED "BEFORE" WE SPEND TIME WRITING OUR OPINIONS? WHEN I FINISHED, ABOUT THE EDWARDS LACK OF ENDORSEMENT, IT WAS TOO LATE TO BE VIEWED.

People who do not vote for Obama because of the horrendous
Media coverage, Have not been told "the truth about the Clinton's
Amazing to me how CNN could have "skipped" the GOOGLE
CLINTON'S AND GOOGLE CLINTONS OUTSOURCING. READ,
BECAUSE CNN WILL NOT TELL YOU!!! BILL'S CHEATING IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT YOU WILL READ ABOUT TWO PEOPLE THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO
"BONNIE AND CLYDES OF MODERN DAY AMERICAN POLITICS."
THE CHEATING WAS NOTHING!!!!

Did EDWARDS hold out for the likes of these people because he
has been promised the V.P. job. That is exactly how the Clintons
work. Their own friends are walking away. That takes courage
because you "DON'T walk away from the Clinton's and not
face wrath.

What a disgrace that some Americans would trade $28 in their pocket in exchange for 100's of other Americans to LOSE THEIR JOBS when the Federal highway programs get cut to make up for budget deficits — because that's what Hillary/McCain's ridiculous gas tax proposal will boil down to.

Yay America!

Yay Stupid people!

…God help us.

Wait the big problem is the 2 Candidates they are choosing from.
Take your money candidate 1 and…
Take your money candidate 2.

Can you Dems please explain what good these 2 yahoos will do for us?

I know, I know, Bush hasn't been the greatest.
And I am not a big McCain backer at all, but the alternative to McCain is a couple of people that want to take away my choices and freedoms and money.
McCain is not the same as Bush. Warwise maybe, but I think and hope thats a big hope, that he would be able to do a better job at the management level of it all. We do need to finish what we started. Don't for 1 second believe that either Obama or Clinton will end this war. This war is going to go on forever. We can go after them or wait until they come after us.

I want to remark on numbers how many superdelegates have endorsed each candidate since the democratic primaries and caucuses began on January 3:
Barack Obama: 130 (68.5 %)
Hillary Clinton: 60 (31.5%)

Come join the winning side!!!

Go Barack GO

Something I have noticed when blogging on this site: Many Obama supporters "handles" identify themselves by their race. Why? Does this mean that they are really open-minded without any prejudice in their body? Or does this mean as many of them have said that we Hillary supporters are racists?

One thing I know for sure is that the Obama supporters are very nasty, they are name-callers when it comes to Hillary and Bill and they are uniformed so they make personal attacks instead of discussing issues.

MMMmmmmmm, very interesting!!!!

Go Hillary 2008/2012>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim, why should Barack be ashamed of hismiddle name? Are you ashamed of not knowing the difference between know and no?

"I will be voting for experience in November not lack of experience"

So you will be voting for McCain over Hilliary no matter what then? Since he has real government experience besides being married to the president and has real military experience besides imagining being under sniper fire?

I really would like some answers here. All you Hill supporters say is EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE EXPEREINCE, if Hill got the nomination how can you possibly use that argument and vote for hill over McCain then? Its simple, YOU CANT.

if Obama had used the word "PROMBLEM", his followers would now be saying it is a perfectly good word and it has always been that way.

And they would come after you if you said anything about it.

Go Obama and end this nightmare. Send the Wicked with and her troll husband back to New Yor, or is it Arkansas, or is it Pennsylvania, or is it Texas, or is it Ohio, or is it Illinois? She has claimed so many homes, I can't keep them straight anymore! NO CLINTON IN 2008!!

As an African American -

To all Obama supporters – thank you!

Yes, Obama is getting more black votes but what really bring tears to our eyes and to our family is not the black-votes………… it's people like you – yes it's the white votes for Obama that really gives us HOPE!

Thank you white voters for voting for Obama and showing your support for him!

Again, thank you!

PLEASE Post CNN…….
I'd like to hear FEEDBACK on this from Hillary supporters. (not just 'she will win' or 'the superdelegates will do that'):

If Hillary wins Indiana by 5 or 6 % today and Obama wins NC by 8% today, then it's beyond huge odds for Hillary moving ahead.

She could then when all six remaining primaries by 15% on average, a number she has yet to win a single primary by, and would still need 76% of the remaining superdelegates to reach the golden mark of 2025.

Yet, Obama could then still loose all of the remaining by 15% and only need 33% of the remaining superdelegates to cast their vote for him. He's also done fairly well in the north west during these primaries, where a number of the remaining primaries are. He was last favored in Puerto Rico also (though I have not heard any immediately recent polls for there).

Does anyone really think it's going to help the democratic party in November for her to stay in the race after today? I understand everyone's vote should count, but how harmful is it for her to continue toward the Democratic party winning in November? All McCain has been doing for weeks now is trying to win democratic voters and planning/increasing his finances, while attacking Obama already (much more then he has Hillary, much, much more, because he knows he's most likely the Democratic candidate now).

Final question: Why would a true Democrat, as so many of Hillary's supporters claim they are, vote for McCain? That's just a sign of bitterness and nothing but pride/jealousy. Throw away America's future and it's youth because you were bitter she didn't win. He's old politics, he follows the exact same republican mold that has really hurt this country in the last eight years.

i am so disappointed with CNN's coverage of the democratic primary elections. i've never been so engaged in an election and I am 41 years old…..now I know why? In the past I viewed you're organization as an objective professional news worthy organization (not like FOX news). I would not have believed that your organization, CNN, could be so biased or one sided if I had not seen it for myself. I was an undecided voter but now I am definitely going for OBAMA. What ever happened to integrity and honesty…your organization doesn't have that and neither does Hiliary Clinton.
I have been a loyal viewer for more than 20 years but, not anymore. I will participate in the blackout on May 15, 2008.

I am still waiting on CNN to talk about the many broken voting machines in North Carolina in the black communities and how many people have been standing for hours this morning.

To Philadelphia,PA:

I'm with you sweetie ! Go Obama…..

These blogs are better than reading the tabloids. LOL Boy Obama has some insane supporters. Its a little scary to think of him as President with these nuts voting for him.

Is CNN's greatest team in politics outsourced from India??

How come know will ask obama if he is ashame of his middle name?

Lets see what story Hillary cooks up tonight to stay in the race. Will be interesting for sure.

CNN – Attention Attention – Comment against Hillary BLOCK it.

Jill… he always sounds like Obama, whether you like him or not, he is not putting on facades to get votes, or introducing ridiculous "solutions" to get the vote of the uninformed or desperate. but like I said, its just MY opinion. Disagree if you like, but at least think about it.

maybe Obama should be the next Dr Phil… since he is just all talk, he hasn't done anything and he thinks he can president, he has a good speech but nothing to back it up, I would love if he said more than just look at my web site to get what he plans to do rather than actually telling us how he is going to do it

GO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!

Why are you people on CNN sight if you don't like them. I think they have been very fair to the Obama's more so then to the Clinton's.

You Obama supporters are starting to scare me. Also, I don't like the name calling because we are supportering Sen. Clinton.

I am not stupid or a racist. I look at the facts and Obama just doesn't have the experience. He was in a church that was very unAmerican, his wife was not proud to be an American and he has an attitude problem. Infact it is the same attitude I saw in Bush 7 years ago when John McCain ran against him. You say Sen. Clinton is another Bush just look at Obama.

I will be voting for experience in November not lack of experience.

Lets see what story Hillary cooks up tonight to stay in the race. Will be interesting for sure.

Maybe the headline was written by a White reporter who uses his right side to relate with his keyboard (object). Employ more blacks, CNN, so that spelling can be related to more properly with he left side of the brain (subject) lol, lol.

Poor Rev. Wright. Somebody should have told him that 'Silence is golden'. Now he has lost his place amongst all of Americans. I hope he prays for Hilary's win, so that he can be made the Secretary of Religion. Haa haa haa.

The sad reality is that this country does not deserve someone as brilliant, thoughtful, honest and dedicated as Barack Obama. The folks who are voting are the same 250 million people who voted Bush in twice…so why would we think that in 8 years they have gotten any better educated or wise. This country's highest rated TV shows in the past few years have been American Idol, Survivor and Monday Night Footbal, enough said.

Hillary = President

Obama = Vice President

McCain = loser

What's a "promblem?"

That's when your prom date throws up on your rented tux.

Annonymous,
I don't think she will, I hope she won't, but if she does, then add me and all the young voters to your list.

FloridaVoter- you are absolutely right! You can't be the 'most liberal' and win in a general election. Why do you think Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are supporting Obama. Kennedy and Kerry both tried and lost and yes, they are both VERY liberal! Some of 'old Washington' like Kennedy and Kerry want Obama for their puppet, that's all.

PJ Independent,NEW YORK, who are you the new CNN? Thanks for all that useless information. We don't remember asking!!!!

Media Blackout May 15th, you GO!!!!!!!!!!!

My god, are you nasty Obama supporters ever going to get a life?? The sun does not rise & set over him. You keep calling Clinton a liar…take a look at how Obama skirts isssues, claims he misspoke, and of course the good old Rev Wright. He lied about that so many times but everyone glossed over that esp the official Obama News Network. He's where he's at because of the racial vote. Most Americans are afraid of the uprising that would happen if he didn't win. If you read the blogs yesterday there was an esp crude one in there and I"m sure many others would follow suit. I'm not a racist and I"m an undecided voter but you people really turn me off on Obama. If this is the type of following he has then we can only imagine what his cabinet would be like. He keeps blaming Clinton for voting for the war, even thouh he wasn't able to vote for it, but how many other people that are on his "team" did vote for it. He talks about old Washington politics…Kennedy, kerry, and how many others have been around Washington forever. They will be the ones advising him. He won't have a script or teleprompter to read off of when he's meeting with foreign leaders so we can look forward to another few years of Bushs stumbling. If you want him to win then please stop the nastiness we get enough of that from his wife. Please print CNN

Go get em' rookie Obama!

I pray that you win both states today!

Google "Clinton Outsourcing" for some great info about your favorite candidate.

The choice is yours

Obama is the person who brought out the record number of people and new voters all across the country to come out and vote. His voice caused people to listen. He has made a change and he is making a difference. He has made history for all young voters like myself. No politican thought about us except for Obama. Hillary had to change her campiagn theme several times just to relate to Obama's campaign theme for Change. Hope is more then words. It's reality. "President Barack Obama". Barack means Blessed. Therefore, giving him the opportunity to become the next President will be like recieving a blessing from God to heal our nation.

Hillary as president riding on her husband coat tails will be the Hirschers of Argentina…after her lies the Argentine president is clueless and driving the country down …….

America needs a uniter not a divider …actually the entire world needs ..no talk of obliterating each other !!

Whoever 08 but not Hillary

Go Hillary, we love you! Our country needs you to turn around. WE NEED BREAD & BUTTER!

Smart American citizens, let's unite together to get our country back. Hillary is THE ONE can let us have hope.

Go Hillary!

you people touting paulvclinton are basically willing to support a convicted drug dealer and felon in dealing illegal trade to Cuba…..

no wonder you support Obama!

you're not doing your research and are puppets just like him.

Objective Observer in TO…very astute!

You noticed that Hillary's "comeback" began right around the time the Republican's settled their own nomination race.

You can't have the MOST LIBERAL RECORD IN THE US SENATE and expect to win in November!

I am a conservative Democrat and would NEVER go for that!

Mirta wrote: "Why is it every time there is a photo posted of voters on election day it is of African American voters? They only make up 14% of the population of the USA….I feel like the race card is being played on me all the time now!!!"

Mirta, I think that sounds like a personal problem.

I know some are tired of being called racists (while the rest of us are just tired of racism), and I hear Elizabeth Edwards' point that the first woman is also a very important symbolic statement. But lets keep in mind that because only 14% of the population is Black, our first Black president is, well, a little more symbolic.

Mirta, if you're tired of seeing Black people voting, maybe you should build a time machine.

By the way, because women are 51% of the population, there are many, many of them that would make wonderful Presidents. Even a few that don't lie like it's their job.

This is a suggestion on the Gas tax holiday.

Since none of these candidates are going to be president this summer, and there are only about 20 days to Memorial day this needs to be proposed by Senator Clinton and McCain and since 1 is Democrat and 1 Republican seems to be reaching across party lines, so all of Congress could vote on this and not be afraid of their future.

Will Bush sign this bill, why not what does he have to loose his approval rating is 28% can't go much lower.

No, this will not do much for me, but for people who have to drive long distances and especially Truck Drivers this could help. I have family that drives a Tractor-Trailer and they are hurting.

Yes the Oil Companies should pick up the cost, and maybe if the members of Congress could try to do something short term to help the average person and both sides come together and send a message to the Oil companies that they have been in control long enough.

Obama does not have to do anything as usual. He will probably still win the nomination, since that is what the DNC desires, and he can just push the not voting button.

Hope that when all of this is over, that Howard Dean is job searching.

Houston, we have a PROMBLEM!!!

This is so funny…

Obama supporters have completely forgotten that Obama said he would bomb Pakistan!

They complain about Hillary and Iran…as if Obama never said he would bomb Pakistan.

You people don't even know your own candidate.

Sounds like…cheat!!
What is CNN trying to tell us ? Technical problem, then…Hillary wins NC ? What a jock ! Who do you thing is buying this ?
Every time a race is tight, you claim a problem… This is the only way a looser can win a nomination.

This time tomorrow, Barack Obama will be the presumtive nominee.

You heard it here!

""I am heartsick for you democrats. You have to make a choice between two truly flawed candidates. Can't you just write-in "Mickey Mouse" and serve your country a lot better?""

Many people will write in their candidate's name in November if they don't get the nomination. It will be enough to give us President McCain.

Obama has no record of change. Hillary Clinton has a record of working across the isle with Republicans and she was re-elected by 67% of the vote here in NY, which meant that a solid coalition of Republicans and Democrats re elected her in the Senate.

Enough of the pies in the skies already! Don't tell me Barack, show me me or shut up. Enough already with this Kumbaya, One-Love, Let's get together and feel alright Utopic rhetoric. Where is your record of having ever done that? It's non-existent. Go figure!

How do you be pro-choice, against the death penalty, and unite all America? For real? How? No really! How? Give me a break! Who are you fooling, the educated fools? That, ladies and gentlemen is the biggest political con of all 2008!

Hillary 08!

Heavy Turnout? Or are crossover Republicans coming out to vote for Clinton to prolong Democrat primaries?

How come the media doesn't examine the crossover voting where the Republicans vote in Democrat primaries? These "strategic voters" vote for the weaker Democrat candidate to prolong primaries. In other words, a vote for Clinton in the primaries helps the Republican party. There were 100,000 Republicans who voted for Clinton in Texas. There were also a significant number of crossover voters who voted for Clinton in Ohio. How many crossover voters are going to vote for Clinton in Indiana?

Why does the Democrat party allow open voting and allow Republicans to put a monkey wrench into their primaries?

Majority of CNN reporters and analysts 're uneducated ….can't s construct simple english and spelling…..What a shame?? the imaginary best political team on tv……………………

Hillary will make the best president.
Don't vote Obama, he is just empty words…

why aint the media talkin about peter paul Vs Hillary..

I am heartsick for you democrats. You have to make a choice between two truly flawed candidates. Can't you just write-in "Mickey Mouse" and serve your country a lot better?

Go Obama!

I am sick of Hillary and the news-media!

The large turn-outs are not for Hillary!

I am just so fed up with the media hype. Hillary is losing people!!!!!!! she has to win large percentages of the remaining contests to even pull close in the delegate and popular vote…so her only option is to tear Obama down and in the end convince superdelegates that he is vulnerable….HELLO!!!!!! she was a "shoe-in" 10 months and then failed miserably in her campaign…that should make the superdelegates nervous…she cant raise money and she cannot unite or excite people. HERE IS MY MESSAGE TO THE SUPERDELEGATES….IF YOU GO AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, YOU WILL ENSURE A MCCAIN PRESIDENCY…BE AWARE.

I won't get too excited about this huge voter turn out.

Yes Sen. Obama is responsible for most of the new Dem. turnout. On the other hand thousands of Republicans have crossed over, I think to vote for Sen. Clinton. Why? because they think that she is the easiest candidate for McCain to beat come November. Frankly I think this is wrong, and if the super delegates don't realize what is happening I would be very surprised, These cross over Rep. are not going to vote Dem. in November, they are going to vote Rep.

""As Joan from Ontario correctly points out, there is a HUGE problem in IN developing. Due to the openness of the IN primary, large numbers of Republicans are turning out and voting for Hillary to mess up this election. This is really troubling and further evidence that Hillary's "momentum" may be a complete farce.""

Yes, but at least the superdelegates know that, even if the people don't.

I was bothered that superdelegates were going to be deciding this outcome at first, but not any more, and that's why.

It seems like a lot of people have too much time on their hands. Looking at the spelling and grammar, the dope-smoking senator from Chicago must have appointed his friends and family to work the Comment Board today.

I have great feeling that one day America will learn that the division of its Citizens not good and start to respect and honor intellectuals disregard their color or religion. Every person has cynical mind but everyone needs to over come it by rationale and positive thinking. I am sure it will take years to come to happen with America.

Indiana and North Carolina… If you vote for Hillary today..its a loose… She will loose agains McCain in November… SDhe has a lot of baggage much more than anyone else…She might go in Jail by then… Check all the facts : google- Clinton vs Paul ; Cliton outsourcing…

We all know that a huge voter turnout doesn't bode well for the "GIMMICK" candidate. People only turn out in large number when they are inspired and we know who inspires in this campaign. I hope we will finally see the time for the Democratic Party to heal and come together under the Elected Nominee Barrack Obama. CNN I hope you have been looking at the stories to cover in the future looks like this welfare ride is over!

People complaining about the color of the people in the snapshot CNN puts next to ticker stories.

This nomination battle has become so deliciously toxic.

what of this problem i've heard about with Voting machines in strong African American Regions in NC? The Clinton News Network wouldn't want people thinking this was rigged now would they?

No wonder Hillary is getting preferntial treatment from CNN. Bush is an editor! "Promblem"

I just hope Obama blows hillary out today, I do not want to hear CNN and other media getting any news of this. I like to see the Media out of bussiness we need a break from the Media crap tired of this people with their bias.

It is not only the spelling problem CNN has, it is the fact and record checking…………
a 9.3% is a 10 per cnn "best political team,"

Clinton National Network News……………. need I say more

CNN is so busy attacking Obama they having problem spelling words correctly

Obama 08

steveda – and Obama sounds like a preacher when he gets cocky .. so what's your point?

Has The Gimmick Candidate mounted her horse preparing to ride back to her native homeland in Kentucky yet?

Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything ‘08

I hope the voters in NC and Indiana can hear McCains chorus of "Bomb – bomb-bomb-bomb Iran" in their head as they vote. Oh I forgot background vocals were by provided by Hillary Clinton – remember that too and choose wisely!!!

If Hillary wins the nominee i am definately not voting

THIS WOMAN IS DEVIOUS AND SICK.
BILL IS SICKER.

Heavy turout means HILLARY will WIN BOTH IN & NC… let the Obamanations eat that!

Hillary is now saying the magic number is 2209 delegates to win the nomination. Whenever she falls further behind she tries to change the rules. Michigan and Florida knew the rules. Hillary had and still has name recognition while Obama is new. They were not allowed to campaign in either state. That gave Clinon a huge unfair advantage in both states. The vote was illegitimate. If they change the rules to help out Hillary it will not only be devistating to the Democratic party it will be illegal and corrupt. Something the Clintons are used to.

Oh but there is a "serious problem"….

As Joan from Ontario correctly points out, there is a HUGE problem in IN developing. Due to the openness of the IN primary, large numbers of Republicans are turning out and voting for Hillary to mess up this election. This is really troubling and further evidence that Hillary's "momentum" may be a complete farce.

Ya know there have been a lot of charges about Hillary's honesty and thet she is willing to do anyting to get elected. Along that vein, am I the only one that noticed that the Pennsylavania country girl, that has become the Senator ffrom NY suddenly developed a southern accent in North Carolina? Should I mention the word PANDERING?
Personally I find it disgusting that she would fake an accent.
But thats just my opinion.

If Hillary wins, it will because of her and Bill's lies and hypocrisy.
And Edwards held out because she must have promised him
the V.P. Oh, my God, and Edwards acted like he cared for the poor!

Bill and Hillary are like the Bonnie and Clyde's of American Politics.

Don't believe me. GOOGLE Clintons and Clintons OUTSOURCING
for personal gain and personal fortune.

Why do blue-collar workers support Hillary?

Hillary's distinguished foreign experience has helped her decide to Bomb Iran as fast as she can. Guess who will be sent to Iran? Not Chelsea. Most likely, they will be the sons and daughters of blue-collar workers. I won't trust Hillary to command my children in civil service, never mind military service.

If you want to support an unqualified commander-in-chief who will not even listen to experts' advice, you vote for Hillary. The danger is that she thinks she knows everything. If you are not with her, you are against her. That really fits the definition of a dynasty, doesn't it?

Obama and his fans are going to destroy our party!

The turn out is evidence that the primary competition is good for the party and good for the country. What is not good is the intemperate statements on both sides mostly by supporters. Those supporters can blame no one for their unhealthy remarks than their own lack of propriety. Castigating your opponent and/or your opponent's supporters does not shift the focus from bad behavior. Let's all be spirited but keep track of our mouths and minds a little more and by all means savor the contest, the rest of the world is!!!!

I can not believe the Hillary look for the poor people in low places to talk about the gas prices and try to tell them how rich they are going to get this summer with the $20.00 they'll get. She thinks they are stupid? She thinks they can not think about that? One more thing she matches with McCain ah? As I said before, this woman can not think for herself. She always has to depend on others to think for her.
She wants to "copy" everything as the years when Bill was in power and she forgets that, thing are not the same. Poor Hillary, she is so stupid!!

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Barack Hussein Obama, “The Audacity of Hope” (emp. added) .

This gas tax holiday is an obvious rearing of the ugly head and shows what Clinton is all about. Do we really want another president that will not listen to people who know more and actually have experience in their fields? The way Bush ignored the experts before attacking Iraq to pursue his own oil agenda? Regarding the gas tax: "Obama's stance was backed up by 230 economists who released a letter Monday opposing the temporary tax break, which would take 18.4 cents off the price of a gallon if consumers got the full savings at the pump. The signers included four Nobel Prize winners and economic advisers to presidents of both parties." A wise person listens to those who have experience and makes intelligent decisions after listening. An experienced person without wisdom will make the mistakes over and over again until it becomes a habit born out of experience. Nothing more need be said.

Oh yeah hillary supporters unlike the last couple of contests that Hillary "won" these 2 states have open primaries…a state where Reps and Independants can vote!! You might not wanna crack open the champange just yet…

You Obama supporter's are MORONS… at this point, neither Obama or Clinton can win the general election. The party is HUGELY divided.

As for the nomination- they should 'give' it to Clinton, she's their best shot at winning in November. You all keep talking about her not having a chance of winning the DEM nomination, saying 'do the math', etc. You're a bunch of idiots though… the Super Delegates will decide this. We've known for MONTHS that neither one of the candidates would be able to win with 'regular' delegates. These are the dumb rules that the Democratic party came up with, so let's follow them now. The cowardly DEMS who are Super Delegates don't want to be forced to publicly make their choice, fearing they'll regret it later. Well, once again, these are the rules.

Hillary Clinton has HUGE momentum right now. If she wins Indiana and comes very close in North Carolina or even wins North Carolina by a small margin, this will definitely change the whole game. Then if the Super Delegates still continue to throw their support to Obama, it will only further divide the party, as a HUGE percentage of Clinton supporter's will vote for McCain.

If Obama is awarded the DEM nomination, McCain will win the general election by one of the biggest landslides in US history… just watch and see.

No problems yet? That's because the vote engineering takes place behind the scenes. If Obama doesn't like the people's voting he will fix the caucus. If Obama doesn't like your state – you will be blocked. He will do anything to win. Let FL and MI have a voice too!

In case evryone missed the last minute stump speeches:

Hillary had lots of specific action-based ideas on a variety of topics.
Obama got the crowd to cheer and criticized Hillary.

Please check out with the exit polls how many Republicans have voted today for Hilary Clinton as Rush Lilmbaugh has been telling them to do. They want her to get the nomination because she has such high negatives with the Conservative right and it will mobilize them. They have nothing to lose because they already have their candidate. Everyone knows the huge Democratic turnouts this year have been because of Obama's fresh outlook and inspiration.

Record turn out should be 95% rather than this 60% or something close. This country should be embarressed at how few vote. I think just as many (if not more) vote in some tv show like American Idol as do in a real election that actual means something. Wake up America! Stop being stupid! VOTE!!

Don't vote? Don't complain.

Good news for Obama its time to bury Clinton and move on.

Go Obama. I am white and educated I am not voting out of fear.

It was not Reverand Wright that damaged Barack Obama…it was 24/7 coverage of this meaningless issue for weeks by cable news that damaged Obama. Where is the coverage of the Clinton's negatives? What about Paul vs Clinton in California? What if Hillary is in jail when she gets the nomination?

Just a little while and the truth shall come out and all doubts shall disappear!

Proof Positive that CNN are Hillary supporters….they can't spell!

haha, no, no promblems at all

Here's the deal, regardless of these primaries today. The reality is most Americans fall into the center, and the candidate who wins the center will win the general election. Guess what? McCain will pull a LOT of centrist voters. His record and the public's perception is that he is enough of a maverick to NOT be another Bush. On global warming, gun control, and stem cell research he has been a centrist. Plus, he actually has executive experience AND has the military experience to comprehend and deal with the Iraq quagmire. The fact is McCain will win in November because we don't have a candidate like Bill Clinton to co-opt some of the right's issues. Hillary will lose because she is not likeable – rather the opposite, many dislike her greatly. Obama will lose because he is too liberal, has no experience, and Wright's remarks will resonate and put off many voters. In this day and age, it is remarkable that the Democratic party has picked two losers, gender and race aside.

The weather is reportedly good, there should be no problems with voters getting to the polls.

Media Blackout May 15th, that is the best comment I have seen in a long time, and I have seen some great ones!!!!Good for you!!!

It will be Hillary's legacy to have taken down the Dem Party after this election no matter if she wins or loses.

Those in Indiana that vote for Hillary either believe liars or are racist.
Google the Clinton's and Then Google CLINTON OUTSOURCING.

CNN needs to fire their proof reading staff.

If Superdelegates hand over the charity nomination to Hill, will Obama think of running independent? He'll have the moral ground to do so!!!

"Media Blackout May 15th"'s comment is so DEAD ON! hahaha!

Hillary is full of gimmicks. She IS a gimmick.

Why doesn't the media focus on Wright's invitation to the White House when Billy & Hilly had the problem with the Filly?

It's time for change, for real solutions not gimmicks, vote Obama!

"Promblems"? I think CNN is the one having problems!

Has The Gimmick Candidate announced she promised the Edwards to rename North Carolina to Edwardslina yet?

High voter turn out sounds good for Barack , I am can't wait for the results.

OBAMA 2008

VOTERS BEWARE:

VOTE NOW FOR OBAMA! BY THE END OF SUMMER YOUR VEHICLES MAY BE FUELED WITH HOT AIR IF YOU LISTEN TO HILLARY!!

Lies, lies, and more lies. That is what we will get from the Clintons once again. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". "We had to run for cover because we were under sniper fire." If you like lies then the Clintons are your best choice. I don't like liars myself but that's just a personal opinion.

Please, good people of Indiana and North Carolina…..

A vote for clinton is a vote for snake oil and smoke and mirrors. Please don't waste it on hillary .

PLEASE VOTE FOR THE FUTURE.

VOTE OBAMA .

So are you saying that something is going wrong at the prom????

"Promblems"? Uh oh…..Looks like Bush is writing for CNN now!

CNN "the Best Political Team on Television"

I have commented on this before and I will bet you won't print this.

Why is it every time there is a photo posted of voters on election day it is of African American voters? They only make up 14% of the population of the USA….I feel like the race card is being played on me all the time now!!!

Hillary '08

What's a "promblem"??
Perhaps CNN has a "problem"?
No wonder Democrats are split -
they have a promblem problem.

Promblems?

Is this like how the space shuttle travels 18 times the speed of light?

DO the math if cliniton wins by 15% of all that is left she would still loose do the MATH NOW IF THEY OVER RIDE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND SHE WIN THAT WAY WHAT HAS SHE WON?? THEN JOHN MCCAIN HAS IT

oh LORD. Please have someone proof these articles.

And we owe most of the heavy turnout to Barack Obama. Say what you want Hillary supporters but he does inspire. You know and I know if it was Billary and anyone else the turnout would not be this high, no where near out. I am making a prediction he will win BOTH states. Any others with me????

SLOWPOKE
cnn has a proublem period. they don't want to push the garbage on hillay, but my god,poor barack. we all know who they favor especially wolf, jack cafferty is good. the only one

barack will win and i thank the voters for that.

"Heavy turnout reported, few promblems seen"

The only promblems are on the CNN ticker.

Nice headline, CNN. What exactly are "promblems?" Not having a date for the Prom?

You need to get some proofreaders or spell-check.

What's a "promblem?"

Oh, the irony!

Has The Gimmick candidate announced she and Bill will travel to Iraq to suck up the oil, store it in their cheeks to get through Customs to help save the American people .0005 cents yet?

Just a problem with CNN's ability to spell correctly and to practice sound journalism.

"Heavy turnout reported, few PROMBLEMS seen"

???
LOL. 'Nuff said

CNN has promblems with spell check
