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.

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.

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.

»Hillary "Fake" Clinton :- GOODBYE!BYE! BYE!...STOP DAMAGING the Democratic Campaign!...The great Obama already WON the nomination!...Everybody KNOWS that by now!! Go Obama!!

Sorry to Say Sen. Obama – If Dems does not make wise chioce then

John McCain 2008 and Hillary 2012.

Consider this the "wake up call" for unity...

it's time...

it's way past time...

...the buzzer on the alarm clock has been ringing for weeks.

@ dawson from Markham, Canada
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.

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.

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.

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!

Young, college and educated? Not now but fixing to be in November.

amazing that fools are still cheering for Hillary when she has no chance to win.... talk about a waste of time and effort!

SHE ALREADY LOST THE RACE, FOLKS

OBAMA-EDWARDS '08

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!

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.

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.

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?

Julie, you are what is wrong with America!! GOD Dawn America!!

You are who Rev. Wright is talking about!!

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.

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.

O/08

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.

»Hillary "So Fake" Clinton is NOT good enough to be President!»Go great Obama DEFEAT that Annoying woman!!...ENOUGH of LIES!!...ENOUGH of Clintons!!...Go Obama!

To the person proposing an Obama/Powell or Obama/Rice ticket:

Powell and Rice are Republicans! If they team with anyone, it will be McCain!

I hope there is a McCain/Powell or McCain/Rice ticket.

That is a winning combination, for sure!

Powell and Rice have experience.

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

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?

Hey Julie....wow, how can you be so CLUELESS!!!!! Even Hillary doesn't want McCain. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! OPEN YOUR MIND!!!!!

75,000 people in Oregon and you don't report it? What kind of news organization are you guys?

Whoever said Obama cheated to get where he is knows absolutely nothing and proves by voting for McCain that theyre little children who cry when they cant get what they want. I want your kids in Iraq for the next 5 years.

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.

Michael, uneducated people prefer Clinton? I suppose you mean non-college grads. Well here is a college grad informing you to come down from your pedestal. I fully support Clinton, as does many high school grads whom you consider uneducated. Get a life, no wonder you support such an elitist candidate.

McCain '08
Hillary '12

NoBama

If Barack was white, he wouldn't still be in this race! He's inexperienced and ill-informed. Great combination to be our Commander-in-Chief!

Go Hillary...all the way to the convention! Don't stop now, there's just no reason.

Remember Obamabots-If he's the nom. you still need to get the Hillary supports on board-and after reading weeks of these blog entries-Obama supporters have done nothing but slam her.

Have fun now corting that vote-I am for Hillary and WILL NOT vote for Obama-he lost my vote! onto McCain

Have you seen this huge crowd in Oregon 75000. Did any candidate to the Presidency ever seen something this big. That's tell everything.

Read something interesting this morning...A report stated that approximately 130 million people will vote in the presidential election. About 25 million will vote in the 18-24 age bracket whereas 105 million will vote in the 42-72 age bracket.

Looks like McCain will win.

Either way. I am for Obama 08 for Senate ReElection. Let him prove first how he can change and unify.

Yeah, its a lot of agent provocateurs here, pretending to be Hillary supporters and ranting about Obama cheating...which is the first clue. People, ignore these Operation Chaos folks...they're in the tinfoil hats trying desperately to hurt Barack Obama's candidacy because their leader told them to do so....just ignore'em.

Not all people in Kentucky supporting Obama can vote tomorrow. Only Dem can vote in this primary. No independents. I tried to change from independent to Dem so I could vote for him – but Kentucky's laws said No. I am not the only person that tried to change their are thousands of Kentuckians that want Senator Obama to become the next President of the US.

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

Oregon, VOTE for HILLARY don't VOTE for OBAMA like what the REPUBLICANS want you to do, because republicans know that OBAMA is weak and he will lose in November.

HILLARY 08

Black Republicans will not be voting for Obama because he is black. We will support the Republican nominee.

However, it appears that White Democrats will not be supporting their nominee in the General Election!

Stop believing that Republicans are racist, it is the White rural non-educated democrats that are racist.

African Americans, you need to join the Republican Party!!

»Go Obama!...Defeat that FAKE Woman!...People in the great state of Oregon :- Well done.Obama is the...man.

Aha Obama lost 10 points in Oregon , Is he the Nominee ?
Hillary 08

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.

Where are all of the educated Obama supporters? I don't see any here.

Chill out folks !! Come November we will choose and all face the consequences for our choice. It all boils down to that !!

Us Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama.

Being a woman had very little to do with Hillary's demise. Being a liar and a fraud is what did her in. Thank goodness the Clinton Circus is about to close.

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.

Americans for McCain '08

Once again the Shrill Hill Shills threaten to vote for McCain. Enjoy your 9-0 Supreme Court as it dials women's rights back to the Flintstones.

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

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. OBAMA 08-12

If you would rather vote for McCain than Obama when Hilary does not get this nomination – how can you call yourself a Dem? All you are is fanatical, and ridiculous. You personally disgust me.

RE: Gloria Boca Raton, Florida May 19th, 2008 10:03 am "Women for Hillary!!! It is our turn"

Voting for someone because they have great hair, or because you'd like to have a beer with them, or just because they are a woman and it's "your turn" is what is wrong with this country.

I have no problem voting for a woman. I have a HUGE problem voting for a lying, deceptive, non-transparent, egomanic, entitled woman, however. It's sad you can't see a difference.

I just looked at hillary's web site. she only talks about the popular vote.
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.
lie cheat steal, anything to try to win. to bad it won't wrok!!!

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!

Hurry, hurry - let's ask "golden boy" Obama to rush on over to the terrorists in Iran, Lybia, Hamas, Burma, etc. to TALK to them about it. 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.

Hillary 2012

14 MORE DAYS TO GO GO OBAMA MT =WIN SD=WIN OR=WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S ABOUT DELEGATES PEOPLE ! GET Over it1

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

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.

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.

I just wish we could start over.Hillary,Obama and McCain stink to high heaven.

Yea you are Paul, learn to read. Obama is at 28%, meaning 30 point lead. Duh.

It would tickle the heck out of me if she would pull Oregon out. But, we know that Oregon is way to liberal!! Although 50 to 40 Obama not doing as well as I thought he would!!

GO HILLARY!!

She could win all of KY delegates and she is still far from what she needs. If the roles were reversed people would be all over Barak pleading with him to quit. No one is saying Hillary should quit, their just saying ITS OVER.... because it is over.

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.

P.S. we dont need you on the ticket, we have plenty of conservative Dems that can fill in...

mcc supporters, please google: mccain rhinestone hero

Julie, you are a Republican operative. I bet you name is Karl. pathetic.

Go away Hillary. You can't beat McCain or unite this country.

Every vote counts. Aren't we all taught that? The hate spewing Obama supporters need to remember that and just let the process play itself out.

Listen to the young generation...they are the future...!

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...

does anyone else realize that Hillary is winning due to racism in these states? Pa, W Va, Ky polls all show that 20% of the people have race as an issue... and those are just the ones who will admit it!!

CNN, why do you close the pro=Obama articles. I wanted to make a comment on the 80,000 ppl who wanted to see the next POTUS!! But there was only one comment posted and guess what people, it was an Obama basher, ONE comment people. That says it all about who CNN is for; I also wonder what CNN stands to gain from so much approval of HRC?? Make me wonder?

I will not plead for you to post as this will be auto-deleted.

it would be so wonderfull if america change is point of view regarding life and the world.if america change and become honest and respecfull and of corse realist,the world will change,peace will come and we will have a litle bit of happynest around us.Go obama!!!God is with you.wish you the best and God protection.
Gods eyes

A NEW MEXICAN

i agree with you. plus
a real dem. will not vote republican

so if you are a real dem. then get behind barack or have another 4 years of bush

Hillary can't get ahead even with KY.If you count MI and FL she still loses.The party just wants her to finish the race so her supporters can see for themselves and can't place blame on anyone or anything else.She has to try at least to make the campaign debt before she gos.

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.

A New Mexican, It isn't a threat....it is a promise!!

GO HILLARY!!

If Hillary isn't the nominee WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR McCAIN!!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

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

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!!!

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

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.

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

We want a full-blooded American for President."Rise Hillary"rise

The big rally in Oregon was because of Bruce Springstien? How many stayed after his performance? I will write in Hillary Clinton in November

obama SAYS COMMENTS ABOUT HIS wife ARE off LIMITS . WHAT PART OF THAT IS NOT FUNNY ,welcome to the real world CRY BABY, DOES this guy ever stop CRYING.????need to grow up if you want to play in the BIG LEAGUES. get some experience ,stop crying then come back and take it like a man.

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.

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!!!

Hey CNN

I guess you missed the 80,000 that showed up for an Obama rally. I guess that isnt newsworthy.

But Hillary smiled when a baby was carried to baptism... now thats news

Not doing political communications

You guys are so transparent

As unpleasant as this Primary season may be, let us not forget that it is DEMOCRACY in action. We should be proud – not so critical.

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.

Keep milking it CNN, you're going to miss her when she's gone.

DUMB OL' RACSITS FOR HILLARY 08!!!

HILLARY OR 4 MORE YEARS OF WAR WHOOO HOOOO!!!

300,000 votes in KY..totalling 4 teeth...congrats Hillary...

I'd like to say a royal "up yours" to all the Clinton hating Obamabots.You are the reason your man won't get my vote in November.

Obama=Statesman

Hillary=Yuck!!

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.

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.

Shut 'em down Clinton!

CNN please post!!!!
Shameful, disgraceful, I will never watch your newscast.
Report the 75K+ people who came out to see Obama, report it CNN. Are you scared?? Is Wolf scared??

I've been reading these ticker posts all weekend..Lots of Repubs in Dem clothing out here posting how they will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.. Operation Chaos continues. What's the newest Obama lie? He part of the new world order? LOL.. Pathetic.

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.

Gloria! Stop behaving like a baby! You are grown up. Just keep calculation for yourself to enter the presidential race in 2012. I will be backing you.

Hillary:
We are counting on you... you and only you can win this one for us in November.

Thanks for not letting us down!!!

Margaret:

Not only do I not have "buyers remorse" for voting for Obama, I'll also be ready to vote for him again in 2012!

I bet most people who voted for Bush have "buyers remorse." In fact, they want a refund!

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.

I'm getting a little upset with CNN!!! Top of headline should have read
"75,000 People Gather to Hear Obama"!!! Now that impressive!! Very, very impressive. The republicans are so scared of him they are trying to back Hillary. 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"!.

Clinton wins the white retard vote. Why is she so proud of this?

May each candidate have a day that they can be truly be proud of at the end of the day and they are all alone. The country is about the people and not the candidate. We are all in this country for the good of the country.

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!!!

TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS, NO WRITE IN,,,WE HAVE TO VOTE McCAIN, PLEASE REMEBER THIS, 2 FOR 1

OBAMA HAS CHEATED TO GET WHERE HE IS ,,HE DESERVES NOTHING!!!!!!!

What about OH? And popular vote?? Yes she will be in lead after June 3rd.

Is anyone else unsurprised that uneducated people prefer Clinton?

DEMOCRATICS NOTE........................................................................
.................................................NATIONAL CONVENTION OR SUPERDELEGATES NOTE...................................
...............................................IT is a wise decision to pick clinton and make obama VP,BECAUSE clinton won in the states that determines who wins WHITE HOUSE.....FLORIDA,MICHIGAN,PENNYSLAVIAN,OHIO,CALIFORNIA AND THE REST.....................THE BIG STATES FOR ELECTORAL COLLEGE....................................
DEMOCRATICS NOTE:........................................
.................................THE TICKET MUST BE................ HILLARY / OBAMA ....................OR ................................OBAMA / HILLARY if they still want it like that or MCCAIN PRESIDENCY

Do we really want a president that will break down and cry when things are not going there way? Or one that has a history of lies and deciet? If your answer is yes then vote for Hillary. 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.

"Educated Americans and people abroad see Hillary supporters as racist, xenophobic, ethnocentric, uneducated, laughable simpletons who embody everything that is deplorable and negative about the United States. " posted by JS
-------------------------------
J.S., that is a very ignorant and false statement.

Signed,
A Hillary supporter who, most likely, has more education than you and would absolutely vote for a Black candidate–just not Obama.

Hillary is smarter than you, too. She holds a law degree from Yale.

it's 58 – 28 percent, which is a 30 point lead, in Kentucky....learn how to read, above commenter.

Why would she drop out because they take a snapshot in time of the poles. I believe not 1 superdelegate has caste a vote so far. When its over and she gets the popular vote, do you really think the supers will overturn the people.

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.

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.

"Gloria Boca Raton, Florida:
It is either Hillary or no vote for me. Not voting for Obama. Will walk away from the party on that for sure. "

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.

In other news, Kentuckians are voting for someone that has no chance of winning. Might as well vote for Huckabee.

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

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.

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.

If Mrs. Clinton gets into office the end of the world will come sooner then is supposed to.

How does anyone know if Obama will be a mistake for America? It seems that no one has any answers.

Also beware of the Republicans on here pretending to be Hiliary supporters.

At this stage in the game, where Obama is ahead on all counts and the math shows she cannot overtake him, her lust for power is ugly.

I wonder why so many people still vote for the "presumptive loser"? Is it because they don't feel the "presumptive winner" is ready to lead this country?

I think its officially time for the " No State Left Behind legislation" can KY and WV really be stuck in the 50's ?

I love it when the Dems bicker! Vote McCain in '08 and end the looney, liberal legislation like Roe v. Wade.

Why do Obama fans have to put down KY and WV?? They call them racist, but dare us say the same thing about the wins Obama got in Southern States where all the black people voted for him (85-91% range)

Hillary suggested I look at this as a hiring process.

Well, I asked you about your level of experience and you lied to me. When I point out your "mis-statement", you laughed it off. When I asked you about how well you work with others and take advice from experienced people - you said you don't pay attention to experts.

I think we have covered enough information in this interview- Thank you, but we will not be in touch with you.

TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS, NO WRITE IN,,,WE HAVE TO VOTE McCAIN, PLEASE REMEBER THIS, 2 FOR 1

OBAMA HAS CHEATED TO GET WHERE HE IS ,,HE DESERVES NOTHING!!!!!!!

She's ahead because West VA and Kentucky are racists.

Why is it that the pro-Obama blogs are always laced with sexist commentary? As a woman wondering if I should vote for Obama in November...............the answer is hell no.

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.

oregon will put obama over the top ,in delegates.clinton will win ky.,big,so, she can go out on a high note.super ds will flock to obama,after tuesday.

message to dems: put up someone electable, hillary, or emrance president john mccain. let's not be foolish. purists who won't settle end up with nothing. time be pragmatic and get behind hillary. obama for vp and the he stays in after she's senile.

it's about winning the electoral college, that's the math we need to focus on. if it was so over the superdels would have jumped behind obama. it's a tie and will be decided by the superdels who understand who and where we need to win to take the white house

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.

Bush..Clinton..Bush..Clinton??? STOP THE BROKEN RECORD!! O '08

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).

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.

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.

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.

Why is it that the pro-Obama blogs are always laced with sexist commentary? As a woman wondering if I should vote for Obama in November...............the answer is hell no.

The longer she stays in, the more hurtful it's gonna be for her when she's finally beaten. She's probably wondering how the heck did she fall behind so far and she's a former 1st lady..lol

Obama 08'/12'

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.

Two things are certain:

Hillary is not a quitter.
Obama can't win in November.

Tim May 19th, 2008 10:02 am ET

this group that supports her is the beer drinking, bar hopping, race fan group that votes for a name rather than to use their brains and research.
====================================================
This is a typical Obama supporter. My friend, do you want to offend your brothers and still expect them to vote for Obama? Think about it!!! The margins are not small that you can ignore them.

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.

HILLARY 08

We have on one hand a naive presidential hopeful who promises change, while on the other an experienced heroic statesman with a proven record of change? Am I missing something?

Americans for McCain '08

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 !!

This may be new or old,Obama said is a party uniter,i will like him to unite the party first . Put HER in the ticket with him to get my VOTE.

Senator Clinton will win the popular vote WHEN Florida and Michigan are counted. See you all Obama trolls in the white house with our first female president!!!!!
She will make the government work again.
Obama is same old politics of money power arrogance and greed!!!!!!!

Another "big" win? I'm sorry, while Sen Clinton may win by a wide margin, Kentucky, like West Virginia, hardly constitutes "big".

TIM: THAT'S ODD. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BLACK COMMUNITY. VOTE FOR OBAMA JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK AND DON'T BOTHER WITH ANYTHING ELSE.

VOTE FOR THE BROTHA!...AND BECAUSE MAMA OPRAH TOLD YOU TOO! ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!

TERRY IN FL- Don't try to help Hillary by saying it is a hiring process. Who wants to hire someone who can't run her own campaign and is working in the red. A business would not stay afloat in a situation like that.

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.

Gloria Boca Raton, Florida:

Well, then you can sleep late on Election Day.

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.

Eric:

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

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?

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!

Go Hillary! Keep up the fight!

NOBAMA NOWAY

Its Hillary or I am voting for McCain

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.

The people of Oregon need Rev. Wrights prayers. GO HILLARY!!

SEPARATED AT BIRTH! CNN/FOX NEWS!

message to dems: put up someone electable, hillary, or emrance president john mccain. let's not be foolish. purists who won't settle end up with nothing. time be pragmatic and get behind hillary. obama for vp and the he stays in after she's senile.

Paul:

He's also winning in Oregon, which is a lot like Iowa. And he's further ahead, even after Hillary has won WV. He can lose every other state, and still win the nomination.

Even if she wins the last primaries by 60% to 40% she still will not have gained on Obama. Hillary's time is over.

Will all the Hillary supporters stop with the crying, complaining, and blaming Obama for Hillary's loss. She did this to herself, I didn't hear any Hillary supporters complaining when the Rev Wright episode was occuring. Just stop! Fred, Sharon MN, California Girl, and any woman in FL and MI...........GO AWAY and VOTE MCCAIN....please!

I have read the comments about making no sense to vote McCain if not Hillary. I totally disagree, I wouldn't want Obama to be the president and have a selective mandate. Penalize parents who can't afford kids' insurance is adding insult to injury. Growing up in a low income family myself, I know how difficult it is. Mandate to have insurance for everyone reduces the overall cost, so it has a significantly better chance both parents and kids will be insured. Then, no mandate is better than just penalizing to the parents. So, Hillary first, McCain second, never the one who claimed to grow up in a poor family but doesn't understand the pain!

I've been voting in presidential elections since 1976, and I don't recall the apparent nominee still getting his clock cleaned (in a primary) after virtually everyone said he'd locked it up. What gives here? Hillary has a broader base of support – that's clear! The super-delegates lack the courage to be pragmatic and are only thinking about fall-out with Obama's black supporters should they recognize this and go with Hillary.

Obama draws a crowd of 75,000 people, and this is what CNN posts. CNN should rename itself to the Clinton News Network. This article is a joke.

Haven't the people of this country had enough of these type in office.
Another Clinton, come on people. Think before you vote this time.

In my view, Hillary has an apparent drinking problem. She regularly takes shots of whiskey and drinks beer. A Lady should not indulge in strong drink if she is running for office.

Obama will be the nominee and WV and Kentucky will not change the race.

The voters know this primary is over – Why does CNN and the media continue to write about an issue that has a winner – Some of CNN reporters should try CNN "Do the Math" – It is a huge long shot for Hillary to come back – Please CNN move on to the General Election – Let Hillary bow out is style – She does not want this coverage.

Go Obama!!!!

OBAMA/08

Gloria in Boca!

Go girl. The super delegates and the Dem. party think we are bluffing when we say we won't vote for Obama. What a surprise they have in store for them come November.

No way in hell I'd ever vote for a republican, but wouldn't vote for Obama either.

Let the chips fall where they may and for those who say not voting for the Dem. is a vote for McCain, well, maybe so, but maybe sooner or later the Dems. will FINLALLY GET IT!

The big rally in Oregon was because of Bruce Springstien? How many stayed after his performance? I will write in Hillary Clinton in November....

CNN is the only place I can still get info on HRC, as most of the other, better national news channels are dropping her stories! Did everybody see the rally in Oregon, that was really cool looking!!!

One more thing, why is KY going to vote for HRC when she has no chance, NO Money, no supporters???? Why??? To show the courty what we already know??? Have fun red-necks.

what happen to his 15pt average in oregon

GO HILLARY

So? No surprise, in either case. She's been expected to win KY, he's been expected to win OR. The news would be a poll that showed the opposite.

And Hillary supporters, Obama certainly WON'T win against McCain if all of you pout off in protest and vote either for McCain or write in Hillary or, worse yet, don't vote at all. Get a grip. Look at what's important in the long run, not just your personal preferences.

I read an interesting article yesterday that said 2004 was tailor made for Hillary but she didn't run because she didn't want to take on Bush. The article went on to say that had she ran then, she would have won and been gearing up for her second term instead of losing at her first run.

Guess you read the tea leaves wrong Hillary. You should have had the courage to run against George Bush. You are about 4 years too late.

CNN: Why doesn't your headline that directs viewers to this page say Clinton and Obama both headed for big wins? Bias?

Paul, how blind are you? Why can't we as easily say that the North Carolina Obama win was because of a completely racist black vote? Why the double standard?

Why is that the BO supporters always claim it is race when Billary supporters say they are not going to vote for BO if he getrs the dems nomination. Have you people ever stopped to think that maybe they do not want a SOCIALIST as president because that is what he is. Just because you are too afraid to admit it do no blame others for their willingness to accept that fact.

All 6 of them. Ah, truth in journalism is alive and well.!

You can't judge a book by its cover. You can't judge a person by what they say they will do just to get your votes. Actions speak louder than words. Remember the comments and actions made by Obama's wife and pastor that were videoed. Why is it that McCain would rather go up against Obama than Clinton? Sure win for McCain in November.

Funny, all of my comments are awaiting moderation. Way to go CNN. The usual biased reporting!

Yea, Oregon say much about the entire Obama campaign... the well-educated (elitists) and the young (the spoiled generation). Wow – our country is headed for tremendous change while we sit and wonder... why do so many overseas hates us so much??

I will NEVER vote for Obama. He has nothing in common with me and never has.

The DNC has a dilemma on their hand with two strongly supported candidates now. The Democratic Party is very divided now thanks to S. Ted Kennedy's endorsement of S. Obama. Yes, S. Ted Kenndy has shown the seed of division in this Democratic primary process in my opinion and the DNC contributed to that division by ignoring the voters of Florida and Michigan just because their state legislators ignored the technical rules of the DNC. It seems like the DNC has played right into the hand of the RNC!!! Bravo!!!

can't the dnc and superdelegates see that hillary is the stronger candidate. they have shoved obama on america since the start ot the primaries. hillary supporters will never vote for him, why should we care if the democats are unified, after the way they treated hillary. hillary should run as an independent and take her voters with her. if not vote mccain. nobama ever!

Big deal....she still can't win....won't win.

OBAMA '08

What does this tell us? There are a lot of dumb people in West Virginia and Kentucky. That is Hillary's most loyal demographic. Dumb people.

The people know that ALL politicians say things to get votes. There is no such thing as "new politics". Only some people believe that a guy who called criticism "distraction" is a good guy. Open your eyes, anything against Obama is "distraction". When Obama criticizes others and sends out negative mails, he still claims that he runs a positive campaign. You can argue that his aides did it instead of Obama himself. But if he can't control his aides, how can he be the president?

Barack whines and moans constantly about the press, republicans, etc., pickin on his wife. NEWSFLASH OBAMA! She is now a public figure and had better get used to living in a fish bowl. If she doesn't want every word that leaves her lips being scrutinized then tell her to SHUT UP!

If she can't handle the criticism, stay home and zip it honey!

OBAMA & CLINTON is the winning ticket. Otherwise McCain will win.

Unless KY, PA and Wv gets her most states won, popular vote, and most delegates, Obama is still in the lead!!!

Go Hillary!!!

It is either Hillary or no vote for me. Not voting for Obama. Will walk away from the party on that for sure.

Women for Hillary!!! It is our turn – no Obama's!!!! And he will not win against McCain.

G

this group that supports her is the beer drinking, bar hopping, race fan group that votes for a name rather than to use their brains and research.

clinton headed toward big win-–AND? what does this mean in the great scheme of things....nothing.

I wish CNN would poll its readers thusly:

If you already voted in a primary, do you:

Have buyer's remorse for voting for Hillary Clinton?

Have buyer's remorse for voting for Barack Obama?

This is a question that will be impossible to ask in the general election exit polls. If we are ever going to have a sense of the existence and/or extent of buyer's remorse in the Dem primaries, it has to be asked soon.

Obama had nearly 80,000 people at one of his campaign rallys yesterday. Hillary draws thousands at her rallies. Grandpa McCain draws a few hundred. Hmm. He is a tired old political hack with ties to big business and lobbyists and a supporter of Bush's policies and Bush's administration. Away with this.
McCain was also involved in the Keating Five banking scandel and he walked away with millions of taxpayers dollars...
Once a crook, always a crook.

even Fox noise is headlining the 75k+ crowd Obama drew in Portland yesterday. CNN your bias is showing!

CNN you are the most biased disgrace of a news station. Second to Faux news. Why would you run all these lies about Clinton and fail to mention Obama rallying 80,000 ppl in Oregon.
Your Clinton News Network is a loser, just like YOUR chosen candidate. Thank God average ppl are looking for the truth and 80,000 ppl in Oregon have proven it.

Go HIllary. If you don't get the nomination, I'm writing your name on the ballot in November.

Who cares who has what lead is it over yet?

It's getting freaken old

Obama 08!!!

Polls are decieving.... Obama had more white faces in a crowd of 75,000 in Oregon...

Clinton had 300 in Kentucky...

Big Difference... and if the media doesn't do something to offset reality then they won't have anything to report on..
Try reporting on the economy and the war ... the number 1 and 2 issues of people..OR McCain your olden boy with lobbyist issues.

Yes...We..Can... in Montana

It s over for Hillary BIG LEAD or not! Obama will win the nomination and the White House. Maybe in 2016 Hillary??
The sooner Hillary quietly exits and supports Obama the better it will look for her in the public's eye.
Now she is simply seen as a spoiler, complainer, and attention grabber..!!!
HIllary, it is OVER for you!!!

polls polls polls, and to believe CNN polls, it is best to read the enquirer. I am sure, Wolf, already claimed victory for clinton in KY he always does, .............. no matter what the numbers says, he will always say BIG win for Hillary and never never once say that for obama even if he has taken a state for 70% of the vote..

that is clinton network news..

What are the policy differences between the two candidates that that lead to this dicotomy?

If it is a guns-versus-butter argument around the price of gasoline consider this ...

It would seem that our government's ability to stop buying oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is reportedly 97% full, is a much bigger lever that could favorably impact the price of oil by removing demand.

Have any of these erudite candidates (Republican or Democrate) evaluated that? Few see a Gas Tax Holiday as a REAL solution.

It would take too long to get enacted
Has no restriction that would stop Oil Companies from simply raising their prices to the prior market level and pocketing the difference
Does not take into account the impact on highway construction jobs, which the federal gasoline tax funds.

Leadership has authority around the Strategic Petroleum Reserve though. Your thoughts thinking Americans?

Obama/Powell or Obama/Rice

Something about putting those two faces together on the picture that scares me to no end. Please don't do that again..
I really don't want them two to team up.

Obama/Edwards 08/12

You can attribute the latest big wins by Clinton in WV and Kentucky to a bunch of white racist voters, but remmber that Obama won by huge margins in other very "white" states (like Idaho) : the only difference is that those contests were held several months ago, before people started learning more about who Obama really is.

It's almost 6 months until the election : Obama's popularity is already going down. Wait until the REAL dirt starts to fly.

Perhaps Kentucky and Puerto Rico will be the game-changers that Hillary has been talking so much about since Super Tuesday.

*sigh*

Please quit encouraging her and let this lady fade into obscurity with some dignity.

So basically, the intelligent people follow Obama and the un-educated people follow Clinton. Well what I want to know is why do these blue collar white folks think that the Clinton's are like them. I can give you a 109 million reasons to why they are not like you.

Well anyway, Obama has done it, he is the winner, I just wish that the Clinton campaign just realizes that they have lost........the only person that can tell her that it is over is not even her husband but it's Howard Wolfson........the big mouth "A' hole of the campaign.

Hillary, sine you like boxing, you remind me when Sugar Ray Leonard came out of retirement and fought Hector Camacho and after the fight of 5 rounds Sugar Ray Leonard had to be carried out of the ring as he was dazed and had ribs broken...............get out now.

GO HILLARY !!! YOU ARE THE PEOPLE CHOICE ,ITS ONLY THE MALE PUNDITS AND THE MEDIA ,WHO HAVE CHOSEN OUR PRESIDENT,THEY SAY IT ISN'T SEXISM WHAT A SHAM ,IT'S SO OBVIOUS,THEY FEAR A WOMAN INTELLECT. I DONT WATCH THE NEWS OR CNN ANYMORE ,EXCEPT FOR LOU DOBBS AND ANDERSON COOPER.

CNN why have you prevented me from posting a comment for three days. Is it because I am a Hillary supporter?

2 weeks left.

It doesn't matter how wide the margin is in Kentucky for Clinton, the primary race is over. Obama is gearing up for what will be a landslide victory over McCain in the fall. It's time for democrats to close ranks and go on about the business of ridding the country of the disaster that the republicans have wrought on the nation's military, economy and its standing in the world.

Does it really matter if she's ahead in KY? KY, like WV, is hardly important. If they were, they wouldn't be at the bottom of the primary calendar.
KY, like WV, is highly racist.
KY, like WV, is 90% white and only a small percentage have a college education.
KY, like WV, is certainly not a good indicator of middle America.
Of course, Hillary will win here. Who cares?

Educated Americans and people abroad see Hillary supporters as racist, xenophobic, ethnocentric, uneducated, laughable simpletons who embody everything that is deplorable and negative about the United States. And let us not forget about the other category of Hillary supporters. Great Women leaders like Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, Mother Theresa and many others never showed such a shameful lack of character, dignity, humility, and honor that has been displayed by Hillary every single day for the better part of this past year. Hillary is no great example for women. She is a disgrace to those women who have struggled and achieved not only equality, but respect and success; without resorting to self-entitlement tempered with self-pity as Hillary has done whenever her coronation as queen has been interrupted.

Forgot to add: OBAMA/WEBB 08/12 followed by 8 yrs of Webb/?

The truth is, if he doesn't take her on his ticket as VP, we will lose in Nov. Only united Dem. party can do it, and that means both his and her voters coming togather, unless either Obama or hillary supporters want McCrazy. Don't expect people from either candidate just flock to the pile, espcially Hillary's (since they are so-called Reagan Dems). So all of you STOP bickering at eachother and move on geez. Get the dream ticket online anbd let's win in Nov.

America is about to make the biggest mistake ever if Obama becomes President.

So after these two primaries are over tomorrow night and they have basically spit the available pledged delegates the arguement will be what?

Instead of focusing on candidates, consider groups of voters – in particular, those in Oregon and Kentucky? Whose example might be worth following? Suppose your choice was between people who were (a) educated and idealistic or (b) uneducated and racist?

Think about this as a hiring decision, the interview has all but ended and we all can see that you won't get the job. It's time to go home Hillary.

Go Barack!!!!!

cnn, please report the real breaking news as of yesterday. 75,000 people came to see Obama in our state which shows the overwhelmingly support. why don't you show that amazing picture. also, according to your fact check Clinton is counting two states that lost their qualifications.

obama 08

As bias as usaual, your ticker left off the part about Obama and the lead in the polls in Oregon. Whatever, CNN. She has lost and its been on the merits and no homemade math matrix can discount the facts. Your coverage over the past 24 hours has been shameful at best. Also, I see you failed to mention about Obama standing up for his wife and calling the GOP attacks on her low. I guess that doesn't fit into the Clinton "victim card" slant today.

That's fine but, but what they are not telling is that both states she's won big, is because the republicans are vote=ing for her.. THATS DIRTY politics.

She can't drop out without appearing weak, so she's going to run this into the ground using the same, tired old slogans until June 3rd comes. Then she can say that she went all the way, and whatever self-serving, pandering crap she wishes to throw out there to save her poliical career.

Seriously, look at the prtimary map and how her states divide the country in two... there's a bit of irony for you to chew on CNN.

Looks like another split decision.Looks like a little racial tension carrying over into Kentucky also.

Should Obama ask Hillary to be V.P., IF he is in fact the nominee, I hope she declines. She sould sit back, let the Democratic Party fall on its face, along with Obama, run against McBush in '12 and if not elected then, so be it. The Democratic Party just never seems to learn!

The Republican Party is imploding, this is the best chance we have had to take control of Congress and the White House in decades and they wioll blow it. So weak and so ignorant. (not as ignorant as the republicans as has been proven over the last 8 years, but close!)

I never trusted the so called "vote by mail" procedure. Too many negative possibilities exist. I guess the racism spreads over from WV to KY as well. A shame, here we are in 2008 and some white folks still harbor those awful values.

And the point is ???
Obama 08-12

I would just caution those Obama supporters that their man (who does look like he will win the nomination) is not the unanimous choice of Democratic voters. Often we hear their arrogance such as "get out of the race" or "Obama or no one." If/when he wins the nomination it will be one of the closest margins in years.

The "Rock Star" vs "the wicked witch". Well I have supported the "wicked witch" since day one. I can relate to her ideals. As for the "Rock Star", I still have no idea what he stands for, other than "change", which has not yet been defined.

Clinton is human and I can relate to her, as for Obama, he is not in touch with the average American. As an average American, I must encourage you to vote for Clinton over Obama.

Clinton / Edwards "09"

I guess Hillary leads the redneck demographic. Maybe her politics of fear mongering will do wonders for Barrack when he's in the general election against McCain. Way to go Hil. Your party has a shot and you are diminishing it. Stay in it to win it (for McCain!)

I disagree with Barack's decision not to campaign in West Virginia & Kentucky. Each of these states should not be left out. The Obama supporters must feel disappointed.

We still need to reconcile our party differences before the convention.

To all of you bitter Clinton fans:

This is not a sporting event. You don't root for the team that knocked your team out. It is about positions on issues. There is no doubt that Clinton and Obama share similiar thoughts on the issues.

So, when you say "I am staying home or voting for McCain", all you do is prove that it is a popularity contest for you. Further identifying your stupidity.

If you agree with Clinton's policies, I wuld hope you think those policies would be best for the country. If that is the case then, Obama would b the next best option. Not McCain.

Stop being babies, grow up and do what is best for the country. You spiteful immature crybabies!

Everyone, please ignore these people. They are about as much as a democrat as Rush Limbaugh. They spew hate on every single blog including the one about the health of a long time democrat Ted Kennedy. If that's not evidence that they are not true democrats then I don't know what is. They continue to say that they are life long democrats and if not Hillary then McCain, but they are liars. They are not democrats and if they are then we don't need them and their hate in this party. They laugh at the Huckabee joke and then make fun of Kennedy's health? They use talking points that are only used on fixnews, Sean Hannity, and ultra conservative hate websites. Again, they are republicans drumming up fear and stirring the pot. Of course they are going to say that I'm lying but go back and check some of the old blogs and also listen carefully to what they say. Sharon Minnesota even gave George Bush a compliment on the ticker that was up last week about Jenna Bush's wedding. What democrat has something nice to say about Bush? Get LOST!!!

The people who vote for Hillary Clinton are G. Bush-democrats not Reagan-democrats. They elected G.W. Bush and their preference for Clinton is not surprising. The people elect and deserve their government, this is a democracy.

I am not sure who I will vote for this year. I do know this, if I were Bill Clinton, I would not be saying all the negitive things which I have heard him say. If I had sat and lied to the American people about having an affair with some other woman like he did, I think I would keep my mouth shut. At one time I would have voted fo r him even though he did sat and lie about his affair. He just got caught and he was trying to (like most of us would do) deny it but with his recent comments I would have to think now about voting for him. I know he is not running or that he cannot again but I feel like if Hillary gets in we will have Bill running this country again . Also with the both of them taking things from the White House like they were accused of, why does people want them back in, so they can have another chance of getting it again??

I was talking to my 81 year old Dad in India this morning and was watching CNN as I was talking to him. His comment about US politics blew me away. He said the next US President would be Obama. I wondered how he knew so much about US Politics and was astonished by impact Obama had made around the world. Obviously the world has already started looking at Obama as being ready for the "Most powerful Position in the World".

If the superdelegats had any guts they would give the nomination to the one with the popular vote, the most votes, and the one who can beat McCain in November, but since the Democratic Party is not known for that, when Obama loses to Mc"Bush" they will have no one to blame but themselves, AGAIN!

nevermind.

I am sick and tired of hearing threats about if Hillary doesn't win what her supporters are going to do. She isn't going to win so if you want to support a republican who has a foreign policy that mirrors Bush then so be it but accept the fact that if we are still in Iraq for years to come on possibly in Iran that was YOUR choice for America.

Do we really care about these remaining contests? Regardless of how much the Clinton camp wants us to care, regardless of how they parse the numbers, regardless of the rhetoric, Hillary is not going to be the nominee. It is over. Finito.

Florida and Michigan will not be seated as her highness would like. Although difficult to believe, it's not all about Hillary, it's about the future of Democratic primaries and the rules of the DNC.

Is it June 4th yet? I have absorbed all the lies I can take, I think.

Uh, the difference between 58 and 38 is 20 not 30.
Can you change that please? Jesus!

To paraphrase, it's not over until the lady in the pants suit says it;s over - and more power to her!

Oregon will pretty much make it a done deal for wrapping up the nomination for Obama. Hilary fought a good fight, but it's over. If she's banking on getting huge amounts of delegates from Florida and Michigan primaries, she's wasting her time. If she thinks the superdelegates are going to rescue her, it's not gonna happen. She will be great at campaigning for Obama, though. And since she's always been my number 2 choice for President, it wouldn't break my heart to see her on the ticket as the V.P.

This woman is stubborn.

OBAMA 08'/12'

Enjoy your last days campaigning Hillary.

Obama '08

Why would Clinton supporters chose to vote for McCain over Obama? this makes no sense at all. Lets just put it out there because we all know its true, and thats if Obama was white, then he'd have won WVA and he'd be ahead in kentucky right now. People vote based off the dumbest things. If Obama were to lose to Hillary, there is no way that most Obama supporters would vote for McCain. Its just like that SNL skit

The taxpayers of this country are STILL supporting Hillary because we know who can get the job done. Since we are the ones paying the salary, we should have a say in the hiring process. As a democratic taxpayer from Florida who had no say, I resent some yuppie students in Oregon getting to hire our leader.
That's Okay. In November, I WILL have a say. And I say NO OBAMA!

YAWNSVILLE.... So big woo. Shrillary wins KY and gains nothing toward the nomination.... I wish she'd shut her yap and go away. She'll lose big in OR.

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?

Americans for McCain '08

Obama appears to be the presumptive Democratic nominee to no one but himself, his supporters, and the press.

never mind. my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Am I missing something? 58% minus 38% = a 20 point lead.

It doesn't matter anymore.
