CNN

Listening to Hillary speak about her recent victories provokes one to wonder just how unhinged from reality she is. Whether you support her or Obama or McCain or someone else, the facts just don't match with the hype she spouts.

Reading comments on here indicates that some of her supporters are living in the same fantasy land. She's not ahead in the popular vote. Nor are any rights being infringed by sticking to the decision to penalize Florida and Michigan for holding their primaries prior to a certain date. It might be politically wise to find a way to include them, but there are no issues of infringed rights involved. And to suggest secession... I don't think I need to comment on just how seriously out of touch that is...

No to Hillie-Billies!

Carolina Girl- Unfortunately the Democratic Nomination is NOT won by who has the most votes, it is won by Delegates. Now I know all the Hillary supporters say this is not right or fair, but the Democratic party has been doing this for over a century this way and before this year no one has complained about it.....sorry.

70 DELEGATES TO WIN for Obama.

I am getting tired of the whinning & crying of both Hillary supporters & Obama's, saying "If Obama is the nominee I won't vote or I'll vote republican", or the other way around. That is STUPID, have you learned nothing from the last 8 years. Our country's Foreign Policy & Domestic & Economic policies are a JOKE, very very SAD, and McCain doesn't seem like he's going to make any drastic changes.
I'm an independent, and I can't vote for the republican nominee, not if he's going to continue this failed policies, I've had enough from the last 8 years.
I also live in Florida, and I am smart enough to understand that it was the Republican State Officials that changed the primary dates, knowing what the concequences were, it wasn't Hillary, it wasn't Barack, it wasn't the DNC that did that, so people, please, stop acting, thinking, and talking STUPID.

Do Hillary supporters understand that there are no constitution rights to vote in primaries? A political party can pick they're candidate any way they want. If the DNC wants to say 'forget the voters lets put in John Edwards' they can do that.

Your Constitutional right to vote applies to the general election in November. That is where your voice must be heard.

That said MI and FA will be seated somehow, neither candidate has a problem with that (despite what Hillary likes to imply).

Obama will be the nominee because he will win the contest under the rules the DNC and candidates all agreed to fair and square. Play with the numbers all you like but its really irrelevant. Nobody i getting screwed over, Hillary simply lost.

As an independent in Florida that thought about registering as a democrat to vote for Obama, I did not because there was no reason to do so because of the rules. I however voted that day because there was a major amendment on the ballot dealing with property taxes. I imagine that most voters in Florida voted that day because of that issue which makes the Florida vote as suspect as the Michigan vote.

IF HILLARY DOESN'T WIN, IF SHE DOESN'T GET ALL THE DELEGATES EVER, WE SHOULD ALL MOVE TO FL AND MI AND SUCCEED LIKE CAROLINA GIRL SAYS! WE'RE NOT TRICKED BY OBAMA'S KINDNESS AND WARM HEART, OR OPENMINDEDNESS, NOOOOO. WE PREFER OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO RUN FINANCIALLY SOUR CAMPAIGNS.

AMERICA DIVIDED! YES! WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY SO MUCH, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS HRC!!!!

HRC FOR QUEEN!

DEMOCRATS PREFER OBAMA BY 20%, BUT HILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE?

WITHOOUT COUNTING THE CAUCUS STATES? ALL WON BY OBAMA.

GO TO HELL HILLARY, AND TAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS WITH YOU, YOU KNOW THOSE DITTO HEADS VOTING FOR YOU.

Obama LOST last night. His victory in Oregon is weak, and Oregon does not represent the democratic party. The media is wrong. Obama can not win by claiming a majority of delegates..thats not how it works. The story is the same for both..niether can win the nomination based on pledged delegates.

Obama worked hard to block re-votes in Florida and Michigan because his team knows a Hillary victory( another one) would de-rail his so-called momentum. People who actually watch this race, see that Obama's lopsided wins are in states that will not give him the White House. Hillary is clearly the stronger candidate and she continues to prove she carries more of the real democrats.

Hillary has worked for this nomination, and after all the votes are counted, she should be our nominee..

Now that the Dems got Hillary out of the way and have their candidate, now we'll see what HE is made of.

Whatever Hilary is fighting for – the ref has gone home. If she is trying to be VP – she cannot be trusted and I will do Obama a favor and not vote if she is on his ticket. I will vote for Ralph Nader.
I would like to see CNN post this.

Clinton is playing the GORE ticket. Gore had the gumption not to go that far as Hill has gone. Does Billary want to count the chads as well.

Florida and Michigan's votes should count and their delegates should be seated at the DNC in August. Now the interesting thing will be how the committee figures out Michigan, since Obama wasn't on the ballot??? What's fair is fair across the board, and not only when it favors one candidate. I have a great deal of respect for Hilary, and thinks that she should stay in the race until the final vote is cast this primary season. P.S. As an independent, I am still voting democrat this election year, no matter who the nominee, which looks like it very well will be Sen. Obama. Remember, a house divided is a house that can not stand, you DEMS NEED TO UNITE AND QUICK!!!

Obama or Hilary '08

Yes we can and yes you will be the candidate of choice to face the republicans.
By the grace of God we will overcome and the dream will come true

Carolina girl, your comments are silly. Hilliary agreed to the rules. You obviously choose to ignore that fact. Following your logic, they should secede right now because Clinton, Edwards, and Obama all chose to be selected by "48" states. You can't count Michigan because his name wasn't on the ballot. And that doesn't even include the thousands of people who did not vote because they knew the election would not count. They will be seated at the convention- just in a way that enforces the right of the DNC to determine primary rules.

Grow up.

Hillary Clinton keeps struggling on for the same reason those
drivers in all the high-speed chases we see on TV.

Everybody in the world knows how they're going to end, including
the driver. Only question is, is it going to be a horrible wreck, or
just pulling over and stopping.

But as long as they keep driving, they're still not arrested. But
the minute they stop, it's handcuffed and off to jail. Everybody
knows that.

But, yet, we keep watching them, glued to the TV screen.

Just like we're watching Hillary's own personal high-speed chase.

Everybody in the world knows how it's going to end, including her.

It's just a matter of time...

It is likely that the DNC will see that the votes from Michigan and Florida should count. That being said, Obama is still some 260+ delegates shy off the finish line, not just 70! I say this because Hillary Clinton is a far more qualified and deserving nominee, bar none! Oregon, why couldn't you see that? I will honestly be crushed if the nomination goes to Obama and will feel too much like a traitor to support him. If he gets the nomination, I will be voting for John McCain.

Carolina girl....I agree with you but you forgot to mention that when Hilary says she wants "all" votes counted she is leaving out the fact that she refuses to count the caucus votes that Obama has won. If we want fairness..let's atleast demand it across the board.

Is it true that we should condone cheating, and then change the rules to make cheating not cheating?

I think not. Honor has got to be in our collective vocabulary once again. ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ....

yes we can

You guys reading the other posts....omg...I think they believe it...

lets re-cap...

The DNC took the votes away from Michigan and Florida...NOT OBAMA – omg...pick up a newspaper

Obama didn't campaign in Florida – (when you make something up...its called rhetoric)

(I will ask...but there will never be an answer) – for those who say Hillary or McCain – what positions do you support Hillary on....i.e. why are you voting for her? McCain and Clinton don't share similar positions on anything....so....my guess....you voted on gender...and want to send a (poor) message that you didn't get your way...again...try picking up a newspaper to see where the candidate stand on certain positions

On surpressing the Florida and Michigan votes....he was not on the ballot (as Clinton was the only candidate on in Michigan) – and nobody campaigned in either...so...how fair was it to have Clinton run on her husbands name...and garner votes....in lieu of another election – which isn't going to happen – there is no fair way to split the delegates....agree....(or still angry)?

Congratulations to the American people for this great excercise of democracy. Obama deserves this win against all odds for a black man to have in this county. He needs to stick to his message of change and talking to our enemies before we bomb them

I think Florida should be seated with a penalty. You have to have the penalty because rules were broken. Michigan is another story. How can you seat them when Obama wasn't on the ballad? If you can't revote then you haven't got much of an option.

"...then FLA and MI should SECEDE from the nation..." -Carolina girl

Come on now, this is silly. I believe they should be counted in some way also, but this isn't a logical suggestion.

I am thoroughly convinced now that people have lost their minds over all this.

I have followed the Clintons since the late 80's and I really think she wants one of three things.
One: VP slot (not going to happen)
Two: Senate Majority Leader (Might happen)
Three: President in 2012 (Can't happen)

Clintons are anything if they are not arrogant, but this last one is so off the mark.

If Obama wins in November, Clinton is ancient history in 2012, and by 2016 no one will remember the 90’s.

If Obama looses in November, Clinton will get the blame from about 50% of Democrats under the age of 60. Most of whom will not want to see her with the nomination in 2012. The name Hillary will still have a “bitter” taste their mouth.

Senator Obama only needs 65 more delegates. It has been a hard fought battle, but this is coming to the end. He will win fair and square and that numbers prove that he has earned the nomination. Time for all to work together to heal the party.

Obama 08

Clinton #1 in voters requiring additional literacy funding....

Obama #1 in voters who know how to read....

So you are saying tha Mi was truly heard. And their votes should be counted. And no one would have voted for Obama even thoug Hillary only receive 50% of the vote running against noone. Yet you taught having the popular vote.

Well I have an Idea that is very fair. Let's have an Obama only Primary in Michigan where only his name is on the Ballot and give his supporters a chance to vote. Now clinton with FL and Mi without the caucus is only ahead by 150000. Let's see if Obama generate more votes than that.

That's what I thought. It is not about fairness it's about Hillary.

I'm an Obama supporter & i've been angry with Hillary all this time.BUT i'm a woman.and its amazing how this woman stood up &
how strong & courageous she is..now the race is coming to an end and i feel so sorry for her..HATS OFF for the Woman in HILLARY !

First, please note that I was trying to post this in the below article entitled "Obama still struggles with some Democrats"–but once again, CNN has closed that article for comments. However, I'd referenced this article just above it, so I'll instead place it here:

I applaud this article ("Obama still struggles with some Democrats") for at least highlighting with its title something that is not resoundingly positive for Obama—as most of the other headlines you have placed continue to do. That is, just above this article was a story with the title “Analysis: Clinton scores a win, Obama nears finish line” and below it entitled “Obama, Clinton supporters both say Clinton attacking unfairly” where comments were quickly cut off. Although I realize this comment will likely die in moderation as every other comment I’ve tried to post, I’d like to know why even in this article, though, you only highlight the same meme the main street media has been willing to push, which is that Barack did not fare well with white voters in KY (and thereby continue keeping race at the forefront of this election). What about the fact that Hillary soundly beat Barack in the college-educated vote (she won across EVERY education demographic, not just the uneducated as you try to present), as well as in the higher-income brackets (she won across ALL income brackets, not just the poor population as you try to present), as well as with those who consider themselves Liberal (the latte-drinks you’re so fond of saying support Barack)? In fact, the ONLY demographic Barack beat in, just as in WV last week, was the African American vote. I used to come to CNN and MSNBC for what I thought was the most unbiased reporting. However, it seems only Lou Dobbs is truly unbiased and willing to call it like it is. Your news station has lost an insurmountable amount of credibility during this election cycle.

MR. OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. WHAT BOTHERS US IS ALL THIS TALK THAT HRC IS MAKING ABOUT BEING MORE ELECTABLE. LIKE WE SAY HERE IN THE SOUTH -- PEOPLE LONG ON NOISE USUALLY ARE SHORT ON ACTIONS. HRC HAVE BROUGHT UP EVERYTHING TO BE THE DEOM. CANDIDATE BUT SHORT ON ACTIONS TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE. NOW DON'T GET US WRONG, THERE ARE SOME IN OUR COUNTRY THAT WOULD RATHER BE CALLED UN-EDUCATED THAN BITTER. THAT THE STRANGE IRONY OF HER CLAIMS BASIC SUPPORT. IF GIVEN THE CHOICE CALL US BITTER.

just want to remind everybody how the Dem. Primary process goes. And it has been this ways for many, many years. The people in each state vote. Each state has a number of delegates that are seated. At the end of the process or until there's only one nominee left (most people drop out due to costs), the delegate count is what determines who the candidate is. Now this popular vote method that Hillary is trying to use is a general election count. SHe knew these rules when she went in. Her own husband went by these rules. She knows the process very well. You don't change rules in the middle of an election. This chaos would happen in every election if she is allowed to do it. Just like every state will break the rules if FL and MI are fully counted. Personally I'll be glad when the DNC gets sick of tiptoeing around her, respecting her, giving her space. I'll be glad when these 2 weeks are over and all of the primaries done so that Obama will be declared the winner, with the delegates giving him the points he needs to reach 2026, and we can get on with the general. Hillary has taken women to the next step of having a female President , along with the other female Presidential nominees. But she hasn't by the rules won this one. I salute all of the female nominees who have paved the way.

Those who keep saying I will vote McCain if Hillary doesnt win will be going against every issue Hillary also has. Obama and Clinton are similar on issues just different on going about them.. I wish you guys and gals would just STAY HOME!

Also, this racizm and sexsizm is only there if you see it when you look in the mirror. We are approaching the 21st century and as I see it we are all americans.

The divide of this party currently seems to be a mess and I am not sure if I believe Clinton will change her tune to help unite the party. I also dont see her as VP due to the fact she is the opposite of the message of change and being a heartbeat away, she would not be the morals and belief I want to instil in my children. The debt of her campaign as well as the past lies and her husbands presidency all work against her for the VP.

Obama 08/09

To the Clintonites:

GIVE ME A BREAK. She blew her chance, ran a terrible campaign, and lost to a stronger candidate that the majority of Democrats voted for and support. No amount of whining about the media, about race, about gender, about delegates, about process, about Florida and Michigan, about "important states", about "electability", or about "fairness" will change that. She's acting like a spoiled child. She ran such a terrible campaign that she lost to a freshman no-name Senator from Illinois who has been on the national scene for about 5 minutes. 56% of the country thinks she lies and is untrustworthy. Her and Bill have played the raced card over and over and lost themselves 95% of black supporters.

HOW STRONG COULD SHE POSSIBLY BE IN A GENERAL ELECTION? She can't even run her nomination campaign in HER OWN PARTY.

Carolina girl, that's the dumbest thing I've heard all week. Go read the constitution sometime and tell me about the part where the states have authority over the party to determine when they get to vote. There's nothing that says there even has to be a primary.

Wow....Clinton supporters are such sore losers!!!!!! It wasn't a big secret what the consequence would be for having their (Michigan & Florida) primaries early....

Obama 08!!!!!

We must unite as a country and make it "cool" to be a thinking electorate!!

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

nuff said

Hillary agreed publicly on more than one occasion that Florida and Michigan delegates would not be seated. That's when she thought she had things locked up. Now she changes her tune and reneges on her pledge and you support her.

Furthermore, after a bad loss in South Carolina she goes to Florida the day of the primary, even though she shouldn't have as per the agreement not to campaign there. She got lots of TV exposure for this trip where as Obama didn't. He wasn't on the ticket in Michigan because he tried taking the high road, a road not familiar to Bill and Hillary.

It Barack Obama had campaigned in Florida and Michigan the vote would have been very close, hence, the reason for going 50-50 on seating half the Florida and Mich delegates at the convention. It's the only fair way to do this.

I would never ever vote for Hillary. WHY?

All she does is lie.
She stayed with a man who cheated on her with many many women. Bill had NO respect or love for Hillary yet she stayed with him for her own political gains. NO MORALS
All she does is lie.
She's run the most negitive campaign in history.
All she does is lie.
She can't manage her own campaign let alone a country.
Did I mention she lies?
She Failed the people of New York as a senator. The state lost thousands and thousands of jobs.
Nafta
The war in Iraq
My god, the list goes on and on.
Again, the lies !
She has divided the democratics more than anyone else.
She is destroying the party, so very selfish.

She can't be trusted to be a president. There's no way she would win in November.
The people won't forget what harm she's done

VENUS

WHAT KIND OF AMERICAN ARE YOU?

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS OURSELVES AND WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT POLITICAL FALSE SPEECHES WITH THE INTENTION OF PROVIDING A FALSE PROTRAY OF A VULGAR AND AVERAGE POLITICIAN THAT IS WHAT OBAMA IS AN AVERAGE POLITICIAN AS HIS PASTOR CORRECTLY NAMED HIM BEFORE OBAA BETRAYED HIM. SO IF OBAMA BETRAYED HIS PASTOR SOMEONE THAT HE SAID WAS LIKE FAMILY TO HIM JUST BECUASE THE PASTOR SAID THAT OBAMA ACTED LIKE A REGULAR POLITICIAN WHAT IS OBAMA GOING TO DO THO THIS COUNTRY? I CAN EASILY SEE IT... HE WILL WALK US TOWARDS DISTRUCTION

Go Hillary, down with Obama.

The superdelagates have decided. Obama is the nominee. Hillary supporters who threaten to vote McCain out of spite and anger are not considering what is best for this country. Voting should be rational and thoughtful, not rash.

READ THIS AGAIN

The one-time long shot for the Democratic nomination has a majority of pledged delegates to the Democratic Convention and is now about 70 delegates shy of the finish line.

MAJORITY....sounds like music to my ears.

In the words of Stevie Wonder....SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED...ITS YOURS BARACK OBAMA.

Congrats

And good one Caroline girl! Yes, MI and FL should SUCCEED for breaking the rules that they knew they were breaking. Your logic is ignorant.

The American people have voted and the delegate count attached by the democratically determined results can't ever be overcome. This is over, if we are still a democracy.

Dr. Rene

By all means enlighen us as to Obama's "true character"

You mean the one where he refuses to engage in attach ads against a fellow democrat? You mean the one keeps him from pandering on things like a gas tax holiday?

McCain will lose because he doesn't know who he is. He is an admitted adulterer and liar who is running on the "family values" (haha) ticket. He is a brave and strong war hero to be sure but not really a military leader of any note.

The DNC needs to go to the convention before they get a nominee, this has been TOO CLOSE a primary all along. They need to look at everything, delegates, supers, & popular votes. I don't understand how delgates are decided because if you look at some states like IN, Obama only got about 7 counties, BUT he took so many of the delegates??? Same as with TX. Look at the maps and wonder how they count them. If the DNC lets it go on, and they decide at the convention, people will then unite I think, BUT if you try to push one out before then, you run the risk of disenfranchising a lot of voters. I'm an independant, I vote the person I think has the experience to tackle the problems we face now. Not in some dubious future state.

Keep up the good fight Obama. All the negative Clinton talk is typical of someone who is losing!.....if hilary-bilary would just admit she's in this race for HER....she doesn't want to be president of the united states..she WANTS to be the first woman president...and there is a difference. Obama wants change and he wants it for the people...his campaign is all about the changes we need in washington to recoup our country, he's trying to be honest w/the people and stating what WE all need to do if the efforts to get things back on track for everyone. Hilary-bilary need to get therir heads out of their butts and accept defeat....her speeches are all beginning to sound the smae...every new state she campaigns in is the "the most important" "closest to her heart"..."best".."most fun place ever"...blah blah...don't these people have TV's to hear when they are being who do'd? I certainly hope her departure speech doesn't inclue laughing,waving and pointing....gheesh...even her gestures are tiresome! She doesn't even deserve the "crazy thought" of being on the same ticket....she is NOT part of anyone's dream team...and her insistance at styaing in to sabotage Obama's cahnces are proof of that. I'll be glad when it's over and he's declared the nominee.

Hey! All of you people who say that MI and FL should just be counted and seated as is are out of your bleeping minds. They knew the rules all along, but did not oppose moving their primary up at all. So quit complaining! Hillary is going to lose. Deal with it. You wanna complain about disenfranchised voters? Talk to the party leaders of MI and FL. You know what will probably actually happen? When the DNC meets on May 31st, they'll probably divide the delegates to reflect some part of the vote, and Obama will be pushed over the delegate hump. Hillary agreed to not campaign in Michigan, just like Obama, and just like Edwards, and every other candidate. She is not entitled to the delegates from a bogus contest, and should freakin cry herself to sleep at night for disenfranchising the heart of the democratic party.

You're still in second place...

Gee Danni, Byrd came before electricity so we should let him be President?

God, These HRC supporters have no concept of reality.

On May 31st the Rules Committee will seat Michigan and Florida in a manner that is fair to both candidates. Originally all candidates (Senators Clinton and Obama included) involved in the race agreed that MI & FL would not count. Let's not forget that part.

Carolina girl: Michigan and Florida did not hold valid Primary elections, to try and count/award those votes is nothing more than pure GOP-like tactics.

Go point your anger where it deserves: The states legislatures.

Get informed.

AMEN Carolina girl!!!

I listened to Sen. Clinton's speech on CNN this morning and as always she gave a fine speech. She is going to keep going on until every vote is counted. That is admirable. But I have one question. She has stated that she has won the popular vote. When it comes to the popular vote, she has stated that it is only the states that held primaries which count. My question is, what has happened to then to the voters of Wyoming, of which I am a resident, Iowa, Nevada, Hawaii, Maine, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Minnisota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Washington, and the District of Columbia? All of these states held caucuses and according to Sen. Clinton, we don't count. (If I left anyone out, please let your voice be heard). I don't understand how Sen. Clinton can stand a the podium and say that the votes of "all 50 states" must count, except for the 12+ and Dis. of Columbia.
I will be surprised if CNN posts this since they never have posted any of my other comments in the past, but I can at least get it off my chest.

To Paul: You need to mail that response to your state legislatures. They were the ones who made the decision to move up the primary date.

TICK TOC

The fall election should be about the policies you want to see coming out of Washington for the next 4 years. Forget all the emotions involved, forget even the names that will appear on the ballot. Think about the future of this country.

Do you want this war and more wars?
Do you want to end women's rights?
Do you want an economy aimed at the rich and ignoring the poor?

If you want all these things then by all means vote for McCain.

If you want peace, equality for all Americans, someone who will support the disenfranchised, and affordable healthcare, then you need to vote for the democratic candidate, regardless of who that may be.

When all of the crying on both sides about which metric to use...

(most contests won...)

no... (most popular vote...)

Florida, Michigan....

no.. most large states...

by the rules of the DNC... the ONLY metric in selecting the nominee is

DELEGATES... THAT'S IT... DELEGATES...... (and the insiders on both sides know it).

You can count Florida and Michigan exactly as they were counted and Obama is still in the lead by FAR.

This is some kind of false hope you are all chasing that you think will save Clinton from defeat.

Are you upset that McCain is the presumptive nominee even though ALL states haven't voted yet? NO, because he has enough delegates that there is NO WAY that his lead can be overcome.

As they stand Michigan and Florida aren't fair elections, Obama wasn't on the ballot and in Florida (as well as Michigan) the people were told their vote was meaningless, don't bother going to vote... It was the only state where more republicans voted than Democrats.

The election was invalid, it can't be counted as it was.

Though they can go ahead and do that if they want, Obama will still win.

Popular vote isn't the measure of success. Delegates are.

If popular vote was the factor then candidates would only campaign in major metro areas. The delegate system ensures that every county in America has a voice.

It also is unfair, because more people showed up at the end of the season than the beginning, because it wasn't as heated then.

Popular vote isn't the measure of victory.

I also find it funny that Clinton supporters are grasping at the democracy straw, when they are more than happy to let the Superdelegates overturn the results of the primaries and GIVE the nomination to the loser (Clinton)... Democracy only matters when it supports Clinton huh?

lol

carolina girl: do you have any idea what is going on? serious question. I don't understand why people are so retarded about this issue. it's really quite simple, so i am going to break it down for you.

the elected state government in those states decided to go against party rules after the rules had been set in place knowing that they would be stripped of their delegates. it doesn't matter whether people agree with this now or not, because all the candidates (including senator clinton) agreed on those rules. if the DNC goes back on its word now and lets them have a say, the next primary season is going to be chaos because everyone will move their primaries up in order to have a "say" in what happens with the democratic nominee.

The people of michigan and florida need to give their state government a big thank you for screwing them out of a chance to actually have something to say like they would have had they waited for their previously scheduled primaries. so i hope this was easy enough for people to understand because i'm tired of people complaining about punishment for breaking rules, what kind of home did you people grow up in anyway?

She has been telling voters for months now that he is incompetent and incapable of being president. The polling in Kentucky verifies that she has continued these tactics in Kentucky. Yesterday, she even claimed that him and his campaign was sexist. These tactics did not work in IN and NC, that should have ended them. Yes people have said sexist things about her but why has she placed the blame on him? I have not heard him say anything sexually insulting toward her.
She is creating a no confidence vote in the leading candidate of her own party. This is a primary and not the GE, at this point I question the integrity and ethics of someone who will continue this kind of talk convincing their own party members that he does not deserve the nomination and she does.
To what point and purpose does she continue? I cannot find an explanation except to bring Obama down and I am hoping that is not her cause. It will be a difficult task to all of a sudden convince her voters that he is capable when he ultimately gets the nomination. I see this as a problem she has created and she will have to fix or she will have left great damage to her political party. With the current state of the US, this should be an easy win in November, but unfortunately it will not and Hillary Clinton has done everything in her power to make it that way. At this point she must alter her course and her purpose and her commitment to her party which includes the millions of members of her party that did not vote for her.

Hillary is now definately winning the popular vote. Funny how this reminds me of the whole Al Gore thing where he won the popular vote and George Bush won the 2000 election.

All the people cried FOUL back then. Now it's the other way around. Hillary w/ the bigger popular vote, but looks like Obama will win the primary.

Bunch of silly and not-that-intelligent hypocrites over in the Obama camp

Below is a letter I sent this morning to the DNC:
--------
Enough is enough.

The Clinton campaign is playing on, bringing out, and legitimizing the racist tendencies in the uneducated white segment of our Democratic constituency.

It has to stop. Hillary Clinton's personal ambition is now bringing this Primary season and our Democratic Party down to its lowest common denominator: the poor white racist.

The DNC must put a stop to what is clearly Hillary Clinton's "strategy." Playing on and legitimizing racist fears in that small remaining bigoted segment of our society is causing the ugly head of racism to resurface, and will destroy the change and hope message this election should be about.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. SHUT DOWN CLINTON'S RACIST STRATEGY BEFORE IT DESTROYS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Hillary Clinton cannot legitimately win this nomination, and indulging her ego has only demonstrated that she will stop at nothing to gain the Presidency.

Can we Democrats really afford to coddle the Clinton's at the expense of her pandering to the remaining racist segment of our country?!

IF the DNC does not put a stop to this now, YOU and the Clinton's will be responsible for the Democrats losing the Presidency in the fall, and bringing our country back to it's ugly racist days.

You Americans are funny. Obama was right…you are a bitter bunch of people, the Billary supporters, I mean. Go and vote Mc Cain and continue counting your dead soldiers

----------------–

LMAO...whos bitter???

How many of the Obama posters are from foreign countrys????

How much of Obamas donations are coming from foreign countrys???

I think someone should start investigating !!

Some people bother me....

How can you count states like FL and MI? Not only have they been disqualified, but in MI Obama was not even on the ballot!

And for the hardcore HRC supporters, even if FL and MI did count, which they probably will because Bill and Hillary whine about it so much, it would not make any difference when it comes to the math.

And for the people who will not vote Obama in the fall, just to spite him... grow up. I mean seriously if you are willing to sabotage the election to get your way then so be it. It is supporters like these for a candidate like Clinton, which is why her campaign crumbled from the start. And if your such a "die hard" Clinton supporter, then donate some funds to the sinking ship.

Obama and his supporters, laughing all the way to the White House!!

The DNC should give Michgian and Flrodia half of their delegates, just like the RNC did–and let the issue finally be resolved. It's time to end all of the in-fighting and bickering and make sure a democrat is in the White House next year.
Democrats 08

I'm telling you. Clinton voters can't wait to vote against Obama in Nov.
These super delegates, mostly congresspeople are will to give this to Obama, to save their own skin, even if it means a victory for McCain.

What a party we have.

You people that insist on counting Florida and Michigan as is are delusional or republican trolls. They broke the rules that everyone (including Hillary) agreed to. And the funniest thing is, they are rules put in place by Terry Mc. The Florida and Michigan delegations will be seated in some manner but the vote as is... meaningless.

I would like to point out that Ted Kennedy ran the very same campaign that Hillary is running right now. He went all the way to the floor of the convention, june 3rd when it was obvious he could not win. Carter had it sewed up many months earlier, but Ted stayed in with…. and I quote " I am the more electable candidate" (because the country just loves northeastern ivy league yachting types)

So what is wrong with Hillary staying in, to save face and to make sure her supporters got their moneys worth? If Obama is so fragile his candidacy cannot stand even this.. then what will happen in the fall? I will vote for him, that's what will happen. I hope the rest of my southern white blue collar, "I had to work right outta high school", men will be as generous to the snobby wing of our party.

JD, Miller, John Coil, Obama or no one and Proud Bigot....unbelievable! For many reasons, I am not a supporter of Clinton. And those feelings are based on how she has run her campaign and her mouth (lies, racism, sexism etc). But because I am a true DEMOCRAT and she has similar ideas as Obama...I will vote for her if she is the nominee. And that will be separating my personal views of her and knowing that our country cannot be turned around with McCain in office.

According to Hilary, her supporters are uneducated. Well, for once in your life take an educated stance and vote for the DEMOCRAT nominee based on politics, not race (embrace Obamas white side if that make you feel better). By the way, what makes a biracial individual black? If you are all blue collar and living paycheck to paycheck...WHY on GOD's green earth would you want four more years of struggle. Wouldn't you want the next four years being spent cleaning up Bush's mess and not adding salt (McCain) to the wound?

For all you racist voters, watch the movie A Time to Kill (Mathew McConnaughy and Samuel L Jackson). At the end, the lawyer asked the jury (of white people) to close their eyes and picture the black child (that was tortured and raped by those white men) were a white child when making there decision of conviction. Most cried! We are ALL Americans and we are ALL human beings.

To all racist, whether white or black...DO NOT vote for McCain if your favorite candidate does not win the nomination based on skin color. You will be surprised to know that we all eat, sleep and crap alike. The only thing that make us different is our skin color (in most cases).

This race has been over for quite some time now.....

But HRC continues to drag the contest out, if you can even call it a contest anymore.

Bama '08

The race isn't over until ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED – and that means
counting the EXACT votes, as they were cast, in both Michigan and Florida.

We can't elect a President without the input from ALL 50 states. This is the UNITED states! That means ALL of us. 100%. Nothing less.

If Florida and Michigan's votes are ignored, as they are being now,
or if they are fractionalized in any way, or divided up 'randomly" — with the pre-set idea of letting Obama win the election — then FLA and MI should SECEDE from the nation.

We can't be the "united" states with less than our 50 states.
UNITED we stand.... less than united, we FAIL. Fail to be honest, trustworthy, and proper stewards of the authority entrusted to us
in the U.S. Constitution.

You Americans are funny. Obama was right...you are a bitter bunch of people, the Billary supporters, I mean. Go and vote Mc Cain and continue counting your dead soldiers.....

How is the momentum on Obama's side? Hillary is now beating him in the popular vote even when you consider the caucus estimates! Puerto Rico will go heavily for Clinton and will increase her popular vote even farther! Have we ever elected a democratic nominee who did not have the popular vote?

But he still going to win in general election, you know why? because in general election majority of White people going to vote for McCain and the
big problem is Republican not going to let Obama sit in the White House
their going to try every thing their can to take him out of his hope. Fair game I think every body in this country should stand on the line when you
want to do some thing so, Obama came after he should wait for his term
Hillary came first let she be President first NO CHEATING PLEASE DNC.

I can't wait til Obama loses in the fall. What a joke

DNC, Superdelegates,
To whom it may concern:
This is the land of the free, of those who believe in a better future for each one of our families. We are all part of this great dream. Thus, those voters who went to the polls despite being disenfranchised by a few have the same rights as we do to have their voice heard. America is not about a comittee, but it embraces everyone, and that includes the voters from FLA and Michigan. No one can stop democracy from running its normal course, or can a few silence the voices of millions? you were chosen to serve not to silence our people, we do not live in Cuba and even if we did, it does not allow you to limit peoples' rights.
Every vote must count, and we are certain that you will make the right desicion, FLA and Michigan are also a part of the Union. Otherwise you are risking the posibility of a Democrat in the White House.
Thanks for your attention to this request in favor of our people.
Sincerely yours,
Paul

It is now time for the super delegates to support the candidate with the majority of pledged delegates. To do otherwise would be to invite anarchy. What are you waiting for? Do the right thing. Let the party heal and focus on the general election. We have had enough rhetorical spinning on the popular vote from a candidate who has had to create her own parallel universe to win( exclude caucuses and seat those that deliberately broke the rules of the DNC disenfranchising those that obeyed the rules. Super delegates you have a lot on the line. Move forward.

The "never say die" attitude that Senator Clinton is demonstrating appears to be admired by those that want to be seen as being politically correct. To me, it is an exercise in stupidity. Call a spade a spade. She is too stuborn to admit that with all her political pedigree, she has lost to a political under-dog from the wrong side of the tracks of Chicago. After all the negative comments she has made about Senator Obama, how does she expect people to suddenly believe her when she finally wakes up to reality and decides to join the ObamaNation.

Go Obama! You will be the candidate, and you will win in November! Forget what these negative, biased CNN reporters and commentators have to say!

Obama 08

What does history tell us about how often the initial front runner in a primary prevails at the end?

Might shed some light on this process.

Go Barack! Goodbye Hillary

(Version 3.0)

BEWARE!!!

A lot of NEOCONS posing as Clinton or Obama supporters are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE NEOCON HATE MACHINE!

As a Clinton supporter, if I don't vote for Obama in the presidential election, it won't be so much not wanting him to be president as not wanting to align myself with his fanatical, name-calling, hatred filled base. A majority of you people have been just horrid, absolutely sexist, ignorant of the nominating "process",and totally in opposition of what you say your candidate stands for. Not very far-sighted are you?

(Revision to the above)

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of NEOCONS posing as Clinton or Obama supporters are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE NEOCON HATE MACHINE!

Barack – whatch your facial expressions you look a bit like Tim Curry in the move Legend here. – you dont want people calling you Lord Darkness do you?

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!

LISTEN UP ALL YOU DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND YOU "SOC-CALLED" SUPERDELEGATES!

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE CHOSEN THE WRONG CANDIDATE AND LOST?????????????

IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS OURS FOR THE TAKING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES THAT, ONCE AGAIN, WE WILL LOSE TO MCBUSH COME NOVEMBER!

WAY TO GO!

done da done done done!

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of Repubs posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE REPUB HATE MACHINE!

The CNN story "Obama, Clinton supporters both say Clinton attacking unfairly", is misleading. The exit poll results actually indicate a higher number of voters felt Sentor Clinton did not attack unfairly. They also indicated they thought Senator Obama attacked unfairly.

Kentucky Exit Poll Results:

Asked which candidate attacked unfairly. 39% of voters polled indicated "both". 34% of voters polled indicated "neither".

Asked if Clinton attacked unfairly. 54% of voters polled indicated "yes". 43% of voters polled indicated "no".

Asked if Obama attacked unfairly. 49% of voters polled indicated "yes". 48% of voters polled indicated "no".

For the Record:

Clinton is staying in until she can get what she wants:
Money, the VP slot, the presidency for 2012. She will hold this election hostage until she does. So if she has to go all the way to Denver, it won't be to "help" the party, but to hurt the party until she is on top. Remember it's all about her, not gas prices, not the people, not the children, just Hillary. She is the most selfish, self-centered person on the planet. Did I mention she is also a liar? The good thing is–now we know.

Every time she says "I will fight for you" I want to gag. She will fight for no one, except herself. Her voters are naive, but what can you do–they really believe that crap.

Once this is over, and she doesn't win, she will fight the DNC tooth and nail until she can change the rules so that she can win in 2012. So there won't be any more caucuses, and South Carolina won't be one of the first states to vote. It's not in her best interest. The Clintons own the DNC, and Hillary is going to go ballistic until she gets what she wants. And for the record, Dean isn't very strong against both of the Clintons. He's just not.

The only hope is that the superdelegates will stop being afraid of Hillary and Bill, and will come out of hiding. The people are more important than Billary.

We're going to take our country back against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Are you listening Billary?

YES WE CAN!

YOU GO OBAMA!!!!!!

I've voted for 40 years and this is the closest race I've ever seen and they have often gone to the convention before a winner was decided, so let it be. WHO WILL BE THE BEST NOMINEE IN NOVEMBER???
WHO WILL BE THE BEST FIGHTER??? Who in the past has had the support of the widest range of supporters? Who has the experience to get us out of the mess we're in?? Change is good, BUT you have to deal with the problems NOW, not after years of implementing changes. Change takes time and right now that is what we have the least of.

Thank you Iowa for setting the tone of this election in 2008!

Lets go 70 SuperD's.

Obama 08!

YET no one reports clinton gained 150,000 votes last night over obama, to add on to her popular vote lead..

hmm

Hillary is trying to raise the bar with Michigan and Florida but discounting the caucus states. She wants to award states that broke the rules and willing to disenfranchise caucus states.

I love how her campaign went from 'only the big states matter' to 'caucus states don't count'.

I love you Clinton supporters but it's time we unite behind Obama.

Go Obama and it was a wonder speech and on point. I hope the Obama camp heard what Clinton said last night.

During her speech she intentional mention the color of one of her supporters, but chose not to mention the color of the younger girl who's husband is serving in Iraq. Was it important the to say the 80 plus who thought she would never live to see a woman run for President had to be indentified as African American? However she never stated the race of anyone else. Clinton is full of game she should be play NBA.

This will be the second time this democratic party will put up a candidate in the general election that can't win against the Republican. What is wrong with this party? I'm ready to switch my affiliation.

My only consolation: The more Obama talks foreign policy the more he sounds like a child.

And go ahead Obama fanatics, defend him against McCain – but be sure to include his military service ... oh wait, he doesn't have any

It is time for Hillay and her people to wake up and attack the unfair treatment of Nobama and his racist followers. Nobama had too many free ride because he is black. Come on people , this guy anly talk but he never do anything for this country . The only thing that he can change is to divide American on races , gender , and status. I am a democrat and will never vote for this racist Nobama. HIllary or Mcain will be my next president.

You media pundits never cease to amaze me. What "finsih line" is Obama near??? He will NOT have the delegates needed to scure the nomination. PERIOD. The Party "rules" do NOT say the one with the "majority" of delegates wins the nomination!!! Get over all this hype about Obama!!!!

Once again, Hillary proves she can win the states that matter for the General election!

Obama will fall flat against GOP.

This all goes to show that BO can buy the superD votes.. look up how much $ he has donated to them via PACs!

GO HILLARY GO!

I would like to point out that Ted Kennedy ran the very same campaign that Hillary is running right now. He went all the way to the floor of the convention, june 3rd when it was obvious he could not win. Carter had it sewed up many months earlier, but Ted stayed in with.... and I quote " I am the more electable candidate" (because the country just loves northeastern ivy league yachting types)

So what is wrong with Hillary staying in, to save face and to make sure her supporters got their moneys worth? If Obama is so fragile his candidacy cannot stand even this.. then what will happen in the fall? I will vote for him, that's what will happen. I hope the rest of my southern white blue collar, "I had to work right outta high school", men will be as generous to the snobby wing of our party.

hillary is a loser
she can never ebver win

This race was really a marathon, and boy somebody may have to help hill cross the finish line. I see the flash bulbs going off and Hillary – Sillary is nowhere to be found at the finish line!!! LOL I think Sillary has fallen and she can't get up! It's about time, it started getting sad watching her struggle to finish this race. As I understand men almost always finish the race first! Like the late great James Brown says " This Is A Man's World" LOl Bye Sillary better luck in the Senate!

They still have not included Florida and Michigan. What happened to our votes? Maybe the Obama camp and the DNC will want us on GE.
or even beg for our votes come November. And guess what? , you forgot to counts us, remember? Hello John Mccain!, here we come!!!

Scores big huh? Well, that would be something to shout about if she wasn't LOSING BIG TIME!!!

I mean Sen. Clinton is like a horse that is still on the track when the winning horse has already been announced, photographed and showered in champagne!!!

I mean when does this absolute madness end? I mean Americans are just so sick to death of hearing Sen. Clinton's excuses and false facts being pandered over and over. I mean it just gets so sad and depressing that a grown woman is behaving in such a juvenile manner. The same woman who claims to be "a fighter" and yet can't even tell the truth on any level. Who uses the GENDER and RACE card to plead her no-win case. Who sat by and promoted racial division in the party and never stepped up to the plate to denounce it, not once!! Talk about lack of integrity!!! Shameful!!!

Everyone is just "appeasing" Sen. Clinton with all this nonsense. I don't understand why everyone keeps tip toeing around this woman, while she continues to run her mouth with more lies and false facts.
Sen. Clinton counts MI and FL knowing she has NO authority to do so. NOW she claims she has won the popular vote. What? Does she even know how to add? AND now she does NOT want to count the caucus states!!! I mean Jesus, help me Lord because this woman is just driving me insane with her BS!! She just keeps adding insult to her own injury and manages to make herself look even more retarded in the process.

I mean the NUMBERS DO NOT SUPPORT your theory what-so-ever. So who comes out looking stupid and ignorant here? Who continues to be have like a sore loser? Exactly.

If this was anyone else but Sen. Obama beating Sen. Clinton, he would have knocked her out of the game and shut her down a long time ago. Sen. Obama has been more than gracious when it comes to Sen. Clinton, but there is a LIMIT to which he will continue to be gracious. Make no mistake. Don't let his handsome face fool you, Sen. Obama will NOT be played by the Clintons. Don't get it twisted, he'll slam her the minute she gets out of line. You can believe that!!

Hmm, how many does he need now? According to some sources less than 70 to that current "Magic" number established by the DNC.

Why is Hillary letting this continue? Is it because she thinks she is entitled to be the democratic nominee? She and Bill have convinced some that Barack is responsible for Michigan and Florida, and those that believe her and bill are ill informed.

She has calculated the total delegate number needed to win to 2210. Hillary never mentioned this change until after Super Tuesday because she thought she was going to be the front runner. If she were truly concerned about Mi and FL, she would have voiced her concern before Feb 5. I'm sure she knew the rules set forth by the DNC for states that moved their primary dates up early.

Kentucky, Kentuicky, Kentucky. Clinton wins Kentucky! Oh, yea, and Obama won some State out West somewhere.

Why is the story "Clinton Wins Kentucky!" and the Obama Oregon win is played down?

Why does the media hype "WINS" when all that matters is DELEGATES?

Kentucky gave Obama delegates, too. It seems that now, even if we count the "flawed" elections in Michigan and Florida, Obama will be over the 2025 delegate count needed for the nomination, it not very close to it.

The press reports this like an episode of "survivor" – as though each candidate was being "voted of the island" with each primary.

However, all that matters is DELEGATE COUNT. Yes, Obama won Iowa, as he celebrated last night, but Hillary got one more delegate from Iowa than Obama did. The opposite happened in New Hampshire. "Wins" are irrelevant. Delegate count is what matters.

So let't stop calling "wins" state-by-state and concentrate on the real race: DELEGATES.

I want a democrate in office this time around.....but the fact is....Hillary is going to lose this and she still sticks in there. That's great....BUT it's time to hang her hat.....She lost....and that's that. On to McCain

I hope the democrats wake up before it is too late and realize that Obama is unelectable. The Republicans are practically salivating in the wings waiting to pounce. Obama has more baggage than the airlines lose in a year. And neither he nor Michelle are sophisticated or aware enough to know what can and can be done during a presidential campaign. The media has practially ignored Rev. Wright, totally irnored Bill Ayers and Rezco. The Republicans, however, have thier agenda. Michelle may turn out to be Obama's pit bull (however protective he may be - but what can you say about a woman who can point the finger at another woman and say if she can't keep her house in order how can she keep theWhite House in Order?) Obama has mesmerized the youth of America with alot of empty promises and rhetoric. McCain does not have to lift a finger. If Obama is nominated he will practically escort McCain into the White House.

Let's keep in mind the polarization Sen. Clinton has stirred up in her desperate attempt at power...Does anyone remember that Sen. Obama has won consistently or do we just count the points scored in the last quarter of the game ??

In reality this race has been over for quite a while - it has been artificially extended by the media.

Here is an analogy that I think all football fans can understand regarding Michigan, Florida, and Hillary's "big state" argument.

Imagine if two football teams play a full season. At the the end of the season, Team A has a 15-1 record and Team B has a 14-2 record. Even though Team A finished ahead of Team B, the coach of Team B shockingly claims that his team should be the champions. During an interview, the coach of Team B argues, "Hey look, we played tougher opponents than Team A did. Plus, if you count the pre-season game that we won against Team A, we're actually tied. The pre-season game ought to count. Both teams starters didn't play. Fans bought tickets to the game. It was televised. Why can't the league just count that exhibition game and give us the championship."

In Hillary's world, the coach makes sense.

he is our nominee, cary go.

He will never get my vote, and neither will the DNC...I am changing my party affiliation. The election was stolen from Hillary...and the DNC will end up paying a high price for it. You all think we will change our minds once Obama is the nominee...guess again.

Reading the comments on these articles, it is hard to escape the notion that supporters of Ms Clinton are acting like a pack of Veruca Salts.

She fought hard, but came up short. Time to accept that and embrace the party. Alternately, go on and vote Republican and you'll have noone but yourselves to blame when McCain appoints up to three conservatives to the Supreme Court and things you've taken for granted, things your predecessors fought and struggled for, evaporate.

Fossils like Ms Ferraro who embrace the politics of division invoke 'sexism' as the reason for Ms Clinton's decline, but that is hardly credible given Ms Clinton's longstanding frontrunner status at the beginning of the primaries. Instead, she fans the flames of gender-based grievance and drives those sympathetic to her views away from uniting the party. I can think of no single thing that runs counter to this than a woman's right to choose, which will be at risk. Such irony, such tragedy.

Now I know why there are so many turmoil in most of these African countries. Everyone one want to be in power. Hillary will do all in her powers to be elected. I wonder what she have to gain out of all this. Maybe she will set the stage for Chelsea to be the next Prez and then Bush daughter will take over after her (Chelsea)term.

A British newspaper said in 2004 after Bush won that election: how can 60 million people so stupid.

If Obama is not elect as the Next prez it will be the biggest mistake the ppl of USA will ever make.

GO Obama.

Hillary reminds me of the Knights of NI in Monty Pythons Holy Grail. The one that was sitting on the ground with no arms and legs, yelling , " Come on.. it's only a flesh wound, come back and I'll bite your kneecap"....

Hillary, you are really looking pathetic now.

I am so ready for the Democratic primaries to be over so that we can get into the business of running for the White House. The superdelegates are not going to just GIVE HRC the nomination, so she should concede with some dignity left. If the shoe were on the other foot, she would’ve INSISTED that Obama concede expeditiously.

Seeing the Democratic superdelegates backing Obama is like watching lemmings rushing towards the sea as Obama doesn't have a hope of beating John McCain in November. But the Democrats don't seem to care as they are caught up in the moment and can't seem to look beyond it to tomorrow. (My latest tally is McCain 305 electoral votes,Obama 223, tied 5).

I'm a Clinton fan and possibly will not vote in the presidential election if it is between Obama and McCain. If I do end up voting it will be for McCain, not Obama due to Obama's lack of experience. I think you should do a survey to find out which Clinton supporters would either not vote at all or vote for McCain in the presidential election. I have a feeling there are a lot of people who feel the way I do.

Obama can't win the general but keep pushing him Dems.
your used to losing anyway

Hillary or McCain 08!

How is " Momentum on his side" BO has won a total of 2 contests in the last 8 weeks and thus on a big loosing streak.
This does not speak of confindence nor voters acceptance at all.
The weak note of these final weeks of the primaries only resounds the fact that BO is not electable in the fall .

What a story!!! History in the making!

What a milestone considering he is a rookie!

Way to go Obama!

This is looking more and more like the Kentucky Debry!

Go Big Brown!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

You know it's sad when you win but manage to lose Hillary! I don't feel sorry for her and can't wait to see her face on June 3 after the last primary!

Instead of using her time in the last rounds she should be going after Mc Cain and not the media! I thought she said she was tough and a fighter? Where's Rocky? Even Bill Clinton has started to trash the media -ha,ha,ha........... hey Bill – if you don't want the player to get hit – don't put the pads on!!!

Yes we will!

Just who is Barack Obama? Do we really know? Change comes in many faces, colors and attitudes. I am looking for stability of this country, not some Armani suit wearing liberal with a huge attitude...He called this race weeks ago and he was the "winner". I say, let the American people speak....

Go Hillary! Bye Bye Bama

Yes he can. She needs to quit after the last primary. Geeesh!

60% of people in Oreagon who voted for Sen Clinton said that they will never vote for Obama and in Kentucky it was 80%. Obama had a chance to prove he was a fair and honest politician when he was offered a revote in MI and FL . He could of campaigned there but he decided to try and steal the primaries and disenfranchise millions of people. So much for the candidate of hope. I guess Edwards endorsement didn't help him much.

I suspect the nomination will be decided shortly after June 3. Super delegates are likely to continue coming out for either Senator Obama or Senator Clinton at a faster pace now that almost every state has had its say. The only wrench I can see getting thrown into this is if something unexpected happens on May 31 when the credentialing committee meets to discuss Michigan and Florida. However, it doesn't appear that any conceivable allocation of delegates from that meeting can change the result. I think the days of Democratic in fightin are about to end. Thank goodness for that.

I think that Sen.Obama is in the best position to get the nominee because he gets more delegates , more pledge and more super.I believe that the same rules will put him in the fact!

gabriel Miami , fl

Is Eight Bells still trying to run? Look, there are the superdells coming to put her out of our misery.

let's keep going to the finish line...

I will never vote for you, not now, not ever. Im not voting at all. Im one woman staying home. You and your campaign threw Hillary under the bus, ridiculed,smeared, and called her every name in the book.Listen t o your followers! All the hate everyone sprewed at Clinton will have cnsequences!!!!!!

Let's keep going to the finish line.

i really don't understand why people can't see that hillary is the stronger candidate , because of that we r going 2 have 4 more yrs. of bush. they think that this party is going to come together , they r wrong. i do not see obama winning in nov. sorry but i don't. if he can't win the states that he needs now , what makes anyone think that he will win in nov. please look @ the big picture. hillary i will write u'r name in ....no, no, 4 obama

This is like the NFL, most of the time the AFC or NFC championship game is better than the Super Bowl.

for the first time in a long time i am very proud to be an american
we are going down the trail to a better place in history

I am so gald this is almost over. I have heard every scare tactic, manipulation of numbers, moving of goal posts (thanks for truly defining this Hillary), you name we have seen it, and finally it is about to be put to a rest.

There are a number of people who will be proven foolish by the rhetoric created by the Clinton campaign, and will Bush's ability to get elected to a second term still scares me for this election, I still have faith in the American people to make the right choice. Based on that, Obama is going to obliterate McCain in the General Election.

I have hope again!

it is a great time to be an american
yes he can

god bless our troops,the usa and ted kennedy

obama doesn't have the number of delegates, and neither does hillary. it doesn't matter that he has more than her, now it is who is more electable. hillary is the stronger candidate, who can beat mccain. it the superdelegates give the nomination to obama, mccain will be president, and it will be 4 more years of the republicans!

Now we see Hillary will not be the Nominee, further and further behind, unable to catch up and unable to PUT HIM AWAY. She's no underdog, no 'comeback kid' type of candidate, just another elitist who poured her own money into the campaign and has failed. 31 million + in debt in just a couple of months.

he.s alredy there

Oh, I forgot to mention, everyone who dislikes Obama thinks he is arrogant and full of himself. They aren't big on MicHELLe either!

I'm sure terrorists around the world are smiling with glee.

Obama/Hamas 08

As anybody seen the L.A. Times this morning that Hillary's campaing in debt 31 millions dollars, what's wrong with this picture? time to ask is she the one best to handle the U.S. economy? and how is she going to pay it back? wake up people and smell the coffee

Regardless of the Obama / Hillary rivialry by their supporters...America has come a long way. I'm in my 30's and never thought I'd see a day that a man of African ancestry would become a viable candidate as the leader of the free world. I am proud of America, proud that for once in my lifetime, America has looked beyond color and beyond race to try to better the world as we know it. America wants change and I'm glad to see that WE don't care who helps us bring about change, we just know that change is necessary and in demand!
Obama 08/12!

Obama is already despised by at least half of the democrats, most of the republicans and independents. He cannot lead this country.

Are you including Michigan and Florida????? My vote did not count!

I find it puzzling that Hillary can take such a big win in KY and no one seems to be concerned that this is a sign that Obama cannot win the general election. I have met only 2 people who said they would vote for him. Everyone else I know is skeptical about his past and experience.

So far I have enjoyed this race. Unfortunately with Florida and Michigan left out I feel that not all Dems had a say. I like Obama but though he gives a good speach designed to inspire that is where he stops. So far no issues have been fleshed out other than the idea that he does not like to get picked on in the media. I have to say that I remain a Clinton supporter until things change. I deffinately will not vote for Mcain but if Obama does not start giving anything worth thinking about he will not have my vote either.

How great it would have been if Hilliary had not play the sexism card.....
but as women many of us think her shameful for her tactics and her lack of grace under fire. Someone should remind her and Bill something bigger than their egos is at stake here.....the next Presidency.
Obama has this ...Watching to see if Hillary will run as an Independent
out of anger or insist she be nominated for the VP spot, which everyone knows is something Obama would not choose.

Yeah! I'm so happy to hear this! Mr. Obama will be a president with intellect, key people, and values I can respect and trust.

YEAH MCCAIN!

Have you ever wondered why the symbol of the Democrats is a DONKEY- Because you all are that?

MCCAIN GOT THIS…

I have never seen so many dumb people.

LOL KEEP FIGHTING YOU ALL IS HELPING OUR PARTY. LOL

MCCAIN 08 P.S. we will rule for another 4years and keep you ALL in your PLACE…lol

SORRY DONKEYS (JACK- – - ) YOU WILL NOT GET THIS ELECTION

Obama or Clinton is not going to have the delegates needed to win nomination. Florida and Michigan still need their votes counted. And I beleive in the discussions they will find that sen obama cheated on his pledge not to campaign in florida.The television ads ran more than a week before voting took place. There were also signs at the voting places. Hilary kept her word and did not campaign. I think that will come out as they decide how to figure the delegates. I feel because she did play by the rules, asked for a redo of the process, and obama objected to revoting he should pay some consequence and forfeit his delegates in florida. He took his name off the ballot in michigan! It was on there and he removed it. I think because he knew Hilary was going to beat him bad in that state. However I know you wont post this, cause this is the truth, and the media has been extremly bias in their support for obama, good god they have been calling for hilary to get out since Iowa. Fox news is starting to sound fair and balanced cnn

Hey, just looked at the exit polls in Kentucky and learned that 63 percent of the educated voters in Kentucky voted for Clinton. This will mean 10 less votes for Obama in the fall.

I can only say three things about last nights results.
1) Duh we kinda knew the outcomes so no big surprises here, even the news organizations have little to say.
2) I did some research this am and, using Ms. Clinton's OWN logic (i.e. she has won the most votes because she is counting MI and Fl) I argue her point, there was a selection done on line that gave Mr. Obama 325,000 more votes than Ms. clinton so based on this selection and the others Ms. Clinton is counting Mr. Obama has more votes. What the on-line selection is not sanctioned by the DNC? Well Neither is MI or FL!
3) For those who say that KY "represents the U.S." I will simply point out this given a choice between Candidate "A" or Candidate "B" 5% of KY chose candidate "C"... yep real geniuses there all right.. sheesh

It won't be long now...

I am waiting for Obamas mustache, it should appear soon, I had to turn the tv off last night,when he was speaking, when he starts that same change speech ,finger pointing in the air,he sounds just like ,his soon to be best friend ,cacameana jad of Iran,
thanks cnn for dooming this country!!!

YAY

OBAMA-EDWARDS '08

NO HILLARY ON THE TICKET.....

It's the Electoral College, stupid!

not sure if Democrats are nominating their strongest candidate who can win 270 Electoral votes

Congratulations Hillary for another great win!

Thank you for not giving up-we won't either!

It would seem that a Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants receives votes from a small cult of followers that won't get him elected, even with every Liberal (including the Media) pulling for him along with spending 4 times the amount of money!

If the Democratic Party wants to win the General Election they had better have Hillary at the top of the ticket!

I think conservatives form all parties would vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket.

Conservatives will not vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket.

The prove is in the results for all to see, if you are not blinded by hype.

After Obama's nomination, and in the event, Hillary and any of her supporters either not vote or vote for McBush allowing McBush to win and continue the Bush war, the rest of us Democrats and America will remember their selfish, childish immaturity as McBush continues the war. With every American soldier who dies or is wounded because the Clinton supporters cried and couldn't have their way, we will remember what you caused and history will blame Hillary. What a disgraceful attitude and behavior. Shame on all of you!

For- GOP RULES– You are wrong to call us Donkeys. But I will agree with you if we as Democrats do not stick together and vote as a party and vote for Mccain because of hate, then we are dumb.

I think it is obvious.... Obama didn't spend much time in states like Kentucky and West Virginia, because he doesn't care about those people. They aren't his type of elitist people who look down their noses at hard working people who happen to be the backbone of this country. Obama supporters are so mean spirited. Their comments about uneducated voters voting for Clinton is ignorant. Having an education doesn't mean you are intelligent Hillary connecteed to those people because they sense she is genuinely concerned about their problems..... whereas Obama spends his time in Oregon with his "type" The reason a huge majority of Hillary voters will NEVER vote for Obama is because of his supporters rudeness and ignorance. We will NEVER vote for him.. and face it... without us... he can't win. He loses and that is the power of the Hillary supporters. He can't win the general with only his portion (50% of the democratic voters). They need us more than we need them. You better be nice and start eating some crow along with that Kool-Aid.

you go hillary,we had good times when your husband was in office. and i know that you would,make a great president,like your husband.i"m proud that you are standing up for the people. and know matter what in my heart, you have and always will fight us people, unlike the thing that is in the white house now,or if mcCain gets in. I just hope a rep does not get in. or only the rich people will have.bus is making sure of that. so sen. cliniton press on for us little people

Has anyone even noticed, that Clinton is not paying her bills and owes money everywhere! She is "ready on day one" to do what? pay her bills ! set up a spreadsheet for the USA! (ha, good one) how can anyone take her serious! yes, she gets the hillbilly voters cuz they do not know anything better (sad she is making fools of the less educated)
Hello out there, she is a fraud, a lier and a cheat

It really would not cost us anything to let Hillary be President and if it doesn’t work out then give it to Obama but not the other way around?

Hillary Clinton...What a surprising woman, my respect goes out to her and her campaign. When many in the south are saying they would never vote for an African American it raises eyebrows of discontent. One commentator said “it's sad that we are not ready for an African American leader but hopefully this will soon change when Obama becomes one of our country’s elite personalities”. NO one has mentioned at any given point anything about Hillary’s battle as a woman, especially after last night when everyone was asking themselves what is Hillary still doing in the race?

So I will say it myself…. It’s sad that we are not ready for a woman President, because she is already a leader and we can’t see it. It is sad that we chose a promise for change over real action. Although Hillary never mentioned change in that way, she has been working towards change all her life, without making a spectacle of it.

She is staying in this race for every woman out there that has ever been forced out of a race… at work, at home, in private, in the world. To send a message everywhere that is time for a change…It’s time to respect a woman for what she is worth, capable of doing and willing to work for. This situation is reminiscent of the Jamaican slide team in the Olympics…their first time there, really fish out of water but they raced with their heart, pride and soul. They fell out of the race but they picked up their broken slide and walked all the way to the finish line. It meant something to their country, it meant something to every single person that was there that day, it meant something when the movie was made about it, and it still means something today. They got their medal, the medal of respect.

To me Hillary is President of the United States of America ever since day one when she decided to take on healthcare and everyone pushed her to the First Lady’s corner. They told her to arrange furniture and decorate the White House. We all knew right there and then that she was different not JUST a First Lady. I knew Hillary was President of the United States when she decided to stand by her husband after public humiliation, that’s when she earned respect even overseas. I knew she was President when I saw what an amazing daughter she raised. When I saw this country with a healthy economy and people were happy for the first time since I’ve been born and I knew she had something to do with it.

I want to thank Hillary Clinton for all the sacrifices she done throughout her life for this country, for never giving up on us and for her undeniable courage. I’ve been discriminated in this system just like she has, as a Floridian I’ve been denied my right to vote for a candidate. Every person in Florida and Michigan has been denied that right. We are Not being allowed to exercise our power as citizens of the United States of America and that’s against our constitutional rights, this should be taken to the courts. I feel completely violated, and as a woman even more. I really urge them to count our votes or be allowed to vote again. I’ll vote for Hillary in this election and any other always…

We are with You Hillary!

I can't wait to see Hilary Clinton get blown out the water. I'm gonna get me a front row seat and some popcorn . I might even shed a tear when her political obituaries start rolling out trying to explain how she went from a dead cert to a dead donkey.

For all you Clinton supporters who won't vote for Obama after he wins the nomination then all I can say is goodbye. Shut the door on your way out. It's better that way because we can then easily lump you with your republican buddies and get you fifth columnists out of OUR party. You will be replaced four fold by repented republicans, independents and the youth that will swell our ranks all the way to the Nov elections.

You've backed a loser (Clinton) for the dem nomination and now want to backer a loser for the presidential elections (McCain). Anyone else spot a pattern with these people? Whoever they vote for loses, predictable enough to bet on..

Come Nov. when we win we will do a victory dance on the bones of Clinton and McCain, for the USA, as good finally overcomes evil.

Hoorah!!!

I am ready for June 3rd so Hilllary can sleep permanently this election
she has not been competition she has been a thorn in Obama's side
since February and there is no way for her to come back and win this unless the DNC steals this election from Obama and at that point I will not vote for Hillary or McCain. Obama has wiped her out fair and square and she continues to argue sexism and unfair treatment by the
media she was not complaining when she was winning.This is just
another step closer to shoving the win in her face for starting rally's over sexism that did not take place at all in this election,she beat many men during this race and when she loses she blames it on sexism and pits the women against Obama. She is trying to FORCE the DNC to MAKE her the nominee even though she has lost.I just lose more and more respect for her everyday.

His negative campaigning has really turned me off. At this point, I won't buy what this snakeoil salesmen is selling. The message of hope and change was a good one, but he lacked specifics and promised a clean campaign and couldn't deliver. He said he was above dirty politics while at the same time allowing his surrogates to trash his opponent without the guts to do it himself in a debate. In good conscience I won't vote for McCain but I don't want to be responsible for rewarding the media's champion with the presidency. I'm encouraging all my friends to vote "present" come November.

Marc in Virginia

i believe that we need to address the REAL truth of these campaigns its easy for the american people to see the truth but it is sometimes distorted by the media coverage Hillary Clinton is not the Fighter in this presidential race lets not forget she has been in the white house for 8 years already Her name has and was already like a household name Barack Obama is the underdog he is the one that started from nothing!! He is the one that rose above her negativity, i really got to know Hillary Clinton (republican at heart) .

Finish it Super delegates..... now is the time!

YEAH MCCAIN!
Have you ever wondered why the symbol of the Democrats is a DONKEY- Because you all are that?
MCCAIN GOT THIS...
I have never seen so many dumb people.
LOL KEEP FIGHTING YOU ALL IS HELPING OUR PARTY. LOL

WE are not even worrying about a backfire. We already know Democrats are dumb and lazy. Therefore, I hope Obama win so we can keep the Whitehouse because you all are too DUMB to go vote...lol

MCCAIN 08 P.S. we will rule for another 4years and keep you ALL in your PLACE...lol

SORRY DONKEYS (JACK- – - ) YOU WILL NOT GET THIS ELECTION

Per the CNN delegate counter Hillary will need just about 100% of the superdelegates remaining to vote for her to win the nomination. Try it for yourself. Why is CNN still conveying that Hillary has a chance?

What a story! Hillary had every advantage one could think of to start this race, and yet Obama was able to masterfully out maneuver her. He ran a brilliant campaign, and was able to identify and relate to what most Americans are looking for in a leader. And while there were a couple of moments where he got caught up in the "old politics", one the whole he ran a very principled and dignified campaign. He practiced what he preached, and I think a lot of voters really appreciated that level of directness and honesty. He energized more people than any other candidate, and revolutionized political fundraising.

I'm so proud to have cast my vote for such an historic candidate who will become an equally historic President.

It over for Clintons.whew....

Now bring the fuzzy math caluclator....

Obama I am so happy that you going to be our next president.

Obama deserve to be next president he work hard for everyone to have a future in American regardless of there colors Obama does not look at hisself as black man but as a American that why he win my vote it time for change

Obama 08

hillary is going to make sure that obam looses in the genral election inorder for to run again in 4 years. she uses sexism in order to get elected. hillary is selfish and she wants people to know she is better. hillary is a delusional candidate. she is a loooseerrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. if you really like black people., why don't you help the black man to get elected. you are a racist.

He still can't win the general election. HA HA HA.

Last night Obama was taking some heat for writing off WV and Kentuky. I think this was good strategy. Back in April when he and HRC were battling it out, both of their positives went down and negatives went up. Since focusing on McCain he is soaring in the National polls and staying out of the mud.
Good to focus on the main prize.

When black people get over their skin color (voting for Obama at 90% is clearly racism) then the rest of america will get over the black peoples skin color. Until then, grow up!

I can’t wait for the SNL episode following Hilary’s defeat. I can almost picture it now. In every skit there will be a Hilary impersonator that interrupts, complains about Michigan and Florida, and won’t go away. SHE JUST WON’T GO AWAY

It now appears that it will be up the general election voters to determine what change we can believe in actually means. Whether change springs from rhetoric and manner or whether it arises from character and courage. Whether change follows from replacing one political party with another or whether it depends more on the candidate's national vision. Whether change should be based on superficial appeal or by the content of one's character. And whether, in the end, real change is delivered by inspirational speeches or whether it requires heroic effort and straight talk to produce meaningful and lasting change.

Americans for McCain '08

We are almost there !!! What we and the entire world is dreaming of is about to happen !!! God bless AMERICA !!! OBAMA 2008-2012

It's a sad state of affairs. Obama comes out of nowhere, has done nothing while in Congress and yet people have this lovefest with him. The fact is many people in this country would rather promote a rookie, naive, welll-speaking man to the White House rather than a woman. It doesn't seem to matter that Clinton is intelligent, smart, tough, and would make an excellent president.

But there are many men who just can't stand the idea of a woman as president. They are intimidated by women, and let's face it: men still rule the land and make the rules. It is shameful that the greatest country in the world still hasn't voted for a woman. Take a look around: there are many countries that hire women as leaders.

But noooo. We now have to deal with an un-tested rookie! It's ridiculous. Obama has not proved he can do anything but speak well. Which, I admit is a nice change after Bush, but what bills has he authored while in Congress? Every move Obama has made, has been calculated for this very purpose. He is arrogant to think he has enough experience. Let's just let him go over personally to Iran and see what happens! He doesn't seem to understand the need for diplomacy and how that process works.

After eight years of George W Bush, we have a lot of work to do and we absolutely CANNOT send Obama, who is too young, too racist, too naive to dig us out of the mess that Bush has created.

I have been a democrat for forty years. I won't be voting for Obama. He is not the solution.

It's getting there.

Obama will win the election, but there's a lot of work to be done.

The only reason Clinton won by a "land slide" in Kentucky is because it was predominent "white" voting and they don't want a "African AMerican" as President of the U.S.

Right on Bushies. I will vote the nominee and we all should move forward.

Why are Americans turning to fools?????????????? The useless and brutish media in this country have attacked this woman to favour Obama for almost 16 months and you useless media wants the women folk to support him??? To hell with you American media , We will bring you and Obama and the useless and unreasonable DNC to shame in November . A movement called Democrats for McCain has started and it is growing bigger everyday . YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO HEAVY AND GREAT SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are almost there !!! What we and the entire world dreamed about is about to happen !!! OBAMA 2008-2012 !!!

Black people voted for Obama at 90%. It's very clear that racism is alive and well in black america.

If whites were to vote for Clinton at that rate, I'm sure everybody and their black brother would be creaming from every media outlet.

When will this sad fact be presented to the american public?

Oh well, more useless behavior from the blacks and media bias.

You bet he scores badly with some Democrats. He is as green as the corn in Ohio today. Yes the corn is green, since it hasn't had time to grow yet and mature yet and so is he.

He has spent his life running for one job, obtaining it, then running for another before he establishes a mark.

Let's set him straight and Super Delegates Vote for a proven leader, Vote Hillary.

It amazes me that Clinton always gets the highest percentage of people who think she attacks unfairly yet they vote for her. They also say they share her values. What does that say about those people?

She claims racism did not play a role in the election but sexism certainly did. Anyone who doesn't vote for her must be a misogynist. But if you don't vote for Obama you're not a racist. Please.....if you need anymore proof that racism played a part–look at WV and KY. Both places they say she attacked unfairly yet they still voted for her. If that's the values they share, then i really don't think we need to worry too much about appeasing them.

Even her staunch supporter in PA....big Ed said PA will just not vote for a black man-i don't think he ever said, people in PA would not vote for a woman.

The hillbillies overwhelmingly voted for Hillary and Bill so now Hillary is definitely the HILLBILLY candidate!

Don't ever smile my way, Sweetie. You are not worthy to lead the US of America. No way!!

It is time to put the party together it is over. Why are Clinton supporters so upset. The people have spoken and the both parties should go by the rules. With that said "It is Over"

As a Democrat I was disappointed when the primary dates were changed knowing that my vote would not count towards the primaries. But rules are rules. I think Florida should not count or be seated in the primaries simply because Obama was not on the ballot. I personally did not vote knowing that both candidates were not on the ballot and my vote would not count. If they allow Florida to be seated that would be a real injustice to Democrats, for it does not accurately represent the Democratic vote of Florida. If Obama was on the ballot then I would think that Clinton would have a point.

Obama Obama Obama

I wonder how Proud Michelle is to be an American right now?

America Just handed another 4 years to the Republicans.

Now the Obama's are going to go up against the real Karl Rove.

Buh-bye Barak.

I would like to see a CNN story on how much Obama has spent to "buy" superdelegates compared to how much Hillary has spent on them. I bet it's a lot!

Obama will be the best candidate money can buy if the voters really want a candidate who buys his way into office.

Hilllary is making this election into a farce and the Super delegates know this. Senator Obama has won fairly and has the majority, it is time for her to step down now. Hillary has spent 6 months telling the folks in Florida and Michigan it is Obama's fault their votes weren't counted and though it is a lie, many people believe it because they have heard it from her so often. Of course Hillary will pay for a revote, she has spent months lying about those States votes don't count and now is hoping to cash in. If the Super delegates allow Hillary to steal the nomination there will be a huge backlash and the Democrats will lose in November.

None of this changes my intention to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't
make it...unless she's on the ticket.

John P. Albany, NY

go obama

I will not be voting for BARACK this fall.... He is not the man to lead to this country at this time.... Heck he did not want to be president until JAN 2007 and he was push/ask by OPRAH???? >>> i know that a person who would really want to lead this country and unite the people should take more time to consider what is needed than what OBAMA did... also if he can sit in a church for 20 years and not realize what is going on around him he definitely can lead this country – he wont pay attention... (he has an attention deficit)...this to me show that he will not be paying attention as to what is needed to make every AMErican successful.I want a president that really wants to be president and that will pay attention to what is going on around him/her and truly unite this country. He should not be the nominee just because he can read and write. Period.

Hillary won't quit until she has enough money to pay herself back. That ladies and gentlemen is the bottom line!
She has played every card in the deck and is still losing. Maybe the American people want CHANGE !

Congratulations Mr. Obama. You have done it and proved it in everyway possible.
I request you to not pay off the debts that Hillary made.. that is where corruption starts again.

Our system of government has produced a process- that process has chosen a candidate to represent the Democratic party. It's time to rally against failed policies of the past eight years and rally for the person who we- through the compromises of our American system of government- have chosen.

Morn the loss of your favored candidates- then celebrate the opportunity to put a Democrat in office in November. Anything less is a disservice to the ideals of the party and those who have sacrificed for its success.

As an American Citizen in Canada, 60+White female, I find the low road that Senator Clinton is taking, not only disgraces the Female Sector, but damages all the fights that we had/have to take to achieve respect.
In as not stepping up to the bar and claiming victory, not for herself, but the Party. She claims that she is achieving history. Well, as a Single Parent Senior White Female, who raised my family in dignity and honesty, Senator Clinton, in my/other females I spoke to, she has taken us back some years, in the fact that those "B" words are resurfacing as what women will do and use (Female Negative Media???) In out of desperation and crying female!
We fought long and hard to reach a point that one should be hired on Truth, Dignity and Honesty! Well, Senator Clinton just flushed that right down the lavatory!

Yes, I'm sure he will win...especially with all the MEDIA Bias helping him along. Everytime Hillary Wins...the Media dimishes it anyway they can.

Dose he remind anyone else of a rock star. No disrespect meant! He just reminds me of a rock star.No one specific. I can just see him on stage saying I LOVE YOU IOWA GOOD NIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to start the General!!!

As I watch this race I am very concerned for both candidates. Obama won't will because of bitter woman who hate him for running because they felt it was their turn. However don't let the polls fool you. Obama supporter are feeling generous because they are ahead but if the delegates turn and give this nomination to Hillary. Also Hillary is making the mistake many black candidates made before Obama. She is running as the woman white candidate instead of a candidate for all. If she ran as the candidate for all and 90 percent of white woman voted for her that cannot be laid at her feet. When you pander to woman openly it is feminist. Obama has learned from previous black candidates. Blacks are turned away from black only candidates but one who is accepted by all is monumental.

Its been one heck of a campaign trail, and made for some great entertainment, but congratulations to Sen. Obama for his victory and inevitable nomination. We're with you all the way President Obama!

OBAMA 08-12

i've placed comments over and over and you never take them out of moderation.there's nothing wrong with what i'm saying,and yet you never post my comments,except on cafferty,so ,i'll go blog elsewhere.all 3 comments for this article are mine,so ,i know your not overwhelmed with them.i'm going to the huffington post,from now on.

Don't forget, that Obama also scored a win last night in Oregon, a state with a predominantly white majority. As the presumptive nominee heads toward the general, I hope that the Democrats will come together behind him. Otherwise, it's 4 more years of failed policies and I don't think America can afford that.

For all those Clinton sore losers who want to vote for Mccain because HIllary lost go BRAVE ONE THE REAL MCCAIN.COM AND SEE WHAT YOU'LL GET (yes Obama can)!!!!!!

The Obama camp would like to thank everyone for voting and thank Hilliary for being a good canidate.

But the time has come we are witnessing the rise of Barack Obama our new president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Good news, since I'm an Obama supporter.
But at this point, we should let the remainder of the primaries happen and then declare the winner.

140,000 – 150,000 more voters last night chose Hillary than chose Obama. So now, about 175,000 more Democrats have voted for Hillary than Barfy.

Despite Hillary's big lead, the Good Old Boy professional superdelegates might do the "politically correct" thing and award the nomination to the "Polictically Correct" Guy who trails badly among Democratic voters.

With 75,000 people at Obama's rally you would think he would have won Oregon with more than 14%.

Hillary uses the same kind of Rovian tactics that gave us 8 years of George Bush. Wise up, people!

Those tactics may work in the short run – i.e., to win elections – but then you are stuck with a powermonger who is only interested in his/her own edification.

Please, America, rise above this petty fearmongering style of campaigning. We are going to get the government we deserve.

If Democrate want s to win the November election, in my opinion, Hillary has a better chance. The reason is simple. All Obama's supporters– media people, students, more educated people already showed up in the Primary, but not Hillary's supporters - especially blue collars, seniors, poors. These groups of people will show up in the general election to vote for Hillary or McCain. Four years ago, Democrate also had a very good chance to win the white house, but lost. I hope this will not happen again.

Headlines should read:

HILLARY SCORES HUGE WIN!!! OBAMA LOSES GROUND!!

COUNT FL AND MI!!

The LA Times is reporting that Hillary Clinton is nearly $31 million in debt. The news comes off a release from her campaign Tuesday night that she has raised $22 million:

No wonder Sen. Hillary Clinton was so late filing her required campaign financial reports Tuesday night. Her political team didn't want the shocking news in it to overshadow her lopsided thumping of Sen. Barack Obama in Kentucky.

Now comes the morning after, pay-up time. Clinton's campaign debt has now soared to nearly $31 million, according to numbers crunched early this morning by The Times' campaign finance guru, Dan Morain.

I beg you superdelegates, make your decision now.

The superdelegates could cause the democrats to lose this election come November, please everyone remeber this!

They keep moving the goal post. For defeating Hillary like this, Obama deserves a Medal of Honor! What others couldn't do, he went beyond the call of duty and broke the Clintons' iron grip on the democratic party. YOU MUST REWARD BARACK NOW!

Way to go OBAMA!!!!!!

He is rounding 1st and heading home. Great Job Senator Obama how awesome would it be if everybodies dreams came true. Thanks to you we all know it can happen.

All democrats should be honest and recognize the important milestone that Sen. Obama and the team reached! Time has matured, after 15 months of very intensive and exciting race, which inspired and moblized more voters than ever, to rally around the nominee that has fair and square attained the majority of delegates. We should not pretend that it did not happen, or try to bend the rules every candidate agreed upon before starting this race. It is counter productive to drag this further than necessary, because in this primaries election life cycle, if this race is over stretched beyon this peak we will risk negative consequences! Hopefully Superdelegates and every democrat will recognize that there are natural cycles that every wise or experiences person must recognize and do the right, otherwise all the wonderful things that were gained would lost! This has nothing to do with gender or race. It is best to learn from the past before it is too late!

It amazes me how CNN only uses half of the story in their headlines. While Clinton certainly did win big in kentucky, Obama also beat her in oregon quite handily. I thought the media was suppossed to be impartial? Is this because you are the Clinton news Network, or because the media would love to see this campaing go on and on to make more money?

I wonder if Clinton privately feels bad about some of the people in West Viriginia and Kentucky voting for her because she is white?
I'm a 63 year old white male, and I find it hard to believe that most of those votes were based legitmately on her experience and skill.
The media seems like they are scared to recognize the so-called, "Obama problem" for what it really is. However, personally I don't think it's Obama's problem. It's the peoples' problem who can't see past someone's race. Yes, I think our race relations have improved a little, but these results show their is still more work today. 26% of the voters in Kentucky based their vote on race.

I'm not saying your a racist if you don't vote for Obama. But any rational and open-minded person can look at these exit poll numbers and see that racism is well and alive.

OBAMA – change is coming, for the better.
yes we can

OBama08

What people aren't saying much is that John Kerry also did not do well in Kentucky. It has been leaning Republican for quite some time.

All I can said is WOW!!!!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!!!!

America's world model role is envied by lots of us from the other side of the continent. Hillary should accept Obama's supremacy and watch him defeat Mccean who is already pannicking from his naive obsession with the former's prospective foreign policies

I just want to remind everybody how the Dem. Primary process goes. And it has been this ways for many, many years. The people in each state vote. Each state has a number of delegates that are seated. At the end of the process or until there's only one nominee left (most people drop out due to costs), the delegate count is what determines who the candidate is. Now this popular vote method that Hillary is trying to use is a general election count. SHe knew these rules when she went in. Her own husband went by these rules. She knows the process very well. You don't change rules in the middle of an election. This chaos would happen in every election if she is allowed to do it. Just like every state will break the rules if FL and MI are fully counted. Personally I'll be glad when the DNC gets sick of tiptoeing around her, respecting her, giving her space. I'll be glad when these 2 weeks are over and all of the primaries done so that Obama will be declared the winner, with the delegates giving him the points he needs to reach 2026, and we can get on with the general. Hillary has taken women to the next step of having a female President , along with the other female Presidential nominees. But she hasn't by the rules won this one. I salute all of the female nominees who have paved the way.

ATTENTION: SUPER DELEGATES WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR NOW? PLEASE COME OUT NOW AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO SEN. OBAMA, HE/WE NEEDEE YOU (Super Delegates) RIGHT NOW!

There are plenty of us here in Florida awaiting for Obama to be annonced as the nominee to financally support him, to fight for him and do what we have to do in order to beat McCain in November. If HIllary gets the nomination I don't think we will or can be that suppotative for her, atleast I won't. I will not vote for HIllary or McCain and yes there are alot more feel this way, that is will be unfair and unjust if she gets the nomination when we all can see that Obama has the lead in everything. So please Madam/Sir Super Delegates it is now the time to show your support for Sen. Obama.

Thank you for your kind and prompt considrations, and God bless all of you. Obama 08

I would like to know where to send hillary a calulator.
PLEASE do the math and leave like a lady.

Obama has also lied outright. I could forgive that, after all, he is a politician. However, his attacks are insidious and "inspire" hatred and animosity. He is arrogant and inexperienced (as Bush was in 2000). Read the comments on this site.

It is okay to say "iron my shirt" but "shine my shoes" is intolerable. When someone calls Clinton a bi-, everyone (including McCain) in the audience laughs. When Obama's full name is used, McCain apoligizes though he wasn't in the audience. Yet, the writers (and I use the term loosley) on this site and others believe the media is biased toward Clinton and that sexism and racism has been treated the same.

Obama lost Kentucky because he walks around with an insult ready to sling at the people of small-town America. I have a post-graduate degree; I have never owned a gun; I believe in God but I am sure no one who knows me would say that I cling to my religion; I try to think carefully when I interact with others to ensure that I do not judge them by the wart on their nose instead of their actions. Yet, I am ofended by Obama's comments and his arrogance.

When he made his hand movements and brushed his shoulders, I knew I would never vote for him, no matter what. I am not sure I can vote for McCain but I know I cannot vote for Obama.

Everyone knew that neither candidate would have enough pledged delegates to get the nomination so why is it any surprise that Hillary is still staying in? The superdelegates have votes to cast that are equally legitimate and have always been able to display independent judgement.

C'mon Super D's. 70-75 of you need to make the call NOW and end this nonsense. She can't win the nomination and will not win the general so get her out. Obama will do very well and McCain will fade to retirement. Only a country of morons would vote for a Republican this year.

PS- I'm a Republican who'll vote for Obama!!!

Obama continues to win the most liberal states or states with large black populations. This does not bode well for Democrats in the Fall if he is the candidate. Moderate Republicans will vote for McCain, not someone so liberal, and conservative Democrats will either write in their candidate or stay home. He is far too liberal. I simply cannot believe Democrats are once again chosing to throw away an opportunity for victory.

Unless the superdelegates can push him over the finish line before May 31 Clinton is expecting the DNC to extend the finish line.She is also expecting the DNC to either count the votes in the bogus primaries of Flordia and Michigan as they were cast or having new elections.Some of her big city bosses are willing to pay for the elections.They are hinting that they will take it to the convention if necessary.What a team player.

Thank you voters everywhere, we have our nominee and soon we will have our president..... I just dont know why is ccn so in love with billary..she is old history no matter what she says, and no matter what she uses now.... whether is the gender or race card, or fear tactics.. you name it, next thing she will say is that the votes given to her ex husband should count.. then she can declare victory,

i mean these are the clintons dont forget their hunger for power is greater than anything.. soon she will get chelsea going, she is paving the road for her, they believe this country ought to be ruled by the two families, either bush or clinton..

no more dynasty, please,

if you are still voting for her, that tells alot, that tells you are ok with the ongoing lies, and so is ok for all of us to use lies anytime, anywhere and specially if you are running for the highest post in the US ..........
very sad very sad

she is a pathological liar.. there is no question about that and to forget that and or ignore it,, it is horrible, as we are talkign about our children's future, and our own.......

DISENFRANCHISED FLORIDA VOTERS: BARACK OBAMA IS IN FLORIDA TODAY.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET OUT AND TELL HIM THAT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE HIM BLOCKING RE-VOTES IN YOUR STATE.

GET OUT THERE AND PICKET!!!!

HILLARY!

why does barack obama repeatedly call himself an african american when half his blood is white? is he ashamed of the white blood flowing through his body?i would call his rejection of his white blood racism yet the news media hasn't questioned him or the democratic party about this rejection..i think both obama and the democratic party are eager to be in the white house and want the black vote..if this man rejects his white heritage what will he do if elected ??

Still won't vote for him.

The move is on...

Hillary supporters will not support Obama in November IF he is the nominee. There are websites and emails that have started circulating for this.

Experience is needed at this time in the world. It's either Hillary or McCain. Sorry Obots. Don't take it personal. It is what it is.

This is America. We can vote for who we want and we want EXPERIENCE!

22% in WV and 21 % in KY voted by race which 90 % preferred HC. mmm? interesting!
That means 19-20% of voters, if deducted from the 40-35 % of win margin would make a really reflected issue win of 22-15 percent by any issue standard.
Let's face the reality, Obama did well in these states. He took the High road. no one gives him credit.
Hillary Clinton is taking advantage of two generally atypical states and calling them the voice of America.

I believe many people made up in their minds in 1957 that they would never vote for a "barak obama"....it's o.k. though, because "you" do not speak for america overall....a few states showing their true colors do not speak for me either and i was a mike huckabee supporter....obama won me over....it's sad that it has come to this....it's not about the hardworking white blue collar worker....it has become about race that hillary is exploiting in a subtle way......Oregon is about 95% white, so he can win the vote,,,it's just that pocket of 1957 population that refuse to embrace change for a brighter future.....and anyone who switches to mccain for these issues, don't care about hillary and her message either because she and barak is on the same page....so why would you vote mccain....that's selfish and idiotic.

05/20/08
I am confused about Senator Obama's comment people "going after his wife"? I thought we have the freedon to express ourselves in America? If Senator Obama speaks in a tone that almost sounded threatening, why is his wife willing to be part of his bid for becoming president? I really don't understand his attitude, and found it just a bit alarming when he spoke his feelings regarding "going after" his family. Ms. Obama is free to share her belief and support for her husband, however there is something less than professional for him to speak to the press in a tone that sounded as if the public shouldn't be allowed to have their own ideas about her speeches?
Personally, I don'r feel I would be comfortable with someone being our president, who feels he should be defensive about free speech?

According to the Obama supporters, I guess the 42% of people in Oregon who voted Hillary are racists too!

Hillary!

Hillary obviously has issues reaching a certain block of the democrats. Why all the fuss about who Obama's not reaching? She's behind for a reason...

So, Obama leads in pledged delegates by 150. This looks like it would be what Florida and Michigan score could produce for Clinton, if not for the screwup with not counting these states.

Clinton/Obama 08 has a very good chance to win by landslide in the fall, with Obama having a VP spot for some 4-8 years of on job training

Obama/Clinton won't happen this time, or they will lose, as he is not qualified yet for the top spot, while she is.

Latest Reuters/Zogby Poll puts Obama 26% higher than Clinton; 8% higher than McCain with Clinton and McCain tied. Obama has a 12% advantage over Clinton in Real Clear Politics averages!!

you know what boggles my mind, 1 of 5 voters in both WV and KY said Race played a part in their vote, and these are just the people who would admit this to a complete stranger! That's not my point yet… Earlier this week, Clinton made a comment that sexism has played a negative role in the campaign, crying foul(only thing i have heard is the iron my shirt thing)! She went on to say that race played NO part!!! The numbers do not lie Hillary! Nice try though! I agree with the pundits on CNN, she should rise above this, saying in effect, if you're going to vote for me because i'm white, then frankly i don't want your vote, vote for me based upon my cradentials… nothing more or less. but hey, that's just my two cents.

OBAMA '08

Barack -udaaah!!!

I was actually disappointed with Clinton's show in KY. She should have scored 70% and upwards. In a red neck state that Obama gets 30% is surprising! It is all about spin. Why didn't HRC do better. She needs 70%+ in all remaining contests so why is this a rout??

bho CANNOT CLOSE THE DEAL this FALL

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet ? YES YES YES

I blame the superdelegates for all this drama.

We'll be sure to remember their slow-to-act action come time for their reelection.

Barack should have won by now, what are they waiting for? With each election HRC's theories for winning get wilder and wilder, her supporters get more militant. How on earth are they going to reconcile educated people with racists?

Fuzzy math? Please, My Dear Aunt Sally. Clinton proved her point last night. It is DNC fuzzy math, and I am about to go Independent. She earned nearly 150,000 more votes last night overall than Obamanation. But, of course, that is "meaningless". Pledged delegates is just the DNC's way of telling the populace that their individual votes don't count. This is not a new concept. It is just blatantly more obvious in this Democratic race than in years past.
It is not that I won't vote for Obama just to prove a point. It is that I never liked him, and I never will. He cannot seal the deal. And he is not the popular candidate.

Yeah you are fired up to go and take the most tasking job in the world. You have shown that the content of your character and good judgement makes you outstanding than your rivals to address the problems facing America and the rest of the world. God bless OBama. God Bless America. God bless the world.

Analogy: Isn't the reason obvious? I never heard one reporter say this but could it be possible that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton already have an agreement to be on the same ticket? Even Bill Clinton has lightened up the past 2 weeks.

Obama stays out of Hillary's way as she garners support in WV and Kentucky knowing that they already have a deal in place. She helps bring Appalachia and Arkansas and Obama brings in his swing states. THOUGHTS?

Hey Clinton Supporters:

All of you simpletons who claim they will not vote for Obama and will "either stay home or vote for McCain".

You are a bunch of cry babies. THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST. When you say those things, it just proves you think it is a popularity contest. This is not a sporting event, where you root for the team that knocked your team out.

This is about finding a candidate that holds similiar beliefs and stances on issues.

Grow up!!! If you were for Clinton, then you obviously would be for Obama. Clinton and Obama have VERY similiar views on the big issues.

If you vote for McCain, that doesn't just penalize the Obama supporters, but hurts you as well. McCain would be OUR president. He would be replacing our Supreme Court with more Conservative judges. When he takes away a womans right to choose, don't blame Obama.

And if Obama loses in the general election, don't say "I told you so". It is your chidish actions that caused it. Obama can win and should win, if you clear your head and stop whining!!!!!

even though Obama and John Edwards name wasnt even on the ballot, yet Hillary only managed to get 56% of the vote....

Things are falling line just as there suppose too. Here comes McCain you guys happy now.

I think the Democrats are going to screw this whole thing up and McCain is going to win the election. I don't understand how supporters of Hillary would rather see another 4 years of Republican Leadership over a real change in government. I understand that this fight has been pretty bitter, but please, we all need to come together and support one candidate this November and right now that looks like Obama.

I would just like to say again... How can the democrats screw this up and have the Republicans win after 8 years of Bush.

(Also, Michigan and Florida should not count. One of the problems in this country is we don't hold people accountable for their actions... Seating the delegates at the convention would be a big mistake and what would prevent this situation from happening again?)

FRED- 70 DELEGATES TO AN OBAMA WIN
SHARON MN- Aren't you getting excited?

There are many factors that go into choosing a nominee.
Count Michigan and Florida. Why did Obama block the revote of these two important states. The money was raised for it.
As I've said before......Hillary is not talking to empty seats.....her support is still very strong. Obama is now saying he recognizes her as a champion for women in this counttry. I say "this country" for a reason because many other countries have chosen women as their leaders without making a big deal of it. Stinks of sexism.

Another point.....if the democratic machine had decided to back BOTH candidates, helped with her fund-raising also, not UNDERMINE her campaign by calling on her to drop out of the race AT A VERY EARLY STAGE.....just acted fair and square....the results would be different today. Even so, look how well she has done!

I HOPE SHE TURNS DOWN THE VP SLOT IF OFFERED TO HER.
SHE CAN DO BETTER.....LATER.
MY HILLARY!

For someone that's supposed to be so strong this late in the process he seems to be getting beat worse and worse as time goes by. I'm beginning to think that Hillary would be a stronger candidate than Obama - even though she's not my favorite person overall.

Okay, now let's begin to bring the party together, WE have alot of work to do...................................

"CHANGE is coming"...........................................

Hillary's insistence on herself as 'the better candidate' is absolutely controversial. Did the democratic party take the risk to invest some candidates considered not strong enough to confront a Republican candidate? This is a racist undertone jargon which is apparently detrimental to her and the seemingly wonderful promises she has for America. Clinton of all, cannot afford to take America back to the Jim Crew days

WE"RE ALMOST HOME, BABY..ONLY 73 DELEGATES NEEDED.

OBAMA 08'/12'

We are soooo close! Congratulations President Obama!

I thought both candidates gave speeches with just the right amount of the right stuff. Hillary did not try to divide, and Obama did try to deride. McCain kept quiet, or was overlooked by the media.

History shows that great nations fall from within. So why has there been so much division in this country over the past 30 years. I think it started with Reagan, along with the moral decline of US society. Is that a coincidence?

What path does America want? Need? Division or Unity? That is what this landmark election is all about.

WE have to look byond and end this race swiftly.
We have limited time for the General Election in November.
We have to be preparing for the GOP, and not fight each other.
We all know that Obama is at the finish line, and it's just 70 delegates left for him to be declared the winner.

I think it is high time Hilary just put aside all Negativity and bow down gracefully.
It was her only dream and we could see that slipping and fading away.
Some times we have to do some self examination or reality check and commit ourselves to surrender, which she does'nt want to do.

It is a difficult task for the Clintons to give up easily, and yes we are know that the are a powerful figure in the Democratic party, but we need to end this and know that it is the people who voted and they voted for Obama. We have to respect the will of the people and this is what we call DEMOCRATIC.

One would think that if you were going to be the nominee, that you would win every state going forward. Why cant Obama do that?

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SMART AND KNOW HE WILL NEVER WIN GENERAL ELECTION!!!

His nomination might appear to be inevitable but his victory in the general election is not. It seems like he has a lot of selling to do in order for voters in rural areas and small towns to vote for him. For that matter, he has a lot of selling to do in order for some suburban voters to vote for him. Not all Democrats are as liberal as he and many feel uncomfortable voting for him because he does not share their values.

I am so sick of watching Hillary's victory speeches where she says that it will take 2210 delegates instead of 2026. I guess she figures that if she keeps whining about it, the DNC will appease her to shut her up. Her reasoning for wanting to count votes in FL and MI (besides the obvious) is that she didn't expect so many people to vote in those states despite the fact that they knew their votes wouldn't count. Well, too bad, you agreed to the penalities those states would face. Your campagin manager, when pressed with the same issues in 2004, clearly stated that rules are rules. So, don't give us the BS about disenfranchising voters. Yes, it sucks that the votes in FL and MI may not be counted, but that's those states fault. They knew what they were doing. They knew the penalties and they did it anyway. It's like a little kid being told not to take cookies out of the cookie jar and does it anyway. And a good parent in that situation would punish the child so he learns right from wrong. So, what she's doing is saying, its OK to break the rules....its OK to be a disobedient child...just as long as I benefit from it.

I don't think there's a person in America that would think that if Obama got all those votes that she'd be begging for them to be included.

So, let her finish out the remaining primaries and come in 2nd as expected. Superdelegates are obviously really starting to rally around Obama now and she knows it. She is done and she needs to just go away and start supporting Obama and working to make sure he gets elected in November.

Clinton won by a landslide but Obama won by 20 points... and that is something worth noting especially in a state that is overwhelming white. Congrats to them BOTH!!!

I find it very interesting that more people don't equate Hillary’s mis-management of her campaign with the way she would manage (mis-manage) the country. Hillary did not have a strategy to win the nomination when she started...she has bankrupted her campaign...and she does not have an exit strategy...who does that sound like?
Her management, judgment and decision-making skills for someone vying for the highest office in the country are non-existent. The gas tax was a joke which demonstrates her lack of judgment.

Those that are poor and white are out of sight. That is why they will vote for Hillary, or their second choice, John McCain.

Let the good time role. We are on the verge of history, not only for America but for the whole world. A world where DIPLOMACY can once again shine.........Obama has prove time and time again that he his human. He makes mistakes at times but at least he has yet to show me that he is insane, gun happy or war happy as the the old regime........we need better, we need to open our doors to diplomacy...and lead the world again.........OBAMA HAS shown that's what he'll do......and i'll get as many ppl in my community to make sure he get elected.........not to just make history......but to change how other ppl in middle east and all part of the world who think that we are egocentry bastard that.......americans and pp that lives in this GREAT america........care for the world. LET'S GO BARACK........Mccain four words sir....we don't believ you

Thank you Oregon. You all are truly educated and well inform voters.

Obama '08

I believe Barack is making a strategic mistake. He is leaving Hillary run on those last states without competition, he is not challenging her and that is helping her case.

The match is on his favor, but politics are NOT a clean and fair game, she can still steal the nomination from him. If I were him, I would to to Puerto Rico with Bill Richardson and campaign hard there. I would go to every state and campaign like there is no tomorrow, and even if she wins because the demographics are in her favor, the difference would be small, not the 35/40 percent she is getting now without competition.

It has been informative to watch the Clinton/Obama contest for many reasons, not the least of which is the effort each puts to manipulate the voice of the voters. The Democrat party is revealed (again) for its inability to conduct fair elections. The Democrat rules allowing for superdelegates to thwart the will of those who voted in primaries is simply mind-boggling for a party that claims to represent "the people." The rules requiring disqualification of the votes of Michigan and Florida, and subsequent efforts by the Clinton campaign to backtrack on those rules based upon the results of votes in a primary that was declared ahead of time not to count. Apparent attempts by the Clinton campaign to get so-called "pledged" delegates to ignore the will of the voters of their states and vote for Clinton at the convention. It just goes on and on.

Think back now to the 2000 Florida fiasco and, in the light of this Democrat campaign, and examine who was responsible... It was Democrat-controlled counties who designed the butterfly ballot, and it was those counties alone that Democrats wanted to recount. It was Democrat judges who threw the lawsuits out of court, only to be overruled by a Democrat-controlled Florida Supreme Court.

Never let it be said that the Republicans interfere with elections after what we have seen from teh Democrats.

Before all you "I'll vote for McCain instead" Democrats start sounding off, do our country and party a favor. Realize that in November there will be an election for President Yes President. Don't confuse this with American Idol. If you’re a Democrat that votes Republican then you’re either a trader or an idiot, and I suggest having some cheese with that whine.

So he got the majority of delegates. What is that symbolic of, or is it just another way for cnn to boost obama. Maybe cnn dose not know what symbolic means.

HILLARY IS CLEARLY THE MORE ELECTABLE DEMOCRAT!!!

OBAMA TALKS ABOUT FEAR AS A GOP TACTIC BUT HE IS USEING IT TO CLINCH THE NOMONATION,!! IF SUPERDELAGATES CLEARLY LOOKED AT THE RACE THEY WOULD SEE HILLARY IS THE MORE ELECTABLE, MORE QUILIFIED CANADATE.. bUT THEY DONT BECAUSE THEY ARE SO AFRAID TO BE CALLED RACEIST, OR EVEN MORE AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THEY DENY OBAMA THE NOMANATION!! BUSH WON ON FEAR IN 2004 AND OBAMA WILL WIN ON FEAR IN 2008.. ISNT HE SUPOSED TO BE ABOUT CHANGE…

SUPERDELAGATES HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT DO THEY FEAR MORE?? 4 MORE YEARS OF GOP RULE AFTER THERE MAN CRASHES IN THE FALL, OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THEY CHOSE THE MORE ELECTABLE, MORE QUILIFIED CANADATE…

**HILLARY 2008**

OR

**CLINTON DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN**

SUPER DELAGATES YOU CHOOSE…

ITS A DONE DEAL. THE GAME IS OVER. CLINTON ENJOY THE BBQ ON THE WHITEHOUSE LAWN ONCE YOU GET YOUR INVITE.

good. lets get this wrapped up already.

This game is about delegates, and Obama is in the lead. The bottom line is the Obama camp played the delegate game fair.

Obama '08

Congratulations to her. With the male establishment in the senate working actively against her it was a big achievement. McCain in 2008.

Good news ... just sorry that Obama did NOT campaign in Kentucky to close the gap. We knew Clinton would win, but he could have made several appearances.

I am an Obama supporter!

Congrats to Hillary on her big win. But so did Obama as well last night. In fact he had two when he received all the delegate he need to make it almost impossible for her to win now.

I find it funny how CNN and so many others seem to forget so easily that despite her two big wins, OBAMA has had more than twice her amount of big wins, and one or two "Hillery Who?" victories as well.

It's a contest so you win some and you lose some. But he/she that wins the most deserve the prize.

Inevitability is the right word. Sounds good on ya Barack! He blunted Hillary's win in Kentucky (YEEHAW! Dam, ah spit baccky juice on ma boot.) by winning Oregon decisively. I love that he went to Iowa to claim his victory because Iowa is where it all started for him and ended for her. Way to go Barack!!!

Obama/Sebilius '08!! – Can he win this? YES HE CAN!

Well the writing is on the wall Clinton supporters, its probably not going to happen but let's stop with the in fighting. I am really tired of Clinton supporters saying he took this election away. How can you have a lead in states, delegates, vote and superdelegates... but be stealing it? Let's be honest about certain things; she had the advantage and lost. She in the beginning had the name recognition, the money, and the support. But as she continued to run it dwindled away and she lost it. She had the African American vote, but due to her and Bill's comments and the comments of their surrogates, it made a lot of people view the Clinton's negatively when it comes to race (Also, when they did exit polling in WV and KY people admitted that race was a factor in their decision. I'm not saying all Clinton supporters are racist, but you have to admit some people do think that way). And, instead of really apologizing for it, they just said it wasn't true and it was misrepresented. Also, Clinton started the race with high negatives, so its not like the media turned on her, people already didn't like her to begin with and she never did much about that until she was losing. Thirdly, about this "experience" what are we talking about? Being First Lady does not a President make. She is running on the "remember the good ole days when my husband was President?" Just because Bill was a good leader, doesn't automatically make her one either. Being in the Senate a long time makes a good politician, but that has nothing to do with integrity, commiment, honesty, and judgement. If you think Obama is just empty messages and rhetoric, then you have been watching too much CNN and MSNBC sound bites to realize, if you go and do the research he's had his policies online. He does Town Hall meetings and answer questions. He has been in the debates answering questions. So, you just want to that MORE than half of the Democrats are infactuated and mesmerzed by some wayward "snake-oil salesman"? No, maybe more than half of us are tired of the way things work and want a new direction and someone else who hasn't been in Washington long to give a new and fresh prespective. I'm not saying he's not a politician, but if nothing else, he's at least elevated the way it works in Washington.

Now if you, as a Clinton supporter, base your judgement of Obama on the hundreds of his supporters on blogs, you really need to get out more. The words and deeds of Clinton are the only things I judge her on, not those supporters on the blogs, they are only snap shots. Because then I would think she was this bitter, unintelligent, uninformed, and maybe sometimes racists, but I don't. I think she is a smart woman, just not the woman for this job, this time. Democrats in general need to think big pictures, not small egos.

CNN needs to pay closer attention to the world that is not nearly so polarized as they present. I know that FOX news gets ratings, but that doesn't mean you have to play to the lowest denominator.

And, the slaves to CNN are the partison commentators, both professional and those who I tend to read commenting on these articles. Stop feeding the monsters of contentiousness.

I find it amazing that with 90 percent common ground, we can still talk about about the 10% of disagreement 90% of the time. Let's get back in proportioin. You can help and so can CNN.

If Barack is supposed to be so highly favored, why is Hillary still winning contest by landslides. Obama will never become President.

Enough already. Billary has done enough damage to the party. She has devided the country between racist-ignorant America and the new tolerant-bright America. Change is only months away and I advice those who are blinded by hate and racism to seek help and open up to a new page despite their venom.

08ama, change we can believe in

That Obama was going to be annointed the democrat nomination was obvious to anyone that is half way intelligent. The democrat primaries were designed so that the elders and proffesional politicians really have the ultimate say so who gets the nod. Unless one canidate completely blows the other ones away the top dogs can justify who they want. I am an independent and have voted democrat as much as republican but after watching this obvious fraud I will vote republican for the rest of my life. At least there I get some say in who will be the nominee.

Oh boy we are getting close!!!!! June 4th and this should all be over and on to the big fight. I hope all HRC supporter can over come their feeling and vote for a new direction. Most Americans want America on a different course and Obama will be at the helm. I am ready. Are you?

Congratulations to Senator Obama !

This is a hollow "milestone" without Michigan and Florida counted.

Way to go Barack, Yes We Can!

FINALLY WE CAN WRAP THIS UP
BUT WATCH I HEAR SHE WANTS ALL THE AMERICAN IDOL VOTES IN FLA AND MICHIGAN TO COUNT TOWARDS HER
BUT I HOPE THEY GIVE YOU THE 235.000 VOTES IN MICHIGAN THAT PEOPLE CAME OUT AND VOTED FOR UN COMMITTED
THAT MEANS NOT HER
GO OBAMA

He's no closer now than he was over the weekend. He's had the numbers wrapped up sinse Texas. It all comes down to whether the party will do something shady to take it away from him at this point.

Its really too bad he couldn't lock it in earlier because Hillary is really damaging the Democrats in November right now.
1) Consistent implications that he's not electable.
2) Running up debt that his campaign will eventually have to pay for rather than spending it against McCain.
3) Pushing racial division.

...I only hope that if Obama does lose in November people remember Hillary's role for the rest of her life.

Way to go! What a great day! What a great speech! He really laid out an effective argument and was VERY gracious to Senator Clinton.
OBAMA 08

As a life long dem I will back McCain in the fall and push people I know to do the same. The media pushs Obama with no experience to the people. Many of us dems want experience so bad to run this country that we will go with McCain if Obama is the one who wins over Hillary. Its that simple.

Listen up, Hilary, it's time to release the Democratic party. The longer you hold the hostage, the hard you will crash and burn.

THAT'S WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT!!

OBAMA 08

Great, maybe now Hillary will drop out so the news media can stop it with their phony punditry. She lost this thing way back in February and the media is just now catching up to that fact.

Sorry Hillary, you ran a terrible campaign. You deserved to lose. The Clinton 'legacy' is all but dead now.

What happens if the African American vote stays home? I hear all the debate about the middle age white vote. It seems that once again, the Democratic Party takes the African American vote for granted. Since race has been such a large factor, will African Americans vote for Hiliary? I would love to hear that debate. I truly hope that we can get beyond race, age , and gender and consider a vote just a vote.

Hill, pack it in and try to pay what you owe. It was over a long time ago. When will you figure out what we already have?

This has been the very worst candidate presented by the DNC, Obama.
He has been shoved down our throats from the get go..we are sick of it and him. We will never, ever vote for him, NEVER!
The MSM has been BRUTAL to Senator Clinton and Obama supporters are the most hate filled cruel lot of FOLKS ever . Worse than Rove republicans!
Hillary Clinton makes Obama look like the untrained puppy that he is.

Barack Hussein Obama the worst thing that ever happened to America.
Even his mentor WRIGHT the 20 year pastor to BO could no longer care about the lying politician Obama.

Another lie against Hillary by the media. It's Obama and his cronies that have attacked Hillary and her family unfairly, right out of the Republican playbook. Quit making up your lies about Hillary you pro-Obama jerks.

This is great news for the Democratic party as a whole! I am an independent voter that leans towards the Democratic party for their values and policies. But I must tell you all (Obama and Hillary supporters) that this fighting has started to put me off. I would love to see EITHER of them, because when you look at the facts... they are both going for the same thing. I want this country put back on a good course and I think a Dem in power is the first step. Reps have had there turn and it hasn’t been the best... to say the least. All this Hillary or McCain, or Obama or McCain non-sense it just dumb!!! If you are that immature that you would do something like that and vote for the completely DIFFERENT values of what you are hoping for because... you should just stay home. It is that kind of thinking that will be your down fall and just aid to the down fall of our great nation. Wake up people; believe in the message... not the messenger!

Since when did Kentucky become a swing state for Democrats? It is on nobody's metric for a democratic win in November. W Virginia, maybe, but Kentucky no way. I live in Cincinnati and work in Kentucky and am actually surprised it was that close... Almost every Kentuckian I know would resist voting for a black man, or a woman for that matter, in the General election. If McCain won only one state, I would guess it was Kentucky.

Beware of "THe Clintons", they are not to be trusted.....

Beware the Republican are out playing us in chess.

Beware Hillary Clinton will not pay off her debts...

Beware of the Clintion lies and end game.

What else is new, she's in a corner and taking a swing at whatever she can to stay in the game...Hill go home, get out now and stop destroying the party...this ruthless attitude is not serving any American, but your own interests!

OBAMA '08!!

I just heard Gary Hart's comments this morning. He said that Democratics will vote for Obama vs McCain. I wonder why Obama fans might jump ship and vote for McCain instead.

On the other hand, if Clinton is not the nominee, I will vote for McCain. The reason for this is, "experience vs experience." When given the choice of Obama with his "lack of experience" and McCain with his many years of experience, the choice is clear.

That's my take on this. Those important people giving their opinions on CNN who say that Democratics will vote appropriately for their given Democratic nominee, are so wrong.

If Obama gets in, McCain will win.

Anne

I wonder if she will keep her word and ralley behind Obama since she has spent the last 8 months saying he is not git for the job, and that Obama cant beat McCain.....

If she is so much stronger, than why cant she beat OBAMA? Stop crying and trying to change the rules after the game started, then complaining about people being sexist. It was all fair game when the media was talking about Rev Wright, but now that she's lost, she want to start crying... GROW UP HILLARY and tell your racist supporters to grow up to!

Thats my president:)

Don`t worry about those older, white and blue-collar voters they have a hard time excepting the fact that a black man will inevitably become president, and for them thats a bit of a pill to swallow.

You will prevail for God is on your side:)

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT:)

Well, the TV media are now taking a sweeter, more benevolent tone toward Sen. Clinton this morning, now that they believe they've effectively handed Obama the nomination. So did Sen. Obama in his speech last night.
Sen. Obama may win, but the news media has certainly lost.
And Sen. Obama has his work cut out for him. Re-gaining the demographic he and some of his followers alienated during the campaign won't be easy. Scathing, vitriolic and often blatantly sexist insults toward Sen. Clinton have permeated these comments to politico articles in the past months.
Actually, it reminds those of us who remember the hatred to which Martin Luther King was subjected during the magnificent civil rights movement year ago. I think it's a sign she's a genuine patriot who's accomplishing far more than meets the eye for her country.

Obama, Obama, yes we can, yes we can....and did! Supers...get with the program and shut this thing down!

Obama '08

Clinton will never get the African American vote AGAIN. So her presidential goals are meaningless.

She couldn't find an African American to use as a prop behind her victory speech, so she had to interject a story about an African American woman. She will say and do anything to win. She is selfish, and self-centered and the only person she is fighting hard for is herself. I feel sorry for her gullible voters.

Good for Hillary Clinton. However, Obama has won many more Primaries and Caucuses with higher percentage points. And, yes, CAUCUS STATES DO COUNT. They are American just like the rest of us, andTHEY FOLLOWED THE RULES AND VOTED WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO SO. I love the way some people like to pick and chose who counts depending on how it works in their favor.

GO OBAMA!!!! WE ALMOST THERE,TIME TO GET READY FOR THE GENERAL ELCETION,I JUST HOPE WHEN CAMPAIGNING STARTS IN THOSE HARD STATES DEMOCRATS WILL COME TOGETHER !!

You are almost there Senator O. 2025 is within inches of your reach, stay strong, because your support will always be there.

Clinton's campaign suppressing the new amount of $31 debt the campaign owes is right up there on this story line. Let's use that money for candidates who have statistical chances in November.

I bet she doesn't include Oregon in the popular vote since it's a mail-in primary. Then she'll say her win in KY has catapulted her ahead in popular vote. She's already dismissed the caucus states and include states in which he couldn't run and/or wasn't even on the ballot.

I was just watching the news and saw Sen. Webb and he said that the Apalaction people are his people and that Obama has been saying good things and he can truly change if he gets this voter block. that being said. Watch he will be the VP and watch what happens true CHANGE watch america.

Obama/Webb or Obama/Sebelious. Either way those two people will be in his admistration. Let's go america.

Let's look at what we have in common because 'Different is not difficient"

The real presidential race is between Obama and Clinton because the winner will be the president thats why Clinton hasn't given up.

Watch I tell who ever is the Democratic nominee will be the next president but neither will be the VP.

God Bless America.

BTW. Look up the Race Chasm and it helps explain Obama problem which will be solved by Nov.

Folks, add up the votes from the two states which voted on Tuesday: You have Hillary with about a 200,000 vote win. That's momentum???

CNN-does john king ever get to sleep?he's been standing at that map,for about a week,now.does he at least get to sit down ,ever?

i hope Obama finishes the line soon im so proud of his accomplishments!!! he will make a great president America, just vote him in and see!!!
hillary youve done a great job in campaigning ., i just dont see the super delegates turning against the will of the people??? im sorry but i think it wil be Barack no matter what happens.

Obama 08

Republicans fear Obama. They fear him so much they asked Republicians to act like Clinton supporters to break us up. Educated Democrates knows better.

hey idiots there is no finish line! just like mccain is the presumptive nominee for the republicans the only thing leading in delegates means is you go into the convention as the favorite. this does not mean you end up the nominee in the end.

This proves the point that Obama is not fit for the job and many people consider this more a popularity contest than a hiring decision. This is not high school folks, Obama is not ready for the job. He should not have run but now that he has, if he can't handle the heat, then get out of the race. I am tired of Obama supporters and the whining.

Hillary or McCain

No Bi-Obama

I won't be a finish line until the convention.

president obama looks very happy,in the picture.

good job, senator

Obama/Clinton '08 – is there really any choice?

Interesting that Obama talks about uniting the entire country yet completely ignores the primaries of the last 3 States. I guess his country doesn't include Kentucky or Oregon, as he was too busy to visit even Oregon last night.

The West is Obama Country. We all work together out here.

Yes We Can.
Democrats 08.

IT IS OVER, WHETHER THE LADY IN THE PANTSUIT SINGS OR NOT!!!!
