Obama is beating McCain by a wider marging. Let's face it, the only way that Clinton can win is by changing the rules and completely ignoring the fact that Obama has won.

Oh my my my……. Well it seems now that Sen. Obama beats McCain and Clinton….. this is getting to good. Obama 08! People just like Sen. Obama more….even though he lost WV. Sen. Obama will win more states in the fall and I think WV shows that racism does still exist in America despite what some say…..it is a fact. People need to face the fact and let Sen. Obama help heal this nation. Being bi-racial he has a unique DNA that can help this country. Obama for equality!!!

West Virginia does not represent the views of the rest of the country. When are people going to realize this?

I'm not putting down WV either, no single state represents the country as a whole, so exit polls of one state will not tell us what everyone else is thinking.

I think most people who say they wouldn't for the 'other' democratic candidate are republican operatives trying to widen the rift. One cue is how those people always have obvious female names from upcoming primary states.

Otherwise, those are democrats who say this while they know deep down they would support the democratic nominee no matter what.

Please, We learned everyting we need to know last night. Obama can and will not win in November. Our only hope is for Hillary! Wake Up Obama fans. You guys are going to ruin our chances for not opening your eyes.

duh

And the poll CNN has on it's home page shows Obama beating Mccain by 56 %, Hillary beats Mccain by only 46%. But honestly people aren't dumb and the ones that say they will vote for McCain if their candidate loses are just pissed. They will get over it cause in the end they are only hurting themselves.

This is why polls are useless. Just a week ago, Clinton was slated to best beat McCain, now it is Obama.

Bottom line is that either one of these candidates can beat McCain.

I think that despite all the bickering, the democratic party WILL come together in November in sufficient quantities to beat John McCain. Even Hillary has said over and over that if she is not the candidate, she will back the Democratic candidate 100% and will work to ensure a Democratic victory in November. Sure, there will be a few who can't get past their prejudices and sour grapes, but Democrats who deserve the title will end up voting democrat. The rest? Let 'em go wherever they like.

I will vote Democrat in the fall no matter who the candidate is. Join me?

obama couldn't even win ONE county in WV. what a joke that the presumptive nominee, this late in the race, couldn't even carry ONE county. add obama to the loser list of mondale, dukakis, gore and kerry. 4 more years of republican rule if the superdelegates give him the nomination!

BE CLEAR:

No one was paying attn last nite, nor do they care that Hillary won West Virginia. Barack did not campaign there so that explains the wide margin victory - period. Nothing has changed. She lost.

Here's some math for you…….If nearly 50% of the Democratic electorate is for Clinton, and nearly 50% of those won't vote for Obama should he win the nomination……..McCain wins the general by a landslide.

Your headline about Hillary "crushing" Obama is a curious choice of words. You didn't use that kind of terminology when he crushed her in D.C. and Hawaii, among other places where he finished at better than 70%.

Clinton News Network comes to her rescue again! A little too late. The deck chairs have been rearranged, the band is playing and the lifeboats have been lowered into the water.

Obama/Hagel '08

This is great and all, but to all the Hillary supporters that think most of Senator O's supporters "will support Hillary in November (if she is the nominee) because she is a stronger candidate", NO! She will have the support because we don't want another McCain/Bush term. Thank you very much!

I wonder if Hillary's suppoters were thinking like this when she was the front runner? huh, I think not!

Look to the electoral map for November and Clinton is the stronger candidate. Also, everyone is underestimating the damage done by the constant barrage of sexist, biased media towards Senator Clinton. Her supporters are offended and angry. We have watched her endure this with dignity, always maintaining her focus. The media has been irresponsible and unprofessional. Clinton supporters are not going to let you off the hook. Many will not unite for Obama-and that is a fact.

Two more SD's for Obama. Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schon Marques and Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN).

The presidency isn't decided by popular vote. Its decided by the winner take all electoral college by state.

Obama is unelectable. Just because his numbers are bossted by the black vote doesn't mean he can win the electoral college. he can't.

I don't care about Polls anymore!!!!!!

i love the if my candidate does not win i will vote for mccain democrats.. it is pretty hilarious considering the differences between the two in regards to policy is minute and insignificant..

This is not news to anyone, but those desperate repubs.

Who's more electable in the fall Hill!?! I hate there's this "divide" between Hill Democrats and Obama Democrats, but ultimately McCain will get beat in the general. I love and appreciate my party and I believe we will all rally around Obama and run up the scoreboard on McCain in the fall…. Yes We Can!

Of course they are. America is tired Bush business as usual. Obama and Clinton are both better suited for the job ahead.

Obama will certainly beat him in the fall. Hillary has pledged her support to Obama, so November will be very exciting.

I think the opposite is true. Last's night WV primary showed that McCain will be a much tougher contender in the GE than people are giving him credit for. He will win the White House (if the Democrats let him) just like Bush did twice, by grabbibng the moderates.

Democrats, remember the ultimate goal is to win the White House. Although I am an Obama supporter, I would gladly vote for Clinton if she won the primary. Yes, the primary has been tough at times but what primary isn't? Both Obama and Clinton have positives and negatives as one would expect, but they BOTH bring to the table a positive alternative to 4 more years of Bush politics. And I'm fine with Clinton staying in the race despite the numbers - the remaining states want to be heard and that's why we have primaries. Either way, it will all be over in a few weeks and we can start planning for November which is the most important.

Why in the world would a Hillary backer vote for a right-winger (McCain) over a liberal (Obama) with the same political beliefs as herself?
Wake up, Democrats. I know this has been a heated race, but it's time to unite.

Report these CNN…

Two more SD's for Obama. Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schon Marques and Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN).

hillary's mistake was trying to make the primary about electability and throwing mud was her approach. She succeeded in stirring up racist sentiments but she still won't get the nomination. Obama is trying to move the country forward and she is trying to take us back to 1958. This is why she does so well with the archie bunker demographic.

This is great news! Now let's unite the party and beat McCain!

GOOD DEAL

either can beat mccain

i have to like hillary since i live in arkansas
i have to respect john mc.

BUT, BUT
i fully support barack. we need a change in this great usa because more of the old already been here done it ==is ruining our great usa.
i feel barack can lift our great usa back to the respect we used to have in the eyes of other countries. and bring back the prosperios thriving econamy we used to have.most of all what he can do for us the american people.
I LOVE THIS GREAT US OF A AND WANT THE BEST FOR IT

CNN please post this

Isn't the more important question which candidate will be able to cobble together the votes to win the electors college? Popular vote, as shown clearly by Bush's first victory, isn't the determining factor. It is winning the right combination of states to carry the electoral college that matters. How do they stack up on that count?

So Hillary won 67% of the vote…..BIG DEAL. Has everyone forgotten that Barack has won FIVE primaries with 74% (or more) of the vote, and in mostly WHITE states?? Recap: WashingtonDC 75%, Kansas 74%, Hawaii 76%, Alaska 75%, and Idaho 79%. GIMME A BREAK
with all this hype because she won with 67% in WVa. Spin, Hillary.

CNN and Obama supporters are in DENIAL!

"Clinton and Obama's relatively strong standing against McCain in the poll appear to dispel notions that Democratic party may be unable to come together around one candidate in the fall"

Obama is a weak fool who cannot hold his own!! And the reality is that the Hillary supporters will NOT RALLY BEHIND BO period! Wish all you want!!! You will lose the November is that EMPTY SUIT is nominated……
and the media and Democratic party knows this….hence"yes Obama has alot of work to do" …

Work all you want ELITIST OBAMA YOU ARE SET TO LOSE!

With the media favoring Obama, and Clinton unable too speak freely, Obama has been able to hide, or excuse many greay area's in his past.
Clinton is an open book, and well known, this is going too make it harder for McCann too defeat her.
The superdelagates will decide who runs against Obama, but the voters will decide who is president.
Some of the early voters have learned a lot about Obama since they voted , so do they still feel the same.
Now the Obama has blew off West Virginia and stopped Florida from voting, I think his chances are growing worse everyday.

I like both Clinton and Obama better than Mccain. Mccain's healthcare policy is a joke! And he has flip-flopped on numerous issues in order to win-over more of the repub. constituency, which to me is shameful. What happened to the "maverick" that he used to be.

On the other hand, if Hillary is going to run this country as she run her campaign, we're in big big trouble. She's run her campaign into big time debt, has no exit strategy , and insists on continuing a losing battle…sound familiar?

I can’t believe what’s going on with the Democratic primary election process. Did all of you go to night school, and can’t add in the daytime? It’s the MATH stupid. Obama has the nomination. He’s not going to implode, explode or go away. It’s over. Cope with it! Threats to vote for the Republican candidate if Obama wins only show a lack of commitment to core Democratic principles – not to mention, a lack of commitment to the future of our country. Obama’s entire theme has been one of uniting America. He’ll have his work cut-out for himself (and for the country) if all we as Americans have to offer is cynicism. In the words of another great Democrat, all we have to fear is fear itself.

4 more supers for Obama today!!! Hey CNN, you better stop celebrating for HRC, the loser!!!

Obama will not win a general election, whether right or wrong, he is perceived as an out of touch liberal, just like Mondale and Dukakis.
Race isn't the problem with the majority of voters, it's the inability of Obama to connect with middle America,regardless of race, education level or income, if he can't win this section of the populus he will eventually lose this fall.

oh its only getting started, wait till obama is the unequivocal nominee. Mccain will be getting you tube'd in debates on a daily basis.

So all this Buzz around WV is just BS
Obama is beating Mccain better then Clinton
The Clinton case to superdelegate is no more valid

GO OBAMA !!

Only one can, because CLINTON CAN"T WIN NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT HER TO.

Man, would you look at the selective wording this website uses? You want this to go on forever.

UNITE AND BEAT THE GOP

It is rather amusing to read some of the headlines on this page.

It is obvious that all the TV pundits are milking the story about a rift in our party just so we'll keep tuning in. Man, how these folks can change their minds just to keep the drama going.

The Democratic party will come together. There is no doubt about that given our only other choice - McCain.

clinton need to drop out and let obama do what he soppose to do I will never vote for clinton when she only worry about the white vote all votes count black and white

Polls, polls and more polls….all you have to do is to look at the states and see who is winning the core vote of the democratic primary. It is not Obama for sure! It is Hillary! I was listening to CNN one night after one of the primaries and they were saying that it is a proven fact from previous general elections that it is the white blue collar workers that take the time to go out and vote in the general election and they of course favor Hillary. They also said that the african americans are the sleepers in those elections…and they of course favor Obama.

So the next poll that CNN does they need to ask the questions to the african americans about whether they will vote in the general election if Obama is the nominee…

and by the way… I'm not going to base my opinion of WV on racism… Obama didn't campaign there very much at all and the demographics (race, education, income, etc) just didn't favor him. If he can win Kansas (where he's down right now) and win big in Oregon then I think Clinton bows out sooner than later.

When it becomes apparent that McCain is all bluster and BS, is a warmed over version of GW Bush and does not have the breadth and depth of understanding of foreign and domestic matters and policy that Obama and Clinton have, McCain loses.

Beside the lack of understanding and knowledge, McCain aso:

has an anger management problem
is superstitious
is a compulsive gambler.

I DO NOT WANT McCAIN'S FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR TRIGGER OR ANY OTHER TRIGGER FOR THAT MATTER.

Yes, but the question remains, who would be the best president for this country?

As Obama tires of campaigning, as he places his trust in a biased media and prematurely portrays himself as the nominee, as the media is bewildered at their inability to sway all voters in his direction, as they portray the citizens of W.Va. as insignificant, poor, uneducated (and presumably misguided) whites, as the superdelegates cautiously try to override the voters, as Tim Russert screams "psychology! psychology!" as Andrea Mitches slowly reveals her bias more blatantly by "informing" the voters that Sen.Clinton is not really liked by the Senate, as Pat Buchannon states outright that if Sen. Clinton wins, she will be "taking the nomination away from Obama" (how absurd is that!?), as all this game-playing, so condescending to the voters, goes on, Hillary Clinton is steadily, competently moving forward, and it is she to whom a significant
number of voters are listening.

There are some who will not vote for an African-American or they will not vote for a woman, and since this is America, they have that right. But I believe the vast, vast majority (W. Va. included!) could care less
whether someone is blue, black, red or green, male or female, they care most about a government that will lift up this wounded country. And Sen. Obama has not convinced me that he is the man for the job. In my opinion, Sen. Clinton would probably be the most capable president in our history.

I will not 'unite' for the sake of the party, and vote Obama. I don't care if the Democrats lose.

I think its dumb of clinton to say "i won W. Virginia so I will be the nominee"… Obama hardly campaigned there. Otherwise he would have taken a bite out of her lead like he has in just about every state she had a lead. He pretty much let her have it because the process is pretty much over with. He is in Michigan and Florida where they are not able to count the votes. It just makes me laugh to see Clinton acting like this is such a huge win when it was given to her on a silver platter. She is deliriously insane woman who I would be very scared to have in the White House.

Obama 08

Also, Obama also runs ahead of McCain 51% to 44% in the lastest Washinton Post/ABC poll compared to Clinton 49% to McCain 46%. According to Clinton's argument about 3 weeks ago, per the letter that she wrote, she should be the democratic nomoniee because she runs better in these polls than Obama. Where's that letter at now?

Funny CNN, your heading the one time when these polls were for Clinton read that "Clinton stronger that Obama against McCain" . Now its "Both Clinton and Obama beating MCCain' . How much further proof do we need of your bias?

Clinton is an open book and battle scarred. There's nothing she cannot handle. Obama is an unknown, still not battle tested (except by Clinton herself) and a risk in the general; she's got a better shot.

Either one of them can beat McCain. You can make a big deal out of this WV thing if you would like. If WV is the deciding state for these elelctions then WV got it wrong for the past eight years, which is why they are probably hurting more than anyone else, they keep getting it wrong. The nomination will not be taken away from Obama spin it any which way you can. Nobody knows what anybody is going to do, no can perdict the future. Obama won this nomination fair and square. No one is going to take it from him and give it to Clinton. She is wasting time and money and if Obama was in her shoes he would have been kicked out of the race. He is the nominee and everyone needs to swallow their pride and face it. The repulicans want so back to run against Clinton because she represent the old politics and they probably have so much grabage on her that they want to put out there. They do not have anything else on Obama and they are not going to be able to keep up with him once he really starts campaginig for the general election. It is over for Clinton and I actually feel sorry for her that she will not accept the fact that it is over. God Bless her.

I know that any comment that criticizes CNN will not be published but I will say it any way. I could not believe my ears and eyes yesterday listening to Wolf Blitzer. This man is not all for HRC. having her communication director on which is something he never did for Obama. highlighting a win that is not a loss for Obama, and today CNN is publishing a big artcle that says Clinton W.VA win crushed Obama, and not mentioning anything about the 2 superdelegates that Obama got this morning while she got nothing after that so called crushing win. CNN should be nuetral and instead it is now acting like a Clinton network. how about the math and the delegate count you have on your website. why can't you just have the courage to say that for HRC to win the primaries she will have to win by 70% in all W.VA, Kentucky, and PR, and lose by no more than 8 points in the remaining 3 states and then get 79% of the remaining superdelegates to vote for her?????? why do you trat people as if they are stupid, and keep feeding HRC supporter your BS so they feel that she has a big a chance to win and make them more angrey with Obama. if Obama managed to convince me as an ultra orthodox right wing republican to vote Dem for the first time ever in November and believe me thats a very difficult thing to do then he will be able to fix his relationship with HRC supporters and heal the wounds and win as long as you stop your BS. i wish you publish so HRC supporters can read and maybe all can come together for the good of the country and not the parties or the individuals.

i think Hillary is now totally losing any credibility she may have had. did she forget that small states don't count? oh wait, now all states count? did she forget that she agreed to not include FL and MI or wait, maybe she didn't know what she was agreeing to. if that's the case then do i want her answering the phone at 3 AM? only if it's Monica calling to set up a date with Bill–but not for any other reason. she's beyond delusional now. the playing field has changed many times because she keeps changing the rules and inventing new ones. but yet her uneducated hardworking white people still go for her. they'll believe anything she says and that's the scary part of the whole thing.

Just wait until your empty suit NoBama gets swifted. It will be like a deer in headlights. How do you liberals live with yourselves? I have more respect for Al-Qaida, you are such pathetic excuses for human-beings!

The media is lying about more of Clinton's supporters are no going to vote for Obama because there are more of Obama's supporters who reject the Clintons and many won't vote for her for the things she and Bill have said about race. So there are two kinds of voters for Obama that won't vote for Clinton. And by the way, why are we talking about Clinton anyway - SHE IS OVER!

Did Clinton win WV? Oh no! What a joke, Obama had a similar margin in IL, HI, Georgia…, but he didn't brag about it.

Both Dems know that he primaries are the real contest and even a blind opposum with a facial tick can beat Grandpa Simpson in the generals.

Who the hell cares about backwards WV? Those people are the epitome of racism. I watch one white woman being interviewed saying that she would never vote for a black man…just because he's black. Those were her exact words. Now thats real sad. Change is definately needed in this country and only Barack can bring about real change.

OBAMA 08′/12′

Whether or not Obama can beat McCain seems to change like the wind depending on the date of the poll and who is being polled. There is still a rift in the democratic party that may not be healed by the general election in November. I know Obama is campainging in my home state of Michigan today but I still feel that its too little too late for him with respect to my support. I need someone who understands what my state is going through economically and who isn't only interested in campaigning or speaking with our citizens if it benefits him in the vote count. If Obama is the nominee, this might be the first election since I could vote that I leave the spot for president left blank. Frankly, if the choice were Obama or McCain, neither of them leave me dazzled or for that matter motivated to go out and vote.

Obama and HRC are two strong candidates and they both would beat John McCain. That's why our nominee should come down to whomever won the majority of elected pledge delegate votes over the course of the nomination process!!

If it's Obama, then he should be the nominee and all of HRC's supporters should support him!!

You lost my comment. McCain will be hard to beat, whoever runs against him. Note that another poll yesterday said that 20% of Democrats will vote for McCain if their candidate is not the nominee. Hillary has a better chance of beating him because the carried the big "blue" states that traditionally go Democratic, plus the "swing" states and California - which will be a tough one with Schwartzeneggar at the helm.

Has Hillary not looked at the numbers? And, what exactly did Hillary cruch of Obama's?

I don't understand how she continues to state she is the stronger candidate…in states where Obama is not on the ballet maybe…but, so what about WV???…since when does it come down to WV being the deciding factor or the voice of voters washing away all the other voters in this country?

Do the math Hillary….it does NOT support your position. Keep it up and New York may not want you back either……By the way….how much has CNN contributed to Hillary's campaign fund????

I think Clinton realizes that her chances to be the nomination are impossible, so I have to wonder why she continues to rally her supporters. Perhaps it's to keep them energized so that she she can sway them to switch to Obama. Or perhaps it's to leverage the VP slot. Or maybe it's to keep raising money to pay off her debt. Either way, she continues to take money from the hard-working nurses, truck-drivers, waitresses, single mothers, etc that she referenced in her speech last night by duping them into thinking she still has a chance. I think that's wrong.

Um… duh?!? Clinton wins the same map Gore did, and unless Charlie Crist is on the ticket, she almost certainly brings in Florida.

Meanwhile, Obama redraws the electoral map in a way that hasn't been done since the 1840s. Ohio and Pennsylvania may be out, but he puts the Carolinas, Virginia, Colorado, Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, Kansas, and Louisiana in play. The South is especially pertinent now that Bob Barr is running.

There's simply no way McCain can win this election!

All of you that keep saying Obama has the nomination are quite mislead. 2,025 gets you the nomination, I don't see him there yet and nor will he be without the superdelegates, just like Hillary.

So if over 91% of blacks vote for Obama and not Clinton, should I call them racist? You people need to just shut up sometimes. Nearly 50% of the votes in this primary went to Clinton. If 30% of those votes defected to McCain, then McCain will win period. You Obama supporters are always talking about math, well check out those numbers. The way that Hillary was pushed out by the sexist media has caused us to want to either stay home or vote for McCain. Good luck to your black candidate.

It's not just that McCain is too old, his IDEAS are too old. Both he and Hillary think in terms of the past.

That's not always a bad thing. But consider: Hillary's past experience involves a failed health insurance policy, and more scandals than you can count.

McCain's past experienct involves his embracing most of Bush's policies, which we all agree, SUCK!

In contrast, Barack Obama has little experience, good or bad. He's the unknown quantity. He could be a great president, or he could suck worse than Bush, or anywhere in between. My guess is that he will be better than Bush, but not as good as Bill Clinton. But there will be fewer scandals and lies.

We know Hillary very well, and we STILL don't like her. So why do we vote for her? Because we know her.

We know McCain very well, and we like him, but we don't like his policies.

We don't know much about Obama, and that's what scares us. It forces us to make things up, to let our imaginations run away with us. It's called "fear of the unknown." And fear of the unknown is almost irrational. It's a phobia.

I say, give the new guy a chance. He can't be any worse than Bush. And he's more honest than either Bill or Hillary.

This poll tells me one major thing - White peole will vote for Sen. Obama. Oh my! Thanks America - because we can look beyond race and choose Obama for president. Here that CNN - not everyone votes by race.

Obama or McCain '08

> Obama will not win a general election, whether right or wrong, he is
> perceived as an out of touch liberal, just like Mondale and Dukakis.

And Bill Clinton was perceived as a dufus Southerner who was going to get clocked by G.H.W. Bush. Remember when Bush Sr. said that his foreign policies will be based on discussions with world leaders while all Clinton could do was consult Boy George? How did that work out?

Although, for whatever reason, Sen. McCain became the "shoe-in" nominee for the Republican Party, I do not believe he can win the Presidetial Election. As an avid watcher of this political process, Sen. McCain, apparently, does not feel it necessary to address the issues facing this nation and following, what actions he would take on behalf of the county (other than stating we would maintain a presence in Iraq). He appears rather apathetic in HIS "road to the Presidency."

If the DNC primary rules were like the GOP, Clinton would already be the candidate, since, just like the general election, the winner takes are in the primary. This is an interesting situation. Since the democrats have such a poor record of winning the white house, leads one to conclude that the GOP candidate selection method is the most accurate in picking a winner. It seems to me that an Obama run is doomed from the start, since he hardly carried any of the states that are rich in electoral votes, and that are so critical to success in the GE.

Well duh,

America has been under Republican control for a long time now. They have had control of both congress and the presidency. The republicans have been marching in lock step policy wise, no matter how bad the policy. And they have run the country in to the ground.

The reason why you have seen so much participation in the Democratic party is because America is tired of ignorant, neglectful, short sighted republican policy. America is tired of anit-intellectualism. We are tired of people trying to rule us with fear. And that is what they are all about. That's how Republicans roll from what I have seen

It is time to take our country back. It is time to restore America to its rightful place as the most Loved and respected country, THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!

And now we as American citizens look to the Democratic party to take us there.

I hope we never make the mistake of putting the Republicans back in control of everything again

This poll is not figuring in that democrats will cross over and vote republican if their candidate isn't the nominee.

Rick in Florida May 14th, 2008 9:44 am ET

So Hillary won 67% of the vote…..BIG DEAL. Has everyone forgotten that Barack has won FIVE primaries with 74% (or more) of the vote, and in mostly WHITE states?? Recap: WashingtonDC 75%, Kansas 74%, Hawaii 76%, Alaska 75%, and Idaho 79%. GIMME A BREAK
with all this hype because she won with 67% in WVa. Spin, Hillary.
======

Idaho is RED STATE, Alaska RED STATE, Mississippi RED STATE, South Carolina RED STATE, North Carolina RED STATE, Georgia RED STATE, Alabama RED STATE.

Let me tell ya dude, them white folks down south outnumbered my people, they always vote Republicans since the Civl Rights Act was signed by Lyndon B. Johnson. Idaho was caucus, only 20,000 joined their caucus. BTW, do you know Coer D' Alene, Idaho? If ya don't, HQ of ARYAN NATION is located there. Idaho is RED state, keep on dreamin'

We will come together in the fall and put a democrat in the White House. The bottom line is that both Obama and Hillary's policies will bring this country out of the hole The Bush Boys have dug for us. Once this primary process is over all eyes will turn to the mess that has been made and it is time for a change.

I am fine with the primaries continuing to the end as long as there is no bashing of our future nominee. Every state should be heard. But watch out McCain, this is the future of the country we are talking about. It is our time not yours.

Oh good we don't even need an election, we have a Quinnipiac University poll!

Polls suck. All they do is give a bunch of losers hope.

McCain if not Clinton

Obama doesn't stand a chance against Mcain….I wonder how the Super Delegates will sleep at night if they let this novice of a senator become the Nominee. I shudder to think of the future with Mcain at the helm but thats what will happen if Hillary Clinton is not the nominee.

I was pretty mad this morning when I heard the news. Then I got really mad when I saw most of these posts. Alot of people are saying that if this candiate does not get the nom then I am going to vote for the repugs! This just won't happen. When we finally get a nom, we will unite. The reason we havent yet is there are two very good canidates running and at some point this year we will be down to one. All I can say is that if you think the course of this country is going just fine, then go ahead and vote that way. I dont want you in my party because you have no idea what is means to be a democrat. But if you think there is a better way to run things, then vote DEMOCRAT. This is the only way we will change course in this country.

So I DO NOT beleive most of these poster anyway. They are just whining that their queen did not get the nom.

Democrats need to come together no matter if Clinton or Obama are the Democratic nominee!!! McCain would only continue the old politics of Bush, and America needs a HUGE clean-up and a TRANSPARENT and HONEST government.

Democrat '08

Wake up Sheep of the USA! CNN uses polls to try to influence your behavior even stooping so low as to quote a Quinnipiac University Poll. I looked up the poll. No total number of participants or p value or any other statistical indicator of significance is listed. Who has heard of this polling institute. Polling personel can make a poll turn out how ever they wish. I have been called once in my life (probably because I am working long hrs) and they heard my white educated male voice so continued to ask me qualifying questions until they found out I hadn't lived in my new home more than 1 year so they disqualified me. Obama and Clinton both want to take from achievers and give to nonachievers and this results in downfall of economy. Check Myanmar history since 1948 and you will see a prime example of how the welfare state wrecks everyone's lives except a handful in charge at the top.

The longer Hillary stays in the race, the larger the divide will be. It is time for her to exit and start working with Obama to seal the deal. It is not Obama's fault that Hillary ran an awful campaign and focused on large states. It is not his fault that she is in debt. She should concede and work to bring the party together. The longer she stays in, the more it becomes about her and not for the good of the party. I am hoping the superdelegates put an end to this nonsense.

Howard Dean needs to grow a pair and tell the American Democrats how a nominee is selected. It's not "momentum"; it's not "popular votes"; it's not "electoral votes"; it's DELEGATE COUNT!! Period. What a spineless moron. He's going to humor Hillary Clinton until the party is damaged beyond repair.

But, I will say that I am glad that the rest of the US (white America) get to see how incredibly difficult it is for a black man to get a fair shake. HRC called on the racist white voters and they are responding. Obama is winning the black vote, but I don't recall him ever saying that "black people want me". Maybe, they vote for him because he's a better person??

Maybe, it's time for black voters to start considering moving to the republican party. At least there would be no illusion of equal opportunity. Democrats can thank HRC's dirty tactics, DNC lack of courage to enforce the rules, and super-D's lack of courage to cast a vote. CONGRATULATIONS, idiots, you're ripping the party apart!

Either will win — unless Clinton sets off Armageddon in the Democratic Party because of her selfishness.

I think that it is time that the Obamafanatics should take a que from Obama himself. This thing is going until June, so those who want to tell Hillary what to do, I ask - what have you done that you can talk about other than spew your hate filled words on news web site? Don't you have something other to do than to hate people? SAD for those who say they want HOPE and CHANGE. Sounds like they are a little bitter. SAD

I'm a REAL democrat and will support whoever our nominee is. Zero respect to you dems that would vote for McCain if your candidate doesn't get it.

Hey y'all … did anybody notice the "crackhead" that the Clinton campaign planted behind the podium to depict the most negative image of African Americans imaginable.

I would bet everything that fellow is not even a registered voter. I am certain that he was given some meager amount of cash to stand back there, hoop and holler on cue, and look like a clown. Sadly, I think they can say: "mission accomplished!"

It will surely be an interesting race considering the combination of people not favoring Bush's presidential term and Obama, but I guess McCain chances are been brightened a lot by Hillary as she continues to push democratic party to the limits, I think she is thinking far ahead she also like many pundits thing Obama can't win the election and with her polarizing her supporters off him his chances will be harder, which will give her lot better chance 4 years from now

Who are they polling and where???

LMAO Obama wouldn't beat his own dog!!

If not Hillary…then McCain'

WRITE IN HILLARY!!

She is like the filly in the Kentucky Derby, she had good strides, but coming to the wire, she was second and had to be sacrificed. Moral, no matter how fast you can run, there is always a stronger runner that takes the lead. My case in point, since the begining of this contest, Hillary appeared to be the runoff candidate, and she miscalculated, she thought the race was over before it started, how wrong she was. By thinking she had the pan by the handle, thought that everyone had to bow to her, Queen like, oh boy!! She not only misread the peoples minds, she misthought, that in the USA, is not, repeat, is not a Monarchy, where the heirs of the throne are the family members. Grave mistake, we are a Democracy, where the leaders are chosen from the people, by the people and for the people. Don't you forgert it. The Bush, Clinton, dynasty is over. I look foward to the American people not to forget this as well. There are people wirh great ideas, vision and imagination to take this country forward with a better purpose for the american people and the rest of the world. Great men and women have come from the humblest of homes, see the history and be awared. Have a nice day

Has Obama actually won any states with large electoral votes, outside of Illinois and Missouri? I don't think DC, Hawaii, etc are going to put him over the top in a general election!

Obama supporters need to stop the bragging and Clinton supporters need to stop the whining and crying. Clinton has run a tough race but she has lost the nomination fair and square. And for her supporters to say they won't vote for Obama is a crying shame. Hillary, you set the tone of your campaign and it is about time you talk straight to your supporters. You can' t win with out tearing the party apart and handing the general to McCain. You know that and it is about time you tell your supporters the truth. You have been a loyal Dem all your life, don't turn your back on us now. We count as much as your supporters.

Great news that Obama recieved more Super delegates today even after his defeat in WV. It was obvious that Hil was going to win in WV! It's sad that some American's still can not look past the color of a person's skin and vote for the right person. I am glad that either dem canidate can beat McCain ! I pray that it's Barack Obama all the way to the "White House" !
Obama 2008

I hope that CNN polls and Hillary's train job doesn't divide the Democratic party too bad. Based on media coverage and Hillary and her camp trying to make her look electable and negative campaigning, it has caused more to vote along racial and gender lines. When CNN shows polls how Barrack gets over 90% of the black vote or how Hillary gets the uneducated, older votes it causes a big divide. I mean since Hillary has all of a sudden claimed to be the supporter of hardworking white America, her supporters are looked at as being mostly white, old and dumb while Barrack's followers are either black or elite Starbucks type whites. All their votes count the SAME, no matter what anybody says! It has given Republicans and racist types the fuel they need to split the party and the country. Americans should be better and smarter than that. Barrack is doing the right thing in not responding to racial overtones but when his supporters, black or white does then it creates a divide. All I can say is to ignore the ignorant when they respond in blogs and don't give their respones the time of day and focus on the issues and reasonable arguments.

It's simple, if you come in here and say you will vote for McCain if Hillary loses, you're either a republican troll, or a racist.

I'm voting democratic no matter who the candidate is. Even if someone pulls a King Ralph and Gravell is the nominee.

To answer the question of why Clinton supporters would back McCain over Obama when Clinton and Obama have the same beliefs, you fail to take into consideration the moderates in the party. Not everyone is in favor of allowing partial birth abortion (Obama favors legislation allowing partial birth abortion), not everyone is in favor of federal legislation banning concealed weapons (Obama favors federal legislation banning concealed weapons), not everyone thinks that Obama is qualified on the issue of homeland security (Obama has said he would invade Pakistan with or without consent of that country's government to clear out al-Queda), not everyone supports a man who says he is for a better national health care system but is then proud of his wife who serves as the director of a hospital that has been repeatedly fined for patient dumping and has documented cases of charging uninsured poor patients more for health care than insured patients (Obama's wife works for such a hospital), not everyone thinks that the best candidate is the one who promises the most to everyone without spelling out how to pay for those promises, and not everyone thinks that an untried, untested and really an inexperienced senator is the best person to handle this country give the current global state of affairs.

I hope that answers you questions.

STOP SAYING THAT OBAMA BLOCKED MI & FL. YOU ALL LISTEN TO THAT WINBAG LANNY DAVIS TOO MUCH. FIRST FL SCRAPED THEIR REVOTE PLANS ALL BY THEMSELVES. SECOND, THE REVOTE PROPOSAL THAT THE CLINTON'S WERE PUSHING WAS ON THAT HEAVILY FAVORED THEM SO OF COURSE OBAMA WOULD NOT SIGN OFF ON IT. IF YOU WOULD READ YOU WOULD FIND OUT THAT THAT REVOTE ATTEMPT DISINFRANCISEDD VPTERS WHO SAID 'WELL, SINCE OR VOTE WONT COUN ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, I'M GOING TO VOTE ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET." GIVE IT A REST. READ AD STOP GETTING YOUR FACTS FROM LANNY DAVIS AND HOWARD WOLFSON.

I have been an avid viewer of CNN for over 20years, but I am greatly disappointed that CNN is clearly biased in this race, FOX obviously is for McCain nonstop, I expected CNN to be more objective however, the bias reporting is evident. I came from outside of the US and I viewed CNNI and BBC for objective reporting, however, CNN is clearly same as FOX, very biased using choice words to describe charade, yes Clinton won WV, as if we don't know, where does crush come into play. Why didn't you use crush in Colorado, Mississippi, Illinois, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and Minnesota where Obama won by over 60%, and remember these were primaries not caucuses. Anyway, CNN has definately disppointed me. Congratulation to HRC for winning WV, however, it is high Dems come together and forge one front so that they (i'm Independent) can crush (?) RNC come November. My message to HRC, you ran a good race unfortunately Obama ran a better strategic race and that is why he is winning. I don't think I will mind Obama/Clinton ticket, but lets wait and see. However, Obama is going to win, Clinton will end up a close second.

You Obamanuts are about as radical as your nutty leader!!

Evil Obama and Godzilla his wife will never make it to the White House!!

Just wait for McCain to bring Rice into the stage, and then you'll see the so-called advantage of HC or BO vanish before your eyes…

Hillary will beat any GOP candidate.

BO gets ZERO support from women who are the majority.

BO can not and will not win the GE, there will be other choices and we will choose one of them!

the people of WV voted for an inept candidate that has NO chance of winning the nomination, (unless she steals it)

are you people ignorant, or just plain racist? you obviously have little to no sense.

If you don't grow a brain soon, you will put the inept Mccain in office, which I am sure that is your goal. Our troops are in harm's way, getting injured and killed each and every day and you would continue to let that happen because Hillary the witch cannot get elected. how completely idiotic.

Has anyone ever heard of this poll?

Is there something that Hillary supporters don't understand? it's over, go back to school and have your teacher go over the math with you. Hillary could win all the remaining states by 80% and still lose.
tale Bill's hand Hillary and walk into the sunset, be graceful and don't make people go to the poll's and waste their time anylonger. Hillary wan't every American to vote, but at this point she will make American's take time off of work, lose a couple hours of salary to vote for something that will not count anyway…does that make sense?
HILLARY, GO HOME. IT'S OVER! STOP WASTING PEOPLE'S TIME

Sen Hillary Clinton if and when she is not the nominee will have to be part of the Obama Presidency as Health and Social Services Minister.

She is great for our health, children, senior citizens and women's issues. We really need her in any administration.

Of course I would prefer her to be president.

If Hillary is a more electable candidate, why can's she close the deal?

lol, you are 100% correct!!!

Oh Wow, I though Hilliary was the only one that could win the general election. Looks like the Hilliary supports are wrong about something else. Good job last night Hilliary your still 150+ delegates behind. Please tell me how Obama is out of touch when Hilliary is he one lending herself money to prop her ego up. Why can’t she raise money?? Hilliary is the one out of touch and the true elitist.

Indeed Quinnipiac University is known for their polls !

polls are crap most republicans don't participate in these polls. just like most people posting here are dems.

This is why I hate the media, they are making sound like a horse race, but it is not, Clinton is in deep debt, she needs to win 80% of the delegates in the remaining contests, and 80% of the total Superdelegates to catch up with Obama, no way she is going be able to do that with no money and against a strong candidate like Obama. She is dividing the party more and more every day. Enough!

The conversative party is going down in '08. It's hard to believe Pres. Bush already has sent this country to hell in a hand basket. McCain is only Bush part 3.

The only thing Obama has united is the black vote. While you idealistic liberals no longer see color, blacky does! Beware of what you think is in your best interests.

SUPER DELEGATES YOU ARE NOT MAKING US, THE AMERICAN CITIZENS, UNHAPPY BY DELIBERATELY PERMITTING THE DRIP, DRIP, DRIP OF DELEGATES TO COME OUT BEFORE THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER….

THERE WILL BE A HUGE BACKLASH, WHEN YOU LAUGH AT THE CITIZENRY, BY FLAUNTING INTO THEIR FACE, THAT YOU (SUPER DELEGATES) HAVE THE LAST VOTE. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 50 STATE PRIMARY ELECTION…

I SUGGEST YOU (SUPER DELEGATES) PROCEED VERY GENTLY BEFORE YOU DESTROY YOUR OWN PARTY WITH YOUR SHOW OF ARROGANCE AGAINST US, THE AMERICAN CITIZENS

These polls are nation wide straw polls I think. If so they don't mean much and can divert Democrats from the real issue of how we're doing. Presidents are picked by Electoral College votes and we need to know how those votes are leaning for a general election to know how anyone's current chances for November victory. That takes real work, deeper thought and real analysis to know. Is anyone able to remember 2000/

Obama has beated Hillary SEVENTEEN TIMES with a margin of victory of TWENTY POINTS OR MORE (and in Idaho it was 79%-17%) so lets put this West Va contest into proper perspective, OK??? She will SPIN this as usual, but he has TROUNCED her over and over, and the media shouldn't ignore this fact.

This is great news and a sign that Democrats will unite behind either Democratic candidate. We need to continue to show respect to Clinton, Obama and all of their supporters - we need everyone to secure a victory in November. Don't fall for those wishing to drive a wedge between our party with these fake postings. It is primarily the Republicans, posing as Democrats, being critical of Obama, Clinton and their supporters. Stay united.

"United we stand! Divided we fall!" We have two strong candidates and they have strengths in different areas…No one can appeal to everyone, so it's not surprising that Sen Obama has people who like him better and the same applies to Sen Clinton. Let's not look at those differences as a rift but see instead a united Dem party as a whole with qualified Candidates/Surrogates covering all the issues of the American people. Moving forward a prosperous and peaceful country. Like Martin L. King said "I have a dream….."

Barack will NOT win a general election, but Barack might be an option if [and only if] Edwards is the VP candidate.

Obama picks up 4 new superdelegates on Wednesday after Hillary's win in West VA.

Clinton is no longer politically viable. After all the past "race-baiting" that's come from the Clinton campaign as well as her supporters, she has marginalized and inflamed the African-American vote to the extent that she can no longer rely on their support in the general election. In addition, her mere presence in the general election will certainly rally to action the radical right who would otherwise sit out this election in disdain for McCain since they clearly don't support him. In addition, after supporting NAFTA, consistently voting for every war-related expenditure bill and voting in favor of the war, how can Clinton she reasonable say that she is a better choice that McCain for president.

Being a college-educated African-American male, there no way I can in good conscience vote for her in a general election. I would absolutely sit it out. Not considering Obama, there really is no difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. Anyone who doesn't realize that is an ideologue and blind to reality.

Some may disagree but I think Obama doesn't needs Clinton to be on the ticket. She represents an "old politics". I think Kathleen Sebilus (Gov. Kansas) would make a great VP for Obama

Obama/Seblius '08 !! ! ! ! !

Republicans are on the run. They are in trouble and they know it AND they deserve to lose in November. The people will speak. The special election in Mississippi went to a Democrat as did the one in Illinois.
The state this country is currently in is a result of this Supreme Court appointed President and his policies and all of the Republican cheerleaders who backed him. This President will be the worst the U.S. has ever had. We certainly do not need a character like this Mr. flip flop McCain to be President. He is dishonest and out of touch with realty.

Polls have been off the wall wrong this primary season. It will either be Hillary in '08 or McCain in '08 and Hillary in '12. Take your pick folks. A junior senator from IL with less than 2 years exp in DC and ZERO national or international experience will NEVER be elected this Fall - NEVER

Yes, either candidate will be McCain. That is why Sen. Clinton's electiblity argument is misleading and downright wrong. The win in WV does not change Sen. Obama's position. The media feeds on sensationalism, so of course they are saying, "What does this mean to the Obama campaign?" today. It means the same thing it meant yesterday when they said the predicted landslide win would not mean much!

I've been saying it for weeks now. Sen. Clinton is no fool. She is in this now because she wants the VP spot on the ticket. She knows the math is against her. (She's wishing on a star for some big scandal/fall for Sen. Obama, but also knows that's not likely.) She has no desire to go back to the Senate; she's made some enemies there during this campaign. She wants back in the White House however she can get it.

I'm so sick of clinton fans saying they will vote for Mccain, honestly I think the best thing would be for her to run as an independent, and for him to run as an independent. She could have her selfish childish crybabies who say they'd rather vote for Obama while Obama take's the educated people who arn't acting like this is a preschool contest, "oh if he wins I'm voting for Mccain, waaa"

Bunch of crybabies! I'm so sick of it it disgusts me. It's no wonder the polls show most of Obama supporters having a 4 years plus college degree.

WVA doesn't speak for me, sorry…..Hillary is just being completely selfish right now, she's really putting a rift in the Party….

OBAMA '08

West Virginia is the trailer trash capital of the world. They are the most uneducated and uncivilized state in the country. If you disagree name another state that is more uneducated. West Virginia, you've had your say. Now we move on to more civilized and educated states that are more in line with the rest of the country.

TO bad, delegates,and superdelegates run the SHOW! so everyone after north Carolina, is just a waste of time!!! WASTE! hey maybe if mccain, and Obama, just go on with the campaign and ignore her she will go away on her own. COME ON CNN, WORK WITH US, DONT COVER ANYMORE ON CLINTON, AND SHE'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DISAPPEAR OUT THE RACE!

Let me say that Hillary voters seem to have become the invisble majority.While we vote, scream,blog,donate the DNC seems to speak above us, or without meeting our eyes. They won't believe that we are serious about not voting as Dems if Michigan and Florida are not seated properly with the votes of those states counting,nor will they hear that BO does NOT meet our needs as a President and therefore will NOT get our vote. If they stopped dismissively waving their hands and sticking fingers in their ears they might hear our message. BOO cannot be elected without us….women,seniors,lunchbucket dems,. Ignoring us bodes poorly for the Democrats and Dr. Dean. Even Hillary stumping for BO can't change my mind, or most of the voters I know. I am college educated, professional white woman, and a lifelong dem. We may be invisible to you now, but sadly again, the dems will not honor half of this country,they will not see us, they think they can speak above us, as parent to parent ignoring the little kids in the back seat. Guess what? We don't like being invisible and each and every one of us has a vote that will be considered and given, by write in if necessary, or by design if he distances himself from Bush.
We are roaring…why can't you hear us?why do you ignore half the democratic party?

Democrat,

Right on!!!!!!!! Forget about the stupid polls. Saying and Doing is totally different. Talk is sooooooooooooooo cheap!

Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst
Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst
Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst

Okay, now, can anyone tell me what happened to the Clinton win in WV?

Do you folks realize that according to the Bill and Hillary supporters, Barack actually won last night? Of course he did! Hillary was supposed to win by 80-20 and even 90-10!!!!!!!! Whatever happened to these gigantic margins, I think it ended up being 67-23?????????

Barack is now pulling ahead of Hillary in the General Election! (+2%,of course this is only according to the polls) Where does that leave the Clinton Camp's argument that she is more electable???????

with the electoral map vote… HILLARY IS WINNING.. OBAMA is NOT!!!!
REMEMBER 2000!!! YOU CAN WIN THE POPULAR VOTE AND STILL LOOSE!!!!!!!!!
WAKE UP!!!!!

CLINTON/OBAMA '08

exit polls at a democrat primary. very reliable. the party says so.

I call BULL!!! Your so called "polls" have been totally inconsistent and often DEAD WRONG! Don't fool yourselves into thinking Obama can beat McCain. He's can't and he won't. Clinton had a chance to beat him, but you Dems are so blind you can't see that.

MCCAIN 2008!

whoops…I meant who would rather vote for Mccain than Obama.

Crybabies…

Obama will, barring some surprise, will receive the nomination. Vocal supporters on both sides who are spewing insults back and forth need to move past this and focus on unifying the party. Obama supporters who are insulting of Senator Clinton only inflame and alienate her supporters further. Clinton supporters who threaten to vote for McCain hopefully are only venting out of frustration and will not ultimately do so. To vote for McCain only guarantees another 4 years of Bush like hell. For the female supporters of Senator Clinton I would encourage you to review McCain's recent remarks about Supreme Court justices and consider the implications that would have on the issue of Roe vs Wade. Hopefully we can all start to come together with a unified front to help elect a democrat as president. God help us if we don't.

This is great news! So what if Clinton won WV by a wide margin?Obama wan NC by a wide margin. You cannot expect Obama (and certainly not Clinton) to win each and every state. Each will have ther "pockets" of support. As most everyone (that has at least a modicum of intelligence) already knows, Obama is leading Clinton in every legitimate catagory. Hillary is definitely capable of being President. BUT, she has shown that her integity and honesty is not high enough to warrant being elected as President — we simply do not trust her.

I'm not a liberal or a conservative. I have not decided how I will vote. I like Obama as a person, I am just concerned about his lack of experience and whether he will swing too far to the left. Clinton has more experience and appears a bit more moderate but she also seems to lack a basic sense of integrity. McCain is very experienced and has proven he's a man of great integrity. My concern is he appears to be beholden to the right wing of the Republican party that has gotten the country into much of the mess we're in today. Without calling me or the other candidate names, why should I support your candidate?

For all those Clinton supporters who are glorifying Clinton's win in West Viriginia. Remember this, 52% of the WV democrats will vote for Obama over McCain.

Why are Obama supporters so set that he will win in November?

First, we have no idea who they polled and what questions were asked, and how big the sample set was, so I don't by this poll.

Second, there are many pivotal states where people who voted for Hillary would prefer McCain over Obama. Call it what you will, and believe what you will, but look at electoral fact. Should Obama get the nominee, he will be the next Dukakis….

Polls in Oregon this morning show Obama up about 20 points over Hillary. How will she spin this? We may not be a 'pivotal' state, but we vote and we vote with sense, rather than prejudice. Man, woman, white, black. Who cares. We look at the ISSUES, and vote our conscience.

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

All of these polls are laughable.

Nothing will shake out until the two final candidates stand next to each other and debate.

You dream, dems…

Once you put either Obama or Hilliary next to McCain in a debate America will see the old fuddy duddy for what he truly is. An old bitter war torn man that wants to send our children into harms way for his own glory.

ALL DEMOCRATES PLEASE READ:

If your going to vote for McCain I think you should take a trip and visit the wounded soldiers coming home from this war. Or go look a mother who lost her child in the eyes and tell her you sent her kid to war because of your selfish ego.

Democrate '08

of course they can both beat mccain.but,hillary can't beat obama.time to join arms,and take these repubs out ,for good.

The lies you told, the secrets you keep. Barack ain't gettin' 270 EV in Nov. At the end, the only number that matters is 270, leave it to the democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…once again. It's all about the electoral college, stupid. When would you (finally) learn the lessons from the '00 & '04 presidential elections? (rhetorical q' of course)…

In reading many comments regarding experience vs nonexperience, I for one see nonexperience as the required incredient for fixing Washington. The nonexperienced person can be shaped in such away as not to be battled with politics as usual. New fresh ideas will come into play, which brings about real change. The experienced person on the other hand plays the political game the same way, getting the old results, for the same old people. Its time for generation x to be involved in politics. The baby boomers had their time, its time for change. Even though the politics of America are complex, i do believe that the nonexperience have a better solution.

Chris Matthews said it best last night. The pundits and cable news do not want this thing to end. They love the fight between Clinton and Obama. Therefore they are doing what they can to keep the race alive. Praise Hillary as much as possible and make digs on Obama in hopes this primary fight continues as long as possible for them to keep their ratings up. Once this primary race is over and Hillary finally drops out their ratings will drop. They are doing all they can to keep it going.

Sorry, I don't think Obama can pull it off in the fall.

I have to say this is really funny. Of course he didn't win a county in WV. It only has a 4% AA community. The funny thing is…..people are voting for Obama just to prove to the AA's that this country isn't racist. It's not that he has what it takes to be President. All these Kool-Aid drinking Obama fans are just trying to make a statement. Like Lemmings they follow the one that makes the most noise.

I haven't heard of one thing that shows he is ready to lead from day one. Jr. Senator is all he is….nothing more. Not the leader you all want him to be. Great speaker with nothing to back up the talk.

I hope that people will see this and do the right thing in Nov. I would hate to see McCain in office but if it comes to him or Obama. McCain is the man.

So, BG, while you claim Clinton is more tested, it might be important to consider that her already being tested didn't make her win the nomination. And yet, the "untested" Obama did.

It is disingenuous of the Clinton campaign to equate what happens in primaries with what happens in general elections.

The primaries are tools to guide the party selection of a candidate. That is all. This is why some states are 'closed' and only allow party members to participate.

The general election is much broader, and includes voters who are independant, and those who cross party lines. Polls including those voters show Obama beating McCain handily in a general match-up.

The superdelegates are, in general, very bright, and know this. That is why they are not being taken in by Sen Clinton's weak arguments.

This Election is over John Mccain is getting nervous because he know he has no chance against Barack Obama

Last night clearly shows that the voters do not think that Obama has the nomination wrapped up. What a thumping! Where is his momentum now? Hillary has what it takes to take back the whitehouse and superdelegates should proceed with caution. If Obama is so inevitable, why can't he win the swing states! This democrat is convinced that Hillary is the one to beat McCain in November. All the way to victory Hillary '08. Do not give up!

I don't understand why the super delegates continue to throw away the chance for the Democrats to win in November. I think the really smart ones are at least going to wait until the final primary.

Hillary is quoted in November 2007 as saying "of course we all know that Michigan will not count." What is she saying now?

"According to a new Quinnipiac University poll." Since when does a poll administered by a second-rate university get such attention. This poll's a shame, just look at the exit polling from West Virginia. When Obama wins the nomination, most of Clinton's supports will move to McCain and the general election will be his.

These are the same polls that had Bush losing twice. But a closer look at the electorial votes gives you a much better view of political reality..

If Hillary Clinton does not win the democratic nomination, I'm becoming a republican and voting for John McCain.

I absolutely DESPISE Obama. He is unqualified to be the President and I would never vote for him.

They said on CNN last night that 81% of Hillary supporters would vote for Obama, from a recent poll. It seems that the supporters who won't are few and far between. Plus Obama beats McCain solidly with independents, and Hillary loses to McCain with independents. We all know that independents make or break the election, since they are about 20% of the country and can go either way.

Obviously people who care enough to blog on these sites have a pretty strong interest, but frankly I think the rest of the country just wants to avoid GW Bush III, and I'm not worried about the Dems' prospects in November.

Stop worrying everyone - the Dems will be united and everything will be ok.

Let's face it. Anyone accept another Republican!! Obama and Clinton ran a competitive race. Obama has won and Clinton supporters will get over it with time - especially as November draws near.
