Obama will WIN by about 10%.

Hilary is HISTORY...

In my opinion Hillary has eliminated herself by her behavoir during the campaign. She has been for things in the beginning, then against them 2 months later, she has OUTRIGHT LIED, she has implied Obama is an elitist when SHE KNOWS he is not, she POINT BLANK said while herself and McCain bring experience, Obama only brings a SPEECH!! She then propose the GAS TAX HOLIDAY...knowing it was more harmful that helpful!!

And the sad thing is I THOUGHT she was BETTER THAN THIS!!

Hillary is an OLD-SCHOOL, CRASH and BURN Liar Politician. She is the Past, Obama is the FUTURE.

AMERICA needs a fresh start..this can not include Hillary!!

...why is it that any poll taken by cnn or nbc seems to always show either demowaco Blah Blah or Billary being able to defeat McCain? Other polls that I have seen or read seem to state otherwise. Hey, here's a suggestion, why don't the two of these characters draw straws or something, and the loser stays with the democrats and the other goes off to form their own party and...and...wellll...it could happen...!!!

The only state that HRC is winning is the state of denial.

No way will she be VP – Obama wouldn't even make the inauguration before he had an "accident"

Time to get out of the way – Hillary is irrelevant.

I think that the three most far left liberal areas of the country (East coast, West coast, and Chicago) have stars in their eyes if they believe that the moderate doemocrats will be voting for Barak Obama in the fall. I personally see Hillary Clinton as a more moderate democrat, and could not change my vote to someone that has chosen to surround himself with crazy pastors for twenty years, and also taken full advantage of the far, far left liberal "educated" professors and former terrorists, having in his own words, "chosen his friends carefully". Typical politician, in the very worst way, especially since he is running on the platform of being different. I will be writing in Hillary in the fall if the superdelgates cannot read an electoral college map.

What a waste of a poll. McCain already beat himself by being born in Panama. Even if he won the election, he would never be allowed to take the oath, unless of course the Supreme Court rules that non-natural-born-citizen military officers with stays of over 30 days in the Hanoi Hilton Garden Inn are immune from the rules of the Constitution. Heck, not even the State Dept. considers McCain a natural-born citizen!

"This poll is not figuring in that democrats will cross over and vote republican if their candidate isn't the nominee." Umm, YES, it is. This is a general election poll, meaning they are polling people regardless of party affiliation. Which either means that most of those "I won't vote for Obama" Hillary supporters are full of sh**, or it means that Obama has enough support even without those voters to beat McCain. Either way, this DOES factor the supposedly "bitter crossovers" into the final numbers. And the final numbers say OBAMA BEATS MCCAIN. Deal with it.

People are saying some older hardworking non educated whites will not vote for Obama in the General Election. The funny thing is the hard working non-educated/educated black people, since the beginning of time had to the vote for the less of two evils and always supported the democratic Nominee no matter how bad we thought he was (anything was better than a republican in office). Now that we have the presumptive Nominee (Obama) and because you may or may not like him because race or whatever the case maybe; will decide not to vote or vote for McCain. Well my comment to you is: when YOU put McCain into office, I don't want to hear once complaint about the gas prices are continuing to rise, health care is to expensive, the war that is still going on in Iraq, the education system is mess, college is too expensive. YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE BY THE DECESION YOU MADE!!!

And if Presidents of the United States were elected by popular vote, this poll would mean something. The Democratic Party's nomination process is flawed because it tries to be fair rather than focus on which candidate can win the Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
Obama fans can keep pushing, but they're only going to take us all over the brink into the abyss if he becomes our candidate.
The only way that the Democratic Party could nominate Obama now is by a total failure of leadership. All automatic delegates–those who are uncommitted and those who are committed to the weaker general election candidate–have to have the courage to do what they were given the power to do according to the rules of the Party's nomination process. They have make Hillary Clinton the nominee of the Democratic Party and they have to make voters understand that winning the White House is more important than half the voters' infatuation with a candidate whom they barely know.
Let me put it another way:
Younger Democrats dutifully voted for Gore and Kerry in 2000 and 2004, only to watch George W. Bush take the White House with a weaker message. And he did it not once, but twice.
Before that, older Democrats dutifully voted for McGovern ('72), Carter ('80), Mondale ('84), and Dukakis ('88), only to watch one Republican after another take the White House.
Obama isn't something new. He is the same old story for the Democratic Party, with one exception: at least all the ones who lost before him had the experience to run a national campaign and the experience to be President of the United States.
This will be the last straw. We Democrats have a great shot at finally winning the White House again. But if the Democratic Party wants to role the dice with an unknown candidate who, in addition to having a thin resume, is (as one leading Clinton supporter put it) bait for an October surprise, then the Party will lose the support of many lifelong, rank-and-file Democrats (including this one).
Clinton for President of the United States of America '08!

she has lost me and my friends for ever. And we are all white women in our sixties (her demographic) who have worked hard for the demodcratic party all our lives.

We are disgusted at the way she has ran her campaign and her divisive tactics. She has done more to set back race relations in this country since there were dixicrats.

She should be ashamed of herself, she has no shame. The only reason she is where she is because of her husband.

She had every advantage, name recognition, her husband, money, the party machine, and with all of that Obama beats her

If Obama can beat McCain without her why would he want Slick Hilie on his ticket? One can only imagin the trouble Bill will cause once back in the white house. Then Obama would have to spend much of his time in office defending himself from stuff Bill did. The Clinton well is tainted. Time for a new start.

I believe we would all agree that despite the fact that WV reflects HRC core backers if Obama did campaign there HRC would have a much smaller margin. Maybe by 10-15%.

Now would be a really good time for HRC to bow out gracefully on a really high note and starting rallying behind Obama so that we will take white house in a convincing manner come November.

Please stop the bickering. Both beat MCain in current polls. Both stand to gain or lose ground should they be nominated, so the polls are a snapshot. Alaska, and Idaho may be red states, but Hawaii, Washington DC (which went 90% Kerry last election) are not, and Kansas is not necessarily a red state, and Obama won by more than 70% there. What's more WV is not necessarily red or blue either. But in the end, does it matter if they are "red" or "blue"? Can't we see past that? Isn't i possible that we might be surprised and see more "blue" than we think? Maybe . . . if we unite. Furthermore no more calling Clinton washed up (her campaign is still going), a liar ,or any sexist name AND no more calling Obama an empty suit, an elitist (this label doesn't make much sense considering he is the poorest of the candidates and just finished off paying his loans from school a few years ago), or anything racially charged. If we could only see the humanity of the other candidate and their supporters we would be a lot better off. their humanity? Yes. When we make the others "just an empty suit" or "just a sore loser" etc. we take away some of their humanity. We limit them to our narrow thinking. This is not helpful. Obama supporters are guilty AND Clinton supporters are guilty. Obama supporters say mean things AND Clinton supporters say mean things. I don't want to read that one side is hateful and rude and the other isn't because if you objectively read any of this strings of comments it is not true. Please, come together. We have more in common than we do different, and "a house divided against itself cannot stand," so let's stand together.

RB: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but blacks don't vote Republican because Republicans don't give a f#&!*& about us. Remember, during George Bush's first five years he refused to meet with the NAACP even once. All other presidents met with them at least once a year. We get the feeling that they hate us just as much as we hate them. That's why you should hear alarm bells when G.W. Bush got as much black support as Hillary is, and she's a DEMOCRAT. That's a hint and a half for her. She needs to stop harping on Obama's 40% white vote, and get to work on her 8% black vote. And don't blame the voters for being racist. She played the race card, not the voters!

How does a margin of 5 to 7 points considered "easily" beating Senator McCain? This is just barely above the margin of error of such polls. Besides, both Senators Obama and Clinton are benefitting from the publicity of their heated battle, which has overshadowed Senator McCain. Once the Democrats choose their candidate, the real campaign will begin. It is only then that polling will accurately reflect the choice of the informed electorate.

The Republicans need to leave Pastor Wright out of this election. He has nothing to do with Mr. Obama's campaigne. If people think that Mr. Obama is that small mineded to be under the thumb of this Minister they are not playing with a full deck. mr. Obama is his on man and I know that when he states that is was wrong for pastor Wright to say those things, he is correct. GROW UP AMERICA!!!

The West Virginia primary was a preview of the coming attraction. Where Obama does not have a significant number of AA voters, he can not win. Don't give me this junk that he will win some of the former red states that he won in the causes or primaries would somehow make up for the loses in Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia and West Virginia. The media's love affair for Obana goes on and where has the information on the internal polling for Ohio, Missouri and Pennsylvania gone? The polls in these state show Obama being beaten badly by McCain. These are states that must be won or the Democrats lose. THe large number of AA voters reside in the southern states and they make up a large number of the Democratic base. With the much larger number being the Republican base. Obama will lose all of the south, allof the border states, all of the normal red states, Michigan for sure since his lawyer's held up the revote, and one of both Ohio and Pennsylania. The seated congressional representatives are flocking to him, because they need that small amount of AA vote in their distrects to survive.

No surprise Obama is beating McCain and that number will only increase as the race goes on. The big surprise is that Hillary doesn't know its over and is trying to pretend that west Virginia's vote matters in the primaries. One has to ask themselves why is it that 7% of that state voted for Edwards and he has not been in the running for the nomination for months. Hillary needs to really rethink how important that "big" victory of here was last night?

It is not the popular vote that will count in the end; it is the state-by-state delegate count. Use this poll and show us that delegate count. This poll does not show what will be in November; only what people think now. Obama cannot characterize McCain as untrustworthy as he did Clinton. Clearly, Obama is less trustworthy than McCain. Obama has no record of actions, on inaction; McCain, on the other hand, has a clear record of working across the aisle with Democrats and doing what he believes is right for this country. No matter what he says to get elected, we know he will do what he believes is right for this country once he is in office. We do not know that about Obama-he has no record of actions just a lot of pretty speeches; we should elect his speech writers!

Keep in mind – Obama didn't bring up any of Clinton's baggage – he ran a clean campaign – (unlike Clinton) – the days of Clinton and her lying are over – if Clinton did run against McCain – the Republicans would bring up everything from Saul Alinsky to her support for drivers licenses for illegal aliens....to her proposed healthcare plan that will cover the illegals too....and a million other things....

I don't know where you are getting these numbers but I can tell you now it's not from the majoritiy of people on the ground. I'm a Hillary delegate. My numbers say 8 out of 10 Hillary supporters will NOT vote for Obama. It was 50-50 before the Pastor Wright info, but after that I see a huge number of Democrats saying they will swing to the Republican side. Dems are loading the dice, stacking the deck, and rigging the nomination it's very clear. The people will not stand for being cheated and the biggest surprise of all may see McCain winning by a landslide in November. Hillary supporters are angry over two things; Obama being 'forced' on them, and Certain Dems urging Clinton to 'drop out' before she gets a chance to run in certain states. Your math is wrong. Add in Michigan and Florida. All the Clinton events that I attend? I just walk up and ask people will they vote for Obama if he is nominated? I always get a strong angry "Hell No", you need to go to the street anonymously if you want REAL time numbers. The Dems are forcing Obama and ignoring voters. And there will be a giant whip lash. Guaranteed. Your numbers are wrong. McCain will win by a landslide, if Obama is nominated. Dave

I am sick of reading Clinton supporters saying the Superdelegates are trying to overturn the will of the voters by endorsing Obama. Are you insane?

They are putting their eggs in the basket of the person who got the most popular vote, pledged delegates and states won.

Excluding Superdelegates Obama is in the lead and will remain in the lead in delegates. The ONLY way for Clinton to win is for the Superdelegates to ACTUALLY ignore the election results and appoint her the nominee.

With Obama they are reinforcing the election results, with Clinton they would be voiding them.

One other comment. Please try not to generalize about people from West Virginia. We have some wonderful supporters on this blog from WV who have worked hard on this campaign. There is a lot of poverty in WV; so many people are spending their time meeting the basic needs of their families, not paying attention to politics. As we reach out to more people and educate them about Barack they are impressed. Of course there are other reasons, but I hope we won't lump all people who don't vote for Barack into one stereotype.

As a Republican who twice voted for Bush, I am a bit confused by Democrats right now. From an outsiders perspective, the Hillary supporters seem to be ignorant and racist. I guess this coincides with polls that suggest that she is winning over the old, white, blue collar uneducated citizens. However, it makes me laugh when they claim Obama is out of touch and elitist and support Hillary for her ability to relate to Joe America. They also support her courage to remain in the race long after most of the world realizes that this race is over.

My comment is this: these are the same voters that HATE ( i repeat HATE) George W. Bush. However, George W. Bush was an elitist from an elitist family that was able to connect with Joe America like he is a normal guy you can drink a beer with. He also refuses to admit the war was a mistake and will stay in to the bitter end no matter what other people say. Sound familiar?

Yet Barack Obama was raised by a single mother, earned his way into an elite school as a black man (which was tougher then than it is now), worked as a community organizer in the inner city of Chicago, and then became an elite lawyer.

This is why dems will never win the White House, their voters are too easily swayed and refuse to question what they are spoon fed. Everything is calculated. You might as well vote for McCain because at least you know your after-tax pay wont be going up.

There is strong blow back from the female voter. Granted women need an advocate in the White house. Someone who you can depend on for truthfulness and integrity. I fail to see that in Sen. Clinton. She keeps changing the rules. I Think that lends itself to changing the truth in the future. Any judge would probably discount testimony from someone caught lying in a serious matter. Being the Policy Director of this nation would make it necessary for them to be honest. I don't see "Truthfulness" in her. President Bush you see the same twisting of the truth. This is politics as usual. Can we as a nation afford to continue of this path? Racism is an ignorance and it can be informed. Let's educate those who are. For their sake as well as our country's welfare in this expanding global market.. Those less educated are pentiful, and they are the ones who have voted on emotional issues and continued to give this country bad government. When will we wake up?

Being a "friend from the north" (Canada), I feel that I can be objective about what I see is happening in the primaries. I am hoping that the super delegates are seeing the same thing and aren't saying anything to not fuel any rumours of rifts within the party.

The way Clinton supporters are reacting (that only 38% would support Obama) is only because Clinton has decided to play dirty poilitics. She has pushed the envelope within the democratic party as it relates to how she has approached her fellow Democratic senator. She has had a great influence on how her supporters feel about Obama; Obama has been much more cordial to his peer.

Normally I would not have a problem with this; if she would stick to the issues. Her past personal attacks and her present lofty interpretations of the primary results are an insult to intelligent voters. If she would just debate the differences of opinions between her and Obama, this process would be a much healthier one. The way she has carried herself gives us all the impression that Clinton & Obama aren't even in the same party. If Clinton does become a presidential candidate, it won't be as a democrat, it will be as an independant (because she is that determined). Then the joke will be on the Democrats who supported this process only to have her sabotage the whole thing.

P.S.: Isn't this all to familiar to Americans. A politician who is determined to do things her way regardles of what the rest of the nation feels she should do. A politician who sees successes where others clearly see an insurmountable challenge. A politician willing to cause rifts within the party at all cost for personal agendas. Ring familiar? Try George W. Bush. I would worry about the determination she is showing right now.

P.S.S.: Having said all that, I love American politics and its process. Let's just leave dirty politics out of it; especially in primaries.

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.
