Why do the Clintons so desperately want to get back to the white house and what`s this experience they`re talking about in Hilary. Oh! please give me a break.

It`s obvious a new John F. Kennedy is born and nothing is going to stop him from sweeping into the white house. This is a guy with such sound intelligence and eloquence, who`s got the sound judgement to lead the greatest nation on God`s earth.

Throw in the towel Hilary, it`s all over. There are strong human and supernatural forces propelling obama and one thousand of you cannot stop the will of God. God lives in America and he has made his choice for reasons well above every human comprehension.

Real democrats vote democrat regardless

If this is true, it proves that REAL Democrats are idiots. Vote for your cronies, not their understanding of issues or character.

It doesn^t matter that Obama is winning with more than 90% of african american votes and republican votes…

A win is a win….

The important thing is that Hillary should fight more and win remaining states with big margins…

Hillary , definitely is the best choice….
-Hillary 08.

The primary in Indiana was a thriller.
The results from Lake County sholuld not have benn repiorted in blocks. Itshuld have been a consecutibe reporing.

I have followed the American Elections for quite some time now. I have great admiration of the system that includes the primaries and caucuses for the political parties before the general elections grand finale. The wide and democratic participation of all eligible voters is admirable too. The only grey areas that do not augur well for American democracy in this scenarior are (1) the very visible and openly biased reporting by the media,especially cnn, against Senetor Barack Obama, and (2) the fact that members of another party can vote for a candidate in another party as was the case in Indiana where Republians voted to advantage their own candidate.

I love my country! I love the United States of America. Senator Barack Obama loves his country. He represents whites, black, democrats, republicans, white collar and blue collar. Hilary Clinton started all of the negative attacks and a lot of you actually bought into it. Senator Obama has been distracted by Clinton tactics and forced to defend himself. The majority of the American people are drawn to violence and aggression. Open your mind and open your heart. Senator Clinton will certainly out perform hot tempered George W. McCain, if elected. Senator Clinton will not do better than Senator Obama. Do you know why? Because the world will respond to us more favorably based on practical, logical, and sound decisions. We as Americans should consider ourselves as one big family and not be destroyed by Washington politics, President Bushes, and Clintons. Final note…. Barack you have done a fantastic job taking on President Bill Clinton, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Presidential 2028 hopeful Chelsea Clinton.

ha ha ha, 51 percent of indianna sold their vote for a promise of 28 bucks worth of gas….ha ha ha ha great job indianna.

Go Obama !!!

I think an something Maureen Dowd said a few weeks ago is worth repeating…

The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just go. … I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Hillary R. Clinton, will you please go now! You can go on skates. You can go on skis. … You can go in an old blue shoe.

Just go, go, GO!”

Hillary's nasty divisive campaigning is not working - can someone PLEASE make her stop already - she is hurting the democratic party and helping McCain

I am a Obama supporter, and at first I was going to vote for who ever won the Demacratic nomination, but after all the negative campaining that Senater Clinton has been doing since she started trailing him, I have decided that if she doe's by some strange miracle win the nomination that I would just sit this election out. She has destroyed what could have been a dream ticket, now I just wish she would drop out of the race and and try to salvage what litlle pride she has, and help to repair the damage she caused the party.

WHEN is Hillary going to drop out? All of her reasons for staying in are selfish and hurting the democratic party. Obama IS going to win. She will obviously be his running mate. There is nothing else to gain from staying in this election except attracting extreme negativity to both candidates.

the Clintons will do anything to get elected.

i pray what happened in indiana in the lake county is not going to repeat its self in the general election or in the remaining primary election pls ———-and pls

After another long-awaited pair of primaries, we end up with another split and no clearly defined winner emerges. With Michigan and Florida taken out of play, it's been obvious for some time now that neither candidate can possibly win enough pledged delegates to earn the nomination. Thus, the superdelegates will determine the nominee, which is decidedly UNdemocratic. The stakes in the general election are far too high to risk going into the campaign as a fractured party. Perhaps it is time for BOTH Barak and Hillary to drop out and allow the party to try and find a unity candidate whom ALL democrats will support. Otherwise, I fear four to eight more years of Republican rule.

dont u think lake county needs further investigation cos i think obamas victory came from there pls cos if it was hillary and her campaigners they will not love such game to be played there .pls pls pls solve the problem like mariah a———-a——————a

Okay, our celebration is over.

Sen. Clinton supporters… there still is, and there will always be, more than enough room on this train of change for everyone. Join us! It's kinda sorta fun too!

we should face the fact rules are rules if hillary were in obamas shoes she will defenately not agree to some one breaking the rules cos she is leading the more she brings that topic up the more her love for her campaign is being dragged down that is what that happen in north caroline we can see she is loosings more from the africa americas cos some of her surporters in the africa americas cant stand that arguement they see her now as a desperado u no rules are rules u no pls she has to take that away from her campaign cos some people does not see that has a fair arguement so i once congratulate obama once more and also thenks to all his suppporters both blue colors and whatever color ha–ha—ha thenk u all god bless america

So the latest stage of American Idol continues - well that's how it feels. This has to be the most shallow election in history.

Neither candidate is in my opinion electable.

Too many hate Clinton - often for no discernable reason than they have been told that she's not nice.

Obama has too many skeletons still to come out - sorry but he is not the outsider he pretends to be but another crooked Chicago politician on the make.

McCain is going to destroy him in November - if you think Clinton was hard on Obama - that is nothing compared to the attack dogs of Rove and the GOP. Moreover, you don't win elections without the senior and the blue collar bvote - and they are not going to vote for him.

OBAMA DIDN^T WIN INDIANA…
THAT^S A FACT…..
-HILLARY 08

The Clintons are ahead of a long line of "TAKERS", in this country, that use politics, as a way to make a living, off their lies….Only in America, can thieves be rewarded for their service to the Nation. Why is that? We have lost the true meaning of what a True American is……

God bless America! Vote democrat in November if you want a change. Whether its Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama..the choice would be better than putting McCain there…McCain himself said that he does not know much about economy..should not our Government now focus on Domestic matters. Brings the troops home from Iraq and lets focus on Afghanistan where we should have in the first place. Lets shift the focus on making our economy strong again and put America back at the top of the world. God bless America!

am congratulating obama for a win and a close game in indiana i said it he is the man , he his for change the heavy turn out for the primary election now was just becos of him people turn out heavily to support him or to vote against him he had breacked the record by dat he had change the face of politics in america with the old and young desperately wants him.imagine if he is the nominee and the party unify with obama it will be a huge win for the party cos it will be a minority who changed to register with democratic temporaly just to see him not win cos they no he is going to be a treath to mccain if the democratic unifies and backs obama am happy for him he has try to lead all through he has not been defeated althrough he has been trailed at the back by his oponent through out his wining and losing he has not been raped up so his a good fighter and his campaign group are consistence.am praying hard for a change and there will be a change in the white house .

The first presidential race I voted in was in 1976, and I havent missed an election yet, local, or national. I started out as a democrat, and have never voted for a republican candidate for any office. I even went to the polls in 96 after my house burned down early that morning, and I had 2 children in the hopsital who were burned in the fire.

Both my father, and my mother, God rest their souls, never voted for a republican either. They're both going to be rolling over in their graves when my signs for McCain go up in the yard next week. I've done a lot of soul searching, looking for just one reason I should cast my vote for Obama, and I can't find one worthy of going into the voting booth, and exercising the most sacred right I have in voting for him.

I won't be staying home on election day, because I owe it to myself, and to my country to cast my vote to the person whom I believe will be the best president from the choices on the ballot, and my personal opinion is that unless Hillary Clinton's name is there, the next best choice is John McCain.

Hopefully, another democrat worth voting for will be on the ballot in four years, but right now, I, for the first time in my life, am ashamed to be a democrat.

I am confused how rationale thinking people can even consider McCain as an option for president. McCain would just continue the failed bush policies of war and low taxes for the rich. That is in essence the platform of the Republican party. Can someone tell me what is the Domestic policy/s of the Republican Party? Are Americans aware that the war is costing taxpayers billions of dollars each week..don't you think that there is a connect between the high cost of the war and the current economic situation in our beloved country. You want to continue that? Vote Republican. God Bless America!

Robert,new york., who are you trying to fool? You are a Republican who is posing as a democrat. Real democrats vote democrat regardless if his/her candidate did not win. I am a true democrat and I'm voting whomsoever is the democrat nominee..Obama cannot be worse than George Bush and McCain would just continue the Bush policies of War and low taxes for the rich. Obama/Hillary 08

Yes, Hillary should accept her failure, and drop out. Dee Fla.

Hillbilly Apples outta hit the long dusty road home before she completely screws up the chance for Obama's victory in the general election, theres something not right about that woman, possibly another crooked politician?

Obama 08′

3:16

If you can' stand Obama supporters try setting down.

Well, don't expect any changes soon if it took Obama 20yrs to figure out that his pastor was a flamboyant speaker.

Hillary mount your steed , be sure to use your ear plugs and ride out of town but never look back as all Obama supporters will be hollaring yes we can,waving Obama cards ,clapping and the band will play God Bless America .

Change we can believe in .

Yes we can Obama 08 .

RUSH LIMBAUGH,WOLF BLITZER AND REV . WRIGHT ARE PART OF THE SAME CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Obama will win the General. Get real. we cant afford another term of bush. I truly believe that America will not let this war go on. I dont believe that america can stomach more and more of our sons and daughters coming home in body bags from this war of Iraq. I cant believe america will stomach that Experience has got us into this war. and this economy mess. I cant believe that america will be sleeping at the steering wheel to see this country to fall and fall more into a mess. I cant and I dont want to see my daughter to go to a senseless war. I feel for the familys that have lost there love ones in this war. I feel its time to wrap this war up and bring out boys and girls home and spend the money back to this country and bring this country back together. I know that Obama will win this election and I will bet this. JOHN MCCAIN WILL LOSE IN A LANDSLIDE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. THE DEMOCRATS ARE GAINING SEATS IN THE HOUSE AND IN SENATE. AND THE CHANGE IS HAPPENING. AMERICA IS TIRED OF BUSH AND MCCAIN WILL LOSE. WE NEED CHANGE AND OBAMA WILL WIN. ITS TIME TO NOT FEAR CHANGE. ITS TIME NOT TO BE SCARED OF CHANGE AND ITS TIME TO FACE AS A NATION AND TO UNITE TO THE CANIDATE FOR CHANGE. OBAMA IS CHANGE AND OUR BET HOPE. I AM REPUBLICAN AND I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA. AND BYE THEY WAY I AM ALSO WHITE. AND I BELIEVE IN OBAMA. ITS TIME. OBAMA 08.

So…Obama erases Hillary's victory in Pa. After her politically spun out of control "victory" in Indy, she said "its on to the white house…". I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

Its time to unite around OBAMA and take out BUSH3!

Democrats08

Again Barack failed to close the deal… this makes the game all the way to convention.

If Barack cant close the deal by May 27, he will have now way to win dem nomination.

I am very much sure that the DNC will count Florida and/or Michegan, for candidate to win 2209 delegates.
.

The people that is saying Barack is racist is stupid. He's half black and half white. Who can he be racist against. Morans… Go Obama

Indiana was a sllpit and NC was a landslide. No way Hillary can catch up. She will ask Obama to help her raise money to pay off her debts and then she will campaign for Obama. She is broke right now.

okay so clinton won indiana and obama won north carolina can this just be all over now? let her on the ticket but not bill . we only need one vice president.

Hillary did worst than expected. She was supposed to win by a larger margin in Indiana, the state that she campaigned for Carter in; the state next door to her birthplace of Illinois. She could have won by more. Obama on the other hand closed the gap in 90% white Indiana. He cut into some of Hillary's demographics. Even if he got 100% of the black vote he could not do as well as he did with out a large number of the white vote. CNN has to stop talking about the black and white vote. It's polarizing. The population of America is only 12% black. Obama is black and white, so he does well with both.

Like Obama once said, a win is a win. Hillary won Indiana and there is nothing you obamabots can spin and say. Also, for Obama to win another red republican state, North Carolina means nothing since the republicans is going to win North Carolina anyway in the general election.

Sorry Hillary, you lose! You can have West Virginia and Kentucky, you still lose! Super delegates will rain 2 to 1 for Obama, Ohhh! You lose again! Do the right thing and get behind Obama so the Democrats can win the general election!

Can't stand Obama supporters. I will campaign non stop for McCain. And i have voted democrat for the last three elections. The straight shooter is preferable than the racist Barack

I am not surprised if there is something fishy about this Lake County affair. Obama and his supporters would do anything including cheating to win the nomination. First, a lot of complaints have been filed against the Obama campaign regarding them cheating the caucuses by bullying people around and purposely delaying the voting process to discourage many of the Hillary supporters from staying.

Also, fresh off as a lawyer in 1997, Obama abused his position as head of a voter registration project to expand his access to the ballot box. Obama operatives filed into a hearing room of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners and challenged hundreds of signatures on the nominating petitions until every one of his four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot.

Obama will do anything to win. He represents nothing but the old politics!

Mayor Clay is the largest panderer of media attention in Lake county.I live in the neighboring city and all you hear is his excuses and whining of all of his problems that he brings on his city.I was just sick to listen to his excuse for the late returns from Lake county.I was starting to smell a rat. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm…. Lake County conveniently saving their ballots until they see how many it will take to win. Sorry Obama. Us Clinton supporters are waiting for you in the general election. We can smell a rat. Everyone knows you can not win this election. Michigan and Florida are waiting to exact their revenge, and you can not win Pennsylvania or Ohio. Howard Dean has permanently destroyed this party. Come on Hillary! Run as an Independent and truly make history in America! If not…. Well… We all know who I am voting for and millions of Clinton supporters just like me… Go McCain!!!!

THATS ANYONE KNOW WHO WON BETWEEN REV. WRIGHT AND THE MEDIA? STILL WAITING FOR THE RESULTS

After May 6, we are back to statusquo-I mean Obama and Clinton back to where they were before Pensylvenia. Democrats should end this now. Clinton should be persuaded to drop out and do no further damage to democrats. Any talk of Clinton supporters not backing Obama is a grudge that will definitely sort itself out before November in favour of Obama.The issue of Wright is a no issue as he does not represent OBAMA nor is he Obama. There are thousands of obnoxious people supporting CLINTON, MCCAIN AND OBAMA all across America. That a high profile one has come out openly for Obama does not change what Obama stands for. If wright was white his outburst will not even see the headlines.
You Ameicans should vote for the change that you desperately need. Vote with your heads and not with your hearts. Vote OBAMA

As a historian, I have to wonder why this process is portrayed as unique or particularly unpredictable. It’s very simple: if Obama does not have the nomination by the time of the convention, the super delegates will give it to Clinton. There will be a backroom deal, as with the elections of Hayes, Kennedy, and J.Q. Adams (only this time at the nomination level) which will give it to her. Dirty deals are part of politics, and the Clinton's are masters of manipulation. Make no mistake, Bill will use his power to swing this election, if it’s not decided by the voters. When that happens, it will be interesting to see how Obama reacts.

Come on, people. No, we don't smell corruption. That smell is the faint burning aroma of paranoia. All you conspiracy theorists should just go back to your little cubby holes and put your aluminum foil hats back on.

Everyone knew it was going to be close in Indiana, so the results aren't a surprise. Everyone knew Obama was going o have a convincing win in S.C., so that wasn't a surprise.

What is a surprise at that Hillary Clinton has such a delusional grasp of reality that she actually told her followers "we're on to the White House" after the results tonight. Obama just widened his lead of delegates over Clinton by a net gain of 12 tonight. He is now within 15 delegates over OVERTAKING (not tying) Clinton in the superdelegate count. He has the most popular votes, and most states won (not that that really matters). Tonight was a clear victory for Obama. How in any way, shape or form do today's results make her chances of winning the nomination look better. She couldn't win now even IF the inaccurate vote counts in Michigan and Florida were counted.

What's also surprising is that there are still people out there who think that J. Wright's rants have anything at all to do with any of the candidates running for president. Rev. Wright isn't running for president, and none of the candidates agree with Wright's views. And since Obama disagrees with Wright, you really have to wonder about anyone who question Obama's lack of judgement. Does that mean they agree with Wright?

a section of the American press is becoming increasingly biased in the reporting of this whole election exercise. The truth is that there a many people out who wouldn't want to see Barack Obama in the white house. These people are now just sniffing all over the place for whatever can possibly sway the momentum clinton's way.

Tha arrogance with which the person who is currently in second place talks about the white house makes me wonder if there is something hidden that we don't know about yet. This obviously is nothing to do with votes and the ordinary Americans having their way in who they want running their country.

If republicans crossed over in Indiana to vote for Hillary Clinton, it is clearly because they believe she will be the one that Mccain can easily beat in the general elections.

I want to see what the democratic party will come out with!

WOW! What a ride.

Tomorrow the supers start supporting Obama and soon after Sen. Clinton is done.

She and her team did a great job despite this "upset"
candidate in Obama. I think she should have seen him coming.;.. but then, I thought we should have seen the problems in Iraq coming as well. I'm out of touch with Joe Citizen I guess.

YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!!

Ah, UH

First of all, do we know for sure that Mayor Clay was responsible for holding back the vote counts tonight? Or was it someone from the Election Commission? I think it's a stretch to say that he is solely responsible, particularly because earlier in the evening Mayor Clay was talking to the Washington Post from Obama headquarters. I don't think you can lay this at his feet. And the Hammond mayor was kind of instigating to the point where it just didn't make sense, all but accusing Clay of impropriety, when it seems that Clay was not in the room where the votes were being counted. Additionally, Gary's totals came out first from Lake County!

Something smells rotten in Lake County.

Hillary should have dropped out since Super Tuesday Feb 5. She would have saved alot of money.

Hillary for VP?

Trickle, trickle, drip, drip…..I think I hear the sound of Superdelegates flowing into the Obama Camp.

I believe Hillary's people (Rush Limbaugh) went into Obama's territory in Lake County and tried to mess up the vote. The Mayor supporting Hillary accused the Mayor of Gary falsely. I would not be surprised if Hillary's camp knew that the Republicans were planning to vote in that area, that's why they so boldly planned a celebration meeting in Indiana. Thank God it didn't really work. Obama is a real winner. Truth will prevail.

Obama '08

Barack Obama reminds me of another young, intelligent, bi-racial fenom that took the world by storm about 10 years ago.
I recall, that he was also highly scrutinzed when he bursts onto scene out of nowhere to win the PGA Masters. His name, Tiger Woods……Could we be witnessing the same thing in the political arena??? Definately not "politics" as usual for this election.

good ole America : guilty until proven innocent

Good job obama it time for Hilliary to go what more will it take for her to pact it in if she manages to seat Florida and Michigan i will not vote in November because it will prove to me that we the average people don't count and we live in a corrupted society get out Hillary

OBAMA 08

Hillary should now consider dropping out. Obama has gained momentum to be the nominee now!! The Indiana win to Hillary is practically insignificant compare to the double digit margin in North Carolina for Obama.

Despite all the negative campaign against Obama over the past weeks, he has come out more presidential.

VERY interesting that the mayor of Hammond was babbling about "impropriety" - until his girl Hillary was projected as the winner.

It's over for Hilary,Bill & Chelsea.Godbye to the dynasty.

It's pretty much over but nonetheless Hillary should be congradulated because she still won Indiana. I am so proud and jubilant that Obama won huge in N.C and I knew he would also despite what the pundits were saying. Now we need to focus on McCain and hand an olive Branch to Clinton Supporters

Game, set, match……….Ironically enough, it was Barack's "loss" in Indiana, that actually clinched his nomination. I'm still dizzy though from all of the political spin that the Clinton surrogates were giving last night.

RE-COUNT

Does it really matter that Obama lost Indiana by a mere 2 percentage points (or rounding error as some would argue)? After the May 6th primaries, I think it's obvious that the presumptive Democratic nominee has been chosen. Everything else is just window dressing. BTW, thank you Gary, IN (aka Chicago East) for your support of Barack Obama.

Let those people count those dog gone votes. What do you want from him, it's not like he's the one sitting there counting and hiding votes, if anyone was. What about that one tiny rural county projected for Hillary, we never found out what that outcome was? The heifer won, so what she won just barely and if she did not have the help of Rush and his racist Idiots she would not have won at all.

Indiana is a tainted win for Hillary.

NC. came through for Obama, that win wiped out ALL that she won in Pa. NUFF SAID!!!

I don't mean no harm, but these seniors that are voting most of them are not likely to be here for the next 4 years, they are not going to have to put up with Lying Hillary so if one of them belongs to you maybe you should remind them of that and let them know that they need to go along with the rest of the majority of young people how's chances are somewhat greater of being her and having this election affect their lives. Many of those seniors are not aware enough to understand that Hillary is lying to them at least take the time to talk and explain things to them so that they can make a better choice. I got one that I surely talked to not that I was convinced would go for Hillary, but just in case.

I heard the whole exchange between Wolf and Mayor Clay, an avid Obama supporter, and the nice mayor of Hammond County. If it had not been for that three way exchange that Clay knew was being televised nationwide, I believe that he would have continued with his intended mission of making sure Obama won Indiana.

Thanks, Wolf, for getting it out in the open….and many thanks to the mayor of Hammond county, who outright told Clay that things weren't being done the way they should be. There are always those in every election who will try to do whatever it takes to insure a victory for their candidate. I think this was one of those cases.

Typically, absentee voters are retired, white, and tax paying. I guess those who back Hillary, welfare and on other government jobs drawing salarys, are not considered tax paying; so you can predict that most of the votes will go to Obama…..watch and weep, you Clinton supporters…..

I think Gary Indiana wants to support Obama and that is why they want the count to be accurate when they report.

Boy; you have to wonder about that mayor of Gary; even as a staunch Obama supporter I found myself getting really frustrated with with.

Outstanding win in NC, I had hope for Indiana; I have to say after watching the goings on in Gary; I'm almost relieved that Gary didn't make the difference; I can't even imagine adding Indiana into the mix with Michigan and Florida. I think it's time for Hillary to step aside and begin the process of healing the party, lets get on to McCain..

Gary IN. just did that to keep Hillary from coming out to declare Victory in Barak Obama's backyard too early. They always pull that in Indiana. Being from the Southern Half of the State I personally know the democrats up North are Money Grubbers and try to Trample Southern Indiana any chance they Get. We don't even have a Interstate to connect the Southern Half of Indiana to it's State Capital. They want all the money and power up North so the Dems here are always against the dems up North. The South Rules in Indiana because the Dem Party is Corrupt in the NE Sector. Gang bangers in Suits is what they are… Well Obama Couldn't buy Southern Indiana could he… The Chicago Media Market and the Obama Camp failed MISERABLY!! They outspent Clinton 4 to 1 and couldnt win. Now Clinton can move on to the Final Primary states and Trample Obamas lead in delegates with West Virginia and Kentucky and Puerto Rico. Obama is Unelectable… Half of Us Dems who Obama wants to lie about and accuse of being Republican will not Vote for him.

Anyone wondering when Hillary is going to bow out? Good grief, she fell further behind today!!!

Obama is now clearly the presumptive Democratic nominee.

HRC cannot & will not be able to overtake him in the pledged delegates.

It is time that the media calls her bluff about her chances in the remaining primaries.

Even if that does not happen the Super delegates will take the initiative to bring this to a close in the next few weeks. We might even see a few cross-overs that might surprise the so-called pundits.

The END is near.

Hillary will close doors soon, it order for her to catch up with obama, she must win all remaining contest by more than 85% that is impossible.

Do we smell corruption or what? The absentee ballots were done through computers, there is no way it would take that long to count the ballots.

it's a virtual tie.pack your things now,hillary.

I was very disturbed by two incidents that occurred on your coverage tonight. The first was the comment by Roland Martin that if Obama did not win the nomination, blacks would boycott Hillary Clinton. I believe that this remark is inflammatory, and does a great disservice to blacks, as well as exacerbate the racial divide that obviously exists in this campaign. I objected to Mr. Martin directly when he and Soledad O'Brien covered Reverend Wright' s speech at the NAACP meeting. After that event, both newscasters were holding a virtual love-in for Mr. Wright, exclaiming how well he had presented himself, including his fine sense of humor. Just 24 hours later, after Mr. Martin was evidently knocked to his senses by the public outcry, he then decried Wright's press corps speech. The two speeches were almost identical.
The situation regarding Lake County this evening needs further investigation. CNN was the only station to address the delay in the reporting of votes, and that was due to Jon King's fantastic objective and knowledgeable analysis. I do appreciate the willingness of Mr. King and Mr. Blitzer to investigate this problem with the two mayors. It seems highly suspicious that Mayor Clay held back the reporting of votes, and that this one county with its proximity to Chicago and apparent history of ethical problems was just waiting in the wings to provide Obama with the late surge that he needed to dramatize the closeness of this race. Apparently, Mayor Clay was predicting a win in a newspaper report earlier. I suspect that Mayor McDermott knows a thing or two about the way politics works in this part of the country, and I found him to be a reliable source. Again, this incident and strategy needs to be investigated, and any links to the Chicago machine or Obama need to be thoroughly explored and cleared up.

it's time for Hillary clinton to do the honorable thing and give up the fight because if it continues there wil be all kinds of shady deals made by the clinton's getting the super delegates to go to their side.they will steal the nomination from Obama,Watch what i am saying.The clintons don't deserve to be back in the White House because of all the shady deals and the many wrong doings they have in their past,enough is enough of the Clinton's

I have been too busy grading work with our spring semester just ending to watch a lot of the results - I just signed on and everywhere I am reading that Mayor Clay is a complete joke. Maybe you should limit your public speaking engagements Mayor Clay. Take a lesson from our beloved George W. Bush that when you have limited capabilities it is best not to put it all out there for everyone to laugh over - then again how would I have made it through eight years with George W. Bush without the comic relief of Bush blunders on youtube. Maybe the good folks of Gary, Indiana do the same thing. I will have to youtube for Mayor Clay now - I am sure there will be some postings after what I have read tonight.

what a mess

We haven't heard the last of this guy Rudy Clay.

Let's get over and done with. I followed the primaries from the beginning and am convinced Hilary is not the right presdential candidate.

Something strange about IN primary.
Why did media start reporting the results while the voting were still going on at Lake county, In and NC? Shouldn't they must wait until all polls are closed? Imagine those last minute voters listening the results as they are going to their polling place and Hillary was winning more than 20% in Indiana. Some people may cast their vote just to be on the winning side.

I think the way media played today was totally unfair practice. I didn't see any media reporting NC winning margins until past 8 PM, but I saw all media showed Hillary's winning more than 20% in IN before even the polls are closed. Can you call this a fair game? Shame on the media!

To all the Clinton Fans who are, no doubt, drinking merrily to a recent though narrow win in Indiana… I would like to congratulate you on the riotous victory that Rush Limbaugh gave you tonight. Sen. Clinton should be proud that 8% of her 637000 some supporters in Indiana consider themselves conservative republicans. After all, without their support, which she will surely spin as loyal democratic converts with a vision for America, Clinton couldn't have pulled off this victory. The media and (unfortunately) many in the public may buy into a Clinton victory in Indiana, but don't expect the DNC leaders and party members to gloss over the oh-so-genuine republican cross-overs. Obama has the middle-ground and left-wing appeal, and he deserves the nomination. Obama08.

This guy tried to steal Indiana for Obama. Oh let me add to Jeffrey Toobin and David Gergen saying Wright didn't affect the vote or hurt Obama: it did. You also fail to note early voting in NC started on April 13 well in advance of Wright part 2. OBAMA will not win the general.

Mayor Clay was hemming and hawing and avoiding answering the question as to what was taking so long. But he couldn't cook the books enough!!!!

Lake County is the most corrupt city anywhere. I know from experience.
Even the city of Hammond Mayor question Gary's Mayor Clay about WHY no results until after 1 AM. He had abogus answer and not a very good one at that..I know exactly what they were doing… That freaking place never chances. CORRUPT…..

Imagine what would have happened if it had been a closed primary….I suspect Obama would have won handly. Considering this….it's time for the super delegates to step up, wrap this drama up and get ready for the general election.

Yeah we get it. They are honest as the day is long up there by Chicago, Illinois.

I Just want to know (before I hit the hay) why Anderson Cooper had so many negative nay-sayers on his panel to put down Clinton tonight. Was it another chance for him to brainwash the public into thinking that Sen. Clinton should quit or drop out. I'm not fooled by his baby faced innocence at all. He's a closet Obama guy for sure.

Well, I think she's finally in the rear view mirror.

wow — Gary's mayor clearly didn't understand the question being asked him. But Anderson, Wolf & Co. weren't helping by not breaking it down simply:

1) Were the absentee ballots counted before the votes from today?
2) was there a decision to release the count only AFTER the votes had been counted and AFTER the polls were closed? (and if so, why, since the results would not affect the voters) — if so, why was this decision not explained earlier in the night?

Mayor Clay was being indignant, but it seems like he didn't understand what was being asked of him. to be fair, I doubt he was sitting around watching CNN, so he may not have understood exactly what was happening and why the question was so important. But still — how hard is it to understand that every other county delivered results a little bit at a time and not in large chunks? John King explained it clear enough!

The whole thing seems really fishy and it's a shame that yet another election will have questions about the process.

Old news. Apparently the votes that came in late were from the southern part of lake County, NOT Gary.

Please print this because these are my deepest concerns as a full-blooded lifelong Democrate:

Hillary's unrelenting campaign of latent racism and demonizing Obama - unethical claims of victory and scapegoating of Obama as supressing votes in MI and FL - while pumping up on testosterone to morph into the most macho candidate since Regan is a formula to win her margin over the short term. But, it brings SOOOOOO much baggage it has made her even more unelectable. Hopefully enough superdelegates will fear her truncated shirt-tails and train-wreck-waiting-to-happen in mid-term elections to finally declare for Obama.

IS THIS THE DIFFERENCE IN INDIANA?
It is a disgrace and should be against the law, when Americans vote for a nominee in a primary and the only intent is to throw the primary election so that the candidate that is elected can be beaten by "their real" candidate from the party that they came from.

This skews the polling data (e.g. white blue collar voters, etc.) and gives false impressions. It is done with mal intent (to throw an election), no different than voter fraud and or voter intimidation. The Democratic party Super delegates/un pledged delegates are in need to protect the integrity of the Democratic party and the process.

It is imperative that analysis is conducted on all of the primary season contest, to either determine that indeed the primaries were breached and the results are skewed or it is not enough to worry about.

At the very least, it is something to consider in rule changes for future elections. If indeed they were, then it is the responsibility of the Super delegates to consider the projected outcome minus the skewed data when considering the Democratic Nominee.

This guy was an idiot! Congrats to both Clinton and Obama tonight.

You were clearly implying something fishy in Gary until it became obvious that nothing fishy occured. Pathetic coverage on that cnn. Seriously, it was the beginning of something to sensationalize until the results proved otherwise.

It is time for Hilary to make a graceful exit. She looked and sounded as if she was finally realizing it i over for her.
But PLEASE, stop with the spin kings. They are beginning to sound ridiculous and ,quite frankly, are treating the voters as if we were idiots.

The rubes will not steal the White House this time! How can the Clinton's possibly spin a 1 or 2 point victory? And I wonder what the odds are for a concession speech tomorrow?

Funny how when people thought Hillary was going to lose they blamed a conspiracy. but when it was called for her it's a great win.

Great win? when the state is 78% white! Hillary is a weak candidate.

And Hillary's bid as well.

THE ONLY THING TO SAY IS FOR THE CLINTON TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS.

APPARENTLY THE KITCHEN SINK IS NOT DOING THE JOB, I WOULD SUGGEST THE TOILET BOWL WITH THE PLUNGER TO GET RID OF ALL OF THE CRAP THAT OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAVE BEEN DOING.

TIME TO GO FOR THE JUGULAR AND CLOSE THE DEAL!!!

That's great news for the Gimmick Candidate. Now she can mount her horse so she can ride back into her native town of little Kentucky where her Daddy raised chickens and racing horses before running to Washington DC barefoot to protest equal rights for his unborn daughter then threatened the then president he will have a daughter that will one day take over the world!

Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick Candidate

Good Result for Obama. Clinton should bow out.

So the county went for Obama, that's good enough!! Thank you very much Indiana!!
