(CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama appears to be headed for a win in one of the final contests of the Democratic nomination race, according to a new poll of likely Democratic primary voters in Montana.
Obama’s support stands at 52 percent and Clinton’s is at 35 percent. Thirteen percent of those who participated in the survey were unsure who they preferred as the Democratic nominee.
The Mason-Dixon poll of 400 likely Democratic primary voters in Montana was conducted May 19-21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.
Montana and South Dakota will hold the last Democratic presidential primaries on June 3; sixteen pledged delegates are up for grabs in Montana’s primary and 15 in South Dakota.

GO OBAMA!!! Close the race for the nomination!
Well, let's all get ready for Hillary to say Montana doesn't count either.
There ya go Bill Clinton.
Foreget Montana and South Dakota.
They know that Hillary and Bill are day dreaming and out of touch.
McSame hasn't got the slightest chance against Obama, he is old,
sick and has nor ideas to correct Bush's failed politics!
Go Obama, you are the man of the hour.
If Hillary does not get the nomination – vote for McCain.
Don't write in Hillary's name if she's not on the ballot – it accomplishes nothing. Vote McCain and save America.
The highest-ranking leader in U.S. is Main Stream Media. Russian and Chineese ditto are MORE balanced.
The next ranking LEADER are the Obama-online-experts. Young college students, teachers, advertisers and other elitists. They are in possession of the same knowledge as Hezollah and they are using the same methods to belittle and humiliate Obamas opponents – Hillary Clinton in particular.
400 likely voters polled?? Wow, Obama has finally won the nomination. Make sure you "count the votes"!!!!
Hillary Clinton all the way to the White House!!!
Hillary '08
Smart people in Montana – my birth state!!
I believe that no matter who we are, we should always show ALL PRESIDENTS of the United States some respect. I as a black person believes that former President Bill Clinton deserves all of our respect, regardless of how he feels.
I will not vote in the 2008 general election. I no longer care.
Obama and Press Sec. Keith Olbermann = OO or OhOh to FIX(sly fox) news and the rest of the haters that tries to slant the true facts.
Help end this Big Sky state. McSame as George Bush is a joke. His own party doesn't even want him so why should we.
Navy Vet. for Obama08
Make my day every day with Keith (tell it like it is) Olbermann as Press Secretary
Go NAVY Go Obama
Just another nail in Hillary's coffin
Clearly nobody works hard in Montana! On to The White House!!!!
well,of course obama is leading
the people in montana ae intelligent,unlike some others.............
Obama for ever
when rest of montana and south dakota sees all of billarys lies and
corruption, they'll go for obama
wonderful
he will do good
god bless our usa and our troops
obama voter
grow up
give it up
Do you have current polls for Puerto Rico?
Of course, Montana is beautiful country. Go Montana!
FOR ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS -please quit trying to make a case to the HRC supporters as to why they would vote for McInsane over Obama. THEY WILL NOT. Trust me. As much as they hate Obama and his supporters they are not stupid enough to kill their children. They will go to vote in Nov. just as we will and that vote will be for Obama. Yes, Obama. Although you will still hate him you will not vote for your destruction.
Yeah! So very glad that there are still more reasonable thinking people not falling for the Clinton hype!
AN OHIO VOTER – This ain't OHIO! It's 'Bama country baby!
Barack Obama – all the way to the White House!!!
Obama '08
Would this be consider a knockout? It seems that every contest is consider big or important. This is getting ridiculous I know its close but every state is not important. People do know that all these states might not vote democrat in 08 right? Like Kentucky! lol.
Just hope most states do vote democrat in 08!
Way to Go Montana....Keep up the Good work....
They know what time it is in Montana. It's Obama time! Let's finally kick the Clintons out. We are tired of their lies and negative incitement of voters. Shame on them.
AN OHIO VOTER May 26th, 2008 2:49 pm ET
400 likely voters polled?? Wow, Obama has finally won the nomination. Make sure you "count the votes"!!!!
Hillary Clinton all the way to the White House!!!
Hillary '08
_____________________________________________________
At least he is closer to the nomination than Billary! just 49 delegates needed to clinch it!...IN YOUR FACE! bOOYAH!
Bill and Hillary playing the victim does not make a great case for leadership. Looking desperate and re-writing the rules late in the game is not making the case that Hillary should be in the White House. Bill's deranged behavior with so many irrational theories is pure blind ambition. Let's move on with a fair election.
another intelligent state!unlike kentucky,arkansas,and west virginia....they suck!
The Montana Standard published a Lee poll in yesterday's paper that also said McCain would beat Obama in the general. Montana will not vote Dem in the GE so the fact that he is winning in the primary means nothing. I know...I was born there and my family goes back to the 1800's in Montana. Except for a few blue spots, Montana is red. Also Obama is ahead in the Dem primary because they would never vote for a woman. While there are some progressives around, they still have an attitude that a woman's place is in the kitchen.
This primary is over. Hillary please give it up, you can't win.
Is this a surprise ........... S.D & Montana is Obama's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
An Ohio Voter, I know the whole 'polling process' might be a little hard for you to understand but usually when polls are conducted they don't go and ask every single voter in the state. It's usually done by choosing a small sample of the total population.
Ofcourse, you would have known this had you been to college like most Obama supporters.
Let me correct some of Hillary's arguments.
Her husband campaigned just like Mc Cain does in 1992. Not like hers ( cannot accept the defeat).
This primary teaches many things for us voters.
Hillary was ineveitable at the begining, so she took voters granted and said/ says what ever they think correct
Obama was relatively unkown to voters, but he has a good campaign that reach many people and include them. If the big states Hillary won before on super teusday are held today, Obama would win them.
Voters dont take people for granted ever
That is the lesson
An Ohio Voter,
Go ahead vote for McShame! You are as delusional as queen Hillary.
Obama 08/12 Anyone but Hillary or McShame
Way to to Montana. One thing a westerner can do is judge character. No buying into Slick Willey's stump speeches even if he makes them from the back of a pickup truck.
And maybe he'll win Montana in November, too.
HILLARY CLINTON '08
Seriously people Hillary cannot and will not win.........50 more delegates and its over! Sorry.................maybe later.
OBAMA 08/12
I truly would like to care, but I wish I knew who Senator Barack Obama is. When he first came on the scene, he sounded like he was Martin Luther King, then he started to sound like he was President John F. Kennedy. Speeches are good, but I believe it will not help, if the person is not "real". This is just my take with all due "respect". Talk is talk, but perseverance leads to victory and accomplishments.
Great for Senator Obama – that will be the one of the last primaries and the MI & FL issue will be settled by then. Then, the Democrats can go about the business of showing John McCain and the Republicans how to run a campaign and win an election. All you Republicans who will come onto the blog pretending to be Democrats – go ahead and hate it's your job!
Larger poll plz
Clinton's campaign is broke so the only thing the few staffers that are left have to do is post comments on blogs.
Hey Bill & Hillary rather than stirring up controversy go pay your bills. You have unpaid bills in every state and city you have campaigned in!
Good!
For all those who believe that Obama will not win, just give him the chance. As many of us Clinton original admirers have done, a good many of us will not vote for her in the General Elections. I think the respect she once commanded is eroding and will not translate into votes in the General Election, swing states not withstanding. It seems the opposite is taking place with Barack. More people are deciding to give him a chance. Hillary staying in the race is actually hurting her and helping him.
There is no excuse for the way this primary process has been covered by the media and manipulated by the DNC. I have certainly never seen anything like the bias portrayed in the media. The DNC allowed certain states to move their primary up; those states were the states in which they believed Obama would do well. Obama is the most negative candidate I can remember; he inspires such hatred and animosity that is just unbelievable (just read the comments on this site). His "strategy" is insidious hatred; first he makes a derogatory comment about one of the Clintons' benign statements, then he magnanimously states that he believes their explanation while his campaign continues to ensure negative press about the issue. The Michigan and Florida mess is certainly not his fault alone. The DNC messed it up then he brought his lawyers in to ensure there was no revote (which would have been within the DNC rules). Then, he stays above the fray and lets his staff and supporters ensure the hatred and animosity are continued. There is no excuse. Certainly, Obama did not do this alone; the media and the DNC have helped but the Clintons are less to blame for this mess than anyone else, yet they take the most fallout. All the people they have helped so much during their careers have not just turned against them, they have attacked with unprecedented viciousness. The Clintons have not destroyed the Democratic Party; Obama and the DNC destroyed and have ensured McCain will be our next President.
"Thirteen percent of those who participated in the survey were unsure who they preferred as the Democratic nominee"
The 13% does have gut to say I wont vote for Obama because he is black.
Awesome. Any polls for South Dakota???
WOMEN FOR OBAMA, 08
CNN MODERATORS: I find it fascinating and telling (on your part) at your refusal to post any of my comments that are pro-Obama. I wonder if the FCC would be interested in knowing the degree of your biasness of one candidate over another. As a media outlet, I was under the (mistaken, I would gather at this juncture) impression that you were to remain neutral, however this does not appear to be the case with you. I shall wait and see if this comment posts (and is not relegated to "moderation limbo") before I contact the FCC. I graciously thank you.
Senator Obama, I commend you, your advisors, your staff, but most especially your wife, Michelle, for having run an extremely well-organized, effiicient, and dignified campaign.
I read the article in which it had been articulated to your staff that there was to be NO DRAMA and for the most part you and your campaign have lived up to that credo magnificently (I'm well aware that you had to defend yourself against the ridiculous and sublime attacks) and I'm so very proud of that!!!
You have (and are gaining) so many more supporters out here than you can poissibly imagine. We're behind you 110% and wish you Godspeed!!!
NO DRAMA/OBAMA '08
Silly Hillary supporter the only way she can go all the way to the White House, is to lie and cheat. Oh wait she already did that and still she is behind, I know you are using Clinton Math, so I forgive you
Obama has already clinched the party Nomination unless the Clintons find some way to force the delegates to ignore the voters and vote for Hillary. Of course, that will be the end of the Democratic party forever and make McSame a sure bet to win the White House.
OHIO VOTER... lay off the crack pipe my friend. This one is over. Cue the fat lady...
Obama '08
In my opinion, Obama is an inexperienced handpicked junior senator, highly ambitious, selected to be the next president by the liberal democrats. All resources have been placed at his disposal, backed by several fund-raising orgs. ANYONE would have a difficult time running against him with this setup.
Although his bowling is lacking, he is throwing strikes non-stop when it comes to people for no plausible reason. Any one can say what people want to hear, promise anything.
It now seems that Montana and SD is going with the flow.
Take a second look....see Hillary and what she has to offer before choosing Obama, the unknown. Our country is at stake.
Obama will also win South Dakota and Puerto Rico.
Its funny, with all these polls being conducted, I don't once recall them asking for my opinion. Maybe its because I'm from Florida, so my voice doesn't count.
Hillary '08
Barack Obama may win the democratic nomination. But if I were a democrat, i would vote for Clinton simply because she can win in November in states like: Ohio, W Va, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Barack will not come close in at least 4 or 5 of those! McCain will win because democrats nominated a loser!
DEMS, PLEASE UNITE THE PARTY, WE SHOULD BE ON..dONT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. AND U MIGHT NOT MAKE IT IN THIS WORLD
Obama in 08!
He will lead us back to the White House!
I knew something wonderful was going on when I read his book.
400 May not be a lot. But the fact that the margin was that wide tells you something like it or not!
Obama 2008
Great a least Hillary will not win these 2 states like Bill pretended.
May be it's over Bill. Isn't it?
Cheers!! for Obama all the way to the White House. Yes We Can!
Obama "08'
WHY is Hillary still standing??? I dont get it. If she somehow gets the nomination you know for sure there's some shady business taking place. Its pathetic that she is still stading trying to be nominated when she has obviously lost. She's just causing harm to the party and giving McCain amunition. It's so appauling how power hungry she really is. Even when she has lost to the better candidate, she's still trying to go on...just so she can say later that she's a fighter! Pathetic! Its amazing how much the Clinton name is hurting the Democratic party this time around.
If Clinton won all 3 of the remaining primaries by 3 points, and got 85% of the remaining Super delgates, she would still be short of the number of total delegates left to clinch the nomination. Of course, PR doesn't vote in the general election, so they, according to the Clinton logic, don't really "count." Billyboy is crying about the vast (right or left?) wing conspiracy to keep HilBilly from winning. Is this the same vast right wing conspiracy that made up the entire lie about Monica? The same right wing conspiracy that HilBilly viscously attacked? Or the same "trailer trash" that "lied" about Billylboy's sexual escapades. Remember, Billyboy never won a majority of the popular vote in either election. By that standard, he never should have served as President.
Logic, facts, fairness, and anything else that stands in the way of the Clinton's getting what they want, and their ill informed, emotional supporters who act just like them, won't stop Obama-McCain in the general.
Lead?
Is Hillary not out yet? Wonders shall never end!!!
Well of course he does:)
The press calls Hillary's supporters poor and uneducated. Based on her 35 year history of complete lies, flip flops, Iraq war support, pandering, I would call you dumb and unsuccessful.
Instead of doing something to be better educated and more successful, you would rather vote for a mother figure to take care of you. Even though she is the most currupt, self serving, dishonest candidate since Nixon. Possibly even more corrupt than Tricky Dick.
CNN, I dare you take me out of moderation.
Clinton supporters WAKE UP!
Don't use the sexism card, don't use the victim card... Senator Clinton was a very good and competent candidate, but she lost to another very good and competent candidate. There was no sexism nor racism involved, save for some stupid isolated events that definitely were not determinative.
Let's all unite behind B. OBAMA to defeat Sen McCain who truly is continuation of G. Bush and sometimes even worse!
OBAMA + Democrats 08
YES WE CAN!!! GO Obama.
Just like Hillary . . . belittling those in smaller states. And for the record, "Ohio Voter", polls always use a small sample.
We get it, you don't like Obama and will vote for McCain instead, We get it.
I voted for Edwards in my Primary, now I will vote for Obama.
Just quit holding it over our heads and trying to threaten us and unify all Americans.
Hey, Barry. Did you see the article in NY Times on the great white Bordeaux? Do try them. People suffering in Cuba because of unrelenting cruelty of the Bush regime? WHO CARES?!? Other Democrats might, but not our boy Barry. He's got better friends than that, more interesting people with lots of degrees.
Barry knows what really counts – HE DOES. IT'S ALL ABOUT BARRY AND WHETHER HE WINS. He'll say ANYTHING to ANYONE, or when he's feeling particularly cowardly, have his "supporters" do it for him.
And good luck packing up and leaving Iraq- suddenly we'll hear about being responsible to "our boys," and not endangering them by (What's that you say, Bar?) "leaving too quickly."
Let's see, who can you dismiss in Montana. How about all those tribes? They don't vote, what difference would it make? They look like Cubans to you, Bar, but so does everyone else who's not listed on Dunn & Bradstreet.
If Billyboy keeps shooting off his mouth like he did today......Hillary won't get any votes!!!!! Which is fine by me. OBAMA2008
i guess he likes Montana and puerto rico more than kentucky and west Virginia at least he's making an effort there. but don't worry when he needs you he'll give you some of his precious time president for 48 states or 46 states if you count Florida and Michigan
Super-delegates: Look for the popular vote. That's what counts. Nothing about the caucuses means anything. People were bullied and coerced by Obama people. Go Puerto Rico big time for Hillary!!!! Happy Memorial Day, Vets!!!
Even if Hillary had another win, she still can not match Obama's Insermountable lead.
To bad so sad it's over, time to move on against McCain (Ie Bush 2.0)
Funny thing is... Hillary beats McCain in the GE according to most recent polls.
She is a REAL American and a TRUE Leader!
Hillary or McCain
I keep telling my American Democrat friends that they will have problems reuniting for the fall election (just read these CNN and other blogs). The Clintons' determination to fight to the very end (which Obama has said they have the right to) has, unfortunately, created a hugh rift in the party that I firmly believe cannot be healed to win the Presidency regardless of whether Clinton or Obama gets the Democrat nomination.
Both the Clinton and Obama faithful are too emotionally caught up in the Democrat primaries to objectively see what is in their best interests.
AND PLEASE NOTE: If Obama wins the primaries, the reuniting of the Democrat party after the primaries IS MORE DEPENDENT UPON HILLARY THAN BARACK. If she does not work very hard, I stress VERY HARD, to bring her followers over to Obama, the Democrat party will not reunite properly.
Isn't it ironic that the loser of the Democrat primaries ultimately controls whether the party wins the Presidency in the fall!!!!
Why can't Hilary win educated white voters? Well I mean other than older females and the uneducated.
And END this once and for all!!!
GOOD.... stupid hag Hillary still doesn't get it....
NO MORE CLINTONS.... EVER
Go Obama!
Hopefully you will choose a super VP and it won't be Hillary
Obama and fairminded Americans will take our country back from the right wing facists and the race baiting Clintons.
So What? Bill Clinton call this cover up politics. For them everthing is conspiracy. Obama won the nomination few months ago. It is a matter of acceptance. Just.
Sam
Way to go MT!!!! still not sure why 13% are undecided what kind of misspoken sound bite are they waiting for.
Democrats maybe tired of The Clintons but should realize they are the only dems who can win. As a republican i hope you guys nominate Obama!! He is another Dukakis!
400 hundred polled WOW he won by a landslide for the state. LOL
This sounds really good for Barack. I'm sure that had the polls been taken May 21-26 barack would be even further ahead with all of the mud slinging we've seen over these few days.
yeah...Obama 14%, Clinton 32%, Castro 50%.
Looks like Obama is strong in the western states, from Oregon and Washington to Colorado and Iowa.
As he said, he just might change that red-blue electoral map!
Especially since he also is now ahead of McCain in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, and has a good chance of winning the eastern seaboard states, from New England down through Virginia and even North Carolina.
How about Puerto Rico?
Clinton 52%
Obama 37%
Hillary better for November contest.
I guess Open Sky Country must have their heads in the sand, right? Must not be core hard working Americans there, right? Hillary needs landslide wins in every primary since April 1, right? Obama can't win the general election, right? Hillary's the underdog , right? Hillary has the popular vote, right? Conspiracy, right? Wright, right?
Come on.
Can Obama win the Democratic nomination and also win in November?? .........YES HE CAN!!!! Go Obama!!
Thank you Montana. Please give Obama a big victory and put to rest the Clinton "hard working Americans" tactics. We are all hard working and we vote for the candidate that has the best ideas and that candidate is Obama.
VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!
My question is...If Clinton had won the primaries back in February, like she intended, would she still care about the voters in states like Montana today? She wants all the votes to count because she has not won.
Obama 08
Clinton is ahead in the popular vote if:
You count Florida and Michigan
You dont count Obama's votes.
Keep fighting Bill!!
hillary must come out of the race now all she is doing is puting demoncratic again each other people have to realise this by now it all about her i think she rather mccain to win
It is amazing how Hillary supporters completely ignore the "words slipping off Hillary's lips" concerning "murder"! The woman is sick and desperate enough to commit to murder - she is actively soliciting for some weak-minded individual to do it for her.
Her apology was no apology - it was a cover up. I saw her face when she said the words (apology), but her heart really was not in the true meanings of the words!!!!!
"An Ohio Voter" - will you commit murder for her?
What a comment from an Ohio voter who got duped by that ridiculous "3 AM" phone call bit. You guys got too much snow up there to get snowed by Hillary the master of whiteouts.
Don't you guys realize that any President when he get a 3 AM phone call will not make any decisions there at that moment. Presidents have to discuss any issues with advisers, so no matter who gets that phone call it is a group of people that will eventually make the final decision. I feel Obama has surrounded himself with a very knowledgeable group of people that will be his advisers.
People need to really look at what the Obama machine is, it is full of very informed people. Hillary has got Bill and the lobbyist, we do not need that. Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky voters need to get educated on what each campaign has to offer. Don't vote just because Hillary is a woman or you are prejudice against blacks. I thought Americans were beyond that, here in Hawaii we are all equal and little prejudice exists.
Aloha,
Don in Kona
OF COURSE! MONTANA IS ABOUT 100% WHITE !
Thats FABULOUS NEWS, but I think she has something funny up her PANT SUIT, which she will pull out a day or 2 before the Montana primary, like she always does, watch for it!!!!
BARACK / SEBELIUS 08
BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!
The nomination is mathematically out of Clinton's reach. I wish FL and MI can be re-run, And if that happens, Obama will certainly win MI and Clinton wins FL and the race will end.
even though i'm a clinton supporter, it's beginning to look like she will not win the primaries. With that being said....go Obama! Anybody but McCain. good fight Hill, maybe next time
Demorcats
08'
Shame on you CNN... never posting by comments. You must not like my truthful comments about how this election was setup and stolen from Hillary and the people.
Hillary is a TRUE American and a TRUE Leader... God Bless her.
McCain '08 for Clinton '12
Obama, well – NEVER!!!
Bill is at this point completely politically tone deaf.
A good lesson in all of this is that your family (with the exception of hillary clinton when she was advising bill and we all know why) do not make for good political advisors. Emotion is clouding his judgement.
Either that or he is secretly in the can for Barack.
Sd's end this charade. PLEASE
And BTW the notion that some guy with a funny sounding name who looks nothing like what the majority thinks a president should look like would beat out one of the 3 real political dynasties in this country based on nepotism and favoritism from the MSM and the "they" as clinton calls them is completely absurd.
The only way to do what BHO is about to accomplish given who he is is by sheer political talent and genius. And the only reason why this thing is not over is because of the Clinton power and influence.
I sincerely wished Senator Obama well in Montana; however, I am support Senator Clinton. If Senator Obama receives the nomination, he will certainly lose in the general election against Senator McCain. West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida and Kentucky have certainly sent a loud message throughout America that Senator Obama is not the stronger candidate to win. Yet, Senator Obama is determined to become the Democratic Presidental Candidate. As a man proclaiming equality, I wish him well; however, in the general election, Senator McCain will receive the election on a silver plate.
We do not have to vote for Obama, we will not vote for Obama, we are the base of the party, let's see him get it without us.
One of the disrepected old white women
I immigrated to this country just four years ago and sometime last year I just couldn't understand why anybody could hate the Clintons untill now. No rule stands if they're losing, and yet they still have a crowd so deficient in arithmetics that they've adopted the untested constantly wavering Clintons quantitative formula. I've never seen anything like this in the developed worlds.
The Clintons were really in a hurry to loose my respect for them.
while florida and michigon voters are being punished for violation of election rules why sen clinton is not disquilified for keeping her name on the ballet paper
Elisabeth,
We the Obama supporters are not elitist.....sorry to be rude but we just think independently and with the facts in mind not just on someone who we are familiar with. I am a black female who works and I am voting for Obama not because of his race because of policies and ability!
Hillary has scaled down her negative comments, but Bill is still as of today talking about a Cover Up-the nominee will be pick by June 3, next week. If Obama wins why is he telling people today he can't win the general election; if he becomes the nominee than in a matter of a few days he has to endorse him and campaigne for him for the general election. It is best that he pushes Hillary's issues and stop saying how Obama can't win. If he really believe that which I do think he does, how is one to believe him getting behind Obama if he becomes the nominee.
Obama will be our next President. I know CNN don't like this, but I would like to see them post this.
This is not a very comprehensive survey. Who did this poll anyway? Pretty shoddy reporting .... just another example of CNN delivering entertainment as if it were 'news'.
Nevertheless, I think Hillary is just more of the same old 'politics as usual', and on this level, she is no different from McCain. She is far too entrenched in the established order of American politics for me.
It really is time for a change in the USA and Obama offers at least a little promise of this.
Hey Fellas Americans, wake up before it.s too late !!!!!.
If you want Lies, promess in the wind, poverty, the lobbiest, Rich becoming more rich and poor goind down, wars actionned around the world withour reflexion, vote the Clintons Dynasty..
If you want peace, opportunities for everyone, American prestige, jobs logic healthcare, etc.. Then Vote for the best:
BARAK OBAMA, the trustee man, the President Messiah...Since JFK
Jimmy, Phd – Finances.
I'll be so glad when this is all over with. I never seen anything like this in my life. Hillary need to stop being so hateful. Thats why it is not going in her favor.
I just spoke with Chris Driscoll, the media director for the Nader campaign, to discuss the results from my California poll that had Nader at 5%.

Quinnipiac Has Obama Behind McCain in PA, OH
... but Clinton leads in those states.
5/22/08
Here is how the matchups would go:
* Hillary Clinton – 310
* John McCain – 211
* Barack Obama – 248
* John McCain – 290
Hillary or BUST!!!
How many people do you think live in Montana? Every poll is a very small sample of voters. Ive never been "polled" here in Virginia. Even in states like New York and California they only poll a thousand or so people. So given the logic of AN OHIO VOTER, Hillary should have won on Feb 5th, or March 4th, or April 22nd. She lost... I mean how many ways can you say it? You cant count Florida and Michigan as is and claim that was a fair election based off of name recognition only. You would also upset the thousands of people who didnt vote because they were told their votes wouldnt count. You have to give Obama delegates from Michigan or you would upset the people who wanted to vote for him. Split the delegates 50/50 move on to the General Election
Democrats United
Obama/Biden '08.
Obama supporters (of which I am one) should definitely stop attacking Senator Clinton. At this point, Obama will definitely get the nomination–that is not hubris, it simply logic–and the work now should be to unite the party, not to alienate her supporters.
I honestly wish that McCain puts a woman on his ticket. So, that decent woman makes history as the first female vice-president, one step to become president; meanwhile, Hillary is in the trash can of History. The word is that if Hillary is not on the democratic ticket McCain is gonna put a woman to woo all those feminazis to his camp. Bingo!!!! Another woman is gonna make history. As a female myself, I'm not against of women in high positions of power, but Hillary is another story. She is just a monster.
good news, Another state (Montana) has been won by Obama, since CNN has maintained a 99% on their projections, that haven't been so wrong, and I was wondering, was it Bill Clinton speaking on that rad truck today about unfairness to Hill, I am very disappointed in him, He better keeps shut or loses his hard-earned respect, talking about Hillary and presidency.
Obama, well done, 2 more states to go.
"Vote McCain and save America." Oxymoron. Seriously, have you looked at both Clinton's and Obama's policies? Very little difference. I'm guessing the reason it's either Clinton or McCain is the closet racism. And yeah, I said it. I'm 32, white, and know racism when I see it.
I sincerely wish Senator Obama well in Montana; however, I am a supporter of Senator Clinton. If Senator Obama receives the nomination, he will certainly lose in the general election against Senator McCain. West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida and Kentucky have certainly sent a loud message throughout America that Senator Obama is not the stronger candidate to win. Yet Senator Obama is determined to become the Democractic Presidental Candidate. As a man proclaiming equality, I wish him well. However, in the general election, Senator McCain will become victorious.
The most fascinating fact about this poll is that just 20 something % of the people in Montana has and favorable opinion of Hillary. How many has an unfavorable opinion? You guessed, more than 50%.
I hope by November Americans will get sobber and elect person with knowledge and experience to lead Country in these difficult times.
All this Democratic Primary was total disaster : cauces, supper delegates being bullied and pressure , DNC choosing nominee, and irresponsible -bias media, Florida/Michigan votes oh my God to much to swallow.
Fidel Castro and Muslim world is just waiting for Barak Obama to be elected, but joy may be premature.
Not really surprising... look at the delegate map. Obama has taken just about everything from the Midwest to the Northwest. I'm sure the numbers in South Dakota are similar.
FOOLS for HILLARY...keep repeating..MONTANA DOES NOT COUNT..MONTANA DOES NOT COUNT..MONTANA-
and now we get hear more crying and whining from LOSER CLINTON.... she's a victim of the media... oh BOO HOO....
Democrats nationally picked OBAMA, you stupid HAG..... GET IT YET?
The media practice SEXISM and the primary system is UNFAIR and the DNC omitted Florida and Michigan... OH BOO HOO BOO HOO......
YOU LOST, YOU DUMB HAG.... SHUT UP AND GO AWAY
Again...polls only matter if they support HRC. Just like only big states matter; swing states only matter if they are the ones HRC has won and winning 7 of the last 11 contests is more important than winning 33 out of 45 total contests. The delegates don't matter and now, neither do the superdelegates.
This poll only polled 400 voters whereas others polled even less, so this can't matter either because the people polled accidently said they supported Obama and not HRC.
How many states has Obama won with "landslide" percentages? Why does the Clinton campaign insist that because she's won some states with large margins that it proves something? It doesn't.
Obama will win Montana and South Dakota. Probably with large margins. Yet somehow, the Clintons will find some other bizarre metric to be "the winner".
I tell you what, Hillary... why don't you and Bill go run for office in the state of denial? You can fight it out about who will be on top.
It would be interested to know who conducted these polls. I worked for a political party for 8 years and know polls can be directed in favor of one candidate over another. If CNN did these polls, they are for Obama 100%.
No rational voter would sign on to a radical left wing extremist as Obama. Twenty years with a Black Liberation Theology Church teachings can not be erased. He is a socialist/Marxist. He will destroy the USA.
For those who think Obama cannot win big states in november.
Texas, California, Ohio, pennsylvania, New York (obama has more votes than McCain)
Please check the # of votes Obama vs McCain or Democrats Vs Republicans.
Also remeber that in november there is only one candiddate representing Democratic party.
And about rules
Clintons were in power for 8 years and she touts that she had 35 years of experience. It looks like they got 35 years to understand the voting system of the party.
That implies they need 35 years to understand how to govern???????
Can we write in any language on this blog or is it limited to just two?We have people from many countries here not just two.
He also leads in the popular vote, unpleadged delegates, super delegates, states won, morals, ethics, intelligence, honesty, and every other important metric one could think of.
To Pat Va:
You are experiencing the same frustration that I have had where any pro-Obama comments I have made have not been included in a CNN blog. I think that most Clinton supporters would be surprised to learn how much filtering CNN does against pro-Obama bloggers. After all, Wolf had a pro-Clinton supporter and a Republican on CNN yesterday to debate comments made by Obama......CNN Controversial News Network
IT'S OFFICIAL: OBAMA IS THE "MCGOVERN CANDIDATE"
FIRST CRACKS BEGIN TO APPEAR IN THE DEMOCRATS' BASE
AS USUAL, MAINSTREAM MEDIA DISCOUNT AND FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF HOSTILITY TO OBAMA
ANDY PROPOSES THAT DEMOCRATS MOVE THEIR CONVENTION TO SAN FRANCISCO; ARUGULA ANYONE?
NEW YORK)(May 8, 2008) Well, it's official. Barry
Obama has been endorsed as the McGovern Democrat" for president. Hillary Clinton should be celebrating, though I doubt it has dawned on her yet she just won a round without realizing it.
George McGovern was one of the most decent men to ever serve in public life or in the U. S. Senate. He served bravely in World War II. He represented a rural state and was reelected by conservative voters. And he was a nice guy. But he was a lousy national candidate who led the Democrats to one of their worse drubbings in history. In the midst of or closing days of (take your choice; sound familiar?) an unpopular war he managed to lead Democrats to one of their biggest defeats in history. The more things change
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I am beginning to smell a breath of fresh air. And, anxiously awaiting the rainbow.
Bye-bye...Clinton Clan. Bye, bye!
It's funny.... depending upon the nature of the article, I see folks saying CNN is the Clinton Network News or that CNN won't post anything that is FOR Obama or that they don't post Pro-McCain comments.
It can't be all three, can it?
I am an Obama supporter. I've had posts on CNN and sometimes, my posts don't show up. I don't think it has anything to do with the slant of your post, nor always the vehemence of your statements (lord knows there are plenty haters who post here).
It is more likely that given the nature of the internet and web apps that your post fell into the cracks between when posts are accepted and approved by moderators. Some topics fill up quickly; some don't get much traffic.
I believe Obama will win both Montana and S. Dakota. I can't wait to hear what the Clinton argument will be then.
People are still unsure who they should vote for this late in the game?
The superdelegates are still unsure. What is wrong with these people?
Polls can and have been wrong in this election campaign. Obama has no chance against McCain, so vote for Hillary!
Poor Bill. Him and his little tyrant are taking on water and he doesn't know how to hadle it. There always comes a time when you lose so Billary , suck it up and finally realize that you are not invincible or have a divine right of succession to the Ivory tower. I'm from a small community in Newfoundland , Canada and I'm totally fascinated with the process of trying to elect a president. It just blows my mind the waste of time and money. Go Obama
Have your fun now Obama supporters, because he will lose the general election if he's the nominee.
Anyone who buys into Hillary Clinton's protestations of innocence over her use of Robert Kennedy's death is either sadly deluded are purposefully protesting ignorance of reality. There is NO WAY a lawyer as shrewd as she is didn't make this allusion purposefully and with malice aforethought.
I once was willing to cede her the VP spot: No more. Her kind of slash and burn politics is the last thing this country needs to reward.
Unfortunately, she has pulled what should have been a huge step forward for women's rights down with her.
2 those that think that i will vote 4 obama in nov. u'r wrong. i'm a hillary supporter and that is not going to change, i might vote 4 mccain r not vote @ all, but not 4 obama. believe it cuz that's just the way it is. post this......
To Farell and Wayne,
you two should be ashamed....LOL!
I just say get Michigan and Florida seated and lets move the Obama nomination forward.....Obama 2008!
Bill Clinton is saying that there is a " cover up " and that a large win in Montana will force the superdelegates to reconsider . The two of them are so desperate , I hope Montana will put them out of their misery .
Obama 08 !!!
Yes We Can !!!
Bill said " 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.' " BILL !! THE TRUTH IS IF SOME HOW SHE COULD OVER RIDE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND TAKE IT WAY FROM OBAMA YOU CAN BET SHE WONT WIN A DAME THING !!!!!!! WITHOUT US SHE CANNOT WIN A NONTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE HAS BEEN BET AND IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND TAKE YOURE WIFE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tj, we will remember you when he wins!
GO! OBAMA!
can't wait till the delegate count goes up to 2210. than neither candidate will have the #. then let's talk electability. hillary wins swing states, she will be ahead in the popular vote, and she is ahead of mccain on the electoral map, obama is behind mccain. hillary can beat mccain, obama can't. obama can't even beat hillary!
The most rewarding thing about this primary season is having trashed her majesty's dream, I mean, Hillary's dream, of becoming president in 2008. Without nomination there is no general election
To me that the prize. No letting the Clinton monarchy get its dirty hands on the throne. Down with the Monarchy!!! Down with the Disnaty!!! Down with the Bushes!!! Down with the Clintons!!!
Something is for sure: For the first time since 1980 neither a Clinton nor a Bush will be on a presidential ticket. Oh beutiful!!
1:31 MDT It will be such a relief when this nomination is over and Obama can get down to exposing McCain for what he is – a Bush in Cindy's clothing. If I thought there would be 4 more Bush-like years I'd have to start taking all these medicines advertised on the news networks (the side affects just might be more pleasant!).
Behind every successful man-there is a good woman! Thanks Michelle for making Barack the man he is today. U go girl!
A new Survey USA poll shows Obama leading Mcsame in OH, FL, PA and VA. It looks good for Obama at the moment. But we're still a long away.
Obama won't lose general election if he's nominee because We The People, we has waken up.
America deserves Obama, someone in control of his ego.
Hillary and McCain are the same thing: selfish republicans.
This time, We The People won't be cheated again.
People of Montana know well enough of Monica L......to claim others want this and that is like pretending ML never happened!..Stop making specualtive claims which is contributing to HRC's downfall!!
When I hear Democrats saying they will rather vote McCain than Obama (if he gets the nomination) , I think ..... SO WHAT ?
Good Millions other do not think like you
OBAMA 08
Ok, can we all just stop destroying each other. Are we all that so caught up with this, insulting one another, saying how much we despise eachother, saying we'd rather vote republican, just because our person wasnt the nominee. Are we really gonna let McCain just take the white house? Face it we're not that different, Hilary and Obama, are so alike on so many issues, issues that are so crucial at this moment. Issues McCain obviously disregards. We need to stop the fighting and bickering, and unite under whomever the nominee is. Obama, or by some chance Clinton, we need to change this country, and that wont happen if you go voting republican come november. You want to change and help the country nows your chance. Just stop the fighting and realize we all have a common goal. And thats that a democrat takes back the white house.
Its about Bill C, talks too much in his retired days!
We need the president who loves America and keeps America at the top. I doubt Obama can do that.
People,if Hussein Obama is the nominee,all we have to do is vote for McCain so Hillary can run again in the next 4 yrs.
Vote Hillary or McCain only folk! No Hussein Obama period.
Obama can't win white people but can win CT, Clintonistas should move to Cuba.
LOL obama will win in novemeber, hell the GOP is afraid already because that other idiot is running libertarian... which is pretty bad considering hes a un-liberal running the liberal ticket
If hilary gets her head out of the clouds and starts focusing on getting a democrat back in office instead of being self centered and only careing about herself then the dem's can go all the way back to the whitehouse.
Obama & Anyone but clinton in 08
(Come on guys, let me out of moderation. All I'm doing is explaining why BO will win MO and SD. Which is what you should be doing, and aren't.)
Obama has every chance of beating McBush in November. I recommend folks visit the real clear politics Web site from time to time to see evidence of this for themselves. Obama will be the next U.S. President and not a minute too soon!!
Obama/Sebelius!!
Jake: so ... McGovern shouldnt have supported anyone? give me a break in the end the party has to all align behind one candidate or another... so saying that the support of Superdelegate A. is bad is bullcrap especially this late in the game now that all of the delegates are just pretty much settling in and trying to end it.
On April 7, 2006, I was in the courtroom of Judge Aurelio Munoz in Los Angeles. David Kendall, counsel for Hillary Clinton, turned in a declaration to the court that is nothing short of a work of fiction. Munoz said: I will entertain no motion that prevents Senator Clinton from testifying in this case..........did you hear that, Mr. Kendall? Well, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but the time is coming closer.
A few months ago, Peter Paul submitted to a polygraph examination to answer a few questions about the business relationship with and promises from Bill Clinton. Clinton induced Paul to become Hillary's largest donor, the largest donor ever to a Senate campaign, with the promise that he would come aboard Stan Lee Media when he left the White House. Hillary, of course, was in the middle of it all.
Pursuant to the experienced polygraph examiner, Peter answered the questions truthfully. When Hillary swore under oath that she knew nothing of the business arrangement, she was lying. She has tended to do that when she is under oath.
Chelsea Clinton was witness to the arrangement and told witnessess at Barbra Streisand's home on Aug. 13, 2000 that the family stayed up late after the Aug. 12 Gala playing Scrabble and discussing how excited they were that dad was going to work for the man who created Spider Man (Stan Lee). Hillary has set up her own daughter to have to lie for her to protect her political future.
A trial date will be announced on Feb. 21 at the status conference in Paul v Clinton. She is expected to be under oath during the summer congressional recess. The hope is that the civil case will finally expose the campaign finance fraud.
HILLARY NEEDS TO GO HOME , GET OUT OF THE RACE , ITS OVER.. WE DONT TRUST HER OR BILL , NOW SHE WANTS TO BE VP. .. THAT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE , PLUS BILL CLINTON ALWAYS LOOKING OVER OBAMA'S SHOULDER ...THE CLINTONS WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN ,.. BUT, FIRST THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH.. WE , THE PEOPLE.... AND WE WANT BARACK OBAMA ...
.
GO OBAMA GO , ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE , WE HAVE HAVE YOUR BACK...... YES WE CAN......YES WE CAN..
Clinton and her supporters need to just go away...FADE OUT. Why divide to party more when you all know the final outcome. Hillary go away and take your haters with you...we don't need this.
DEOCRATS FOR OBAMA.
OBAMA 08'
Smart voters in Montana
If Hillary is not on the ticket VOTE FOR McCAIN!!! Save yourself and America and then vote for Hillary 2012! Obama has had his 15 minutes of fame, in 7 months he will be forgotten. Obama supporters/brainwashees sorry about your luck...
Good job Obama.
I think Hussein Obama will be the next Mondale,George McGovern and Dukakis. Goodbye Hussein Obama.
Vote Hillary or McCain only folk!
YES!
Ha,ha,ha,aaaaaaaaaah! Happy I am on the best team!
Come on Montana and South Dakota– Give Bam a big one!
It's funny to watch the Clinton Meltdown!!! It's great to watch the Clinton Machine start to break down and lean and ---how nasty many of her staffs are nasty and mean! No wonder she acts like she has no feelings!
Way to go Bam!!!
Hillary and Bill belongs to an old energy. They are dinousaur.
America deserves a new air.
America deserves the integrity of those in power.
America deserves Obama!
GO, Obama GO!
As far as I`m concerned the continuation of this race is just a beauty contest for its so obvious that OBAMA is going to be the democratic nominee, and yes he will beat MCCain with his own shoe.
OBAMA:)
You know that comment by Bill Clinton regarding some sort of 'Cover up' against his wife does not even deserve to come out of the thoughts of illiterates let alone someone who graduated from Yale Law School, was Governor of Arkansas (granted it may have been just Arkansas) and most importantly headed the developed world for 8yrs (George W Bush also did that anyway). But still this is so third world way of thinking and speaking. Bill I'm lost for words........ b'cos moron, stupid idiot, backward, loser etc don't even describe you.
Forget the polls--forget the delegates and super delegates--this is going to be a 3 way race with Hillary as an Independent. Yes, Obamaniacs, read it and weep. The latest Collup poll shows a 3 way race as follows:
Clinton 36%
McCain 30%
Obama 26%
Undec. 8%
Go Hillary!!!!!
OBAMA ALL THE WAY, SAVE THE COUNTRY, SAVE THE WORLD
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA
Glad to see polls showing Obama will win the last two contests. Montana (and South Dakota) are states with mostly white voters. I wonder what negative story the media will find to sully his triumph?
I am of the mind to keep a more measured optimism. I say wait until the votes are counted before declaring winners.
To those who say vote Republican if your candidate does not win, I say be careful what you wish for. Vote policy not just the person. The last 7 years have not been a dream the relatively healthy America previous generations left behind is crumbling and if you are true patriots, you will vote for the policy you believe will bring about the best life for all not just vote for your favourite candidates.
America has another chance to make amends, the question to ask is will they take it, other empires did not and you should ask yourself where they are today.
tj He won't lose in November,because Hillary will not be out of the race yet, she will still be campaigning!!! SHE CAN'T STOP!!!!!!!
For the Clinton supporters saying Obama has no chance in November please take a look at the latest Zogby national poll which has Obama up by 10% over McCain in a 4 way race (including Barr & Nader.)
Bill Clinton is right,about the way Hillary has been handled. President Bill Clinton,I think it is time to organise the millions of Hillary supporters to let them know that Hillary can win this election as an independent Democrat.The way things are going,Hillary has the right to contest as an Independent Democrat.Go Hillary.It is important.Otherwise we are in the same status quo of the last eight years.It is enough.I don't know what change Obama is talking about! Moderators make sure this printed.
Montana doesn't count–stupid, useless state.
Go Hillary 08
The USA Obama supporters are going to be stuffing their heads down their toilets when all hell breaks loose with McCain and him. Barack is going to be squashed like a bug–a big black bug!!!!!
I think it's funny how all you people say he will lose against McCain when almost every single pole that puts Obama against McCain and Clinton against McCain shows Obama winning by a much larger margin...typical Clinton supporters, trying to say anything you can even though you know it's over!
Obama '08 !
Let's GO!
Hillary and Bill are so desperate. Their supporters are feeling it too. And desperation brings out the WORST in us. There is way too much ugliness especially since policy differences are only slight. If we all could just be more grown up about this, it would not be so difficult to honor the eventual nominee and ultimately unite the party.
All this talk about voting for McCain if Hilary is not the candidate is really showing a lack of thought. It is coming from a much lower place. It shows the same spoiled behavior desperate candidates demonstrate. It is not coming from the better parts of our being. Do we really want to sacrifice more of our neighbors children just to avoid having Mr. Obama take office? Search your heart. Search your MIND!
It is a hard pill to swallow for the Clintons that the whole democratic nation was pro CLINTON at one time. But since their individual character's have shown through to be less than admirable, how could it be helped that so many would see BHO as a more suitable candidate?
He's not perfect, and he is no MESSIAH. but he is a decent man who walks his talk with honor.
The Clinton's service to the country is admirable too, but that does not mean that thy are justified in their sense of entitlement.
On another note, I am so pleased to see that their are so many people who are looking beyond race (in spite of the media). Racism is so stupid. It is truly a shame that there is still so much of it. But happily, ones race (and gender for that matter) are less problematic than character.
If only the MEDIA would learn this great lesson too.
52% Obama to 35% HillBilly
Must be all those Black people in skewing the numbers, eh pundits? Or...I know, it's the fact that no hard working White people live Montana...yeah that's it.
Tick tock Hillary
The unsure are limbaugh brats...there in every state. Obama will prevail and WILL win the GE in November.
Some of you Limbaugh Brats and truely out of touch. McCain will not win the GE....he offers this country nothing new...just 4 more years of Bush draining our pockets.
To Hillary supporters: if you want that to continue and to lose what little you have left....please by all means vote McCain.......after all it is a free country.
Cheney visits Saudi Arabia................Gas price rises
Bush visits Saudi Arabia....................Gas prices rise again
anyone else see a "pocket book" relationship there?
McGovern endorsed Obama. If Democrats ever doubted where Obama was going to lead them, now they know. Obama has received McGovern's endorsement. Bill Clinton's genius was that he managed to neutralize the Democratic Party's left-wing loonies while appearing "moderate" to mainstream voters. Increasingly as Obama acts as "The Candidate," he is going to unleash the left-wing in an uncontrollable "Days of Rage" (sound familiar?) for their marginalization under the Clintons.
It is time for all Democrats to unite and keep bringing in Republicans. If Democrats do not unite completely, it will be hard for Republicans to unite with Democrats.
I know losing an election is hard on you Jacksonian Democrats. Please remember we've all been there together before since Al Gore. Let us all consider the far greater losses we will endure as a country if McCain goes into office.
I am Republican converted to Obamacan because he's a uniter like Lincoln. Obama has the courage of JFK, the New Deal policies of FDR, and he's a tough foreign diplomat like Reagan.
God Bless the wonderful people in the great State of Montan. Please don't buy into the pitty party Bill and Hillary are throwing.
Our nation can't wait to go forward any longer. We must bring our troups home, creaate jobs, lower gas prices and the strenthen the economy. We need integrity and honesty back in the White House.
Make your votes count. Vote for Barack Obama.
YES WE CAN WHEN WE UNITE.
Can any one tell me please - if winner in Montana and South Dakota take all the delegates instead of proportion. Thank you
13% are undecided!!!????
I guess it's still "early" in the primary process....
my advice you can get splinters from sitting on the fence for such a long time!
My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. For shame!
Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement - your time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. The simple and relevant truth is……. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time.
McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him. He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.
For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.
we all know obama is (going to be) the nominee. so i don't understand what the debate is all about. let the general election come! he will come out victorious! sure!
So what percentage of voters in Motana are registered Democrats? How many are independents/non-partisan? And how many Republicans? I suspect Dems are a minority. Also, are the majority of the Democrats in Montana independently wealthy rich folks from 'blue' states who've bought a bit of acreage to get away from the big city? I know that's been a trend lately.
PS: I keep seeing comments saying no one will give reasons why they'd vote McCain or write in Hillary over Obama. I've tried to submit mine (as a non-party affiliated voter), but CNN has not posted them. The gist is–I distrust the unreasoning hate-filled left wing (Obama’s loudest and staunchest support) as much as I do the unreasoning hate-filled right wing.
I had a huge amount of respect for Bill Clinton while and after he was President. That respect has rapidly evaporated since he has launched this maniacal, obsessed with power, charade to have Mrs. Clinton elected. And after his wild tirade in Montana, all that respect has has gone. VERY SAD.
Remember, it was OBAMA who was the gross underdog to Clinton. He was bold to even dare to compete. Having having proved the pundits wrong already and dealt with everything thrown at him by the Clintons , he will now prove that he can even more easily win the Presidency, we all want him to win, over McBush
everybody goinig to see obama win the nomination but what about mcain in the general election. I'm a 15 year old teenager in toronto,cananda and i even know that obama is going to get romped.if clinton doesnt win the nomination, he has to make hillary VP or know one will vote for him.all he's got are snotty rich people[not you Bill] and the african vote.hillary's got white women,white men,old people,the hispanic vote and the ever coveted blue coller worker.mcain is able to win every single one of those groups.
dont worry ,we have crappy candidatesover here
to.that's why I'm a future Idependent
Go lou
MONTANA IS JUST BEAUTIFUL, & SOME OF THE SMARTEST
PEOPLE IN THIS GREAT NATION. MAKES SENSE OBAMA
WOULD BE THEIR CHOICE.
My first point: For all of you turncoat idiots that would like to vote for McCain, then go on! You will get the same thing that you've had for the past 8 years and if you think it is going better think again. Barack Obama hopefully will win the last 3 races of this primary season and then the true Dems can start to work on getting him elected to be the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, regardles of Race, Creed, Gender or Religion. The Clintons are out there: It is like they both have gone MAD!
Forget Montana-–they don't have enough votes to elect a dog catcher– Obama better pay attention to us in Florida-–we sent Gore packing and we can do the same to him--I say count our votes now and count all of them-otherwise you get nothing in November-
listen to us Barack-forewarned is forearmed.
TJ–you of little intelligence: WHY on earth do you think Obama would loose the general election? RUBBISH. Pure D rubbish. BARAK is a maverick and WILL win big in NOV. I feel sorry for you and the pity [party you will throw the day after the election. For my part, I will not be a work, but will be dancing in the streets and drinking champagne!!
Who care these polls now, when super delegates behave like supreme court 2000
MSNBC behave like Katharine Harris
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08
i'm canadian so your election is none of my business.i have friends from florida and many friends who came here during viet nam war. some things they were saying #1hillary clinton had the nerve to call americans misogynists my goodness who could be more misogynistic than her husband.#2why was rev wright played over and over and over on cnn and nothing was ever shown of the event ed rendell had honoring louis farrakhan and all the glowing remarks he made about him so hillary could repudiate,denounce,reject rendell's support.#3 they say they all know why barack obama didn't campaign in west virginia.it would be too dangerous.also from me i love americans.p.s. we have a factory up here in quebec that recycles our garbage into ethanol.
Thank you in advance Montana and South Dakota.
Can Obama win Montana in the general election? It's known as the Treasure State and has been solidly Republcan. Bill Clinton won Montana in 1992 but lost it to Bob Dole in 1996. George W. Bush won in 2000 and 2004. It has 3 electoral votes. His best bets are probably in Missoula and Bozeman, home to the University of Montana and Montana State University. .
Vote McCain and save America? Save America from what, more GOP, Bush incompetence? The worst President in the history of our country and we need to continue those blunderheaded policies? Unbelievable.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!
WITH HILLARY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF NOT HILLARY< VOTE McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is great news! I hope the poll holds true!
Obama 08
Come on Montana 13% undecided. Vote for Obama and let the general begin! A vote for Clinton is a vote for McCain at this point. Vote with your head.
Godspeed President Obama. To all the troops: THANK YOU FOR SERVING, WE REMEMBER!
Hillary is not the problem! The SUPERDELEGATES are the problem! They are as weak as carbonic acid! They cannot take the obvious decision to get Hillary out! She continues to change the rules to satisfy her own narrow interest as the SUPERDERANGED democrats are reduced to mere spectators!
Obama and his supporters must calm down – They need Hillary's votes. I think Canadians should try to clean up their Quebec mess and stop talking about US elections.
DR.
how on earth can u say obama has no chance against maccain,so people should vote maccain?
if obama has no chance against maccain ands he is till beating hillary in any way possible.
doesnt that mean hillary is weaker than the inmate running for president??
you guys never cease to amaze me with ur dumb comments
If Obama gets the Dem Nomination:
All of the uneduacated simple white Democrats that you, Howard Dean took for granted, will be voting for John McCain for President.
So chalk up another loss for Deans Dozen. I would rather die than vote for Obama. All of my Democrat friends say the same. In reality I am glad, because Dean you turned your back on us, shoved Obama down our throats, now we're throwing up.
Seems like you old school Dems, Dean, Kennedy, Dodd, Kerry really pissed us off this time. You turned your back on the Democrat's most viable candidate, Hillary. Now we are going to return the favor. I am going to turn my back on YOUR CHOICE Howard Dean, and will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.
At least I know McCain is a patriot, has pride, and shows and has shown his loyalty to his country. Therefore I will vote for McCain with a smile on my face.
Here's a great Obama Administration:
Pres – Obama
VP – Kathleen Sebelius
AG – John Edwards
Sec State – Bill Richardson
Sec Defense – Jim Webb
that's great! Obama carries MORE STATES and I'm very happy to see that such diverse populations in the U.S. have come together.
must all the republicans urge the clinton supporters to vote McCain if Obama isn't elected? We're uneducated, but not stupid.
To all you HRC supporters who keep posting that Obama will lose the GE, and you are so SURE that she will win it? Based on what? My God, the incredible arrogance of the Clintonistas! Your "inevitable" candidate cannot even win the fricking primary contests! Oh, go ahead and count the bogus votes in FL and MI, it doesn't matter. And, ole Billy, out there today pontificating that ALL you Democrats are picking the wrong candidate. His ego knows no bounds. "It should be mine, mine, MINE, I tell you! Oh, uh, I mean, Hillary's ...."
Obama '08!
Montana
Please support Hillary Clinton for the right reasons........
More experienced
For ALL the people
A Fighter
She does not slam the American people
Hillary 08
Clinton supporters saying 'all the way to the White House.' Education department should imporve math education in school systems.LOL
must all the republicans urge the clinton supporters to vote McCain if Clinton isn't elected? We're uneducated, but not stupid. We aren't voting for your candidate out of spite, sorry. Spite is your republican emotion, keep it on your side of the aisle.
Congrats on your lead!!! Time to kick Billary and her Clan to the streets where she and they belong...Bye Bye Billary! Bye Bye. Good luck on the 31st Billary..you WONT be getting what you asked for because...wait for it....YOU CHEATED!!! Wait for her to move the goal post again...along with your other half Bill!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, if Obama wins the Dem Nomination........................I wonder who us (over 17 million voters) would vote for......................I know for sure not Obama.
Obama is a racist and a anti-American.
Nothing Howard Dean and the corrupt ole school can say will CHANGE my mind....................my mind is not weak.
I would like for Obama to get enough votes to shut Hillary and Bill Clinton down. He is a pain in the butt. Go home Hillary and Bill, you are destroying the democratic party.
this is an open letter to hillary clinton
senator,you are destroying the democratic party.
hillary please tell us what we can do to make u realise that america has made the decision,and u are not it?
please free ur supporters on this blog from what ever spell of ignorance u placed them under.

CNN-Thanks for updating OBAMA's scorecard.
The move is on...
It is a FACT that Hillary supporters will not support Obama in November IF he is the nominee. This is a sincere movement that has started networking through email, websites, and phone calls to all Hillary supporters. Currently, our projections have just reached 50% of Hillary supporters that have dedicated their vote and time to McCain's campaign if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.
Sorry Obamabots. We want EXPERIENCE. Call it racist or call it what you may. Look deep within yourself before making such asinine claims to racism since you have no other excuse.
Don't take it personal. It is what it is. Obama can't win without Hillary and her supporters. Anyone who thinks otherwise is very stupid.
For those of you Hillary supporters that say vote for McCain instead of Obama aren't reallly supporters anyway..You are no different than racist people who vote against obama because of his race.You rather vote for McCain a man who doesn't support pro choice,he voted against raising the minimum wage and i can go on and on so you go right ahead and be a bigot and vote for more of the same.You think the last 7 years has been hell just vote for McCain and you would be lucky if you have money left over to pay your light bill
Belle...Shut your ugly mouth...what are you 12 years old??? You have done nothing but spew hatred every time you blog here..please go awat...your racism is shinging thru and everyone can see it..Somehow you must be related to Hillary..you both are anrgy, devisive human beings! Go on her blog and praise her all you want...She will NOT be the next president of the USA..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm from Indiana and was sadly disappointed that she barely won here, but the down side to that, now everyone else is too.. Since Hillary left an unpaid bill at Indiana University that they now have to pay on her behalf. Its amazing how she lies, and claims to be the one that can clean up George Bush's mess, when she's leaving a mess everywhere she goes. Be careful monta and PR you're going to end up paying for Hillary's visit!!!
such hostility such small minds the Clinton clan have
Bob Stevens, "ignore the voters??" Surely you must know that the DNC is ignoring half the Dem voters in this country ALREADY–the Hillary supporters!!! They will regret it.
