CNN, please stop posting the rhetoric by the Hillary Campaign. It is over and as long as you keep posting this misleading crap, it makes Hillary more delusional!

OBAMA-08!

More spin than a Category 5 Tornado! Hillary, your attack dog Carville has read the tea leaves! Give it up!

ENOUGH!

What part of "THIS THING IS OVER" can't Hillary understand?

Quit trying to fool yourself.

Clinton calls this aggressive?!

Ok… she's gone bonkers.

She is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!

Last gasps of a drowning candidate. Just…stop….for….the…good….of….the….party.

Ugh!

This is the kinda ish-talking that gets Obama backers upset. Don't talk to us about having Hillary Clinton on the ticket as VP because it's a FARCE. She would no sooner have Barack Obama come down with food poisoning if she thought she could be President while he was in bed. She's NOT in it for the country. Or her party. She's in it for HERSELF. GAWD! It baffles me the blinding support this woman gets.

And quickly, do you kknow if she won even at 80 - 20 tonight she'd take the number of delegates at 23 -5? I mean…she's LOSING BY OVER 150! IT'S OVER!

NO CLINTON!

'Aggressive race'? She lies again… Wow! She is so desperate… IT'S OVER, HON!!! Who cares ?

I think the day after Hillary Clinton loses the nomination, she will file for divorce from her husband Bill.

Therefore, this election year will be a win-win for Bill Clinton!

The Clinton crew are such liars!!!!! This weekend all her campaign managers were on all the weekend shows PO'd because Obama wasn't competing in WV. Which is it Timmy two face????????

Does this woman ever stop lying??? Obama ran an aggressive campaign? He barely spent time in the state. He knows the hearts and minds of those people…the ones that think Hillary is one of them (Has she offered them any of her and Bill's $109 million?) BTW, if that's the amount they are admitting, how much do you suppose they really have?

Continue your nasty campaign, the train is going to leave you. Jump on it now and support the democratic ticket of Obama/Napolitano. Tell Clinton to go back to the Senate, lest she loses her own seat.

wow……I can't help but feel sorry for her

I see where her fight is coming from, beign that she has worked so hard for this for years, but I really believe its time to unite the party

either way, she will go down in history as a tough lady, and God Bless her

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha ha ha….

…HA HA HA HA HA….

…hehe…

*sigh*

One visit in the past few weeks is about as aggressive as their combined effort to win Guam. Nice try, spinners…

Terry McAuliffe clearly stated on one of the cable news channels, just this morning, that Obama did NOT compete in WV and chastised him for that. Hillary- you CAN"T have it both ways. Please stop with the spin. You are OUT now.

So what you are done hillary you can spin and spin as much as you want but the facts would not change as it stands now you are 180 delegates behind, you are 800K behind in popular vote and Obama won twice as much states, he is aheard in superdelegates vote, as a result you are "Toast".

Hillary's mom: Hillary, did you break the vase?
Young Hillary: No mom, Obama did it.

Obama spent one day in WV…and he's aggresively campaigning there, eh??? (sorry Canadian accent)

By the way Hillary, when you lose you are NOT welcome in Canada!

Yeah, we all remember how fiercely Obama has been campaigning in WV …WHAT?? She accused him of not caring about the state and now she says this?? Don't insult our intelligence Senator Clinton!!
More lies, more spin, more depressing politics from Hillary

I understand her need to continue to portray herself as a viable candidate and that this is a real race. But if Senator Clinton is to have any shot at being on the ticket with Obama as his VP choice, her campaign needs to stop these backhanded slaps at Obama, and stop it today! Aggressive campaign, when he first visited West Virginia yesterday? Do they think ANYONE is actually swallowing that garbage? Oh right, the same people who believe in the gas tax relief boondoggle.

LMAO!!!! Someone get Hillary a dictionary so she can look up the word "aggressive"!

CNN – Please Post or do you want a divided party?
People…I am guilty of bashing. Yes, I can admit it. But we all are. It is time to stop blaming each other. Both sides did it. It wasn't just the Obama supporter or just the Clinton supporters. IT WAS BOTH SIDES.

We need to get past the he said, she said playground justice and focus on the real issue…KEEPING MCCAIN out of the White House.

As I said before, I am guilty. I bashed on both sides. I started supporting one candidate and later changed sides. Who I support doesn't matter because their stand on the issues is almost identical.

Rush wants us to continue to bash and to keep us weak because he knows we could get anyone elected if we stood together. He fears US…A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

So let's leave the name calling and finger pointing to the children on the playgrounds and act like adults. Once again, me included.

Let's end the negative and focus on the challenge…Beating McCain.

This is my pledge. Who stands with me?

whats the problem. he ran aggresive or not is no one's business. clinton says she wants to win so just win and stop whining over nothing. u trying to draw antention. this is not news its silly season.

Grasping at straws.

who cares ,just 28 delegates typical of cnn ,lets wait 4 something bigger and see where the clinton people put their mouth

Spin… Spin… Spin…..Thats all the Clinton Camp knows how to do…..

seems to me they are afraid the numbers wont match the polls……..

Clinton will win W V…by how much??….thats anyones guess…………

wont help……….She can not catch up to Obama

Time to bow out gracefully Hillary………Show us your real strength and start to wind down your campaign and acknowledge Barack Obama as the Democratic Nominee.

post my comment please

Bye bye Clinton legacy, bye bye….

Didn't he concede WV two weeks ago?

I would like to know why it is perfectly acceptable for the media to declare this race over and in effect tell Mrs. Clinton to sit down. How dare you declare a winner before all votes have been cast and all voters a chance to speak out for their choice.

Obama's lead?
pledged delegates; approx. 160-170, that's before today's WVa vote
superdelegates; 4
popular vote; less than 500,000 with nearly 5 million expected votes yet to be cast

CNN and other news agencies should stop playing king-maker. Disgraceful!!

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE MODERN DAY GEN GEORGE PICKETT.

HEADING FOR THE WOODEN FENCE WITH NO HOPE OF VICTORY.

YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08,12

Obama's failure to win in Appalachia means about as much as Clinton's inability to win in the West.

I love how all the "if not Hillary then McCain" fools are saying that Obama can not win in November. As she could, Look there is a reason why she is not winning the election you morons and you think she could win in November. She cant even win the primary.

Are you kidding me? The Clintons do not know when to stop. They are true poor sports who cannot admit defeat. They will still be on the field screaming and hollering after all the fans and the other team have left the park and the lights are turned off. As far as I'm concerned stay on the field as long as you want. The longer you stay the more iditoic and foolish you look and that will go down in your legacy.

West Virginia and Kentucky will give us the percentage votes for Obama if he is the nominee in November. Truth is three groups of pepole won't vote for him…sorry that is the facts.

Poor Bill, has to put up with this every day, for the rest of his life, and I thought I had it tough.

Absolutely Delusional!

WE ARE DEPENDING UPON YOU!

COME AND VOTE WITH YOUR TRUE INTUITION ABOUT THIS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY…

AMERICAN IS AWAITING, YOUR VOICES TO BE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR….
HILLARY R. CLINTON 2009 PRESIDENT…. THANK YOU OREGON

No one cares about West Virginia! Go away already, Hillary! People are sick and tired of you!!!

She tries to play on ignorant or uninformed people who don't read the newspaper or watch the news on TV. Since when has taking several days off before a primary been considered "aggressive?"

What a sore loser!

Hillary Clinton is a very funny woman. Her campaign spins EVERYTHING!!! She will stop at nothing to be President. She doesn't to run the country, she wants the title. With a husband like Bill Clinton, one of the best presidents in modern history, do people really think that Hillary Clinton will be doing the work?!?!?! That's absurd. She needs to have a seat and start getting her supporters to back Obama, who is CLEARLY the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

OBAMA '08!!!!!!

Yeesh.

First, they say that he made only one campaign appearance in the state and use that as evidence that he doesn't care about West Virginia.

In the next breath they say he mounted an "agressive campaign."

Which is it?

I guess it depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

So why does CNN report that Obama did NOT
campaign there?
One of these two is lying!

To Obama Supporters:

I have posted the same type of comments for days!!!!

Once again the Obama supporters can not stop hating on Hillary. It really makes it difficult for Hillary supporters like myself to support Obama's campaign. I have alot of respect for Obama but I made a difficult choice between two great candidates and decided to support Hillary. I will continue to support her as long as she is in the primary race.

Obama will get my vote in November if he is the nominee but I will not feel good about working on a campaign that has bloggers like this.

I am glad they point out to obvious all the time. We will not be held captive to the undereducated racist anymore. I respect all people and education levels. But this is the time to try to make things better.

OMG! I gotta love it. He spends one day there…yesterday…and now he ran an agressive race? I would be curious to know exactly how much was spent by the Obama campaign no radio and TV advertisement in WV…….I am sure it wasn't a significant amount……

Obama and his pundits have stolen the presidency from Hillary Clinton just like Bush stole the presidency from Gore. The democratic party is just like the republican party. Hillary go independent and forget about the democractic party. A lot of people will support.

LOL!!!!

That's all I can say!!!

Has it come down to this, Hillary?? How sad and pathetic!

Please go AWAY!

HOW CAN YOU ARGUE THAT YOU ARE MORE ELECTABLE THAN THE PERSON THAT IS BEATING YOU!!!

She probably should have withheld that little tidbit until the votes are counted. She's going to look like a donkey if the margin of loss is not as much as she thinks it is going to be.

We need a VP with integrity, not a Queen or any of her Court.

Well once again as you can see the kiddies are out in force!

By the way for the blog that closed, I don't want HRC on any ticket with obama because I will vote for no slate that has him on it.

She did not even have to show up in WV and she would win…come on…ENOUGH ALREADY!!

These guys should sell AMWAY products! They are very good at selling!!

Stand
Strong For
Change!

OR

Fall Hard
for the Same!

Haha! All the OBAMA-MANIACs are getting scared! I Love it! GO HILLARY GO!

Really, CNN? This is just a bunch of Clinton campaign rhetoric. It's no wonder she's stayed afloat for this long, with folks like you guys helping her out

For all the Obama supportes! you think that Obama will win in November? dream on , he will lose against Mc Caine , is the truth!!! Why you guys of Obama you can't digest????

oh yes,
do you know why Hillary is even close to the popular vote,
becasue the caucus states (5 of them) did not count as a popular vote

SO STOP THIS CRAP

you want to run Hillary, ge be Naders or Bob Barrs VP.

I had no idea Rockefeller was from WV!! The media should be highlighting that. I thought he had no one in that state but Rockefeller has been campaigning for him since February. Plus the Clinton campaign has a point I heard he had over 20 offices statewide and he outspent her 3 to 1 in WV. Don't tell me the voters don't know him enough. He's known worldwide, the WV voters know him just as much as anyone else.

Obama supporters I wouldn't brag this information if I were you afterall he is only running to become the President of the USA. LOL LOL LOL

So you are allsaying WV does not COUNT. Wow!!!!! Nothing more needs to be said.

Hillary 08

Ever since news became a money-making proposition, CNN and others stand to profit from attracting viewers. Stories like this one only serve to keep this race alive and therefore generate ratings for CNN, much like the other networks use racy material during sweeps.

That is the only context in whic this campaign coverage makes any sense. There is no true "repoting" of the facts and circumstances. People read there's still a race, so like sheep they keep tuning in to CNN to find out what happened. This race has been over for weeks, if not months.

An "agressive campaign"? One visit is an "agressive campaign"? Please turn off the stupid juice in the clinton campaign's water supply

You're kidding..right???!!

everyone—including clinton and her camp—knows these losses dont mean a thing. yes, it would have been nice to win, but it doesnt matter that he didnt. obama is the democratic nominee.

as for having her as his VP. part of me thinks it's a terrible idea cuz i'd love to see richardson or edwards (my #1 choice for pres) as obama's VP. however, the MOST IMPORTANT thing is that we DO NOT have a republican president! so whatever it takes to send mcsame back home to be cindy's nightmare again and not ours!!!!!

yes Obama has outspent Hillary i every way.

He conceded three says ago and visited ONCE.

On Fox Networks Sunday program Howard Wolfson said that Obama was not campaigning agressively in West Virginia or Kentucky- which one is it?

The Clinton camp must be getting ready for either a loss or only a close win in West Virginia. Either case it's not what they expected by what they deemed "hard working whites." Hillary would have spent even more than she did in WV only she doesn't have the money. And we all know the saying, "Show me the money!" The only person whose willing to invest money in a losing cause is Hillary because nobody wants to invest their money in her, only her. If Obama loses WV then it won't be unexpected. The Obama camp predicted they would lose WV, but what's going to be interesting is if it's closer than predicted and even better if he actually wins. Obama for President!

I thought hillary's campaign and her staff were saying that Obama didn't pay WV enough attention….NOW she's saying that he ran an "aggresive" campaign….just WOW…..this is why people don't like her, she is such a liar and has no integrity.

That's it!
She's a nut case and the Dems who think she would be a good VP must be delusional as well.

OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN!!!

HE IS A LOSER!!

HIS BACKERS ARE LOSERS!!!

TED KENNEDY IS A LOSER!!

JOHN KERRY IS A LOSER!!

ALL LOSERS!!

um…or he made a speech over a week ago practically conceding WV and KY…which is why he has been campaigning in other states.

I don't understand the need for twisting and lies…

LOLOLOLOLOLOL PulEEEZZZZZZ She is so trying to make it look like Obama even thought for ONE Nanosecond that he had a chance in WV so she can pump up her win LOL C'Mon Billary!!! The whole WORLD knows who lives there and there is NO WAY they would have voted for him. Get over yourself. WE HAVE!!

Unfortunately for all you Obama supporters who don't want to see the TRUTH.

Yes, Clinton will not be the nominee, but what does that say for Obama???

HE CAN'T WIN, even though he has this nomination in the bag.

This is not Clinton, it is the VOTERS in West Virginia and Kentucky.

Good Luck with Clinton supporters in the FALL!!!

One campaign event isn't exactly aggressive…and the Obama camp shouldn't be PENALIZED for being better organized, both with manpower and campaign finances. In fact, shouldn't the person flush with cash and supporters be considered a better "ground up" Presidential candidate?

Fact of the matter is, it's not a very SMART constituency in WV. (That's a fact, not an insult).

Hillary's done very well with the less intelligent voter. And the older voter resistant to change of ANY kind.

But If that is the constituency that REALLY should decide our Presidency, then this country has more problems ahead well beyond John McBush McCain or Hillary "lowest common denominator" Clinton.

The democratic nominee is nominated by delegates, don't forget…Obama has a virtually insurmountable lead in the only measuring stick the party uses for the nomination. Sorry Popular Voter conspiracy theorists–those are the rules.

Oooops…that's right…they only apply if they BENEFIT the Clinton machine.

What a joke… Why continue to make such silly arguments?

I don't know what is more laughable, that Hillary cared about Florida and Michigan all along (even though she agreed to the punishment in the beginning), that Puerto Rico popular vote should put her over the edge (Puerto Rico doesn't have a vote in the general), or this non-sense.

Does she think that if she repeats 'he's not electable' often enough it might come true? Is she trying to convince the electorate or herself?

Hang around through June 3, HIllary. It's your right. But please, do so with some dignity and without trashing your opponent.

It will be over in November when the fat elephant sings and McCain beats Nobama. Obama can't win in November without Hillary. I won't vote for him without her. Noway.. No how. Nobama..

The Clinton camp is what sickens me about politics. It was widely expected that Obama would get trounced in W. Virginia. Now,, with a primary defeat certain, the Clinton camp wants to say "Obama gave it his best in W.V. He was aggressive. Yet, the people have said 'you can't win Obama.'" How ridiculous. If she doesn't win by 30-40 points, I'd say she lost W.V.

Is her camp whining again? He's been campaigning in other states all week, I'd hardly call his WV campaigning "aggressive" - and she also has every demographic advantage… more so than in her other "big win" states

PA - Obama brought her 20pt lead down to 9.5 even with 3 controversies going on and her having every demographic advantage, 3 campaigners (her, Bill, Chelsae), bigger backing in the states but less money

NC - Hillary brought his 20 pt lead down to 14

IN - Hillary obtained a 4-8 pt poll advantage but came out with a ~2 pt win which "may" have been helped by 7% of her votes being Republican which may have been trying to keep the race going

Primary results are MUCH different than Dem vs Rep in the fall. Additionally, we've all seen how off Polls can be - I'm amazed how much weight her camp places on "some" but not others.

Will Obama's win in Oregon and Montana mean that Hillary can't get the people in those states to vote for her so we will lose those states in November. Get a life…one state has no bering on the november election…especially WV.

Ok…for all those saying if Obama is the nominee you will vote for McBush…how stupid…that we be like me saying if Hillary won I would vote for McBush…are you democrats or not…

I find it very sad and somewhat pathetic that Sen. Clinton feels the need to continue to build a case for the Republicans in the general election or that her supporters would rather vote for four more years of McBush than vote for Sen. Obama. I trust this nastiness is only because of the heat of the moment.

Sen. Obama won this nomination because the majority of Democrats support who he is and what he has to offer, not because we have "turned our backs on Hillary".

I pray she will stop this madness soon and wholeheartedly support and campaign for Sen. Obama. Anything less will terribly diminish her authority within the party. Let's put the nation first and come together behind our new Democratic nominee. Pres. Obama will begin to imrove this country on Day One.

Let us heal and come together.

The most intellligent people on this earth are the rural Farmers who know how to manage - they have common sense which Washington does not have. Washington is a selfish greedy bunch.
College kids these days are easily manipulated too.
Kentucky and WV will tell us how the nation goes in November. Include Pennsyvania, Ohio, Indiana w/that as well.
I don't care who wins as am retired and if it is they want Dems to raise the tax to the moon, so be it. You guys can pay for it.

We need a good independent as none of these candiates are worth much more than a brush of the hand.
JOhn B
Mn

He didn't even make an appearance until Monday, (yesterday)

why?????? Just stop already, I can't take it anymore, she's making my head hurt.

Oh, my God! She is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!
No respect! She`s so ugly! It seems to me Clinton even does not respect herself. The madwoman.

Me thinks the Clinton campaign should use every free press moment to speak for themselves.

Hillary should be congratulated for her pending victory in WV - well earned. This being said, to say that Barack aggressively campaigned in WV is just another example of why people have issues with hillry and her tendency to stretch the truth. She beat Barack in the state fair and square, don't make it out to be anything more than that. Why lie or stretch the facts when the truth will do just as well?!?!

What is the meaning of aggressive. seems like the whole Clinton camp is losing some marbles not to mention dropping stitches like an old sewing machine. The media is to be blamed for printing such rubbish. SHAME ON YOU CNN! SHAME ON YOU for turning the knife in deeper. When it isn't Lanny Davis like he has lost his tail is James Carville the Clinton campaign pit bull talking pure S**t. I want to puke.

What a lot of crap by you NOBAMA crybabies. Remember it ain't over til is over. Do not underestimate the voters in this situation

Hillary's determination despite the results is troubling as a possible candidate for Vice Presidency and really for any Presidency. Is this how she would run the country? - pushing her own agenda never listening to other voices besides her own. I am so disappointed in her.

What is the different………..Hilllllllllllllllll

Either way this win is insignificant and futile.

At least it is not tinted.

The drive-bys are already trying to discount WV by showing a low percentage are college graduates. Why would that bother the Dems? It really doesn't matter if Hussein or Billary gets it, McCain is looking so weak right now he couldn't beat either. He's pandering to the global warming hoax and environmentalists. We'll never tap our own oil reserves and become foreing oil independent.

He was there like what 3 times??

Yeah right…he barely ever campagined there….you wanna know why….because its over…..got that???? It's over!

More spin from the Clinton camp

WHat difference does it make, really, if hrc wins wv with a big margin. With only 28 delegates at stake who cares. Yes dems will like to win West virginia in Nov, but this is not going to give you the nomination. You are making a great case for the vp slot, which i think you should do.

Hrc never cared about the small states, all of a sudden you are now championing small states because you are desperate.
give me a break.

what a liar!! No wonder she's lost her bid for the white house.

So the Hillary camp is saying this primary season and the voters who support her highlights Senator Obama's weakness? So the people who support her are the elderly and uneducated. Well, please, let's have them pick the next president. By all means.

First of all he's been in the state like twice and he's not even watching the results there. How aggressive has he been - really? And does that include all that free press that you've been getting about how WV will be a slam dunk for you?

Second of all, how troubling is a loss in WV when no one ever ever ever thought that he'd get more than 30% of the vote? We get it Hillary - poor uneducated white voters support you more. And guess what state is last in median income and 48th in adults with a high school diploma….

Seriously? Every time she opens her mouth it is nothing but spin. Some people say they aren't sure where Obama stands, but at least he doesn't reshape every single statistic!!!!

What we haven't heard from the Clintons is just what we haven't heard!
And it is coming!

Everyday my respect i had for the Clinton diminishes bit by bit …..

i was considering her as VP .. but she lies to much ……..

NEXT!!!!!

She treated Obama like he was a Republican .. Obama treated her with the utmost respect & he prevailed FAIR & SQUARE …………….

IS THIS THE TRUE CLINTONS WE ARE SEEING NOW ……….. ???????

Oh yeah… it's REALLY a bad sign if Obama loses a state that contains 99.9% uneducated white people. Oh wait… isn't that precisely Hillary's key demographic? Yeah, I think if he loses WV, he must be REALLY screwed in November….

I do not understand why OBAMA supporter is trying to FORCE he out of race? By NO MEASURE , Mr. Obama has won the race, he is ahead of her.

I admire Hillary and by tryimg to Force he out, you are ignoring all her supporter who is still coming to vote for her.

let the race be over, Mr. OBAMA get that magic number. Is this not how it is to be decided. Agreed, both have their merit, even Mr. Mccain has.

Thanks

I can't stand Hillary anymore!!! Just go home already!!! We need to focus on McCain.

Hillary go bye bye already!!!! You are hurting the Democratic Party with your selfishness!!! No matter what the Hillary Clinton Camp do, Obama is the winner, enough with the BS already!!!

When are you going to stop showing all the stupid things HRC and her campaign are saying??? There is so much crap coming from them and you fall for it all…

She is just throwing her money away and this shows leadership?

This has nothing to do with the article, just a fact. Obama DID NOT vote regarding the Iraq war as he was not even in the senate at the time. He has always OPPOSED the Iraq war. Please get your facts straight. By the way, it's spelled "loser" not "looser". And there are differences between McCain and Bush so please stop with the McBush, McSame digs. You claim there can be differences between Dems but not differences between Republicans. Hypocrites.

vaw.. obama supporters are screaming in here, in their own house.. LOL

CNN you just moved off my home page tabs list. Your Shameless one sided promotion of Hillary Clinton has become so Blatant I cannot continue to pretend you are just covering the news. I am not alone but we have determined that you don't care anyway. So much for integrity in the news media. You make Fox look fair and impartial.

THERE THEY GO AGAIN!! HOW IS SPENDING ONE DAY IN THE STATE, AGGRESSIVE?

SHE, HER LYING HUSBAND AND CHELSY HAVE BEEN IN THE STATE FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. SHE EVEN CAMPAIGNED ON MOTHERS DAY. AT LEAST BARACK TOOK TIME O UT FOR HIS FAMILY TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH THEM. I SUPPOSE BILL HAD A DATE AND IT WAS NO NEED FOR HILLARY TO JOIN HIM

HILLARY GET OVER IT AND STOP ALL THE SPIN AND THE LIES. THIS IS NOT BOSNIA……

Superdelegates are not buying this illogical argument. Obama has the momentum and the superdelegate. You got none. Safe face please.

FYI: On Feb 5th, the Republicans had the first part of their primary election. On the day that McCain essentially wrapped up the nomination, here was the results from West Virginia:

Huckabee: 52%
Romney: 47%
McCain: 1% !!!!!!!!

If Obama gets 2% then he will have done better in WV than McCain.

Hellllloooooooo Spinmeisters!!!!!!!!!

What world does the Clinton camp live in?? They can't even stick to the truth with an event that won't change any of outcome. I wonder can they handle the truth? Evidently they have been lying so much they have gotten caught up in their own lies. And this is the experience they keep pushing down our throats.

It is time for her to Bag-It.

Spin, spin, spin all you want camp Clinton. This race is over!

Aggressive…..First they said he took the state for granted by not going. WHEN WILL IT END!

Ummmm… So she wants the VP spot? He's campagined aggressively in WV? Why is she still lying? I really don't understand her. I'm trying to warm up to the idea as not to disenfranchise all of you supportors of Hillary.

But Guys… Do you want the Democratic party to lose the election all in the name of Hillary? Do you want the Democrats to blame her and make her the scapegoat because you woudn't support the party after she lost? Is that what Hillary wants? I don't think so.

I do think she's being lead by blind ambition right now but once it's over she's going to rally with the party. I think she'll feel shame and regret if she got you guys to hate Obama that much that you're willing to vote for McCain.

There will never be enough write in's to get her elected president, either. Come on now…

Why is it that every state that Hillary is expected to win is somehow a Crucial state? and when Obama is expected to win…it's because of the large African American community? Caucuses don't matter, but Puerto Rico does? She herself stated "Flordia and Michigan broke the rules, so they are not gonna count"…she also stated after New Hampshire…"It's a delegate race". She is hilarious…and is more of a flip flop then John McCain. No WAY should Hilary be allowed to join the ticket. It's time for a change. If Obama needs to worry about the so called "Hard Working-Blue Collar White" vote..(as if the african american blue collar vote isn't hard working)…Then I suggest he take an honorable White running mate who has integrity. Hilary has no integrity…….and think about this……after what she's implied…do you REALLY think the african american community is going to support her should she become the candidate?…I was on board despite all else until her latest comments. I'm not about race or separation…but I can't in good conscience vote for her. I'll vote NADER, or BARR first.

What??? I thought Obama hardly even tried, and that reinforced the impression among some Clinton supporters that he's arrogant and doesn't care about a small state such as West Virginia. More grasping at straws from the losing campaign, I guess. One of the most fallacious arguments that we've seen in recent weeks, is that what happens in the primaries is somehow reflective of what will happen in the general election. This is just a continuation of that.

The truth is, from a campaign strategy point of view, anyone in Obama's shoes would be stupid to pour resources into West Virginia. It's a losing cause and the stakes are so low anyway. His campaign is better off continuing to reinforce his delegate lead in states such as Oregon, and starting to work on the general election. Even the intellectually dishonest Clinton supporters who dismiss him as being arrogant for doing these things, would do the same if they were in his position. So would Hillary.

Has someone tested her for drugs??? I mean honestly. She is normally too intelligent and poised to say half of the dimwitted crap that has come out of her mouth the past few weeks - from racist comments to a total loss of reality on the math.

I like HRC but she is beginning to really hurt herself and her image.

MCCain 08

Yes, CNN you to need wake up and understand that this is over. You need to start being positive and stop encouraging the Clintion people on giving them all false hope. Get real

Someone please give her the meds!! She is suffering from a psychological condition referred to as 'denial'…..

Should we really beat a dead horse??????? Everyone knows it's over, in all fairness, WV will make no significant difference in her numbers. I wonder if ignoring her rhetoric rants and constant crying will do more damage……maybe just maybe she'll anounce her withdrawal from the race to an applause. Even her supporters who don't have much education and old-er people have sense enough to know she is over. Someone needs to pull her aside and have a "Come to Jesus" talk!!!!!!!!

Losing the state = not electable?

Is it just me or is she suffering from mental problems?

Listen Bridgette-PA, it don't matter what Hillary dose because Obama will never be president!!!!!! He just can not win against Mc Cain!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

We all know that she is going to win WV so why Clinton people are complaining? “Obama has outspent us on advertising, has more staff in the state, and more than double the number of offices…” Is Obama asked Clinton team not to spend, have more staff and offices in the state? These arguments should not be taken in consideration by the press since we both know that at the beginning of this campaign Hillary was the one who has more advantage than anyone else. Can this people focus on the result and stop to play low?

I think it would be funny if she won by a smaller margin.

You have got to be kidding me he has only held what 2 small events there compared to the dozens he held in the other states. I mean the Clinton campaign have been lying or should I say spinning as they like to call it everything these day's. I wonder what they are going to say at Sen Obama's inauguration " We are allowing him the privilege of going through the event however Sen Clinton will actually be taken over after the village idiot leaves"

These people are out of there minds! there is Delusional then there is the Clinton campaign!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Party's own worst enemy. She is once again lying to the American public, dispensing false information, and inflicting damage to Obama, who is without a doubt her Party's presidential nominee. I am really beginning to believe that Hillary Clinton's Party is the Hillary Clinton Party, not the Democratic Party. The superdelegates need to get her out quick. If the behavior of her and her campaign continue through another 5 primaries, she will cause irreparable damage to the Democratic Party's chances of being successful in November. That is obviously her goal.

Aggressive????????????????!!!

That is insane!!

How can people fall victims of this Mad woman??

White, Hispanic, Blue-Collar, Non-Educated people need to wake up!!

Again, Political Pandering and Lies at its best.

Nooo, I don't want this woman for V.P., thanks but NO thanks!

Whine, whine, whine. This reminds me of the Indiana primary and she won by less than 2 percent. I guess Hillary will find out that money can't buy everything. I bet she didn't count on it not buying an election. Why does she think white blue collar and white seniors and women only live in WV. They live in the entire country. The country that Obama has won 30 of the 50 contests so far, including 5 of 12 primaries where blacks made up less than 10% of the voters. He also won in caucus states that are overwhelmingly white – places like Iowa, Idaho and Wyoming.

Are you kidding me? CNN, what happened to fact checking your own stories / posts. A non-thinking person might actually believe you condone today's fantasy from Clinton's campaign staff.

“Aggressive campaign” in WV by Obama? Man, I wish I knew what those campaign staffers are smoking! If today wasn't May 13th, I'd swear her campaign was trying to play another April Fools joke.

lies lies lies

she has no end to the rope of lies
they just keep coming
and she is so desperate she thinks if she can make people beliee she is ahead it will be. she is the only one who can't face the numbers.
she is trying to destroy obama so she can win in 2012. well superd. said today she can't beat mcsain because of the negative she has put out. she has lost respect from ever one except the people who are elderly and she scares them in to believing her.

cnn please post this
i am tired of being kicked out

I dont it…..Hillary needs to cut it out and give up it is wrecking her image and smahing her chances at VP.When Carville says that
Obama is going to be the nominee I MEAN COME ON the only question now is when will Bill help her face the facts and stop lying to herself and the rest of the voters.

She thinks if she wins the popular vote somehow the DNC will
have no choice but to nominate her but the nomination is on the
count off pledged delegates which is the rule she is trying to change
she will inddeed try to play the people against the DNC and Obama
if she does not get the nomination just watch.The sad part is that she
will not win the popular vote either…..

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

That is a very good reason why you, Hillary should not run as VP on the Obama ticket. West Virginia is another in a long line of primaries that Obama lost, including the big states. Obama needs to stand and fall on his own. The Party put him in there instead of you by manipulating behind the scenes - and notoriously, by refusing the count the votes of Florida and Michigan. Go back to New York, serve the people and run for Governor if you would like that job. Obama got the nomination by Party chicanery, not by the Democratic process. The Party and Obama both deserve to lose the election. And McCain is the better choice.

Hillry seems so bitter and hateful. Begala on your network is worthless. Have a nice day

Her spin is more dramatic than the Myanmar cyclone.

So, you will win and that will change the minds fo the superdelegates? Any superdelegate who will decide on the results of WV is a liar. He or she has made his or her mind already.

Obama will declare victory on the 20th.

God bless Obama!!!

I think Rebecca Sinderband needs to write about how Obama is going to become the nominee instead of all this BS.

Will you show this or not?????

still for obama is right.

He did not stay in WV. One visit does not constitute competition.

Oh what a web we weave-

Unite the party- its over

I wounder if he can get these people to vote in general? I think McCain will win

Clinton is again trying to reframe the circumstances to make her victory more impressive.
All those saying they are true Democrats and will not vote for Obama, but for McCain instead: how do you spell hypocrisy?!?! Obama and Clinton are closer in idealogy than either are to McCain. Why will you not vote for Obama? If experience is the only answer then look back at previous presidents with all of their experience and see what that has gotten us. I'm very afraid that the problem is that Obama is a black man with a name of middle eastern origin.
If there are true policy issues with Obama, then back it up with fact. Not gut feelings, prejudice, and propaganda.

You have to be kidding me!

Why is this even news? I mean no offense, but any objective person should be able to see right through this one. Why even dignify it with a headline? This is a joke. Not even a funny one,it's one of those that make you feel bad for the poor sap whose repeating it.

Agressive?? He barely showed up!

Maybe he should have better prepared himself for West Virginia by first speaking in front of a somewhat friendlier crowd - like a Klan rally, or something.

Those mad Osama supporters need to shut up, and look at the facts. the person is spinning about WV result is your Osama.

This race is not over, Osama has not got the required vote! if you call the superball when Patriots got the lead in late 4th quater, Giants will never got the chance to win.

Be a man, Osama, win the race, don't ask others to hand you the race; why did you call the quit when you trail after super Tuesday?

Democrats is about to screw up again, for whatever reason, they are about to pick the inexprienced weak candidate over a true leader, if Osama does steal the race, McCain will be the president!

aggressive?!….see….just when you try to extend a kind hand to old girl, she comes out with this outrageous lie. he went to one campaign event, and she calls it aggressive….

I take it back, it can't even hold my nose and have her on the ticket as VP.

Whichever way you spin it ,Obama is no longer on the same page with Hillary. She should as a matter of start to address Obama as Mr. President. Case closed.!!!!

Canada for Obama

Hilary is a broke gambler. Now she wants to carry on until her campaign debt is paid off.

And again the old crone has to spin in her useless logical fashion.

Obama and his staff, even his supporters knew that he wouldn't win WV. The same can be said for Kentucky but that's next week's issue.

Hillary should know that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but she can't fool all of the people all the time.

OBAMA IS A WEAK CANDIDATE ..

Agressive campaign? Who does she think she's kidding? That's a serious question, because if there is someone out there who believes it then I've got a Nigerian friend who's looking to invest in a US company.

NO VP spot for the H-Monster. Please Barack, for the good of the Party! Keep the Clinton-Beast out!

Ok you have no more money to spend. That means if Obama spent money on 10 ads he sure will have out spent you 10 to 1. What kind of spin is this? You've camped in W V all of last week pandering.

someone is definately lying and i know who it is but i am not saying.

Give me a break,the man was here 2 times.She and her family have lived here for over 2 weeks.

GEEZ HE TRIES TO GIVE HER ONE AS A GOODBYE PRESENT AND SHE THROWS IT BACK IN HIS FACE. WHAT A JOKE.

Obama supporters need to argue somewhere else, not CNN blog. It sounds like Dog barking at the people from his own backyard.

More lies from Clinton?

CNN just loves the bickering among the two camp's supporters. Hillary will never stop until you stop, so stop CNN–for the good of the country, not your ratings.

wow.
i am now sure this evil wicked woman is crazy
i actually felt sorry for her last week
and to say this?
does she think the american people are foolish?
this woman must never hold any public office.
these people are crazy
i am getting sick and tired of this rubbish already

America May 13th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I think the day after Hillary Clinton loses the nomination, she will file for divorce from her husband Bill.

Therefore, this election year will be a win-win for Bill Clinton!

LOL!!! The only reason she stayed with him and ran for NY senate was to get the white house. This chick is so power hungry it is ridiculous.

Thank you Hillary you are right. I cannot believe the Democrated Party is doing this to us. Half of the people wants Hillary to win and Half wants Obama. The DNC haven't even counted Michigan and Florida's votes either. I think it is so unfair to select Obama and he hasn't even won. I think i'm going to change my party to Independent. The professionalism the Democrated Party has shown is so sad. They are trying not to count all of the votes. They are going to select an inexperience empty suit wearing guy that is scared to debate against Hillary. If he is scared to debate her how is he our strongest candidate to beat Mccain. The DNC is bascially saying forget all the remaining votes we are going with Obama. It's a sad day in Politics if Obama is their best choice. Obama will lose in the General Election to Mccain and I cannot wait to say I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Many of Hillary’s feminist supporters have proudly proclaimed that they would vote for John McCain when Obama wins the nomination.

I wonder if they would feel so high an mighty if they ran the risk of driving over a road-side bomb on the way to Starbucks in their Volvo.

Unscrupulous Delusional Shameless Liars!!!

How can anyone even stand to listen to her anymore? Everything that comes out of her mouth is one lie after another.

The best argument from a loser I've ever heard.

ROBERT IN TORANTO

YOU ARE RIGHT ON

The GOP is going eat Obama alive in November.Obama has more skeletons in his closet than you can imagine. The Wright controversy isn't going away, the Reznik trial will be heating up and that's just the beginning, those of you in the Windy City know this guy is "dirty". Way to go Dems, three blown shots at the White House!!

Aggressive campaign? While Hillary played the race card in one of the most racist states in the Nation, Obama picked up 27 Super Delegates. The Clinton campaign spin with Wolfson and McAuliffe has become a joke. Who can ever take these people seriously?

There is NO WAY Obama should even consider Hillaroid for Veep. She is NOT TRUSTED by 2/3 of Americans and would only be a burden. In addition, anyone who voted FOR the War in Iraq is automatically disqualified.

See ya Hillary!

Someone, please help me to understand why Senator Clinton's campaign continues to incur debt in her run for the Democratic nomination, and simultaneously trying to convince the voters that she can make their lives better by fixing the economy when she becomes President. Campaign vs. United States?!!

Yes, he ran an aggressive campaign. And he closed the gap! End of story. This raises no questions or concerns. Why is it that every race she wins raises concerns, but every race she loses "doesn't matter".

Is Senator Clinton ok??? Has she been having Obama-mares in West Virginia? His campaigning in that state has been far from aggressive—ssems she is seeing Obama every where she goes..LOL poor Hillary- drop out of the race and maybe the Obama-mares will stop

I saw one televised Obama rally in W. VA. The media does not miss many.

Of course this is political spin and it has been done on both sides. We all need to unite, there is no reason to disrepect Senator Clinton or her supporters. All of us are necessary to defeat John McCain in November. Please be aware that most of the attacks on Clinton and Obama and their supporters are being waged by Republicans trying to drive a wedge between the Democratic Party. Don't fall for it - we all must unite.

Barak has been choosen by the great man above to turn this great country around. No powers on earth can stop this man to become our next President. First time I Saw him he reminded me of two leaders. The late John Kennedy and the late Prime Minister of Jamaica Michael Manley.

Ask the almighty for wisdom, knowlege and understanding and he will deliver you.

These negative posts from the Obama supporters are what make many, many Hillary supporters think McCain if we can't have Hillary in 08!!! If these supporters of Obama's are an indication of what his administration will be, God help us!!! HILLARY or MCCAIN!!!!

If Obama going to WV on Monday and running advertisement is aggressive then what do you call spending the last 7 days in WV with yourself and 2 adult family members campaigning for you. Hillary, your spin ability amazes me. First popular votes count but only if you are in the lead, then superdelagates count but only if you are in the lead. It's all based on your prospective. Poor sportsman ship is not worn well by you. I use to admire you so.

Why do all those ricketed old white men want that young black buck

Clearly Obama blew off WV. He was in DC at the HOR last week while Hillary was campaigning. I don't necessarily agree with the strategy, but everyone can agree he shined it. He will need to come back a few times over the summer. Most democrats will not defect because McCain, good guy that he is, does not support most policies democrats care about.

Aggresive…huh how many days did he campaign there… I think the number is 3… Now that's aggressive…

It's not hard to outspend someone when they have no money.

CNN …………you need to see how many viewers will watch the returns this evening. I think that the number of viewers will be dismal when compared to last week and previous primaries. You folks also need to start shutting her down a bit and prepare for Aug and Nov. We have our candidate…..you folks are only encouraging a Candidate who has NO chances and false hopes for voters that may become bitter. While we are trying to unite ….you folks are trying to make news stories out of issues that we have gotten beyond.

What else does Clinton want? Enough is enough…duh.

Marshall,

I hear you, I'm in!!!

I have family and friends in West Virginia. The reason why this state should be a no-brainer for Clinton as well as have no intensive spending by Obama is that this state would NOT vote for a black man. It is still a state that has demographics and background which favor anyone but Obama. The analysts ask why Obama is weak in this state and areas of Pennsylvania and other states…the answer is they would rather not vote for Obama because of his skin. However, this is why its so exciting to see Obama win the nomination…because he WILL change how General Elections are ran and won. This is what the Supers and Democrats should be happy about. Not about how Clinton is trying to exploit this sad fact to get nominated. She is using divisive tactics and she knows exactly what she is doing in bringing out Kentucky folks and WV folks these next couple of weeks. Oh yeah…I used to live in southern Indiana next to Kentucky. They won't vote for Obama either. But we need to look past them and look towards the future. Clinton is basically asking the nation to consider the fact he can't win over ALL white voters, so we should just nominate her. With that approach…a black candidate would NEVER be elected by a party. We need to start somewhere and show the old voters and the old politicians times will change with the younger and educated generation. Step aside…here we come.

Obama 08

Stop trying to CREATE the news rather than reporting it!

It's funny how Clinton now wants to count the Florida and Michigan primary votes when intially she agreed they wouldn't count! The most recent spin is a loss in WV should tell the American voters that Obama won't win the general election. Hahahahahaha……… Actually, there is undeniable quantitative data (delegate votes and increasing superdelegate votes) that proves the Democratic Party doesn't want you Hilary! You don't respect the Democratic Party and it's governing rules. You'll say anything just to be heard i.e. sniper fire, gasoline break, and you win the uneducated white vote (you said it).

Obama/Edwards is clearly the best option for the Democratic Party to truly turn this country around! Congratulations Obama!

Among the 50 states West Virginia is synonymous with ignorance. This is Hillary's constituency. Hillary is an evil woman. She is the paradigm evil lawyer. She got caught perpetrating fraud in the Whitewater scandal. She aint no Bill Clinton.

Sen. Obama had ad running here for months in WV. If he loses by this big number as stated above, he will not the general election at all. WV is a democratic state but gone to Bush twice giving him the white house, if this year Democrats loses this state again then they can only dream about the white house.

THIS IS BEYOND INSANE . CAN THEY BE ANY MORE DESPERATE.

Marshall, I am with you!

France loves Obama.

For most of French, the game is over and Obama is the winner.

OBAMA 08!

here here Marshall!!

she was not outspent, she didnt have any to spend.

MARSHALL

AMEN TO YOU
I AM WITH YOU

What do the polls tell us today………Clinton will reign supreme in West Virginia. (and Kentucky)

That makes complete sense. Uneducated whites are her base. She said it herself. If we want change and progression in this country WV and KY is NOT where we need look.

Appalachia is not kind to those of color. I am from SWPA and this is probably one of the most racist parts of the country.

A democrat doesn't have a chance there in the general election.

PLEASE, the chance of a black man winning in this older, uneducated, poor state is a joke. Clinton couldn't win this either in the general.

The race isn't over until the fat woman in the pants suit sings!

I am so very sick of your comments. Hilary Clinton does not answer to you guys, or to the media. She will stop campaigning when she is good and ready. That is the way elections have been since the beginning. If she chooses to go all the way to the convention you do not have anything to say about it. This race is not going to be decided by the media or be one sided. All the states WILL vote. All of you Obama supporters are just afriad that if justice is played out your flimsy candidate might not get the nomination or if this goes on longer he will fall on his face in some way. You do not have much confidence in him do you!!
