To answer your question:

No.

I love the media. They would love nothing more than for this thing to keep going and going. I remember a few months back when Clinton has some momentum and everyone was saying that CNN was all pro-Obama. Then when Obama has momentum they all say CNN is the Clinton News Network. I think this is true to some extent. The media wants this to go on. They want it to stay close. It is in their own self-interest to help to candidate who is currently hurting so as to make sure that they stay in it.

Now that Clinton has been dealt a significant blow, time to turn on the Clinton News Network again.

I wonder how many superdelegates actually think that Obama could beat McCain when his voter support is apparently only urban, black, young and southern?

Once again we are going to miss the opportunity to have a great President. Obama is stealing the nomination from Hillary Clinton. Democrats are making a big mistake. Hillary will make a better President than Obama. Hillary stands a better chance to beat McCain in the general election. We need Hillary to lead our country—give her a chance and you will never regret it.

OBAMA FLORIDA IS FOR YOU

OBAMA 08

THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL…IT'S TIME FOR HILLARY TO BOW OUT WITH SOME DIGNITY…..SHE CAN NOT WIN…AND CNN YOU ARE VERY BIASED IN REPORTING THIS PRIMARY…SHAME ON YOU….

I am dying to see how many super delegates will come and endorse Obama.

To close Clinton's shop, I wish Al Gore or Nancy Pelosi come out and endorse Obama.

Clintons should be ashamed. Inspite of Bill being president for 8 years and Hillary in the senate and lot of supporters they are getting whipped.

I am ready for this to be over so that Senator Obama can start to concentrate on Senator McCain.

Hillary, pull all your support and supporters behind the front runner so that the healing can begin and we take back the White House.

Okay come on. I guess last night showed what clout the polls have. Just before the results came in, Clinton was leading in the polls by 6% and barely won by 2%, Obama was leading in NC by 8% but lost by 14%, Obama also increased his popular vote by 211K. Please HRC being tough is fine but please do what's best for the party.

Okay, play time is over. Obama is the presumptive nominee. Can Bill & Hillary Clinton please step down and recognize this, so that we can join together in defeating McCain!

Obama has been vetted and all Hillary could do is a less than 2% win in Indiana.

Vote Obama!

No. It's like trying to make up a five shot deficit in golf with only one hole to play.

Clinton can not rebound. She had her last chance last night and she failed. Ofcourse we will see her spinning on her "game changer".

Yes, She can……

Heck No! Game over! CNN what the heck?? Obama just layed the smack down and already like the loser here, you're talking about the next campaign state?? Please, let's talk about this blow out win and even tie, how about that?!

IT'S BEEN SLIPPING AWAY FROM HER. SHE NEEDS TO DROP OUT ALREADY SHE IS KILLING OUR DEM.PARTY. AND SHE IS REALLY GOING TO BE LOOKING SAD IN THE LONG RUN, BECAUSE WHEN HE BECOMES THE NOMINEE, SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BACK HIM UP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHE WILL LOKK CRAZY BECAUSE SHE HAS TALKED SO MUCH TRASH ABOUT HIM ITS "UNREAL!!"

Yes, You can! IF NOT NOW WHEN? You have really found your voice.
OBAMA"2008″

No, she cannot rebound……… not without the super delegates and that's not likely to happen. I think they will start coming out today and put Clinton out of her misery.

I hope Obama and his fans took note of the exit polls. He will not win w/o Hillarys supporters and if the Obama cult is not nicer, its going to be harder to win us over. Obama fans can be so hateful and its people like you why I and many others would never vote for Obama.

Great speech last night, he's back on track, despite the constant attacks of the Clinton Machine. Go OBAMA!!!!

Hillary Clinton would beat McCain. Obama could not. I read you are pro Hillary and I disagree. She won Indiana…why not her photo?

It is a fact the Bush did not win the popular vote, the contest so close that it was a superdelegate event.

I wish I could see some fair play in your report today. This is a case of media -in essence advertising for Obama- in a weak disguise for a strong Republican bias….You are more transparent than you think…

She really needs to leave now but she won't because her plan is to have Mccain win and than she can come back in 2012.

Correction I meant Obama won NC by 14%…

Hmmn. Where are all the haters today? L.O.L.

In one word. No

Obama 08

No she can not and she already knows this. She is hoping to win by default (some unforseen event, heaven forbid) or by cheating on the DNC floor with her loyal followers.

NO WAY…NOT THIS TIME…AND YES WE ARE WATCHING CLOSELY.

Thanks to IN & NC.

Helen
Charlotte, NC

No.

Ahhh peace and quiet from the Clintons today. Hiliary canceled all her public events today so that should tell you something. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hiliary bail out after West Virginia and Kentucky.

It's time to start healing the party. Obama's speech last night was a good start. When he congratulated Hillary on her win in Indiana he gave her the respect she deserves and then went on to talk about our mission to defeat our opponent, John McCain, in in November. When Clinton spoke, she talked about her "opponent" being Barack Obama. She's forgotten who she's fighting against. Someone please remind her.

Hillary is a lunatic! How can people not see this? Someone needs to put a pumpkin in her huge mouth so she'll quit spewing cr*p!

Supers - send this woman home NOW! Announce your support for Barack and put an end to Hillary's madness!

OBAMA 08!

Hillary is Delusional and has been for a while now. She is really banking on the superdelegates to overturn the popular votes and the delegates. If you were the front runner and new there was no way for Barack to get the majority of the delegates, you would want him to drop out. I'm so glad that it's not that way and he is the front runner

At this point it appears clear that Hillary is simply staying in the race to try to get back some of the money she has lost in "loans" to her campaign. After her last ditch gutter politics and pandering have not worked she just has to hang in long enough

The question is can Obama beat McCain? The answer is NO!

Her time slipped away after Wisconsin. She's only been kept alive by the media who want to keep their ratings high.

Nope, she's done.

DEMOCRATES — STOP THIS NOW !!!!!
The only reason Hillary made Indiana close was the Rublican "Chaos" factors it's clear, yet no one wants to publically admit this….. it makes a mockery of the system and shows Rublicans are in control of the Democratic race. Wake Up make a decision NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but NO …. it's physically, virtually & logically impossible for her to rebound .. yes i agree she has West Virginia, Kentucky & Puerto Rico in the bag . .but that wouldn't be enough ……… she will still be behind …

time for the democratic party to rally behind the democratic presumptive nominee …. and stop the bitterness/resentful & hate towards .. Obama ..

we need a democratic in the white house ….

Obama should make Clinton his VP .. though i doubt she'll accept …. she'll feel cheated … IMO she acts like she is entitled the presidency …

best recommendation i can give Obama … choose Al Gore/Edwards/Ron Paul/Richardson or a female VP if Clinton refuse VP spot …

this is the only way to heal the party …..

Go on and pretend that MI and FL don't exist.

I think it would be in her best interest to go and sit down. Her evil tactics are turning against her. Rather a person want Obama or not, the realization is, there has to be a coming together; to stop all this in-fighting, mudslinging. There has to be a change. We say we are adults. Nothing can be accomplished until there is a coming together on both parties, be it democrat, republican, independents.

The very people she used to turn against someone else, may one day come back to haunt her. Move this country forward, not backwards. Stop all this underhanded nonsense, chaos. As for Rush Limbaugh and those voting for her (knowing they don't want her), your little game can have big consequences…as they say, be careful of what you wish for; it isn't always what you thought you wanted.

Well lets just dig up some more dirt on him and see if you can wipe him out. That's all the Hillary campaign has been doing for months. See what happens. Everybody's (politicians, media, Obama haters) keep trying to destroy him, but who's winning. God hates ugly.

as a Hillary supporter I believe the rimary will be lost to Obama. Having said that I will do everything possible to ensure a win for John McCain.

I started out as a Clinton supporter but over the course of what has been a very negative campaign, in which it appears that she will do anything to win, I have switched my vote to Obama. I'm in the military and I'm here to tell you that you would remember being shot at so for her to lie really shows me her true character.

Additionally, Obama has won more states and more popular votes. Is the DNC and the Super Delegagtes really going to rob him of this win like Bush did Gore? If they do, I can tell you many people will see the same good old boy system doing what it has always done. In this case, I will not vote for Clinton but will Mccain or not vote at all.

She should consider the good of the party and the country and just bow out while anybody still has any respect for her.

Obama is Chicago style politics.
He tried to steal Indiana yesterday. He won caucuses by bulling people and taking advantage of working people.
No Obama is not going to be Democratic nominee.

"It's full-speed on to the White House." More looting? Or is she praying for that VP spot?

Hillary can rebound. She is fighter. I hope she stays. She is the one to beat McCain.

No.

this 39 year old white republican is voting for OBAMA…thankyou….and good day…

CAN PIGS FLY.

I really don't understand Hillary, if this was the other way around and she was in the lead. She would be crying that Barack drop out of the race because he is killing the party. But no she is only thinking about what she wants, not what's best for the party its really sad.

As a Hillary Clinton supporter, with an advanced degree I might add, if Obama gets the nomination and does not make a concerted effort to offer the V.P. slot to Clinton, I seriously do not think that I can vote for him in November - especially if he offers that slot to a white male.

Hillary is tearing the democratic party apart because she thinks she is the better candidate. When is she going to admit that she can't win? When is she going to say that enough is enough and its time to come together as a party to move on? What is she fighting for now? the vice presidency?? that appears to be the only reason she is staying in the race so that she can have SOME form of power in this government by saying that if you don't choose me to be your vice president, we are going to have a split party all the way to the convention.

This is NOT what this party needed this year. To think that we all thought this would be a easy democratic this year.

As a HRC supporter, no one expected last night to be the definign moment when Hillary would surge ahead. SHe has stated and continues to state that MI and FL along with the Super Delegates are the key to her winning. Obama will not have the 2025 delegates from the remaing contests alon and it will take at least 1 more month for the race to conclude. Go Hillary!

CNN: the answer to your question is a foregone conclusion but you already know this as it has been apparent for many weeks now. Why the media continues to protract this race (ratings = revenue) is shameful as well as beyond the greater good of the country.

She will be out after W. Virginia/ Kentucky/ Oregon, when she can make a graceful exit.

Wow….where are the stories on OBAMA's big night?

FANTASTIC GO OBAMA 08 !

YOU WILL BEAT SENIOR CITIZEN JOHN MCAIN

Hillary is now playing the game for the Vice President slot .

Keep up obma we are all watching God will help- you i hope you will the nove final day to the prsident of the world

Gordon Lam
Kitchener ONTA

No.

I am curious, CNN election center has graphs of various senarious of number of popular votes including counting Florida as Obama's name was on the ballot and still have Obama leading. I would like to see a graph also counting Michigan giving Obama the 40% of undecided votes. Also, how many delegates would each of them receive if Florida is counted as is and how many delegates for each of them from Michigan if Hillary keeps her 55% and Obama is given the 40% from the undecided.
I hope someone from CNN reads this email and do the math for us to see what the result would look like today.

To win when the Clinton three, the press and Wright were making it easy for Clinton, Obama still prevailed. He kept saying he didn't pay much to polls and apparently he doesn't pay a lot of attention to the press either.

As an Obama supporter, I got to say congrats to Sen. Obama for his decisive victory last night in NC. Likewise to Sen. Clinton for her narrow win in IN. With Sen. Clinton deploying the brunt of her political machine to create a "game changer" in NC, she's got to be feeling some disappointment this morning. I won't act like some of my fellow Obama supporters and call for her to concede now as that's not my place. I will say that she really needs to look within at this point and decide whether or not it's time to set pride aside and start healing the party, or does she fight on. It's a tough call but there comes a point in which going on looks to be merely an act of desperation, and you can actually start damaging future political prospects. Like US Forces in Iraq, there can be an honorable withdrawal without surrendering.

Keep up the good work, and great job on the election coverage last night.

Does anyone really believe Obama is the most qualified candidate? Superdelegates must realize based on the exit polls that the majority of his votes are resultant is based on race, not his stand on policies. This is NOT the way to elect a President that will have to make very hard decisions regarding the state of this nation!! The fact that Clinton has so many retired military Generals and Admirals endorsing her should tell the nation and the Super delegates who is best qualified to lead this nation!!! Wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!

NO, NO, NO!!!! Hillary needs to drop out. She's not getting the clue!

The people are speaking loud and clear. Let us move away from the divisions and come together as one, United States of America.

Instead of fighting and hating, let us unite. Let us show ourselves and the world that we can go past the negativity, and work together to be better.

OBAMA 08 - YES WE CAN (All of us)

i say this with all due respect to HRC: nanana-na, nanana-na, heeey heeey heeey, Gooodbyeee.

He won a majority of the black vote in North Carolina. Big surprise there. The African Americans do not make up enough of the majority to get him elected in November. This makes McCain very happy in singing his "4more years" song. He will not win Ohio or Florida in November. Why? Because democrats here will not turn out to vote for him or we will throw our vote to someone else like McCain. Sorry folks…if you want a democrat back in the white house…you should not have voted for Obama. Watch how his story will change with Wright after the primaries are over.

Why heck yes she can. His win was virtually a tie. It means nothing, but watch for all the hound dogs yelping for her to drop out. She is ahead with counting MI & FL votes and delegates that she won fair and square. THE DNC better come up with a solution that compares with the votes that were cast in those two states nothing else will count or do. FL took the election with their Republican then Bush's brother at the controls away from Gore it will not happen again with the DNC taking the election away from Hillary. If you do not coun them THEN DON'T COUNT HILLARYY's SUPPORTERS TO FOLLOW THE WAGON LIKE LITTLE FAITHFUL DOGS, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE DEMOCRAT THAT WILL BE A DEMOCRAT NO MORE. HILLARY 08

A pundit this morning noted that everyone underestimated Clinton's tenacity, and the political roadkill she left behind. This win should shake the superdelegates out of their hiding places, and let them feel free to declare their support for Obama.

the game it not over but when its a blowout you take your star out because they might get hurt

She can rebound only in the "WORLD ACCORDING TO HILLARY". Rush could help too, Republican's dream is to go up against her.,

Now lets see some analysis CNN. I hear Obama won one third of the white vote in Indiana and 90+ percentage of the blacks. And 90+ percentage of blacks in N. Carolina. Why can't Hillary win blacks and are whites leaving her?

EXCUSE ME!

SOME of us haven't voted yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pundits will make it sound like she can, but the numbers say she cannot. It is nearly impossilbe for Hillary to win by the numbers by following the official rules. If you decide to follow the rules that the Clinton campaign keeps trying to change every time they are backed into a corner, then it is possilbe she has a chance. But according to the official rules set forth at the beginning she is like a flat tire on it's last bit of air and almost dead.

She has been overstaying her chances. Rigth after Feb. 12, mathematicaly, she had no chance, but she still wanted to fight it because she is a FIGTHER, she loves to fight. No because there was a liable option. She was waiting for something dramaticaly to happened to Barack Obama, so that she can profit from it. Althoug it happened, but she did not benefited from it.

HILLARY IS HISTORY. BYE BYE HILLARY, SYONARA, HASTA LA VISTA!!!!

To answer your question, Nahhhhh! We need to start the healing process now.

Absolutely not. Go home Hillary. Pack up Bill and Chelsea and go back to New York. Hillary is so delusional, she still think she can bamboosal America, and superdelegates. Her underhanded politics and tactics did not work, and will not work going forward. She actually thinks that she can rip the nomination from Obama's hands when he won this thing fair and square? Not going to happen.

Watch the Clinton machine go after the rule breaking phoney votes in FL and MI now!
The DNC should split the delegates evenly in FL and MI and put Clinton even further behind. That would shut her up about it anyway!
Unless she wanted her votes to count twice because of the delay!

No she cannot that is why she is fighting so hard to seat the Michigan and Florida delegates; to make this fair for both candidates the delegates should be split evenly 50/50 or both states MUST have a re-vote and bith candidates should be allowed to campaign there. CNN here is something that you can bird dog… expose the contents of the paper written by HC while she was in college, the one where she is against civil rights, a republican and extremely resentful of what Dr. King accomplished… NOW THERE I A STORY WORTH WHILE…

POST THIS PLEASE

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

I know who I am going to vote for and its not Obama

Clinton will not be able to rebound. She has been out of this race but has decided to "tough it out". Last night was quite telling, the superdelegate flood to Obama should begin any day now…

DEMOCRATS UNITED FOR OBAMA 08

What Berat said. No.

She needs, at this point, 90% of the remaining superdelegates to win, given polling data. Even with the most wildly optimistic spins on polling, she'd still need about 80%…

… for someone who has been losing the superdelegate race by almost a 2 to 1 margin, given that this is not likely to spontaneously reverse itself in the light of new Obama victories, she needs to DROP … OUT … NOW.

She has dragged this on months longer than it should have been, and for what?

Her protracted, dirty campaign has stained whatever honor and integrity she had, and her husband's part in it has stained his legacy. Her approach has done the Republicans' work for them, and to that end, since Obama had the kitchen sink lobbed at him and survived, that's good… the Republicans can't possibly do any worse than Clinton, especially since she was fighting in the Republican style.

I really don't see what the point of Obama winning the Democratic nomination only to lose against McCain. I guess some people want to vote for the biggest loser in the end I guess.

Hillary 08!

Seems unlikely to me. I can't speak for the other states yet to vote, but Oregon will go to Obama.

We vote exclusively by mail, our ballots are out, and mine has already been marked and returned. It won't be counted for two weeks, but at least I feel that I've finally had my say in this election.

Democrats unite in November!

This thing is over Won't Hillary and the Media Admit it Also Cnn I applaud you and John King for your Non Bias opions and John King you are very good on that Computer. But Hillary CLinton is done she is about to ruin her chance ever being a voice in the Democratic pary

She is well over done. She need to bow out, and begin the processs of healing the party. If she truly loves this country, she will put aside her own ambition and do what is right for the country. Hopefully she will have the wisdom to do this, if not, then the superdelegates need to have a "Sunday come to Jesus" meeting with her.

No, she can't rebound.

Republicans who crossed over are probably the people who gave her the paper-thin win in Indiana.

We witnessed her second post-primary speech in which she asked for money. Now she's down to asking for $5 - somewhat like panhandling. Not dignified at all.

Barack Obama is our nominee. I could not be happier!

Just in: She loaned herself $6.4M last month!! And this is the person people are willing to trust with our economy??????

Yay! We have been saved from near disaster.

Just business as usual. Whites vote for Hillary and that is racist. Howerver, over 9 out of 10 blacks vote for Obama and its just a demographic of the electorate exercising their right to choose?

Any way you cut it, its voting based on race. That is wrong.

Are you even serious?

No.

there is no longer any purpose for the Clintons to continue

Everybody will back Obama, no one want an other Bush term wit McCain.

NO

Unfortunately for the Clinton campaign, there is little she can do, without a backroom deal, to even come close to the nomination. She needed to win big in both states last night to stop Obama's momentum. Obviously, she didn't. A 1% win is, by definition, a win, but it doesn't show a clear and compelling case for her to continue. Losing North Carolina by 14 points, no matter what the demographic that caused the loss, is a huge loss. Obama is ahead in states, in popular vote, and in delegates. He can't be caught….Hillary needs to end her campaign and help the Obama campaign strategize for the upcoming battle with the Republicans.

The Writing is Finally on the Wall! I feel that for the Democratic Party to Move forward and Win the White House that a Healing must take place and it began last night with the speech from Senator Clinton. She has given herself 2 self loans during her campaign and she is not raising the necessary monies that will be required for her to stay in the race.

America needs Change and Senator Obama is has the youthful energy and ideas to bring this country together! I am so excited for him and for our Great Nation!

Get out now Obama…you will never win the General Election.

Millions of life long Democrats will vote for McCain…maybe we will be known as the McCain Democrats!!!

Go Hillary!!

Sadly,Clinton will have the last laugh since Obama will not win the general election in Nov. His constituency (the self-proclaimed intellectuals) have harangued those who disagree with them and truly have alienated them with their insults and slurs. No wonder 52% of Clinton supporters will not vote Obama. It's ironic that they support Obama for his inclusiveness, but they are responsible for causing irreparable harm to the party itself. Paul Begala is right- you can't win the GE with only Eggheads and African Americans.

NO, i cant imagine a scenario in which the outcome can change.

She fault a good fight, kind of under handed, and negative but she still fault. She needs to stop waisting time and money and concede.

The Clintons were quick to jump on Michelle Obama's comment about "finally" being proud to be an American. Last night, in her "victory speach", Hillary stated that we needed to start acting like Americans again.

In her opinion, just when did the 150 million + U. S. citizens stop acting like Americans? Does she mean that if we did not act in accordance to her standards, we are un-American?

Come on Hillary, your turn to do some explaining.

Tom hit it right on the head

If Obama is the nominee, the face of the Deocratic Party will change forever. Regan Democrates will become Republicians, and the Democratic Party will become extreme liberals and radicals!!! I don't think that is what the founding Fathers of this Nation had in mind.

This is increasingly looking like Mike Huckabee overstaying his welcome in the republican nomination race. There comes a time when one has to realize that he or she has given it their all and put the interest of the party/the American people ahead. What Hillary Clinton is doing can be interpreted either as a stuborn attempt to prove Democratic Voters wrong or a misguided sense of entitlement to win the nomination just because she is a Clinton or both. Or perpahs she is in the logic of either I get the nomination or we both lose the chance to becoming the next president. Either way, this has been clearly about the Clintons. It is not about the Democratic Party, let alone the American people. I guarentee you that if the tides were reversed Obama would have been forced out a long time ago. So, Hillary, if you love the Democratic Party and America (as you have said at numerous occasions), get out of the race, please!

It never ceases to amaze me how stories come out and gather steam because of one reason or another.

Case in point: Obama has been dragged through the mud because of what his ex pastor, Rev. Wright said, correct? This story has gathered such a full head of steam that it has actually been the deciding factor in some voters according to exit polls.

Why hasn't the fact that Hillary's ex pastor, Rev. William Procanick who has been CONVICTED OF CHILD MOLESTATION been brought to the forefront? Not only was he CONVICTED of first degree sexual abuse, for inappropriately touching a seven year old girl, he lied about it on the stand!

Hmm, I wonder why that wasn't plastered all over the front pages of main stream America, talked about on talk radio, and blasted all over the blogs like the 8 billion stories about Rev. Wright ?

I'll let you all decide that one!

Sure Obama will win the nomination but he is not going to be the next President of the United States. Clinton was my number 1 choice with John McCain being the next best choice. You folks wanted him, now you figure out how to bring out the vote he is going to need to win in the Presidential election.

John McCain, unless a miracle occurs for Senator Clinton, here I come with a great majority of Clinton supporters. Barack Obama is not tried, proven or ready and I'll not vote for him just because he impresses others who don't have their eyes wide open.

just, shut up n put your white hoody on, you're ignorant–the majority is why he's winning a hole

Thanks NC. You just handed the Republicans victory in Nov. How come there has been no reporting of the Obama/Teamsters deal? Was a deal cut to lift the oversight of the union by the Obama camp? Hillary can rebound if the super delegates do their job and elect the person who can best beat McCain. Obama is getting 90+% of the black vote. That will not be enough to win in Nov. The only "change" Obama can really promise is a change from Bush to McCain. But heh, go ahead and drink the Kool Aid. Anybody remember what happened the last time we voted for an out of touch super Liberal? What the Republicans will do to Obama will make what they did to Kerry seem like a love in…Oh I forgot that is what Obama is going to give us…"let's all just get along while I change the world." What a load.

NO!

Clinton supporters, you must see reason, there is no chance for Hillary to win, you must call on her to drop out of the race and you all must support Barack Obama, whether you like him or not, he will be so much better than 4 more years of a Republican. Please!!!! If you love this country you will do the right thing and stop prolonging this stupid fight, and support our nominee, who will undeniably be Barack Obama!!

Obama Richardson 2008

Nonsense. Stop writing Hillary's obituary. Once the dead votes in Florida and Michigan are brought back to life, you will witness a dramatic resurrection of her campaign. She's not soldiering on. She is soaring on.

According to John King…neither candidate can cross the finish line without the help of Super Delegates ….why does the media keep saying the ONLY Hillary can't cross that line when it is BOTH.

Counting Florida and Michigan would also aid in the crossing of that finish line

The magic number is 2024 and BOTH should stay where they are until one of them has EARNED the win…fair and square.

CNN please be fair to both candidates and the voting public by reporting the truth only please

The battle is over and now the war begins!! Go Obama!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look like she will.
.
BUT! I would beg the Obama supporters to not rub salt in the wound.
Step aside, and give HRC some space to make the decision on her own to drop out.

I read a lot of comments from Obama supporters who praise Obama for his integrity and ability to unify, and yet many of those same supporters speak with little integrity and their comments serve to divide, not unify.

Please , let's strive to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Obama 08

All the way to the convention Hillary!!!

Things go the way they should.If I someway believe in God, I'd say this is theevidence of His working.

It is pretty much over based on what the rules are in the Democratic Party. However, this is why we keep losing election after election for the Presidency. Bill Clinton won because he was a fighter. He won re-election because he was a fighter. Obama is not a fighter. He is too much like Jimmy Carter. There was a reason Carter lost re-election. Exit poll after exit poll keeps getting ignored. State after State the exit polls are saying that 70% of Obama supporters will support Clinton in the Fall, but less than half of Clinton followers will support Obama. I really believe this is not “just blowing smoke” by the Clinton voters. I keep hearing from some pundits that the black voters will be disenfranchised if the nomination is “given” to Clinton over Obama. But what is missing in the discussion is that blacks are voting in record numbers (double maybe even triple), and the Democratic nominee regardless is going to get 90%+ of the black vote. If 70% of Obama supporters will support Clinton in the Fall if she is the nominee and the black voter turnout is doubled, then 70% of the doubled amount is much more than the normal turnout. It is simple math. Plus Clinton will come with the traditional Reagan Democrats that is needed to win key States like Ohio and Pennsylvania. Otherwise a good portion will go to McCain. This is the discussion buster that make’s Obama supporters’ argument not hold water. If the Democratic Party wants more of the same outcome of the Presidential election then go with Obama. Just like a distance runner, it is not always the one that gets off to a fast start that ends up prevailing in the end, it is the one that is running best at the end.

She's like the zombie at the end of the movie who you think is dead, but then some idiot goes over and nudges her and she jumps up again and bites his shin. She has nothing really to lose personally from continuing to run; her husband has already tainted his legacy by puching below the belt and carrying on like we all wished he wouldn't. And if you like Hillary, you'll always like her; if you don't you won't. Who loses is the Democratic party if she keeps on for much longer; the Dems need to unite behind Barack. To use another metaphor, she's like the wife who won't give her husband a divorce, or vice versa, and they drag their heels just to put the other person through as much pain as possible instead of making a clean break. It's time for the Clintons to take their rightful place as legends of the Democratic party and give the newer generation their time in the sun. I'd still love to see Bill as Secretary of State though, I think he'd be terrific.

Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

I think the answer to the question was written all over Bill and Chelsea's faces as they stood behind Hillary during her victory speech in Indiana. They were grim. The numbers are increasingly impossible to overcome. Hillary can't now win unless Barack throws in the towel. Watch for a superdelegate bandwagon heading toward the Obama camp in the next week or so. It's over.

First of all I don't understand how people keep implying that Obama is winning because of the African American population. African Americans are called minorities for a reason. We are the MINORITY. We make up 25% of Democrats. That means 75% of Democrats are…get this…not African American. And most likely white voters. So, actually there are for more of the "majority" voting for him than African Americans.

Wrap your head around that for a second and I think this race issue will become a moot point.

Go Obama, Serbia cheers for you!!!

Fred, get ready to vote for McCain then because Mr. Obama will embrace the Oval Office!!

who cares if racist dems vote for McCain, even with their support, McCain will still lose, his party is even turning on him, you can't scare Obama with that tired and racist tactic, hey to all closet and ignorant racist, jump ship now, your white hope just left the building, looosers!!

I agree with Berat! Hopefully no more kitchen sink stuff again, cause that has been the only way she has used to successfully delay the process for Obama. Such desperate efforts or so call soldiering on, only serves to polarize and moreover it is waste of funds that could be best used for GE.
One should never relax with Hillary because, she has told us how she was "so honoured" to run with Obama only to turn around and trash him the next minute! I used to be very fond of the Clintons, but it seems that power is more important to them than the wellbeing of Americans and the world. Hopefully more people will see through all their games/tricks like in NC and never vote for them at all!

As I see it the Democrats have blown it big time and the American people will have two choices for president — a gung ho war mongering Republican and a fraud on the Democratic side. Is Obama mesmerizing people? why can't the majority see though him? His health plan stinks — just ask Elizabeth Edwards who has had more personal and polical experience in this area than he has. He says he won't play politics as usual, but why don't you Obama supporters do a little research on his buddy Rezco and see exactly how Obama was able to swing the purchase of a house in Chicago that was beyond his means. And maybe you think the Wright issue should go away, but even you must admit to the irony of the candiate for change taking 20 years to change his mind here. Wright believes what Farrakhan believes — that Jews are the devil, that the holocaust did not exist, that Jews caused 911, and that all Americans had 911 coming to them. Can you imagine the fallout on Sen. Clinton if she even smiled at a man who said slavery was a hoax. Obama better get himself a decent cabinet and vice president (although I doubt he can win — the Republicans will tear him to shreds) because he is not up to the job!

What you(the media) fail to understand, is that Obama is believer in God. "No weapons formed against me shall proper" - do you(the media) have any idea the context of these words of God. It doesn't matter what the media does to Obama. You have pounced on Rev. Wright so much and it DIDN"T WORK! You people really owe Sen. Obama an apology, that's OK is has the satisfaction of knowing that it didn't work. I have that same satisfaction!

This woman is a nightmare!
she needs to get real and realize that it is time to quit…

Does she honestly believe she can win? I think her campaign has been "mispeaking" to her. They can make the statistics say whatever they want…for example "Hillary, you are leading among the white men who gets their haircut on Tuesday afternoon when it is overcast and drink their coffee with the left hand." 50% of statistics lie anyway, right…Come on Hillary give it up for the good of the campaign….And to think I am not voting for either one.

Hillary is just being STUPID now as she trudges on for no good reason. She cannot win the nomination… I think she'd be a perfect SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR under OBAMA….

SHUT HER UP and SEND HER PACKING…. ENOUGH OF HAGGY HILLARY

She stated last night that Florida and Michigan delegates need to count. NOW THEY NEED TO COUNT. I believe when all of the candidates agreed to the DNC's sanction of Florida and Michigan were wrong. SHE WAS ONE OF THOSE CANDIDATES! The rules were set and that was how they agreed to play the game. She arrogantly thought Michigan and Florida would not matter. She thought she would have this thing sown up after Super Tuesday. Now that she needs Michigan and Florida, she is "fighting for your rights". What a crock! Seat Florida as is, she still will be behind in the popular vote and the delegate count. Seating Michigan as is should not even be a thought on the mind of anyone with any common sense. Obama was not on the ballot. For that matter neither was Edwards, and at that time he was still a viable candidate. Michigan wanted a revote for JUST Michigan Democrats. So are we saying its okay to disenfranchise independents and republicans who wanted to vote for a democratic nominee, so long as democrats get to revote? How hypocritical is that!!!! But consider this people, she was the only real viable democrat on the Michigan ballot, and she still only got a little over 50% of the vote!!! I know that the Clintons's are always considered the come back kids, but its over. As of June 3rd, she will still be behind. For her to even consider taking this primary to the convention in August and having the superdelegates, not the people, give her the nomination tells me that Sen.Clinton is selfish, divisive, and could give a rat's behind about the people of this country. The people are speaking loud and clear, and she refuses to listen. Its all about the power of being POTUS. A superdelegate over through of these primary results would be the greatest disenfranchisement of voters in modern US history!!!!!!

ok…everyone needs to start coming together now. Let's stop the silly talk about Obama losing the general and how clinton supporters will go to McCain…it does no good now.

McCain will leave our kids in Iraq in harms way for no good reason. Its time to band together for those kids and get them home.

Hillary just go home…PLEASE

Your win at any costs is not resignating with the American public at least not the ones with the ablity to think rationally. If I were in your shoes:

1. Worth over $100M
2. With incomed gurantteed for life with Bill Salaries and your libraries etc
3. Only connected with OLD people, UNeducated people, and housewives, i would just quit.

Let's face it, these three groups of folk are beloved by our country but ARE NOT the people we look to for innovation and to help solve the issues facing us today.

This is why I BEG you to stop being selfish and just go HOME. Old people are not equipped to face the challenges you allowed this adminsitration to get us in beyond the war in Iraq, housewives especailly those that are educated are great women but let them stay with the kids and read stories while the other educated moms that work outside of the home and do EXACTLY what they do EVERYday solve challenges as we are so equipped at doing at twice the stress level because lets be honest….if I have to take care of the home and earn the bacon….I am just on another level than the average stay at home mom no matter how beloved they are and let's not talk about the uneducated….I persoanlly think you should have to take an exam to vote as the public on whole are well ignorant. I don't mean to be curel but I am a 31 Phd….less than 2% of the public have been willing to make th sacrafices i have and I am a mom of a 13 y/o (31 May)….
Must i say anymore!

Let the uneducated drink beer and watch American Idol or Dancing with the Stars and allow myself, Obama, and the other brains of this country (however few still remain) do what we do best…sovle problems to allow you to have the time to drink your shots and plug in to the TV and out of the world. Don't start thinking now, you have not done your homework….

Once again I don't want to be cruel but how can it be that the Indianans, Ohioans…folks that have suffered the most by Clintons Nafta (BOTH CLINTONS) be so willingly to blindly support her…?

This is why you should shutup and color and why you Hillary should go home and have a coke a smile and STOP lobbying to the C-, D+ students of the world becuase you are not smart enough to hang with the smart kids….we tend to THINK and apply logic vice emotion. WHO CARES ABOUT REV WRIGHT? No more than i care your husband was engaged in sexual activity in the White House that my tax dollars maintain….You want to hold Obama accountable for a Rev but you hold no responsiblity in your poor decision making to include marrying a compuslive liar and cheat, your vote for the war; your coward appoarch to healthcare (which also reflects your inability to work within your own party; never mind across party lines); your death toll to inlcude JFK Jr…yeah I said it and yes I am one of those people that tend to follow the money and analyse who benefits when strange things happen in this country. The recent murder (sucide) of the DC Madame, did you and Bill do that one too?

Lady Go HOME….
You are worth more than 99% of PEOPLE will ever see, what else do you want? totoal obliferation.

Sorry not a great speller!

Now let's see how Lanny Davis spins this. THE biggest Clinton sycophant going!! Sad thing is, he has been drinking from the Clinton well since their college days, and honestly, if there were a video of Hillary robbing a 7-11 at gunpoint, he would try to spin it as she was there protecting the owner from higher taxes or something. Lanny….stop sucking at her teat, it's over!!!

According to CNN's delegate calculator, even if Clinton wins the remaining contests by 20 points, she still needs over 75% of the remaining unpledged delegates. Gee, think maybe it's time for her to BOW OUT? Too bad she'll keep ripping the party apart for her own selfish reasons despite not having a realistic shot to win.

The black racism in the North Carolina win cannot triumph over the nomination process. The Indiana win of a mere 9 counties by Obama out of more than 100 counties cannot triumph over the nomination process. Florida and Michigan must be counted; the remaining states must vote; and the superdelegates must use their independent judgment to select the best qualified candidate for the presidency and that is Hillary Clinton. The fight for the future of America continues.

Yes, When pigs fly!!!!
Obama 08!!

This life long Republican is ready for a change and supporting Obama. Keep it going.

Nice rebound from what's been a rough few weeks. It's been a brutal, tough and sometimes unfair race, it was nice to see Senator Obama find his rhythm again last evening. No matter how it ends, I salute my candidate for his perseverance and his willingness to be candid, to admit whatever faults he has and to remain committed to the final goal. He's run a campaign he can be proud of and I really hope we can send the world a very positive message in November that America wants to return to the ideals, integrity and promise of days past.

I was also pretty happy to hear Senator Clinton last night reinforce her intention to rally this party together, no matter who the nominee is. If it should be Obama, I really hope her supporters will listen to what she has to say. Here's to hoping we can keep our eyes locked on the bigger objective without getting lost in the candidate war. If not, I suspect the message we send is we're still very willing to cut off our nose to spite our face.

Until now Hillary was praised for being tenacious and determined. If she continues on the praise will turn to criticism for being stubborn and selfish and for not thinking of the party first.

Hillary's tirade about going after OPEC is dangerous. Just to prove her wrong OPEC are now talking $200 a barrel. Give it a rest Hillary. You are doing more harm than good.

I Don't think that will ever happen. She LOANED her own campaign for 6.4 million dollars??? There is a reason why she was outspent!

She vowed to "soldier on" before she knew how tiny her margin was in Indiana. Still, I believe she would "soldier on" even if she lost both contests. She's hoping for some miracle, aka she'll find some real dirt on Obama or if she can't find if some mud will stick anyway.

Obama made a great speech. She just followed some of his leads. She spoke of the world's "we are all americans" after 9.11 and says she plans to make America likeable again. Well… if she measures likeable by herself, then she probably thinks her sentence about obliterating Iran is a major step forward.

My bet is she'll go all the away to the convention, and she'll have to be dragged away screaming and biting. She's wounding her party and she doesn't seem to care. Or maybe, deep down, she really has a soft heart… for the Republicans.

She will not win and ether will Obama in the main. There is no way I could ever vote for a man that has based his whole election on race and the hate of his supporters descised as hope.
the man has won other elections by default.
he has continually lied and then switched his statement
His supporters have continually threatened but yet its Hillary that is the neg.
He is without a doubt raceist to benifit his needs.
he is a typical politian
He has all talk and no action,
His wife I dont even know where to start.about her
He will have us out of Irag but not out of war it will just be moved over the boarder.
He will Loose in the long run and we will be stuck with McCain

Fred, if only you had a brain…

No.No.No.NC and IN(close call) proved that there are few takers for her blatant lies.She was surprised with the result ?! Am so glad she finally got what she deserved.
But we all know shes a "fighter" - BS.She wants to continue competing so she can pressurize the DNC to make her atleast obamas running mate.Dont let that happen OBAMA !

Comon Billary, you can still try to totally not destroy the Dem party.People have spoken with thier votes - Dont you see the message?Leave the race NOW with any dignity left.

NO COUNTRY FOR LIARS AND OLD MEN !

O8AMA !

I like the "He won the majority of the black vote, big surprise" comment. You know what? Black voters don't make up the majority in NC either! Roughly, I believe, 1/3rd of the registered voters. You can't get those kind of margins on just 1/3rd of the voters. The arguement that he only wins in black voters is ignorant of the facts, and sounds somewhat racist to me.

Yes, I'm a white male, I'm college educated. To top that all off, I live in Florida. Obama has my vote. Heck, I've never voted before, none of the other elections had cantidates that made any sense to me. I find Obama refreshing.

I also have to wonder, did anyone else think the Clinton supporters on CNN last night sounded… desperate? Almost like they were in denial, whats with this "new number" crap? The DNC rules committe says the number is what it is, individual cantidates can't set their own benchmarks for electability. If it wasn't so sad, it'd be funny.

I also like Hillary's camp's arguements that the Super Delegates can override the popular vote, and should do so. For people who are so concerned about disenfranchising the Michigan/Florida vote, they certainly don't seem worried about disenfranchising everyone by having the super delegates go against the will of the people.

To frame my comments, I voted for President Clinton in '96 (too young in '92) and was very happy with his presidency on a whole. I started this election season supporting Sen Clinton but now Sen Obama has won my support. IF Clinton wins the nomination, I will vote for her in the general election because I honestly believe that she will be a better president than John McCain.

Having said that, where in the HELL do the Clintons find these sycophantic supporters? Man, it seems like every Clinton supporter that gets an interview lives in a fantasy world where she couldn't possibly lose the nomination. They talk as if they honestly believe that there is NO CHANCE of Obama winning the nomination. Did anyone see Lanny Davis speak with the CNN election coverage people last night? This isn't a knock on Sen Clinton, actually it's admirable. I wish that I could inspire the level of blind loyalty that she and Pres Clinton can. But I'm not sure I want some of her supporters to have a seat at the table. They just don't seem to want to recognize that thing that most people call the real world.

Stop trying to make this all about the African American vote. In Indiana, that are far more white voters and they came out for Obama.

She only eked out IN because of the Senior vote. I can guarantee you that come November he will win.

To answer the question of do I think he is qualified? Yes. I would not be supporting him if I did not think so.

Not only can't she rebound but now she had to loan her campaign 6 million dollars. Poorly run campaign all around. Too many people just don't believe in her. Wonder why……………………………..I think i will donate another fifty to Barack.

No. She cannot rebound…..and inside, she KNOWS this.
She can, however, keep dividing the party she claims to love.
What has become very clear is that this is NOT about the democrats winning the White House this year….it's about Hillary Clinton winning it.

It's an awful spectacle to watch. Her ego is out of control.
She doesn't love this country, she loves herself.

No matter what hatred the far right tries to bring into the race, by dividing us, by race, SHE will lose.There is going to be huge backlash because she didn't have to divide the party, just so she could still lose. Hillary is corrupt, a liar, cheater, racist ( her and Bill),can't face the facts. America is ready to move forward…Hillary, I hope you and Bill get found guilty on the fraud charges you're facing. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE. He is winning big states too..

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know that if clinton wins the nomination alot of people will vote for her over mccain. but if obama wins the nomination they will definitely be voting for mccain no matter their party affiliation!!

People always try to say that the Republican candidate is chosen by the rich and powerful in their party. I don't see any evidence of that this year. However, if Clinton wins this, it is purely because of the super deligates. Who are the super deligates if not the rich and powerful in the party? Do the Dems want to become the embodiment of what they mock the GOP for?

nope

To Emmaddy- You are so right but sadly the old lions of the party are hell bent to lead us to defeat just so they can say "We put up the first Black Man." After the hateful and rude comments from the Obama camp no wonder many Dems will either sit out the general election or end up voting for McCain.

The very troubling feature of Clinton's tax holiday is her failure to listen to the experts, to battle on no matter what: "Rocky Balboa will prevail over all odds!" A short term "fix" even though it makes no sense in the long term. That is exactly how our national financial situation has become so dire, decades of continually doing the expedient but wrong thing. She tried to buy votes "on the cheap." A prime example of pandering. Fortunately Indiana and North Carolina did not buy it.

This Clinton characteristic is why her health care plan failed in the 90ies.

What is even more troubling is that this is exactly the characteristic: failure to listen to rational voices, failure to consider a reasonable cross section of opinions, and rushing in not matter what, that caused Bush to get us into Iraq.

Is this the President we can afford to send to the White House?

Wait, are we still talking about this? THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN WIN THIS THING - END IT

Brenda, NC May 7th, 2008 9:05 am ET

Once again we are going to miss the opportunity to have a great President. Obama is stealing the nomination from Hillary Clinton. Democrats are making a big mistake. Hillary will make a better President than Obama. Hillary stands a better chance to beat McCain in the general election. We need Hillary to lead our country—give her a chance and you will never regret it.
It is over !!!!!!!NC had their say last night and obviously she is not what we need.

Its already slipped. She couldn't win before last night and she's further behind now.

The great news is now MI and FL won't matter either way. Even though she's still pushing for them hopefully this wil resolve itself before the DNC has to address it.

What is Obvious to me is that the party is divided and the Whole country from coast to coast to all the territories are half for Obama and half for Hillary… there is two fractions of the party and the country is telling Obama and Hillary loud and clear that we want them both in a joint ticket. How can it be clearer? Hillary is running for something and perhaps today is more clear to me is maybe VP. I hope I am not the only one seen this. Obama needs Hillary as much as she needs him and the whole country is counting on them. Let’s call, let’s unite!!!

Wow; Keep wondering about what other surprises –beside the Rev Wight- may lie in wait for folks caught up in the early majic of Obama. I am one of many who admire and even "cherrish" Johnnie McCain but was distracted by Obama's ability to "talk the talk". I can report now that I am now convinced that the man can not walk the walk.First of all, the guy has been dumb enough to marry a beautiful wife who- it now appears- may be more than his intellectual evil, but has now- in reference to his choice of churches- demonstrated the behavior of a fiercely ambitious young man. That,my friend is a "grevious faull".

pack up Hill, you're done!!!

TOAST!!!

Good bye

Today, I feel a little lighter. Barack Obama IS the Presumptive Nominee now and he WILL be the next President of the United States. After all that the Clinton's have put them through, especially the past few months, I am sooooooooo glad that we will have them on our side. We are no longer Obama supporters and Hillary supporters… we are Democrats and we are ready to change this country!

I keep hearing Democrats talking about they must follow party rules. Even if it means defeat we must follow Party rules. Here is a “basic” lesson in life, you win by adjusting your strategy and approach as needed to ensure the best success.

DO THE MATH OVER FOR CLINITON!!!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!! BY THE WAY SHE (LOST IND )7% OF THE VLOT CAME FROM REPUBLICANS TRYING TO UPSET OBAMA

Hmmm let me see how many ways can I say the word "No" No way mis amigos, no my friend, nada mucho, HECK NO!

I knew Obama was ahead because the media was unsually quiet last night. It was like someone had died. I was saying to myself, how is Hiliary gonna propose a gas holiday this summer and she is not even President. Obama winning by 2% shows that he is ELECTABLE. Thank you Rev. Wright. He is somewhere getting the last laugh. It is gonna be amazing to what Sean/Rush/Bill talk about today. Oh I forgot Rev. Wright. Yeah, Hiliary had to dodge sniper fire. It was all of the votes that Obama received.

Well….NO SHE CAN'T!!!

All of her ridiculous arguments and antics are null and void! I don't even believe that she believes it antmore (as if she ever did). Now we learn she just loaned herself 6.4 million dollars. She surely won't raise any substantial money after last night. Well, unless she gets the oil companies to pay for it just like the gas tax. LOL!!!!

Let's get real; even when you throw in Florida and Michigan now, she no longer has the popular vote argument! There is 0% possibility for her to win the majority of states, popular vote, or delegates.

Bye, bye Sillary Clinton. Silly rabbit! Tricks are for Clintons. Now I guess they'll get back to getting millions of donations to the Clinton Museum from questionable Middle East donors.

No, it will be up to the general election voters to decide what real change in America means. Whether it springs from rhetoric and manner or whether it is based on character and courage. Whether change comes from having a different political party in power or whether it depends more on the candidate's proven record of change. Whether change comes from judging our president on the color of his skin or by looking to the content of his character. And whether, in the end, real change is created by inspirational speeches or whether it takes hard work and straight talk to create lasting change.

Americans for McCain '08

Obama CAN win in November, and so can Hillary (if things don't get nasty and technical at the convention) should something miraculous happen and she win the popular/delegate votes. This is why. People are really upset with the way the republicans and current congress have handled things especially from 2004 until now. People will change as did I who was a republican leaning independent before the 2000 fiasco. Defections like me will allow ANY democrat to win the white house in November.

McCain has sold himself out to the devil of corporate greed. Bottom line is. He is old and unispiring. People need a leader that can project hope to recapture the uniquely American dream, even if it is all they can do during their time in the white house.

In my opinion, CNN is presenting themselves as Obama supporters for the time being…

Obama's democrat nomination is sealed. The numbers don't support Hillary but don't forget she has vowed to support Obama and we all still need her. Democrats United.

the super s need to end this by the end of the week and put the lying old hag out to pasture where she can pander a whole new bunch of wore out cow s

What's that sound? It's the fat lady singing. See ya Hill.

Congrats Obama!!

Sadly, I do not feel like a democrat anymore. I just cannot belong to a party just for African Americans. I feel that the democratic party is totally off balance with the way the primary election has turned out. I will be voting Republican in the fall.

Did her testicular fortitude get caught in a North Carolina vice? Ouch!

To second that opinion - NO!

Frankly I'm at a loss as to why you keepcoming up with these slivers of "opportunity" that don't really exist.

"Can she rebound in time" - what color are the skies on your planet? There's no rebound, pure and simple - math is math.

As to Obama's problem with certain segments of the voting public, you forget he won white votes in other states, and if you believe the local authorities in Indiana and Ruch Limbaugh, then some of Hillary's "strength" in these areas came from cross-over Republicans who have NO intention of voting for Hillary in the General Election. I think it is reasonable to say, given the closeness of the race that if the Rush "Operation Chaos" was factor out Hillary might have actually LOST Indiana last night.

There's no support, the math is against her (and NC was the last "Big" state delegate-wise) she's ru
