Whenever I hear Senator Clinton explain why she’s still in the race, I can’t help but think of the scene between Arthur and The Black Knight in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It’s as if, after losing all her limbs, she’s saying to Obama, “Come back here… I’ll bite your legs off!”

At least he has the grace not to say, “What are you going to do, bleed on me?”

No one asked me. Where are these polls coming from? I will never like him. I have no one to vote for this election if he gets the nomination.

We Obama folks need to stop the bashing of Sen. Clinton and supporters and start finding ways to heal the party. The contest has been over for a while now but I ask you to imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. What if our beloved candidate had lost to Sen. Clinton? Wouldn't we be screaming about the "political machine" behind Sen. Clinton? Wouldn't we be talking about the "same ol' politics?" Wouldn't we be inconsolable and feel our candidate was robbed because of… (fill in the blank). Wouldn’t we complain about how the system was rigged against Sen. Obama and the DNC was showing favoritism?

The point is, after any disappointment we all, as humans, need some time and space to digest what has happened and learn to live with the reality. Not even Sen. Clinton is immune to that.

I personally would like to see Sen. Clinton in the cabinet as Secretary of the Dept. of Health and Human Services. I’d like to see Janet Napolitano or Joe Biden as VP.

The problem with Sen. Clinton being VP is not her ego or Obama’s ego or even the tumultuous primary. It’s Bill. And I’m saying this as a fan and admirer of Bill Clinton. I think it would be a tough nut to swallow. BUT… if Hillary is on the ticket, this Dem. won’t be complaining and will sit here with a Cheshire cat grin.

Go Dems 08’

Nov. is going to be so much fun, and January will be a huge relief.

It'd be nice if this would show up in the primaries. Maybe Clinton would realize this election isn't going to go her way and bow out gracefully instead of making a disgrace of herself. As far as I'm concerned this isn't winning her any points for 2012. She's not the candidate of choice for most Americans so it's time to move on to uniting the party.

Go Obama!

All the wayto the White HOuse.

YES WE CAN in 2008

Yes, go Obama! I knew you could pull it off. Yes We Can!

Ignore the Love Huckabee. I still like Huck, but Obama is a brilliant man!

X-New York Mayor Koch knows who should be the Democrat nominee DNC Super Delegates. You have cast yourself for the wrong man. We voters will make you pay come election time.

Koch: There's no question that Hillary would be a tougher candidate for him. I think that the odds are that she would beat him, primarily because the Republicans are saddled with a record of non-achievement over the last eight years, and a president who I personally like but who is perceived by, I think it's now close to 80 percent of the public, as a failure. I don't think he's a failure on the issue of Islamic terrorism — I think he has stood up like a giant. But on all domestic issues he has a record of failure.

Yes we will!!
Obama '08

END OF STORY…………………….

GOODBYE HILLARY………….NICE TO SEE YOU GO.

This is Good News.
It goes to show that Democrats WILL UNITE to defeat John McCain.
4 more years is UN-ACCEPTABLE .. no matter who the Dems pic as their nominee.

Well, well, well…….and attacks on Obama in 3….2…….1

These Polls are a Joke…they change every 5 minutes…just more of CNN Bias and trying to brainwash us.

LMAO and where did you say that they were taking these polls??? Mississippi, NC etc…..

Hillary has regained her stride and is doing well as of late in these last few primaries. Let every one take a step back and allow her to finish out the process so that the party can uite behind the Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The vitrol and animosity behind thrown back and forth between the supporters of Hillary and Barack needs to end now to give us time to heal.

Democrats unite!

Obama '08

yay!

Obama has won these voters in other states already: Wisconsin, Virginia and Maryland to name but three. Talk of Hillary Clinton being more electable is ridiculous.

Obama, I have a feeling your whole family is going down.

Hey, who rules?

Obama rules! Obama rules! Obama rules! Obama rules! Obama rules! Obama rules! Obama rules! … (as the car goes over the cliff but in this case, it's our country)

I am delighted to read this. maybe women are beginning to realize how self important she believes she is, and how this election is all about her. People are now realizing that we must do what is best for America, and that is to band together rather than concede more of our freedoms to the Republicans! OBAMA 08!

The writing is on the wall, Hillary. Stay in the fight until the end, but do it with grace and dignity, and then exit the same way. Nobody likes a sore loser!

good..people are coming around. maybe this article will bring Hillary to her senses. i doubt it though, when has old girl ever let something like facts get in the way of her delusions

WAIT! Which one is it? First you say he's losing then, he's ahead! Make up your mind which is true. If you just polled 1200 people…hahahaha

OBAMA 08…..here we come!

Do you know your alphabet? Here are four of the letters: O V E R. Got it?

Look Obama needs 100% support from all dems to win the General Election… not 50%-70%, what is sad is I know 8+ people in my little circle of life that are voting Hillary or McCane in the GE and this is in Oregon "The Great Obama State".

I think the fact is, Hillary and Obama WILL NOT win the GE unless they group up, really its to that point now.

Thank you Clinton supporters for keep an open mind about Obama. A mind "is like a parachute it won't work unless it's open". Thank you.

Democrats united to fight the GOP!

True Democrats will unite in the Fall, regardless of race, creed or color and defeat the Republican War Machine.

Newsflash to Republicans - You may want us to continue to fight amongst ourselves. But like typical brothers and sisters when we have a common target, we're going to steam roll you.

So to all the fake Democrats out there stating they'll vote McCain if their candidate isn't the nominee - keep talking, it won't change the inevitable fact that come November you'll see a Democrat win the GE.

Sounds good to me. But it was sure to happen. I can't see how any democrat or independant or even republican who is concerned about their future, their kids future can vote for McCain who is not providing anything other than what Bush has provided for the last 7.5 years.

Thats because the media keeps telling her to get out of the race!

I am sorry, but could someone explain to me how "it is nowhere near over'? Does Senator Clinton truly believe her own spin?

Why is she still wasting money on a campaign she cannot win? Is it really all about 2012 for her?

Does anyone else see this as TOTALLY selfishness on her part?

What happened to being a team player and showing party loyalty? I truly hope that all democrats remember how she drug this out and hurt our party!

She cannot win without some type of shananagins… How many of us will embrace her if she pulls something underhanded?

Not me, not ever again.

Hillary, Bill and James Carville will spin this info from the latest polls as Hillary has now pulled out front with all delegates, all superdelegates, all Democrats, all Republicans, all Independents and all of Bill's former bimbos. What a glorious day for the Clinton campaign! Perception is more important than fact.

So if this is true why couldn't Obama close the deal in Kentucky or WV. I wonder what states they conducted this poll that would tell alot. Wow there up to 5,474 from 1,261. LOL What about Florida have they polled there yet with the 1.7 million that voted leaning heavily for Clinton.

Wow….Democrats finally beginning to rally behind the soon to be presumptive nominee. Way to Go Democrats. The world is watching!

SO TO THE OBAMA HATERS…..THIS POLL IS AN EXAMPLE THAT HE IS GAINING STRENGTH AMONG VOTERS HE DID NOT HAVE BEFORE…SO HE'S GAINING AND IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTES EITHER….

OBAMA 08 & 12…

GOOD LUCK BARACK OBAMA…THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE US

How amusing that Barack called a reporter, Honey. He later added it was "a bad habit" of his for a long time and means nothing. If someone called Barack the N word, explaining that it was "a bad habit for a long time and means nothing," would the boys on MSNBC and CNN treat as a joke and trivialize it? You tell me.

There's not enough money in the world to get me or anyone I know to vote for Barack Obama, arrogant, sexist and out of touch. The Democrats apparently have a death wish. I hope they get what they wish for.

Mummy Hillary, all these results and surveys show that Sen. Barack Obama is the Dem candidate nominee. Just follow the rule and let the history be writen properly. Go OBAMA 08. Praise the Lord!!!

Polls don't mean Nothing I hate how they conduct those inaccurate polls Obama has a very very strong Coaliton all over the United States Polls goes up and Down all I know is Barack Obama is the Best to lead of out of this Bush Adminstration

If he is the nominee - the majority od Dems supporting Hillary - either won't vote or will vote for Mccain

Including myself.

This is good news, but let's all wait for the "Polls don't matter" spins from the Clinton team. Polls only seem to matter when they say what she wants them to say.

Obama O-8!

Finally the party is uniting! Lets go people.

I don't know why these numbers would surprise anyone. I mean, everyone except for Howard Wolfson seems to have gotten the memo that this race is over, and Hillary has been doing her best to heal the wounds she inflicted in Pennsylvania, while Obama is trying to undo the damage that's been plaguing him since Ohio.

Eventually, Wolfson will get the message too. Eventually.

Can we stop all this divisiveness and just focus on governing a country? How about focusing on what they have in common such as, their deep-seated desire to right the nation after YOU idiots voted for Bush TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton is a great candidate. As were a number of other democrats that were in the race. But it seems as though more and more people are willing to coalesce around the presumed nominee. Which is precisely as it should be.

Democrat '08

Hillary, put on some makeup!

I KNEW PEOPLE WOULD COME TO THEIR SENSES!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Bill and Hill just need to go home … wherever that is?

What the poll doesn't show is how she's faring with Republicans. After all Karl Rove has turned into an unofficial advisor. Why democrats will stand for this nonsense is beyond me.

I feel that once Sen. Clinton admits the reality of this situation and get's behind Obama (which she will do), that most Clinton supporters are reasonable and will follow her lead. For those who say they will vote McCain… my flabber is totally gasted and I'm rendered speachless.

good news, yes we can and yes obama will in nov 2008…………

This is dedicated to the naysayers, yours truly - real American voters for real change.

This is the same poll you tried to push on us yesterday!!

Body language speaks volumes. Doesn't look like she's enjoying herself very much in that picture.

Why do you cite national polls. You should do a state by state poll and determine who will win based on that. National polls have no bearing on who will actually be the next president, its about the Electoral college. You can sit here and talk about how Obama is winning 3% over McCain untill November and when he looses the presidency, all his supporters will wonder what happened.

Handwriting is on the wall.
Walk out with dignity Hillary.

Polls are hard to discern, they can be manipulated in so many ways.

The important take home is this: both candidates have campaigned hard and have run well, and now the Democratic party is beginning the all-important healing processing and rallying behind a single candidate for the fall election. The primary is just a preamble — the real prize, and critical path for the future of this country, is to take back the White House and keep the majority in both houses of Congress, and to build those into true working majorities. That's the goal. That's the end-game. Everything else is just window dressing.

OBAMA CAN'T WAIT!

OBAMA WILL CLAIM VICTORY PREMATURELY?

This is the real OBAMA!

Very Hungry!!!

HE WANTS POWER!!!

HE'S WILLING TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING (MI & FL ELECTORATE) JUST TO BE IN POWER!!!

I WONDER WHY???

Wow, look at all the supers lining up for Obama! Now at 310 and counting.

Go boy. Obama, please make this real.

there's a change a comin'

Enough with ratings CNN, Enough with the Obama and Clinton Supporters, and enough with letting the Republican bloggers pit us against each other. It's time for the party to unite and turn some of this agression where it belongs,on the Republicans!!!!

Dem 08/12

Wheew…..finally we are coming together….

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….

See, now that's the type of scientific polling I like to see. When the margin of error is only 1% point in either direction, that is a good poll.

I dislike the polls that have a plus or minus 3-5% margin, just leaves too much leeway.

So, who's more electable now, Hillary?

IT'S OVER HILLIARY!

JUST GO AWAY ALREADY AND TAKE YOUR STUPID
SUPPORTERS WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN SCARES THE …. OUT OF ME, WE DON'T NEED WWIII
THANK GOD FOR CHANGE. YES WE CAN! OBAMA '08!

Obama Will lead the polls post to post all the way to the November general election. There is no stopping him.

We will have a Triple crown winner (Big Brown) after 30 years. We will have a Blak man as President for the first time in US history.

GO GO GO GO GO Obama. Take a look over your shoulder after you enter the straight for home. You will see Mccarin some distance behind you.

we will see what happends in nov. This whole thing makes me ill. I am a moderate democrate and Obama is way too left for me. I have noone to vote for.

I don't for a minute believ that Hillary's support among older women is waning. Many older women believe that Obama will be the nominee and they are trying to talk themselves into this nominee NOT because they like him but that they do not see themselves voting for McCain.

I personally have not been able to come around to Obama but see the futility in not voting or in writing in Hillary's name if Obama is the nominee.

I am bothered as a Democrat by the fact that this late in the game the presumptive (said by some) nominee is not winning everywhere and that there seems to be no recognition of the impact and power and numbers of the Hillary supporters.

Obama would do well to court the Hillary voters. His supporters on this blog are very disrespectful to the Hillary supporters, losing their candidate votes instead of encouraging people to vote for him. This hostility will ensure a McCain victory.

Wake up Obama people. You are getting too cocky and will send people to the McCain camp. Don't do it!

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

Leave Hilliary and her supporters alone.

Blacks were more supportive of Hilliary at the begining of the process than Obama. It seems like FOX and a some white voters want to ignore that fact. Obama didn't get 70,80, 90% until Hilliary's remarks about MLK and Bill's remarks about SC. The Clinton's always enjoyed Black support as have ALL Democratic candidates.

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

The rest of America is waking up to the new day in politics: we can only be stronger if we unite. A divided America is a weak America.

If the media was fair and balanced, then the polls would be legitimate. Hillary's key supporters are giving up because the media is telling them to give up and join Obama. Obama supporters, don't you even think that you can use this new poll in you argument. Sorry, but this poll is flawed.

What have we said all along?Just because some voters favored Clinton over Obama in the primaries that is no sign that they wouldnot favor him over a republican opponent.Her final plea arguements are starting to go down the drain.Too Bad!!!

I think America will ultimately decide that we must change the way America operates in the world and get behind Obama to win the general election.

The angry saber-rattling ravings of a bitter, old man can only point out just how wrong-headed the Republican ideology has been and will be if there is a third Bush term under John McCain.

It's time for a change. I, for one, can't wait. I can't wait to be proud of my country again, to be proud of my president, and to know that things are (in the words of The Postman) "getting better".

Yes, We Can.

I've got a poll for you. You know what you can do with it, right?

Good, I am glad that the Obama nation is growing by leaps and bounds!!! I think she gave it a good run, but her time has come and gone. I find it funny that she could not beat Obama, what makes her think she could be mcbush? Exactly! So now on to the big fight for Nov.

I just wonder how anyone could vote for a repug in today's world. I know one thing; the repugs are NOT going to help our country. Did you see the John Mcbush sppech today on Cuba. It was the same old scare tactics….they are running a campaign FEAR and I for one will NOT buy that crap anymore.

Billary is singing her swan song. Let's unite Dems… and take back this country in '08!!!

YES! Finally thinking Americans are doing the right thing. Go Obama.

I was watching Hillary in Kentucky yesterday and after taking a group picture, one of her supporters kissed her on the cheek. You should have seen how she coiled away. The look on her face was don't get too close. My husband looked at me and said "Okay, so she just wants their votes, not their kisses". It was pretty funny. I don't believe this woman for one second. She is not for the people and will never be for the people. Once you've made 109 million dollars, the people can go fly a kite.

I'm giving an Obama fundraiser soon. A bunch of friends and I are planning an Obama dinner for twenty. It should be fun.

Obama 08 and beyond.

CNN
Finally you realized that Obama will be the president.

Anyway thanks for posting this news

Demographics. Man what fun. Let's see since everyone is interested:

I'm a 23 year old white male.
I didn't go to college, instead I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force.
I've spent my career in Security Forces.
I'm a Iraq War combat veteran.
I'm from rural Pennsylvania and own four guns.
I'm Catholic.

Wow amazing!!!!

Some real news: Obama picked up two supers today.

Obama '08

I guess you can finally say that strident Clinton is finally opening some people's eyes around here. And the Dems are now backing a proven winner. That would be Senator Barack Obama.

UNITE DEMOCRATS!!!!!

WE ALL WANT TO SEE A BETTER AMERICA UNDER THE DEMOCRATS NO MATTER YOUR BACKGROUND!!!!!!!!

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

HOW CONVENIENT!!! THAT YOU SHOW THIS NOW

Gallup’s results released Tuesday are based on a survey of 1,261 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters using combined data from May 16-18, 2008.

BIASED BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUE OBAMA REPORTING!
OH OK FORGET ABOUT THE OTHER MILLIONS!!!

YOU MEDIA PEOPLE AND OBAMA PEOPLE ARE REALLY WORRIED AREN'T YOU….WAIT TILL NOVEMBER WHEN MILLIONS WILL SHOW UP IN FAVOR OF HILLARY OR MCCAIN AND
NOT YOUR PRODUCT AMERICAN IDOL!

Overwhelming numbers. Billary will figure out a way to spin it.

Let the Election continue Obama , respect women’s rights to have a fair Election they being held back for two Centuries.

These polls are misleading and you will find out why in the general election, when Obama loses to McCain. I will only vote for the democrats if Hillary is on the ticket. Also, if these polls were true Hillary wouldn't blow Obama away in Kentucky today. THE END!

The Democratic Party is coming together as it must. Time for logic and reason to rightly triumph over ignorance and lies.

Obama '08

Alright Now!!! People let's pull it together and let's take it on home…Dems, Indies, and Repubs–OBAMA TODAY—A BETTER TOMORROW!

2008/2012—Look at us now World!

This information is only usefull untill it changes next month

It's happening– the swell of support is building throughout the party. This is a good thing.

If Obama gaining support !!!!!!! Then why he can win Kentucky
He spend more money than Hillary in Kentucky

CNN let wait and see the Kentucky result to night

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.

Thanks Gayle, that's what we look love about your type! Keep it up!

That picture just made me throw up in my mouth. Please change it.

DON'T BELIEVE IT! THE MEDIA IS SO SKEWED FOR OBAMA. THE POLLS ARE ALWAYS WRONG. HILLARY IS STRONG AND HER SUPPORTERS ARE BEHIND HER. GO HILLARY!!!!!

At last the democrats move toward our winner. Im sorry for Clinton supporters out there, but you need to help promote the Democratic party's ideologies and values rather than sulk over a loss. Hillary was a less dignified candidate and a majority have spoken, even including MI and FL, they majority has spoken for Senator Obama. Many women should not be bitter as we may have a female on the ticket with Obama, but please not Hillary, her lies and negative attitude have spun out of control.

OBAMA 08-12!!!

we shall stand up to the real evil doers. time to take back the white house.

As a good Obama supporter this is a good sign. After all things are coming together for him. Hope all these lexcitements asts into November election.

that's good gayle.stay home.democrats have spoken.

Here comes all of the Operation Chaos bloggers with their "if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I'll vote for McCain" bull crap. Give it up, already. Everyone knows you were never really Democrats. Go back and listen to Limbaugh and eat your pork rinds.

As people become more educated about Hillary, the less they like.
As people become more educated about Obama, the more they like.

Hillary ran a good campaign but the American people have spoken.

Democrats unite and keep McBush out of the White House.

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

as it should be
indeed… people are clearly realizing truth…finally

ALSO PROVES THAT THE MEDIA'S(CNN/MSNBC…SO ON SO FORTH) CREDIBILITY IS ZEEEEEROOOO

CNN IS PRO OBAMABOTS

I'm not sure who you polled but believe me when I say our support has not wavered!

Keep believing your own Liberal Left slant on life!

Come November you will see how wrong your bias was!

Hillary 08

Right….keep spinning CNN….

Look at Rove's Electoral Map….in a McCain/Clinton election there are ONLY 6 battle ground states, and Clinton leads McCain by 53 Electoral votes (259 C to 206 M)

Of the 6 battleground states, 2 Clinton LEADS in and only needs MO to win. One, MI, is a tie.

WITH OBAMA….there are 8 battleground states, but McCain leads Obama 238 to 221 in Electoral Votes. McCain leads in 5 of the 8 battleground states, and Colorado and Iowa WILL NOT give Obama the nomination. He HAS to win Ohio and MI…

The states Clinton has spent time in??? The states NEEDED to win a General Election…no wonder the Republicans want to go against Obama. McCain would not have had a prayer against Clinton.

But you keep spinning CNN….the 1261 people you poll, sure does represent all voters…remember your MAP…the blue collar voters NEEDED to win??? McCain has large margins there…and in the Rove scenario…McCain only needs to win MI and OH or OH and VA…states he is ahead in, or just OH and 3 other states he is ahead in…ND, NE and NM.

Whah, Whah, Whah, Whah, hah. Break out the the baby bottle before the crying begins from the Clinton loyalist.

Let settle this.

Ok she has made her case.

Hillary for V.P. and it is settled.

She will not stop until she gets something.

As a good Obama supporter this is a good sign. After all things are coming together for him. Hope all these excitements lasts into November election.

COME NOV. I WILL VOTE FOR MY PARTY. BUT I WILL CAST MY VOTE FOR HILLARY, IF SHE IN NOT RUNNING. I WILL WRITE HER NAME IN. I WILLN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA, HE IS TO YOUNG, DON'T KNEW ENOUGHT TO RUN THIS COUNTRY, IN THESE TIME.
OUR COUNTRY IS HURTING, IN ALL AREAS. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THERE WAY AROUND WASHINGTON. WHO HAS THE KNEW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE. WHO ISN'T GOING TO BE A CRY BABY WHEN THE OTHER PARTY SAY'S SOMETHING ABOUT THERE FAMILY. THIS NOV RACE IS GOING TO BE HARD AND A LOT OF NAME CALLING, SO WHO IS ON OUR TICKET BETTER GROW A TOUGHT SKIN.

Don't worry about Hillary, I think McCain has a VP spot for her.

I think it is time to leave gracefully. HIllary Clinton blew her own chance to win this nomination. She hired the wrong people. She wasn't tech savvy like Obama. She depended on established money instead of asking the everyday people for money and she was so arrogant she thought this race would be over after Super Tuesday. She can not blame Obama for her shortcomings. He was just smarter and not only is he about change, he proved change worked by using it in his campaign and how he raised money. You have to give it to him, he out smarted Clinton. David (Obama) took down Goliath(Clinton Machine). When it all boils down, Hillary is an elitist and a good old girl Washington insider. She is politics as usual. Even with all of her "experience" she made mistakes that proved she is truly an amatuer.

A significant sign that my party of choice (Democratic) is beginning to unite for the fight thats looming ahead with McCain. I've had faith that our party would at some point unify for the common good of us all!

Go Dems '08 (in every level of government)

Been listening to rush limplips Joseph Johnson?

Can the American people see through the hype of empty promises for change that Sen. Obama is delivering?

Yes We Can!

I will never vote for Obama. He has no accomplishments and hasn't earned the right to run much less be president. I can't believe after 8 years of garbage, the best the Dems could come up with is this young man with a very questionable past.

CNN please DON'T LIE

christine v needs a sedative

GO HILLARY, WE ARE STILL WITH YOU ALL THE WAY TO NOV.

No way will I ever for vote for an inexperienced, weak candidate.

Leading our country is a BIG job!. Obama is all show and no substance. What a disaster it will be if he is elected.

Democrats should be ashamed of themselves letting themselves be duped by a gifted orator, who has nothing else to offer. They will be in for a BIG letdown if he is elected.

Hey Clinton Supporter, i.e. Geraldine. If you're going to criticize somebody about a word they say, you should at least quote correctly.

"Gayle May 20th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

No one asked me. Where are these polls coming from? I will never like him. I have no one to vote for this election if he gets the nomination."

What are you looking for in a candidate? maybe some of us can help.

Cue the:

"He can't win in November!!"

and

"If not Hillary, I'll vote for McCain!"

in 5…..4…..3…..2…..1……

Obama's solution for ending illegal immigration "Work With Mexico".
This is straight from Obama's website.

Obama is so out of touch with real issues affecting America.
First of all if Obama knew anything about illegal immigration, he would know that their is more illegal immigrants coming from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Venezuela then their is from Mexico.
Obama is stating that all illegal immigrants in this country are Mexican which is very insulting and a very elitist view. He has the same small minded views as the typical uninformed uneducated person who thinks everybody in America who has dark skin and speaks spanish is Mexican.
Fellow Americans make sure you do your research before you vote for this smoke and mirror politician.Learn about the issues and do not fall for these eloquent speeches.

Hispanics, for Hillary, if not Hillary Go McCain

The evidence and testimony strongly suggested that Rich and his ex-wife Denise orchestrated a quiet campaign to persuade Clinton, calling on foreign heads of state and a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and hiring a lawyer with close personal ties to the president. Denise Rich made sure she had the president's ear: since 1993 she had given more than $1.3 million in various political contributions to Bill and Hillary, including $450,000 for the Clinton library in Arkansas. Congressional investigators want to know if Marc Rich was the secret–and illegal–source of that cash.

I am a Senator Obama supporter but I find it hard to comprehend
why he did not campaign in west Virginia and Kentucky
He may have been amazed at the support he might have received
since he does so well when he connects with voters on a personal level
that was a bad choice in my decision but perhaps there were other
reasons no one is aware of

Obama 08

Obama! The man who bend's in a Breeze. You don't Bend in the Wind. You Bend 'With the Wind'.. Obama would bend in a Breeze…

Let's face it, many people went into this campaign with a strong preference for one of the two Dems, and that has been demonstrated by all the harsh comments back and forth on these forums. But - other than thos hardcore Clinton supporters who swear they will NEVER vote for Obama, as the nomination becomes more certain, McCain will become the bigger enemy and fair-minded Democrats will move their support to Obama simply because the focus is on him for winning.

These people want a Democrat in the White House, and once the battle is over, I think it is normal for polls to show a shift to the "presumptive winner" as the best shot for those folks to feel represented.

I also believe that once reality hits Hillary and she gives it up, and the focus becomes the difference between the two platforms for the GE, we will see the same vitriole posted here between McCainites and Obamanuts. Other than the aforementioned folks who will sit home and pout if Hillary doesn't get coronated at the convention despite the voters, I think most Democrats will favor Obama and all this alleged division will subside.

The trick is now for her - even if she insists upon campaigning - to not keep up the attacks for 2-3 more weeks and delay that unification. I sincerely hope that she does not plan a course to keep this going until the convention and try to steal the nomination by some new Clinton math. That, I believe, could ruin any Democratic chance at looking unified or organized.

I AM STILL LOOKING FOR AN APOLOGY FROM HILLARY FOR

HER SUPPORT OF THE 100 YEAR WAR.

AND FROM BOTH, FOR THEIR DEPLORABLE & DIVISIVE

RACIAL RHETORIC. THEY BEHAVED DISGRACEFULLY.

You know, I really hate these polls.

I hate seeing Americans disected out into groups like these. I hate the following speculation dividing us by these groups, stereotyping them, and using this divisive information for their own personal agenda or political advantage.

We're never going to get over racism, sexism, etc… until we stop dividing the world by race, gender and everything else under the sun. We're human, we're always going to see differences in people, that is natural, but we don't have to provide data enforcing and creating stereotypes of people.

Please explain to me how she is more electable in november, I'm dying to know?

PS
You continued rude comments against Clinton will have this Democrat writing her name in November.

Most voters believe the race is over for Hillary, and their attention is turning to November. What is important for Obama is to select a good VP who can close the gap he has with white working voters. Apparently race is a concern and certainly Repbulicans will use code words to exploid the backlash whites have when it comes to the 92% black vote Obama is getting. Frankly, race or gender should be the issue, but this is america and some people can't get beyond those two factors. What is important now is who can move our country forward, who can end this stupid war, and get our economy back on track. Four more years of Bush policy isn't a solution, and Obama needs to be more specific about how he wants to run this country.

Clinton and Edwards were the best choices, but, we are down to a hopeful choice.

I don't believe on poll. I don't think they are accurate.

Ive been an Obama supporter for a long time, but it is really relieving to see that both sides will eventually support the nominee from the party with the strongest ideas for the future. I would have been disappointed if Obama didnt win, but I still would not have switched to McCain.
If people truly believed in the principles of both Hillary and Obama, it should be a no-brainer come November.

You go, Sr. USAF Ariman!!! This is EXACTLY what we've been telling the so called "pundits" all along: Obama supporters aren't part of a specific "cookie-cutter" group! We are one, and ALLl! We are AMERICANS desparate for a change of guard! We NEED a change of "politics-as-usual" that are clearly represented by the political track records of McCain & Clinton!

They don't call this GREAT Nation the "melting pot"/"salad bowl" for nothin'!!! 'Rack on, Amercia!! Change is in the air!

Obama + Change 4 ALL Americans - '80/12

…as HILLARIous once said, " The Tide is Turning"…hehe.

U-ROCK OBAMA 08′/12′ !!!

This weakens Clinton's argument tremendously. It's clear that the myth that all of her supporters will fail to back a Democratic ticket if Obama's name is at the top doesn't hold water.

Pple ! Let just let the race run full course , so Hillary can save some face and negotiate to get her debts paid too ….

Democrats will unite and go for the W/H and Clinton will be a powerful woman in the Cabinet…..

YES WE CAN DEMOCRATS and YES WE WILL

Alright! I am going with my fellow Cali residents. I will no longer diss HRC. No matter what! I don't agree with her, but I once supported her, until recently. However, it IS time for healing. No need to rub salt in the wounds. Regardless, this has been the most exciting election in ages (and in my lifetime). I am making the vow to follow the example of our future president and rise above the fray.

I am very happy Obama will take the nomination! And that is all I will say on that matter.

Obama O-8!

I guess I need to know why all these people support Obama. I just don't see any substance.

I have been a Obama supporter throughout this historic debate! We all owe Clinton a thank you for making this race exciting. She is playing hard. Isn't that what we want in our democracy? I love her ambition. She has made Obama a better candidate.

Now its time to debate McCain on the issues. It is time to show america who is fighting for them.

I just want to encourage other bloggers to not let the relatively small differences between Clinton and Obama trump the enormous short-comings and disasters of the failed policies of the Republican Party.

Look at it this way:

You can vote for someone who perhaps personally you don't care for, but shares the same principals and policies as you;

Or you can vote for someone that you know without a doubt will work against your interest and continues to implement failed policies.

American First
Democrat Second
Candidate Supporter Third

It's lovely to see the Clintons so close to each other.
But no more Clinton or Bush!

Bye Bye Hillary, you now may retired those bad PANT SUITS

It's not unexpected that her base voters are deserting her.She has gone from a sure thing to a nothing. Done great damage to her image and Clinton name.You can't put all your warts on display, and expect people not to notice.

Just another attempt by CNN to try and make it seem like Hillary is losing ground. I say BS!! Just slightly more than half of the people who have voted for the Democratic candidates support Hillary. If anyone is losing ground, it's Obama given his 40 percent thumping in W. Virginia. Wait until the Kentucky results come in tonight. Even Obama knows he won't win there which is why he is blaming Fox News even before the voters have hit the ballot booths. Obama barely campaigned in W. Virginia and in Kentucky which goes to show you he doesn't even care. But, if he were to win the nomination, God help us if he does rob Hillary and Americans of it, he will try to campaign in those states, as well as FL and MI, and tell them he NOW cares and needs their votes. I guess because we are typical white people, blue collar, average working Joes, Obama thinks we will be stupid enough to believe that he cares. Obama needs to leave this race. He has more to destroy the Democratic Party than anyone in history.

Shelly in ILL.: I agree CNN never puts if its hundreds or millions behind those poll numbers hahaha. If its 12 or 54 hundred Dems. thatn isn't even hitting a fraction mark of voters all over the US.

These are great signs that the Democratic Party will be able to unite. As a Clinton supporter, I am disappointed, but will support Obama in November. It is sad that some Democrats will not support the Party if their candidate is not the nominee, but everyone must make an individual choice. We, as Democrats, can't make judgements on motives. A decision not to support Clinton is not necessarily sexism and a decision not to support Obama is not necessarily racism - the name calling must stop and we must unite and try to bring the disgruntled along too.

I am Female, >50, Registered Republican, and will strongly consider Obama over McCain. Will not consider Clinton over McCain.

This is not sexism, this is simply who I trust. Ferraro did further damage to women's goals on The Today Show this morning. Media has not been sexist, Clinton has just run a tacky, shrill, lies-packed campaign. (Just watching her change the rules of counting makes me laugh, albeit sadly).

Now! Our country is awaking So let's be strong.

Do you know your alphabet? Here are four of the letters: O V E R. Got it?

I see R. O.V. E her new media consultant but your right it's O.V.E.R.

It is no surprise to me. I am absolutely dumbfounded by HRC's complaints of sexism in this campaign, when she had the audacity to raise the race card so shamefully ! Obama is the true uniter. And I am a white 50+ woman and I am happy to vote for him.

Why not wait until after May 31 when Michigan and Florida are back in play? Why does the media insist on demonizing Clinton?

The misdirection of the media early on, the ignorance and Clinton-bashing by Obama fans and the sheer cult-like following the man has gathered guarantees he will not receive my vote. I have never voted Republican in my life, and now I'm almost being forced to do so (because essentially not voting or voting for a third party will be a vote for McCain, who I'm likely to just vote for anyway to guarantee that Obama doesn't get in the White House).

Why are so many of you disliking Sen. Obama? He ran a good campaign and the America voters voted for him. Let's be honest his campaigning has been quite honest. Now, my problem with the Sen. Clinton campaign has been changing the rules to win. I was a Clinton supporter and a great fan of former president Clinton. But I have a problem when you agree to not allow Fla. and Mich. till you need them and now you she disregards the people choice in caucus states. This is what we have experienced for 8 years a president to do and say whatever to make themselves right.

Family togetherness ?? lol
Monica, Jennifer, Paula, etc,etc,etc….lol
Bosnia,Whitewater,NAFTA,cattle,etc,etc,etc…
The lies that bind.

For those that keep saying they will vote for someone else or not vote at all if Obama is nominated…I ask this…isn't it nice having that option? Go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot. We believe in giving you that right. In the long run, only you will look foolish.

This is completely uneccessary. What a joke the election process has become.

More evidence that it's pretty much over for everyone except Hillary, Wolfson and McAuliffe

Hillary should go Indipendent, and take most of these Vote's with her… Ther's no way, Obama would get them…. It's Hillary! Or the Pillary, for the Dem's….

Yeah, Joseph, because Kentucky is a great example of the American electorate. That's why when driving to visit my folks in Illinois my wife and I try "not" to stop in Kentucky. Obama will win in November because to elect John McCain means to elect a Lame Duck president, and nothing gets done during a Lame Duck presidency…unless you wanna tell me that people will vote for McCain when he's 76.

For all those who flasely claim that the "Florida primary went heavily for Clinton" - here are the facts:

Clinton 50%, Obama 33%, Edwards 14% that is a 3% edge for Clinton over Obama/Edwards or a "heavy" 6 delegates!

More fuel for the Obama fantasy. The national polls have been moving against Clinton for months from the aggressive anti-Clinton bashing in the national media. It's the state-by-state that actually matters. tWhere the candidates are actually campaigning, Clinton has been beating Obama consistently, taking 6 of 8 primaries since March, including the biggest swing states. Obama is an anvil that will drown us is the fall.

A Democrat in the White House 08!

(preferably Obama)

we dont believe any of that.
if she was losing traction why hasnt it shown up in KY and why has the gap narrowed form double digits for obama to 5 points in OREGON?

sounds like a "NEWSWEEK" POLL of convenience to me.

Any idiot that can read an electoral map can see that the empty, ego in a suit that is Obama cannot win the GE. CNN can post day after day after day these national polls that show him taking support from Senator Clinton. It won’t matter in November. White adults will then take over the election without making their choice based on race or pie in the sky dreams. The black vote will be diluted, the college kids will be overwhelmed by adults who actually care about this nation, and Obama will be defeated. Unfortunately, it will result in another 4 years of a Republican presidency. I will jump party lines and vote for McCain and urge all Clinton supporters to do the same. Obama is a disaster for the democratic party.

OBAMA all the WAY !!! We need someone that will bring this country and world together as one!!! Our world is spinning out of country….and we're all running out of time !!

PEACE and STABILITY is a MUST !!!

From headlines 2011: "President Obama: middle of first term", "Clinton says: it is far from over"…

Obama 2008

Obama supporters stop hitting Hillary. She is trying to end this mystifyingly. Thats good for obama too. Every time Clinton says don't vote for MaCain its hundreds of votes coming to obama on november

I've been reading these threads for months, and have remained silent. But I can't anymore.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm an Obama supporter. I have many friends who are avid Clinton supports. But we all agree that whichever Democrat wins the nomination is the better choice in the General.

Now - I find the suggestion that Hillary supporters should vote for McCain in the General Election absolutely repugnant. Absolutely repugnant and absolutely irresponsible. I understand the arguments. Some "McCainocrats " are obviously racists, and just cannot vote for a black man. The polls and media coverage from WV made that clear. But I believe they represent a minority among McCainocrat demographics. There is another group that simply believes Obama is not experienced enough to lead the country. There may be some truth to that, and if these voters compare policies and personalities between the two and decide they prefer McCain, then so be it. That is their prerogative, and they're making an informed decision. That's what democracy is all about.

But then there is a group that thinks Hillary was the victim of overt misogyny and bias from the media and the voting public, and refuse to vote for Obama because they think putting McCain in office will "teach the Dean DNC a lesson." I have a bigger problem with this approach than with those who are simply racists. At least the racists have an excuse - ignorance. But the latter group does not. They are voting purely out of spite and selfishness. Spite because their candidate did not win. Selfishness because they believe their personal interests in having Hillary as President carries more weight than the majority of voters across the country who prefer Obama. Under a McCain Administration, more men and women WILL DIE in Irag, gas prices WILL go up, more people WILL lose their homes, women WILL lose their right to vote, and our foreign policy WILL enable Iran further. But this latter group of McCainocrats don't care. They think that their right to have Hillary as President is more important than all the rights that will be taken away or limited by four more years of the GOP. They think that because they and Hillary were persecuted (which is certainly true to some extent), then the rest of the country should suffer. This is selfishness in the utmost. And it is utterly repugnant. I implore one of these McCainocrats to provide one substantive reason why Hillary supporters should vote for McCain. Just one.

to all you hillary supporters, who are just claiming to be a DEM!!! and saying you will not vote for obama, but rather vote for Mc Cain. Fine, Vote on, and then when oil hits a all time High of 200 a barrell, i better not see any of you writing on here any of your complaints, all i am going to say is OH WELL, write MC CAIN, and see if he cares!!!!

No surprise. In the end, it all depends on character.

Her staying in the race is bout like a football game when the other team is down by 4 touchdowns with a minute left to play and they keep calling timeouts, spiking the ball, doing onside kicks, trying 79yd field goals or like a basketball game where the other team is down by 25pts, already in the bonus, best players have long since fouled out but they keep on fouling instead of just letting the clock run out.

The media bashes Clinton on a daily basis. The old Democrat leaders call for her to get out. the party has disallowed the certified votes in Michigan and Florida. CNN and other media talking heads slant all the news about her in a negative way . . .and now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone that someone has tampered with the polling results. At this point, I trust no one. All I know is that the blogs are full of former democrat deciding to vote for McCain over Obama and of many of us working for a write-in vote for Clinton. This election is far from over!

I reject your reality and substitue my own

He will not win in general election Hillary supporters are so BITTER by now, thet will not vote for him.

Keep up the good hate Obama supporters.

The best that can happen to Hillary is to finally to get out of the race, and the only way for her to this is by loosing. It's like having a family member on life support, artificially fed, and all the while knowing that the end is inevitable, that whatever life there is artificial, thus making it painful for the patient and for the family as well, because the longer, the more painful it gets, this is literally and analogically "agony". We all wish her well in her future endeavor, and remember that running for office does not mean getting elected, good luck as a senator, and next time it'll be better.

HEY MARY ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID - The states you quotedrecacus states. Wait until November to see the real figures from these states. THAT'S WHEN YOU WILL SEE THE POPULAR VOTE. I am so sick of you Obama people yelling Obama has won so many state. IA cacus no one really wins that state. The people havn't voted only a percentage. If it wasn't for DEAN and PELOSI sitting this election up in such a ridiculous manner HILLARY would have this nomination wrapped up already. A caucus is where people that get in line to have their votes counted. You know how some people are these days and times you can't get in the room because of rude obnoxious vulgar mouthed people pushing you out of the way. If and I said If Obama gets the nomination he will never win the general election. SUPER DELEGATES YOU BETTER TAKE HEED THERE IS A CHANGE GOING ON OUT HERE AND IT'S NOT THE ONE YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE. ALL US HILLARY FOLLOWERS WILL VOTE JOHN McCAIN IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION.

I guess Hillary supporters would say this poll does not matter. But it matter when Clinton is ahead of Obama in the polls.

Since it so many Obama bashers on here how about you do one thing. Donate to Hillary campiagn to help her get out of debt. That's is about all you can do at this point. If you are a so called die hard Hillary supporters you would have supported her in the begining she would not be in debt now. Shut up and pay up…………………

Hillary supporters are just like the weather, you change up in a minute.

Then people get on here and say please stop being mean to Billary supporters, Well they need to grow tough skin just like Billary is suppose to have. Practice what you preach!!!!!!!!!!! So being so sensitive!

I voted for Clinton in the primary, but got totally turned off by her very negative campaigning. I have no doubt she is brilliant and great at policy, however I also think she is divisive and negative. That is not what America needs in a leader at this critical point in history. Obama is a real leader, also brilliant, and has demonstrated an ability to unite and motivate Americans. Real leaders inspire and empower. Clinton attacks and tears down. Obama 08. YES WE CAN America!

No more bashing each other Hillary and Obama supporters! It is time to start rallying around the Democratic front-runner, Barack Obama!

News of Ted Kennedy's brain tumor should remind all Americans that time on earth is precious. Having a Democrat is the White House in 2009 in the goal!

Obama will continue to gain support from people that were mild HRC supporters. However, as long as HRC remains in the race, strong supporters will harden even more in their allegiance.

At a time when Hillary needs to be helping unite all Democrats around Obama, she is instead creating in some people such an emotional investment in her candidacy that she is ensuring that many people now will sit out the election or vote McCain after she eventually leaves.

Americans are coming together. The time has come for Hillary to pack it up and go back to New York with her hubby. However, Hillary, I'm sure has already figured a way to Spin these numbers to her benefit.

Marilyn
La.

I'm no expert, but I would call that kicking butt.

Hillary and I both know that it "IS" over. Now I know the meaning of the word "IS"

If the Obama people are suppose to be sooooo educated, why can they not see, IT'S NOT ABOUT HIS COLOR, IT'S ABOUT THE MAN.. Every time I read one of their comments, they say unite with the dems no matter what color, creed etc. I can not and will not unite under a nominee I can not support or believe in. He has no experience that he can show and his JUDGEMENTS SO FAR STINK, his pastor of 20 years, of hate. Experience is what this country needs right now and if it can not be Clinton, then I will go for McCain. I vote for a person I can believe can get the job done, not a party.

save time and money……if you work for a living vote republican

Many women are going to start supporting Sen. Obama very shortly. It will be a reality, but a reality none the less.

Bottom line, this race is bigger than the "women" issues or the "race" issues… this is all about putting a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT IN OFFICE people!!! Stop making this a personal issue for YOU…this is about what is BEST for the country and right NOW is our time to put the best candidate forward and stop referring to the "past". The past is dead and gone and we need to start looking forward and thinking outside the box.

Sen. Clinton is NOT the only woman in politics worthy enough
