Obama won in NC by only 14% and some MEDIA call Hillary to drop out and their said game over, so what about in WV Hillary won by 40% and
the MEDIA said little too late……What's that? it fair for the former first (FAMILY) I think the MEDIA doesn't like Clinton family at all that's why their turn Hillary down every day. Think about this after WI who won more State
why I didn't see nobody call for Obama to drop out this is not a fair politic.

MADAME PRESIDENT, WE SALUTE YOU!!!

HILLARY FOREVER!

THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB IS A WOMAN!

being from Oregon I cast my ballot for Barack Obama over a week ago already. almost everyone I talk to is voting for Obama, I would estimate that this poll is accurate. I don't know about everyone else, but I am tired of hearing the MSM keep replaying over and over again Senator Clinton moving the goalposts, now it's only that she is winning the 'swing-states'. West Virginia is a swing-state even though it has paltry few electors in the general? The just happened to have voted for the winning candidate in the last several elections. that's called luck of the draw.

As with every state West Virginia is important, but no more so that Mississippi, North Carolina or Wisconsin. CNN is arguably the pre-eminant member of the MSM, why do they keep giving free-airtime to Senator Clinton as she tries to strong-arm super-delegates into overturning the decision of the voters and giving the nomination to Hillary Clinton?

How can Obama be looked at as a divider when he is leading on all counts? How about you lose like a person who is mature enough to vote, and go on with life rather than going out of your way to prove you are upset?

Bitter bah-humbug, self-centered and short-sighted attitudes like that expressed by "Hillary or McCain" exemplify "what's wrong with the country". Obama is the best candidate to help us think about what is possible for America and the world and how we ALL have a responsibility to participate in making our communities a better place.

"And I don't care about Roe vs. Wade. I can no longer have children"

It's all about you, huh? sounds like you and Hillary have a lot in common!

Just tell me…who do you think could take the commanding roll in today's headlines…Gaza just moments ago shot a rocket into Israel…Hillary Clinton vows to obliterate them or anyone that attacks Israel Would the game be on right now if she were in charge of this. She rejected what all economists said about her gas tax and I’m thinking she’s more like George Bush with her obsessive compulsive tendencies and willing to and is succeeding to destroy her own party just to do it her way! This is getting serious and she is becoming scary.

Change is also about changing the so called swing states. Why should WV be a swing state. It is clear that she won the votes of so many uneducated people which means WV has no idea the kind of change they need. I am confident that Obama will deliver all of these status changes.

Is anyone paying attention to the demographic that Hillary's hanging her hat on? This particular group of people wouldn't vote for a black person even if they were running against Osama bin Laden. She has the white, older, less educated group & she's proud of that. And she says she can unite this country when her current platform is courting one particular group & ignoring all of the others, which promotes divisiveness. She doesn't care about the young, white educated voter or the black voter. She claims she has the Hispanic voter but what is she doing to keep them? And now her pride won't let her bow out gracefully. She ran a negative campaign & it backfired on her. Her campaign funds are gone & those blue collar, older, white voters don't seem too willing to write her a check. And now she's counting on the people that she knows would never vote for a black person to get her to the White House & hope no one notices what she's doing. Those of you who want her can have her.

Dems:

Pay no attention to the exit polls or the group that is posting here as Hillary supporters trying to rally support for McCain or Hillary as an independent candidate. They are just Operation Chaosers trying to stir things up.

Vote Democrat in '08!

West Virginia : As impressive her victory margin is, it is still meaningless in the big picture. Why? Because if you look at the results from the Republican primary in West Virginia, John McCain got only 1% of the vote in that state that was won significantly by Mike Huckabee. Therefore, it means people in West Virginia dislike John McCain at least 36 times more than they may dislike Barrack Obama.

These results just show that this state is in total disconnect with the rest of the country.

"But Oregon promises to be more favorable for Obama, given its broader swath of liberal and college educated Democrats." Does this mean that CNN is saying that WV is less liberal and dumber than Oregon? Ouch to WV.

Do you really think that calling folks in WV "hillbilies" and slamming Hillary constantly is going to win the fall election for Obama? I think not. This is the Obama campaign's problem–self-righteous snotty nosed kids with too much time and too much of mommy and daddy's money so they live on the internet trying to make folks feel bad—This will certainly back to bite you, Obama folks. You started this war quite a while back when Clinton supporters were still stating they would vote for Obama if he got the nomination….well…now…due to the disrepect, cultural snobbery, and just plain rudeness and nastiness you probably will see your candidate for President, if he gets nominated, fizzle out. Isn't that what happens to shooting stars? So why don't guys stifle the anti crap and focus on the positive–isn't that what Obama is about—LOL. NOT.

After, following this election very closely the one thing I can say is that America hasn't really changed enough. This election should not be about if your a man or woman, black or white, rich or poor, religion or lack there of. The bottom line is who will be the best candidate for the White House.

I am a Democrat I have been all of my 33 years and never have I heard that a candidate wasn't qualified enough until now.

Tell me what qualifies a person to be president?

If Obama didn't have enough experience then he wouldn't have been able to even attempt a run at the White House. Now would he?

In retrospect I voted for Bill Clinton because I felt that he represented change. But after following the campaign the "Clinton's have run I'm no longer sure of this. Unfortunately, now I think Hillary will do and say anything to be elected not for "AMERICA" but for herself. This is why if Hilary is the nominee it will take nothing short of a miracle for me to vote for her come November.

Obama has now been blown out in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, (and trails Hillary and McCain badly in Florida) – All swing states, and all states that Clinton has now shown that Obama will lose in November.

He can't win the general election without winning most of those states. He is a very weak general election candidate.

Say hello to President McCain.

Proud 26% in WVMay 14th, 2008 11:50 am ET

I woke up this morning feeling good about doing the .right .thing .Yesterday.I stepped up to the voting booth and after 30 years of voting republican was able to put aside all of the racial remarks in my area of WV and vote for whom I thought was the best candidate to help bring our country back.30 years if someone would have told me that I would be voting for an African American democrat for president there would have been a fight.Sorry to say race did play a large part in yesterday's primary and Hillary tapped into it.So to the rest of my fellow 26% I say thanks and come on Oregon ,Montana and South Dakota.Do what is right for all America.

———————————————————————————————–

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARITY AND HONESTY, PROUD …
I KNOW THIS TYPE OF HONESTY IS TOO MUCH FOR MANY PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY….

THANK YOU!

The Clintons will get over it. They have to if they want to show their faces around Washington again or for that matter anywhere else. They will also get over it too because if they do, they will reap millions of dollars in payback for speaking engagements….and they know that. The disappointed Hillary supports will get over it too, as they should understand that McCain will not represent them well, nor represent this country. The U.S can't afford Bush business as usual. Jobs to China and India. CEO's getting richer. American workers (yes the blue collar ones) getting cheap WalMart jobs. Our diminished role with foreign nations. If you want that than vote for McCain. If you feel the effects of the last 8 years, then vote for Obama.

Whether you are a Hillary or Barack supporter- it is about what is best for America. In November, we will need to support the Democratic nominee. There will be fracture if Hillary does not do a safe landing and unite the party. Barack and his VP choice will be be prepared for the job on Day 1.

All you democrats out there that think Hillary should be the VP can rest easy.

President McCane just may reward her for the good job she did over these past few months taking care of his light weight and offer he the position.

Well this is one Hillary supporter who plans on voting for Obama come November. I have been very impressed with the way he has handled adversity these past few weeks. He will have my vote when he receives the nomination.

Obama was behind in polls in WVa, so what did he do? Campaign there to at least let them know their voice counted anyway? No, he just skipped onto the next state, totally dissing them the way he did Michigan & Florida. All this talk about him being some kind of great uniter is just that, talk..

Oregon leads the way in a lot of things in this country. And we will put Obama over the top. And put a end to this! I am a white 51yr. old Oregon Teamster and yes I am bitter at where this country has been going. Obama will turn it around.

The other metric that should be examined in this discussion is the vote result from the special election in Mississippi last night. The Democratic candidate took the election away from the Republican candidate in a district that went for Bush by 62% in 2004. Vice President Darth Vader (Dick Cheney) even campaigned for the Republican candidate and it didn't help (may have even hurt him). This is the third straight loss for Republicans in areas they should have easily won. From my perspective, the only issues left to resolve are which one the the Democrats is going to beat McCain in November and and by how much.

OBAMA 08!!

OBAMA 08

OBAMA 08

OBAMA 08…………………………TO THE WHITE HOUSE WE GO!

Let the GOP have the racists.
I don't want them on my team.

States & elections won with 60% or more of the vote:

HILLARY CLINTON:

* Arkansas (70%)
* West Virginia (67)

It is so sad to see people so bitter about a nomination that they would reject their principles rather than vote for the other candidate. I am not a Hillary clinton fan at all, but if she were the nominee, she would have to get my vote. I think some Hillary supporters are so closed minded and selfish that it's ridiculous.
If I lived in Michigan and Florida, I would not even repect HRC. She agreed to not having those votes count. Now that she is on the verge of losing, she wants to be the martyr. Come on people…SHE IS USING YOU!!! She didn't give a flip about you and now she's your saviour. please be serious. And won't even own up to it! Terry blew so much hot air last night I had to turn on my fan. He was asked point blank about why his feelings and hers have changed a complete 180 degrees on the subject and he kept dancing all around the topic. Call it what it is!

Come on CNN where are the report of the new super delegates that recently came out for Obama today after Billery meaningless WV win? All the other news channels are reporting it. Are you being bias or are you trying to mislead the facts? Come on I thought you guys were better than that.

I will not vote for Obama just because of the hateful comments posted on these blogs by people who support him.

Its simple and plain that Sen Obama has caused more divisions in Dem party , and will do more in November.

Liberals won't take this FACT, but it is TRUE.

He does know very little about the lives of REAL-Black-Americans that he claims and talks about everyday.

We don't need the hillbilly support, McCain can have that, he has no black, brown or gay support. is there enough hillbillies to make him president. bring up Jeremiah Wright, and you will further alienated the black vote, 9/11 happened 7 years ago, why does the media say he been saying this for 20 years? attack the black church, but let the pedophiles posing as priest's continue on, I know you won't post this comment. you never post my comments so eff you CNN

I voted for Clinton in the Cal. primary. Since there isn't really any material difference between the platforms of the two Democratic candidates, I would have supported Obama in the general election but for my utter concern about the fervent zeal of some of his supporters that seems to defy my comprehension. That, coupled with the seeming cult of personality that has developed, raises some very large red flags in my mind. I'm dreading having to choose either Obama or McCain, so this primary season will probably force me to abstain in the general election.

My question to you is…..How many of these states will vote for a Dem in November? And how much of those that BO could win would be Wiped OUT if McCain wins FL, MI, PA and OH????????? And unfortunatley CA comes in to play for McCain…..
Sorry, the GE picks the pres. by winner take all ELECTORAL VOTES!

Bottom Line – we don't want 4 more years of Bush politics, period. I support Obama, but I will gladly vote for Clinton if she is the nominee. Primaries can get ugly, but that's to be expected. Both Obama and Clinton bring virtually the same thing to the table – a change from Bush. Forget the polls, forget the in-fighting. I don't want to suffer another 4 years with jobs being outsourced, more young people dying in Iraq and more families losing their homes.

Obally 08… hmmmm sexy

Come fellow Obama supporters be nice to Hillary-supporters. Hillary and Clintons were formidable and tenancious opponents. Hillary had an impressive win in West Virginia the first since Feb. 5th, although voter turnout was lower than expected. Also there was not record turnout in West Virginia as in other primaries.

A major percentage of Obama supporters and Hillary supporters are very enthusiatic about their candidates. There is much that Hillary supporters share with Obama than they do with McCain. Once Hillary supporters realize that McCain is for continuing the Iraq War and sable-rattling against Iran, wants to continue the Bush economic plan, and plans on nominating Supreme Court justices that could overturn Roe vs. Wade, Hillary-supporters will back Obama!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER obama. He is a liar and completely UNFIT.

OBAMA 2008!!!Can't Hillary see only rural areas are favoring her??!!!People with education will never vote for her!

The argument regarding the popular vote that the Hillary camp is using is interesting. I believe the eventual nominee is chosen based on the number of pledged delegates not the popular vote. George Bush won the 2000 election even though he lost the popular vote to Al Gore since electoral votes, not the popular vote is what determines the winner of the presidency.

Everyone making a big deal out of Hillary's large win tonight have conveniently ignored Obama's following margins of victory since the primaries began:

75% – DC

67% – Georgia

65% – Illinois

64% – Virginia

61% – Mississippi

60% – Maryland

59% – Vermont

58% – Wisconsin

57% – Louisiana

57% – Utah

56% – North Carolina

56% – Alabama

…and 18 other victories over Clinton

To the Hillary or Mccain person.

Roe v Wade is not just about you. Its about the progress and fight this country and women have put up against Abortion. Your just so selfish and it shows in your statement. How did Obama steal your vote. Your vote in FLA didnt count anyway adn guarenteed if they could have campainged in FLA Obama would have won. All this talk about Clinton gonna win WVA, OHIO, PA, and FLA in the general. Ok so Obama has the chance and possiblity to win in Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, Missuri, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Louisana and possibly more lest say the Mountain west, North and South Dakota, Idado, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming and more, I much rather Obama win more red states and swing states as well as the strong Dems. state to broden then Democratic electoral map rather then Hilliary 15 state strategy.

CNN – PLEASE REPORT THIS!!

His campaign announced his pickup Wednesday of two superdelegates: Rep. Peter Visclosky of Indiana and Democrats Abroad chair Christine Schon Marques.

Also endorsing Obama were three former Securities and Exchange Commission chairmen — William Donaldson, David Ruder, and Arthur Levitt Jr., who was appointed by former President Clinton. The campaign released a joint statement by the former SEC chiefs, well as former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, that praised Obama's "positive leadership and judgment" on economic issues.

I am a proud supporter of Sen Clinton. But I will not join a bunch of rude and nasty Obama supporters. Why is it ok for 90% of the blacks to vote for Obama, and if a white supports Clinton then they are racist?

If you Obama supporters would add up all the votes you alienate by calling others stupid, un-educated, hillbillies, racist , rednecks. There is no way Obama can win the General Election with only the supporters he has now. You need to be trying to bring others into your camp, rather than telling them you don't need thier vote anyway.

Now who is the stupid bunch?

go OBAMA

The real beauty in this primary season is that the party of brotherly love has been exposed as the hateful, power-hungry party of bigots, sexists, agist and racists that it really has been all along.

First of all: to Letha in Sioux Falls, SD : work on your grammar and spelling. "……Obama will lost key votes…" should read, "Obama will lose key votes."

Secondly: Obama has shown tremendous grace under pressure and is "presidential" in his public appearances (unlike our current resident of the White House). Clinton does not appearr presidential, nor does McCain. It is time for a change and we do not need a "career politician" in the White House.

Yes we can!

OBAMA-08!

To all the Obama supporters who knock Clinton supporters for not voting for Obama in the general election, how many of you would have voted for Hillary if SHE was the nominee in November? Just curious. I'm an Oregon Clinton supporter but I will be supporting Obama in November if he's the nominee. I don't think a lot of you Obama supporters could say the same thing about Clinton because all you people do is trash her.

You folks should just give it a rest. Most of your "ticker" material is rank speculation. Try reporting news: what has happened, where, when, and (maybe) why and so what. Reports about polls predicting outcomes in Oregon aren't meaningful to those of us who have already voted in other states. Predictions that Obama may or may not ask Hillary (or should or should not ask her) to be Veep nominee are similarly useless…. the man will do what he chooses to do for his own reasons. So wait. Then report when there's actual news.

I see CNN (and the other media) as banging on a drum trying to stir up some kind of public fascination. Unfortunately, an election is not a soap opera, nor a horse race, nor a circus. It's a process that will work out in its own time. So let it work, and give the rest of us a break from irresponsible, speculative journalism.

Leda and others who say you would never vote for Obama: please clarify WHY.

Don't you agree with Obama's policies?
Are his proposals that much different from those of Hillary?
Or do you simply want more of McBush?
If this is the case please just tell it…

And if this is not the case, then please clarify why "you will never vote for Obama", and tell us If it is because of his proposed policies, or simply because you don't like the guy.

Maybe you don't like his ability to inspire people, do you?
Or you don't like the idea of a change in Washington…
Or is it because you think that a guy who's run such a brilliant bottom-up campaign will not be able to "lead"???

Or, maybe it's just because of his name and his human story, and the color of his skin, huh?

Please be honest to yourself and to us all, and tell us WHY you'd never vote for Obama.

Thanks.

HILLARY SUPPORTER May 14th, 2008 11:34 am ET
"Mya….too late…his supporters have said some of the meanest things I have ever heard someone say about another individual"

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? First off, why would you cast your vote based on what some blogger hiding behind a computer says? I don't think Obama has had the time to be blogging so I'm sure it's not him.

Second, I guess you didn't read the MSNBC article yestarday that talked about the racial slurs that Obama campaign volunteers have been called to their face throughout the US while trying to campiagn? Or the campaign office that was spray painted with racial slurs all over it?

So if you're going to lay the blame on Obama because of some ananomous bloggers that say some things that you don't like, then I should lay the blame on Clinton and McCain for all of the racial slurs. Neither one is fair and I wish you would just go away.

Hooray for Sen. Clinton! Her big win in W. Virginia sends a strong message to the mainstream media — Obama-mania isn't enough to steal this election from the better-qualified candidate.

Sen. Clinton has fought against incredible odds, both from the political pundits and the wealthy Obama supporters (such as Oprah). She has persevered with dignity and charm and will go on to November and defeat John McCain.

Sorry, but good speech-making and motivational skills are not enough to qualify Sen. Obama to lead our country. Experience counts, and Sen. Clinton has it!

MOST OF YOU GUYS ARE REALLY ACTING LIKE COMPLETE IDIOTS ON THESE BLOGS…

Are we not democrats? Sure, some of use prefer Obama while others prefer Clinton but I fail to see what is wrong with that. Why the hate and anger? At the end of the day we will have "ONE" democratic nominee and I, as a democrat, will support and donate to that candidate. I really like Obama but to say that I would not vote for Clinton if she gets the nomination or vote for McCain is completely ignorant. Both can win if we decide to stop this in-fighting and start fighting for a better future by putting our personal feelings aside and do what's right for this country.

Democrats, lets unite as a party. WE MUST!!! I am another support of whoever the demo nominee is. Can you say the same?

We will never forget Jeremiah Wright.

I give Sen. Clinton credit for her energy, but whatever rift exists between Clinton and Obama supporters is attributable almost entirely to Clinton's negative campaigning. Despite her seeming strength in conservative swing states (with GREAT thanks to Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos–arguably HE should be helping her with her campaign debt!), her best bet now is to help mend the party and hope that Pres. Obama will give her a place within his cabinet –perhaps health care czar.

As far as the win in W Virgina goes who cares. they voted for BUSH in 2000 and 2004 what does that tell you about W Virgina. They would vote for McSame in 2008, No wonder they voted for Clinton, IDIOTS

Obama holds big lead in Oregon, CNN……..I'm betting you are not going to let my comment stay……your attitude against President Obama is prejudice….

CONGRAD Mr. President Obama….

To mike May 14th, 2008 10:33 am ET (you close the comment board and refused to list my comment)
Latest News update: Obama seeks all black ticket. Obama is strongly leaning towards choosing black person for democratic VP if he is nominee. How do you feel about this?
To answer Mike question and others who may try to comment with this lie, Obama hasn't said who he is going to select to be VP, and we all know for a fact this isn't going to happen. So what should we make it a point to say many of the past president's have choose white VP. We know who you are voting for, the democrat who is losing and make it a point to use duty lying politics.

Smart people them Oregonians! Let's bring the primary to a close so we can focus on the general

Just remember this….if HRC's supporters do stay home or vote for McBush..and Obama gets beat………and they think Hillary will come to our rescue in 2012………forget about it……"what goes around,comes around"………that sword cuts both ways….DB

Adversity does not build character it reveals it.

Obama shut the door and pulled the curtains last night when he lost by 41 points in WV. He tried to pretend it did not exist and postulated by his behavior if I ignore it then it might go away.

The news media are now determined to fight Hillary too, so she has more than one opponent. The news media will want to save face by proving "the math." Well we all know math is not finite, can change, and with any constant, will change.

Hillar 2008! It ain't over til it's over and winner's don't quit! Nor do they pull down the curtain…

It's funny when you say anything negative about Obama, you must be racist, but if Hillary states the obvious she's playing the race card. You can't win in the fall just because you get 99% of the black vote, that does not translate to victory. He will lose this fall, and the democrats will realize that they lost an election that has been their's to lose! Obama supporters and the Democratic leadership are stupid, if he's the nominee, I'm voting for McCain! period, he will not change my mind!

Truthurts said "All you Hillary supporters voting for McCain are only proving one thing. You are sore losers and are attracted to voting for losers…
OK that was 2 things"
I have to firmly disagree with that statement. The majority of the people that I know who are Hillary supporters who states that they would not vote for Obama is becasuse they do not stand by him (Obama) simple as that. Now to be truthful, the people that I have spoken to said that they will exercise their 'write in' right. I think that would be the best thing to do verses voting for someone else just out of spite. These are adults that are voting. This election is a very serious one and I don't see how voting for McCain if you do not stand by him makes sense at all.

Obama always plays the race card.

Marge Hibbing Mn, Obama won MN by a huge margin… So what were you saying about the people of Oregon again?

HILLARY WILL NOT GET OUT. SHE WILL STAY AND FIGHT BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE. I REALLY AT THIS POINT COULD CARE LESS WHAT YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS AND THE BIAS MEDIA SAYS. I AM SICK AND TIRE OF YOUR HATE AND BIAS.
YES – WE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL OVERCOME ALL OF THAT AND IN THE LONG RUN WE WILL CONQUER.
I BELIEVE HILLARY IS AHEAD IN KENTUCKY.

GOODBYE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this yes we can makes you all sound stupid and that you drank the coolaid…

ATTN "HILLARY SUPPORTER"

Come on, there's been plenty said on both sides here! Point is, no one thinks you are "uneduacted", rather, they and you are supporting/defending a chosen candidate in a tough race among two exceptional candidates. Their policy issues are nearly identical. You are not electing supporters who you feel have been rude. Everyone has been fired up and now we need to organize around the nominee (whomever it is) and keep the republicans out of the white house! We need to focus on getting ourselves out of 3 wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, and the war on the American economy) as well as prevent one in Iran. Please look at the bigger picture.

Dems 08

There is another state voting next week. Hillary Clinton is up in some polls in Kentucky by 30% or more.

Why is it that Obama speaks (and that's about all he does) about inclusion and reconciliation but his supporters are full of nothing but hate and rage? Hamas supports Obama, Farrakhan likes him, Wright is his pastor for 20 years and his own wife seems to detest the country that allowed her and her family to prosper. No other country on the planet would have given her such opportunities. A vote for Obama is an over-reaction to the 8 year pounding we've received from Bush. Who by the way was inexperienced when he ran for president in 2000.

Hey Democrats…remember that there will also be House and Senate elections this fall. Right now it is expected that the Democrats will strengthen their hold on both houses. Think about the changes that could made in this country with a Democratic House, Deocratic Senate and a Democratic President!

Although I voted for Hillary I will definitely support Obama in November if he is the nominee. We CANNOT AFFORD another Repubican administration!

Thank God Oregonians have more sense but I am not surprised given their high population of educated people. BTW doesn't the fact that Clinton bragged about a 10year selling his bike and giving her his money bother Hillary Supporters. It goes a long way towards describing what kind of person she is. And you want her running your country. wew!!!

the question a lot of people are asking is how much of the millions and millions of dollars obama is getting originates in Arab countries and laundered by tony rezko to the obama campaign

CNN, for the first time could you please post my response

Any democrat saying they will never vote for Obama is fooling themself. When looking down the barrel of the gun you're going to vote for Obama come November. Say all you want now but later you'll already know the consequences of your decision.

All the so-called Dems who threaten to vote McCain if/when HRC loses…please do us all a favor and vote that way. You see there is no stopping fate and if you haven't learned anything over the past 15 months it's that Barack Obama will be our next president with out without the support of anyone who choses not to give it.

So when does the good of the party play a role in the Clinton campaign? Does pointing out the obvious that low income working white americans are not supportive of Obama, but you don't see Obama saying anything about him winning the majority of the black vote. Obama didn't say it, his wife didn't say it, but Hillary did and Bill did with his "race-card" comment. Race is a powder keg for our society. You see who lit the fuse. Don't fall for it Americans. We want to be united as one nation. Our politicians have to start looking out for what's best for all of us. No one needs to be reminded of past hurts. We can't heal as a nation if we don't stop openning the old wounds. The Clinton are shameful for that. We all know the obvious, but playing on it and using it to advance your position is totally immoral.

Obama '08 – Yes We Can!!

CNN is CLINTON NEWS NETWORK FOLKS….EVERYTHING THEY REPORT AND SAY FAVORS SENATOR CLINTON…IT'S OBVIOUS WHO THEY WANT TO WIN!!!!…

I THINK ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULD STOP TUNNING THEIR TVs TO CNN UNTIL THEY HAVING A BALANCE SET OF RULES….THE PAST 2 OR 3 MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD MOSTLY CLINTON SUPPORTERS ON WITH NO ONE FROM OBAMA'S CAMP TO REPLY TO THE COMMENTS….

CNN IS UNFAIR

(C)LINTON
(N)EWS
(N)ETWORK

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What I want to know is, who was that RASTA guy in the yellow t-shirt standing behind Hillary Tuesday night. He looked like a prop. Is the Gimmick candidate pulling out all tricks to prove she's not racist?

And that guy with the bowling pin swinging it left and right, I guess Secret Service approved that weapon for the sake of props huh?

These two guy were placed for the cameras and between you and me, the RASTA in the bright yellow shirt looked like he got paid big money to perform for the cameras.

I give Sen. Clinton credit for her energy, but whatever rift exists between Clinton and Obama supporters is attributable almost entirely to Clinton's negative campaigning. Despite her seeming strength in conservative swing states (with GREAT thanks to Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos–arguably HE should be helping her with her campaign debt!), her best bet now is to help mend the party and hope that Pres.

Thank you Oregon!!!!!!!!!!!

Uniting the Democrates around the Democrate Nominee should be the focus at this time.

Anything is really just selfish and destructive ambition.

Aren't 4 more BUSH years of failed policies in Washington too scary for all Americans?

Thank You Again Oregon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08 & '12

I admire Obama's vision, youth, and charisma and HRC's tenacity. But I go for Obama for the following reasons:

(1) remembering the unspeakably disgraceful act committed by Bill Clinton while he was in the White House, we the American people should not have to feel disgraced all over again by seeing him back in the White House, sharing and influencing Hilary's job behind the scenes (what would the world think of us then!);

(2) when Chelsea Clinton was an undergraduate at Stanford, she called her bodyguard (provided by the American taxpayers' money) a "well trained pig" because "that's what my parents call him", she said.
It is the Clintons who are elitists who pretend to care about the poor, uneduated, hard-working Americans. This true episode speaks loud and clear what the Clintons are really like. Enough deception already!

I'm not going to vote for an arrogant, lying, hypocrit like Obama.

Hillary or McCain

Should this be a surprise?

Hillary seems to win big, in areas where opportunities for education are WOEFULLY INADEQUATE.

I can't wait for Ms. Clinton (with her "evil clown" grin), to finally exit this race. Maybe between now and then, she'll start telling people that she actually fought in Vietnam.

ANYBODY BUT HILLARY in 2008!!!!!!!!

How will Hillary convince the DNC to cast aside the popular winner, the candidate with 90% of the black vote in order to secure her win.
She can't and she knows it.

She'll have to suckup big time to get the #2 slot, which is a death kiss to political careers.

I must congratulate Hillary and her Hillbillies on her West Virginia victory, maybe can be the president of West Virginia

Oh and by the way, she won last night, but Obama picked-up four more superdelegates. . . Life is good!

YES WE CAN!

Watching Hillary's speeches lately are painful……..she looks like a delusional mad woman……..not aware of the reality all around her……when is this going to end ?? It's time for the Hill-Billys to exit.

democrat let this finish next tuesday ask clinton to leave she can not win anyway.

WV…….hmmmm……..banjos………everybody has the same DNA
so of course they'll all tend to vote the same way.

Can someone please explain to me why Clinton supporters feel that this election was unfairly stolen from her? She was the one that very early on ignored many states. She was the one that said that democrats shouldn't focus on certain states because they were read. She was the one that said Michigan and Florida should not count (so too did that slime ball McCauliffe). She was the one that has campaigned negatively. She was the one that said McCain was better than the fellow democrat. She was the one that lied about her Bosnia trip. She was the one that said certain democratic voters don't count. She is the one that tried to unfairly paint Obama as a fringe Black Candidate. She is the one that tried to supress hope and optimism. She is the one that over and over again has tried to change the rules mid game. She is the one that complains that everyone is against her.

Whether Obama wins or loses in November he and his supporters will know they fought a good fight. What will you Hillary supporters think then? You guys are ridiculous.

I don't mean to put too fine a line on "college-educated voters", but the dumbest thing Barack has done so far in my opinion is agree to be pressured into muffling the brightest political talent I've seen in my 21 years. Yes, I'm talking here of Sam Power. Given everything that's been done and said, was the word "monster" really worth sacrificing the first person in the world who seemed to have a cooking clue on what to do about Darfur, the Mid-East & other supposedly "never-ending" conflicts?

As an African, I'll be quick to say the US owes us exactly zilch – even though I appreciated Slick Willy's humanitarian efforts during his tenure. But I've objectively studied Samantha's views, & she's the first person who's convinced me that there's nothing cheesy or naive about hoping for "world peace" – in our lifetimes. I say let's petition to bring back Sam for the General Election campaign. If Barack doesn't step up, it'll easily be the dumbest thing anyone – college educated or not – has done in this campaign. And the real "monsters" will be us "good citizens" who did nothing.

If WV, is a racist state by the same logic Oregon must be too.

The most racist thing I have seen this primary is that Obama gets 90% of the black vote. It is plain as day that black people are voting race. They are the racists. Never in US. history has anyone taken that much of a demographic. NEVER !!

I can't wait to see the reaction when he looses in November.

Two states vote Tuesday, Obama leads in one, Hillary in the other. The CNN home page reads: "Obama has huge lead in next state." Can we get some evenhanded reporting please? They way CNN has skewed pro-Obama is ridiculous.

I will concede the Obama lead in Oregon, but why can't the articles headline be balanced or accurate? The lead in to this story is "Obama hold huge lead in next contest", well, the fact is he hgolds a huge lead in one of the next two contests. It could have just as easily read the reverse!
Does the press intentionally try and distort informaiton or do they try and anger supporters of of one candidate or the other?
It's getting to be ridiculous! The democrats would be solidified behind either candidate if the medai woudl stop forcing people to draw a line in the sand for their benefit. Hopefully we are smarter than them.

But wait…. I thought Oregon was mostly white and Obama couldn't win whites? Please explain this to me Hillary?

Hillary: It's all about me, me, me……….Wah, wah, wah…….!

Letha…

That's too bad you're so short-sighted and narrow-minded. Vote McCain it'll do many of us a favor of not having such toxic TRASH in our party anyway. Independents kill me thinking that someone has to kiss their behinds for their vote. It's Independents who made it possible for Bush's second term so based on your judgment a vote for a 3rd Bush term is right up your alley.

I'm really tired of hearing how Hillary's supporters are the least educated group in the country. Let's be real, African-Americans are at the absolute bottom of demographic groups in terms of education and they are virtually all in Obama's camp. And that's a fact— even if it's not politically correct.

Obama is the most dangerous person to ever run for President of this country. Shame on Oregon for helping that liar destroy this country.

All hillary supports should not vote if obama gets the nomination and stop watching Oprah!

Oh, so another case of the intelligent and educated voting for someone who can make a difference or, as in West Virginia, the ignorant and uneducated voting for someone who will not make a difference. Hmmmmm. I think I see a trend!!

To Wolf Blitzer:

Can you please try to be a little more objective during this election process? Your keen support for Hillary has been crystal clear. And, now pushing for her to be on the ticket is just NOT fair to many Americans who may not share the same view as you do.

Good job West Virginia, we have him next over here in Klan-tucky. We are going to show him a good time over here as well.

By the time we are through with him he's going to wish that he lived in Oregon.

Republicans + Hilliary = VICTORY

Ths is for Clinton Supporters.

Am an observer from Nigeria and I like the democrats because they care for people and also very accomodating than republicans who are too rigid.

Why is it that Clinton feels than Obama cannot win Mccain in Florida, Ohio and Pensylv. just because she won those states.

I dont know much about US politicsbut I think two democrats are contesting and one has to win. The supporters of the other will vote for the eventual nominee at the GE.
Have people forgotten that Hukabee and Romney won some red states too. Does it mean that because They won Mccain in those states, he will not carry those red states in Nov.
I find it difficult to understand this, pls explain. Unless democrats are divided. Mind you Republicans were divided but they are coming together. Look at Rush limb he is no more attacking Mccain but the democrats.

PLease Clinton Supporters, bury your differences, whatever Obama did to you, pls forgive and forget. Rem he is more of a White guy cos he was raised by her white mother (his dad died at when he was young).
In the interest of a better world, We in Africa will not like a republican again in the white house. Am sure Europeans will say the same.

I still want response from Clinton supporters
Thank you

Why is it that each state Sen. Clinton wins is the only states that leads to the white house?

I have an unbiased opinion over this election cycle, and up here in Canada we are watching with interes as the result is affecting us, and the rest of the world. You as Americans should be very proud about that, and remeber to vote for the candidate that asks for, and brings the best in people, and not the one that plays your fears and differences.
Once was said: "Remeber Alamo"… I say "Remeber Iraq"…

those posting here are not a clever lot!

I have already sent my vote in for Obama and it feels great! All of us in Oregon want REAL change and Barack will give us that. HRC did put up a good fight (however it was ugly) but it is over now and it is time to be a democrat first!
Obama 08

I woke up this morning feeling good about doing the .right .thing .Yesterday.I stepped up to the voting booth and after 30 years of voting republican was able to put aside all of the racial remarks in my area of WV and vote for whom I thought was the best candidate to help bring our country back.30 years if someone would have told me that I would be voting for an African American democrat for president there would have been a fight.Sorry to say race did play a large part in yesterday's primary and Hillary tapped into it.So to the rest of my fellow 26% I say thanks and come on Oregon ,Montana and South Dakota.Do what is right for all America.

I think Obama will win Oregon,Montana and South Dakota and rest for Hilary Clinton!!!
Anyways Obama will be the Nominee eventhough Hilary tries her best!!!

Voting rights should be restricted based on certain criteria

- Education levels
- Income levels
- Certain minimum amount of Taxes paid
- Certain levels of political education
etc.

Voting given to UNEDUCATED people will produce lopsided results like WV. There is no other explanation how a LIAR and RULE CHANGER like Hillary can get a majority voting for her at this stage of the game in WV.

Impose certain criteria before someone can VOTE.

Save the DEMOCRACY. Amend the Constitution. Save America from Destruction of LIARS and POWER MONGERS like Clinton

Based on the HRC spin last night it looks like her camp is determined to take the fight to the convention floor. I don't think that they expect anything other than an even split of MI & FL delegates, what they are really trying to do is raise the bar on reaching a majority, making it almost impossible for the Obama side to clinch pre convention. I think their reasoning is that they have a better chance of winning at the Dem convention given their deeper roots in the party.

I feel sorry for the HIllary supporters – they thought she should be made Queen of the United States of America. Don't you realize it is the President of the United States of America? Hillary lost because she miscalculated that the people would only support her and no one else. We in Iowa got to meet the candidates and saw how they really react. Hillary is just as full of baloney as her husband. She does not deserve the presidency after Whitewater and all that happened in Arkansas and in the White House. This is a country that has seen the good and the bad of the Clintons, we do not want those people in office again, especially if it were Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton – too much like a Monarchy, don't you think? I was once a loyal Clinton backer but now have come to realize there is something new and different to be had, just like our fore fathers when they decided to break from England. We the people are going to take back the government and make America and the world a much better place. Obama 08 and 12!

Allison Marie,

Obama did not block votes. Unfortunately, Florida's state decision-makers decided to go against DNC rules and we have to suffer the consequences. It is not Barack, nor Hillary's fault that our votes are not being counted.

They both agreed to abide by the rules the DNC set out.

We've been working hard. Hope to deliver a nice win here in Obamaland. The west is less entrenched in institutionalism. We do not throw the baby out with the bath water, but love that cool, clean water! …."Love one another…"

We need to beat John McCain this November and superdelegates need to put an end to the race to give the nominee enough time to compaign for a convincing victory in the general election. Senator Clinton need to realize that the math is impossible for her to win.
The party must not seat Florida and Michigan because rules are rules.

Why is it if whites vote for a white person we are racist, but when 92% of blacks vote for Obama that's OK? Sounds like the same double standard that says 4 blacks beating up a white man is not a hate crime but 4 whites beating up a black man is. Ridiculous!!!! Only 2 people can be president right now and Obama is not one of them.

The Florida Democratic Party stole your vote for Hillary, you moron.

i am not from U.S but what i know is America is 2 big for a women to rule

Hey, all you people complaining about CNN overlooking Obama's new delegates- This is CNN< Clinton News Network! Haven't you noticed the way Blitzer slants things toward Clinton? He frequently cuts off Obama supporters, Lets Clinton supporters go on and on. Good news for Obama usually gets mentioned almost as an afterthought, while bad news for Clinton either gets a positive spin, or is ignored.

GIVE OBAMA CREDIT. THE MAN HAS VISION. HE'S SEVERAL STEPS AHEAD OF THE PACK. HE RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR CHANGE AND A FRESH APPROACH, WHILE THE REST OF THE CROWD DABBLES IN OLD STYLE POLITICS. HE HAS CREATED EXCITEMENT, AND ENTHUSIASM, DRAWN MILLIONS OF NEW VOTERS TO THE PROCESS. THE REPUBLICANS ARE WATCHING AND, FRANKLY ,.. THEY ARE SCARED. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN MISSISSIPPI LAST NIGHT, AND LOUISIANA BEFORE. REPUBLICANS GOT THEIR BUTTS KICKED.DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THE REPUBLICANS START MIMICKING OBAMA'S STYLE AND MESSAGE. AS THE CONGRESS CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICANS, MR. TOM COLE, ALARMINGLY EMPHASIZED TO HIS TROOPS,… CHANGE OR DIE. OBAMA IS THE MAN FOR PRESIDENT.

Nice win for Clinton and she should be proud. However, it has done nothing for her gaining in the areas that count like delegates. Even after her big win, Obama is the won who gained more delegates today. That certainly says something. I, for one, am a strong Obama suporter but if Clinton were to magically end up being the nominee then I woould certainly support her. We can all have our preferences but in the end there really isn't a choice unless a you consider having America goes down the same road we are now. That;s jus pathetic and we need to all come together and get behind whomever the nominee is and it certainly looks like it will be Obama.

Hey, CB, its "won't", not "want". Learn English. You speak just like Michelle Obama, a product of Affirmative Action who gets into Princeton, can't speak English well, then says, after all this, only NOW she is proud to be an American.

Newflash Hillary or Mccain person:

There is no way the Great divider Obama will unify us, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, CNN talking heads.

Obama stole my Florida vote for Hillary, and he'll just have to be satisfied with that. He gets nothing else from me.
*****************************
Your local government decided to break the rules and HILLARY agreed to the rules and HILLARY said you and michigan wouldn't matter….put the blame where it belongs….go march on your city hall steps…..Obama followed the rules…..it's sad that you wouldn't say these things….i see where your heart is….just sad

Hey!! she's always winning to loose HILLARY please getout of the race

As a 58 year old Republican living in Oregon (white woman), I changed my party and voted for Obama. He reminds me of the era of JFK. We desperately need change in this country. No more politics as usual. Oregon will hand him a sizable win. Many of my friends have done the same as I. And the spin doctors say older white women don't go for Obama. They need to say "uninformed" older whites…..

Hillary did what she needed to do to barely hang on. Personally I think she is just trying to raise money to pay back her loans. She will have to win all the contest left by the same margins, then that would be something. I will vote for either democratic nominee but most likely it will be Obama. If Hillary doesn't have at least a win in Oregon and a big win in Kentucky she is completely out of the race. I think Obama will win Oregon then we will see the Super's gates open and push Hillary out.

A few words of wisdom from David Duke would be refreshing right about now. How about a Kinky Friedman and David Duke ticket … that shud cover the broad spectrum of Demoncratic Thought.

It’s pretty unpleasant to read all these comments full of blind hysteria.

This along with the SD's he gets EVERYDAY will only pad his lead and send HRC and her supporters further into the pits of denial and delusion.

YES WE CAN
YES WE WILL

Obama '08

What poll are you looking at? They're close to even in Oregon.

When the primary race is over, the polls will show the true feelings of Americans. If Barack Obama does snatch the nomination by only half of the democratic vote, he will then lose big time when the Clinton supporters poll for the moderate John McCain.

The real story has not been told yet.

But he does kinda look like curious George in this picture….

I have a lot of thoughts about the people from WV…but its not worth it… this is America and they have their rights too, no matter how closed minded!

Hillary's supporters will be welcomed by all of Obama's supporters. Hopefully all democrats are acutely aware of the importance of winning the White House and ending the misery the Bush administration has inflicted upon America. Obama will win big here in Oregon because we are a progressive, intelligent electorate that recognizes the need for change and that Barack is the one to deliver that.

Again we see HilBilly and supporters trying to rewrite history, math, the rules, and their past positions. In the national in November, no doubt McCain will carry some states overwhelminglly and lose just as much in others. Does anyone seriously think that the Republicans can carry California no matter who the Deomcratic contender is and no matter who won it in the primary? Look at what is happening all over th country — the Repulbicans are losing long safe seats to Democratic upstars and new comers. This is a whole new election and it is wide open.

If you read some of the psots on varioius sites, the papers, listen to tne cable news, etc. you are seeing a lot of prejudice, mostly from HilBilly supporters. Women support a woman because they want to see one as President in their lifetime — nothing else. One person posted that he couldn't vote for Obama becuase of his middle name — now that's real thinking. And HilBilly, although toning down a bit, is still out there trying to create an impression of entitlement and superiority leading to many of these non-critical thinkers to believe that she is somehow having her right to be President stolen from her.

Fortunately, the race still goes to the one who follows the rules, is honest, and most believable. Even HilBilly voters admit that she is not trustworthy and not likeable, but they vote their emotions, not their logic.

W VA should have been a victory lap for Obama and it was a blow-out for Hillary. Will the super-delegates take heed? Probably not, I suspect, and here comes another loss in November. Wake up people! Hillary has a much more broad-base of support – Obama supporters: do you want to win or would you rather "be right.?"

CNN Please use the word CRUSH if and when Obama wins Oregon by a large margin.

I will not support Obama in November period. The media and Obama's supporters have been way too nasty to Hillary. I can't believe the Obamaniacs in these blogs!!!! They are still bashing Hillary…how in the world do you guys expect us Hillary's supporters to unite when you are are continuing to demorilize our candidate?! Well, I think not. Most of us, (especially women) will vote against Obama. I hope Hillary runs as an independant.

SAY NO TO OBAMA

Go home Hillary. Cant you see it is over ,done, finished? AMERICANS who are educated will not stand for you anymore.OBAMA is the real deal .Unless you are a redneck living in the past with no concern but racial idenity you can see right through HRC.OPEN your minds not your racial bias WEST VA PENN OHIO.Im proud to be a white male without racial bias. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BARACK.

All,

I agree with so many of you in regards to the overall picture that no matter our little personal feelings…the Democrats MUST unite in November.

Also…under NO circumstances must we unite on an Obama/Clinton ticket…

I don't have a problem with him giving her run of the "No Child Left Behind Act", as it has gone to hell and back…Maybe with her aggressive style we can see that program up and running full force.

Go Hillary….make something useful of yourself…after all, aren't you the originator of…."It takes a village"???????

Obama did not "pick up" any endorsements today. He's been sitting on them so that he could put them out their today so he could mitigate her win a little…just like he has done this entire primary. The proportional system of the primary is the only reason Obama is winning. If it were winner take all, like the General Election, Clinton would be in the lead right now. He'll get no points for being close on Election Day.

Would all of you stop whining already. The process doesn't even end for another 3 weeks. Let is run out. Geeze, what are you so afraid of. I mean Jesus Christ, I mean Obama will be your nominee for Heaven's sake. Who cares how many delegates Obama picked up. Women are going to be pissed off that Hill didn't win. YOu think Obama will win without them. Think again. There are only so many black people in America.

Good Job Obama stand your grounds and don't let anyone fool you about not voting for you unless Hillary says "White folk want vote for you'. Keep your head up and campaign positive and don't think about Ms. Negative.

Obama 08

Obama/MaCaskill 08 or Obama/Sebelius 08

SO HILLARY CRUSHES OBAMA YESTERDAY AND TODAY CNN CAN'T WASIT TO POINT OUT OBAMAS LEAD NEXT WEEK…

KNOW THIS BIG BOX, DRIVE BY, LEFT WING MEDIA….

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA… FINITO!… AND GUES WHA T ELSE NEITHER WILL ALOT OF MY DEMOCRAT SISTERS AND BORHTERS…

Why does Clinton supporters insist on saying that Clinton is winning in the popular vote? Obama was not on the ballot in michigan so that does not count! I find it funny that clinton never talks abou the fact in the beginning Clinton didn't care if florida and michigan were counted, she even agreed to it, but know all of the sudden it is Obama fault that they are not counted! Clinton just get out of the race so Democrats can unite!!!!!

obama 08!!!!

Why are Hillary supporters so bitter? Obama is a great and inspiring candidate. I just don't understand.

AS for the superdelegate endorsements. I think we can expect the party elders to coalesce behind Obama the more Hillary divides the party…

Ever notice how Terry McAuliffe doesn't even mention Oregon? With these guys it's all about their omissions. They say she wins white blue-collar folk, then why did she lose the primaries in Minnesota and Wisconsin? Oregon is a white state too and he'll win that primary….so it's not just caucus states and those with large African-American populations. Oh, and lest they forget, Puerto Rico isn't a state, unless I missed something.

to Hillary or McCain

Pathetic! The last line of you post defines you… enough said!

Obama holds a big lead with little experience. Hillary or McCain will get my vote depending on the Democratic choice. Wake up Superdeligates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN TTHE MORNING COMES AND REALITY SITS IN SHE IS STILL 25MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT AND SHE ALSO HAS NO WAY TO CATCH HIM. ALSO LAST NIGHT DONNA BRAZILLE SAID THE MEDIA IS WELCOME TO ATTEND THE MEETING ON THE 31ST TO HEAR THE ARGUMENTS ON FL AND MI SO AMERICA CAN SEE WHEN THE SUPERS TELL HILLARY AND THE MERRY MEN TO TURN IN THERE PHONE LISTS TO OBAMA THIS CIRCUS IS OVER.

Respectfully, from an "outsider":

On every count, from Integrity to electibility, it should be clear that OBAMA is by far the best leader the USA can have.

Democrats and US citizens can be true to the solid principles and spirit of their party and nation by maintaining their own integrity and voting for OBAMA now and in November

Go Hillary!!!!!!!! Go Hillary!!!

And while you are at it……go out the door and then get into your jet and just keep going!!!!!

It's over!!!!!! OBAMA 08

Yea!!!!! for the super delegates, Hillary needs to get out of the race , she has clearly shown her true colors by dividing the country with her
racist remarks coded into every speach she makes (White blue collard workers) (White older woman) (white low income) please Hillary stop being racist you and your still want to be president husband need to step aside for the new wave presidential canidate
BARACK OBAMA, he will be the only canidate tha can defeat Mccain
as you can see if she is behind in states and delegates and super-d
you tell me who has the math wrong, plus he is popular around the world except to those who chooses to be racist, GOOG BYE HILLARY!
Hello to all the real people in America who is color blind and want whats new and right for our country i love all of you, red and yellow ,black and white "WE ARE ALL PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT" JESUS LOVE THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD!!!!!

Please, please, please tell me why you all think OBAMA is the BEST CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT. I've been searching and asking for help with this and noboby will respond. I see criticism of the other Candidates regarding their plans and their proposals as to what action they'll take if they become President but nothing of OBAMA's plans.

This reminds me of how those "TERRIOST" came to the US, went to school, became educated, learned all the rules, became the best PILOTS to fly a plane, and then, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! 911 DIASTER.

Obama has now been blown out in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, (and trials Hillary and McCain badly in Florida) – All swing states, and all states that Clinton has now shown that Obama will lose in November.

He can't win the general election without winning most of those states. He is a very weak general election candidate.

Say hello to President McCain.

Hours after being routed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia, Barack Obama picked up two more superdelegates, offering fresh recognition from Democratic leaders of his inevitable nomination. it is over for her more will come today she may pick up one or two mabey this will open it up and obam will get to 2025 he needs just do the math again no way for her to win !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's over a long time ago.

Only those that are delusional don't think so.

Don't be so stunned Clintonite, it's been a long time coming.

"Operation Chaos" is still going full steam. Don't buy into the "division" in the democratic party.

All these "Clinton" and "Obama" supporters attacking each other are primarly republicans posing as democrats. Don't let them play us.

Vote Democrat '08

if clinton loses the nomination, all you clinton fans, don't be so quick (not that you would) to jump on obama's band wagon. who knows what other dirt will come out? i hear his new rev. moss is just as bad as his old rev. wright. i'm sorry – it's not the pastor it's the whole church! and what about this barr guy as an option? he wants the troops home too!
go ahead all you obama crazed people – vote your heart out. i think you've all been brain-washed. like the old saying "be careful what you wish for!"

Obama, Obama, Obama. 08,12 Yes we did.

Oregon will vote for Hillary

The poll was conducted before Hillary's win

If she is not valued, then she should go independent . So far the election is being stolen from her if FLA and Michigan don't count.

Obama can be her VP until he learns how to do the job. He might be eventually ready.

America cannot be entrusted to him as a guinea pig for an experiement in the lab.

Hillary 08 – Yes she will!!!

CB you are correct..I'm one of them. There are a lot of people like me…and I've talked with a lot of them on airplanes, in airports at starbucks, etc. They don't have that poll because either the media isn't interested in that stat because it would further deflate a race they want to continue or they haven't though of it. The media is full of dummies but they can't be that dumb.

I found it offensive that as an african amercian 37 year old single parent that gets up everyday and work very hard to maintain that i'm not considered a hardworking american. i find it offensive when Hillary agrees and repeats the AP by stating "everyone knows that you cant win the white house without the hardworking blue collar white voters….what in the nonsense is this….my vote doesn't count…it doesn't matter?….that's division not unity….obama has never singled out his core supporters and if hillary can win without the black, the young or the well educated voters than if she gets the nominee i guess i can stay home right?….and by the way, i was a mike huckabee supporter for different reason, but Obama won me over.

It is not about policy, it is about who can get things done in Washington. Obama's message has been change…but can he affect that change. The answer can be found by looking to the past and resoundingly it is no. He will go to Washington, fight the powers that be, and lose. This will mean that he will not only not affect change but accomplish very little in the 4 short yrs he will reside in the White House…if he wins. He will actually do more damage to America than John McCain by handing the White House back to Republicans come 2012. Hillary Clinton knows better how things work and I believe she can actually make change, enact policy, and retain the White House for 8 yrs while giving her VP a huge step up in 2016.

Oregon is a good place for Obama to build his lead over the Clintons substantially. It has a much more liberal base of voters, white collar, educated non biased people. Clinton brags about her voters who are white, older, blue rural collar un-educated people. As far as I know, uneducated people don’t run America or its politics and they are also the most uniformed and easily manipulated voters.

matt n ohio:

Be careful. Every time someone tells Obama that he can't do something, he goes out and does it.

How do you think he got THIS far? Because someone told him he can't beat Hillary.

In other words, it's people like you that drive him to succeed.

So Obama attracts mainly the educated professionals. Hillary attracts mainly the uneducated and old white people. From what I've heard and read, the demographics of racists are usually uneducated and old white people. Do I have to spell this out anymore or are we all content to just ignore the elephant in the room?

Clinton still claims she can "win" the nomination based upon popular vote. Yet, she must ignore Obama's lead in popular vote to convince the super delegates to "award" her the nomination.

Alas, it's delegates that matters.

All clinton gained from her blow-out win last night was 11 delegates, too little, too late!

Obama will be the nominee, barring a cataclysmic turn of events!

I am not sure if Obama supporters know this…Oregon is another "home state" for Hillary Clinton. In fact her Uncle used to be a lumberjack and Hillary has cut down a few trees herself. Yep you guessed it she not only knows how to use a chainsaw but she chews tobacco too!

Of course!
Regardless of what happens in the next couple of primaries, Obama is our nominee and our next president!
Every politician has lovers and haters – just the reality… And any HRC supporters who would rather support McBush would not have voted for Obama anyway… It doesn't matter… We'll still win.
Watch us re-color the electoral map purple !!! With Hagel on our ticket, we should sweep the entire west and north western states… Adding NC and VA to the mix, we should be golden…
WV – we still love you, and we hope you'll give Barack a chance over McBush!

Obama/Hagel 2008

I do wish the news media & Clinton surrogates would stop pushing Clinton as the VP choice. She'll blow the election for him. In that scenario I would have to vote for McCain or independent and Obama is the first presidential candidate that I'd actually like to vote for.

Oregon… I sincerely hope you smash any remaining doubts that Obama is the right choice.

We never hear about abortion issues, with over 1 million babies murdered every year under the guise of womens right to choose, I feel that someone should at least speak up for them in national elections.
Thanks,

Hillary wishes the whole country was like West Virginia. What kind of a country would we have then? Think about it. Turn back the clock or move forward?

But will all those college students who were to come out in 2000 and 2004 to help us keep Bush from selecting pro-choice Supreme Court judges etc just fail to appear in 2008 just as they did in '00 and '04????? I think the youth vote was something like 16% in those past two elections.

There's a long way to go between the excitement of spring and voting day in November, and the attention span of our young people has been notoriously short. I've been disappointed in the youth vote before, after having worked hard to bring it out, and, sadly, I don't expect to be any less disappointed this year.

The Dems would be better off counting on the seniors and other reliable voting groups all of whom seem to be supporting and voting for Clinton in 2008.

WV means little at this stage – this was Clinton's second win of 65% or more, but Obama has won by that margin 7 times (including both caucuses and primaries). Oregon is significant only in that it will likely take Obama to the overall majority of pledged delegates. Time to get behind the nominee and move on.

Hillary beats McCain pants down. Period. End of discussion!!!

I find it funny how well-known Clinton supporters are now suggesting Obama should pick her as VP, while Obama obviously needs someone with international experience, not surrounded by controvercies and who would fight for him…

The most liberal Senator in Congress leading by 20 points in a rich elitist liberal state like Oregon??? No…..

I have been thinking about this for the past couple of days, and was wondering how anybody caring to read this thinks about it:

Sen. Clinton, as of late, has attempted to move the party back to its FDR base, as can be evidenced by her large efforts and big wins in blue collar and Catholic states. However, her strong support for Sen. McGovern in 1972 seems somewhat antithetical to this, since McGovern essentially alienated that base (and lost in a landslide as a result), and changed the makeup of the party leadership in the process. Clinton once supported this shift, but now decries it.

I guess my question is, what changed for Sen. Clinton? Is it an honest attempt to reach out to the party's forgotten base in an effort to bring them back into the fold, or does she see such action as politically expedient when contrasted with Sen. Obama, who bears a stronger resemblance to Sen. McGovern (in my opinion)?

Just something I was thinking about…

Democrats '08

Voters with brains: "Hillary, your behavior is and has been less than flattering please leave the room."

Hillary: "No!"

Voters with brains: "It's time to stop this nonsense, please leave the…"

Hillary: "No I won't (streaming tears). The nomination is mine and you're just big duty heads for not supporting me!!"

Voters with brains: "What did you…?!?!?! Don't you look at me like that. Does someone need a time out?!?!"

1)CNN I understand that you and all other media are interested in making this race closer then it is,but if you call yourself NEWS organization could you report about superdelegats Obama picked up this morning?
Who are they,which states they represent,what is a margin now???Thanks.

2)Oregon will be a Knockout.

3)Obama to stop this Nonsense about Clinton as a VP, should
meet with Sibelius or Jim Webb or whomever it is to discuss "general perspectivs of the countrys future " without talking directly about VP slot.

Ever heard of an empty vessel make sounds? Thats what clinton is. She needs to wisen up and back off coz there is no way she is ever going to win

sally, new york:

I agree that he shouldn't ignore any states, even the ones that he has no hope of winning. I disagree with him on that.

But unfortunately, both candidates have been guilty of that. It would be nice if they treated each state equally.

I still remember when Gerald Ford told New York to "Go to hell!" He never recovered from that.

There's so much noise about how patriotic Americans are…duh! For all those threatening to vote McCain and not Obama, you deserve the highest award of shame for unpatriotism and idiocy.

So, you would rather destroy your country, kill your brothers and sisters for a 100 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, go Trillions of Dollars more in debt, lose your home and sleep in the gutter and freezing cold or squat with someone who has more sense than you, ship all your jobs overseas while you whine and complain all over these blogs and die in penury, die even more quicker because McCain has no provision for a solid healthcare plan, ridicule America in the eyes of the world while China and India take over.

I think you must be the dumbest of the dumb to vote yourself into destruction! Don't you realize how easy it is to destroy something than build it up? Yet, you have devilishly conspired to destroy America by voting against your best interests, against the good and life of your brothers and sisters, against the good of your own children and subsequent generations!

Okay, since you are so super-stupid, vote McCain, who cares? If you have a problem with Obama because he is so visionary and far ahead of you losers, whose fault is that? If he doesn't win, note these:

1. He has become more popular than your entire generations will be
2. He has been known to stand for something and highly-gifted
3. He is only 46 and can afford everything for his own family
4. Michelle will never need to worry about food or gas prices
5. Those guys are highly gifted, well trained and can only have more
6. Their children would likely not end up in Iraq but yours are there
7. The list is endless…

So, go vote McCain and don't complain when all the American soldiers are killed and America is finaly sold to China. You will have no choice to go work in China for .50 cents per day! Now, you know you are such a BIG LOSER!

The majority of Clinton supporters will support Obama in November…

Some will not, but I think most realize the stakes, and put that above sour grapes and petty jealousy.

However, most of the folks who keep repeating they won't support Obama on this blog will probably stick to their word. They can congratulate themselves if Obama loses, and smirk for a bit. They can also pat themselves on the back when the US troop casualty count comes in each month, and feel proud they help perpetuate that. They can smile to themselves as the dollar continues to weaken and friends and family can't find blue collar jobs in America, and know they had a hand in that too. As more conservative judges are appointed to the supreme court, they can laugh to themselves and say "yeah, but we sure taught the DNC a leason, didn't we?"

So be proud Obama haters, you are the true Americans aren't you?…
Let me answer that for you…
No, you're not, you are sad little hypocrites. Flip this situation around and you too would be just as disgusted by the Obama supporters vowing to vote for McCain, as we are by you.

It was a crushing win and the ONLY reason he is picking up endorsements is because of the math and only the math. Not because he is a better candidate. The elite democrats don't want a riot to occur. Hillary will be ahead in popular vote and he will be ahead in the delegate race. The American people did not choose the candidate, the elite democratic elders did. I will be voting for JOhn McCain for numerous reasons. I'm an Dem turned Independent and one, we can't just pull out of Iraq. IF we do then we will have to go back to war to take it back from Iran (right before they nuke Israel).

Obama is full of empty promises. Promises he has yet to prove. He will cross over and get Republicans to join him. Yeah right. When has he done that. His Senate record doesn't even show that. Hell, Hillary has done more of that than he has. For the Obamaians who just blow WV off like it was nothing need to wake up. WV's just like every other American knows Obama has the nomination. Well guess what? Thier vote says they don't like that. And if Michelle Obama opens her mouth one more time, surely America will see how they really feel about America. Does she ever have anything good to say about Americans. I have yet to hear it. She is just too snooty to be likeable.

I registered as a Democrat this primary so I would be able to cast my vote for Obama. I am still undecided as to who I will vote for in the general election but as long as there is no Clinton on the ballet, either Obama or McCain will be quite satisfying to me. However, if Obama chooses Clinton as VP then my vote will surely go to McCain.

Crushing win? The only thing that got crushed is Chelseas' inheritance. Hillary is a joke and the sooner everyone realizes this, the better off the dems and America will be. WesT Virginia is the poster state for race in America and Clinton played her last strong card, the race card that is. I am a college educated 50 year old whiote male from Western NY and I`ve supported Obama since he threw his hat in the mix. He is for real. Hillary is a repeat that weve seen on the Republican channel. Obama-mentum!

ps Let the Clintonistas have their last moment in the spot light. And I want some of whatever Terry McAuliffe is using.

Nicely said MYA.

It is time to come together however long this race goes on and highlight our preferred candidates strengths without tearing down the other.

Unity '08

How trivial some people can be with such important issues. Clinton supporters who threaten to vote for John McCain are only hurting themselves as well as the rest of the nation. Four more years of Bush policies and economics will cripple this great nation of ours. In the grand scheme of things, it should not matter that a candidate is black or white, male or female, as long as they can do the job. Let us as a country, give Barack Obama the chance to prove what he can do for us.

Besides having the credentials needed to be a fantastic president, the man is very, very easy on the eyes.

OBAMA, 2008!!!

Not even a congratulations from the Obama supporters – they indeed are immature – May be they watch too many wrestling matches on TV – what if he wins in Oregon – the issue is – will he win in November -as things stand Oregon may be an outlier – Hillary now leads in votes by 97,742 votes.

W V is not worth a hell of beans in the big picture…..Oregon let's blow her out of the water.

We are looking for future not the past. We have learned a lot with Clinton's and Bushes in the White House.

I would just LOVE to know, WHY she has her handlers pushing the VP spot when she has said he is unelectable… When she has said first that she would be the nominee after Iowa, then said caucuses don't matter when she wasn't; who said that she was ahead in the popular vote, then cried foul to the media who ate it up (for RATINGS, not for bias…) when she wasn't; who said she was ahead in the Superdelegate race, then said that he couldn't win uneducated White people when she wasn't anymore (which is not a big thing to brag about, having people who probably aren't critical thinkers bolstering your campaign… Yeah, THAT'S who I want picking my President… look how that turned out for the last 8 years… resting case… exiting soapbox…); and are those uneducated White people as incensed at the insensitivity of that backhanded comment, as they are about Rev. Wright (who was RIGHT, but only uneducated sheep wouldn't know that…)? No. They want Billary on the ticket… or they'll vote McCain… Proof that some people should stay home in November…

lets see. we owe 20 million dollars, mismanged our campaign, had a sure thing and screwed it up. if we drop out we can't repay the 20 million. what do we do. i know, lets do all we can to ruin the demo party, lets play the race card in WV before the primary to get a win no matter what the costs. COSTS. YES, WE HAVE 20 MILLION REASONS TO STAY IN THIS "RACE:??? hard to figure this out.

but still ignoring states like Kentucky and WV is not a good strategy. He needs vote from same people in Nov. What is he going to do then?

The majority of Clinton supporters will NEVER support Obama.
She will win both KENTUCKY AND OREGON!

GO HILLARY!!!!

Kentucky will be Hillary's last victory. The media keeps mentioning "big wins" for Hillary…….she was expected to win in these states…….the margin of victory at this point is moot. The delegate count is what matters…….and Hillary cannot make up the delegate gap difference. Inflating media narratives of Hillary's victories make this appear that she will make a come back……….inflating narratives have their effect…………mathematics don't lie……

Some guy in the South is selling T-shirts at his bar with a picture of a monkey eating a banana that says "Obama in '08″. These are the types of voters that will never vote for Obama. The hard-working Americans, the white Americans that support Hillary. It's sad that some parts of our country are still living in the past…

Educated, white-guy for Obama!

Letha, sioux falls SD, I guess you support the war, foreclosures, high gas, food etc. I suppose Freedom of speech don't care who speaks it.

Why is CNN not reporting on the 4 new Super Delegates for Obama today?

Why when a state with more white voters goes for Hillary are they redneck and racist, but when african american populations vote 90% for Obama, is that not racist?

Obama is a racist elitist. He only cares about the black community. A lot of white people that support Obama are just feeling sorry for black people because of how they were treated. That is the only reason Obama is successful today, out of pity.

I will never vote for obamma. he is a racist black i hane no respect for

so let me get this strait Hilliary is banking on the white, non-college educated vote as reason to continue this nonsense. in other words America do you want the next president to be chosen by the dumb of our nation? it happened the last 8 years and look what happened. If i were Hillary i would not be so proud that the only vote you can muster is from idiots in backwards thinking states. but then again its only logical to Hillary or should I say HILLOGICAL

Remaining primaries are inconclusive. Obama will win 3, and Clinton will win 2. Net effect – delegate lead for Obama will stay about the same. Press tries to manufacture excitement . . . but this isn't exciting. We all may as well catch some shut-eye, while Obama generally keeps his lead and slowly rolls toward nomination.

OBAMA DON'T WORRY IT WAS A HILLBILLY STATE ANYWAY

It's over Hillary!!! So what CNN and Hillary are saying is, if your stupid a dn conservative you're for Hillary? Finally that explains her support in some states!! I've wrote this before, "You want then take her, most upsaters want her out of NY also!"

We may be liberal democrats [although I would not characterize myself as that], but we vote based on issues that matter rather than emotional issues. Man, woman, black, white — who cares! We look at the serious issues that matter to us [the war, the environment, to mention two] and vote for the PERSON we think is best for the job.

We also have a lot of young voters in our [liberal] colleges, who will no doubt help the swing to Obama because the see their future under Clinton as opposed their future under Obama, and Obama wins hands down.

I'm old, white, female, HS education, low-income, and I voted for Obama too. If Hillary wins the nomination, I'll vote for her in the fall.

This reflects what an educated electorate can do. Come on America, forward together.
Obama 08

Oregon realizes that Obama is the best candidate to put in the race against McCain. I was thrilled to hear Obama has picked up 4 super delegates today,and hopefully they will keep on rolling. I also hope that Kentucky has a much better understanding that this world has changed, as WV did not. I have seen nothing but negative comments by WV voters attitudes for voting for a black President. They have shown themselves to small minded and that their mentality is rather shallow. While Clinton may have won, she did win based on distinguishing black and white, and she should be ashamed of how she is dividing this party. In her minds eye, it is all about her, not about the country.

Obama has won the Democratic nod. Hillary needs to pack up and support the Democratic as we set out to beat Mcain and take back the White House. Her wins are just for show she does not have a mathematical chance to win the race .

Go Obama 08

T in Texas

"She vows to push forward" Hasn’t bush shown what staying the course does when your fighting a loosing battle?

Lets not forget Obama won every county in Washington during the caucus.

It is sad that so many people use the gift of sight that God gave us to hate. For no other reason than what the color of someones skin is.

The people in WV would have voted for a white monkey last night, as long as it was white. Any white man running against Obama would have won last night. They didn't vote for Clinton. They voted her color.

I am proud to live in Oregon where we vote not by the color of someones skin, but by who would make the better President.

Clinton is running for her own ego, not for you and I. I am a white female, educated and over 45 and I wouldn't have voted for her if she were the only person running. NO matter what color her skin was.

I fear for Obama's safety if elected. I hope everyone is giving serious consideration to keeping him and his family safe. I do not understand hating someone for the color of their skin, but sadly there are others out there who don't agree.

May there be peace after this election.

I just am just completely thankful that our next president won't be picked by some of the dumbest least educated in this country. I'm sorry but that is just the way it is. There are people in West VA who aren't voting for Obama because he's muslim ?! When they were told he is actually Christian..the response was "well I don't beleive any of that" ?!?
Other countries and if there were people from other planets would think we as a society were insane if they saw that Hillary's largest voting block was the uneducated and the Obama's was the most educated and Hillary won. Also its kind of interesting CNN was kind of relatively silent on the fact that Obama gained at least 6 more superdelegates (which does actually matter) while Hillary was celebrating her big win that really doesn't matter. They did update their count though. I saw the article first on Foxnews.com and it was front and center. Of course, as usual, this probably won't get posted by CNN.

CNN is always lost with respect to updating its news. Anyway, no matter what the media says OBAMA will be the democratic nominee.
YES WE CAN.OBAMA 08.

It's interesting that in almost all of the comments here that support HRC still having any chance at the nomination all contain the word "if" multiple times. Without all the "ifs", what you have is reality.

Hillary, Barak, Florida, Michigan, Super delegates, Jeremia Wright, Bosnia sniper.

Can you spell DUMB-O- CRATS??????????????

Time for all Obama supporters, myself included to just start ignoring these hate filled Clinton supporters. I hate to tell you guys and girls this, but IF you vote for McCain, and he wins, it will be the poor, undereducated folks who will bear the brunt of McCains policies. He will give the rich more tax breaks, and will NOT help you get healthcare, and he wants to start more wars. Guess who are the first to go to war, undereducated people who are DESPERATE for a way to support their family. So keep voting against your best interests and see how well it works out for y'all.

About time for the Democrats to start threatening to leave if they don't win. They best start practicing their new anthem and they'll get national health care too. What a deal and a great tune to boot.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

It's looking like we're going to reach the "D-Day" that the Obama campaing set: by May 20 he will have enough delegates to claim the nomination. Of course, this will have absolutely no effect on Billary who keeps moving the goal posts and pressing her fuzzy math to the press and supers. Even with MI and FL Barack still wins. Keep at that bold general election strategy that goes into the places that everyone expects to go Repub, Obama campaign; we're going to need it come November.

So if Obama wins in Oregon, can we say that reverse racism is what clinched the victory for him?

"Enlightened" Oregonian Liberals will break their necks to publically display how "enlightened" they are, that they can and will vote for a black man. If that's what it takes for Oregonians to feel good about themselves, then so be it.

I wouldn't vote FOR Obama, for the same reason I would not NOT VOTE for him: his skin pigment is irrelevant. If it's appalling for folks to NOT vote for Obama because of his skin pigmentation, is it no less appalling to vote FOR him BECAUSE of his skin pigmentation? Racism is Racism is Racism.

The fact remains that Obama is out there right now, saying nothing better than it's ever been said… and what's truly sad is so many liberals and the media (same people, really) are dancing to the pied piper's tune, completely (and williningly) oblivious to the fact that the emperor has no clothes.

Older voters are more reliable than hippie liberals in the general election. They go overwhelmingly for Hillary. While it is very clear Obama is winning more states, lets remember that there will always be more republican states than democratic states in november, but the democrats need to win the bigger states with more delegates. Obama will NOT take the Carolinas, Georgia, or much of the midwest in the general election, so it would very much help to ease the democrats fears if he could at least show he can win one big DEMOCRAT state.

Today, Indiana Congressman Pete Visclosky became the 286th superdelegate to endorse Barack Obama for President.

…Yes…WE…Can…

All you HRC lovers – or losers I should say…..give it up already! My goodness, what's it going to take to just move on. She's such a sore loser and yes keep your votes -Obama will be just fine!

We here in Portland have been behind Obama from the start!!

We have Dems who say they want vote for Obama, but we have just as many Rep. who say they will. Just something to think about for you Clinton supports who want support Obama. It sounds like an even trade to me, except the cross over Rep. is getting the better part of the deal. Just my 2 cents or 1.

Now is the time to kiss and make up to get ahead of the game.

Obama 08!

Whoop-dee-doo! Obama will still lose in November if he's the Democratic nominee. The vast majority of us Hillary supporters will NOT vote for him, and we will not change our minds. Period. There is no way the Great divider Obama will unify us, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, CNN talking heads.

Obama stole my Florida vote for Hillary, and he'll just have to be satisfied with that. He gets nothing else from me.

And I don't care about Roe vs. Wade. I can no longer have children.

Please, please Hillary get out!!! I'm starting to feel embarresed for her. It has become "all about Hillary" and NOT the democratic party. It's almost like "if I can't win, NO ONE is going to get it" and to hell with everyone else. Obama has "blown" her away just in his organizational skills and money not to mention how many other "swing" states he has carried. Demographics are changing. The west is getting so much more populated that Hillary can't keep repeating, "back when Bill was running…….". Please Hillary get out and save your money. I would not be opposed to her as VP just not president. I want someone in Washington with NO inside connections to lobbiests or big business. We need a fresh start with someone new that really can give us that "HOPE" again and that the American Dream is not dead after Bush killed it!!!! And McCain will do worse than "kill" the American Dream, we won't have a country left to dream about!!!! And I was a republican up until this administration!!!

All the fat ladies will sing in Nov.

We won't let Obama and the corrupt DNC steal this election.

We will not condone their terrible treatment of Clinton, by voting for Obama in Nov.

Obama did mention that a victory speach will be given on the 20th, for the Democrat nomimation. Hillary is auditioning for Vice President

i wonder how the remaining states feel about obama ignoring them.

GO OBAMA! WE ARE WITH YOU!
HILLARY IS O.K TO LOSE. WE GOT ENOUGH FROM ALL YOUR FAMILY! THIS COUNTRY NEEDS NEW LEADERS AND NEW GENERATIONS NEED TO KNOW THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE MORE CAPABLE PEOPLE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY BESIDES THE BUSH AND CLINTON'S FAMILIES
GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA
LATINOS FOR OBAMA

Personally, while I do thing everyone needs a vote, I hope that this primary doesn't hinge on the ignorant and racist voters. Anyone who wouldn't vote for a person soley because of the color of his/her skin isn't doing their civic duty to learn about the important issues facing this country, and they aren't very patriotic if they aren't willing to do the work to educate themselves about the issues facing all of us in the US.

Give it up OBAMA!!!! Senator Clinton will be the next US President!!!

when will people learn that he can't win the office against McCain. Hillary showed last night that he wont appeal to white votes. This white guy wont vote for him and there are many more like me. Enjoy 4 more years of republican rule.

I am so proud of Senator Obama. Please DO NOT offer the VP position to Hillary Clinton.

Has anyone noticed that the supporters of Hillary Clinton in West Virginia admitted (at least they have the guts) that they voted on race? How can Hillary beam with joy when her voters admitted that they voted for her because she is white? Hillary is crazy, I will remember her orange jacket standing on the podium in West Virginia when she returns to Maryland in 2012 or 2016 looking for the black vote. I pray this never happens because no black american will ever vote for her if Senator Obama looses this election.

She can return with her cheating husband to New York and hope the voters in New York allow her to become their governor. As far as I am concerned, Hillary and Bill are finished in the black community and I will actively campaign against them if either decide to run for public office again! I GUARANTEE THIS!

Pamela:

I didn't know he won 3 superdelegates. I thought is was only 2. SWEET!!!

He's got all the numbers, and his momentum continues despite WV. May 20th will be the day when he secures a majority of the pledged delegates. The super delegates aren't going to go against that – even the parties most senior officials have stated as much (the Pelosi club).

Hillary's only purpose in continuing to campaign is to try to put herself in a position where she can strong-arm her way into the VP. She's not concerned with what's best for the party right now, only what's best for her.

Fine, can she please get out of the kitchen now?

Isn't it HiLaRious that the "uneducated" vote for Clinton and the "educated" vote for Obama. Sometimes I wish some talking-head-political-pundit would just blurt out "all the stupid people vote for Hillary" instead of trying to be politically correct. I think it would make the people who vote for Clinton re-think their choice: "hmm, all the stupid people are voting this way and all the educated people vote the other way… maybe I should vote the way the smart people are voting…" It's a hopeless cause because of course uneducated people don't think at all; they're just going with their gut racial biases.

CNN's quote says it all:
"Oregon promises to be more favorable for Obama, given its broader swath of liberal and college educated Democrats."

This proves Clinton and her supporters point that she can win the GE in November with the blue collar workers in America. They out number the Obama coalition 2-1.

If the DNC really wants to get a democrat elected in November they should be checking out the Electoral Math and not the DNC's fuzzy Primary Math NOW!

He also picked up three more endorsements/superdelegates and one of them was a repbulican….this is news….it cleary shows that WV did not change anything…..Obama doesn't need to reconcile with anyone. I believe and it's sad to say this, but I'm really believing that this has become a race issue. When you're throwing bricks into his campaign shops in Indiana and when his phone workers are being cursed and called racist names (even the white workers)…than that's what this has become. It's sad that some of you made up in your minds in 1957 you would never vote for a black man…and some of you have poisoned your children the same way. WV clearly confirmed that yesterday….not all of you, but most of you!

Of course..
He tried to fast track himself to the presidency- although he has done absolutely nothing for his country- by cheating and by the threats of his supporters and by demeaning his worthy opponent.

Isn't this the state where they vote by mail? If so, then that means that the polls are going to be relatively accurate.

Mathematically, he doesn't even have to win. But he's winning, which is icing on the cake.

To all you Obama nay-sayers: Even if you would never vote for him, that's OK, because there are enough of us who are willing to give him the same chance that we gave to Bill Clinton.

Hillary can't get enough delegates to hit the magic number.Even if they count the florida vote she is still behind.It's a waste of time to let her stay in just to get her supporters to foot her campaign bill.

ITs not about Obama vs CLinton. I voted for Obama here in Atlanta but would just as soon for for Hillary had she won. My allegiance is to my country not one particular candidate. I think B.O. wouold be a better President than Hillary. His organization skills during this campaign season shows he knows how to manage. BUt BOTH dems would be better than Mccain bya LONGSHOT! Hillary would get my vote in a heartbeat over Mccain. Again its not about Obama vs Clinton. ITs about Failed policies of the past vs. A better future for AMerica

Since WV is such a white racial state, I knew he wasn't going to do well there. Who cares what the margin is for Billary, she was supposed to take the state anyway. She is still behind in most states won, popular vote, pledged delegates, super delegates…she can never catch up….Oregon will be a great win for Barack! Glad to know that he is leaving her behind in the dust.. Now all she's got is to figure out how to steal the nomination. I wouldn't worry about it though because the super delegates aren't that stupid! I would have to say also that I hope he NEVER considers putting her on the ticket..that would be political suicide!!!!

I want to encourage all of us to come together. This primary season has been so good and challenging for our political system. But, the math is the math and I'm not really sure what HRC's motives are for staying in, but, in a way I respect that. As long as she can get behind Obama once he's the nominee and enourage all of her supporters to do the same will the Democrats really have a chance at beating McCain in November.

Why does he care about Oregon & act like WV doesn't exist? Very arrogant on his behalf. And he wants to be Commander & Chief, I live in Florida and Obama, has blocked re-votes here and counting the votes of over 1.7 million, I won't vote for him. He's playing so very dirty games.

Uncounted in Florida

Clinton or no vote!

Sen Obama is the one and it saddens me to know that Hillary is a racist. She is the one who has divided our Dems.

I realize for Hillary it is not about the Dem Party, but it is all about her and the self-center image she has about herself.

World Division: is her best math.

It's funny how most uneducated dems are Clinton supporters… It's also very telling.

Hillary winning is like what happens in sports. A team clutches the top seat in the playoff and so the next game they play the put in the 2nd string because they want to rest the first string for the playoffs. Obama has won the nomination; he must now get ready to battle McCain. Wake up folks. It is over.

mya

you are right

also he will win oregan more then 20%

he will end his campaign there. he will be over the top

Great about oregon. I am ashamed to admit that WV is my former home state. Their polling actual admitted in high percentage that their decision was race based. That is NOT something to be proud of. If anything, just prove the stereotype of WV. Sad. The same goes for any other state that voted on race as well. Maybe including SC. Grow up. Get over it.

Come on Oregon, do what my sorry state should have done and show Clinton the door once and for all. By the way thank you all my fellow people here who were brave and did vote for Obama. I know exactly what it took for you to do that.

Not as many bigots living in Oregon obviously as there is in Ohio, Penn, WVA and Kentucky.

While everyone is so focused on all the Hillary supporters that claim they won't vote for Obama in November, why is no one saying anything about the large number of moderate conservatives that will vote for Obama. There are a huge number of Republicans so sick of that party that they will run to anyone qualified and inspiring.

Obama appeals to a broad cross section of the American public (with the exception of WV apparently)

It's about time for all those Clinton fans to stop drinking the kool aid and come into the light of reality. We have a crucial job here in November and it's called electing Obama and STOPPING McBUSH!! For God's sake, WAKE UP and stop whining about your delusional "Hill-Billy" candidate!!! She's completely out of touch with the real world and right now, so are all of her "supporters."

Obama for President ! Way to go Oregon ….

Obama will be the Nominee for President so every onr should face it and united together. Hillary winning on Tuesday just shows that there are still red neck in WV. She only gain 16 delegates. She can't win and she won't win. Hillary supporters it's of ok that you guys still have faith in HRC. But are you going to have to face reality she is not going to get the nomimation. Face it!

I agree if you gonna swear to vote for McCain over Obama and you're a Democrat, you deserve another George Bush style Administration, just don't go getting yourself all worked up when the War in Iran begins and gas is $10 a gallon….What a bunch of dumbas*es

Let's go, Oregon; we are counting on you for a BIG WIN!

clinton and obama's policies are virtually the same so whoever gets the nomination there's no reason why any democrat should be voting for mccain whose policies go against everything we've been fighting for. the only obstacle i can see is people being afraid to vote for a black man. it's sad that racism is still an issue in 2008 but it is, and you know there will be some people who rather vote for mccain purely because of his skin color. Mike in Columbus… i hope you are right about november.

President Obama has a nice ring to it:)

Obama Know two weeks ago that he would loose to Billary so its no surprise. WV is all red neck so am not expecting Obama to win that State in November.

Obama will take Oregon, Montana and North Dakota flying and maybe PR, as the people in the Carribean is not so stupid as those came from other Latin country.

Go Obama, go there and make History, and God speed!
Hillary: You will not win the nomination, but you're still a STAR.

I for one am shocked that Hillary would have her Lane County office across from a strippers (gentleman's) club. I thought that she was the candidate to empower women, this is not the way to do it. That being said, I have been an Obama supporter a little after John Edwards dropped out. I personally think that those who have said that they would not support Obama are actually chaos Repubs…………..Obama 08

Come on Oregonmacins bring it home for Barack he will always have your backs and bring green jobs to Oregon.

Barack 08!!!

The Oregon win by Obama will not be enough to cut into Clinton's vote lead. She now leads in votes by 97,742 votes. Oregon is the only significant state left in Obama's favor. Kentucky and Puerto Rico will further Clinton's popular vote lead.

Have we become the party that doesn't care about the popular vote anymore?

it's time to unit the party behind the nominee.

I' m killing myself laughing here. Last night DAVID WOLFSON, Clinton's spinmaster, was gushing on CNN, about the huge Clinton victory in WV. He stated that this morning superdelegates would open their newspapers, digest the results and create a stampede to endorse Clinton. WELL,… guess they didn't read the papers. First thing i read,…. FOUR more super delegates endorse OBAMA.. Talk about a hollow and phyrric victory.!!!

I hope Oregon gives Obama a landslide victory. They better think in Kentucky too. Their State has lost jobs because of NAFTA. Who signed NAFTA ? Who said it was a victory for her husband? I guess West Virginia voters forgot that.

To all Clinton supporters:

Senator Clinton has even stated the policies between Obama and herself are not that different…

To all Obama supporters:

Do we REALLY want to take a chance on alienting a core group of people who could put Senator Obama over the top?

To all Democrats who SWEAR they will never vote for the "other" candidate if theirs loses:

Do we REALLY want another four years of Bush – because that is what you will get with McCain…

Put the pettiness aside, and let's get this country back on track. I support Obama, but if Clinton pulls it out I will be campaigning for her just as strong…anyone care to join me? ANyone from the Clinton camp share the view?

DEMOCRATS '08

CNN: why are you not reporting the additional superdelegates Obama has been endorsed by this morning? Yes, of course he will win Oregon they are educated and informed people. Obama will also win Montana & South Dakota.

Time to move on past the tiny significance of WV! Oregon alone is enough to quiet this nonsense. Pack your bags, HRC.

Just goes to show that rest of America is not like West Virginia.
Even if Jesus Christ were to come doen on earth but as an Afro-American, West Virginia would still reject him. Had it not been for Robert Byrd pumping money in the state, people would still be swinging from trees here.

I guess the people in Oregon have no taste.

Hey CNN! What about the 3 superdelegates Obama won this morning?

Mya….too late…his supporters have said some of the meanest things I have ever heard someone say about another individual….if they all of a sudden start being nice, that's pandering. At least state how you really feel….otherwise why bother? Do you think Hillary's supporters don't get it? We've been fighting an uphill battle for her ever since January when the media love-fest started for him…….we really are not as "uneduacted" as the media has portrayed…..

Has anyone bothered to read michelle's thesis from college???? Scarey!!!!

Once these hillbilly states are done pumping Hill with false hope we can move on to the November election. Please Oregon drive the last nail home (again)

Oregon – you can do it! Let's see if you can beat Idaho's largest margin of victory for Obama. Can you go for him by more than 79%?? I think so!!

Obama '08

Good for Obama. Let's all try to get excited about our nominee!

according to Obama's website, he has a total of 1889.5 delegates with 135.5 more to go ! C'mon SDs and Oregon.

All you Hillary supporters voting for McCain are only proving one thing. You are sore losers and are attracted to voting for losers…
OK that was 2 things..

CNN WHAT ABOUT THE 2 NEW SUPER DELEGATES OBAMA PICKED UP THIS MORNING…AND ALSO THE ENDORSEMENT FROM THE FORMER SEC COMMISSONERS……MNSBC HAS RELEASED THIS INFO ALREADY…

GO OBAMA…KEEP THEM COMING…30 SUPER DELEGATES IN A WEEK…..

THE WIN IN VA MEANT NOTHING….

As we all closely watch this primary, we MUST remember that the basic electoral process that allowed the elections of 2000 and 2004 be tampered with to insure that Bush would "win" is still in place, still vulnerable to the vast corporate power that in actuality rules this nation. Bush's family friend makes and sells the touch screen voting machines and insists they can't produce a paper receipt for each vote logged…yet he also makes and sells the ATMs that ALWAYS give a paper receipt! We must insist on a paper trail for our votes AND the ability to do recounts! Wasn't it Stalin who said that it is not WHO votes that counts, but who counts them?

COME ON OREGON SHOW THE CLINTONS THAT THEY NEED TO STOP DREAMING ABOUT IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN 09. 2004 WAS THEIR YEAR.

" But Oregon promises to be more favorable for Obama, given its broader swath of liberal and college educated Democrats."

..should be..

"But Oregon promises to be more favorable for Obama, given its broader swath of liberal colleges."

Good. I hope this trend continues. I think Obama is the right candidate for the Democrats.

Dems it's time to unite!!!

To all of you so-called Democrats who promise to vote for McCain if Obama is the nom: don't the let the door hit your hypocritical butt on the way out.

What ever the polls say really doesn't matter since Obama will lost key votes in the general election. I am an independent and will never vote for him.

Good. I hope this trend continues. I think Obama is the right candidate for the Democrats.

West Virginia will have no affect on how Oregon votes. We love Obama here.

Because they are enlightened out there. They know what is best for the country. BTW Obama has picked up tons of endorsements today (the day after her so called crushing win)

To my fellow Obama supporters, please go out of your way to be nice to Sen. Clinton's supporters. We need all of them to win in Nov, and we're one democratic 'family' after all!

What about the 2 superdelegates that endorsed Obama today! Please report it CNN—even Yahoo is reporting it.

The majority of Clinton supporters will support Obama in November…

Some will not, but I think most realize the stakes, and put that above sour grapes and petty jealousy.

However, most of the folks who keep repeating they won't support Obama on this blog will probably stick to their word. They can congratulate themselves if Obama loses, and smirk for a bit. They can also pat themselves on the back when the US troop casualty count comes in each month, and feel proud they help perpetuate that. They can smile to themselves as the dollar continues to weaken and friends and family can't find blue collar jobs in America, and know they had a hand in that too. As more conservative judges are appointed to the supreme court, they can laugh to themselves and say "yeah, but we sure taught the DNC a leason, didn't we?"

So be proud Obama haters, you are the true Americans aren't you?…

this poll has been out for weeks. cnn, you are late and lost. how about the new superdelegates that Sen Obama picked up since last night.

Hey…by the way…Obama picked up two more superdelegates this morning! So much for Hillary's "Big" win in WV!!!
