I am a college educated, white woman in her 30's. I voted for Hillary because I think she is the person for the job. Obama is just an "empty suit". Exactly what are his plans? Oh, wait, I know-"Change". That's all he says blah blah blah.
Unfortunately, Obama will probably get the nomination. So we know what that means-Hello President McCain!
I never voted for George Bush. I realized the country must be full of idiots to elect him twice! Those same idiots will be voting for McCain.
All of the bitter people who are clinging to their guns and their religions will be voting for McCain. Yes, some people will vote against Obama because he is black. Yes, some people will vote against him because his name is Barack Hussein Obama. Others will vote against him because of things his acquaintences said/done. Even his wife has said some things that show she would not be a good first lady.
I think the only reason that Obama has won so many primaries is this: McCain supporters are voting for the weaker democratic candidate.
Obamabots are going to be *shocked* when McCain slaughters him in the general election!

I guess everyone heard that fat lady singing expect Billary and their supporters. You people amaze me, the way you deny racism being a part of the voting process when people admit this stuff. They say it out of their own mouths, this simply isn't just speculation.
News Flash.....those same bigots who are racists are sexist too and when it comes down to it they will vote for the white man before the white lady........

The future has already been written, the only difference is that we haven't seen it, or lived through it as yet. So no matter how many votes are casted, no matter who many speeches are given, no matter how many stones are thrown, the bottom line is that we cannot stop destiny, because only one person is in control, and that is GOD. Always remember that "looks are deceiving", and "no one is perfect", and "NOTHING JUST HAPPEN". Always, be ready for what the future holds. Learn to "stand still" and "see the salvation of the Lord". We are already divided, and no one will ever change that. There is only one world, made up of many.

In God We Trust.

Janey, Clinton and McCain both are a lot more affluent and further removed from the the average American than Obama. They have also been playing the "game" longer. This is why they were able to put the 'affluent' label on a Black American who did well for himself, bought up poor by his single mother and grand parents. I mean think about it. You'd have to be a master b-artist to make that stick. But one thing is clear, people who have the hardest time tend to be angrier in general. Any black American can tell you that poor white communities tend to have more racist then more affluent ones. That fact only shocked the racist.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Any non black American will tell you that the most racist people in their daily lives are black. That fact shocks absolutely no one.

I am going to stop writing negativity. I admit that I have been guilty of doing so once caught up in the moment, the fervor, and the heated atmosphere of this campaign for the Democratic nomination. I’ve made statements which generalize a group of people that were unfair, ignorant, false, and couldn’t be further from the truth once I paused and remembered my own experience completing my studies in the Midwest of the U.S. There I met many good people who welcomed me into their places of business, their community activities, and even their homes because of a mutual trust that we in fact shared many of the same core values in our lives and for our loved ones; even though we weren’t of the same race and our biographies and histories were very different – people who couldn’t be closer to Hillary Clinton’s voter base of working Americans. I speak to the other Barack Obama supporters who are quick and vocal in their disdain yet quiet in their desire for meaningful dialogue with supporters of Hillary Clinton. Please think before you post, as I wish that I did because the true battle will be for the White House next November, and neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton will win if Democratic voters aren’t united whet it comes time to cast their vote.

David, those educated people who have "two cars and health care all taken care of" tend to have to PAY OFF COLLEGE LOANS. If anything, the uneducated (as in, not college educated) workers have less to worry about. They don't have to pay back thousands of dollars just to earn an education!

Why is Barack favored? Because he's da man!

Barack that vote, Oregon.

What experience did Washington, Jefferson, Franklin or Lincoln have???? All they had was intelligence and a dream for the future, yet they built this country. Now we have a candidate with intelligence, little experience and a view of the future or a candidate that lies, panders and decieves. I for one will take the inexperienced. Like the saying goes, "The only thing worse than finding out you have cancer, is not finding out." I want the truth from my President...if I know the problem, I can take steps to fix it. I don't want to hear it's caused by some "great right wing conspiracy",

If Hillary was more electablable the Republicans wouldn't waste time voting for her in their choas crusade.........give me a break she has more in her closet sorry if you don't know go to nohillary.com

Obama is fighting two huge battles at the same time, with McCain attacking him and Hillary out to knock him off. Listen to her campaign appeal AGAIN TO WOMEN, using the gendered emotional language of abuse–"a slap in the face"–to get the women out to vote against him. AND we know Obama has been a gentleman throughout!! Hillary is moving the goalposts AGAIN–raising the numbers of delegates, saying that only certain votes count. Her attacks have created a climate of misery for all Democrats. The Party needs to declare victory for Senator Obama NOW in order to win in November.

CNN MSNBC BIASED + obama = NO CREDIBILITY & UNTRUSTWORTHY!

your american idol obama will lose november

HILLARY OR MCCAIN! NOBAMA EVER!

Those poor misinformed Hillary voters. I feel more sad for the McCain voters.

OBAMA will be isolating himself from the minorities when he gets elected !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Primaries, again, can not be extrapolated to general elections (apples/oranges) Also, Obama has changed the electoral map. Dems will have more states than in the past. NEW politics-new furture. Stop pigeon holing the American people, Clinton.

AS LONG AS OBAMA IS INVOLVED IN ANY POLITICAL PROCESS, EVERY TIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM OR HIS BIG MOUTHED WIFE THEY WILL SCREAM RACISM!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE EVER MADE IT TO THE PRESIDENCY?

IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!

HIS WIFE AND CLOSE FRIENDS ARE FREE GAME FOR THE PRESS, BECAUSE THEY LET US KNOW WHAT KIND OF A PERSON HE IS AND HAS BEEN FOR 20 YEARS WITH REVEREND WRIGHT!

THE FACT IS HE WILL NEVER GET ELECTED, JUST MADE TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL!!!!!

COME ON KENTUCKY AND OREGON LETS GET RID OF OBAMA FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!

Obama is weak...

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY WANT A MORAL PERSON, NOT A ULTRA LIBERAL OR A LIAR THAT WILL SAY ANYTHING FOR A VOTE!!!!!!!

KENTUCKY REALIZES THAT OBAMA HAS LIED AND HIS COMMENTS ABOUT THE AVERAGE PERSON REVEALED HOW HE REALLY THINKS!!!!

I WILL BET THAT IF HE WINS OREGON IT WILL NOT BE BY THAT MUCH!!!!!!

IN THE END HILLARY WILL WIN!!!!!

WE HAVE FAITH IN YOU HILLARY!!!!!!!!

Sweetie, The system Obama used to win, was there for Hillary to too, and don't forget Bill used it to win 2 times...

Hillary herself was damaged before she even started to run.... So please take a better look at her..

Linda, So how come Obama was helping the poorest in Chicago, while Hillary was sitting on the board of Wall Mart ??

Obama is dangerous for this country.
Instead of helping other nations to bring the standard of living up like US he is planning to
bring our standard of living down to match. Just listen to what he said yesterday.
What kind of strategy is this? Oh, I remember it is the strategy that Mullah’s brought to Iran.
Obama is the worst thing that can happen to this country.

CNN = Politics
CNN should = Truth

"Oh so let me get this straight.If you dont vote for Obama you must be dumb or racist."

That about covers it.

Seriously, though, can you really compare two Democrats running against each other and a Dem./Rep. matchup? Just because people prefer one Dem. over the other does not mean they WILL NOT vote for the other.

It seems like the educated, well read and informed citizens can make an informed decision and don't care for liars. And then there's West Virginia and Kentucky!

Mike

Hey, let's face it, this is all about race. When 90% of all the African-Americans voting vote for Senator Obama it has to be about race. Do any of you white Americans reading this feel comfortable criticizing Obama in front of your African-American friends? I doubt it and the question is why? As a country that prides itself on equality we have much to learn.

Hey Mecca...."loose" means that something is moveable, slack or wobbly. "Lose" is to be defeated.

And the word you are looking for is inexperienced not non experienced.

Just thought I'd drop some knowledge on an obviously well educated Hillary supporter.

Obama has obviously managed to make inroads with all segments of the population, as recent polls indicate.

Once the "Fat Lady sings," all Democrats will (and should) support the nominee, or shut up and put up with four (or eight) more years of McBush.

HILLARY, BEGONE !!!!!!!!! (((( YES OBAMA CAN )))) !!!!!!!!!

Casey-your post is so rife with errors, it makes no sense. Are you one of the educated Obama supporters?

Obama supporters...you have stop calling racists those who are voting for Clinton or McCain. This is going over the line. Why are guys so self – righteous?. Please heaven's sake...people here vote for theor candidates for various reasons ..one being racism (sadly!!!) . But you can't label everyone to be racist. You guys are alienating yourselves.

With your percentage points. You know exactly what it is. Americans don't like to speak about this problem we have in America. The media continues on a daily basis to bring up the subject. Please let it go and Obama did not place this in the primary, the media did. Let it go so Americans can start living together once and for all.

Marilyn
La.

I dare CNN write an article as to why Blacks are voting 90+% for Obama and still are not called racists!! Clinton did more for Blacks than Obama. No loyalty....?

JB Cal : We can talk about racism all you want and I agree, take a look at the polls and it becomes clear. The black community supports Obama by over 90%. Do you think they are voting on his credentials? Do you think they would be voting for him if he were white? Please, don’t talk to us of racism. Obama would not be where he is if he weren’t black and everyone with half a brain knows it.

hey NO-Bama YO -MAMA

Educate people when Obama campaign he say that but when he get President the proposal going to fail in Rep. and Sen. so your guy going to
get nothing. So, that's mean he going to throw your guy under the bus like his typical White grandmama and his uncle Rev. Wrong.

I'm so sick and tired of sore losers that support Hillary Clinton. If she does not win they will voter for Mccain. Go right ahead you never really wanted change . YOU want the same old right wing mess that we have now .Mccain is Mcbush you dont't want a women's right to chose ,row v wade gone under McBush. and all the other things that you hope for under Hillary GONE under McBush so go right ahead you only hurt yourselfs. (yes Obama can)!!!!!!

Oregon is more liberal, Kentucky more conservative. It is simple. Obama will win the west coast and NY. McCain will win the rest and take the election.

Kentucky is full of uneducated racists. Oregon has progressive and educated people who see through Hillary's bull.

History has shown that Presidents considered to be among the greatest of all time, have run some of the best organized campaigns of all time.

The campaign organization is a direct reflection of how the candidate's potential administration would be run.

Les-WA you may not want to talk about racism in Ky, but it's there. You'd have to be a fool not to know that, or maybe you choose to ignore it's presence because it doesn't fit the case you're trying to make. Obama didn't put that label on those voters. Check the polls. It is what it is.

I had no clue that there is this huge uneducated people in America. what a shame. and you want to teach there rest of the world what?

CAN'T COUNT OUT THE IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY OF VOTERS EITHER...

I.E. IGNORANT OBAMA VOTERS

BECAUSE THIS RACE CRAP WAS MANUFACTURED BY BILLARY CLINTON< KARL ROVE< AND THEIR GOP SPIN MACHINE.

The first step to recovery is being honest with one self. We all know why. It now time to admit it so that we can move on. However, we never will, sad to say!

George BUSH had so called exprience and how did that work out for us. nobody who's never been president has the exprience to be preisident you learn on the job ,every era is different .John Kennedy was young and Inexprienced but he save the world from a nuclear nightmare.( YES Obama can)!!!!!!!!

Hello -HereWeGo – Georgia is deep south and Obama led by 67% and Mississippi – he led there also. So, it's not just the deep south, it's KY and WV only.

All i have to say is americans are full of hate i so sure if it were a white person runing against a white person all this hateful things will be mild the fact is americans are afraid of change but we in the other parts of the world are ready and we are already changing while americans are waiting for there leaders to tell them when to jump in a fire and when not too. It is so sad i use to think so big of america but not anymore and what makes a country the most powerful nation is not weapons it is the economy which america has failed at so stop all your hate and surpport who the democratic nominee is so that all americans can move forward and for those of you who are afraid of change don't complain when your life becomes more a vacuum.

WHY OH WHY do Obamabots cry racism if people don't vote for Obama???

God forbid people (white, black, yellow, purple, etc) reject Obama because of his lack of experience, socialist agenda, and unelectability

The only ones crying racisim are Limbaugh's Operatives, seeding dissension within the DNC party's base of voters. Your comments are typical of what they sound like.

I am looking forward to June 3rd because the whole democratic nomination process has been based on race, educated and uneducated, American Flag on lapel. What happen to the war, economy, health...issues?

I always tried to believe that I am a citizen of "The United States of America" instead I am finding out that I am a citizen of "The UnUnited States of American, a country full of racist, cold hearted people. I am truly ashamed of the politicians, media, and the citizens of this so call great United States. This country is full of racist, cold hearted people. These same folks salutes the flag and sings the National Anthem. Before they sing the National Anthem again, read the words; please note the words" home of the free...

BTW, I don't sing the National Anthem because this country is not the home of the free.

Let's all unite against being segmented as voters. Respect each other. Move forward.

What is with all you fools saying that Barack is unelectable? Do you not look at the polls? Are you riding on what HIllary spews about winning the states that "matter" like PA and CA?

If you would just take a few minutes to look at RealClearPolitics you would quickly notice that Barack wins those states also AS WELL AS many others that McCain smashes Hillary in. Barack clearly has the edge vs McCain. Then in states where he's ahead of both Barack and Hillary, Barack often is much closer to McCain (ie. McCain +2 as opposed to McCain +12 for Hillary). The only states where Hillary is closer to McCain are... you guessed it... racist, backwoods places like WV, NC and KY. They'd vote for Hitler before they'd put a black man in office. I shouldn't summarize the whole state like that because obviously it does not apply to all, but the fact is that those states are largely made up of individuals with very outdated views on society and people.

The ignorance is pretty aggravating around here.

Hillary is appealing to people who uses COMMON SENSE, Obama appeals to people who has college diploma and frame it on their wall and say " I am highly educated."

I'd take common sense any time of the day over college diploma. I have seen many college graduates right now UNEMPLOYED and STILL living with their parents.

Could it be that the more educated understand the US Constitution? That we should not be nation-building and fighting wars for other countries?
Could it be that the more affluent know a devalued dollar is more of a threat to their wealth than a tiny tax increase?
P.S. I'm a blue collared white guy who voted for Bush twice. This year it is Obama all the way!

To Les-WA, and others who have said Obama was abscent from KY:

I had the pleasure of seeing Sen. Obama at a rally right here in Louisville, KY last Monday. About 10,000 other people also saw him, and he made stops in other towns such as Lexington. Sure, he did not spend as much time here as in other states, but he did not neglect the state either. He did take the time to talk to people and listen to their concerns. And I can't blame him for not spending more time here. As a native Kentuckian, I know that there are many in this state that are not ready for a black president. I can appreciate that it is more worth his while to spend extra time campaigning in states that are perhaps a little more open minded.

That being said, I don't expect Kentucky to be a repeat of W.Virginia, I think it's going to be closer than the polls predicted.

What exactly do people in Kentucky and West Virgina find so appealing about Senator Clinton, overwhelmingly?

Someone above said it best, judging a book by its cover.

Los Angeles, CA

I dont care about all those demographics, Obama has literally snubbed the good people of West Virginia and now the good people of Kentucky, he does realize they are states doesnt he, let's see, ummmm he dissappeared in both wow, he might know they are states, but he doesnt seem to think they matter, kinda tells you how he will be when he's finally got what he has wanted all along, a way to get back at all of them, sad, it really is, and MIchelle, if you said Hillary
cant even run "her own house" I pray just doesnt want to help your little cowardly husband run the White House

OMG ITS LEFT VS RIGHT Obama is left, Hillary is Right its that simple, it has nothing to do with race!

I wish people would just understand this, its why I vote for Hillary because she is far more right then Obama and has crossed lines many times, when I vote for McCane in the GE its the same reason McCane is more in the middle then Obama, who wants to vote for an extreme like right Bush or Left Obama...

When will the Obama people stop referring to us Hillary supporters as racists? I resent it and will fight to keep from voting for Obama if he is the nominee becausee of the disrepectfulness of the Obama supporters.

Educated (M.S.) and financially well-off and for Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How we coming on the poll with high school drop outs voting for whom coming along?

All us uneducated folks that's supporting Hillary would like to know?
SHHHH!!! Be quite you Hillary supporters that graduated from college that have, Masters, Doctor Degrees. Don't tell these ignorant people we not supposed to be voting for HILLARY. I know this uneducated person is -if HILLARY does not win the nomination -will take my uneducated "BUTT" and vote for JOHN McCAIN.

I love Obama, but judging how illiterate and outright retarded some of you folks commenting on here sound, I'm beginning to worry if Obama's educated voter base is enough to win him the presidency.

Honestly, if you had the choice, I think some of you would vote for a rock with the Confederate flag painted on it.

I sincerely hope these so called "Hillary Supporters" are actually McCain supporters in disguise. I have never read so much crying an whining about a presidenital candidate losing. The realityof it all is Obama ran a good campaign, and beat a person who was supposed to win it all. Her "EXPERIENCE" amounts to basically nothing. Hillary lost points with a lot of her supporters because of the negative campaign she ran. She showed her tru colors, and that is why she will be watching this one from the sidelines. As a democrat, i will vote for the complete opposite of what we have now. Hillary Clinton has a lot of stubborn qualities our current President has. I don't want a sequel...

QUESTION FOR ALL REGARDING MI AND FL:

I understand that MI and FL are important, but why is Hillary projecting it as if it was unfair only to her, all candidates were equally affected by it.

1.) It was unprofessional to campaign in these states, this shows she has no regards for the rules (Rules may be right or wrong – but those were the rules that were laid out AND all candidates agreed to them before) .
2.) Second, project it in such a way that it is not fair to her.

Ok...now how are we going to resolve FL and MI.
Issue # 1 – MI –
Barack was not even on the ballot.
Hillary was on the ballot and she campaigned there after agreeing not to.
Issue # 2 – FL -
Barack was on the ballot, but he did not campaign there because he was following rules.
Hillary was on the ballot and she campaigned there after agreeing not to.

AGAIN IT WAS NOT BARACK WHO MADE THE RULES. IT WAS THE PARTY AND EVERY CANDIDATE AGREED TO IT, WHY WAS THIS NOT PROTESTED BEFORE. SO HILLARY PLEASE STOP PORTRAYING AS IF IT WAS BARACK WHO MADE THE RULES.

AND IF THE VOTES ARE GOING TO BE COUNTED AS POLLED THIS IS UNFAIR AND UNJUST.

Please reply only with sensible suggestions and do not answer this with a prejudice. It is only a fair question.

I sincerely hope these so called "Hillary Supporters" are actually McCain supporters in disguise. I have never read so much crying an whining about a presidenital candidate losing. The realityof it all is Obama ran a good campaign, and beat a person who was supposed to win it all. Her "EXPERIENCE" amounts to basically nothing.

I am so sick of Obama supporters calling me a Republican, anti-american etc just because I refuse to vote for Obama. they will try any propaganda to push their candidate to the top. As a gay female, I would greatly benefit from Obama being president if he were in fact the right one to lead our country. I was raised republican but always voted my heart, not the party. When Bush ran, it was just too much for me so i switched parties and voted against him. Now, when the democratic party was on the verge of making huge strides in attaining the White House, crooked deals and backroom politics forced a questionable candidate on us who I believe has a very dark agenda. I REFUSE to vote for him. Period! I am NOT republican, I am just a level headed person who has not been hoodwinked and brainwashed. So the lesson for today is this, vote your heart and use good common sense. Don't let the radicals scare you into voting for their Trojan Horse. If Hillary is not the nominee, common sense tells me to go with the war hero, the true blue american who I KNOW cares about this country and ALL of it's citizens. No special agendas. Our country is too important.

I'd suggest that Senator Obama take his chances with Ohio rather than considering Governor Ted Strickland as VP in order to try and carry the state. Strickland, most likely, would turn out being what Spiro Agnew was to Richard Nixon. Ohioans seem to have, in addition to racial issues, issues with corruption. Currently there are several corruption investigation that are ongoing. The worse part of it is that these seem to be the norm. As and Ohioan, I detest the attitude and convictions demonstrated by the mmajority of our citizens.

You people need a reality check. Do you realize you are getting ANGRY at members of your own party because you don't like their preferred candidate? Where is the intelligent debate? There are valid reasons for preferring both Obama and Clinton, but this discussion has devolved into nothing but mud slinging. If you let your emotions sway you come November, especially to "teach" your opponent a lesson (come on!), you will regret it. I am a middle aged, white woman with an elementary school aged child. It is his future I am voting for.

My entire family comes from KY; my grandfather was a sharecropper and my father was a mechanic. We had to leave KY for economic opportunity, but a lot of my family still lives there. I have since earned a PhD (and am still paying off my student loans), and have little in common with my family, but I know exactly where they're coming from.

One person/one vote - make yours count for something positive, don't waste it on revenge. Remember: he who digs a grave for others falls into it himself.

Hillary Clinton has to face the ultimate reallity check.
She is still runing against the time, so the best thing is to live her to make the same judgement like on Iraq.

Obama need only 102 delegates to go, while she needs 300+.
Is she sleeping?

Hey Paul: I hope they do represent the rest of the United States.

I have grown so tired of the Obama campaign, supporters, DNC, and liberal media shoving this inexperienced, arrogant, hypocritical, self-serving guy down our throats. I am outraged that the spin is that if you are a Clinton supporter, then you are "uneducated, poor, or a racist hillbilly". I am no longer proud to be a democrat because the party is by far more UNdemocratic than I care to be a part of. BTW, I have been a lifelong democrat. I have a graduate degree. I work in DC, live in Maryland, and make a salary of over $100,000. I will NEVER vote for Obama because I strongly believe, with all our nation's problems today, he is neither fit or experienced enough to be the President.

TO SALLY:

YOU ARE A PRESUMPTUOUS IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WEST VIRGINIA AND KENTUCKY HAVE NO MORE RACISTS THAN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

JUST BECAUSE ONE CERTAIN GEOGRAPHIC REGION PREFERS ONE CANDIDATE TO ANOTHER DOES NOT MEAN IT IS CHOCKED FULL OF RACISTS.

GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOU DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE BAD OR DEFECTIVE. YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS IS WHAT IS DEFECTIVE.

**********************************************************************

The polls consistently indicate Senator Clinton would be the stronger candidate in the general election.

How smart is it of voters to support Senator Obama in the primary when he is the candidate who is less likely to win in the general election?

I live in Kentucky and I support Obama. I am educated and I don't apologize for it. My mother and father never went to college, but they are voting for Obama. I am so tired of the Clinton supporters whinning about how she has been cheated. Hogwash! She knew what she was coming in when she entered this race. She was the arrogant one to think she would wrap this election up after Super Tuesday. Well, guess what, the American people had something else in mind. She is not fit to lead me down the street. She is a liar and she panders. She will do anything to win and she can not be trusted. Obama is the best person for this job. I think how he has run his campaign speaks for itself. His campaign has run in the black (no pun intended) ever since he started. Hillary will soon get out of the race so she can recoup her money. She is not sincere.

It is time for super deligates to act. They have been given a privilege in the party. They need to act accoring with their role in party in ordre to protect the party interest in general election. If the Democratic party lost in Nov, it is not Hillary's fault, but it will be so called "Super Deligates' ".
If they still don't know who to pick after several months, they don't deserve the role they are given.

not surprised by my kentucky africain american bothers and sisters, that’s why we need a change, because rich people like the clintons have always sold us with cheap promises.

was never told that they can vote for a black man instead of this so called rule, you must vote change, you have to vote for white or your voting rights will non-exist. again.

we have always put our votes for a white president, so my kentucky africain american bothers and sisters it’s ok to vote for a change, scare tactics like this against you have always been in place for future use.

Should the 'uneducated' be given the chance to vote?
They did before ... that gave rise to 8 years of GwB!

Affluence, elitism, call it what you will. I think your commentators are looking in the wrong direction when they say race or racism isn't an issue because they keep looking at white people to see if they're voting race or are racist and they should be looking at the 90% of blacks that vote for Obama. Kentucky and Oregon are no mystery. Far left people (who tend to elitism), very young voters, and African Americans vote for Obama. Oregon is loaded to overflow with two of those groups and it's a credit to Hillary Clinton that she's doing so well out there comparitively speaking, especially at this point in the game. Kentucky is loaded with people from the rest of the country which is why Hillary is doing so well with them. Obama is youth, far left and black. Hillary is everyone else. I'm going with everyone else. We don't need an extremist in the presidency – especially now.

I keep reading the comments from the Hillidiots...

lets re-cap...(not that this will convince any of you – mind you)

Hillary....no experience...only as first lady....no policy or cabinet meetings

Hillary – less elected experience than Obama – she lived in Arkansas – and followed the Robert Kennedy route – and picked up and moved to NY – where they will elect anyone with a D after their name – she knew she could not win in her "home" state

Hillary – supports NAFTA – and doesn't support NAFTA – how is that possible?

Hillary – Universal Healthcare – that covers illegal aliens – at the same time supporting drivers licenses for illegals (yet now doesn't)

HRC supporters – (especially those who make up all this nonsense about Obama) – we dislike lies....and distortions and "misspeaks"

If you follow Hillary and believe in her message – then I can see you not supporting Obama....because his message is truth and common sense...something that is completely opposite of the spew Hillary spits out daily....thats why the Republicans would love to run against her....

If I never hear the word "Elitist" again it will be too soon.

The Clinton supporters (mostly women) like Ferraro who say they will vote for the republican before voting for Obama are showing exactly what men have said forever:women are too emotional. These ladies are acting like spoiled brats if they don't get their way they are going to make fools out of themselves and the American people are going to suffer for at least 4 more years. Very intellegent ladies! By the way, I am a 40 something white female and I am quite tired of the childish bs.

Ahh........are you suggesting literacy tests to qualify voters? I often see comments such as yours from supposedly well educated people and I wonder, is history no longer taught in our schools and universities? Perhaps we should reinstitute voter taxes and rescind the voting rights of minorities and women, as well. Do you really want to go back to the 1800s? Put down that pipe and think about it, Beavis.......

On the other hand, if you were to propose an oral exam on civics and current affairs, I might agree.

MECCA – I'm sorry, but is Puerto Rico allowed to vote in the General Election this year????? I didn't think so.

Rowland Martin has talked about this before, it's not an issue of race, it is an issue of message. Democrats have a hard time connecting to white blue collar workers in general, They must change their message to appeal to these voters or continue to lose elections. They have started in states typically won by Republican Senators, now they have to carry it into their genral message.

As an Obama supporter, I don't agree that all Hillary supporters are
uneducated. And referring to Senator Obama as an elitist is what
Hillary made up, and gullible people believe her. However, what I don't
understand is how her supporters can seriously think that she is winning
when Senator Obama has more votes than she has. That is a simple
concept that requires little or no education other than understanding that
the person with the most votes win. Now not WANTING to understand
that fact is where the ignorance and stupidity takes hold. Not being uneducated or without a college degree. One can still think smart
without either if they wanted to.

Obama gets the educated voters, but just can't get all those Jerry Springer voters. Hillary is that really something you should be bragging about? Fear and ignorance will not sway my vote!

Obama 08'

Well many would like to say this and all elections are not about "RACE" but consider this. Why is it call the 2008 race? Could it be because it is a spirited run between multiples for one win or could it be because it is a spirited run between a Black man and a White woman? I suspect it is a little of both. It all depends on your thoughts and beliefs about who should be the leader of our country and much of that has to do with the way one was raised. That having been said you decide just how your parents raised you.

I want to thank all the Obama supporters! I'm a female Hillary supporter, but you have "Enlightened" me!

I have lived 52 years and I am just now finding out:

- I'm a hag, uneducated, dumb, stupid, racist, a hillbilly (if I live in the South), ignorant, bitter, uninformed...and the list goes on.

I have read a lot of these Blogs and I have just two things to say:

For "highly educated" people, I have yet to see an Obama supporter who can spell! I have even seen you misspell the Senator's first name as Barak! And your grammar - please!

And...When I see your hostile, mean remarks directed at anyone who disagrees with you, an old saying comes to mind.....People who resort to name-calling, reveal their intellectual deficit.

To "AJ":

You are not only misinformed, you are a blatant racist for even insinuating that "the black community" would be responsible either partially or not for the demise of the political system if Barack is elected the nominee. The numbers speak for themselves and I guarentee you if you actually paid attention to the FACTS you would obviously see that he is legitimately winning the majority of votes in ALL categories from whites and blacks ALIKE. Go ahead and stay home in November, Barack doesn't need your vote and he'll win anyway. Get a clue. It's attitudes like yours and other retarded HRC supporters who give the American people a bad name....jack arse.

OBAMA '08/'12

Give us your poor, rich, educated and not, your blacks, whites, latinos, religious, atheist. We're all in this as one.
Obama '08

Is there a litmus test regarding who is considered uneducated? The illiterate, the high school dropouts, or simply those who could not affford to pursue a higher degree? The snobbery of the Obama supporters is palpable. I know many very smart people who are "uneducated", many other people who were lucky enough to be able to buy an education or work for it (some smart, some not so smart). Obama supporters want change – do they want to help the poor, illiterate people who support Clinton? Or would they rather rant and berate them to point out that Clinton is inferior because the "uneducated" have a preference for her representation? btw – a note on Obama's suggestion to give kids credit for college only if they perform a mandated amount of community service. Where does that leave the poor people? They'll have to work and put in community service time. How will they get their homework done? His notions are preposterous and his "educated" supporters are ignorant of how the other half lives. The poverty in this country is beyond extreme. This man pretends a mission to help the poor, but his ideas don't make sense.

Frustrated, older WOMEN, who see Hillary as someone who can strike back and balance out all the injustices they have endured over their lifetime.....

UNEDUCATED, blue-collar, rural voters, who fall for Hillary's phony popularism hook, line and sinker.....

SENIORS, who identify more with Hillary than a younger Barack......

and BACKWOODS REDNECKS, who privately mock Hillary's sex
and pantsuits, but who hate blacks even more than they do women...

WHAT A CONSTITUENCY!!!!!!!!! I sure hope this bunch doesn't have the power to decide the fate of the Presidency. If so, its a JOKE.

An Independent, Vietnam Vet, for Obama......and Sibelius as his VP!!

Kentukcy is first of all a republican state. they re-elect the corrupt senator mitch mcconnell every time. and voted bush is 00, and 04.

Kentucky is loaded with rascists old people who will never vote for a black man..Oregon is a democratic state, more educated, and looks past race in a candidate.

thats why

I am so sick and tired of people minimizing Barack's supporters and is campaign by trying to marginalize him as the "Black candidate" or the "liberal candidate" or even worse, that he has "stolen the nomination" from Hillary. The facts are that Barack could not be in the position he is without siginificant support rom all walks of life, Black and white, rich and poor, male and female.He jas won in more sates, big and small, and run a far better campaign than Hillary – like it or not, those are facts.Hillary has come on strong as of late and should be commended for this as well but you can not ignore the previous several months all together.

RE: White middle aged woman for Obama –

I was thinking the same thing. I'm upset that so many people don't get it. If Condi Rice were going against John Edwards, black wouldn't blindly vote for Condi. It's not completely about race. Of course there are black and whites that vote because he's black or she's a woman, but the majority of us Blacks (and whites) vote for him because we hear our voice when he speaks.

Clinton is the only one who can beat McCain. It is a fact. Accept it. Otherwise, McCain '08

"The answer is simle." – Lucyna

Education at it's finest.

32 y/o white, educated, professional male...and a Hillary supporter (O.O)

Ya gotta love the intelligence of the NOBAMA supporters – like Oboma supporter in Akron, Ohio. Wonder what color he is?

I am constantly amazed at the number of Hillary supporters who 1) still think they have a chance of winning and 2) say they will vote for pro life McCain instead of pro choice Obama. If the shoe was on the other foot, any Obama supporter who broke democratic ranks would be lynched by Hillary supporters as being unfaithful to the party and the process, and all the complaining about Florida and Michigan would be put down by Hillary saying "if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen".

Its called the dumbing down of the American people so they are much easier to control and sway by the media and the controllers.

Education is not a synonym of intelligence. My roots come from people who never graduated from High School and yet were bright and prosperous business men and women! These "educated" people who are voting for Obama, might end up being the dumbest americans for choosing a non experienced candidate who will most certainly loose in the general elections. Another factor is gender. Somehow these so "educated" voters are still so far behind in time that they still think a female is not capable of running the country and choose to pick a male candidate.
Superdelegates will be blamed big time if Obama looses this race for the presidency so they better take their time to think before running to Obama's rhetorics!
Mecca from San Juan, Puerto Rico

Bogus argument. $41,000 is hardly affluence.
Kentucky has a large racist contingent, just like West Virginia. Obama does well with rural, whites, blacks, hispanics– all kinds of voters, just not bigots. Kentucky is no bellwether. The election dynamics have changed.
Bigoted voters are in the minority, however, and will have no bearing on the general election.

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

Americans for McCain '08

RUDY, NYC
I couldn't have said better.

Rudy NYC May 20th, 2008 11:25 am ET

The media needs to remind people from time to time that black Americans have voted DNC in large numbers in recent years. Remind people that Clinton had nearly 3/4 of the black vote last Thanksgiving.

Remind people that Hillary's disparaging MLK remarks lost many votes. Remind people that Bill attempted damage control by speaking on a number of national black radio shows, but put defended the remarks and put down Obama. Remind people that Bill sealed the deal with his Jackson comment in SC.

That is why 90% of black voters support Obama, not Hillary. It has little to do with race.

If Hillary is the Democratic Nom. I will vote for McCain.

Anyone But Hillary !!

Obama supporters-
How you win is just as important as how you loose.

Leave Hilliary and her supporters alone.

If they don't want to include the popular votes from the caucus states to make it seem like she has the popular vote, so be it. There have been enough permutations and analysis by now to verify that the only way she leads in the popular vote is to give her all of the votes from MI and FL and give Obama no votes from the caucus states.

She is a proud woman/person who has served New York well. She also has served the country well with the exception of one key vote.

Let her have her pride.

But do not rip up the party and doom the country to more Justices like Alito and Roberts, continuation of our occupation of Iraq and the needless dying and maiming of our men and women in uniform just because the person you support is not going to win.

Every millitary person and parent trying to decide who to vote for should look at what Obama wants the GI Bill to represent for our soldiers after they serve.

Every parent who wants their child to have a better chance to live a better life than they did should look at what he wants to do for youth wanting to go to college.

Every person who can't afford healthcare or adequate health care should look at what he wants to do to make it better.

He hasn't been just words. But you have to be citizen and actually seek out the information you want to know. Mainstream media only wants to focus on the sensational crowds and the conflicts. Right wing media (FOX) only wants to focus on the negative because they know they have no chance if people really look at the things he wants for everyday woking people. They want those people to continue to vote against their own self interest so that the rich can keep getting richer.

Wake up America. A new day is here. But you have to have the courage to step out on faith and then back your faith up with work to make sure our leaders follow through.

Obama '08

Oh and one more thing: they both know how to sling the bull.

To what end is it for Obama to be elected?How long will he actually be president? It is more important who he chooses as VP,because we may be saddled with who his choice for years as president.

The media refuses to discuss the possibilty some redneck will get past his security and the we are stuck with his vp choice.For all of Roland Martins bs about supporting Obama,he could careless about him or his family. Shame on Martin !

Why can't Clinton backers ever mention actual issues or other reasons why they wont vot for Barack? All I ever see or hear are the same old, same old, "he's an empty suit!, elitest! He's full of hot air! He is arrogant!" Seriously, give me something real.

And no, I don't want your re-hashed Senator Clinton spoon-fed-to-you lies about her "winning" the popular vote that doesn't include Caucuses or uncommitted Michigan votes. Or anything about Obama blocking the FL or MI votes. Those are all BS lies you guys eat right up.

Seriously, if Senator Clinton were walking down the street defacating chocolate ice cream, you all would be following her with a bowl and spoon!

The less educated the older
the easier to be fooled.

Not this time, America is awake!!!

Obama all the way.

The fact that anyone would vote for McCain over Obama in November is completely staggering. Have you seen what has been happening the past eight years? How blind are you? Do you really want four more years of corruption and war?
What a bunch of spiteful little brats. I can't even begin to understand. I have not seen anything from Sen. Obama's part that would merit this kind of visceral aversion. You people are fools and our children will pay the price for your immaturity. Put your prejudice aside and do whats right for this country. Your spite will send more boys to die in far away countries. Shame on you.

Thank goodness that Kentucky is the last of the states lining the ignorant
territories of America. How happy I am that in my travels, that I never have to venture through Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, an Pennsylvania(only if I'm taking a shortcut to the east coast). These states are not worthy of
my hard earned, blue collar, white AMERICAN dollar, and I will not drop a
penny in those places. I'm sure thats why they are still stuck in the economic slump that their ignorant way of thinking keeps them in.

Who cares why. When and if Hillary Clinton's 15 minutes of fame are over, and she gets off her high horse, the Democrats will unite behind Obama. They have to, if they don't want a THIRD term for the worst president in the history of this country.

For all the media's hype, people will ultimately vote their pocketbooks, and their security. Bush has not been able to deliver. McCane will most definitely be unable to deliver.

Not only does his age concerns me (no disrespect to the elderly intended), but also his psychological state is of grave importance. When he talks about "NO Torture" he exhibits an inner weakness which stems from his days as a POW. You cannot fight terrorists, and be soft in gaining information from them. McCane is soft in the core, and tries to appease conservatives by acting tough on the outside.

I shall never vote for an arrogant Intern who refused to debate HILLARY in Oregon! I need a strong and a smart president who is a fighter!!!!! HILLARY or nothing!

At this point, for Obama to seriously campain in KY, he would have to engage Hillary responding to the same tactics she's used for the last few months which created this gap between Obama and Hillary supporters. He has the nomination wrapped up, and once Hillary drops out of the race, he will go back to KY to campaign, mend-fences, and rally the voters to the democratic causes they all share.

Campaigning in KY for Obama is a dumb thing to do.

To whocares,
bottom line, I don't want to elect a president that talks about imaginary sniper fire in Bosnia and wants to put a three month band-aid on our gas crisis.

Let WVa and Kentucky pat each other on the backs and let BILLARY join in with them. She's played on these peoples ignorance and their predjudice beliefs. It doesn't take a rocket scientise (or a farmer) to figure that out! Sen Clinton represents more of Washington's S.S.D.D. politics, which this Floridian wants no part of!

BILLARY give it up, the popular vote AND the super deligates have made up their minds and Sen Obama is our choice!!!

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08 OBAMA/EDWARDS 08 OBAMA/EDWARDS 08

This is what Obama amounts to: a manufactured celebrity, an Oprah promotional, an elitist. His appeal is based on factors that have nothing to do with leadership. Actually, George Bush and Obama's personalities seem similar – they both lack depth, they both get by on their song and dances and seem like they want to be your pal.

Once I got into a political debate with a woman at a wedding reception. She ended the debate by telling me to "educate" myself on Bill Clinton. I would love to know what she thinks now, lol. I was "educated" then, and I'm "educated" now. I never voted for Clinton because he didn't have integrity then, and he doesn't now.

It has taken 15 long years, but I've proven my point.

Obama 08

I only graduated from high school, I'm not rich(as far as money is concerned), and I work hard. But still I see through Clinton. She won't get my vote. Neither will McBush !

Henry Miller, Cary, NC May 20th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Conclusion: It's mostly ignorant, uneducated, people who like Hillary.

Question: Why do we let ignorant, uneducated, people vote in the first place? How can anyone who doesn't have a decent education, people who lack any cultural or historical context by which to judge the consequences of their decisions, make responsible decisions concerning domestic or foreign policy, or even judge the competence of the various candidates to make such decisions?

SURE SOUNDS LIKE HITLER TO ME!! TYPICAL OBAMA THOUGHTS??? OBAMA IS A LOSER!!!

Simply put ... Hillary appeals to a greater number of the under-educated, the willfully ignorant and hormonally driven voters ... and let's not forget her republican support in so many of the "open" democratic primaries!

Obama does the walk and the talk better than Clinton by copycating her issues and then makes his preacher pitch to voters and they are buying it. When it comes down to actually making a decision on his own if he is President, he will crumble and we will have all of you educated, black, stupidelagates and teenyboppers to thank for it. It has nothing to do with his skin color the man is shallow period. He wants to debate John McCain and ducked out on Clinton, that tells you right there that he is running scared on actually talking about the issues and making a decision right on the spot. John McCain will be prepped and ready to go especially on foreign policy and Obama will be left in the dust yet again.

LOOK GAS TAX

NO ONE CAN DO A DAM THING ABOUT THIS IF THEY ARE NOT PRESIDENT

EXCUSE ME

THE SAVING WILL BE ABOUT $30.00 OVER 3 MO. AND THEN YOU PAY OUT YOUR BUT THE REST OF THE YEAR VBECAUSE THE GAS WILL GO WAY UP TO PAY FOR IT. AND THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING NOW.

HILLARYT REPUBLICANS/THIS IS THE TRUTH

A RACE OF RACE. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST FIXED RACE FROM THE DNC AND O.B. BUYING SUPER DELIGATES ,I HAVE EVER SEEN. BIAS AGAINST HRC BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. THE DNC IS AFRAID SHE WILL BE THE REPUBLICANS SO ALL THE DELIGATES ARE GOING TO O.B. SHE WINS A STATE HE GETS ENDORSED,TELL ME IT ISN'T FIXED.HE WILL LOOSE IN NOV. THE O.B. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS WILL MEET THE LITTLE BIG HORN. THIS RACE HAS BEEN SO MUCH HATE AND BIAS AGAINST THE CLINTONS ,THAT WE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL HAVE OUR SAY AT THE END. MC CAIN LOOKS BETTER EVERYDAY.OBAM IS A GREENHORN WITH A LINE OF CRAP A MILE LONG. HRC IS THE FIGHTER WE NEED AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR US. O.B. HASN'T DONE ANTHING FOR THIS COUNTRY. I MYSELF DONT WANT MY LIFE PUT IN HIS HANDS. ILL TAKE SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN THERE AND HAS THE KNOW HOW TO WORK AROUND THE WHITEHOUSE.AMERICA WILL DESERVE WHAT THEY GET IF THIS ARROGANT ,HYPOCRITICAL, RACIST BECOMES ELECTED. HE ALREADY ACTS LIKE HE CAN WALK ON WATER,AND THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT.,IS HIS SUPPORTERS ARE SO LOST THEY BELIVE HE IS THE SECOND COMMING. OBAMA IS A BIG JOKE. HE IS A CHICAGO CON MAN.

To Mr Miller on his how can we let ignorant uneducated people vote? How stupid you are. We don't LET people vote. It is our right as an American to be able to vote and who are you to judge anyone. Just because a person doesn't have a college education and or degree does not make ignorance. This is just another of the media's ploy to cause discontent and hate. You are ignorant.

What a bunch of cry babies supporting Clinton. Why don't someone stick a baby bottle in their mouths already.

They continue to support a selfish, dishonest candidate that's still trying to spin the number to keep from facing facts. She'll be lucky to hold on to her Senate seat.

Please vote for the guy that looks like he played on Tales from the Crip because Obama will make up the difference with independents and African-Americans coming out in record numbers in November.

"Hillary is the stronger candidate and if the Party wants to keep its conservative base and win in November she should be the nominee."

That's funny, I didn't think the Democratic Party had a "conservative base." Where on Earth did that come from?

Don't get me wrong, there are SOME self-described conservatives who consider themselves Democrats, but not many. They certainly aren't the "base" of the party in any meaningful sense.

If it's a question of keeping the conservatives or the liberals, the Democrats would be foolish to choose the former, because most conservatives will vote for McCain anyway.

CLINTON SUPPORTERS, ENOUGH is ENOUGH The line between the two Democratic Senators is right down the middle and it's extremely thin. Clinton 'the shoe in' can't seem to convince everyone that she is the better candidate, as much as Obama can't convince others.

But, TRUTH be told. Its OBAMA that has the entire world's attention!!

This would be a complete, an absolute sleeper of an election, if Obama wasn't in the race.

Why Senator Obama cannot do the victory dance………..becuase, there really is no reason. He won and yet his opponent is being forced to have grace, dignity and integrity. woops his opponent will be embaressed because she lost. So the american people are being forced to swallow and the embarresement of defeat is prolonged because why? no reason.

Operation Chaos is still in effect.

Do not get played for a fool by the republicans.

Most of the democratic 'infighting' consists of republican plants posing as democrats.

A vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush, or worse.

Don't let yourself get used and deceived.

Vote Democrat '08

Repubs and Clinton supporters need a hug...bashing Oregon because we favor Obama....poor sweeties!!

Oregon has plenty of rural whites...to think otherwise is completely ignorant. That said, we do not make decisions based on what the MSM and Clinton machine feed us. We laughed at the sight of Cinton downing shots and eyerolled at her moving the goalposts ALL OVER THE COUNTRY (funny how the goalposts were never placed here). Oregon is independent minded and, based on the issues, we know who will represent the best interests of Democrats.

Knowledge is POWER.

I may even go biblical on you a little Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge,

LES- WV
Let me remind you it was Bill Clinton started race a wild card in the primary and it was Hillary supporters claimed that Black people vote for Obama and he cannot win white people.

Now what?

kentucky has more blacks than in Oregon, still Hillary will carry kentucky.

Please open your eyes

Put the democrat in WH or go on another 4 years like this.

Also Obama was in Kenntucky and WV. But he is giving Hillary to chance to exit gracefully after this.

Why is everyone so angry? Shouldn't we all just try to come together as democrats? Why are the Hillary supporters that angry if she is not the nominee? Don't you think it wrong that she agreed to certain rules at the beginning, but then wanted the rules to be changed? That's not really fair is it? What if she promised the country something and then decided to change her mind? Would you be upset about that? Let's just try to support whoever the nominee is. We need some type of peace.

" But think of the person who makes $1200-$1500 a month – for them the 30-70 dollar savings is a huge amount. And besides she is proposing this to be a temporary one. And anyways how stupid does barack sound when he says that he will give out a $1000 tax credit but cannot stand behind a $30-$70 rebate? Where is he going to get that money? And besides why can't he divert that budget towards the repair of highways and bridges? And why can he not eliminate the heavy subsidies that the gas/oil companies get nowadays? And why can he not control the price of oil through diplomacy? Since he wants to talk to every tom dick and harry? I don't believe he would be able to control gas prices but he definitely can go after the oil companies and remove all the subsidies."

30-70 dollars over the summer comes out to 10- 15 dollars a month. Is that really worth loss of jobs, worse roads and bridges, and potentially higher prices in the future because of the "relief" why does EVERY economist whose job is to analyze these things believe its a HORRIBLE idea.

Also, please tell me how clinton will get this done when summer is a month away and it would have ot be written up, discussed and voted on in congress, and then signed by the president. All in one month, and I sure as hell dont hear about Clinton spending time in washington trying to make this happen. Its a gimmick for votes that will never happen anyways, and for some reason, people fell for it.

Dan,

Caucus is UNDEMOCRATIC, I've attended caucus here in my state, I was horrified how callous are workers for Obama and they're REPUBLICANS, Talking about muscling out supporters of Hillary.

Caucus MUST be eliminated, we don't have a caucus in general election, we use SECRET BALLOT.

I don't know where I've been but apparently, I have missed some huge breaking news. According to this article, the Obama supporters
are highly educated and affluent as opposed to the red-necked, ignorant, 5th grade educated white voters.

Since I have read that 92% of the African American population votes for Obama, can someone tell me when the AA community all earned college degrees and highly lucrative positions?

Some making such stupid statements CNN. You've been stumping for Obama from the beginning. Clinton suporters are not stupid racists. Did it ever for a moment dawn on you that we back her because we think she will do a good job? Could it be a simple as that?

No, couldnt be. That wouldn't galvanize the Obama supporters to attack at all costs those of us who prefer. Not becaue she's white, not because she's a woman, but because we like her stand on the issues important to us.

And Obama supporters, we know Obama has 400 paid bloggers and I suspect most of the remarks here are by many of them. You can tell their inteligence in their confused syntax, poor grammer, atrocious spelling and childish taunts. Yes, that's the way to talk the Clinton supporters into voting for Barack! Keep at it. You're truly helping your cause. .

Why Senator Obama cannot do the victory dance...........becuase, there really is no reason. He won and yet his opponent is being forced to have grace, dignity and integrity. woops his opponent will be embaressed because she lost. So the american people are being forced to swallow said defeat because why? no reason.

Hello,
Old school Southern racist is the reason Hillary will win and she's embracing them!! She knows exactly why she'll win again in Ky.

Perhaps the Obama supporters will realize they cost Obama the election in november.

good going keep it up. I am doing my part for you every day. I myself did some things in my past to sell to limo drivers cab drivers etc. i know why the limo driver knew him because he either had the stuff or knew where to get the stuff. I’ve been there . you are 100 percent true. i believe you

It's obvious that the Obama supporters believe Republicans are the ones saying they wont vote Obama in the general election. They like to believe whatever BS they can come up with to say that Obama will win in November. However, they are NOT listening to the centrist demorats. Thus they are in for a shock this November. Don't blame Hillary, go look in the mirror to see who is at fault. You ticked us off with your hate and base taste. We only reply with our vote.

I am so into this election primary. I am in my home most of the time and have been listening to EVERYTHING.......all the network and their different takes....all the "regular" pundits , and the different twists and turns go on and on and on till I'm ready to puke.
One thing has become very clear to me. Most of Obamas' proposed reforms are straight from Hillary's proposals and ideas. I watched him get better of obscuring and presenting those ideas as his own....matter of fact he got pretty good at it.
There is no way...absolutely no way.....that I would feel comfortable voting for this man. Besides, I don't like his arrogance.
And yes, Michelle is open to attacks by his opponents. He and his campaign attack the others' other halves, so why should she not be treated the same way. she is very active in his campaign and very vocal.

Obama can't get the 'uneducated' and 'older' votes, but can get the 'educated' and 'young' .. says it all!

How is someone more electable if they are losing in every way?

Race has everything and nothing to do with it. For example in North Carolina (NC) 92% of black voters voted for Obama. The black population in NC is only 14% yet Obama overwhelmingly won the state. Do the math he has the support of Whites, Hispanics, Catholics, etc. Because he is the first Black American with a real chance to win the White House some will vote for him or against him based soley on that reason. Most will vote, as always, their values and their desire for the future of our beloved country. Can't we drop the whole race thing. Even Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the KKK has endorse Obama. Truly that should be considered a change of heart. We must began to embrace those things which unite us behind one common goal and reject those things which divide us into our own self gratify ways of thinking. Obama did not steal the nomination from Clinton, the voters voted that way. Black American make up about 29% of the United States population and unfortunately only about 62% vote. Black Americans can not elect anyone for President alone. If you believe radical change is needed to put this country on the right track, vote Obama. If you believe the present policies are good but needs some tweaking to make them better, vote McCain. I simply encourage you to vote your conscience and put the race thing behind us.

Kentucky democrats are MODERATES regardless of their race, Oregon democrats are ultra liberals. There's the answer to your question.

After blocking FL and MI, maybe we can rule that poor and uneducated people cannot vote either. Then Obama can have his little private preppy club!

How is he a liberal again? We need a new liberal party – the DNC has failed.

The correct word is education and not affluence. All the uneducated whites are following her. Anybody can guess why? Becuase they still are far behind in making the US a perfect union. It is as simple as that.

I am so sick and tried of the media and Camp Clinton saying that Obama has a problem with white blue collar voters and black people are voting for Obama. Please! Are there only white blue collar voters in the state of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky? Are there only black people in the rest for the other 32 states Obama has won? HELL NO! There are blue collar worker all over this country, in states where Obama won. Also, whites make up the majority of this country population and Obama has won more white votes than black votes. He is just able to win white and black votes, because this country is ready for and need to CHANGE! Just like Bill Clinton did in 1992.
So please, Hillary and the media, give it a rest!

Stop this negativity Democrats, we have let the media and the republicans tear OUR party apart. The facts are that Clinton underestamated alot of states and Obama seized the opputunity. Now that Obama has a comfortable lead he is pushing forward to the general election. Obama has won states were there are virtually no African Americans. Clinton has not won over all White Americans. Stop race dividing and be color blind. Who honestly expected Obama to win every single American in every state, same goes for Clinton. I am so dissapoint at Ameicans who have been decieved by the perception of facts the media has presented and not the real issues. Some of you sound like children taking these emotional strikes at the Democratic candidate. Many of you claim to be religous people and to read some of the things you are writing is sooo ungodly and unAmerican.

"Bill Clinton won in Kentucky in 1992 and 1996. Obama did not even bother to campaign in Kentucky, same thing he did with WV. People in Kentucky wanted to know the person they're voting for, it is not enough you run campaign ads and expect them to vote for you. Obama has 19 offices all over Kentucky but his presence in that state, is ZERO. He flood the state with campaign ads on TV and radio.

Don't even talk about racism again or say whites are racist in Kentucky, if you're seriously running for President, you cannot alienate one state or two and expect them to rally behind you in general election when you IGNORE them in primary election.

Obama has shown his ARROGANCE and ELITIST attitude which I find totally deplorable. These name labeling calling people who did not vote for him as uneducated, dumb, stupid, racist, hillbillies, ignorant, bitter etc. etc. will definitely bite him if he's the nominee for the democratic party.

Hillary talks with the people of Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana instead of talking to them. Arkansas is a good example of high percentage of African-Americans, they did not vote for Obama, they voted for Hillary, they know her, the work she had done for the state of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was their governor. How come none of you pundits talk about it? Are blacks in Arkansas racist because they did not vote for Obama? Are they dumb and stupid because they did not vote for media's golden boy?"

So you must really hate Hilliary who said the 12 states that hold caucuses dont count and ignored them. 109 million in 9 years, cant even work a coffee pot or pump gas and she has the nerve to call obama the elitist?

How can she except to win the general election by ignoring 25 percent of the country who happens to hold caucuses during the primiary?

Alex in TX is absolutely correct on his comments........the less people have ....the more suspicious and less tolerant they are of those who may be different..........it's sad but true.

I'd like to welcome y'all to Klantucky!

Conclusion: It's mostly ignorant, uneducated, people who like Hillary.

Is it true that Mrs. Mcain is a former perscription pill drug addict? If so, then if I were the Dems, I would ask is this the kind first lady you want in the white house – again ...aka. Pat Nixon and Betty Ford.

Barack needs to brush up on his articles, but I still think he's a hell of a guy.

Um....Clinton is ahead in Kentucky, Obama in Oregon. Given that both senators are liberal (aren't they?), then can we conclude that liberal=willing to vote for a black man, conservative=unwilling to vote for a black man? If it's something other than that, I'd like to know.

We'll see how the votes actually go tonight.

OBAMA "08

stinky hillary get out now!!!!!!!!!

The vast majority of the black community, those who do actually vote, are voting for Obama for one reason only, thoough they will never admit it. Because he is BLACK!

As if a person's gender or color should qualify them to hold the highest position in the country. If, and that is a huge "If" and very unlikely scnario, that Obama should win, the black community will see that nothing will change for them.

The only good thing to come from an Obama win would be to finally see the Rev's Sharpton, Jackson and Wright exposed for the frauds and clowns that they have always been in their communities and on the poltical stage. No longer will they be able to use the race excuse, play the race card and whine about how the white man is responsible for every ill in the black man's life. Finally, the weak foundation for which they have built their so'called careers will be ripped from beneath them and they will be exposed as the loud-mouthed jokers that they hve always been. They will have to get REAL JOBS!!!! They must be terrified that Obama could win.

You don't have to be educated or rich to recognize what Obama brings this country vs what Hillary would have you think she would. You just need to let go of the past and look to the future and think for yourself. You don't need to believe what the Clintons are trying to make you think they are. Look at their millions....they didn't get it by being fair to the American people.

Please use your heads Kentucky. Do you really want a woman who flip flops in personality so much? One day she plays the victim, the next scolding, the next crying, the next landing under sniper fire, and then the fighter who wants to oblitherate Iran.

Hillary

I never thought I'd say this, but I was for Obama at first, but then he turns into an elitist snob. Then Hillary is going essentially "I told you so". She's right, she is more electable, and frankly Obama thinks he has to "perfect this nation". What does that mean? What is means is that Obama is an elitist of the highest magnitude and is a gawd awful choice for a nominee, much less President.

I love the way these "smart" Obama supporters make the dumbest logical conclusions.

Because most people with a high income and college education are voting for Obama, it therefore follows that anyone who doesn't for him is stupid and poor?

Your education was a waste of money.

Very well said Joe (in Kentucky)

And I'd also like to point out that for some of the Clinton fans that not voting for Obama is calling them racist....we're not talking about you, we are talking about the 26% of people WHO ADMITTED THAT RACE WAS AN ISSUE. Since when does race deem how someone will run the country? How about sex? Should gender determine who should run the country? It's so ridiculous some of the arguements that come out from the other camp.

You're "bitter" than your candidate lost – we get that. But if the majority of the country is saying one Obama over Clinton by their votes, then maybe the majority is right.

He'll do fine once Clinton is out of the running. She's lied and manipulated these "blue collar, rural, uneducated voters" into voting for her. It is said that they've fallen for her lies but it is what it is. Once they have a chance to compare Barack giving the same message as Clinton (only positively and honestly) vs John McCain and his far right views they'll vote Barack. These are voters that will always vote democratic. Let's hope the women in this category aren't stubborn.

To Hillary 08 Comment: ...I can't believe it… Finally, the pundits agree that Hillary is the more electable candidate….

This is only based on the old election map! Now is 2008! Get it ???? We have totally new election unless you want to have the continuation of old politic like Bush/McCain and worst yet, Clinton Dynasty!

Don't be FOOLED by The Clintons!

it's called racism. plain and simple.

Why would anyone realistically still cast a vote for Clinton? The race is over, she cannot win. After tonight the numbers will be solidified, do you think they'll get it then?

Boy the rightie spammers are out in full force today!

We love you Obama. I think he is gonna make a great president '08'. Obama will unite the world. although, I see the Clinton and Obama ticket 'hint' 'hint'. It will be great for the world and the democrats.

Vote smart
Vote OBAMA

Most of Hillary's supporters will be smart enough to vote for the democratic nominee in November which will be Obama. The few that are trying to prove a point by threatening to vote for McCain aren't proving anything except for their stupidity.

As I read some of these quotes, they seem divisive, I know there are republicans doing their best to cause chaos. As democrats we must unite for the general election.

Hillary and Bill's tax returns show who the rich folks are. Obama's money comes from the books he wrote years ago. He was raised by a mostly single parent, lived on food stamps, was schooled on scholarships and recently paid off his law school debt. Is the man bright? Yes! But an elitist? Not so much.

this is for Rich you're a big loser

Janey – there is a difference between arrogance and having confidence in yourself. Elitist is probably another wrong word to used to decribe him as well but that is your perogative. I'm sure Obama supporters have a few choice words that they could call Senator Clinton and Senator McCain but I am not one of those. I have chosen my candidate to support based on the issues – not things that I have heard other candidates and pundits say about them.

Obama is an arrogant racist who has extremely poor judgment. Let him become the nominee and when we Democrats lose AGAIN in November, let us keep our mouths shut. No whining, no complaining, no finger pointing. For the first time in decades the WHite House and the Congress are ours for the taking and yet again, the Democratic Party, the superdelegats, the apathetic American voters are just going to let it run through their hands like water.

How nothing could have been learned from the last 8 horrific years under the republican dictatorship is inconceivable to anyone with an ounce of sense. However, the Democrats and the voters never fail to surprise.

Hillary, though I admit not the greatest choice, but the only other we have, is the only one to beat McBush in November, yet she will not be the nominee. We deserve to lose once again!

Because Clinton campaigned in Kentucky & Obama didn't? Maybe if Obama had put more time into the state, the gap would be smaller, closed, or even reversed – we'll never know. Obama felt he had to get going with the general election and who can blame him.

I'm so sick of the media labeling the supporters of the Democratic candidates. I am an African American woman with a degree in Biology and I support Hillary. My boss is a white female with a Ph.D who supports Hillary. My friends who are in grad school support Hillary. My boyfriend who is AA with a college degree and is a Desert Storm Vet supports Hillary. My parents who are both accountants and college educated support Hillary. Could anyone please tell me where do you see "uneducated blue collar workers" in this comment?

> WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!

Yeah, go right ahead. We Obama supporters are fairly well off and can weather another 4 years of unemployment, high gas prices, continued war, outsourcing of jobs and funding of special interests groups under McCain. Don't come back here looking for a handout when Grandpa McCain gets through having his way with you.

Bill Clinton carried Kentucky and West Virginia, but since he left the White House, those states have gone Republican. Why?

Is it because the Democrats haven't put up a candidate that can talk their language, or is it because Bill's policies left the people of those states abandoned and subject to the "guns, God, and gays" strategy of the Republicans?

Perhaps if Bill Clinton had taken care of business, those states wouldn't be at the bottom of the socioeconomic barrel and would be more solidly in the Democratic camp.

can we stop this silly "elitist" talk. you dont have to like obama for his policies, but please learn the TRUTH of who he is before you flap your yap!!! he is NOT elitist, he is the american dream, what this country is all about-if you work hard, you can achieve what you want. obama grew up with a single mother, worked his @$$ off to get scholarships for high school and college, had to have a job throughout both. it's actually mccain who grew up with the best opportunities, and then hillary.

just b/c he's well-spoken doesnt mean obama is elitist, it's one of obama's strengths (and a big weakness of mccain's) so of course his opponents have to twist it into a negative. please think for YOURSELVES this time; you got us 8 years of bush, dont give us 4 more with mcsame. and dont just LISTEN to what mccain says, go back and look at his voting record to see how truly lock-step he is with bush, the most disastrous president in US history!!!!!!!

I cant believe people honestly think Hillary can win in November. By her own actions she will lose just enough of the Black and youth vote to lose. The racist in WV and Kentucky will be worse off under McCain then I will ever be.

Janey, Clinton and McCain both are a lot more affluent and further removed from the the average American than Obama. They have also been playing the "game" longer. This is why they were able to put the 'affluent' label on a Black American who did well for himself, bought up poor by his single mother and grand parents. I mean think about it. You'd have to be a master b-artist to make that stick. But one thing is clear, people who have the hardest time tend to be angrier in general. Any black American can tell you that poor white communities tend to have more racist then more affluent ones. That fact only shocked the racist.

Never vote Obama don't let yourselves be hoodwink by this sexist who only cares about himself. After 20 years of church bigotry and racism we heard his opinions in San Francisco and know what he thinks of white blue collar workers.

You might want to remember that there is a HUGE difference between uned;ucated and stupid. Some of the people I saw at the State Democratic Convention in Reno NV didn't have a clue! I don't have a college degree but I certainly read up on the issues and the platforms of the candidates. You would not believe the huge number of people that were screaming for their candidate and then argued everything that was being voted on with the most moronic statements. It scares me sh**less that these are the people that are voting...and yes they are so blindly faithfull to their candidate that even though Bill Clinton himself said in his speech at this convention that we MUST vote for the Democratic candidate in the fall, NO MATTER who it is, these idiots were still screeching that they would never support Obama. Sorry Bill, and Ms. Berkely, and Ms. Titus and Senator Reid that your call for unity fell on so many deaf ears. It did reinforce to me that a good number of Clinton supporters (Not all, thank God!) are truly narrowminded and stupid!

Stop trying to make this man the black candidate. He is getting the same amount of black votes that Bill Clinton got. Could it be people just like what they hear.

Did anyone see the WHITE LADY from Kentucky on CNN this morning say "the Bible says a woman's place is in the home" when asked if she would be voting for Hillary Clinton?

Has anyone noticed that Obama is loosing Ststes?????

He won alot before The Rev. Wright, 'Bitter" comments, Michelle Obama's comments. People don't trust and believe him.

Which is the lessor of two evils
1.McCain
2. Obama

As a democrat I will vote for McCain.

Everybody has problems.......what candidate doesn't have problems with a certain group of voters? Talk about something more meaningful.

I think Sentor Obama was not fair to the people of WVa and Ky as well as Ohio. He spent more time else where than in these three states.
I certainly hope the day after he is nomintated he begins a bus tour of these three states. This will prove to the people he really needs them and their support. Then he can have meetings to move onward throughout America.

<– WHITE, EDUCATED, AFFLUENT, CONSERVATIVE for Obama in 08.
Iran is no threat to the USA.

Why Because the West Coast is loaded with left wing liberals. These are the Obamabots that think they are better than the rest of us loyal working Americans.
You Obamabots can call me Racist all you want, but it is not about Race it is about Loyalty. Semper Fi.

I'm not in any party yet. But I'm confused with what is going on. Now, if Clinton thinks she is the best conadidate, why then should the party waste time and resourses conducting primaries? Why should they let all these millions of people go to polls if it doesn't count?

Again, I want Clinton to put herself in the shoes of Obama, If she is in his shoes now, will she feel alright to be given her opponent the nomination even though she is leading in all counts? The Bible says "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU"

Thanks

I am a Hillary supporter, but I believe that Obama has been sent from God.

Because Obama did not campaign there and is concentrating on November!

As simple as that!

Obama has brought in many Republicans.

Many, Many young voters.

He is all about bringing in every person in American regardless of religion, race, sex, age.....

Tell me...how on Gods green earth is that a bad thing? And for the life of me, why is it now a bad thing to have a college degree???? Do you NOT want your children, grandchildren along with every child in America to be educated to their fullest potential?

I get the frustration that your or my candidate may loose, but I am certainly not going to make sure that me, my family and everyone else suffer because of I am frustrated that I did not get my way.

If you're white and you vote for Hillary you're considered a racsist.. If you're black and vote for Obama simply because also is black you're not a racist? Oh please.. When 90% of blacks vote for Obama that's not racist??? Reverse racism also exists. Stop trying to play the race card Koolaid drinkers. Wait till November. You'll see how racist this country is when whites vote for Hillary and blacks vote for Obama and he still loses...

Love,
Not a Koolaid driker.

Experience over rhetoric.

Hillary 08!

The Creditcard Republicans want you and I to pay their bills now that they are due.I say lets make them pay the bill and take their tax cuts to themselves with 50% interest.

<-White affluent blue collar American Conservative voting for Obama.
PEACE

John, Spend 6 months in rural Kentucky. When you return to NYC you'll understand why.

I don't really know what it is.... It just seemed to me that Hillary wasn't sincere... that it was only about the win and her agenda. Her attempt at making herself seem like an average American seemed fake to me....afterall she's made $109 million. And when she pulled the "gas tax".... that was it. To be that was insulting.

Obama just seems more real to me. He's doesn't come off like he's trying to be perfect. He make mistakes...and acknowledges them. I applaud that. He definitely comes across as a geniune person. I got the total opposite feeling from Hillary.

hillary is irrelevant.

McCain is more like LBJ than Bush...

Obama is the second coming of Jimmy Carter...

If you don't like it or hate what I just said, then you clearly have not done one scratch of research on your candidate of choice...

the only true republican is Ron Paul... the rest are just liberals in sheeps clothing... and all I hear are "democrats" yelling at the GOP... they are you 40 years ago...

wake up and smell reality... it smells like freedom...

Carl

WH

Typical non-factual statement from a Hillary supporter. Both states that are voting for Hillary have a higher poverty rate then Oregon, so using your logic used just proved Obama to be the better candidate.

To clearly state, Oregon does NOT have one of the higher poverty rates in the U.S. and to the contrary the Southern states do!

I am so sick of the mis-statement and half truths and outright lies. Why do I even have to go look it up to disprove you? It makes me sick.

So it's not necessarily about race as have always been propagated by the media afterall.

Bill Clinton tried to insert "race" into the race but it backfired on their campaign. They would have won the nomination if he hadn't brought the race factor in because that ticked the African-Americans off.
His "fairy-tale" rant has become "reality-tale."

We're watching to see if the Republicans will also take that route – the results will still be the same.

Anyone who thinks they'll cross over and vote repub, or not vote, out of spite, needs to remember, we live in a democracy. We follow whomever is elected, regardless of party or ideology because we accept that the majority rules. Those in the minority may not like it, but no one rebels because their candidate loses. Obama and Clinton are almost identical in their ideologies. You either believe in pro-choice or you don't. You either believe in social programs like universal health care or you don't. You either believe that corporate wellfare needs to be abolished or you don't. You either believe the war in Iraq must end or you don't. Those democrats who hiss and spit like alley cats over one candidate or another need to recall it's not the person who advances these platforms, but the party. If you don't believe in those things that the party belives in, then leave. But don't call yourself a democrat if you plan to abandon the party merely because your candidate couldn't make the cut.

Lower educated people are easily mislead,many are so stubborn because they do not like to show thier lack of education.Obama is not snubbing the lower educated,they are snubbing him because of his achievements.Hillary plays on this lack of understanding,she minipulates them.

Why ? If you're smart you vote for Obama – that's why.

Gallup Poll – Election News
Key Clinton Constituencies Moving Toward Obama NEW May 20, 2008
Barack Obama’s widening lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationwide brings with it important gains among Clinton’s core constituencies, including women, whites, and the non-college educated. Obama is now the overwhelming favorite among 18- to 29-year-olds, men, and postgraduates

John, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

It always amazes me that it is not brought up by the press that Hillary and Bill Clinton enjoyed an Ivy League education like Obama. It's a big mystery to me that Obama is defined by some as an elitist. He got his Harvard education through student loans. The Clintons are extremely wealthy whereas Obama is not. If Hillary is getting the "non-educated" vote it is because she has snowed that group like the Republican fear mongers.

I for one am gleeful that Hillary (Hitlery) is out.

I could have voted for any woman other than Hillary / Ferraro

WHY OH WHY do Obamabots cry racism if people don't vote for Obama???

God forbid people (white, black, yellow, purple, etc) reject Obama because of his lack of experience, socialist agenda, and unelectability.

It's a case of Educated People vs those with plain common sense (the backbone of the US of A), compounded by white liberal guilt.

because people arent as stupid as the media likes to tell us they are--most people are not basing their vote on race or gender, they are voting for the candidate they feel will be better for the country!!! these results arent surprising in any way; oregon is a more progressive state in general, so we want obama. clinton seems to be getting the more conservative states. no story here, CNN, so move on.....

Anyone who thinks they'll cross over and vote repub, or not vote, out of spite, needs to remember, we live in a democracy. We follow whomever is elected, regardless of party or ideology because we accept that the majority rules. Those in the minority may not like it, but no one rebels because their candidate loses.

Democracy is about simple rules and simple math. You set the rules and then the one who reaches the objective first is declared the winner. Only the tally, according the rules counts. A vote or a delegate cannot be qualifies by colour, region, religion, race or opinion. Period, end of story

Everyone is saying that the less educated are more prone to vote for Hillary and the educated are more prone to vote Obama.

I don't think it is necessarily a matter of education, I think it is more the ability to access different sources of information. Obviously the less affluent people have less access to cable channels, computers (the internet) and other resources that they might utilize to get to know the canidates better. They are not able to seek out the sources that may present a different view of their particular canidate so they go with what they know.

This does not make these people "bad" or "stupid", it only emphasizes how some segments of the population are being left behind and we need to focus on these segments and get them the tools they need to move into the future.

I am African-American and a Hillary supporter. I really wish people would stop the name-calling. Why is it racist if 40-60% Whites vote for Hillary , but it is not racist if African-Americans vote 90+% for Obama? Maybe people are just voting their best interest. I do not appreciate being called a traitor because I do not support Obama, so does that mean that the Whites that do not support Hillary are traitors. Let's all just stop the foolish. The people in WV, Kentucky and any other state can vote for whomever they want for whatever reason. They are equally as qualified as "affluent" voters to determine who they want to vote for. It does not take a college degree to vote. By the way, I am a college-educated, professional female, life-long Democrat of 30+ years who will support Hillary until she decides to get out race. It is obvious to me that Obama will get the nomination, but I am not sure who/if I will vote for in the General election. Michelle Obama made the comment that "If Hillary gets the nomination, I do not know if Barack and I can support her". If a presidental candidate's wife is not a party loyalist, then Hillary supporters that choose not to vote for Obama should not be critized for their decision.

Hillary....if not in '08, then in '12....no Obama dynasty!

I cant wait until you Obamabots are humiliated this NOVEMBER!

You will lose for sure…..and everyone OF YOUR BACKER ARE WORRIED RIGHT DOWN TO THE MEDIA! YEAH THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM..THE MEDIA HAS ADMITTED THAT "OBAMA HAS ALOT OF WORK TO DO!"

Do you think many of us are not educated, hold decent jobs, or old bitter people? Are you kidding me? You obamabots hold hateful perceptions in which you visibly display on a daily basis its sickening! Who wouldn't react! You play the RACE CARD, snub people who CHOOSE not to agree with your PERCEPTIONS OF A CANDIDATE OF YOUR LIKING? And when you find out the majority of voters who chose Hillary have a lower SES (thats social economic status you pinheads who claim to know so much), you antagonize and jeer at their judgment? You also have the audacity to ridicule our choice of candidate because you claim we are basically "an old and bitter? THIS IS THE CHANGE I WANT???? FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!! One poster said it in one freeking sum! KARMA!!! REAP IT! CAUSE IT IS COMING BACK AT YOU AND IT IS NOT SLOWING DOWN!

You do not represent the kind of CHANGE AMERICA WANTS (YOU BIGOTS, SEXISTS, ELITISTS AND SHOW SO MUCH AGEISM) AND YOU WILL FIND OUT IN NOVEMBER ! About 1/2 of the constituency will leave OBAMA ON HIS OWN. He cannot win try as hard as you can……………………..we will not unite with you!

GET OVER IT!

I expect all the true democrats to vote for the Obama ticket this fall, at least if they are true to policy differences between democrats and republicans.

If they go republican then they are obviously not committed to the policies of the democrats but opportunistic and only vote for the ones that they think will bring them the gravy.

Having said that: if the more affluent dems vote for Obama then they must be willing to sacrifice an extra portion of their income on taxes to help the less affluent out. Now that is someting I applaud, and something the Clinton supporters should think about deep and hard.

The people you are trashing are the same ones who are willing to put their money where their mouth is. In these trying economic times that shows commitment and caring for your fellow man/woman.

Whatever makes you people think you are better people because you can afford more "book learning"? it seems to have the effect of making you sound more naive and out of touch with the rest of America. We are all working and paying taxes so you can enjoy your "schooling". Dream on, Obamabots–you are not more intelligent, nor are you more "savvy".

Democrats, Independents & Republicans who have experienced the pinch in their own lives due to the economy, health care, education, war, etc if you vote for McBush you do so at your own peril. This guy is so out of touch. If you desire more of the same and enjoy complaining then vote for McCain.
For those who now want to question the rules of the primaries, isn't is strange that now the rules that have been in place forever are suddenly unfair. Obama has won thus far fair and square and if Hillary truly loves the Democratic party she will bow out gracefully and tell her supporters to get on board. I will blame Hillary and her antics if the party remains divided. It is sad and shameful that this woman who I greatlly admired has sunk to such a low just to satisfy her ego.

I am far from sheltered. Have you slpet on a bench or in bushes because you had nowhere else to go? I pulled up my straps and made something of myself.

Janey, you are out of touch. Probably never had dirt under your fingernails. I am far from elite. I had to work for it. I love my Mercedes and feel bad that you are probably driving a Yugo.

Because: the 2008 presidential election is a referendum on how America feels about themselves, and how Americans feel about each other.
Each state and territory will show its true colors by voting for/against a middle-age white woman, a youthful black man, or an elderly white man.

During this process, we'll realize we don't really like each other that much, but in the end, we'll have to come together in order to succeed as the United States of America.

Enjoy the geography and demography lessons, and always remember, we are a melting pot of opinions and biases, but we are still one NATION.

Obama is the only one able to put us ALL back together.

Obama 08/12. Yes We Can!!!

Simple, but not politically correct: Kentucky-under educated white racially bias.Oregon-educated white non racially bias.

Education Education Education
This is the most important gift a human should have

The Truth,

Great analysis-you're spot on!

As a well-educated Oregonian, I want to say that I do not own two houses or a boat or any of the other stereoptypical descriptions above. Mommy and daddy didn't pay for my education; I worked my way through school and spent 15 years paying off my student loans. I am self-employed and I work my tail off to pay my mortgage every month. I pay over $700 per month for health insurance that I am afraid will be cancelled if I get sick. Yes, I am educated, but I am far from affluent. Knock off the stereotypes. Yes, I voted for Obama because if we don't kick the lobbyists out of Washington and return our democracy to The People, we are doomed. The founding fathers understood that true democracy can only exist with a well-educated populace. Obama understands that connection, too. You can't solve the problem if you are the problem. We need on outsider like Obama to come into Washington and clean house!

Because the people in Oregon want to divide this country that's why their
close their eyes and vote for Obama and other thing is Oregon people support Republican party and their want Obama to lose in general election. Other states that vote for Hillary is their care about American and their vote for the most experience that's going to turn this country back and unit all American. Obama sound like unit American but the point is not he going to divide American like Bush look in the future if Obama get elect this country going to divide Black and White and Christian and Islam.

It brings tears of happiness to my eyes predicting the future knowing Obama will be the next President of the United States.

So many people in the USA are thinking about the future. About making this world a better place.

I understand Mcain's and Hillary's reasons and their supporters reasons. But there comes a time in everyone's life when they have to stop being selfish and arrogant. Even if they are rich or poor. Educated or not educated.

Its time we all stopped the name calling and the insults and figure out a way to bring pride and power back to the USA.

The first step is choosing the right President and senator Obama is the one. Go Obama! 8&12

The answer is simle. Hillary Billary supporters are less educated and easy manipulated by her. Obama supporters are educated and too smart to be manipulated by Hillary Billary clan.

I would like to know how Hilary understands a fact that those who know how to read ,write and think will not by any chance vote for her???

It's about time we elect someone with brains again...and leadership skills. I continue to be in awe of Barack and his wife both.

Bush was elected by a stupid faction of our population or by people just behaving stupidly at the time. People, smarten up! We deserve better!

And Obama is NOT arrogant! Have you met him? Believe me, he's not.

Could it be that race, as a factor, is relative to the region of the country in question? Perhaps the biigger is question is...well, I'll say that for another time.

Such arrogance by these Obama "fans"! They think this is all game to be won by them (the affluent). Typical sheltered group of people. I hope McCain or Clinton crushes them in votes. Dream on–the people who do not want Obama are not all REPUBLICANS–ONLY PEOPLE WHO SEE OBAMA FOR WHAT HE IS–an elitist who thinks he can fool all of the people all of the time. Truth is, he only fools this select group–not a majority of Americans by any means!

It's amazing how the demography of the US is so polorized!

I'd think issues like the Iraq War, The War on Terrorism, our global reputation, gasoline prices, healthcare, the rate of unemployment, climate change, preserving the environment and America's economic positioning would be something that we all have in common.

Vote for whomever you wish to vote for! That's why we are the greatest democracy on Earth!

I mean... someone has to lose and the winner will be EVERYONE'S president.

PLEASE!.. keep the issues intimate and press ALL the candidates to work for YOU... better yet, US!

Hillary has a problem with (the) Bush. Is she wrangling over "Dorito Chip", "Landing Strip", or "Brazillian"?

She is divisive and shameful. MCCAIN is a deutche bank and has little arms.

Kentucky, be real and do not vote for the politics of the old school, VOTE FOR CHANGE.!

Mccain right now is stumping Cubans in FL. He is really scary.

Here we go again on education. I know only us uneducated folks vote for Hillary. So Kentucky and Oregon if you vote for her you're just dumb. RIGHT? I wonder who's taking the poll on high school drop outs and who they're voting for. I'm sick of you CNN. I will say congatulations are in order to you. You just about have your candidate in office.

I just wish the people will take note of OBAMA'S world of homosexual activity, cocaine and Larry Sinclair and the murder of Obama's man Young.

This is going to be an interesting election considering that Clinton thinks that Obama only gets the African American vote. He just might pull it off with Kentucky with a close margin of 1 or 2% like Indiana election.

Shouldn't we be striving for higher education and greater affluence. I am so tired of these red herring stories that really lead to nothing.

The media needs to remind people from time to time that black Americans have voted DNC in large numbers in recent years. Remind people that Clinton had nearly 3/4 of the black vote last Thanksgiving.

Remind people that Hillary's disparaging MLK remarks lost many votes. Remind people that Bill attempted damage control by speaking on a number of national black radio shows, but put defended the remarks and put down Obama. Remind people that Bill sealed the deal with his Jackson comment in SC.

That is why 90% of black voters support Obama, not Hillary. It has little to do with race.

Just one question. When have you ever heard Obama say anything racist? When has he ever shown arrogance? He is confidant. As a president should be. He is also humble to what this country to what his country has allowed for him to become. Would you not be a little worried if he did not come across as confident, and believing in his ability?

I will vote for Obama but I won't like it. Many of the Obamabots have put a sour taste in our mouth by the attacks. Obama has won the nomination for all of the wrong reasons.

I know first hand. At the Iowa caucus, an African American women was being heckled by the Obama supporters. One man came over and asked her what she was doing. She said the Clintons have always supported her and she wouldn't abandon them. He then said, and I quote, "But he's a brother".

N'uff said.

The less educated
the easier to fool.

Until now this tactic has worked well for the Clintons.

Race in Race,

You do realize that there were just as many "race" incidents in Pennsylvania and Indiana that were far worse than what appeared in the media in WV, right?

I'm not trying to defend the people that voted against Obama here. Maybe some just liked Clinton...a lot of them just didn't like Obama (for obvious reasons), but to bring up the NPR coverage without raising the fact that race is an everpresent factor throughout the country is greatly unjust.

I guess some people will never change...but I voted for Obama in the primary and I can sleep sound at night knowing that I did.

Why?

Because stupid and ignorant people that are easily influenced by the mind games that the republican party and Clinton played, and vote against their political interest. How else did Bush serve two terms.

There should be a law that revokes the votes of people that are unable to think, read and write. Stupid people have done enough damage to this country.

If Hillary is truly the more electable of the democratic duo, then how come she is behind in virtually all relevant indices?

Today is the day when super delegates must come out and make Barack the nominee.

And the truly educated vote Nader.

Vote Nader (dot) Org

Make no mistake about it, women who say they will vote for McCain if Clinton is not the nominee are NOT FEMINISTS. Real feminists will fight in the streets before they will see conservative judges appointed to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Real feminists understand the importance of this election on this critical issue. They understand that without safe, legal abortion their daughters and granddaughters lives may be at stake. For you women out there who say you are Democrats but will vote for McCain, I hope you understand the consequences of your actions. Maybe it won't impact you personally, but it will the generations of women who will come behind you!

He's doing well in Oregon becasue that part of the country has a majority of far left liberals. They also in all of their college educated , extreme environmentalist ideals have one of the highest unemployment rates and poverty levels in the US. Go figure.

So sad that we (Democrats) let the media and politicians put an inexperienced person as the nominee for President. With the way the economy is and people losing their jobs, homes, etc we need someone in the WH with experience and not someone who wants to learn on the job!! Shame on the DNC for being so selfish! Remember that it will come back to bite you oneday!!
If you don't believe that Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama just watch the votes in Nov.
Obama supporters have been so cruel and down right mean when a supporter of Clinton states that they support her. This is not the way to win their support.
I guess they follow in the footsteps of Michelle Obama who said that Americans are just mean spirited and down right mean.
A supporter who is disappointed that this was a one sided race because there was a AA and a party that cried racism everytime something did not go their way!!

Just like West Virginia,

The only reason Hillary is projected to win big in Kentucky is one simple fact: Barack has not really campaigned in Kentucky, he spent about half a day there, just as he did in West Virginia. The more people get to know Barack, the more they come to understand and admire him.

Barack did not campaign in Kentucky, for one reason, and one reason only, to let Hillary shine for just a little while, just like he did in West Virginia.

Funny how the Obama folks claim the Hillary supporters are bitter, when I see a lot more anger, rancor and just plain mean comments coming from the Obama hopeful. I am a college-educated white woman, and I support Hillary because she is the best person to lead this country away from Bush's terror tactics and back into a good place in the world. I am seeing that the media has already annointed Barack, and that saddens me, because I don't think he can beat McCain, and then the world will end, as he will start bombing on day one, with Cheney right there beside him, grinning. So go ahead and count on your "hope" if you must. I'm hoping that some super-delegates can wipe the smoke and mirrors away long enough to admit that Hillary is the real deal. Alas, sexism reigns, and we will not have another woman running for many years. Men refuse to see a powerful woman as intelligent and capable. Sad, but true.
Oh, and you Obama people may be smarter in the polls, but you can't spell!

Hillary 08.......You are casting a vote for someone who's campaign hinges on sore losing Democrats and bigots. If you can't make an argument as to why you are voting for John McCain then why vote for him? And you are calling other Democrats stupid. LOL

Ugh Hillary 08, this is a PRIMARY!! Just because you win a Primary state doesn't mean you'll win it in the general! Obama can put more states in play than Hillary because of independent/ Republican voter support. You are so used to the old way of doing things that you can't believe that the electoral map can be changed this November. You are so stuck in your old ways that you have NO VISION. The purpose of the Democratic primary is to win the most delegates! Hillary is not more electable because she hasn't been vetted at all this primary season by the media. She has the highest negativity rating out of all the candidates still in contention. Just because she claims she won FL in the primary doesn't mean she'll win florida in the general. Sorry she has no argument and neither do you.

who cares???? The us is 80 percent white!!!! Stop spinning that minorities make up more than they do. Simple answer Kentucky is in the deep south, Oregon is not, the deep south is just that, Dixie...what do you need a history lesson??? But it is what it is, and instead of highlighting Dixie, we need to march forward from the old and towards a more unified Cou try. Also, what's with Ferraro calling Obama a comedian??? She is offensive by anybody's standards, and she sounds angry.

"Kentucky has a much higher percentage of African-American residents (7.3 percent) than Oregon (2 percent), yet Sen. Hillary Clinton is favored to win big in Kentucky, and Sen. Barack Obama is the heavy favorite in Oregon. Why?"

Becasue Oregon has a large number of intelligent, college educated high tech workers who have a clue.

The answer is education. Thank goodness Americans are not going to let uneducated, blue collar people pick their president anymore. If not because well educated people are participating, this country would have gotten another low life president.

Let's go Oregon, this needs to be wrapped up, good fight Clinton. No one is telling her to get out, however, ...handing writing on the wall...

It is time to unitify this party and move on, Mrs Clinton stop being desparate and aggressive it does not look good for you.

Obama 08

People are too stupid but not the Obama supporters. How can anyone believe anything that comes out of Hilary's mouth. I noticed in WVA she pronounced "something" "sumpun" just to act like she was a local. I see that she has given up her shots now that she's moved on from PA. SHE IS A FAKE and she will do ANYTHING to get elected including buying herself the nomination with her millions.

The pundits are drawing this whole thing out as long as possible because it makes for cheap TV. I can't believe how biased all of the news networks are to the underdog. When Hillary was ahead they backed Obama, now Obama's ahead they back Hillary. Either one would make a great president – but I'm sick of seeing interviews that blatantly slant against the front runner (whoever that is at the time) – and giving a very wide berth to the underdog by not following up on obvious lines of questioning.

Perhaps those people who haven't been lucky enough to acquire an education should take the opportunity now to educate themselves. They should be asking themselves "why are the better educated people voting for Obama? What does he offer that I don't see?" Likewise, they should ask themselves, " why do uneducated people veer toward Clinton? What does she offer that Obama does not?" This would close the gap between the educated & the undereducated, and they have the power. The only thing standing between those particular Clinton supporters and an education is reading. If they can do that, they can educate themselves to the point of equality.

Hillary 08 – Please stop being petty and get a life

Hillary and her supporters say:

If you are a white male and vote for Obama it's the old boys club....
If you are Black and vote for Obama it's because he's Black......
If you are a woman and vote for Obama you are a traitor..........
If you are a college student and vote for Obama you are just young....
If you are wealthy and vote for Obama you are an elitist.....
If you are a close friend and vote for Obama you are a Judas....
If you are a Super D and vote for Obama you were pressured....
If you are a Celebrity and vote for Obama you are an idiot....
If you are a in politics and you vote for Obama its to hurt her....
If you are an Independent and you vote for Obama he lied to you...
If you are a Republican and and you vote for Obama it's dirty....
If you fall into any other category and you vote for Obama your unfair...

But if you vote for Hillary than you know she is the best for this country?????.............Umm.....Get Real.....America Disagrees......

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!

Hillary 08....you think three talking heads on CNN represent the entire electorate and you're calling other's stupid.

Pick up the phone, it's the pot calling

Republican are in panic they do not know what to do. All those who claim they are Hillary supporters who wound't vote for obama if he is the nominee are Rush Limbo Republicans do not be fulled Democrats.

I just wanted to thank all of those that turned out in Oregon yesterday for Senator Obama. He gives me hope for a better future, a better United States, and a better World. I worry that others will not see that because I am still disillusioned by the system that allowed GW Bush back into office in '04 and am scared that I may be wrong in my judgement regarding the intelligence of our society as a whole again.

Based on the turnout in Oregon their are many more of you out there that hold out the same hope as I do for our future with Senator Obama, thank you for refreshing my hope in our future!

I will be thrilled when we move past this foolishness with Hillary, and I expect even fewer issues with McCain. It will be negative to be sure, but he is less formidable and equally as flawed as Hillary is.

I would have voted Dem either way, but at least I can be proud to vote for OBAMA!

Thank you Oregon & Senator Obama!

When did our country sink so low that we make it sound like being educated is something to be ashamed of? I had to work several jobs at a time to put myself through college, and have done the same for my graduate degrees. Being educated has nothing to do with not understanding hard work. It really upset me to hear Clinton supporters (like Bill yesterday) deride the "educated' as if we have some sort of "elitist" plague. Nice to see them pandering to the lowest common denominator....kinda like the current president has done for 8 years.

Because the people in Oregon are extreme liberals...and they will not be the ones that choose the President in November!!

I am with you on that Hillary 08!!

This is all the work of the Media and Howard Dean and the DNC!!!

GO HILLARY!!

If Hillary doesn't win the nomination...WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!

Parse and analize it all you want. Obama is winning because voters realize he is the only candidate that offers hope and change. .

We many, we happy many, we band of brothers and sisters. For those that vote with me in November for Obama shall ever be my Family. That vote shall change our condition. Voters that stayed away or voted otherwise shall think themselves accursed. And they shall stay silent while any speak that voted with us on that blessed day.

Stolen from Will….mangled by me

HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT

EXTREME POVETY

UNDER-EDUCATED

LOSS HOPE

Us educated voters are treated as if we're naive and inexperienced. Our votes are just as important and we take the time to research and weigh our options. This election is an example just how powerful we are. We're not trying to outwit anyone and it's a shame that those who think we hate them for not voting for Obama is a clear example of the cloudiness and lack of confidence some people have in our judgment. You have the right to vote, but it's also your responsibility to know who you're supporting BEFORE you pull the trigger. In my opinion, a vote for McCain is like turning the gun on ourselves.

I truly believe that both people who are educated and those without a degree have a since of pride not to be belittled by the Clintons. I really see senator Obama being a great president.. Those Clinton super delegates needs to unify under one leader.....that leader is senator Obama.....

Can't wait to see how they divide the race lines in Oregon!

Go Obama!

Obama appeals to this demographic because they had to endure 8 years listening to a President who could not string eight words together and make sense!
It must be exciting to have a young, dynamic, intelligent person running who can pronounce nuclear and doesn't rant how he is THE DECIDER! George Bush should go into stand up , he would appeal to all the red neck s out there. I am pulling for Barack as many Canadians are. We pray for his safety and God Speed!

Hillary will DEFINITELY not get 10% votes from B again though Bill has done lots for them during his presidency.

This is always true though CNN is reluctant to speak out this fact or even try to hide this.

I give up why?

oh, could it be because ppl from Oregon like Barack and ppl from Kentucky like Hillary? hmmmmmm that just might be crazy enough to be true.

obama can't attract blue collar workers, because he is an elitist. the only reason he gets the "educated" vote is because being the most liberal senator of 2007, leftist professors indoctrinate liberalism into the students. he will never reach the base of the democratic party. mccain and hillary's senate records are not that different, and "hillary democrats" will vote for mccain. NOBAMA!

IN THE STRANGE WORLD OF POLITICS WE FIND THAT THERE ARE NO REAL WINNERS OR LOSERS. BY THAT WE MEAN, THE WINNER
ALWAYS LOSES SOMETHING. IN MR. OBAMA'S CASE "TIME". IN HRC'S CASE, "MONEY AND RESPECT" BECAUSE NO WAY YOU CUT THE CAKE SHE IS THE LOSER. OUR PROBLEM NOW IS ONLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A WHOLE. WE BEING FROM N.C. AND HAVE THE MOST RELIABLE PULSE ON THE FEELINGS OF THOSE PEOPLE HRC IS TRYING TO USE AS HER EXCUSE FOR CON'T ON IS LIKE BLOWING A LITE MATCH IN THE WIND. THERE IS A STRONG WIND WITH MOST WHITE MALES IN OUR AREA AGAINST
HAVING A FEMALE (NO MATTER WHAT COLOR) IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE DON'T AGREE, BUT, THESE FEELINGS ARE BASED ON OLD SOUTHERN TRADITIONS. THESE STRONG FEELINGS ARE NOT FOUND IN THE HISPANIC AND BLACK MALES AS STRANGE AS IT MAT SOUND. ALL OF THEM WANT THIS THING OVER WITH BEFORE IT DESTORY OUR PARTY.

I hope we can win this election without Clinton Supports. What a bunch of bitter people. And yes that was a direct reference. Geraldine looked like a complete idiot on TV today. The whole world does not revolve around Hillary Clinton. It does not revolve around her voters. It does not revolve around women. nothing like feeling the rath of a woman scorned.... But dude... no one scorned you. Voters all over the nation voted and you lost! You lost! I know you are all upset but back off!

Analysis is that all this means is the less educated, less informed, less aware, and those that are still living in the stone age mentality are more likely to be sucked in on the pandering ways of Sen Clinton. They do not care that your just saying things to try to appease them and they do not care that you have no intention or ability to follow through on the crap that spews from the candidates mouth. Where as in other places where they are more educated, more worldly in their views and more informed are more likely to vote for Obama. Why the stark difference? Those in the more educated, informed and worldly areas of the U.S. are smart enought to know when the are being fed a line of crap, and do their home work by researching the candidates, and looking past the obvious of race, age, and gender.
Hopefully there will be enough of those well informed, higher educated voters to bring Obama to the nomination. This country needs to leave the stone age mentality and graduate into the next century. If we are to thrive and rediscover our place in the world, we can no longer afford to rest our laurels in the good ol boy syndrome, nor can we afford allowing our leadership to lead the citizens of this country down the primrose path of oblivion as mindless sheep.

Post-election interviews in West Virgina, according to NPR last week, consistently indicated racial themes: "I don't vote for a Black"; "Blacks don't order White people around...." NPR indicated that these remarks are not some isolated incidences.

Some of the 41% differences between the two candidates' vote counts in West Vigina are due to this die-hard "I am better than you" notion, no matter how hard others tries to move beyond that.

If Hillary Clinton was competing against some other White male candidate in West Virgina, it wouln't be surprizing to hear a comment such as "I wont' vote for a woman" over a man. Color is a more definitive factor than gender to many West Virginans, thus it is not surprizing to hear such remarks as "Blacks don't order around whites."

How much of 41% can be accounted for by racial prejudice? No media seem to want to tackle the issue (except for the short NPR segnment).

How do we move beyond this stage (I thought we were better than this)? Hide and hide??

These stupid analysis just kill me with their numbers. I mean this is a PRIMARY people, when you get down to TWO CANDIDATES, the numbers change drastically.

Geez, how many idiots are out there anyways? Americans are NOT about to put another REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE!!! Get a clue, it's NOT going to happen. All this hogwash nonsense is nothing but baloney.

Let's move on to November where the real battle begins... I just pray OLD FART MCBush is ready for a real spanking!!!

Go Obama!

Oregon – please give him a big win and thanks for giving him a beautiful campaign there and you all looked beautiful on Sunday... all 76,000!

Right! Can't wait to see the Obamanation groupies comments on this one. Most of their comments are on the IQ level of road kill. This could actually be some of us see past Mr Huff and Puff, empty promises. We know a phone when we see it.

This sort of story is the typical divisive tactic that CNN has employed over this election cycle. Don't buy into it, Democrats! The media moguls are attempting to take the Presidential election away from us by the "divide and conquer" strategy.

Sadly, some politicians from our party are playing along with this for hope of pushing their sub-agenda. But sub-agenda's are not MAIN agendas, and to abandon the MAIN adenda of the Democratic party is to condemn all sub-agendas.

These Polls only support what happens when one candidate stays TOO long. The leading candidate is not ALLOWED to penetrate Blocks of voters because the other candidate is PREVENTING exposure and appeasement of the leader. Unfortunately this gives the wrong impression to those voters casting votes for a candidate who cannot win. The message is ..............false hopes.............prevention of healing..........its okay to cast a protest vote (to little avail ) and, you do not have to stand behind the candidate of choice.
It also sends the message that their votes do not count anyway. ALL BAD STUFF AT THIS LATE STAGE . Obama cannot campaign in these states at this point and will have to campaign AFTER the nomination to be recieved as the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. Clinton is hoping to make a statement to the Super Delegates. Unfortunately the message that they are receiving is just the Opposite of what the Clinton Campaign has hoped for!!!

It's sad. With Obama working to help the less affluent and less educated people of this country, that people in that catagory can't see that.

I'm one of them and it's obvious to me. Wake up!

the bible says...

My people Perish for a lack of Knowledge.

America, we need to educate our entire nation... especially the poor rural and inner city people. If not they will continue to only make decisions off of what someone tells them and not what the read and research for themselves.

For this reason, conservative radio and TV has simply misguided these people for self gain. It is kind of how the Wealthy Southern Planters convinced the poor, non-land owning population that they should go fight in the civil war to perserve their way of life.... which was poor, uneducated, out of work having a false since of superiority over others simply because of race!

People in the south wake up... the real Elitist are these multi-millionares trying to tell you they feel your pain and can't even pump gas or can fly around in their private Jets.

Sad, but true if you want to keep someone down, keep them uneducated and uniformed and play to their fears and emotions.

Could you do a real poll and find out what percentage of voters voted for Hillary because they liked Bill and want the gold ol days back? What you are attributing to race in the blue collar is likely also influenced by wanting the good times back as well. Are you afraid to ask any question that links Hillary to Bill's president, it's been off limits the whole time?

Neither 7.3% nor 2% is enough for the African-American demographic in those states to even make a difference so why are you reporting on this? Even if 100% of the African Americans voted for Obama in Kentucky, Clinton would still win by a landslide. Why has this election become a "black vs white" election? An "educated vs uneducated" election. This is exactly why we need Obama in office because this country is stuck in the 1950's and its time we had a leader who is ready to finally unify our nation, take us into the future and move away from the dark past of our country.

So less educated people vote for Clinton? If that's the case...why would it make any sense to follow their lead?

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!. I will either vote for mccain or not vote at all!!!!!!!!

BECAUSE OBAMA CAN GET VOTES OF WHITES WHO HAVE MORE TEETH THEN TOES.

John,

As your article indicates Obama will become the presumptive democratic candidate very shortly, that is unless Hilary pulls a rabbit out of her hat at the last moment. The problem with his candidacy is simply that there are not enough liberal affluent voters nationwide to get him elected in November.

He's now telling us the same things that Carter told us once he was elected. This is both a good sign and a bad sign. It's a good sign because it gives all of the voters a real opportunity to decide before the general election if we want to take a chance on another inexperienced promiser who in the end gets nothing done but keeps telling us how we all need to change our life styles (Carter Malaise Talk) so the rest of the world feels better about us, or we want something else. It's a bad sign for Obama's campaign because those of us who do not consider ourselves to be affluent (the majority of voters) far out number those who are. I really hate to say ,but maybe Hillary's right.

I don't get it, John. Isn't the crux here the intergenerational difference, which puts together the boomers who filled universities in the 1960s and their kids in the last ten years, with a lot of folks who weren't fortunate enough to have a college education? Not that formal education is superior in terms of character to life experience in any way, but a liberal education does change the perspective of individuals for life, generally in the direction of making them more optimistic about their ability to change the future, and more willing because of their more secure financial positions to take risks for a future more in line with their optimism and ideals. A very serious national question, which requires more guts to look at than CNN, or MSNBC, or Fox apparently possess, is whether the older voter's preference for the status quo, effected by risk aversion, and dominated by those without college education, who are still the majority, is an adequate political stance from which to right a nation and world destabilized and upended by eight years of George W. Bush. College degrees are a good thing, and no one should be expected to apologize for eaning one. Though no magic bullet, and no basis to disrespect those without formal degrees, the growing number of college educated men and women in this country have every right to express their ideas through the political process, as long as no one who has the legal right is excluded. It's one person, one vote, in all fifty states, as it should be, and neither Kentucky or Oregon will be more right as they likely vote very different candidate preferences this evening.

I know a lot of people with college education who are dumb. Then you have people with Horse sense which is called Common Sense. Look at George Washington our founding Farther he had know formal education. I think he had more going for him then any political figure in America today. Their just a bunch of Blood sucking Lawyers.

So what are you trying to say? Dumb people vote for Clinton and don't know any better?

The truth is you have a candidate that used the flawed Caucus system to get ahead and then became damaged goods when "Uncle Wright" was introduced; many of the votes he received during the primary are now remorse votes!

Today one can easily see how a Left wing nut job in training pants doesn't have the Mainstream support to win the General election!

Hillary is the stronger candidate and if the Party wants to keep its conservative base and win in November she should be the nominee.

The media, including CNN has been out of touch this entire election season. John King specifically tries to use RACE is the single most important indicator of how Obama will win or lose. He ignores the fact that Obama won 80% of the vote in Idaho which is 97% white. Obama also won 80% of the vote in Kansas that has a 95+% white population. Why didnt John King give us any analysis as to why Obama scored so well in the afore mentioned states. Or even take Wisconnsin which looks like "CLinton country" Obama won by 17 points.

There has been no explanation of these wins. The truth is they dont know why Obama is doing so well. It defies racial analysis.

Anyone who has not yet taken Hillary's seriously should sit back and think again. Her statements in recent days are pregnant with meaning.In a nutshell this is her war song:

IT'S EITHER ME OR NO ONE ELSE.

This woman is bent on destroying the Democratic Party.She needs a team of specialist psychiatrists and cardiologists on standby before being told in uncertain terms that she has lost the nomination.

We can't discount it because you keep bringing it up! How about talking about how African American voters will never vote for a candidate who is behind in every category and steals the election. No one wants to talk about that, because black voters don't matter. Hillary just thinks that black voters will turn the other cheek because we're afraid of Republicans. Well, let me tell you something-we're not afraid of anything. Most black people struggle regardless of whose in office, and that includes Bill-o. My life wasn't fantastic when he was in office, and I don't know anyone else's who was.

WHAT IS the point here??

Barack is the winner.. THE question is are the Hillary supporters willing to cut off theIr nose in spite of the face??

If they do SO BE IT...when the several MILLION of them see McCain change the Supreme Court..and Roe v Wade is reversed...

THEY CAN BLAME THEMESELVES!!!

IF YOU THINK SMALL..YOU STAY SMALL..

HA! There are more black people in Kentucky than Oregon, yet he will win Oregon.

WHERE IS YOUR BS ARGUMENT ABOUT RACE NOW??

Oh, and you can believe he will do great in the general. No doubt about it!

I am sure that Obama has enough money left to buy the rest of the super delegates. I think this practice should be stopped, I never knew before that it was possible to do this, no wonder it costs so much to run for office, it all comes down to which Democrat candidate can raise the most money.

Why? you ask John? I suggest you spend 6 months in rural Kentucky and when you return to NYC you will know "Why".

I would never vote for you Obama, even if Hillary tells her voters too.
He is weak..He's crying now about GOP hitting his wife. Well, Obama she is fair game. Remember you said " WORDS MATTER" If you don't like it hide Michelle along with Rev. Wright.. Can you get Hillary supporters? Well, not this one.

Barack Obama ROCKED Montana last night......!!

Yes...We..Can...

Let see about that. How about the states where there are more whites that he won. Why?

The pattern is now obvious. Wealther, more educated persons aren't smater than those who aren't. But, they are more open to listening and thinking, being challenged, are more likely to have lived or worked in "mixed" gender/racial settings, been exposed more to "different" individuals, and are more tolerant. They are more likely to read and seek info from a wide variety of sources. We know that students in "poor" sections don't do as well as those from more affulent neighborhoods. It has nothing to do with being smart or dumb. It has to do with myriad social factors, and economics has a direct bearing. I work in an area that is poor, Enlgish is a second language, and the schools are "poor performing schools." Why? Economics is a big part of it. My daughter grew up with a computer from the time she was able to walk, with books, international travel as young as 18 months, etc. All of this gave her a distinct advantage. Why? Economics leads to eduction that leads to more open minded tolerant persons who are more likely to think. Hillary can only win on emotional, deciet, pandering, lying, manipulative negative, hypocritical behavior. It doesn't sell as well among the more affluent, educated thinking voters.

Does anyone have a link to the reported video of Michelle Obama railing against whites and calling them "whitey" at Reverand Wright's church in Chicago? If so, could you make it available with the link please?

guilty feeling pseudo intellectual yuppies who have enough money to not really care if their president is ineffective when it comes to showing actual results. bandwagon jumping, hipsters, etc. people are easily lead by a catch phrase over substance. all of these things and more are reasons why obama has won these voters over.

pathetic.

way to pick another loser, voters and the dnc!

You mean all the Obama supporters were right that Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas are racial HOTSPOTS still! I will never forget an interview with this old bearded white guy with a thick southern drawl say last week in his home state of West Virginia. QUESTION- DID RACE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY YOU VOTED?
ANSWER- Of course race has everything to do with the way I voted! Why would I vote for a black man?

Geraldine where is this sexism that you were talking about?

Maybe Hillary is will send Geraldine Ferraro to Oregon to complain about Obama and the media being sexist.....

Ferraro has went from being racists to speaking about sexist attacks on Hillary. Ferraro has talked about hate and dividing us all throughout this campaign. I believe it has hurt Hillary and she lost many supporters and votes because of it. Hillary should have distanced herself from Ferraro and denounced her comments about hate. Hillary should have talked about coming together black, white, men and women, instead she went down the path of Ferraro with the 1960's style politics of accusing the other side of everything they possibly can. She kept dividing this country along gender and racial lines and it was a huge mistake. Hillary wanted to keep it us against them. She said your either with us or against us. She blew it and Ferraro is a huge reason why. Ferraro and McCain are two old minded people who need to be sent out to pasture to enjoy their twilight years and yes every once and a while come back and give us bit of a history lesson. Ferraro cant do that because she is still seething after her lose for Vice President.....

Like it or not Obama did something really smart: He targetted the people in America most willing to give money to a campaign: The college educated and African Americans who see his being president as another step towards the end of racial inequality. Clinton on the other hand has courted a devout audience that simply cannot afford to give. While his message is ethereal and lofty he's won the hearts of his base and though educated the eductated and affluent are among the idealistic. The impracticality of his statements and proposed policies are ignored because emotional ties do not break easily. I see it in reading the comments on this ticker. Partisanism flies in the face of logic. The lesson to future politicians – get people to relate to you as an idea. Great policies, discourse and even wit arent enough. People need to see you the politician as something greater than a person. Oh yeah – get people with money to support you too!

What we have to remember is when Obama won all those states in
the beginning, it was before the Rev. Wright issue, the "Bitter" remarks
and the anti american remarks made by Michelle Obama.

I just wonder if the math would be the same right now? I don't
think so. Since then Hillary has been winning BIG TIME.

What does it say when only po' dumb folk flock to you? Doesn't say much for you does it, Hillary?

It's clear race is a factor, but Obama hasn't won ONLY by black voters.....Oregon is not a black state obviously. The real inffluence is education. The writtings are on the wall, get education, make the right decision. The less educated are easily convinced by lies ...I.e...'I will give you a .30c gas break'!

I don't think being affluent or well educated has anything to do with it. Just common sense tells you IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HILLARY.

Hillary's bipolar moments that she frequently let erupt before our eyes should tell you all you need to know in making your choice. For the life of me, I can't understand the people who really think she would be a good leader. The instances supporting that she WOULD NOT BE are too numerous to list.

It saddens me to think that some fellow Democrats are considering abandoning what we stand for just to prove a point by voting for Senator McCain and essentially throwing America under the bus.

This just in....more affluent people are typically better educated...better educated people are more tolerant...more tolerant people judge on character, not skin color or gender....

and water is wet....That is all

Oh please. Have you ever been to Oregon? Many of them may be affluent and many well educated but they are all a bunch of granola crunching baboons who couldnt find their way out of a paper bag. I urge all Clinton supporters to either stay at home or support McCain in November. Having this arrogant, do-nothing empty suit in the White House will do this nation nothing but harm. I despise the Democratic leadership for what they have done to our party. I have not supported any Republican for any office in 30 years, but refuse to let the black community and McGovern Democrats ruin the party without a fight. I'd rather we have 8 more years of G. W. Bush than surrender our party to the Obamazombies. It appears that Obama will indeed win the nomination. Until he is either defeated or out of office and those in my state who have supported him are either defeated or out of office, I will be voting straight ticket Republican. All Democrats who care about this nation will do the same.affluence dont always translate to common sense.

This is going to be something, Hillary is favored to win big in Kentucky and yet there are 7.3% AA there, so if that's true and she does win big will we still be hearing remarks about race ?. People saying the black vote going for Obama and the white vote going for Hillary ? I'm just wondering how her supporters will spin this.

White middle aged woman for Obama !

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!

Women, if you like having your rights, DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN, he will take them all away with the judges he will appoint to the supreme court!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh, and I forgot to add

we are bothered about real issues like the economy, proper foreign policy
and vision.
some things we dont care about are whether – Obama wears a flagpin, calls someone sweetie, sleeps with the flag under his bed etc.

Of course , someone has to do some explaining for policies to sink. There are those who vote with their eyes and not heads.

If you are educated....you vote for Obama

If you are illiterate – you vote for Clinton

yeah....that actually makes sense

See, it is not just blacks for Obama. It is the smart people!

With Obama as President, education will be a priority. That's the future of this country. People will learn that sexism and racism are intolerable.

SO THE RICH WHO HAS 2 CARS AND 2 HOUSES WITH HEALTH CARE TAKEN CARE OF AND HAD A PREVILEDGE EDUCATION WANTS THE MAGIC OF OBAMA.

BUT THE HARD WORKING POOR IN THIS COUNTRY WHO DOES NOT HAVE HEALTH CARE WHO NEEDS TO HAVE 2 JOBS JUST MAKE ENDS MEET STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT AND FOR GAS DESPERATELY NEEDS HILLARY CLINTON.

WOW!

IS THAT CLEAR... DIDN'T JHON EDWARDS TALK ABOUT THIS 2 AMERICAS BEFORE.

Go ahead Kentucky, believe her lies like the voters of other low educated states have. Maybe you were not watcing the reaction of the country after the WV vote where we all sat back and wondered how you could be so ignorant. I do not think you are stupid but i bet you go and prove me wrong today at the polls. A vote for Hillary at this point when she cannot win the primary or general election is basically a vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for war, death, higher gas prices, horrible healthcare plan, abolishment of abortion rights, etc. Remember it was your states wise decision to elect George Bush so maybe you should look to Oregon for a little guidance on this one.

I find it odd that Obama is seen as lacking because he cannot reach the "uneducated white voters." The educated folks embrace him. Who's better to lead the country – someone the educated folks value, or someone the uneducated folks value?

I'll take educated and accomplished over "average like me" any day of the week.

Since no candidate will have enough delegates to seal the nomination, the race should only go to a convention if one person has more elected delegates and the other person has the popular vote victory. If either candidate does not want to include all 50 states, then new primaries should be held in August.

It is a shame that in this country it is somehow bad to be educated and a white collar worker. That busting your butt and getting a degree and NOT working with the sweat of your brow but the sweat of your mind is somehow Anti-American. I have done both types of work, I have worked sweating in the engineroom of a submarine and a ship, I have worked as an apprentice bricklayer and fried more frech fries than even the fatest American can count. I have worked on heavy construction site and blown black snot from coal dust from my nose. I have also sat at a desk and worked my way through engineering problems that took more hours than I care to count. Believe me when I say I ahve worked hard both physically and mentally and to be honest the mental work has been much harder. True my body doesn't ache when I climb into bed at night but then again when I was laying brick or climbing high steel I SLEPT when I laid myself down in bed! I can turn off the phsyical but the mind works a problem with no regard for the bodies need for sleep. Folks the whole purpose of this post is simply to say that somehow being intelligent, or earning a degree and not working with your back is NOT a bad thing, maybe we should start teaching that in schools for a change instead of the crap required by no chils left behind! Maybe we should grow up as a country!

Obama/Sebilius '08

Oh so let me get this straight.If you dont vote for Obama you must be dumb or racist.When are the elites gonna relize that its us in fly over country who determines elections not the self proclaimed enlightened left coast.

WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY OBOMA

Becuase he did not campany there.

Why?

Because midwesterners see through his hot air and empty suit.

VOTE FOR SUBSTANCE

VOTE FOR CLINTON

Sen Clinton panders to the people who have less of an education than others. She believes that by instilling fear, and saying what they want her to say, she will lock up this race. I am insulted (as a person with only a high school diploma) to be treated as though I were a moronic child being disiplined by their parent. I do wish people would realize what each candidate only says as their platform, but also to their behavior during this campaing. Would you really want someone who tries to change the rules of the game every week to be on the worldd stage as this countries representative? I would hop not.

I hate to say this (because I live in Kentucky), but the reason is Kentucky is generally looking to the past and Oregon (I would guess) is generally looking to the future.

In Kentucky, many folks fondly remember the days of the first Clinton Administration. They identified with President Clinton who was actually a conservative Democrat from the south ... just like them (the state's registration is mainly Democratic although it votes Republican in many national elections). I think a lot of Senator Clinton's support can actually be traced back to support for the former President and an actual desire to return to the "good old days" of the 1990's. In fact, you hear Senator Clinton say as much in her stump speech.

But Senator Clinton also says in her stump speech that all elections are about the future, and I agree with that. And you can't see the future if you're looking to the past - and that is sometimes the problem I have with my Kentucky neighbors when we talk about the future of our state, our nation, or the world. We live in a different world than we did in the 1990's. Eight years of the Bush Administration has fundamentally changed how America is seen abroad. Also, although I was a strong Clinton supporter in the 1990's, sadly I think it was during that time that our country became so bitterly divided. I certainly don't think that the Clintons are to blame for that, but they certainly fed those sentiments.

That is why I'm probably more aligned with the people of Oregon and the majority of other states in my support for Barack Obama. I do think that Washington needs to change. I think we need someone who can restore America's image in the world community. I think we need someone who can build a new type of coalition, one that doesn't win an election with 51% of the vote but rather one that ends the partisan divided in this country.

I do believe Senator Obama can be that type of transformational leader. Sadly and with no disrespect, I don't think Senators Clinton or McCain can be that type of leader. They are too tied to the was Washington has been. If we as a people say it is time for something new and allow Senator Obama to bring this country together, he can do that. That is why I am hopeful about this election.

If I knew the answer to that, I would not be typing my comment to CNN. Again, CNN is infering the race card. Do go there anymore, CNN. Your are race baiting comments..........

Interesting that the candidate for change, the man of the people, the first Afro-American nominee, the man who John Edwards thinks has the best handle on the poverrty issue is the man who is supported by big business, the insider beltway politicians, and Warren Buffett. Emporer Obama has no clothes, and if he did it would be a Brooks Brother suit. He may have flirted with whackos like Wright and radicals like Ayers, but I suspect underneath Obama is nothing more that a bland middle to right Democrat with little interest in issues pertaining to the poor, to women, and to children.

There are certainly some badly misguided voters in US, to think of selecting someone for president who has no credentials. Obama is an elitist/racist. I suppose those who would vote for him fit into one of those categories, too. He is not qualified.

Because for most of America it is not about race or gender. It is about the person!

There something to be said about a black man winning Oregon with only 2 percent African Americans, but with many educated people.

Why is it that people who are educated and affluent vote for Obama, even though the affluent will lose tax relief? Hmm, something to think about.

I believe that people are tying to convince themselves and everyone else that it's not about race and this is the only opportunity they have to prove it. Really, I don't think it's issues that people are concerned about, if it was, you would see a whole different outcome of the votes. Whites are voting for OBAMA to prove that they're not racist and some Africian-American's (not many) are voting for Sen. Clinton to prove that they aren't racist. It's not that one has proven themselves to qualify to be President anymore than the other.

People like Warren Buffett who have a proven track record of financial gain and management are backing Obama knowing he can bring about the change this country needs. Remember, Buffett has a bigger stake to lose than most people so he's wasting his vote on a Republican, especially John McCain. Vote Obama

Simple – there are more people in KY that wouldn't vote for Barack due to prejudice and Oreganians are more enlightened voters. Period. Oregonians aren't going to be foold by Hillary's shanagens like KY will be.

The truth is you have a candidate that used the flawed Caucus system to get ahead and then became damaged goods when "Uncle Wright" was introduced; many of the votes he received during the primary are now remorse votes!

Today one can easily see how a Left wing nut job in training pants doesn't have the Mainstream support to win the General election!

Hillary is the stronger candidate and if the Party wants to keep its conservative base and win in November she should be the nominee.

Hillary 08

Why do the networks keep mentioning race as a descriptive term when referring to rural blue collar voters? Thankfully you dropped uneducated. What an insult to so many honest hard working Americans. Certainly there are plenty of racist out there, black and white for that matter, but the overwhelming majority of people, bule collar, white collar, urban or rural, do not wake up every morning thinking about race and don't blame any negatives in their lives on race. It is just in the head of the media, dare I say Obama's most ardent supporters. There are so many reasons to support Hillary that have nothing to do with race. For one, she is the best candidate and perhaps the only Democrat who can win in November.

Bill Clinton won in Kentucky in 1992 and 1996. Obama did not even bother to campaign in Kentucky, same thing he did with WV. People in Kentucky wanted to know the person they're voting for, it is not enough you run campaign ads and expect them to vote for you. Obama has 19 offices all over Kentucky but his presence in that state, is ZERO. He flood the state with campaign ads on TV and radio.

Don't even talk about racism again or say whites are racist in Kentucky, if you're seriously running for President, you cannot alienate one state or two and expect them to rally behind you in general election when you IGNORE them in primary election.

Obama has shown his ARROGANCE and ELITIST attitude which I find totally deplorable. These name labeling calling people who did not vote for him as uneducated, dumb, stupid, racist, hillbillies, ignorant, bitter etc. etc. will definitely bite him if he's the nominee for the democratic party.

Hillary talks with the people of Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana instead of talking to them. Arkansas is a good example of high percentage of African-Americans, they did not vote for Obama, they voted for Hillary, they know her, the work she had done for the state of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was their governor. How come none of you pundits talk about it? Are blacks in Arkansas racist because they did not vote for Obama? Are they dumb and stupid because they did not vote for media's golden boy?

If Bill Clinton and McCain's wife are being attacked, scrutinized, criticized, it is only fair for Obama's wife being criticized, watched etc.
People need to know about the spouses as much.

Fair is fair. There is no way one would be handled on tip toes while the others would be stepped on. I understand Barrack loves and protects his family, but then he and his followers have no right to go after the other spouses. No double standard, please.

If Michele would stay away from politics = no speeches, no running for her husband, then no one would probably care.

No one is untouchable in politics, politics should be fair.

Ofcourse because most uneducated people judge a book by it's cover and not the issues the person stands for, it disgusts me some of the remark's i've been reading and the sad thing is if they took the time to listen they'd see this is a good man, but instead you read remarks like hussein or Nobama...idiots...

Let me be the first to publicly thank the affluent Obama supporters for stepping up to the plate in their willingness to bail out the Social Security system. Contrary to what some say, they are not selfish. They are agreeing, by virtue of their votes for him, to pay more of their personal salaries into the pot for another 40 or 50 years so that all Americans can live with dignity. I say Bravo!

One of the principal reasons is that college educated people can easily see through Hillary's games.
I was neither for nor against Hillary, but the gas tax stupidity sealed it for me.
First , she steals the idea from McCain. People like Bloomberg and almost every economist worth his salt have blasted the futility of the idea.
And what does she say ? "I dont believe the economists."
Hillary is stupid, and ego-maniacal and I think even McCain is better , cos he ADMITS to his mistakes (like when he got the Shias and sunnis mixed up)

A person who doesnt even admit to his/her own mistakes is not the kind of person to lead America.

HRC thinks she can take the country for a ride. Period.

Obama'08

Much like WV, Kentucky has rascist majority...

Thankfully these states do not represent the whole of the United States!

Well I feel proud to be a Democrat! I was watching CNN last night... I can't believe it...

Finally, the pundits agree that Hillary is the more electable candidate, but all agree Obama will end up with the nomination....

And get this, in order to win in the fall, the Obama campain is arguing they will win VA and GA. This is hillarious.

Welcome President McCain!

Ex-Democrat....Just b/c you people are too stupid....

Democrats watch out for people who say that they will vote for McCain if Hillary isn't the nominee. A lot of them were Republicans from the start trying to help Bush Jr out in the general election. True Hillary Supporters don't fall for it!!!!!! Vote Democrat!!!! We can't afford 4 more years of Bush!!!!!
