A big Clinton win in West Virginia would not mean anything.

By the way, the race is over, Obama already won. It is time for the Clintons to leave.

UNLESS they are Ted Kennedy and other elite superdelegates... then they are cool because their votes give Obama the nomination.

Without the votes of Washington Insiders Obama can not win the nomination.

Ponder that.

Obama is trying his best to allow Hillary to go out on a high note. Rather than trying to take WV away he will let Hillary win and hopefully she will feel like she's leaving on a high note.

Not sure why many of you are not aware of this since it was the MEDIA who mentioned this 3 days ago..... but a story is a story right?

With that said, it is time that we start behaving as USAmericans and not as White, Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Catholic, male, female, blue-collar, white-collar, college-educated, etc. individuals. In case you haven't been paying attention, foreclosures are sweeping the nation and have affected EVERY demographic CNN tracks (to our disadvantage); our infrastructure is crumbling; the price for necessities such as food and fuel are skyrocketing; we are fighting wars on multiple fronts and our military is stretched thin; later this year Medicare will begin paying out more than it takes in (the same is projected to happen to Soc Sec. in 2017). With all of this going on, watching many of you act like high school kids up for the prom queen/king ("I won't vote for her/him because his supporters insulted my candidate...") would be hilarious if it weren't so scary. Wise up people: vote for a candidate because you believe in their policies and that they will improve upon the current conditions. Regardless of who loses, all three candidates are wealthy and elite and you'll never see them at your local bowling alley, bar, shooting range or gas station.

It's time that we remember, for which it stands, the 'Unite' in the United States of America. "United we stand, divided..."; I'm sure you can finish that.

I will be VERY HAPPY to see the day our News Media MATURES and realizes by devoting some much time ( an OFTEN EXAGGERATING what is actually happening) to this they do the American public a disservice. We hear very little in regards to the extremely high drop out rate of Americas High School Students and other really important issues.

Statements like the above (from an Obama supporter) are incredible in their arrogance, naivete, and stupidity. I've tended to vote Republican all these years, but I have to tell you that while I find some of what Obama says inspiring, I DO have some reasons other than racism that would keep me from voting for him, namely base of experience.

An issue that has become more and more obvious to me (and others) is the incredible arrogance of Obama supporters, and many Democrats in general. He IS NOT a savior, nor omnipotent, or anything else. He's a candidate. I think many of you Democrats have bottled up your angst for so long that you're allowing it to whip you into a frenzy. Know this: The world is complicated, and your simplistic views of how things will change are most likely NOT going to happen. It's NOT because Republicans are evil nor is George Bush the anti-christ. It's because the world is complicated and the U.S. is filled with people that think only of themselves (liberals are much more this way than conservatives, by the way). Get over yourselves, and realize that pretty much everybody is as smart as you...maybe more so.

IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CNN TO PLAY THE ROCKY THEME FOR HRC AND SAY THAT SHE IS THE COMEBACK KID AND OBAMA IS IN TROUBLE AND THE RATINGS WILL STAY UP FOR ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.

RATHER – WHAT CNN SHOULD BE SAYING IS THAT HRC IS PLAYING THE RACE CARD AND IS TEARING THE DNC APART. SHE HAS BECOME A VILE AND DISGUSTING CHARACTER.

WEST VIRGINIA – BEAUTIFUL PLACE BUT YOUR OWN SAKE – CATCH UP!

MC CAIN 08

It's time for all Clinon supporters to join the Obama movement and ready for the November fight against McBush.

Just because the youth are so zoned out by someone they think is a rock star and make more noise and chant and wave the DNC is drooling, yes drooling thinking they will STAY in the party. They won't. They'll be gone maybe even by November.

There are emails circulating about starting a new branch of the Democrat Party and proposing Hillary as the candidate. We don't want that. We want our branch of the Democratic Party that is splitting to go to McCain and knock the socks off the weak kneed weak butt obama so the drooling members of congress will see the real truth. WE DONT' WANT OBAMA AND WE WON'T GET HIM.

It means "ANYone BUT Clinton" is okay to say- even if you get ugly, nasty and vulgar about it.

But "ANYone BUT Obama" is NOT okay to say. It is apparently RACIST. Even if you simply exercise your right to vote and say it.

I think they are worried about running against Obama.
This tells me that Obama is a more viable nominee than Hillary is.

please report on paul vs. clinton

All the states decide the President Hillary, even the ones that aren't 100% "white hard working Americans". You know the majority of the states, full of white, black, yellow, brown, and red And guess what we all get to vote, even those who aren't white are hard working and we ALL are important and decide who's President.

But, I remain deeply disappointed in any state that would vote overwhelmy to send any Clinton back to the White House.

In particular, the Clintons have–
1. been impeached
2. lied consistently to the people of this nation
3. deep dark blood in their hands.

I do not hate the Clintons' I just do not see how they could be "moral leaders" of a nation like this one. God Bless West Virginians; I still love the state that raised me!

Well, in General election, WV only contributes 4 electoral college votes; Obama can let McCain have them and he can easily make up for it else where.

We all know that, not everyone will vote for Obama; Even if Jesus comes today, not everyone will accept him; so stop CNN should stop thinking that it will be a big deal if WV did not vote for Obama.

In all these analysis, you guys forget that 90% AA that are not voting for Hillary or do you think if the nomination is stolen from Obama; the AA will kick it aside and vote for Hillary?

The last time I checked, the most reliable base of the democrats is the AA and if they refuse to vote for Hillary come November because of a perceived injustice, I do not see how she will get the nomination even with her blue collar advantage.

The truth is Obama & Clinton have divided the democrate base and each have a piece, with the other's cooperation and help, one of them is doom to fail come November. The other factor that is not being considered is Obama's attraction of new voters, it is very possible that new voters and huge voters turn-out might be the ones that will tilt the balance in this year's elections.

But "ANYone BUT Obama" is NOT okay to say. It is apparently RACIST. Even if you simply exercise your right to vote and say it.

Clinton never wavers-he has to fight.

My concern is that there are too powerful of forces in the environment of today's politics such as the industrial lobbying machine and the religious extremists whose selfish issues drive their politics despite the 'burning of Rome' on all of the other more important issues, that will block any real positive change on the big issues. We are likely expecting too much from Barack and his ability to be all that we want him to be. In my 60 years, I have never felt before as I do today that our way of life is in such jeopardy. Bush has driven the US down the path of economic, political, environmental and moral destruction as never before, and his departure from power is overdue and cannot happen soon enough. January seems so far away. We have wasted 8 years in solving the core, fundamental problems with our economy, the environment, society and the world, and we desparately need change.

I remain optimistic (despite the pessimistic tone of my comments) that we will elect new leaders who will have the strength of conviction, the fortitude and the intelligence to lead us out of this wilderness.

It's funny (but so typical) to see all the Obamabots insulting WV residents with their smug superior comments.

It's this attitude that will cost Obama millions of votes in the general election.

Good job guys.

This election is about internal Demcratic party politics. and get back at Bill ploy.

The november election is about poor and rich, white and black, old and young. All gourp are only worry about what is for them.

Obama can not do it.bring all of us together.. ..As a 30 yr democratic..I will vote for Mc Cain . My views are shared by the millions.

Second, I like the question of having a poll to see who would win the Presidential race if all 3 of these candidates were running..................THAT would be interesting – If it's Obama v.s. McCain, it's another lesser of two evils vote and that easily goes to McCain.

Leave the Democratic Party to Dean, Kennedy, Kerry and the MOST LIBERAL Senator to loose in November!!!!

I'm there!!!! Hillary '08

Only low income hardworking black people who could not go to college should count.

I can't think of anything more ridiculous than these comments I read here and elsewhere. If it didn't have consequenses that directly impacted the rest of the world I would say you get what you deserve. But there is nothing rational about voting against your interests just because your angry your candidate didn't win the nomination.

Go Obama '08

By the way, where in the world is Senator Robert Byrd? I thought he was against the war and voted against it. Why hasn't he stepped forward for Obama? That just tells you a little about the weird attitude of West Virginians.

I, like millions of democrats, will be forced to vote for McCain as independents in the Fall if he goes forward. We will without question make sure that he does not make it to the presidency. These are not bitter comments of the moment that will wash away over time. These are very real facts folks.

"JC May 10th, 2008 11:40 am ET

WV will never vote for a black man. That's the bottom line. Older voters are racist and everyone knows it. That's why Hillary takes them."

That is a dangerous statement.
Not all older voters are racists.
Several seniors on CNN blog page are far from it.
Let's not give more fuel to the fire.

"I'm writing here because CNN closed their forum on a previous article related to West Virginia and the upcoming primary but I find it so offensive that because Hillary Clinton is up considerably in West Virginia that it means we (West Virginians) are obviously inbreed, redneck, and racist."

Todd, appreciate your opinion, and you may be correct to some extent. Howevere, the "WHITE" "BLACK"

If everyone who doesn't vote for Obama is called a racist... what kind of president will he make?

Everytime someone disagrees with him or criticizes him, that person will be called a racist.

That is an unnecessary distraction at this time of crisis.

We know we can call Hillary anything we want and even be ugly and vulgar about it and she still keeps on going. She is not sidetracked and offended whenever people voice a disagreement with her. That is a true leader.

Obama thinks he is perfect and demands that everyone must agree .
Clinton realizes she isn't perfect and goes on doing the best she can for ALL Americans.

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

Only Hillary haters are allowed to post here.

SHE NEEDS TO STEP ASIDE, UNIFY THE PARTY , AND STOP TRYING TO TEAR IT APART.

IF SHE'S THINKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF RUN IN 2012- SHE MIGHT BE VERY WELL RUINING THOSE CHANCES AS WELL!

STEP ASIDE GRACEFULLY SEEMS TO BE IN HILLARY CLINTONS BEST OPTION RIGHT NOW.

AFTER ALL SHE HAS A RE-ELECTION BID COMING UP FOR HER N.Y. SENATE SEAT, AND NEW YORKERS WONT FORGEWT HOW SHE WAS SO DIVISIVE WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
