GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the way Obama talks but he does not give enough information to hold him accountable for change. I want this country to be out of debt! I want lower gas prices. A decent payraise for the disable and eldery, so they don't have to decide food or medicine. Yes I want change too, but I like the way Hillary talks, straight to the point and tells me on what issues I can hold her accountable. She has done alot for this county. I think she will do more. GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since people think the voting is all about race, I thought I'd let you know that this white woman from NC voted for Obama. It isn't just the black votes he is getting, as much as some of you would like to think it's all about race. It seems to be more about common sense and intelligence level than race.

Thank you Indiana & North Carolina! I know you will both put in a strong showing for Obama today! And, I have talked to many of you, and whoever you vote for, I appreciate the thought and research everyone is putting into their decision. I've done a good bit of calling and never found as many informed and coscientious voters as I did this time.

yes we can!!

Sorry you Nobama people! If this country stands on its principles, they will have to count Florida and Michigan or have a revote. If they don't, then the message goes out that they aren't important enough to the United States. What is Obama afraid of? As far as the delegates and superdelegates go, they know who is more electable. Besides, if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, all us good old Dems will vote for McCain because we can't chance an Obama/Wright ballot in Nov…

If Hillary is drafted by the Democratic party superdelegates, the people who are most likely to desert her won’t necessarily be African Americans. It’s much more likely to be people who are educated, including street educated. People who understand the difference between fact and spin, between pandering and more permanent solutions.

Despite what the "talking heads" of the networks and even the campaigns might say, these people will know that Hillary misused the Democratic process. It's too bad the authors of our constitution could not have envisioned the many ways of communicationg we have today, and the many "tricks" we have today to motivate people to act by sidestepping their intellects. One provblem is that politica has few rules in this regard, but many "talking heads" seem too thrilled by the "play-by-play" to consider what might be fair.

Those who are concerned are likely to leave Hillary Clinton in droves.

Hello People

If Hillary is given the nomination when Obama has won all that is required to win the normination. The world will see how racist American is and there will never be peace in this society.

The young are voting for him, the educated are voting for him, forward thinkers are voting for him what else do you want. American is not made of only "middle" americans.

The world is changing so is America but some people still refuse to see it. Maybe it's becuase those few havent travelled far from where they were born.

if Amercan wants to maintain it's position in the world, its about time we stop thinking that the world revolves around washington. Most people in the world know what we know and we cant continue to full them all the time.

Obama has the vision to get people to lay down their guns and join the line.

May GOD HELP America

»»VOTE OBAMA. IGNORE that FAKE,IRRITATING,DULL Woman!… Go Obama.

go obama put the old lying panering hag out to pasture where she belongs she s a has been

I'm a white woman. I am supporting Obama. This is not white guilt. This is not jumping on the band wagon. This is a vote AGAINST the ridiculous politics of recent history that puts power and money in the hands of corrupt individuals who are only out for personal glory. This is a vote FOR a change back to the days of the public SERVANT who listened to the people, used logic, and voted conscience rather than for money.

In my opinion, Hillary is looking for power, and she is using the corrupt and devious nature of current politics to help her gain ground. Obama and McCain are looking for a change in the political process.

We need strong leaders, but leaders who work for US and not for other countries or lobbyists or corporations.

Go Obama…and if not him, McCain.

Meanwhile, if Hillary looses either of the states, NC and IN, and doesnt drop out, then i can conclude her aim is to damage Obama and finally take up a VP slot with Mcain. Else, there is NO reason to continue, except also, she wants the campaign to continue so she could pay off its debts.

GO HILLARY>>>>TEXAS LOVES YOU>>>>>>

Congratulations Hillary. You've done more damage to the Democratic party than John McCain ever could hope to.

YES to true judgement on IRAQ !
YES to a new, principled, and non-partisan dynamic in Washington !

Lets Get Real, and Close the Deal !!! Obama.

Well, for once our votes may count for something. My wife and I were numbers 12 and 13 at our polling place this morning and I am encouraging everyone who can vote to do so, regardless of who they cast their lot with. Go Dems:)

HIlary can't change big oil. BEsides it's too late for congress to vote on such a measure. what a sly tactic

I know the people of Indiana are smart enough to see past a promise that can't be kept by someone who does not have the nomination yet to lower gas prices. Keeping in mind that She would not take office until January 2009 If she won the election.

if there is sampling error in individual poll surveys, then there is sampling error in the average of all of these polls with sampling error.

CNN: you need to know your theories of statistics!!!

Obama '08 will win both states anyways…

the only thing more hideous than mccain are the fools who want to ruin my small business and the economy of the country with higher taxes. vote mccain.

This is not only an important election for America, but for all of the world. Given Senator Clinton's remarks to attack Iran, we see what her foreign policy will be like.

People of NC and IN, do the right thing for your country and for all of the world: Vote for Barack Obama!

God bless America and the world.

»»Hillary "FAKE" Clinton is NOT good enough to be President.Go Obama.

CNN you are one of the few news networks I watch religiously. Unfortunately you have fallen into the same trap as all other networks. Originally when Clinton was the presumed candidate you looked for news stories about a fresh upstart with a message of unity: Obama. You were rightly taken in with the charismatic style and rational thought of the man. He represented everything that politicians have been trying to become since time began. Once the upstart pounded down the juggernaut of the Clinton presumed primary win, you couldn't really pour Obama into a sound bite. He talks in a circular style that requires you to have the whole message in order to figure out its meaning. The golden boy of political news coverage soon became quite a liability to the networks as you really couldn't get a good story out of his candidacy. Fortunately there was a new upstart: Clinton.

With her presidency hopes fading she was able to open up a little more to make some grand appeals and really hammer home her message that she is the better candidate. She plays politics by the rules of the sound bite (which can be useful) and allowed the news networks to continue their coverage and keep their high ratings. By always spinning the contest in favor of the underdog coverage can be increased and, quite possibly, the race can be lengthened by swaying popular votes. I hate that news has come to this. All three candidates (yes, gasp, McCain included) are incredible human beings that are each deserving of our vote. The real question is who's policies do you believe will get you the best living situation?

Don't make emotional appeals. None of these candidates are saints, none of them are daemons. Each honestly wants what is best for the country, they just have different viewpoints. Pick who you want. Any of the three will be better than what we have now.

Hillary Clinton is finished……finally!

GOOOOOOOOOOD - BYE!!

OBAMA 08

CNN: "Hillary Clinton appears to have taken a clear lead in the crucial primary state of Indiana…" Clinton leads Obama in the STATE by 4%

CNN: "On the national front, Obama holds a slight edge over Clinton…" Obama leads Clinton NATIONWIDE by 4%

Welcome to the Clinton News Network, CNN!

CNN, this extended primary race must be making wonders for your ratings for you to keep it on life support like this. Shameless.

Mike,
although you should appalled at yourself for your inflammatory and racist slurs with regard to Obama supporters, it is nice to see that HRC's supporters are getting nervous enough that they need to focus on racial issuesand outrageous comments ,far from the issues.
Thanks for helping our cause!
OBAMA '08

From Chris
By the way, I am white Anglo-Saxon Protestant…

Yay. Everyone's a winner! Maybe we can do this until 2009.

The media sucks.

Obama will win both!

Hillary go!

Democrats rally!

Let's win this thing!

"Super Delegates" earn you name and VOTE NOW take Obama over and above the needed numbers.

well, in order for Hillary to catch up to obama, she has to to win by 79% in all remaining contests, we not going see this in Indian or N.C today. Hilary must drop out. enough!

Still nothing about Obamas superdelegat gains yesterday? SHAME ON YOU CNN, YOUR BIAS IS CLEARLY VISIBLE.

»»GO great Obama! DEFEAT that ANNOYING Hillary "FAKE" Clinton!…People in Indiana :- Do NOT waste your precious VOTE! VOTE Obama,of course. NO MORE Clintons in the White House!…ENOUGH of Clintons!!…Go Obama!…

For Mike,

Many African Americans support Hillary in the beginning because she was known. African-Americans have gotten to know Obama and truly see Hillary. She has been trashing the African-American vote since SC. It is going to be hard to get it back.

It is not about white guilt. It is about what is RIGHT for America. Many whites are intimidated because of the gains of African-Americans. Why? It like playing sports everyone wants to hold on to their lead.

Mike,
Thank you for showing the world the Klan is still alive (White Guilt Moron). Can you mix a lil drano with your Kentucky Bourbon?

White Gulf Vet.

If Clinton wins Indiana, two things have to be factored in:

1. the effect of a tax holiday which is NOT going to happen this summer.

2. the number of Rush Republicans are voting for Clinton as they believe she will be the weaker candidate

Clinton before panned open primaries…interesting that she isn't commenting on them now!!

I AM NOT VOTING FOR REV.WRIGHT. He is not a political candidate. REV.WRIGHT does not control anything OBAMA do or say, just as OBAMA does not control what REV.WRIGHT say or do. Just as I am sure you have relative and/or friends who say thing that you may not necessary agree with people. SO it show your lack of common.

I am voting for BARACK OBAMA!!!!! 08′

CAN U SMELL WHAT BARACK is cooking?

VICTORY!!!! OBAMA'08

CNN Is not for Obama.All we hear is who endorsed Clinton not all who
endorsed have even been mentioned.
Vote Obama 08.

I mean look at that headline picture!!!! What bias!!!
"Hillary for president" in the forefront as "Obama" fades into the background. SHE HASN"T WON THE ELECTION CNN!! Stop the bias!
good grief

I really do not like Senator Obama.

Its takes a multi racial guy (White/Black) OBAMA running for the high office to bring out all the racial claws(Not saying its Obama fault). And can you believe it. It was the Former President Of the United States Bill Clinton that suttlely interject race in the contest with the Jesse Jackson comment.

America from what I can see have come a long way. I belive America belive it is time for real change. The one leading the head of this "Change" charged just happens to to be bi-racial man.

I think Obama is what America needs right now. Lets face it..he will unite the country. The whites have the white half, the black have the black have of Obama. But above all Obama will be the "People's President" where racial line will be blurred.

I am patiently awaiting to see "History" made in the U.S. Anything less will be pure dissapointment. Remember there is always a first.

please do not sell your vote for $30 gas tax.

Any Christian voting for Obama should read Revelations. If you're a real Christian you'll understand.

I am counting on Obama to win both states. He is right on track about Clinton's lies about the gas tax. Nothing but a joke - will promise anything to win. I can't believe that people do not watch the news where even Congress will not back her bill and Bush will veto it.

I just can not believe people who are idiots are falling for her lies! Just another republican in running in the Democrat race!

Why do we think Hillary can deliver universal healthcare when they had two years during Bill Clinton's first term with a democratic congress and couldn't do it. Hillary has experience:experience at failure. The only true Clinton legislative agenda success that Hillary was a part of was NAFTA, which she, for the time being, disavows. Hillary as a fighter is a good campaigner but Hillary as a fighter would make a lousy President because you can't get anything done by fighting and leaning on people all of the time. I'd rather have a leader.

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE POLLS THE PEOPLE REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THEIR DECISION IS!

THIS IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO SEE A HUGE SURGE FOR HILLARY!

OBAMA HAS MORE SCANDAL THAT WILL COME OUT!

HILLARY CAN WIN THIS THING IN NOVEMBER!

I TRUST HER! SHE GETS MY VOTE!!!!!!!

Obama should condemn himself and drop out of the race since he is untrustful, lieing all the time and fooling people. He doesn't have any good solutions by himself except copying others' ideas. What a shame for you Obama. How can you American be fooled by such dishonest person? Who are stand behind Obama since the day one? John Kerry who failed to beat Bush, Richardson a betrayer and much more. Do you believe in such guys? Go for Clinton. Obama will have to realize he is a shame for this race.

Indiana & North Carolina residence go out today and vote. Call your Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews…call everyone…go vote! Drive someone there that can’t get there themselves. Remember your ID. Help this country get to a new place in the world and to be so very proud of the person we choose to represent us. We all know in our hearts we only have one honest choice for this person to be. Barack Obama!

If Hillary does not win both IN and NC, then she should drop out of the race, and start grooming Chelsea for the House of Reps mid term elections. The Clinton dynasty cannot just be ended if Hillary doesnt win the nomination. Chelsea is still young and has a long future ahead. By then, Americans would have forgotten about Hillary's lies and panderings.

Tim from Ohio: Will you call the Clinton campaign and ask the same if Hillary fails to win NC and IN? Why would we ask the winner to drop out? Even the NFL World Champions lost a few games along the way to winning the only contest that matters.

Hey Mike…

How bout you stop treating this like a sporting event ("I hope she kicks his butt!!") and start treating it like what it is… the fate of our nation.

Also, your racist rhetoric just discounts any argument you try to make, so please save precious seconds of our lives and stop making ludicrous posts.

As time goes on I see Hillary looking more and more like McCain. We may probably need to update our political equation from McCain=Bush to Hillary=McCain=Bush, as Hillary is proposing the same ideas as McCain, Hillary and her spouse worth hundreds of millions as McCain and his spouse, Hillary wants to obliterate Iran as McCain, Hillary proposed the same gimmick, shell game gas tax plan as McSame. It is well documented that Hillary is backed by the same special interests in Washington as McCain, Hillary even voted for the war in Iraq as McCain.

It is time to end this drama, rally behind Barack Obama, who is the stronger candidate, and get ready to take on McSame and the GOP. We need to break with old Washington politicians and start a new, fresh page in the American history with Barack Obama as the next President of the United States of America.

Need to count Florida and Michigan if not do not let them vote in general
election. Every vote have to count every body have a right to vote because
citizens in Florida and Michigan pay tax same as other State too.

The majority of the media is rep. and they want to run against Hillary because they have more dirt on the Clintons that we don't even know about.

What do they have on Obama. Some statements by his pastor. A tape with the word bitter and cling on it.

Everone really need to give great consideration to your vote.

THIS IS NOT A GAME! THIS IS NOT A GAME! THIS IS NOT A GAME!

Whether you support McCain, Obama or Clinton, you can really see the negativity of the Obama supporters here.

Why is he attracting this type of supporter? CNN is supposed to be the home of the educated liberal.

Based on the blatant anger and hatred here, it appears this "Audacity of Hope" campaign may be bogus.

Yes, Clinton is a negative person, but THAT doesn't cause ME to hate.

Where is the anger coming from with these Obama posters? They can list their (self-righteous) reasons, but I thought this campaign was supposed to be about bringing togther people in a positive way.

Looks like a certain demographic is going to be looking to "get ours" if Obama's elected.

Derek: 2025 is set actually without counting MI and FL.

Go Hillary,
Show to the bias media that you are the one…

O happy day! Hillary you are toast!

POLLS OF POLLS

THE WINNER OF BOTH PRIMARIES H.R. CLINTON OUR FUTURE PRESIDENT… CAN I HAVE AN AMEN!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mike,

This is about Supreme Court JUDGES!! people not white Clinton or black Obama, so if the stronge white women and men of the democratic party refuse (switch) to vote for Obama if he is the nom. Cool then don’t cry when a women’s right to chose is lose, because you cut your nose in spite of your face. Don’t threaten others with political suicide they may not listen.

The "undecideds" always go Hillary's way. So, she will win IN by 12 pts and he'll win NC by 2. This will all be spun as a total victory by HRC. Then, it's on to the backroom deals.

But, I finally realized this morning that since I live in GA, my vote doesn't count, so I don't have to worry about who wins anymore. Thanks Hillary for continuing to point out that only voters in FL, MI, OH, and PA count. I can now avoid the long lines at the poll in Nov.

I am hoping that the supporters of Sen. Hillary are out in full force today. Voting is something you do for yourself !

Watch Primary Colors to truly understand the Clintons- very disturbing! They'll do anything to win! And to actually want us to believe that she is blue collar…how elitist is that?

barack is just what america needs for change - real issues, intelligence, smartness, focus

I thought America was the land of the free? Sen. Hillary is entitle to continue the race until there is a clear winner. I don't care much about her, and her supporters but I think fair is fair.

It' about the delegate count and guess what? Obama has the lead.

Obama '08

All this shows is the inability of the Democratic party to get things done

McCain '08

CNN don't u think we have had enough of all these so called polls? I think the D-Day has come, let the voters decide. Remember the results will be known in less than 24 hours.

please Nc and IN voters do something to close the thing. No news Co would like it, if it is over cause of rating.

Wayne TX,

I don't understand. Are you insulting Hillary's supporters or are you admiring them. Anyway, I see through Obama's skin. I'm not fooled by his attacks on Hillary. I have noticed he hasn't been playing his race card so much lately. That may be why he is slipping. That and Jerimiah Wright kind of played a race card against himself. Obama and Hillary have been measured and weighed. Hillary is the better of the two evils. I hope that Obama will have the wisdom to drop out when he sees that he won't be able to beat McCain. If Obama wins, I'll be one of those crossovers that vote for McCain, the lesser of two evils.

Hillary for America Shes a sexy fighter for a better world

UNLESS OBOMA GETS ROBBED HE WILL WIN.

PLEASE HILLARY SUPPORTERS
SICKNESS IS A BAD THING TO BE
SO STOP TAKING THOSE CLINTON PILLS
AND GET WELL SOON.

OBOMA 08

The republicans are hoping Hilliary gets the nomination. Then they will pull out the big guns and all the dirty laundry the Clinton's have in their closet. Don't be fooled by the news agencies telling you that Hilliary can beat McCain; she won't. The news and issues that will be brought about by the GOP will send Hilliary and company packing back to NY and then she will lose her reelection bid for her senate seat. There is a lot of excess baggage that Hilliary has that Obama doesn't. He may be young but he doesn't have ghosts in his closet that will make him fail. Don't fall for the old political scare tactics that Hilliary uses…that's just it she uses them to get votes.

It amazes me that the black community buys into Obama so much.

Who did not attend the State of the Black Union or Dr. King's memorial services….Obama. He was busy working on his political campaign to worry about such matters.

However Hillary did despite it does her no good politically. But then again when she donates millions to charities like the Nelson Mandella fund it shows where her heart is.

Obama donated, to Wright's church. You know the church that believes in 9 out of 10 commandments. All of them except for taking God's name in vain.

Ok then!!

Chuck Todd of MSNBC says if things hold up they should end up more or less splitting the total delegates down the middle. Of course this puts Obama closer to 2025 and doesent help Hillary close the gap. Its all up the the supers now.

Vote for SOLUTIONS…not HOT AIR!

VOTE FOR CLINTON!!

The clintons keep saying the same thing. Obama can't win in the fall but we can. Doesn't she understand that she has to win THIS race first. You don't get to go to the championship game unless you win in the semi-finals. How can she say she will win in the fall if she can't beat Obama fair and square to begin with. The only way she can become the nominee is if J. Wright has a brother or the superdelegates GIVE it to her. It is too late for her to EARN it.

It's only 14 super deligate gap for Obama but 150 total deligate gap for HRC. Good luck America !!

Vote for SOLUTIONS…not HOT AIR!

VOTE FOR CLINTON!!

Note that the picture accompaning this article more prominently features the Hillary poster. No bias in the Clinton News Network

Neutral: I always see your comments, and they're anythin but neutral. Obama NEVER had a 36+ point lead in NC. Yes, his lead is down, but he is still up double digits. And neither candidate has led in Indiana by any major margin, contrary to your comment. If you want to be neutral, try being unbiased too.

CNN I heard on the news that Obama got 4 new delegates yesterday.
How come you didn't report it. You have lost me as a viewer because you are so biased in your reporting. If Hillary got one it would be front page. Here Obama got 4 and Hillary 0 and you said nothing. I used to think that you were the professional channel. Sorry to say it, MSNBC has out rated you during these elections.

It's very likely that there will be a split decision after tonight's primaries are over…. So what??? Sen Obama will still be ahead in pledged delegates, states won, the popular vote…… Let's get on with focusing on the Republicans.

Sen Obama has and continues to be steadfast, despite having to fight off Sen Clinton, ex-president Clinton, CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS and every other media outlet. He is still standing. Go figure!!!!

Catch Fox with Riley? "Wait, I am rich," Clinton-"Yes, and God bless us" This woman figures she relates to the common person? Get real.

I just recieved a call from a friend in Indiana and he said the polls in the black areas don't have enough ballots and no pens. Why is this not a surprise? When will this unfairness end?

4 points is nothing. Especially since the early voters and mail in ballets are favoring Obama in Indiana. He could win Indiana just as easily as she could. We will have to wait and see.

Clara; you talk about lies from Obama, he would have to spend the next, hint,. hint., (35 years) in political office to catch up to the Clintons. You cannot actually think the Clintons are honest people. Where in the world have you been? Both of them are a few steps away for prison.

citizenwells: Whitewater, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Monica, Ms. Flowers, Mr. Hubble, Sandy Burgular, Rose law firm….etc….35 years and counting….

people are afraid of Bush/Clinton saga, well, then you might have Obama saga, which will be worse - then what you will do?
…and how can you even compare Clinton to Bush? You must be totally ignorant…
Clinton era was good.

Bottomline Voters and Media-

At the end of the day, Obama will have gained more pledged delegates. PERIOD, end of story.

The media is being manipulated by the Clinton machine. It isn't about primaries or big states, or states that begin with the letter C.

Delegates are delagtes. Get some guts and stand up to this woman.

Who cares, the republican Party will win no matter who wins the Democratic nomination. No, I'm not a Republican; I'm just a bitter Democrat who wishes the party would just rally behind one candidate. About these polls. I'm registered in NC as an Independent, so I can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primaries. Do these polls include those who are registered independent? If they don't then these polls are worthless.

Here we go again with the CNN "poll of polls", but do not tell us who the polls represent and for what time periods. As I scan the State Primary polls, i only find Zogby ffor about the last 4 to 5 days. Fox is reporting a poll that has Clinton within 2 to 3 points. I am not a FOX fan, but if you want to hear the truth go to their station. They do not like either candidate, so you get balanced reporting. Viewing CNN has been a real struggle for us Clinton supporters. There best Political team on TV consist of Cafferty, Gloria, Jeff, Campbell and Martin, all Obama cheer leaders. Wolf and Lou Dobbs appear to be neutral. When the situation room comes on, I go to FOX.

There is a lot of disrespect, inability to spell, and an inability to know the difference between allegation and truth or proof among bloggers.
Sadly, such may be true of the general public. Candidates do not only need votes and workers during the primaries, but people who will put their shoulders to the wheel to make this country better once he or she is elected. Sacrifice and hard work are not the mantra of the
"ME first" generation. All the harsh rhetoric in the world is not going to make this country one bit better, nor will inspiration unless followed by action.
Whomever is elected, the same holds true.

Obama is not electable. While the African Americans and children are falling all over themselves to support him, the backbone of the Democratic Party will not support him. While African Americans have as a rule been democratic voters, they have been unreliable voters. The children have never even been on the electoral map. They are all fired up now as they are excited up about being part of a "movement" rather than being concerned about the welfare of the nation. We middle-aged, seniors, middle income moderate voters are the backbone of the Democratic Party. We don’t waste our votes on candidates such as Ralph Nader as do those on the far left (you know, those that handed the election to G.W. Bush in 2000). We reliably show up to the polls and vote a straight ticket as we believe in the values of our party. But at the same time, we do not follow blindly and are not ignorant, as some in the Obama camp would have you believe. We come from many walks of life. Some are some are blue collar and some are highly educated professionals, but most of us have a pretty good grasp of current events and are able to make informed decisions concerning our political choices. The Obama camp would have you believe that we are a bunch of illiterate Neanderthals who are too ignorant to realize that he is the savior of the world. We are far from ignorant. We do however, recognize an arrogant, condescending windbag when we see one (the current resident of the White House would fit into this category.) Obama will have a hard sell to win our votes in November. We refuse to have our party taken over by arrogant children and we will not play racial politics. Obama can either show us something other than the baseless rhetoric that he has shown us thus far or we will be happy to show him the door.

Curious that CNN suggests that there is no sampling error because it is a poll of polls. This figure is calculable, if you know the population of each sample.

If you can't vote for Obamas black side, vote for his White side.
He was raised by his white mother. He is not one or the other.
He represents all of us. We should all be as color blind as Obama and his mom. It is no wonder our country is disrespected by the world at large. Vote for America. Vote Obama.

Fitzgerald:

A little Elitest maybe? Just like your cult leader Obama? I thought Obama said he wasn't an Elitest. Do you really think you are helping his campaign?

Oh, and FYI, I'm a highly educated attorney in Dallas Texas and a huge Clinton supporter. It's not that I don't think Obama is a bad guy, I just think he is too new to be president. He's ahead of himself and will eventually crash. We are in the middle of a war! Do you really want a new guy making the decisions? If you do, I better start looking for a place in Canada cause I will no longer feel safe in the United States.

Hey Kate, It's clear that Obama will win the black vote and the younger kids and Hillary will win everyone else?

Gosh, I'm a 61-year-old white woman, and I and my white coworker, who is 28, just got back from voting for Obama here in Raleigh. And Tim, I believe you think this contest is settled along racial lines? If that were so, doesn't it seem logical that Obama would have only gotten 10 to 15% of the votes overall?

Come on people, stop the categorizations. Some of us are actually voting based on who we think is the best candidate!

OBAMA '08

As an Obama supporter I know North Carolina will be a blowout. Indiana is another story. It will be close and I hope Obama can pull it off. I think this whole Rev Wright story is effecting him negatively and the more he addresses it the worse it gets.

We will not have clear cut nominee until the convention. Hillary can loose every contest after this and she still will not leave. She will argue that "if we count Michigan and Florida.." but thats a wasted thought process.

Also Im really seeing the biasness in CNN. Obama picked up several delegates yesterday why is this not being reported???

mike's comments are extremely offensive and they should never have gotten posted regarding the names of Obama supporters. CNN censors emails well you should remove those, I canny believe youlet something like that get posted, how insulting and ignorant can goofy Mike be? If Obama only had Black supporters he would loose sine the united states has a population of 8o percent White and 20 percent nonwhite. Idiot!

clitin win

Hilliary go home. We don't want you and Bill back in the white house playing tag team.

There sure is a lot anger, bad attitudes and prejudice on these blogs. And you think this helps the candidate you support??

I'm voting based on the issues and the candidates past accomplishments. I'm not voting based on out of control emotion and bitterness.

ggggggg

I wish we had a real hero, like Tony Stark, aka "Iron Man," to lead us, instead of idiots like McCain and hate-mongers like Hillary.

What about Michigan and Florida? Why disenfranchise voters there?

Hillary's gas tax plan is a joke. It's like throwing the voters a few crumbs, but not the whole cake. Just enough to give us a taste of lower gas prices. Just enough to make us feel she is trying to help. It's all a hoax, a joke and a ploy to get more votes, but it sure won't fly with me. What they give us with one hand they will take away with the other; ie, the oil companies will just raise gas prices to cover the loss . So where's the savings?

Obama 08 for sure. He's too smart to fall for such obvious ploys and transparent ravings.

Poll Of Polls means nothing.

CNN did not get it right for PA. How come 10,000 people who have voted before and will vote for OBama say they have not been contacted regarding any poll. Who do the polling go after then? You can't poll a few people here and there and make it official.

Obama will win both and game will be over

I am 99% for Obama. I too was impressed with Rev. Wright and did not like it that Obama came out totally rejected him.

I think he had to do it though - mainly because the media (CNN) just can't seem to let go of it.

I had to laugh at Blitzer the other day. He had a panel of four different people who all said the media needs to let go of this and Blitzer kept right on pushing Wright. Who is nuttier - Hillary or the media?

McCain stated "The troops are in Iraq because of Bush's Oil"…enough said!

Ok everyone. I think this is going to be the end for HRC run at the WH!!!!!! I can only pray that IN gets this Wright(pun intended) and end this thing baby!!!!!

Also, please think of your fellow americans when you decide to vote for Mcbush because you candiate did not make it. I don't care if you shoot yourself in the foot. It aint mine, but you could affect the outcome this year by doing stupid things like this. Look, I dislike the queen very mush, but compared to mccbush, she looks pretty good. Either one is fine in my book and they should be in yours too. SAY NO TO THE GOP THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the love of the party and the country we need to unite under one candidate as soon as possible. Neither candidate will win if we don't support our candidate. People stop the infighting. I know I am just as guilty of it as most of you.

It is time for this to end and us to join together in the fight for the future of this country. We need to take back the control and reestablish ourselves in a positive light in the world. We nned to get rid of the "World Police" role we have been filling since the early 90s.

People stop the madness!

Dems in 08

And why drop out? I mean really, people been saying it for months… I mean you guys do realize what is happening now is the whole point of a democracy to begin with right?!?!!?

Is it because Obama supporters know in the end he will not get the nod?

Ron "but we will burn down the studios in Atlanta"?
Do not think for one minute the establishment is going to allow violent civil disobedience without extreme retribution.

Your statement is irresponsible and reckless. I am an African American Man. The last thing I want to see is heavy armored cars and troops in my community.

Here in Chicago they have been preparing for race riots for the past few years. The police command and tact vehicles are not for nothing. And the placement of concrete "flower" dividers running down the middle of the street are not for decoration. The will be used to control traffic. Think if you put a tank on each end of the street the occupants can't turn around in the middle o f the street.

Destruction of the community or nation is not the answer. We have come too far to go back to 1968.

Obamanation 08

I hate CNN,and Blitzer even more

I hope Indiana voters aren't so dumb, as to fall for her pandering "Gas Tax Holiday". It is a lose-lose more, situation.

Hillary is very quickly running out of real estate. She needed to win by 20-plus in Pennsylvania, but only got half of that. Now she needed to win Indiana by 20-plus and win North Carolina even if by a single vote, but neither is going to happen.

It's over. Hillary may continue to run, but it's over. The remaining supers will fall for Barry on Wednesday and Thursday, and Barry will get to 2024.

HRC Supporters - do you just forget what she stands for day to day?? For NAFTA…then against it….for the Iraq war…then against it - for licensing illegal aliens…then against it….for a healthcare system that supports illegal aliens…then against it….suffered through sniper fire….then realized that never happened….and on and on and on…

Its time people - thats enough - you can no longer make excuses for her and pretend "they all do it" - when in fact its really Hillary Clinton who does it….(btw….where is this "experience" - doesn't show up on the documents released from the Clinton Library….didn't attend one cabinet meeting??)

It cracks me up to hear people say Obama only won because of the black votes. Black people account for about 13% of the total population of this country and I would guess that 1/3 are not even eligible to vote. How could we possibly account for all of Barack's wins? Think about it.

for those of you voting for hillary….how would you feel if she the president and serving some time in jail

CNN when will you keep playing in a loop 24/7 the Paul v. Clinton case that had a hearing on 4/25/08 but you did not whimper? When will your Anderson Cooper dig deeper into the donors to the Clinton Library — it's joint income right? And please tell Campbell Brown to go do what she should be doing — preening before a mirror.

for the clueless Ayers is now a distinguished college professor and when he was a rebel was back in the 60s … Obama was like 8 years old. They do not have a relationship other than serving to fight poverty with some foundation, so no idea why you morons keep bringing it up. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are idiots…. a lot of you appear to be! If you want to argue ancient history…Hillary has a LOT more questionable relationships from her early law practice days… get a clue!

it is not smart to vote on basis of race, or wishful thinking to get "first black president".
He is a man anyway. Most of women are caring, loving more than men.
Men are better in some things, and women are better in other things.
But I do feel strongly that we need a woman to be a president, strong woman as Hillary.
No weak man. No man with racist controversy on his shoulders. This is very very disturbing. He denounced the pastor too late. He should of do it the very first time - 20 years ago. Then I would believe him.

Racism is wrong. Sexism is wrong. But sexism is a burden to all women form all races. Racism is a problem only for the particular race.

Regardless of the polls, and cnn biased reporting, I hope and pray that senator Obama win both the primary and the general election. This country need Obama vision and leadership.

Fellow Citizens in Indiana and North Carolina,

Please get out and vote today and encourage your loved ones and neighbors to do so as well. Participation is the backbone of our democracy! At this point, if anyone can't see through Hillary's smoke screen and slanderous attacks, I don't think they are actively seeking information - just being spoon-fed by the Clinton-loving media. Regardless of who you support, however, please do get out the vote - the great thing about our country is to have the freedom to express our differences and take part in our political system.

My mistake… Florida and MICHIGAN primaries, haha, not Florida and McCain. One of the times I said it I typo'ed

HOOSIERS FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary will win the state of Indiana because she is the BEST CHOICE for President in the 2008 election cycle!

Obama offers "uhhhh, uhhhh, uhhhh"'s and Hillary offers solutions! The more we learn about Obama, the more we find out that whenever his mouth is moving… he is lying!! Obama needs to drop out of the race RIGHT NOW!

But, what would I know? I'm just a "typical white person" who is "bitter" and "clinging to my guns and religion". I have already casted my vote EARLY for Hillary Clinton, so you will NOT be getting my vote Mr. BH Obama. Also, everyone in my family voted EARLY for Hillary Clinton!

HILLARY CLINTON 2008!! The *ONLY* choice for America to get us back on track! The *ONLY* candidate with REAL solutions that will benefit the American people. Not empty rhetoric like Obama offers. Obama the "uniter", LOL!! How is he supposed to "unite" all these people in Washington that he has been bashing for over a year now? (BTW, he is a guy of Washington too!! LOL) NO-Bama!!!

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY! YES SHE WILL!!!

Derek:

Please note: The number of 2025 delegates required to win excludes Michigan and Florida. If they get included, the number required to win would be increased.

Storm the Bastille!!
The Bush-Clinton Dynasty is close to falling!!

Wayne from Texas; you are absolutely right. You nailed it! As an African-Amer., I do not have a problem with a woman, a white or African-Amer., holding this office. I just know those Clintons are power hungry people. They actually think they are the only ones with solutions. I do not like people who will do anything to win, not even in sports. Murder, mayhem, scorcher earth is not beneath these people.

Where is the D.C Madams little book?I dont think she killed herself.All this nomination stuff has been a good cover.

today is the end of the clintons empire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary, you can do it girl!

Obama might be a good guy but he doesn't have what it takes to win in November. Republicans will chew him up in one bite. And Obama followres think that Hillary was nasty??? what a joke, just wait until the other party takes a stab at him.

If you want a democrat in the white house, please vote for Hillary. Otherwise, we'll have 4 more years of misery.

VOTE HILLARY'08 - It's our only hope!

Hillary connects with the less educated lunch bucket crowd and the seniors that are less likely to surf the net for information about the many scandals and corruption allegations towards the CLINTONS.

Obama connects with African Americans, the more affluent, well educated and younger voters who have done their homework and are inspired by his refreshing approach to solving problems and bringing people together.

A vote for Hillary is a vote to extend/expand ill feelings around the world towards Americans and the USA. A vote for Hillary and her ambition to obliterate Iran is a vote to necessitate the return of the draft as it is for Senator McClain.

A vote for Obama is a vote for hope and the return of good will and perceptions towards Americans and the USA from all around the world. BARACK OBAMA GET'S IT.

Carl said:

"A Caucasian running for political office in America has a definite, reliable, biased based advantage, because of the thousand if not millions of racist and bigots in this country. For Obama to make it this far is truly remarkable. It is not that she and her husband are such good or great politicians, they are just white! Without trouble, good or bad they are going to get 10-15 percent of any vote (just for being white). The press never talks about this issue and they know it to be true."

Yes, this is totally true.

When Aigust 30th comes around & there's been NO tax "holiday", the Clinton voters will wonder what happened ! She sure fooled some of the people all of the time yet again!

The Right wants Hillary as the nominee because she says stupid things out of her mouth when pushed to wall which the Republicans will do once she is the nominee which ensures John McCain a win in November. Barack would be a more formidable opponent which they know, but voters who vote for Hillary do not. They know with Barack as the nominee, they don't stand a chance. With Hillary, they definitely will win. So go ahead Hillary voters and essentially ensure that John McCain gets the White House. The Republicans are really crafty devils….literally.

I guarantee if you took all the bar-b-que's out of the early caucus states, Obama would have had no chance in hell of winning. His "bruthas" will not go out and support him in November if he is elected.

Why not conduct a poll of the Super Tuesday states and see how they would vote today, especially after the Reverend Wright issue and the economy. Would they still vote for Senator Obama, or would they now vote for Senator Clinton. I think it would be interesting to see if Senator Obama has lost his appeal with those states.

I live in a small town in southern indiana and i have been pleasnatly surprised at the amount of support that Obama has. I believe the race can go either way. The big unknown will be the Republican crossover vote. Most of the Republicans I have talked with are voting for Obama, but there are a few out there planning to vote for hillary as they think she will be an easier candidate for mccain to defeat. So, keep hope alive!

People aren't voting along racial lines as much as you think. If you look at the way people are voting. Clinton is getting a wide majority of the white vote of people over 65, they are about even with white voters from 40-64 with Clinton ahead in that demographic, and Obama is getting a wide majority of the white vote under 40. He is connecting with the younger Americans who can look past race and look at the character of the person. This older generation was around when the civil rights movement was happening and racism was evident everyday and aren't ready for a Black President. This new generation is looking at the character of the people running and choosing Obama. I am a 27-year old white male who is overwhelmingly for Obama.

Hillary reminds me of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. She's (figuratively) had both arms and both legs cut off, now she's lying on the ground taunting Sir Robin, spitting and telling him how she's the stronger candidate.

Wake me up when she's told by God himself to quit.

CNN, how about you report how the voting machines are all down in the black community in North Carolina. SOMEBODY needs to do something about this..

For Penny , NH

What color is the sky in your world?

I mean seriously,
Obama did not create this monster of negativity. He has been decent, too decent throughout this whole campaign. And I truly believe that people are afraid of his skin, his name and that's why he supposedly can't "seal the deal". America is still too wrapped up in race. IT"S TRUE, don't try to deny it!

Go Hillary!!!

Clinton should be the candidate… Obama can't win the big states.. and if Florida is counted (in which neither candidate campaigned, and both were on ballot, unlike Michigan) then Clinton would be MUCH MUCH closer.

Also, Obama can't beat McCain, Hillary can.

Why doesn't the government do the right thing and redo the Florida and McCain primary… the last of the other Primaries is beginning of June correct? That leaves almost 3 months before the convention… Schedule new Florida & Michigan primaries some time in July, gives candidates plenty of time to campaign there.

Then we will see who really is AMERICA's candidate, because last I checked, America isn't 48 states.

C'Mon Indiana, Today is the day we can put Sen. Clinton out of her misery. Look inside yourself and ask "Am I ready for real change, or 8 more years of the same old same old?" The whole country is counting on US to put the Clinton nonsense to an end, so let's show em' Hoosiers are smarter than Buckeye's and Pennsyltuckyians.

Obama '08 Yes We Can!

Hillary already knows she has lost, so why is she still running. It's actually pretty simple, and very under handed much like the entire Clinton family. Hillary knows she has lost, and she also knows that if Obama wins, she can't run again for 8 years when she is 68 and probably on her death bed. If she sabotages Obama, and helps McCain win, she can run again in 2012. Pretty brilliant of her isn't it? Keep the people that have continously taught our children that the rich can commit perjury and lie in court and get away with it.

Why can't Clinton close the deal? She is supposedly the more experienced candidate and has the Clinton name to boot!

Also Obama is closing the gap on superdelegates with 2 more endorsements from MD superdelegates this morning. He is now at 252 with Clinton at 266.

Hopefully, she will bow out gracefully after today, so the party can become unified before November.

OBAMA '08!!!

Why keep this race too long? Indiana and North Carolina people should decide it wisely by voting BO; or else, they will have helped destroying the Democratic Party and the whole country we all over the world cherish.
People of NC and Indiana, allow Martin Luther King's dream come true. Go Obama 08

We are at war in Iraq which is a neighbour to Iran and our expected President in waiting talk about attacking Iran how brillient is the idea and if your child is not at war you will never know how bad the war is. All those who say that was okey for HRC to say then you do careless about the man in a uniform fighting out there. That comment is likely to polarize the situation in Iraq and the GOP know that that was a blunder by HRC. but now they are taking on BO because most Dems candidates for Congress and Sen. that uses his name prevail. So, chose well people think. The $30 a month that is cheap to think that you are saving us so bucks.

Since it is a poll of polls there is no sampling error. Shame on you. Of course there is sampling error along with measurement error due to duplication. Probably the best estimate of the the sampling error is the largest individual error.

NO BIGOTS FOR PRESIDENT!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!

Not only are they going to split the states, but they will also split the delegates. This will continue to the end, so people need to stop asking Hillary to drop out.

Clara,

Do you believe the lies Hillary has "mispoken"?

CNN, you have become unbelievable. I have especially noticed this in the past few weeks.

Now, please tell me why you don't think reporting that the Chocktaw Nation's superdelegate announcing her support for Obama is newsworthy?

Why do you report other superdelegate support for candidates and ignore this one?

And…these people are right about the polls. Check out Real Clear Politics and the Survey USA stats….how incredibly out of line they are with other pollsters…in Hillary's favour of course. More lying from the HillBill camp?

Now, you seem to be "in on it". And I once thought you were better than Fox News. No more.

CNN seems to be pro Hillary — Can't you give equal photo exposure to Obama? Really, try to be a bit more subtle.

Yes , We can.

Obama, 08

Obama will win in NC and HRC in Indiana and superdelegates aka superidiots will wrench a little more and drag this circus till June. Hopefully, by June MacCain should have gotten his act together while the democrats should have gotten themselves, thanks to their super-idiots unelectable no matter who their nominee.

This is an exciting time for us "Hoosiers". Never before has our primary meant so much to the presidential candidates. I enjoyed voting this morning because I felt that my vote really did count. I ended up voting for Obama, although it was a difficult choice. All I know is that never again can this country afford to have the likes of GW in the presidential office. Let's send him off to his farm in Texas never to be heard from again.

Come on Indiana and NC…Vote smart, vote for the honest candidate…not the pandering negative one!!! Let's put this away today!!!

GOBAMA!!!!!

I will be glad when this is over in North Carolina. We voted early and most people I talked to white, hispanic, black, etc put in their vote for Obama. I wish people would stop talking about these so called polls and demographics. There is NO way either one can be compeletely accurate!

Think with your brains people!

CNn please post,

The final Zogby tracking polls for today's primaries show Barack Obama expanding his lead in North Carolina, and quite possibly building up steam in Indiana, too. The numbers, compared to yesterday:

North Carolina
Obama 51% (+3)
Clinton 37% (-3)
Sample size: 643 likely primary voters, weighted for region, age, race and gender.
Margin of error: ±3.9%

Indiana
Obama 45% (+1)
Clinton 43% (+1)

Sample size: 644 likely primary votes, weighted for region, age, race and gender.
Margin of error: ±3.9%

Today will be the deciding day for the Clinton's. Hillary will loose in both states and should gracefully bow out of the race. Her largest problem has been Bill from the beginning of the race.

Consider: Hillary divorced Bill after his impeachment. Would she be a more viable candidate today? Would she have the nomination already in the bag?

Lets get real - Hillary cannot beat McCain because of Bill so common sense says get out of the race now to allow the Dem party to heal.

Mike is lame. period. his comments indicates as such. Its clear what is driving YOU in this race.race. period. not all the Jerome's, Lakeisha's, and Jamal's are voting for Barak.. thats steriotyping which is just as bad as bigotry. This comment was just as bad as someone's comment about Barak's "nappy-headed wife" yesterday. Maybe white-guilt is alive.. but thats because of people like you who make them feel guilty. WHITE PEOPLE>>>>THERE IS NOTHING TO FEEL GUITLY ABOUT>>> because i know that comments like this "gentleman" do not reflect the majority of you. To think that would be steriotypical of me!

can't believe some of the nonsense that people post on blogs.

The fact is that as Americans wallow in their foolish racial prejudices and fears, the Chinese and Arabs own this country and will dominate our economy in just a short few years. We owe China 1.4 trillion dollars and counting (1 billion per day in interest), 80% of which is in treasury notes. Arab interests have invested 600 billion dollars in our economy. And by the way, we owe Mexico a truck load of money as well.
Read!!! Do your research. There is a reason why educated people support Obama and dummies cling to Hillary.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTLY RIGHT

I can't wait for Hillary and Obama to kiss and make up at the end of this process. How are all their ardent supporters going to feel then?

HILLARY, YOU ARE AN AWESOME INSPIRATION! MADAME PRESIDENT, WE SALUTE YOU!

CNN won't post this but I thought that I'd point it out anyone. You notice how there are about 5 post in favor of Obama to 1 in favor of Clinton. Yet, in reality, half the democratic population support her. Seems to me like CNN is kicking out all the post in favor of Clinton and making this post seem a little one sided.

Stop spinning your whe
