Hillary,
Please stop with the selfishness. This is larger than you and Bill. We need Healthcare, jobs and to bring the troops home. You are actually urging your supporters to vote against these things in the fall. Your ego is enormous. You have lost. You cannot win this. You are going deeper and deeper in debt. You know this and so do your supporters. If you truly care about us as you say, you would stop trying to divide us and bring us together so we can achieve the things this country needs. My mother desperately needs healthcare, but thanks to you she may not get it. People are not against you because you are a woman. They are against you because you are you. The thing you do and say. Stop the tantrum and show some nobility for once in your life. It's not cute anymore.

All i can say is that Hillary is doing crazy things where she is going to politically hurt others and herself too.

Obama and his fans have a big surprise coming.

Hillary's supporters will NEVER vote for Obama. Hillary has been robbed the nomination. Every time someone says something about Obama it has to be race related. Look at South Carolina. Obama has played you guys. Every time some questions Obama he get angry and says that's not what he meant. He lied about Wright and hearing the things he said.

Hillary supporters will have the last laugh! YES WE WILL!!

Hillary supporters unite..VOTE McCain or stay home on election day!

Why are some of my fellow Obama's supporters so mean and angry Stop clinging to your computer with antipathy for Hillary.
We have won be nice. Remember she is still pretending to be a Democrat and her husband was a great President.
Obama is not about hate.
—————————————————————————————HRC: I'm not quitting! I am in this for the long haul because the people deserve a choice - they deserve a president who's ready on DAY 1.
OBAMA: Give it a rest Hillary then continue Swearing Ceremony

Obama / Webb 08

THE 'FAT LADY' IS SINGING SO LOUD…….I don't understand why the Clintons don't hear her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there are not enough literacy programs in either state either…..I mean - ask the HRC supporters in that state - "you would want a healthcare plan that also covers 12 million illegal aliens??" - or maybe ask "would you ever support giving illegals drivers licenses like Hillary tried to do in NY State"?? People need to look at the multiple messages Hillary releases - I know that the majority of HRC supporters cannot read - or are in complete denial….I mean….what position are you supporting her on….she has taken virtually all sides..omg…wake up

I like how this article didn't mention Oregon (52 delegates), Montana, or South Dakota.

CNN…never give up on still trying to make this a race.

Alright you "disenfranchised" Florida and Michigan voters, some of you have a handle on what really happened there, but for the others who haven't got a clue: Don't point your fingers at Obama or Dean or the DNC. Point them at your state officials who screwed you over. The rules were clear and they believed that it was more important for you to vote early rather than your vote having any weight. Yeah, it sucks that you had no say in it. Put the blame where it belongs. By the way, republicans had their fingers in this ordeal as well. If the DNC sticks to their guns on this, I bet officials will be more careful next primary season.

By the way, I'm 100% for Obama!

Hillary - Keep on truckin'!

We love you!

GOOOOOO HILLARYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHOW THEM THAT WE WILL NEVER JUMP ONTO THE OBAMA BANDWAGON, EVER

Duh! Is anyone surprised? These are the 2 most inbred states in the country, any non-white person doesn't have a shot in hell!!

Get the votes you can, Obama, you're still the man. And when you win, make sure you keep KY/WV states stocked full of Jim Beam and hog mawls so these country mo-fo's can't keep up with the rest of the country!! ha ha

GO OBAMA '08!!

I have LOST all respect for the Clintons. She is not concerned about the democrats winning in November.She is only concerned about herself.

she's irrelevant. she's a joke and she's broke

Hillary knows this, but her supporters, are obviously ignorant of mathematics and percentages. She can win "all the delegates" with 100 % of the vote in West Virginia, Puerto Rico and Kentucky and Obama can win just 50 % of the vote in Oregon and South Dakaota and Obama still wipes her out of the race. There are not enough primary delegates left for the fat lady to win. The super delegates know she's a loser and they are not going to back or bet on a losing horse. I hear another fat lady singing "Obama 08 and 12."

It dosn't matter how well she or he does in these states. The Dem's will lose West Virginia and Kentucky in the fall. Just goes to show how much behind the times they are. That is very sad!!!!

OBAMA '08

President as independent you will win

Of what significance is any of this anymore?

Okay I hope the polls are correct and not misleading like it was for Indiana. This will give Hillary a big boost but is that enough for her to be happy about. Hillary should be low key and not get to hyped about this campaign until it the pantsuit say it s over.

West Virginia and Kentucky voted Republican in the last two presidential elections…these are obviously small and insignificant red states, so winning them doesn't help at all.

you never know. The times can change dramatically. I hope. This is my hope. Hope for experienced, wise person. For real leader. No hype, no weaknesses, etc
Someone who is strong, smart, experienced, environmentalist too, who will raise this country of the knees - that is where we are right now - on our knees, hurt, in debt, in war, bad economy, not good at all.

So my hope is quite real : someone who knows how to make this country better, not someone who hopes.

Hope is last instance - when everything else fails, then you hope…..but without solid plan, experience and knowledge the hope will remain a hope only.

Can someone mention that if she goes on that Obama is heavily favored in Oregon,Montana and South Dakota.Those three should erase any gain that she makes.She will try to make a big deal about the big wins but like someone said it is like being 3 touchdowns behind and kicking a field goal.

What's crazy is this new theory of Hillary's which I just read. She's saying she's close to Obama in popular vote? LOL. The only reason she is "close", is because cacus states do not provide numbers and Obama's name was not on the ballot in Michigan. You put Obama's name in the ballot in Michigan, and even if you count the states (which she herself said they should not be counted). Obama is clearly still ahead. I used to be a big fan of Clinton's but every day I am becoming less of one. She's definately a politician, and she will stop at nothing, to win. I guess it depends on whom you talk to if they find that trait admirable or not. To claim that she is narrowing the "lead" is clearly misleading. What people in Caucus states do not count? I know she was trying to make that argument before, but only Clinton could try to spin it so that her side is not disenfranchised while she dismisses the number of people in Caucus states who voted for Obama. Who does she think we are?

Whats with Oregon ?

This does not matter. The only thing that matters is Clinton has done a lot damage to the Democratic Parry by her abuse and attack on Obama. She really cares nothing but herself. The selfish woman has been dividing the Party for her own power trip. And she is still continuing doing this.

»»The Great Barack Obama already WON the Nomination!!…What the Hell is Hillary "Annoying" Clinton doing NOW?!??!? DESTROYING/DAMAGING the party and the Democratic Presidential Campaign!??!?!…Goodbye Clinton(s)!!!…GO WAY!!…

With do respect… So?
What does she want?

»»GO WAY Clinton!!YOU already LOST!!

who cares, the nomination is not going to be taken away from Obama because of some sweeping victories. She is not going to win. I have to say if this were John Edwards and Hillary, the superdelegates would have been stepped in and ended the race months ago. No only is Hillary making racist remarks she knows that because she is running against an African-American that she is going to be given every opportunity to slander his name, which she has done aready, and every opportunity to find a way to take it away from him. He has clearly won. She superdelegates that have not yet commited to an candidate should be ashamed of themselves as they allow something like this to go on. This just goes to show how divided were really are.

Carry on, Hillary. You have every right to stay in this race until all primary voting is over — but only then if the race is numerically over. Perhaps by then, Barack Obama will have been sufficiently vetted, which is certainly not the case right now.

So from what Ihave been reading this morning, America has not moved forward like some people are saying. Those poll numbers speak volumes to me. This is still about race when it sould not be. Obama takes a dump just like you and me. He is not different or a lower form of life as the HILLBOTS would have you beleive.

Notice if you can, the real haters of this country….HILLERY's SUPPORTERS. Very mean people and sore losers if I might add!!!!!

»»Go AWAY Hillary "So Fake" Clinton!!…YOU already LOST!!…Obama WON!!…

All you Clinton supporters that will "vote McCain" in November if she does not get the nomination will regret that decision in the future. You think you are in a bind now, Oh just wait until McCain gets hold of this country.

He admitted that he knows nothing about the economy and the troops are in Iraq because of oil and yet you will still vote for him? How foolish is that? I feel sorry for you and your children and your children will despise you for your idiotic descision making.

Who cares!!!! She needs 20 West Virginias to overtake Obama and that ain't gonna happen. This race is over!

She needs to find away to pay off her $20 million in debt. What’s sad about this is that she supposedly had a plan to stop foreclosures. But the truth of the matter is that she’s getting ready to foreclose on her campaign!

Thank God this woman lost!

She also needs most delegates, most states won, and popular vote to win the nomination. She needs all 3.

Duh….. Everyone knows that… Who cares???? It's over!

From the beginning of this campaign, CNN has shown nothing but bias against Hillary Clinton - and with no good reason. Posts commenting on CNN blogs are removed when they are pro Hillary Clinton while more than half of the Democrats in this country voted for her, some of whom are not happy about CNN's apparent bias and censorship of them.

People pay for their cable TV and contribute to CNN in that way and in being consumers making purchases from CNN advertisers. Yet, CNN continues to squelch the voices of some who just want to have our say by removing our posts from the Ticker/blogs.

I think it is pretty disgraceful.

I know the polls say that Senator Clinton has a 30-40 points lead in WV & KY, but wouldn't it be ironic if her lead shrinks drastically without Obama even stepping foot in either state until today?

What would that mean? Just a thought.

»»The great Barack Obama already WON the Democratic nomination. GOODBYE Clinton(s)!!!… Aaaah!…

There's a growing movement for Hillary to run as an Independent. She's got a ton of money that she can't use in the primaries but CAN use in the general election. Go for it Hillary!! You've got my check anytime you want it.

West Virginia……………….Do you have $6.5 million dollars to lend to yourself to continue having the "spotlight?" I doubt it and she sure isn't willing to give it to you directly to pay your mortgage, is she? If she really wanted to make a "federal tax holiday" possible on gasoline prices, why doesn't she offer to pay them herself?

She shows us the worst qualities a Scorpio Woman can have.

And, so what? This thing is over.

This means What?

Uneducated, racist hillbillies… Does that about sum it up?

SO WHAT? HOW ABOUT MT,OG ,SD, ALL OBAMA, DO THE MATH IT IS OVER JUST PICK UP ONE MORE SUPERDELEGATE TODAY FOR OBAMA

GO HILLARY!!!

YES YOU WILL!!!

If we have the primaries for the whole country in one day, this could have been over, and we could have avoided all this grossly waste of money, and we could have a front runner who is the most qualifed and viable candidate in November to lead this country, and who's name is Hillary Clinton. I will never vote for Obama.

Good for her

This means WHAT?

That's nice, I actually lead Hillary in polls in my hometown 98-2.

Good!

Hillary is experienced, for all the people and a fighter.

Hillary 08

If the primary schedule had Oregon, S Dakota and Montana voting first, we would be spared the next 3 weeks of Clinton rhetoric that she can still win as Obama will probably win by similar margins as those in WV, Kentucky and VI. It amazes me how the press can take a NOTHING story like the WV primary and spin it so that the people of this country truly believe there is a story when in fact there isn"t!!!

Hillary carries a commanding lead in these states, so why just dismiss her candidacy? Seabiscuit won in Kentucky 70 years ago. Looks like another longshot is going to finish first. Time to redo the math and finally count the voters of Florida and Michigan, too.

you go girl!

You gals in Virginia and Kentucky need to bring this thing to a close. Hillary needs to be set straight on the "kitchen sink" attack mode on her fellow Democrat. By switching your vote to Barak you will be delivering her and future Democratic candidates a powerful message.

As it stands, she has gone a long way towards damaging the cause of women's rights. You have a chance to help repair the damage, even though you didn't cause it.

I hope that my fellow West Virginians surprise the pundits by turning out for Senator Obama. Yes, the Clintons have been spending a lot of time in WV, but Obama can do more for WV and the country by uniting our country more than Sen. Clinton will be able to do. Four years of the Clintons will bring about more divisiveness and harsh politics.

Adam:
It's no surprise. Obama and his supporters already know we'll lose WV and Kentucky because he's black. There, I said it. Some white people there won't vote for him because he's black. As one voter put it, "I want a full-blooded American." No surprise. Just disappointment. Go ahead and have the last laugh if you want. But I think you'll stop laughing when you realize just how bigoted some parts of this country still are.

Hillary Clinton: Ready on Day 1; Broke on Day 2! Let's move on.

Honestly - who cares? About all we have heard about West Virginia is that they are troubled by the race of a candidate and would never vote for a black man who they think is muslim and not a "full-blooded" American - whatever that means. Kentucky is more progressive but is still challenged by the past. Regretfully - these stances are only hurting the economics of these states as companies do not want to do business in places that cannot move forward. They are hurting themselves and their younger generations. McCain will win both states in the fall so HRC is just racking up numbers that will have no effect on the nomination process and will only further hurt the democrats in the fall.

McCain 08

How can Hillary be the stronger candidate for the general when she can't even beat Obama in the primary?

It's Darwinian people. Stop falling for Clinton's pandering.

Finish with all the states.
Count ALL the votes.
See who wins.

Stop asking Hillary to GIVE the nomination to Obama.

The Dems created this process - so deal with it.

Here's the double standard:
If a politically incorrect, yet factually accurate statement is made by a republican, everyone is outraged and his resignation is demanded.
If Hillary says she can get most of the white, blue collar working people, we are supposed to stop and listen.

I encourage more direct statements like this which we should listen to with a little bit more of a thicker skin, no matter what color it is!

Obama have won 13 state with more than 30 points
6 states with more then 40 points
1 state with more then 50 points
are those states less important then KY and WV?
maybe …

Hillary "08 and '12. Our lack of unity is bred by the Party itself. Women have a voice and it will be heard as McCain is no Bush.

In a few weeks this freak show will be over!

Go Obama!

The math is not there for Hillary - and that includes her broke campaign!

Funny how her supporters are blaming the media, DNC and every thing else —————— when they are not supporting Hillary will any money!

Go Obama - next president!

Why isn't CNN reporting what Obama's lead is in Oregon?

What about the FL and MI voters who didn't vote because they were told it was not going to count!!! Does any one care how they are being disenfranichised. I guess not

Quick! Move the goalposts!
It's not the voter's decision that counts, it's the superdelegates!
Caucuses don't matter, they're too political!
It's not the number of states won, it's WHICH states were won.
Texas is the important primary. No, PA. No, it's West Virginia!

Now we hear from the Clinton camp, it's not the delegate count that matters, it's the popular vote!

HEY, WEST VIRGINIA…go ahead and vote for Hillary. SHE SAID IT ALL JUST A FEW DAYS AGO…
The polls show Baracks support among..
–hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how the, you know, whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me. …

SO…..DOES THAT MEAN, YOU (West Virginia) AREN'T SMART ENOUGH TO SEE SHE IS A MASTER MANIPULATOR!!! or does it mean…

BLACK AMERICANS AREN'T HARD WORKING..or does it mean..

THERE IS NO WAY YOU (West Virginia) WOULD VOTE FOR A BLACK CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT….

EITHER WAY…IT IS NO COMPLIMENT FOR ANYONE!!!

AND YOU CALL BARACK an ELITIST???

It is time for reflection. The Democratic Machine, led by Howard Dean, has bullied Hillary to get out of this race for months. Much of the media has joined in the blood-letting. If the MI and Florida debacles had been sorted out earlier, Hillary would be in a very different place. The so-called darling of the Democrats, Barrack Obama, will get destroyed in the next 2 contests and many Clinton Dems will not vote for him. It may be too late to get a grip on this. Obama is preparing his national strategy and should, in fact, be preparing his surrender.

Hillary '08 or McCain/Jindal '08

Way to go, uneducated white voters! You ARE Hillary's base! Yee-haw! (By the way, I'm white, so don't go screaming racism.) Also, congratulations at proving how disconnected you are from the rest of America! It won't matter in the end, but at least the rest of the country knows where your priorities are.

RE: Adam May 12th, 2008 10:57 am ET
"Hillary has been robbed the nomination."

By robbed, do you mean" gained the advantage in popular vote, delegate count, now superdelegate count, and states won?"
If so, then I agree with you.

Please begin your exit.
As for you strategizing for the VP post, I think Obama is a lot smarter than to have you prowling the corridors of the White House. I won't even address what I think of that husband of yours being within striking distance of the Oval Office. GOD FORBID THIS!

A local sportswriter recently compared Hillary Clinton to Tanya Harding. At first, I got a laugh out of it, but then the analogy of Bill out there swinging a "lead pipe" made me wonder.

PS, Chris, I can not only read but currently hold three university degress with a fourth initiating. Perhaps we are just smarter and understand things at a much higher level above the "psychology" of inspiration and emotion and the Obama supporters on all these blogs on his pay role. That is a fact that this blog fails to acknowledge and usually zaps. Easy to prove.

.Well.Clinton supporters…if you go the the "handy dandy" delegate calculator, so graciously supplied by our friends at CNN, you will find that if Clinton beats Obama 80% to 20% in all the rest of the remaining primaries..SHE WILL STILL BE BEHIND. I believe in the media is called a "WRAP"….TAH DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!
If Clinton supporters…blue collar…a.k.a. biogted rednecks, won't support Obama…I don't want to hear any crying when the Republicans run amuck and more and more of their jobs go overseas; either stop the stupid racism or face the consequences.

Hey Timothy, "selfishness" - how dare you! I'm not surprised a guy would make a statement like this - your sexist. How is she selfish because she'd like to give the last 6 states a chance to vote. You sound unamerican. I will vote Mccain because I'm sick of people like you "railroading" Hillary so Obama can win - he can't win - get it?

Its sad to see so much ignorance. Clinton can not win the nomination even WITH FL & MI counted.

My guess is that she will do enough damage to Sen. Obama, to ensure or at least attempt to ruin his chances ……. so that she can run again in 2012.

I don't like to say mean things, but Hillary & Bill are power-hungry and altogether nasty. BUT they underestimate the American people!

OBAMA/CASEY 08 & 12!

Yes, the same as a tornado, a lot of wind, dust and destruction. In a few minutes, she will be gone and the Dems will have to clean up her mess.

Theresa, Uneducated, racist hillbillies… Does that about sum it up?
I guess you caould say that about the people in NC who voted for Obama?? Watch your words sister!

She needs 70% of the remaining states and some money!

I think she's the best candidate and democrats need to win states like West Virginia but always discount them. I think lots of her supporters will vote for McCain as I will. I just can't support this guy and reading the nasty things written by Obama supporters about Hillary tells me we are very divided and cannot come together.

Forget West Virginia and Kentucky!

We don't need you to win in November!

GoooObama!

Adam

Your comments are pleasing to my ears as a McCain supporter. All HRC supporters should vote for McCain in the fall - we just don't want you in our party. I mean look at what a cancerous group you have become to the DNC. You will kill that party.

So please - vote for McCain - just don't join the GOP. We have enough challenges without you.

McCain 08

Who cares - either Dem would lose these states badly in the general election.

Which is more important Hillary? Winning the states that count or winning the popular vote?

Make up your mind and do the right thing and bow out and accept that fact that even with the advantages of you name and you support among women most people don't like you and you have lost. You can't win every time!

Let's review: twenty million in debt, lost lead in super delegates, fewer pledged delegates , and a spread too large to narrow mathematically. She cannot catch Obama — what is her motivation? Her current arguments are ironic considering her earlier remarks on the significance of Obama's small state wins. Show some integrity and do the right thing,Hillary.

To the Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain, you should realize
that this is politics. No sooner than Hillary gives her concession speech,
she will mend the party by immediately urging her supporters to join
together and support senator Obama. That's just the way it is done.
Hillary will urge her voters not to vote for John McCain as she has done
often during her campaign. So if you are going to vote republican, whats
the point in claiming you are democrats?

so what?she can't catch up.she needs to drop out.she's damaging the party ,with her bigoted remarks.her supporters think she's entitled to the wh,even though she doesn't have enough support.the longer she holds out,the more of her supporters are gonna stay mad,and vote for mccain or not at all.she should be focused on uniting the party,but she's tearing it down,instead.

Her denial of the blatantly obvious facts about this election remind me of someone else who constantly denies the obvious. I don't think we need a repeat of GWB.

I'm still tring to figure out why she's still running instead coming on board with Obama. If it was the other way around Obama would have stopped just like Edwards to help the campaign and bring the democrats together. Hillary has shown me that she rather join MCcain then Obama. She's fighting desperately against Obama even though he's leading. Therefore, if Obama is denied as the nominee I do believe 80% of his supporters will vote for McCain or not vote at all. I made up my mind not to vote at all if this happens because denying Obama as the nominee it will be just like saying our votes for him didn't count.

Operation Chaos!!

If Hillary "were winning" as you say, then why does she have to loan her campaign money? I don't understand. Why don't you Hillary supporters send her money if you want her to win so bad?

I am an Obama supporter and he seems to be doing fine money-wise. I send him $25/month. I TRULY support his campaign.

It appears that Hillary supporters are just doing lip-service to her campaign, but don't want to "come out the wallet" for her…..sad, so sad. Because you may SAY you want her to win, but won't do whatever it takes money-wise.

So ? Obama is focusing on his upcoming Presidential campaign in the fall against grandpa McCain.
While you're there in WV and kentucky, Hillary, please be sure to tell them to vote for Barrack this fall in the campaign. Thanks for campaigning for us !

As an American 60+ White Catholic Female, I am very sad to see someone like HRClinton to take the Party into a division of White vs Black, Blue Collar vs White Collar, and in general trying to divide the American People. Shame on her! She is an insult not only to the female gender but she is not a true American, but caring only for herself, and not the American People.
If she can't financially handle her campaign , how in the heck is she going to handle our taxpayer money in the White House?
She isn't anything more than a school yard bully, liken to those female teenagers beating up of one helpless girl, on You Tube!
If we do not want that kind of politican, old boys school, which has damaged our country and international identity.

Change Now or Forever live in the GUTTER!

It's a shame that this country is still divided by race. The only reason Obama won't win in West Virgina and Kentucky is because those are still heavy racist states southern states.

But don't underestimate God, people!

How are Hillary supporters claiming that this election has been stolen nfrom her? You are absolutely dillusional at this point? She accepted the rules of the contest before it started. Michigan and Florida were not going to count and it was up to she and her campaign to create a winning strategy. Hillary came in with a HUGE advantage and her campaign botched the execution. Don't blame Obama, don't blame the DNC. If she can't win the Democratic contest with a HUGE lead at the onset, what makes you think she can win the general election? Hillary and her supporters need to look in the mirror and understand that this presidential term is too important to lose. Let's unite around our nominee (Obama) and move forward. When it was clear that McCain was going to win the nomination, Republicans voted in droves to support him whether they love him or not. It's smart politics. Let's not be real "donkeys" and do the right thing for the party. VOTE OBAMA unless you want another BUSH term.

She will most likely hold those leads, but, sadly, as the democratic leadership is pushing for an Obama candidacy, it's most likely the super delegates will follow. Once again, the Democratic leadership has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Obama can not win the general election. Any idiot that can read an electoral map can see that. He cannot win Florida or Ohio. Michigan is doubtful. For the red states that had the slightest possibility of voting democrat this election cycle, its not likely that they will choose an untested black man who has accomplished nothing during his entire career in politics over a seasoned somewhat conservative white man who actullay has some accomplishments under his belt. Obama is running on nothing but rhetoric and arrogance.

Hillary is fighting as if she is trying to get her husband a job (Vice President)?????? Husband & Wife team. PLEASE!!!!

Any old administration will only taint what has already been damaged by Bush.

We have all lost the sense of reasoning first then reacting later. If Hillary or McCain is in office, we will still be in a war whether it is an old or new war.

Hillary run for the votes but it does not matter - you are the only one left that doesn't seem to notice it's OVER !

Obama is a cotton candy politician…He is sweetly spun, and looks ideal…however..but so true to all cotton candy…once you take a bite…..THERE IS NOTHING THERE BUT SWEET AIR!

I am a 22 y/o college student, and a strong Hillary Clinton supporter. If Obama becomes our democratic nomination, by a narrow lead, and by dismissing MICHIGAN & FLORIDA… I will VOTE for Mccain in the fall.

Clinton supporters UNITE>>>>Yes, We Will!

HIllary, or dare I say "The Clinton Machine" has demonstrated in the latter stages of this primary season that personal ambitions supercedes not only the good of the Democratic Party, but as well the wishes and interest of the American people at large. I think that Hillary and the Clinton Machine is in such a state of shock as this was suppose to be Hillary's coronation, as a result they're stuck in an elevated state of denial, and still somehow believes that this is a nightmare they'll soon awake from with Hillary winning the nomination. I hate to be the one to wake you from that Dream Hillary, but "it's over"

West Virginny and Kentucky: Obama doesn't want to put you in shackles, take your guns or moonshine. You don't need to be ascared any more. He's one of the good guys that are more representative of you. Go for it!

GO Hillary!!!! People should rethink their decision about Obama being the nominee. How can he win the general election when he has that whole fiasco involviong Rezko, his spiritual mentor- Wright, and the fact that HAMAS (terrorist group) actually is endorsing him. CNN had a segment on it yesterday indicating that this will be a problem for Obama come general election time.

Hillary is the only choice…..the best choice!

Kentucky and West Virginia are racist states, just like Ohio. I don't think anyone ever thought Obama would win there. No one thinks they are important or they wouldn't be so low on the voting calendar.

I like how the Clintonistas think WV and KY are valid NOW, even though the small states Obama won weren't important because they were small. LOL!

Shouldn't the news be that Obama's actually gaining in these polls now that democrats are beginning to understand Clinton's yesterday's story?

PLEASE tell me these are the last 2 states she'll get so that she will DROP OUT.

»»Hillary "So Fake!So Pathetic!" Clinton already LOST the democratic nomination. GOODBYE!!… Go AWAY!… GO Obama.

Run Hillary run! She has consistently said that she will run in each and every state until the primary is over and that is just what she is doing. She is no quitter!

Hillary has not torn Obama down nor done anything other than point out her far superior qualifications.

Voting for Obama is like voting for Jimmy Carter in 1976. A backlash .

A lot of Democrats in WV, KY, and around the country like Hillary a lot. Her own party members have stabbed her in the back, and the party elite and much of the African American community have denigrated her. I sure woudn't want you Obama supporters as friends. You're one of the main reasons I won't vote Obama.
Nobama

What John Edwards has said is that there's not much chance of Hillary winning, but he also thinks Obama is not worthy of his sponsorship. Too bad, John Edwards, you are a member of the destroying-itself democrat party.

The Clinton GAME IS OVER!!!!!!!!!

Hillary you made the deal and agreed with the party rules of excluding Michigan and Florida. Now it is not to your benefit, you want to disagree. Hillary you need to man up!!!! Keep your word. Will you change your word on me later?

whether ur for obama or clinton u must vote democrat in the fall because either one of these two r a lot better than mccain. we have to forget about our anger if the one we want does not bcos we desperately need a democrat in the white house. mccain is with bush on iraq and his tax cuts. i'm for obama but if hillary by some miracle is the nominee i'll vote for her mostly to make sure a democrat is in the white house, not bcos i like her. it will be a vote against mccain.

Oh atlast she understands that winning smaller states is important,previousily he argument has been that she wins big states.so whats up with West Virginia? is it as big as PA?Too late, Obama understood that every state is as important as the other long before you ,give it up

I'm a 40 year old white male in Kentucky. I live in a county where the Democratic Headquarters had a "Hillary" sign in the window for many, many months until last week's primaries where Obama regained momentum. While such is not indicative of an overall change in support from my fellow Kentuckians, it was surely refreshing to believe someone at the HQ acually had the nerve to replace the dynastic presumption with hope for change. Likewise, while there are not enough of us to make a difference in the primary next week, please know that some of us in Kentucky embrace Senator Obama and his courage to stand up for commitment, change, and politics unusual in Washington. Got hope? Yes! But it seems like Kentucky is once again being painted as some misanthropic, Appalachian caricature of days long past. We have hope, too, only we hope that it is not Hillary that gets the Democratic nomination.

Lets stop this SNIPER FIRE TALK………..and lets begin to talk the TRUTH!

Lets face it, Hillary is way down in the only stat that counts. The DELEGATE COUNT. Hillary had to win the last 3 or 4 big primaries by HUGE margins to have hoped to get back into it. So NO MATTER how well Hillary does with the remaining few smaller primaries Hillary will still be remaining behind Obama in the DELEGATE COUNT.

So if Hillary doesn’t like the rules at this late stage of this contest its just too bad. She can try to help change the rules for the 2012 primaries.

Also, until you change the rules so that it fits Hillary’s distortions of what constitutes a win, the MEDIA should stick with the rules and say she CANNOT WIN. Actually, for the most part it has been stated since last Tuesday.

Vote Obama ‘08

Maybe some of these people in WV are lying to the pollsters.
They might be afraid to have an Obama sticker or yard sign for fear some of their bigoted neighbors may harm them.
Maybe the only safe place in WV to support Obama is
in the privacy of the voting booth !

OBAMA 08 !

It kind of destroys her argument that she can win these states that Barack can't when polls show her losing them to McCain.

Ahh Kentucky, the great state of coal, moonshine and another disturbed First Lady who used two-last names first (Mary Todd-Lincoln). Wouldn't be surprised if HRC came out with her grandfather's moonshine recipe and her over/under shot gun and a swell recipe for hog jowels and fat backs. West Virginia is the inbred cousin of Western PA. When those poor coal miners got hurt there they took them to Pittsburgh-remember? She'll be having a fish fry at the Moose Lodge tonigh I bet. She could raise money with a ham and turkey party at the VFD I bet too-Hosted by the decendents of the Hatfields/McCoys who she spent her falls with mashing apples for cider. PSYCHO watch old Hillary GO-PSYCHO and crazy is her game-o

She can have these bama states, her campaign is over and all that is needed for her is to stop the negative attacks on the soon to be presidential nominee Barack Obama and gracefully bow out and go home.

I really do not understand how Democrats - particularly Democratic women - could possibly vote for McCain instead of Obama! You guys DO realize that there are at least three Supreme Court justices who have kept Roe v Wade from being overturned and who are over 80. That means - given his public position on the issue - that McCain will will likely need to fill at least two of those positions in the next four years. Make no mistake, he will surely nominate justices whose primary qualification would be their willingness to take away a woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. A vote for McCain is a vote for the return to back-alley abortions. Do you guys REALLY want that to happen? Would your anger if Hillary doesn't get the nomination really be worth losing that right?

It`s so funny:

Clinton supporters: Aaaaa, CNN is proObama and bias against Hillary Clinton.

Obama supporters: Aaaaa, CNN is proClinton and bias against Barack Obama.

It`s remine me kids in preschool!

An Old White Hard-Working Women for OBAMA 08

Obama- Why are you too scared to campaign in West Virginia and Kentucky? Too scared to debate Hillary one on one?

Just like you can't pick and choose when to debate, you can't pick and choose which states to count in the GE….

Florida and Michigan anyone?

It's unfortunate that Hillary supporters are not seeing the bigger picture here and are missing the point of the campaigns. We need to beat John McCain and the only way we are going to do that is come together.

Instead they prefer to stay divided. It's just sad.

The remaining Hillary supporters are a bunch of nuts and frustrated women suffering hot flashes. Sure they can vote and so can KKK members, but they are still not playing with a full deck.

Anyone but Obama in 08!!!
This Democrat will LAUGH when he loses the general election. He has basically gotten the nomination because of all his racist supporters who want to feel good about their choice. And don't call ME racist…90% of the black vote has gone to Obama so I would say the shoe is on the other foot for not supporting a white person. Once again, the Dems find a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

any moron who feeds into voting for McCain because they are miffed that their choice isn't the nominee really needs to do some soul searching. elect McCain and you can guarantee the final nail in our country's coffin. dividing the democratic party is exactly what these idiots want us to do. pathetic.

This is surely the question that will be asked over and over again during the next two weeks: If the Democrats have chosen Obama over Clinton, then why can't he put her away? Why is she going to keep on winning states this week and next?

The fact is that this race is not over. It's still going strong. We have two great candidates and people seem to be divided almost evenly over which one of them is better. That's okay. I don't think this is bad for the party and I don't think Hillary is damaging anything by continuing her fight.

Think of this in terms of sports. No sports fan would ask his team or even the other team to walk out of the staidum or arena when it is close late in the game. The seats stay filled and it goes to the buzzer. We've got a nail-biter.

Cnn should be ASHAMED of themselves! The are anything BUT a neutral news reporting agency. It is disgusting how they pick smiling Obama pictures and chose to put the most unflatering scowling photos of Clinton. Even on the talk show, with the so-called contributors, they always have more Obama supporters than anyone else. Stop pretending to be fair and neutral….it is very obvious you are not. This is not "reporting" the news it is trying to shape it. Shame.

Would you overwhelming majorities of voters in KY and WV stop being so selfish and voting for Hillary when the media has declared the race over???

the democrats should be very careful! Republicans are now saying Obama is easy to beat come fall, this is a strategy to get clinton whom i know is easy to beat cos they know her weak points. she should drop out now!!!

I think the Billarys are in for a suprise in WV and KY….they may win by a MUCH smaller margin than the polls are showing….as white and as racist as people may say those states are, I believe they are not different from the white people in say Idaho, Iowa or Illinois…they have the ability to see through the Billary bs. Sen. Obama is even doing them a big favor by not campaigning there until today when he will make appearances…he is not conceding the states, he is just being decent and honorable by giving Billary the opp. to have a big win and go out on a high note….something I know they would not have done for him. So yeah, bottom line, they will win WV and KY, but not in the huge margins that are being predicted….Sen. Obama will net 11 delegates from WV and 30 from KY!

I loved that soft-spoken intelligent reporter from WV who did not waver when the CNN reporter tried to bully him into saying the BO endorsers would make a difference to the electorate. When will CNN realize that some of us know a leader when we see one and do not follow endorsers like sheep? Hillary is that leader and a fighter for all Americans!

We do NOT want someone who voted "MAYBE" 132 times as a state senator. We do not want obama. Stand tall Americans, a vote for a Fighter who WILL make a difference, not a sweet talking, spineless obama. He stood by an ANTI-AMERICAN WRIGHT FOR 20 YEARS!
NO, OBAMA- NOT this time….GROW UP DREAMWEAVER!

West Virgina Vote 4 Clinton!

Clinton supporters WILL vote MCCAIN in the fall if NObama still this nomiation.

YES WE WILL!

CLINTON/EDWARDS 08

What's to admire about this? She's trying to play spoiler to run in 4 years. I don't admire that? She's trying to make this a black vs. white thing! That's clinton for you. I love her other comment about "They don't want me in this because I'm a women", that's heplful to the Democratic Party HUH!
You have to admit it, sour grapes has moved in and no good can come from this! If Obama had made the "whites won't vote for him" or the"They don't want me in this because I'm a women" comments, the media and clinton would have been all over him, every min. of the day! She's a joke and shouldn't even be a Senator!

It's one thing to vote for hillary or obama. But it is one thing to vote for a republican or refuse to vote if hillary does not make. You are just sticking your foot in your own mouth. When mccain gets in and drafts us to fight a BS war. Im sure we will be happy then.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS RIGHT??!?!?

From the beginning I have vowed to vote democrat no matter who won the nomination. I stand by that.

Clinton & Obama are almost identical in their platforms. McCain's plans are nuts.

McCain is for continuing the war/occupation - Clinton/Obama for ending the war…McCain is for continuing tax breaks to corporations & CEO's - Clinton/Obama for ending those privledges…McCain is against universal health care - Clinton/Obama for it.

The differences are stark. You can't honestly vote McCain if you really look at what he stands for. It is ANTI-HILLARY to vote McCain.

CNN, you guys are too much, who cares how this tooth-less Cavemen in both West Virginia and Kentucky vote, the game is long been over. Let’s be honest this Uneducated inbreed Red-Necks will never vote for an African American anyway no matter what! It a shame but that’s the society we live in.
Congratulation Obama, we are almost home!

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

To all those Hillary supporters who claim you'll never vote for Obama:

The policy differences between the two are minor. The differences between either Clinton or Obama and McCain are huge. Therefore it makes absolutely no sense for you to vote for McCain over Obama - unless all you care about is a summer gas tax holiday, or unless you are all petulant, spiteful children. So get a grip and vote for Obama this November.

If by some miracle Hillary gets the nomination instead of Obama, I would vote for her despite her dishonesty, race-baiting, and utter lack of integrity - because despite all that she's still better than McCain.

Go Hillary!!

Who cares if Obama and the DNC are hurt!!

Run as an Independent Hillary!!

Adam,

I hope for all our sakes you are wrong. If McCain wins I hope you lose your job and your insurance. Then you'll see why you should not of acted like a child and voted democrate.

Vote McCain if you want the US dollar to worth $ 0.30 by 2012.

I have a hard time trying to figure out what is going on with CNN. I wanted to add a comment on the Edwards story and with only 88 comments and up for about one hour, they closed. Edwards was my first choice, but whem Obama and him played tag team to bash Hillary Clinton in the debates, he lost me! The reason he did not endorse Obama in N.C. is very simple, he would not have moved the white vote, and his endorsement would have been wothless. If he Endorsed Clinton nothing would have changed, because Obama"s big victory came from 91% of the Black vote, with Clinton only getting 6% of the remaining number. One out of every three voters in the Democratic primary voted for Obama. That is why he could not win Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, there was not enough of a pool of AA voters. If he is the nominee he is a sure loser in the fall. That is also why he is going to lose West Virginia and Kentucky.

Hillary can beat McCain, Obama can not. This is a fact!

If D party want to take over WH, Hillary is the only one.

McCain will beat Obama easily.

Since the superdelegates came out early in the primary races and made their alliances known way in advance of some big primaries that could have affected the results , then Hillary Clinton has every right to continue her campaign to keep the options open to the rest of the voting public.

Its the superdelegates, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, a presumtuous Barack Hussein Obama and a vicious attacking media which targeted Hillary from the onset that harmed the Democratic Party more than Hillary Clinton can ever do.

Now , Edwards (also a superdelegate) is coming out in public telling Hillary Clinton not to harm the party. Man, this incompetency in the Democratic Party seems to have no end. Edwards, first of all shouldn't be opening his trap and second he's another over zealous politician who just can't wait to stick his lousy two cents in because he's been dying for some spotlight. Once again you some bumbling Democratic party member saying and doing something stupid and useless just to get their 15 minutes of fame. One more thing. Its really terrible that a superdelegate , Donna Brazile, was on CNN everynight promoting Barack Hussein Obama. She should be ashamed of your actions and the DNC should be reigning these superdelegates in, though its too late now, from opening their traps and spewing all sorts of their own personal views to affect the outcome of the election. Let the people speak first.

Obama cannot win the General Election because he does not have the support of three groups of people. They will vote of McCain rather than him - there are too many questions unanswered w/Obama. He called himself Barry until he got into Politics- I wonder why? Not a critical point, however one wonders why? Many more critical points that we cannot figure out.
Joan B
Chicago, Il

I used to be republican before I had children. Now I realize that I've got to try to make this country a better place for them and not just use this planet for MY benefit. This means putting more emphasis on education (no child left behind is a farce), environmental and fiscal responsibility, to mention just a scant few. I don't see McCain or Hillary fitting any of these requirements as well as Obama. He's got my support 100%, as with my $250 donation to his campaign. His "inexperience" is refreshing. He might not be so far out of touch with us like the other "seasoned veterans". Term limits are desperately needed to prevent the polluting of the minds who are leading this country.

I think it's disgusting how Hillary Clinton has willed alot of her supporters to blindly follow her without thinking of the reprecussions of ANOTHER Rebuplican term (ie McCain). Don't kid yourself - the policies that John McCain would impose are those EXACTLY like those of George W. Bush! So if you've enjoyed seeing your country go from super powerhouse to bottom feeder, then yeah! Go ahead and throw away your vote - it's in your constitution!

And the comments that Bill Clinton said over the weekend just PROVE once again that the Clintons are NOT about this country, and NOT about this Democratic party! They care about one sole thing - and that's the nomination. I think they are using her situation as being the underdog by rallying her support BUT AT A COST TO OBAMA. Using separitist language like "only hard working, white Americans" and "the rest of the country makes fun of me for campaigning here".

Now you tell me - when have you EVER heard anything positive or about coming together from the Clinton party? Every word the spew is divisive and about separating the party between her supporters and the rest. And all for the name of building up their base, and then coming to the DNC and saying "Look, if we go…our supporters go. So put me on the ticket or else."

THIS WOMAN IS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL THE PARTY INTO GIVING HER THE VP NOMINATION.

And anyone to blind or stupid to see that…well, I feel sorry for you.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have no morals. And yes, they are absolutely losing their bearings!

Fred, you are boring. Do you have nothing else to doo?

UNITE

For literally months Obama's campaign and his nasty supporters on this blog have been calling for super delegates to commit. Why? Because they're affraid that if the primaries play out their candidate won't have the popular vote even though he'll be ahead in terms of pledged delegates.

So what are super delegates to do at that point? Do they stick with Obama and give him the nomination or do they jump ranks and go with the candidate that more people actually voted for? We've only got three weeks left and six contests. Clinton is favored in three and Obama is favored in three. Let's see where the popular vote stands at the end of the day.

I find it totally laughable that a party that to this day is upset that Gore was cheated of the White House because he won the popular votes but came up short in terms of Electoral College votes is potentially about to deny the candidate with the popular vote their own nomination. What hypocrites!

Also, everyone talks about the "math" being against Clinton but the "math" is against Obama too because neither will get the number of pledged delegates needed to be the nominee. The super delegates will decide and they can float from side to side 100 times over between now and the convention. So, please tell me how the "math" is only against Clinton?

The Clintons have a history of broken promises. Last time they started their reign with a ten day corination. One of the most expensive parties of all times. I believe they want a Chelsea wedding to be at the taxpayers expense. I have no faith that they will keep any campaign promises.

WV AND KY PEOPLE,

THIS IS NOT OVER

WE NEED YOU TO ACTUALLY GET UP GET OUT

AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan Missouri, what experience does Hillary actually have? Obama served in the Illinois state senate before being elected to the US Senate. Prior to becoming a US Senator Hillary was first lady. First Lady doesn't equate experience.

People stop listening to the rhetoric and do your OWN research. Think for yourselves. Please, for once, think for yourselves!

To demonstrate his arrogance, it is amazing to me that NObama pretty muche blew off West Virginia & Kentucky; with his elitist attituted!

It's almost as if to say, "I have pretty much wrapped up this deal, so screw everyone else…" just one more reason he is NOT the right candidate for the job!

I admire my candidate for allowing ALL voters to have a chance to vote for their candidate, a true "fighter."

Go Hillary!!

Go McCain!!

Wake up America!!!! We are in a crisis and Hillary has the experience to push our economy back on track! Go Hillary Go!

The truth shall prevail. I will pray for your winning Hillary!
HILLARY CLINTON THE NEW PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We believe in you President Hillary Clinton!

Democrates remember — TOGETHER we stand; divided we fall! Come what may - we MUST unite if we want a better life for ourselves, our children, our grandchildren. I'm hoping the present administration hasn't done so much damage that this nation can't be repaired.

As a Scorpio woman myself, Hillary shows us the best qualites of the Scorpio. Scorpios are fighters and they don't give up just because the odds have them down. Is this the message Obama wants his daughters to take away from this race? If you are a woman up against a man, and the odds have you down, just give up and throw in the towel. I believe Clinton supporters will have the last laugh. I would rather have someone in the white house that knows how to make money than someone who doesn't. Why is it a crime to have wealth or know how to market yourself to make money? Obama has done nothing for America but given great speeches and the Democratic party is the one that is going to suffer as a result.

I admire people that support their chosen candidate so strongly but there come a time when everyone that wants change needs to make a choice based on the facts and think of the greater good or America.

If McCain we to win America would collapse faster than the Roman Empire.

hillary, stay in this race, and then run as an independent. the dnc is a disgrace under the leadership of howared dean, and nancy pelosi. take your loyalist and run as an independent. you will win. let's see if obama's college, "educated", and african american support is enough to win the white house. (doubtful)you owe the democratic party nadda. hillary clinton independent candidate!

For argument's sake, at this point, if you do the REAL math and give HRC 100% of the votes for W.Virginia and 100% for Kentucky as well as %70 for all remaining states - not counting any additional superdelegates for either side….Barack Obama STILL breaks the 2,025 margin leaving her far behind. Those are the facts…..don't believe the hype.

08BAMA

Obama never clinton or maccain.like me million democrat support hillary and only hillary.

Like a bunch of baby brats. My pawr hillawy isnt winning, wahhh. Lets wuin things fawr everywone else.

I believe the WV and KY contests will actually be good for the Democrats. Hillary can win both without the need to be negative. They precede OR (sort of, if you consider when polls close), SD, MT, which Sen. Obama should win easily. Clinton gets to see the numbers after big wins and realize she has lost. Meanwhile, the voter rolls swell with new democrats wanting to get involved and Obama wins the final contests, leaving the primary season with the wind at his back. This is a win-win situation for the democrats.

Obama '08

So what? She has already lost and every (constantly changing) goal she has set has been forced to morph into a new one. The woman has no shame and has all the grace of Attila the Hun.

Folks,

You should stop wasting your time writing to people of WV they don't have the internet in the Hillbilly capital of the US. They do make some good shine though. They should let Hillary take a swig of that. That might wake her up.

Hillary supporters unite and write her name on your ballot in November. We can do it….Yes we can.. If you can't stand Obama and his nasty supporters. Write her in, FDR did it and he wasn't even running…

If the Clintons were to convince the DNC to give her the nomination, I believe Obama should run on the Independent ticket. That would burn both McCain and Clinton in the November election.

OK,

WHY DOES HILLARY HAVE SUCH A COMMANDING LEAD IN THESE STATES?

EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIA REPORTS HOURLY ON HER DEMISE?

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WANT HILLARY CLINTON! BECAUSE SHE IS SMART AND CAN STEP RIGHT IN AND START IMPROVING OUR ECONOMY ETC……

HILLARY HAS PROVEN THAT SHE IS TOUGH AND CAN STAY THE COURSE!!!!!

WE NEED A LEADER! AND THAT IS WHAT I SEE IN HILLARY!!!!!!

HOW WOULD OBAMA EXPECT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER IF HE CANNOT WIN THESE LARGE STATES?

ALSO, WHY WOULD THE SUPER DELEGATES WANT TO NOMINATE SOMEONE WHO HAS PROVEN HE CANNOT WIN?

I SAY GO HILLARY I AM CONTRIBUTING AGAIN!!!!!!

As far as I'm concerned, and as a hard-working white American male, HRC's potential wins in West Virginia and Kentucky come a day late and a dollar short. Mysteriously enough, I can't for the life of me understand why the people of these two states would willfully vote for a person who: (1) supported the entire NAFTA issue along with her President husband–which subsequently shipped the majority of their jobs overseas; (2) supported the war in Iraq, which has caused our economy to deteriorate to the present extent we see today–everything has become more expensive only because our nations finances are being spent in Iraq on people who could care less; and (3) blatantly lied about arriving in Bosnia under "Sniper-fire." I mean, if you lie to me before you obtain Presidential office, why should I believe that you won't continue once you're in office.

Go away HRC and let our Democratic Party heal in peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 2008

Hillary's racist remarks certainly seem to appeal overwhelmingly to West Virginia voters. Seems like they and Hillary are really BITTER. Now we know why they are each trailing in the nation.

Mike

this is great tell someone that cares. how come is her campain so far in debt? with all of these supports???????????????

For the record:

We DON'T want Hillary on Obama's ticket. She brings too much baggage and we have enough on our plate without worrying about what Hillary brings to the table, which in my opinion are all negatives.

So give her a courtesy interview and then ignore her, she's bad news. Of course she's going to bug the hell out of Obama, but he's got to be strong.

Oh, by the way, we don't want Rendell either. He was the first to say proudly that whites would never vote for Barack. As if that's something to be proud of—give both of them the boot.

Hllary wil win the next two races by 75/25 and the third one 65/35. The rest of them will be 55/45 Hlilary. The people "get it" now. Michigan and Florida must be resolved - the fact they have had three months (and 8 months before election) and done nothing smacks of imcompetence in the Decmocratic Party. If you leave the two States out the Dem Party will pay the price in November.

I agree with your poster that CNN has been biased against Hillary.

GOOD FOR YOU HILLARY!!!!!!!!

WE ARE BEHIND YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!

LOL.

The guy in the picture behind Hillary is probably talking on the phone, but he looks like he's holding his nose.

If not Hillary, then McCain.

Hillary's been screwed, the party's been screwed and I'm voting for McCain.

Deal with it.

Ohh Yeah…well Obama just took the lead in superdelegates today. How do you take the nomination away from a person who leads in the popular vote, most states won, pledged delegates and superdelegates? If her last name was not Clinton…sh
