CNN

"I'm a woman who is pro-choice. I will not vote for Obama if my girl Hillary is not the nominee." THAT MAKES SENSE. I didn't care about a woman's right to choose, my son or daughter being killed in a worthless war, or the economy my grand children are to inherit.

GET A CLUE PEOPLE. Jesus. Here are the facts. Hillary Clinton re-invented herself so many times people were confused. She caught some fire in states that favor her demographically but it's too little too late. Time to stand down and fall in line.

I love Obama. But, after reading all of these comments, and speaking to bitter Hilary fans. Obama is going to have to choose her as a running mate. She can really help him out.

I know you people here at CNN have really benefited by this close contest but now you are just wasting our time. Let it go.

Obama? Clinton?......pick your poison.

The crook who need's to be in jail is at 1600 !!!!

She's not losing my support!

Yahoooooo! They are catching the vision now. Dems will definitely unite....

who cares about polls go hillary

This just demonstrates that Obama is likely to be able to capture Hillary's support base over time; it's already starting.

How pathetic!

Doesn't Clinton realize that maybe people just don't like (or trust) her?

The fact that she admitted lying about being under sniper fire during the PA debate, should make people wonder about what else she lied about.

With her apparent involvement in her husband's adminstration, I cannot think that her adminstrative policies would differ more than his.

What with the travel scandal, the Whitewater scandal, and poor Vince Foster, to name only a few, maybe there are reasons, other than sexism, as to why some of us have the audacity to not like her.

Her arrogance puts her husband's to shame.

As far as sexism goes, I think the hill folk's votes speak for sexism versus racism.

I"ll never believe this was a fair and honest election. I will never vote for Obama I will never trust the media.I will never believe anything Howard Dean says. I will never trust Obama. I will never believe that our president is selected by the peoplell.
I know there are millions of others who feel the same way.
I hope Obama supporters have enjoyed their bitter remarks, making fun of people who were not for Obama, and white people who they thought were not educated although a lot of them are, and I hope their hate and lies fon Hillary doesnt spew over to their mothers. The unfairness of the media is sickening.

This election is the Democrats to lose. Seems like some don't realize that when they say they would vote for McCain instead of Obama. If McCain wins the White House they would have no one t blame but themselves.

It's the beginning of the MLK dream! Don't pay attention to Hillary as she plays the tired old race card to bring about fear. This is our election, our America. We are going to get our boys out of harm's way in just a few more months and turn this economy around too. Hold on, we're coming!

Why are supposed Clinton supporters angry because support is shifting to Obama? Hillary Clinton CANNOT win this primary season AND win the general election. It’s simply not possible because to win this primary season the DNC would have to make up or use some backwards rule and overturn the will of the people who have voted more for Obama than for Clinton. The only way she wins is thru a technicality and if anyone thinks the AA’s who already aren’t voting for her and the progressive Dems who already aren’t voting for her and the young people who already aren’t voting for her and the Latino community who has been silent for some time (and deftly silent after Clinton has declared it is the white people who will lead her to the White House) then you are pretty delusional. Now back to my point, there are a lot of Republicans trolling boards like this pretending to be Hillary supporters who say bad things about Obama and or Hillary to cause a divide. Any true Dem, realizing that their candidate has lost, should be happy that people are rallying around one candidate, intent on getting the Dem into the White House. That is how true Dems think and anyone suggesting otherwise might not be a Dem after all.

Clinton Supporter May 20th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

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.

SWEETIE! U JUST DONT GET IT. THE "N" WORD IS NOTHING LIKE CALLING SOMEONE "SWEETIE"

You always hear about these "polls". I know absolutley no one who will vote or wants Obama as president. Makes me wonder just how influential the media actually is in people making a decision based on facts or just following the heard.

Barack ROCKS!

Obama 08/12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all the people that are saying they could never support Obama: Please, if you get the opportunity to hear him speak in person, do so if you can. He has a great message and plan for America and the future of our country. I really think he can win you over if you just keep an open mind and give him a chance. He is OUR best candidate for the future of OUR country!

When it gets cold in Oregon and you want to turn up the thermostat or if you are hungry or you need to drive maybe Barrack will call the European union and see if we are permitted to have the little bit extra that Americans deserve for working hard..Obama will never be my president I work hard for all I have in life nobody gave me anything and to all of you giving this man this race I hope you will some day be ashamed and you will deserve all that will happen to us and this great country.I was born poor but there never is a day that I am not proud of this great land.Yes we can! Yes we can destroy this way of life our founding fahers began for us and a vote for Obama will start our race to the bottom.

It's now amusing how the final defeatist whine of the Clinton fans is that "it's the media". Well if Clinton can't handle the media then she can't be President. She lost the battle, you can't say if only we'd fought somewhere else, or it was the wrong time, it was the wrong votes etc etc. Clinton lost simply because she's not smart enough, tough enough or good enough to be the President. I don't care if you think she's a better candidate. The better candidate is the one that knows how to beat the system as it exists. She hasn't.

Why would anyone consider Obama to be a good choice to lead this country- don't you listen to what he says. Just look at his close ties to his minister which he admits he sits in church every Sunday and listens to him preach. Come on folks see thorugh the smoke screen if he is elected this will be bad. Remember the terrorist tell us our country will be brought down from within – hmmm ...

Hillary Clinton supporters who don't like Barack Obama are indirectly spewing their venom at their fellow Americans who have voted for and do fervently support Obama. It isn't Obama that they dislike: it is the will of the majority that has spoken thus far that they can't stand.

Grow up.

Obama is going to be the nominee and all of you are needed to help defeat McCain and the republicans in November. This is a golden opportunity and it would be tragic (yet not unpredictable of Clinton supporters) if some bitter constituents contributed to a democratic defeat out of nothing more than infantile spite.

Again: grow up Clinton supporters. We have a presidential race to win in November. This isn't about Clinton or Obama. This is about the best direction for our country. Don't let your childish hubris ruin the golden opportunity for everyone.

I am a republican, combat Marine Veteran who is going to vote democratic, first for me and many of my friends and family will also. If you democrats dont get together to beat McCain, he will win and I dont want to see that. He is a flip-flopper who has no control of his own party. We dont need another 4 or 8 years of Bush and I voted for him. Please get it together, no matter who or what you are.

Polls! Polls! Too many polls! Obambi is the nominee? Sure! Whatever turns you on! Will he be the next President, HELL NO!

McCain will be the next President, get used to it Obambi supporters!

One thing I can say with Dems, you're too stupid to be trusted to elect a President, you ALWAYS choose the WEAKEST candidate in your party for General Election. Keep on choosing weakest candidate for Presidential Election Dems, Republicans will continue staying in the Whitehouse while all of you are fidgeting why did you lose THIRD in a ROW........ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Why are people saying they will vote for McCain if Hillary loses? Basically, they have pretty much decided their views are parallel. Also, this forum, in my opinion, is for venting only, and no one reads the garbage people post. It's just opinion, and that counts for nothing.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!

What Hillary wants else.
May be she will find another utopic argument to stay in this non sense race.

The champion accept with honour the Defeat, but the arrogant think always something (ANYthing) will happen further to win..
Poor Hilary,
All Clinton's lost the prestige we did have for them

On the one side, we need to stop bashing Clinton. I'm pretty upset with her right now too, but we need to heal the party.

On the other side, feminist Clinton supporters need to put those principles ahead of their disappointment at her virtually inevitable loss of the primary.

Between the supreme court (which effectively overturned a law protecting women against pay discrimination, and which, if McBush has his way, will overturn Roe V. Wade too) and the war, which, between horrific rapes abroad and an increase in violence against women at home, is definitely a women's isssue, you have no right to call yourself a feminist if you refuse to use your vote to stop McCain.

the downward slide will gather momentun very soon.....

Democrats don't forget about the Republicans blogging as Hillary or Obama supporters. OPERATION CHAOS is dead. Republicans get ready for the fight of your lives. Democrats will take the White House back.

I am a New Yorker who voted for Senator Clinton for Senate and has literaly stood next to her at press conferences on issues like 9/11. I'd like to say that even if she were going to be the nominee, I would still vote but I don't know. She has done more than be a formidable candidate. She has lied, misrepresentated and manipulated. She has made this election not about American's, not about women but about herself in absolutely the most selfish, unflattering, un-lady like manner possible.

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).
==============

This is my reply
Why do you depend on news from people like Ferraro -???? You don't have a brain? to judge for your self

C'mon Hillary! You know the longer you stay in there the worse the chances are for the Dems to win. So please make a graceful exit. Some of us supported you this long but now it's over.

Time to unite and beat the reptilian Republicans!

It really saddens me to hear people say that “if Hillary loses, I won’t vote for Obama,” just as it saddens me to hear, “if Obama loses, I won’t for Hillary." Wake up people, this is 2008! If you’re a democrat – then you vote democrat and remember that the two aren’t too far from each other. They share some same goals. If you want change in the US, then vote democrat

Jeez it;s finally over 30 years of Bush-Clinton. WOW!

The problem is that the MSM (not Obama) is making Hillary feel like she's wasting time and money by staying the course. Obama told her that she should stay in until she was ready to go. What's the big deal? There are only a few weeks left. Now is the time to seal the rift within our party (anysone see McCain on SNL this week?) and look toward November. We can't be divided at the time of the convention.

Great race, Hillary. Good luck, Barack!

Mr. Buffet have a mine like steel when it come to business and eyes like an Eagle in seeing a whole continent to buy and sell our good for at least the next hundred years. With Mr. Obama at the helm and our find business men durning what they do best we are in a win win prosition where we and the Afrocain will both benfit from good relation.

Who says he cant bring people together. I hope this shows the GOP that we DEMs may be mad at each other... but we hate repugs more

I agree with a previous poster about MI and FL. As a lifelong FL resident, I cannot for the life of me understand why people are falling for Hillary's B.S.! First, she agrees to the rules put forth by the DNC, then when she feels she needs our votes to win, she tries to portray herself as our "saviour" because we were "disenfranchised"! Give me a break! Why wasn't she fighting back when this decision was first made? Wake up people! It's because she didn't think she would need FL and MI, and she didn't plan for a campaign that would last beyong February 5th!!!

Hillary doesn't give a rat's behind about FL voters. She only wants to win! The funny thing is, even if you count FL and MI, SHE STILL LOSES!

I must say, I have a great deal of nostalgic respect for the Clintons. I voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 – the first time I EVER voted. But now it is time to move forward. It's time for the Democrats to unite around Barack Obama. Let's hope Hillary realizes this – and SOON!

geez! why can't hrc just notice what most other intelligent people already know......obama is the BEST person for the job! go obama! and lead us to a greater tomorrow.

As an Obama supporter, we need to stop alienating Clinton supporters. And as much as I find Clinton abrasive, she is a strong political force that the Republicans will need to deal with along with the Obama. Not to say she should be the Veep. She would be a contradiction to the Obama message. Regardless, to all Clinton supporters, I'm sure Obama supporters would feel the same way, hurt, resentful, etc..etc... but I have to ask, is McCain a better choice? Please check yourselves. Be adults. Obama's platform isn't very much different. It's like comparing golf green to evergreen. Geaux Obama!!!!!!

Well of course, The Media has declaired the winner before this race is over. It was not like this from the start.

Americans have become a nation of front runners. We need to "feel good" about how we are perceived by others. Perception is now fabric of our lives.

Good for you Obama! Its been a hard drawn out fight, but alas, integrity and honesty always wins no matter who you are and where your from!

SORE LOSERS, Please stop attacking CNN for this poll. It was done by GALLUP.

OBAMA/HAGEL 08

Obama is now the democratic party leader,and all democrates must live with that ,lets rally behind your leader and get ready for the show down in november,
Obama08

A couple of observations..
Why is it that the media only speaks about and glorifies the Clinton double digit wins..
I do believe Obama has a few of his own...
Another thing ...in the general election Delegate RICH California is never spoke of...Florida and Ohio, and all of those are...What happened to California...I believe Obama is going to surprise a bunch of so called swing states..I can see the whole country...in the General Election...Nothing but clear BLUE skies...Good days ahead...Go Obama...

I have never seen a sweeter picture of Bill and Hillary together. I am an Obama supporter, but this picture for some reason the picture of Bill hugging Hillary and Hillary's expression made tears come to my eyes. Hillary, even if you don't get the nomination. You are the best. Take care Hillary.

Please do not sit home if Obama is the nominee. This country and the rest of the world cannot take four years of McCain.....

Please face reality and exit gracefully! To be a good looser is nobel, and one can exit in a big way by rallying all supporters behind the nominee. When Democrats win against Republicans, all Democrats win no matter who's name is on the ticket!

Once again, let's bury our ego and work for the common good!
God Bless!

Say goodnight, Hillary, and turn out the lights. There will be no 3:00 A.M. call for you.

HATS OFF TO BOTH OF THE 2 HOT DEM PEOPLE IT HAS A BEEN A GOOD RACE AND IT IS TIME THAT THEY BOTH STAND TALL AND FIRM TOGETHER AS MKL SAID FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST THANK GOD ALMIGHTY FREE AS LAST FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IT HAS A BEEN A LONG HARD 8 YRS TIME FOR BEST TO GET BACK INTO THE BIG AND DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TURN THIS COUNTRY BACK AROUND !!!!!!!!!HATS OFF OBAMA, CLINTON AND EDWARDS YOU ROCK !!!!!

I think it's very sad that intelligent men and women are not backing Hillary. She has the years of experience with her husband being President. Together they had the courage and integrity to see themselves through the immorality in their marriage and stay together, something most people would not have done. It's obvious they truly love one another and they are prayerful people, forgiving one another as God would have them do. Hillary would make a great woman president, with the guts and determination to see this country through anything the rest of the world would throw at us. She has what it takes. O'bananna does not. He is simply the puppet on the string of the world dominators. He is nothing but the fake storefront of the western town mentality, run by those who wish to control the world. He is proof positive that those who have the most money and power dominate the rest of us. The American political process is corrupt and deceptive. It is no longer about who would do the best job, but rather about who has the most money and political power – perhaps it has always been this way, but now it is more evident and this country is going to suffer greatly because of it. Only God can turn things around now.

It's about time! Thus time to leave the stage, finally, I would say. But the Clintons never know what time it is.

DEMS DONT WORRY!!! all these people who say they would never vote Obama were never tru dems anyway. if you are a hillary supporter and u vote mccain you were never a hillary supporter.

Well Hillary after this you can go back to living an elitist life again.

I am soo glad someone finally made the Monty Python "Black Knight" reference. I referred to the Fast Times at Ridgemont High Cheerleader screaming enthusiastically yet unsuccessfully and alone in a pep rally in a post yesterday.

I must say I find it telling that many Hillary supporters claim they will "never vote for Obama." This demonstrates the lack of depth of their position on issues. Same statement goes for Obama supporters saying the reverse a month or two ago. You would rather vote for a republican (albeit finally a more centrist republican), yet a pro-war, fear-mongering republican, over a candidate who is nearly identical to Hillary in position on the issues. Why?

Democrats unite. If you allow such immature, petty discussions drive your behaviour, you will contribute to the ongoing cycle of fear-mongering politics and the separatist ways of this terribly failed administration´s foreign policy. The lowest approval ratings in recorded history. Democrats in 08, Please show some brains.

To me, it's obvious that the Democratic ticket will be Obama/Clinton. Every other tight Democratic nomination in history has had the runner up in the VP slot. In addition, the Clintons are very talented, and Obama knows how to work with talented people.

I don't understand the concern about Bill Clinton. If Hillary is the VP, the Clintons will live at Number One Observatory Circle – not a bad deal. Hillary will have an office in the West Wing. Bill wont. So I don't understand why Bill Clinton being the second spouse (or whatever you call it) makes any difference. He's still our beloved ex-president, and his experience may be very useful, but he wont be involved in day-to-day decisions.

Well my wife and I are not surprised by these latest poll figures. We are both white without a college degree and are considered middle income hard workers, and have supported Obama from the start. Those primary's in WV and Kentucky do not in anyway represent main stream American. What we find very interesting is that both Clinton's have called the voters in those two states as "Uneducated White's" , yet they still vote for her: This is Amazing to us, how people from that area do not recognize when they are being insulted.

FOR EVERYONE WHO ISN'T VOTING OBAMA – GET TO KNOW HIM. READ HIS BOOKS. HE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR AND HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU BECAUSE HE HAS THE CELLULAR ROOTS THAT WILL NEVER ALLOW HIM TO SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM YOU. AND HIS ETERNAL GOAL IS TO BRING US ALL TOGETHER – DON'T FIGHT IT – WE CAN DO IT – BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT – TOGETHER.
As for Senator Clinton – she will have her day – she's come so far and we all know she is capable. The fact remains – for what this country needs right now – we need Senator Obama. This is not a gender or race thing – this is a – we need your help Senator Obama kind of thing!

Dems come together...say no to McCain!!

Barack has a young family and is connected to the future welfare of this country. He only needs to look at his children for inspiration.

McCain has been hijacked by the GOP. He is the empty shell of the bipartisan politician he once was.

Democrats 2008!!!

Rural America has not heard enough about Obama to make an educated choice. they will before november once we clear those rumours floated by you know who.

THey will come to love him, there are way too much democrates to mess this up in 2008 .
Go Dems.

And this is news how? Any person with a hint of intelligence should be able to easily see through the charade that is Hillary Clinton.

For those Dems who say he wont win in Nov. He wont win because you wont vote for him. So its in your hands.

do you want

A BETTER AMERICA

or

A BITTER AMERICA

Not only has she lost ground, she's also lost her mind. Someone please yank her offstage. She's becoming obnoxious and I'm sick and tired of hearing her drone on and on how she's winning the popular vote. Isn't there a trap door near-by??

It's ova Billary." Turn out the lights the party is ova."

Predictions tonight

Kentucky
Clinton 60 Obama 40

Oregon
Obama 57 Clinton 43

Denial
Cinton 100 Obama 0

Please everyone member Ted Kennedy in your prayers and lets elect a democrat into office this year Go Dems 08...

Please Dems, lets look at the BIGGER picture. This Nov. we need to all go to the polls and vote for any DEM on the ticket. WHY? Because with this election we can destory the Republican party. They will take a drubbing like no politician has ever experienced. The evil that was the Bush/Cheney years will be like a bad horror movie. We have the opportunity to put a majority in both houses and take control of a filibuster proof congress that can deliver what we the American public has clammored for for a long time.

Because Hillary lost is not a reason to vote McCain.

If you want to get even? Then vote for any Democrat on the ticket/

The only person who does not know that Hillary has lost the race is Hillary. The only thing she keeps doing is making a fool of herself.
The country sees her as a flip floping liar who can not be trusted.
Hillary – wake up and give up.

Obama 08 YES

DEMS '08! Together we can!

I am from NY...I do think we need to hurry and come together before McBush is allowed to just rampage on with his blatant lies and mischaracterizations while we tear ourselves down....the world is watching!!!! McBush is very out of touch, he basially chastises Obama, and then a sentence later agrees with him...who can honestly even say with any self-dignity that they would vote for this bozo bush impersonator????

It is about time we become a united political party and we put the republicans out of the White House. Most of us can not take another minute of a republican government.

Folks it is time for us to come together to fight against John McShame and the republican machine. Right now we should stop bashing senator Clinton and her supporters because we need their help. PLEASE PLEASE I cannot take another 4 years of the Bush policies, let's get behind our nominee and change America for a better tomorrow for our children

For those of you who will whine and complaign about not having a candidate to vote for, do us a favor. DON"T VOTE we don't need you screwing things up more in the country because you were pissed off that Hillary didn't get the nomination. WAA WAA im voting for McCain because hillary didn't win WAA WAA. Cry me a river!

Obama '08

Look, Gayle, this election is not about Hillary. It's about the nation we so love. You should know that this election is a contest. If she did not win, it does not mean people should do things to have the republicans in the White House again for our gas, food, and the war to put this country off line. A democrate should always be a democrate. I need you to vote Gayle because I am for Hillar, but if she do not get it, I can not put the republicans in the white House. Democrates has lost for a long time now. This is their chance for victory.

Duh… like we didn’t see that coming.

A Dem is a Dem. And a Dem will vote for a Dem in November. Blue-collar/white-collar, rich/poor, educated/not educated.

Without Hillary in the mix, Obama will pick up the votes. It’s a no-brainer.

Thanks CNN for reporting the obvious though. Hillary and some of her blue-collar support need to see that to understand only one Dem will be in the mix in November. They don’t seem to grasp that.

Come on lets end this allready ! (yes Obama can )

Its all over for Clinton.Obama is the man.
Pls u should ask the reason why Mccain's face is like that.
Imagine a man who says he knows nothing about the Economy of Great AMERICA and he want to be preseident.?Ohhhh.
Too bad John.
Obama 08

The shock and awe will die down..soon. The most important thing is that they have each other.

You don't have to have a college education to have common sense: the race is over and folks will vote for their own best interest. Congratulations to Sen. Clinton for a historic run at the White House: she should be proud, not of the methods she used, but of the fact that she made evident than women can compete for the highest office in the land. I hope she runs for NY governor or stays in the Senate.

Obama/Somebody Equally good '08!

it's over. no more Bush/Clinton rule/regime.

Gayle, don't be ridiculous. Decide based upon the candidates and their positions on the issues, be it in the Primary or the Gen Election. Grow up.

PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone explain to me why HILLARY supporters are so upset because BARACK beat her fair and square!!! JUST FACE IT!!! He didnt lie, he didnt pander, he just out campaigned and out manuevered her. STOP BEING SORE LOSERS!!!!

And if you call yourself a democrat and you say that you'll vote for McSAME instead of OBAMA, when Hillary and OBAMA basically have the same ideas, do us a favor, SWITCH PARTIES!!!! Because you obviously have a closed, simple, conforming, idiotic mind . Yep, that sounds like a Republican!!!!

OBAMA/WEBB 08

Clearly, those still supporting Clinton and claiming to see "no substance" in Obama, are simply not looking or listening to anything with any personal effort beyond headlines that align to their personal preference... Get off your butt and do a little work to learn about what's going on around you!

I think people should really take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Obama is most more closer to Hillary positions on everything. I hope that after the disappiontment people will come around. You are just hurting yourself if you don't. 100 years of war..............ect.

Well, there goes all her "current" arguments. You can only lie to yourself and the public for so long as George Bush found out the hard way. See, Hillary, we're not as dumb as you think. You really insult me and my family when you "misunderestimate" our white, blue collar intelligence.

Haha, some of the comments these Hillary supporters make are delirious to a laughable extent.

Just accept defeat and quit being such poor losers.

I AM SICK AND TIRED of these women who keep saying they won't vote for Obama.

I AM A WOMEN AND PROUD DEMOCRATE and will rally behind Obama b/c I'M NOT THAT SELFISH AND NOT THAT STUPID TO GIVE UP MY VOTE THAT MY FORE-MOTHERS FOUGHT TO GIVE ME.

If we loose this race it'll be b/c of MISGUIDED, BITTER, AND SELFISH WOMEN, who can't see the BIGGER PICTURE.

SO SUCK IT UP AND VOTE DEMOCRATE!

Mmmm good strategy !!

Why she isn't attacking Obama anymore?
Why is he not attacking Clinton anymore?
Why are they attacking Mcshame all the time?

Behind the scene they planned to get more independents and republicans over to the democratic side. I call this some kind of FREE PUBLICITY!

They will definitely win in the fall !

Obama for president '08
Clinton in cabinet for Health '08

I've been a strong supporter of Obama's since day one. With that said, I can honestly say there has never been a time where I would not vote for Senator Clinton if she were to become the nominee because WE NEED TO DEFEAT McCain!!!

Democrats MUST STAND TOGETHER and get our country on the right track again!!!!

Gayle: Vote for the person that will do the best job. In 2000 and 2004, people voted for Bush because they "liked" him more. Because he was the guy they prefer to have a beer with. They didn't take into account who would do the better job. Clinton was a very strong candidate but unfortunately she will lose. Between McCain and Obama, vote for the person who will do the best job. The person who provide change from the problems of the past administration. For the person who will defend our civil liberties, the right to choose, and truly is in tousch with America. I don't Like Clinton, but I would have voted for her because our country cannot afford to have a Republican in the White for the next four years. Especially this one.

Seems the dems are starting to come together to beat the living daylights out of the GOP this coming fall.

Great that the dems are grown up enough to realise who the real opponent is. I am looking forward to the results in november.

No more republican in the WH next january, what a relief that will be!

Demographics, shmemographics.

We are all PEOPLE, and the people have spoken!

No more red states and blue states! This is the UNITED STATES!

HOP ABOARD, THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE!

Surprise, Surprise

Anyone who doesn't want to vote for Obama but is a Hillary supporter, Why? The both have almost identical political beliefs, Hillary doesn't want you to vote for Mccain over Obama, why would you do it? Why would you not just vote for the winner of the party that best fits your beliefes. If you are a Clinton supporter and refuse to vote for Obama, the least you can do is stay home or vote for Nader or something. Why would you ever vote for the complete opposite party? It makes NO sense.

You also must realize there can only be one nominee, and Obama is leading in pledged delegates, if he has more pledge delegates, why would he not win? WHY? If the nomination were somehow given to Hillary over Obama, even though he won more delegates, what would that say about the election process? I think Obama supporters would have a much better reason for not voting for Hillary for the simple fact that Obama is the front runner, and will stay that.

Also, anyone still trying to argue she has the popular vote, take into consideration that there were ZERO votes for Obama in Michigan since he wasn't on the ballot. Hillary gained over 330k votes in Michigan, there were 220k uncommitted votes (probably wanted to vote for Obama but he wasn't on the ballot...) The fact that she is trying to say she has won the popular vote counting Michigan and Florida is funny to me since She gained all those votes and he gained nothing, and even after doing that kind of crazy math she is only up 40k votes. Maybe there should be a compromise, that those states can count, but All those uncommitted votes in Michigan should go to Obama (he would have won more votes then that anyway if that state would have done its primary on the actual date) That can shut everyone up about the popular vote, and when you do the math that way(the more logical way of doing it) She would be down by oh... what? 180k votes or so?

Obama supporters:

GET IT TOGETHER! Please stop hating on Clinton supporters. We need the whole party and we need to start being gracious winners and not acting like spoiled little kids. Yes it's exciting that we have won, but we NEED Hillary supporters in November, can we please work hard to get them instead of pissing people off??

I'M not sure why people feel that cnn is pro-obama. they haven't said one thing to support his candidacy. if anything they've glorified hillary as if she was the pope.

i think it's just time that we all unite and support obama. hillary can and will only win if she does away with him and his family (please don't take to this idea hillary). it's not fair that this continues and hillary should do all that she can to make sure everyone supports him and that we make him into a stronger candidate. in her heart of hearts i truly believe that hillary knows obama has a better chance at winning the ge, but a woman wants what she wants.

Poooooooooooooooooooooooooor Hillary! You have an opportunity to fool

This is truly wonderful news!

Democrats will unite around Obama and keep converting Republicans into Obamacans.

"waaahh, my candidate lost, so now i'm going to vote for someone who believes the opposite things are best for the country just because it makes me feel better!" – Anyone who does this doesn't deserve to vote.

OBAMA-NATION,
ITS A WIN!
IT HAS BEEN A WIN!
So,
LETS GET THE DEMOCRATS TOGETHER, ALREADY!!!!!!

I read some of these comments & can only shake my head. Those Democrats (?) that say they will never vote for Obama, yet the only reasoning you have is you don't like the man. This is a America & we have the right to vote however & for whomever we please. The sad thing is you'll be the FIRST to complain if Sen. McCain gets into the WH & continues down the same road we've been on for the last 7 years. Vote as you please but don't gripe & moan about what could be or could have been. By the way go ahead & get your Republican card. Because by no means are you a true Democrat.

This definitely looks good for Obama. It seems like all the Dems will come together to beat McCain. We need to put a Democrate in the White House and that will be Barack Obama. The DNC will not let Hillary STEAL the election with her grand illusion of getting the popular vote by illegally counting Florida & Michigan where Barack did not campaign or was not even on the ballot in Michigan. How UNFAIR would that be?? I would hope some kind of fair compromise will be worked out.

It's comforting to know that many supporters of Clinton are willing to accept Obama as their compromise choice. I would have done the same had it gone the opposite way, even though I was very angry at her. Either Obama or Clinton would certainly be better than McBush.

Those Clinton supporters that continue to backlash at Obama for stealing their choice... I can understand their anger and their frustration... as I already said, I am also angry at Clinton, and felt she was playing too dirty to deserve my vote. I cannot help but see the comparison of frustration expressed by Rev Wright, the feeling of racism and sexism in America... both are real, both have chips on their shoulders, and both have every right to express themselves. God bless America, the black liberation movement, and women's rights. We are more alike than we are different.

More Math:

Obama needs 14 more delegates to reach the majority of pledged delegates (1,627).

If we add Florida (211) and Michigan (157) the majority is 1811.
If Obama wins Oregon by 10% (29/23 of 52 delegates) and loses Kentucky by 30% (18/33 of 51 delegates) he has 1660 and needs 151 more delegates. Obama and Edwards together had 47% of votes in Florida which should translate into some 100 delegates -> 51 more to go. 40% voted uncommitted in Michigan. If even half of those are Obama voters he will receive another 32 delegates for a total of 1792. That means that even with counting everything Hillary's way Obama needs only 19 delegates from Montana (16), South Dakota (15) and Puerto Rico (55). 19 out of 86 = 22%.
So even if Hillary can convince the super delegates that her way of counting is correct (and nobody seems to buy that argument), she still loses in pledged delegates.

I really do not think that Hillary is losing her support group, i think they just like everyone else want to unite the Democrat party and move on.

A very positive sign for the Democratic Party....we need to heal and unite for victory in November!!!

Dem in the White House!!!

For all so-called Democrats that will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee:

Are you truly democrats? Have you not had enough of failed Bush policies which McCain is just going to continue? Are you not tired of reading of more and more casualties in Iraq?

Think about the future.

Democrats United We Stand

And the wheels start to slowly spin off the wagon...

I can't wait to hear all of Clinton's cronies shut up. To hear the things they say and the spin they try to put on the inevitable defeat...and I thought Bush was delusional.

WILL EVERYONE PLEASE STOP HATING AND COME TOGETHER TO BEAT THE REPUBLICANS?????

James in Redland, CA

Are you serious? I wasn't what the clinton's said or did to get Obama the support of the black people as you said, it is Obama himself. Stop always thinking we as an african community can only vote for the clinton's they had their time it's time for change or haven't you been listening? Obama is that change .

As an Obama supporter since he entered the race, I'm thrilled to see the Democratic base uniting around him as we near the general election. I also hope that other Obama supporters will join in commending Senator Clinton on a hard-fought campaign. It should be clear to any Obama supporter that Clinton would have made a fine President, at least compared to McSame, and the same goes for Clinton supporters regarding Obama. I don't see much Clinton bashing among Obama supporters myself, and surely not more than I see Obama bashing by Clinton supporters, but the fact is they are nearly identical when it comes to their policies and we all need unite as Democrats if we want to avoid a third term for W.

i agree with some of the other bloggers...let's keep it simple and straight...kinda like boxing...the referee looks at the two opponents,and says keep it clean, DING!!!! Let's unit and keep it clean!

Senator Cllinton, please do not do this!!! This race is very important for the Democratic party to win the White House back after so many years of misconception. I'd like to say to everyone even if you are in the opposite party to keep Senator Ted Kennedy and his family in your thoughts and prayers through this time of his illness.

LETS STICK TOGETHER! AS A BLACK MAN HILLARY WILL HAVE HER CHANCE IN 2016! BLACK PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR HER AT 92% AS WELL. WE ALL KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE! LADIES, SUPPORT THIS HARD WORKING MAN, HE HAS ENOUGH RESPECT TO STAND UP FOR HIS WIFE AND HE DOESENT CALL HER THE "C" WORLD LIKE MCCAIN CALLS HIS WIFE. JUST LOOK AT BOTH OF THESE MEN, LADIES YOU KNOW OBAMA TREATS AND RESECTS HIS WIFE MORE THAN JOHN MCCAIN! IT IS JUST THE TRUTH!

CLINTON AND OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND!

It is soooooooooooo hard to let the healing begin when Clinton surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro are saying they'd have to think about voting for another Democrat- because of sexism. What kind of leadership is that? How does saying something like that help heal the party?

If Hillary would just be gracious like Mike Huckabee, I'm sure no one would be asking her to leave the race. But the things she and her surrogates are saying are hurting the party, not healing it.

this is what happens when you don't know when to leave the dance floor

It is not about bashing Hillary; it is what Bill and she have done in the last months to bring this about. Bill was one of the most "adored" democrat until he threw Hillary and himself into the sewer! Is this bashing? I would submit not, because if they had remained positive, she could probably be our nominee. Many young women and even older ones like me have been sorely distressed by the path chosen by Hillary. We strongly support and advocate for women, we want them to be at the same level as men, but only if they deserve it. We do not want our daughters and granddaughters to look to somone like Ferraro, who is still bitter. We are strong in our own rights, and we say Hillary as such until she and Bill destroyed their own chances. They are still blaming others!! As the people we have looked up to, they should know better and rising above gutter politics would have raised their esteem as well. But sad to say, they went the opposite way. All of us are better than that if we choose to remain so.

YAY! America is rallying behind it's next leader: OBAMA!!

Yes we can!

As a woman I am VERY disappointed in the way Hillary has behaved in her campaign. She has used every female trick in the book to win this and all it has done is cost her. She has cried, begged, had fits and now she want special treatment because she is a woman.
All she has managed to do is prove to all of us that she should not be in the white house again. In My opinion she has let the woman of this country down by setting a very bad example of what we all want to be.
I am an Obama fan and there are many reasons for this. One big one is that he has yet to have to stomp his feet or cry to get everyones attention.
Next time a woman runs for President I hope to see a more stable one. But, for now, Obama gets my vote.
Cindy S., in Texas

Its healing time one and all, lets unite, lets us show the nation and the world what the UNITED STATES of AMERICA can be. Come on board Sen. Clinton, we know you're a fighter, lets fight for our beloved UNITED STATES. Like my 6 year old son says, OBAMA '08 USA....OBAMA '08 USA.....OBAMA '08 USA. We're all in the together.

In the immortal words of Gomer Pyle: SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE! what did you think was going to happen? Hillary winning?
NOT!

great to see all of the Dems coming around. however i don't get how a few racist voters in America who rather cross pparty lines than vote for a black man, considers that them and there little circle of friends will somehow change the election. go vote for McBush if it makes you fell better. for everyone of you who does that 5 people wont

Much like JFK picking LBJ, Obama needs to pick Clinton. It would be an amazing and historic ticket and once they are on the same team, they will take their amazing clout and change the world.

I know that a lot of you think that this is a bad idea, but if you look back to when the Clintons got in the WH, they were the "outsiders". In many ways they still are. She is not a part of the political machine nearly as much as the media would like you to believe.

Let go of your hatred. Let go of your fear. Think about the amazing potential that the two of these amazing candidates have in working together.

I wouldn't take this as a sign that the party will unite. Poll numbers can be manipulated to show what ever the pollster desires based upon the individuals questioned as well as demographics. I still think that there is a divide that Sen. Obama will not be able to heal. In particular, at least in Michigan, there is a lot of resentment toward his candidacy. A poll taken here after his last campaing event showed about half of the people thought he was just politics as usual and that his visit was too little too late.

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! You go President Barack Obama, you go!!! The voters are now coming together on one accord, to see that this country is given back to the American voters and not to the Washington Repugs conservatives, the wannabees, and the lobbyists.

Let's stay on this road and we can get back to the nation our fore fathers planned for us to be. Don't let the Repugs goad us by their fear mongering tactics. We need to think and research for ourselves. We see where the Repugs fear has put us for the last 8 years, practically in the poor house.

Let's go with that and let the Repugs know that this is the Democrats time to "heal" this country; starting, with our soldiers and our war veterans. They should have been on the top of the list years and years ago, they have protected and died for us, now they are begging for their benefits or living in cardboard boxes on the streets in the dead of winter. How sad is that? These people fought to keep us safe and we can't return the favor because of the red tape. They should have a b-line straight to the head of the benefits table. Dem's lets do this for the good of the country, let's make this change for 2008. Let's send the Repugs a "clear message" that their fear tactics won't work this time because we see it for what it is; their "wallets."

COME ON PEOPLE LETS GO LETS KEEP UNITING LIKE OBAMA SAYS YES WE CAN WE CAN RUN THOSE REPUBLICANS RIGHT OUT LETS GO KEEP GOING DEMS TO THE WHITE HOUSE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE OBAMA 08

I really do not believe in those polls. How come nobody has called me to count my vote on the polls. I just think thats a way to scare people off into thinking one is ahead of the other.......HILLARY 08-16

Great news for the general election, if this polling is accurate! It appears the only ones Obama won't be getting are the openly racist voters from 'blue-collar' states, who have bought into the myth that minorities are the cause of their problems, rather than the greed of businesses and their Republican supporters. With Obama a living wage, health care and job protection will be on its way. It'll be a battle with any president, but less so with Obama.

To :Former Obama Supporter

I believe there is no such thing as a former Obama suporter. You were never really for him perhaps, but were maybe leaning and changed your mind...but to say you're a former Obama supporter is not the truth.

jmarie wrote "media has not been s e x i s t ... "

jmarie, which planet are you from?

Why is it that CNN never publishes anything critical of it's position or Obama?

As a 50 something woman not registered with either party, let me go on record as saying that Hill/Billy Clinton does NOT represent anything about me. It's too bad that the first female candidate has to be this one.

jmarie is right. Clinton has suffered some from sexism, but she has benefitted far more from reverse sexism. Women write that they don't know Obama's policy positions, but his are detailed while Hillary's are not (unless you count "form a commission"). They write that Hillary speaks for all women; duck now – sniper fire! (Or filegate, or travelgate, or vast right-wing conspiracy, or illegal fundraising, or ...). All the men I know who don't want to vote for Hillary wish they could. But none see a difference between her and any other candidate who will say and do anything to obtain power. We all know as truth that Hillary is a power-hungry liar who doesn't care about her constituents (she would already be out of the race if she did). So, what we have to do is bring those sexists, racists and under educated voters her support Hillary back into the fold. I guess Hillary has to be the VP. What a shame to saddle the first truth-telling cadidate in memory with that sorry baggage, but this is still politics thanks to the sexist, racist and foolish people who still support Hillary.

Dallas, TX May 20th, 2008 1:10 pm ET said

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

Guess what! I know which president doesn't have substance.
I will vote for OBAMA because I see substance. I am not responsible for those who intentionally have myopic views. America is a Democracy and the majority begs to differ.

Well I am glad to see her still moving on. Whiny Obama is going to get eaten alive by the republican machine. He is already telling his opponent to be nice to he and his wife. What a sissy.

Clinton is the tough one!

Supporters of both candidates need to grow up, else, you will totally turn Independents off – PERMANENTLY.

Hillary supporters should not behave like spoiled little brats, and Obama supporters should not kick those who are already down.

The goal is to send the Republicans to political purgatory. Do not lose sight of that. You all need to grow up, right now!

IT'S OVER

She was my choice and I have contributed to her compain twice, but I'll swallow my pride and vote Dem even if she is not the nominie. I am not stupid to vote for third term of Bush in the form of McCain just because my candidate is not the nomenie.

Dallas TX: I think doing any research about Obama will unearth a lot of substance, although no candidate is perfect.

I think the thing that first made me really focus on Obama, back when it looked impossible for him to win, was his speech against the Iraq War. People say that it doesn't matter what he said because he wasn't voting in the Senate, but he still gave a very public speech outlining his reasons for opposing it: had we actually achieved a victory, which at that point I think most people thought we would, that would have had awful ramifications for his political career, so I think that was quite a principles, brave thing to do. And moreover, if you read his speech (which you should), he was right. He could see all the reasons why the war was a mistake, and he wasn't afraid to say it.

once again, pro-obama, sexist media promoting faux or slanted stats to try and gain control of voters on important primary day...shame on you...obama will never get this female democrat's vote, and this will be the first time in this generation of females for several years ever...my female (and male) democratic ancestors must be rolled over in their graves at the ignorancy of the people who support obama and his lack of experience...i'm appalled about him thinking he can talk any sense w/ these foreign leaders...he talks of change, unity and hope...when all is said and done, if he's elected, we'll all be left hoping a whole lot: hoping we aren't going to hell in a handbasket before the next election to GET HIM OUT!

Dear Democrats,

I started off the 08 election season a Hillary fan, thinking her senate career had made her better, and yes I thought that she would be better than Bill. But then Obama winning made her old "fighter" come out again. I switched over, because we are tired of war, of politics, of divisive styles that pits one American against another. Sen. Clinton continues to drum the divisions and is actually playing all kinds of cards saying that because these groups of Americans support her, she should win... It is all about getting elected, it is all about pandering to one group of voters or another... one day it is the white men from WVa, the next it is women of NY.. She is skewing math every which way. She is looking at map and dividing the country between high turn out and low turn out and blue states and red states... Enough!

Despite my total lack for her as an individual politician at this moment, I would STILL vote for her IFshe was to be the Democratic Party candidate. That is my conviction. That is my resolve at this point.

Because a DEMOCRAT is who we need in the white house. It don't matter what color s/he is, what gender s/he is, what his or her economic back ground. None of it matters.

We, the Democrats, need a Democrat our OUR house.

So, please, stop this hate this and hate that, and i'll never vote this or never vote that...

Let us vote for our 2008 Democratic Party Candidate!!!

As far as this 'data' is concerned. Its amazing I cant find a single source to back up this claim.

Would CNN mind releasing the data and breaking it down so we can see who was polled and in what numbers?

I dont buy this sudden and obnoxious turn around in voter attitudes all of a sudden .It doesnt make common sense in the slightest.

I'm with you Gayle! I believe that Obama is getting support from these delegates because he is inexperienced, malleable and controllable. If he gets the democratic nomination, he will not win this election, he can not beat McCain. Clearly, Clinton is a very strong experienced woman who will not back down, will fight for what is right and will not let others control her. GO HILLARY!

Sen. Clinton is still in this because 17 million people have voted for her so far, and she is their representative in this race. How can that be so hard to understand?

Ted Kennedy was behind over 700 delegates when the primary was over, and he did go on to lose at the convention (700 is a huge deficit, compared to the one now) to Jimmy Carter. HE WENT TO THE CONVENTION and no one said a word about it.

Polls have changed on a dime throughout this election season.

its time for hillary to realize that she has the race its time for her to get that the math doesn't favor her .
She fails to realize that the math doesnt favor ? She has failed to realize that everything has lost her way . All she is doing is scream " omg omg i got the whites.. omg omg they love me ? " Its time she quit her sexism nonsense, She is a racist .
Go barack obama .
Lets all unite behind Obama and beat John granny mccain .
Johnny should be in a Retirement home !

Thank you David from Santa Rosa – good answer – well said and my sentiments exactly!

Re:DON'T BELIEVE THIS POLL!!!!!!
I think you may be right! Hillary isn't losing ground, it's a CNN trick.
Quick call all the Superdelegates and tell them to stop herding towards Obama. We've been Duped!!!

Whew!!! That was a close one. Good thing Hillary supporters are so sharp. I would have totally missed that one.

I totally agree with David from Santa Rosa, CA.
As a Black male and supporter of Obama, but long term fan of the Clintons, I was offended the way Hillary and Bill ran their campaign. But now I still have my respect and admiration for them. At this point Obama has not clinched the nomination no matter what anybody says. Hillary has every right to stay in the race as long as she keeps it positive. If Obama becomes the US Presdient come January '09, I'll love to see Hillary palying a major role. Obama has a lot to learn from the Clintons, just as he has a lot to fix of their mistakes. The Clinotns are still vital to the Democratic Party and the American politics. They may have ran some careless campaign, but that is also part of the game. Sometimes you calculate well and you win, other times you miscalculate and you lose.
So please fellow Obama supporters, calm down, think before you join the bickering and bashing of Hillary and Bill. They deserve our respect for who they are. Could we draw a line from our political idol....? Let's play a politics that does not consist in tearing each other down, but in lifting America and Americans up. It's time for change, yet charity begins at home. We must be the change we want to see, says Gandhi.

. . . So much for the Republicans disguised as Democrats who always
blog that they will vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't win.

More and more people are starting to see a connection with her and Rove. GOP so doesn't want Obama for President.

Floridian for Obama.

It truly is a shame that the media does not give equal share of time to Hillary Clinton, as well as trying to convince people that Hillary's fight for the nominee is lost. IT IS NOT LOST!

Regardless of the numbers, I still believe that Hillary Clinton is a stronger candidate who can beat McCain in November. Obama lacks the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to beat McCain in November.

Why is the national media favoring Barack Hussein in their coverage? The "Polls" do not show a fair and unbiased reality.

HILLARY CLINTON s the RIGHT CHOICE, as well as having the "Right Stuff" to beat McCain in November

you can all go on believing this media manipulated crap. obama is going to go down in a landslide in november and you will blame hillary, but it is really his fault for dividing this party. hillary is fighting on to reveal this fix for obama that has been on since the beginning. he steals all his proposals from clinton and people like me don't believe his branded messages. they mean crap to us and we will never fall for it...

HILLARY 08 or MCCAIN 08 hell with the dem party they have screwed millions of us period.

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

Billary needs to get out of this race. Our country needs Obama's leadership right now. We don't need the same old tired politics the Clintons are offering.

David of Santa Rosa has said what needs to be said. All Obama supporters should listen.

Explains his Obama support.

This result is mostly because the media have crowned Prince Obama as the winner. The voters in the primary states still seem to think that Ms. Clinton is a candidate and keep voting for her. The results this evening should be interesting.

One wonders why, where the system provides for the decision to be made at a convention, everyone seems to want to act as though some other process is at work. I must not understand the purpose of a convention. I thought that the convention was to choose the candidate for president of the respective parties based on the delegates attending.

Instead it seems that the the media get to declare these contests over and the American people, voting in primaries, don't count. Perhaps some other system of doing this such as letting the media make the choice based on poll results would be preferred. I don't think that is democracy, but what the heck.

stop wasting your time hillary. people are sick of your lies and "fuzzy math"

I have analyzed the daily tracking polls if this company for a few months. The poll says that Obama is now the Democrats’ choice as nominee. The same company also has a daily general election tracking poll. When all people are surveyed regardless of party affiliation, Clinton performs better against McCain than Obama does against McCain. That trend has been steady. This leads me to believe that less people are identifying themselves as democrats. I am not sure why. Maybe it is Clinton’s fault for not giving up. Maybe it is Obama fault because of his policies or perceived flaws. Maybe it is because life long conservative democrats are losing faith because the party has moved to the left the last three elections. Regardless, this is a problem for all of us democrats.

No one polled me... I am a well-educated woman with a family and I WILL NOT vote for Obama... shall I say why.... the list is too long and getting longer each day. I know there will be more skeletons coming out of the closet soon......... just wait and see.....

Hillary 2008

I totally agree with David from Santa Rosa, CA.

Let's stop the baiting.... Republicans cannot be in power next year....

I am british and cannot vote. I feel this country needs to establish itself as the power it was. The UN will be able to end the IRAQ war with dignity, when the US consults it and has a working relationship with it.

Please talk to your enemy's, view your problems as you would teach your children.

Gayle ~~ Bill Clinton himself said at the Nevada State Democratic Convention in Reno this past Saturday, that in November we all need to come together to put a Democrat in the White House, no matter which one it is.

Obama is going to be a great President and it is time to unite this party. And more importantly defeat the politics of war and ineptness that has become the Republican way of late.

Billary needs to get out of this race and do what is best for the party, not her own selfish agenda. Our country craves the new leadership that Obama can offer. Hillary would make a good Secretary of Labor.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.

THAT SOUNDS SO GOOOOOOOOD!

Welcome home democrats!!

But please leave Geraldine Ferraro, the racial bigot behind for the republicans!

YES, WE CAN!

YES, WE CAN UNITE!!

and...

YES, WE CAN trounce old hag john mcshame this fall!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!

We need to unite so stop the bickering with the clinton clan. I am telling my obama friends on here to join forces with the clinton clan and we need to start attacking JOHN MCCAIN.

Apparently, this poll did not include me. I'm not going to cast my vote for Obama period. McCain is a good man with experience. If it is not Hillary than it will be McCain. PERIOD!!!!

Gayle, you said that you dont like the nominee and that you will never like him or even vote for him, well i tell you what, you better get used to it, the sonner the better, or you can move somewhere else to another country,

OBAMA 08/12

Both candidates competed fair and square. One had to come out the winner. I would have been happy with either as they are both qualified. The country is not going to go to pot, as some are suggesting, if Obama wins. If you haven't noticed, the last 8 yrs have already brought us there and may in fact get worse if McCain is elected. His recent statements show no demonstrable departure from the Bush policies.

It's time for healing–time to resist demonizing. I am an Obama supporter, but I believe that the spirit of the Obama movement is a rejection of person-bashing. Hillary Clinton and John McCain are both dedicated, intelligent, valuable members of our democracy; even George W. Bush is. When we trash the other side, we "lose our bearings" (THIS, not age, is what Obama meant by that phrase).

This positive attitude is not a corny let's-all-be-friends goody-goodiness; it's a difficult, brave discipline–and Obama supporters have "lost their bearings" as much as anyone. So let's work on this–let's expect respect and humanity from our nominees and from ourselves. The forces of negativity and cynicism are so strong in American politics–they have been at least since Watergate–that we're all tempted to go to the "dark side." But I'm convinced that Obama and McCain have emerged in their respective parties because they both have tried to resist this nastiness, and we have to help them keep their "bearings." At stake is nothing less than a civil American society.

I believe this has as much to do with people getting to know Clinton as is does people getting to know Obama. So many women have told me they no longer support Clinton because of her manipulative and divisive manner matched with her lack of affinity for truth. Much of the "low income gap" may have to do with less access to cable news and other sources that, through no fault of their own , leave them less informed. Some people have to work so many hours there is no time left to learn more than sound bits. This makes people more easy targets of pandering and less likely to research. As time goes by we all become more aware. ALL OF US, not just one group or an other. And thank God some realize, even if they prefer Clinton, that the time is here that Dems must unite and vote for the canidate that is going to win the nomination. Obama. I would encourage those who still have doubts to read his books and web site.

It is called the bandwagon effect! The more you win the more supporters you will have!!!

Oh Goodie! Another Poll for people to twist to make a point... can't put my finger on it but strange how remarks she made came to be part of the story about her polls, as if to imply she was wrong or something else...

I don't understand how people can't let her run her campaign and let her supporters support her... Isn't that the patriotic and american thing to do? How many millions have voted for her and have done so because they believe (just as much as obama and mccain's supporters) that she's the best for the job and people are attacking her for staying in... she's doing justice to the millions of her supporters that have voted for her, why be so vicious?

Of course the polls show him gaining ground. Polls like everything else changes everyday. It really doesn't mean a thing. It doesn't change the fact that Obama isn't qualified to be the President of the United States. I wonder who is pulling his strings and bankrolling his campain. I see alot of back handed and back room deals being made.

Let's get someone in there that "whoever" is really behind this campain that we can boss around. Obama will be the puppet...I wonder who is the puppeteer?

If Hillary does not get the nomination she should play the game smarte than what she does. Hillary should tell the DNC if you don't seat the MI and FL delegates and give me the votes and delegates that I eaned I will then declare myself as an independent on the ticket. That would split the democrates making McCain the president and who cares if the democrats lose. I am a Hillary supporter but as long as Obama didn't win that would be the good news. I hope Bill Clinton gives her that advise. This is a dog eat dog campaign and Hillary should go for the bone.

David, Santa Rosa, CA at 12:49 has it right. It has been over for some time and it is sad that Hillary won't admit what she has to know in her heart. Now is the time to set aside all the bad feelings and heal the party.

As an Independant I want nothing more than to see things change from the way they are now and I saw that hope in the Democratic party this time around but this has worn on me as I'm sure it has a number of others. They have to change and soon or the Democrats will lose one of the best opportunitys that any political party has ever had.

To all of you so called democrats who will not vote for Obama, put on your sheets, aren't you late for your cross burnings?

I don't understand the reason my responses aren't being posted. I guess they aren't insulting enough. What a shame.

Told ya' it was over!

We Democrates need to pull together in order to get the Bush policies out of the White House. Vote for whomever is our Democratic candidate and put your personal prejudices aside, whether it is gender, race or religion. Those considerations have no place in politics.

First, Denial
Second, Anger
Third, Bargining
Fourth, Acceptance

Let's move on now!

Who cares about the polls, they have been wrong alot.. People don't care about polls..

As Obama is about to Obamarize Clinton so will he also with ease Obamarize MCcain in November this year.

Just look at what has happened to the once-conservative democrat party. Too bad!! But this is good for Sen McCain.

To Obamarules,
I have one question for you! Who's resonsible for getting the car(country) to the cliff in the first place? For over two hundred years there has been no minority or woman President!!!!1

Hillary has fought the good fight but it is time to unite behind the winner.
I will not betray my fellow democrats because my candidate did not win.
The idea is for a DEMOCRAT to win in November, not help the republicans. Senator Obama has been in the public eye long enough
for any democrat to see that he doesn't bite, and a democrat is better
than more of the same McBush policies that will surely not be in our
interests. Tired of paying $4.00 for gas?

Obama has the intelligence to win the presidency. He will outwit and out-debate John McCain. Hillary go back to the senate.

GO OBAMA!!!! EIGHT YEARS!!!!

Looks like the democrats are starting to unite behind Obama's campaign.

Clinton needs to put a fork in this campaign. It's done. It's over. I strongly disagree with Geraldine Ferraro. It's not that the country doesn't want a woman to be president, it doesn't want THIS woman to be president.

Any woman who can run on the strength of her leadership powered by the depth of her integrity will win the white house easily.

A woman who runs by trying to be a better "old boy" than the rest of the "old boys" will not. Fighters don't win, leaders win.

I love the comment that it's not over under the lady in the pantsuit says it's over. That may be true, but the lady in the pantsuit isn't Clinton, it's Pelosi.

Clinton continues to tell lie after lie. She claims "right now, more people have voted for me than have voted for my opponent." Well, this morning I ran the numbers, here is the truth of the primary elections before todays vote.

[Statistics Based on the 50 United States that have voted as of 5/19/08]

Overall percentage of vote: Obama 49.28% Clinton 40.63
Popular Vote (including Florida and Michigan): Obama 16,204,277 Clinton 16,105,062
Pledged Delegates (from primaries only): Obama 1518 Clinton 1393
Number of States Won: Obama 28 Clinton 19
Number of States Won by greater than 60% of vote: Obama 16 Clinton 3 [Obama has 4 greater than 70%. The only state that Clinton won by greater than 90%, Obama was not on the ballot]
Superdelegate Count: Obama 305 Clinton 277

Based on these numbers, HOW CAN CLINTON CLAIM SHE IS WINNING IN ANY CATAGORY???

The above are the simple facts of the election. It is time for Clinton to wake up and smell defeat!!

Like I've always said. 98% of Americans are apathetic, uneducated about the issues, lazy and follow the pack.

Anyone for more Kool-Aid?

For some reason HRC supporters want to believe that CNN pulls this information out of thin air. Look at the last paragraph of the article:

"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. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points. Gallup’s May 1-13 daily tracking poll results are based on a survey of 5,474 Democratic or Democratic-leaning voters. The May 1-13 survey results have a margin of error of plus or minus one percentage point."

See that word in there ... 'Gallup'? Gallup has been polling for about 70 years or so now. Gallup polls have been quickly quoted by the Clintonistas every time they have something good to say about their candidate.

And remember, Clinton supporters. By voting for McCain, you're essentially voting to lock down a conservative Supreme Court for the rest of your lifetime.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face ....

To all Clinton supporters, welcome aboard! Hillary fought hard and deserves MUCH credit!

To the bitter ones, GOODBYE, WE DON’T NEED YOU! With our 50 state voter registration drive, we are building a new coalition of new voters, disaffected republicans and TRUE democrats! So-- GIT TO STEPPIN!!!

Obama ’08 ALL THE WAY

In your dreams.
Women will NOT vote for OBAMA!

ANYONE BUT OBMAMA ANYONE!

They're selling Hillary 08 merchandise half-price at Dulles and Ronald Reagan airports in DC. Yippee! She's not making history, she is history. Go Obama!

Really, we shouldn't be talking to each other like the people who support the other candidate are the enemy. In fact, it shouldn't be a matter of enemies, it should just be a matter of recognizing that McCain, for all his good qualities, will be disastrous for this country, and that either Democrat, no matter how you feel about him or her, is a better alternative.

Remember, guys: unity. I may be an Obama supporter, but I would vote for Clinton in a heartbeat if she won. If Obama wins, as seems likely, then I hope and expect that most or all Clinton supporters will do the same.

Sadly so Clinton is the queen of spin. At one point she said she’ll remain in the race until the last vote is cast, then that changed to until we (DEMS) have a nominee. The coded words here are she’ll not give up after June 3rd, she’ll not give up until all supers have made their pledges, she’ll not give up until FL & MI issues have been settled, she’ll not give up until the convention is over and not until the DEM Party is a total wreck.

The Fat Lady is singing her encore!!

HELLO ALL
we had no doubt the clinton supporters would come on board. it is the republicans who are being so rude pretending to be dem.

god bless america and ted kennedy

Go Obama!

He has won this nomination with dignity and honesty.

Clinton needs to bow out gracefully so we, as Democrats, can be a united party. Unfortunately she has too big of an ego for this.

For all the Hillary supporters, just go to the polls in November and hold your nose and vote Obama! Hillary and Obama vote similiarily around 90 to 95% of the time!

You have to be kidding me. I wish all of you mindless Clinton-ites would realize you are rallying behind a woman who will do anything to be President. Look at her sweeping statement that she "is winning" the popular vote. That is if you cut out the caucuses (which is a contrary argument to her "let all the votes count." And she wants to include Michigan where Obama was not even a candidate. Huh!?! This is the President you want? I guess later, she'll say, "well, is winning depends on what your definition of is, is." Give it a break Hillary, you are only making this easier for the Republicans to beat the Democrats by dragging on this Farce.

More good news will follow as soon as Hillary gets out of the way completely.

Of course CNN would come out with this today – the media in general has been against Clinton from the beginning.

I'd like to know what is the difference between "wait a minute sweetie" and "hey boy" – and you say it's not gender based!!

Doesn't anyone else see that Rev Wright and Obama came up with the "crazy uncle " scheme to get Obama off the hot seat – perfect timing!

Obama is only for the rich – he is arrogant and desn't have a clue how to run this country -

Now that Operation Chaos is winding down, maybe we're starting to see *real* poll numbers instead of the slanted ones that certain radio show hosts wanted to see.

Why is Rush Limbaugh supporting Hillary and opposed to Obama? Because Rush does not have a college degree.

cnn fully of hates towards hillary u guys dot make no sense no more and from now ur fair and balance news for obama u guys need feel ashem to urself for ceatin all these hates to hillary and any hllary supportes dont vote for obama they think u stupid and im black i will not gonna vote for him because he inject racial to the race

I REALLY tired of Hillary's supporters trying to strong arm the dem. party with threats of not voting dem in the fall. Well if that's how you feel then so be it. Please just join the dem party and then hit their blogs. Okay, you're not going to vote for Barack in the fall...Who in the hell do you think is gonna beg you? Just remember, she WONT get it the nom in 2012...YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT! JUST SAY THANKS TO HILLARY AND HER SUPPORTERS THE DEM PARTY HAS FALLEN APART!

Barack 2008

This message board continues to disgust me. if you are a true democrat you will leave the bitterness behind and unite as one to ensure that we do not have 4 more years of Bush. Get overyourself. We can only have one democratic nominee, and its likely to be Obama. If you are such a sore loser and you will not vote or vote for four more years of Bush policy because your candidate did not win, then you I feel sorry for you. My six year olds know better and behave better. If you can't throw your support behind your beliefs, we don't want you anyways.

The People Want A Decent Honorable Intelligent President! The People Need A Leader That Has Integrity And Will Unite And Improve America! Positive People Of All Walks Of Life Want Change! Power To The Positive People Of America!

David in Santa Rosa...you're waisting your time. Hillary does not have the grace to admit defeat. She is going to run third party. Are you telling me Hillary Clinton will stand at a podium and support somebody else as the nominee of the Democratic Party!? PLEASE. She'll run third party and we are going to have President McCain for the next four years. Then Hillary will run again in 2012

Maybe if she had a little more style, she wears those pantsuits that make her look all hippy and frumpy. She doesn't look presidential. She needs to wear a skirt once in a while or better designed clothes. Obama is dressed to the nines. It should not make a difference but it does ( remember the images of Kennedy compared to Nixon) . She is not realistic, which makes me wonder about her judgemnet in other matters too. GO OBAMA !

Go Obama. We can do it. Yes

Another CNN lie! What I don't understand is why are Obama supporters so mean and full of hate. It sounds like you all go to Reverand Wright's church and maybe that explains why you all didn't hold Obama accountable for this disaster. One man stated it in a letter in another blog – that he never saw such hatred as in Obama supporters and such mean spirited comments, sexism etc. He said he will never vote for this man simply because of your actions as well as the media and the superdeligates who turned their back on the "dear friend Hillary". You all deserve what you get and that's all I'll say.

Quit the divisive talk, Senator Clinton, especially on Michigan and Florida. And while you're at it, muzzle Geraldine Ferraro, and your other "spokespersons". You are seriously harming your chances of becoming VP.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT. GOODNEWS FOR THE DEM.PARTY AND A SIGN TO SENATOR CLINTON TO JOIN THE WINNING TEAM. GO OBAMA

Of course CNN would come out with this today – the media in general has been against Clinton from the beginning.

I'd lie to know what is the difference between "wait a minute sweetie" and "hey boy" – and you say it's not gender based!!

Doesn't anyone else see that Rev Wright and Obama came up with the "crazy uncle " scheme to get Obama off the hot seat – perfect timing!

Obama is only for the rich – he is arrogant and desn't have a clue how to run this country -

I don't see my comment. What happened to it?

The support from young people for Obama may be due to their fear of the draft returning and several them ending up in the war. After all the death in Iraq and Afganisthan has been of this group. So they are voting their welfare. The press makes out as if they had some superior power to see into the future.

This is great news!!!!! No matter what is being said about Obama, he is still the front runner and he will be President of the U.S. come Novermber 08.

Clinton Supporters, you might as well come over to the winning team and stop all the hate for Obama......Obama is what this country needs and what we will have.

Obama all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!! I have been a CNN addict for a longtime. We are very dissapointed with most all of the CNN people!! It doesn't take a "bright light" to see that most of you are and have been for Obama. This should NEVER have happen since you are reporting news that should be bias!

Will not be giving 4 hours a night to CNN anymore!!

I am a 55 year old white male.
I support Barack Obama because he has shown intelligence and understanding of the reality we live in. He has understanding that America shows it strength not by cowering away from problems, but by taking them on. He has demonstrated to me an understanding of the world we live in, domestically and internationally.
I base my support for Barack Obama upon function and best fit for our need in our presidency. Race and gender means nothing. It never should be part of any equation to our measure of fitness to this job titled President.
I do not want someone in that position that drinks beer and bowls with me. I want someone smart and insightful that can lead our nation to greatness that it can be. It has nothing to do about dismissing the Average Joe or Jane. I do not dismiss myself. Just like a surgeon, I do not want an Average Joe or Jane operating me, so why would I want an Average Joe or Jane heading my country. That makes no sense as it could only lead our nation to mediocrity.
Therefore, race and gender plays no part, but intelligence and a grasp of reality are my measurements.
away

yes we can

I read these post and am shocked by the things I read. People its a competetion someone has to lose and someone has to win. Democrats or so caught up in their candidates that they fail to realize whats most important change in the direction of our country. Most people hate Barack cause he is black and a lot will not vote for Clinton because she is a female but they both must have kknown this when they entered the race just look at the history of our leaders who they where.....

ANYBODY BUT BUSH IN '08

Hilliary is just a big bag of wind. Blowing into whatever group she can align herself with and manipulate. She's for the hard working blue collar people but couldn't change a light bulb if she had to–but can tell you about auntie or uncle so and so who blah,,,blah...blah.....
Hilliary is all about the wrong things in america, greed, money and lying. Go ahead elect her she will be easier for McCain the beat. Then she can really scream that the election has been "sexist" toward her.

This is one vote Obama is not getting.

Polls are only the pulse of a nation in time of uncertainity.........however mathematics are forever........and they only express the nature of reality........it's over for Hillary.......and mathematics don't have a margin of error.

These cries of sexism are bogus. If anything, it's reverse sexism. The feminists are telling the women they need to vote for Hillary Clinton for no reason other than because she has ovaries. If I would have suggested that all men had to vote for Joe Biden because he has @#$%&'s, I can't begin to imagine the uproar.

Time now for the Democrats to rally and unite around Obama. Hillary is a fine candidate but her campaign strategy failed her miserably. Obama's campaign team read the DNC rules, followed the DNC rules and ran a well organized campaign.

Democrats who do not want to unite now basically wants another 4 years of Bush policies. No McBush!

Forgive me, but I'm a bit confused. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall in the beginning of this campaign that she had an overwhelming lead over him. I (being an african american male) was even leaning towards voting for her as was with so many others. After hearing both candidates position on things, I made an informed decision to vote for Obama. This was her race to LOSE and she did. She ran a horrible campaign. It was short sighted because she felt as though she would wrap it up quickly and in the mean time, he was prepared for the long haul. How can you support someone who is supposidlly ready on day one to run the country, when she couldn't even run an effective campaign? And now all the whining about things have really turned me off to her. There is no re-do, its over!

Some of you people on this blog and some of your friends are lying.
They are telling you they won't vote for Obama but apparently somebody is voting for him because he remains in the lead. The delegates aren't the only ones switching over. But that's ok. This race isn't about Hillary or Obama anyway. Its about the Dem party taking the WH back. Be it thru Obama or Hillary. Let take our country back!!!

TO: 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"

GAYLE YOU POST YOU HATE IN EVERY THREAD. WE HEAR YOU. YOU WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA. BE GONE.

I'm glad to see the party starting to come together. I know that there are strong feelings for each candidate, but when it comes down to the real issues – like risking the lives of our young people by continuing the war in Iraq, or making sure the Supreme Court maintains it's balance so that past rulings like Roe vs. Wade don't get overturned making abortion illegal – then it's important we support the Democratic candidate, regardless of whether it's Clinton or Obama.

Hillary still holds a commanding lead in the "Old Angry Broads" demographic.

You will do anything to elect your favorite son, Obama! He will never win the general election and if he does, we will be stuck with another "learn on the job President" like Bush was. CNN doesn't try to report the news, they try to influence the news in the direction their bosses want and you should be ashamed!

No one has polled me and apparently not the many Dems I know that do NOT support Mr. Obama but DO support Ms. Clinton and are not going to vote for Mr. Obama because he is not experienced enough to hold this office. Mr. Obama is a great speechmaker and sure is charasmatic but bottom line he does not have the necessary experience to hold the highest office in our land.

Let me ask you this, if you were hiring two employees sight unseen and not getting to hear them speak, whose resume would you think was better qualified?

Duhhh... it's natural for the public to begin to unite around a single candidate and because others are now doing that does NOT mean they wouldn't prefer Hillary. They just don't see her as the probable nominee... thanks to the pundits, media and the backstabbers of Washington.

For Hillary supporters who are not swayed by the polls and the media and the SG's we are uniting to right the wrong and to teach the DNC and Obamamaniacs a lesson.

We are voting for McCain '08 for Clinton '12.
Obama, well, NEVER!!!

Sen. Obama in the nominee PERIOD let the election play out so we can heal the party, and beat the sox off of John McCain this November. Those of you who are considering voting for McCain please think about what you'll be doing to this country for ANOTHER 4 years. Matters will only get worse with another republican in office. Please think about this long and hard.

They had it on Drudge report and the people only counted were 1214..Nothing very telling..

All I can say to you, CNN, Thats what you think!

It is not happening. If Clinotn is not the nominee, McCain or none of the above.

mmartin arkansaw May 20th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT! WIMP

The Clinton's only care about themselfs! Hillary says she cares about the voices of the people but the only way she could win is by having the super delegets over-ride the electorial delegets that are the voices of the people. I get really up-set that the media does not confront her or her soke person's about this controdiction! Her grace window is over! A grace window they would never never have given Obama! I also recall when Bill was running and having trouble getting the lower income vote,that Hillary said," Screw them! We can win without their votes!." My, My how things change when it servers your plans. They both are liars! Proven liars,not just my opinion!

According to some recent polls Obama would win Oregon (7 electoral votes) against McCain by 6% while Hillary would LOSE the State. Both candidates would lose Kentucky (8) to McCain. That seems to give Obama the edge in electoral math in today's primaries – but then who care about math or the facts?

The only reason she's still running is to raise money.

It's OVER!

Hillary will be stepping down by Friday, she has to. My vote will not go to Obama like millions of us soar losers that still believe Hillary should have won this by a land slide along time ago.
Blame it on the media or gender it does not matter, what does matter is that Obama is sent home also.
Leiberman/Clinton 08

Guys, we are all Democrats (or Republicans or Independents) who are fed up with Bush's policies). Let's just agree that we will rally behind the Democratic candidate because the alternative is 4-8 years of McCain's policies, which in some very important areas–Iraq War, economy, for example–are basically a continuation of Bush's.

If we don't unite as a party, thousands more Americans will die. I understand that many of Senator Clinton's supporters are disappointed, and they have every right to be, but please don't let your disappointment or your dislike of Obama blind you to the fact that he and Clinton are incredibly similar in terms of their policies, and that the alternative is thousands more American deaths. And Iraqi deaths. And just a lot of death in general.

Clinton herself said that to vote for McCain would be "a terrible mistake."

And please, can we all be a little more civil. People shouldn't call Clinton's supporters names, and Clinton supporters definitely shouldn't call Obama supporters "Obamabots." I understand why people prefer Clinton, and I respect that preference. I happen to prefer Obama (I am a white woman, by the way)and think that he would be a great president, and I expect that preference to be respected.

Obama, obama, obama the chant is getting louder

Democrats have to rally behind the winner to win against John McCain
whether it be Hillary or Barack. We all have one common goal and
that's to WIN in November for WE THE PEOPLE. Democrats stick
together and not let the republicans divide us by pretending to be
democrats against democrats on the blogs. We are ALL educated and
smart against the republicans. Unite and let the games begin.

YES WE CAN!!!
DEMOCRATS 08!!!!

Democrats who say they won't vote for Obama as our presidential
candidate are being childish....this isn't a school yard folks. Giving the edge to the GOP gives us more wars and lousy foreign and domestic policies.

Use your heads!

THIS COUNTRY IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO CONDUCT AN HONEST ELECTION.

WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT WAS NOT ELECTED BY MAJORITY VOTE.

NOW, IN THIS PRIMARY, SUPER DELEGATES ARE VOTING DIFFERENTLY THAN THE POPULAR VOTE IN THEIR STATES.
THIS IS LITTERALLY SAYING THAT ONE VOTE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS.

I WON'T VOTE FOR CLINTON OR OBAMA, AND I'M NOT EXCITED ABOUT MCCAIN. BUT THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE MUCH BETTER OFF IF OUR LEADERS WERE ELECTED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULAR VOTE, NOT DELEGATES, SUPER DELEGATES, OR ELECTORIAL VOTES.

As an Obama supporter, I think Mrs. Clinton should stay in the race for the remaining primaries. More importantly, for all she and her husband have contributed to this Country, she should be treated with the highest level of respect. I certainly wish her the very best!

Everyone seems to keep wondering why Obama didn't campaign in Ky and WV, and why these two states are considered Clinton territory.
They are two of the worst redneck states in the union. Obama wouldn't be safe in either one of them. These people are not voting for Clinton, they are voting against the black man. And, they wouldn't vote for Clinton if they thought she had a chance of winning. They don't like women as their boss, either. Obama's first showing of true bravery is to stand on a platform in plain view and speak to a crowd.
This country has not come so far that it is safe for a black man to be our president. The racist ideas are still behind the eyes of a lot of disgusting white men in every state who consider white men to be the most important element of America.

Michelle Obama's remark about America came from a different America than the white people know. She was raised in the black community and knows first hand the perils of stepping to the front of the bus. America is a different world to her and the black community.
Her pride in her adult years is well founded when she sees her husband a part of the other America. She has hope for her girls and their future that she didn't have; being in an open society that welcomes everyone regardless of their skin color. Her faith in that America will be tested many times, and that is terrible, horrible and exasperating.

On the VP position: Most of us know the Clintons well enough to realize the danger to Obama if he put her on his ticket. Most of us, also know, that she will do anything to become president. No-one will stand in her way. He wouldn't even make it to the Nov. election.
But, it is to also be noted, that McCain would very likely be the only one standing. It seems the Eastern world's ways have rubbed off on our country, rather than the other way around. Those red blooded red necks would have their way. No-one is going to change their
America. They like it the way it is.

ds, Missouri

All those groups are Judases and traitors!

Keep donating to Hillary! She needs YOUR money to pay back the $11 million she loaned to herself.

Looks like the fat lady in the pantsuit is singing.....game over

It's funny when pundits ask why Obama "can't seal the deal." It's a fact that negativity eventually takes its toll. Clinton, McBush, and Bush have all gone after Obama at one point or another, with hate- and race-baiting, bringing out the worst in voters. And then these people and their followers ask why he "can't seal the deal." This is too funny. I hope people see this for what it is, a game. Clinton, McBush, and Bush are betting the American polity is a body of idiots, and at times, their bets have paid off!

Excellent news. I have a question re: the Primaries for both Dems and Repubs. OK, McCain is the presumptive repub nominee, no one is disputing this and yet the voters are still voting in the remaining repub primaries. Why is it then it isn't ok for Obama to declare to be the presumptive dem and still continue with the primary? Is it because McCain reached the total delegates needed? Just a question I had in my head.

Reality Check for democrats.

Let's just say right now every superdelegate left goes to Hillary Clinton and gives the nomination to her. Is there anyone here Clinton/Obama supporters alike, that really believe that she would win the GE. After you have a candidate that one twice as many states had the majority of the elected delegates, was only down in the popular vote (using clinton math) by 5000 votes including a state he wasn't even on the ballot and raised more money than anybody in history using the internet and the average american. Is there anyone here Clinton/Obama supporters alike, that truly believes that she would win the GE. And as a women do you want the nomination to be given to hear when even though she may be a stronger candidate she was definitely out campaigned and out managed by Obama..

Load of crap CNN

This is one person Obama has not and will not win over. I'll either write Hillary in come November if she's not the nominee or vote for McCain. Unlike lemmings, I do run off cliffs because others do.

NOBAMA...

Hillary 08!

I love Obama, don't get me wrong, but these polls sure do smell fishy. It's like CNN finds polls to support the current trend of the nomination process every single day. Basically the race is mathematically over, so now CNN finds a survey that refutes every single argument Clinton is making to stay in the race...if the shoe were on the other foot, us Obama supporters would probably be screaming conspiracy. CNN has really done a shoddy job of "journalism" this year...it's nothing but a ratings grabbing event where they will shower coverage and support for one candidate from one week to another to spice up the excitement

I can't express how sad I am that Hillary is likely not to be our nominatee. I believe this miss by our party will greatly hamper our chances of winning the general election. I've been a loyal democate since I turned 18, but when faced with the choice between Obama and McCain, I'm terribly conflicted. I clearly believe that McCain is better prepared than Obama to back up campaign rhetoric with actions. I voted for Obama to become the junior senator from my state, but come on...president? In an election year that we were set to make history I'm afraid we're about to turn many long-term democrates into reluctant republicans.

Haven't you heard the latest argument from the Clinton campaign? The only voters with the maturity to understand the country's problems are women 50 or older. Since they still favour Clinton, she should win the nomination.

I am a woman also and feel Hillary is doing a great disservice to women. She is not portraying herself as strong but incompetent. Her whining about sexism is just her failure to admit she doesn't have what it takes to run a campaign much less the country. In her case "I am woman hear me roar" translates to her campaign needing a rabies shot.

Who cares?

Obama wont win bc Clinton supporters like me are not going to vote for him. For the first time in my life I will be voting republican and I am as excited to vote against Obama as I was to vote for Clinton.

Win-Win for me !!!

Now I see why she should be President!

With all of her political experience, Hillary can't even run a viable campaign.

Her Campaign is a financial mess!

She can't seem to count!

She has effectively lost a lock nomination to the new kid on the political block!
(By grossly underestimating her opponent, that’s the type of leader we want)

She either has a terrible memory or is simply a liar!

Is content playing silly political games such as the Gas Tax Holiday!
(Ignoring economist, because they don't agree and playing to the morons. Not surprising her campaign is broke).

Shows the Stubbornness of W, Rumsfield and Cheney.

Why not give her my Vote!

There's no need to bash Senator Clinton. She fought a good fight. She used the wrong strategy. Rather than sticking with the issues, she went negative & it backfired on her. And now she's allowing her pride to keep her in a race she can't win, and that's sad. It's really starting to become a sideshow. I think she's shown that attempting to bring our nation back to respectability is not tops on her priority list & Obama has continuously shown that it's his top priority. He has been consistent. When Hillary basically said all she needed to win was the "redneck" vote, I heard the fat lady warming up. This election is revealing the true feelings of this country, its TRUE feelings. It's intriguing to watch.

What argument does Hillary still have in getting the nomination? She just deserves to be President.

Well this is good news all democrats should unite to beat McCain in November in 08 no matter who is the nominee. McCain doesn't have the interest of democrats so a vote for him will essentially be a vote for no one since your concerns will no be address.

As a lot of people have said in this thread, its time to put down any animosity between the two camps and come together. It appears that Obama is going to get the nomination but if Hillary wants to continue her campaign, let her do so. In the end, we must unite and ensure that we get as many (quality) democrats elected as possible in November.

DEMOCRATS "08

Never vote obama!

I'm a Dem.voting for McCain period.

To Debby and Don't Believe the Polls: Clinton has been getting all kinds of good press from CNN the last few weeks. What show have you been watching? They've done everything to try and keep her in the race. It's all about the dollars. And how do you figure Hillary is getting robbed? This has been a fair election that didn't go her way. She thought it would be over on Super Tuesday and ran her campaign accordingly. When it didn't happen, she had no back up plan. If she had it wrapped up on Super Tues. do you honestly believe she'd give a hoot about Fla. or Mich.? What if the outcome of those 2 primaries would put her in some trouble against Obama. I guarantee she would have every hot shot lawyer in the country fighting to keep their results out. It's ludicrous to think her motives are ANYTHING but to benefit Hillary. I understand you want a woman for President and I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with Clinton as President. We don't need the most devisive person in politics in the White House.

To all OBAMA's supporters full of hate

We CLinton's supporters will not vote for Obama because we understand that Barack is an average and vulgar politician that has not achieved anything substantial in Illinois nor in Washington but painting himself like a new kind of politician he really isn't. He betrayed his pastor, his people, has divided the Democractic Party, his message of change is vague with no substance with not real platform for delivering his promise.

he will drive this country to caos

Vote for Hillary in November! Write on her name on the ballot!

Hey Mr./Ms. DON'T BELIEVE THIS POLL!!!!!!

Where in the world are you getting your "ideas" from? You really need to relax. This country right now is already tained dog food. The economy sucks, the american dollar isn't worth monopoly money, unemployment is high, healthcare is high, and people are losing their homes. At this point, I seriously doubt neither Hiliary or Obama could do anymore damage.

To All

Let pull together and Heal the party. This was a wonderful race it got so many people involved in the process. Let Rally around our party and uplift both Obama and Hillary!

Obama 08
Hillary 08

jmarie you don't know what you are talking about. Neither do most on this blog. A huge problem in America today – everyone thinks they know everything and these blogs give all the misinformed an outlet. It's clear to me, Americans are still as dumb and misinformed as they always have been. GW Bush in office two terms is a good example.

Democrats should be very concerned that so many Clinton supporters are saying they will never vote for him. They are not necessarily all racist, though some are. I realize we need a Democrat in the White House and more in the House and Senate, so I plan to vote for Obama in the fall if he's the nominee, which seems likely.

However, like others that posted here before me, I know many Democrats who are absolutely not going to vote for Obama. I am working on them and maybe by November they will have changed their minds. I hope so because without them, I'm afraid Obama won't win in my state of PA or in OH and a few others key states. The Democrats may have picked a loser.

Great! Now, can we end this and begin the work of appealing to those swing voters who are sick of this primary B.S. and sick of the Bush/McCain trainwreck?

We've got a country to save and an election to win. It's time for the loser lady to go take a nap in hubby's new library.

GO AWAY, HILLARY!

I wonder how Clinton plans to get the superdelegates to say that he's unelectable now.

CNN and the other media only report on polls that match their pre-conceived opinions. We'll see tonight when real voters actually vote ...what happens.

If Obama is the nominee...Clinton supporters will not riot in the streets. We will quietly vote in Novmeber for Senator McCain.

WOW! Impressive numbers. It's good to know that there are only a small select group of individuals while most Dems are beginning to rally around what appears to be our nominee.

I am happy to see our party finally coming together.

Obama '08

Obama still doesn't have my vote nor HALF of the Hillary supporters come November, IF he is the nominee.

McCain will be our next president if that is the case.

***Obama Rules!***

Up the meds!

It's time to settle behind our nominee. Let's face it, Obama won more states, more pledged delegates, and more votes (even including Michigan and Florida) if you count the caucus states. If you are a democrat, the only reason not to vote for Obama in the fall is if you are a racist. You can gussy it up all you like, but the policy position differences between Clinton and Obama are very small.

And how many Clinton supporters who are dissapointed will really want a Bush third term, and more supreme court justices that will overrule Roe v Wade and other progressive decisions.

Both are relatively inexperienced but have potential, both have had circumstances help them (Hillary would not be a contender if her husband hadn't been president before, and Obama's record is thin, he made it because he is the first nonthreatening black candidate with a real chance.)

Anyway it is time to face facts. Obama will be the Democratic nominee. And it is time to support him and stop the Bush third term!

obama pluscnn plus msnbc=dnc

Nobama is a loser. He will never beat McCain.

Hillary Clinton still thinks she can Offer Senator Obama to be her VP,, Second place in her mind means she actually in first place.

Their different rules if your last names are Bush or Clintons.......

Hillary, I thought you were our only hope, but I just can't stomach all the negative TV ads that you are running. If you're going to attack someone, attack Bush, not Barack. Geez. It seems clear to everyone that you are the candidate who always throws muck, and this I find hard to forgive. You are forcing me to support Barack.

These polls clearly indicate that Americans are focusing on November and they know Sen. Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

Sen. Obama has now changed the demographics across the board which clearly proves without a doubt that he can beat John McCain in November.

Americans need to rally behind Sen. Obama so we can focus on erasing 8 LONG YEARS of BUSH/McCAIN policies in the White House. We as a nation can't and won't survive another Bush term of 4 years with John McCain.

Don't let your EGOS dictate what the PRIMARY FOCUS of this race is all about. It's about putting a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT in the Oval Office!! Bottom line.

People need to stop with the ignorant "threats" and start putting their egos in check and let's get to work beating John McCain. We need to pull our resources together and show the Republicans that we are NOT going to be bullied anymore!!! We are not going to tolerate any more soldiers being killed in Iraq, we are not going to keep losing our homes because of the GREEDY POLITICS being played at the expense of the American families who have worked hard to support their families!!!

WE are NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY MORE BUSHMAN/McCAN policies that have ran this country right into the toilets!!!

NO WAY JOHN McCAIN IS GETTING INTO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

DON'T MAKE EXCUSES, TAKE A STAND AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

The party is finally coalecing around him , God Bless Barak , God bless the Clinton, God Bless America

And for the last time....Clinton will leave once the DNC meets on the 31St and after everyone has had a choice on June 3, 2007. She will not divide the party. I am glad she has given EVERYONE a chance to cast there vote and be in the process. Very close to June 4th we will have a united front moving forward.....Hiliary will help the Democrats win in a landslide!

I think the part should began to unite, I am sorry but HC cannot win, but to state that you would not vote for the other Democrat instead vote for the Republican is outrageous. Honestly, there are those who will not vote for Obama just because of his race, to those people I say they can be Republicans as well, right now we are witnessing the racial divide of the Democratic Party, I think we should get past this and think of OUR country no matter what race you are. If color precedes judgement then maybe you should move to a pred white country, with all white politicians, sexism was not a reason for Clinton's defeat egoism was, Obama was underestimated, the underdog and looked over.

I challenge you as democrats to give a logical reason why you would vote for McCain over Obama..........

Obama and HC supporters its time we kiss and make up or we will lose the elections and we will be the ones to blane.....

HRC is being extremely selfish by staying in the race. She has to know, mathematically, there is no way she can become the nominee. I was very open in the beginning. However, sided with Obama when Clinton started running such a negative campaign.

O-Bama
O-Eight
O-Yeah

Folks need to educate themselves with regards to polling. One of the first things to learn is the Law of Large Numbers. Second is sampling error.

These two are just basic stuff and the area becomes a forest quickly. However, these two will give you insight into the process.

In a democracy, particularly ours which is a representative form of democracy, education is essential. You do not have to spend a lot of time, Google will give you a good intro.....but you need to educate yourself.....but that could be asking to much of most.

Looks like two crooks who should be in jail !

A note to Gayle above... If you don't have anyone to vote for this primary season and general election season, just fake it and vote Obama!

He's the way to go.

Obama for President – Yes We Can!!!

I just cannot believe what CNN reports. I think it is not the people but CNN
that is going for election. They love to praise obama and put clinton down for event the smallest thing. Get lost CNN!!!!!!!!!!

To: "Clinton Supporter" – I often say honey when talking to people. It's a sign of affection, not a slight or insult. Come down off your pious high horse and move on with your life.

To: "DON'T BELIEVE THIS POLL!!!!!!" – Who's robbing who? Have you actually done any true research on your own? or are you another lackey just following the herd. Maybe you just like to spout off nonsense to hear yourself speak. Well good for you. No go crawl back under the rock you came out of.

To: All the supposed clinton supporters who say they will not vote for Obama in November. Fine. Go ahead and vote for the same crap we have had to deal with for the last 8 years... Vote for war. vote for making the poor poorer. vote for more of the same old same old. and while your at it.. go ahead and change parties. The dems don't want or need you. You are among the minority kids.

The democrats really need to come together on this. I just can't imagine any democrat voting for McCain in November – or writing in Hillary's name – that would doom our country to more of the same heartache from the past 7+ years. Do we really want to do that to ourselves?

I understand that some of you don't like Obama and the reasons vary -1) perceved lack of experience (can be overcome), 2) that he doesn't wear a flag pin (neither do I – former Marine and proud American), 3) he called someone sweetie (people call me that all the time when they don't know my name – or honey), 4) loose, loose, loose ties to Ayers (which Hillary has her own skeletons), 5) he knows how to speak intelligently (better than the dummy we have in office now), and 6) his wife made an misinterpreted statement (stupid, yes).

Seriously, if these are the reasons you won't vote for him, I just don't get it. Why? We cannot have McCain in office come 2009 – we just can't. You don't have to agree with everything Obama says, but he is the person that will give us real change. If Hillary had won the nomination, fine – I would support her as well. But she's asking the DNC to throw out the democratic process because it doesn't suit her needs – would she be saying the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot? I think not.

It's a sad time in America when people will vote outside of their party for a person who we know will lead us to heartache, just because they don't like the color of someone's skin (and yes, we should admit that's major reason why some people are so against the idea of Barack winning). It's rather sad.

Obama’s perspective on Iran is naïve. This is only one of many areas that shows his lack of experience. Yes, one can negotiate with American ermines, but you CAN NOT negotiate with evil! Plain and simple! The Bible explains this in great detail. It is apparent Obama and his misguided supporters just don’t understand this. And this in the end will be Americas down fall. Many Americans just can’t see or perhaps don’t want to see nor except what is happening right before our eyes.
The Iranian President believes he is the chosen one to usher in the Jihad. He believes his destiny is to create as much ciaos as possible before Jihad returns. And he will continue until his mission is complete.
Obama, does not have the experience, is not strong enough and does not understand what exactly is at stake here. A few of us Americans understand what is happening and we can see down the road to what will happen if Obama becomes President.
May God have mercy on all of us.

If Obama were white, Hillary's supporters would not be reluctant to vote for him in November. Why did Hillary take WVA, and why will she do well in Kentucky? Simple: There is a lot of racism in each of these states. It's about obama's skin color.

The only places Obama is losing big are in the deep south. The racial issue aside, the deep south never votes Democratic anyway, so big whoop.

Clinton Supporter May 20th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

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.

-----------------------–

You could at least bother to get the pet name right. It was "sweetie," not "honey." And you know darn well that the "N" word is a lot different than a pet name that is perfectly ordinary to many people. Don't play stupid.

Clinton does NOT speak for all women.
She is NOT a great example to women.
I do NOT like they way she has run her campaign.
And I would LOVE to have been able to vote for a woman NOT her!
And her female supporters are dragging all women down with their false claim of sexism – HC lost fair & square.
She had all the benefits any candidate could possible have – and she LOST!
Obama isn't trying to win the nominationby bribing Super Delegates, he doesn't have "fuzz" math, he isn't claiming to have won states he didn't win!
HC needs to get over herself and her ego and her supporters need to get over it too!
Let's move on and start building a better country for our kids – BEFORE its' too late!

Even though i am for Obama, he has no chance of winning in the fall

If Hillary is out, people will switch and vote to John Mccain instead of Barack "Hussain" obama reason atleast Mccain have enough past so we can judge him, I visited middle eastern countries for business and spoke to so many of them, believe me or not those guyz wants so badly Obama to be president, don’t you see a relation between not wearing flag, the middle name "Hussain", Farrkhan support, Hamas approval and middle eastern liking for Obama

People, please dont decide and vote based on race, think about how much you know about the person you are going to elect as president.

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

I wish somehow these folks could learn that Obama is not the cause of their beloved MI and FL votes not being counted. It was fraught with stupidity from the outset. It was NOT Clinton's fault, it was NOT Obama's fault. It was the fault of the State perty people who moved the primary date fully understanding the consequences.

Why is that so hard to understand? If you blame Obama for not readily agreeing to her proposal to give her all the votes since he wasn't on the ballot, well, then you're obviously beyond reasoning with.

I hope you realize that if they gave her the FL results as they came out, and gave her the 55% of the MI vote (and giving him the 40% "uncommitted") she will NOT lead in popular vote and would only gain about 62 delegates (the lead now is close to 200.) SHE CANNOT WIN. Why the bitterness to blame Obama for the States' error in judgment?

Many people writing comments seem to have no understanding of how a poll such as described in the story is conducted. Calls are generally random. A fixed set of questions are asked. This poll focused on those responding as Democrats or Democrat-leaning for the GE. Gallup usually conducts these polls using respondents from random locations throughout the United States, not in one state or only a handful of states. It's simply random.

The percentage of error (+/- 3 points in this case) is a calculated figure based purely on statistics. Now it's important to know exactly what questions were asked to be certain that the results are not skewed because of question-bias. I don't have the questions verbatim and doubt anyone posting does either.

Statistics are statistics. I'm more afraid of a shark attack than I am of dying in an automobile accident. That's irrational, and I know it. Just because I FEEL more scared of sharks does nothing to change the cold-hard statistics.

Any Clinton supporter willing to support McCain seems to be voting on nothing but personality because the two could not be further apart on policy. Myself, I'm a policy voter who will vote for Senator Clinton or Senator Obama come November. If it turns out that many Clinton-supporting Democrats defect to McCain and we're forced to go four more years w/the same policies this country will be more divided than ever.

Your vote helps to influence people's lives. I refuse to be petty, spiteful, or vengeful when it comes to making decisions of such importance and I wouldn't want to be in a political party full of people who are. If negative emotions propel McCain to victory the Democratic party might as well disband.

Obviously this poll is flawed. I'm still 100% against Obama and I'm a graduate student finishing up my PhD. Go figure!

Hillar supporters, if she does not get the nomination, please vote for John McCain... never for Obama.

Hillary or McCain 08!!

State by State Analysis:

http://a.abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/McCainClintonObama051608.pdf

Everyone click and read the map.

McCain will win!

Here we go again, with CNN editing comments that disagree with their agenda. I'll say it again; any idiot that can read an editorial map can see that Obama cannot win 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. We are actually the portion of the Democratic electorate who work and have families to rise. We care about what happens to our nation. We are not stuck in some Willy Wonka fantasy that has been woven by a con man. We will not support Obama as we do not believe in him and believe he will be a disaster. We are more concerned with the future of our children than we are in being part of a "movement."

That's good to hear the Gallup polls are favoring Obama. We can come to a close and unite the party.

Obama '08

Blue collar un-educated voters count. Many of you have relatives who fall in that category. Every vote counts and every state. I want to add that is fair to attack Michelle. If Obama doesn't like the heat you know what he has to do. When Bill was defending Hillary you all called him a racist. Si it's fair game attacking Michelle. Too many chauvinists in this country. they should learn from Argentina with a female Pres. It's all about sexism. I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt saying "Hillary you can cook for me but you can't be my President. What those women pro Obama have to say about it? Women are their worst enemy. Don't complain. This country is a male world.

Obama should definitely pick a woman VP - Claire McKaskill!

Was at the Nevada State Democratic Convention this weekend and the fact that it is over was evident in President Clinton's comments and his unification speach which was incredibly well received by the delegates. This one is done and we need to move on to the General and, as President Clinton said – don't forget why we have gone to all this trouble – it is to take back the whitehouse in November! So, President Obama it is! and thanks be to God!

I'm am an Obama supporter and even though I supported Hillary & Bill and voted for them I do forgive Hillary for playing the race card and saying and running the ads that she ran against Barack. I know that this was a hard fought campaign and the grand prize is the most powerful position of the land and the world in this country. All I got to say is you Hillary supporters who will not vote for Barack just think about Roe.v.Wade being over turned and your lives and daughters lives being turned up side down because you failed to put your differences aside from this campaign and chose to make an unwise decision in not supporting the demarcate nominee.

It is time for Clitn to bow out! Its over! Clinton is doing nothin more than damage the Demogratic Party. Extremly selfish!

At the end we all democrats and we need to come togetehr for the sake of the country. The issues are the same and handling will not much different.
At the end Obama will seek help from Bill and Hillary Clinton and both will join him

We, H.R. Clinton staunch supporters will back her all the way to the White House.

She is the only qualified future president, compared to empty promises of hope from Obama and same old, same old McCain.

The male chauvinists and some of the self-hatred females in the DNC party is very revealing.

The manner in which the DNC party and others deliberately and methodologically undermined H.R. Clinton, from the very beginning of her campaign, is unforgiveable.

We female supporters voted for Hillary because she is the best candidate and not simply because she is a woman.

She, nonetheless, is a brilliant substantial candidate who has excellent policies and solutions the hundred of problems that will be awaiting the next president in January 2009.

We support Clinton and not necessary the Democratic Party, most of us will change our affiliation to Independents, what the DNC and the behind the scenes money men, have done to Clinton will not go unpunished... A backlash will be experienced....

If Clinton does not get the nomination, Obama will not be able to win us over, as we said we are Clinton supporters’ not so much Democratic supporters….

I would love for the Clinton supporters to come aboard. If you simply don't like Obama then that's fine. But before you make your judgement, please do the research first. DO NOT let the media, garbage blogs like on the internet, or people so call "inform" about Obama. It is in our best interest as Democrats that we learn more about his policies and plan. Hiliary and Obama essentially have the same exact plan with a minor difference in Healthcare.

And for those who wish harm towards Obama's family need to get a life. I give credit to some West Virginians who admit that race plays a factor in their vote. At least they are adult enough to admit it, rather than hide behind their guilt and blame everyone else but themselves.

On a certain level I have to step back and look at what Hillary is doing and I can't help but see a desperate futility to continue run when the race is over! And her supporters? What of these women who feel so disenfranchised that they are calling for her to not quit? I find this so sad that a certain group of people refuse to accept the outcome of what is happening with regards to Barack Obama becoming the Democratic nominee over Hillary.

Hillary you have LIED, tried very hard to cheat (wanted to add Florida and Michigan when Barack wasn't even on the ballot in MI) and your refusal to accept defeat in a gracious manner does NOT make you look smart and persevering, but instead makes you LOOK LIKE A FOOL and an idiot!

Being a woman myself, I would have loved to see a woman as president, but early on I listened to Hillary and just didn't like what she was saying. Our country and planet are in places we should not be on so many levels. It is time to vote for change. Business as usual just isn't working right now.

GO HOME HILLARY AND GET SOME REST!!!!

To all you people who say you will not vote for Obama, I just want to ask a couple of questions.

1) Why? If your reason is because he is black, then you have a problem, not him

2) Did Obama beat up on Clinton when she was caught in her lies? No, not once. He did not pour salt into her wounds. The man has character that others did not display.

3) If hate is your motive, then he has more power over you than you know. There is so much hate being promoted in this election.

If you chose not to vote for him, there will be others who will stand in the gap for you, he will still win and you will not be a part of the biggest history in your life.

Who did they poll McCain?

This is BS and you know it!

WRITE HILLARY'S NAME ON THE BALLOT!

BARAK HUSSIEN OBAMA will never be the President of the United States of America!

Senator Clinton was a great and formidable candidate. But she lost and the game is over now. Please stop attacking her and focus on the opponent ahead.

Polls in a word...CRAP! The polls have been so WRONG throughout the whole process. I just read that Clinton has strong numbers in all of those groups. So who do we believe? I tell you who, NO ONE, especially the media who anointed Obama long ago, and YES CNN that includes you!

It's about time Democrats come together and support the candidate who has lead throughout the campaign. Go Obama! We do not need McCain as President and another of the same Bush years. Also McCain has too many ties with lobbyists and special interests which we need to get away from. This last week 5 of his top aides resigned after disclosures about their lobbying. McCain still stands by his Chief Adviser, Charlie Black, lobbyist, who worked for some of the world's worst dictators. Do your research for the facts on this and see the real McCain.

I'm white, college degree, 58, never made more than $55K and will soon be like that homeless woman sleeping in the car with my pets. Although a part of my feminist heart will die when Hillary is dragged kicking and screaming off the stage in Denver ( well, I hope it ends before then, and with dignity), I switched to Obama last year and nothing in the way Clinton ran her campaign made me question that decision. This poll can be dismissed or challenged like any poll – how many of us thought John Kerry was going to win in 2004? – but I think it shows all but the most fanatical Clinton supporters realize it is time for the party to unite. Hillary Clinton will vote for Obama in November and her supporters should take that as a sign to get over their hurt feelings and stand up for the party.

Go Obama!

So What is her argument now?
Time is running out Senator Clinton. Be prepared for the exit on June 3.Unless you want to hold on to the popular vote then you need to figure out how to include the Caucus states in the popular vote. I don't think the lead will be your way after that.

Headline in newspaper (Seattle PI)
Hanford Question Stumps Obama

Says it all. Apparently, Mr Obama knows NOTHING about THE NATION'S MOST CONTIMINATED NUCLEAR AREA!!

This is such a disgrace. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Obama is such a weak media created candidate, empty suit.

Thanks to all of the Hillary supporters that put America over their own personal feelings. We also welcome those who are sticking it out with Hillary til the end before u come over. We'll see u guys soon. Those of u who want to sabatoge this election outof spite and vote against your own personal interests, then shame on u. You have to live with that because we are all adults and I am not babysitting/begging u to do what's right for u and your children. Let's make 1 thing clear, I will vote Hillary over McCain anyday.

These polls change so much so fast that they are becoming a joke. They're starting to read like a gag from comedy:

"Did you know that 35% of the people did not vote as the other 65% did ? Even though 17% of the 35% knew that 30% of the 65% were wrong and that the other 18% of the 35% felt that the other 20% of the 65% were right in making the wrong choice? "

I rest my case.

I am a woman, white, highly educated, and over 60. Obama's message has led me to believe in American hope once again. McCain and Clinton would call me naive. I'm delighted to see the changes in the polls.

I would suggest that people educate themselves about sampling polls before saying they are meaningless.

Democrats unite!!

Obama 08 all the way to the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the only demographic still polling even between obama and clinton?

"Democrats whose education level is a high school diploma or less."

Proving yet again that Hillary's strongest support comes from dumb people. Easily fooled by her divisive politics and 37 different personalities.

the self centered clampetts from arkansas are doing all they can to keep obama out of the white house but i still think obama will be president. it bothers me from sniper fire to things we don't even know about and never will. PLEASE HELP BY GETTING OUT, YOU ARE JUST HURTING YOUR CAUSE MORE AND MORE.

Obama will never have support with this Clinton supporter.

OBAMA IS OUR CHOICE AND CLINTON SHOULD SAVE HERSELF FROM DISGRACE AND QUIT NOW. THIS IS NOT SEXISM BUT A MOVEMENT FOR REAL CHANGE.
GO DEM. GO OBAMA.

Let's see how the KY and OR results come out.

Do not make too much story based on a single picked poll.

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 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 democrats 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 still can not believe that America continues to buy into this idiot. I will work to make sure that this joker will never get the Presidency. Stop falling for the bull that Obama keeps shoveling America and look at his record for once. Both Clinton and McCain show a better track record of getting things done and crossing party lines than this arrogant want-a-be. He has all of you fooled and America will suffer gravely becuase of it.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for giving your support to Senator Obama even though you were prefer Senator Clinton. I prefer Senator Obama, but if Senator Clinton were to get the nomination, I would give her my support. The Democrats have to unite, American has to unite and then maybe the healing of all the damage the Bush administration has done can begin.

I really really don't like the tactics and reasoning of some Clinton supporters. Clinton quoted Karl Rove recently saying he believed she would be the stronger candidate. Clinton has consistently quoted polls when they were in her favor e.g. Obama's support is weakening among hard working white people, polls show that I'm better against McCain etc..

Why all the double standard and hate? Why can't we unite for the sake of the future of this country? You'd rather vote for McCain over Obama????

Obama and Clinton's policies are 95% the same. McCain is completely different so that means your decision will be based on pure hatred, stupidity and racism. Hope you can explain that to your kids when they're 30 and the country is dead.

In latest footage, Hillary looks totally worn out; as if she's heading for a breakdown or wipe out. It's obvious to me she'll continue to do and say anything if only to convince herself. Like Cinderella's sister, forcing her feet into shoes that DO NOT FIT. She's good for the party, there's no doubt about that. But not to lead the country.

Meantime, Obama is cool, calm and collected. He's poised he's made immense statements and is the deal the country has been waiting for.

That's the style America needs both at home and abroad. Steel backbone under a calm and determined surface. Peace and weapons do NOT go together. Proven recipe. Negotiation rather than demolition and obliteration (Clinton word, ehem) of perceived international threats.

Surely the wise can see that negotiation may just be better ammunition as opposed to 100 000 young men and women, armed to the hilt and facing war

Go Obama.

If anyone bothers to look at the voting profile (not the primary selection profile) for the actual swing states, it paints a clear picture that in the only election that matters (November) Obama will lose by a significant margin to McCain. Oh well

McCain in '08
Clinton in '12

If it does end up Obama vs. McCain, CNN, please don't forget to include a question in your general election exit poll asking if McCain voters would have voted for Clinton instead.

Obama supporters...when Obama loses, don't blame the Clinton's for his loss....just "turn the page".

Hmmm, funny this is coming from CNN.... they'll say or do anything to get Oprahma elected. Its so blatantly BIASED. It's actually quite amusing. Especially during their morning news cast, when they'll just randomly have those late night clips of the tlak show hosts doing Hillary jokes. AMAZING.

The sleepers have awakened......And just in time. Thank you America for realizing that the one true candidate is honest, has integrity, and is only interested in uniting the country as a whole. Something sorely missing is quite sometime. That he is African American, or more correctly multicultural, is the best testament yet to the true nature and potential for our great nation.

Go Obama 2008
Yes We Will

The media and the DNC have both been guilty of the old cliche', if you tell the same LIE over and OVER, everyone will believe it ! All the"Judas" keep falling over in the pursuit of unity. It's all crap, and the Democractic Party will once again goof up by taking the nomination away from Hillary Clinton. The popular vote will go for McCain instead of Obama if Hillary does't get the nomination. The tragedy is that she is the most qualified and also has the most resources.

Senator Clinton THANK YOU for preping Senator Obama for the tough fight ahead. We are going to unite despite what has been said. How do you plan to bow out? It's too late for gracious.

VP... Wexler from NY, Edwards, Richardson...

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 08

Of course Democrats are rallying behind their nominee. With the exception of the 200 or so Clinton Crybabies on these CNN forums, democrats recognize that there are multiple Supreme Court justice appointments and Roe vs Wade to consider ,should a Republican take the White House this time.

As for all you people whining about Hillary and how you are not supporting Obama – power to you. Go waste your vote like an idiot. You'll certainly show us! 200 votes make no difference.

where do you get your news? you seem bitter. post some facts why don't ya. just because you leave your CAPS on, doesn't make your posts relevant.

Thank you Sen. Clinton Supporters!! Let's take back the White House and begin to heal our nation.

Prayers and Blessing to Sen. Edward Kennedy and his family.

I still can't believe after all these primaries, that people still are finding a way to blame Obama for MI and FL, and accuse the country of sexism, as if that's the reason hillary isn't winnig.
She isn't winning because she did not plan past Super Tuesday.
She isn't winning because she discounted the caucus states
She isn't winning because she lied to America (Bosnia)
She isn't winning because she hasn't had a consistent message.
She isn't winning because she counts on people's ignorance (gas tax holiday)
She isn't winning because she cannot run an effective campaign (she's over 20 million in debt)
She isn't winning because she's played by the rebublican hand book, but against her opponent in her own party
She isn't winning because she and her team keep moving the goal posts to her advantage
She isn't winning because she herself said Obama too, was/is electable and both of them could beat McCain in the GE
She isn't winning because she didn't try as hard in the beginning because she came into this race with her name, money, husband, clout etc....NOW, she says she's fighting for the American people because she has to, because she's behind.

Also, a question to hillary supporters....why is it that hillary only brought up MI and FL AFTER she was behind? She agreed in the fall and signed papers with everyone else stating that if they moved their primaries, their delegates wouldn't count. She wasn't fighting for them in the fall, in jan, or feb, not until after Obama's 11 state winning streak. One other thing i don't understand, Why do people vote for someone promising a gas tax holiday, when they know it's not gonna happen? I'm understanding from the pundits, it's the idea of it. So does that mean hillary is just telling people what they want to hear, even though the economists say it won't help, and some of these people are saying "yeah, she understands us". So some people like being lied to? I don't get it.

How can we trust her to pull out of Iraq when she can't even pull out of this race? She lost this race over a month ago. Lets move on.

We need to get back to fighting the real fight, and that is to defeat the GOP in November.

give her one more hillbilly win in Kentucky and then never ever bother us again and please take care of bubbas' needs so he can stay at home.

I don't believe it. Most women I know are mad at the party and the media for giving him a free ride. We feel we have been ignored and that our votes don't count. CNN and MSNBC, NBC have portrayed an image of him like a celebrity. We need someone to lead, not a Hollywood actor. Most of us aren't planning to vote for him. Have you visited the website HillaryClinton.com? I don't think so. You are very biased. You have daughters too. It's why I am fighting for Hillary and disgusted withe media and DNC. I rather vote for McCain because at least I know him. I only watch foxnews now.

Polls, polls, polls! They are NEVER accurate. They are only an inkling, and definitely NOT a true outcome.

I think polls are mainly used to influence and lead voters - hoping that whoever is declared to be leading in the polls will attract the most votes.
Monkey see, monkey do!

I would someday like to see an election where not a single poll is taken.
Then people would REALLY vote their own mind.

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.

It's time to stop giving McSame a free ride. Democrats unite!!!! We will give McBush the wompin they both deserve!!!!

Dem 08!!!!

I can understand people's grief that their candidate of choice doesn't become the nominee and they want to leave the democrat fold to vote for McCain. Personally, my loyalty is not to a political party but to the best candidate. Part of the reason I do not vote Republican is because I believe the NeoCons have a stranglehold on the Republican party, and I resent everything they stand for (corporate power, shear materialism, money before lives).

A large Democrat majority with control of the House and Senate will eventually devolve into a gaggle of corrupt officials just like the empty-suited Republicans that were in control before. Politicians have learned to milk the system for personal gain above all else, regardless of party, and corporations key into that to maintain the status quo so they can keep growing their bottom line for themselves and shareholders. They don't care who is in power as long as they can manipulate them for personal gain.

I don't want to be cynical, but in the end, our next president may not make a huge difference in the way things are in our country. However, out of the bunch of candidates, Obama is absolutely the best choice to try. He doesn't have the baggage of Clinton (a history of scandals, a credibility and integrity perception problem) or McCain (Bush and the NeoCon machine/policies). Obama's weaknesses pale in comparison to those of the other two. And he wants to work on the roots of the problems that exist, and not just band-aid issues: personal responsibility, honesty, and accountability. I just hope he is as sincere and transparent in office as he has tried to be during his campaign.

I like her fight but I really hate when she gets on stage and bluntly lies. I do not mind her demanding Florida and Michigan to be counted or somehow included. However, until the rule is changed she has to abide by the rule. At this stage of the game throwing out words that are more divisive does not help the party. She does not have more popular vote. That is lie. Even if she has, it does not mean a thing. Al Gore would have been president if popular vote were the determining factor. You do not change the rule of the game after the game is played. If she feels strong about popular vote, she has to start another campaign to change the rules. I total support her on that. It will be simple if one vote and simple majority is the rule then we do not need mathematicians to figure out who the winner is. There has to be a point when she just has to admit that it is over without making fuss about rules that does not exist. I would say the same if Obama is whining about the rules too.

jmarie wrote, "media has not been s e x i s t ..."

which planet are you from?

I never got a chance to say this in other recent threads, but it is a fallacy to suggest that the ability of a candidate to win certain states in the primary campaign against an opponent in the same party, is somehow an indication of which states that candidate will win or lose in the general election against the other party's nominee. Obama vs. McCain is a completely different ballgame than Obama vs. Hillary, with a much wider, and more independent pool of voters. There are just too many other variables and counterexamples.

Counterexamples:
Hillary lost states such as Illinois, D.C., Iowa, Hawaii, Minnesota, and Vermont to Obama, and will lose Oregon. Does that mean they will certainly go red in the fall? No, of course not.
McCain lost plenty of states to Romney and Huckabee before securing the nomination, including Iowa, Wyoming, Nevada, Maine, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Montana, North Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Kansas, and Lousiana. Does that mean they'll go blue for sure, and the Democratic nominee doesn't even have to bother campaigning in those states? Hardly. If the Democratic nominee doesn't bother, then it's a concession to McCain.
And what are we supposed to expect of states that both parties' nominees lost in the primaries? Or maybe we just wig out because our brains can't handle the conundrum!

If you're going to apply this argument, you have to apply it equally to all the candidates. And unless you are deliberately ignoring the obvious, you can see that the argument fails when it is carried to its logical conclusion. Sorry, but the "I have 300 electoral votes and he only has 217" claim is a bunch of baloney.

Matthews and Olberman might as well wear Obama T-shirts during their respective shows. I no longer watch MSNBC and rarely watch NBC. For balance, I watch CNN and FOX.
I'll wait to read the typical hateful and childish responses to this story that the Obamites are sure to post, as they always do. Maybe when mommy and daddy are no longer paying the bills, they will move out into the real world and learn some respect.

This is election is bigger than gender. This country needs to change. We need to pull together.

All of you who will abandon the Democratic party if your candidate is not selected are probably responsible for the 2nd Bush term. So a 3rd Bush term will do you just fine. But...when you lose your house, your job, your son or daughter in a war that was base on a lie, you only have yourself to blame.

Obama/Clinton... Obama/anybody...just no 3rd Bush term.

Great News BUT let's not get too confortable or cocky, there's a lot of work to still be done.
YES WE CAN

The worst Hillary acts – the better for Obama!

This is a good sign that the democrats will come together and rally
behind the candidate that won the primary fair and square. I believe
that the republicans who are disguised as democrats who will vote for
McCain are the negative bloggers who have been constantly trying to
divide democrats. No true democrat will vote for the other team just
because their player didn't win.

Democrats 08!

Kiddies fell for a shiny new toy. American Idol for President. Do you use one of his studdering, halting interviews as a ring tone? Everyone not backing him gets attacked and accused of being stupid W-T, racist etc. Anyone stating they will write in Clinton or vote McCain is called posers who are not really democrates. Well kiddies, believe what you will, follow your shiny star and learn the hard way came November. DNC corrupt, deserve to lose, again. Just couldn't stand the thought of a woman president, could you. All the undermining, back stabbing, backroom deals and heavy handed tactics, have done nothing but cost you yet another election.

As a Hillary supporter, looks like my vote will go to McCain, if Obama gets in. Would rather have 4 more years of Bush like policy then have a president that wants to sit down and talk with terrorist. The only thing terrorist understand is force.

Let's cut the nonsense gang.

If Obama is the Democratic pick, and you vote for McCain just to spite him....

... then you are sending America's children to their deaths overseas. Their blood will be on your hands.

And that's all there is.

Democrat 2008.

I am always amazed at the ignorance of people. Look, I'm an independent who will vote Democrat this election regardless of who the candidate is and/or was. I understand the emotional attraction that people have for either Obama or Clinton, but do we not have a greater responsibility to this great nation of ours, then to let our emotions ruin this country even more than it is right now. To vote Republican for any reason is bad enough this time around (I voted for Bush in 2000 & Kerry in 2004), but to vote Republican just out of pure spite and hate for the Democratic candidate because your choice lost is about the most ignorant thing I've ever head or witnessed.

A few months back I found myself thinking the same thing, that if the Super Delegates overturned the will of the people in either case (Clinton or Obama), I would be upset and vote Republican. After taking a moment to step back and realize that that is/was not the correct answer. I came to the realization that my county, your country is more important than that. I have worn the uniform for this county (USMC), I have given myself to this country and I refuse to allow you ignorant people to be so stupid as to harm my country by voting or not voting because you are a sore loser (and a loser in life for thinking this way). Grow up people, life doesn't always go your way, get over it.

It looks as though Barak Obama will be the Democratic candidate for President and Hillary gave a good fight and in the end lost fair and square by the rules that they both agreed to last year when this primary season kicked off. So, at this point it is not important who between the two but what is important is that we fundamentally change the direction we are going in this country and the ONLY way to accomplish this is to vote DEMOCRAT in November, no matter who it is. Bottom line, if Mickey freakin Mouse was/is the Democratic candidate for president in November.....YOU VOTE FOR MICKEY!

Grow up people and put your country first for once since its selfishness that got us in this mess in the first place!

When this is all said and done I hope that all Democrats can come together with one common goal of giving the Republicans the worst loss in their history. No matter who the nominee is the difference between the two candidates pales in comparison to the Republicans.

What do you expect at this time when every media outlet and print media has written her off. Of course, at this time you will see skewed polls favoring Obama.

Go Hillary!!!!

DON'T BELIEVE THIS POLL!!!!!!
------
i'm with you on that one, 100%
it is downright pitiful how people have prostituted themselves to put obama in the oval office.......... this and others are blatenlty pititful. would be funny if not for the seriousness of it all.

FRED & SHARON MN- 103 DELEGATES TO WIN

So let me get this straight, your are listening and supporting a women who has been a millionare for over 2 decades and YOU can relate to her? A woman who has not pumped her own gas, driven a car, went to the grocery store, did her own laundry, made dinner for her family and didn't have an accountant to pay all her bills since the early 90's...AND YOU RELATE TO HER!?

gayle, at least you arent gonna vote for mccain, for that I have a great deal of respect for you.

Women Election means so much for you’ll to have a first women president this will help with women’s rights in so many issues. If you don’t support Hillary you’ll are taking a step backward this may be the only opportune of ones in a life time for many women.

Looking forward to seeing and hearing Obama's Train Rolling Over Mc Same!

Go Obama!

We don't need polls – we have the facts!

For those who will vote for Mc Same – go ahead!

Before the war in Iraq – a barrel of oil cost $25.00-- it's now $125.00 and climbing! Go ahead and add five more years in Iraq – if you have a job – you will be walking to work! Also – considering how much Mc Same is getting from Lobbyists – what will your take home pay be like in 5-years!

Oh...Rember Obama bashed Clinton for not campaigning in the SMALLER states?

So what does he do? Doesn't go campaign in KY or WV...or PR...he is a big hypocrite, and I will never vote for him! We already have one inexperienced hypocrite in the White House now...don't need another.

Read Richard Cohen in RCP
Comment by Misogyny Run Wild. He lists 50 lies by Ob.

Clinton supporter ,Obama actually said sweetie (not honey) something I & many others (male & female) use totally innocuosly.
@ least he's not using cigars like someone we all know & love.

Hillary, you've put up a good fight, but your job as a politician is apparently in some other position.

For those of you who reluctantly support Obama due to circumstance, your support is greatly appreciated. Now let's take back our government!

Obama is gaining because:

1) People are tired of seeing democrats running against each other
2) People want to see an end to this primary and concentrate on general election
3) people are tired of Clinton

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

try to imagine a country where the government is honest and transparent, where the president tells the people the truth or at least what he knows or believes to be true. Imagine a country where the president tell you the real reasons why he makes decisions we may not agree with.

just imagine being informed instead of manipulated.

Hillary is not going anywhere. Obama will be sworn into office and she'll still be campaigning. People should just ignore her...she's a non-issue at this point.

We have more important matters to tend to and we don't have time to worry about the ramblings of one delusional woman.

odd how when clinton is racking up her biggest wins now the national polls are repoting just the opposite?! It doesnt take a statistical genius to understand this polling is useless....

"Christine V from Dallas, TX May 20th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

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!"

you're beating a dead horse. a vote for mccain is a slap in the face for hillary.

It's just a matter of time!!!!! Let's unite!!!!!

Obama 08/12!

I'm 29, college educated, make 6K per month, Black, and male... Guess who I'm voting for:)

Now if i was a Hillary supporter I would say polls schmolls. unless of course they would favor her in which case they mean everything and the superdelegates should abide by them.

CNN please report the random poll that you are reporting and find something positive to say in it about Obama....you have to keep pushing whatever BS you can that persuades people to vote for OBAMA. Very disappointed in CNN and have stopped watching months ago. STOP THE MEDIA BIAS!

How quickly we forget it wasn't not too long ago Obama belittled Hillary by calling her "likeable enough" during the New Hampshire debate. Then he went on and said in the Ohio debate that he doesn't "whine" which hinted Hillary does. And most recently, he tried to belittle Hillary again by doing that "brushing her off his shoulder" thing and calling a female reporter "sweetie". HILLARY '08

We can all see the writing is on the wall

My grown daughter agrees with me in that Hillary is NOT a role model for women. She has NO morals. She's only out for herself. I don't know of anyone who is going to or who have voted for her.

Hillary would not win in November.
People won't forget what she's done and how she behaved.

BOTTOM LINE IN ALL OF THIS?
McCain is clearly our next president.........WHY?

No matter what obama wins he needs the majority of HRC's supporters to get him in the White House and he wont get it... ever!
that is where the rubber meets the road. he can spar with Clinton on delegates, popular votes, whatever, but despite the additional numbers of newly registered democrats it is still not enough to put him over the top and he coupled with his wife and supporters have alienated far too many of Clinton's supporters with personla insultsand the like – - not to mention that obama is not capable of the presidency....

Michelle's newly ADMIRATION of HRC comes a tad too late. She prepared a speech and stood in the front of thousands and blasted a first lady with insults that were not only un-called for but totally un-necessary..... Michelle could have made an effective without going ballistic on HRC, and it has cost her.... now she realizes the only way to cross the threshold of that White House Door is by way of HRC AND HER LOYAL SUPPORTERS.... AND it just wont happen.

What do you expect with the media pushing Hillary out of the race, it is clear anyone would drop in numbers if the media kept on saying they had no chance and it is over for Hillary.

Media is once again picking our next president.

All of you Obamzombies that are simpering on about uniting the party might as well just be quiet and realize that there are many of us Democrats who despise you and your candidate and will do anything we can to see you defeated in November. Better a Republican than Obama and his cult of disciples. If the shoe were on the other foot, given the makeup of Obama’s core supporters, there would be rioting in the streets rather than talk of party unification. Get over it. We hate you as much as you hate us and there will be no unification.

To ‘TRUE’ democratic Clinton Supporters: To those of you who are true democrats who will support the democratic nominee Obama, we thank you and welcome you aboard. Sen. Clinton waged a tenacious fight and she is to be commended. The following is NOT directed towards you.

To All ‘OTHER’ Clinton Supporters: For those of you who say you will vote for McCain before you ever support our DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE Obama, please reconsider…

If not – Turn around, Exit quietly and Turn the lights off after you leave. WE WILL NOT NEED YOU. Obama has a 50 state voter registration drive where thousands have been registered already, thus making up the difference of you turn-coats. We also have plenty of disaffected Republicans as well. Peace OUT.

Obama ’08 no doubt.

Gayle ~

Why don't you like him?

The absolute funniest and most stupid staements are those Hillarynuts who keep asking that if Obama is the winner why hasn't he closed the deal. What stupidity! Remember when this all started Hillary was the odds on favorite with all the political support of the Demnocratic party and all the fat cat and lobby support and money. Then Obama comes out of nowhere and starts beating the crap of the Clinton dynasty and political strategy of angry James "Bulldog" Carville. Clinton was the favorite and lead through Super Tuesday where she was to put Obama away. Wrong! Hillary is the one that wants to get her Hillarynuts to donate more money to pay off her debt before she throws the towel that is why she is dragging it out.. The problem is her Hillarynuts aren't bright enough to figure that out. "The party's over" sings the fat lady to the fat lady in pants' suits.

This is great news I have been praying and hoping for unity within our party. This gives me some hope that's happening. We had great choices this time around but it is time for us to rally around the nominee, in this case clearly Obama. Let's give the Republican's hell.

which leads me to believe that all the people on this site who swear they are hillary supporters who will vote for McCain over Obama, are actually McCain supporters who are dropping the suggestion to the Hillary supporters to vote McCain – appealing to their sense of spite.

"jr. May 20th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

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

When did you hear Obama ask Hilary to get out? Thats about as silly as saying that Obama is suppressing the vote in FL and MI. He has no say in either matter.

Hillary will decide when she leaves the race and the DNC will decide how to seat the FL and MI delegates.

Lets keep our eye on the prize which is getting the country back on the right track.

This survey is full of inconsistent information. The pollsters are making the case as if to support their own conclusion. The questions must have been framed in such a way that this result was derived. I am certain that the polling sample is bias.

I love it how CNN goes BONKERS over 1 poll and tries to act like the Dalia Lama of Cable News predicting some kind of siesmic shift.

Get over it –it's 1 poll.

Hillary has her base, just like No-bama has his.

OREGON

CLINTON

DO NOT agree with the poller....it not true at all.....poller only the people have Internet so, what's about those people not using Internet their still
have their voice and their voting too. Whatever their say Hillary still stronger in general election but the reason is those men just don't like a
women to have power only. If your guy don't like Hillary your guy going to
make same mistake like 2000 and 2004. The game just start to harm
Obama now and I don't think he going to handle it because Republican is
not stupid party at all, look what's party got more President elected?

Clinton is wrong on all counts:

Obama won the popular vote
Obama won more Blue states
Obama won more Red states
Obama won states that mattered
Obama won states that "didn't matter"
Obama won the number of pledged delegates
Obama won the number of superdelegates
Obama is resoundingly more electable!!!

Obama has outcampaigned Clinton!!

The fat lady has sung... weeks ago...
Time to listen up!

It's still Clinton or nothing. Deal.

At this time in our histroy all americans need to come togather we need to new leadership. America, we can not talke four more years of Cowboy deplomacy.

is that the sound of rolling thunder, or just the sinking sound of something righteous going under?

Good bye Hillary. Don't let the door hit your pant suit on the way out......

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 to be Commander-in-Chief. The American people just DON'T WANT her as their next President, despite what women think or want. I mean Jesus, women are acting like Sen. Clinton is the ONLY woman in the world worthy to run for President!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I reject your reality and substitue my own

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!

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.

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

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!!!!

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.

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

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

Obama 2008

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 !!!

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.

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.

A Democrat in the White House 08!

(preferably Obama)

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.

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!

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.

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....

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

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

nate May 20th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

U-ROCK OBAMA 08'/12' !!!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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
anyway go
Obama 08

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.

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

Cue the:

"He can't win in November!!"

and

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

in 5.....4.....3.....2.....1......

"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.

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

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.

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

christine v needs a sedative

CNN please DON'T LIE

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.

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

Yes We Can!

Been listening to rush limplips Joseph Johnson?

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

CNN IS PRO OBAMABOTS

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

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!!!!!

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.

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

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.

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

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!!!

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!!!!!

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

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

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.

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

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

This information is only usefull untill it changes next month

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!

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

Obama '08

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!

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

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

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!

UNITE DEMOCRATS!!!!!

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

DEMOCRATS IN 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.

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

CNN
Finally you realized that Obama will be the president.

Anyway thanks for posting this news

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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?

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....

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

there's a change a comin'

Go boy. Obama, please make this real.

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

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???

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I KNEW PEOPLE WOULD COME TO THEIR SENSES!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Hillary, put on some makeup!

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Finally the party is uniting! Lets go people.

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!

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

Including myself.

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

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!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

OBAMA 08.....here we come!

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

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

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!

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!

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)

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.

yay!

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

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

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

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

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.

END OF STORY.........................

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

Yes we will!!
Obama '08

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, 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!

Go Obama!

All the wayto the White HOuse.

YES WE CAN in 2008

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.

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.

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.

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?”
