CNN

They may be ignorant, but they ain't stupid.

well I am one Hillary supporter that doesnot think she is attacking unfairly and wish she would do more

Politics, by its very nature, has always been unfair.

But Hillary Clinton takes it to a new level. And that's why she's losing!

Most of you don't understand that threats won't get you anywhere. Sure most of you say that you won't vote for Obama if Hillary isn't on the ticket. That's ok. Most of you crossed from voting republican and voted for her, just to get her in and him out. Didn't work. No weapons formed shall prosper. I am a black american and most of us that are over 40, didn't utlize the option of a college education. Which means that we were hard factory working (black americans).until they went overseas. So most of us are use to struggling. I am not saying that white american don't struggle. I just think that the idea of that happening again, won't be ovewhelming. It's like a been there, done that type of situation. No noone want to struggle all their life but if people choose to try to dictate you life by what they want, be careful. The hole that you dig for someone else, could become a pit for you!!!!!!

I've said since Day One that Ms. Clinton has been making a big mistake by attacking her opponents. Instead of focusing on her own strengths and accomplishments she has insisted on getting down in the mud and slinging it . . . to her detriment. She doesn't have to play dirty to win; apparently she is going to learn that playing dirty has led to her defeat. I dare say that ego and her feeling that SHE was the presumptive nominee has also led to her decline.

All these looser bloggers have nothing to do but talk about Obama, Hillary, McCain. You dorks are unpaid campaign staff and not normal people. Geeks.

Her campaign did use some dirty tactics earlier on but has calmed down on that front recently.

You really can't blame white folk in Kentucky and WV for banding together for a candidate that looks like them. As a person of mixed heritage that was born in America, I understand that having someone that doesn't look like you as a leader can sometimes be to your disadvantage.

But once again, Barak's "bitter" comment comes to fruition.... "Bitter" people... "Poor" people... "cling" to what they know. Whether it be guns, religion, race, or region.

We need someone in the White House that will allow us ALL to be less "BITTER"!

The same old politics...............And this is why,

America Is Ready
Obama 08

Why is it that people are not looking to t he person most Qulified to hold this office . Why Why Why....Hillery is the Only one that can help us get our country back.

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

Americans for McCain '08

Jordan from SD:

You may be right in some respects concerning the media being biased, but I highly doubt that Obama is "buying" superdelegates. So far, the American people have voted and results have been tallied. Whoever the eventual winner is, and I think it's pretty clear, should energize the Democratic party to unite behind that nominee in order to get the Republicans out of the White House. I also think that should Obama become the nominee, he should make his own choice as to V.P.

It's simple human nature – easier to ingest Clinton's low-brow garbage than it is to engage in the effort needed to lift one's head up for a moment and think beyond life that unfolds on the cover of the National Enquirer.

Every time she opens her mouth she turns more people off. Even her supporters are sick of listening to her. The best thing the Democratic Party could do is force her to withdraw from the race. We are lucky we have a person like Obama to save us from four more years of the Clintons.

Obama 08 YES

To Bucky – I guess State caucuses don't matter to you like they don't matter to Senator Clinton. They are still Americans voting for the candiate that they want in the Fall. When they are counted, he has more delegates. Why is Senator Clinton always trying to change the rules mid game?

Clinton you are hurting the democatic party something seriously and I know you are doing this intentionally. I would never vote for you and will advocate for others not to vote for you either. NO MORE LYING TO THE PEOPLE. OBAMA IS BLACK/WHITE

Why is hilary trying to use 2 majorly RED STATES as some sort of proof that she can win? wow she won WV and KY... umm she does realize she wont carry either of those in a november election right, hell for that matter TX either.

Obama had the most awe inspiring speech? He stuttered and stammered all the way through it. It pains me to listen to him.

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.
I wonder if Clinton privately feels bad about some of the people in West Viriginia and Kentucky voting for her because she is white?
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 to be done. About 26% of the Democratic voters in Kentucky based their vote on race.

"The Clinton Legacy?" Bill Clinton's legacy is eight years of peace and prosperity. Despite $70 million worth of investigations and every possible flaw revealed (how many of us would fare as well), prosecutors and political witch-hunters came up empty-handed. The best they could do was a tacky affair.

Sen. Clinton, however, has a rich history of public service since her high school and college days. She has worked to improve education, health care, and legal rights for the disadvantaged. She was a real college professor; didn't just play one during the campaign. Despite efforts to paint her as untrustworthy with distortions and false accusation, she has kept her focus on helping women, children, families, and minorities. She has proven that she has actually read the U.S. Constitution and been a consistent defender of due process and equal protection.

Even though it's clear that she is human and capable of mistakes, that isn't such a bad legacy. You don't make many mistakes when you're only committed to being "present."

It is time we see a man as a man or a woman as a woman. Whether be white, black, male female or any race or gender. We have come a long way no need to look back we owe this to our children. Out of many we are one. This is what all democrats should be saying. We cannot afford to push this country down the drain because we are so blinded by our own selfish ways. If that’s the seed we want to sow then that’s the fruits we are going to reap come November.

Would we want to see more of our children taken from us by a senseless war? Do we want to see the cost of living slipping from our reach? Do we want to see a continued increase in gas price? Come on Democrats wake up. Who ever win Obama or Clinton they have my vote. This is not about a person it is about policies.

This was why we all came to the promise land the "Great America". If you are a true Democrat you will do the right thing come November. God bless America.

Let me also say for all the talk about BHO and if it was not for the "black" voters, the exact same thing is going on with HRC and the "women" voters as well and the last I read was the vast majority of HRC's "women" voters are by far the largest part of the group that vow not to vote for BHO when he wins the nomination! Sexism in this primary is equally as bad as racism in this primary.

I cannot vote for criminals, sorry Hillary.

Hillary has too much desperation on her face. Who wouldn't want to be catered to, living in the White House. Her first verbal impression that I tunned into, before I made my decision, was her use of the word "I . . . ", "I . . . ", "I . . . ", and not enough of "We . . . " We should be the center of attention, not just 1 person who is trying to get into the White House.

It only solidifies that there still exist Racism in small Pockets in the USA. It also explains that we have a lot of work to do with Racism in general and really have no voice or opinions when we discuss issues like this abroad.

How can you talk to others about it when, you still have the same issue in your own country.

Well to all you who are going to vote for the third Bush term policy because Clinton is not going to win are full of it! Clinton and Obama policy are nearly identical so why would you vote for the Republican policy that clearly has this great nation in a total mess? I can't think of anything else but racism and gender. Women are angry and would rather vote to screw this country up more because a woman lost in the primarys and some White because they don't want to see anyone that is not their color. That is why this country is in the mess it's in now. I for one well not vote for a Republican this election or the next. This Independent is voting Democrat regardless of who is on the ticket.

How someone can vote for a candidate who is not able to manage her financial campaign?

You know.....it is so sad that we Democrats have allowed ourselves to be torn apart like this. It also showed me that we aren't as progrssive as we often claim to be.

Understandably, each candidate has their supporters who strongly believe he or she is the best for the country. It seems that Obama will secure the nomination so we all have to get off our high horses and unite to defeat the Republicans in the general election. All of thos sayig they won't vote, if their candidate is not the nominee are just playing into the GOP's hands. We need to come together and prevent another Bush term.

If you stay home because your candidate is not the nominee, then you should keep your mouth shut when we go through another Bush term that includes: an extended war, getting rid of a woman's right to choose and civil rights challenges. Can you really call yourself a Democrat by acting this way? I know because I was saying the same thing in January and I had to come to my senses that we need to unite behind the Democratic nominee to win the White House.

Look, stop taking this nomination race personally because Obama and Clinton are the ones running this race not you and I. Too many people are attacking each other personally and acting with a grade school mentality. Get off your high horse and try to work together. I just hope we can come together in the end.

That's laughable. The only attacks I hear are attacks on Dubya and McCain. GIVE US A BREAK!

To JORDAN from SD: The Clintons expected the black vote from day one. They felt they were entitled to it since Bill was the "first black president". Hillary is who Hillary is. The media has nothing to do with it. Before the primaries ever started over 50% of the country did not like or trust her. The baggage she so proudly proclaims is all out there is exactly why she would never win the general election. She is old school politics, morphing herself weekly as the polls dictate. First she 's strong and experienced, then soft and found her voice, now she's being treated unfairly by a sexist media. It's all just to get the vote, not to help us. If she's been working for 35 years to help women and the poor, she's done a lousy job.

Response to "voice from another continent": you are SO right. I am so amazed by the people here who vote only on their emotional connection to a candidate. If you asked them where the candidate stands on some of the issues, many of them would not have a clue. They either love a candidate or "hate" them, vehemently, and let's face reality–we don't even know these people. Because of the media, it has become more of a popularity contest. Bush got elected because people perceived him as a regular guy–one of them, so to speak. This was far from reality. Talk about elitest! Born with a silver spoon, elite schools, never had to serve in the armed forces or even do his required time in the reserves...he's not remotely like any of us regular folks. Both candidates have books, autobiographies, websites–there is so much information out there to help us make an intelligent choice. Instead votes are cast based on emotional response to 30 second ads on television. If people would think about it, we would not be hearing a democrat say they would vote for McCain. It's so absurd.

CLINTON OR MCCAIN "MOVEMENT" ... are actually the idiotic republicans on this site trying to make ruccus.

You never see republicans posting isnt that funny? only "clinton or mccain supporters"

To everyone who supports Senator Clinton that say they will not vote for Barrack is simply following their hearts and it displays what they fell about race relations in this country. It also so speaks with volume what they feel about a person of color being able to hold the nations highest office. So think about it America are you saying what I see in the underlining of their support and words. How can there be change if those who refuse the idea of change. Barrack is good enough to serve in the senate but not the whitehouse. The land of the free and liberty and justice for some or is it for all.

*biting my tongue* To Hillary supporters....Blacks voting for Obama is not racist. It is not racist because they are voting for someone who understands their culture, someone from their community...unlike many Whites in West Virginia and Kentucky. They are only voting for Hillary because they refuse to vote for an African American. That is racist. Please understand the difference. Many Blacks are voting for Obama for the very reason many women are voting for Hillary.

Of course she is going to unfairly attack Obama, that is what someone who is losing does. She is done, and she knows it, there is no reason for her to continue on.

She is a Clinton and believes that she deserves the oval office, well she is wrong. Her mickey mouse math using Florida and Michigan is not even enough to get her by. She needs to act like a lady who knows it is time go, and exits politely.

Many Clinton supporters don't even know what the issues at hand are. If you call yourself a "Democrat" you should stand by your party. If everyone actually listened to what both candidates are saying its relativly the same thing.

Let's face it America many of the people saying "I will never vote for Obama" are really saying "I will never vote for a black man." Thats the society we live in.

And all this "Clinton has gotten a majority of the blue-collar white voters" what does that really mean? So white people are are the only hard workers in America? I know alot of hard working black people in America and they are not voting for her! And guess what: OREGON IS ONLY 2% BLACK!!!

McCain = Bush = War in Iraq = $4 GAS = Recession

Oh yeah thats right...we are in an ECONOMIC SLOW DOWN...what was I thinkin!

So good luck voting for McCain Clinton supporters...and may GOD help you.

Hillary '08 – its not fair the way the media is treating her. Stop it now

No disrespect to Senator Clinton, but the ticket should be Obama -Biden.

It's always interesting to read the "I'll vote for McCain over Obama" idiots. You'd vote for someone so significantly different from Hillary simply because you think you don't like Obama. This isn't for prom king or queen. Please use the issues when voting!

Obama '08
or
Hillary '08

Anyone with policies aligned with the likes of G.W. Bush (hint hint McCain) shouldn't even have a chance at the White House!

Those of you who said you will not vote for Obama if he is elect as the democratic candidate are not true democrat. You are all comfortable with the way the country is running under the Bush Admin. Vote for Mccain, join the Army and go to Iraq and return home in a casket. You will be miss by your mom and dad and the counry forget you within two weeks.

What do you expect from a crooked, corrupt, power hungry, back stabbing and lying peice of crap. HAS EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT WHITEWATER? HAS EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT ALL THOSE CROOKED AND CORRUPT THINGS SHE HAS DONE IN HER YEARS IN POLITICS? Her and Slick Willy are almost as bad as BUSH. Not quite but almost as bad. She basically reading right out of Carl Rove's tatics book.

Bill B of MD, your comments and thoughts are the closed racist type. Are you trying to say that the only reason a (white) person would not vote for Obama is because they are racist? Can you tell me 3 things you know that Obama will do for you if he comes into the Whitehouse? I can think of at least two that scar me, Communism and a Welfare State. It is not because he is black. It is because he is an ultra liberal and he hasn't got a plan. Jimmy Carter is a great example of what we are in for if Obama wins. I am sure he is a fine person and an eloquent speaker. But that never put bread on anyone's table or peace in anyone's backyard. Open up your mind and give it some thought.

Why isn't anybody talking about her campaign being 31 million dollars in debt

I think Hillary should tell voters that she doesnt need their vote if they are voting for her because she is white. But this same standard does not apply to Obama, he doesnt need to tell black voters not to vote for him because he is black. You see, black people have been voting for white candidates since it became legal for them to vote. There is no track record of bias when it comes to black voters however, in this election people have come right out and admitted to racial bias and actually voted in a way that substantiated it.

Those voters realized she had to fight back against the media that was strongly for Obama and the attacks on her for being a Clinton.
They were beating up on her. BUT........those of you who followed the race know that while obama himself was sounding condescending to Hillary and making himself look like a nice guy on the podium, his campaign staff was beating the heck out of her......it was no secret.
Her supporters understood this and stuck with her.

Don't get it twisted, Obama is Black so he should not be running this country. Only White people should run this country, because we know better.

No fry chicken or waterMelon in the white house.

McCain is the man.

Lets Face it if Florida and Michigan's votes counted she would of done won..................................If He wins it wil be once again because of Florida. Hillary all the way.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hillary just can't "get" that she and the Clinton machine are the cause of her failure. Not Obama; not the "sexist" press. Although she has agreed to tone down her attacks on Obama, she is still trying to undermine him by trotting out various surrogates to blame sexism. She hopes this will produce a hardening of her supporters against him. To accomplish what? The Clinton fatigue is so palpable that she can not be resurrected in 2012. The best she can hope for is a graceful exit and a key appointment by a forgiving Obama.

Hillary supporters who would vote McCain really make me wonder. I mean, they're darn near polar opposites in terms of politics. Why would you flock to Hillary and then flock to McCain? Either they REALLY want a female president or they're utter racists.

Next time you see a Hillary supporter who says they will vote McCain if Obama gets the democratic nomination, ask them what they liked so much about George W. Bush, and how comfortable they would be if he was in power for another four years, because that's what they're getting with McCain.

Well..Clinton played politics. Everything is fair in politics. She did what politicians have been doing for long.

Obama came as change agent and made people realize about unfair attacks. So, when Clinton attacked Obama this year- people realized that.

Even Helen Keller can see the Clinton plan is "If I am not the nominee I will gaurentee Obama will not win the presidential election". Plain and simple Obama can win this, he is winning this. Do not think for a single second that HRC does not realize that the longer she stays in this race for the nominee, that she cannot win, the ONLY thing she in actuality is doing is pushing her supporters away from BHO and more importantly the democratic party. She has the ability to bring her supportters together and speak well of BHO and she just refuses. there is a word for that and it is selfish! And lastly we keep reading about 40-50% of HRC supporters will vote either for McCain or not at all is infantile! for ANY democrat to vote for a 3rd term of Bushanomics out of spite is also infantile.

Hillary is just a typical politician. She will never change the country in a positive way. She is all about herself.

OF COURSE THEY ADMIT THAT SHE ATTACKED UNFAIRLY . BY STILL VOTING FOR HER THEY WANT TO DRIVE THE POINT HOME THAT THEY DON'T CARE, SHOWING THEIR LACK OF STANDARDS AND CHARACTER. THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. THEY'RE REALLY PATHETIC.

The reality is that both candidates are similar in their views so the only reason to hate Obama so much is that he is black. Democratic Obama haters need to confront their racism. Both candidates would be fine Presidents...and to suggest that anyone who vote for Mc Cain over Obama is just plain racist.

Obama has won the democrat nomination. For those democrats who support Hillary and won't vote for Obama, I hope you are in the top 1% of the wealthy and don't depend upon someone else to sign your pay check. So may I suggest you rethink voting republican.

I really don't appreciate the people who want to throw out caucus votes. It may not be the best way – but that's just too bad. I
stood there for 2 hours to support my candidate and did thousands of others who had caucuses.

I don't want to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan either, but please have some respect and don't disenfranchise us!!!!!

My VOTE, my ONE vote COUNTS! You can't just pick and chose which ones you want to count. That's why we vote in the first place!

How stupid is that? The voters say she is attacking the black man unfairly, however, that did not prevent them from supporting the white women!!

What makes Hiilary more experienced than Obama. She hasn't been in the senate that long. She talks about her foreign policy experience as first lady. What was the secretary of state doing at that time. Why is Condi working so hard in a position, if we listen to Hillary Barbara Bush should be doing. 35 years of experience? What has she done?

How unpatriotic, childish and foolish it would be for Clinton supporters to vote for McCain in the general election. That boggles the mind that you would be willing to vote for a third Bush term just because your candidate did not secure the nomination. It would be down right reckless to do such a thing. Look, Senator Clinton gave a valiant effort; she ran a good campaign but made some fatal errors for which to her detriment will cost her the nomination. We need to unite as democrats! We owe it to our country!

Just noticed a couple of typos. Sorry about that....can't edit.

Yep, that's right she's still the bad girl. I can't count the times Obama called her a liar outright as if he didn't lie about Wright and Rezco, and Michelle came out of the box name calling. This process has been so lopsided and biased that I won't be casting any vote come November, and I've voted Democratic for 40 years. But I am done with this mess called an election. Now that Hillary has been practically derailed, let's all make nice and ask, no demand that she come out and denounce the racists who support her. Oh, I thought racism was dead, according to the other camp. Ask the millions of African Americans who labor under its weight daily in the workplace! It ain't dead and never will be, but when HIllary called it, the press jumped on her calling her a racist when she was just citing FACT! HRC didn't make this Democratic mess, so don't demand that she fix it. How condescending and patronizing for Obama to laud her "great run" blah, blah blah and the wonderful strides she has made for women,"
etc. Give me a break!

A vote for HIllary is a vote for the status quo in Washington, which, forgive me if I'm wrong, is not working for most Americans! With Washington insiders and lobbyists running her campaign, do voters really believe she's in this for them? Hillary has run a campaign of smear and fear because she will do anything, say anything to get elected. It saddens me that voters didn't send her home months ago, and send a clear message that we are fed up with business as usual in Washington.

Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on Fire!

Fellow Democrats PLEASE for the sake of our country and future generations PLEASE give up the idea of voting for McCain out of spite or disappointment for your candidate. As an Obama supporter I would never consider voting for McCain even if Senator Obama were not the nominee. I would gladly vote for Senator Clinton.

It's my hope that we will soon unite as a party and believers in what this country has stood for and represented around the world and do everything we can do be certain that whomever is the Democratic nominee stands on that podium on inauguration day. What a proud and glorious moment for all of us – after 8 years of George Bush.

Remember, there really is little difference in Senator Obama's and Senator Clinton's positions on healthcare, the economy, education, etc. There is a huge difference when you compare either to Senator McCain. I can't imagine what will happen to this country and our position in the world should McCain be elected. The dollar will get weaker, gas prices will continue to soar, we will remain at war, the Supreme Court will change we will be set back years.

I understand that we all want our candidate to win, but there can only be one nominee. Let's unite around whomever he or she is!

Great. Hillary's core supporters are uneducated and racist, and now we find out they're okay with her Nixonian tactics. Clearly they're not voting on the candidate they think would do the best job; they're voting out of fear and ignorance.

I hope the remaining superdelegates develop backbones soon, before Hillary completely drags down the entire Democratic party on her way to Loserville.

To JD. Your observation is wise, but don't look at that as a problem. It is like a family fight, you can say what you want to each other, the rules change when kid down the street says it. If you look at David McKinnon (McCains cheif media stategist) resigned, as opposed to pushing the standard republican spin. Senator Hagel has broken ranks w/McCain. I see his darkest days ahead. We have witnessed a street fight on the democratic side, however, we will have a singular focus in November. We have endured the worst of both of the democratic candidates, but the surface hasnt been scratched with McCain yet.

what is this attack stuff....if there is something i should know bout obama i want to know now not after he is president .. the gop and oboma say this attack stuff cause there is nothing to say bout hillary.. except she will bring back surpluse of money and no deficet. and make federal reserve rich again and make the us a powerfull respected country again like it was in the late ninetys..that she was involved in...she knows how things are done.. if there is something bad to tell bout obama or anyone for that matter that is running for pres. it should be told so cut the sobbing she attacked obama boo hoo stuff..

Say anything, do anything Hillary. The only shocker here is that these people still vote for her.

Who cares? This is politics. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

The move is on...

Hillary supporters will not support Obama in November IF he is the nominee. This is a movement with emails and websites that have already started circulated IF he is the nominee.

Sorry Obots. We want EXPERIENCE. It's either Hillary or McCain. Don't take it personal. It is what it is.

I have voted Democratic in every election since 1972 and I will simply not vote for Obama. His almost free elitist education has gone to his head and he is not in touch with middle America. His wife is more negative than anyone can blame Hillary Clinton for being. He will lose to McCain the way he lost to Hillary in Kentucky.

Any Hillary supporter that would vote for McCain over Obama is a complete idiot, considering Hillary and Obama are so similar on almost all the issues, and McCain is not really even close to them on many of the issues. Makes me wonder what the people's criteria for casting votes is in this country. Appears not to be issues, or Hillary supporters would stop being babies and vote for Obama because the issues match. Religion? They're all Christians, so that shouldn't be the reason, except for the stupid people who are too lazy to do their research who still think Obama is a muslim. Maybe.......skin color? I suppose Hillary and McCain are similar in that attribute. I don't know, would someone else shed some light on what characteristics Hillary and McCain share that would make someone who is not a complete idiot go from voting a man so similar to Hillary on many issues to a man so different? Until someone does that, I believe the presumption has to be that if you go from Hillary to McCain, you are a fairly stupid individual.

It is hard to believe that people would say that if the person who wins the primary is not who I want, whether it be Clinton or Obama, I will vote for Mc Cain. That statement shows a sign of the blatant sexism, racism, and pure ignorance that still exists in this country. If your swing is the right to bear arms, or the woman's right to choose, do you think that the right to bear arms or Roe vs. Wade will really be repealed. Stop kidding yourselves. Vote republican if you want, and you can carry your gun to the homeless shelter because or you have no money because it remains in the hands of America's richest people! If you support Clinton or Obama, their stance on the issues that you really should be concerned with are very similar. I support Obama, but you better beleive that if Clinton is the nominee, my vote will be cast for her. I can't fathom another 4 years of the republican machine continue to destroy the US economy by waging a senseless war, and watching gas prices soar towards ten dollars a gallon and the rate of joblessness soar as well. Get it together people!!!!!!

Please do not quit Hillary. Each voter has the right to choose!

Forget unfair attacks, how about she is trying to use her wile to steal the nomination. She is more full of trickery than the devi!

Hillary, PLEASE GO AWAY!

This is so sad. What are we trying to do? Select a presidential candidate or pick our favorite color?

would anyone care about Florida and Michigan if Hillary was leading? Forgive me but, its hard to believe a person who screams for the vote to count one second, and then says they wouldnt vote for Obama because of race the next. Neither candidate was complaining about Florida and Michigan when Hillary was leading and no candidate has the power to stop the DNC from making a decision now, one way or the other.

The only fair way to handle it is either to revote or not count it at all. Unfortunately, it will probably be resolved in some deal between the candidates, instead. However, when I hear Clinton supporters say that the vote in Michigan should count as is, it just points out how desperate and unfairminded you are. Do you want every vote to count or just every vote for your candidate?

Rave,

You think Obama is more qualified to be President than Vice President Gore???????????

That's right Albert was already VICE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

For 8 years under President Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Albert is a he!! OF ALLOT more qualified to run the greatest country on earth than your LOSER GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop smoking ObaLIAR stuff and stop INSULTING ALBERT!!!!!!!!!!!

wake up people.. ask yourself who has run the better campaign?

Hillary who is 20 million in debt or obama who has 60-70 million in the bank ready to be unleashed on john mccain?? you decide.

I wish people in kentucky weren't so dumb...If they were true democrats you pick the strongest candidate and that is Obama. Clinton is trying to beat Mccain with experience and toughness and she will woefully lose that battle with a war hero who spent 35 years in the senate while clinton was baking cookies as first lady in arkansaw and D.C.

If we value EDUCATION, why do we not value the opinion of those among us, who are educated and well-read?

GO OBAMA!!

We always knew that we are a "racist and supreme' society, while on surface we projected to be very tolerant.

The facts and ugly faces are coming into open! Why Clinton supporters
would NOT vote for O'bama? I am a Republican but intend to vote for Obama – for one reason...HOPE and Change (Washington). Educated socities don't fight. They sit with their enemies accross the table and find solutions. Big brother – don't shoot younger brother or w eek person of society – they sit with them and find solutions. Our Rambo days are over. "Showing" American flag days are over. Lets realize that American can bringpeace to this earth NOT by shooting/killing but by love, affection, and care. Obama stands for change.

CNN keep spining and calling Clinton supporters uneducated and whatever you want. It is good news for John McCain. Obama with all his money will never win the Presidency. Hillary was pushed out by the CNN because she is a woman and the world is watching. Time will tell whether CNN picked a better candidate to suppport or not. CNN, you have betrayed this country over and over again. CNN betrayed America on the War in Iraq. CNN, you are a disgrace to this nation. You guys should go to another country to headquarter your station and leave America alone. Obama can never win the Presidency. He is fake and a liar. Why is he all of a sudden wearing the lapel pin that he said earlier does not show patriotism? So the flag now shows patriotism? Obama is a deciever and CNN is a sick News station that supports evil all the time. How can anyone look at Barrack Hussein Obama and support him? The guy has lied about everything he was caught on and he is still lying. All his friends are haters of America and he claims he does not share their views.
To the DNC, you guys will regret ever choosing Obama over Hillary. All of Hillary supporters will vote for McCain and get this, there is no amount of making up that will save the situation. America can no longer be fooled. Money can not buy the people's vote. America will use thier brain in November and Barrack Hussein Obama will not be the President.
CNN don't post this if you want. Post it if you want. I 've made my point.

I don't really know if Hillary Clinton's criticisms of Barack Obama are fair or not.

But I do think she's entitled to pursue her goals through to the end of the primaries next month. However, at that point I would think she ought to make some kind of statement to the effect that Obama will be nominated. If she and Bill go all the way to the convention and demand that the roll be called, I would tend to think that's more about 2012 than 2008.

Why can't we kick this evil woman to the curve and move on with life. Every body knows she is Evil and Monster she trying to destroy the Democratic party and America by her Evil doing and yet she claims she was treated unfairly because she is a woman. Who in the right mind is going to beleive her claim?

off course they agree she is been unfair and still vote for her...

because, IT was NEVER about what Clinton or Obama said or did...it is only about their SKIN COLOR !

LORD have mercy...

Clinton supporters who say they will never vote for Obama if he is the nominee shows the narrow mind and shallowness of the individuals. They would rather let the opponet win than someone from their own party. You people need to get your head examined.

Anonymous you sound like a republican. The people from WV and Kentucky would vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win because they are prejudice. What sane person would put their own interest at stake just to keep someone out of office. Hatred is very strong. Its so strong it would make you hurt even yourself and your loved ones. 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 and we can get on with the general. Hillary has taken woman to the next step of having a female President , along with the other female Presidential nominees.

Dear DNC Members and Super Delegates:

I am a heart-bleeding democrat and would like to make something clear to you before you guys make any decision.

1. I voted for Hillary in the spring. Here is the message: I will not vote for Obama in the fall, even if you guys make Hillary to get on the stage and urge us to do so.

2. I am not going to stay home either, but going to vote for McCain. Here is the reason: Hillary in better than McCain, but McCain is better than Obama.

3. Obama and Democratic Party would need Hillary to be in the ticket to win the Presidential election in this November. Here is the deal: If you want my vote, put Hillary on top of the ticket and Obama as the VP.

4. Let him serve as VP, first, and prove us that he really is a man of action, not words. Here is the promiss: I will campaign and vote for him in 2016.

This string of comments has the usual Republicans, posing as Clinton supporters, saying that they'll vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. Planting such comments has become a significant element of Republican strategy. Watch for it.

She's a Clinton. Did anyone expect anything else from her? She has waited for this opportunity for 16 years and nothing is going to stop her.

The crap she pulled with Michigan and Florida where she supported the DNC's decision then changed her mind and now will go to court over it is typical Clinton politics.

And we want this woman in the White House?

Is time for Senator Clinton to leave and stop the negative adds. we are all tired of the Clintons comments and the damage to the NDP was done and to american people of course. Leave us alone and accept your defeat. Shame on Hilary.

Why do people support Hillary ? Is it because of how she feels on the war?, is it health care?, is it about going green?, is it about how we are taxed? So let me see....... hmmmm....... Obama pretty much has the same views and stands on the same side of HRC on 99% of the issues, they both pretty much represent what Democrats want in 08............. so why would a Clinton supporter vote for McCain, or not vote at all....................hmmmm............ I wonder !!!!!

Democrats 08

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.

Silly Obama nuts..He will never win. There are no Caucasus for him or his supporters to bully into voting for him. You can see who's side you are on in a Caucasus and the White people were scared the would be labeled Racist but the Obama nuts if they did not go to his side. That’s where Obama got most of his major wins. He will never win general election without them in the general election.

McCain or Bust…I will not be bullied into vote for Obama. I'm not blind like his cult is.

Obama and his cult have played of the racist card this whole election. How sad!

what does this article and exit polling say about the people who vote for Hillary... scary!!!

When launching smears that there is no racism against Obama, Hillary should look at these results. Clearly she's only concerned with reading that which suits her. Like P Begala (a Hillary supporter) said last night on CNN, now is the time that she can come out and make some STRONG statements in favor of Obama and show some real character. That would not be so different from what's she's done in the past with all of her flip-flopping.

How about Obama surrogates in the press and Axel rod substitues saying that it was racist to say that Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights act which was King's dream. What is racist about that? Obama has so far talked a lot and does not have any thing specific to say about how to deal with Iran. One day he is wanting to talk to every body and on another day says he will have to set some preconditions. Hillary has pointed these out? Why not? Obama is playing the perfect politician and is waiting to see how Michigan and Florida will be to his advantage and hurt Hillary. He considers this fair game. Pointing out his faiures by his opponent are not attacks that are unfair. MCCain will cream him in November.

I am amazed about some responses here, especially from some Clinton supporter who are falling for the change of rules and calculations that Clinton is hushly attempting push down the rest of the dems throat to her favor.

Here are the facts:

1- The current democratic primary and caucus rules were set up/ made way before Obama even was in the senate.
2- The same rules helped Bill Clinton win the party's nomination when he run.
3. Hillary new of these rules, when her husband run for the party's nomination, she was aware of those rules during her 8 years in the white house while her husband was being naughty, and she new of these rules when she declared her self as a candidate.
4- She was completely aware of the rules of engagement when Florida and Michigan decided to change their primaries date and she was completely aware and for the penalty these 2 states would face.
NOT THAT I AGREE THAT THE VOTERS SHOULD BE PENALIZED BECAUSE SOME politician in the respective states wanted to play politics. BUT RULES ARE RULES.
5- To now attempt to elusinate with what is the rules were this way or that way to portray your self as the stronger candidate is simply ignorant and demeaning to the electorate.
6- When and if Obama wins the party's nomination I would like to see the newly soft republican wanna be democrate Hillary Clinton fight tooth and nail to change the rules for her hopes in 2012.

LAST I WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP ON ALL DEMS AND MOSTLY THOSE SUPPORTING HILLARY TO LOOK BEYOND YOUR EMOTIONS AND DESSAPOITMENT TO WHAT THE FACTS ARE AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES WHETHER YOUR PREFERED CANDIDATE IS MAKING SENSE AT ALL?
She talks about this nomination as a hiring process for a job. How would you feel if you were the employer after having hired someone for se 15 dollars an hour and 6 months later they claim they were supposed to get 17 dollars an hour? This analogy may not be the best to explain Clinton's attempt to bend the rules to her favor but it is equally not flattering to other dems to hear one of their own flip flop and criticise the rules of engagement she proudly signed up for.

Obama O8 all Dems comming together for one cause and purpose.

Now take a deep breath, a smoke break or coffee break and digest what you just read.

Wait until you see the withering attack on the convention floor in Denver. It's gonna be devastating.

Senator Clinton doesn't attack unfairly, just untruthfully, using very creative statistics. How could you possibly count FL and MI votes when Obama wasn't even on the ballots there?

1. Obama atttacked Hillary but had others doing the dirty work and covered up in his speeches by saying "It's Ok that she is saying this...I can take it ... then he attacks her by saying "But..." and starts in. He is not innocent of making attacks !
2. Obama is "quietly planning his DNC campaign" because he
doesn't want to upset Hillary voters.
3. Last night's speech praising Hillary was ALSO "to not upset
Hillary voters." We are upset!
4. News media's overt and veiled sexist commentary HAS
upset Hillary's women voters. Obama's campaign HAS upset Hillary voters, a la Ferraro. This morning on your 8 o'clock news mentioned
the quantum physics guy's article "Lady, get out of the way!" while they were discussing the sexism problem!!! What if a woman had said,
"Man, get out of the way!" The response would have been, "Who does she think SHE is?" And in the same session, the woman guest says
Obama's speech last night was because he doesn't want to upset
Hillary's voters. Let's see, I guess that means be good little voters and do what you are told. If Cubans, as of today, and other groups, can rally for their cause , and all the black clergy and prominent black officials come to Obama's side, I ask you, why can't women rally around Clinton?? WE have had it and it will affect the general election. Unmentioned is the rampant sexism and salacious remarks on Obama blogs and sites!!! Truly disgusting! Yes we are angry and YES WE CAN!

Well, if her own supporters say she has attacked him unfairly, why are they still supporting her. Yet they get all bent out of shape attacking him for staying under the leadership of Rev. Wright and supposingly supporting Wright. They need to look in their own backyards. They are no better in supporting her attacks.

Anyone with at least 1/2 a brain knows Hillary/Bill also has run a negative campaign including subtle hints about Abama's race and there were plenty of those. Remember "ELECTIBILITY" code word for he's "BLACK". It's abvious from some of the posts that many of you don't even have that 1/2 a brain.

I have to note last nights coverage on CNN was especially good. I mean certain things came out during the analysis noting Obama actually is in a bad position and Hillary put him there and how he has to walk a tight rope because of the obvious (Race). Obama has received a lot of "WHITE" support so those knuckleheads should stop acting as if he is being shunned. Look at Oregon, IOWA why don'tcha>

It was also noted that Hillary should say to those people that if they declined to vote for Obama simply because of Race they should keep their vote.

The truth is the truth and some of you should face it.

90 percent of the black vote just recently got to obama. if you remember she had a large chunk and edwards had a large chunk. just like bill richardson would win hispanics and how mit romney won in utah and mike huckabee was winning evangelicals. and the 90 percent of blacks who voted for barack doesnt make them racists. its the first viable black candidate in forever who is beating a name thats been in politics since 1992. There has already been clinton supporters saying they are voting for clinton simply because obama is black. but blacks arent voting against her because shes white. its completely different

Well her only commitement is to be the president of the USA.
She will do anything in her power to be in that position.

THIS IS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

They voted the way they see fit, and I think we democrats should stand beside our nominee come November election.

Hillary Clinton or John McCain certainly will not be the right leaders to move this country forward. I'm an independent and have voted for Rebulicans in the past. Hillary has damaged the democratic race by injecting the race card and now playing sexism. She is arrogant and will do anything to clinch to the nomination. Our country does not need Dynasty system rather we need visionary and progressive leaders who will make this country once again an ecnomic power of the world on every level. Hillary is extremely upset ( clearly shows on her face)and truly believed that she had earned the nomination. I believe that once she's out, public will move on to focus on general election. I hope that a good majority of white voters in Kentucky; W.VA and other states will vote for Obama.

May God bless our country

Hillary's unfair attack tactics is nothing new. She learned it from the master Bill and still thinks it is the nineties. Her character says it all I will get it my way or the highway. After the white vote for me comment, she seems to grip the reality of inevitable change. Obama praised her work and contribution with the attack. Hillary's supporters see the same as his weakness point but it is a method of outsmarting an opponent. I wish the sky has opened and took Hillary to the Land of HOPE where she and her husband Bill can reminece the good time they had on the campaign trail. Obama must choose VP someone who believe in the people's power, his and Kennedy's ideals and love with immense of the constitution. A woman other than Hillary ( who is able to saturate his motto with hers) is a plus beacause they are different in belief and truthfullness. Sebilius or Amy of Minnesota to name a few. Thank you MR. Obama.

Kentucky and West Virginia are only known for two things each........Shotguns and incest.............................educated people..........get real............that's why they follow Clinton and McCain..........they are racists hill billies who still drink from slop jars and chew tobacco at the dinner table and spit and have a mut named Duke chained up in the back yard who they give beer too......

Ahhhh, why do we want any of these guys?

Billery is desperate backed into a corner wth no calculator!! I am going to send her one with INSTRUCTIONS on how to use it!! I hope Billery stays in it to the end!!

All the best to John McCain the next President!!

JD–if you support Hillary, and she isn't nominated, you're going to vote for McCain? Is that what you're saying? Have you looked at his stands on all the major issues? He's the polar opposite of Clinton, and Obama. I am sick to death of democrats who will not stand with their party and vote for the candidate that is chosen. I prefer Obama but if Clinton wins, I will vote for her, campaign for her, whatever it takes to put a democrat in the White House. Both of these candidates are closer to my ideals than McCain will ever be. I don't want my daughter in Iraq in 6 years when she turns 18. Something needs to be done about health care. And social Security. And education....Come on Democrats. We are better than this and need to stand together. If the candidates can stand united when its all over, & they will, then why can't the rest of us?

All negative heading for hillary why don't you put heading that college graduate from kentuky supported Hillary.
do you think they are lesser educated then Oregon graduate?

Duh! As soon as it became obvious this thing wasn't going to be the cakewalk she thought it would be, she started with innuendo, negative spin, and outright lies to sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt about Obama.

It started with her crazy claims that Obama's health insurance plan would abandon 15 million people (in truth, some estimate that approx. 15 million would opt out), and went down hill from there.

"Is Obama a muslim?" "No... as far as I know."

I cannot understand why so many HRC supporters are angry. Hillary has run a hard campaign and lost. She did her best. Unfortunately she had a weak campaign crew and a husband that undermind her. If she were in the same place Obama is now, she would be SCREAMING for him to withdraw...

I am sure this poll was made among so called college educated and african-american voters. I am a college educated professor and trust me I know hoe dumb they can be.

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 ocmplete 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! 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

go
figure the dunbocratic still do not get that they are the biggest racist
around a white person attacks a black as long as they are adumbocratic its all right but if you are on the right you are a racist plain and simple. GIVE ME A BREAK.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

stop voting for her then..........i really hope he grow some you what and give the VP nod to someone else.........she don't deserve it.......to think that i voted her in NY's primary and now i'm totally against her......funny how thing change and i hope that when it comes to GE time we can all jump on that barrackgon....and move into the white house.......pls......do not stay home, don't vote mccain.........this is our time......let the good time role ppl

What? Clintons unfair? Can you say Marc Rich? Can you sya Peter Paul? Can you say Whitewater? Paula Jones? Gennifer Flowers? etc. etc. etc. They are the most despicable couple in politics.

Typical Male Chauvinistic journalism – if a woman politician highlights the inefficiency and inadequacy of a male competitors experience or statements or policies, that is attacking.

Where a Male politician does the same to a female competitor, the female competitor is expected to take it in the chin. After all that is what politics is about and only the strong can survive.

American Journalists and citizens, wake up and smell the coffee. Reality is Hillary is attacking Obama's experience and claims. Not the man! She is entitled to, as much he is to hers.

America, you've also discriminated against gender long before race and color. It's time to break down the gender discrimination first and elect your first Lady President, and exercise true meritocracy before you pick your first Black President!

- Ravi
(A Man!)

how can any of the people in the blog say these things with a staright face? Sen. Clinton has deliver poisitive messages again and again, it was Sen. Obama and the other 7 Candidates that early on attacked her, do you all have selective memories? they all called her divisive and flawed after Carl (porking beans) Rove, claim it so on TV, she has had to react and fight every since... is funny that 8 man can attack her and that is O.K. but when she goes on the offensive, she is just horrible... talk about double-standards and what did she attacked him with? Experience? PLEASE! so lame... I'm o.k. with Sen obama winning the nomination, congratulations, but I believe the Sen. Clinto earned the right to finish and she deserves a lot of respect for her courage. I cannot believe that the news claims that educated non-religious people are Obama's voters, I'm well educated and I'm still not conviced... but I rather have a Democrat than a Republican. So lets unite like adults and recongnize how lucky we are that these two candidates are running for the highest office in the land. Stop the hate and the ignorant people that continue to attack these two fine candidates.

HILLARY HAS NOT MADE ANY WRONG COMMENT ON OBAMA THAT HE HAS NOT MADE HIMSELF. INSTEAD OF COMMENTING BAD THINGS ABOUT HILLARY COMMENT ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A STRONG WOMEN SHE IS THAT SHE IS WILLING TO RACE HIM UNTIL HE OR SHE REACHES #2026 HE MAY BE CLOSE BUT, LIKE THEY SAY WE STILL HAVING HE ARD THE FAT LADY SING! SHE IS AS CLOSE AS HE IS AND GOING STRONG. I PERSONNEL BELEIVE THE SUPERDELEGATES ARE SCARE THAT A WOMEN CAN DO A PRESIDENT JOB AND THEY CHOOSING OBAMA BECAUSE THEY KNOW MCCAIN WILL WIN HIM SO SHAME ON THE POOR GOSSIP NEWS ABOUT WHO SAID WHAT TO HURT ANYBODY'S FEELING IT IS WHO CAN DO THE JOB AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER NOT PATTY CAKE GAMES. WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT THINKS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES FIRST AND NOT WHAT HE CAN BENEFIT FROM FOR HIMSELF AND GREEDY POLITICIANS THAT CAN CARE LESS ABOUT THE PEOPLE BUT, THERE OWN PLATE AT NIGHT, WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT CARES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US IN THE ECONOMY, ONE THAT CARES IF WE HAVE A GOOD HEALTH INSURANCE AND NOT AN INSURANCE THAT TELLS THE DOCTOR WHAT MEDS TO GET AND WHICH ONE THEY DO NOT COVER . A PRESIDENT THAT CARES FOR ALL PEOPLE NOT JUST CERTAIN PEOPLE WE ARE DYING OUT HERE AND NO ONE HEARS US,,, WE GO HOME SOMETIMES AND DO NOT EAT BECAUSE WE CANNOT NOT AFFORD FOOD TO PAY A MORTAGE, RENT CAR PAYMENTS, GAS ETC. SO STOP THE GOSSIP ABOUT WHO SAID WHAT AND HELP US GET A PRESIDENT THAT IS FOR REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. THANK YOU I FEEL BETTER

1) The race is over. Obama has already won more than 50% of the total available pledged delegates (so if Clinton gets 100% of the remaining states he will still win...and btw the remaining states are slightly in favor for him.) Popular vote is harder to count, but currently he is ahead in every calculation except for the one Clinton uses, where she counts Florida and Michigan (where he was not on the ballot!) AND does not count any of the caucuses! With a head start of having the party establishment on her side, Clinton has still lost.

2) On counting FL and MI: first of all, it doesn't even matter - Obama still wins. But secondly and more importantly, as a MI resident and Obama supporter, I'd be livid if those delegates were counted when he was not even on the ballot, and re-vote polls a month ago put them at 50-50 for that state. I also don't think it's fair to count FL (people went into the election knowing it didn't count and candidates weren't allowed to campaign there) but at least he was on the ballot and current polls suggest she'd still win (though not by as huge of a margin.) But please stop saying you'll disenfranchise the voters by not counting the delegates. Rather, I'd feel disenfranchised if you did count them, seeing as my candidate was not on the ballot.

3) On racism. This is a nuanced topic, but I'll say that on average black people know a lot more about white culture than whites do about blacks, because blacks are in the minority. Generally people who are exposed to other cultures are less likely to be racist about them. I believe there is much more anti-black racist negativity than anti-white. As for blacks being racist for going 90% for Obama, that is ridiculous. They are thinking individuals who went largely for Clinton early in the election (mostly before the official voting happened, but certainly in the polls). Once Clinton ran a divisive campaign and Obama ran an inclusive campaign starting a national dialog about race, blacks realized he was an ally and she was not. Once she realized she was not competitive for the black vote she further threw them under the bus in order to pander to the whites (larger population, afterall). Now she is complaining about sexism, saying there has been no racism in the campaign and coverage. There has been a lot of both. But Obama isn't complaining about racism - he's saying "lets unite" and he's intentionally suppressing press coverage of racist events against his campaign. Clinton is doing the opposite. She wants to complain.

4) Uniting the party - Obama is going to be the nominee so I'll say this to Clinton supporters (though I'd say the same to Obama people if she were the nominee) - please vote for him in November. Why did you choose Clinton in the primary? Is it her policies, views, position on healthcare, the economy, the war, women's rights? If so, Obama agrees with her and would support your values! If there are other reasons such as the color of her skin, fine, vote for McCain. But really consider why she'd be a good president. Obama is extremely similar to her. McCain is extremely different, and very close to Bush.

5) On money - someone said Obama stole the election from Clinton by buying votes. Yes, he did outraise and outspend her. Yes, that did change a lot of people's minds. But remember - Clinton was the default vote, given Bill's success. Obama was a newcomer. In light of that, it was impressive that he was able to raise so much money! It bodes well for the general that he can raise so much money so easily, because Republicans typically have more money than Democrats in the race and democrats get outspent. Moreover, his donations came in very small amounts from a huge number of people, showing a wide base of support from individuals who may donate again. Clinton's campaign had a lot of large donations from people who got up to their donation limit of 2300 (or 4600 when including general election dollars). Obama didn't buy or steal the election. By the way he also has nothing to do with the MI/FL debacle. That's the fault of the state officials (for breaking the rules) and the DNC (for setting such stringent rules).

Again, please unite. Please realize that if you like Clinton you should like Obama, too. McCain is a very different animal and is not someone you want in the white house.

Okay, what else is new, we know how the Clinto people work, they go negative the day before voting takes place, that has been her ploy the whole time. Okay, her people have sunk her campaign and she needs to realize it. That lound mouth arrogant SOB Wolfson keeps selling her false hopes, she looks so bad and pitiful out here, just get out now and use your negative ploys on McCain. Thew way she attacked Obama can be used to attack McDumb and put and the Dem's can take the White House. All she has to do is go to is Ohio and Penn and convince her catholic, blue-collar, non degree having, poor, white folks that they do not have to fear in intelligent black man, but wait......they fear us more when we are smarter than them and just are better off. Seriously, to these blue collar, non-degree having faith based individuals--you can vote McCain if you want to just due to race, but your finances, your job, gas will not change for 4 years and then like folks now are saying that.....why the hell did we elect Bush, cause he was white and you'll though that he would not "push a fat one in your rear end"....but he did. He as affected white,black,hispanice, asian and others with his ecomomic policies, foreign policies and immigration policies. Question, why do Hisnpanics love Bush--he is the one that was promoting to send them back, but Hispanics still cheer. They are worse than these non-degree having, blue collar red neck white folks-hispanics are note even blue collar they are--off collar workers, but they follow the white face and get screwed in the end......as usual.

Jane............I'm agree with you 100%. I'm an African-American and I can clearly see how strategic Obama has been with the race card. He comes out in the beginning excluding the fact that he was running a platform based on becoming the first African-American President, but then when it was convienent for him in South Carolina he and his campaign staff pulled it big time. If you think back to the debate in S.C. when they asked Barack Obama did he consider Bill Clinton the first Black President. Barack should have been insulted to answer such a dumb question, but what does he do, he tries to be hip and says, "we'll have to see Bill dance before we can declare him a brother". The moderators laughed, the mostly African-American audience laughed and so did the Media. No one was offended. Now that was an example of the race card right there, but did CNN, MSNBC, FOX, or ABC hype that? HELL NO!

Hillary Clinton has been nothing but a fighter in this campaign and she proves that she is more capable than Barack is any day!

Kentucky and West Virgina are living in past times, and can not accept the fact that Obama is a black man winning the ticket. If thoses folks want to vote for Mccain and 4 more years of Bush, go ahead.

Obama '08

The democrats who vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee are worst than republicans, who always profit during war and that's what John McCain lives for. He is out to prove America can win a war to make up for Viet Nam. Let's have a little sanity in America for a change. STOP KILLING OUR MILITARY FOR OIL!!!

Hey April in Texas ..... WAKE UP .... we aren't approaching the 21st century, we're in it. And let me guess, you're a liberal.

Obama is so wet behind the ears it's disgusting. Great orator but he is about as deep as the kiddie pool from Wal-Mart. He knows nothing and you can't dismiss Rev Wright. Obama has his "I've been held down by the man" agenda as well although he is spoiled rotten.

I am not surprised by Hillary's tactics. She will do anything to win the nomination because she has no scruples and will point the finger at someone else in order to take the blame off of herself. We the public have expressed time and time again that we don't care to hear the negative comments or adds, because in the end it doesn't help anyone. We as Americans are concerned about the real issues that are plaguing our nation and how can we turn around and go in the right direction.

To all of you who say Obama's platform is like Hillary's need to go back and watch all the debates from the beginning. Obama had no platform! Hillary had one from the beginning with solutions. Obama rode on the coattails of all the potential democrat nominees and "adopted" from their policies and made them his own. I still have not heard his solutions. I see a man with a lack of judgment and supporters who are rude! My vote will not go to him because he is not the leader that I would see for our country! I want someone who is confident and knows how to work across party lines and who stands up for what she believes.

Go Hillary Go!

You "Hillary or McCain" types, please go ahead and vote for Bush III. We Obama supporters are well off and 4 more years of cuts in health care, high gas prices, outsourcing of jobs, continued war and catering to special interests group under McCain won't affect us much. How about you?

LaurelNYC,

So who really cares what supporters say about anyone (other than you?)?

I can't believe the Democratic Party is not putting an end to this!
The Clinton's are the ones splitting the party!
Hillary agreed with Michigan and Florida not counting until she was the underdog. Shame on her!
And isn't that Politics as usual?
The super delegates need to put an end to this and I say SHAME ON THE CLINTON'S

Obama or no one said:

"Speaking as a lifelong Democrat and Obama supporter, I WILL NOT vote for Obama if Clinton is on the ticket as VP. I will write in Biden or Dodd."

It must of been lonely all those years. Because as you know as a life long democrat, the only 2 presidents that were democrat in the last 4 decades were Carter and Clinton. So you must be an elitecrat. You must have supported sure losses like Dukakis and Kerry. And as usual you are blind to see the same conclusion with Obama

As for Barack, All I can say is meekness is not weakness but power under control- something the Bush and Mccain doesn't know anything about. I like both the Democratic choices and will vote for either. But I like Obama's integrity, care and strenght. I don't know if anyone else have noticed but John McCain looks like he's been sucking on a lemon- check it out the next time you see him and imagine our country looking just like him. Sorry I can't see it, even his own (the Republicans) didn't want him on the ticket.

What? The golden boy is being attacked unfairly. He attacks but sugarcoats it with that silver tongue, which seems to have people just in a trance when he is speaking. Not me. I have met men like this before. I am not a follower.

bucky in response to your comment that if the primaries were winner take all, Hillary would have the most pledge delegates, well guess what it is not winner take all for a reason so i dont know why people keep trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. If the democrates do not like this rule they should try to change it to a winner take all system after this election. i think people who are saying that they will vote for Mccain or stay home during the elections are idiots, are we starting to vote for people over our own interests? the difference between Hillary plan and Obama is slim to non, while there is a huge contrast between Hillary and Mccain policies.

No Hillary??

No OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No McBUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put a write in vote for NIXON!!!!!

How can anyone who supports Clinton say that they would rather have McCain in the White House than Obama? Is it simply sour grapes for the systematic defeat of the Clinton Juggernaut by a campaign that simply out organized? Or is it a simply showing of a lack of care by some of her supporters regarding ISSUES? Some of her supporters say they'd rather vote for McCain than another candidate that shares almost identical views on issues as their own candidate?

The fact is, our country and our economy are in the toilet because of the last eight years. McCain stands for the same military and economic policy, and as a result has his fingers on the flush handle. A vote for him is a vote for the same old policies. Is that a vote that the "anybody but Obama" supporters are willing to make?

Anyone but McCain '08

I'm a Republican that would vote for Obama but if Hillary Clinton were on the ticket I would not. I would not vote for Hillary Clinton for anything. She's one of the biggest liars I've ever seen in politics and that says a lot.

The idea that she is so experienced is a joke. Being first lady does not count as experience for becoming the president.

She has 7 yrs of official state and federal government experience and that's it.

Obama has over 9 years of experience in state and federal government and yet ignorant people want to claim Hillary has so much experience. It simply is not true.

Hillary Clinton would never beat John McCain but Obama can.
So it's pretty simple. If Democrats want another failure then vote for Hillary. If you want the White House it's pretty obvious that Obama is your choice.

Floyd, did Obama buy your vote with all his money or are you just so much smarter than everyone else?

Apparently she is not bothered about the Democratic party. She is ready to ruin it all if SHE doesnt get her way!!

This is not how a party leader behaves and acts. Especially since the Obama people are being very dignified and generous in allowing her to continue her campaign unopposed and undisturbed. If she continues this, any failure of the party can be traced to her selfish campaign. And that would ruin her career and cost millions of supporters. Is this what she seeks?

African American only make up 13% of the population. 95% of that is what?
Obama could not be winning just because of the black vote.
He has out-campaigned her inspite of the negative media coverage(Sean Hannity bashing him every night for over a month) The media has been very light on Hillary, Who has more baggage. She has brought up all the ISM's she could to trick the voters with no COMMON SENSE. If this is what a so called experienced candidate brings to the table, I don't want it. She had the upper hand but lost it.

In response to,

. I just can't see it as anything but race based, so please enlighten me.

Maybe shes a closet republican and she wont spring it on us until shes made sure McCain wins.....

This candidate is unbelievable. She continuallt repeats things until people start believing them

She claims she has won in all swing states and therefore she can win those in the general election. . . .

How has she gotten away with equating a primary to the general election. One deals just with democrats, the other with the entire population. The truth is they are completely different animals.

She is trying to change the rules. . . no check that, the complete game.

She is shameless and should be bounced out of the country,

And no, this is not a sexist thing, this is a liar and a cheat thing. Her "win at all costs" attitude has made me want to help the R who runs against her in NY, her "home" state.

GO HILLARY... do not give up, you will be the nominee. Who made OB a rock star? Not!! If he is the nominee, will have to vote McCain.

Why is everyone so scared? have you been watching the news @ all lately? They both appeared to be excellent choices months ago, me leaning more towards Hillary. However, after seeing how low down and dirty she got, there's no way. It's one thing to be tough, and it's another to be down right nasty. People, this is not a battle of races; just because you're white shouldn't mean you choose clinton and vice versa. The thing that alarms me is that people are so emphatically against Obama, and for what? Honestly? To hear Democrats say that they'd rather back a Republican is very disheartening. "Never Obama" they say. Hillary's tough, indeed. Obama has made it through everything, to this point, that everyone has had to pull up from the bottom of the earth to get him on. It doesn't, and won't stick; mainly because it's BS. I'm not, in the least bit, deeming him perfect or invincible; just the person for the job.

To JD,

Keep dreaming,when it's time i will wake you up.Anyway,go ahead and vote for McShame.Your favourite is history.You are a Republican we don't need you.

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...

Hillary does not have any experience, but being married to a former president. She has no experience on foreign policy, economics. She is just a newcomer also. She has ties to other people with experience as does Obama. He brings about Change–that the people want.

When discussing experience, Bill Clinton has that not Hilliary.

You nailed it!!!!!!!

wow I did not know it would come to this. Who ever wins, the other is going to say "it's because I'm Black or a woman." it's sad to see those to fight and hate each other. When they are showing our country you can hate each other and thats not right. They both made history and they need to get it right. I did not vote because they all show NO ACTION. Just words. The only way our country is going to come together is if we stop blaiming each other and playing the blaim game and come together. Know matter what raice size gender or shape. i am a single mom of 2 kids and i know that they are my future. the future does not look bright. You can't even call 911 and get the wright help anymore. One of our UW of wisconsin kids called 911 and they did not call back and now she is dead.
what ever happend to caring for one an other?
thanks Robin and CNN for your time

thanks cnn for supporting Obama. He is the best candidate.

Thank you very much

Gobama/ Al sharpton 08

So here's my question: If the majority of voters in WV and KY all agree she did something wrong in attacking Obama, then why did they still support her over him? Do these people truly embrace gutter politics or is something more sinister to blame (i.e. ultimately they'd rather have a white person who unfairly attacks an innocent colleague and is perfectly willing to compromise the party and the general election for personal glory than to vote for a black man for president). If anyone can give me any other reasons people would admit they feel she's a bad person but still vote for her, I'd love to hear them...

CAN YOU LEAVE THIS ALONE AND STOP DEMONIZING HILLARY CLINTON! GOOD LORD!!! THEY'RE NOT HURTING EACH OTHER ANYMORE...LEAVE IT ALONE. I SWEAR, YOU GUYS ARE SO BIAS....SHE'S NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING WRONG AND YOU'RE STILL GIVING HER BAD PRESS!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU ALL ROT

Polls in Ky and WV also indicated that race played a large part.She pushed the race issue with all the" hard working white voter" remarks.She is taking him down.They are talking of going into the convention ununified.It looks to me that she wants to taint his candidacy so he will lose in Nov and leave it open for her to run again in 2012.

Well! Some of the Clinton supporters (on these blogs) don't seem to notice that she HAS unfairly attacked Senator O on a constant basis.

I hope this will convince you otherwise (Clinton supporters) before you go pointing fingers.

I think everyone knows that Hillary Clinton did not attack Obama in WV or Kentucky. She did attack him in previous contests as he attacked her too. However, the media and Obama supporters constantly whine about how unfairly they are attacked. Yet, behind the scenes they are the ones unfairly and negatively attacking Clinton and her supporters, especially the bloggers. It's sad and I know, without a doubt, many Clinton supporters will have their voices heard in the GE when they vote for McCain. Obama = the great divider of the democratic party and United States of America. So, keep on bashing Clinton and her supporters!

I truly wish I could say that the Clinton the Clinton plays far by like them I would be lying.

Bill Clinton has use lies to do what he do best. The sad thing about that is that so many people believe those lies and now Hillary Clinton wish to continue the herigate of lying and distrust.

With all that is going one not once dis Obama try to use the Peter Paul case to his advantage to question the Clintons......Ethnics.......

Hillary has no moral conscious and attacks obama in a very coward way behind the scene...in a very cunning and cheating way. I thought only children do such acts to win by hook or crook. Here whole Clinton's family is engaged with such heinous act against a good candidate Obama.

OBAMA 2008..

i was born and raised in america. was so proud of it and always brag about us when i lived abroad in europe. in every which way i would say we were better than the rest. well, that all changed after i returned back to my home, america. the first day back on american soil, i was reminded that i was black man (and dam proud of it), from those who will never ever let racism die. from shops to shops, businesses to businesses, i was looked upon not based on the contents of my character, but only by the color of my skin, and even more now when i read about those so-called democrats who decides to change their votes to republican because they don't want a black man in the house. not because of what he stands for. OBAMA a great man, a great leader fighting for change for all americans, white, black, hispanic, etc. it doesn't matter what your background is. but this is not good for you racist people. you know who you are and you are the one reason why we(all americans), always fall short. i should put my foot in my mouth when i brag about us. my european family, my hats off to you. you taught me well. we need to take alot of your ways and learn from it. OBAMA for president is my vote. hope and love is my dream for a better america or else i am moving back to europe.

That is the way to do it – whiiiiiiiine your way into the White House, call the race card if things are not going your way. And for someone who calls himself above the "old politics" he sure is spending a lot of time courting the backing of those politicians! What a hypocrit! It is sad the DNC and MEDIA is afraid to say anything against him or report anything negative about him in fear he will say they are being racist. Well, IF he even gets to the white house, this is going to be a lot like Bush in the "either you are with me or you are not" – his theme will be "either you are with me or you are racist."

You Go Hillary! Take it all the way to the convention. THERE IS NO WAY I CAN VOTE FOR THIS MAN!

tht just goes to show... these sorta guys will just band behind mc cain, be them republican or otherwise to block obama!

Showing her "true colors"- what do these folks who voted for her think? That if she gained total control she would play nice? Give me a break- the woman is mean-spirited and dishonest- now WHY would 55% of people who KNOW that, vote for her? The American public really amazes me sometimes.

I would be proud to have an African-American president, but not this one, not this time. Obama is too much of a hyprocrite at the highest possible level.

Bucky says: "If you allocated 100% of the pledged delegates to the winner of each State, Clinton would be ahead big time. This is the way pledged delegates will be allocated in November."

Bucky, if a first down required 5 yards instead of 10, football teams would adopt different strategies to play the game. You cannot change the rules AFTER the game has been played, then claim your team should have won.

In case you don't get the message, Obama would have spent more time in CA and NY (like Hillary did) - and no time in small states - had your rules been in effect. But they weren't, so he didn't.

Just wait till the Republicans get through with BO. They'll wish they had Clinton attacking him instead.

I wish everyone would think back several years ago. I don't know about you, but I certainly lived pretty well when Clinton was in office. How quickly we seem to forget how powerfull we were when Bill was in office and now the entire world looks at us as loud mouths. The world does judge us by our leaders.
I am ready for my almighty dollar to be worth something once again. Go Hillary!!

The world is, and has been, watching.; it observed how the American people allowed George Bush to steal his first term, as well as continue wreaking worldwide, and domestic, havoc during his current term.

How many Americans have really studied the history of American foreign and domestic policy and its impact on not only the world but on your clearly-not-so-united States. Do that, and THEN try and say that it would be okay to elect another Clinton or Bush/McCain. And don't just watch your very skewed and obviously biased television commentaryt; READ, INVESTIGATE and THINK.

The democratic primaries are reinforcing the world-view that Americans are, in general, idiots, even amongst those who denounced the government but granted benefit of the doubt to the populace.

For the first time in decades, even centuries, you have a remarkable candidate, Barack Obama, and you squabble with all the reason of a bunch of inbred villagers.

Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to Americans, American women, and the world and women in general.

She epitomises, along with Bush and McCain, all that is reprehensible in the human race.

Get over yourselves, your emotions and start thinking with the brains you must have, somewhere.

For once, prove that you truly do stand amongst the greatest nations on earth.

I have lost any respect I had left for either of the Clintons during the primaries. Her supporters posting on here aren't any better. Yes, I know a lot are Republicans in disguise.
The media isn't any better trying to divide the party up even further by categorizing everyone's vote dividing the party along racial, gender, age, whatever lines.
I do think however that you are underestimating the number of people that won't vote for Hillary if she ends up getting the nomination through trickery. If she won fairly I would have considered it but with the remaining primaries left there is no way she can win without cheating.
I know my famiy's votes will not be given to her as President or VP. We will either not vote or vote for a 3rd party candidate.

TO ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS:

STOP PLAYING THE "WHAT IF" GAME.

IF PEOPLE LIVED ON MARS SHE MAY WIN THAT PRIMARY TOO!

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.

What hoowey. This is Clinton playing victom agains and frankley I'm sick of hearing it. Maybe it time she actually earn something for once in her life instead of expecting it to just be handed it to her. Sexism, what a load of malarkey, just like her sniper fiasko. Obama has been a gentleman to her for most of the campaign, why when she has been nothing but negative and a pure racist is beyond me. But he took the higher road and showed the nation he could be a stronger candidate and his hard worked obviously paid off. Something she can't stomach. As a white woman, she makes me sick. she is nothing but a liar, a conving selfish woman, out for herself and will do anything to bring down this nation. Wake up people. She cares nothing about this country otherwise she would never have stood by and watch her husband sell secrets to other countries for 50millions dollars while she was a US Senator... US Traitors that what they are and that won't change....

What if 17 Million voters wrote-in Hillary Clinton in November? Would Obama still win?

The raw facts tell me that it is the Obama camp that is doing the most attacks. But I keep hearing analysts and pollsters telling the contrary.

laurelnyc: I really, really liked McCain when he was a moderate and was hoping he'd run in 2004 and even 2008; but now he's pandering so hard to the right and changing his stance on issues where he would once have worked in a bipartisan effort to help make the come to fruition that I just can't stand him. It's sad, really. He used to be a great Independent.

I am a Clinton supporter that will vote for Obama because I care about the issues she cares about. Unfortunately, many HC supporters are supporting her because she is a fad or novelty.
They could care less about her life long work and the issues that are so dear to her. They will abandon her ideals and vote republican even though they know that is not what she wants and the oppostite of what she stands for. To many, she is just a fad and her ideals mean nothing.

Hillary should united the party and get behind Obama because
she can not win. If she was in front she would not be talking about
Florida and michigan ,and saying the rule are the rule,but she is
behind and trying to change the rules also with her husband Bill,
whom I believe is behind her movement to push this. She attack
Mr. Obama in the last to states she won,as well as Bill. Mrs. Obama
have never been in politics or held a political office,so she going
attack,which both Hillary and Bill been in the white House. Also
Mccain should stay away from his wife because his wife want allow
her taxes to known to the public.

Well, I received my survey from the DNC, and the last page was send money so that the Democratic candidate can win. I typed out a nice letter last night, and said that due to the treatment of one said candidate, along with the media bias and alienation of my choice in nominee, that I will not be completing, nor donating money to the DNC.

I guess the only way for them to see they did Hillary wrong is to hit them in the pocketbooks. It is so funny that all the people that are those Obamanites are now trying to extend an olive branch after all the mud slinging and alienating they have done. Why? They need us in the general. Well, I have lived 8 years of hell, and what is 4 more.

Mudslinging and attacks? Good for you Hillary!

HILLARY in 2012!!! GO HILLARY~!!!!!!

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

Did anyone heard what Spike lee said? that was accurate!!!yeah guyz it's O-V-A-H!!!!!

Hillary lacks depth. She'll say anything to get elected. She can't be trusted. She's merely glib. Her husband probably isn't (wasn't) much better, but he was better at it.

I listened to Hillary speak some little while ago–I was surprised to be able to see through her. It didn't ring true at all. What was surprising was that I had never had this experience before with a person of that national standing–to be able to see through them like that.

The point being, doubtless a good many other politicians are fake too–but it is unusual to see it in action. If you watch closely you will probably see the same thing–her glibness is just that, fake.

I am so shocked that the negative mind set of people who say they will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. Where has the spirit of the democrat gone? Let me get the right.
If you don't get your way you are going to switch sides and make everyone suffer with 4 more years of the same? Maybe you will be happy to have 4 more years of war, think of all the young men and women that are going die because you voted for McCain. This is nothing more that a spoiled childish statement. God help you if my son is one of these young men you voted ot kill.
Give Obama a chance to bring the world together. If 75,000 people stand in live to see him something has to be right.

Bucky, Is that Kenturky math you're using??

Race is definitely a factor, this is the honest truth.
23% of voters in west virginia and kenturky said that race was a factor,
now if 23% admit that in public then the number is more like 45%. And all these race bias folks voted for clinton. Hillary cannot accept these votes from these folks and not admit she is playing the race card by saying that these white rural vote. look at yesterday, Obama won in Oregon with 95% white. The problem Obama is having is with the uneducated white rural voters who are set in their ways, they will need plenty of persuasion to vote for a non white candidate. Heck they were still voting for Edwards (7%) in west virginia because they could not vote for a non white candidate or a woman.

I was amazed yesterday that the analyst at CNN was saying that there is a race card being played and hence Hillary should take the high road and say to the voters "if you are a white racist, I do not need your vote".

By the same token then shouldn't Obama say " if you are giving me your vote because you are black and you see me as black, I don't need your votet" or " if you are young and choosing me because am younger than Hillary, I don't need your vote" or if you are male person and giving me your vote because of my sex, I donot need your vote" ??

Hillary fights like a street thug – only with words.

Remember Whitewater? She forgot she had boxes upon boxes of legal papers in the attic of the whitehouse? Unless you have Alzheimers, you can't forget boxes upon boxes of legal documents. Give us a break – she has always been a below the belt hitter and untruthful.

And we're surprised? A wounded animal will do anything to survive.
She'll be clawing the convention podium like a wounded cow!

She panders she lies ,shamefully runs a campaign calling on women to unite and vote against the man, throws racial/etnic accusations ( ...as far as I know he is not a muslim...and then has the gall to call the press sexist? This woman is a lunatic as she presses on to divide the country further. She is supported by Karl Rove, the same one who brought on Bush; does that say anything to you?. Don't be fooled women of this country. She has already set your cause back 50 years. You deserve better.

Dear Mr. DE,

You seem to have your "facts" confused.

The RealClearPolitics average gives Obama an AVERAGE (over the 6 most recent known polling organizations) of +4.5 over McCain, this is compared to Clinton's +1.8 over McCain.

.. but nice try! It's a pity information is so easy to look up on the Internet. You know, you might try it sometime... start with Whitewater, Goldwater, Lewinski, and move on from there...

Do dems ever stop crying, it's not fair, she is a liar . First of all they are all liars. Thats their job get votes at all cost. Have any of you ever herd the saying, life isn't fair.

Why are the Clinton supporters angry at Obama.
He has been nice to Queen Hillary.
They should be angry with all of the Hard working white and black
Americans who do not want her to be their President.

This is totally stupid....it has been the MEDIA attacking Hillary unfairly!!

It is the MEDIA that played the race card!!

It is the MEDIA that has pushed Obama down our throats!!

It is WE THE PEOPLE that WILL NOT vote for him in November!!

WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR McCAIN!!!

Cinque from Texas,

Wow, its really sad that you perceive the support Obama gets the way you do. And probably quite telling of you character. Have some pride in yourself, and some dignity.

When this race started, I was ambivolent about supporting Barrack. But after reading some of the attacks on Clinton from his supporters, I will not vote for him. If Clinton is not the nominee, I will write her in (I could never vote for McSame as Bush). What really put me over the edge was the demands that Clinton quit months ago when she and Barrack were just a few delegates apart. I like what Barrack has to say, but his supporters are very disrespectful toward Clinton. And with the news media's attacks on her, her gains are very impressive. Clinton has not attacked Barrack personally, which is more than I can say for either the news media or his followers. She has shown that she can handle criticism much better than Barrack.

Bucky

Are you trying to change the rules again. The rules have been the same for 30 years. Hillary agreed to them at the beginning of this race, even about Florida and Michigan. Hillary and Bill are trying to put all kinds of spin on her numbers to get super votes.
As for negative campaigning, I think they are both guilty of that. The biggest difference was that Hillary and Bill did most of it on her side, while Obama kept his hands clean and let his surrogates do it on his side.
No matter what, America cannot stand another 4 years of Bush goverment, which is what McCain would be,

Hillary, you are dreaming. If you can't handle this how would you handle the leader of Suadi Arabia or Iraq who put women even lower than you think you have been treated.

Grow up or get out.

I will never vote for Hillary!

Obama is the Democratic nominee and Hillary will not be his VP. He will pick a VP that represents honesty and the ability to bring people together and that folks is not Hillary Clinton.

Beverly, the media isn't trying to decide for the all, the media don't have to, the numbers decide, and he has them...dah

The same old bias politics as always, it seems there are individuals who that hold hatred within their demeanor due to a person gender or race. My question why? Why shouldn't the candidate be chosen because of their abilities and your belief in their service to the nation, why do you have to criticize and down talk the opponent? This nation has a long ways to go. We are not there yet, we are still divided in so many instances, simply because we are not able to look past the race and the gender issue. Why do you think the nation continue to be in turmoil?

Even if Obama wins over Clinton and put her on the ticket I as a dem would go with McCain because this country needs experience that Obama does not have. The media was Obamas biggest supporters and pushed voters to him unfairly. Its plain and simple. This is not a race issue but a experience issue. So after being a dem my whole life I will push people I know to McCain so we can get the experience we need to run this country.

Has anyone given an example of these unfair attacks by Clinton here or elsewhere? Just one will do for me. Don't say that Hillary went negative without giving a specific example to prove what you're saying.

I'm in PA, and the campaign was going on civilly and ethically - until Obama's camp put out a flyer which deliberately distorted Clinton's health plan and which he had to withdraw after a weak apology. Then, about a week later, Obama's camp ran an ad stating that he was "the only candidate who didn't take money from oil companies," a big lie which implied that the ONLY other candidate in the campaign (Clinton) did take money. They had to back down from that, too, especially after the Clinton campaign showed how much money Obama was really getting from oil company employees.

See, that's what I mean by examples, and that's when I saw the campaign "go negative" for the very first time.

I like how Clinton and her supporters like to change the rules. This is the system our party agreed upon and this is the system we have to work with. Get with the program and stop trying to change the rules.

Obama has attacked Clinton just as much but CNN will not print that. It's been known for a long time who CNN supports by the way it attacks Clinton in their articles.

For the Hillary supporters, if Obama is the nomination then we have to vote for him. We cannot take another 4-8 years with a Republican in the White House. It wouldn't make since not to vote for Obama.

Looking from the outside in, I find it puzzling to see you guys fight among yourselves when the USA as so much work to do to regain its credibility in the world. Your old politics as usual is hurting the whole planet.

It is also puzzling to see Clinton supporters saying they would vote McCain. Clinton and Obama seems to have a very similar agenda. So... If you are gonna vote for McCain who is far from Clinton on his agenda, you are certainly not very committed to the ideas and the agenda put forward by Clinton!

Clinton's agenda would move forward with Obama, not with McCain. So... Why are you supporting Clinton then? Clearly not for her ideas... Weird.

Why do people keep inferring that Obama "bought" the election? The majority of his funds came from WE THE PEOPLE. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? It's not his fault if people do not trust Hillary enough to donate their hard-earned money. Some of us are struggling and still chose to donate to Obama, because we truly believe in his campaign. Her campaign is bankrupt because she did not spend within her means. Our country currently has an insurmountable debt, we need CHANGE.

Please explain how you can support someone you don't trust, felt attacked her opponent unfairly (by a huge percentage), believes to have lied about her experience, etc.; yet you continue to vote for her to lead this country. We have come out a horrific 71/2 years of someone we could not trust, attacked his opponents unfairly, lied about his experience that has put us in a recession, possible depression; and you want more of this. There is a reason and only one reason for the voters of Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia to want Hillary Clinton; she is not BLACK. When someone stands up and says this and only this, then we won't have to ask those stupid questions; why can't Obama win these states.....

I firmly agree with RickytheGriff - we have to think against the republicans and more of the same, not against the democratic nominee, whomever it will be. And racism is definitely a factor here, as we can see in so many of the comments. Shame!

Ask yourself this: If this were ANY other candidate, would this even be an issue or would the candidate have stepped aside a LONG time ago? This fiasco is pure arrogance on the part of the Clintons. They are thinking of themselves, rather than the good of their Party.

Lets face when your losing its fourth down in the fourth quarter you have two choices. Throw the long ball or punt! She keeps throwing all these long shots and its too late and they didn't work. The real question is why does she continue to fight a losing battle INSTEAD of doing whats best for this country. Hmmm reminds you of another person in office thats doing the same thing in IRAQ!

This is absurd. His campaign is the boy who cried wolf and he's about to meet the wolf.

Nothing Clinton did or said was unfair to Obama in any way.

He has been treated with kid gloves by the media and cries racism every time he is criticized in any way.

And Senator Obama STILL won. This just shows that John McCain will
be no Match for Senator Obama.

Hillary is grasping at straws and should drop out. We don't need another Clinton in the white house.

The sad thing is how many vehement supporters devour every bit of divisive propoganda that spews from her dubious maw as if it were Truth From On High.

... one need look no further than the content of these comments to see it, and it's nothing short of frightening.

can someone say RACIST

With all the CNN biased analysis against Sen. Clinton, it's no surprise that the polls showed this result. It's highly likely that people were unduly influenced by the pundits constant negativity in reporting on the Senator's campaigning. There are people who will believe anything they see or hear on TV.

If the Clinton's really cared about the country she would stop tearing this party apart it is her selfishness that will get us another four years of the bush tactics just because maybe the states were at on time the states that won the election but at last count there are fifty states not just Kentucky and west Virginia besides if the people are true democrats they will vote for there party in November Clinton needs to stop her whining and get behind the party

She can give it but she can also take it. She's a strong woman (not like Obama who cries over everything that's said about him).

I'm a registered Democraft but If Obama is the nominee I'm voting for McCain.

My grandmother always said, what goes around come around. That saying, Hillary has done nothing but run a hate filled campaign and she deserves everything she is getting back. The problem with her is she wants everyone to believe that she is a strong woman (well guess what I am too) but does not want to roll with the punches!!! Here is a bit of advice for you, before you enter the game with the "adults", make sure you know who the players are and what will happen when you step out of line. Some players are very unforgiving and they have long memories!!!

The Obama supporters and even Obama himself STEREOTYPE parts of America to suit their liking. There is hate, racism, etc. in all parts of the country. So to those of you pointing the finger at the south and those less populated regions of the country as being less educated or poor point the finger back at yourself because you are the ignorant ones. There are many fine cities, towns, restaurants, shopping, and yes people (educated or not) in all of these regions. Quit flattering yourself that you have to be "Obama educated," to make a decision on President of the United States. I'm educated and live in Georgia and will not vote for Arrogant Obama. I'm switching parties mostly based on the wreckless attitude of Obama and his supporters. I probably will vote straight republican just seeing how loosely the superdelegates are voting! The superdelegates should support the candidate that they feel is best for the job. They shouldn't be allowed to switch just so the can ride the coattails of the nominee. Have a great day!

TO all of those saying that Clinton attacked Obama because of his race, NEWS FLASH!!!! Obama is ONLY where he is BECAUSE he in black, that is the ONLY reason he made it so far.

Keep telling yourselves otherwive but thats the truth.

Hillary should think about how her actions is dividing the party. She is making sure if she doesn't win, the Democratic Party doesn't win. Her actions states "If I don't win, we don't win!"

Confucius once said "The nobler sort of man emphasizes the good qualities in others, and does not accentuate the bad. The inferior does the reverse". It is obvious from watching this race Barack have taken the higher road and Hillary have not. I fault Barack for not hitting her harder on some issues that clearly would have expose her for the liar she is, but fully understanding what his message is which is leave the old politics and focus on the real issue I can understand his reluctance for calling her out. The rebublicans will use dirty politics because that's all they can hold on to, but in this age of technology we can see the damage first hand the republicans have cost American if not the world and must say we are mad and need a change and the only person offering that right now is Barack. He knows it won't be easy and he has said that, but he is ingaging the American People and paving the road which a Good Statesman should.

I simply do NOT understand all you people who state that if Hillary isn't the Democratic candidate you will vote for McCain. What are you thinking?? Even Hillary herself has pleaded with her followers not to do that. I can understand preferring Clinton over Obama, or Obama over Clinton – but they are both Democrats and their platforms are very similar. So because YOUR candidate doesn't make it you'd vote for four more years of the same crap we have now?? C'mon, people! Get real!!

Obama copied her policies so the only thing to debate was who had more experience (which she clearly wins) and who is more likeable (which Obama wins by playing the "poor me" race card and making everything Hillary says "an unfair attack")

Get Real – Hillary tried to warn us that Obama hasn't been fully vetted – if she really wanted to get dirty, she whould have brought up all the crap in his closet (which she clearly knows about and the DNC is too scared to bring up for offending the African Americans). You can bet the Republicans don't care – this time they won't even have to make stuff up – it's all true! (Rigged state senate elections, bribes, kickbacks, profiting from the war, Chicago mafia, ...... )

Obama will never be president!

I didn't know Obama was bi-sexual.

Experiencing his first American election, my British husband once commented that Hillary never directly answers a question. She is a hedger. She voted for the war in Iraq because it was popular at the time to do so, and she also voted for the Patriot Act. Her experience is largely a result of her having married a President, so I suppose that means that Laura Bush now has presidential experience, as well. She wants to run on her husband's record when it suits her and runs against her husband's record when it doesn't. She touted NAFTA before she was a candidate and now runs against it. Her husband's administration was a disaster for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and civil liberties, a marvelous precursor to G.W. Bush. Her ads focus negatively upon Obama, while his ads focus on hope and change, not upon her and the shady dealings of her and her husband. Sure, she has experience. She's a Washington insider whose main concern is herself and her vaulting ambition. Mark my words: The Clinton marriage will split once the political motives for staying together are played out.

Listen folks. We all know the economy is doing poorly right now. Hillary, no doubt is a fighter. But her financial reports released last night show that she took in closer to $21 million not $22 million.

She is now $31 million dollars in debt. She owes $19.5 million dollars in unpaid bills to vendors and last month alone, she put herself another $9.5 million dollars in debt.

This is the same candidate that is talking about solutions for our economy. This isn't about sex or race, it's about *good* solutions. I am disgusted with the Clinton campaign not paying their unpaid bills. That is not a quality that I want in a leader.

Obama has skeletons in his closet. I think that it would be wise if Hillary stays in the race when things finally start coming out.

To: get with the program

you left out white woman, for some reason she thinks she is so much better then obama, if this was a white man, do trust it would have been a lot different with the voting numbers for ky and wv. if time could rewind, i would change my vote for bill to stop her as first lady, she has demonstrated she didn’t deserve such a all american spot as that, the real person has shown her heart.

we the african american voters rallied around and supported her husband and all she has given us is racially divided support to states with uneducated working white voters, she fooled us all with her outside fakeness. if it was the Oscars she would have received the best actress as the white prejudice, arrogant and selfish centered award. My daughter asked me why did she thinks she was better than obama? didn’t they both have most of the same future agenda for the country? I told her some people still have a long way to go to get the ice out of their hearts.

she can bring on her negative attacks against obama, obama and his supporter are ready, been ready for her and mccain.

she can fool some of the people some of the time, but some people none of the time……

I am SO TIRED of being told that people who don't want to vote for Hillary are sexist. It's hard to see how, as a white female, I can be sexist in voting for someone else. (Maybe elitist because I've got a master's degree? Maybe lazy because I don't work in a factory?)

I am excited for the day that there could be a "first woman president," I just don't want it to be this one. Why? Maybe because I'm just not interested in a shrill, lying, hypocritical nag who courts racists and stupid people.

There, now I'VE said "what we're all thinking."
And remember, a vote for McCain is a vote for a prolonged Iraq war and more judges like Roberts and Alito...

. . . Birds of a feather, flock together.

Yes We Can.
Obama 08.

What I don't understand with Clinton is that everything she feels that she is not doing good....she brings up some nonsense! Now she is talking about "SEXISM" honey everybody knows that you are a woman, AND? Obama is BLACK...Imagine the pressure he gets...give it a break. We are tried of your stories....you are a true clinton.

Here is some news Obama fans. Remember that little internal memo that Clinton mentioned on the radio talk show? About how the Obama campaign wanted everyone to target things the Clinton's said and twist to make it look racist? Well it was REAL! It was after the New Hampshire primary and Obama knew he would be in trouble if he didn't get an overwhelming majority of the African-American vote now that they were going to the South. He race baited the Clinton's unfairly. This is your new brand of Politics? It sounds like Carl Rove went to work for Obama and got the go ahead to use all the dirty politics he knows so well. With Obama's whole hearted approval. Come on he comes from the political culture of Chicago. Oh year that slum landlord he said he barely knew that gave some $160,000 to his campaigns? He has ties to an Iraqi millionaire who was involved in the infamous Oil for money scandal in Iraq and was good ol Saddam's moneyman. Oh the Conservatives got more than Reverend Wright's rantings to throw at this guy. Oh yeah and that Democracy loving Obama did in fact interfere with a revote happening in Michigan. You fools! You didn't need anybody to cheat on the vote in the general election. You did it to yourselves this time.

Never has there been somebody more deserving and entitled to be POTUS than Hillary Clinton, the upcoming election should have been nothing more than an affirmation of her entitlement to be President.

Her moral authority is absolute.

This nationwide betrayal of Hillary Clinton will go down in history as a national trajedy.

It is an election everyong attacks...get over it....if poor Obama can't take the heat from Clinton just wait until the GOP gets hold of him....

"She will not win agains the Republicans because by the time they get done reading off the long list of trash that occured with her and Bill'

Actually you are misinformed. See all that dirty laundry has already been aired. The republicans spent 8 years trying to get something on them already and the best they could do was monica.

Obama on the other hand has a long sad history of cocaine addiction and many many skeletons in his closet. His wife is already whining because she got jumped by the republicans. Wake up honey. If your cocaine abusing hubby does get the nomination it's far from over.

After the big deal CNN made of Obama's little gathering in Oregan, I was impressed that Hillary has done so well there. She really is more electable.

TO JOSH

Proportional allocation of delegates is not done by most states according the mathematical percentages. There are political allocations where sections of a state who have been "more democratic" in the past receive a higher allocation of delegates for fewer actual votes. What that formula is depends on each state. I am from Texas and the formulas are quite interesting.

Towards a better USA and world in 2009

A vote for McCain is a bad thing.

He is a radical Republican, but will make sure the rich stay rich. After all, his wife is the president of a huge company, given to her by daddy.

You think for a moment that McCain will do anything to stop his money pot from flowing?

Hate Obama, think he is not prepared – whatever you want.

Then don't complain when McCain leaves our troops in Iraq for another 100 years. Don't complain when gas reaches $5.00 a gallon because McCain doesn't see a problem with that. Don't complain when abortions become illegal. That's what you will get with a vote for McCain.

I think Hillary has finally captured her core constituency in the Appalachians region – The Snuffy Smith and the Hatfield vs. McCoy voters.

Regarding MI and FL versus removing some of the caucus votes, the rules were in place when the primaries began. Everyone voted based on the rules. To change the rules now can not be fair. Was it fair for MI and FL to try to move their primaries up without the consent of the DNC? NO. Was it Obamas fault? NO Was it Hillary's? NO Did they both sign an agreement saying MI and FL would not count? YES Did they both know that the caucus states were going to count? YES So to argue that we should remove some of the votes of the caucus states after the fact is absolutely ridiculous. The people in MI and FL were cheated of their votes because of their representatives and many people did not vote or didn't pay much attention to their votes because they knew their votes wouldn't count. The ones to be angry with are the representatives of those states. To count the votes now would be unfair. If Hillary wanted to stand up for those voters at the time she signed the agreement, that was the time to speak her mind but now it is too late. It is one more example of her trying to change the rules after the fact.

Go figure, people talk about how unfair unfair attacks are but they still voted for her anyway. What does that tell you , unfair attacks work. 60% in west virginia believe that she unfairly attacked Obama but they still voted for her anyway.
Now Clinton is crying fowl over sexist attacks on her, you have heard that saying haven't you , THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD , DIE BY THE SWORD. ..
Go Dems.

I think its a ashame the way cnn has treated Hillary ,if it was left up to cnn Obama would have already been elected .she wasn't given a fair change.Thank god for fox tv.

The thing we do not know, despite polls trying to determine this, is how these folks will vote in November in the GE. Other than in W. Va and Kentucky, where issues beyond the issues may be in play, we do not know that democrats in PA, OH, CA, etc. will NOT vote for Obama if he is the nominee. Sure, Clinton won those, which indicates that, at the time of the primary, she was the choice. However, given the similarities of the two on the issues, it does not mean that those folks will not support Obama over McCain.

Unfortunately, the divisive issues will cause some people to vote out of spite. I see it more from Hillary supporters who seem to feel it is an affront to women if she is not allowed to manipulate the system, but there are those (possibly myself included) who would strongly consider not voting for her due to her my-way-or-the-highway attitude and relentless pursuit of things by any means possible including lies and moving goalposts. That will surely get us 4 more years of partisan politics since she makes a lot of enemies along the way.

It is sad to see the Clintons who were once idealistic advocates for equal rights reduced to blatant Race-Baiting when it comes to the elections!
Together they have squandered all the goodwill they have accumulated during the 90s. Seems like even those who voted for her are not fooled!
I would have gladly voted for a Woman president! But not this one!

OBAMA08!

I think it is very sad that Hillary is being allowed to carry on the way she is. IF SHE WAS IN OBAMA'S SHOES THIS WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER IN FEBURARY, BUT HER BEING ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON WITH THIS NONSENSE IS CRAZY . SHE NEEDS TO STOP BEING A SORE LOSER AND BOW OUT GRACEFULLY , WHILE SHE STILL CAN , WITHOUT MAKING A FOOL A HER SELF , IT RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

As I read some of the comments, I feel sorry and angry with those who base their decision on the color of a person's skin. They might as well hang a sign around their neck that says look at me. I am stupid! These same mentalities are also prevalent in various radical circles in the Middle East, hate and kill those who do not believe as we do. Yes, having freedom of speech is one reason America great. It also points out where our educational system has failed.

I am so sick of this Clinton stuff. Who says we have to change all the rules, create new math and bow down to her? Why does she feel she deserves special treatment. The Super Delegates see the counts, know who the best candidate should be. They should pledge their votes now. What are they scared of? Obama is the people's choice. The delegate count is there already, why take this to the DC Floor. This is just dividing the party. The rural areas that Clinton says she can get and Obama can't, will swing over for the general election after Obama starts to champagne in those states. It's either that or these folks will have to choose between, Homes, Gas or food with 4 more years of a Republican.

"I claim to be a Democrat but if Hillary doesn't get the nomination I'll vote for someone whose policies are the exact opposite of both Democrats!"

Nothing but selfish whining. I voted for Clinton, she lost, now it's time to circle the wagons and get Obama nominated. So sick of people trying to blackmail the rest of us, who actually care about helping the people losing their houses, rebuilding New Orleans, and getting out of Iraq.

Life isn't fair. Is it fair that males are relatively rare in the precinct caucuses for Hillary? Is it fair, or "racist", that more than 90% of blacks vote for Obama? I see complaints that whites vote for Hillary because of racism but no complaints that blacks vote for Obama. Is that fair or is it a reasonable reaction to a long history?

Would it be unfair to ask that the candidates stop whining about having their feelings hurt and focus on a real debate about detailed solutions that might actually work?...solutions that recognize that most people will act in their own perceived self interest?

Dear Alan,

Either Clinton or McCain would be better than Obama for the following:

Both understand foreign policy better than Obama (Obama said that his childhood years in Indonesia is he foreign experience!).

Both understand national defense better than Obama. Obama is stuck in the cold war mentality of defensive measures; as witnessed by his dismissive of Iran because they don't have the defense budget of the former USSR (I doubt the recent terrorists do either).

Both can work with the other party better than Obama, who says he can but has only been in the Senate for 2 years and 1 of which he has been campaigning.

Both have laid out detailed policies that are pragmatic, while Obama continues giving great speaches but without any depth.

I understand your liking of Obama, he is great to listen to. But he has no depth or experience and shows an great deal of naivite in foreign policy matters as well as domestic issues.

If the US is in need of real change, we need someone who can deliver as well as talk about it. Obama can surely talk, but if you read Obama's website with any degree of thought, you will discover that there is really nothing there of any substance.

I have never heard Obama attack Hilliary. I disagree that the news media picked on dear little Hilliary...they were to busy slamming Obama on the Rev. Wright issue. Even though Obama may lose the general do to all of Hilliary die hard feminist not voting for him than pat yourself on the back as your son's and daughters come home in a box. I can afford to pay for gas and I have a nice home paid for and worth alot of money...I can afford to ride out the bad times...soooo I hope you can too. So go ahead and vote for McCain....I figure I still won as I knocked that vicious power crazed woman out of the race.
Obama may not win but at least I know the louzy Clintons won't be in the White House.

Wow I find it odd that majority of people use the excuse that Obama lacks experience to hide the fact that race played an important role. As an international I've been following closely on the election process as I feel it will at some point indirectly influence my life and honestly I'm surprised that after the 8 yrs of nonsense with the Bush administration people are willing to put up with another 4 yrs of it for fear of a Black President. It's ridiculous, you folks need to get over yourselves and think about the bigger picture.

This sounds to me like the public buying into the pro-Obama media spin. How about Obama's accusation against Clinton of using the gas tax holiday as a political gimmick, while he himself spearheaded an identical intiative in Illinois. He'd even gone so far as to suggest all gas stations should post notices giving him credit for price reduction. I'm sick of his fantasyland nonsense.
NObabm '08

obama is a typical politician, whos attacks on hillary were done through his surrogates. the presumptive nominee only won 2 counties in KY, and zero counties in WV, this late in the primaries. he will never beat mccain in november. it's the map, not the math! hillary is ahead of mccain in electoral delegates, obama is behind mccain. hillary is the stronger candidate, and the only chance to win back the whitehouse.

Alan,

Its because Hillary DESERVES IT! Can't you read her last name? That's all that should matter.

And the people still voted for her. It just shows you the difference between the educated and the uneducated.

Alright!

Hillary is within reach of winning the nomination!

I am usually an avid watcher of CNN from here in Canada,however am increasingly disappointed with your coverage of the elec tion as it relates to Barack Obama.Save for Jack Cafferty you are obviously biased in favor of Hilary Clinton who contiinues to seek victory from the "Jaws of defeat".Lets get real down there,and start to recognize a winner although it would seem that ,like Mrs Clinton,you refuse to accept it.!!!!!!!
Chris

I think Obama understands the Electoral College. He was after all a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago.

People didn't think he could win the nomination several months ago. Yet, he has managed to outraise and out maneuver the mighty Clinton machine and her burst her aura of inevitability.

Of course, this country is in this predicament due to bigoted idiots in kentucky, west virginia, mississippi, alabama, georgia, carolinas, oklahoma, louisiana, and texas.

why oh why do the decent folks of the rest of the country have to keep paying the price for their stupidity and arrogance?

LET THEM LIVE IN THEIR OWN FILTH!

WE NEED TO CUT THEM LOOSE AND WRITE THEM OOF THE WILL!

WE NEED TO DIVORCE THEM!

DECENT PEOPLE OF THE UGLY DEEP SOUTH! MOVE NORTH, WEST OR WEST, AND WE'LL START A NEW COUNTRY where prejudiced imbeciles are NOT welcome.

And that is why he is winning on a promise of Change. She is politics as usual and has not figured out that just does not work with the country anymore.

GENDER and RACE discrimination goes both way. So when Hillery and her peeps keeps talking about being discriminated against because of her gender during this campaign what makes them think, even more now than before, it's not being player out the other way around when so many women voted for her and not for the man???? Oh! And OBOMA happens to be a BLACK MAN.

And as most of us knows already there are certain element of the American society that will always remain ignorant forever.

I can still remember the headline from a British news paper after the 2004 election "HOW CAN 51 MILLION PEOPLE BE SO STUPID?" Let hope they won't have to reprint that headline.

This Democratic primaries have been tolal circus.
First of all DNC and ex- presidential runner (loosers) have organized anti-Clinton campaign and decided long time ago who will be nominee, so why so much husle by going to vote?????
To me such action is undemocratic and I am not voting for the party but for someone who will do good for my country and me.
We can't afford an inexperienced person to lead the country now that we are facing so many problems. Obama is not ready therefore as Sen. Clinton's supporter will vote rather for Sen. McCain than Obama as he scares me due to his luck of experience.
Empty promises will not get us out of problems we are facing today.

Is it her that unfairly attacks or is it the media that uses the crap against her? This is an "at this moment society" that is subjected to information overload 24/7. Why are people still saying awful things about her? Can't even let her win for losing?

You people are puzzling me....anyways congratulations Hillary! Now can you please quit so we can concentrate on taking on the Rep.

OBAMA 08

Not only did Hillary unfairly attack Barack, she attacked HERSELF by bringing up sexism, racism, and whateverism to her campaign. She sabotaged herself with her ridiculous strategies. If this country is EVER to see a woman in the White House, she better campaign without the chips on her shoulders about being male, female, white, black, or whatever color......I am so fed up with this election, I can't wait till its over and this country can go back to taking care of its people.

Its time to retire this discussion and get to the work of
electing a democrat. McBush is such a looser that we must focus on ensuring that he doesn't have a shot. Democratic house, senate, white house in 08–

This woman is likened to the crazy aunt in the attic that you simply can't ignore or get rid of. She is like a bad penny that keeps showing up.

"Dimples May 21st, 2008 2:05 am ET

I think that Obama is sucking up to Hillary and Hillary's voters. Cause he thinks that IF she loses he will get all her people. The ONLY way I'de vote for him is if she is his vice president. Other wise I will vote for Mc Cain. I'm proud to say that I was one of those over 4.000 voters in Kentucky."
======================================================

Obama does not have to "suck up" to any Hillary voter or Hillary herself. He doesn't have to. If you and other Hillary supporters could get past your hatred and bitterness against Obama (for reasons known only to yourselves in your heart, not what you post here), You would realize that both of them are democrats with very similar views and agendas but maybe you just don't want to see an "uppity" black man run the most powerful country in the free world. Why should he make her his VP; the way she has treated him throughout this election season has been so vile and negative, he would be committing political suicide to have her on his ticket; I would sooner he bring in Kathleen Sebelius who is actually FOR him AND who can bring in the "Hardworking blue-collar white voters" for him than Hillary and all the baggage she will bring with her to the convention.

Obama/Sebelius '08

That Clinton attacks Obama is nothing new, and shouldn't be in the news.

yet she is crying and so are her supporters. They would not know fair play if it was served with french fries and cola.

CNN be more specific with your news, are these exit polls based on the past attacks or are they based on recent attacks. I am an Obama supporter but the news is a little confusing to me, or maybe not, because attacks from Sen Clinton is no more something to surprise us.

Still Obama until 2016

Imagine if Obama had not played the race card against Bill Clinton and Ferrero, the democrat party would be more unified now. But, I don't blaim anyone for voting for McCain after that.

Hillary Clinton is dishonestly misspeaking her goal for a full, 50 State race. In truth, Wolfson and her are trying to foist a 50 – 48 1/2 scenario on the DNC and the American public. Yes, they want all of her votes to count, but not Obama's.
Also, in deference to her claim to be Goldilocks, it is a fairy tale to pen the story they cares about voter disenfranchisement. Wolfson and her are willing to disenfranchise the 48 States that dutifully stood in line while 2 'crashed' in the back door for front row seats. They don't care about the educated voters in FLA and Mi who stayed home, The also would disenfranchise the Obama, and the Edwards supporters in MI who had Clinton and Uncommitted to choose from. (Over 238,000 chose the latter!)
--
On May 31, Wolfson will be putting a marked deck of cards on the Democratic National Committee's desk. Following is an Idiot Proof explanation of why it will NOT work.
----
Last night, after KY and Ore, though she has been saying it for weeks, ***she finally got over 17 million votes. (Watch her say 18 million!)
For real, she actually went ahead in 'counted' popular vote as well. She 'surged' ahead by 71,000 votes.
Leaving the imprpoer count in FLA aside for a second, is okay to say Obama should have 'some' votes in MI. He has 0, she has 328,000, (proud to be 100,000 ahead of her competitor in MI 'Uncommitted'!)
If the DNC allocates Obama a mere 40% in Mi he goes ahead by 170,000 in the total popular vote. Another way to explain it; if the DNC allocates 12 of the MI vote to Obama he goes ahead in the popular vote. (12%!)
On MI alone Obama wins popular total vote, but let's look at FLA. Does anybody really believe his percentage in that State would be only 33% compared to Clinton's 50%. Most of the missing 17% would go to Obama, further widening his popular vote lead.
-–
*** For the purpose of this post, all 50 States were calculating using the charts I found on Google at "real clear politics".
Hillary, for the sake of gracefulness, drop the concoction that Wolfson is putting under your nose. Obama won the popular vote if you throw him a bone in MI. yes it's close, 200,000 or so.

Clinton and her supporters have kept one thing deep in their bowels...hatred.
So no matter how much lies she tell...
No matter how much wrong she do...we cower inside.
BUT NOT THIS WOMAN...TIME WE START TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE.
OBAMA 08

Keep going, Hillary. Don't let the cult members force you out. I will NEVER vote for Obama. If it's not Hillary, I'll be a McCain Democrat in November.

To the supposed democrats on this board please explain why you won't vote for Obama? Simple question, the only difference between the two is really heath care. So what's your big issue?

Since when is pointing out your opponents deficiencies unfair?
Have you taken a look at the differences in healthcare? Rhetoric does not make sure every american has health insurance. Style versus substance. A lot of talk does not indicate maturity. That is why many voters will go to mccain over obama.

It's pretty bad when your own supporters are convinced you attacked your opponent unfairly. Barack Obama is a gentleman of conviction and grace who will inspire ALL of us to be more than we are and improve our country for the betterment of all our citizens and residents.

Proud Obamican

I'm sure a number of the agitators here are from Operation Chaos, but there are certaily a fair number of Hillary supporters who, for some reason, enjoy shoothing themselves in the foot.

If any of you Hillary supporters are so shortsighted that you lose focus on the bigger picture that you would vote for McCain, then you deserve everything you get from when McCain appoints more conservative justices who will overturn Roe v Wade.

When more and more American soldiers come home in bodybags, you can sit there smuggly as the coffins are unloaded, knowing you voted for four more years of this.

If you need to take your child to the hospital and are turned away because you don't have insurance or cannot afford the deductible, you at least take can comfort your by telling your child that mommy or daddy didn't vote of Obama, because he was mean to Hillary.

When you go to the grocery store or fill up your gas tank, you can ponder how the wealthy are doing with their permament tax cuts.

So, bitter Hillary supporters, go ahead and vote for McCain.

If you think that Clinton has attacked Obama, just wait until the real bad guys start slinging mud at Obama. Recall a small group of right wing fanatics called themselves Swift Boat, attacked a War Hero with theior trash, and now we have Obama who wears a lapel pin flag only occasionally and has show himself ignorant of the flag code and the rendering of proper honors. They will have a field day with him once they start. So we will have the chance to see how he holds up when the attacks REALLY begin. Today its been friendly banter.

Alan,

I guarentee you at least 2/3 of the people saying they'll vote for McCain over Obama are republicans anyways.

At first, I thought this whole "Republicans posting to keep up chaos" was complete nonsense, but after watching the posting patterns, there really is some truth to it.

Just a few days ago, someone posted some nonsense. A few minutes later, another "random" poster said some more divisive BS. 10 minutes later they began to repost IMMEDIATELY after each other in certain intervals. Now it's a might big coincidence that 2 people who don't even know each other magically repost at the same time repeadily.

I agree with Impossible is nothing! Obama is opening up the doors to destroy racism in this country. Imagine That!.

Side note.. Remember when Bush asked the Saudis to release more oil and he basically laughed in his face? We need to have a president that will be respected world wide. I know Barack can do it!

BLAH....BLAH.....BLAH.....She is DONE. It is just a formalitly at this point. Rally behind Obama; if not then it will be Bush third term!!!!!!

im so tired of every one using what clintin has to say about obama what about what he says about her thats ok . hillary belongs as are president not some mosslem remember when you go to vote what happen in new york bye his people

Negative and unfair attacks? Welcome to the world of politics.

Let it go. You have become so negative, it's almost like you are desperate for ratings.

You know you guys don't support Obama - so stop with the act.

I am sad to hear 22% of white voters said race was a factor" Those same whites would be in the stands at Ky University basketball and football games cheering for black players.

Blacks have been supporting whites democratic choices for years now that their is a black candidate half of whites thinks he is unacceptable and will not vote for him.

This tell you Blacks have been used by the Demoratic party.

she has and she will, the clintons will do anything to get to power, it is about them, not the country or the people or the votes.
That is why if our Senator Obama can deal with theclintons and win this nomination _ which he has_ he will take over the GOP.

the clintons are the biggest political machine in the country and they are slimy, to say the least.. she relies on Rove's opinion, has the suport of Limbaugh, uses the GOP tactics and smear campaign, she might as well, run Republican.. I am not sure what makes her so different from Bush. she voted for the war, uses race and gender at her convenience to creat division, doubts and to bring us back to 1920, and then she goes on in public with huge lies, and gets away with it. then lastly, she stands by a man who has cheated on her, and really sends a horrible message.. i dont care how liberal you are, it is just not right.. to send that message to our young women,, that it is ok to stand by your cheating man, and that it is ok to put up with it, as long as you are getting some benefits, and sends young man the message that yes, go ahead and cheat............

she is so negative i am sick of seeing news about her.. and the billary too.. they are the past, we are now in the present and getting ready to face the future..

Oh dear! Oh my! Obama unfairly attacked! Poor baby!
Obama has seen nothing yet when the Republican Rove machine starts working against him. Buck up fellow – you want to be President of a very very big country show some backbone.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is the Only one who can beat the Republicans at their own game. Yes she can! She has stayed strong through this devisive campaign and yes she took some terrible attacks from Baby Obama, but has anyone mentioned it – no! All they say is that she is mean and pandering and polarizing, isn't that what Obama is doing??
Oh but he is a man and they all do it – right?!

That says alot about West Va and Kentucky doesn't it? They think Hillary has treated Obama unfairly, but voted for her anyway. It's ok to be unfair, but not ok to be african american.

Now she's blaming sexism ! What next ?? Very consistent w / her self-serving ,entitled attitude. Hillary & Bill have run the most unfair & devisive attack in history ,not to mention that it's within party. The Dem. party should dump her all together . Let her go back to the Repubs. as she certainly campaigns as tho she's still working for Goldwater, DEVISIVE & DECEITFUL !!!!
Hopefully NY will dump the carpetbagger in the next senate race.

Bigots are a joke in our country. They are the bottom feeders of this country. Any bigot of any race are completely useless to the progress of our country.

Bigots are okay with minorities paying equally in taxes for this country. Bigots want minorities to serve in Iraq and die for this country.

But, when there is a potential for a brillant (mixed-race) candidate to be president, sorry but, that is where minorites are supposed to stop.

Regardless if it's this election or not, BIGOTS are a dying breed. Good riddance!

What is so unfair about pointing out the bigotry of sexism? Or the fact of condescending Obama supporters who look down their noses at blue collar workers or Americans who can not afford Princeton or a Harvard education? Some of our heroes–fireman, school teachers, etc do not make the $50,000 Obama supporters appear to look down their noses at-

Hillary is a nasty campaigner and campaigns like the Republicans do. CNN, you should really set your focus back on the issues and stop giving us a steady diet of this cruddy "he said-she said" coverage. You and the rest of the media thrive on conflict. Well, we, your viewers and readers, do NOT! Get back on track, will you? You are doing the country a great disservice by straying from the really important issues of this election. Big deal about Hillary's nastiness. WHO CARES? Obama will get the nomination and win the election. Simply because Hillary beat him in OH and PA and KY does NOT mean McCain will automatically carry those states, especially after Bush's free trade economics exported millions of jobs overseas and McCain wants to continue those policies. McCAIN=3RD TERM BUSH; OBAMA=HOPE!!! OBAMA '08 AND '12!!!

This shows you some white americans, perfer to do bad for 4 or 8 years than to elect a black president.
Bottom line people with less than a high school education, cant read, they vote on the color only, their brain is too small to understand, voting for McCane is a vote to remain in the same stagnant situation

Clinton won both states in a landslide where your polls says voters accused her of "attacking" Obama. Clearly something is odd with your "poll." First of all, Clinton has never "attacked" Obama. She has drawn relevant distinctions about her experience and qualifications vs. his. Second of all, ANY criticism or even examination of Barack Obama is called "an attack" by the Obama camp. This is the Obama strategy. Vetting or criticizing Obama is considered an "attack." And if you aren't voting for him you are personally considered a "racist." A pretty repugnant strategy, if you ask me. And, while it might work in the Democratic primary, it won't work in the general election. The Republicans won't be kowtowed by the Empty Suit the way the Democratic party has. And after 35 years as a loyal, die-hard, civil rights fighting, equal rights fighting, environmentally conscious, community-oriented Democrat, I will be registering as independent.

One thing is sure HRC, want the nomination and would like to bring any math that is convenient at the time. What ever she had to do , she could have done at the biginning. Not change rules now. I can't believe people are voting for such an arrogant person. We had a arrogant govt for 8yrs.

And WHY did they still vote for her??????

Yesterday I listened to Hannity on talk radio to see the conservative point of view. After listening for an hour, it scared the daylights out of me. Those people are hate driven and are determined to defeat the democratic nominee, whoever it turns out to be. For those Clinton supporters who say they will not vote for Obama and Obama supporters who say they will not vote for Clinton, listen to the conservative radio for one hour. I promise you, you will unite and vote for whoever is the nominee. We cannot have more of the same, lose a woman's right to choose. Please, please, unite.

More proof of how backwards southerners can be, they say hillary attacks on barack obama are unfair but they vote for her anyway, with people like that behind you there's no way you win anything.

I congratulate Hillary for all that she is doing but at the same time do she really want a win that was based on racism. For both KY and PA that stated race was a factor in their voting Hillary needs to be the bigger person and tell them that if you are only voting for me because he is black than she doesn't need your votes. It is high time that we nip racism in the bud and it has no place in the elections.

Obama is soft. If people call you on your own comments and your platform explain yourself don't call people shameful. His guy is more of the same old, but just because he told them he wasn't they beleive him. Voters need to think and not vote for who has the coolest campaign slogans.

Jordan

He is 16 up in the national polls.

Go to RealClear Politics and look at all the polls comparing Obama to McCain and Clinton to McCain in different states.

Its clear that he is the leader.

No need to separate votes by race anymore, Clinton did that quite well over the last few weeks. Thats over.

Hillary supporters, if you are going to vote McCain instead of Obama because of how his supporters bash Hillary on posts, you should think about it first. Obama does not pay these people to bash Hillary. Obama, more than likely, does not read these posts. Obama does not bash HIllary, or KT, or WV. It's people on these posts and they are not running for President.

Hillary supporters are extremely angry, why, because Hillary screwed up her on campaign by the people she picked. Those who say they will vote for McCain, are just giving a reason to hide their racism.
Hillary is trying to blame it on sexism, but her supporters dont want to admit the racist campaign she has waged. Get a grip.
Go ahead and vote for McBush, you are just showing your racism.
When your rights are stripped away by a conservative court, then dont cry about it then.
Ignorant people.

I don't get it...

They say their candidate unfairly attacks the opponent and yet they vote for her??? I find this incredible. Do they not see if Hillary is attacking unfairly that she is lacking in character?? Don't they realize that if she is willing to do that to win it is a CLEAR INDICATION that she is willing to do and say anything to win. Are they saying this is a GOOD THING?? Why do they believe everything she promises to accomplish when you can see she will lie and use ennuendo agaisnt someone to win.

PEOPLE WAKE UP....IF YOU SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO'S LIES ABOUT OTHERS ....EVENTUALLY YOU WILL BE LIED TO AS WELL.

One other thing I AM FROM MICHIGAN...we should not be allowed to determine the winner.
WE BROKE THE RULES...NEWFLASH...HILLARY SUPPORTED US NOT BEING COUNTED UNTIL SHE DID NOT DO WELL ON FEB. 5th..CHECK THE RECORD.
Florida and Michigan will be seated BUT it must be done in a manner it DOES NOT effect the outcome of the primary season..That is only fair...
WE BROKE THE RULES...

Given that the media lost all sense of objectivity early on in this primary someone needed to point out differences in the candidates.

Let's also remember that Michelle Obama fired the first salvo with her remark that "....if you can't run your own house you can't run the White House....(paraphrased)...." But of course since that was directed at Hillary no one in the media seemed to care.....

I'm for the most qualified candidate and I'm for Hilllary Clinton.

America has not had peace ,since the Bushs' and Clinton's were in office.War, War, enough ,Obama has the right Idea, communication thats the first step, we need to rebuild our military.

It is time for Hillary to throw in the towel. Please stop trying to steal the nomination. How unbelievable is the notion of an Obama Pres/Hillary Vice ticket. They hate each other.

democrats who would vote for Mccain over Obama in the GE are either spitful about senator Clinton losing or are racist, because in terms of policies, Obama and Clinton are too close to vote for Mccain. By voting for Mccain you would be voting against your own economic interests

It is no surprise that Hillary won in KY last night, nor is it a surprise that Obama took Oregon ,based on the demographics.
However, I think Hillary needs to come out from behind Bills coat tails so that America can see her for who she really is.
If she had to "loan" her campaign $21 million dollars, the people have spoken.
Also, who does these polls anyway?? I am a white, working female and I am supporting Obama.

This is not new news, nor am I surprised that the results did not reflect in the vote either. Quite frankly, I would have been shocked if Obama had won or broke close to even in either KY or WV. As much as it was a dumb thing to say in politics, HRC was correct in that less-educated, lower-income voters have been way more supportive of her–and the same people have largely claimed that race is a factor.

Put those two elements together and it's not much of a stretch to say that a great deal of that "population," esp. among older voters, are some of the ones keeping racism alive in the country. Fair enough. If she doesn't care, so be it.

HOWEVER, I do think there is a difference between Black people voting for Obama (think "we shall overcome") and white people voting for Clinton based on race.

Hillary should have hired Karl Rove to run her campaign and promised Dick Cheney the VP slot, if she won the nomination. Then she could have got the Swift Boat people at attack Obama and his wife. All these steps would fit her personality and probably win alot of support from her fans.

Hillary is working to destroy her own party. She has torn it apart so badly that her supporters claim they will vote republican if she isn't given the nomination. What is wrong with you people?!?! Hillary and her supporters are acting like spoiled brats! Let me get it straight...Bush stole the election from Gore and now Obama is going to steal the nomination from Clinton. The democratic party never ceases to amaze me. I believe they are the negative party in everyway imaginable!

I don't think she overtly attacking Obama lately. Everything she says has covert implications.

But that's ok.There are some whites who would NEVER vote for a black person, so what.

It's disturbing, but it is a truth that blacks have dealt with for decades. This is nothing new.

My question is...can the Democrates win without the black vote? Take this nomination from Obama, and hopefully we'll find out!

A Concerned Independent that is supporting Obama

Now match that with her high distrust level among voters and you see why Obama will our next President!

This has nothing to do with this story but...Is it just me or is it weird that a lot of Clinton supporters are using the excuse that Obama doesn't share their values and McCain does. Well, Obama and Clinton share the same policies and McCain is the complete opposite. Can someone at CNN please ask these voters who are saying Obama doesn't share the same values to elaborate? I really think it's deeper than values. And it's really sad that these voters will let the economy go and support someone like McCain who is completely different than their candidate.

As a 50 something woman, I respect and admire Senator Clinton. My disappointment is her behavior as she ends this campaign- people recall the end not the high points. Do you think if she would have won, she would have claimed victory because she was a woman? No. She would say she's the best candidate? So, why does she lose because she's a woman.

No one wins every battle. We've come too far as successful, independent women to resort to whining, blaming and tears for losses.

"Floyd May 21st, 2008 1:54 am ET

I think Obama has good ideas. I think he will make a good President…someday. He says that Hillary Clintons' campaign has made a better place for daughters to 'come of age'. What I see is that he has shown those same 'daughters' that a man can come out of nowhere and BUY an election. That someone can come and purchase the dreams of a woman and replace it with his own. If there are inconvenient voters, simply don't allow their votes to count. Too bad Florida and Michigan, but you would jeopardize all those votes that I purchased for 3 to 4 times the amount my opponent could spend. I don't think you can ever have a fair election if you don't have fair election spending rules. PS I am a Canadian, but I have followed this campaign at least as closely as the majority of American citizens.
I wish whichever Democrat wins the nomination success in November, I just wish it weren't because someone could afford 3 to 4 times as much as the other candidate. That is not the kind of CHANGE America needs. It is not the kind of change that 'daughters should come of age in'. I know I am not an American, but consider this an opinion from someone who is not affected by being in the forest and unable to see the trees."
======================================================

You are not an American so I won't jump on you about your comment except to say that you really don't have a clear idea of how this political game is played. Obama was able to afford 3 to 4 times as much money to advertise because 3 to 4 times as many people donated to his campaign that believe in him such as myself so he did not BUY an election. If that were possible, Mitt Romney would still be in the race on the Republican side but you see what his vast fortune has done for him, right? Hillary had the same exact option to do what Barack did but her supporters either did not believe in her ever-changing message or just did not want to donate as much money to her. You cannot fault Obama for having the kind of money he has been spending because he got it from us hardworking Americans that gave it freely. Please make sure you read up about campaign finance laws in America before you make an educated guess as to what our candidates should and should not be allowed to spend.

Report from LA Times claims she is 31 million dollars in debt and has deferred payment on many of her bills.

Is it just a vanity campaign now?

Who is going to pay those bills?

She will have to rack up more debt to compete in the remaining states.

This is so irresponsible.

Obama and his camp spits on the Clinton's and calls them racists and Hillary is the one that is attacking unfairly??????

What a big FAT Obama lie!

What a load of Obama crap!

ObaSNOB and ObaLIAR puts out lie upon lie upon lie!

Obama the anti-American and racist is the one all along that been unfairly attacking Hillary and Bill.

Obama makes me sick!

jd –
Will you please punch her and knock her the hell out!!
THANK YOU.......

We seem to be the same America under the cover and never living up to what we used to be.The cover of the stars and stripes can no longer hide what we have become .When has the DOLLAR been less than it it is now. Face value or other wise ? We still continue to spend and the government encourages it !!!!
Bash ,bash,bash and its ok. If it was unfair will this allow our vision to be so clouded where we can't see who would be better for the country ? Hillary will be the same politics as usual with the same Democratic twist .If you want to change the way things are ,starting closer to the root of things then vote Obama.
Lies and deceit are still the way of the Republicans,recently. To the Democrats fault they objected to few things the President has wanted to do. He has covered up everything from his personel record to the reason we went to war .McCain has jumped from side to side so much that the Repuplicans don't belive he is brand new. !!!!They believe it is just a tactic to get elected .Vote but voter smart..for whom ever you vote for.

I am not aware of any official rules to campaigning for political office nor am I aware of any police force that enforces any rules existant or not. All is fair in love, war, and politics. If any candidate cannot take the heat, then the candidate should drop out. Fair? There are no rules like in a football game where referees drop flags and penalize. Voters need to get a grip. The prize is the highest and most powerful Office that of POTUS so there are no rules about "fair" that are well published for all.

THE CLINTON STRATEGY IS SIMPLE:

Hillary Clinton will not get the nomination this year. So throw in the kitchen sink, the mop bucket, racism, sexism, the nuclear weapons of the United States, Great Britain, Russia, India, Pakistan and France combined to damage Obama to the point where his historic candidacy becomes an absolute irrelevance.

Obama loses the general election, Clinton makes a point that only she could have beaten John McBush. Clinton comes back four years later to ressurrect her campaign and hopes to win.

President and Mrs. Clinton of all people should know by now that what is at stake in this election is not Barack Obama and the color of his skin; it is not about the Clinton family or their ego; it is about the greatest country in the world that has been reduced to humiliatingly begging the Saudis for oil; it is about the most affluent country in the world ignoring the suffering of its most vulnerable citizens; it is about a leadership that has squandered the trust of the people and their resources on a murderous misadventure in Iraq while those who murdered thousands of our brothers and sisters remain free and stronger to attack us again.

Americans do not have to wait in lines to buy gas or bread or milk to realize that the dignity, strength and influence of our country has been ALMOST irreversibly compromised during the past eight years by a leadership that has placed itself above the people and continues in earnest to perpectuate the damage they have visited upon this country.

If the Clintons truly love this country, even without wearing flag pins, they should seriously look through the prism of bigotry and put America first. This is the only noble thing they can do now, otherwise posterity will judge them harshly.

A HINT TO THE WISE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT!

What a surprise ! She complains about sexism but will stoop to nothing, nothing to win. She would make you ashamed of being a woman, frankly.

Why is it that Hillary is always unfair–could it be Obama & its supporters are sore losers????? Even Obama says "don't attack among other thins my family of me" but it's ok to attack anyone they want to. Games do go both ways what is good for one is good for the other–fair is fair-no body is more special or important than the other party –GROW UP AND IF YOU WANT TO PLAY BIG KIDS GAME GROW UP IF NOT GO HOME AND HIDE!!!!!

It is a shame that the Clintons will say and do just about anything to get what they want or to save face. They are both to smart to have to resort to such outdated political tactics. Today more than ever, we need leadership by example. Something, that I beleive is sadly missing in Washington.

The better candidate is losing because of race (He wouldn't be where he is without 95% of the black vote) >>>

The last time I lookded Blacks were the minority in this country. He has far more WHITE votes than black. Are there even any black people in Oregon and Kentucky?

Christopher Scorzo – Blacks have consistently supported white candidates. I'm sure racial pride plays some role in the black vote. But why shouldn't it? After decades of oppression and discrimination, African-Americans can now take tremendous pride that a black man will finally head the ticket of a major American party.

I can tell you as a Democrat, I am proud that my party was able to field two incredibly strong candidates.

Fighting dirty has become the American norm. There is no respect for the nice guy anymore. Notice the crap that shows up on You Tube. Kids beating up other kids, random acts of violence just to get noticed. We have become as sick as the Romans with their Arena sports only we never have to leave our homes. The ignorant think this shows strength of character. It only shows a lack of intelligence and ethics to me.

Kali,

You ask what does Hillary bring to the table? For heaven's sake, if you want to know then why don't you research it and find out JUST what she DOES bring. You obviously have a computer. Do your research and I promise, you will be shocked!

I don´t believe in CNN´s exit pools!

For those Clinton loyalists who definitely won't vote for Obama, may I suggest it was the same lunacy of voting logic that gave us 8 years of the worst, most destructive administration in Presidential history.

Clinton was my first choice, but frankly, I didn't like her pandering to racism when desperate, nor do I like her reliance on the same old Karl Rove tactics of seek and destroy. She fell into the trap of using the kind of political tactics that have worked in the past.

And the past politics is exactly what people are sick of, and why Obama is the nominee.

For for McCain if you're mad. But then don't complain when our economy and our world standing continues to spiral down the drain.

Everytime folks at cnn say what a wonderful acceptance speech Obama made, I think, heck, they could have just reran the last one he made, they all sound like "preaching" to me and I am tired of being "preached" to. He sounds more like Hitler than a President, his shouting gets on my last nerve...I can see it now if somehow he and his cronies pulled the election off in GE. His "State of the Union" will be followed by "Amen" and " Hallelujah"...I dont need a history lesson
everytime the leader of our country speaks.

THe motto of his campaigne should read, "Yes We Can Divide Our Party" good grief.

One last note, im a retired school teacher and for the first time in history to my knowledge, young folks can now read how terrible
2 of our greatest states are because a candidate lost there. I love you
West Virginia and Kentucky! I love all of our states. By the way, what the heck happened to "religion" in Oregon...you are beautiful state but
hey, you need God on your side, not just politicians.

For the people who will vote for McCain instead of Obama just because you're pissed, racist or whatever the case, go ahead. It just shows that the change we're promoting just may be better without you anyway. Change also means we're taking a new approach with a new mindset. Those who have the same old ways of thinking probably would be happier with McCain. But for us who wants to see a more unified America, Welcome!!
Yes We Can!!!!!!

At a time in history when news and election results are at voters finger tips . Hillary Clinton is trying to destroy Obama's run for president . The Clintons are the worst examples of a role models in the history of our country . Bill Clinton destroyed the honor of the position of the President of the United States by using this honor to aquire sexual favors from young interns in the oval office . The tour of the White House now has the added attraction of the spot our President had sex with at least one White House intern . Now Hillary Clinton refuses to admit defeat at the expense of Obama . Trying to cast doubt on the voters decision . Like her husband , she puts herself first and her political party and country second . The Clintons are a disgrace .

It's seen as unladylike to attack and so seen as unfair, but when McCain starts attacking Obama, it's just an expected part of the political process. The DNC and the Obama campaign have already started their attacks against the Republicans, but they are not jeered as unfair.

If you believe that either sexism or racism were not an issue, try these scenarios on for size an predict the outcomes:

- If Clinton were a black female running against Obama as a white male – Are the tactics unfair in this scenario? Would people's choice be the same?

- Or, Obama as a black female running against Clinton as a white male – Are the tactics unfair in this scenario? Would people's choice be the same?

Would * your* vote change? We can claim race and gender are not issues we consider and don't affect our choice for a candidate, but our votes tell a different story.

Young voters are desperate to distance themselves from their racist history, and very rightly so, but they don't clearly see gender bias and its affects, seeing it as less of an issue, or non-issue, or worse yet, a bunch of "whiners". When blacks complain, they are joining together and protesting in solidarity, when women complain, they are "whining".

This "sweetie" is highly offended!

What I love is no matter how much anti-Hillary stuff you guys in the media put out there, she keeps coming back and coming back and, even though it doesn't look like she'll get the nomination, it's pleasurable to see you guys falling all over yourselves saying that the race is over and she should just get out.

Look! lady- deal with it- Obama will clean up after this bush.
You need to get a life. I did not realize you were a woman. Real women wear dresses, skirts.

Get out of the closet.

I still don't understand how or why some Hillary supporters still say they won't voter for Obama, that they would stay home or vote for McCain. They act as though Obama has cheated or been personally attacking Clinton when it is the other way around. If Hillary fairly beat Obama and won the nomination I would 100% vote for her.

I am a loyal Democrat, though I will always vote for the best person for the job. But, I am shocked by some people who say they won't vote for him. Its as if they say if my candidate doesn't win then forget the DNC. Don't screw the country and our future because your candidate didn't win, go out and support the nominee because your a democrat.

Since no one has said it, I will say it, if the DNC changes the rules at the end and gives Hillary the nomination there is no way on God's green earth she will win without (and she will lose it) the black vote. This would be seen as a theft a sham and black america would turn its back on the DNC now and in the future. This is why the DNC is not going to go back and give Hillary her Fla. and Mich. delegates, at least not all of them, without giving Obama some as well.

Hillary might have one if she wasn't such a low life Bi- – h!!! All three Clintons make me want to PUKE!!. Can any of you die-hard Clintonites explain to me how Chelsea holds a job? Do any of you have jobs bought and paid for by your mommy and daddy? Will you be excused from work for several months while you go campaigning for your mommy? And you all want to call Obama an elitist? If you think cutting the gasoline tax would help, you got problems. $ 30.00 over four months would not help you. Neither will brainless pandering from Clinton. As far as her having the " OLD PEOPLE VOTE ", I am ashamed. I am a sixty one year old, white male, who "worked hard", and I am a Combat Veteran of the Vietnam War. Most of my familys men have served our Country. Why do the Clintons call Obama Unpatriotic? Why was Bill Clinton a sneaky DRAFT DODGER? Why is Bill an Adulterer? How many of you Old white women would have stayed with your husband, after he was caught, not once but dozens of times, having sex with other women? You may have stayed if you was going to use him for your own egotistical purpose. What about Whitewater, the pardoning of crimanals? None of thet counts in your dilusioned minds. I would vote for a women for President. just not a liar and a dirty politician, that thinks we owe her the position. I would not jump the party lines to vote for McSame either.

I love how, from among the thousands of polls asking all sorts of questions about both candidates, you guys pick the anti-Hillary one to lead with. Anything to prop up Mr. Unqualified.

I am certainly in favor of a woman being our top elected official, its probably long overdue, but given the inconsistencies of the whole Clinton era, i could not support Ms Clinton in her bid to capture the democratic nomination. Could i be the only one who still wonders about webster hubbell and white-watergate and the death of Vince Foster? I think that it is time for the Clinton's to fade from the public view and enjoy there sunshine years

This woman is a disgrace.

After she loses the nomination I hope we never have to hear from her again.

give them a brush for their tooth

So race was a huge factor. Again Billary preys on the non-educated white people. We this one is going to vote for obama. She makes me ashamed to be white.

For Jash,
Delegates are allocated not based on percentage of the vote, but on percentages of the vote in different district. these districts have more or less delegates, based of polulation. That means that it is possible to lose a primary and get more pledged delegates.

As an Obama supporter, I will be the first to say the press has treated Hillary unfairly.

However, if she was going to complain about sexism, I think it would have been better if she had done it earlier. The fact that she is doing it now in the face of Obama's inevitable nomination is just plain divisive. It's making all Hillary's supporters polarize and feel that the nomination was stolen from them, so that they now say they won't vote or worse yet will vote for McCain.

Fellow Obama supporters...do Obama a favor and stop being overly negative. All these blogs have comments that are unfair to Hillary. All these comments do is make Clinton supporters want to support Obama less and less. The important thing for all of us is to support the Democratic nominee.

To everyone...please unite and prevent another 4 years of Bush.

To Alan: The reason is very simple: Experience. This is one of the most (if not THE Most) important job in the world...President of the Unites States of America!!! And it requires a lifetime of EXPERIENCE!

America needs to do their homework!!!

Frequently, I read blogs and hear the commentaries about Clinton's supporters saying that if Obama was to win, they would either vote for McCain or not vote at all. What is missing is they have never said why they would not vote for Obama, which leads me to think that most of these voters will not vote for Obama only because he is black. This, if true would be an insult to the majority of North Americans as it is high time we got past the racial barrier.

Who is taking these polls and how are the questions being asked? What is "unfair" anyway? The facts do not jive with the analysis. Had there been fair coverage by the press or anything close to it of Mrs. Clinton, then I would say that what this article is trying to say deserves legitimate consideration. However, the attacks on Hillary have been so, forgive me, "unfair" and the fact that the article says that people voted one way and talked another suggest to me that this article is another fix just to trash Hillary. That is where the media is with me.

Seems like Obama supporters make more "unfair attacks" than either of the candidates.

so tired of hilarys lies and pandering.
make up different stories each day.
just like she does in each state she panders in.
cant wait til june 3--

All you Hillary people who say you won't vote for Obama evidently have no priciples. If you were for Hillary because of her policies, then you can't, in good conscience, vote for McCain who espouses the opposite policies than either Democrat. What childishness like that tells me is that you never cared about Hillary's policies in the first place.

Bucky: Then its a good thing we don't use pseudo-math and run democrat against democrat in the GE.

No Obama. He is dishonest. And talks without taking action. Hillary has been right all along. Let the voters in Florida and Michigan have their say! I have no faith in our election process until we get rid of the electoral college. The people's choice of President should be made by popular vote (which means Hillary Clinton) - not by shady business deals cut behind the scenes by another candidate and his wife in Chicago (Obama)! I'll write in Clinton.

Why are the CNN "analysts" blaming Clinton for the racist votes yet they never mention the enormous votes that blacks have provided to a black candidate…can anyone believe that all black voters cast their vote to Obama based soley on his politics and not because he is black?"
======================================================

Well for one thing, unlike Clinton who blatantly played the race card just before West Virginia, Obama has NOT ONCE said anything to get African Americans to come to him in droves. Secondly, those same enormous batches of blacks that are going for Obama, went for Bill Clinton in the 90s and had started going for Hillary at the beginning of this election season until her husband opened his mouth and started talking like a racist. At that point, blacks turned to Obama who was starting his uphill climb. So NO, I don't believe blacks vote for him because he is black but because of his message.

Considering Clinton and Obama share almost the exact same values you'd think the vote would have been a lot closer. The fact that she carried the state by almost 90% in most areas shows almost without doubt that racism DID factor into the results. It simply had to. That doesn't mean that people who voted for Hillary were themselves racist, necessarily, but may still be under the impression that a black man cannot win Kentucky in the general election and so they decide to back the "safe" horse. Who knows. Either way the end result is the same.

RACISM is still very much a part of the Clinton Campaign. Sen. Clinton herself has been blatantly promoting "racism" and the "gender" card and both WVA and Kentucky has clearly proven this fact to be true.

Both of these states claim that Sen. Clinton was more "negative' and yet they also claimed publicly that they would not vote for a black man. Bottom line. Based on the racists and derogatory attacks made on Sen. Obama's volunteers who were campaigning in these states were just disgraceful on all levels. Sen. Obama's campaign office was vandalized in WVA and this speaks to the racists attacks that Sen. Clinton refuses to acknowledge and denounce. But she hasn't has she?

Why? Because Sen. Clinton is more worried about winning at all costs than doing what's RIGHT and stepping up to the plate and denouncing these WHITE VOTERS who are clearly racists!!!

I'm just so disappointed and sadden by the fact that Sen. Clinton sits back and allows RACE and GENDER to be used in such a deplorable manner. Sen. Clinton should be ashamed of herself for even allowing such dishonorable baiting to continue.

I'm a woman and I would NEVER support anyone who sits quietly while racists voters promote her cause. It's just NOT happening for me. Sen. Clinton has LOST any respect I've ever had for her and her entire family. They now disgust me and I can't wait until she is put out of her misery. The sooner Sen. Clinton is out of the picture, the BETTER for this country.

We don't need any more politicians promoting RACE AND GENDER divide as an excuse for winning at all costs. I think that a message we don't need to be sent to our children and the world.

Both candidates have attacked each other unfairly through tthis campain. Obama and his supporters have been very hard on Clinton and she was strong enough to stand up to the attacks. If Obama can't take the mild attacks by the Clinton, what is he going to do against the real culprits ( the republicans) The campains from both Democrats has changed, they both are going after McCain, which is good. The press needs to stop talking about how people who go to college are smarter people because they have a college education. The Bue collar workers and rural americans have something highly educated workers don't. have and that is life expierences and common sence. Thats why this blue collar worker is going for the candidate with a proven track record of fighting for all the American people. Obama is a nice guy but his voting record shows he sits back on inportant issues. He is not ready to take on the presidents job yet. He is still learning to be a Senator. He said himself that by the end of his first term he would take care of some of the issues we face. I cannot wait that long. I need A President who can start from day one. Hillary 2008!!!!! no Obama and no McCain.

josh: They are awarded based on percentages in given districts, not the overall state.

Dont you people realise that this division is exactly what the Republicans want? Im willing to bet that one of the reasons the Rep candidates dropped out so early was in order to send millions of Rep voters out to skew the Democrat votes, and prolong the pain. This will inevitably make the campaign feel like the real election, which is what seems to be happening with Democrat supporters threatening to vote REPUBLICAN in the presidential election! Dont fall for it! Both Democratic candidates are great choices! Stop squabbling, threatening, and unite!

ATTENTION FOOTBALL FANS!

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.

I am sad to hear 22% of white voters said race was a factor" Those same whties would be in the stands at Ky University basketball and football games cheering for black players.

Blacks have been supporting whites democratic choices for years now that their in a black candidate half of whites thinks he is unacceptable and will not vote for him.

This tell you Blacks have been used by the Demoratic party.

stupid report, no comment ugly cnn' game

How? Ask yourself how can you look at the current state of affairs in this country and the world and not want the change that those of us behind Barack know must happen. Don't focus on the person (Barack) who says "This is not about me, this is all about you!" and means it. This is much bigger than the individual that is running. It is about all of us and our future, and the hope for a way to at least stand a chance at making it better.
If you want to waste your vote on McCain since Hillary will not be the nominee that is your choice, stand by it, but you should try turning your TV off, this is more important than American Idol.
'Obama 08'

Even Hillary supporters have noticed her unfair attackes. Great, what's next. Maybe Hillary will finally accept she lost and start champaigning for Obama like she promised.
Obama '08

JD: The problem is that she is using those negative attacks against a fellow Democrat. I look forward to her strength and bulldog tactics put to good use in the General election against the Republicans. It's just not a good idea to use those tactics against the candidate who is ultimately on your side.

unfair attacks because he is a poor black man?...i am so sick of hearing about how that.

I thought it was interesting that Hillary had no problem playing the race card when her "vast experience" card impact went down the toilet. I found it really pathetic when she tried playing the "gender" card. It was just like an elementary school playground complaint–you're all just picking on me cause I'm a girl................. But when Bill played it, the feeling was almost ironic, then became more and more sinister. This pair will do anything to achieve their goals, absolutely anything!

Just wondering about some statistics out there – way more Obama supporters would vote for Hillary if she is the nominee than Hillary supporters voting for Obama if he is the nominee. This doesn't speak well for our gender in terms of political smarts, interest in the future of our country, or even open-mindedness in terms of voting for a black man. Would we really, really want to see McCain in the White House, just for the sake of "getting back" at Obama for being the nominee? Just plain stupid, no matter what your excuses.

The fact that her supporters know this and continues to support her thus supporting her ways is very alarming. Yet people are upset about the bitter comment made a few months ago. Well what would you call folks who see evil for what it is yet continue to support it for some reason unknown. In my opinion its IGNORANCE – a lack of knowledge that otherwise should be there. But when you look at her core voters its all but telling. And by no means am i trying to demean anyone. But if people choose to remain un-educated in a time when we have access to many learning portals is crazy.
Responsiblity is a lot of work its not easy.

It is time to be united and fight to win the White House. Stop bikering!
Whoever will be the nominee should get the support.

Reenforces what we've known about the Clintons all along...."win at any cost, even if it means losing your dignity".

I, for one, do not want another person for President who will do anything to get there. The narcissism of Hillary Clinton is amazing. There is a sense of entitlement and a distortion of the facts that boggles the mind. She has damaged the Democratic Party with her attacks on Obama, including the subtle fostering of racism. Her constant changing of the math reminds me of a spoiled child who can't handle losing, so she tries to change the rules. It has nothing to do with her Gender, it has to do with her behavior and lack of ethics.

... And because of her unfair attacking, a serious supporter core has accrued in Hillary's supporter circle, which doesn’t want to support Obama if he is the nominee. Hillary's remaining in race isn't a sign of her love to her supporters or to her country and isn't a sign of her strength. It is only a sign of her selfish manner. Look please, how many " I and my and me " does she say in one single speech. And look Obama, he always speaks about " we, us, our „.
Hillary will go in the history book as a selfish bitter person, who has maybe destroyed any chance of Democratic Party to beat the republicans.

Atleast the party is unified in knowing that Hillary was dirty. Unify my fellow dems to make change....There is a big difference between barack and MCcain

no kidding, she is from the old school that we need to retire along with bush and McSame. Obama 08, 12

So, what Kentucky is saying is that Yes, we understand that Hillary is flawed but we have to vote for her because we are racists first?

I totaly agree with Beverly : "Obama should tell all voters NOT to vote for him if they are voting solely on gender & race. I did not hear that suggestion from your guest to Obama. It is ironic since this primary brought out record numbers of first time African American voters who voted for Obama.",
and with Cristopher: "Why are the CNN "analysts" blaming Clinton for the racist votes yet they never mention the enormous votes that blacks have provided to a black candidate…
Everyone (cnn) are blind on this fact.

Bucky said: If you allocated 100% of the pledged delegates to the winner of each State, Clinton would be ahead big time. This is the way pledged delegates will be allocated in November.

IF your mother had male anatomy, she'd be your father. What does this have to do with anything.

Stop trying to change the process mid-game just becaue your candidate is not winning.

To Hillary racists and McCain dumbies, you will be defeated and crushed by the majority of the people of this nation who are not racist, who are not bigots, and who are not stupid!

Get over it loosers!

Continue to show your ignorance and fight amoungst your selves.

Voters say Clinton attacks unfairly but vote for her anyway? Sounds like she's playing to her demographic group: Old – white -and uneducated.

forget you JD!! why not Obama 08....you will be rudlely suprised when you have to swallow your words and it will be Obama 08.

What do you mean toughen up? Clinton will NOT be the nominee and that is why she is hitting below the belt grasping at anything and everything she can to try and get people like you on her side.

Sorry for you.

Hilliary is very interested in her own personal gain for what reason, I don't know. If this lady really cared about this beautiful country, she would let it go. Also, I can say Hilliary's supporters are quite different than Obama's. I wonder why? Kentucky – West Virgina – Tennesee – Some people will never change. Yes, we do have a few racist still alive and kicking!

To JordenFromSD:

If Hillary was truly the better candidate, she'd be winning. Also, there aren't enough black people in America to put Obama over the top, so guess what? There are plenty of white people, asian people and latino people voting for him as well.

You only think the process is flawed because your candidate of choice isn't winning. Leave the playground games alone and grow up.

Lastly, you claim Obama is "paying for Superdelegates". Do you really believe that, or are you jealous that he has more money than Hillary and that she can't afford to buy their votes?

It's a sad commentary for the American landscape when people proudly proclaim that they are racist in front of the entire world, when we are trying to push off our form of democracy onto the entire Middle East and Asia. How do you think we look? Sure, Obama has won the majority of the black vote, but most black people, as angry as we are, would vote for Hillary in the general election. We can't say the same about a lot of her voters, now can we?

Hillary has no more, if not less, experience than Obama. You cannot count her time as first lady, because if that's the case, Laura Bush can be McCain's running mate. Hillary never got a 3 am call, never had clearance to be intimately involved in foreign relations past having tea parties and making speeches, and is a devisive and polarizing figure.

Clinton supporters: grow up.

We have a race to win in November.

This comment does not regard Hillary's strategy of attacking; it addresses her strategy to pursue Michigan and Florida.

With Obama's current delegate count of 1953, the thirty-three percent that he won in Florida would put him about three to four delegates shy of the 2026 needed for the nomination. His name was not on the ballot in Michigan, so you cannot apportion delegates to him unless he gets the "uncommitted" vote, which was forty percent. That percentage of the pledged Michigan delegates would catapult him past the number of total delegates needed. At her current delegate count, Hillary cannot get to 2026 with both states counted.

Considering the above, what is her motivation for pursuing these votes contrary to party rules?

yes, her attacks were indeed unfair and now she and her campaign are screaming sexism. that is why i won't vote for clinton even though i'd love to see a woman win for president. she isn't fair, she isn't honest and i don't trust her. so the clinton dynasty goes... and ends.

Who cares! The media always stresses Hillarys negatives. Why don't you stress Obama's for a change. This bias is one reason why most of her supporters will not support him if he is the nominee.

she s a white woman against a black man in kentucky? give me a break, hillary drop out!!

Polled voters must have been Obama supporters. What attacks are they talking about? Hillary has kept a clean campaign going , She's stood up against McCain regarding his attack on Obama. What are you people talking about? By the way !!! who will run the whitehouse if Obama is elected!!! will it be Michelle? According to all media she has decided that Obama can' t ask Hillary to be his running mate.

I knew it would happen eventually. The Hilary supporters, just like her, are making a ton of excuses for her losing. They're blaming everyone but Hilary. Face it....the best candidate won! Hilary had a great campaign, but Obama is without question a better candidate and will destroy McCain in the general election! This is the best thing that could happen to this country. Out with the "good old boys" network in Washington and IN WITH CHANGE!!! George Bush and his cronies have made a mess of this nation. Barack will restore the lost luster. And the nation will be much better because of it!

it's wednesday morning and what lie will she come up with today
if you go back to last fall up thru january she said that fla and michigan broke the rules and all though it was sad the rules are the rules
but when she got her a– kicked on super tuesday all of sudden a change of heart now they should count
maybe today she will want the american idol votes from those 2 states too
i heard last night that she does well with the nascar voters
well here is how nascar works if kyle busch wins a race by 5 car lenths and dale jr comes in 2nd thay dont go to nascar and say well i have more fans and i sell more tee shirts so you should give the win to me there are rules in life at work when we driveand at home we may not like all of them but thats how the country works
GET OVER IT LIAR LIPS CLINTON

She's a sneaky attack dog...what else is new ?

NoHillaryOnVpTicket May 21st, 2008 3:35 am ET

Clinton attacked Obama because is his Black… lets be real. Everything she attacked him on was related to his race, name, religion… Is she not a lawyer… If I where Obama… after this I would sue her for discrimination… She has violated every discrimination law known to man. If she were working on a real job… she would have been disciplined and sued and mabe even fired. But it ok that she does this because she feel she is exempt from the rules… all rules
====================================

Obama was the one attending a racist motivated church. Obama was the one with scores of racially motivated statements in his books.

There is more reverse discrimination happening today that is being labelled as :
seconds of soundbites
was misunderstood
not what I meant
taken out of context.

If you're looking for a racist, look towards Obama.

People attack Obama because he is outspending Hillary.. but the reason he's outspending her is because he's had so many supporters that have donated little amounts at a time. He has the money because he has the support of the people... and he's not buying superdelegates.. they're flocking to him because they know that Hillary can't win mathematically, and they want to unite the party and get on with the general election. I personally don't see anything wrong with that.

And to those morons out there who consistently talk about how so and so stabbed Hillary in the back.. well, my loyalty is to the country, not the Clintons. If someone feels like Obama is going to be better for the country... then they should vote for someone based on that and that alone... not for Hillary just because her family has done them favors... wouldn't that almost make them lobbyists in a way?

This Lady is losing her mind,How could she claim,that obama losing votes among white Americans?we have 12% black poupulation,even all are democrats is still not enough to put obama on top.She need to chill out!

I cannot fathom how Hillary will unite the party if she wins the nomination. She has shamelessly played the race card throughout this entire campaign, and has pandered to the most racist of Americans. She will alienate black voters, young voters and , yes, WOMEN voters, the core of the Democratic constituency. I know she lost my vote LONG ago.

Senator Clinton has proven to us long ago that this race isn't about us, but about HER. It's ALL about her. Her whole shot and a beer swilling and disgusting pandering to card-carrying members of the NRA just turned my stomach. And now her latest debacle, claiming that sexism had a heavy hand in election and that Obama hasn't nearly suffered has she has just clinched it for me. She's a con artist, and a sore loser, and I shame to think that I once supported her.

OBAMA 08! Go BAM, GO!!!!

Ok, let me get this straight. Over half of the Democrats who voted in Kentucky say Clinton treated Obama unfairly, and they still voted for her?!?

This is why Obama needs to be our next president.

Hilary has made no attacks on Obama that should be ruled as unfair. And for those who are saying that racism is a factor in this, are simply ridiculous. Don't give up Hilary! I will NEVER vote for Obama. Its all you!

Unfair attacks are the name of the game, even if the attacks are really unfair.

I'm really tired of people acting like Obama is an innocent little lamb because he's not. Nobody is straightforward and innocent in politics. He's never suffered with a lack of campaign funds or had pessimistic primary election results. He's basking in the sunshine right now and he hasn't had to 'bare knuckle' it as Hillary has.

People say that the 2008 electoral map may be hard to predict because no black man has been a presidential candidate. That's true but one more important difference in this election is the fact that we've not had a presidential candidate that is so inexperienced. As Obama's opponent it is nearly impossible to engage him politically because he has virtually no voting record to seriously contend with/debate. That, above all else, has been the bane of Hillary's existence in this race. Oh well, if people don't mind having a man who is cutting his teeth in politics as their PRESIDENT, then so be it.

There is a very easy way to add much of the constructive strength from the Bill Clinton adminstrations. This can be done without having to tolerate the divisiveness we now see.

Obama-Gore in '08 For the sake of the democratic party and for the country I hope Gore can be convinced to become Obama's running mate.

A lot of you hillary supporters keep mentioning the 90% african american votes that BO gets. Well that is not racist, because they are not voting AGAINST hillary because of her color (which would be discrimination). They are voting for BO because they maybe want an african american in the whitehouse for the first time, they can compare and see themselves in BO. The same reason that many women vote for hillary, because a lot of them want a woman in the whitehouse for the first time and they can compare and see the hardships that she has gone through her life as a woman. Both are not sexist and not racist.

On the other hand many voters in KY and WV voted AGAINST BO because they do not like his color, now that is racism...

For those who say that blacks who vote for Obama are racists couldn't be further from the truth. Hillary had the black vote at the begining of this race. It was not until she and Bill began to dismiss Obama as the black canidate that she began to lose black support. Also, black voters would vote for Hillary if she became the nominee. Why is it that "rural white voters" would hurt themselves by voting republican if Obama is the nominee. This makes no sense whatsoever. To vote for the policies/party that put you in the position that you are now complaining about is absurd, and spiteful. That is why the media say that her supporters are racist. Really, what else could it be?

let Hilary forget about the race. It does not meant being white she must rule american. That country belongs to all american. let her admit defeat a stay quite.

It's troubling to read blogs that attack one candidate or the other as well as their supporters. It's very disturbing to read that this candidate's supporter will not vote for the other if they become the nominee, or will do so only under certain conditions. Your vote is your voice in this country – what do you really want to say? I urge all voters to try to sift through the spin – get informed about the issues that truly affect us each and every day. Know where your candidate stands, make your choice – vote responsibly!! This isn't a game folks – we need to move forward together for ourselves and those who will follow us.

If Obama cannot stand the "heat" from Hillary, how is he going to stand the "heat" from McCain and company? Tough skin is what Obama needs. He should stop talking rhetoric and put substance on the table--we need answers and solutions to the problems we're facing worldwide. His inexperience does show and will be showcased even more by the Republicans come November. In hindsight Hillary's mistake was ignoring the caucus states and being too confident; Obama camp took the ball and ran with it, at that point Hillary could not recover; t hat said, she's is without question the stronger of the two being presented. It's unfortunate we cannot have a woman as our candidate. The late Shirley Chisholm opened that door, Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary has both stepped through further than Shirley did. Hopefully, next time, we'll shut the door. We need to unite and defeat the Republicans. Obama can promise the sky, but that's wishful thinking since it does not happen in the real world. I'm proud of Hillary and what she has done thus far in the process. There's nothing for her to be ashamed of.

That is the heart of Clinton politics: unfairness, deception, lying, crying, just to name a few. Hillary believed that in being a white woman, and a "Clinton" she would be unstoppable, and upon seeing the error in that sort of prejudicial judgement, she then went on a rampage of collective "isms"; especially racism and sexism. There is nothing more pathetic than seeing someone, advancing in years, acting like such a cry-baby. No job, not even the presidency, is worth prostituting oneself to the google degree. In my opinion, it all comes down to the underlying money and gratuities, and the Clintons have certainly advanced their financial status in the political arena, unfortunately at the public's expence.

Hillary has run her Campaign like a true Republican with all of her Feaf Mongering and Pandering Hillary has lost this thing and it would benefit her supporters if she did not lie to them it is very very sad

Obama was not negative,racist,or sexist towards clinton.I know that these racist in WV and Kentucky would not vote for Obama if he walked on water,but if he could only be all white instead of half and half.I tell you why I know they are racist,theywill say they are voting for Hillary because of her policy which is 95% the same as Obamas.But if Hillary lose they will vote for McCain,he shares only one thing in common with Hillary,her color.His policy is 100% different from hers.Tell the truth and just admit that you are racist.

Since when is being on the attack wrong? Democrats are usually viewed as wimps, I guess the way many of you express yourselves, deservedly so!

She at least shows guts and drive and not the “gimme“attitude of another candidate.

Our last two presidential candidates walked away from a fight and left us with “W” and the mess this country is in. Just think what could have been had they been on the attack…………………………………

I'm really confused about why some people seem to blame Obama for Michigan and Florida not being seated.

Their officials broke the rules, so the candidates all agreed not to campaign there–Clinton and Obama both agree. Obama even took his name off the Michigan (I think it was Michigan and not Florida) ballot. So, exactly how would it be fair to count the votes as they stand? Senator Clinton stated publicly that Florida and Michigan should not be seated. Please don't take this as an attack on her, I admire many things about her and all I want is for the party to come together, but she only started saying that every vote should count when it became clear how much in trouble she was.

The DNC will hopefully figure out a fair way to seat those delegates. Neither candidate is to blame for them not being seated thus far–blame their election officials or the DNC for not figuring out a solution faster.

I hate to say it this preceived unfair attacking by clinton is only brought up because sh is a woman. If she were a man it would be called "competitive spirit". Just like the perception that she'll stop at nothing to win – If she were a man this would be called "drive to win". Americans still see these things that ALL politicians (yes even Barok Obama) do as innappropriate behavior for a woman. I guess we're over racism but still havent quite gooten over sexism.

Finally people see the snake behind her eyes, just think about unfairness when her SS troops bust down your front door to make you do her deeds.........this will happen if her and Bill are elected,

i can't believe so many people would vote for someone,after admitting their candidate played dirty politics.my only conclusion is,that racism still runs deep ,in this nation.how sad.

Congratulations to Senator Obama and his beautiful family. He gave a rousing speech last night, and outlined a vision of America that embraces all Americans. As this nomination process draws to a close, it is important that Americans put aside pettiness and begin to think about what needs to be done to restore this nation to greatness.

Obama 08

for Vicki:

regarding his amazing speech: Haven't you Obama supporters got it yet?

That's all it is–words–no substance –no plans -just words...HIllary has substance and plans to get this country back to what it used to be and more of what it can become.....

I am a WHITE woman and I think what Hillary has done is wrong. I don't think she realizes what she has done. However, I think her motto is "If I can't win, I will make sure you don't either," Tyical Clinton. And why should Obama agree to any of her terms? She didn't vote for him and should have no say whatsoever.

Alan it is a race thing and anyone who says anything different is telling lies. We think or act like we have moved beyond these divides but we have not. Clinton feeds this notion and files it under many different things. She always says this is like hiring someone for a job, well Mrs. Clinton your campaign is 31 million in debt according to news sources, Explain that one!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton has ALWAYS been a shrill sounding hack – from the moment she went after stay-at-home moms in the infamous "60 Minutes" interview in 1992. Her voice sounds while campaigning sounds little more than a witch casting a spell and acting like she's filled with testosterone.

Keep in mind that this is nothing new. In her first term (1993), she attacked the pharmaceuticals industry, the insurance industry, and gun owners. She later blamed a vast right-wing conspiracy for her husband's libido, has blamed Bush for a war that she supported, and has played the race card at every point.

And CNN just now arrives to the party and points out what Republicans have known for 16 years? Talk about being behind the times!

well they think she is attacking unfairly?why is this news?

Poor Obama... Once again playing the race card... Can't stand this guy.

Although Hillary makes me physically sick, I would NEVER vote for McCain! I would just stay home!

The truth is that people in WV and KENTUCKY are voting against a blackman not for a good,honest,and candidate with good judgement.These two states have just shown America where the most radical racist are.

Clinton attacking unfairly? Obama is going to be thrown to the wolves very shortly. Politics is not a prim and proper business. It is tough. And you have to be able to roll with the punches.

As a lifelong Democrat I have lost a lot of respect for the party. Not counting our votes down here in FL. Shame on you national committee. This is the United States of America. At this point it looks like Obama will win the nomination. That means that I, and a lot of Democrats just like me in FL, will be voting for McCain. The same goes for our relatives in Ohio. The Republicans will carry Ohio and Florida. Clinton was the only chance.

Obama and his camp spits on the Clinton's and calls them racists and Hillary is the one that is attacking unfairly??????

What a big FAT Obama lie!

What a load of Obama crap!

ObaSNOB and ObaLIAR puts out lie upon lie upon lie!

Obama the anti-American and racist is the one all along that been unfairly attacking Hillary and Bill.

Obama makes me sick!

Sounds like the most idiotic ignorant people in the country live in WV and KY.

Clinton blew this race!! In October everyone had her locked for the Dem. nomination, but she failed to plan for the long hall. The Clinton's are done. She lies and cheats, not to mention brings race issue up as soon she can. I THINK SHE FORGOT THAT THE WHITE VOTERS DIDN'T GET BILL INTO OFFICE, THE BLACK VOTERS DID.

wah wah fricken wah..Hillary supporters are a bunch of crybabies! I dont know why a democrat would vote for a republican out of spite. It shows that hillary supporters are such crybabies!! wah wah wah wah wah. I really hope Obama wins. If he wins, McCain has a greater chance of winning, putting another republican will be in the white house. THANKS HILLARY SUPPORTERS FOR EVEN THINKING OF VOTING FOR MCCAIN. Its democrats like you that will MAKE 2009 another REPUBLICAN YEAR!!!!! VOTE FOR McCain Hillary supporters!!!! When McCain is in the white house, the democrats that voted for him has NO right to complain about what he does as president because you voted for him. Republicans FOREVER!

I believe and you have reported...she has been the victim in this campaign and the media has played a huge role in this.

He thinks he was there 15 months ago...Hello?
Count Flori"dah" and Michi"gone" and we will all see how far out of touch or "perhaps deceitful" he choses to be.
He advertised in FLA
And he withdrew his name in MI
He was not the victim here...the voters were,

Floyd Obama is not only winning because he can afford it. He is winning because he ran a historically awesome campaine, he is not an ill spirited person, he is the reason so many never voters are in the election, he is the most educated, the most intellegent, the most fearLESS, the most QUALIFIED. When Hillary lied about dodging bullets... that should have been a wake up call of her supporters that this woman may have some screws loose. If this is an example of her experience.... I wonder what other experience she has that is similar (blatent lies are not experience)... And there is not experience requirement for this job! Would you be saying that if Hillary had been as brilliant as Obama?

baloney....Obama has always liked to pitch, but, does not seem to catch very well. Obama attacks with his surrogates and sly, sneeky remarks, like, "I don't know whether I am running against Bill or Hillary Clinton." Get real, Obama and camp, because you took the sexist route, and turned the tables onto Hillary and accused her and her surrogates of racist remarks, you seem to have pulled the wool over the eyes of the naive and young voters. Hillary is still the better choice for the nomination and president.

The world IS watching. Who cares? We all should. The Bush administration policies have cost the US its former place in the hearts and minds of the world and is ruining our economy. Bush himself is a laughingstock.

Now, we have a presidential candidate so determined to win the nomination that she will do and say anything to reach that goal. She has lied, outright and by inuendo, and continues to divide with remarks intended to do just that. And this is against another democrat. She is reminiscent of George Bush – everything is always someone else's fault. We don't need another liar in the WH nor the baggage she will bring with her.

can you imagine if Hillary had not gone negative in the first place. Can you imagine how energized the democartic party woudl be right now? Her supporters who have said they woudl not vote for Obama would have chanelled all their energy and support to teh likely nominee and then it would take only a miracl for John McCain to win in November. But as it stands, Hillary's supporters have become so bitter that it woudl be a hard task to get them to vote for Obama. This all started with Hillary going negative and Obama having to defend himself. We can only hope and pray now that the efforts of the everyone rallying behind Obama will be enough to prevent a MsCain presidency, which is in essence a Bush third term

She appears to attack unfairly because of how the extremely biased media portrays her. The better candidate is losing because of race (He wouldn't be where he is without 95% of the black vote) and Money (he's buying super-delagates) it is a flawed process. If Sen. Clinton isn't at least offered the VP spot it would be a disgrace to the Democratic party and the U.S. The media, who is supposed to stay neutral and report the news swung the election, shame on you CNN.

I keep reading that people will vote for McCain rather than Obama. Can someone tell me why you think McCain will be so much better than Obama, or Bush?
For that matter, can you tell me why you think Hillary is so much better than Obama? I am truly baffled by the Clinton or McCain movement. I just can't see it as anything but race based, so please enlighten me.

When they say politics are a dirty game now I understand. Here I am thinking that American politics are better than the most, but heck NOOOO. As I'm reading from this blog there's an element of racism. I thought each party has its own supporters, meaning that people who will support it no matter what the outcome. Now here there are some Hilary / Obama supporters who are saying if their candidate is not the Presidential nominee then there'll be heck to pay...meaning they wont vote for the other they'd rather vote for the opposing party. What does that say about the American people, if things don't go their way, then they'd rather settle for the complete opposite of what they believe in. An example if Hillary / Obama doesn't win then your democratic vote will now suddenly swing to McCain. How so??? Then that means you were not a democrat to begin with, your vote was based on favouratism (as in race) instead of party commitment.

Please Quit!... NO DON'T ...this is entertaining now.

Obama has never attacked her... the media needs to get it right and stop saying they attacked each other... No.. SHE was the attacker... and to the lowest of Low attacks based on race. She does not deserve to be President of the land of the free... Liberty and justice for all... Remember!

"Sounds likethe republicans are at work in Kentucky. More than half think Hillary was unfair but the same number votes for her? Either republicans or no integrity."

Well, perhaps being unfair is seen as a better trait than being an outright racist or as incredibly shallow as Obama is. That's indeed the other side of the coin. Obama is shoveling "change" with very little description as to what that change entails. Well, other than higher taxes.

I just don't trust Obama. Further, his voting record last year was the single most liberal of any Senator. The man is not only shallow, but also an extremist.

I can't say I'm happy with any of the above, really.

Obama: racist socialist and fluffball.
Hillary: Opportunistic power craver
McCain: Less than competent back-stabber.

As for the so-called racists voting for Hillary, what do you call that 96% black vote for Obama in Pennsylvania? Can you name any demographic that split THAT one-sidedly in any election that wasn't rigged with death threats?

She will not win agains the Republicans because by the time they get done reading off the long list of trash that occured with her and Bill.... she will be wishing she has not stole the election from Obama. But... thats not going to happen because Obama has already won! Dont be driven by fear of race.... vote OBAMA 08

lets focus beyond our noses democrats and lets win the GE

Obama supporters, go ahead and continue spewing your hate about the Clintons. Many Clinton supporters don't trust Obama one bit either. Don't think one second that you'll ever win without Clinton supporters. Keep threatening us with Roe v. Wade. Not going to happen! We've had 7 terms of Republicans vs 3 terms Dem since then and Roe v Wade has NEVER been overturned!!!!

Stop deceiving yourselves! McCain is not a crazy right winger. He is a moderate. Just because the far left of the Dem party are sunk for Obama, they are not the majority and they don't realize that McCain isn't crazy since he's a MODERATE!!!! And we won't be deceived by the millions that Obama will spend to convince us that he is. Many Clinton supporters have no problem voting for McCain so the more Obama supporters diss Clinton supporters, the DEEPER they dig their grave.

I AM A REAL "typical white male" and I can tell you I enjoy it when I see my people band together. I know and you know why we would rather vote for McCain if Obama wins. I would rather vote for a Republican who looks like me than to vote Democrat who doesn't. Yes...I said what everyone else is saying without saying it. McCain or Hillary but definitely not ....

Is not counting Florida and Michigan fair???

Let's go back and take away two of Obama's biggest wins and see where that leaves him.
Let's talk about everything he has said against HIllary and all of the speeches he copied from other people and the programs he has tried to rip off from Hillary's programs.

48 States is not fair and it is not respecting the consitutional rights of American voters in Florida and Michigan!!!!!!!!!!

President Hillary Clinton 2008, 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are seeing the Clintons at their Machiavellian best ... stay in the race long enough to wound Obama so badly he bleeds to a defeat in November ... therefore the headline for 2012 will be "You should have nominated me back in 2008".

But, she doesn't realize that John McCain and the Republicans will consolidate their position so well by 2012, that a Democratic victory in 2012 will be almost impossible (thanks in no small part to the disarray that the Democrats will find themselves in for the next 4 years).

I wish the Clintons will fade away with some self respect and live out of the oodles of money they have stashed away.

Wow, Kentucky, and West Virginia say that they would vote for Hillary Clinton, but if she is not the nominee... instead of voting for the candidate that has basically all the same views as her, they would vote for a republican which has the exact oposite views as her.
This proves that the folks in KY and WV are motivated to vote for a candidate for reasons other then the candidate's stance on issues. I would hate to insinuate that the majority of the people in these states are racists, so I won't... I'll flat out say it... A very large number of these people are ignorant, uneducated racists! I'm just glad that they are not the majority in this country and that Obama will win the nomination, and the presidency despite thier ignorant beliefs.
Fortunately, the majority of Americans have voted for Obama and Clinton because they believe in the stances they take on this country's major issues. Fortunately, the majority of Americans are educated and realize that the color of a persons skin does not define who they are or what they stand for.
As for the majority of KY and WV residents, you go ahead and vote for McCain... and when Obama is sworn into presidency, just keep in mind that your racist views were a minority in this country. How ironic is that... now you are the minorities.

"If the Dems had a winner take all like the GOP, Hillary would be the nominee..."

Yes, and if wishes were horses beggars would ride.

All candidates began the competition under the same rules with the same understanding....someone was going to come out on top. Is that too hard to understand?

Clinton attacked Obama because is his Black... lets be real. Everything she attacked him on was related to his race, name, religion... Is she not a lawyer... If I where Obama... after this I would sue her for discrimination... She has violated every discrimination law known to man. If she were working on a real job... she would have been disciplined and sued and mabe even fired. But it ok that she does this because she feel she is exempt from the rules... all rules

I would like to ask everyone a question.

If Hillary Clinton was running as a standard Senator like Obama,
– No Bill Clinton everyone remembers
– No years in the White House
– No 80 country visits with her husband

Do you all really think she would be where she is today? My opinion is no. Reason..

1. She differs little with Obama on issues, she really has no message she has stuck with, unlike Obama who has stayed with his for change from old politics.

2. She has run a horrible disorganized campaign. Is this who you want to run the country?

3. I am sorry everyone, but it is a fact she has run the " I could be the first woman Pres!! Vote for me" which is pandering. She has said this over and over. I have not heard once Obama said I want to the first African American Pres.

4.What are HER credentials? Does anyone know? Everyone says Obama is too inexperienced, but I still do not know what Hillary brings to the table. She def does not have personal appeal, which I believe we will need in our next Pres as we are going to need to work real hard with the rest of the World to regain our status that has been so damaged by Bush. Our country looks like a joke right now.

My opinion is Obama would have won a long time ago if there was no Bill Clinton/White House connection to Hillary. We need new.

thoughts?

If obama is to be a successfull president or lead a successfull government,he should not make clinton his deputy.Hillary(my name sake)should give fellow americans the right and opportunity to lead and gain experience too.A tree has never made a forest and will not.

To all those people who are dissing Kentucky voters and West Virginia for voting for Hillary and then claiming that they lack intelligence. Your argument isn't very effective, because Hillary also won New York, California, New Jersey, Texas, Indiana, Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, and PA. So what is your point that only people living in stupid states vote Hillary?? Think before you spew your silly arguments. And face it, that this is still a very close race – She is not Huckabee. She has received over 17 million votes!

I am Happy to see that there are more white folk that voted for Obama regardless to how golden brown he is. I am also glad to see that Hillary supporters are being blatently bold about their racist hearts. Now Obama can really focus on those states were race really mattered in casting their vote. Barack can give an additional $4000 in financial aid money to educate them on race relations (keep hope alive). If African Americans folks discriminated like this.... they would almost have a good reason... but.... give me a break its useless and extremely ignorant to look at how pale or dark someone is... Get a grip people. Vote for him because he is a good person, with good character. A vote for Hillary is a vote for anything goes as long as I win.

It is the citizens of America who will decide....
He is a good man, but we need a President that from day one
will be able to know his way around, specially in this situation our\Country is in... Experience and good judgement are the name
of the game
Olga

Obama will never win the GE! He needs to take his he/she wife and go back to the windy city where they belong! There is a band of people joining to make sure he dont win!! He is not electable! give it up!!! There are woman and men in 50 states who are joing to elect McCain!!! White folk will not come around to him!! You are all dreaming or drunk!!!
Hillary 08 or McCain 08
Noobama ever!!!

I have said this on SEVERAL bloggs for several months.

Unless Obama offers the VP spot to Clinton, he will lose the general election.

No half baked explanations that she 'didnt ask for it'

He has to formally and publically offer it to her of he will lose.

Whether the insiders who successfully got her BOOTED out of the nomination like it or not.

Its really not up to Obama and even Hillary.

Its up to the Clinton supporters.

I'm a lifelong Democrat. My support for Hillary over Obama stems from what I view to be Obama's "loose cannon" policies of meeting with terrorist state leaders, and his choice to vote "present" in his own state senate, so many times, rather than making a clear committed decision and having to live with decisions consequences. I'm not a racist. I am for Sen. Clinton because she is more conservative and calculated in her foreign policy approach. I believe that is why so many retired Generals and military leaders endorse her. Hillary makes a decision and votes her conscience, and as a leader, she lives with that decision. Obama ran a whole campaign on "he was against the war in Iraq from the start", but the facts are– the free Iraq Democracy would not be standing as it is now, if the USA had not liberated it. I'm still with Hill and I honestly believe some Republicans are too.

Firat let me say I am an older white male so I can say this. People over 50 in both West Virginia and Kentucky wouldn't vote for a black candidate period. Add the fact that both these states love the Clintons these results are not shocking, but expected.

I strongly believe Obama is the key to winning Nov election . he has demostrated depth ,maturity and hope to america. if he picks hillary as VP it will be a big boost. but she is running a negative race.

Racists will always be racists. For decades, they've been, and still are, out of touch with rest rest of America. If they don't put their own acts together, and have the ambition to come out of their isolated holes, then it's their problem if they remain stuck in their isolated holes. For decades, they voted White Bush, believing Bush shared their values and principles, and if they haven't learned their lesson from the economic woes thety now face, and vote McCain, just because McCain is white, then they deserve to get more beatings from 4 more Bush years under McCain. Out-of-touch people who refuse to change their ways deserve to be left behind. They make their own choices, and have to live by their choice. Racists, who distrust others, tend to receive distrust toward them in return.

Am I living in an alternative reality? Is this really the best headline you could come up with? The presumptive nominee just lost Kentucky by 35 points, even though CNN and the other media have crowned Obama the winner. This astounding loss, nearly as big as last week in West Virginia, may be foreshadowing a defeat in November for Obama. This headline should be the least of the worries for the Democrats, who are nominating the weaker candidate with the greater negatives and the least experience.

Please decide wisely; not blindly, nor angrily, nor emotionally, nor fearfully. Afterall, the world _is_ watching.

Let us hope Hillary supporters will be angry enough to vote for Mccain. That way Hillary will be president 2012 because Mccain killed all their kids in Iran war.

What experience does Clinton have
-She was in the senate almost as long as Obama
-First lady doesn't make you ready to be president or Laura Bush '12
-People like me gave Obama $5 bucks a poop, while ELITES gave thousands to watch her lose
-Not voting or voting out of spite is ludicrous, you are the reason people die everyday in Iraq, why the economy i poor, and why we haven't moved off our oil dependence. It's pure selfishness that drives some of you.

Obama has won and rightfully. Clinton's campaign crumbled on corruption, ignorance, and bad leadership.

If the wife of a former president, prominant stateswoman, and popular figure can't be the New name Obama, then she doesn't deserve to be president.

Politics is about winning and she lost.

Thanks alot Obama...now my wife wants me to call HER "sweetie"!

Go Hillary...I like bitter old prunes!

obama has won i dont know why hillary is going on she can never win. i am ashame to say i am from ky. i live in virginia now and obama won my state. ky is againest blacks and they are gods to.

This just proves how racist some people in KY and W.VA. really are... how sad, and not a win I would be proud of.

Personally speaking, as a women who has had more than her fair share of working in male dominated work places, and as a feminist, there's no way in hell I would vote for her. She makes me feel ashamed of my own gender.

From Florida with love.
I have watched, listened and judged each issue from both sides of the ( Clinton and Obama) (Obama and Clinton) exchange. As a Floridian, an American, born and raised in the USA. I have the RIGHT to stand up and be counted. To deny me a voice in the election process is nothing short of treason. What person or person's sitting on a committee has the right to say to me , Your vote does not count because we choose not to listen to you. Yes, it is that simple!!! Who made up the rules, not me, I'm just a voter who wants my voice heard or not heard. It's my choice to make not yours. This issue should be evaluated by the Supreme Court because I'm an American.

LET JUST HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF G. BUSH VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN 08 AND BY 2012 WE WILL BE PAYING $12.00 OR MORE FOR A GAL. OF GAS AND OUR SONS OUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR HUSBANDS WILL STILL BE DYING IN A WAR THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN I CAN NOT BELEIVE THAT WE STILL ARE SO DIVIDED AS A NATION ALONE RACIAL LINES MAY GOD HELP US TO WAKE UP

Dimples you must be "pro-strife" then to vote for likely men-know-best Supreme-Court-nominees.

Again, CNN can't seem to report anything positive about Hilary without slamming her with a negative. Why even ask people this? Who cares? They clearly still voted and that trumps the silly asking of such one sided questions. GIve me break.

wow, just wow. I seriously can't believe billary supporters are so up in arms that they are willing to join the enemy, SOLELY to spite obama. you peeps is fracked.

Obama-Webb!

God! do Hillary supporters get it! the race is over! join other Democratics and move a head. Otherwise you are disgrace to human kind especially the women from California who are throwing money away with already unrepairable train, overcome your feminism! think big, grow big and Make America a more stronger Nation on earth. Otherwise when Obama's train leaves the station you will never catch it. To all Oregonians! thanks a million times you have transceded race or gender! you are true Americans every person of sane minds is proud of you!

Why do some people feel so stongly against Bush Jr. Bush being President? About the war: could it be that we actually are protecting our nation and that adhering to our original principles will not always be popular, either internationally and domestically? About the economy: Could it be that we recently had a much needed correction about two fiscal quarters ago, we are not in a recession by economic standards and rising fuel/food costs are due to other factors of supply and demand caused by emerging countries such as China and India? What is so wrong with the man and his administration? I would like some answers from those that have them. I have lived in multiple countries, in North America, Europe and Asia and by far we as Americans enjoy the highest standard of living. It can be argued that every single national military struggle to some degree has to do with a struggle over access to scarce resources, such as over oil, manpower-slavery, religious lands, food. (We cannot live in denial, as a nation that contains the World's biggest consumers), so whether or not these things are ethically correct or fair, this is the fact of life and the struggle in the Middle East probably has some ties to this explanation or theory. The president is not going to come out and say it straightforward, we are there to exert pressure over the oil barrons. We wouldn't exist has an industrialized, powerful nation if our foundation was laid first by exploiting and ensuring reach to those needed/demanded resources. Lastly, I would just like to say that we as Americans should limit contradicting ourselves so much. Radical/progressive change is not needed (unless you want same-sex marriage, except for in California), lol, but that's another story. This President hasn't caused much strife for us Americans, don't belief the media propaganda that is filling your heads. He has stuck to his guns and not flip-flopped. We are there for our own interest in domestic security and for oil, which our country could not function without.

Kentucky Exit Poll Results:

Asked which candidate attacked unfairly. 39% of voters polled indicated "both" (72% of Clinton voters; 22% of Obama voters). 34% of voters polled indicated "neither" (76% of Clinton voters; 21% of Obama voters).

Asked if Clinton attacked unfairly. 54% of voters polled indicated "yes" (55% of Clinton voters; 40% of Obama voters). 43% of voters polled indicated "no" (79% of Clinton voters; 18% of Obama voters).

Asked if Obama attacked unfairly. 49% of voters polled indicated "yes" (76% of Clinton voters; 19% of Obama voters). 48% of voters polled indicated "no" (55% of Clinton voters ; 42% of Obama voters) .

Why does the Clintons think that only the white voter has the right to be racist and not vote for Obama should he be declared the candidate? Will the African Amedricans fall at the feet of the Clintons and vote for them if they manage to convince the democartic party to change the rules because white voters are not going to vote for black Obama?

It looks like the DEMS really know HOW to lose. It could be that it is the party with the most uneducated and vulnerable folks in this world.

Let the Dems give Hillary to the Republicans. Indeed, the Republicans are really eager for a "fighter" not a uniter. The Republicans will have no problem opening up their "war chest" against the Clintons. They will start where the Clintons left off– the White House items that were stolen and end up with "Bosnia fire." Yeah, let Hillary be the nominee for our women in this nation; blacks should work harder, they are not yet ready!

For me...It's becoming more and more difficult to like Hillary Clinton. I voted for her in my states primary but if I had it to do again, I would have to go with Obama. She just keeps trying to change the rules so that she comes out on top. I just have to believe that if she were in Obama's position, she would be screaming for Obama to get out of the race and that changing the rules now would be unthinkable. Please,know that I believe that you are losing more and more respect by the day

QUESTION FOR ALL THOSE HILLARY SUPPORTERS WHO SAY THEY'LL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!:

I'm just wondering why you would vote for John McCain in November who has none of your interests in mind when Obama and Hillary's politicies are nearly identical. I mean lets be serious here. I hope you'll be able to look in the face of all those mothers, wives, and children who's mothers,fathers,sisters,and brothers are dying in Iraq and tell them you are the reason it is happening if you contribute to getting McCain in the white house. I mean why not be a true American and get over your trivial bitterness and do whats right for all the people of America. You might not agree with everything Barack says but compared to John McCain it would be in your better interest to suck it up and do whats good for the party. I wonder if McCain gets in the white house and you're stuck paying $6 a gallon for gasoline, and still without health insurance, and paying for a pointless war for the next four years if you will be satisfied.

I really don't know why is everyone just talking about Hilary. I am not supporter of any of the two candidates, but I see that Obama is behaving like a celebrity (don't say "because he is" as he made himself one) and actually has an unrealistic perception of himself. Hilary is noble, caring and obviouslly hurt with all this.

I don't understand how is it funny to make very unappropriate satire on Hilary's behalf and nobody dares to make fun of Obama>\? Is he so perfect? How come satire can say: "my voters are racist" for eg, What would happen if the names are reversed? This is positive discrimination at its worst and crowd manipulation by some very clever marketing people and media alike.

I would worry, though, when any person thinks they can "CHANGE THE WORLD". How very big headed this is. I would worry when someone identifies themselves with great people of this century without anything to show for.

I really think, Hilary is being patient with the press and should she lose or win she should look at where is all this coming from.

Will Rogers was so right when he said, "I don't belong to an organized political party, I'm a Democrat."

Karl Rove could NEVER have scripted this any better for a Republican win in September.

Hillary's scorched earth policy is pure win...for John McCain.

Uh, yeah, as if there was anything else a Clinton is capable of doing. God forbid they do anything honestly. You have about the same chance of finding a Clinton that does not lie, cheat, steel, fabricate, distort, mispeak, scam, and play dirty as a snowball has in hell.

This is one of the reasons she will NOT be the Democratic nominee. She can spout all she wants about unfair press, etc., but it was her attitude and manner that contributed to her loss, not being a woman.

This is simply based on what the voters hear from the pro-Obama news networks. Those who have been paying close attention to this race know very well that Obama has been attacking unfairly. The power of the media is amazing.

Its hard to believe some people are voting for a candidate and only reason of voting is strictly gender .No more no less .
How can people be so shallow?

Well, I guess you now have to say something nasty about Hillary and her supporters before CNN will even consider posting your comments!

thats because her supporters are uneducated, which make them in a position where they can't see the difference between the right and wrong. what they know is 'just vote for her anyway".....thats DUMB!!

I have one single question for Sen. Clinton how can you honestly state that all the votes should count and you don't take in a count that the majority of the vote are for Sen. Obama?

Shame on the Hilary, just try leave the stage with some respect, you suppoters of Hilary, if you refuse to vote for Obama, is up to you, your kids are down there fighting for nonsense, dying everyday, vote for Mc_Bush and see what will happen to you and ur family, just be ready to keep weeping, if you have an ear, is time you hear hear ,,now, or never

Yep. I'm not voting for Nobama either if he is the nominee. Only if Hillary is on the ticket cause I know if anything happens to him, the country will be in more capable hands then it was to begin with him. I'll either write in Hillary or vote for McCain but I will NOT for for Nobama. That's a Vote You Can Believe Won't Happen!

Hillary 08!

Proud nonKoolaid drinker

ok? what is the point of this story?

BUCKY : "If you allocated 100% of the pledged delegates to the winner of each State, Clinton would be ahead big time. This is the way pledged delegates will be allocated in November."

A : Well, that's not how it works now, Bucky. Everyone knows that going in. Changing rules as you go, eh. Sounds like a Clinton tactic, er, supporter. Get over it.

FORMER OBAMA SUPPORTER : "Exactly when did Hillary attack Obama? She hasn't attacked Obama in a long time. This is bull."

How is this bull? This is what people think. It has nothing to do with fact. It's what they think, what they perceive. Are you THAT arrogant to think YOU know what these people should think? That what these people think is wrong? Are you a typical Hillary supporter? If so, it's no wonder her campaign is sinking fast, amid perceptions that she plays dirty.

This is a sad state of affairs, The Clinton destruction of a Party the Clinton made for lifetime movie starringt Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Obama is less the 70 from the majic number...

Why is this that she can not play by the rules.....

I know that no one believes this could happen, but I believe that Hillary's voters will not be "coming home" for Obama in the Fall.

Too many of you interpret this as them voting for her in spite of having attacked unfairly. Doubtless there are plenty who cheer her on in that activity – and are even more likely to vote for here *because* she attacked unfairly...

The worst parts of this historic campaign have been the inaccurate, false impressions of Hillary Clinton given by the Obama campaign and enthusiastically magnified by so much of the news media. It is no wonder that many voters thought she was the one who was unfair. Obama outspent her tremendously, often giving false negative impressions of her in his ads. I have heard many in the news media talk about Hillary's unfair attacks on Obama without giving facts as to exactly what she said that was not true or fair. When they tried to connect her mistaken memory of the landing which was actually different from what she experienced and was told on the plane at Bosnia, the Obama campaign gave a deliberately false picture of her statements about her actual accomplishments, which were true. She got the votes because she comes across as she really is when she speaks to people.

The more CNN breaks it down and divides Americans, the clearer it is. Barack is right, the election is about change. The need for it, those who want it versus those who don't. The don't fall into two boxes – the ones who are better off with things the way they are – these people are particularly rich; and the ones who fear change.

While Hillary likes to break people into groups by sex and racial prejudice, ("hardworking" is not limited to the hills of Kentucky and West Virginia) the fear group is composed of those who, for lack of thought or lack of care, don't know what change might mean.

One way for the Change Agents to win would be to emphasize these people's fear: A vote for Hillary is a vote for a girl to defend you from all those invisible enemies, yet a vote for McCain is a vote for no money, no fuel and no food. You have a 50-50 chance of making a mistake. Better stay home.

Those who say that Hillary should be given the nomination: That is the most sexist thing to say.

Should she get a nomination that Barack Obama fairly won just because she is a woman?

Why would Obama suck up to a loser, Dimples?

if well over half the people that vote for billary think that she's very negative, then why the living heck are they still voting for her, very naive. she lied in the face of her supporters and voters continuously and voted yes on a war that was very much avoidable

Obama should never pick Hillary as his running mate.

Given Clinton family and her record, it's will be David Palmer from 24 all over again.

no to hillary as vice pres obama would end up like vince foster

I agree with Ryan, Ima Crybaby and Anonymous. People just need to quit crying over spilled milk. Boo hoo. If she loses, she loses.
For those who are stating that they will not vote for the party nominee if their nominee loses, does the current mess we are in not bother you? Do the lives lost in Iraq and the current state of healthcare not bother you? Apparently change doesn't mean that much to you. I thought the point was to stop the damage that Bush is causing, and if you think that voting for McCain will stop it, you're dead wrong. As it has been previously stated, a vote for McCain is a vote for a 3rd Bush term. It's time for people like JD to put their big girl/big boy pants on and start acting like mature adults. Grow up or stay home in November.

Change '08- That's what I plan to vote for.

The fact remains that 50% of the Democratic voters are evenly split and 2 states are being disenfranchised....I am for Hillary all the way....I have also watched McCain's career...He is truly a maverick...He is the opposite of Bush...

I have never voted Republican in my life, but McCain would be the exception for me.

As far as unfair attacks go...no one has said anything about the DNC's agressive negative attacks on John McCain. If we are going to have "politics as usual" that's OK with me, but I do believe that the Obamacan's really believe that Obama is somehow different. Not so! Just look at his career so far.

Wa Wa Wa "If Hillary doesn't win I'm voting for McCain" Wa Wa Wa stop it already! Vote for who ever you want, just stop crying about it. Take your ball and go home.The Democratic Party will be just fine without you. Not sure you'll be fine without the Democratic Party.

Almost all news analyst are in support of obama. So no suprise in seeing this headline. As a woman she is standing alone and still fighting. I wish her all the best.

If Clinton steals her way to the nomination then the Democratic party deserves to burn down this November under a McCain landslide! All the young Democratic supporters supporting Obama will turn their backs on the old establishment supporting Clinton and you can say goodbye to their votes too!

really?? How come they still vote for her, if she is considered as negative as portrayed in the media ?

Hillary's Plan:

1) Destroy Democratic Party's chances of winning Presidency so she can run again in 2012.

2) Dismantle Democratic Party and replace with Clintonists.

3) Declare France the superior nation of the world and submit wholly to the will of their government.

At least that's how it seems anyway...

Of course she attacked unfairly, thats the only way she nows how to play, what gets me, is the fact that even though her supporters realize this they still vote for her. Why do people (in somes states) fear Obama ?. Is it the color of his skin ?. It's sad to think people are judged by skin color, why not look into a person's character ? Looking at Clinton's character, I don't like what I see.
This white middle-aged woman will vote Obama.

Scorzo: A majority of female voters want a woman as president (making history), and are voting for Hillary. A majority of black voters are voting for Obama because they want to see a black man as president (making history). However, I've yet to see an opinion poll showing a marginal % of men voting for Obama because of Hillary's gender. But many whites ARE voting for Hillary because of Obama's race.
Gender/racial pride is one thing, hatred is quite another.

I am 19 years old but am not really new to politics. In the last 8 years I have almost been ashamed to call myself an American. Barack Obama has given me hope for my future and the future of my children. At my college I could not believe the voter turnout to support Barack. He has electrified the new generation, and I know he is the person that can restore America to the respected state it once withheld. I also respect Hillary Clinton, but she has to step aside to unite the democratic vote as soon as possible. I cannot believe the selfishness of the Hillary supporters that will vote for Mccain or not vote at all instead of Obama. I would like one HRC supporter to give me ONE solid reason not to support Obama over McBush.

I was a Clinton supporter but I have changed my opnion about the Clintons for ever....... This is because she and Clinton have no shame left in them as they just want to be the canidate by HOOK or CROOK. One execuse after another does not matter what the Math says, Hillary has already won the nomination.....not for 2008 but for 2012. By staying in the race she is making sure that the Dems are split and willing to let the republicans take us in the dump for 4 more years so she can get the chance again in 2012....So much for the loyalty to the dems and the country.
More than the campain all I see is GO TO HILLARY.COM so she can waiste you money to BACKFILL her pocket.....We are Americans and not STUPID

Christopher Scorzo,

Your information is false. All black voters did not vote for Obama in the first place. Sen. Clinton received black votes just like Sen. Obama received white votes.

Blacks make up a small percentage of each state, therefore you Clinton supporters would like to believe that the Blacks in the states determined the election. I guess you all feel that the only way Blacks will vote for Sen. Obama is because he is Black. We are intelligent enough to decide the candidate to vote on by the candidate's merit.

You Clinton supporters do not have a problem with Whites and women voter for her. Also, you do not mind if Asians, Hispanics, Blacks or any other race or ethnic group vote for her. Of course it is not racism or sexism, because it is her.

Get real, let go of the racism and judge the candidate on their merit.

I think that Obama is sucking up to Hillary and Hillary's voters. Cause he thinks that IF she loses he will get all her people. The ONLY way I'de vote for him is if she is his vice president. Other wise I will vote for Mc Cain. I'm proud to say that I was one of those over 4.000 voters in Kentucky.

A distance call from Tanzania: Democrats stop fighting! The world has seen how the two candidates have carried themselves. If Hillary is to leave behind some legacy, she must concede defeated. This is what Americans need now...a leader who sees, decides and acts on reality! Probably this is among few strongest factors that differentiate Democrats and Republican ( especially when considering past 8 years). With alot of respect for her, she has to show some respect to people's voice and live to the standard people used to held her at. Does she want to differentiate herself from Bush's overlooking of people's voice? That is up to her and the legacy she wants to leave behind.
Can we weigh Edwards' respect and legacy as he stepped down early? I think what Edwards did then did not mean he is not a fighter, rather many of us see him as a wise leader! Hillary (with all humbleness), consider giving joining forces early to reconcile and bring together all those who have indicated above here that they will vote for Mc Cain if not you! I trust you should put national and democratic party interest first before yours! Many those who now think that you are opportunist feel ashamed!

That is a distance call from Tanzania (Hillary, please welcome to Leon Sullivan Summit taking place in Tanzania from 2nd of June 2008)

And the Hillary supporters can't understand why 60% of Americans so dislike Hillary that she is totally unelectable in a general election. There is a very good reason why Karl Rove so desperately wants her to win.

Clintion`s double digit win in few states like West Virginia and Kentukey does not change the permutation of the game, i wonder why she does not want to exit when the ovation is loudest....at least to keep her intergrity in politics and long earned legacy of the clinton family?
It does not pay to go ver y negative on your opponent from the same party.I hope she does not learn this lesson the hard way.

Bucky ..

Hillary had the Black and Hispanic vote at first in earlier primaries.

She led Obama by 36% in the African American Vote.. in January..

But She has now pledged herself to Hard Working people, White people..the uneducated types she can con and mislead with ease.

Things have changed Bucky... If we ran the entire race again Hillary would be Toast before Texas ..Obama got the majority of the Texas delegates the 1st time..

Stop Smokin that pipe ..Ok?

Those people voting for clinton and saying they wont vote for obama are republican's anyway, they wont even vote for her if she becomes the nominee.

Christopher Scorzo,

Blacks have been voting for white presidents (especially democrats) for years. Chill dude.

The people that voted for Clinton and yet stated she unfairly attacks Obama are idiots without brains. I'm glad you will stay home because Obama will be the next president! It is so obvious that they lack the courage to follow their hearts and minds! They were going to vote republican and only voted for Clinton to throw the race! Oregon told the real story and is the only state that really mattered. I am so proud of you Oregon! The beautiful people of Oregon started the Change Train and Your State Rocks! Thank You Oregon Where The Most Beautiful People On The Planet Lives!!!!

Wow. I can't believe that any Hillary supporters admit this. And the ones that do, I can't believe that they think it's ok. But the ones that do, it's no wonder when they say that Obama doesn't share their values. And that's why I didn't vote for Clinton. She doesn't share my values.

I would vote for a woman. but I wouldn't want to vote for THAT woman. I am a 55 year old white woman, and I would dearly love to have a woman candidate that I could back without reservation. I will vote for any Democrat this year, because we need to unify behind the democratic candidate and get rid of the Republicans, especially McCain! But I am very hopeful that Obama will be our democratic nominee. We need to pull together and remember why we are wanting a Democrat in office. Its time to get together, regardless of who the democratic nominee is. If Hillary was the nominee, I would hesitate but I would push that button for Hillary. If Obama was the nominee, I would expect each and every Hillary supporter to hesitate a second, but push that button for Obama. We need to get rid of the Republicans this year, and it is important that we unify the party and vote for the Democratic nominee, regardless of which one it is.

To all the hilly billy supportors of Hillary, you must have voted for Bush in 2004, which resulted in much worse economic conditions today. So nobody in America really cares about what you think. You voted Hillary over Obama, you would vote for McCain over Hillary. Go, back to your Rush Limbaugh sermons and radio commentry
To all the African American people, wake up and go to the election booth. Every vote of your's counts. Don't complain, if Obama looses the election that it is racism. If you really believe in Obama , each and every one of you go to the election booth this November.
Obama does not just stand for black people, but for all of us.
Hillary is already old news, forget about her.
OBAMA / AL GORE 2008

When you say Micchigan and Florida are not being counted because they changed thier primary dates against the rules of the D.N.C.. Who are the they that changed the date and whyy should the voters be penalized?

Voters for Obama are like ostriches and are so detached from the global reality. Open your eyes!!!!! The war on terror is real – its not a lie or an illusion! The current economic crisis is also real and not artificial. Wake up! Don't step down and become one of the world's third world nations. Obama is not ready to be America's president. and it doesn't take an Einstein to figure that out. Imagine how Putin, the middle east, north korea or china will pulverize him. Do you think he can command the respect of these nations and their leaders? After GWB? think again. McCain is not bad because he is more experienced than GWB. Still, Hillary is America's best candidate. She is the real American president. She is the prime mover of change – the icon of true American leadership. She is the real thing. She will make you proud if you open your eyes and see her from the other side of the globe. She is it. She's the "one".

Obama would make a good vice president when Hillary gets the Presidential nomination.Then he can get some EXPERIENCE and learn from Hillary. Obama supporters are rude.

I am very grateful to Senator Clinton for letting me know, after 50 years of living in the US, where the ignorant , irrational and bias people live in the US!!!
Thanks a lot Senator Clinton! At least your race was worth something!!!

A fellow republican...

Sen. Clinton has blamed everyone and everything for her losing. Now she says that sexism played a role in her losing. Sen. Clinton says she is a fighter, well she needs to stand up and face reality. She is the reason that she is losing the Democratic nomination.

Sen. Clinton has lied, vicious, negative, and down right dirty in her campaign. She and her husband are constantly depicting blacks against whites. They have worked the race card to a maximum. The Republicans plays the fear card, well so did the Clinton's. They played the fear of racism and her supporters bought it lock, stock and barrel.

Now it is sexism. I understand women want a woman president. I am a woman, but Sen. Clinton with her vicious campaign does not represent me at all. I was a Clinton supporter, but now I feel that she is a disgrace to all women. I am trully ashamed of her.

She is a women who will do anything to win whether it is ethical or not. No, I am not voting for Sen. Clinton because she is a woman, I am not voting for Sen. Clinton because she is totally unethical and I have more respect for myself..

I think Obama has good ideas. I think he will make a good President...someday. He says that Hillary Clintons' campaign has made a better place for daughters to 'come of age'. What I see is that he has shown those same 'daughters' that a man can come out of nowhere and BUY an election. That someone can come and purchase the dreams of a woman and replace it with his own. If there are inconvenient voters, simply don't allow their votes to count. Too bad Florida and Michigan, but you would jeopardize all those votes that I purchased for 3 to 4 times the amount my opponent could spend. I don't think you can ever have a fair election if you don't have fair election spending rules. PS I am a Canadian, but I have followed this campaign at least as closely as the majority of American citizens.
I wish whichever Democrat wins the nomination success in November, I just wish it weren't because someone could afford 3 to 4 times as much as the other candidate. That is not the kind of CHANGE America needs. It is not the kind of change that 'daughters should come of age in'. I know I am not an American, but consider this an opinion from someone who is not affected by being in the forest and unable to see the trees.

Hillary supporters, WHY would you vote for a republican if your nominee doesn't win? What SENSE does that make? It merely proves that you have NO COMMON SENSE. If you're a democrat, be a democrat and when November comes, vote for your DEMOCRATIC nominee. Has it escaped your notice that ULTIMATELY they're on the same team? They're merely in a battle to be the captain, but if your choice wasn't picked as the captain and your only other option was to play for the enemy team...would you really play for them?? Be serious...NOT SHEEP...

All is fair in love and politics. So what if she "attacks"? That's what running for president is all about. The American people love it, which is why politicians do it. Those who get in the most attacks win.

This reporting this election cycle has been totally biased by the media, their as not been fair and balanced reporting. I have no doubt that the question was asked in such a way that the only answer that the voters could give is that Clinton has attacked Obama unfairly. I could care less about their slanted polls. No one should be dedicated to party above country However, what gives me both, hope and encouragement, and which should give every other American who believes in their country, and who believes that they are entitled to vote for whomever they feel will do the best job as President of this country is that the true moderate to center democrats from the party will not elect someone with a socialist ideology / background, someone who has no experience, someone who is a divider, someone who is named Obama. Call us uneducated, call us blue collar, call us bitter, call us God Fearing, call us anything you want. In November you can call us the ones who rejected your socialist candidate and elected John McCain President.

Since so many of you dislike Obama after he has done everything to sway you, then I guess it is the end of the democratic party. I am going independent, and I hope that other African Americans do so too. We need to do what is important for the country. If you believe all the lies that Hillary has told all of you, then I refuse to be in the same party with people who make decision base on fear and race. We supported Bill Clinton by 83%, and you all don't gave a care about Obama. I am now divorced from the Democratic Party since there is no distinction between the Democrats and the Republicans racist behavior, you can share the same boat.

CLINTON OR MCCAIN . NO 2 OBAMANATION

The majority of voters in Kentucky and WV agree HRC attacked Obama unfairly. So is it fair to say they voted for her because they are afraid of real change? I believe so. HRC supporters are the real "naysayers and skeptics".

I only have to hope that her supporters recognize that HRC has been unfair about other things as well...like her several desperate attempts to move the goal posts to gain favor and deliberately causing division in the democratic party because things are not looking good for her. Wakeup voters and do the right and fair thing.

To the "John Goils" of the Democratic Party: how many Republicans have you heard say that their candidate didn't win therefore they are going to vote Democratic? See how stupid some of you Democrats sound? Any wonder that you can't win national elections?

Hillary /Willy have spent the whole time with her kitchen sink strategy making all kinds of uncalled for nasty jabs from racist, hallow suit,his speeches ,McCain was qualified for president but you would have to ask Ocama that question ,flag pins (please note Hlary is not weraing a flag pin).
Hil liars lIES that took us to Bosnia with sniper fire,gas tax relief she knew was a joke ,connecting anything she could make up to damage Obama.
Well guess what all this B.S, did her in ..
wake up Hillary you hav e LOST

Dear CNN

You guys will do anything to put in print crap about Hillary. You should just come out and say you hate women!

SJ

Being a Hillary supporter it is sad to see that she's all but out of the race. And it is sad. But then what we as democrats must realize is that a vote for McCain is a vote AGAINST Hillary. And we must ensure that doesn't happen. Obama is a good candidate nevertheless.

Unite Hillary supporters
Unite Democrats

Obama/Hillary '08

Compare the difference between the average voted in Kentucky and the average voter in Oregon. What you have is the less educated lower income mostly white voted, against the educated, progressive higher income white voters. Wake up Kentucky the progressive voters are trying to help this country. End the war your young people are dieing in and provide a healthcare system that helps those who want it. I know 30 yrs a nurse in IL. Obama did that for our state and I thank him for that.

I will vote as I please.

I am a new Independent, former Democrat.

I will never vote for Obama, he is a sexist creep, witness his treatment of a female reporter. And I watched that video more than once.

Mr. Hot Stuff.

I am writing in Hillary in November, that is final decision.

By the Way .. She did not win by 41 pts In White Virginia.. Thats another Clinton Fantasy, purpotrated by CNN & others.

Edwards was still on the ballot and he got 9%

She beat Obama by 32 pts.

Tell the frakking Truth Just Once ..can you please?

When I read all these comments, I understand better why we elected Bush twice. We're screwed...

oh thank god some people have sense. This adds to the recent poll showing that the majority of american do not rust her. She is also in deep debt so how do you want her to face Mccain? do not understand.

It was not the fact the hillary had a vigina that kill her. it was the fact that she did not start well in Iowa. She seems to have gone brain dead and just don't seem to see the writing on the wall
It says Obama .
Poor looser I would say. The Clinto Era is over.
God Bless America
Change is on the way.
about time.
Thank Goodness.

Hey! Quit being unfair against Hillary! Be ashame of what you are trying to drive America to Obama. Your brown nose is so getting bigger!
Stop smearing Hillary if you are not cowarding to have a lady leader!

i wouldn't be surprised if alexander mooney made up those exit pol comments. there is no mention of who conducted the poll. further, Hillary did not say negative things about obama preceeding either of those two primaries. both candidates ceased their criticisms of each other after the indiana primary. Before that they were both leveling criticisms at each other. obama's people, and obama himself, have attacked Hillary's character, hillary as person, in a very mean way. hillary at least stuck to criticizing obama's ability as a presidential candidate.
the press has been very unfair to my candidate, i have lost respect for the lot of you. with your biased opinions, parading as experts, you have done a disservice to the people of this country, especially those who might need help seeing things clearly.

Barac Obama is the right person for the Job!!
Everyone knows it!! His Race should make no difference, he's an AMERICAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
America needs a Barac Obama NOW!!!!

You people that are not voting for him simply because he's NOT WHITE should be ashamed!! America for Americans all Americans!!!

If she gets the nomination, she will not win the general election and we'll all be screwed. Even if she did win the general election, we'd all be screwed, as the continued decline of the country would just be more gradual than it would under McBush. Like her husband, for whom I voted twice, Hillary does not have the ability to bring this country's people together. Obama does, which is, of course, why the majority of the democratic leaders of this country, including Teddy Kennedy, have endorsed him. May the Great Spirit help us!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,haaaaaaaaaaa!

These polls and Hillary supporters are funny as hell!

They vote for Hillary and say Obama will win?

They vote for Hillary but won't vote for Obama?

They vote for Hillary but don't like how she is attacking Obama?

I hate to say this but............. are they that stupid?

Here's the best part----– Hillary wins Kentucky and WV and yet she is still behind and has lost this race!

(: Good thing this isn't the kentucky Debry-----
Go Big Brown Obama!

I know CNN won't post my comments... but I will try.....Hope is.........

TONIGHT WE THE SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA WILL DECLARE THE OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE. THERE IS NOTHING SECRET......THE NUMBERS ARE THE NUMBERS..........TO TRY CHANGE RULES AFTER THE GAME IS WEAK APPROACH AND PLEASE CLINTON SUPPORTERS JOIN US AND LETS HAMMER THE MCCAIN WAGON.

HILLARY WE LOVE YOU BUT THE RACE IS OVER. I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO BE REMEMBERED AS HUCKBEE...........

If you think these are attacks, just wait for Mc Cain and Obama. This is nothing but tee tee tee!!!!!!!!!!!!

That woman wont quit...She just keeps going and going and going.

For the first time in my adult life the most pathetic candidate I have ever seen running for President is BO. What a joke! He acts like he's in high school yet. And his wife looks down right mean. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...And they still voted for her based on race.

LOL!!! I wonder who they interviewed??? Republicans?? Obama Suppporters CLAIMING to be Hillary supporters??? We know about your polls schmolls...they don't mean anything anymore!!

THE PEOPLE are the ones who have THE LAST WORD!!

NOT THE MEDIA!! NOT THE PUNDIDIOTS!! NOT O-BITTER!!! NOT THE DNC!!!!

With Hillary All the Way to the Convention...."SWEETIES"!! LOL!!

In two weeks the republicans plan to release a video of Michelle Obama on The very same Pulpit at the very same Church Saying the very same thing about Whites that the Rev, Wright said . I am a democrat and will vote for whom ever is the nominee. But I worry about this video that is floating around out there.

In the beginning of this race each candidate focused on the problems we are facing and solutions that they would implement. As the candidates debated, Hillary's focus changed from the issues we are facing to Obama's lack of experience and/or substance. This decision was ill advised and turned her into the "bad girl" who chose to use "old school" negative campaigning tactics to gain an edge. What made this decision worse was that Obama didn't retaliate and chose to focus on his plan. America is tired of the old school politics that focuses more on fear and personal attacks than the issues our country is facing. With Hillary's personal and unfair attacks on Obama she not only hurt her chances of becoming the nominee but also the VP. If I was Obama I would have a very difficult time trusting someone who attacked my values, beliefs, and ideas.

This is my third time trying to post this comment–what is going on? This headline is a perfect illustration of how the media has helped sway this nomination in favor of Barack Obama. I never thought I'd hear myself say the phrase "liberal news media," but find myself saying it now. I've been a diehard democrat in the past, but feel betrayed by the media and the DNC. I know Hillary has made mistakes in her campaign and she is responsible for that, as well as for the Bosnia comments, but I am so tired of the fact that no matter what happens, the media seems to spin things in a way that compliments Obama and either dismisses or criticizes Hillary Clinton. Several weeks ago when Obama was sending out misleading flyers about her health care plan, the ticker read something like "Clinton lashes out at Obama, Obama stands firm." All you have to do is look at the connotation of those words to see how the media has used its power to paint a negative picture of Hillary Clinton and a positive one of Barack Obama. I am disgusted with CNN and the democratic party; at this point, I have no idea how I'll vote in November. And I don't say that lightly or out of "sour grapes" as some might suggest. I just feel really disillusioned with the whole "democratic" process.

If you are a Democrat...........and you believe in what your two amazing candidates are saying – which is really the same message......you cannot in your right mind vote Republican.
As a Canadian, I am envious of your choice for the leader of the Democratic party. What an exciting time for you all. My God, after 8 years of Bush, how could you ever vote for McCain who will continue with the Bush agenda?
Once the dust settles and the candidate is selected, you must come together for the sake of your country. This division of the dem party is just what the Republicans want. I don't understand how someone who claims to be a Democrat could ever vote for McCain. Makes no sense.

I have nobody to vote for, if Hillary is not on the ticket! She is the only one that could restore respect and boost our economy. The pretty speaches from pretty Obama's face, won't do the magic! We need clear voice, and clear solutions, not just promises of change we can believe in... I don't need to be a believer to make see a better future! I want clear actions, that will motivate all of us, to make it a better country, that we all love!
GO HILLARY! Please don't give up, I love you!

The Democratic Party will lose my support forever if Obama gets the nomination. He is just the Democrat's version of Bush, all talk and no substance. My family and I will consider sitting out the next election but to stop this idiot from dragging the country through another 4 years of depression, we will hold our nose and vote McCain.

Since 17 million voters must think the Clinton scandals and history of lying no longer matter, then what do you find strange about many KY and WV voters overlooking Hillary's unfair attacks, as well? It's frightening that so many voters aren't judging the Clintons by the same standards that they would use in judging any other candidate.

Hillary 08 or McCain 08 NEVER B. HUSSEIN OBAMA.... I couldn't agree with you more. I have to laugh when they say the democratic party will come together if Obama is the nominee. These super delegates better take notice and listen when us Hillary supporters say we will not vote for Obama. If the bitterness remarks, Rev. Wright, Michelle never being proud of America in her lifetime, etc. would have been released a long time ago, he wouldn't even be in the running. We don't want McCain either, but at least McCain and his wife aren't anti-American, non-Christian, non-patriotic, and inexperienced. I will stay home or write Hillary on the ballot as I don't want to be the least bit responsible if McCain or Obama are elected. God Help Us if Obama is the next president. check out DONTVOTEOBAMA.NET and see why. I would consider a joint ticket only if Hillary is in the number one spot. Darlene in California

Clinton no good

Hillary is the only option. If Obama wins, McCain is the lesser evil. Nothing can be worse than Obama. Obama fully knows that he is inexperienced and totally underestimated America's allies and opponents. If he truly loved America as he claims, he would step aside and vote for Hillary. His vanity is getting the best of him. Obama is not running for president – his campaign managers are! That is the whole point. If you strip him off his campaign managers or so-called cabinets, I don't think he'd stand a chance against Hillary at all! Hillary may be a woman but she is standing her ground. She is leading her campaign and not the other way around.

It's what she does best! Go home Hilary!

Why can't people see that Hillary is our only hope for the future? She can restore our country's favor in other countries and take care of business. Please let Hillary be our President in 2008. Vote for Hillary and vote for a change in our country. A much needed change. Please vote for Hillary.

How are you able to accept all her lies, rethoric and unfair attacks.
That's make her inapt to be a president. She will not been taken serious in the world. The whole world have heard and seen her unsympathetic behaviour.

she is snake like her husband , and she's gonna ROB that poor black boy from the south side and than we gonna have some really great RIOT everywhere

Wait a minute, wasn't it not too long ago that Hillary and her campaign accused Obama of "complaining" too much? Boy oh boy, she's desperate for anything, isn't she?

It's over for her, and it's time to UNITE. Shame on you Hillary supporters for saying you'd vote for Old Man River McCain instead of Obama.

Obama '08!

Bucky, if the election system had different rules, Obama and would have used a different strategy. The problem with the Clinton campaign was that they acted as if the contests were winner take all. In fact, it's been reported that Penn thought that this was how California worked. Big mistake.

The primaries are not designed to simulate the general election. They're designed for people to choose who they want to run for the party. Extrapolating wins in primary contests to general elections is flawed at best.

Obama is a wimp and a cry baby and his wife has a mean look to her.
For the first time in my adult life I am seeing the most pathetic candidate for President ever and a Democratic Party even more pathetic. You're going to lose big time.

MCCAIN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Senator Hillary Clinton made far more unfair attacks against Senator Barack Obama. She started it when she saw that she was lossing she got down duty and low. Bringing up the fact that hard working white voters would vote for her is a subtle way of using the race card. Now she have a problem on her hand I charge that remarks like that and other remarks made by the Senator is the reason why whites when polled by CNN today was bold enough to straightout say they voted for senator Clinton instead of Obama because he is black. A very bold statement to admit to in a day where segragation is not lawful. I challenge and strongly urge Senator Hillary Clinton in the name of segregation and undo the damages you help make in your campaign speeches from this day forward tell the voters that if they are going to use race as a vehicle for who they will vote for then you don't want their vote. BET YOU WILL NOT DO IT MAKE ME A LIAR!! You made comments on the bitter issue, and that fun making you did against Obama about the CELESTIAL CHROUS and everything will be alright, relates to the black church. You knew exactly what you were intending to project to the voters, Using the race card in a subtle way. Shame, Shame on you we are not stupid. I object to you as a VP for the Democratic Party mainly because I strongly believe you would carry those unfair tactics to the Whitwhouse AND WHAT IS WORSE YOU WILL FORGET THAT YOU ARE THE VP NOT THE PRESIDENT. Yes We Can and a Demogracy we can believe in. I believe Senator you have yet to learn those qualities and also ethic and principles.

Reason why Barack Hussein Obama will win the demoncratic nomination:

1st) Media refused to do their job by exposing their "Golden Child" for entire year....until finally...after he was so far ahead in delegates... the Rezko, Rev. Wright, Ayers, Louis Farrahkan, etc broke out.

2nd) Not yet in the real world college kids and detached from the real world upper income whites buy into the rhetoric of change from someone who hasn't brought about any change of any significance in his entire life

3rd) Blatant racism by the black population.

4th) The "yet undiscovered" source of his fund raising. When the hell was the last time college kids and the black community in general had any money....????

5th) Politicians more interested in garnering favors with the "new boy" then placing the most qualitied candidate in office.

6th) Incompetence and GREED of the DNC. They are more interested in strengthening their base in the future (by supporting an incompetent Obama) then they are of supporting a candidate whose resume is 100 times more experienced and better capable of repairing the damage done by the Republicans.

7th) Finally....the stupidity of American's willing to put such a blatant racist, with a very questionable past,....into the white house.

Why doesn't the press discuss the fact that Hillary can't get the educated white vote?

Bucky said:
"If you allocated 100% of the pledged delegates to the winner of each State, Clinton would be ahead big time. This is the way pledged delegates will be allocated in November."

Glad you pointed that out. In fact this was part of Mark Penn's campaign strategy. Pick up the big states and the rest will fall in place. In a strategy meeting someone even pointed out that this is not how pledged delegates are allocated in democratic primaries. Unfortunately for Hillary they went ahead with the strategy.

If Hillary's ability to run the country is anything like her ability to run her campaign, I'm glad she's not going to get the nomination. Her ability to go from inevitable to implausible in a handful of months is reminiscent of Bushes ability to go from an approval rating as high as 92% to a low of 19% an a handful of years.

You McCain basher's are hilarious, yet pathetic. It is so obvious you have fallen under Obama's trance. You have as much free-will and conscious control as a zombie.

McCain is without a doubt the least partisan cadidate up for election. He has collaboarted with Democrats on numerous initiatives, scorning party affiliations for the common good. Meanwhile, you blindly support a man who has the most liberal voting record in the senate, but also claims that he is the only one who can unite America.

Saying McCain will just be another Bush is like saying Obama will be another Ted Kennedy or Bill Richardson or Al Sharpton, or any other politician whom he shares views with and has been endorsed by. How shallow are you that you can't take the time to educate yourself, and evalutate Mr. McCain as an individual? This is an election for the next free leader of the world for crying out loud. We owe it to ourselves to take an objective look at each candidate, regardless of AGE, RACE, or POLITICAL PARTY. Vote on the ISSUES, EXPERIENCE, and MORAL CHARACTER.

this woman is a wolf in sheeps clothing. her mission statement is "if i cant be the nominee, the the DRC must go down", ostensibly. . .obama must go down.

. . .and i sense she misses her room in the white house.

This is her twilight of the gods, her gotterdamurung. she will take the democratic party down with her, just as jefferson davis took the south down with him. look for her to launch a 3rd party if obama gets the nomination.

the days of the 2 party system is over IMO... McCain stands for the "newly designed" republican party, which is very liberal, while Ron Paul is the true Republican Candidate...

Obama is a socialist and Jimmy Carter Resurrection, which is why I'm putting all my retirement in oil commodities and the value of gold, because 25% inflation will hit this country in a few years and we'll wonder where it came from...

it came from the voters

What a stunt! With all of the negative ads and the help of most of the media, Obama supporters have the audacity to to claim that Mrs. Hillary Clinton has been attacking Obama unfairly. Well in my opinion, put down the kool-aid. You folks are not only wet behind the ears, you have not lived yet. You only know the politics according to Obama, and slowly put surely the entire electorate of these United States of America will learn his policy of politics, to which he will find himself in a landslide DEFEAT. If you can't take the heat, stay the hell away from the kitchen. These news cast pundits, throwing the kitchen sink at Hillary have shown their tactics, which will only place their careers in question. In my opinion, both he and the rest of his dynamic duo are cry babies. God forbid if the dynamic duo make it to The White House. Those who do not go along with "their" new regime may well end up in the cornfield like in the episode in the Twilight Zone. Yep, allot of good folks / patriots may be turned into a jack in a box, martyrs to something called Democracy and America, which you find so many faults. This be my own opinion, yet many others keep saying the same thing. Hillary For President in 08, or Third Party creation to save Democracy. You are a Great disappointment Mr. Dean. But it be an ill wind that does not blow somebody any good. The American People are just now starting to smell the coffee. Hillary by far, and we will stand by her through thick and thin, rain or shine, to hell and back. God Bless The United States & Hillary Clinton! Confusion To Our Enemies, as the old saying goes.

There is no mathematical possibility of billary winng the nomination. Face the cold hard facts. You lost fair and square and trying to change the rules every week is pathetic. I am a michigan voter and would be angry if she were declared the winner of my state primary. First of all the candidate I would have voted for (Obama) was not even on the ballot, and second a lot of people stayed home because of that. If Billary really cared about our country they would get out tonight. But it is obvious to all us hard working educated folks that all Billary cares for is getting her hands on the oval office.

To all those who say they will vote for McCain rather than Obama, it's just that type of thinking that gave us 8 long years of George Bush.

Go ahead and vote for McCain. Go ahead and vote against your own economic interests.

Just dont come on this board whining when you start paying $6 for a gallon of gas under a McCain administration.

You are bitter that Clinton did not get the nomination, so please, go right ahead and cut your nose to spite your face. Feeble shallow minds are only capable of feeble shallow thoughts.

McCain/Clinton 'o8. Hope yall feel better now.

I was an Obama supporter till I found out he's a racist and discovered his anti-American ways.

THAT MAKES THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR HER

AS HONORABLE AS HER.

Hey folks,
I am not from the US but I am following the Election since the start...
In democracy, when it comes to presidential election you are voting both for a man and a party... How can a dem possibly thinking about voting for McCain? especially if both HRC and BO have the same programs as a party and so few differences fundamentally? This is not a football game where you can just switch side if you are not happy...
The US goes around the world to try to bring democracy and from what I have heard in this campain (from voter and some campaigners from both side) it really looks like back home in Africa where people vote for friendship, gifts, beauty, gender or whatever wron reason...

Carefull though, the world is watching ...
Get Over your pride and carry one message as a Dem. Party in November and take back the white house... The world needs Dem to carry this and besides, you American need it the most...

Cheers

Hillary has been badmouth not only by Obama supporters but by Obama himself, he flipped off Hillary.

No sweeties, DNC may continue shoving Obama down our throats but we will spit him out like a bad food, my vote goes to John McCain!

Yes she did and she deserves what she gets a big loss. She should have held a sensible campagine like she is doing now, but it is too late. She did not need to attack Obama like she did and I believe that everything he encountered she had something to do with including Rev. Wright. I always said tha God does not like ugly and he will deal with you.

Obama will lose in November, you can thank all of us Hillary Dems/Independents now if you want.

I find the ignorance of the public absolutely amazing. Do people not have minds of their own to make decisions?

This isn't about Dems vs Repubs, this is about the best candidate, and who will do the least damage to this country.

Ideally, the best choice would be to vote in an independant. With an independant in office, nothing would ever get accomplished. The act of doing nothing is greater than the act of doing anything. For years, these criminals have been driving us into the ground over and over again. Their way forward always pushes us ten steps back. At least with an independant in office, no one would support the proposals made, nothing would get approved, and we would be better off for it.

Now lets look at these candidates.

McCain is a hot head, trigger finger old man. Through his years he's become bitter and angry. Does anyone still remember his "gooks" comment from years ago? Does anyone remember the issues with his wife? Do you want his finger on our nuke button?

Hillary is so stubborn that she refuses to allow anyone tell her what to do. Is that someone we want in office? She's already told the economists to piss off. It's her way or the highway. Her bold choleric temperment is what we DO NOT need in office. You can see how she attacks Obama, and Obama doesn't want to fight back. People of integrity and character do not want to dip to those levels, which is why Obama has been taking more blows than giving. Can't anyone see this?

And then there's Obama, the least experienced, calm, collected, and more intelligent of the three. People claim he has lack of experience in office, here's what I say about that.

McCain and Hillary have years and years of political experience which consist of lies, deceit, manipulation, and flip flopping. Obama has hardly that kind of experience, and is the more logical choice to make. Their years of experience is a shame to this country, as very little positive has come from it. I would happily take the least defective, least damaged, and least corrupt candidate of the three given.

Remember that the top office position in this country is supported by the brightest people in the country to guide, and advise the president. The president can be as dumb as a pile of rocks, but still do the job, if he's willing to listen to the advice given. Look at our current administration, how bright is Bush? Our country isn't doing too well is it? His stubborn cow boy ways got us to where we are now. Can anyone see a pattern between those cow boy ways, and Hillary's stubborn ways? I do, and we don't need that again.

McCain is a bitter hot head, and Hillary doesn't listen to anyone. She's too darn bullheaded to be in control. Obama is a calm and collected person, and he's intelligent to add to the scenerio. He will be able to review advice properly, like a person should. The temperments between all three are very different, and I would gladly take Obama's temperment in office any day.

Once this country was run by statesmen, people that actually worked for the country. We've also in the history of this country, had the opportunity to have some of the most loved presidents as well. FDR, Kennedy, Lincoln, etc. What if Obama is the next statesman? We KNOW Clinton and McCain are already part of the criminal element of politics we already dispise. I'm not willing to miss an opportunity to potentially vote in the next stateman we will see. I missed the Kennedy era, I look forward to seeing if Obama can live up to that status. If we vote any other candidate, we will definately not have that opportunity.

Oh they must be going by all the blogs on CNN.

PRO OBAMA AT CNN

ALL GOOD FOR OBAMA

ALL NEGATIVE FOR HILLARY

HILLARY HAS NOT ATTACKED THE CRYBABY UNFAIRLY! SHE JUST KNOWS WAY MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAT THE REST OF AMERICA. THANK THE MEDIA FOR THAT! AMERICA IS JUST BECOMING A JOKE. WE ARE LEAVING AN IDIOT PRESIDENCY FOR A CRYBABY PRESIDENT! OMG!

The problem now is that people are not voting FOR Hillary. They are voting AGAINST Barack. They have seen her cry twice. Can she go into heated meetings with world leaders and begin to cry? They know that she is weak because she is emotional, a normal female trait. I can say it because I am a female. I am just being truthful. Something people need to be. People are willing to allow more of our men and women to die in the senseless war in Iraq than to vote for an African-American. Even more than the economy, the gas problem or the foreclosure situation, it has become obvious by looking at West Virginia, Kentucky, and other states that human life means so little to some so-called God-fearing Americans!

Cant we all just get along?

One people. One Nation. One destiny.

Barack a uniter...??? Yeah...that's why he worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure REVOTES never took place in Florida or Michigan.

Barack leading us during a time of war...??? Yeah...that's why he has absolutely no foreign policy experience and wants to meet face to face with terrorists without any stipulations.

Barack saving the economy....??? Yeah...him and his background of corruption with people like Tony Rezko.

Barack Hussein Obama's LIES + the stupidity of the American people = a third straight election that an INCOMPETENT gets into office.

I really feel sorry for her. She did almoust everything to be on the top again, she even lied (well nothing new there) many many times and still trailing Obama. What a pitty! I bet she is hoping that something is going to happen in the last minute or the old establishment is going to do something about this guy who wants to change well oiled engine

Obama and his supporters need stop being cry babies! get tough or go home!

Hillary Cinton or McCain! never never Hussein!

I'd think some might pause to consider why someone that is a name brand and that started with a 30% lead needs to make attacks they see as unfair, and wonder why they strongly support such a candidate?

I'm also not sure why we should trust someone to lead in budget issues that has done such a poor job with their campaign finances or how one can claim an advantage in experience, though they have the very least total of years in elected office of any candidate, but those are stories for a different thread I reckon.

One answer Rev Wright, he wants everything his way. Just like Bush.

He can call Bill Clinton racist but we have to leave his wife alone when she makes speaches, hell no.

One democratic voter going to vote McCain.

AT THE END OF THE CAREERS & LIVES OF BOTH CLINTONS,

THEY WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING HONORABLE, DECENT

OR MEMORABLE.

It's one thing to attack a member of the opposite party and it's another to attack a member of your own party! Hillary's behavior throughout this entiry primary season has been at the very least dispicable!! Not to mention she lies, she's negative, she panders, she is not geniune and ultimately lacking in character.

No wonder she has received no superdelegate endorsements since her win in W. Virgina!! These people know and have known her for years, and even they won't vouch for her! This should tell you something people.

Being attacked has nothing to do with being tough or not. Hillary still thinks this race is about her – she is selfish!! This race is about us people. It's about America and the direction we are going to go in the next 4-8 years!!! Millions of voters have put Barack within 40 delegates of sowing up the Dem Nomination. Like it or not – these are the rules that everyone agreed to – including HIllary! Now she wants to go back on her word and change the rules so they suit her?! Never!!!! Hillary has the highest negatives amongst all the candidates! She is viewed by at least 54% of this country as untrustwory and shallow!!! No big surprise here folks !!

Can we please get over this bickering over Clinton or Obama? We gotta remain united and not let McCain seize the chance and get the presidency! No more 4 years of Bush!

Anything but McCain '08!

The similarities between the 2007 French presidential election and this current campaign has caught my interest. Hopefully, if Senator Obama is elected, his lack of experience will not cause his presidency to follow that of the president of France.

This headline is a perfect illustration of how the media has helped sway this nomination in favor of Barack Obama. I never thought I'd hear myself say the phrase "liberal news media," but find myself saying it now. I've been a diehard democrat in the past, but feel betrayed by the media and the DNC. I know Hillary has made mistakes in her campaign and she is responsible for that, as well as for the Bosnia comments, but I am so tired of the fact that no matter what happens, the media seems to spin things in a way that compliments Obama and either dismisses or criticizes Hillary Clinton. Several weeks ago when Obama was sending out misleading flyers about her health care plan, the ticker read something like "Clinton lashes out at Obama, Obama stands firm." All you have to do is look at the connotation of those words to see how the media has used its power to paint a negative picture of Hillary Clinton and a positive one of Barack Obama. I am disgusted with CNN and the democratic party; at this point, I have no idea how I'll vote in November. And I don't say that lightly or out of "sour grapes" as some might suggest. I just feel really disillusioned with the whole "democratic" process.

SHE HAS SET THE WOMAN'S CAUSE BACK 50 YEARS.

SHE ALSO HAS DONE A GOOD JOB FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

BILL HAS NOTHING ON HILLARY.SHE HAS SHOWN THE SAME

KIND OF DISRESPECT AND DISREGARD FOR THE AMERICAN

VOTER & THEIR PARTY. EVEN IF SHE WERE AN OUT RIGHT

MORON, SHE KNOWS SHE HAS LOST. SHE WILLING TO TRASH

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY APART FOR ANYTHING SHE CAN GET.

WE ALREADY HAVE A THAT PRESIDENT.

This just shows her true nature. Some people are impressed w/ this type of behavior. Not much different from what we already have in my opinion. Will this result in unity not only within this party but across party lines? My 5-yr old knows the answer to this. We need to learn how to start working together...both sides of the aisle.

Allow me to do some education. Blacks have voted for white presidents in this country all of their lives. Now there is an opportunity for a 50% white/50% black to be president, them voting for Obama cannot be compared with Hillary's blue-collar white voters. I agree 100% with David Gergen; Hillary should tell all the white voters who are voting for her because of race that she does not want their vote. Furthermore, Obama did not court the black vote, but they came on their own volition, because of this great opportunity; an opportunity that may not come again for a long time. It's okay for whites to now support the blacks and a capable African-American who is wise and strong.

Ohh Im from Kentucky.. I thought the UnFair means..United Nations
Fair Attacks....:)

tee heee Im a High School Quituate..:)

Can we stop with the 'magic number counting':

"If you dont count caucus votes, and if super delegates voted their states choice, and if you count chickens and Poland..."

Look at reality. The DNC set rules for a reason. Just because they do not play to your favor does not mean they are wrong.

Obama, like or hate, has the most votes across the board. The question is, are you going to support the Democratic frontrunner, or spite him for old policies just because your choice didnt make it?

Are people really going to be that childish with their vote?

People....Hilary lost the primary. The only way to dispute that is actually to overturn the current election results. There is no dispute on who the majority has actually chosen. The only reason we are even having this discussion is because Hillary is a woman. Absolutely NO-BODY would be looking at overturning a Hillary Clinton lead to nominate Obama. Even better than that, no one would be looking to overturn a Clinton lead for McCain. The states that Clinton has won in the primary a heavily conservative.....IE, red states. The primary is telling us that these states are more comfortable voting for a white woman instead of a black man. In the general, they will be more comfortable voting for a white man instead of a white woman. So, Hillary's whole arguement for why she should be the nominee is ultimately flawed. Let's get our personal feelings out of this thing. Our personal feelings are what put Bush in office and damaged our rights. Think about it.

P.S. Winning the majority of uneducated and RACIST voters is nothing to be proud of. Winning the racist vote is nothing to be proud of when your opponent is black.

And they call themselves Church going, value based, Christians when they are openly admitting to their bigotry. If 21% admit race was a factor, imagine the % that don't admit it. You're getting close to at least 40%. Glad i'm as far away as I am from that area of the country. I just feel sorry for the many good hearted people that have to put up with the majority of the bad apples.

This election does not appear to have anything to do with what is good for the country,what is right or wrong, a lot to do about who is black or white,who is male or female. It is interesting to read the blogs to see how low people can get but difficult to see any advantage there is in trying to change minds.

A new America is on the horizon!

Obama 08 & 12!

Can anyone here, anyone at all give me one thing that Obama has done (aside from speeches and making claims) that should merit my vote? He talks and he preaches but I have never heard of ONE thing that he has done as a senator that warrants me voting for him. Dont tell me "he didnt vote for the war" he was not even there to vote/not vote for it. All I ask is for ONE.

Bucky said:
"If you allocated 100% of the pledged delegates to the winner of each State, Clinton would be ahead big time. This is the way pledged delegates will be allocated in November."

Glad you pointed that out. In fact this was part of Mark Penn's campaign strategy. Pick up the big states and the rest will fall in place. In a strategy meeting someone even pointed out that this is not how pledged delegates are allocated in democratic primaries. Unfortunately for Hillary they went ahead with the strategy.

If Hillary's ability to run the country is anything like her ability to run her campaign, I'm glad she's not going to get the nomination. Her ability to go from inevitable to implausible in a handful of months is reminiscent of Bushes ability to go from an approval rating as high as 92% to a low of 19% an a handful of years.

I read and write on these blogs almost nightly, and I have seen what her attacks have done to her "supporters". Her negativity spreads like venom and no matter what anyone says- this has NOT been good for the Democratic Party.
Unfortunately, it has also affected the Clinton Legacy in this particular household- and for that reason alone, I'm very sad.

She attack obama unfairly and the voters agree, yet, they still choose to vote for clinton.

The reasoning behind this is answered in one word.

RACISM

The Obama campaigners are such a bunch of hypocrites!
They walk around complaining about attacks, as if they had not attacked just as much every time they had a chance.

Senator Obama has been acting all nice and sweet towards Clinton, thanking her in her recent victories, with such a non-sincere tone, ONLY because that is the tune he was advised to dance to gain more votes.

Well we here in Germany think every real democrat who thinks he or she is doing his or herself a favor by voting GOP instead of Obama only because their favorite candidate didn't get the nomination, is more than stupid. It doesn't make any sense risking to live 4 more years with bush/mccain politics knowing that the USA lost respect worldwide during that period, just in order to get back at fellow democrats for not voting "Hillary".

That's not reasonal and fair against other fellow democrats and the rest of the citizins of the USA

Don't be stupid and vote OBAMA or else more respect will be lost and the consequence of that will soon be the lost of Power

Believe thats what most of our Profs in the Ludwig Maximilian Universityof Munich teach us.

DON'T BE STUPID

Never quit HIllary as she never quits us. She is the one consistently fighting for all votes must be counted and all voice must be heard. She is the president for us, for Americans. Obama does not care our votes or voice, why go for Obama? If Hillary were a man, she would have won long ago.

This is complete BS. Does anyone honestly believe these "polls" CNN – PLEASE STOP. We are NOT 3RD GRADERS. WE KNOW YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS IN ANY SORT OF WAY OF WAY TO GET THE ANSWERS YOU WANT.

Look at yourself in the mirror. If Hillary won't win and If you aren't voting for Obama for the single reason because he is half black, you are a disgrace to this country and I'm glad you aren't voting.

yes ricky I am cause at least mcain is qualified to run a country unlike Obama

The Clinton's should know politics aint fair.
Move on.

LBW – Hillary Clinton has the exact same thing going on on her website. It's where supporters go to blow off steam. That's completely different than calling people in their homes or knocking on their doors to spoon-feed them lies.

I was a supporter of Hillary, but when I see how she is continually going back on things such as Michigan and Florida (which she agreed on the rules) but is trying to move the goal post when it is in her interest, I have no more trust in her or belief in her.

Christopher Scorzo...Blacks have been extremely loyal to the Clintons and Democratic party for years. Are the vast majority of them voting for Barack Obama because of Black lineage. However, I sincerely doubt the most Blacks would vote for McCain if Obama isn't selected or chosen to be the Democratic nominee. But, can this be said for the blue collar, less educated, white voters, i.e., West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc., that have blatantly stated that they won't vote for him if their candidate, Hilary Clinton isn't chosen to represent the party. What exactly do you think Hilary meant when she boasted about being able to reach those blue collar, elderly white voters – a demographic that Obama has failed at making progress? Subliminally...she was politely stating that Super Delegates should back her simply because of being white. Now...who's really playing the race card?

Hillary is a shameless pig. That's right, I said it. A shameless pig.

Somehow it's sexist to tell a delusional woman that she's delusional.

I still have yet to hear a Hillary supporter justify that SNIPER FIRE stunt. How did that go away so easily? How is she a better general election candidate with "experience" like that?

Before you go after me about calling her a shameless pig, which she is, justify the sniper fire thing.

She is a disgrace. She is disgusting. The most sore and pathetic loser since Tonya Harding.

If McCain wins in November, we'll have Hillary Clinton to blame.

will you just stop all this crap on what clinton does wrong all you media people just back obama and drag her through the mud and anything that comes out about obama is dismissed unbelievable!!! Plain and simple Clinton is more qualified then Obama and I am letting everyone know that if she is not the nominee then Ill be in line for Mcain and no Im not just saying that like some news channels are saying

You Obama worshippers have got it all wrong. Or are simply in denial. The only reason we will vote for McCain over Obama is simply, he and many of his supporters are this countries enemy. Just ask yourself if you fit in that catagory. We could careless what Hillary says, we are not going to join you anti-americans in taking over this country. We love our country and don't want to see it destroyed. And that is just what the ghetto and the communist plan to do under this sub-human anti-christ obama. Many of his followers are communist, not making this up, I have meet many, that admit it to my face. I can only imagine how many there are out there that don't admit it. We will never vote against American interest, even if we are democrats. And don't try to turn us off from McCain, he is a very moderate republican, which is also where millions of us are going to go, we may just become republican, we are already moderate democrats, we will never vote against this country like you super-left ant-american communists.

PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON 2008 !!!

INDEPENDENT ON THE BALLOT HILLARY CLINTON 2008 !!!

Why don't you communist get your own party? The Communist Party USA is already on your side, just change your party. Or we will. We will never side with you people. You are the very people that hate everything about this country.

MCCAIN/CLINTON 2008 !!!!

Unfairly attacks...but only the states that are 'white' seem to vote for her anyway.
What is their message? Is it old-fashioned (and uneducated) BIGOTRY, then?

True Democrats don't vote 4 republicans.

Be it Hillary or Obama, i'll vote for no war....

Go Hillary! Go Obama!

Democrats unite!

Bush n McCain = war

The "race issue" is certainly real. If BO were an inexperienced, rookie senator from Illinois ... and he were caucasian ... how much of a chance would he have had. None.

The fact of the matter is that race has worked to his (our) advantage. He is smart. He is intelligent. He has good ideas. He can take this country in a (sorely needed) new direction.

In an unfortunate way, I am glad that he had to be an unusual candidate to get the truly concerned people of this nation to speak up.

Obama, you've got my support ... now deliver.

Hillary was the victim of unfair attacks all along during this primary season.

To point her as a primary offender of that is just outrageous!

She was treated as a women who dares to compete for men's job by Obama campaign and media. As a women and a professional in men's driven corporate america I have a deep sympathy and understanding of what Hillary had to endure.
I am a democrat and i will have very hard time to convince myself to vote for Obama if he is a nominee.
