Clinton won Kentucky?…so what .. she can have the whole state… this is too late too little….. and just to make suer we are clear: we have no VP position available for her either.

Wide margin? 56% of the vote (according to your website as I type this).

All the pundits and polls said she was supposed to win by 80%.

What happened?

Maybe the folks in Kentucky are smarter than we thought….

Anything less than a blowout is a loss for Clinton.

It's the Electoral College, stupid!

That's what this election is about and nothing else!

It's about who can win OH, PA, and FL!….. Not only can Hillary win these 3 most impt states, but Obama CANNOT! The DEMOCRATIC voters in these states have rejected his candidacy!

Can your analysts discuss the exit poll results to the quesiton regarding was race an important factor in your voite. As with West Virginia 20% of White voters voting for Clinton say it was important. This seems to be a significant factor that impacts results in that region of the country. Whereas you don't seem to see a similar result in states with many White voters in the West. Education level and income does not seem as disparate in Kentucky as it was in West Virginia.

Obama's chicken came home to roost. Yep apple don't fall far from the tree in this case.

Fer(aro) out!

Obama got the pantsuits beat off of him.

Go back to your 18 month Senate job "sweetie".

And she's whining about sexism. It couldn't possibly be that it's about race. No surprise. Got another WV here. No surprise.

Clinton won Kentucky by actually being a qualified candidate.

HRC has a proven track record and works well with Republicans.

Her platform is superior to Obama's in every way.

She actually HAS positions on the issues and plans for the challenges.

Obama is ahead due to DNC corruption, media bias and unfair election practices this primary season.

Clinton has been shafted and Obama has been adored. Still he barely leads- with all the bandwagon and celebrity support.

The headline should read: How Obama lost against John McCain in spite of the overwhelming media support.

well well well
what do we expect from uneducated ,rural ,gun totting,racist folk?
of course
but it doesnt change anything
barrack is the next president

yeeehaw!

I'm sure Hillary will be glad to see that the racist, I mean good, people of Kentucky took time away from having relations with their family members to vote against the black candidate…oops I mean "for her".

Race, period!!!!

People want Hillary Clinton as President, if she is not allowed under the democratic ticket she should run as an Independent party. She will win.

Interesting…I was just watching the live stream on CNN of Hillary's KY headquarters as they gather for her speech later and I saw that same guy with the boxing gloves come, as people to move, and sit just to the right of the podium (to the right as we see it on TV). He has been spotted in several of her crowds, once carrying a bowling pin.

Hillary won this state because she lied and pandered the uneducated voters for a holiday gas tax.. Like that was oging to happen this summer or under the Bush administration.. Give me a break..

How about the one woman saying "a woman's place is in the home.. that's what the bible says".. OMG…

Backwoods voters for a backwoods candidate..

I am glad Oregon will even the playing field for the rest of us voters……

Yes…We..Can…

One of the main reasons people in Kentucky voted for Hillary was becasue of Rev. Wright? Congratulations Hillary, you're dominating the ignorant white person vote. Awesome. (and in case anyone is wondering, yes I am white) Hey Kentucky, feel free to acutally have a relevant issue to give as a reason for choosing to vote for someone.

wow
hilary must be happy with her "huge" win
this woman has managed to take america back 60 years in terms of discrimination based on race,sex and education.
thats a huge win to me

Has anyone else noticed that Obama's train seems to be running out of steam?? He was winning like crazy 2-3 months ago, and now it seems like he's either getting trounced by Clinton or if he wins, it's by a much smaller margin.
I'm thinking the voters' infatuation with him may have run its course. That means he is REALLY vulnerable come November if he is the party's nominee.
And I continue to suspect that the Republicans & the Karl Rove machine have something serious on him that they're just itching to drop on us come about September or October. I REALLY am beginning to think he isn't electable come November.
So do we take our chances with him and risk having McCain win in November, or do we go with Clinton who we KNOW can beat McCain.

It's a given..Clinton is more popular with less educated and Obama is more popular with the educated.
It tells us that we need more education in this country.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative attitude seen on these pages toward Clinton, it would appear that substantial numbers of Americans find her the preferable candidate. I have a feeling this is another democratic suicide year. Nominate the feel good candidate and get slammed back to reality in the general election with a staggering loss.

Jack, I think "rejected" is much too harsh of a word. Lets not forget that a senator from West VA just endorsed Obama. I believe (let's hope not foolishly) that the party will be united in the fall… … … as long as the losing candidate supports the winner whole heartedly.

She was the white choice.

Duhhh!!

No wonder the dems are abandoning obama so fast, look at the sick things his supporters post, are these some of the 4000 bloggers that he is paying for.

OK… after this, all Clinton supporters should shut up. The media has widely celebrated Clinton's last victories. There hasn't been a bias in the media this whole time. There just hasn't been anything good to say about Clinton which comes as no surprise to me.

Bill, why in the5-people panel do you have 2 OBAMA SUPPORTERS. You should be more fair to Hillary Clinton.

Kentucky is just another racist, low-life state which HRC feeds on. People in other states, with higher IQs have consistently voted for the better candidate - not HRC.

hellary,
you are the most evil manipulative vindictve woamn in the world
she has ruined politics for other woman
first she cries
then its the delegates that count
then its the super delegates
then its the popular vote
then its the large states
now its karl rove
crazy witch

Joe Black, where did you come up with that idiotic number of 80%? I have never read or heard that anywhere. Maybe you're just making stuff up. Seems like the Obama supporters have a talent for fabrication like that.

The reality of it and I hate to say it's the pink elephant in the room

You know, those that argue that the Reps need to energize the party may be just in luck. Why??? It seems to me the people that are voting against McCain have all the energy they need to vote……I'm more surprised with the Rep results than the Dems……..is pretty interesting.

Maybe she gave out free springer tickets at the door if they would vote for her.

racists?

Even with the 60% to 40% win of Clinton in Kentucky, the 40% gives Obama 20 delegates to reach the magic number of delegates needed to declare VICTORY in this primary. BYE BYE HILLARY!!!

Okay, why didn't she WIN this BIG earlier in the race and WHERE is her super delegate endorsements? None, nada..

Hummmm, wonder why. Could it be because she's more of a LIABILITY than anything else. Who ever bets on a losing horse? On a losing team?

Clinton's win in Kentucky is a mute issue, the race has already ended weeks ago and she's LOST. She's not going to win Idaho and S. Dakota and Montana, so whose fooling who here?

So what about that Edwards endorsement LOL

FYI - This black man that voted for Hillary (in Atlanta) will NOT vote for OBAMA. Even though I am a Democrat, it does not make me less of one if i choose to be an AMERICAN first and vote on issues.

If Hillay does not win the Democratic nom, to appease all of you Obama supporters who resort to name calling cause I am doing what I believe is the right thing, I will pull out of the Democratic convention and register as an Independent and vote McCain.

Unlike most of you, I have been a Democrat all of my life and not just "for the first time in my life." I follow the issues.

I also find Donna Brazille to be disingenuous. As a Superdelegate of her caliber, she should go ahead and declare her endorsement of Obama (which we know she supports) and stop patronizing Hillary.

arkansas,west virgina,and kentucky don't like men!!!they are sexists!!! go obama '08

I cannot believe so many voters can be misled by Clintons at this stage of the game.

And I though WV was the Hill-Billy state! Hill-ar-yous!!

Obama '08!!!

Polls don't close until 11:00 pm. CNN really should hold off until everyone gets to vote.

Having said that, Hillary will likely win Kentucky because she is a strong, qualified candidate for President.

Obama will win the nomination because he is a stronger, better qualified candidate for President.

You ask how she won Kentucky….let me see

1. Uneducated
2. Hillbilly (her namesake)
3.Bitter
4.Gun totters
5.Whiskey drinkers (Moonshine)

And the list goes on and on……EEEHAAA

And this is news how? LOL Come on CNN. I'm waiting to see the spin for tomorrow when Clinton is beat down in Oregon AND Obama secures the majority of pledged delegates. NOW that's gonna be news. Hahahaha

Why is no one talking about Clinton disenfranchising voters with her "I'm ahead in the popular vote" arguement? She is discounting caucus states and all of those voters!!!! I'm glad to count Florida and Michigan, but this argument of hers is hypocritical!

ha ha ha
this is such a "huge" win
if hillary is the better,stronfer,more qualified candidate
i wonder why
1.she is behind in pledged delegates
2.she is behind in super delegates
3.she is behind in the popular vote
4.she is behind in the states won
5'she is behind in likely nominee polls
6.she is broke
7.she is still losing
why,hellary,why?
please tell us

Thanks Kentucky!!!

How Clinton Won Kentucky? Simple, white, uneducated , low information voters who can't see past skin. Same demographic as WV, don't know why everyone is suprised. No matter who the president is in 4 years if you re-visit these towns, these folks will be in the same circumstances, no job, foreclosed homes, waiting for the government to save them with a gas holiday and a stimulus check. All the while blaming their problems on the blacks and the illegals, because they are too lazy to get off their duffs and do for self.
As my mom always said you point one finger at someone, there are 3 pointing back at you.

How is it possible that when Mr. Obama won in North Carolina with a high black turnout that the blacks who voted for him were racist? What do you call the whites in West Virginia and Kentucky? Can you say double standard! It is sad when we look at color as opposed to a person who can change our lives.

"Uneducated, rural, gun toting, racist folk" This is not a correct portrayl of Kentucky or it's voters! I am an educated, rural, anti-gun, nonracist woman who supports the next President of the United States–Hillary Clinton! Please think before you post such prejudiced comments about Kentuckians!

Wow. Looks like you guys have pretty much summed up the "how" Clinton won. It was her call to arms to all racists idiots in the United States "less educated, blue-collar, hard working, white americans want me". Of course they do, you moron. THEY ARE RACISTS!! And, too stupid to see that HRC is using their ignorance against them. They'd rather be lost with a white person than have an ounce of hope with a black person (50/50 black/white person). Ignorance truly is bliss.

I have to admit that I do get a little sad seeing how some places are just racist for no reason at all. It's hard for me to feel sorry for them when their farms fail and they have no jobs or money. I feel bad, because I genuinely get happy knowing they suffer more than metro areas.

Just goes to show the majority of the country that folks in West Virginia don't read. How could anyone vote for an individual who is nothing more than a common criminal and has lied her way through her political career.

carrie, Jessica, keep those comments coming.

Wouldn't it be ironic if your candidate loses the general election because of bigoted comments from supporters you? (A good possibility).

You pride yourself in being so "open-minded" and educated enough to vote for Obama, but do you realize that you have become exactly what you hate? How does it feel?

I know people from Kentucky, and race is a factor in almost everything in their lives. They are very nice people, but race is very important to them, so race is definitely a factor in this state, and possibly others.

I say again - if most Obama supporters would vote for Clinton if push comes to shove, then they *aren't* sexist. If most Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama, then one has to consider the possibility that they are racist.

In other words, while you can't prove someone is a racist or sexist by how they vote, you can prove who *isn't* - and it appears that there are more proven non-sexists than there are non-racists, statements by Clinton and Ferraro notwithstanding (of course, nobody ever said they are making *rational* arguments).

What is interesting is that the Obama crowd is calling people names for voting for Hillary.

Look, Obama was a dominating force until people got to know who he was. He can only win in ultra liberal states that will vote Democrat anyways.

The DNC gave the White House to McCain.

We should all just accept it.

. . . Too bad it wasn't by the 75% needed to put a dent in Senator Obama's lead.

THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY ARE NOT RACISTS!!!!!!

ANYTIME THAT OBAMA LOSES A STATE YOU CRY RACISM!!!!!

VERY CONVENIENT, BUT GETTING OLD!!!!!

HILLARY WON BECAUSE SHE IS BETTER THAN OBAMA PERIOD!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!!

I didn't realize Kentuckians were so open minded when it comes to gender! The rest of the country, well, they're all sexist.

Obama supporters:

HRC supporters will protest the way Hillary Clinton has been treated by her party and the Media. We do not like rigged and fixed elections. We believe in the right of all citizens to cast a ballot. We reject the media and the DNC installing their American idol.

We believe all people are equal and have the right to vote for the candidate of their informed choice. We do not support the DNC ruling to disenfranchise states, and we oppose the strong-arm tactics used at caucus. Actually we recognize the caucus format to NOT be truly representative of the will of the people.

As you all NOW claim- her platform is similar to Obama's. So why all the vitriol? Why the Hillary hate? Why the sabotage? Why the vulgar and insulting posts denigrating HRC and her supporters?

In reality, HRC is the far better candidate. She has far reaching appeal to the majority. Obama alienates everyone but the radical left wing. He also panders constantly and can't define his own positions without waffling and hedging.

So any HRC supporter who votes for McCain, is NOT voting FOR McCain- but AGAINST Obama. Obama represents the corruption of the democratic party. Clinton is the one that was sacrificed to benefit Obama.

I will actually WRITE CLINTON'S Name in.

When the GOP releases the Michelle Obmama "whitey tape from Rev. Wright's church, it will be all over for Obama and McCain will win.

So in other words… if he hadn't written off the state and actually did something to try to counter the gossip storyline that he somehow shares the whacked out views of his pastor (or is a Muslim, or unpatriotic, etc), he might have narrowed the gap significantly?

I'm an Obama supporter. But I think it was incredibly stupid of him to just shrug his shoulders and let go of Kentucky and West Virginia. He could have worked at closing the gap. It's exactly these types of voters he will need to work hardest at trying to swing his way. At the very least he could have tested some of the strategies he will be trying to employ to do just that in the general.

The first step to convincing people that he isn't Reverend Wright is to talk to them… over and over, until they finally hear him and not what the crap they get in their email boxes tells them.

Hillary has her work cut out for her undoing some of this damage if she does indeed lose. I am not laying all of the blame on her, but I think she is a big part of it. She's nodded and smiled at all of this crap and has lent some level of respectability to it by playing it all up on her side. This isn't the way to play the game within your own party.

My understanding is that the demographics are a better fit for Clinton than Obama and Obama didn't really campaign in Kentucky. He will earn or be very close to earning the majority of pledged delegates from those he wins in Kentucky. Oregon will put him over the top. It's time for Clinton and her supporters to unite behind Obama as the party's nominee.

I don't understand something. Let's say McCain wins president, and democrats end up winning control of Senate/House and have enough to over ride any McCain vetoes. Will somebody up there in pundit fill ask their panelists that question - weak or strong administration? Would democrats still get to push through their agenda in such a scenario? I don't hear anyone in punditville even touching that question..

Great Hillary. Now you can win. When you do PLEASE pardon me like Billy did all those Puerto Rican terrorists and the Jewish extremists in NY…just so you could be elected.

Just lie to the people and you can win. Please then get me out of jail…I am forcing inmates to contribute to the general election.

I need you to win so I can buy your pardon. Just like Billy did with your brother…oh I mean brothers.

If only I knew then what I know now…you're a Hump Hillary.

THIS TYPICAL WHITE PERSON THINKS IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU KENTUCKY!!!!!!!

Another tainted victory based on racism and dirty campaigning. There are bigger fish to fry tonight, far bigger than Kentucky.

Yay…Miss Irrelevant strikes again….So, she will win Kentucky, and in the big picture that changes what exactly??? This just needs to be over already, whomever the nominee ends up being. I can't believe the time and money wasted on this so far….Only in America.

For those advancing the LATEST case for hillary……

(the electoral college argument)…

That is general election…

This is the primary season…

You cannot score the super bowl until you have won the playoffs…

PLEASE!!! obama supporters,stop insulting Hillary clinton and her supporters. Blue collar voters support her, while we more afluent educated voters support obama. None the less, her support group is integral to our victory in November. Be nice, let her finish so that we can unite as a party. DO NOT INSULT our future VICE PRESIDENT CLINTON!

That does not change the math. It was expected. Obama did good with whites in some states and bad in Others. So what?
He will win the nomination and the general without the W.V and Kentuckey.
With Obama is not politics as usual cause his electoral map for winning the general election won't b as same as usual. Those people will not vote for a black candidate that is why i agree with Obama skipping these two states. They are just pure rascist.

Guess Oregan is to close to call.

There goes CNN again trying to influence the vote with biased reporting on the Kentucky results. Kentucky is not representative of the electorate as a whole. The state is 90-95% white and there are no metropolitan areas. CNN and Clinton may think that results will or should make a difference in the contest are delusional.

she cheated!!!!

It is clear to me what the difference is, the states West of the Mississippi or more progressive and educated. A lot states on the on the east side of the Mississippi still live in the past never fully understanding those who live around them. They stay locked up in there homes always afraid of those who are different.

Obama has a good chance to win every state West of the Mississippi with the exception of Arizona McCain’s home state. Obama is well loved out here in the West we always look into a mans heart and see his soul . That is how the West was won we always look ahead. We do not have all the problems you have on the east side of the Mississippi, we always look forward instead of backwards.

The hate and racism you have handed down from generation to generation in the East and the south does not play well out hear in Gods Country. We are not perfect out hear butt we will give a man a honest hearing before we hang them. In the south and in the east you like to hang people 1st before you the real story.

Where is the sexist part in all of this Mrs. Clinton?

Iam sure the KY folks are positive americans who will support thier a democratic in fall IF ONLY Clinton is out of sight.Her appearances and her toungue is gonna mislead alot of elderly democrats especially uneducated.The earlier she is out of sight and forgotten the better.

Where are the exit polls from Oregon? Why are all your articles about Kentucky?

goodbye hillary
june 3rd is just around
goodbye

According to the exit polls, the final margin should be 65-30, and that's pretty much a blow-out.
The news sites in KY are showing much more up-to-date numbers and she's showing a wide margin.

It would be hillarious if Oregon surprises the pundits.

As for too little, too late, that's what people keep saying as she keeps winning primaries by LARGE margins. maybe it's not too little and it's not too late at all. Nobody has the magic number and NEITHER candidate can win without superdelegates. Maybe this will be enough to pull some of those from Obama's column back to where they belong along with those who haven't committed yet.

If you ever been to kentucky. you know why she won.

Well the GOP come to KY every 4 years and talk about gun and religion issues and the DEM say why bother.

You asked for it, ,,,,, You got it Kentucky.

Continue to be the backwards state that you are

She won because the Democrats want her.

She is the best Canidate to be nominee.

She is the best to be President.

Do people in Kentucky take pride in perpetuating the stereotype of a biased, uneducated and small-minded folk? That many people who believe Obama shares the most controversial views with Reverend Wright probably also still believe Senator Obama is Muslim and that he is Black (News Flash: He is of mixed race). Why are we continually expected to believe that a state with such a small number of delegates speaks for the majority of us? Way to spin it, CNN.

I'll tell you how Clinton won Kentucky. All of these racists in rural Kentucky just like in West Virginia have said openly that they will not vote for a black man. Hilary played this race card to the ultimate level AND some others tried to use the excuse about his Rev. Wright connection but in reality, white racist couldn't handle the same type of racism they that subjected the African-Americans to for years. Calling blacks the "n…g" word as often as possible, calling them spooks and saying they are not intellingent and how they should go back to Africa.

It was the white people who took the African-Americans from their homes in Africa and made them slaves for DECADES. You think these racist can face the fact that now these same people they treated like dirt and considered them inferior want to see one as a President. Hell, they didn't even want the slave to learn how to READ!!!!!

Staunch Obama supporter here, and congratulations on your victory Senator Clinton. Kentucky does count.

Remember, We the People, need a Democrat in November!!

True democrats want the voters to decide who the party nominee is.

We get touchy when the media forces their favorite down our throats while bashing and throttling the other - better- candidate.

We find that unfairness and bias in press coverage offensive.

That turns us off to the great Obama.

The DNC has also offended our sense of freedom and honesty and fair play. They swiftboated their best candidate to advance their glitzy one. Most Americans don't vote on looks- but on issues.

We will rally around the candidate that we know is BEST, but is getting pummeled and shafted by the media and the DNC.

Go Hiily join your twin sister Ferrari and form a loser's team

I would like to know if race was a factor in people's decision today. Kentucky is still considered part of the good ole' South and some people will never get over losing the Civil War.

It is time to stop slamming Hillary and convince her supporters to fall behind Obama. He is clearly going to be the nominee, and the choice in November is four more years of Bush's failed policies or we vote for Obama.

Please keep in mind that wealth in America is moving to the top 1% dramatically during the republican regime. In 2000, the top 1% had about 15% of the nation's wealth. In 2005 they had almost 20%. In contrast the bottom 50% of Americans had 16% in 2000, they now have 11%. Is this the country you want? Is this what America is supposed to be about?

We need to reclaim this country, and the only wasy to do that is to oust the republicans from EVERY seat, not just the White House, and we need the Hillary supporters to do that. Our country, and freedom and our lifestyle is on the line. Stop the name calling and lets join together to get a new direction in this country before it is too late!!!!

The Important thing is to have a Democrat in the White House.
I actually think this division thing is something pushed by the media. Everyone I know that is a Democrat, and some are Hillary supporters others Obama, would always smartly vote for a Democrat in the fall.
To do otherwise, is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

she won kentucky because they are racist,
its only in america that a governor will come out and say the peopple in his state will never vote for a black man.(ed rendell of pennsylvania)

i feel sorry for america

Hillary Clinton should be seen rounding up.Even if she wins the remaining states she will never be close to the American Cutie.
Sweet Obama.Election is all about Super Deligates.
Barrak Obama is our next President.
Go Obamaa!!!!

Do the math! Why are we still making this a race, Clinton will not have the nomination and if she does how do you think the rest of the states would feel about voiting. OUR VOTES COUNT EVEN IF WE DON'T LIVE IN W. VIRGINIA OR KENTUCKY.

Plus Obama can win those states if Hillary drops out of the race. Hillary supportes may think she is making it hard for him but she is making it hard for the party to win in the fall.

That because white worker witout educations are "bitter".Obama already said that.

Clinton won by 10% inspiration, and 90% perspiration. 0% brains.

Clinton wins Kentucky…..so what?

Is there really any surprise here?

OBAMA IS AHEAD, HAS BEEN AHEAD, and WILL STAY AHEAD.

My guess is that CNN will focus on Oregon as Obama not winning by enough just to keep the negative campaign against him going.

Why will not CNN acknowledge the positives with Obama? Rather, ANYTHING Clinton says or does (legitimate, truthful, or otherwise as it is in most cases) is pounced on immediately and she is given the benefit of the doubt.

This network are dupes and stooges for Clinton. Always have been.

And, is it just me or is Terry McAuliffe becoming Baghdad Bob?

I think Clinton has a problem winning the black vote.
No democratic president has ever been elected without the black vote.
On the other hand "white hard working americans" always vote republican.
Bill Clinton won the presidency twice without the "white hard working americans"

I am not sure why folks are so taken up by this indepth analysis, for Kentucky. The electoral college puts this state out for democrats, that's why no democrat really campaign here, it is a republican state and will go that way, (winner takes all), so Hillary beats Obama 100% - 0%, means nothing, because McCain will win KY in the general election against ANY democrat. Clinton is pushing KY becasue that's all she's got left. For that same reason if you're from TX and a democrat that hates Obama, rant and rave all you want, TX is a red state and not on the victory plan for the democratic nominee, so sell your house and donate it to McCain, quit your job and campaign for him all over TX, it means nothing to the presidential election. Your voting voice ends with the primary election. Same goes for a Republican from NY or CA that hates McCain.

Is Obama having a white problem or is he just having problem with white in some states?

Just another example of uneducated white voters who go with the famous name of Clinton. It is sad that they and others in states like them hold on to racist attitudes instead of listening to the message of Obama for Change.

"Voters get a little prickly if you say race" drove their choice…. They'll say "it's more that we're concerned about his church ties or his lack of military experience or that he seems so young and untested." Those may be socially acceptable ways of saying they're "uncomfortable" with a black candidate.
Politico. "Five things to watch in Kentucky". 5/20/08.

when obama gets 92% of the black vote is it because of his race?

This argument about the electoral college is arrogant and elitist. Thinking that ONLY CLINTON can carry these states for the democrats is BS.

Clinton cannot show she will win this campaing, so all she can do is say she will win the future. Which, of course, is also BS.

HERE IS WHAT COUNT 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 AND HE WILL WIN OR ,MT AND SD, AND THAT WILL GIVE HIM THE 2026 SO DO THE MATH IT IS OVER FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting that this was a "closed" primary and Senator Clinton handily defeated Senator Obama again. So much for Senator Obama's "operation chaos" theory.

The Wright polls show a correlation, not a cause for this voting. Yes it gives people who won't vote for Obama a more legitimate sounding reason than other ones, but these people would have found something else to justify there voting if this issue had never come up (flag pin, being muslim, Michelle wasn't proud of America, etc). Sad….

I've heard other network analysts explain that the exit poll answers to the questions about race may be explained by the results were seeing in regions of the country that have a historical tradition of racial tension. Whereas, in the West where we have a small African American population, there is also not as significant historical racial tension.

When 20% of White voters consider race when they vote for Hilary that is a significant indicator of how much work has yet to be done in certain regions of this country with respect to race. This speaks to the importance and leadership that Obama provided in his speech on race.

She is just trying to Nurse her wounds.
The Sexism issue wont help either.
Go Obama

Ever since we came to know more about BO, since the Wright and "bitter" episodes broke late March, HRC has won much more votes, pledged delegates and states than he has. A clear indication of his unelectability come November. The DNC will ignore this glaring fact at its peril.
Surely, the over 200 superdelegates who have refused to be swayed by the media hype that this race is over, are thinking like the voters in KY, WV, PA and even IN where HRC came from behind to win. BO will only continue to win in states where there are large African American populations.

I'm so tired of hearing or reading all these analysts use figures like - 34% of working white, or 28% of educated white or 54% of suburban voters, etc, etc. Why don't they just say 75% of racists in Kentucky voted for Hillary, while 25% of the intelligent people voted for Barack….That's OK, he'll prevail in Oregon as well as in November! Go Obama!

You know I have a big question for someone to answer. How many Republicans switched their party to vote for Clinton in Ohio, Penna, WVa, and other states so that she could have a landslide? It sure would be interesting if a news channel would let everyone know that. The reason these people are saying they will vote for McCain is because they are Republican.

Shea Ohio your an idiot.

Well, there's another state Obama doesn't have to worry about during the general election campaign. Gotta look for the silver lining.
