CNN

Hillary is ready now she really is getting ready now she has experience in lying and to top it off experience at getting her campaign into debt.

Its over Hillary and her core supporters wake up the lady is gone its over

Obama is the persumptive nominee now as Tim Russert put it so well last Tuesday night.

Thank you "Obama" supporters for helping me make up my mind – I had thought if Hillary did not win – I would still vote democrat – even though I do not believe in Obama. BUT you Obama supporters are hateful and full of evil that I will vote for McCain before OBAMA!! I will write in Hillary's name if she is not on the ticket!!!!

Go Hillary – do not give up – we are behind you and remember Rev. Wright is behind OBAMA!!!! literally....

I think at this point Ray Charles could see this is over for Hillary

I wonder about the state of our education system in the US – the woman with 3 degrees – says she understands things at a higher level – i.e. Hillarys "experience" – the one where she didn't attend one cabinet meeting...or when her husband was governor ...and she was a partner in the Rose Law Firm...and on the board of Directors for Walmart....(this political experience??) – or how about multiple positions on the same issue....I guess it takes a superior intellect to see what Hillary "really meant" – I personally believe you are all dopes....but....thats just me

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT – AN AMERICAN WHO IS PROUD OF HER COUNTRY – CARES ABOUT HER PEOPLE – AND SOMEONE WHO IS NOT JUST READY ON DAY ONE TO BE PRESIDENT BUT IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW

If you can't manage a campaign budget, how will you manage the economy?

If you can't control Bill on the campaign trail, how will you control him in DC?

The longer she stays in this, the more likely she will drift into the political wilderness.

VP...No
Senate Majority Leader...No
Mayor of Chappaqua...Maybe!

Yeah, I was hoping this info won't come out...LOL!!! I mean, why do you think I don't care about these next primaries. Look at Senator McCain, he still winning despite doing nothing or should I say, "talk"...LOL!!! Once the "playoffs" start, we'll see who has the last laugh....

I'm a female business owner and I am urging all of the Hillary supporters in the fall to vote for McCain he is not your typical republican he is actually very liberal. I have spent a long time on this
and have done a lot of research (unlike Obama supporters I actually take my vote serious and know the whole background of the people i vote for) he is the next best thing, he isn't just another 4 years of Bush
in fact they don't even agree on most things. Please Americans DO
Not be fooled again! Haven't we had enough of that with Bush in the white house for 8 years. Obama and his wife will set this country back
100 years, they are UN AMERICAN and not because he doesn't wear
a lapel pin. He states in his book he would rather be in Africa helping out over there. Well why don't he go!! I wish Hillary was the nominee but I know that the race card has been played to the advantage of the Obama campaign and he will be the nominee. But he will NOT be the next Pres. of the US

PEOPLE, YOU must know that FRAMING PEOPLE OF STATES as POOR and UNEDUCATED IS DEMEANING. TO FURTHER IMPLY THAT THE POOR, WHITE AND UNEDUCATED ARE STUPID AND BIGOTED ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR HILLARY, IS ABSOLUTELY INSULTING. STOP, YOU ARE ACTING LIKE THE BULLYING BILLARIES!

Where can we talk directly to the people of West Virginia and Kentucky? I could not imagine living there right now and having to endure this.

LET US TELL THEM KNOW THAT WE LOVE THEM AND DO NOT FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, NO MATTER HOW WHITE, RICH OR EDUCATED. WE ARE RICH TO HAVE THEM ON OUR SOIL! HILLARY is giving them a BAD BILL OF SALE! HILLARY COULD NEVER REPRESENT THEM OR ME! OBAMA IS THE ONE!

I admire Hillary Clinton for not quitting. The rules of the DNC allow for anyone to campaign up to the convention if they want. The popular vote count will favor Clinton in the end when you count FL and MI. And we do have count them. Those voters can not be ignored regardless of what rules the party officials screwed up. People still have the right to vote and they all voted in both states fair and square.

I hope all you Hillary donors were not supporting her tax holiday. How can she make statements that $30 means so much to average Americans, but still try to get them to donate $50-100 for her campaign?
Doesn't make much sense unless you are blinded by the lies of Hillary.

Gotta love the family fight within the Democratic party.

12 points isn't that bad Hillary can take that state of electoral votes with her economic policy alone.

It looks like the drug user is going to steal the presidents position for the USA ! NO WAY NOT EVERYONE IS AN AFRICAN IN THE USA !

As a republican, i'm just relishing this. You go Hillary...to hell with the Democrat party. If you can't win then why should some upstart Senator from Illinois get it. Just keep slingin' the mud on Obama...we very much appreciate it.

Hillary or McCain

We need someone with experience in the White House

Hillary we are with you all the way!!!

CNN why are you so one sided....lets see the polls for Montana and Oregon!!!!

There are many reasons for Senator Clinton to continue in this race, number one being her less than qualified, racist opponent who would not win in the general election.

GO HILLARY!

Sorry Clintons! It is time for a new politics that solves problems, not just empty promises to get through elections, and by the way, the majority of the best presidents that this country ever seen, had no experience – Lincoln, Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelts. My own comparison with Senator Barack Obama's so called lack of experience is with our very experienced V.P.Dick Cheney and his very experienced cohort Donald Rumsfeld. After all, the result of "their experience" is an unbelievable catastrophe. End the nightmare in 2008! Go Senator Barack Obama!

Go Hillary, Go!!

I really don't like all of the mean spirited things the Obama supporters write on here. If Obama hadn't run, you'd all be saying wonderful things about Hillary. So what's up with all the hate?? I've read where people call her a witch, say she cackles, and other really inappropriate things. If comparable words were used for Obama, the moderators would never let the comment be posted. But it's "ok" to say such terrible things about Hillary. Give me a break.

Leave her alone. She's still winning states and that should say something. People still like her – and not just because we are "uneducated," "inbred," or "racist." Isn't it ok to like her just because we feel that she's the best candidate??

By the way, I am personally offended when I read the put-downs saying that I'm "uneducated", "inbred", or "racist" when I am none of those things. Think about who you are offending – other fellow democrats that you will so desperately need should Obama get the nod.

Too llittle and too late!

Poor decision and flawed strategy from the very beginning for her personal utter most quest for the highest position in this nation just DISQUALIFY her to lead the Dems and the nation!

Closing to the end of primary and caucuses in the few remain States left with
Obama leading with delegates count, we clearly see that in the next contest HILLARY is the choice. What is this telling the DNC and the superdelegates?
HILLARY 08 the most qualified candidate/

I am a Hillary supporter through and through.....I WILL NOT STAY HOME, AS IT IS MY RIGHT TO VOTE....I cannot believe you other supporters would throow away your right to vote, out of pure anger. I have no use for Sen. Obama, other than he is a great speaker. Perhaps he can motivate us all in the food bank lines and the unemployment lines. I have prayed and prayed that Obama junkies realize their mistakes and come out to Support the true Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton. Please vote Democratic in November....my future and my childrens future depend on it. Non of us can afford 4 more years of Republican America. We are a Democracy not a Republic....Vote Democratic no matter who the Nominee is.......

Hilary is spending more money then her campaign can afford. She is in big debt. This is a huge mismanagement of money.. How does she plan on getting our economy back on track when she cant even manage the debt of her campaign, neverless the huge task of the United states?? Anyone? Anyone?

COUNTRY FIRST–PARTY SECOND–NO OBAMA

HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL UNITE,,,,,,FOR McCAIN,

YES WE WILL !!!!

I think that the Democratic nominee should be the one who follows rules that were set by the DNC. It's sad but since Florida and Michegan did not follow the rules for the primaries, they should not count. Mrs. clinton is a very bright and strong so is Obama. My point is Obama followed the rules and should not be penalized for it. When the National election comes around everyone's vote will be counted. Hillary has all rights to continue but needs to stop taking pot shots at Obama who has consitently answer back to Clintons pot shots. She will really make this party look bad in the eyes of many if she continues a negative campaign. Mrs. clinton claims that Mr. Obama cannot pull in White Blue collar workers but he is and has consitently. Take a look at his campaign rally's it's represented by all Democrats. If Bill Clinton was running he would have secured the nomination already because he has proved himself already. Florida for Obama!!!

Those die hard Hillary Fans can start a campaign to keep Hillary as McCains running mate..

That way they can best of both parties..NOT!

I voted for Hillary, but I will vote for Obama if he runs for president. It is not about the individual candidates, it is about the party. The reality is the USA is in trouble. Our economy and environment is at stake, and any of these two candidates will do a better job than a republican.

Vote Democrate Vote for Hillary or Obama!

Well If Hillary's Supporter's want to have 4 more years of Bush than be so DUMB then Go Ahead And vote for 4more years of MCSame .........

The governor of WV said Obama will carry the state in the general election if he is the nominee. Barack is giving Hillary some space to go out on a high note. He wants to take the high road and not conduct old politics as usual.

I think America is ready for an ethical, no-spin, transparent president regardless of color or gender. If he chooses a female running mate (not HIllary, she would just try to take over), but someone with solid credentials as an executive, not a spouse of one, someone like Janet Napolitano, governor of AZ, I think he will win by a landslide.

Just for the records, Canadians would love to see Obama win the presidency. Even those of us who know that trade agreements would change and possibly not be as good for Canada would like Obama in the White House because we do believe that his sane, cool approach to the rest of the world would increase security for everyone. I used to respect Hillary but I have nothing but contempt for her now. I have always liked Americans yet I do know Americans would do much to dispell some of the negative images many people in many countries have of them were they to elect Obama. It would be hard to call you a nation of bigots were you to do it. I actually believe you will.

Obama is ahead beacuse of the race card. He has made many racist remarks but every time Clinton or her supporters open their mouths they are called racists. I think Obama is the one who is a racist and an elitist. He says words are important but denies his own words everytime he is questioned on one of his remarks. I am a Democrat and a Hillary suporter. I think if Obama wins I may bring out my old T shirt from 2004 which I bought when Bush won again....It says "NOT MY PRESIDENT".
HIllary probably will not win which is a shame as the dmocrats are choosing a flawed candidate in her place.

If she can't have the white house, she wants to burn it down. It is not about the Clintons. It about America, and 4 more years of George Bush's policies would bury all of us!!!!!

who care's about the Math this country is anyway weak at Math go see the school record of everyone on this blog lolol...... we dont care about the Math....lolol

Its does not matter its over Hillary even if you win in West Virginia and Kentucky .

Obama is the persumptive nominee not you and has now taken the lead in supperdelegates for the first time in this Democratic Campaign.

Gracefully stepdown after this next Primary .

You know its over and so does most democrats around the Country.

Mike, yes that is WHY we will not vote for Obama!!

We don't want you Obama. I think us Clinton supporters should riot in Denver. Just like Obama people said they would.
It time to fight fire with fire.

What is the popular vote count as it stands now?

I cannot understand why you clinton supporters are saying obama have stolen the nomination from clinton...i don't think you are democats..you don't love the party,..you are juste the Clintons' worshippers...If you wanna vote for Mc Cain...go on..We are in a free country.everyone acn do whatever he wants....But let me just tell you that youa re wrong...Obama just fought for the nomination and he got it..clinton fought too but maricans chose Obama..i know it is hard for you.buf if you love this country you better forget your frustrations and vote for Obama and for the democratic party..to vote for Mc Cain is just prolong bush policy,..If you prefer that...go on...but stop attacking Obama....he did not do anything bad...and he did not steal anything..Instead af attacking him...let us try to unify the party to win in november...the democratis party does not belong to the Clintons...Stop being ridiculous guys...

Be fair guys...Sorry for Hillary and all of you !!!

Big deal....she could win all the delegates from both states and not make a dent in his lead. Remember Oregon and Montana are Obama country...We continue to waste countless millions of dollars on something that has already been settled.

Son of Liberty, doesn't seem to bother you obamanites, you keep voting for the no nothing, empty suit Obama!!

GO HILLARY!!

IF NOT HILLARY....THEN McCAIN!!!

Adam, It's a done deal and I agree with you completely!

I will NEVER vote Obama. Hillary will be the nominee or will be in 2012.

Go Hillary!

Can any body call for Obama to drop out if he lose in West Virginia and Kentucky? because she won more States than Obama after WI. I think the Democratic support with the wrong guy their don't understand Americans and the terrible thing going to come to this country. Hillary support the war in Iraq is good thing, that's mean she stand for Americans and protect Americans. Obama not support Iraq ware it mean that's he not stand for Americans and not protect Americans at all. In that time if some body not support the war that mean they don't want to campaign for President like Ted Kennedy. So, all the Sen. or Rep. that's support the war is their are American, stand for American and real American that's why their campaign for President. No Obama because he doesn't care to pledge of allegiance.

West Virgina does not matter this thing is a rap and Hilllary don't come talking that we need this state for the General Election because thanks to you we are still in the Primaries.

I am disappointed in Hillary handling of this presidential race. For the cause of the party she should recognize majority of America has voted for Obama in all demensions. As a white blue collar male, I am now switching my vote to Barack Obama. Her campaign has been flawed with tearing down the other this late in the campaign. ALL call on all other women and blue collar white male to begin support Obama for President.
I hadn't realized she and her husband made $100M since he left office. I don't think someone with this Kind of Money understand our struggles. Obama has been fighting for people for 20+ years. Too many of our so called "experience" politicians haven't been able to lift this country mess we now ind ourselves in. We need a new face in politics. Lets look at the trend.

First Bush>>>First Clinton>>>Second Bush>>>Now Second Clinton

Same to families...give another a break to run this country with fresh ideas and new politics. Time to change the washington mindset.

I will cast my vote for Obama.

Wait a minute! You're telling me that Clinton is more popular among rednecks and racists than Obama? Holy crap! Who would have known?!?!

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

LOL

Adam: Hillary's supporters ARE going to vote for McCain come November anyway. Conservative white democrats are only voting for her in the primaries because they see her as the lesser of two evils. That will be short-lived - trust me. Obama has a better shot.

You go girl.., Hang in there Hillary, you are a true fighter and it shows that you care so much for the U.S. Im glad you are staying in this race, its about time someone with real concerns and real goals and ideas ran for president. I have faith in you, and believe you are the right candidate.

If it was not for the media bias in the beginning, and everyone treating obama like some kind of rockstar, you would of been way ahead. Oh wait you are, cause if it was run like the republican primaries you would of been the nominee a long time ago.

Keep strong, and keep going.

RE:

"FRED May 12th, 2008 11:07 am ET
GO HILLARY!!!
YES YOU WILL!!!"

Fred, I think it might be time to put down the pom-poms....

Hispanics for Clinton, please , stop trying to be the new white people. Do you think she privately thinks any better of your group after calling Bill Richardson a Judas on Palm Sunday.

He is not even president yet but he seems to agree to disenfranchising voters inorder to get ahead. A true leader should hear the voice of everyone, Let the votes from Florida and Michigan be counted !!!. What is he afraid of????....

Both states the Clinton herself said they don't matter.... they are small.

To you Hillary supporters...we invite you to join us in support Barack Obama for President. Together we will build a better America and world.

Isn't the state where they filmed "Deliverance" ? That says it all ...

HILLARY WILL WIN, and all this skeptists will be shocked to death. I hope your health insurances are in order because you will need medical help when you hear the announcement at the convention.

Go Hillary... Our next President

Wait! The people of Kentucky and West Virginia won't vote for a black man? Really? Is that real news? Why am I not surprised?

They all think he is a muslim......idiots.

Yes i look like Obama and I was backing Hillary for a long time. I have lost a tremendious amount of respect due to her choice of words. "Experience" is what lead us to the mess we are in now. We need somebody like Obama in the White house to make changes from the top down.

IF OBAMA LOOSES THE GE IT WILL BE SLICK HILLIE'S FAULT AND I HOPE WE REMEMBER NOT TO VOTE FOR HER IN 2012.

I once loved the Clinton's but both have lost all respect from me.
Hillary you have such a BIG EGO, stop trying to be something you can't.

By the way, if you had won the democratic nominee this is one loyal demoncrat who would have stayed at home and not voted for you.

Virginia-OBAMA 08

cnn why don't you post my comments?are you biased?now that i am not saying anything you will.

She'll use this to try to land a spot on the ticket as VP. She will then wait until Obama's time is up and finally, try to become President. Her ego won't allow her to lose and this is her last chance. Her ego is immense; hopefully Americans will see her as she is and let her go before it is too late.

I've seen a call for Clinton supporters to vote McCain in the general election or stay home as a protest a few times in these comments above. We've really got to stop hating and start uniting as Democrats. I read these comments and feel like I'm witnessing middle school behavior and this is a popularity contest. There's way too much at stake here for small minded punitive thinking to gain traction.

Yes I am voting for Mcain 1 reason is I will not forgive Obama and his pastor for his coments about 911 us New yorkers had it coming. He can go Fu–k himself. New yorkers are still waiting for an apology from Obama and his Pastor.

Randy I somewhat agreed with you because in some cases you don't actually know if there is an Obama or Hillary supporter writing this information. Sometimes I think it could be that some of the posters are angry about the fact Hillary is not up front and write nasty comments about Hillary with the Obama reference and vice/versa. So we all have to make sure that hatred is not apart of both campaign when posting to the blogs.

Clinton Supporters...I would like an intelligent, well-reasoned answer as to why you would vote for McCain, whom you know in your heart, would only serve to keep this country on the same reckless course it's been on for 12 years already–as opposed to voting for Obama if he is the nominee. As a democrat, I am confused as to why you would be so selfish as to make the entire country suffer more (especially us Democrats) because your candidate, who ran an excellent race, didn't win. It wasn't like he cheated. They both played by the rules, the people voted, and he won. Is it so inconceivable to believe that she can lose? Help me to understand who it is you really support–the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, or whomever it is you think can make your own pockets fatter--forget about everyone else? Haven't we had enough of that selfish attitude from the Republicans? I thought we were different.

Even if Hillary were to withdraw from the race, for which there is absolutely no reason on earth to do so, it doesn't detract from the obvious, that Obama has a huge problem with a significant part of the democratic electorate. Why are the Party members and the pro-bamies so defensive about Obama? I won't vote for him even if he was last body standing – he embodies weakness, hypocrisy, a mastermind at playing the race card, no experience in legislature or foreign policy to speak of, a product manufactured by Axelrod and his ilk. Worst of all, he is denying the country the best candidate there is around today.

Obama has conducted as negative a campaign as anyone today on the campaign trail, yet all the swooners are so eager to give him a break. His supporters have called Hillary so many names – Cohen and fatal attraction, McCaskill and her snide Bill Clinton comments, Ted Kennedy and his hardly subtle denigration of Hillary and the list goes on. Propped by the aging sexist liberals of his party, he will be a weak president if he doesn’t first get trounced by McCain.

Yes, and she leads in Puerto Rico, too.

BUT, Obama leads in the other 3 remaining races...where's the ticker on that, CNN?

She is going to run as an independent. We expect her to announce soon. Then what?

Hillary, stay in it till the end of it. You may just prove to the party officials that you have the endurance needed for the General Elections. I still think Obama can be surprised. It doesn't matter if you loose the two primaries out of the four remaining, you will have proved a fundamental point about tenacity. Go all the way to the Convention.

people who will vote macain to avenge Hillary's loss will be responsible for the future thousands of addicional lives lost in iraq and other wars.. keep that in mind people

The Race is not over. If it were, there would be no superdelegates. They are there to serve a purpose, and that purpose is to nominate (not elect) the best candidate for the general election, even if that is not the candidate that won the most delegates.

The supers were created to prevent purely democratic, mathematical results; in short to moderate the excesses of the electorate. Sure, and to keep control of the party.

Without the superdelegates and party processes, the conventions would be irrelevant, and it is at the convention that the candidate is selected.

And if superdelegates were ever needed, it is now. Obama is the most left-leaning candidate the dems have fielded in our lifetimes, is openly contemptuous of traditional american values, and would irrevocably alter american foreign policy in a way that would make Carter look like Roosevelt rather than, well, Carter.

Compare the experience, independence, service, and, yes, heroism of McCain to Obama, and that is going to be a walkover when most americans decide that higher taxes, capital flight, and a welfare state are not something that they want.

Hold your nose and vote for Hillary

A 70% aproval rating? I'm shocked that Hillary could manage that anywhere. Its one thing to like her more than Obama by a huge margin, but to actually like her...that amazes me.

To you Hillary supporters who say you will not vote for Barack in November and hope he loses. Would you prefer that we stay in Iraq, bankrupt the US and bring in the 2nd Great Depression? That's what you will get with McCain. Don't you want something better for you and your children??!

Are the results from WV and KY surprising no. Do they feed HRC argument no. Unless these states are big states that Democrats needs she has stated they don't count.

Obama is not going to win every vote or every state. It is about the American people thinking what is best. That includes have more than one strategy. You always need a Plan B.

excuse me... deliverance was set in northern Georgia, not Alabama.

Her lead in West Virginia should be no surprise to anyone. The truth is, some people will never vote for an African-American, just like some people will never vote for a woman. Obama is still the front runner, and she can not catch up.

Not going to help her this late in the game. sorry, the jig is up.

Her lead in West Virginia should be no surprise to anyone. The truth is, some people will never vote for an African-American, just like some people will never vote for a woman.

Let us all pray for those who have lost someone one in the storms and those that are hurting today.

Keep in mind that we have young men and women fighting over seas in two wars.

As for Hillary Clinton the war have no real meaning. I am requesting that each give us give to the United Way or the Red Cross today let's start with at least $ 25.00....

Please give today.....

Go Obama 08....Our next President

Obama might be able to lessen the lead in Kentucky but WV is on Tuesday and there probably isn't time to change the outcome. Still I hope those voters will give Obama another look. He will make a good president, despite what Billary would have you believe. His plans have the better chance of moving forward.

ADAM, ADAM, ADAM. YOU ARE 100% RIGHT. OBAMA IS SUCH A CON MAN. HIS PASTOR IS COMMING BACK FOR REVENGE. AMERICA WILL FIND OUT ABOUT O.B. AND HIS LIES.NEW YORK POST HAS ALREADY GOTTEN A THING ON HIS PASTOR. WRIGHT DOSN'T CARE IF O.B. LOOSES. HE IS GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW O.B. BETRAYED HIM AND LIED ABOUT NOT HEARING HIS SPEECHES. O.B. HAS A SAYING HE LIVES BY. WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WONT HURT YOU. THIN ABOUT IT.

Randy in Denver: "Let's see if the parties decide to put America over their ownselves"

It is possible, if enough voters see that what unites us is far more important than what divides us, that we will find a way to forge a new American compact, one that raises all of us, and restores our vision and standing in the world. Amen.

Hillary proves once again that she would do or say just about anything to get elected.

If Democratic party steals the nomination away from Obama, I will not be surprised to see riots bigger than what we saw with the Rodney King case. This is a much bigger issue on injustice than that one.

Well said Randy!

You Go Hillary! I am still interested in to see what happens in Florida and Michigan! All US Citizens have a right to have there Vote count and be represented!

For the person who say Hillary will not support Obama is correct, but what he failed to relealize is that Hillary always fake the funk so why would that be a surprise.

seems to me like Clinton just farted... see the guy in the back..

I have never seen ANYONE as powerful and dedicated as Mrs. Clinton. She is what this country needs and she should be a role model for men and women of this country.

The fact that Mrs. Clinton is lending her own money to this campaign is one of the many positive signs of her commitment and confidence in her campaign; it is not the money she is trying to save! She has her country in mind!!

May 12th, 2008 11:55 am ET

Adam May 12th, 2008 10:57 am ET

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!

I AGREE. ITS CLINTON'S TIME IN WHITE HOUSE.

BUSH,CLINTON,CLINTON,BUSH,BUSH, CLINTON, CLINTON

ABC = America for Bush Clintons. Vote for a Kingdom.

YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF ................

you vote for the person who reminds you of the first cousin you kissed

no matter how many jobs are lost over seas you will never ever vote for the guy that looks like the slave your grand pappy used to own.

it would take the devil himmself to get you to admit hillary got beat by a black guy.

etc etc etc...........................kentucky and virginia

Using clintonian fuzzy math, I guess whoever wins WV wins the democratic nomination, right ?

I do very much take offense to West Virginians being called uneducated hillbillies.We joke amongst ourselves but no one else has the right.I do apologize to all of my fellow Obama supporters for the blind prejudice that is going on here in WV.People are voting for Hillary simply because "they aren't voting for no black man".Hillary is trying to capitolize on the racism.Luckily it won't matter.

KLAN POLITICS – why has nothing been said about West Virginia Senator Byrd who is a 'former' member of the KKK. West Virginia is 96% White and polls indicate that a 'majority' of those polled consider race to be an important factor in their vote. Not to admit that this is racism not-so-pure but simple is to be part of it.

@Timothy: Stop your whining. I'm for Obama as much as the next guy but he is not going to "give" your mother health care. If your mother needs health care it is NOT the government's responsibility to provide it. That is not American, is it? America is built on independence, freedom, choice, capitalism. Stop hanging on presidential campaign promises and start taking some action and personal responsibility for the sake of yourself and your family.

To the Hillary cultists that are now screaming "vote McCain- we will have the last laugh--"-Thank you for validating my statement from months ago when I said We aren't the cultists- the Hillary Clinton fans are the cultists and they don't care at all about unifying the party.
If you vote McCain- you just prove so many of us right.
And take that last laugh with you on the way to the poor house, or when you see another relative off to Iraq, or when we bomb Iran, or when RoevWade is over-turned.
Last laugh indeed.

I find it really funny when Clinton supporters say that black people are playing the race card by voting for Obama.

This is the first time they have a canidate that has a really shot at winning, i don't remeber black people supporting Reggie Jackson or Al Sharpton.

Can a Clinton supporter tell what percentage of white people voted for a white canidate since the begining of this Union.

It is amazing and very disappointing that the Clinton's have resorted to racist campaigning to achieve their blind amibition. Bill Richardson is right...stop trying to cling to the throne. The Democratic party belongs to the poeple..not the Clintons.

Son of LIberty,

You should have been more intelligent before you voted for Obama so we have the same right and vote for either Hillary or McCain in the general election we can add her to the ballot

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

When McSame's new Supreme Court justices overturn Roe, which they WILL do, I hope these shrill women remember what they said. Vote for McSame=turn back women's rights 40 years.

Yes, Hillary is tough and smart, BUT he campaign was butchered by Bill and a group of terrible advisors. I'm sorry, but you don't get a do-over. She lost, deal with it.

Democrats unite and stop acting like kids

Hey Obama supporters...wake up. Your candidate is severely flawed. He can't win. Call it race, call it inexperience, call it empty rhetoric, call it whatever you want. The fact is, too much of the Democratic base has a problem with this guy. And good luck with the 'youth' vote you're banking on so heavily. You're gonna have to throw keggers at every university in the country on election night to even motivate them to come out.

An Obama nomination = a vote for McCain for this Democrat.

after few weeks of starting election all we have heard from Obama people is calling for Clinton to get out . what kind of election is this and if he is enough confident why he does not wait to see who is realy elected and we are hearing so many superdelegates going to Obama but superdelegates should come after peoples vote.

The bile directed at the Clintons by Obama supporters on this forum has been reprehensible.

For a group of people that espouses "hope" and "change", you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

You're all hypocrites.

hillary all the wayy. i love you hillary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It really surprises me that Clinton fans say they will NEVER vote for Obama... What has he done that's so irreparable and offensive? Hillary Clinton has "thrown the kitchen sink" at Mr. Obama and slandered all of the "other" working – hard working, American's out there (African Americans, Hispanic, Asian, Native etc.). You must be out of your mind if you think Hillary is "nice". She is nasty, divisive and her newest title is BIGGOT. I am hurt and completely undone by her "winning" mentality... If she prevails, it would be a Pyrrhic victory at best.

I'm glad the Super delegate ain't stupid!! Clinton has been a good oponent, she's a tremendous "adversary", but some time, it is time to be real....I would vote for you if you would win...but now, it is OVER! Please withdraw yourself as John Edwars mention it, before it is too late, before the republican take advantage of the situation, and let Obama do his job...Just for the love of the party...Please!!

Hillary...it's all over but the crying and the tears.

Yes My fellow American's Let us show the Republicans how chaotic we are. Let us continue on and keep ourselves the Un-United party Live and Let Live is not words we live by. Its kill the Ump, Batter up Three Strikes your Out. Down with Hypocrisy Up with the People is Obama's Call and you all are just going to waste this opportunity like we have in all the other times with childish fights for nothing but EGO

Timothy. Get your facts straight. HRC is the one that has been for health ins. for yrs. Obama hasnt got know plans, solutions or know how. He copies all of her issues. You haters are only making it worst for your canidate if he gets nominated. The Clinton supporters will get even by all the hate you givin her through this race and vote for McCain.McCain is alot better choice than Obama. He is to green to be a President. O.B. hasn't done anything for this country. HRC has always been here for us and shows how much she will fight for us. O.B. is in this race for history. HRC is in this race for us.All O.B. 's glamour, smooth speeches and money sn't enough to run our country.America will fall if he gets elected. You think we have problems now. You havn't seen anything yet. Go HRC.

I guess the Clinton ego can be stroked one more time, but it is time for Hillary to call off the attack dogs and bow out gracefully before doing further damage to the party.

Hillary,China,India and Walmart,working together to bring you low,low prices and no jobs.

WILL WE PICK A LOOSER (OBAMA) OR the person that can win November (Hillary).

We force a looser to be our candidate we will loose in November I guarantee it...

Will this be the trifecta? Gore, Kerry and Obama?

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

I'm sick of reading all these unnecessary attacks on West Virginia. The fact is, if you're making these accusations of West Virginia voters as inbreeding, racist, uneducated hillbillies, you need to do a bit of your own research. By the way, Deliverance was actually set in northern Alabama (an Obama state)...look it up.

My wife is from Taiwan, and I've lived in Detroit, NYC, and now Morgantown, WV, and I have to say that this is a beautiful state with a large amount of educated people living in its cities and beyond. Kentucky and West Virginia's people living in the country are no different than the people living far in the country in Michigan, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania and anywhere else in the USA.

I happen to be voting for Obama, and I take great offense at people showing such great prejudice towards entire states of people, while at the same time claiming to support unity. I can't help but feel you're the uneducated ones.

The only thing that her big wins in WV and Kentucky means it that just like she says, she can win the uneducated, gun toting, against abortion white votes. This only indicates to me that these people would never vote for an African American, either male or female. Now that is racist. So, we really don't need them anyway! Don't vote for him, there are plenty of open-minded people that will vote him into the White House this November without them. Hillary also forgets that there are 4 other primaries to go after these two, and Barack is favored to win big in at least 3 of them and Puerto Rico may be a split like Indiana and she still will not have the popular vote, so I don't know what she is talking about when she says that she will have the most popular votes....here she goes again, not knowing how to count and changing traditional math the new Clinton formula.

Timothy, you sound like your drama queen candidate Obama. When that bag of wind get the nod, I and many others will become first time republican voters. And, as whacked out as the Democratic Party is becoming, I may just stay right there. Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Mc Govern, there are some real winning presidential candidates backing Obama. Can you say “too far to the left”? If you think Obama will win in the fall you are as out of touch as dream boy is. If not Clinton, then Mc Cain 08

If God be for you, then who can be against you. I say that to Sen. Obama for all the people who say he can not win in the General Election. There are going to be people who planned on voting for McCain, but will end up voting for Sen. Obama in November.

Yes we Can!!!
Obama 08

MCCAIN DEMOCRATS. SOUNDS GOOD HUH! I MAY HAVE CONSIDERED obama BUT THE UGLINESS OF THE BLOGS SHOWS ME THEY PROBABLY SIT IN WRIGHTS PEWS AND PRETEND NOT TO HEAR. NOWAY WILL THIS COUNTRY MOVE AS FAR LEFT AS OBAMA WANTS. I'M GONNA ENJOY THE LOOK ON KENNEDY'S AND KERRY'S FACE WHEN THEY FIND OUT THE DEMS LOST AGAIN. THE PRICELESS HEADLINE WHEN RICHARDSON LOSES NEW MEXICO FOR SUPPORTING obama WHEN THEY DIDN'T. THE NEW SLOGAN FOR obama "GOT MILK?"

Hillary :it iis all good and well, please do your self your family and american family a favour, put your pride aside, I know ihow one want to go back to the white house to get some attention, expecially when one is not getting it from the husband believe me I have been there . I know how if fell to be upses about something just to prove a point.
IT OVE, LET IT GO.

A Canadian Perspective:

Obama Fans: RELAX. You probably have the nomination. Rub it in and you will face defeat in November. You NEED Clinton supporters to help you, and you need them all.

Clinton Fans: RELAX. We all know you have a strong candidate, but it hasn't worked out. Even if Clinton somehow took the nomination from Obama, she will cause irreversible damage to the party and face obliteration in the fall.

Everyone: It is now time to grow up and prepare for the real game ahead.

Cheers from the Great White North, eh!

I Love the way Hillary has adopted the catch phrase... Yes..We.. Will..

Holiday Tax Relief- John McCain started with it April 1, 2008 than Hillary decided it sounded good so she was going to use it..

Barack Obama -... YES...WE...CAN... beginning of his campaign in 2007..

Hillary adopted – March 2008.. Yes..We..Will... she can't even think on her feet unless it is somebody else's ideas.

The true and real ideals come from inventive people like Barack Obama..

YES....WE...CAN...

CIm a teacher in Texas, How the dems are going for Obama over Hillary is beyond me, I guess I will vote for Mc Cain

This is the expected outcome in these two states, Ms. Clinton's "average" supporter resides in these two staqtes, anything less than a landslide would really lookbad. I aqm happy to see her stay in the race, I support Mr. Obama but it would look terrible for him to lose to someone who is not running!

Finally a quick comment to those who do not understand the terrible things supporters of Mr. Obama have said about Ms. Clinton, you need to understand these are (for the most part) DEMOCRATS saying that. Ms. Clinton has been, and most likely will remian a HIGHLY divisive person. People tend to like her, maybe even love her, or they HATE her with an unnatural hatred. What you have seen here on these boards, AMONGST DEMOCRATS, is a VERY small version of what you would have seen should she have competed against the Repunblicans. While most Democrats can see the good times during the former President's time in office most Republicans see only bad times. If Ms. clinton had gone on you would ahve seen this country torn apart much worse than the party ahs been. That is a simple fact, and right now the country needs to pull together again. So while Ms. Clinton has strong supporters the COUNTRY needs someone who is less divisive. I AM NOT saying Mr. Obama has done nothing divisive I am simply saying he will not bring the same level of hatred Ms. Clinton would have.

It is interesting to note BOTH parties seem to be picking the candidate which will bring people together, almost like the country, as a whole (minus some radicals on BOTH sides of the aisle) feels it is time to mend fences between the parties and start running America as a single country. We have the possibility of really bringing about change this time folks, now lets see if the PARTIES have noted the same thing and if they decide to put America over their ownselves during the upcoming election or if they decide to continue spewing hatred instead of cooperation.

Barack allowed Hillary to have her moment in the Sun in WV and Kentucky. He is letting her go out with a bang! BUT, she IS GOING OUT!

Obama for President

Adam May 12th, 2008 10:57 am ET

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!
************************

DITTO, DITTO, DITTO 15 MILLIONS TIMES!

Brad you and the rest of the Obama supporters too does not get it . WE do not believe in Obama, we do not trust Obama, we do not believe that he is honest and will bring or deliver the changes he has promissed because he is a typical and average politician. WE do not believe in the person and we are more comfortable with McCain as some democrats were with Reagan in the 80's

Obama is an opportunist and we do believe he is not honest and lie

If racial issue is a concern for Americans, what it would be for Africans?
Shame on some of HRC supporters

Does that guy in the photo holding his nose, smell something?

In regards to Tmothy's remark that his mother did not have healthcare because of Hillary Clinton:
I remember when Bill Clinton was elected President the first time and Hillary made a huge effort to get a National Healthcare plan but was attacked terribly by Congressmen who were in the pockets of Health Insurance Lobbyists who are out there everyday to make sure there is as little regulation on Healthcare Insurance as possible AND I KNOW HOW UNFAIR THE SYSTEM IS BECAUSE I SELL HEALTH INSURANCE!!
Hillary and Bill Clinton have done more to get something done in this area than anyone I know.
Barrack Obama according to the non-partisan website votesmart.org has failed to vote on over 60% of the issues put up for a vote when he was in the senate and do you really think he is going to take on this explosive issue of Healthcare? Get real !
If he wins this thing in November I can't wait to see all the Obama supporters crying like little Kids when he can't deliver and OH I know if you talk against him you are a racist right!
i hope if Obama wins the nomination that all the Hillary supporters back McCain as at least we know how he feels about America.
Wright,Bill Ayers,Rezco.... That says it all as far as I am concerned about radical Obama.

hookeded on phonixs werked for dem! heelbilleys!

Hi, I love Hillary Clinton, I will not vote for Obam, I will vote for Mccain Better.

How is she being selfish? If people are still voting for you and you are still winning states how does it make sense to drop out?
LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!

I'm not devoted to the democratic party or republican party, I'm devoted to the American and as such we all have the right to choose who we think is the best candididate. KY & WV have the right to say as well, it's not the media's right and there's more at stake than 2 teams playing a game to win. I like many others have weighed the choices carefully. Hillary is the smartest, most knowledgeable and has the best ability to get the job done. McCain is next, he will protect this country and not cave to outside pressure over what's best. Obama, nice man, not strong enough to handle things, not enough experience. If Hillary was a man I'd vote for her, If Hillary was black I'd vote for her, get the point!!!

Obama won't win the white vote, won't win the gay vote, won't win a large swath of educated votes (countless democratic lawyers have told me they won't vote for him). If he loses in November, he owes the Democratic Party and the American people a giant apology for jumping into a race for which he was ill-suited and losing an election that should have easily gone to the Democrats. Hillary would have beat McCain. Obama's idealism has blinded him to the harsh reality of racism in this country. For better or worse, now is not the time for President Obama.

Tony,

The math is against Clinton because she cannot win the most delegates, she cannot win the popular vote, and she cannot even win the most number of states won. Neither candidate can reach the goal without Supers.

Counting Florida and Michigan, Obama is still ahead in all Categories. Even popular vote. 16,556,313 to 16,452,341. Not counting those two states, his lead is 727,053.

Now, why would Super Delegates decide to give the nomination to Clinton, when she is not ahead in any of the measured categories? This would only tick off the majority of Dems who voted for Obama.

That's how the math is against Clinton.

Also, you mentioned the Electoral College. The Republicans are using that flawed method in their primaries. Winner take all. The only possible way for Clinton to claim a lead is by saying she'd be winning by GOP rules. I bet you'd be on board with that logic as well.

That's the math, boy.

Hillary's campaign is 2 million in debt for what? How much money did Hillary spend campaigning in WV and KY? Hillary knows the demograhics of both states money wouldn't do it, fear of an African American answering the phone did.

Hillary supporters, by not voting for Obama you're not hurting him. You are hurting the country if you let the Rep back in office, you are hurting your education, your children's chance of education, you will give the reps the ok to initiate a draft, kill more Americans, send more people into poverty, lose more jobs, help other countries get our jobs, our money. There is not enough hate for any AMerican to do this to yourself or your country.

CLINTON supporters why would you not support Obama? You would rather MCCain take office than see a fellow Democrat in office. You would rather stay jobless and broke than see Obama in office. What is wrong with you guys? That would be just stupid! You might as well call yourselves Republicans.

Can anyone tell me why and how the preimary elections of the Democratic Party are really Democratic. Obama's campaing first said that Super Delegates had to follow the consensus of their state constituencies, when Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson did not follow that rule they change and said that it has to be the consesus of the national lead in pledge delegates what an irony. Thy can change the rules but the Clinton campaing can not. They can attack the Clinton campaing and be negative but if the Clinton's does the same they are racist. Who is racist here and who plays the sex and race card here.

Who lies and who will not deliver OBAMA

Don't worry about the squirrel eatin', raccoon hat wearin', horse marryin' voters in WV and KY.....there primary won't mean zilch this week.

What i s interesting about this is last week she was supposed to win WV by 43% and now it is 35%. I can not wait until the results come in to see how much she actually does win by.

After a speech on "57 or 58 states" in his Oregon stop ....he is skipping WV and KY ....what kind of presidential quality do you folks see in BHO. ...

...plus got whipped during PA ... how is he going to stand up to Hamas and Al Quida ?

Hillary and McCain is clearly more presidential and composed

How can she run my country if she cant run a campaign. She is in the RED and so is our country. Please Vote Obama and see if we can get back our future.

Obama supporters behave like they are 30-40 percent ahead in national poll and they say Obama can unite the country!! Hehe. Most of you have no idea about NAFTA and Bill Clinton presidency or other topics because you were just kids!! you spread hate and negative campaign and expect Hillary supporters vote for Obama in election!!! Obama and his supporter just repeating empty words and questioning everything about the past!!

It's about DELEGATES not about popular votes. The rules are very clear: the only counts is delegates. Period.

its preposterous!!! how can hillary be the better candidate when she ran a lousy campaign and is behind obama by 15 states??? i want a candidate that can run her campaign effectively before we entrust her to the keys to our huge govt, get a grip people!

Give Hillary FL and MI...Obama still wins.

I'm so sick of Clinton supporters saying they won't vote for Obama. They share 95% of the same principles, which leads me to believe that a lot of these people just want a woman President no matter what. The fact that any Clinton or Obama supporter would switch to McCain is beyond comprehension. I thought 70% of this country was fed up with the war? I thought a similar number were fed up with the economy? How does McCain fit into the picture?

HEY UNEDUCATED HILLARY SUPPORTERS
OBAMA CANT WIN IN NOVEMBER BUT HILLARY CAN ?? HOW DID YOU ALL GET TO THIS CRAZY CONCLUSION? WHY EVEN BOTHER HAVE A PRIMARY OR A GENERAL ELECTION? JUST GIVE QUEEN HILLARY THE KEYS TO THE WHITE HOUSE NOW.
OH BY THE WAY IF YOU HAD AN OUNCE OF EDCUATION IN YOUR BODY , YOU WILL KNOW THAT POLLS NOW MEAN NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO NOVEMBER !!

I have been reading so much negativeness about WV and KY, but I refuse to believe that the people of WV and KY are that closed minded. Perhaps the polls are wrong.

I was a Hillary supporter all the way, but reading these stupid comments of other Clinton supporters going to McCain in November
crazy. Therefore I now support Obama for President!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep on Going. Do not listen to bias Media.

RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT HILLARY!!

To all those out there who are voting McSame instead of Obama when he is made the Democratic nominee, because it is inevitable. Remember this, you are basically voting for more Republicans in the Supreme court, do you want to risk loosing your right to choose? Just because Hillary isn't going to make it? That seems like lunacy to me! Either you're a Democrat willing to stand with the rest of your party and its ideals no matter who the nominee is, or you're a Republican who was just voting for Hillary because she is a woman. Because if you actually took the time to read Mr. Obama's 64 page plan for change on his website, you'd realize that 95% of his issues are Hillary's issues. He has many plans for this great nation. And as a virtual newcomer, he doesn't carry that baggage that wouldn't let him cross the isles and get things done. You'd rather spite the party just because your mad your girl didn't make it? Seems rather childish. As an registered Independent, I for one am fed up with the Republican rule in this country. I SAY NO MORE! And I will lend my vote to the DEMOCRATS whom ever that may eventually be. Because really, even as much as I do not like Hillary, I know that she would do far better for this country than 4 more years of the MiniMe McSame. Please, lets not have 4 more years of going backwards on economy, how we are perceived in the world, and our fragile environment. Think with your heads, not your emotions.

Those WV and Kentucky "hard-working, blue collar voters" she keeps yammering about are what we in Texas (yes, I am from texas) call rednecks. Rednecks vote Republican, not Democrat, unless the candidate is FROM Texas (or, I suppose in this case, WV or Kentucky).

The Democrats wouldn't carry that vote in November anyway.

How amazing this political season is when the Clintons are relying on Bush rednecks to prove they are the winners... I never thought I'd see that.

It would be laughable except it is such a sorry statement about how bigotry and racism *still* exist in this country.

HILLARY THE BEST CANDIDATES MUST WIN NOT ONLY IN PRIMARY BUT IN GENERAL ELECTIONS 2008.or its not gender or race ,old or young but the right candidate who has enormous experience and strength and she will prove to be a Cherismatic leader to entire world.AMERICA needs a" TRUE LEADER AND IMAGE BUILDER " to lead the world.

Hillary, keep doing what you are doing, it is empowering the democratic process in this country. The math is not in your favor, but it is not impossible for you to get the nomination. If you get 70% of the remaining states, which I believe that you could based on the demographics of those states, you would the nomination.

I believe that most of the country is with you at this stage of the game and if you are not on the ticket, they will not vote democratic this year, something that this country cannot afford.

Who is the candidate you would least likely like to play a board or card game with? I say the one who constantly wants to change the rules, or redefine what matters in the game. . What the world would be like with a person like that in charge of a game piece in the game of the world? It is a scary world to live in where the rules are changed all the time. So far we have been lucky to only have to read about other countries with leaders like this.

Harrison:
You're the reason I respect actual McCain supporters. You see the facts for what they are, and although I don't agree with you (at all), I respect the fact that you are supporting him because you agree with him and not out of spite, which is what many Clinton supporters are doing. One minute they demonize Republicans, the next minute, they vote for them. The democratic party is destroying itself this way and can no longer blame Republicans for it's own shortsightedness.

WV & KY, Now is the time for your voices to be heard!

VOTE FOR CLINTON!

THE 90s were good: we had $, our national buget was balenced, we had jobs, and gas was affordable!

YES WE WILL!

Clinton supporters UNITE! STAY home on election day if NObama steals the nomiation from us. This election is for every hard working American, working hard for a better future; for ourself, our families andour fellow Americans. VOTE for a President who will make a difference for you!

VOTE HILLARY CLINTON 2008!

OK I am an active Obama supporter. Do any of you Clinton supporters ever actually listen to Obama speak? I do, and I listen to Clinton and McCain's points of view as well as I make an objective judgement based on all the facts available to me.

Obama and all of his true supporters, far from being "nasty" as quoted above are on record in saying it is Clinton's right to stay in as long as she feels like it and there is nothing wrong with letting all the contests play out and finding a resolution for FL and MI.

That process is over on June 3. After that the super delegates should decide so there is enough time to unite the Party.

Yawn. WV tends to flip back and forth between the Republican & Democratic parties. KY is a hardcore, unwinnable red state for the Dems (yes, polls show a Hillary vs. McCain matchup in KY as a 12 point victory for McCain.) I think Hill will quit when she wins one or both of these 2 contests as it will allow her to hold her head high when she concedes.

Just another thought. Some of the Obama supporters are saying some very mean and nasty things about the people of West Virginia and Kentucky. One even said that it did not matter because they always vote Republican, which is not true. West Virginia has been a very good Democratic state over the years. Now apply the logic to all of Obama victories, such as Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Utah, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Nebraska ,Louisana and Virginia, all Republican states. Most are so Republican, with the exception, of two Senators, all have Republicans as the office holder. If you think that Obama is going to carry these states, you need to stop smoking those "reefers", they are affecting your judgement.

To all those people who is going to vote for Mccain if HRC don't win, Think about it your family, think about economy, Can we have another 4 years of BUSH. That what MCCAIN is. And if she runs as independant, that free give away to MCCain. too.

Clinton please do every body favor, quit that if you care about country, not just yourself. I know a lot of you HRC supporters are Racist and will not vote for Black person. Please this is new century wake up and change.

OBAMA 2008

MAYA

eat your words
obama is speaking right now in wv and will speak later in ky
get over it

hillary would not speak to you if it were to save your life. she is to rich for any of us

Obama's and Clintons views are almost identical the only difference is how they implement their ideas. If you like Hillary and she does not win why would anyone not vote for the party winner or vise versa. Then vote for the opposition candidate those views you don't agree just to spite the winning candidate ? That's insane!! What would make you now vote for the winning candidate? Silly..A hundred years from now people will get a big chuckle out of this stupidity.

Why should I support Obama? Why should I embraced Obama's supporters who though all the campaing have been arrogant and disrespectful for Clinton's supporters.

And by the way McCain is not an evil person he is a decent politician and we have all the right to look at the other side of the table to see who really can offer a real change and not an illusion of change

Hilary is spending more money then her campaign can afford. She is in big debt. This is a huge mismanagement of money.. How does she plan on getting our economy back on track when she cant even manage the debt of her campaign, neverless the huge task of the United states?? Anyone? Anyone?

Now I really find it funny that most HRC supporters are "hoping" things will happen to Obama so HRC can get the nom. Now you know what hope is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a shame that the Obama supporters are such nasty, angry, hateful people. What a turn off!!
Obama's a good guy....you all aren't doing him any favors with your nastiness. Give it a rest.

To Tony (11:30 am):

I do not mean this in a nasty way at all – but Obama's lead is now at a point where it seems even if tallies from all 50 states are counted, HRC will not have the popular vote lead – and certainly not the delegate lead.

Also, even if HRC were able to catch up in the popular vote, this country has had elections in which the delegate leader and the popular vote leader were different. The delegate leader has won each time because that is how the system is set up. I don't think if Obama and Clinton were in reverse positions that you would call for this system to be altered and I don't think it should be now simply because your candidate is losing the delegate count.

God speed ahead Ms President. Thanks for the medical coverage, helping pay off my college debt, and for bringing my brother home after 8 years in the desert.....

Just let HRC compete till the end...even if she tries to change rules in the process like "under the republican system i would be the nominee ?!?!?!" does she mean she wants the DNC to ...become...Republican...(HOUHOUHOhahahahahah!!!) oh boy!that woman...Just Let her Win!!!!Please let that woman win the nomination and the GE...

It is over so it does not matter at all.

We all know that the delegate math is against her 100%. Her only hope is to swing some of the Superdelegates to her side (or back to her side) to make up the difference. That would mean that 80% of the toal number of Supers would have to vote for her. Possible (as anything is possible), but extremely unlikely.

I think the true gauge of one's character is not how you win, but rather how you lose. There is a way to gracefully lose and I hope that she does that.

to susan from missouri: everyday you come in here promoting hillary ,and in the same article,you promote obama.who's side are you on? or better yet ,how many split personalities do you have?i think you are a limbaughnut trying to stir trouble in the democratic race.

WE HILLARY SUPPORTERS will not vote for Obama the fake and arrogant lier whow is playing with voter's dreams. He is a vulgar and average politician and we are going to start a movement against him.

He has portrayed himself as the champion for change,what change and based on what. Is he is the nominee and if he reach the white house his followers are going to be so dissapointed he will achieve nothing and he will change nothing.

Keep on insulting KY and WV and show your true colors. Our votes are no more insignificant that yours are. It doesn't matter how the primaries end, the person who is elected will be who the "big business" or the Washington political machine chooses. If our votes mattered so much, why have delegates, super delegates, etc.? Think of past elections and the big surprises. You may be in for one this time before it is all over. And another thing, insulting people just because of where they are from or because they don't agree with your choice of candidates is childish and immature and doesn't bode well for the candidate you are suppose to be representing...Grow up and leave the schoolyard antics at home!!

Kentucky is a solidly Republican state when the Democratic Party nominates liberals.
When the Democratic Party nominates moderates the state goes Democratic. Note the last two Democratic Presidents have carried Kentucky. Does anyone see a pattern
Enough said. Sadly the Democratic Party is sliding back to the 80s in it nominees.

So we have the nominee from the democrats, and he is loosing in the remaining states from Senator Clinton. Liberal media is throwing the final punches to shut down Hillary Clinton, and cheer lead their favorite candidate ( Windy City Senator Obama).
Howard Dean is all over his stupid decisions on Michigan and Florida, and Obama is happy with it...
So we are going to have McCain for a president. I think this is a god news for America.
At least McCain is a patriot and loves this country.

No way to the Obomadable. He's no fighter and has no experience. He is prejudice snob that has no clue what he's doing. He'll never win in November and the party will learn their lesson the hard way.

I'll pull the vote for Mccain before I do for Obamadable.

HILLARY'S DOING NOTHING MORE THAN SECURING A FUTURE FOR CHELSEA IN POLITICS. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS NOT HER MAIN INTEREST, SHE KNOWS SHE WON'T WIN. PLEASE DNC IT'S TIME TO STOP HILLARY.

The comment in the article, "Kentucky is considered a solidly Republican state" is not at all true. Not only did Bill Clinton carry the commonwealth twice, it has only had one Republican governor in more than 30 years. Not to mention the fact that an overwhelming majority of registered voters are democrats.

Enjoy this win ! It will be your last. Time to say goodbye.

Keep the good fight going Senator Clinton. She is the only one that knows what they are doing. We can't afford to elect another president that has no experience in Washington. Haven't we learned our lesson with the one we have now.

Well Sabrina....I guess the democrats are going to fall!!!

We will not vote for OBAMA!!

Go Hillary....if not McCain!!

Not really surprising that Clinton is taking those "good ole boy" states. She's not going to get the nod, so all she's doing now is messing up the Democratic party. Rather self-serving actions for someone who wants to serve the people.

Hillary behold there is a King coming from the east.............This election should not be about blue or red state, black or white! It's about we the people who build american and it's economy.......Do u smell what Barack is cooking...:)

Adam, he did not lie about Wright and hearing the things he said. He specifically said that he was not in church during those particular sermons that were making the news but that he had heard him say other things. Don't come on these blogs and post that nonscence because it ultimately makes you the liar.

Hillary, I'm totally moved by your commitment to the American people. I'm convinced that you're running for president because you care about the people and the country. Your determination to fight against all odds, especially as a woman, is admirable! Keep it up!

Hillary Who???? Ahhh the one who refused to understand that she lost????Mama Mia....She is going to be still hollering after the swearing in ceremony of Obama...
By the way did any one notice shape of hillarys eyes

O^O
-

its too late the partys over , bye bye hillary

it's not enough to win the nomination.barack has too huge of a lead.besides ,hillary is to inexperienced to be president,and bill will try to run things ,from behind the scenes.hillary is too dishonest,just like mccain and bush.her ideas for the economy are bogus pandering for votes.obama will campaign in the remaining states,to try to maintain his lead,and he will narrow the gap,as more people get to know him better,and recognize hillary's deceit.and ,by the way ,you people thinking she's going to lead in popular votes,are crazy.she's 3/4 of a million behind obama ,and now,has even took over the super -d lead.pack it up hill,you are finished.

Obama needs to be careful. He will need to pressure Hillary into spending more money. The sooner she runs out of money, the better.

He needs to blanket both states with ads, if for no other reason, to make Hillary nervous.

But he won't need to go negative. Just a few "Yes We Can" ads ought to do.

Liked both Obama and Hillary, but Obama more. He's fresh and we need real change. Not another Republican for sure! McCain is just Bush 2.0. Wish the world could vote for a U.S. president, not just us Yanks. It would be Democratic everytime.

This is our democratic election process at work! Leave it alone and enjoy the ride. Its not all Hillary... people are voting for her and want her to win the nomination. Sounds like to me Obama supporters want their guy to have an easy time of it... wanting her to throw in the towel... she has substantial voter support that cannot and should not be ignored. Finally in my lifetime we have a primary that will actually be forced to hear from all the states, and people are complaining. yikes.

No dout (from my german very-far- away-distance) that Obama will win.

Hillary´s role to play in the future is VP of Obama If she wants to play that role) In order not to loose her face, she is said to continue her race, faithful to the motto:

" I don´t mind Obama being presidend under me"

Hillary would give illegals healthcare. I'm against that completely. If you aren't a proper citizen of this country you need to get out of here. You can come back when you follow the rules. This is a huge problem.

Come on Hillary....

Don't quit... ever... run independant if you have too... it's time for more options!

Ya right, Obama voted "present" 24 times in the Illionois Senate to protect himself. He even voted "present" on his own bill twice – ummhh I wonder why?

For the sake of her dignity, Hilary Clinton should just quit. She is doing nothing but destroying the political future of her little girl Chelsea.

Go Obama.

Obama supporters are the loosers.Why are they putting the people in WV down?Is it because obama is not in the lead there?Grow up obamabots.

Hillary,

I really hope Obama breaks with another tradition: The nominee paying off the debts of the candidate running 2nd. Why should Obama's campaign pay for your fiscal irresponsibility? Democrats are supposed to be "pay as you go", but you seem to subscribe to the republicans' "charge it" tendency. Hate to say it, but our nation can't just go claiming bankruptcy and get a fresh start on the world stage like so many Americans can!

In addition to dominating West VA and Kentucky head-to-head, Hillary also holds comparative advantages over Obama in a race against McCain in the following states (RCP averages):
Florida: +10.7
Ohio: +8.8
PA: +8.0

Don't worry dems... I'm sure those states won't be important in the fall or anything!

Hillary will probably enjoy her last two victories......but the math is seldom wrong.........she is behind.......and will be unable to close the gap delegate that exist in favor of Obama. She will win these two battles, but the "war" is over.......she is defeated......endure it and move on with life.

Jodie,

Please respond and answer me this. How can Hillary save our economy when she is running a campaign in the RED?? Doesn't sound very fiscally responsible to me. Please stop saying she has experienced, being the first lady does not give you experience. If that is your case then Robin Givens should have been a heavy weight champ after being married to Mike Tyson.

Fred:

I am convince you are a republican posing as a democrat

Obama / Webb 08

HILLARY = BITTER

OBAMA = FUTURE

YES WE CAN

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to go on record AGAIN saying how completely ignorant it is for women to be voting for Hillary because she is a woman. While I can understand your need to eventually have a woman in the White House, there are many women who do not believe she is the best candidate. Shame on any woman for voting for her just because she is a woman. I thought women were smarter than that.

I AM SO GLAD TO SEE THAT HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP!!!!!!!

WHAT WILL THEY SAY WHEN SHE WINS THESE STATES?

CONTRIBUTE IF YOU CAN AND NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!!!

It would be impossible for Mr. Obama to win against Mr. McCain. The basis of the Democratic Party supporters e.g. blue collar workers, women, would only vote for Hillary Clinton at the general election. They would rather vote for McCain than for Obama. That is why iIt would be wise for the Democratic Party if superdelegates would choose Hillary as a nominee.

guess I don't vote for a president this time

Is that fear that I hear from the Obama people? What are you afraid of? That all the states will get a chance to vote? Come on, be nice. We love our candidate as you love yours and we want to see her win ! Let the voters have their say–The supers will control the primaries, so, be not afraid. It is the general that you need to worry about! Onward and Upward! Love Kentucky and WV–my kind of people–Michigan Nurse–also "educated".

Even with people like Adam below, who is no Democrat but actually a Republican, Obama is going to win, hands-down.

America is tired of the Republicans right now. As soon as Hillary finally gives up and the media turns its spotlight on McCain, he's done.

I look forward to President Obama. He'd better deliver on his promise to change the tone of Washington. He feels like our last, best hope – else America may be doomed to continue down the tubes, and the good times will be forever over as we become just another country, and no longer anything special...

Obama needs only 33 more pledged delegates to wrap up the race. Even if Hillary wins in West Virginia and Kentucky, Obama will win the nomination on May 20th, because he's got a 15 point lead in Oregon where there's 52 delegates up for grabs..

When that happens the SD's will flock to Obama to give him the 2025 needed.

It's time for all democrats to unite behind the Obama campaign and get ready for the fight with John McBush in November.

I can hear it now. Hillary wins West Virginia and Kentucky by huge margins so she MUST be the people's choice. Well, up until today, Obama has won 16 primaries/caucuses with 60% or more of the vote. Hillary has won just one – her home state – Arkansas. The numbers don't lie. More delegates, more superdelegates (and more every day), larger popular vote, no matter what happens in WV and Kentucky.

Hillary – put your (and Bill's) huge ego aside and show some grace by withdrawing. You do not want to be remembered as the primary reason for McCain getting in in November!!!

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...she would just be ignored now. Which is what Obama is doing...he barely mentions her anymore. I think its hilarious!

If not Hillary, then McCain.

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

Deal with it.

LOL.

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

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

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

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

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.
Jack C

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.

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

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

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

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!!!!!!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

WV AND KY PEOPLE,

THIS IS NOT OVER

WE NEED YOU TO ACTUALLY GET UP GET OUT

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

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.

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?

UNITE

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Go Hillary!!

Who cares if Obama and the DNC are hurt!!

Run as an Independent Hillary!!

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.

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’

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.

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??!?!?

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!

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

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!

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!

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!!!

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???

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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?

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.

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

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

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 !

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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 .

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

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

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?

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!

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!

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!

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"

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 !

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.

Operation Chaos!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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

Forget West Virginia and Kentucky!

We don't need you to win in November!

GoooObama!

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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?

.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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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???

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!

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

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

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!

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.

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 ...

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

you go girl!

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.

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!!!

Good!

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

Hillary 08

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

This means WHAT?

Good for her

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.

GO HILLARY!!!

YES YOU WILL!!!

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

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

This means What?

And, so what? This thing is over.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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!!!!!

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.

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.

»»GO WAY Clinton!!YOU already LOST!!

With do respect... So?
What does she want?

»»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!!...

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.

Whats with Oregon ?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Of what significance is any of this anymore?

President as independent you will win

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

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."

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

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

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!!

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

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

Hillary – Keep on truckin'!

We love you!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.
