We must unite under one candidate and not disenfranchise any voters. I see how all of you may be upset at the happenings in Florida and Michigan but dont blame it on Obama, he did not veto them, nor should you blame it on the DNC or howard dean. I do believe we should come to an agreement on those states asap however, both candidates agreed that the states were breaking the law.
All clinton supporters who blame obama for "disenfranchising" 2 states, well not counting 4 caucus states is also disenfranchising all who went out to vote as is not counting any of the uncommited votes in Michigan. Please some of the comments by some obama supporters are outrageous, we need to come together as a party under one unifying candidate and that i believe is the one whom the majority of voters have chose Barack Obama 08!!!!
Maybe clinton divisive network wont post this but im just trying to make myself feel better!

If my vote in Florida doesn't count in the primary, I'm sure there are many in Florida and Michigan that will be writing the name of Hillary Clinton on their ballot in the general election. Better yet, maybe she will run as an independent and we can leave our pen at home.

here's the big question. Does puerto rico REALLY determine the popular vote?

Edwards came out again in Larry King Live. He is making his case for a VP. He has chips to help Obama win Penn. and Ohio.

If Hillary is not the nominee, I am voting McCain for General Election, at least with McCain I know what I am getting into.

We Hillary supporters will rain McCain with our vote.

Does any of this really matter. Obama and Clinton are now both damaged goods and neither one will be able to beat McCain in November.

Hillary is the best nominee, everybody talks about white vote, black vote, but how about hispanish. Hispanish loves Hillary , Purto ricans, cubans, mexicans, nicaraguans, colombians americans support hilary! VIVA HILARY

Just like she regrets how she handled health care and just how she regrets supporting the Iraq invasion, I bet that she now regrets supporting the DNC's decision to not recognize Florida and Michigan, and I bet she regrets listening to Mark Penn until it was too late.

I kinda like Hillary, but she has habit of making bad decisions and then covering them up with "if I knew then what I know now."

Sorry, but that's not good enough.

Mr McAuliffe, You left out the State of Oregon, which has a mail-in primary on May 20, 2008. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were just in Bend this weekend and Obama is returning again so we must hold so sway...don't you think.

Obama also, has people in his campaign that have been negotiating with Hamas.
Again Obama shows that he doesn’t have the judgment to lead this country.
If he is so against Hamas he should have let his campaign know!!!!!!
For the past two weeks I keep telling all of you in the blog lets find out why Hamas is for Obama? Now we only know the tip of the iceberg.

At least Hillary doesn’t negotiate with Terrorist.

Ego uber alles.

Hillary – we do not want four more years of Clintonesque politics in Washington. Listen to the will of the people.

Return to the Senate and be a forceful leader for change from within during an Obama presidency.

If you continue on this path toward destruction, the Republicans will certainly take advantage. McCain is ailing, his wife unrelenting in her denial to release tax returns, and the Barr factor only beginning to rear its ugly head.

You alone are the only remaining impediment to success in the general election.

Gees Kirk, the math is in HER favor??? You must have gone to school in Kentucky.

We all know that the Clinton campaign cannot count... How can she say she will be ready on day one when she cannot hold together her own campaign... come on ...she did not have a back up plan.. plan A failed and plan B ...oh what plan B?..

With all due respect to Puerto Rico, this is "Lawyerly-like spin" for Hillary & Team and it makes me ill.

Us blue-collar, hardworking, white americans that fly flags from our porches on Memorial Day tend not to like that stuff.

Don't you get it Terry? Honor & Honesty do count for something.

Gore was to far left and lost, Kerry was to far left and lost, Obama is to far left and ?. I think we know the answer to this. Later Dems.

The fat lady is singing "Obama 08 and 12" to the fat lady from New York that "the party's overrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

This is a great day for Democracy,
Hillary you are a hero, Hell hath no fury!

Hillary 08

Sileshi – what in the world are you talking about?? Smear much for no reason?? Obama supporters need to get a grip. If it's over then why don't you move on and start attacking McCain?? I know it's hard to do but why don't you give it a shot!!

Hi Vera Shabazz:
I understand you are a Obama supporter and you can be fervent about it. But, the chance that Obama got to be a major candidate and most probably a democrate nominee, and most probably the US president in the near future, is because of the greatness of this nation and the greatness of the people, who are Caucasians, African Americans, Asians, Indians, Hispanics, and from many other ethnicities. So, don't bash on any specific ethnic group in general out of your frustration. No one can win this election if there is no general consensus amongs people from all ethnic groups.

America is great because the people are great.

McAuliffe is such a used car salesman! He rants and raves but fails to acknowledge that Barack has a lead using the same rules that Hillary Clinton agreed to last year.

So far the best turnout for a state has been approximately 42% of the eligible voters. "She's a fight" but I want a thinker!

Go Barack '08/12

It's over Hillary. Please unite the party. We respect you, but please see the reality. If we dont unite, we will all face 4 more years of BUSH. Do we want that ? decide for yourself

all this doesnt matter, mccain will win in the general election

Hello all, spin spin spin is all I can say, if Hillary thinks she can still the nomination,, she is sooooooooo focused on the white vote.. she better be worried about the black vote.... she will not get them with the racist comments she has made.... we will make sure she loses to Mc Cain in the fall!!!!!!!!

Hillary wants to change rules whenever changing suits her.

She has shown her true color during the primary. One good thing about the prolonged primary is that we got to know what the two Clintons are really like.

It is hard to believe that some people still fall for Clinton's charade. But, it is the reality out there. Some people resist any change. For many, changing is a danger to their existence. However, the U.S. has enough people who believe that it's time that we changed for the better. Let us move on!

Tired of all these stuff!

The ultimate Clinton hack, Terry McAuliffe. Is that all that's left ?

He is a lunatic that's just keep telling peoples false facts. Clinton should quit and let Obama in so he can save North America from a 3rd bush term.

Why do we have a "Media" or rather a constitutional amendment protecting the media, if all you all do, is present words others say without any attempt at verification?

Any time Sen. Clinton's team talks about the popular vote, it should be made clear that they intend to count votes from MI for Hillary and none for Barack. This is ludicrous.

The United States of America does not need any enemies. We will be brought to our knees by ourselves if we continue to worship ignorance.

Facts are indeed Important.

Clinton cannot win, and she will not win. And this is a good thing. She's finished. She's done. She ran an ugly, bitter campaign, and she's done. I wish someone would just put her out of her bloody misery. She's bad for this country.

Internets and blogs are properties of Obama. So, you have all admire(s) for him. We poor working Americans no time or no knowledge of computer have no chance to express our feelings for Hillary. Let the Democrats favored Obama win nomination with the cost of REAL AMERICANS who have no time to fool arround but to work and work and work for this so called elite and rich.

Let us wait until November, we show our strength-Vote McCaine 2008.

vera, how could you say the media is biased towards the clintons. in case you haven't been reading the new york times, the media is biased towards the "non-caucasian." that may be a foreign idea to you, given that you spend our time on the internet bashing caucasians and then call them cowards. let me take a guess and say that you are not caucasian

You know what's funny? Obama supporters who say that Clinton has no chance of winning, and that her supporters are pathetic. Don't you all need our support if he should happen to win the nomination? It seems like Obama supporters are working really hard to alienate and insult Clinton supporters.

So it seems that her entire campaign is under this dillusion.... It's beyond denial at this stage

B – New York actually if you did some actual research on Obama instead of feeding into Hillary's lies then you will find out how much he really did accomplish, but there's no sense in even having an intelligent conversation with you since you're so brain washed by Hillary's lies that you can't see the truth if it slapped you in the face! Obama is an advocate for Veterans in the senate and has sponsored and cosponsored many bills that has to deal with Veterans benefits. He's an advocate for alternative energy as well. The energy bill that he voted for actually increased taxes on oil companies and increased funding for alternative energy and yes your candidate did not support the bill only because a republican was sponsoring it. Hillary feeds you lies and yet you believe every lie she tells you. At least I researched both candidates unlike yourself. Also please please vote for McCain in November, you're such a whiner.

If Hillary wins the popular vote and she has won the big states where it counts and the democratic party does not give her the nomination, why not make a run as an independent?

Soy Latina y yo vote por Obama.

Viva Obama!

Si se Puede.

I for one would never vote for Obama and I am in the process of moving to Penn. In that now swing state if Obama is th nominee, I will campaign for McCain and help his people pull an upset there. If Obama loses Penn., he's finished. No Democrate can win the white house without carrying Penn. I will not help him get in. Hillary will run again in 2012 and I'll pull for her all over again. That's a promise!

I'm loving this!

I don't want Obama or Chelsea's Momma! Go McCain!

And I KNOW CNN won't publish this!! LOL

To all you Clinton supporters who think her actions over the last few weeks are proof that she is a good leader think about this:

a leader once played up his BS commonalities with the working man
– sound familiar?
he played on the fears of Americans
he told lies to get what he wanted -sound familiar?
and he still won't quit his mistake even though winning is nearly impossible
These are NOT the qualities of a good leader.

All this Obamanista talk about the superdelegates giving it to Clinton is a farce. The SD will have to give it to either Obama or Clinton because neither will have the pledged delegates necessary. So which one can beat McCain should be the issue. If the DNC gives it to Obama, then McCain wins. The DNC will deserve to lose the White House and the Congress because they stupidly allowed New Hampshire and Iowa to extort them to disenfranchise voters in Florida and Mich. If those two states counted as they should, Clinton would have this wrapped up. Also, they DNC stupidly allowed the first "official" primaries or caucuses to be in Iowa, NH, Nevada and South Carolina, all states that lean to red in general elections. The small pockets of Dems in those states are lefty-lefts, so they went for Obama, a person who will get trounced by McCain. Clinton polls better than Obama in large populous states that are needed to win in November.

she is still running? it is her right but what if it is another sqeezer? also is she not running on the race card? and is she not insulting West Virginians by pretty much saying I know you will vote for me because I am white ? well whatever ...desperate times...funny afte rall that junk they threw at Obama he is till standing and she is barely...that is what amazes me...history has already been done by him going this far...nobody can take that away from American history...you are Americans are amazing such a land of contradictions!

This is Not a football game.

you people that won't vote for obama... are just voting for another disaster to happen... YOUR LOSS!

The problem with Clinton Campaign is we have too many people talking in her name and making projections hypothetical projections.
Can she talk and everybody lined up behind her.
Is that the kind of leadership she was going to bring as a president.
She go to the left, Bill go to the right...etc.
Who is the commander in chief?

Ignorant/uneducated voters need to wake up and elect the winning candidate!

Barack Obama 08!

ALL YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS THAT CLAIM YOU WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE ARE COMPLETE FOOLS!!!

YOUR VOTE WILL KILL ROE V. WADE, YOUR VOTE WILL LEAD US TO A COUNTRY RULED BY FEAR MONGERS AND WAR MONGERS!

Like the song says,

"It really doesn't matter"

Hillary would have to win 15 W.V. .............. when there was a race Obama won something like 11 in a row. Here we have Hillary & company making it sound like 1 win is supposed to now magically change everything.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Vote Hillary or McCain, but, never Obama.

The Clinton people remind me of Linus in the pumpkin patch, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. Guess what? It ain't happening, and neither is the nomination for Madame Clinton. What Sen. Obama has accomplished is nothing of astounding. Too bad some people are sour grapes about it.

Besides, would you want someone who couldn't manage their campaign coffers running the economy? No thanks. If that's what experience gets you, I'll stick with Obama.

Barack the Vote '08!

Honest to goodness, this guy is living in a dreamworld. And he is wearing one of the worst rugs on his head that I have seen.

Ignorent/uneducated voters need to wake up and elect the winning candidate!

Barack Obama 08!

B...tell me again what Hillary has done...signed treaties, dodged bullets?

She's a carpet bagger who wondered into NY where she dove into a state of ultra liberals who loved slick Willie and his scented cigars!

Scenario:

If Clinton Wins West Virginia and Kentucky by 60% and wins the next remaining primaries by: 53% in Oregon, 58% in Montana, 61% in Puerto Rico, and 66% in South Dakota..................

She will STILL need 202 Super Delegates to get to 2,025!!

With this same scenario, Obama would only need 66 more delegates to beat Clinton.

I think we know the math is in Obama's favor.

Democrats Unite!

TERRY JUSTS WANTS TO BE PAID, AND THE ONLY WAY IS IF SHE HANGS IN AND GETS MORE DONATIONS TO CLEAR UP HER DEBT AND MAKE PAYROLL.

HEARD HOWARD WOLFSON IS LOOKING FOR BOOK DEALS. THAT SAYS MUCH. TERYY CAN TRY AMERICAN IDOL...NEVER TOO LATE!

Obama & His Campaign Would Like An Early Close To This Historic Primary …. They What Us To Beleive They Have Won ….. Truth Is They Haven't … Hillary Has The Edge Now , And can Win The Primary ….. And YES The Math Is In Her Favor !!!!

Obama 's Campaign Is trying To Buy The Nomination …… Nice try Obama ….. Hillary Will NEVER Sell Out The American People … She's A Fighter , She Will Go The Distance And Will WIN The Nomination For PRESIDENT !!!!!

GO ! HILLARY !!!!!! YOUR THE WINNER !!!!!

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON !!!!!! 2008″

At least she's not letting a minor thing like the fact that she is not getting the nomination stop her from stirring up all this mess....

I'm a Clinton supporter, but Terry needs to get real. As much as I want(ed) Hillary to win, the rules are that the nominee is decided by the delegates and super delegates. The popular vote has nothing to do with it. If Terry thinks it should, then he should have been working, in advance of the primary elections, to change the party rules. I'm not thrilled about Obama, but it looks like he is going to win this thing fair and square. For those Clinton supporters who are posting that they will not vote for Obama, I am curious what their reaction would have been toward Obama supporters refusing to vote for Clinton. Hypocrisy is rampant.

WE DONT WANT A PRESIDENT WITH 20MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DEBT. THATS THE FIRST THING SHE WILL GET BACK IF SHE IS THE NOMINEE.

WAKE UP, OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE...WHY IS THIS SO STRANGE??

I'm missing the point here.
Does winning the popular vote accomplish anything for the Democratic Party OR the country?

What is Hilary's plan for after June 3?

Will Hillary tear the party apart?
Why do they continue to put the election in the other parties pocket?
Is Hillary determined to have the Democratic Party split so they do lose the election? Is her ambition such that she will give four more years to the other party so she can try it again in 4 years?
What kind of leadership is she showing? She is again showing poor leadership or she is not able to make her own decisions and someone else is doing it for her.
Who can really trust her to make good decisions as president when she can't even make the one to stop her campaign?
Is she that blind or does she just not care because it is all about her and what she gets or does not get?
How can anyone still be voting for such a person.
Talk about not understanding the basics.

BREAKING NEWS – I am the new Democratic Nominee!!! I counted all the votes and I have 100% of all votes!!! However, I have changed the rules and only my 1 year old son got to vote!!! Which, of course, he voted for his DAD!!!! or maybe it was just gas, but it doesn't matter I am declaring VICTORY!!! I have more delegates, the most popular votes, and I am not in debt 20 million dollars!!!!

Thi blog as usual wants to brainwash us by showing more pictures of Clinton as if she is the only one running for the presidency. It has been a very much overt operation that you put Clinton's head as if you are trying to hide Obama.

She won't win the popular vote – so the issue is moot. Even if she picks up a 35% advantage over Obama, on average, in WV, KY, and Puerto Rico, and the rest of the states tie, it won't do it. The turnout she would need for a 35% advantage to be enough would be far greater than the turnout in any other state in the race so far. Not going to happen. If she won all 3 by an average of 60%, it's possible. She'll see huge margins in WV and KY, but not 60% margins – and she's probably looking at 10-15% only in Puerto Rico.

She'll only be ahead in the popular vote if you ignore caucus states and count Michigan, where Obama was not on the ballot. Never the less, I have no doubts that they will claim this as some sort of mandate without a hint of irony.

And for all the Clinton supporters bashing the media: This race would have been long over if they media hadn't spent the last 6 to 8 years building up the inevitable Hillary candidacy. If Hillary was ahead by the same margin as Obama has been for most of this campaign, there is no way it would have been portrayed as close as it has been.

how does that change anything? last time I checked, it's all about delegates and Clinton is almost down by 200

Just a thought... Isn't this analagous to suggesting that a football team that gained more yards, but scored fewer points should be the winning team?

The Clinton argument has some merit, but – unfortuneately for her campaign – it requires everyone to disregard the clearly established rules. Again.

Whatever anyone wants to say, there is a system, there are rules. Obama – like him or not – played by them and has been wining by them. All the other candidates have dropped out to give the candidate with the shot a much clearer path and at the same time put the party and its unity ahead of personal ambition. At this point my only conclusion is Hillary is being selfish and myopic. Had the roles been reversed she and the whole of America would have been telling BHO to do the same thing. Just call it a good run and fall back. For once, put the party above yourself.
Nuff said.

Puerto Rico does not vote in the general election!

And Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan!

So why would their popular votes matter?????

Yet another example of the Clintons selfishly in pursuit of the nomination without ANY regard for the damage it may do to Senator Obama and the battle to win the White House.

Dear Hillary and Bill - LET SOMEONE ELSE Lead America for a change! Anyone else TIRED OF BUSH / CLINTON / BUSH / CLINTON????

Barack has....
1. Created a new conversation across the country about politics and ethics
2. Inspired millions of young people to get off their butts and become active and care about our country
3. Walked away from a multimillion dollar out of Harvard job to build communities across racial divides in Chicago
4. Voted against the war in Iraq from day 1
5. Raised the bar and may help us regain a positive reputation in the rest of the world to show that we do care about others and we are no longer "old school".

Also, I am pretty sure he's a good family man-that might help get some of those Republican votes from McCain and Mistress Cindy!

Obama '08!!

all Clinton supporters please get out and vote..we are counting on you and you can count on us here in Kentucky...we will win the popular vote and there will be no stopping us..Hillary wins!!

I think she will win West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico by large margins. However, I also think that Obama will win Oregon by large margins.

It all depends on how you do the math. It is tough to do a popular vote count when many of the races have been caucuses and not primaries. Its all "politician speak" and the rules say nothing about popular vote; otherwise, there wouldn't be caucuses.

Obama & His Campaign Would Like An Early Close To This historic Primary …. They Want Us To Beleive They Have Won ….. Truth Is They Haven't … Hillary Has The Edge Now , And can Win The Primary !!….. And YES The Math Is In Her Favor !!!!

Obama 's Campaign Is trying To Buy The Nomination …… Nice try Obama ….. Hillary Will NEVER Sell Out The American People … She's A Fighter , She Will Go The Distance And Will WIN The Nomination For PRESIDENT !!!!!

GO ! HILLARY !!!!!! YOUR THE WINNER !!!!!

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON !!!!!! 2008″

Big whoop tee do!

Clinton will surely win W. Va. and Ky! Who cares that she wins these two small states? Clinton herself made fun of Obama winning small states and now it's supposed to be different for her? With her so-called experience as commander-in-chief, Hillary should know the military startegy of losing a battle (like W. Va. and Ky.) is not the same as winning the war (the actual nomination which Obama will win next week after Oregon). As Bill says "just chill out!" $10 million in debt plus $12 borrowed from herself are the signs of losing campaign. Fat lady is singing "Obama 08 and 12!"

OBAMA NOW LEADS BY 10 SUPERDELEGATES, 281 – 271, OVER CLINTON.
THE ELECTION WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF IRREGARDLESS OF PUNDITRY OR SPECULATION.

Keep dreamin' Terry. And while you do you and HRC will just keep tearing our party apart. I'm sure McCain will want to take you out to dinner after this is over so keep your calendar open.

I just don't understand what has Obama done as a Senator. He is clean because he has not done anything.

When i see Clinton fight till the end i respect her even more. Its like people telling an athelete that you cannot win and the athlete goes and performs well to win. That is determination.

I don't see Obama winning in Nov.

This proves it... the whole campaign is crazy and in denial.

Hillary is for America. She may not be a nominee for Democrats but she is the nominee for real americans. If she contest as Independent, I bet she wins in the November election. She would be the great President.

Win the popular vote? Not likely. The Clinton campaign is in dire need of a reality check.

50 year old college educated white Texan for Obama

I would like the MEDIA to STOP CAMPAIGNING for Obama. He has done NOTHING! Hillary has created proposals, voted for changes, and is telling us what is going on...Obama is sweet-talking us and DOING NOTHING!!

I just have to ask, what prescription is the Clinton camp handing out? There is a real sense of denial coming from most of them.
It's time to turn the lights out, close the door and give the key to Obama.

The presidency of the United States is the most important job in the world. Why on earth wouldn't someone give their all out to get the job. She is going to have one crack at it. This is it. I am sure she, like you, would want to know that she gave it her best. Isn't that what we want in a president?

I can't believe the coverage of this campaign is even legal. On election night, no state is announced until the polls have closed and everyone has voted. Yet Obama has been declared the winner by TIME, CNN, MSNBC, and others, when he doesn't yet have a majority and several states are still voting. It's almost as if the media is trying to demonstrate their power over our political system.

Also, I don't understand why Hillary is being called a racist for campaigning in West Virginia. If she got 91% of the white vote, and Obama had majorities of all other ethnic groups, would he be called a racist for campaigning in a majority black area? Again, very biased commentary.

Bush had a 52% to 48% margin and called it a "mandate." Should Obama do the same with a 49% to 47% victory? Should he be declared with such a narrow margin before the end of voting?

I have never seen such a circus and the media just laps it up. Only a Caucasian can manuver an election the way Bill and Hitler has. Only media ran by Caucasians would ignore the fact that Senator Obama out smarted her and her expert Presidential husband the man no one could beat. Only Caucasians would ignore that none of them have the vision or had the vision or smarts Senator Obama has. Now this nonsense of Popular votes SO WHAT!! What does the rules say or how do they read, OH I FORGOT, THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL EXPERIENCE "STEAL WHAT YOU WANT" Thats how you Caucasians spell EXPERIENCE! You just can't give him credit, now you want him to help pay her debt!!!??? I mean the living gall!!! If Obama was as stupid as the Clintons and was in debt would all of this nonsense be relevant, no, it would be "HE WAS IN WITH THE CLINTON MACHINE HE WASN'T READY." But you give them (I don't want to use their names they disgust me" all the respect in the world, but if this was Obama, you would tell him to get out not ask if he should you as a cable station would say it. OH HAVE YOU SEEN ANY MORE BULLETS MAYBE THERE IS SOME IN VIRGINIA HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE COWARDS!! TO AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE YOU ALL LIE SO MUCH YOU DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH!

I'm sorry Terry, but your choice of which numbers to use and not to use is getting ridiculous. You might have an argument (a shaky one) if you took out Mich. because Obama was not on the ballot and added the caucus states (I think people there voted as well.).

To Hillary supporters:
This has been a vicious primary, and I understand your disdain for Obama because at times I have felt the same towards Hillary. At one point I decided I would not vote for her when it looked like she would win the nomination, but then I remembered why I was a democrat. It's because of the issues and what they mean to me and the rest of the people in this country. Don't fall for the tricks we've been duped by year after year by voting for who we would rather have a beer with or who wears a flag pin.

This election will have REAL consequences and I encourage you to not make decisions based on anger. Think about what you want for yourself and this country, and then decide who to vote for. It is your choice who to vote for, and you don't have to justify yourselves to anyone, but just remember that this isn't a game and lives WILL depend on your decision.

Nothing new here. The Clinton campaign has always made such outrageous claims.
I'm not buying it.
In my opinion Hillary is in danger of not just losing the nomination, but also her credibility and political career.

The question is.....Does anyone care at this point in the game? Hiliary needs to make up her mind. Either she wants the superdelegates to make the decision or the popular vote. She keeps changing the rules for her own purposes. Please lets move on and unite before November.

Honor the will of the people, which seems to be “ nobody will have won at the end of the primary season”.
Senator Clinton won the popular vote in Texas, I voted for Her; then I went to the caucus meeting. The number of Obama supporters who showed up to caucus was very large, so Sen. Obama won the caucus election, even though He clearly was the less popular candidate in the state. Where is the democracy of that result?
The Texas result shows Caucus elections are totally undemocratic. The candidate’s campaign that can haul more of its supporters to the caucus meeting will win the caucus election, even though that candidate might be the least popular in that state. That is how Sen. Obama has taken the lead of pledged delegates over Sen. Clinton, by winning caucus states. Obama’s claim that nationally He is the more popular candidate is bogus, as Sen. Clinton has won most primary elections AND MILLIONS OF CITIZENS DIDN’T GET TO VOTE IN CAUCUS STATES.
Furthermore, the process to determine the candidate for president for the Democratic Party requires the winner to get 2025 ( or so ) delegates to obtain a majority and thus be the democratic presidential candidate next fall. Currently, neither Sen. Obama nor Sen. Clinton has obtained the required majority. It appears that neither of the two Senators will be able to obtain the required 2025 delegates from pledged delegates at the end of the primary election process to get the nomination, so they will be tied, neither Senator will be ahead nor behind, THEY WILL BE TIED, it will be a draw ( NOBODY WON ).
That is, in spite of Sen. Obama’s campaign claims, no citizen who cast a vote in primary elections will be disenfranchised ( except maybe those from Michigan and Florida ) if his or her candidate isn’t picked in Denver, because NOBODY WON during the primary process. A runoff election will then take place at the democratic party’s national convention in Denver, where only delegates will vote. There, the superdelegates will end up picking the winner. This is the process, this is how it should be if neither candidate obtains the required 2025 delegate pledged majority during the primary period. SUPERDELEGATE ENDORSEMENTS COUNT ONLY AT THE ELECTION IN DENVER, SO, THE CONTEST HAS TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION.
Hence, Superdelegates, pick the candidate most likely to win in November; pick the candidate best prepared to lead our country into the future; pick Sen. Hillary R. Clinton; otherwise we democrats will lose NOT ONLY THE WHITE HOUSE BUT CONGRESS AS WELL.

B – New York

Fighter for who?!
CHINA, COLUMBIA, Herself.. . ?? No, for blue-collar workers because she has $110 milions in last seven years.

Middle-aged White Woman for Obama.

obama 4 president,
of course the popular vote doesn't count, how do you think we got into this mess in the last 8 years ? Why bother vote if a handful of people make the decision anyway ?

I just don't get it. Don't the clinton's understand that even in huge wins in KT WV and PR they will still be down in pledge delegates. BTW TERRY there is no way that all 1.1 million voters in WV will go to clinton. I know they love her but i don't believe they love her that much.

Obama08

is it me or are there only three members of the elect hillary campaign? all i seem to here from her group is bill, hill and mccaulif.

you'll notice the unelected supers haven't declared yet. They are waiting to see which way the wind in blowing. They will take polls.
Delegates can change their minds now or at convention.
Polls have shown now in WI that the repubs would take it even tho OB won here at the time. People are having buyers remorse since learning more about OB.
will surprised if this gets posted.

And yet the popular vote doesn't matter!! What's wrong with playing by the rules? Rules that were well known well before this all started.

Sure,it might be time to look at changing the rules after this fight. That doesn't have anything to do with Clinton vs. Obama, though.

It is so funny to see Terry McAluffe trying to explain how Hillary still has
a chance at winning the nomination. It is so obvious that he doesn't
even believe what he is saying himself.

I am sick and tired of all the Clinton supporters threatening to defection to McCain in November. You can do what you will, even if it is purely motivated out of spite. The general electorate usually pays little attention to primaries even if we are seeing record turnout this year. By the time it matters, people will have moved on or never even cared about her. If every single one of you turned out in November to fuel the hatred, you still wouldn't get more of the popular vote than Ross Perot.

I wonder if anyone told McAuliffe, the "official Ohio vote" just came in and the Hill girl won by 200,000 votes less than origionally reported. Of course seeing how the Clinton campaign has managed their finances, it's plain to see a lot of them don't know how to count right.

Why doesn't he just say that if Clinton wins West Virginia she wins the nomination.

Oh boy.. changing rules , again. How sad.

Hillary Supporters-
Obama- 155 delegates to win the nomination
Clinton- 327 delegates to win the nomination..ouch

A democracy means that you have a right to vote any way you like but I think it is completely irresponsible and extremely immature to say that if she doesn't get it her supporters will stay home or vote for McCain. If she does get it at least Obama supporters have vowed to support her campaign. Come on people!

If Obama is so wonderful and he has already "won" then how come he doesn't have enough delegates? If people really wanted HIM, then wouldn't he be winning all the states?

Bt the popular vote doesn't include Caucus states so they would be disenfranchising 4 entire states. That will NEVER fly....IT'S OVER, THE FAT LADY IS SINGING

Why has the media not pointed out that Obama wins Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, and Washington while HRC loses those states to McCain according to Rasmussen reports. Also, she does worse than Obama in Florida (surprising), Montana, Nevada, Virgina, North Carolina, and New Jersey. He would get more electoral votes than her so her winning the West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico (no vote in election) primaries is inconsequential compared to what he has to offer for the general election. Why is this story not in the news?

Yeah, the New England Patriots will win the super bowl....

Clinton News Network – why are you reporting such unworthy news..

Let the Election begin, stop this nonsense now.

I want to understand something. Does Hillary Clinton mean that Blacks can not be Presidents of the United States of America.?Only Whites are destined to be presidents of this country?

Everybody knew of Obama years ago...the guy has been in politics for one reason. From the very first day he got involved in the church,,,he had one goal - he talks of change....how about we do in fact change it up...and get someone into the White House who actually knows what they are doing and has knowledge of what this country needs.

Lets just wait and see what happens at the convention. Anything can happen - you thought there was a lot of campaigning over the last 2 years....just wait until you see what goes on, on the floor in Denver.

HIllary '08

WISER NOW

If you want four more years of Bush then vote McCain. Stay home if you like spending a billion a day in Iraq. You like Bush economic policies? But you'll vote for more with McCain all because you hate Obama?

Why are so many Hillary voters willing to sacrifice it all to feed their hatred of Obama?

Cutting your nose off to spite your face is not WISE.

Keep it up and we can thank Hillary for four more years of a Republican president. Her supporters are getting angrier and angrier, and are going to stay home or vote for McCaine, which means they're willing to keep us in Iraq and continue with this doomed economic policy and failed health care system just to show all the Obama supporters that they were right.

This is very sad.

To all the Clinton supporters who plan to vote for McCain just because she didn't get the nomination, do us all a favor and just stay home with a big box of tissues. You people are ridiculous.

an the superdelegates swing back and forth as they change their mind? Am I right about it?
I still hope for Hillary. She is not this arrogant as Obamistas. Neither is McCain.
Obama is sleeping on his laurels now, good for him. But he has to realize the not every person in this country want him to be a president.

OK, how do you Clinton people count Puerto Rico?? Not eligible to vote in the Presidential Election sho how does it count???? Again, Clinton math!!! IN answer to the supporter who asks what Obama has done, please tell me what Hillary has done in all her EXTENSIVE SERVICE??? Oh yes she hosted teas for wives of foreing dignitaries and went to shcolls and visited children. Excuse me, neither on ha the experience but if you idioots keep this up, McCain will waltz to a victory and then who do you blame but your idiotic selves.

Do you remember Mr.Tim Russet fambling with the fussy math of the 2000 elections in Florida.He was wrong then because the votes were not appropriately counted! Today i saw the same fussy math gimmick!likewise these are going to fail.

HILLARY, DNC AND THE ESTABLISHMENT DECIDED TO BE AGAINST YOU LONG TIME AGO.

HILLARY YOU HAVE BEEN REPUBLICAN, AND FOR LONG TIME DEMOCRATIC AND NOW IT IS THE TIME TO RUN AS INDEPENDENT.
YOU ARE THE BEST
AND YOU WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER.

HILLARY 08

Terry McCauliffe is delusional. He reminds one of Saddam's propaganda chief insisting that American tanks would never enter Baghdad as the tank engines were rumbling outside his window. I hope Obama says thanks but no thanks to this bunch of Hillary syncophants.

Winning the popular vote (which is the best indicator of the will of the people) will give Hillary what she needs to run as an Independent.
Start sweating Obamarites.

There are lots of variables in a presidential campaign.
The most important variable is that Hillary is no JFK, no matter how much Bill likes to compare himself with JFK.
Just ask Ted Kennedy, who endorsed Obama.
But our economy can use some of the donations from Bill's foreign friends if Hillary wants to go all the way.
It makes everybody happy.

Hillary said a candidate who wins Ohio and Texas was eventually quailified to the nomination. Now, that has been switched to W .V. So, Ohio and Texas are out of such criteria. What a misguarded statement all of the times.

To achieve greatly, you need clear goals, plans, and scheules to get from wherever you are today to where you want to be in the future. Sen. Clinton is not prepared for future. This is a judgement call. The difference between a stupid leader and a genice one is: a stupid has no limit and genice has a limit. She has no good choices and best decision, it is too far beyond belivable and realistic. If Sen. Clinton the elected prisedent, I will be worried about our future.

Go Hillary! I've contributed money and I'll keep contributing as long as she is running. For me, it ain't over till the lady in the pantsuit says it is. She WILL win the popular vote....and then let's see what happens.

After that, if the nomination goes to Obama, then my vote and my money will start going to McCain.....simply because Obama is not qualified to be president. He's an empty suit.

Hillary or McCain – 2008

Painful.

The DNC is so screwed up....elections and caucuses. No wonder they hardly ever win the Presidential race. Then they don't count 2 states because they are punishing them!! Now MI and FL voters will get a chance to punish the DNC by voting Republican.

OVER – IT IS OVER – PLEASE GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD>>>

Can anyone name five things that Hillary has done. On the things that matter she was absent or on the wrong side. The war, making sure the votes count in Floriday. And she keeps changing the rules. She doesn't care if she breaks up the party. And for those people who say he cannot win with certain groups. The other groups the opposite is true. Their hasn't been a democratic president that has won without the black vote. And she won't get it.

Obama supporters are rude and not as educated as Obama says. If they are that smart, they would not be so rude about another democrate. Oh I forgot most of them just registered that way. Wise up they are politicans. Go Hillary 08

Keep up thr hard work, Hillary! Obama won't have a prayer in the general election. If Hillary doesn't get the nomination this year we'll just wait until 2012. There's no way in hell I will vote for Obama. He will bring disaster in November for the Dems.

Clinton turned down a compromise from the Michigan Democratic Party to seat their delegates.

Clinton wanted it based on votes.

Obama wanted half to go to each candidate.

The MDP split the difference 69 to Clinton 59 to Obama.

To get this to happen the candidates have to agree to the division So who really is disenfranchising the voters of Michigan?

Check it out on Yahoo news.

Why didn't CNN report on this?

If Clinton wins the popular vote, or even ties, given the key states in which she's won, it would be foolish to give the nomination to Obama. No matter how much the media fawns over Obama nor what kind of process the DNC cooks up, this is still a democracy, and the voters should make the decision. To disinfranchise 2 entire states, no matter how it was agreed to or concocted, when we will need them in the general election, is ludicrous.

The whole premise of the Clinton campaign saying they can pull ahead in the popular vote is ridiculous! It is based on including the results of the illegal primary in Michigan, where Obama's name wasn't on the ballot!

The bottom line is–half the Democrats don't want Obama.
And if he's so great, why not?

And we won't be forced to vote for him if the Dems choose him.
There's options you know.

B from NY, Can you please tell us what Clinton has done for New York
.
.
.
.
.
Didn't think so
She has done nothing....where are all of those jobs she promised New York....there are none, since she has been in the senate we have lost thousands and thousands...

I am a republican that will vote for Obama....

looks like you guy's on CNN are trying to pull up any big mouth who ads
to the Clinton myth, and strangely enough again, just a day befor the next elections.

If Hillary is so concerned about "blue collar" people I wonder why she doesn't try and raise money for the tornado victims rather than continue to squander money on a campaign she can't win.

This guy sounds like Paul BeGala. "We are in until June 3". Who we? They and the Clintons. It is all about the Clintons and their capabilities to run this country. No one else can catch up them when it comes to leadership. Poor, poor, Pooooooooor judgement. First the argument was superdelegate. Now it is popular votes. Next it will be she lost. LOL.
Has James Carville named those Clintons supporters who switched to Obama yet? If James could find name for Bill Richardson, I'm sure he can find names for those supperdelegates who left HRC for Obama.

I just spoke to my aunt who worked with Hillary while she was first lady and reminded me that Hillary was foul mouthed, greedy and nasty and back then in the 90's was all about her, her and Bill. I see nothing has changed. SHe is evil people, realize it before it is too late. By the way did you ever ask yourself why there were so many 'whitewater suicides'.

If Michigan and Florida are not counted., These two large states will go Republican in the Fall. That is a given. Without Michigan, Florida,
Texas and Ohio, No Democrat can win in November. Hillary can carry those criticl states, but Obama cannot. Live with that DNC.

Good bye Obama. Hope you can hold on to your Senate Seat.

I live in NYS and Hillary as done NOTHING for me/us. She campaigns about "jobs, jobs, jobs" Yet, they company my husband worked for for 30 years will be permanently closing in July. Eastman Kodak in Rochester, keeps downsizing...
Our taxes have gone up, fees on everything have gone up, including adding fees to things we never had to pay for. I can't understand why the blue collar workers support her, they will end up losing their jobs and have to pay more for everything...the tax holiday is a JOKE...the government will NOT cut back on THEIR spending to pay for this, it would be added to us, so it's a joke, we will pay for it one way or another!!!

I'm telling you guys – It's not over yet!

Wait........................

– something will come out about Obama's back closet?

more to come promised!!!

GO HILLARY FOR THE INDEPENDENT TICKET IN '08!

I want to be able to vote for you again and again and again.

This is just the latest in a series of things her campaign people keep doing to stay in the race and make it look like it is a legimate thing....the race is over, Hillary will never admit it, even after the January 2009 inaugration, she will still be campaigning for the nomination for the Democratic side.

She is delusional.......poor lady, she is a "has been" and needs to go home to Arkansas and try once again to become an honest lawyer....well, I know that is a hard task, but if any attorney can achieve it.....she can....and she needs to start there,.....

.......there is a saying "Cowboy up".....that means get straight, get in the saddle, and ride the horse or bronc....and that is what she needs to do if she ever thinks she can run for President again, she should start by being honest about everything in her life, she would be amazed how forgiving the people are and would be, if she would just try to be a normal person for a change.

Really Hillary, Cowboy UP!!

David in CA, you are dreaming if you think democrats will unite, I and possibly millions like me will never vote for Obama. His supporters are the most hate filled people I have ever seen. Read the fatal attraction post her, read post about PA, OH and WV. Read what Obama supporters say about people who supported Hillary. His campaign thinks that it can insult millions of people, call them and their candidate horrible names, and we will come together....dream on, anyone but Obama is what I am hearing, and I will do everything I can to make sure that happens. I show people the hate filled posts of Obama supporters, and I ask them is this the kind of hope and change they want.

To WISER NOW,

If the Dems choose Obama then I want Hillary to run as an independent.

There is absolutely no way I would ever vote for Obama!

So it is either Hillary as the Dem nominee or Hillary as an independent or McCain.

Staying home might be a win for Obama and we all know how dangerous that could be!!!

Why are Obama supporters so eager to have Senator Clinton drop out of the race? What are they afraid? Since he has the primaries pretty much won, so all you fans say, what difference does it make if Senator Clinton stays in the race? I also find it interesting that Obama and his fans are so eager to disenfranchise so many people and states. Does that mean he is going to be just like Bush and only deal with people who are so totally for him and ignore those who aren't ? I'm beginning to see some very similar characteristics to Bush here.

fight on hillary

You Hillary supporters are pathetic...go home, it's over, she lost, shes a hack, and so are all of you. Go ahead, vote for McCain, you have no one to blame but yourselves when this country goes further down the crapper by doing that. idiots.

Typical nonsensical responses from Obama's young and uninformed supporters who have no concept of who Terry McAuliffe is and how hard he has worked for the democratic party. You dismiss and lampoon a man that has been one of the hardest working members for the democrats....all the while hiding behind the guise of "change". Except you have no idea what change is... you can't point to one piece of significant anything that obama has done to change anything in his political career. and you gloss over all the achievements of the clintons and people like terry mcauliffe who have actually brought change to this country.

I think Hillary is the best option for the Democratic Party and I am glad that she still fighting for the nomination. Hillary has two pros that I don't see in Obama:
1- Latino vote-. If we make some memory, the latino swing vote is the one that has decided lately the outcome of the elections (see Florida). Hillary has shown in the past primaries that she counts with the latino vote ( California, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Nevada, New York).
2- Obama supporters need to see also the big picture here, Obama is going to have a tough time as a president and having bills approved because he has criticized the political establishment in Washington since the campaign started. I don't know seriously how he is going to convince and attract votes with the Congress and Senate after criticizing always Washington.How? with the so called lobbys he always criticized?. come on!
Therefore, WV, Kentucky, South Dakota and Puerto Rico make yourself count!!! go out and vote!! this is not over yet. A good outcome will make the remainning superdelegates think about the whole picture.

Why does anyone expect Hillary to drop out of the nomination process? Her and Bill running for office (HillBilly) is about her, not about what is best for the nation. Hillary's position is, 'if I can't have it, nobody will, and I'll destroy the party before I'll give it up.' However, the disturbing fact of about the entire Democratic ( de 'mock' racy in action) is the only difference between Obama (O bomb A? a la Bill Ayers) and Hillary, is that one is male the other female. An Obama/Clinton ticket; the nation should recoil in revulsion at the thought of it. Images of Rasputin flood my brain.

Having heard Cohen's comment that compares Clinton to Glen Close in "Fatal Attraction," I like Anderson Cooper's comment even better:

She campaigns like there is NO TOMORROW.

if the popular vote goes to witch ever obama or clinton then the people have spoken this should not be settled by so called super del. these delagates are only in it for what they can receive after the election the canidates make promises to then an that is unconstitunal. a vote is a vote an it should be upheld by the DNC. THESE UNKNOWNS SUPERDEL. should not have that power. are election should be like the republican partys WINNER TAKE ALL. its so much easier.

I can not believe all you stupid women who are buying into the good ole boys senario that Hillary is evil, power hungry, pond scum and that no "good little girls" will support her. Only those nasty lesbian types.

They did a good job and now the most qualified person running in either party has been pushed out. I hope all you "good little girls" are quite happy with yourselves.

Guess what Terry, She's leading by 98 percent in the state of, of, of, of O yeah, " The State of Denial ".

Hey Tejano you sure know your history. JFK did win at the convention and he did not have the delegates going into the Convention. Does History repeat itself. Hillary is a fighter and we need her in the Whitehouse. Not Obama the surrender candidate.

To WISER NOW,

If the Dems choose Obama then I want Hillary to run as an independent.

There is absolutely no way I would ever vote for Obama!

So it is either Hillary as the Dem nominee, Hillary as an independent or McCain.

Staying home might be a win for Obama and we all know how dangerous that would be!!!

Quiters never win, and winners never quit. Soar on, Hillary.

NIAFL.Yes it is a Groundhog day.Tell me if you know when the Groundhog day was wrongly pridicted.You can flip it slap it roll it slice it,and ofcourse damp it.This dog does not bite.Tothless and Spineless-metaphorically for sure.-I mean the dog!!!

As usual, the Clinton campaign is obsessed with whatever statistic they can pull out of a hat and wave around to justify their destructive, selfish, Machiavellian behaviour. This is fooling fewer and fewer "uneducated" voters.

The historic fact about West Virginia reveals the other campaign weakness: still looking to the past instead of the future - this tendency will prove her undoing.

Maybe if she had been real, authentic, and honestly herself from the beginning, she might be in a different place at this point in the race. But she can't help herself.

Oh Lord, they're going to play the "Al Gore 2000" card.

Hillary´s team is destroying the democratic tradition of the democratic party. It is time for the elders and leaders of the party to come out and stop this unnecessary bleeding.

B – New York, He have done about the same as HC... so what is your point ??

popular vote... did she not use to say only the delegates count, then the super delegates, and then it was the delegates can overturn their vote and vote for her... Now it is the popular vote that count.... is she running on the same rules as Obama and the others ?? or just making them up all along ??

KEEP GOING HILLARY. YOU WILL OVERCOME ALL THE BIAS AND HATE. YOU ARE THE BEST QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few months ago Obama supporters cared about popular vote. Don't let those superdelegates overturn the will of the people! I guess that isn't true anymore now that Hillary will likely have those numbers by June 3rd. Funny, isn't it?

Its time for the party to have courage and make a decision here and stick by Clinton. Obama will not win a general election against McCain.

The last time I looked, it takes 2025 delegates to Nominate. Niether Democratic candidate has that many, and may not prior to Denver.

I hope that Democrats go to Denver and settle it, first, second, third ballot, whatever.

Democrats need to win and Obama can't get it done.

It's unfortunate that McAuliffe is using some type of hallucinogenic drug...There is no way that Clinton is going to succeed. It was interesting to notice that he didn't count the popular vote of the states that Obama will win in the next few weeks...

I bet on a horse one time because my friend said " The only way this horse will lose if he breaks a leg." He lost, He broke his leg on the turn and I lost my bet.

So don't bet your house that Obama will win the Nomination. We have several weeks before Denver and the Convention is not a sure thing. That is how JFK won the nomination. So history may repeat itself. Anything can happen between now and the convention.

Hillary or McCain no one else will do.

3 Clinton headlines on CNN's main page. Try all you want CNN, your girl is done. It's too bad all I use your site for now is to show people how ridiculously out of touch you are, just like Fox News. But that's probably a compliment to you guys. I've seen better political reporting from a drunken bum who lives on the streets in DC.

Someone please tell these idiots ( IT'S THE DELEGATES STUPID )

Period END OF STORY.

What difference does it make anyway? McCain will win in November regardless of which democratic candidate is nominated.

I feel sorry for the guy.

Vote Mccain 08

Terry is a fool....he and she belong together.

What about the total number of folks who came out to cauc's...they don't want to count those yet they want to count MI where he was not even on the ballot.

Now that most believe the race is already over the number of voters in WV, KY & PR will decrease whereas OR, SD & MT will incrwase sine they support Barack.

She won't catch up on popular just like she cant win supers or pledged deleagtes.

It's over, she's toast, give it up already...quit being delusional!!!!

Hillary, we are with you.

To OBAMA 4 President;

Check the grammar in your first sentence and then tell me who the "thick" one is. Some of you don't really have the mental capacity to choose the proper candidate for president! Everyone should be required to take a test before they are allowed to vote.

Is Terry counting the Michigan votes? I would like clarification. Obama wasn't on that ballot. It wasn't a fair contest. Also, don't forget the caucus states that carried Obama.

Also, speaking as a citizen from Illinois, Obama helped sponsor a number of bills and voted on many more. If you want "two things", please turn to his record.

Obama '08

How can Obama possibly unite the country when all of his anti-Hillary supporters are a bunch of hypocrites, including CNN. I will not vote for Obama in the general election. The so-called superdelegates need wake up and realize that Obama will not win in November.

Keep on fighting Hillary!

This is foolish. Obama cannot win the general in Nov. Do your research – not sound bite surfing. Every legitimate statistic regarding this race shows Senator Clinton the only one to beat McCain and secure the majority of States. If you do not want 4 more yrs. of a Republican presidency, than use your head and vote for Senator Clinton. She is clearly the most qualified individual – What would you call Hillery if she had a wooden leg? Poop on a stick! Psyche! /white/purple – that our party has seen in generations. Senator Obama is not ready – putting him up as the nominee now is throwing away our opportunity in Nov.

In this country, the popular vote does nt matter. The nominee is chosen by DELEGATES. Someone, please, give a lesson to the Clinton campaign.

Using the arguement of winning the popular vote reminds me of Gore winning the popular vote, and losing the electoral college.

Hillary is desparate.

2 words!!! it's over!! deal with it!!

Wow. Soon the Hillfans will be left with metrics like: Hillary leads the popular vote among those who are left-handed – or, Hillary leads among those who love cats.

Closing time...you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

Go Obama.

What is it that these snake oil salesmen don't get?

IT'S THE DELEGATES, STUPID !!!!!

yes she will win the popular vote, which is why she should win
by the way
in 2012- Dave Mustaine will run for president
and i hope he will win
Dave mustaine for president

To Wiser Now

I'm sure Sen. Clinton would not want you to vote for McCain. She is in

the race so that she can beat him–I'm sure she would not want her

supporters to then elect him.

Yeah and then.....
- The sky will be green
- Bush will have a high approval rating
- Bill will stop cheating
- Cows will produce chocolate mile
- Pigs will fly

Ok, not only are they not mathematicians but they are now drinking on the job.

Okay, Terry. Her dignity is now intact with a WV win. Obama still wins the nom by every metric. It's time to move on to the general and end the farce that has been BushCo.

go clinton please go your time is over

Wait, how can the popular vote be justly counted in states that held caucuses? From what I've read, it would have to be a guestimate, and some caucus states don't even have that. We like Hillary and wish her the best but would be quite happy with Obama too and agree that there should be no back room deals to overturn the rules. I think the Clinton campaign is flirting with trouble by trying to make a case for this since there is no true way to calculate all votes in a primary election. Any thoughts anyone??

Mr McAuliffe, you were DNC chair and presided over two LOSING election season – 2002 and 2004. Do all good Democrats a favor and crawl back into the black hole that people like yourself, Harold Ickes and Mark Penn oozed out of!

GOBAMA!!!!!

OBAMA will be the next President of the United States of America. Not Blue or Red America. Not Female or Male America. Not Black or White America. In Jesus Name. AMEN!!!!

nevermind,i'll go to the huffington post.they'll post my comments.

Those who take things for granted:Listen "those who laugh last ,lough best" Tomorrow intertwined with the debacle that is going on in the two camps,the truth shall deliver the abused innocent contender.The march continues,all the way to the end.Hillary has a tough chin,to have taken all these punches,and still be standing and not punch drunk!!! Stop messing with this genius Lady.While Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher(Britain) was a Iron Lady ; Hillary gets a A+ for both qualities, A Genius,Iron Lady. Hillary has the know how and all qualities of being fit for the job of the White House.This is True.

THE STATES HILLARY HAS WON SO FAR IF THEY WERE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES SHE COULD WIN THE PRESIDENCY. OBAMA WINS ALL THE LITTLE STATES HALF OF WHICH LIKE WYOMING ARE STAUNCH REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLDS. GO HILLARY...

If you have ever had any form of challenges in your life, if you have had to work hard for anything or anyone in your life you will understand what it means not quit and fight to the very end. I totally agree that Senator Clinton should continue her campaign until a nominee is selected. What kind of message are you sending to your children? If they are behind in school they must quit working hard? The message that Senator Clinton is sending to all American is great and she is running a good campaign and all of you whether Obama or Pro Clinton should respect this. If you cannot understand now you will understand later. Everything that she does will go down in history and your sons and daughters, children and grand children, aunts and uncle will read about it someday.
Go Hillary, Fight the brave fight, America and the whole international community is with you. This race is not about winning or losing, it’s not about Senator Obama or Senator Clinton, it is all about the American people.

I think its funny how this article leaves out any mention of Oregon. As if Kentucky is the only state voting on May 20th. We'll have our say, and I'd like to think Oregon will be the final nail the the Clinton coffin.

B – NEW YORK!!! What has hillary done??? well we know she had sex with bill well atleast once but what else has she done?????? can you name one thing that she has done by her self with out riding on her husbans coattail.... I have not seen any think, and being first lasy does not count for anything. other wise that means laura bush should be the incumbant!!!!!!

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!

B-New York, if you won't take the time to look it up yourself, then you really don't care. So why do you bring it up?

Why doesn't anyone challenge them on this point? Rather, the media "concede" (by not challenging these statements) that she'll win the popular vote but that it "won't matter". She WILL NOT win the popular vote, even if she counts Michigan. She doesn't even come close if you allow for a fair counting of Michigan, and she barely comes close (but still loses) if you allow for an unfair counting. She's not winning the popular vote today, and she won't be winning it after June 3.

Let's see, you knew the rules going in to the game and now since the rules don't work for you, your campaign feels they need to be changed. Doesn't that sound like another President and political party (hint: they are currently in the White House).

While I think the entire party nomination process is a joke, these are the rules of the game. If you didn't like them, you should have worked to change them before you ran for office.

And Hillary wonders why people don't trust what she says and does?

These people are becoming REALLY irritating. They're worse than used car salesmen. Really, really BAD used car salesmen.

I think they're all auditioning for spots in info-mercials after the campaign.

They all want to come on and say, "Hi, I'm the oxy-moron here to introduce you to oxi-clean!" It just makes me want to hit the oxy-contin.

But, wait, if you purchase one at the regular price {hillaryclinton.com} We'll throw in another one at no extra charge!

This two-for-one thing wasn't such a good idea before.

Guthy-Renker '08

Terry McAuliff also said that FOX News is "Fair and Balanced". Who cares what this blow hard has to say.

Allah will see to it the infidel Clinton will lose. Obama has won the popular vote of the 57 states. Allah AkBAH! Allad AkBAH! Obama and the Nation in 08!

(siiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhhhh) They just don't get it........
I love how all these people who want Clinton to win would cut off theirs noses to spite their faces. You really think Obama is worst than McCain? You can all go f yourselves!

Clinton will only have the popular vote if Michigan and Flordia's votes are counted, and Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan.

Ever see those old zombie movies where theres a guy blasting a zombie with a shotgun and it just keeps lurching forward? Clinton's campaign is that zombie. Dead but still moving forwards.

This guy lies and changes the rules out of both sides of his big MOTOR MOUTH.
Candidate that the American people and delegates support to be in office.

Hillary this race is not about race !!!

I'm so sick and tired of Hillary supporters threatening Obama supporters with the same old tired threat of voting for McCain if (when) Hillary loses. Just shut up and do it. But be prepared for the consequences of another 4 years of Bush politices. Man, you guys are really living up to her description of her supporters.

I think its funny that the Obamabots who are supporting a guy who claims to be someone who crosses the aisle and votes with Republicans are now telling Hillary's supporters they should vote for the Democratic nominee-Well, last I checked its a Free Country and we will "standup for change" by choosing to be "Bipartisan".

From what I can tell Obama will lose 14,700,000 votes for the Democratic party this Fall.

Good Luck Obama and your robots, you all divided the Democratic Party with you arrogance and disrespect and now you are trying to blame Hillary Clinton. Give me a break, you divided it when you decided to run for President (I would have voted for you in 8 years once you gained some experience)-why would you do that knowing she was a formidable candidate? Arrogance and Ego! Sorry Obamabots but your guy's ego is just as big as Hillary's and so is his ambition. So come off your high horses and quit trying to act like your guy is better than "Typical" Washington-Because he isn't,he is just as bad if not worse! To top it off he doesn't even have any solutions, how and what EXACTLY is he going to change? Where are his solutions? What has he changed while in Washington so far? Why don't you spend some time looking that up instead of spending all your time being hateful and disrepectful on this site. That's the reason we will not get in line behind the Obama Bandwagon, for the majority of us it has nothing to do with race but all to do with his lack of solutions.

Fight Hillary fight!!!!

The American press has tried to crucify you (nbc,msnbc and cnn)... you are much more electable and the NObama machine has orchestrated removing your super delegates one by one. Hillary should be the nominee or I will be a Hillary Democrat for McCain.

I cannot support a fake, liar like Obama.

Go Hillary or GO Mac.

Welcome to the land of "make believe" and "fairy tales"....perhaps in this land Hillary really did dodge sniper fire as she singlehandedly delivered Bosnia from the bad guys and became SuperForeignPolicy Spingirl!! (dramatic music). This is really beyond sad....trying to keep spinning things to make Billary relavent. So she wins W. Virginia (is that a territory or province??) and gets 18 or so delegates.....oooooo, I'm sooo impressed. You Clintonites really are out of you minds. Well keep drumming up that "hard working", uneducated simpleton vote, while we "elitests" with common sense change the country for the better. Wake up people.

Everyone talks about how strong Hillary is, but i see her as weak. I also think that she should ditch Chelsea, she is always by her side.

I for one would love to see Obama win in all categories, so that there will be no doubt. With Hillary winning big in WV and KT on shows the racial and gender divide of this nation. Timing is everything when it comes to politics.

I will vote for Hillary if i have to write her in.
This man can not run a country just like the blacks can not keep peace in their own neighborhoods

Billary is just staying in it for the tax write off !!
She knows it's over ! Like DUH ! Wake up people !

You guys still think you have a chance? ROTFL

The real question is what has Obama or Clinton done for this country. One is a perpetual lier and the other is nothing more than a empty suit whose pockets are lined with racism.

I thought the Clinton Campaign ALREADY said they've won the popular vote ... so why is it that they now have to predict they WILL win it ??
:^)

my comment has been on here for an hour .are any of your moderators working,anymore?

Hillary needs to wake up and smell the coffee. It is over. Bye, Bye. Go back to Arkansas. I don't think she will even be elected by New York again if she does more damage to the Democrat party. Take Bill and Chelsea and slither out of town.

The complexion of this race is changing again with Liberitarian/Republican Conservative Bob Barr entering today. Hillary should stay in for the nomination. Democratic Superdelegates should be preparing to endorse her and re-endorse her. The Republican Party is re-architecting their election strategies right now. What about the Democrats? As of today, this is a new game. Hillary is the most qualified to beat these old-school Republicans and Neocons. "Experience" means she's wise to them, not "one of them."

Just because Hillary won the large states in the primary doesn't mean she will win them in the general.
By the same token, it doesn't mean that Obama won't.

Victor

I care about WV & KT...I care about MI & FL....so should Obama...but according to his campaign they can win without us....fine with me, I can just give my measly vote to McCain. I'm not alone....

Go Hillary!... operation chaos.

BLA,BLA,BLA,

This is SOOOOOO bad for our party. Hillary, don't rain on our parade!

Hillary says she can win hard working white voters.....does she think the black voters will alway vote democrats?....hmm think again, she is in for a suprise!!!1

What a jerk...I guess all of those democrats are voting for Hillary...do you think Obama might get one or two votes...and how can he count Michigan when Obama was not even on the ballot. That shows you the intelligence of that group...\

Go Obama....

it's time to unite, say what you want but it is over for Sen.Clinton. She started out so far a head she never thought it would come to this. It's ok Hillary it on the Obama train and lets take the white house.

So? If a presidential nominee wins those states by 100% in the general election, there are still a fixed and smaller number of electoral college votes. It boils down to the fact that WV and Kentucky are not representative of the Will of the American people and just don't matter. And that's a fact!

As a conservative republican, this is awesome. Go ahead and devour each other. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. Where's all the love you had for the Clinton's back in the 90s? Wasn't she "one of the smartest women in WORLD? What you Obama fans are basically saying is that we conservatives were right all along in the 90's @ the Clintons. Thanks for justifying what we said all along. Better late to the table than never.

Your affirmative action and political correctness (both for women and minorities) is eating you alive in the election. I love it when you resort to name calling because that means you have given up on the debate itself.

This is amazing entertainment.

There IS NO popular vote in the Democratic primary race. As long as there are caucus votes, there is no way to count a popular vote.

The Clinton team is trying to equate her situation to Gore's in 2000.

There is just no comparison.

She's behind in popular vote even when you count Michigan and Floridan and then you have give Obama a big goose egg for Michigan. You can't count any caucus states...Is anyone really buying this line?

This is absolutely painful. Are there any supporters of Senator Clinton who can reconcile her current position on Michigan and Florida with the fact that, in 2007, she AGREED that those states should be stripped of their delegates for breaking the rules. And she agreed not to campaign. In re: Michigan-Obama did not put his name on the ballot in full support of what they ALL (yes, HRC as well) agreed to. Now, in order to suit the needs of the campaign, the good Senator is suddenly an advocate of the rights of Michigan and Florida voters? Reconcile this if you can. Come on, we're listening. Just because you support her doesn't mean you can ignore this irrefutable truth.

All she wants is power, at no matter what cost.
Foul play and trying to change the rules and agreements.
State after state pretending that its people are the most important to try and twist the votes out of them.
Great at dividing the country, rather than uniting the people.

Who trusts a president like that, I thought we already had one like that.
Do we really want a president like that once more?
Clinton would end up just as unpopular as Bush is.

Come on folks, the whole world will laugh at us (once again).

Obama is presidential and will unite the country; he is and will be respected, nationally and internationally, to the better of the U.S.

Fortunately others than Hillary will apply the rules of the game, and fortunately all people but Hillary can count the way the rules were agreed / to be abided as from day 1 of the primaries.
This says a lot of what might be expected from Hillary, should she be granted a day 1 in the White House.
If you can not organize your campaign from day 1, how could you organize the country and its economy from day 1?

Hillary, you're a bad loser: go to your kitchen sink.
Instead of profiling yourself as a to be respected president (or loser), you would do a better job there (having the experience).

Obama '08

I love it. Leave it to the dems to self destruct. You're your own worst enemy. You have to stop being so emotional about it. Hillary's going to go down and take the rest of the party with her. There's no way this election will be taken from the Big O. The Clintons must be using the new math. How can you ignore the caucus states and not count the people who came out to vote in those.

I'm one happy conservative.

WV & Ky;

Don't fail this nation now!

Obama 08

I'm sooooo tired of the Clintons. If they want W. Virginia give them all of the 28 delegates. It won't help them.

The Clintons are tearing the Democratic party apart for they own interest. If Hillary runs again in 2012 she still won't win. People will not forget. I use to be a Hillary supporter but not anymore. If she steals this nominee with her rules and math, I'm over the Democratic party. I'll go Independent.

For the people!
BY THE PEOPLE!!
Not Superdelegates!!!!!

The Obama supporters will say that only delegates count. However, each pledged delegate vote is distributed according to the population. If Hillary Clinton wins the popular vote, that is disasterous for DNC. This is the main reason they try to bring her down. The party itself is screwed up to use "proportional" delegates. If each delegate is based on the population, then why doesn't she have the delegate lead as well? If you use the General Election rule that winner takes all, Hillary Clinton is leading by 200-300. When she has the popular vote lead, the GE electoral vote lead, what does the delegate represent? Neither! Now who steals the election?

Now They like to change rules again hmmmm, now popular vote counts?

Raz

I don't believe You Spin Doctor! Obama 08

I am going to vote for the Democratic Party's nominee in November, regardless of whether it is Clinton or Obama. There is FAR, FAR too much at stake for this country, it's citizens, and it's place in the world, to have another 4 years of a Republican in the White House.

We must go until June 3rd. How else will we be able to raise the donations from the people after Hillary's dominating wins in West Virginia and Kentucky? This is funny I was speaking with my 88 year old grandmother in Memphis, who was telling me Obama is a Muslim and his wife isn't proud to be an American. I started to tell my grandmother that these stories in the media are not all true and the truth isn't just black and white, and she interrupts me to say she isn't a bigot or a racist I would have voted for Colin Powell. I wished her a happy Mothers Day and moved on. Just what we should all do... Move on...

obama cannot win against mccain so the only reason that superdelegates can't pick her is because of her color

Hillary Clinton will make a great president. Obama is not the right choice. The democrats will lose the Hispanic and other minority votes if they go with him. I love Hillary's determination. I will vote for her!!!

eb

what is a "popular vote" exactly?
does that mean all other votes are unpopular?

Billary go home

Obama might win five states in November, if he's lucky.

At least Clinton would have been competitive.

Everyone calling for her to step down are just afraid that she WILL WIN!!!

The FCC should investigate the way the media and press have been conducting themselves throughout this process... especially MSNBC!
They are trying to impose undue influence on the outcome of the nomination!

NO BAMA WHO IS HE AND WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES HE HAVE>MAYBE AT A LATER TIME AFTER HE GROWS UP AND HAS SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR EXPERIENCE

Lets look at it the first day of the campaign season the lady HRC says she will be commander in chief day one. We are how many days into primaries and she is not the TOP dog yet. How can she be the commander in chief the 1st day in office. She made mistake of running the campaign. This is just a small thing compared to the 3:00 AM thing she has been touting about.
She has FAILED please DROPOUT before you become a PEST.

Two rounds of a Clinton administration was enough. I lost all respect for Hillary when she failed to divorce Bill Clinton after they left the White House. How can any women support her when she continued to put with Bill's fooling around? That lack of action speaks volumes for how she acts like the same old Washington insider. Step out of the way and let the Democrats focus all their attention on McCain now.

OBAMA 4 PRESIDENT. KEEP WITH THE HATE. YOUR CANIDATE WILL NOT WIN AFTER ALL YOU HATERS AGAINST THE CLINTONS THROUGH THIS RACE., YOUR TIME WILL COME WHEN WE GET EVEN VOTING REPUBLIC. ALL YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS SHOW IS HATE, DIVISION , RACIST, AND BIAS ATTACKS. THE POPULAR VOTE IS WHAT WILL COUNT AT THE END. YOU DONT THROW OUT TWO STATES OF THE COUNTRY. THIS RACE HAS BEEN FIXED FROM THE MEDIA AND O.B. BUYIG AND THREATINING HIS SUPER DELIGATES. ITS THIS COUNTRIES LOST IF HRC LOOSES. HE WILL GET BEAT IF NOMINATED AND WE WILL BE REPUBLICIAN FOR 4 MORE YRS ATLEAST. ITS ALL BECAUSE OF RACE VOTING RACE AND YOUNG STUPID VOTERS THAT DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY ,ONLY GLAMOUR, VIDEOS AND SMOOTH TALKING CON MEN. AMERICA DESERVES WHAT THEY GET. ONLY HRC SUPPORTERS HAVE WISDOM ABOUT THE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY. GO HRC.

Clinton is going to be the nominee. You Obama fanatics might as well face it now and deal with it. He is not electable. Period. I don't care how many delegates he has. It makes no difference. If Obama can change the rules in mid-stream, so can Clinton. She will win!!

what will all you Obama fans do if he beats McCain in GE and all
of a sudden he does not know what to do and has bragged a bit much and the the United States of American is in a worse mess than
it is now?

Stay in the race Hillary. Obama will fade like cheap paint job by November. I know CNN won't post this.

Seems to me this rush to push Hillary out says something very important. Is Obama afraid to go to the mat with her? I remember the days when we always picked our nominee at the convention. What is he afraid of anyway.......any of you Obama followers got an answer to that?

How is she doing on donations with all these millions of demos that are going to vote for her??

I think Terry has officially lost it. There's 1.1 million Democrats in West Virginia??? The population of the state was 1.8 million PEOPLE in the WHOLE state according to the 2000 census. Both Puerto Rico and Kentucky had a population around 4 million yet they are going to to have 2 million Democratic voters??? Just doesn't add up.

Typical misinformation from T. McAuliffe! Actually, there are 1.18 million registered voters in West Virginia. Total. All parties combined (including the Mountain Party. Hmmmm.) More than half are Dems – thank goodness – but there are not more than 1 million dems. See below:

"The total registered voters in West Virginia include 665,234 Democrats, 347,760 Republicans and 156,199 who are unaffiliated, according to figures released from the West Virginia Secretary of State’s office. There are also 931 registered voters with the Mountain Party and 13,371 with some other alternative party, they added."

Denial is quite the trend these days.

For God's sake you Obama fanatics should be ashamed of themselves trying to blame Hillary Clinton! Since Obama is your presumed nominee?,then the buck should stop with him.Stop hiding and lying,behind Hillary!The chicken has come to roost,and you have to face it .Stop this pretense of diverting the bullet and blaming Hillary.Mr. Terry McAulliffe,the genious in Hillary's camp knows what he is talking about.What is the urgency in this rush in the middle of a stark dark night??? Stop it,recollect the facts and give the Democrats and Republicans find the right leaders.Not those shoved in their throats.It is a new day and a bright morning in America.We need the right Leaders.Let the voters decide,and ofcourse they WILL!!!!!!!Yes!!!!they WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since when does Popular deside the primary?

If you're going to count the popular vote, you better find a way to count the caucus states. After all, those votes were cast by a percentage of the population. Of course, I'm sure that Clinton voters will conveniently ignore this fact. Pathetic...

Regardless of what the press has been throwing at us, the primary election is not over. Senator Obama does not have the required number of delegates to give him the nomination. There are voters in remaining primaries who deserve to have their votes counted.

The votes of Florida and Michigan must also be counted. The DNC was wrong to disenfranchise the voters of FL and MI for a decision the voters had no control over.

I'm telling you, Obama supporters, you're doing far more harm to your candidate than you are good. Every time I read the vitriol towards Hillary it makes me more and more determined to stay home on Nov. 8th.

Say what you want about Hillary supporters, we will largely determine whether or not Obama wins in November. Please don't forget that.

ALL Read Terry's book. He made mention about penalizing Michigan for the primary debacle in 2003. Hillary herself said in October, that Michigan and Florida primaries would not matter. The clinton camp said that the magic number was 2025 in February. Now it's 2209 according the Clinton camp. What's up with changing your mind when you are losing. Sounds like " its my ball so I can change the rules when I'm losing". Not a good leader!

obama for 2008

Actually, Michigan Democrats offered a fair solution to their votes. It even gave Hillary 10 more delegates than Obama. Obama agreed to it. HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN REJECTED THE PROPOSAL from the Michigan voters. Seems like if she wants "every vote to count", she should have accepted the idea that came from the very state she claims to be defending. Guess she suggests ALL the votes should go to her?

McAuliffe is a dirtbag just like his boss. They think if they say that crap enough times, the sheeple will believe it. Of course the neglect to mention they agreed to the rules so those so called "popular" votes in Michagan and Florida don't count. Is this the kind of person we want in the White House?

Who cares she just need to go home sooner rather than later.

Strange, I thought she was a shoo in for the most UNpopular. Did everyone who voted for her sleep through the '90's?

wake up sir. eventhough I disagree with you but I love your energy that will help Obama a lot for General election. I think you can do a lot for Obama please join the club or don' t say a lot of negetive stuff the next two weeks.

It is 3:00am, the phone is ringing. .. We do not want a delusional person answering the phone. Hillary, hang it up!

OBAMA '08 Yes We Can!

Most likely she has lost, I agree. But I think before everyone goes and states the obvious, that the real issue she is trying to raise is that SHE HAS WON many important states that the Democratic Party needs to win the GE. This is troubling for the Democratic party. I think they are so anxious for a nominee that they are throwing all their eggs into one basket.

Have we all been sold a bill of goods with this one? Why are people still voting for Clinton if there is no way for her to win?

THIS IS TROUBLE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares if she wins the polular vote???? Really!!!

A friend of mine won a raffle last week. Like Hillary popular vote claim, him winning the raffle has nothing to do with winning the 2008 Democratic nomination, alas in the REAL world (not Hillary's world) its about the number of Delegates.

2025 the painful reality for HRC.

I am a life long Ohio Democrat, as well as my family and many of my friends, We are all Clinton supporters and can not believe how heartless and cruel the media and all these Obama supporters on these blog boards are to her. You people need to think twice and watch what you say, You know that saying "what goes around comes around " and come election day, McCain will win by a landslide, with the help from alot of voters like us.

What everyone seems to forget is that there are at least 72 MILLION registered Democrats. Less than 31 MILLION have in these primaries.

Let's get real. The inspired and the fanatics are the only ones who vote in the primaries to decide the general election candidate. The other 41 MILLION Dems will show up in November and vote for whomever's on the ticket.

So don't get it twisted. You can cry "I'll vote for McCain if Hillary's not on the ticket" all you want, but the majority of the other 41 MILLION will side with the DEM candidate.

Whatever!!!!

WHEN HILLARY WINS THE POUPLAR VOTE AND WE GO TO THE CONVENTION YOU WILL SEE A L;OT OF THE SUPER DELAGATES SWINGING TO HILLARY. IN THE MOST RECENT POLL THE PUBLIC WAS ASKED WHICH MATTERED MOST THE DELAGATE COUNT OR THE POPULAR VOTE. THE POPULAR VOTE WON. I JUST WISH THAT THE OBAMA PEOPLE WOULD SHOW SOME SMARTS. AS THEY ARE NOT SHOWING GOOD SENSE.

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of Repubs posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE REPUB HATE MACHINE!

If you were getting paid as much as he is, you would begin to believe what you are saying too. Plus he has the added job of making sure he gets paid.

This guy is funny.

Hillary, please keep the little respect that you still have. You are in a state of denial. Hillary are you on your period? That would explain this craziness.

I honestly can't fathom how people will vote for McCain to "send a message" in November if Obama is the candidate. As a democrat, it is mindboggling to me. Why on earth would you want to do this to your children or grandchildren? Could you really sleep at night? I've been an Obama supporter from day one, and you can bet that I'll be voting for Clinton if she is somehow the candidate. I almost can't even stand her, but what matters are the ISSUES. Not trying to prove a point just because I didn't get what/who I wanted. That is not only childish, but selfish.

Why are the Clinton loyalists so opposed to Obama that they will vote for McCain or not vote at all? That's crazy! Both Clinton and Obama have to same agenda in a lot of areas! He did not steal this from her. He played the game fair and square. He planned his strategy for the campaign very well. Unfortunately, Hillary did not. HE was underestimated by the Clinton Machine. Don't hate on him because he has virtually won the nomination. The Clinton camp is trying to change the rules, not Obama! The bottom line is this; Are you / we willing to deal with another Republican in office just to spite Barack Obama. That's CRAZY people! Wake up!

What's the real reason?????

Even if he is correct.. That will be her only claim...

According to Obama, he has been campaigning in all '57' states, so I think he should get the popular vote. Hey Obama, spell 'potato.'

At this stage how can Clinton win the popular vote? No wonder the Democrats did so badly before with morons like McCauliffe at the helm. He can't even do the math let alone face the facts. Even WITH Michigan and Florida she doesn't win the popular vote.

Everytime one of their targets is missed they make up a new one and pretend the previous one didn't exist. Utterly crazy.

Hopefully when the Clinton campaign finally dies she can take idiots like Terry with her and let the Democrats have some decent leadership for a change.

Those of you who will vote for Senator McCain just because Senator Obama will be the Democratic nominee are pathetic.

To me, Senator Clinton has already won the popular vote. Just look at the typical negativity on the above comments coming from Obama supporters. Just keep it up and more people will vote for Hillary. Who wants negativity in the White House? Certainly not me!!! Florida and Michigan will be counted and SHOULD BE counted in a fair manner. Michigan is another story, but Florida's results from our primary of January 29th were legitimate. I am so glad and proud that Hillary is a fighter and the best candidate to run against John McCain. No question!!! There are a lot of voters out there that agree that she should be our nominee. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP SENATOR CLINTON. WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can anyone vote for Clinton? She lies constantly. She claims to be a "down home" democrat, but she didn't want to be a Senator in Arkansas. She had to go to New York and find ways around their election laws to get elected. The only reason she's even still in the contest now is that she has so many analasts and strategists. I mean come on, shoting wiskey and stories of learning how to shoot. Now she's claiming a victory for a state where Senator Obama wasn't even on the ballot.

Talk is cheap. The trick is to get 2,025 delegates.

The race is over, give it a rest!

That's it Obama keep neglecting the Rest of the Primaries and you will lose...You should not be general election campaigning until the primaries are over...OOOpps that Elitist attitude is coming through again.............

Hey CNN? Why don't you try explaining the popular vote and how it really works? Like that in Wolfson's calculations the caucus states are not included. Like that some states include Republicans and Independents and some don't. Like that he is counting zero for Obama in Michigan.

Or maybe you could explain that there are far better measures of popular opinion. Like polls. Like the polls that show if you redid the vote in CA & NJ, Obama would win.

Or if this is too much work, maybe just don't report on things Wolfson is saying on less they make at least a modicum of sense.

Thanks.

> Can someone, anyone PLEASE just tell us five things that Senator
> Obama has done for either his state or our country?

1. Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006
2. Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act
3. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act
4. 2007 Government Ethics Bill, became law
5. Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill

I can give you another 100 if you'd like but you Clinton supporters are too ignorant and too blind for it to make a difference. Keep up the yelping, it's doing your candidate a world of good.

Is this by Hillary's count where she gets all the MI votes and gives Obama none? Does this include the four caucus states she omitted in her last "I'm ahead" count?

A misleading representation of vote count and delegate count her campaign has been proposing isn't going to impress the folks that matter. We already know who has won this primary, but she should finish anyway just so she has a feel good story for her supporters.

good for them.

I hope Obama takes the rest of the primaries very seriously and turn out as many voters as possible. He should not give Hillary any basis for argument . Obama should defeat her even in popular votes or else she would say and do anything to get nominated.

Note: He is silent on South Dakota, Oregon and Montana. That is the power of positive thinking...... I call it creative math. Count those that you do like and leave those out that you don't like. I thought everyone's vote counted.

Let us stop playing politics and race card like Clinton's are doing and look in to their values and what they can offer to our country.we supposed to be the a role- model. so far Senator Obama is leading his campaign on higher ground to attract my vote.

if we include MI (and be fair and add uncommitted delegates for obama^^) & FL – could clinton win the popular vote? maybe if she ends her campaign after kentucky/oregon?

Popular votes should count more than caucuses.

I'm convinced now that Terry McAuliffe has been sniffing tubes of glue again with this ridiculous tripe. Wasn't enough he pretty much destroyed the Democratic Party when he was in charge now he wants to finish the job completely? Terry McAuliffe and others of his ilk are why I no longer consider myself a Democrat. I hope the whole party implodes at the convention. Perhaps to repair the damage you have to destroy it first.

Clinton and Obama are both lightweights.

Interestingly, it looks like the Democrats wil nominate the lighterweight of the two. The Democrats should be able to destroy McCain in November but it looks like they want to help make a race of it. Funny.

Unfortunately for you, the rules state it is about delegates NOT the popular vote. Play by the rules or go home!

This is disheartening- but not surprising- The Clinton campaign will do all they can to divide the party so she's ready to go in 2012....Let me tell you something- This will NOT be forgiven NOR forgotten and she can permanently kiss the White House good-bye. Take that to the bank. She will NEVER be President.

1.) She's not going to overtake Obama in the popular vote.

2.) Even if she did, it wouldn't matter – delegates win the nomination.

Laughable. In not even mentioning delegates, McAuliffe may as well just admit that she (Clinton) has already lost.

And then will she drop out?

I believe she is still in denial. Hope the remaining sdtates makes this easier for her to exit the race. Voters are smarter and hope they think what is best for the country not for the Clinton's clan

Wisernow Has it right. The Obama Campaign is the spoiler for the Democratic Party. In November the The Republican Party will roll over Obama like road pizza. The Dems Have Settled for this because they don't want to expose Obama"s National Security issues. The Republicans are more gifted at that game.

I'm convinced now that Terry McAuliffe has been sniffing tubes of glue again with this ridiculous tripe. Wasn't enough he pretty much destroyed the Democratic Party when he was in charge now he wants to finish the job completely? Terry McAuliffe and others of his ilk are why I no longer consider myself a Democrat. I hope the whole party implodes at the convention. Perhaps to repair the damage you have to destroy it first.

A few more weeks and Clinton and her camp will run out of their what-if scenarios. I am beginning to wonder if she is so determined to get into the White House that she may consider an indepedent bid in November... I doubt it, but she is starting to look that deluded.

Super AND pledged delegates really need to look at who can win in the general election. Right now, Hillary has the best chance of beating McCain, and that advantage will be lost if Obama is the nominee because many of Hillary's more conservative and centrist loyalists will vote for Mc Cain rather than for Obama because he is perceived as being too liberal. We cannot chance losing this election and it is impossible not to consider race and gender in this issue. Many blacks are supporting Obama simply because he is black. By the same token, (no pun intended), many women are supporting Hillary bacause she is a woman. All political correctness aside, Sen. Obama cannot win because of the black vote. Hillary must be our nominee.

Say NO to Obama, Obama is a speech maker, empty suit.

NO NO to Obama !!

Terry, let me guess how you got to that calculation:

Popular vote
=
+ Total relevant votes cast*
+ Michigan votes
+ Florida votes
- Caucus votes

So all you have to do is discount all the caucus states (where Obama won big) and add in the states that don't count for anything (one of which didn't even have Obama on the ballot), and all of the sudden Clinton wins the popular vote. Hmm...not sure that I'd consider that "winning the primary vote". The Hillary spin machine out-of-control.

* Relevant votes defined as all democratic votes (primary plus caucus) in states that will seat delegates at the convention based on primary/caucus results.

Hillary has 30 years experience in trying to keep her husband from having affairs, that's all. She simply was the "first lady" with a failed health care plan. Wake up people ,think about your future. Obama will help us find our way .Hillary said "if I knew then what I know now I would not of voted for the war". What does she know now about universal health care that she didn't then? (her 8 years in the White House ). Nothing.

The gentleman is blowing smoke, of course. He forgets that Florida and Michigan were not a election any democracy would validate, any more than a Communist Party election counted in the old Soviet Union. She had no opposition. And until she does have an election in those two states where people have a choice, they are irrelevant.
And the only way she could win the popular vote is if, not only West Virginia, but EVERY state from here on out gives her an 80% majority. It ain't gonna happen.

If the Dem super delegates don't go for Hillary .... she can beat both McCain and Obama as an Independent! She has the moxie to win!

Seems like only the Clinton News Network really cares what
Terry McAulife has to say these days.....

This guy is King of Denial, to Hillary's Queen!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jerry in Boston is on dope. It's a little early in the day to be all hopped up, no?

At any rate, Just because Kentucky has 1.6 democrats and WV has 1.1 does not mean that all of them will vote in the primaries... Duh!

Did McAliffe forget that South Dakota, Idaho, and Montana will vote too? Did he also forget that they will overwhelmingly go for Sen. Obama?

It's time to face facts, Sen. Clinton. You had a good run and no one can take that away from you.

What is this guy smoking? Terry McAuliffe has officially lost his mind. Yes, McAuliffe, keep telling yourself that Hillary Clinton will win the popular vote, eventually you'll start to believe it (insanity is upon you). Get a hold of yourself and snap out of it. Your candidate is a pathological liar and so are you.

So it finally has sunk in that that your master plan, stealing the nomination from Obama, is not going to work. Sad, so sad.

So all the Obama supporters were throwing it in Clinton's supporters face that popular vote is a big deal; but now apparently it isn't. I still do not get Obama or his supporters and they continually make me want to vote someone besides Obama.

Am I missing something? If the popular vote was that important wouldn't Al Gore have been the President after Clinton?

need help buying a new life?

try the obama camp

Obama doesn't have the track record to win in November!

Hillary is the candidate with the winning track record and enough supporters across all demographics to win back the White House.

Obama is NOT QUALIFIED and can NEVER beat McCain,

McCain will enjoy a 60 to 75% national landslide against Obama!
Vote for Hillary 08

People, remember that no matter how you try to look at it, Obama CANNOT win the general election. The states he has won, like North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, Louisiana, and so many others will go to the Republicans in the fall. He has not won states that can go either way.

Also, 50% of Hillary's supporters will either stay home or vote for McCain if Barack gets the nomination.

Obama has no chance of winning. It's just not going to happen.

I find it hard to believe that there are 1.1 million democrats in WV. The state population is just slightly over 1.8 million. If 1.1 million of those are registered democrats, then WV should not ever be a "red" state in any election, and yet is has many times in the past.

this is becoming a cruel joke... kind of like the 2000 election that brought Bush to power.

There's something patently absurd about ignoring caucuses in the count that you're using to try and win superdelegates, a body which essentially amounts to a national caucus.

The whole "Clintonian" team are in denial.

BARACK OBAMA ALREADY HAS THE NOMINATION.

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

Remember, the Clinton camp put their foot in their mouth when they predicted that she would win IND and NC. They're were so wrong, like her judgement on the Iraq war.

Let's face it she made a HUGE miscalculation thinking it would be all over after Super Tuesday and she had NO plan of attack after that thanks mainly to her advisors. It was a very badly run campaign to t hat point and big mistakes were made by Terry McAuliffe et al. One day they will admit it..after this is all over and all the dust has settled. She is a very strong woman and very intelligent it is really too bad she didnt have a better campaign manager and team of advisors at the crucial times in her campaign when she needed them.

Have you seen this jerk talk? He is nuts!!!

CNN..you factored in as best you could the caucus states....so tell us.....does she have a snow balls chance in hell of gaining a lead in the actual (includes caucuses) popular vote??

I thought not................her campaign is toting spin again...business as usual with the Clinton Camp.

The constant twist of rules, with this being the latest, prove the Clinton campaign has a "win anyway, anyhow" strategy. They are willing to cling to any hope to try and rally her insider ties to overturn the party rules, ultimately alienating many of the voters she whole heartedly claims to be representing and possibly costing the party in Fall.

Obama & His Campaign Would Like An Early Close To This historic Primary …. They What Us To Beleive They Have Won ….. Truth Is They Haven't … Hillary Has The Edge Now , And can Win The Primary !!..... And YES The Math Is In Her Favor !!!!

Obama 's Campaign Is trying To Buy The Nomination ...... Nice try Obama ..... Hillary Will NEVER Sell Out The American People ... She's A Fighter , She Will Go The Distance And Will WIN The Nomination For PRESIDENT !!!!!

GO ! HILLARY !!!!!! YOUR THE WINNER !!!!!

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON !!!!!! 2008"

Give it up obamadites, Obama will never be president. If Hillary don,t put him away in June, McCain will defeat him by a land slide in November!!! Oh, there goes your HOPE for big welfare checks!!!!

Obama can be made the nominee by the DNC, but with all the cheating, disenfranchised voters and dirty olitical antics of this primary season, he will never have LEGITIMACY.

Without his acceptence by most democrats, he stands no chance at winning... unless he continues to cheat.

I LOVE IT!
THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE GETTING IT RIGHT! EITHER STAY HOME OR WRITE HILLARY"S NAME IN ON THE BALLOT IF SHE DOESN'T GET THE NOMINATION!!!!!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THE SUPER DELEGATES WILL PICK OBAMA BASED ON HIS PAST AND PRESENT ACTIONS!!!!!!

I GOT SCREWED OUT OF MY VOTE IN FL BY OBAMA! I AM NOT GETTING SCREWED AGAIN IN THE GENERAL!!!!!!!

IT'S HILLARY OR NO ONE FOR US!!!!!!

Go Hillary- this family- like half of the Democratic party- supports you 100%!

Hillary will win the poular vote and she is the strongest to lead the country in these desperate times. why are obma supporters so negative and mean are they so scared she shows him to be weak?

No not all 1.6 million voters in Kentucky will be voting for Hillary. I think that she and her aides are all suffering from a state of shock – that she will not be the Dem candidate. The poll that was taken in Kentucky was so bias – it did not factor in a proper number of people to reflect true numbers.
When Obama wins I and thousands of us will work very hard to make sure he becomes President of the USA.

Go Obama

First of all, the only way she wins the popular vote is if Michigan is counted without Obama getting the "uncommitted" numbers and it also does not include the multitude of people who voted for Obama in the caucus. Second and most important, popular vote means nothing! She's gonna lose overall states, she's gonna lose pledged delegates and she's gonna lose Superdelegates leaving her with only one possibility and that's the one her people are talking up.

It's really sad actually. I wish she would just keep quiet and keep getting the donations that she'll use to pay off her 20 million debt. That the REAL reason she's still in it.

In 2004 general election, which we saw record breaking voter turnout nearly 750,000 voters came out to vote in west virginia. Off which Bush got about 423,000 and Kerry got just above 326,000. I don't know how Terry McAuliffe came out with 1.1 million democrates in West Virginia. I guess math is not their thing inside Clinton camp.

It's time to Unite...

Obama '08 & 12'

Who cares? She's old news and just history now!

That a girl !!! Hillary Rocks. Hillary08

that's right hillary will be ahead in the popular vote, and after the shabby way she was treated by the democrats, howard dean, and nancy pelosi, she should take everyone of her popular votes and run as an independent candidate. why should she help unify a party that backstabbed her. vote hillary clinton independent candidate 08!

B,

why don't you tell us what Sen. CLinton has done for this country?

Keep trucking on Hillary. You are the best choice...Barack is full of nothing but hot air....

if all those chicken super del didn,t abandon her she would win this election shame on you supers, shes they only one that beat mccain in the gereral watch an see if shes not nonimnated, she deserves to be the president she has more spunk then any person i have veer met GO GIRL hillary 08 for president

Obama didn't want Michigan or Florida to count, but now he has the 'audacity' to visit to obtain votes for the GE??? For someone who wanted change he sure behaves like a 'changed' politician.

Hillary 08!!!!

Democrats, please don't fight each other. Let's save our strength and energy for the general election.

This turmoil is almost done. Please be kind. We've got lots of problems to solve when we regain the White House, and we need to be united.

And don't lose heart regarding people saying they'll vote McCain if Clinton doesn't win. Not going to happen. True Dems will vote for the Democrat nominee. Fakes (e.g., Republicans trying to stir up trouble on the forums) don't deserve your concern. Don't worry. The time is approaching when we can clean up the mess.

CNN – I get the feeling you like the infighting. Will you post this, I wonder?

Senatpr Clinton need to drop out of the Democratic Race and RUN INDEPENDENT!!

Obama is in the lead because many of his supporters including prominent DNC members used the same old politics Obama says he deplores against Clinton!

Many people have lost respect for the Democratic party and MOST Of Clinton supporters can not and will not vote for Obama!

CLINTON RUN INDEPENDENT!!!!

Delusional Terry...On Meet The Press, Terry could not keep his eyes up while lying about campaign loan of Clintons and counting of votes...Everyone knows they have lost....No wonder Howard Wolfson has already signed a book deal.

Hope '08.

WV and KY will be red states no matter which candidate wins and PR doesn't vote. So, how are they relevant? Obama needs only TWO swing states to win the general, that's it.

Folks,

I am watching cnn right now, guess who is on? cnn's very own clintonite! Lou Dobbs!

I have a little ditty for this disgusting excuse of a reporter. here goes.

Lou, what you gonna do when they come for you Lou, what you gonna do when they come for you, what you gonna do when they come for you Lou, what you gonna when they come for you! (Barack's Supporters)

CNN...will you post this?

Your ticker is dominated by Clinton non-news. Here in the real world, the presumptive nominee has picked up four more superdelegates and is now 150 delegates (pledged or super, doesn't matter) away from clinching the nomination.

Obama has gained over 25 superdelegates since Indiana...that will more than erase any gain Clinton makes in W. Virginia AND Kentucky!!

Again, will the Clinton News Network post this?

Winner Takes All makes Clinton the Winner
Obama fractured the Democratic party and has fractured America
Obama can't win.
only America can loose.
Even McCain is better than Obama at least we know what he stands for.
Obama flip flop on the War and on Religion.

Hillary Who?

Victor,

The polls in Indiana showed that Obama was leading first then Hillary leading and she won.

I just love them DEMS. If Hillary gets the majority of the primary popular vote but Obama has most pledged delegtes, it looks a lot like 2000 to me w/Gore getting more votes but W getting getting electoral votes. Next time, perhaps the DEMS will figure it out – like we Republicans have – and give the candidate who wins a state's primary ALL the delegates – no more of this proportional allocation of votes.

After the June 3rd primaries neither candidate will have the 2,025 delegates needed for the nomination. Obama will still have the delegate count lead and Clinton may then concede. However, she still will have the right to take it to the convention floor. Regardless, the Democratic nomination will not be won by anyone. It will be brokered by party leaders.

Superdelegates should END this nonesense.
Please show some leadership for the good of the party.
Come on....
What are you waiting for?

Obama '08

now the goal for hillary is to go out saying she accomplished one thing the pop vote by a smidget. she figures this will help in 2012.

it's sooo sad now watching her struggle and losing so much money. that's not fighting, that's a fool.

Her supporters need to step up and help her balance her campaign finances– NOT OBAMA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID FROM SANTA ROSA, CA!!
SHE WAS NOT READY ON DAY ONE OF HER CAMPAIGN!!!
(Now she may have THOUGHT she was...over-confident,
ambitious to a fault, and obviously underestimating her
opponent), albeit, SHE WAS NOT READY. THE PROOF IS
IN THE PUDDING!!! Nice lady though....likes being part of
the it takes a village and all, but let's face it, her run is even against
divine providence. And THAT says alot!!

Um, I thought Puerto Rico doesn't vote in the November election,
so why count popularity there?

Just because the Clinton campaign says it doesn't make it true, CNN. Clinton will not make up the popular vote, the remaining states do not have enough voters and Clinton will not win by a big enough margin.

This is truly pathetic reporting by CNN.

TO THE PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA WHO WANT THEIR VOTES TO COUNT MY QUESTION TO IS THIS DID YOU AGREE TO HOLD A EARLY PRIMARY?IF YES THEN YOU ARE AS DUMB AS YOUR LEADERS! CLINTONS AND OBAMAS NAMES WERENT EVEN SUPPOSE TO BE ON THE BALLOTS,HOW DID CLINTONS NAME GET ON MICHIGANS BALLOTS?

COUNT THE CAUCUS STATE'S THEN!!!

McAuliffe is absolutely delusional. He makes these grandiose proclamations, and never mentions them again when they don't come true. What happened to last Tuesday, and how great a day it would be for her campaign?

hillary "you have to give me the nominee because i am the wife of bill and i am a fighter but some time i lie" ba lla lla lla...........

not fair! hillary upset me. she called me dumb. i will vote ombama not mcsame.

Was Clinton prepared on Day one? Whatever you think, she learns like nobody else! Look at her now! She gets stronger and stronger and I don't see the same with Obama – who is only now starting to speak about substance. it's going to be another case of 'Gore" She wins the popular vote but not the electoral vote! Amazing.

Hillary should run as an independent. Screw Obama. Not for a million bucks would I vote for that Jerk.

Go Hillary. Run Independently!

The Rules of the Democratic Party CLEARLY SAY IT IS DELEGATE COUNT THAT COUNTS. However, even you were to count the popular vote, you would also have to count the caucus states. Hillary Clinton has tried and tried to change the rules as soon as she realized she was loosing. The herself said that Michigan would not count, other candidates took off their names, but Hillary did not. If you want the best description of who she really is and what is now happening , just watch Saturday Night Life on May 10th. The Clintons have no ethical standards.

I just love them DEMS. If Hillary gets the majority of the primary popular vote but Obama has most pledged delegtes, it looks a lot like 2000 to me w/Gore getting more votes but W getting getting electoral votes. Next time, perhaps the DEMS will figure it out – like we Republicans have – and give the candidate who wins a state's primary ALL the delegates – no moe of this proportional allocation of votes.

How many times will Clinton and her surrogates try to change the measure of victory? Is this the kind of forthright president we want?

CHANGE ... is indeed very, very hard.....but, sometimes a MUST!!

And, the GOOD will indeed previal over EVIL!!!

OBAMA 08 & 12

Yep. The polls also showed Obama with a 26 point lead in North Carolina. Guess that didnt pan out to well for him either.

Hillary Clinton will win now that reality, time, and truth have defrocked
Barack H. Obama.
Her knowledge, experience, strength, patriotism and toughness are
far and away the combination of qualities needed to be President of our great country.

The race is for delegates. Popular vote doesn't matter. I don't care if Obama loses to McCain, if bigots, and other Hillary fans don't vote for him.

The point is the rules are the rules, and he has won by those rules. He deserves the nomination, end of story. It doesn't matter whether he is the best candidate or if he will win.

I just don't understand why Clinton and her lemming-like followers won't just let it go. The man won. I know many of you hate that fact. But give him credit for God sake.

what has Hilliry done?

Oh yes she was under sniper fire but what es was she accomplishing there?
She failed miserably to bring bring health care in under Bill's administration. Und yes, she votet for the war in Irak.
What other goodies are there?
GO OBAMA !!!!

More smoke and mirrors (and dreamed-up numbers) from the Clinton(s) campaign. Go collect all those "hard-working white" voters you say you own, Hillary. You still lose.

yea right next they will be saying she let obama win because shes
not a racest.. and i bet they believe in the tooth fairy to

The Clinton campaign makes me puke...lost all my respect for the Clintons. Their legacy is down the drain...

I guess the Clinton camp are trying to change the rules in the 9th inning with 2 outs and 2 strikes on the count. Just leave it up to the Clintons to think they can be game changers at this point. It's sad that she is thinking only about herself and not the Democratic Party. Popular vote?? They need to ask Gore about that rule.

Hillary all the way till November – The best person for the JOB>

Best wishes to Sen. Clinton, but I can't wait until June 3rd gets here. We've got a general election to prepare for.

Democrats United '08

Leader? Your pathological liar is a leader? Is that all you got???
snickering

If it is popular vote...funny how they don't want to count caucus votes..only primary votes....Hillary your team is a joke....if we are counting votes now...then lets count all the caucus states and then tell me count all the votes...not just primary, but also the caucus states....then we will count votes....

Ps. Why doesn't he mention, Orgeon and Montana....Hello!!!!

If we count votes...then tell the caucus states that you are going to disengfranchise them....SORRY TERRY>...pay your debt. If you win I will vote for

In her dreams..... This is just another press release aimed at trying to undermine Obama and the party. Why does the party stand for this? Her numbers include Michigan,which is a joke. Obama's name was not on the ballot, and a full 40 percent voted uncommitted, which was a vote for "anyone but Hillary." He would have won Michigan hands down.

I see why Sen. Clinton is losing the Democratic campaign. First Penn and now McAuliffe rounding her campaign and neither one of them have a clue.

Is this guy so out of touch with life and over all with reality?
I mean i heard him say the ot her day that the only people supporting Obama is AA .........and that billary has the white, latino, and other votes.
I am latina and i could never never NUNCA support this evil woman.

i really thinkg he is in love with the idea of getting a job in billary's fairy tale .............
it is hillarious.

Billary se parece a lost autocratas de Latinoamerica, es peor que los militares quienes hacen lo que sea para llegar al poder.........

con Obama 08 asta la victoria simpre!!!!

Amazing what happens when limbaugh and the far right encourages republicans to get out and vote for Clinton. Subtract those votes, like would happen in Nov., and Obama more than likely has a comfortable lead in the popular vote too.

What do you expect this moron insider to say? I bet his pay check bounces...

Why does the Clinton campaign continue to try to change the rules of the game, mid-game? This makes them look desperate and pathetic.
The rules are the rules, and at this juncture, the DNC is not stupid enough to change the rules so that Clinton suddenly gets the nod. It would create chaos. If Clinton's campaign thinks the rules changes are going to happen, I seriously question their connection with reality.

Last time I checked, the candidate with the most pledged delegates is the winner. If Clinton supporters disagree, please respond.

What is it about these wild eyed Clinton supporters and their blind loyalty beyond reason? I have friends who care about me too, but they are not afraid to tell me when I am wrong. I guess they just have to prove they are the most popular no matter who or what stand in their way. Even when Tim Russert read back McAuliffe's own words too him regarding states moving up their primaries, he stayed with the party line that she can still win, bizare!

With bloggers like this, Obama will never get Hillary voters:
Doom. May 12th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

calling the things in West Virginia people is really stretching it don't you think?

If Hillary doesn't win the nomination, I have this top secret plan that I will register this crazy guy down the street from me who talks to trees and always carries an orange blender around to be our next president. I will stop at nothing to make sure Obama does not win the nomination!! It is FAR BETTER that our country either completely falls apart, or that the Republicans win another 4 years!!

Hmmmmm...

GO HILLARY
AT ALL COSTS
NO MATTER WHAT

To WISER NOW: if you can vote for McCain with a straight face you were NEVER a Democrat.

With the popular vote in hand, Hillary will have to run as an Independent. Hillary-don't let these male chauvinists push you around--super delegates mean nothing-it's the will of the people that counts and that is only measured by the popular vote.

This presidential election will go down in history as the best of times and the worst of times. The best being 3 wonderful candidates–one, a woman, one a minority and one being a very intelligent and humorous senior citizen . These three cross all barriers and are all more than qualified to occupy the office. The worst of times being the media bias and controlling attitude of the DNC. LET THE PEOPLE VOTE!

1) Popular vote total does not include caucuses, which Obama won by huge margins.
2) Is he counting Michigan and Florida? If so, is he giving Obama any votes from Michigan?

Hard working white American for Obama.

i think the reason clinton is staying in the race is she wants to be asked the VP thing but it seems nobody is offering her. folks please tell her not to spend the'109 million' thing.

Oregon for obama

If Clinton wins the popular vote, she should be the nomonie. It is that simple. W are a democratic country.

There are certainly enough votes around the country that will not go for Obama, They will either write her in or vote McCain. These are the ones who vote American, not party line. There are a lot of independents too, amazing, if you all are such good democrats then why do you beat up on two of the most loyal & dedicated democrats of all time.-Bill & Hill. If you look at the math honestly, he doesn't add up either so the game's not over. God I hope we don't get another inexperienced idiot again this time (Obama and his angry wife), God that's an angry acting woman. I don't want her representing us.

Obama supporters will lose the election for him with each and every hateful blog like this one:

Doom. May 12th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

calling the things in West Virginia people is really stretching it don't you think?

Seat FL & MI based on the elections that have taken place.
(Obama does not get MI 55 uncommitted).
Required: 2208.5
Current Obama lead: 52.5

They've lost their marbles. Still trying to tweak and twist and find a way. But guess what, That's aaalll Folks. Game over. The Clintons should now be using trying to use their "base" to support Obama. End this war, end this misery. Obama '08.

OK OK it's Al Gore.

Superdelegates are selecting the nominee – not the voters.

Democracy at its worse!

You don't win by the "popular vote" if you count in all the Caucus states. Oh, you don't consider those "real" contests, so of course you wouldn't count those.

Hypocrites.

Well good. Then what?

I can't wait to hear their excuse for staying in the race come June 4th.

Come on...
Every time they come out and mention yet another "glimmer of hope", I can only feel for the folks who are being conned into donating for the sole purpose of repaying her loans.
We'll give her these last couple of contests to give her the dignity she deserves. And, then? Time to get behind Obama and get in the game with McCain.

Wasn't it Hillary who said little states don't count???? Now all of a sudden the Mecca of the United States has become West Virginia????? I just hope the election there is fair, with no funny business going on. Obama not only has to worry about McCain, but he is also just one person fighting the Clintons. It's a good thing he's young.

Another Obama supporter for unity via disrespecting others:

Doom. May 12th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

calling the things in West Virginia people is really stretching it don't you think?

It's too bad so many hard working people are giving to Hillary's campaign to pay her debts and people like this guy and don't forget her $11.4 million. Of course they are in it till June. A big win in West Virginia means more money, money, money. She can't pay herself back if she gets out of the race.

No one wants to be bamboozled when the economy is this bad. The price of gas means nothing to this guy. If they owe Penn $4.5 million. Imagine what he's getting.

Even if this happened, that popular vote in P.R., which has no vote in the General Election, really shouldn't mean anything. Jay Gore won the popular vote by 600,000 in 2000. How'd he make out?

Enough already. Game over

SO!!!

Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe changed the rules when he lost, I wonder if the went to the same school with Terry and HRC, I thought it only in Africa, they have to be the only ones who knows to lead and nobody-nobody else. I ncase you did not notice wake up stop dreaming you lost, give it up, you mis copied Mugabe's notes and they do not apply here. This is America

What part of West Virginia did the Hill grow up in? McAuliffe stop snorting coal dust, it is messing with your brain.

No matter waht anyone thinks Obama must have been good for something He was Elected and for Him to get this far the majority of people must believe in Him more than the Mispoken Hillary.

Come on West Virginia! Let's make history together and give Hillary a big win tomorrow and a boost she truely deserves. Hillary has shown us time after time that she's strong, intelligent, and a fighter and she will fight for us. She is the one with real solutions to help fix our economy, our country. GO HILLARY!

WISER NOW,

If Clinton endorses Obama after he wins the nomination, do you really want to slap her in the face?

Please reconsider, if clinton wins i will vote her.

Please,
Ronald

Question Terry: What about Oregon, Montana and South Dakota? Don't they count also?

I think Clinton's entire staff has been sipping LDS laced cool aid. She's not only toast, but burnt toast as a result of the horrible guidance she received from pompous fools like Mark Penn, Terry McAulife, and that idiot mouthpiece Woolfson. It's almost laughable and she really looks bad walking around with a fork stuck in her.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times....West Virginia Democrats love liars! Watch out Hill.....sniper at 6 oclock!

That's right. Uh uh! Hillary wins the popular vote and Barack and Michelle can move to Iran and sip tea with their friend Ahmadinejab.

hey.. Billary is so much in debt. She can't run her campaign well and manage her funds. How will he manage the country?

Obama has run such an organized campaign. Go Obama 08

If our next president wears colorful pant suits, no one wins.

Thre's no need for Hillary to quit. All said and done!!! she will end up winning the nomenation . Many more skeletons will be coming out of Obama's Closets. All The Way with Hillary.

Congrats to GOP! Perfect manipulation of Democratic party voters (including independent and Republicans flocking Democratic camp for the time of democratic primaries). Bravoooo!

The weaker candidate will likely get the party nomination, ranks and voters are deeply divided, congrats again

And once again in November, on McCain victory!

Obama has pretty much conceded West Virginia and Kentucky.....so who really cares, Terry?

McAuliffe seems sleazier every time I see him....and, it's always amazing how MIchigan and Florida are nonchalantly tossed into the mix when counting the popular vote – even though the DNC warned those 2 states not ot hold their primary early, or their votes wouldn't count....which even McAuliffe was aware of and personally warned Michigan and Florida that they should not do, or their votes wouldn't count......

Funny how a little time, and a losing candidate changes everything!

Yes, we have thick skulls-
Everyone knows what happened in the Caucuses... you animals who support Obama bullied and lied to suppress the Clinton voters. Yes, you are all about change – change the fair way to vote so you can win.

Payback is, you know what they say.... and Clinton supporters are sticking together to vote McCain should it come to that. The MOVEMENT is on......

My goodness. Hillary was playing with the decked totally stacked in her favor, a primary calendar that benefited her above all others, a huge personal fortune to help finance her campaign, a multitude of supporters happy to send checks for $2,300 to support he, far more superdelegates than the rest of the field combined, name recognition off the charts, and a husband who happens to be the most popular Democrat in a generation.

With all those advantages, she can't even win the Democratic nomination, and we're supposed to believe that she is more electable? What a farce.

This guy's a delusional fool. She's not going to win the popular vote (MI and FL don't count because they decided to break the rules - their won fault) and she's not going to get the nomination. Clinton's scramble towards the end just proves that she's willing to attack anything once things don't go her way. It's more evidence that we don't need her backstabbing ways in the White House.

OBAMA 4 President,

This is why caucuses are barbaric and should be closed down. Last I checked neither candidate could win the number of pledged delegates needed to win. The superdelegates should then use their best judgement using the popular vote and delegate count. Here's a question. Has any previous primary candidate won the nomination while losing the popular vote?

CNN JUST LOOK AT YOUR TICKER AND IT IS CLEAR WHO YOU SUPPORT! ALL NEWS IS CLINTON NEWS TODAY IT SEEMS.

Hillary Clinton's supporters are in denial about her winning just like many people are in denial about racism in America. Her supporters keep telling her to keep going, and some people are teaching their kids they are superior because of the color of their skin. I was reading one blog where someone referred to Senator Obama as "Your Boy Obama". You cannot correct a problem if don't admit there is a problem. And many Americans don't think racism is a problem because they are not at the receiving end of it.

...no mention of the Oregon primary, where Obama is thought to be leading? It's the same day as Kentucky...

I believe strongly that most people on this blog do not "hate" Hillary. I believe that people love the democratic party more, and the Clintons are slowly dampening the spirits of the average voter. Leadership is knowing when to quit and that you have been defeated.

Some one, please encourage Hillary to run as an Independent candidate. This will be a blessing for the Democrats. It will be great for the Clintons to be removed far away from the democratic party, given the damage they have and continue to do.

Why is it that the Clintons always destroy whatever "good work" that they do?

To date, Edwards is highy respected because he knows when to quit in the interest of his party. Hillary should have quit a long time before now. The Republicans quit a long time ago!!!

OMG (oh my god)

THIS RACE IS OVER. WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT OBAMA VS. MCCAIN.

– former supporter of clinton

Obama/his reps took his name off the ballot in Michigan – his/their choice and the consequences for which only he should take responsibility. As for Florida, hmmm, did Obama's campaign illegally spend advertising dollars there? But he wasn't interested in winning...

Hillary you were supposed to be a shoe in for the democratic nod, if you couldn't win amongst democrats you would have no chance in a general election.

You ran a horendous campaign filled with mistakes, you have not proven to be likeable, you have changed your message so many times I know longer believe a single word you say, you have pulled the race and gender cards repeatedly, and you are more interested in winning yourself than ensuring that the democrats win in November.

It is possible that she could win more votes, especially if you count FL and MI. The bottom line is that she should stay in the race until everyone has had a chance to vote, including West Virginia and Kentucky. After all, this is a representative democracy – why would we want to disenfranchise the citizens of this great country; they need to be heard just like the rest of us.

Moreover, both Florida and Michigan should do a re-vote. One can't help but wonder if Florida moved their primary and disregarded the DNC's warning that their delegates would not count because they knew Clinton would win. Was there some type of conspiracy going on – why else would they do it if they were warned not to?

Hillary is staying in the race for a reason. I think she might know that neither McCain nor Obama will be the next president. That knowledge coming from a prophecy in the book of revelation: (chap17 verses 9-11) – But I expect most of you to write me off as a "nut".

Let's hope Sen. Clinton stays in till the "bitter end." She hasn't completely destroyed the Democratic Party yet.

The Clinton campaign is in debt to the tune of 20 million dollars, yet she is determined to continue her campaign until early June. I hope Senator Obama does not agree to bail her out financially. If Senator Clinton''s fiscal management of her campaign is any indication of how she would run the country, we would be in serious trouble.

The Hillary people remind me of Kindergarten children who throw a fit and pout and refuse to accept they lost a game.

I've never seen such sore losers.

Sen. Hillary has been punched left, right and center by the Press – that's why she had all those difficult times... why shouldn't Hillary use the word "white peple" why is it termed racial? Obama's wins are predominantly from African American's and that is a fact. If someone questioned OBama, as a Candidate, it is considered a smear campaign – what is he hiding? – WAKE UP my people, I am an African American, and whilst I believe Sen. Obama is a charismatic Candidate, I will not vote for him just for that reason. Sen. Hillary Clinton is the ANSWER ... I hope she wins all the other contests 90/10
I had more confidence in the SuperDelegates but now I can say – they are just SUPPER DELEGATES.

I'm pretty sure that winning the popular vote (which guarantees a proportional amount of delegates per state) would give the monster from Arkansas (don't kid yourself, she's never actually been a New Yorker) the lead. Since this is mathematically impossible, we can conclude the game is over.

Point. Set. Match.

I hope Hillary wins the popular vote.... THEN Democrats can cry and howl ... just like they did when GW won in 2000.

Chickensssss are comin' home to rooooost democrats!!

LOL

If caucuses don't count, then hillbillies shouldn't count either

I admire Hillary's tenacity. I guarantee you that this race wouldn't have been so riveting to watch if she were not in it. Really what do we have now.? A white old man and a poetical black man. Snore, How many times have we seen that scenario?

But the bottom line remains, can Obama beat McCain? Is this a country for old men? We shall see. Stay tuned for tommorow's episode of Political Surrealism, Amercian Style. And now a word from our sponsors...

Terry will say just about anything. but here is the deal, juste because he said it does not make it true or rational. He is starting to soound like the Bush administration, keep talking loud and someone will buy your argument. Look at the votes, the majority of the people have not bought the arguments.

How can he with a ounce of decency tell us that breaking the rules is okay and there should not be a penalty. When he was DNC Chair he threaten MI with a 50% loss of delegates if they moved up thier primary in 2004 becuase it would hurt the party and cause chaos in the election process. Now he says its okay. Clinton camp has no creditablity and that is exactly why she is losing this race. Look at the poll numbers for trustworthy. These rants are not lost on the people, and they do not have the effect the Clinton camp would like.

Go Away... far far away.

How come Mr. McAuliffe does not mention Montana, Oregon and
S. Dakota where Obama is likely to win and probably offset the
gains Hillary will gain in the mentioned states? Mr. McAuliffe is
in wishful thinking mode or delusional.

The Clinton strategy is to make it difficult for Obama to win against McCain and therefore there will be a second opportunity four years from now . . . . Clinton has to win . . .at an enourmous cost to the democrats.

She does not know how to loose gracefully and help the party win against McCain. Sad! . . . very very Sad!

If the Hillary supports want to stay home or vote for McCain then go ahead. It seems the same as when Hillary decided to hear a presentation on the war instead of looking at all the evidence then go and vote in favor of an unjust war! Stay home and then blame others for the McBush!!

A date is set to finish the election then when someone wants to end the process we give the election to the person select forgetting about all the voters that still need to have their voice heard and bash the person that fails to be the "chosen one" even when the numbers are not complete. Obama does not have the numbers necessary to win (not saying he won't get the numbers) just like Clinton but who cares they have selected Obama. What a great country we live in we are not any better then some of the countries with total control over each pearson vote. Why have an election?

You people who say I'm not voting for Obama or Clinton; those who say I'll vote for McCain or not at all instead, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clinto and Obama have a lot in common but they have very little in common with McCain. On the other hand, McCain has a lot in common with the current administration. Haven't you had enough of this. Your candidate may not win the nomination, tough, grow up. Clinton or Obama are ten times better than the Republican alternative.

there is something fishy going on in politics, it smells pretty bad, but that's ok america, if those clintons get their power back…we are in for one holy stinking war with world leaders like north korea, iran and a civil war in iraq, when she tries to pull on off her tough cookie fits!

mccauliffe is the reason hillary lost.get rid of him, hillary!he's trying to mislead you into believing you can win with just the popular vote.it's a trick,so he can earn more money.hillary needs more supporters to give her the real truth,and recommend she drop out.i just made my third donation to the obama camp,to ensure his victory.

Hang in there Hillary...

Never give up... Never surrender....

Independant if need be.... Hillary 08...

I have no problem with Hillary staying in the race through shortly after June 3 as long as she campaigns on why she believes she should be president while not smearing Barack in the process. I voted for Barack, but I would be proud to vote for Hillary in November if she's the nominee. I only hope that those pulling for Hillary will vote for Barack if he's the nominee. The country does not need 4 to 8 more years of Republican rule.

DELEGATES, DELEGATES, DELEGATES!!! You said it yourself Terry!!!...It's over! Geez...oh well...Hillary will win 20 of 28 WV delegates and that's generous. That gives Obama 8. He only needs 33 to have the majority of the elected delegates. He's be done next Tuesday when he blows her out in OR...he will have the majority of the elected delegates then and he will only need 120 Supers to win the nomination. Let's move on and come together Dems. United we stand...Divided we fall!

Oy, can we just stop this now and focus on November. She cannot win the election. It is impossible.

Obviously, the Clintons and all their attack dogs are in the Clinton LaLa Land!

Sore loser! Your days are numbered!

Of course she's staying in. As long as she's in it, she can still hit her supporters up for more contributions. She's $20 million in debt with $10.4 million from her own pocket. She'll keep going all the way to Denver: She'll be the one with the cardboard sign and the tin cup.

WISER NOW

You only have 2 friends so I guess you will have the last laugh LOL

WHY DOES THE POPULAR VOTE MATTER IN ANY DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD EXCEPT IN THE USA? HILLARY CLINTON IS AMAZING. SHE IS A FIGHTER: WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT. THE COUNTRY NEEDS A LEADER, NOT A FOLLOWER. IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER CENTURY TO A WOMAN IS HILLARY TODAY. BAD FAITH FUELS UNFAIRNESS. OBAMA IS NOT UP TO THE JOB: NO JUDGEMENT, NO CHARACTER, NO EXPERIENCE. Max chicago

Nice to know that "small states" are now worthy of the primary process this week. Hear that Kentuck and West Virginia, you are VERY important. I am going to go out on a limb and say this same exuberance and importance won't be given to states such as Oregon, Montana, or South Dakota. I can hear it now, "No Democrat can win without Puerto Rico."

Terry McAullife is now fighting the same rules he upheld as DNC Chairman in 2004.

Howard Wolfson said its all about delegates in February.

I am not saying that there aren't reasons to vote for Hillary over Obama but would all the Clinton supporters give it a rest with this experience thing. It's a joke. If Obama had made up a story that he was shot at during a function in inner city Chicago would any of you come to his defense after he lied about it? Or if he was going to lose the delegate race? Hillary would be a good president but anyone that bashes Obama while giving her a free ride is just as shameless and ignorant to facts and laws (or rules) as the Republicans and George Bush. "Im going to vote for McCain instead of Obama." What does that prove? Nevermind, we know what it proves and it cant be posted here on the comment board.

For months we the hillary supporters have read a thousand blogs from obama supporters, that ITS THE POPULAR VOTE THAT COUNTS, You have all been yelling that for literally months, and YOUR RIGHT, Hillary for president of the United states Of America, all 50 of them !!!!!!

WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE PLEASE CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW CAN HE BE WINNING WHEN NO ONE REALLY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM HE HAS HAD AN AFFAIR AND ITS NOT COVERED WHAT ABOUT WRIGHT THE GOPS WILL SWIFT BOAT HIM FOR SURE. WE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HILLIARY SO PLEASE EVERYONE GET OUT AND VOTE FOR HER

he has to say that if she exit, that means no pay for him, he does not care about HRC he will drain her all her savings, just wait, that is what we call job security incase you didn't know, this guy is smart.

Keep it up, Hillary, you self-serving narcissist. You're the best thing we Republicans could have hoped for.

the something fishy going on in politics, it smells pretty bad, but you know that ok, oh if those ckintons get their hands on the white house...we are in for one holy stinking war with world leaders north korea, iran and a civil war in iraq, when she tries to pull on off her tough cookie fits!

60 to 40%
W.V – 1.1 – 220 more
Kentucky – 1.6 – 320 more
P.R.- 2.4 – 480 more

Total – in these 3 states she gets 1.02 mil. more votes than Obama
Currently Obama leads by 700K votes
You do the math

If the hypocrites COUNTED everyone that voted she would all ready be ahead in the popular vote....AND YOU KNOW WHAT if everybody plays by their rules....SHE would be ahead in the superdelegates yet again. Because the Obamabots have SAID that the Superdelegates cannot undermine the WILL OF THE PEOPLE...and if the PEOPLE are higher in number for HER then they must SWING her way!!! Also, these pledged delegates are supposed to be going the way of the vote in their states....So, Kennedy.....start swinging!!! She won big up there! Despite YOUR nasty remarks. I cannot even go there with Kennedy...he is no more a Kennedy than Masion! He should have been put in jail a long time ago.

Hillary will not win the popular vote. Simple as that.

Democrat '08 / Barack '08

Undoubtedly, Mrs. Clinton will win in both West Virginia and Kentucky. Nevertheless, it will be too little, too late. By remaining in the race, she risks dividing the party and hurting the chances of its Presidential nominee, Senator Obama, in the November election. She needs to withdraw now and allow the Democrats to unite and heal. Both the country's and the Democratic Party's fates hang on her decision.

Do you expect anything less from a Clinton spokesperson?? Unbelievable spin.....he doesnt say he's figures are based on counting FLA and MI.

Its sad that all you so called democrats are so cultish when it comes to your candidate....Hillary or Barrack. The facts are is that Obama is winning on all levels and since Clinton is losing you would rather support a republican who will do this country worse than Bush is sad to me. Hillary is not Bill Clinton its just a brand name she is running on. Barrack is not tainted by the Washington crap that is hurting us so i prefer someone who is gonna actually get something done. If Hillary was winning and Obama was in her shoes i would support her for the sake of my party.

I want to hear from James Carnival. I love his clownish ways. Maybe we should put James face on a milk carton with the caption: "Where in the world is James the Clown?"

Haven't heard from him since last Monday...... I wonder why......

Dream on Terry. This is them figuring in the Fl and Michigan votes, excluding Obama 100%..He really thinks we are stupid. Game over!

This argument from the Clinton camp is becoming old and tired. I do wonder why the Democrats give Guam and Puerto Rico votes in the primaries, just seems strange. Furthermore, since Guam and Puerto Rico only get half of the delegates that a state would get does that mean that we only count half their votes get counted for the 'popular vote', not that it really matters. The Clintons are not losing their bearings, I think Hillary lost them long ago.

I have never seen such dishonest spinners in all my life.

They insult the intelligence of millions of Americans, fooling themselves into thinking that all they have to do is proclaim with conviction and it transforms into truth.

McAuliffe, Lanny and that egg head Carville have burnt their bridges to ever again having the trust and respect of huge slices of the democratic party !

They say, "if Obama is the nominee, then we will work for him."

Well who would want those pack of jackals ?

Not anyone who wants to be trusted, that's for sure !

Hey why doesn't CNN post what I wrote?? Hillary wins West Virgina and Kentucky due to uneducated voters and the elderly? That just proves who the smart people vote for!!!

GO OBAMA!!

we love him, that is good enough, he is a uniter that should be more than putting a divider to drive the ship she will loose control when pple start fighting

Only because he's paid to say that. (well, supposed to be paid.. guess we'll have to wait and see if actually does get paid.)

I was rooting for Hillary at first, but the way her campaign is/was run is simply absurd...
The Bosnia fire thing was not a mis-speak, it was lying...
I don't like the fact she keeps changing the rules, she said that pledged delegates can change their mind, superdelegates should vote like their state does, she also said MI and FL don't count, now she is fighting like hell for them to count...
I don't think I like what she's doing anymore, I don't like it at all...

I will vote Democratic this year no matter what... For those women that will be upset if Hillary doesn't get the nomination and vote for McCain... Well, we can kiss pro-choice out the window. Yeah, old white MEN making decisions for what women can do to their body, thats rich...

DEMOCRATS CAN^T JUST NOMINATE A WEAK CANDIDATE LIKE OBAMA AND EXPECT THE VOTERS TO VOTE FOR HIM IN NOVEMBER…..

THIS IS THEIR FUTURE….

I enjoy the utter hypocrisy of the Democratic party. The same people who cried foul at Bush's electoral (but not popular) victory are pulling for Obama to win based on delegates and, potentially, not the popular vote. It's as good a case of selective memory as I've seen in my life.

I'll take Obama any day over Clinton against McCain. Obama, aside from his speaking prowess, hasn't done much of anything in Congress except exhibit the egalitarian extremism that caters to the far left and fiction-lovers everywhere.

Meanwhile, Clinton is likely to garner votes from moderates who appreciate her ability to work with both parties and get things accomplished. That won't happen for Obama this November.

Thank you, Democrats. You took a guaranteed victory in November and turned it into the real possibility of failure. Nice job, indeed.

Thank God because Muslims are too scary.

GO HILLARY!!!! Democrats are definetly divided. Hillary can beat McCain, Obama will never see the White House. In the long run, every vote for Obama is a vote for McCain in the fall. Think it over folks, do you really want a third term of Bush politics? You better vote for a proven winner, a CLINTON!

This is nothing more than trying to justify staying in the race, though the eggs are in Obama's basket. That aside, what do you all think of an Obama-Clinton ticket? The chances of it happening and the chances of it winning?

I am totally disappointed at the Clinton camp and the DNC. This should not be going on. Had the shoe been on the other foot, Senator Obama would have been told long time ago to get out. Everybody wants to handle Senator Clinton with kid's gloves. She can't believe that a junior senator destroyed her dream. After June 3rd, it will be something else. For the love of the party, please stop it Hillary!

After blow-out wins in WV and KY, she'll probably raise $10mil the next day. Go ahead...send in your money...let her pay off her bills with your dollars...then complain about not being able to afford your gas.

Terry....Get Real!....And go get a drug test, she can't WIN....(Legally!)

Give it up and get a real life

YES SHE WILL !!!!!!!!

Hillary has a right to stay in this race, but somebody can't count.

Does he really think they going to win the popular vote at the end?

Hillary Math – no wonder our kids are not graduating.

First it was the Big States

Then it was the Swing States

Also was the Super Delegates

Now the Popular vote

Well here is the math

2 democrats – 1 losing the race = Democrat Presidential Nominee Barack Obama

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

or if he loses

CLINTON/EDWARDS '08

JUST NO MC SHAME.

She has said many times, it's the delegates, stupid. Then it's the supers. Now the popular votes. She is losing all across the board now. She cannot win the popular vote even with MI and FL. She made a major strategic error not contesting the caucuses. That's the main difference now. She didn't even win the Texas caucus. Hillary supporters can make all the excuses they want. My favorite is, "he outspent me 3 to 1." That tells me that he has way more support from a lot more people. How she can turn that into a negative is beyond me. She crowed that she garnered $10 million after PA and then begged for more (and didn't get) after IN and NC. She has lent to her campaign and it's still not enough.

She can stay in, but it is beating a dead horse that was spavine and broke down to start with.

Way to go!
What are the Obama supporters afraid of? Why do you want to take the peoples' right to vote away? Hillary isn't talking to empty seats, you know, there are hundreds coming to hear what she has to say and do for them.
I just heard Jack Cafferty say that Obama is our friend basically, that he will do just as well for us as Hillary would, trust him, etc etc. what a JERK. Does he understand human nature? Does he think he is teaching kindergarten?
Why can't he just do what he was hired to do........REPORT THE NEWS. Stop the campaigning. You've been bashing Hillary non-stop. What will history say about you and all this. UGH!!!!!!

Teery is suc a Clintonite! They are building this "popular vote" claim on Hillary getting ALL of Michigan and Florida. That won't happen. Tis campaign of theirs makes me dizzyy, they change the rules so fast, you don't know which way to turn. That is the Clinton strategy Hit and Run,and we'll worry about it later. Nothing like a good old fashioned "clip" in the closing moments, just ask Bubba.

"Senator Clinton has been punched out by the press and still has her chin up and will not quit…"

Give me a break. The press all but kissed her ring when she announced her candidacy. They fell all over her for almost a year. Then she opened her mouth and proved just how devisive and ignorant she really is.

The Clinton people are the only ones in the world that continue to count Michigan and Florida? Everyone else is so over it !!! I would LIKE for the two states to count, but in a fair way. Michigan came back with their final offer of 60 for Clinton / 40 for Obama. Obama said yes, Clinton rejected it. I think we're done here.

When people say "you can't", remember not because they think you can't, they just don't want you to try it.

Count Michigan and Florida too.

There are always exceptions. Stay in the race.

Hillary 2008!

Terry – the DNC Chair of the Clinton era that lost Congress by trying to compete with the Republicans to divide the middle, is out of touch with the tide of the Party's expanding and new base – one which he was unable to engender himself – which Obama has invigorated: youth and previously disgruntled non-voters. Inclusion is about bringing people together, which the Obama Team has done by outmaneuvering the Clinton-monied-cronie machine. The "movement" of people is with Obama.

Sorry, I meant Mudslinging

LOL this guys is a JOKE. Saw him this weekend in total denial. By the way he is trying to count ALL of FLA and MI even with Obama NOT ON THE BALLOT!!

Wait it gets BETTER. HE wrote in his OWN BOOK how he was going to keep MI and FLA from getting its delegates seated BY ALL COSTS because they broke the RULES. Tim Russert caught him on it on live TV!!! " I guess now that you work for Mrs. Clinton your position has changed eh?" LOLOLOLOL

Has The Gimmick candidate announced she will challenge Obama's two young daughters to list all of the bathrooms in the White House, and if they can't then she deserves the nomination yet?

What kind of a looser follows another? Terry following Hilary!

Give her 100% of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico, Game over she still looses!

And where are her supporters and their donations? Not willing to back the looser?

Desperate and Dellusional. It will be interesting to hear what other rationale comes out of the Clinton campaign. Obama has been and will be releasing superdelagates to match any gains that she gets in pledged delagates over the next two weeks.

LOL...OMG.. WT..

Is he ok?

Obama or McCain '08

question for B New York : And what exactly has Clinton done for my state, New York ? I really would like to know !

Let her stay in. I love the company and the laughs.

Right now, Obama is doing what he needs to to end this election season and start to prepare for the GE if he is the nominee.

If Hillary was truly interested in the GE, she would be doing the same just in case she was the nominee.

The people have spoken.
Obama has won MORE STATES 2 to 1
He has won MORE VOTES by 700,000
He has won MORE PLEDGED DELEGATES
He has won MORE SUPER DELEGATES

I think this is a repudiation of the Clinton's by the voter and later by the Democratic party leadership.

That being said. WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH SHOULD HILLARY BE THE NOMINEE???

Because Obama is black? Is that why? Isnt electability determined by a candidates ability to get votes. Well, Obama has more votes. What does that say about Hill's electability.

What next? West Virgina is the tie breaker? The only reason she has not quit her campaign is because she needs more donations to pay her debts. Its all about the money now.

Lunatic.

You would do well to start packing up.

This game is over. All the spin in the world isn't going to change that fact.
Whoever gets the magic number of delegates wins. That's it.

Both have waged a good campaign....however...the crap the Obama supporters fling on Clinton supporters are DIVIDING the party.

I for one, will have a very hard time voting for Obama....because of his SUPPORTERS that blog here.

I will write in Clinton.

Has The Gimmick candidate announced she will prove she's worthy of the nomination by levitating yet?

You all can win the majority vote so what? Steal the election? The name of the game is delegates you losers. Clinton will destroy this party and will never win or achieve her goal. If she goes independent then kiss ever coming back to democrats and become true to yourself like liebermann. and if you stay you cannot cannot cannot win without the base of the democratic party.

Your lust for power will drown you Hillary and make a good movie. And didn't you get the memo? Hillary will never be President again ever, its over not without the base and she just lost them big time.

Go on, fight Hillary! This is just what John McCain needs to beat the democrats in November.

1) Stop to act as if none of us had math in school,
2) stop to act as if we are all stupid,
3) stop continuing to demage the democratic party,

we all know this game is over...even the Spinartist Billary can't change it anymore.... just drop out and let us take on McCain... u did enough demage so far.

If Hillary has so many loyal supporters that are willing to sacrifice the Democratic party and vote for McCain, then why aren't they supporting her financially??? I don't get it! Obama's supporters are obviously doing this in droves. I see it and I'm sure the superdelegates see it too.

If you are such a staunch Hillary supporter, get off the blogs, open your wallet and support your candidate. A far as I'm concerned, until you do that, your "words" here or anywhere else are meaningless.

This makes me more convinced that the majority of the people on here talking up Hillary are McCain supporters in disguise.

Go Hillary!!! I love how people find things wrong with whatever she does. If she wins it's wrong...if she loses she's wrong...She can't win...if she's strong, she's wrong....if she shows emotions, she is weak. Someday......women will all thank Hillary for breaking myths about women in power....women will thank her for not quitting, all will learn about misogyny....all will thank her. She is a heroine of our time!!

About 2 months ago when Obama went on a streak to win 7+ in a row Hillary Clinton said that it is the delegates that count not the popular vote.

Last year Hillary Clinton agreed explicitly that Michigan and Florida will not count. Now they do?

Is this more of the same flip flopping that we have been use to over the last 8 years?

Can someone, anyone PLEASE just tell us five things that Senator *Clinton* has done for either her state or our country?

Two things?

Thought so as well. (In reference to the first post)

With a campaign chairman like that it's no wonder Hellary doesn't get it. When you are surrounded by fools, the only thing left is to be a fool.
Get out, Hill, before you lose all dignity.

Hillary will win @ the convention in August. Many Obamaphiles need to research the 1980 Democratic Primary in which Ted Kennedy tried to steal the nomination from Carter. McCain will handicap Obama by August, and so long as she's in, Hillary, Whitehouse, January 2009. Obama will lose on his own.

All of you Clintonista's who say that you'll vote for McCain instead? What comes around goes around, hope she not planning on running in 2012!

Win the popular vote based Florida and Michigan somehow being valid.

We're back to that fuzzy math where the victor is decided by hypothetical circumstances. That's the President I want!

Hey, Captain of the Titantic–it's over. Let's see should I arrange the deck chairs this way, or that way?

Wow–how is she going lead the country if she doesn't know she LOST. No wonder she voted for the war.

CINTON SUPPORTERS!!! KEEP YOUR CAPS LOCK KEYS ON AND USE AS MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!

SHE NEEDS ALL OF OUR SUPPORT, STUPID AND FUTILE AS IT MAY BE!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter whether she's leading in votes. The winner is the one who acquires the most delegates, and you can't change the rules in the middle of the game.

hey WiserNow, do you and your 'friends' wear white hoods? Obama's policies are virtually the same as Hillary's. Any Democrat who votes for McCain is likely a racist

so what?

Just to add to my previous comments...

The popular vote does not include caucuses, as they don't release those numbers, and as we all know Obama has dominated the caucus formats this year... of course, Billary and her campaign would rather not include/have you know that information.

DEMOCRATS '08

Well thats fair June 3rd isn't far away so let all the primaries finish and then I am sure she will do the right thing for her party.

Words, words matter...I have a dream, words, words matter.

Words, words matter..."This is the first time I've felt proud of my counntry."

Words, words matter..."The Chickens Coming Home to Roost".

Words, words matter..."Bitter people clinging to guns and religion".

Words, words matter..."I couldn't disown Reverend Wright, nor could I disown my white grandmother".

Words, words matter..."Reverend Wright is out of my life".

Words, words matter. Don't tell me words don't matter!

O.K. How long are these people going to spin, spin, spin ? It's pathetic really.

Hillary will win W. VIRGINIA by about a 30% margin. she and those in her camp will make a big deal about. the reality is, that the momentum is fully in obama's favour, having negated a 100 plus super delegate lead in such a short time.OBAMA is charging down the stretch, while hillary sucks wind, pulls up and is vanned off.

I thought the popular vote didn't matter – oh yeah, it's about the delegates, wait those don't matter either because it's about the super delegates, no, that's right, we have count like she counts..............OMG GET OUT!

West Virginia, welcome back to the old south! Let us welcome the democrats who hate the idea of a mix race nation. I thought all those they call biggits had left the democratic party. If you won't vote for Obama because of those "feelings", join the republicans.

Dream on Hillary, dream on...maybe soon you will regret standing up for your hillbilly, womanizing husband who should never have been in the White House in the first place....by the way, tell your kid that ANYTHING that happens in the White House IS OUR BUSINESS, even Bill getting his under the desk in the Oval Office...yes, even that.

I thought the popular vote didn't matter – oh yeah, it's about the delegates, wait those don't matter either because it's about the super delegates, no, that's right, we have count like she counts..............OMG GET OUT!

The superdelegates could take this into account and decide towards her, what is an issue under the present rules. She could also claim Michigan and Florida were not counted, however Obama is not to blame. I my view, though, Obama played the delegates game and if ahead of her, then he should be indicated. Had this been a simple majority counting of popular vote, the instituion of delegates would not be needed. Seems of the game to Clinton

McAuliffe's an idiot!

The photo of Terry McAuliffe above with his hand outstretched made me think of something a friend of mine used to always say.

"You can wish in one hand, and crap in the other......see which fills up first."

It is all wishful thinking on his part.

Mrs. Clinton may win a couple of late-game consolation prizes in West Virginia and Kentucky. What she won't win is Miss Congeniality!

If all the obama supporters weren't so worried about Hillary, then they would quit making so many snide and mean comments. It just goes to show that they are worried about her strength, which is why they're trying to shove her out of the nomination as fast as possible.

Oh, and CNN, you're not going to post my comment are you?

Hilary will Win West Virginia by 125,000 people, she will win Kentucky by 125,000 people, she will win Peurto rico by 125,000 people. and she might even win Oregon, and Montana.

So my point is

YES WE WILL

Hillary will win the popular vote sending the democratic party in an uproar. And if she doesnt get the nomination because of stubburn people.

Then Her stubborn supporters wont vote..

He has to make these ridiculous statements because he knows he is out of a job when the Clinton campaign folds. If I were him, I'd get my money up front and ask Sen. Obama for a job next week.

i think the clinton campaign is just confused with shame cos they thought it was over from the begining, its not easy to admit the obvious.

If she cannot manage a small thing like her own campaign finances, how does anyone have an faith she can manage a country?

Winning the popular vote in a couple of states is not going to change the election results. Obama will still get the nod for president. Hillary supporters will vote for him because McCain is an abomination, and the race will be on.

Yeah, she should get out, but hey . . . she wants to go out big, so let her.

Clinton won Oklahoma by a much smaller margin than Obama won neighboring Colorado. Nevertheless, she gained roughly three times the "popular" vote total, because it was a primary. The delegate count, however, got it correct, with Obama coming out ahead by 5 delegates between the two states. Once again, the point is that caucus states significantly undercount the amount of voters in support of the winner if you use this fictitious "popular" vote argument.

Who cares about WV AND KT? The polls showed that Hilary was leading in Indiana with over 4 percent, we all saw what the result.

Are you saying all 1.1 million Democrates in W.V. will vote for Clinton?? All 1.6 million in Kentucky, all 2.4 million in PR?? Give us a break....... I am sure many, many will vote for Obama...Give the man some credit, he has fought a hard campaign too. Not just Clinton...Remember 16 months ago there were very few people that even knew his name............

When you're marching to the beat of your own drum, it doesn't matter to you if the band is going in the opposite direction. Such a sad commentary for the Clinton legacy.

This guy is beyond delusional. I saw him interviewed recently and he can't say the things he is supposed to say with a straight face. The campaign can scream as much and as loud as they want… it's not going to change the math.

Bottom line: Sen. Clinton was not prepared on day 1.

That is an ironic albeit unfortunate fact.

We need to unite Democrats. The Clinton campaign will catch up with us soon enough.

Of course, what he fails to say is that his claim is based upon counting votes in MI and FL. Keep in mind, Clinton's was the only candidate on the ballot in MI. Slightly more people in MI voted for Clinton as voted for "not Clinton". If "moving the goal post" is so in vogue, then Obama's campaign should suggest that the "not Clinton" votes in MI should count for Obama.

Sorry to say this, but the "change the rules so that we win" game doesn't play with me. It just makes the Clinton people look more and more pathetic. Before Ohio and Texas, Senator Clinton had run a respectable campaign. True, it wasn't a winning campaign, but at least she wasn't seen as desperate and as willing to win at all costs. Unfortunately, not the same can be said of her now. Her negatives are at an all-time high (actually about the only politicians less popular than Senator Clinton are President Bush and Vice President Cheney).

Unfortunately, I think she overstayed her welcome. She's hurt herself and the Democratic party. Too bad paid political hacks like Terry McAullife and Lanny Davis don't understand that. Well I guess they have to earn a living some how.

So these fools will include MI and FL eventhough is was not a level playing field. These sames fools will attack Robert Mugabe for cheating in an election. Can someone tell me the difference here?

Naw! I dought if she wins as many votes McAuliffe predicts. the super's will not let Hillary steal and destroy the party. Hang it up McAuliffe, and Hillary.

Obama '08

Two words Terry--SHE LOST.

That remains to be seen and it may depend on how they deal with Florida & Michigan. Still Obama has won more states, has more pledged delegates & superdelegates. Dean has said that popular vote is not that big a factor. Stay tuned... there's still several months to go before the convention and I'm sure they'll be fussing & fighting about it all the way til the end (whenever that happens).

I just love how the Clinton machine will do anything to strech the final outcome! Do these people think that we are all ignorant and that we are rats following the Pied Piper.

She can,t win, she has lost, the game is over, she can't accept it, but she wiil do anything to bring the ship down if she is not the Captain.

If you the reader and voter cannot see this, than you are equally pathetic.

Maybe this time the bias CNN will post my comments!!!

Here we go again. This must be Groundhog Day.

Obama 08

HILLARY... WE WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!! YES.. IF you are NOT the NOMINEE ALL OF MY FRIENDS ARE STAYING HOME!!!! OR VOTE FOR MC CAIN!!! DO NOT BE So SURE THAT WE WILL VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE WE ARE DEMOCRAT!!!!!!

I hope she wins!!!!!!

Can someone, anyone PLEASE just tell us five things that Senator Obama has done for either his state or our country?

Two things?

Thought so...

Senator Clinton has been punched out by the press and still has her chin up and will not quit... This people is a leader.

doesn't matter game over

....but of course once Hillary is ahead in the popular vote, that will, all of a sudden, not count. The superdelegates will then be urged by the Obamabots not to overturn the pledged delegate count.

You're all a bunch of hypocrites.

Well Guess what Terry, popular votes does not win the nomination, otherwise IOWA will have to count popular votes which Obama won, and then how do we deal with the caucus states?

That is why the winner is decided by delegates! Why are these Cllinton people so thick?

That might be true, but we're tired of you. Why don't you open your eyes. I at one time we wanted a joint ticket, but now This whole campaign is out of touch. almost crazy. Get OUT hillary while you have at least a slim chance at something!!

Permutation for win number 87. She's out of money and ideas.

Wonderful, stay the course. Ignore those telling you to drop out, they
are letting the repugs weigh in here as they fear facing Hillary more
than Obama.

Go the stretch Hillary, you've dealt with negativity and the media trying
to control you thus far, you can handle it the rest of the way. You are our only hope to beat McCain, some are not facing the truth of that.

Thanks.

and then againg he is forgetting that Obama is heavily favored in Oregon,Montana and South Dakota. I don't see McAuliffe or Hillary are going to help Obama ! They are destroying the party. So sad!

Umm, not to be mean, but there seems to be a little bit of denial going on in the Clinton Camp... I think it would be wise to realize the truth and gracefully step aside. Supporters may be shouting, "Keep going!" but, it's not going to change things.

This guy is really smart. Its amazing how the Clinton camp can shift the parameters of this election to fit their aspirations. Last I checked, it is the number of delegates that win this contest, and not the popular vote. If popular vote was the basis for elections, we should have had a different president back in 2000-04.

It just goes to show that the Clinton camp will do anything (2025 to 2209, etc.) to get back in the office. They should stop portraying themselves as people who are after what's best for the party and the country. Its getting more and more obvious by the day that all they care about is to get back in the WH.

After Obama wins by popular vote, what's the next basis of winning, most money loaned to your own campaign?

The Clinton campaign is so "OUT OF TOUCH".

Keep dreaming HRC. Now you're talking like West Virginia should decide who is the nominee, just because you're leading by big margins? Every vote counts, yes, but who says WV votes count more than anyone else's?

Go a head Hillary fight till the end but when you lose and you will; you better fight like hell to get the party united.

You know what will happen to us (women) if Mcsane is in office and get to appoint judges; you remember that while you fight on.

Obama08/12

This guy is in major denial along with Hillary. There is no way she catches up in popular vote. She's too far behind... even counting Michigan and Florida.

I posted something on it once and i got positive feedback, because it was so inspirational.
GO HILLLARRYYY

He has been using his public exposure as of late to sell his recently published book. He is well aware that he will be unemployed just like all of the bitter, small town people that won't vote for Obama. Thank God we won't have to hear his b.s. soon.

I just hope that W. Virginia and Kentucky put an end to the divisive politics Hillary has created and vote for change- Obama!

Obama 08

Whatever. Hillary is now officially working against democratic party interests and serving only her personal interests and career goals. That is the woman many of you are voting for. She is the type that would sink her own ship and everybody on it if she can't get what she wants. I used to think more of her.

You don't win by the "popular vote" if you count in all the Caucus states. Oh, you don't consider those "real" contests, so of course you wouldn't count those.

Hypocrites.

Does this campaign EVER get tired of reinventing the rules?

This guy is a snake.

Do you know what's funny, in the Clinton plan, Obama get 0 votes from Michigan...

These are the same people screaming that "We shouldn't disenfranchise voters in Michigan", but want to make it seem like he didn't get any votes from Michigan.

CNN, do your job! My gosh... this is a joke. What kind of reporting do you do. Geez.

Tell the people who are too lazy to do the research how McAuliffe is coming up with his claim.

Unlike Bill, it looks like Terry McAuliffe *did* inhale.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasnt Billary the one who said that only the biggest states matter and small ones like W Virginia dont.

Go Hillary!!! All the way to Denver and the nomination. Millions of people want you and ONLY you!!!

She won't win the popular vote. And who cares about Puerto Rico... they can't even vote in the election. Typical Clinton strategy... all of the states she wins matter, the ones she doesn't don't mean anything.

I have been to that site, Debbie. it really is a good site for people to voice their opinion on hillary!
HILLARY '08
YES WE WILL!

This guy is King of Denial, to Hillary's Queen!

Why is it okay for Hillary to get cheated out of Florida & Michigan. Obama would be done by now and Hillary would be the winner. I wonder what conspiracy this is part of? I am turning Republican (4-ever) if Hillary is NOT the nominee!

STAY IN! Don't stop the campaign because of detractors who want you to quit! Obama is not the candidate that he claims; he is weak and indecisive. Obama has no clue about real government or how to run a country. What did Obama accomplish after being elected to a Senate Seat? He "strolled through the Senate, had a cup of coffee, and now he's running for President." That's about it, folks!

How do you win something that is not a part of a competition? This is a delegate race and she has lost the delegate race by all accounts. Maybe they can make her a plaque to take home that says, "I lost the nomination, but I won the popular vote". But she will lose the popular vote, because, well, she is unpopular and more so with every additional day she makes believe she has a chance.

Yes, she will and she will make her case that she is a better candidate against McCain and she will win the nomination.

I would never ever vote for Hillary in a million years.

Her family has no morals. All she does is lie to the american people.

I can not support anyone who only thinks of themselves.

I just don' t see it. I'm not that great in Math but I can count. There's no way she will win the popular vote. He's giving her WV, KY and she's not going to win by a very lage number in Puerto Rico if she wins at all.

Even if that's true, its lovely thought, but this is a DELEGATE RACE. Most delegates wins, the end.

You can't cross the finish 2nd in a marathon but claim you should get the gold because you had better form or took more steps or have nicer shoes.

Stop redefining "winner"

Please yourself; the metric remains delegates. You can decide to change the rule as many times as you wish.

The numbers show that she has lost the contest. The longer she lingers the more harm she will do to the Democratic party and the Clinton legacy. My respect for her has fallen to zero.

McAuliffe is only trying to bilk more money out of Hillary...she should send him packing

I totally agree. We need a hard working president who will bring us out of our debt and repair our country.
GO HILLARY!

REMEMBER 2000' ???

You DON'T elect someone who got LESS votes.

Stop calling for the race to end; you'll be sorry in June.

OREGON
4
CLINTON

so

Even if she were to win it, who's counting the popular vote?? Let's all just change the rules, why don't we?!!!

Some one, please encourage Hillary to run as an Independent candidate. This will be a blessing for the Democrats. It will be great for the Clintons to be removed far away from the democratic party, given the damage they have and continue to do.

Why is it that the Clintons always destroy whatever "good work" that they do?

To date, Edwards is highy respected because he knows when to quit in the interest of his party. Hillary should have quit a long time before now. The Republicans quit a long time ago!!!

So what? This race is over.

Someone needs to tell Hillary it is time to get out of the race. Why even spend the money to go on. Her campaign is already millions of dollars in debt. There is no way she can catch up with Obama unless the superdelgates steal the nomination away from Obama, and I doubt very seriously they will do that. Hillary is a spoiled brat who cannot except the fact that she is not going to be the nominee.
The democrats are wimps they need to tell her it is over. If the shoe was on the other foot Obama would be asked to step aside.
Hillary is praying for a miracle.

Maybe Clinton's new strategy is to win the States that no Democrat can possibly beat McCain in. Totally crazy! But what else is new with her?

WOW, I'm kinda feeling sorry for here know, hope she wakes up before she wrecks her ship.

Why are you always changing the rules? Plus, I highly doubt your math includes all the people who showed up to caucus.

Stop the fight and unite.

Democrat 08

are you guys sick or something?

Maybe the Clinton's new argument is that they can beat Obama in States that *no* Democrat could possibly hope to win against McCain. Totally crazy.

you know this guy is crazy he is counting mich. and flo. and i live in mich. and i know are votes dont count. i just wish she would get out.

McAuliffe is the BEST reason to vote for Obama......These "types" of people are always on the Clinton team.....ALWAYS....ALWAYS
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

This guy is just as delusional as Hillary Clinton. He isn't very credible either, what a joke.

We know only the delegate count and nothing else...Let Hillary gets the 5 million remaining democrats. Sorry first lady...game is over.

Obama already stopped compaigning for the primary and he did not compaign in W Va. Obama is going to give all 28 delegates from WV to Hillary. He is concentrating on the general election against McSame.

See you in 2016 Hillary

Wish him the best. Help her with millions more for the camp. Good for the economy now.

The ethical thing to do is to wait until the primaries are over. Just think about it....if Indiana and North Carolina were the last primaries to be held, then the discussion would be different. People talk about there will be a huge riot by the Blacks if Obama is defeated....do they want this election at all costs? Whatever happened to our democracy. How dare the Super Delegates and the media decide who they want for President, and discount the voters. We do not like that, and if the Democrats don't want to lose a huge amount of their voters, they'd better pay attention to what the voters want. We do not want somebody pushed down our throat.

Hey CNN (clinton news network), Obama picked up FIVE SUPERDELEGATES TODAY. where is the reporting???

Hope she wins because if she doesn't I will never vote for Obama, I will take my chances with McCain or not vote at all.......

Yeah, I am pretty sure that he counted 7-10% Clinton's Republican haters. And Michigan and Florida illegal votes. It is called "Clintonian math." Fantastic!

Clinton gets a gold star. But not the nomination. It is definitely silly season in that campaign team. Take a hint guys: You LOST!

I think Wolfson is so immature. The commenst taht come out of that guy are just funny.

And you know Hillary gives him marching orders. he is just the mouth..

With fools like him, no wonder they blew the election and made history as the biggest collapse

Obama 08

this woman must have a different reason than running for a president,
how is that hard for her to understand that she has her chance and she counldn't be the nominee and done deal, just stay home or go vacationing,

Hello McAuliffe, its not about popular vote, it´s Delegate count,so stop dividing the Democratic party, clinton cannot take the Delegate any more, so stop sleeping.

Yes, Hillary will end up winning.

She is experienced, for all the people, and a fighter!

Go Hillary!!!!

Here we go again with the Clinton's math spin. What about being 20 millions of more in debt. Now that's math everyone can understand!

Please leave with grace Hillary.

It's the Electoral College stupid! Obama can't defeat McCain in the key swing states of OH, PA, and FL b/c the demographics in those states have proved they don't want to vote for him

Umm – why are we still reading about her on CNN? Everyone else has moved on. This is so "yesterday's news."

please someone make the 3 am phone call and tell Hillary it's over
you lost, Obama won Good Bey Good Day

And this takes into account caucus states, how?

I love the fact that our country is picking a president based on what Tim Russert, and other say.

This seems fair???

LET EVERYONE VOTE AND PICK THE PERSON WHO HAS THE POPULAR VOTE!!!!!

*yawn*

And if she did win he popular vote...What does that actually worth.. Nothing because you count delegates.

Does anyone know if any president was elected and did not win West Virginia??

and so on, and so on

hahahahahhahah ur funny

McAuliffe is such a BLOW HARD, and a TOOL. Honestly, there is nobody that likes the BS that spews from his mouth except him. This poor excuse was hoping for the VP slot and didn't get, now he has buyers remorse and can't seem to understand what went wrong. I truly wish he continues to talk though, it only solidifies the fact that he is nothing but hot air.

Hillary:

Stop behaving like a spoiled child! You know as well as we all know that you absolutely cannot win this. But yet your ego continues to take precedent over the people in this country who desparately need a Democrat elected in the Fall. You are not entitled to this nomination...the people have spoken LOUD & CLEAR...we don't want you. What a complete disgrace your legacy will be!!!
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU WIN ALL OF THE REMAINING PRIMARIES (which you will not!) YOU CANNOT WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNEW SHE WILL NOT GIVE UP. IT IS GREAT TO SEE THIS GREAT FUTURE LEADER FIGHT FOR WHAT SHE KNOWS IS RIGHT. SHE WILL WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE IN 08. GREAT JOB MRS. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED (50) STATES OF AMERICA

OK, I think I narrowed it down to WV and KY white uneducated racist women are the only votes that count in and election.

GOTCHA LOUD AND CLEAR HILLARY!!!

23 senators had voted against the 'authorization' resolution, these 23 senators opposed Iraq war. The senators that voted 'yes', and Hillary is one of them (McBush too), should not have any moral right to run for an office or serve government. Well, may be except jail time work.

Make people a little more educated, and the voters base for Bush and Clinton will just disappear. Those are the people easy to cheat – low educated blue collars.

Congrats to Obama. Oh wait, I forgot he's not republican. So why does it matter that he won all of these pledged delegates from RED states?

Clueless party running a terrible primary. The only way Obama wins a primary is by following the Democratic nomination process. Republican or General Election vote and he loses handily.

“My opponent Sen. Obama says, “Oh no, that’s just a gimmick, that’s not going to help people,” said Clinton before again arguing that it will save families $70 on average and more for those with longer commutes as well as truckers.

not once have i heard her mention the 300,000 construction workers that she would be putting out of a job.

Obama's plan is much more sympathetic to people who can't afford to lose their jobs.
