Great – I'm glad you finally got a Clinton supporter on your panel…

GO HOWARD….

They've tried to force her out since Iowa…..

She's in to WIN….Go Hillary

Breaking News: Bill Schneider single handedly divides Democratic Party in just under 3 hours of spam.

I just did the Delegate count on this site giving Clinton 70% to Obama 30% in the remaining states and she still doesnt get the delegates she needs to win. WOW, why is CNN saying her fight is daunting instead of impossible?

Obama '08 — The Uniter

Not only do the Clintons say and do things to divide the party, they prolong their stay in this race and want ordinary people to pay their bills!

Bill and Hillary, you got millions of dollars. Pay your own bills!

The Clintons have raised millions for Democrats, and the party has repaid them by throwing Hillary under the bus in favor of the new guy on the block. The biased, sexist, despicable way she has been treated disgusts me. The DNC can kiss this woman's butt good-bye for good. I am happily re-registering as an Independent and will vote for Nader before I vote for their hand-picked wonder boy.

Hillary is just playing the spoiler now. She doesn't care about the democratic party and its obvious. She is purposely creating this rift so she can campaign again in 2012. If she really cared abut the Dems winning in November under a strong unified party, she would have bowed out and started campaigning for Barack weeks ago. What a shameless person…..

Hillary is just weakoning the party. She will not win Oregon. Everyone knew the outcome of the WV results. She needs to bow out and strengthen the party. The more she stays, the more she hurts her own chances for a future shot. The more she stays, the more she divides the party. Please go away!

hillary is very polarizing. She knows she cant win she is only staying
in to pull the democratic party apart.

For those of you who keep mentioning reveren wright he is only an
excuse you are using to cover your racism. YOU know yourself that
you dont go alone with every thing you paster say I sure dont.

When WV is became an important state? May be people in WV looking for Jeam Bean and Russian Vodka to snore!! What a big deal Hillary is winning who cares! Hey CNN Schnider stop saying what you think that Obama is in trouble since he did not win WV, het just be sincere when you analyse…did Hillary promise you anything?

Ryan…..McCain is NOT a war monger…..are you nuts? The man survived how many years of torture for this country????? You think he loves war? You obviously are one of the young BO followers……sorry, but Hillary supporters who will support McCain if she loses will do so because McCain is a MODERATE….who believes in global warming and renewable energy….and has EXPERIENCE our country desperately NEEDS NOW!

Lou Dobbs is a hack… he should have stayed in the financial arena.

I want my vote counted.!!!!! Are we really supposed to rally around Mr empty suit Obama!!! If he get's the nomination> I won't even turn on the political news until John McCaine gets elected & believe me if Obama is our nominee the Republicans sadly will be back in the Whitehouse. Obama has absolutely nothing to offer the American people but empty promises!!!! CNN please post my comments!!!!

Go Hillary, I hope she makes it or I'm back to my Party. Four more years? I hope the Superdelegates really look at the numbers, your losing the undecided and Clinton Republicans.

when obama whins big with blacks thats no big deal, but hillary wins big with whites in va. its because they are old , dumb and racists. if the news channels ever had anything good to say about clinton and not be so afraid of saying anything against obama, maybe things wold be different.

Corrected copy: Today Obama is on the campaign trail in Missouri and Michigan campaigning for the general election. If you are a supporter and have not heard his latest speech… try and catch it on CNN or c-span it is worth the time. Very effective and powerful we are gonna have so much fun with the GOP this year!

Go McCain or Hillary? Have you lost your everloving mind? Let's remember what we are voting here for……ending the stupid war! I don't care who I vote for as long as they save us and get us out of the Bush debacle! Wake up people! Don't be ignorant of the platform!

Are you surprised that there is a rift in the party??? That wouldn't be exacerbated by Senator Clinton….would it???…. Did anyone think that hard working, Americans, White American like those living in West Virginia wwouldl be supporting someone other than her???? Not unless she urges them too and there is no indication that will be happening any time soo.

I wonder how these hard working, White American felt about President Clinton during the impeachment hearings????

Well this just goes to show you what happens when people do not go to college…. they end up voting for Hillary.

I am amazed at how many times it has been said that Hillary leads amongst uneducated white people that do not have a college or university degree. I do NOT think that this is something to be proud about. On the contrary, it seems that those who are better educated are better informed. Therefore, they make a smarter decision.

Also, one more thing…..

If West Virginia couldv'e even advance to the National Title at the end of the season, I wonder how the people really feel…..LOL!!!!!! And by the way West Virginia, Pitt was a terrible team!!! LOL!!!! But boy, did you really mess up on that game……

These little victories are like the Garbage points that the losing team scores so the team's stats look better during a blowout. The Fat lady has warmed up and is gracefully approaching the stage. Bye Bye Hillary.

Hmmm let me get this straight. This is big news how???? For the longest, the media especiall CNN and Fox have always underscored Obama's wins.

WV win is not news because it was known all alone that she would win there and win big but it is amazing how the media quickly exited the subject of Indiana where she was predicted in the last day of campaigning to win by 5-8 points. Hmmm media goons did not run with that story when she escaped by a 1/2 breath.

Jamal & Roland seem to think that Obama can pick & choose his states,if he is the nominee running. I will guarantee you that,all the people that voted for him the first time around,before his rev. wright came to light & Ayers/Rezko/Hamas, came to plague the golden child, they will not be so naive the second time. Even if Hillary should be the VP running mate, I will not vote for Obama. Most of the superdelegate that have endorsed him, is because they don't like the Clintons.

Today Obama is on the campaign trail in Missouri and Michigan campaigning for the general election. If you are a supporter and have not heard his latest speech… try and catch it on SNN or c-span it is worth the time. Very effective and powerful we are gonna have so much fun with the GOP this year!

Yes, and all the news channels are saying the WV voters are uneducated and white. What they are not saying is that they are racist. Is CNN saying the rest of the country is uneducated and racist??

I can't believe that people are so racist that they are not even listening to what he has to say. If you listen to him, you LOVE him. He is this countries only chance. I sure hope the uneducated whites don't spoil it for the rest of us.

THANK GOD A STATE THAT HAS BRAINS !!! HOORAY MAYBE THERE IS HOPE.

If Obama is the Democratic candidate and Hillary Clinton is not on the ticket, we will absolutely vote McCain.

Hillary was the front runner and a new comer ripped the rug from under her feet. For that, Obama is more than qualified to become president of the United States. He slapped Hillary so hard, she still have his finger prints on her face. My question, if you are the stronger candidate, why are you losing? Why can't you close the deal? Clearly this says a lot of Hillary..she thought she was entitled to the White House.

The same people who voted for Clinton, mainly because the color of her skin, are the same people who are going to be benefit once Obama is President. I'm sure issues like social security, the economy, education, and the environment, were mute in many household conversations, because the color of Barack's skin took precedence over what is really causing problems in this country. Some day, just not any time soon, we'll get past this unpatriotic racial divide.

Hillary Clinton can beat McCain. Obama is out of touch. I will REFUSE to vote for Obama if he is the nominee. I will vote for McCain and I think a lot of other Clinton supporters will also do the same. Go home Obama.

All these Clinton supporters are mad because they are going to lose! You guys are upset because two states disregarded the rules and tried to hold an early primary. As punishment, there delegates were scraped and in turn, Hillary's strength was weakened. Don't blame Obama for their mistakes but deal with the fact that FL and MI were very early in the race when Clinton was leading. It wasn't until Obama won 9 straight states that Clinton supporters started wanting those states back. Be the better person, accept the defeat, and quit giving into what McCain, Rush L., and the rest of the Republican clowns want by writing off the Democratic party completely. Do you want another 4 years of George Bush policies? Need I remind all of you that gas here in CA was $1.86 before Bush came into office. As an Obama supporter, if Clinton won, I would DEFINITELY vote for her in November because that is what a true Democrat does…they vote Democrat.

I vote for the party just as much, if not more than the person, in this case I want Obama to win, however, if Hillary somehow claims the nomination, I will still vote for the Democratic candidate. It is called "towing the line" something that Republicans are very good at. If this election goes to McCain becuase of bitter Obama or Clinton supporters it will be another sad 4 years for the Democrats.

I hope that when all of this is said and done, Hillary Clinton is long remembered as the driving force that let the GOP retain the White House in an election season that should have been a landslide to the Democratic Party.

All of you that insist that you’ll vote for McCain if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination deserve whatever you get. It’s sad that you’re willing to take the rest of your party and your country with you.

All of you liberal women that insist that it’s time for a woman president, without regard for the best interest of your country, brace yourselves. John McCain will install at least two Supreme Court justices and your precious Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

As distasteful as this campaign has become, I will vote for whoever the democratic nominee is. I don’t believe America or the world deserve another four years of the failed policies that will be continued under a McCain presidency.

Women who vote for McCain as opposed to Obama can kiss their reproductive rights goodbye….are they prepared to do that?

I will never vote for OBO! ………………………HILLARY'08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes there is alot of reconciliation to be made and Hillary has no intention to proceed down that road… the bigger the rift the happier she'll be…. I've lost all respect for her!!!!!!

She wins West Virginia!! Who cares!!! Ever see the movie "Deliverance"? Most educated people know that West Virginia is full of racist, no teeth having rednecks!!

Hillary is done!! NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA hey hey hey goodbye!!!

I'll vote for the Democratic nominee, but don't blame me if McCain wins. But I reserve the right to say, "I told you so."

Go Obama! Thanks for the few that did vote for him in WV!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!

I'm so glad that I'm considered a racist now that I won't vote for a senator who is not ready to be president. Well does it make me a sexist because I am a man who will vote for Hillary. You Kool-Aid drinkers need to get your facts straight and vote for the most fit candidate. Whether it be Clinton or McCain.

I have never voted for a republican for president but right now I would rather vote for McCain than Clinton. I know, however, that the reality is that when we get close to election day and the issues become apparent I will hold my nose and vote for Clinton if by some trick she wins the nomination. No matter how deceitful I think she is.

I remember in 1980 when NOW (National Organization of Women) declined to support Carter. I think, but am not sure, that it was because he didn't do enough to support the Equal Rights Amendment. So how did Reagan work out for getting the ERA ratified? Same thing will happen if the supporters of the loser in the primaries vote for McCain.

DNC + Supers = Party Bosses get to pick who they want.

There are people mad at Obama or Hillary but not much at the DNC. They along with Obama and Hillary decided NOT TO COUNT THE VOTE OF TWO STATES. If I ever hear about the GOP stealing 2000 I will tell them to shut up and look who in fact is on the record not counting the vote of two states. It is not the GOP it is the DNC.

Say whatever but that is fact!!!

Hillary will win the nominee..

Wow, You guys are just now figuring this out? We need to mend the party, not play up to one of the candidates wishes. Which, if I am reading the news correctly has made a Landslide win in WV. Well, wasn't this expected??? He has gained about 4 supers today
Can't we just bow out gracefully? Yes Hillary, you tried.

Thank you WV, for proclaiming you are the most backards state in the country by voting for her with the largest margin ever.

For everyone saying there is a rift… think of this. McCain will put in conservative judges. There could be 2, 3 or maybe 4 vacancies in the Supreme Court in the next 5 years.

McCain will keep u sin Iraq, and send MORE TROOPS and MORE MONEY. McCain is everything you are against (at least if you truly believe in what Hillary tells you and arent voting for her because you know she is almost the same as McCain and is pandering to you).

So why would you let this guy have 4 years in the White House if you hate Bush so much? Don't be a crying sore loser and shoot yourself in the foot because you want to show Obama who is boss.

Thank you -Hiliary!

CNN wants Obama to win because they have lost so many viewers —- the ones who voted for the real and only 44th President of the US. Hillary Clinton.
She will win and you have lost us as viewers.
How can you call yourselves journalists?

All it need is one good speech by Obama to reconcillaton to happen.

Be aware that the "Popular Vote" was highly skewed by a huge percentage due to Operation Chaos.

Please keep in mind that a high percentage of the HRC "popular vote" count is directly from this Republican sabotage…..
NOT because they want HER!!!

I'm not racist, I'm genderist. I'd rather have a woman in the white house.

Thanks, HRC, for running one of the nastiest campaign in recent memory. You achieved your goal – the party is split and polarized. It's clear where the racists are, and a lot of them post on here. I heard a sobering thing on NPR this morning. A university professor in West Virginia says that people there still use the word "colored" when referring to people of African descent. It says it all right there. God Bless, no Help America!

Vote republican! good bye to womens right to an abortion once mccain appoints a few supreme court justices.

Congrats Hillary…Keep on trucking……………

Are you kidding me? It's no surprise that West Virginian exit polls show democratic voters would vote for McCain over Obama. It is a blue collar, coal mining state. I thought the comment by Hillary about how no future president since 1918 has lost West Virginia. They obviously vote for the clear favorite come November. Hillary needs to concede so the democrates can rally around Obama and beat McCain in November. Please report on real news, like the China earthquake or Myanmar rather than this fodder.

As one astute reader already pointed out, one state does not reflect the demographic of the entire party. That being said, Clinton has hurt this race irreparably for both her legacy and Obama's candidacy. The damage is done. It's truly sad that the Clinton campaign lacked the foresight of this scenario. Obama will be the nominee. However he will have to rebuild the damage the Clinton's have wrought. If McCain wins in November, America will get what they deserve for allowing this to happen.

I do not believe any rift exist. Emotions are hot right now but it will calm down and Hillary supporters will eventually come home to the Democratic Party. I cannot believe they are foolish enough to vote against their interests! I hope Barack nominates a woman for VP spot as long as it is not Hillary. She is a liar plain and simple. Cannot be trusted to walk my dog much more be a heart beat away from the presidency of the USA!

That is what is wrong with Obama's supporters, all of the states are very important. At least for Hilliary they are important. She has been fighting for Michigan and Florida to be seated. Obama doesn't want a fair fight that is why he hasn't supported them to be seated. The same for West Virginia he had more important things to do like running for the general election before he is the Nominee. Hilliary's women for McCain a battle we are willing to fight for if Obama is the democratic nominee.

A Clinton Victory – Dividing the party that did not give her the crown.

Intresting 1-4 voted based on race and gender pro Clinton in todays primary. Maybe SNL was onto something. How else can a candidiate like Hillary lie after lie after lie all caught on tape, pander the American voter with bandaid ideas and still win. cause she looks like the majority. Shame WV!! White doesn't mean right

The super guys who placed their vote with obama have lost the White House again – when will my party ever learn. obama cannot beat McCain – another 4 years – not sure I can stand it.

The CNN polls are not news, but simply a matter of the media trying to create news. They have hashed, rehashed and continue to rehash hypotheticals to the point that CNN, in particular, is not even worth watching.

For those of you voting Republic if Hillary does not get the nomination. Well, that is exactly the place you should be, in a party where democracy and respect for ourselves and other countries, mean NOTHING.
So let's go for four more years of Republican Policies – The economy has never been better.

Hillary will end up with the popular vote…..will the dems pull a Gore2000 on themselves???????????

Thank you, W.VA!! News people need to be asking more Clinton supporters if we will support Sen. Obama….voters in W. Va. said it right. We don't trust or know him. He certainly doesn't know what he's doing. Anyone can talk a good race. Sen. Clinton would make the best President…after that, it would be McCain. The "party" doesn't matter…it's the individual that is important.

I support Hillary, and it's hard to get behind Obama after seeing him as aligned with anti-gays, racists, and sexists. Their platforms are almost identical but for Hillary's concern for children, gays, and women's rights. It's difficult for her supporters to want to sacrifice that for a cult leader…

Do you ask their party affiliation? In many states republicans chose a democratic ballot for the priimary; and plan on voting their history come November.
Exit polls are unrelaible, except to news agencies that use them to make projections 5 seconds after the polls close.

Obama only making three short stops in the state is what killed him here. He even lost his base supporter. If he does the same the rest of the primary states Hillary may get her "in".

Hillary Clinton is by far the stronger and more experienced candidate — not to mention, she's smarter! I saw Anderson Cooper doing some math last night on McCain/Obama. LOL… LOL…the so-called "best political team" thinks Obama would take California. Don't think so! Latinos and conservatives would vote for McCain. California would also go to McCain. Don't Democratic party leaders get it???? You can't buy the psyche of American voters!

Re this thread and the one about "Sobering news for dems": While some, perhaps many, of Hillary voters in W. Virginia may be racists, there is still a hard core of people who can't seem to get over the fact that she is not going to be the Democratic Party nominee. Those people ought to take a deep breath and try to think a little more clearly. There is little difference between Obama and Clinton in policy. There's a world of difference betweein either of them and McCain. Are Hillary-or-else fanatics really stupid enough to try to sabotage the whole country if they don't get their way? It appears so. It makes you wonder about who the real terrorists are. It certainly isn't Senator Obama.

OLD, UNEDUCATED, RACIST people of WV are not going to decide the president of United States. period.

Congulations Hillary for winning West Virginia

Our nation is involved in multiple wars, we are in a recession despite what President Bush currently says, gasoline prices are now up to $4.00 per gallon here in northwest Ohio, unemployment is on the rise and there are numerous other issues spiraling out of control. Now is not the time for a wet behind the ears freshman senator to take control of the White House. We need someone with a proven leadership record, someone that will restore our nation to our prior status as a leader in the world. WE NEED HILLARY CLINTON. Senator Obama has had his 15 minutes of fame and he can come back eight years from now and run again.

Daryl,
don't be Un-Obamic, don't mudsling.

Clinton supporters, arent you happy that we will vote for you if Obama loses?
Do you want her to run as independent and further lose her money for nothing?
Obama said he will help raise against Clinton's debt. I have donted to help her, and you think we want her to run independent and waste that money?

Please reconsider,

This is getting ridiculous. Obama is the nominee. There's nothing else to report. Hillary supporters, please do what is best for this country and this party and support Obama in the November election. We can't afford a Bush clone in the White House.
For the sake of this country, for our future, we need to come together and start thinking about November!
Democrats '08!!

In terms of policy, they are both better than McCain and that's what matters to me. I voted for Hillary, and though I don't like Obama nor his subpar healthcare plan, he is still more similar to Hillary than McCain.

This rift is all Hilary Clinton's doing. If she cared anything for the party she would not have constantly and consistently put Barack Obama down, especially when it was clear he was the probable winner. She is a soar loser. She is selfish and without conscious. She doesn't represent the Democratic Party I joined all those years ago and I am female.

This country has made concerted efforts to mend race relations in this country. However, they are fragile patches and the process is long. Hence, racial tensions can flair up with the slightest agitation. Hillary did just that for self gain. She stirred up these ill feelings in hopes that she could bolster her numbers and the media happily abliged her to increase their ratings. Does anyone have a conscious anymore?

Fortunately, this country has progressed far more than I ever believed it would. This is also to both Hillary and the media's surprise. God bless America and those who believe in the true American spirit! Go Obama!!! We adore you more for taking the high road.

Hillary and her husband were willing to destroy the Party in order to run a Quixotic campaign these last few weeks…but soon the voters will get focused on what matters and that is ending George W. Bush's policies before McCain gives him a 3rd term…

…they will consider who gets to appointt justices to the supreme court (and how close we are to losingRoe v. Wade), who will end the war, who will work for universal health insurance, who will end the greed in the tax code…

…when they relax after a tough primary season, Democrats, Independents and any Republican who has read more than one book in the last 8 years…will unite with Obama.

And how many of the exiting voters are Republicans wanting to create a
little chaos? I'd be truly interested to know the percentage of Republicans who voted as "new" Democrats, and how they voted. I am certain the Dems will rally around whichever candidate emerges as victor, even though I would prefer Hillary!

C'mon Hillary–take a chance and run as an Independent! I'll write my check the minute you announce.

By the way, did Obama bowl that 37 with or without bumpers????
What a woos.

I voted in every presidential election since 1976 and I don't remember the "declared" nominee (Obama in this case) getting his clock cleaned like he is tonight in W VA. This should have been a primary victory-lap! Obama will make a fine president – in 15 or 20 years. In the meatime, let's be smart and pragmatic – it's Hillary folks!

People will float that ace of spades card out there all day long, I truly believe come November the party will be united.

I know we don't want 4 more years of Bush and I know the Obama or Clintons supporter will not stand for that.

Another useless poll. What did did you think they'd say when asked at a polling place while voting in the primary election?

The fact is, we won't know if the Dem Party will come together for the November election until then.

Why don't you ask people if they think the health care crisis can be fixed without removing the profit-driven insurance companies?

Lou Dobbs needs to call ICE on Castellanos and send him back across the border for his comment about Starbucks in West Virginia. Very lame comment and unnecessary.

It's all going to be fine. Once the party unites around Obama, a lot of this stuff will go away. Only a bitter fool would choose war monger McCain just because Hillary didn't get the nomination.

I do realize that there is not a lot to report on this primary, but this is a all time low. Most people only want what they want until something else comes along or if they don't have any other chose at all. Human nature!

What is Obama our next president doing today?????????

Yeah, the dumbest most backwards state in the whole country has opinion, but no one but desperate Hillary supporters are interested.

The wording of the question leaves something to be desired. Who's to say that not being "satisfied" equals "not voting for"?

There used to be more than 50% of Obama supporters who agreed to vote for Hillary. This rift does not look good, but I don't think it's Republicans' fault.

Why do people like those Clinton's? Obama is a breath of fresh air, no baggage and a new beginning. The Clinton's time is over.

There is a diffrence between being "educated" vs. being "learned."
After reading 95% of the notes (blogs) on CNN, here are some conclusions:
1.Hillary's supporters may be learned, but they are not educated. That is, they show gross negligence in doing research to uncover the truth.

2. Majority of Hillary's supporters write using "uppercase" letters, suggesting that they are rude, bitter, and inconsiderate.

3. Like their candidate, most of Obama supporters are very humble and put this nation "first". Wealth and greed are seen as secondary or remote issues

4. All of the lies and disinformaiton about Barack is going up in smoke as past political propaganda. We are now witniessing history unfolding before our very eyes, as the nations' first Democratically elected black man gets voted into the highest position of authority in the country. I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American again. Thank you Barack, for being a true leader.

CNN is a Republican RAG!

ANYone but Clinton- that is cool and okay to say.

ANYone but Obama – OMG, LOL that is being racist.

You are all such narrow minded hypocrits.

I could write a 10 page summary of all my reasons for NOT voting for Obama. And since I am mixed race- none of them are racist reasons.

I will write Hillary Clinton in.

She needs to drop out now and put her support behind Obama. Anything other than that is a discredit to the party at this point. It is her blind arrogance fueling her now. She could still be Vice if she'd get off her high horse.

Go Hill!!!!!
BO, the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE, just LOST a state needed in the General Election 2 to 1!!!!
HE HAS A HUGE PROBLEM!!!!!

A "clear rift" in the party within the state of West Virginia… maybe. Nationwide? No. If the rift was that clear, we would not be in the position we are, with a clear candidate of the democratic party, voted by democrats, into the nomination.

C'mon Bill Schnieder, stop pandering to Sen. Clintons supporters. The longer you keep this up, the longer they think she actually has a chance. The rules aren't going to change. The math is not going to change. Hillary will not be ahead in the popular vote. This win in W. Virginia is irrelevant except to show that Hillary still has some avid supporters (nothing wrong with that!). Congratulatiuons to Sen Clinton on her win today. Condolences to Sen. Clinton in her loss for her bid for the Whitehouse.

1.8 million people in WV out of 300 million people living in the US is only a mere 0.006% of the population. Tell me again why WV is so important?

You people who will vote McCain over Obama are sickening. Seriously, this is more important than you. Get over yourself. Obama is winning and will probably win, by the rules, rules that why you may not agree with them, you werent interested enough to change them before it was too late. So deal with it. Vote Obama because hes a million times better than John McLame.

Jay,didn't hear you complaining as blacks voted 90% democratic for the last 40 years….

why now?

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

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

RESIST THE REPUB HATE MACHINE!

I am a college graduate with a doctorate and I go to Starbucks as do my friends who are all college graduates. We all support Hillary. We also get a laugh out of CNN's protrayal of us as a solid demographic group for Obama. Accordingly, we took an all day poll of people coming into this college town's Starbucks and found over 70% in favor of Hillary.

Why don't they just let Obama be president of those 7 extra states with the one left to go and let Hillary be president of the real 50

I am so sick and tired of people blaming Barak Obama for Michigan and Florida. Do you guys read??? THEY WERE PUNISHED FOR HAVING THEIR PRIMARY EARLY. ALL CANDIDATES WERE AWARE AND ALL AGREED. When Hillary was winning, she said "Oh, those states don't matter". Now, all of a sudden, they matter. Are people that stupid??? Stick to the rules that you agreed to when you were losing. Such as sore loser!

Go back and take a look at all the debates. Hillary has had solutions from the beginning. Obama has ridden on the coat tails of all the potential candidates and is still full of hot air! Why do you think his platform looks similar to hers – because he could not come up with any of his own original ideas. He took all the ideas of all the other candidates that started out in this race.

Something for all to ponder is this…. that no matter which "party" one is supposedly affiliated, we live in a democracy (at least last time I checked) and we have the ability to vote for whoever we feel is the best candidate that will represent our ideals. So, if a "democrat" wants to vote "republican" then so be it or vice-versa. There were no "parties" when our country was created! It is just a label for a group of people who got together to support each others ideas and a way to raise money. Within those "parties" there are many differences. The label should not matter, it should be the substance. Who has the best substance and who is going to take this country back to being the leader in the world.

GO HILLARY GO! You have my vote in November

Who didn't know Hillary was gonna win WV…

That is hogwash. I have taken many polls and when asked the question "who would you vote for if Hillary Clinton got the nomination" I always say McCain, when in fact I would never change parties. But, I know that you guys like to say things like, "45% of Barack Obama supporters say that they would vote McCain if Hillary wins" which makes things look bad for Obama. I think that you guys know that these polls don't mean squat.

The Media, West Virginia, and the Clinton are racist, I will never, never vote for Hillary, even if she was the last woman on earth. She have no shame in her games with racist remark, so does the media and some of the Democratic Party. The eke with all of you.

Obama caused the party split. He acts like West BY GOD Va. doesn't matter. That's because he knows WE'RE BITTER! And we will never vote for a traitor, dishonest, disloyal, liar, sneak, America hater like him. NEVER!!!!!

You're right {tell the truth}. No matter what the delegates want,the popular {peoples votes} WANT HILLARY !!!!

If the delegates sell out the Voters, the Voters WILL REBEL!!!

I am included in that.

1. Hillary
2.John McCain
3.Ron Paul
4. No body else !!!!!

Why are we keep blaming Hillary for everything? A lot of the hatred are caused the the Obamabots' constant bashing of Hillary. You Obamabots are the one dividing the party.

I will not vote Obama, I will sit home or vote McCain…

Obama swings Iowa for the Democrats which is worth 2 more electoral votes than West Virginia. WV is clearly not the lynch pin for November.

OK….So West Virginia has shown us that there is a pattern developing…The uneducated people who did not attend (or finish) college and are making less than 50K a year are supporting HRC…These people are now known formally as Hill-Billies!

Surprise…..Surprise……Surprise…….

YES..YES…AND I DO BELIEVE THERE WAS A LARGE RIFT IN THE GOP AFTER CARL ROVE, RALPH REED AND GEORGE W BUSH DID THERE HIT JOB ON MCCAIN IN THE 2000 SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN PRIMARY..

the so called rift in the party is not the result of the prolonged primary contest
rather it is the cause of the prolonged contest

many people with strong preferences
whats wrong with that?

You know what's funny??? I always keep reading that Hillary should run as an Independent! LOL!!! Now that's funny…

no

West Virginia speaks the truth in this media biased election! How can you discredit a woman who is a fighter and a hardworker? It is not over until its over!!!!!!! HILLARY is a stronger & electable candidate! She is in it to win it! Finish all the primaries, seat all the FL & MI delegates and she will emerge as the winner!!!!!

The DNC should take most of the blame for this in not stopping this train wreck earlier. Hillary is next in line for blame because she refuses to unite the party and step away from the contest. If these things were done in a timely manner Dems would be focused on the goal of winning back the WH, not bashing each other on a daily basis.

Relax everyone. It’s the end of the primary season and emotions are still running high. Once the differences between Obama and McCain are flushed out the party will unite. No sensible Dem (or Lefty Indy) would vote McCain in the fall. Especially women. Good lord, ya’ll had to have heard about McCain’s plans for the Supreme Court and what that would mean for Roe vs. Wade! Chill.

YOU HAVE ONLY OBAMA SUPPORTERS ON YOUR PANEL!!

ROLAND, JAMAL AND BRAZILLE – NOT FAIR….

Listen to Roland trying to spin this…..as if Obama didn't outspend her 2 to 1.

YES – LOU DOBBS – BRING THAT UP – HE OUTSPENT HER 2 TO 1!!!

Hey "Tell The Truth".

WHat we have to look at is not that this is one state, but the latest trend. Obama dominated March, that is it. Hillary has been spanking him every since. It is this losing trend for Obama and inability to win swing states, blue collar states, Asians, Latino's, Seniors, and Military votes that will cause him to lose to McCain. Especially with over half of her voters being moderate Democrats. It's a small step to the right to vote McCain, it's a 5K run to go left and vote for Obama.

I'll personally be voting McCain if Hillary is not on top of that ticket.

Clearly we have a values gap. Clinton supporters seem to value sour grapes and tantrums.

I am an Obama supporter and if HRC supporters keep their word, I look forward to seeing the results for those women who find themselves without the right to choose; the economy a mess and them not having jobs and pushing them to the Armed Forces because its the only job available. Even John McCain said he doesn't support the college tuition revisions because he fears that will lead more young people to choose college over the Armed Forces.

You people are a joke. You are so intent on not having a Black man in the White House or voting for GIRL POWER like its a Saturday morning cartoon, that you aren't looking at the big picture. No wonder… most of her supporters are lower educated and it shows.

Go ahead…call me an elitist. I even spelled it for you.

Obama O-8!!

Why has no one ever countered Hiliary's argument about West Virginia. I believe Al Gore and John Kerry both won West Virginia's primary, but failed to win the state in the general election. Winning the primary does not equate to winning the general election. All the primary shows is who they prefer to run not who they will support come the general election.

Hillary, yes, Obama, no. McCain is a bad alternative, but we don't need another rookie president. Not after the disaster of the past eight years.

This is about the most unscientific report I can think of.

Hmmm… how many of you would be mad if the person you most wanted to win the nomination did not?

Why not ask the real question: Will you vote for the other candidate if your nominee doesn't win?

Give us some meat to chew on instead of all this lard!

Eat your corrupt, unethical soul out CNN….it is OUR election!

Cafferty and some other Obama supporters believe in six month that clinton's supporters well end up switching. I can tell you that a larger amount of supporters in los angeles well not switch. It is so disappointing to here such ignorance.

I don't think it's "just one state" and I think it is reprehensible for any Democrat to not vote for the Party's choice – especially when McCain caters to the ultra-right, uber-Christian warmonger set. Repeal Roe v Wade? Stay in Iraq indefinitely? Why not just re-elect GW to a third term – what's the difference?
Shame on you Clinton supporters who won't vote for Obama – support your party! And if you're too racist to vote for Obama, well, then you've been a Republican all along…..

CNN – PLEASE stop perpetuating this problem by printing destuctive headlines like these! Hillary Clinton is doing enough damage on her own to drive a wall in the democratic party not to mention race relations in this country without you consistently giving her a podium and megaphone for it. I realize you need to report the news, but you don't need to keep something alive that is done. It's time to move on PLEASE!

From A former Hillary supporter.

It shows Hillary Clinton is still popular & in the race!!

Go Hillary

Hillary 08:)

Yeah Huckabee won WV and McCain only carried 1%… sounds like the Republicans have some healing to do too.

Democrats need to remember something very important. This election is not about Sens. Obama or Clinton. It's not about John McCain. It's about the war in Iraq. It's about bringing home the troops. It's about rebuilding New Orleans. It's about rebuilding America's infrastructure. It's about creating new, renewable sources of energy. It's about jobs, trade, and restoring America's economic might.

To do these things, we must come together. Regardless of the Democrat who becomes our nominee, we need to come together for the sake of America.

They may change their mind when they think about how McCain loves NAFTA, will not end the war, won't get people health insurance, and will privatize social security. They are angry now, but that may fade with time. We shall see.

It's a fact that no Democratic president has ever won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia. That's how important the voters of West Virginia are. Thank you West Virginians for giving Hillary the big win she truely deserves!!

The fact that 63 percent of West Virginia voters feel the gas tax exemption was a good idea, and everybody else in this country felt it was just a scam, should tell you something. The same thing is probably going to happen in Kentucky.

Do these people have anything beyond an 8th grad education?Thanks goodness they are small states and really don't have any influence in anything.

Gees, this is unreal.

The Obama supporters are hateful and vitriolic. They insult, denigrate and demean anyone who differs from them. They result to vulgar and obscene name-calling.

They do this while purporting to believe in hope, unity and change.

I will never vote for ANY candidate who attracts such immature, vile, viscious and hateful followers.

GO HILLARY! OR, JOHN MC CAIN!

Will never vote for Barack Obama. He could've had my vote as part of the 'Dream Team' but, as he has always been, he was too greedy. Now he'll have nothing.

GO MC CAIN! OR, HILLARY!

Clearly, if 63% of West Virginia thinks the gas tax holiday would work then they are not the sharpest crayons in the nation!!!! I would not be happy with Clinton winning the nomination, but I think this country MUST vote Democratic this time around.

I think the first order of business for President Obama is to send these people to college. I would be insulted to be labeled uneducated, low income supporter of Hillary Clinton. West Virginians should be ashamed of themselves…How backwards can you be???

All of you who is in love with Hilary can you just shut up! She needs to go back to New York and switch to Independent party…I lost all the respect I had for Clintons! it's really Shame! I will vote nader over Hilary…

Its insignificant even if she wins by 80% who cares! she cant beat numbers! Her mission is to wreck the Democratic party and give Mcain a walk over to the white house period!!!

Did the voters of West Virginia vote for Hillary or for Bill Clinton?

Geez this is soo boring. Democrats need to unite or they are going to lose the White House and we're going to end up with another four years of Bush Policy.

The same people who voted for Clinton, mainly because the color of her skin, are the same people who are going to be benefit once Obama is President. I'm sure issues like social security, the economy, education, and the environment, were mute in many household conversations, because the color of Barack's skin took precedence over what is really causing problems in this country. Some day, just not any time soon, we'll get past this unpatriotic racial divide.

You cannot use West Virginia as a basis for anything surrounding the rest of this country. Sad but true. The devision here is not based in reality, but yet in that of backwards, backwoods people! I live in Morgantown and have spent time in many parts of this state. Most of the people outside of the major population centers and not educated and are far from making their decisions based on facts! They vote on the 3 G's:

Guns(Gotta have them)
Gays(scared to death of them)
God

I don't share the opinion of the majority of this state, but they are what they are. Easily swayed by anyone and so unbelievably racist it saddens me beyond belief. It's time for change and with Barack as the obvious candidate one can only hope that the these people will take the time to educate themselves on the issues and facts. Not on a candidate who goes state to state and says what she feels that particular state wants or needs to hear to get their vote!

Barack '08!

I guess West Virginians must all be racist too. NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Hillary for all your mess. You can win the nom, but you are destroying your party. Well done!

Ive done the math in the delegate counter.
Best case scenario for Clinton
:
2072 – 1930 for Obama, if Fl and Mi aren't counted.

And, future bloggers, remember,

We are not McClintons.
Write-ins will not work, 50% of Clinton supporters will vote Obama, CNN says.

OBAMA or DEMOCRAT '08!
**CNN, please post**

After the next 24hrs of spin, we'll all face the reality that HRC can never be the norminee and if she does not rally her troops to the party, she will be kicked out of it. PERIOD. No one should be allowed to divide the DNC.

Could you please stop trying to infer everything from West Virginia? If you'll notice, over 60% made up their mind over a month ago. Obama isn't gonna win West Virginia any more than Clinton's gonna win Colorado. The state has the lowest educational attainment levels in the nation. It's just not Obama territory. It has nothing to do with some sort of overreaching dynamic.

I don't think it's a matter of a "rift" in the party, but a matter of discerning voters who feel that Hillary is most qualified. If she's not selected as the Democratic nominee, then McCain is second most qualified. For me, he is centrist enough to support as an alternative to Clinton if she is not the nominee. Both are more qualified right now to be president than Senator Obama. That doesn't make us bad Democrats, only strategic ones. Hillary will be back in 2012 and the country will need her more than ever.

If people vote for more of the same because their candidate did not win the primary, they deserve the sorry government they get.

Nobody in his or her right mind woud think if John McCain wins the election, he will fire all of the people who have made such a mess of this country and hire –who? The republicans will just continue to go to work and Lord help this country if they stay in control of the government of this country.

Yeah Bill, that rift is called racism. Seems this is a bigger issue than people pretend it to be. West Virginia showed just what we knew them to be, no surprise here.

Come on! OF COURSE people are going to SAY that right now when their candidate is still fighting for the nomination {and I mean both Obama and Clinton}! Get real, you KNOW it will all change once someone wins the nomination and September campaigns kick off….so why try to "invent" news right now? Sometimes I think only Jack Cafferty has the common sense. Report real news, not set out to invent stuff guys! You are better than that, this type of story sounds more like something that ABC, CBS, or Fox would spin. Leave the spin to political spin docs and stick with real news please!

A "clear rift" in the party within the state of West Virginia… maybe. Nationwide? No. If the rift was that clear, we would not be in the position we are, with a clear candidate of the democratic party, voted by democrats, into the nomination.

C'mon Bill Schnieder, stop pandering to Sen. Clintons supporters. The longer you keep this up, the longer they think she actually has a chance. The rules aren't going to change. The math is not going to change. Hillary will not be ahead in the popular vote. This win in W. Virginia is irrelevant except to show that Hillary still has some avid supporters (nothing wrong with that!). Congratulatiuons to Sen Clinton on her win today. Condolences to Sen. Clinton in her loss for her bid for the Whitehouse.

CNN — You can't 'reconcile' the fact that some toothless hicks in West Virginia will always and forever refuse to vote for a black person. The Democratic party needs to reconciliation. What it needs is for Clinton to gracefully drop out of the race so that the party can unite behind Obama for November.

I think you could have written this a couple of weeks ago. Hmmm… maybe you did!

Clinton should run as an Independent…I say Enough with the DNC radical left wingers pushing Obama down our throats. Not to mention picking a nominee with 48 states-You call that Democratic???

West Virginia does not reflect desires of the entire US. Hillary Clinton is broke and I will not donate a dime to bail that evil woman out so she can make her backdoor deal with the Saudis to bail her out….

CNN, enough already with the biased approach to reporting this primary season…tired of hearing you love for Clinton. So much for a fair shake by this news media. As a republican military man I am definately not ready for another Clinton in office messing things up..Go Obama!

If Hillary is so pro Gas Tax Holiday, Why hasn't she sponsored a bill on the Senate floor to put it up for a vote? Could it be because this is yet one more example of the Clinton's pathetic pandering?

There is no Bill on the floor for this summer, the summer recess is a couple of weeks away, it can't happen. Why hasn't the media figured this out? There as bad as the candidates!

Free press….. and worth not a penny more!

The question you are asking seems questionable. You are asking "whether they would be satisfied if the other candidate won the nomination." I say I am a Hillary supporter why should I be satisfied in any case. This does not mean that I would vote McCain you know. SO being a top news broadcaster you are almost spreading misconceptions. Please do not misuse your power.

Oh Yes! There is a clear rift in the party if most are like me. I don't know how much the media was paid to help Obama slide to the lead, but one thing I do know is that he will not get my vote in november, period! I will write in Hillary. Again I say Hillary or nobody.

I am seriously considering going independent because the dems have clearly screwed things up with this disregard for Florida and Michigan.

Hillary is celebrating for her accomplishment in dividing the party.

Obama used celebrities, Oprah and the Kennedy parade to advantage himself.

Obama supporters cheated at caucus by bullying HRC supporters out of their right to vote.

Obama agrees with Rev Wright- or he would have left the church long ago- but SOLD OUT his good friend just for polictical gain.

Obama mocks, jeers, ridicules and demeans Hillary Clinton who supercedes him in every possible way.

Obama Blocked a revote in Fl and Mi because it would disadvantage him.

For all these reasons, and more, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA

A Rift generated and enflamed by Hillary Clinton and her do anyhting say anyhting brand of politics.

Not to mention the Medias LOVE of the rateings and $$$$ this whole train wreck makes for them

Operation Chaos Weekend Review
Part of transcript from Rush radio program:

RUSH: George in Barboursville, West Virginia, welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Nice to have you with us.

CALLER: Hey, Mountaineer Miracle dittos. CALLER: First-time caller, listened to you for several years and the wife and I will be going out early in the morning to vote for Hillary for president, and we won't be voting for her in the fall, but –

RUSH: You're an Operation Chaos volunteer?

RUSH: There's a lot of that in West Virginia, and it's a legitimate concern that you have. One of my best friends is from West Virginia. He's told me about that curse.
But I'll tell you, this Operation Chaos is going to deliver a landslide tomorrow for Mrs. Clinton in West Virginia. …

Clinton has damaged the party to no end. She has no chance to win the nomination. She is going to get trounced in Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota, to name a few states. Obama will clinch it next Tuesday if even a few dozen Super Delegates come his way this week. Hopefully this charade will end next Tuesday and we can all finally unite behind Obama for November.

Hillary, go independent and give America the best chance for a new party since the days of Jefferson.

The media, Operation Chaos, and the Clintons have caused the rift. Hopefully it won't be a permanent rift and the Democrats can get their act together in time for the November election.
CNN reporting news like they are owned by the National Enquirer has played a major role in what is going on right now.
What happened to news stations reporting facts instead of "what if's and total fiction???

Thanks west virginia!!!! Lets help keep Clinton Alive , so we dont have to vote Nader or Mc Cain…. Since she is the strongest canidate out of the three…

Reconciliation takes time. So the sooner Hillary gives up the better the chances for the democratic party. Why doesn't Hillary give up? I would guess it is simply a chance to ruin Obama's and the democratic party's chance at the presidency so she can run again in four years with the campaign slogan, "I told you so!"

tell the truth

your wrong, more people feel the same as west virginia then you think

Congratulations Sen. Clinton, well deserved victory. I support Sen. Obama but you're a tough candidate, tough opponent.

what was one of the reasons "hillary" gave on SNL?…my supporters are racist….looks like that is pretty much the case in WVA

Get over it…..more dems are registering to vote every primary! This has been GREAT!
GOOOOOOO HILLARYYY!!!!!!!

You are right, the democarts do not deserve to win! The Republicans always ouwit them, year after year. Like Hillary, all they do is complain and complain.

Please let Hillary and her hard-fought supporters vote for McCain. No one should stop or try to persuade them. The democratic party needs to get rid of such voters. This is the kind of change we want in this nation.

Hillary and Bill screw up whatever they touch; they should be rejected from the democratic party. Those who want to follow an "impeached family" can feel free to do so!!!

Yes. As West Virginia goes, so goes the whole country. Don't you think a bit of context would make this a bit more relevant?

Just stop already…WV does not reflect the rest of the country. You know better, but you write this kind of nonsense anyway.

HiIllary loves her hard working, uneducated whites!

Maybe the reason that more Obama supporters would rally around Clinton, is because they don't like her personally, but they know she would be competent.

Maybe the reason that less Clinton supporters would rally around Obama is because they don't think he is ready for the Presidency.

A rift in my State? Nah …. politics just get personal and everything is politics

hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree,

tell the truth: May 13th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

One state. Who cares this does not reflect the entire US

Obama 08!!!

Here's a better translation Mr. Schneider: There's a lot of racism to be taken care of.

West Virgina was predicted to go heavily in Clinton's favor…Please CNN explain to me how this state represents the rest of America??

CNN is going for more division and silliness to boost ratings.

Doesn't anyone else feel that it is unethical that this woman is running this campaign and has no idea how she will pay for it??

This was called months ago when the campaign went negative.

Can Pastor Hagee do an exorcist on Hillary Clinton ?
She may be the beast from the east that is predicted in apoclypic circles.

Bill Schneider,

Please remember that West Virginia only has 28 delegates. And the state favors Hillary…duh.

You Go Girl!!! THANK YOU WEST VIRGINIA!!!

If Hillary Clinton is not the democratic nominee, I am leaving the democratic party and becoming a Republican and voting for McCain.

I can't stand Obama and I would NEVER vote for him.

The rift is only in the WV democratic party, not nationwide. Hillary's feminist supporters will come around when Barack picks a woman as a running mate.

So when 91% of the blacks voted for Obama in NC it was OK, But when the role is reversed, the people of WV are racist? Please! Im getting so tired of that crap!

Here's hoping that this is just the loyalty certain voters are feeling towards a candidate and most will evaporate POST-Obama winning the nomination (Not taking sides, i'm just accepting the inevitable)

One state. Who cares this does not reflect the entire US

Thanks West Virginia!!
