Clinton and Obama each hold leads in Tuesday's voting states.

(CNN) — A new CNN "poll of polls" shows Hillary Clinton holds a big lead in Kentucky while Barack Obama is on top in Oregon — the next two states to weigh in on the Democratic presidential race.

According to CNN's analysis of several recent polls from both states, Clinton holds a 30-point lead in Kentucky while Obama is up by 10 in Oregon.

In Kentucky, Clinton is winning 58 percent of the vote while Obama is at 28 percent. Kentucky has a broad swath of working class white voters — the demographic that has long supported Clinton and propelled her to a 41-point victory in West Virginia one week ago. Her large margin in Kentucky appears to indicate those voters are sticking with Clinton, even as Obama appears to be the presumptive Democratic nominee.

In Oregon, Obama is winning 50 percent of likely Democratic voters there while Clinton is at 40 percent. With a large population of young voters and those who are college-educated, that state has demographics that have long favored Obama's candidacy.

Oregon is conducting a vote-by-mail primary, which means that a large number of voters in that state have already cast their ballots.

In Kentucky, 51 delegates are at stake while 52 are up for grabs in Oregon. It remains impossible for Clinton to catch Obama in pledged delegates, but the New York senator is looking to catch Obama in the popular vote total.

Clintons wins won't get her the nomination. Obama will need to find a running mate that has a good chance of appealing to the hardworking, uneducated, white voters that vote for Clinton. Obama has to focus on the general election. Clinton is now a sideline.

David in Chicago   May 19th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Where there is "southern hospitality" (AKA ignorance, lack of education, racism, and old politics as usual) there is a "big" win for Hitlery Cliton. Obama has actually swept more states (25 points or more) than Hitlery.

C Laing   May 19th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Obama has always treated Clinton as if he has already won. That is his strategy. So far, it has worked pretty well. But, it will not work in the general election. What is really hard is that he will not stand for any criticizism. He plays the race card every time. The Republicans will find a way to chip away at him. Hillary Clinton has had her hands tied.

Oh yes, you are right. Many people in the world do know about the competitive race Obama against Clinton and its results. Well, look at me. I'm German. From its capital Berlin. And I'm very much interested in your primary-season and in that presidential race. I do love about it and I hope, you're going to vote Obama as your new president, it could be a great opportunity for you fellow Americans and for the rest of the world, too.
So, do the right thing - Obama '08. :)

More people came out to see Obama in Portland that have come out to see Hillary AND Bill in the last 3 MONTHS LOL!

Hillary supports do NOT send her cash that is why she is Broke.

They do NOT turn out to see her either.

Makes me wonder if there really ARE so many of them.

Mikey   May 19th, 2008 10:33 am ET

Hillary is NOT ahead in the popular vote.

Just another CLINTON LIE!

Get on the Obama Express or support (directly or indirectly) the continuation of many Bush/Cheney/Rove policies for the next four years. It's your choice.

Obama IS ready - find another excuse not to vote for him.

Add Julie (I'm sure not his real name) to the list of Limbaugh trolls.

David,
You are the stupid one. Kentucky is not racist . It is all about values . Of course you wouldn't understand that.
J.S. You are so ignorant that I will try to ignore you.
Hillary or Mcain. Obama hasn't won yet and neither has his arrogant supporters. Hillary has the popular vote so don't count her out. They may steal it from her but if they do then we will go MCain.

bigben   May 19th, 2008 10:33 am ET

Only way Obama could win is the democrats primary is so messed up.
Hillary won the top 5 biggest states and will not win. If they did like the reps she would be the democratic nominee already.

Venus   May 19th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Shame on Hillary!

How many ways can her campaign create ways for her to win!

Yes - the primary is not over - but come on - stop lying to your supporters!

Oregon - you are all beautiful to Obama and his family!

Thanks for giving his campaign one of the biggest turn-out!

75,000 people to see and hear Obama! Way to go!

Please give him a big one on 5/20/08!

Common Sense   May 19th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Every High (over 50k Annaully) paying job requires a college degree but when someone is running for office less educated people become the focus as they vote from emotion instead of education. Kentucky and West Vigirnia very uneducated people….No surprise how they vote. Hillary supporters in general are stating how they WILL NOT vote for Obama…..Very uneducated statements…Hillary supporters like to state how this primary is like American Idol and how Obama is a "Rock Star"….These I might add are the most educated statements that I hear from these people…..Which isn't saying much!

Kennedy Ghetubba   May 19th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Never in my life I have felt strongly that Senator Hilary Clinton is using the white bait to kill the democratic party. This disaster will be due to the undeniable fact that the majority of the majority party members do not see their natural colour as a perquisite to vote for a candidate, but many republican do. Therefore if she continues to argue the way she is doing to the convention centre the democratic party will loose three things in November 2008 ‘ the presidency, the Senate house and the House of representative. If in good and wise counsel she endorses Barack Obama quickly and give him all her time by campaigning with him till November the democratic party has a chance to retain both houses of power and the presidency, but this is half half because it will depend on how people will perceive that move of supporting the presumptive nominee. If many people see it as fake or a betrayer the damage down is very big to help much. If Hilary makes that wise decision now and immediately without any precondition she will be a president before she dies if she so desires.

Karen from Charlottesville   May 19th, 2008 10:32 am ET

As a woman, business owner and feminist, I recognize that Hillary's loss is hard for a lot of women. But, try to remember, we actually have a candidate in Obama who has shared the same type of exclusion that many women have experienced. Like us, he has had to stand in the hall and bang hard on the door to be admitted. He did it by himself, with no help. I admire his grit and tenacity.

It would have been great to have a woman president, and I was a fan of Hillary for years. But, let's face it, she was blindsided and not prepared to compete in the various ways that lead to victory. She wasn't ready for the caucuses and she clearly didn't make a strong enough case to the superdelegates. Obama was her 3 am phone call, and she wasn't prepared to answer it.

The media didn't destroy her. The truth is, she just didn't have a strong enough campaign and wasn't prepared for a powerful challenger. At this point, the only way she can continue to compete is by changing the rules that she accepted early on. That isn't Presidential material.

Obama has run a brilliantly strategic campaign and that tells me he's ready for the job.

Better luck next time Hillary.

BV   May 19th, 2008 10:32 am ET

It's amazing but true, Hillary really does carry the less educated. They truly do stand out when you read what they write or try to write. Please, someone talk to them. They are who I fear the most. Let's get some help out to them so that they can began to realize what's at stake here. You don't go changing parties just because the person who you wanted isn't getting the nomination. Hillary will still go back as a Democratic Senator and fight for Obama once this is all over. That's because they both represent a Democratic view. Hillary is NOT going to vote for George W. McCain. Would someone please talk to these people? We still have time to educate them before they further help to bring this country to it's knees. Couldn't we hold rallies for something for them?

I'm a Hillary fan, but any thinking person will vote for the Democratic candidate in November, and it it's Obama he'll get my vote. McCain/McBush would end any light that has shone on the American Republic since its inception.

Dinah, AL   May 19th, 2008 10:31 am ET

CNN this is not news. We know she's going to win in Kentucky. It will help her "resume" for 2012. She is a spoiled, selfish, self-centered brat who refuses to realize she lost.

I can't wait for the circus to be over, so we can start the real race.

joeparadis   May 19th, 2008 10:31 am ET

The advantage for Mr. Obama in having the comptetition continue is that he gets "real" poll data. That is, it is one thing to answer a polling question. It is another to cast a vote. Obama supporters, please, think positive about the future. Your guy looks like he is at least ahead. To continue with your attacks only hurts the party.

That is a winning combination, for sure!

Powell and Rice have experience.

And please, stop comparing McCain to Bush. McCain is a MODERATE.

Tom   May 19th, 2008 10:31 am ET

David - if Obama were white - he'd have never become a senator, certainly would never have had a chance to make a white house run with no experience and would have been out of the race long ago with all the gaffs he's had and the questionable background and supporters. Can you imagine, just as a single example, a white guy running for President in this time in history describing someone as a "typical black person" and still being the frontrunner of the democratic party. PLEASE! Obama's been handled with kid gloves where, with every gaff he or a family member makes, the press is out there right away making excuses and giving explanations while he sits back and waits for his campaign or speechwriters to come up with an "explanation". The Obama campaign song is sung by someone other than the candidate and is titled "what he REALLY meant to say was…." Oh, and by the way "sweetie" did you happen to notice that he's no longer bragging about talking to Iran "with no preconditions" all of a sudden?

Mfelder   May 19th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Once the democratic nominee has been decided, I think we as democrats need to get behind that nominee. If we have people saying that they will not support the party, if their candidate is not the nominee, then I think that is an uninformed statement. When the nominee has been chosen, then this becomes about the Democratic Party. If you will not be supporting the democratic party, I suggest that you go down to your election office and change your party affiliation. As democrats, we do not believe that the Government should do all things, for people, but we do believe that when there is an unbalance in the the system, that the government should balance things out. If that is what you believe, then you should support our democratic party. If you think, that every man should be for himself, then support the Republican party.

Annamica, OH   May 19th, 2008 10:30 am ET

For Clinton supporter - Obama raised more funds in Kentucky than she did.

I think this has gone to much and I'm tired of the Democrats battling out for the prize of being the nominee of their party. I also want to know where is Tony Snow? Since he's suppose to be a poltical pundit for the Republicans, I only saw him once on CNN and would like to hear his opinion about this matter. I've been a huge fan of CNN, and would like to here what he has to say about the Democrats battling it out. It's getting voters like me not wanting to vote, because they are not united and I like most, will be glad when its over.

While Sen. Obama receives rock star tratment at nearly every campaign stop, Sen. McCain rides about in his Straight Talk Express without much fanfare, often accused of following in the footsteps of an unpopular predecessor. The truth is that John McCain follows his heart and sticks to his convictions, even when receiving litle support.

My favorite clinton supporters quotes: "I WILL vote for McCain, so No THANKS OBAMA" - Youre not a Democrat.

"I AM writing Hillarys name in!!" - You ARE Hillary Clinton

Face facts, her steam was vested in superdels, who came out in great numbers and switched to Obama. FACE IT, the JUNIOR Senator took the nomination and probably will take the White House. THANK GOD another whitewashed politician from the old era isnt getting the house again! I praise his lack of Washington experience and life FULL of REAL WORLD experience dealing with REAL PEOPLE. The real truth is besides this being over, all you Clinton supporters, When hillary does what she said she will and support the winner, will all jump on the Obama bandwagon and pretend you never liked Clinton… its a WRAP.

which does not count in the end. At all but if she wants to play this game fine visit this web site. http://www.realpolitics.com and find out what the real count is. she is not counting cacuas states in her calculations.
she wants to count FL and MI but not the cacuas states. typical.

I'm sure that will IMMEDIATELY turn the situation around for the entire world, forever and ever — after all, he is THe GREAT OBAMA — hee, hee. But wait — first Obama has to get his telepromter in place, then he has to position six U.S. flag behind him, then he has to explain that his campaign must first talk about the logistics — and then it will be too late!

I'm with Gloria in Boca Raton.

It's really time to consider what the Democratic party is about.

Is it about the centrist or the leftist.

I'm a centrist, and likely former Democrat. I'm perfectly comfortable writing in Hillary as my choice for president. This is a democracy after all.

The Obama supporters can vote for whomever they want too. Good luck.

chuck   May 19th, 2008 10:28 am ET

At the end of the night on Tuesday, Clinton will be ahead in delegates elected in PRIMARY ELECTIONS (she is currently behind 1271-1268). She will have won 7 of the 11 PRIMARIES since March 4, and have won them by more than 350,000 votes. She will have had more voters check her name than any candidate EVER in an primary election season (total popular vote - they voted in Florida and Michigan even though they weren't awarded any delegates).

If this was anyone other than Hillary Clinton the talking heads would be screaming for the party insiders to support the will of the people and endorse Hillary Clinton for president. But, right now the party insiders who went to caucuses and are super delegates are throwing the endorsement to the candidate that trails McCain in state by state polls see: http://www.electoral-vote.com

Gwen NC   May 19th, 2008 10:28 am ET

These are not threats from Hillary supporters, these are facts and you need to understand why we won't vote for Obama. In my state of NC I'll be writing her in if she's not the democratic nominee, I won't have to vote for McCain because the rest of the state will do that, Obama cannot win these red states and swing states. Hillary's supporters are loyal to her because frankly we're more in tune and smarter than Obama supporters, we're not blind idealocrats who follow the "pretty picture", we live in a realistic world and we want a realistic leader that works as hard as we do, not one who has no record of major accomplishments.
Sincerely yours, an "educated, multi-degree", early 40 something greater than 50K/yr professional. I supposedly fit the Obama profile, wonder why I'm not voting for him and his angry wife.

Democrats for Obama   May 19th, 2008 10:28 am ET

Kentucky is where you will find the kind of people that vote for Hillary, her "base" if you will. For the most part Kentucky is a GOP state and although the Republicans are not the best name in town right now, they will still be a GOP state in November. The democrats that will support her this week are typical of other areas like Tennessee and West Virgina, where you will find uninformed gullible people who do not take the time to read newspapers or research the Internet for truth. They are set in their ways and have never believed in change. They will always be 50 years behind the rest of the country and will live in isolation and ignorance.

Oh, and you can even give her florida, a state that Barak didnt campaign in, and you can give her MI, a state that his name wasnt even on the ballot, yet she wants these to count… geez Hillary, have some pride. Stop trying to change the rules. Quit tearing the party apart and wake up. Jump on the Obama train, theres room for you and Bill.

Obama is lost without his teleprompter:

I agree with you about Hillary. I believe that most people who support her are neither racist or sexist. I used to support her myself.

Until she started to become nasty, desperate, and just plain mean. Her Kitchen Sink strategy is what caused her campaign to go down the toilet. I don't think it's her, I blame her campaign manager and advisors.

I believe she would make a good president, but she made too many fatal mistakes in this campaign. I hope she and Bill have learned their lessons.

I wonder why in the world Hillary supporters hate Obama supporters, why do they say he's cheated when he followed the rule's, why do they say he attacks Hillary when in that ABC interview, he did NOT attack her when he had the chance to about snyper fire, instead he sided with her, saying he believe's it was simply a slip up, and to focus on the issues and not these gotcha game's.

I just don't get it…

OBAMA MIGHT GET THE popularity votes if voted for november but will lose electoral college cos he lost all the states that says it all to WHITE HOUSE.
…………………THINK…………..

Hillary can't win at this point. We here in Oregon are well educated and we support Obama. He is the only one who does not lie.

cnn rocks   May 19th, 2008 10:25 am ET

cnn,going by my blog name i deeply admire your network,but it seems you guys have an agenda to push clinton even when obama is leading esp wolfy blitzer,thank GOD for jack cafferty and anderson cooper they are the only reason millions in oregon watch your channel.

Joyce in Florida   May 19th, 2008 10:25 am ET

The last time I checked regarding Oregon, Obama is at 50% while Clinton is at 45% with 5% undecided. That is NOT a 10-point lead. I really hope that Oregon will be a surprise and that Senator Clinton will be closer than a 5-point lead by Obama. Senator Clinton should stay in the race to WIN!!!! She still is the stronger candidate to beat John McCain. I still believe and support you Hillary and keep on fighting all the way to the White House. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!

MD Houston   May 19th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Agree with Julie. McCain may not be our choice, but it would position Hillary for 2012.

Mike - Texas   May 19th, 2008 10:24 am ET

As an independant, I find it interesting that so many OBama supporters are painting themselves as "educated" elitists in this blog, while calling the people in West Virginia and Kentucky things like;

"racist"
"dumb hicks"
"racist, xenophobic, ethnocentric, uneducated, laughable simpletons "
"small percentage have a college education" In other words "dumb"

This is OBama's California "bitter" comment all over again, but just coming from his supporters!!!

DRE   May 19th, 2008 10:24 am ET

How can Hillary beat McCain when she can't beat Obama??????

Jacque   May 19th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Okay, I first have to address the comment about uneducated people following Hillary. Last time I checked, I hold a Master's Degree and I teach at a college…I'm not undeducated. What I am, is worried about how the average person will surivive.

I have nothing against Obama. The only thing that scares me, the man has no experience in the field. I find it quite interesting that he was elected by his people to serve them in the Senate..to date he has not done that. The majority of his term has been campaigining to make him the next Democratic president. Sorry, this dosen't say much for me.

Also, because I live in Pennsylvania does not make me a "redneck" nor does it make me "bitter". What it makes me is more aware that the problems that face the average person are better solved by someone who has actually been there.

To be honest, I was an Edwards supporter but sadly..he had to drop out..money. pretty scary you can't run for President unless you have money.

Will I vote for McCain? Heaven's no..the worse Democrat is better than one Republican with experience.

I just honestly don't want to end up living in a box or having to get a second mortgage just to get to work from the gas bill.

Kris from AZ   May 19th, 2008 10:24 am ET

I can respect alot of women out there are for Hillary. No question a qualified leader. If Obama takes the primary. Remember what our republican leader said. Mission accomplished. Mccain will run the same course Bush is. Think about it. this goes beyond feminist. This goes into huminist. Dems Unit either way with Hillary or Obama

Butch McGatto   May 19th, 2008 10:23 am ET

Big deal! The duelling banjo set will vote for Clinton in Kentucky as they did in West Virginia because of racial prejudice and overall ignorance. Given her pandering to the racist knuckledraggers since her loss in South Carolina, Mrs. Clinton should consider abandoning her New York senate seat and return to Arkansas (another yahoo state) to run for governor. She could seek spiritual guidance from her deceased mentor, Orval Faubus.

Mike   May 19th, 2008 10:23 am ET

Warning to all Superdelegates:

Obama is in the lead but can not finish the job… he is a weak general election candidate and this primary is proving that… he has peaked with his support (kids and black vote)… the problem he has is with the base of the democratic party "women"…

As a life long democrat if he loses just 3% of that vote he will lose in November… the current polls show 38% will not vote for him or stay home… He has more than a lot of work cut out for him and if he does not have Clinton on the ticket he will lose!!!

J   May 19th, 2008 10:23 am ET

Clinton supporters would vote for McCain because McCain has a closer platform to hers than Obama. McCain offers similar acceptance to illegals, similar strategy with terror, similar rhetoric with Iraq, similar strategy with international relations, even similar healthcare reform.

The only thing he differs on is lowering taxes for all and decreasing wasteful spending in the government.

Clinton is a moderate liberal, McCain is a moderate conservative. Obama is a far left foul ball. He can't win the presidency because he is too extreme for 60% of Americans.

We already have liars in the White House. Hillary has shown that her word is worthless. She and Barack Obama both agreed to NOT campaign in Florida and Michigan and only one of them was good to his word. Hillary really will SAY anything to get elected, but actions speak louder than dishonest words.

rachel   May 19th, 2008 10:22 am ET

I am so tired of this its all a ploy anyways. She will win big in kentucky and then these jerks of superdelegates will go over to Obama just to stick it to her. I watched good morning america and I was almost sick to my stomach, from Obama's lame excuse for why he now wears a flag pin, to Michelle's lie about how she feels about Hillary. Also while Obama says he's not a muslim thats fine but she should have added but all my fathers family are.

PA_Hill-fan   May 19th, 2008 10:21 am ET

The undemocratic caucus system of the democratic party puts Obama in the lead of delegates which is mostly from the red/republican states, the democrats can never win in the General Election. On the other hand, if you count the electoral votes from the States won by each candidate, Hillary Clinton has over 300 electoral votes to Obamas 217 votes. So you decide who should be the nominee for the President. A candidate who has no chance of winning the GE or the other candidate who has already exceeded the magic number 270 of the electoral votes. If you make a mistake now, it will cost you in the General Election.

Jkakunda   May 19th, 2008 10:21 am ET

shelly in IL   May 19th, 2008 10:21 am ET

I was listening to NPR news recently (a Chicago news radio station) and they did a study in WV asking most people why they didn't vote for Senator Obama and most people were stating that they didn't and will not vote for him in the future because he is a "black man" and "no black man should be telling a white man what to do". Now, if you are still not convinced that racism still exists and plays a part in this and in this country, then I don't know what elst to tell ya!

If I were Senator O, I would step down immediatly, because most people of this country are not genuin.

Obama has a movement of REAL change in this country that can not be stopped!!!! I don't understand why Hillary doesn't get on board and join the change!!! She could be VP and it would be a "dream team"!.

Haley Rodman Clemson   May 19th, 2008 10:20 am ET

No surprises here. Clinton wins in states with more moderate Democrats and Obama wins in states with more liberal Democrats. This is a brilliant plan for the primaries but how does it translate to success when running against someone who is more popular with moderates and independants and has, if not the support of, then indifference with conservatives? Can Obama win moderates with his ultraliberal platform? Will McCain finally gain the trust of conservatives?

So many questions and so many months to get answers. This is a really fun election cycle!!!

If you want another 4 years of the failed Bush plan vote for Mr. War MCcain. If you want the possibility of a new approach and direction vote for Obama. Its a new world and we need some new ideas.

Mike from Westchester   May 19th, 2008 10:19 am ET

To Uncle Sam posted: "What qualifies a person for the presidency?
Should it be how much one desires it? Or how much one has sacrificed for one's country?"

Try this: What qualifies someone to be President is their vision for the future of America and the world and their desire to fulfill that vision and ability to carry it out.

Obama has a vision of the future - McCain has a memory of the past.
They both have the desire to make us better.
Obama in his entire life trajectory and the incredible campaign he has built and run has demonstrated the ability to lead and achieve.

The Presidentcy is NOT AN ENTITLEMENT - not because you are next in line, not because you were a POW, and not because you are old.

Steve the Soothsayer   May 19th, 2008 10:19 am ET

If only they knew what they were voting for! Unlike Chris Mathews, I have yet to feel the tingle in my leg when Obama speaks. I'm still waiting to hear Obama explain why it is a "matter of fairness" to raise the income tax rate on capital gains to 28% when experience has shown that lower rates have consistently resulted in greater revenues.
One would think that Brian Williams might have asked him this question during his exclusive interview rather than inquiring of his reasons for wearing or not wearing a tie.

It's a free country. Feel free to vote for McCain. He won't win anyway, because there are not enough Republicans anymore.

They're so sick of Bush that they have become either Independent or Democrat.

Helena   May 19th, 2008 10:19 am ET

CNN why do you not report that 75,000 people came out to support the next President of the United States in Portland, Oregon on Sunday. It was a historic event. Clinton & McCain do not even come close to drawing this amount of support at their events.

OBAMA/WEBB 08

Newly Independent Oregon Lilarose   May 19th, 2008 10:19 am ET

Yep, 75,000 seems like alot of people, but considering that this location on the Willamette River in Portland was designed to accommodate large crowds, that Portland has several large Universities, that students from OSU and U of O have less than a two-hour drive to get to Portland, that the entire state of Washington is across the river–these things mean it is not surprising that Obama drew such a large crowd.

Lots of big rallies take place along the Willamette in Portland, so don't get too ga-ga over this.

Trustee   May 19th, 2008 10:19 am ET

This is why many believe a woman cannot be President. If they don't get their way then they'll throw a fit. If they can win the game then they'll throw all the pieces off the board.

This is not the right woman, and that's why she isn't winning the nomination. She though she was a shoe-in and now she has to use fuzzy math just to justify staying in and causing divisiveness. And you want her and Bill back in the white house? Or running Amok under a Presdient Obama?

All we can do is hope that when this is over the women voting for Hillary come to their senses. It's 50/50, you know what they say about a woman scorned? All reason goes out the door.

Dr. Truth, Boston   May 19th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Someone needs to remind Ms. Clinton of how primaries work. Yes everyone still gets to vote and because you vote at the end, your delegates still count just as much as thoose from Ohio and New Hampshire. But her leaving in no way makes those votes not count. She is using this rhetoric about making every vote count as an excuse to keep herself from being completely washed out. I think she should stay in as long as she likes but she has to STOP INVENTING ISSUES like make-every-vote-count. Of course they do! Its so minipulative and ugly. I suppose I should be used to that from her.

It is still unbelievable that the Dems are still split and still complaining. It doesn't matter how you slice it, black, over-educated, hardworking, old whites, young whites, latinos….blah, blah, blah…
Facts are facts. Rules are rules. Clinton is behind. She is not going to win.

If you are dedicated to Clinton, so be it. It only means that you are dedicated to a candidate and not We the People. The MAJORITY want change.

Peter Damoah-Afari   May 19th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Hillary is to KY and Obama is to OR. Issues to be addressed are the turn out ratio in these 2 states (that will dictate the leader in popular votes) and the winning margin (that will dictate the leader in delegates).

Rayshaun, New York   May 19th, 2008 10:17 am ET

I can't understand why so many of these racist as uneducated people are still voting against Obama by these margins in some of these states. Its proof that their are still plenty or racist bigots in this country who simply don't want to see a black man succeed. It makes me sick! But no amount of bigotry in the world is going to prevent this man from getting this nomination that he has won fair and square.

Debby   May 19th, 2008 10:16 am ET

Obama did get a huge turnout at his rally but I wonder if the band beforhand had anything to do with that since it seems to be his pattern before rallies.

Hillary has a huge lead in Kentucky and she is only behind 10 points in Oregon that isn't that bad. Maybe half the people that went to the rally are going to vote for Clinton hahaha.

Illinois   May 19th, 2008 10:16 am ET

How long is it going to take for Obama supporters to claim that Hillary's voters in Ky are racists???? It couldn't possibly be that they won't vote for him because he's not the best candidate.

Hillary has decreased his lead in Oregon by 10 points, so she's cut his lead in half. She's got the momentum now, and has had it since PA. The media just choose to ignore it so they can continue to inflat Obama's popularity. I guess that's what's expected when you're getting paid to promote one particular candidate. Obama has lost ground ever since March. If the DNC crowns him as the nominee, they will loose the GE and look like a bunch of idiots in the process.

Hillary is going to win the nomination and the GE. You can count on it.

What I find amazing is people who would write in Hillary Clinton, as if that will make a difference except to the people who will have to count the write in votes. If you don't like Obama and would rather have McCain, then vote that way. Don't waste your time and the time of those counting the ballots by writing in a name.

Let's put away our childish pride and unite behind whoever becomes the Democratic nominee and tell the Republicans that we don't want high gas prices, tax breaks for the wealthy or privatized social security. Those are all things you can count on if John McCain makes it to the White House.

If Florida and Michigan are not seated then Obama cannot claim to be democratically elected.

How can the voters of Florida and Michigan allow Obama to win the presidency when he was elected by a much smaller state like Oregon?

Either Hillary will stand as an Independent or Florida and Michigan will vote for McCain.

Avram (Yes I´m Jewish)   May 19th, 2008 10:16 am ET

It seems that some whites (and blacks but in less number) just can’t cope with the fact that Obama will be the next president of America. These folks peddle hate and try to find any excuse not to vote a African American into our highest office. Most prefer to ignore that as an American with a white mother and white family which took care of him most of his life, Obama effectively understands the two sides of the racial issue. Just think of it, if his term as president is successful, both whites and blacks will have no more excuses, especially those on both sides who live and thrive professing hate and bigotry. Will people like Rev. Wright and Rush Limbaugh be able to say all the stupid things they now say ? Think of it !!

For all those that are still screaming about FL and Michigan, I am sure at the end they will be seated. But, why did Hillary not start screaming about this and caring about it till she fell behind, how does that look to you, I know what it looks like to me.

Is it really going to matter if she wins Kentucky by a landslide? But hey, here is my prediction, I don't think KY will be a big win for her and I think Barack is going to blow her out in Oregon. We'll see.

I have never liked Hillary or Bill for that matter. They are both snake oil salesmen. I'm not a huge fan of McCain either, but he is better than Hillary so I totally understand why a Clinton fan would vote for McCain over their candidate because if this thing reverses and Hillary steals it, I too will vote for McCain.

The biggest problem I have with McCain is his support for the war in Iraq. I figure if he is elected, he will keep the war going but overturn Roe v Wade so the net loss of lives lost would equal out.

The mainia spin in Portland is amazing. Obama parked himself on the Willamette River city waterfront park on a weekend!! At least half those locals are there because it's their weekend entertainment spot, not because they made a trip to see him. 75,000 my foot!

It's funny to see parents and teachers to tell their kids to vote and take active in the democratic process. Now that the young voters are doing just that and picking a qualified guy who happens to be black. Then there is a problem. All of a sudden these kids are yuppies and don't know what their talking about.

I think we as adults should support youth voting, maybe trying something new is better for this country. We have already seen what Clinton has done for this country and I'm thankful for that.
But Clinton represents the same old politics and all over the country people are tired of it.

Hillary again has the blue collar vote and Obama has the college educated voted. Blue collar workers are stuck in hard times and Clinton is good at pandering to thier needs. I agree with many that Clinton supporters that are going to vote for McCain is down right dumb. Perhaps that os why many on this board state the uneducated are voting for Hillary. Do you know McCain will keep us in Iraq for who knows how many years, he has the opportunity to appoint a conservative judge which wil over turn Roe vs. Wade, etc. There are not that many major policy differences between Hillary and Obama. I understand many woman wanting a woman President but you will jeopardize so much with your silly pride.

Just another primary election day getting in the way of what we already know. Obama will face and defeat McCain in the general election.

Correction: SECOND biggest mistake. We already made the biggest mistake for voting for Bush (or have you forgotten so quickly?)

Truth Be Told   May 19th, 2008 10:14 am ET

to terry in fl - i am a taxpayer and i support obama, not because the color of his skin, nor his so-called "inexperience", nor because of his name, but because of his honesty and trustworthiness, his "smartness" and lack of baggage (or garbage) he's carrying into the people's house.

can you say the same thing for your candidate?

Jkakunda   May 19th, 2008 10:14 am ET

08 shows direclty the biggest american vice !! So you are not, to this point of time, free !! It is as if America is another Arabian Continent in leadership style. The Clintons and the Bushes as Potent Royal families. Why dont you declare the Sultanate of the USA? Sorry for Obama or McCain! Even if you win! You will constantly be tounted by the Clinton Royal Family, especially eyeing with a bully fight! 2012!

NOBAMA NOWAY

Its Hillary or I am voting for McCain

Ed   May 19th, 2008 10:13 am ET

She doesn't get enough delegates to win the nominatin and neither does he. Either way the party bosses and not the people decide the candidate. Why have primaries at all? If she wins the overall popular vote and we don't disenfranchise Michigan and Florida voters she wins the nomination. The party bosses are just ready to move on from the Clintons and anxious to have an African-American nominee. The news media love it too. Who cares what the people want.
