People stop crying that the media is pro- Obama…that why they played looped tapes of his church over and over and played snippets of his wife's speech and every other negative they could make up? Give me a break! Obama is the nominate and if you decide to support McCain then you couldn't possible have supported Hillary for her policies…because if you did you would never vote against Obama just because you need someone to blame. Please grow up people and get back to the principles….listening to the "whiners" reminds me of when I was in grade school and if a kid didn't like the game…he took his ball and went home, If you ever take the time to listen to Mr. Obama you may actually agree with him…and if you are just plain racist…put on goggles….because you will need more than that…perhaps a seeing eye dog to survive one term with McCain!

Lots of crybabies here. He beat Hill and her band of bags fair and square.Your theats mean nothing. All I know is she won't be president.

Hillary supporters should help Obama send McBush back to Arizona. The economy, health care and the Supreme Court are at stake and those supporters should not lose sight on that. By the way, I was Hillary guy before becoming Obama supporter.

Let's put it this way. Do you seriously believe any Fortune 500 company – much less a country — would make someone with Obama's lack of experience the CEO?

Your "polls" have been dead wrong lately, and this poll is no different. There is no way on earth Obama could beat McCain.

The last thing we need is another guy from World War II!!!!

Obama will have a landslide victory in November, no matter what Clinton extreme supporters decide to do.

Even if Hillary is on the ticket as VP (I doubt she will be) I will vote for the person who is most qualified to run this country as President, and unfortunately, unless some how Clinton does pull off the nomination, will be John McCain. Sorry Hillary Clinton is being shafted!

If you people are truly Hillary supporters, then what are you going to do when she campaigns hard for Obama against McCain? Are you still going to vote McCain, even with your girl Hillary standing with Obama? That would make you against Hillary as well.

FOR "ALL" WHO SAY OBAMA CAN'T BEAT MCCAIN, BUT HILLARY CAN BE MCCAIN. WHY CAN'T ISN'T HILLARY BEATING OBAMA

Dear Suspect – I don't know where you are coming from but I have never heard Obama trash ANYBODY except the present administration and perhaps Hillary's policies… he has been a complete gentlemen… so… stop making stuff up and posting it here.

Also, not voiting for Hillary does not make me a "Hillary Hater"! Grow up!

Dear Julian – of course Michigan is doing poorly… THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS IN A MESS because of the present administration…. why should Michigan be any different? And now you want more of the same? I just don't understand your thinking.

WTG Obama for making sure the Republicans stayed in.

This doesn't take into account all the Hillary supporters who will not vote for OBAMA in any situation like me. A 51-year veteran of the Democrat party who will fold my playing cards and stand behind JOHN McCAIN. Go ahead Obama supporters and say some more negatives comments about this. YES I WOULD RATHER HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS OF A FAILING ECONOMY THAN TO VOTE FOR BARACK (TERRORIST, LIAR, CROOK, ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN) OBAMA. You people are ignorant with your saying of poor white eneducated white folks. SO go ahead and call me a racist. I wasn't one until I read all the negative remarks coming from YOU PEOPLE. So go back to your dancing underneath the football stands while the game is going on you don't know anything else to do except drink cheap wine. I wonder how many of you are high-school drop-outs? YOU ARE THE EXACT REASON THIS COLLEGE GRADUATE IS VOTING FOR JOHN McCAIN. Besides I am for staying the course in Iraq. I also am a 28-year retiree of the U.S. Army who unlike OBAMA is PATRIOTIC.

Ya gotta love it. Now he can't win unless Hillary is the VP or else they'll vote for McCain. Somehow, some way if it isn't Hillary, they go republican. Obviously they ARE republican, enamored by Hillary and otherwise hating democrats. When polled and asked to compare Obama vs. McCain, they say McCain. And Obama is still said to be leading. Get off this "If Hill doesn't win, I'm not playing" stuff. Who do you think will change their mind over those threats?

I love how Hillary is now supposed to say tonight that "Yes I agree Obama has the right number of delegates to win (today….) but he didn't beat me, I don't concede."

Still not playing gracefully, if she does this. Just sitting on the bench waiting for some event to occur to throw herself back in and save the party. I hope 150 supers go his way to morrow and dash her hopes of a switcheroo.

This is not surprising. People want CHANGE, not more of the same.

I'm a woman for Hillary who will definately vote for Obama
Thankfully Obama has been very respectful to Hillary. I follow closely & he has been very careful never to personally attack Hillary

yes we do need Clinton supporters like me to get behind Obama

LET'S GROW UP!!

Barack Obama I hate your guts and you are going to destroy my country.

Yea, and according to the media, Kerry was going to whoop Bush! Things were going very well in the US, until we got a Democratic Congress Majority, or don't ya'll remember?

To those who think it's suspicious and a little dubious, I do too, Why??
Because a full 70% of all Americans feel we're on the wrong course. And a year ago, this number was over 60%.
As people realize that Senator McCain is promoting similar positions as President Bush
1) judges – Pres Bush appointed Alito and Roberts, McCain said 3 weeks ago that he'd appoint judges like Alito, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas

2) war – we've all known that Pres Bush's Iraq war was an unnecessary war and Scott McClellan/s book doesn't change that in any way. How about that $10 billion we spend over there every month, a lot going in no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other "connected" entities.

3) economy – it's no secret that McCain used part of his influence back in the 80's to push through a deal that ended up being the biggest savings & loan scandal in the history of this country. Now we see him tied to lobbyists (former Sen Phil Gramm who works on behalf of UBS) who were opposed to mortgage relief for hard-working people. And it's not like he hasn't had lobbyists running his campaign from the start. Hey, anybody heard about Charlie Black and his ties?
We want this guy over the teetering economy we have now?

So yes, I think the reporting is a little odd. I would have thought the spread would be a LOT LARGER!! Oh well, there are some people who are Republicans through and through, and I respect them for that. But just remember, if you want change, you have to change not just the person but the policy mindset.

The people will have their say in November. We will then have heard the last of BHO. Remember all those big, older white male, blue collar, lunch box, hispanic states BHO has all the problems with? He will still have those problems in November and we won't have to stand by and watch the Electoral College votes be proporationately divided by the DNC. Sorry BHO, but when those votes are counted, you will be gone.

fight for your right to vote
***************************
your crazy I supported HRC as well but it is not worth it let go my neghibors son died in the war and you want this to cont?…..same on you all……party first cante 2nd!!!

We the American public are not ready to turn over our beloved country to a novice. Should this happen the State of Texas will become the Republic of Texas. If you think that $4.00 gas is high, wait till we take our oil with us and reform our own country.

Leave it to CNN to cherry pick the poll resutls that show Obama beating McCain. If people want the real story of what's going on in the polls I recommend visiting another web site which I can't say here since my comment will get deleted. In anycase, the "other" web site will show you that McCain is consistently running 3-4 points ahead in the dailing Gallup and Pew tracking polls. These polls are a better representation of what is going on instead of the single USA today poll. Of coure CNN doesn't want to mention the polls that show Obama leading. This is getting out of control here people.

Answer me this, why won't "Obama's Republicans" support Hillary if she is to be the nominee. As most people on the blogs state, "her policy is similar to Obama's policy.

After reading the obnoxious remarks by the Obama supporters, I think McCain might get my vote. I am ashamed of my fellow democrats.

1012 people, ya, that really represents a pop. of over 300 million.
This this why you should take polls with a grain of salt.

And people, please, turn off your caps lock.

I am also one of the millions of Democrats who will either not vote or vote for McCain if Obama is the Presidential nominee especially without Hillary as his running mate.

After the absolute debacles in Florida and Michigan and the results from the DNC Rules Committee, the DNC and Super Delegates should look at all the millions of Hillary supporters (17 million+ in popular votes alone) who just might stay home come election day. Can the DNC afford to lose us? Can the party possibly ever unite this election? I keep hearing the politicians saying we will be united but I don't see it and apparently from the comments, I am not alone.

Having spoken to many Americans during the course of this primary elections I came back with the clear impression that Obama can not only win but win handsomely against McCain. People are seriously thinking about this election by and large will vote on the issues. The so-called racist vote is highly exaggerated;what people forget is that this vote is counter-balanced by people who are repelled by racism. Unlike in some parts of Europe the young particularly the educated ones are not willing to buy into this agenda. They can see for themselves that black people given similar opportunities do as well as whites. The historic marginalisation of the black people is now a days parallel by the marginalisation of whole sections of white people as well. Therefore, candidate who preaches unity is very welcome to many people. The fact that some these white people voted for Hillary is not only a question of name recognition but a refection of her record in fighting for healthcare etc.

We talk about experience, i haven't seen it in action during the past eight years, it more about judgement, and a degree of fairness. America is thrusting itself upon the world as a leader in democracy, the current admin has cheated and lied to America and the world over.{Bushwhacked And Cheneyed}.

Baby this just the beginning Obama is going to blow this old man out of the water!

For all of you that thinks Obama is weak you are going to be in for a big surprise when you see how he handles McCain, Obama will not tolorate those games from McCain as he did with Hillary his fellow Democrat. He will go man to man with McCain.

Old man you had better get ready and you needn't think you are going to depend on those nasty old Republican games, we are wise to them and resent them. Etiher you be able to stand tall and go toe to toe with Obama on the current issuesthat matter to the people or you put us all out of the misery fast by taking you butt home long before NOV.

David, Chicago, IL- Why don't you goto http://www.barackobama.com…and go see his policies on those issues, sorry I don't have time to write hundreds upon hundreds of pages regarding each of those…

Get informed…and realize Barack's Policies are not too far different than HRC's policies… which is why the democrats have been split over the two…

They are equally powerful enough to overtake and crush McCain seperately.

When they come together here in the next few weeks, McCain will not only get crushed, he might as well end his run right there and then, because it will be an embarrasment when he loses by 50 states..

Army Vet from the 60's
Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain wants no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can take at his age.Obama is young and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

4 more years of same policies – yeah !
Gas prices dont matter for me as i get free gas !
I am rich and i have health care.So do most of my friends.

I wonder if Bill is going to claim this is another "left wing conspiracy" to get his wife out of the campiagn led by the media, propagated by the Obama team….

You Hillary supporters should think before you talk, with all due respect….

Democrats 08

McCain will win the election. A CNN poll a while back asked people how they would vote if their candidate was not chosen to be on the ticket in November. An amazing 40% responded they would vote Republican! You don't have to be an Einstein to do the math, but with Hillary and Obama nearly even in the polls, that all but hands the presidency to McCain in a landslide.

If voting for John McCain makes you feel better then go ahead. Take your ball and go home.

Acting like a 5 year-old won't help you take care of your family under a McCain administration.

Some of you sound like suicide bombers.

Derrick Reid – Staffordshire, England

LET'S GO BABY WE ARE BEHIND YOU BABY.

DOES THIS MEANS THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY SAYING SHE KNOWS NOW SHE LOST? WHY THEN MAKE THESE KIND OF STATEMENTS, FOX REPORTED THE BREAKING NEWS FROM AP..

Obamabots can enjoy the freedom of this CNN blog sphere till November, and be merry with the idea of having Rev Wright's prodigy as President of USA.

Keep some sanity to celebrate Christmas of 2008.

Finally, Americans are chosen the best of the best candidate which is Barack Obama. Sorry, Bill and Hillary is time for you to go. Americans want desperately change in this country and Obama is the candidate for change. Obama will beat Mcain in November because we do not want 4 more years of GWB. Go Obama, we will all be celebrating tonight for your victory.

I'd just like all of you Democrats to take stock of where we as a nation are today and four years from now you will be amazed at how Obama has screwed the country up. And it will be your fault. And that is no consolation to me.

McCain '08

YOU IDIOTS STILL CANT GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT! MCCAIN DOESNT EVEN LIKE BUSH. LET ALONE WOULD HE ADOPT HIS POLICIES. GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT! YOU ARE MAKING CRACKS AT A WAR HERO FOR BEING OLD. YOUR CANDIDATE IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLDER THAN ME AND HAS 150 MORE DAYS OF IN SESSION EXPERIENCE THAN ME IN THE SENATE. HELL I SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT. AT LEAST I'M NOT AS ANTI-AMERICAN AS YOUR SOCIALIST SAVIOR.

Mr. Maccan does not know what he says sometimes…do u think this person can handle a big job!!!

AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination!!!!

The other EDGE Obama holds is that everytime a new voter registers and votes the odds are they will vote for Obama … not so for McThuselah … he loses voters everyday to father time! He certainly isn't going to gain much of the new youth vote!

Eeny meeny miny moe…

Where did Hillary go?

WRITE THE BEST IN IN NOVE— HRC

Don't just catch any idiot by the toe.

People just need to vote there interest this election.
Race and gender aside, people are suffering out here and if you decide to vote for McCain because your candidate loss, and we end up with 4 more years of misery…Don't complain…just get ready for the bread lines.

I got plenty of money, so I have the ability to leave and will be fine.
But most of you on these blogs are not in that situation, so don't attach yourself to a rich politician that will be fine no matter what the outcome is.
Vote that pocketbook.

BRAEKING NEWS EVERYONE SENATOR CLINTON JUST STATED THAT SHE'S WILLING TO BE VP FOR SENATOR BARACK OBAMA….

One word. LANDSLIDE!

So basically, all of you Hillary supporters who will now vote for McCain and saying what?

1. We believe in what Hillary believes in.
2. McCain is the opposite of that.
3. Hillary is not the (D) nominee.
4. So we'll vote for McCain because we're mad?
5. Yeah, we'll vote for McCain because we believe in what Hillary believes in which is the opposite of what McCain believes in..???!!!

All of you are real immature idiots….get over it and vote (D) if you really are one. We need a (D) in the white house. Hillary won't vote for McCain so why would you!

GROW UP PEOPLE!

Listen,

For those people whining about what Sen. Obama did while he was in the Illinois State Senate race – stop whining. What he did was well within the rules, even if you don't agree with what he did. You can't blame him for the other two candidates not making sure they had the correct paperwork filed to even RUN!

Obama 08!

I spoke too soon, the Bobama supporters Hillary hate-brigade is out in full force. If they are an example of the post-Bush world, stop the world, I want to get off.

There are Repulse-licans posting those " I WON'T VOTE FOR BARACK" nOTES ON HER. I know because one of them is or should I say was a friend of mine. I told him not to but he is a repulse-lican trying to upset the Clinton supporters. PLease don't be suckered in.

It's good to see both Clinton and Obama with their similar positions poll better than McCain. America cannot afford to continue the failed Bush policies, which McCain has adopted.

Dem '08

I don't care to support the Dems if that's the way they treat FL, MI and HRC. To hell with that party and it's leaders. I'm throwing my support to McCain, just to spite O.

We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

If u claim to be a real Dem and u r for McCain just because u dont get your way, then to He– with u DONT claim to be a Dem because u r just another idiot or I mean Rep for Bush. Amen. Think about it HRC fans u really want to give this country 4 or more yrs of Bush law then may God bless u because u will really need it. …..

McCain is Bush's slave.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

People keep saying Americans are not stupid and will not vote McCain in for what is obviously another Bush term. Let's hope this time it is proven true!

Let's hear someone lie and say McCain is suffering from bad press. Because he's been getting a total free ride from all his gaffs & lobbyist baggage. While every word & movement by Obama is analyzed with a negative spin.

End the phony War in Iraq, fortify health care, pharmacare, road and bridge safety, lower corporate taxes (AS DID IRELAND) to foster industrial growth and job creation in the US, ehance educational opportunities for all and liase with other countries, both friend and foe (BILL RICHARDSON'S FORTE).

Change for the Better … and REMEMBER the 4,080 American servicemen and women killed (a terrible toll compared to Canada's 85 in Afghanistan) and the 300,000 who served their country. They deserve the best from their President and Commander in Chief!

Mike

I miss Hillary already.

Now we have no GOOD choice- but must pick the lesser of 2 evils.

Oh wait… As an American I have the right to WRITE in the BEST Candidate.

So there is hope.

Obama, the Jimmy Carter of a new millenium.

Thanks for all the comments on the other blog, everyone! (Yes, even yours, INXIPRE.) Although I do think that Hillary is being delusion about winning the nomination, and maybe I'm just playing semantics here, but I still do not think that she, or anyone for that matter, can be called 'selfish' when they have the support of more than 17 million people. Call me crazy, (or a moron, like INXIPRE did).

Of course Obama trounces McCain. There's never been any doubt. Hillary has much more baggage in a general election.

Are we really stupid enough to elect Obama? Do we really want to embrace socialism so openly? I sure hope not!

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

4 more years of same policies – yeah !
Gas prices dont matter for me as i get free gas !
I am rich and i have health care.So do most of my friends.
We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

So long to Hillary… I guess I'll be voting all Republican in the election. It will be a cold day in you know what before I'll cast a vote for the incompitent, inexperienced, race-baiting, anti-American want-a-be. Besides, look at the games the dems have played in Michigan amongst other states. Obamo removed his name from the ballet in Michigan but when it came down to it begged to get the delegates. He doesn't deserve to lead this country.

As much as I hate to say it;

Vote McCain in '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say no to the hObo!!!!!!

Obama will be defeated by his own flawed principles.

Is he actually the person that we see everyday on TV shows ?

Polls like these prior to the actual nominee being picked are hardly usable, as we all know there will be a proverbial bounce once both nominees are picked and the final two are head to head…

Usually 5 – 10%, but in the case of the democrats this year, I fully expect as do quite a few others to see a 15 – 20% bounce when the two finalist are picked..

so expect this poll to be invalid within the week

The only decent Dem was pushed out of his own party… Then Joe Leiberman won his senate seat back as an independant. I'd love to see McCain tap good old Joe for his VP. FInally have respectability in the White house for the first time in my life.

The only poll that counts is the one in November. People lie to the poll takers. Obama is toast come November. He will be lucky to hold on to this Senate seat. Operation Chaos worked. We got the candiate we wanted for the main event.

No contest between this pretender and a real patriot, John S. McCain.

Go John. We are behind you all the way to the whitehouse.

Americans have finally learned that qualifications are not necessary for the job.

And women- better not run- especially if they have all the qualifications needed to lead and bring about the needed changes.

We all prefer a speech to hard work. It is easier to inspire us with words than by action.

QUOTE FROM BILL CLINTON "Those who say you cannot win are the ones that are afraid you will win" ….

I'm a lifelong Democrat and I refuse to vote for Obama. Some of y'all can scream "operation chaos" all you want, but that's the truth and these party "leaders" we have better wake up to it that I am not alone. They have done everything to give this thing to Obama short of stabbing Hillary in the back. Oh wait, they did that actually.

YES WE CAN!

What a great day for Democrats! The party is coming together . . . Obama has reached the required number of delegates to be the nominee . . . and polls show him extending his lead over McCain!

YES WE CAN!

Get over Hillary or Obama. Just beat McCain. This is more serious than the game you are playing. McCain is going to take us into another war. Wake up.

Heh James,

>I have yet to hear a Clinton supporter give a issues-based reason why
>they back her over Obama.

Give us your reasons for backing Bobama? What are his qualifications/ What is his position on various foreign policy issues. What is his position on various domestic policy issues?

What does he plan to do about poverty, health care, loss of jobs to overseas, food shortages, illiteracy (as demoed on this forum), erosion of the value of the dollar, inflation, Burma's government, Israel/Palestine, Russia, North Korea, Africa, and on and on..

Come on, James, let's hear it, let's be issue based. Can't hear you!

McCain is just four more years of Bush. Anyone could beat him, Obama, Clinton or John Doe.

As a past Hillary supporter, as disappointed as we may be for now, we could not live with ourselves if we in any way helped McCain. Every additional soldier that comes home wounded or in a body bag and every woman that is hurt by McCain's committment to make abortion illegal will have to live with that not to mention the probabilty we'd go further into bankrupcy as a counrty while these current wars, and a new one with Iran, drag on and kill our ecomny and hurt US families. Deep down, like HIlalry and Obama, we want what is best for the country. Thats a democrat.

IF Hillary drops out and doesn't go to the convention, then McCains numberbs will sky rocket on the next poll. Obama will go down one way or another. Count on it.

McCain will be defeated come November.

Ken is a Republican. Do not respond to him.

Three bad choices. Obama is the worst, followed by Hillary, followed by McCain. I hate to say it but no matter who wins on the DNC side, we should vote for McCain just based on the issues.

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

4 more years of same policies – yeah !
Gas prices dont matter for me as i get free gas !
I am rich and i have health care.So do most of my friends.

as a Republican, the only way i would vote for McCain is if the pathological liar Hillary is the Democratic nominee. He is far too liberal for my vote..Just another version of chuckie hagel…bad blood..

You BITTER Hillary supporters sound like kids that get mad on the playground and want to take your ball home so nobody can play. WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH Hillary didn't win, I'm gonna take my vote to the Republicans and support the B.S. that got us in this mess WAAAAAAAAHHHHH. Put aside your personal bruised little emotions and egos and realize that this is not about HILLARY or OBAMA, it's about America. And yes she has many supporters and Barack has a little more BUT DUMMIES THEY ARE ON THE SAME TEAM!!! DUUUUHHHH, so take your little attitudes BUILD A BRIDGE and GET OVER IT!!!!

I find it funny all these REPUBLICANS coming in here posing as HRC supporters saying they are going to vote for McCain in November…lol…

Guys its not working, those TRUE DEMOCRATS, know darn well, a vote for McCain is a vote for the same policies that have gotten this country where we are today, and will put us on a path that will make this country even worse in the coming years.

Hillary supporters, I reach across the aisle, and hold your hand as the DEMOCRATS… TRUE DEMOCRATS, put a democrat in the white house!!!

DEMOCRATS 08′
Obama 08′
HRC for secretary of state!!

Americans have not voted for substance for 8 years now.

The new way to the white house is on false promises delivered by a likable MAN who has never done anything for the country.

No qualified and experienced women need apply.

McCain will catch up in the polls once the country knows that Barack Obama like to hang out with terrorists and he treats them like his friends. The liberal media with no longer be able to keep "Barack" in his little shell anymore. He is a big boy now and he will no longer get silly questions.

National polls are deceptive. Yes Obama may have a slight edge with voters but does he have an edge with electoral college votes.
Democrats should focus on those states where they can pull in the votes to put us over the top.
5% in a popular vote is scary!

For all those Hillary Clinton supporters who is threatened to support John McCain if Hillary doesn't win, I say go right ahead, but when your kids are starving, and you lose your job don't expect this person to give to a charity to help you.

I have always felt it will be a blow out for either Obama or Clinton. The fact is that while McCain has been sitting out there throwing jabs at Obama, the two democrats have been competing in a very close, hard fought battle for the past 5 months. As soon as the nomination is decided you will begin to see the democratic nominee seperate from McBush in the polls.

Who's Obama gonna pick for a running mate? I think Hugo Chavez would be a great choice to fill out the ticket with someone of the same feelings about this great country of ours. What you bleading heart liberals don't realize is that what makes our lives so great here in the U.S., is that we are such a small portion of the world population, but have a good chunch of the wealth and resources. It was not stolen, but built with the hard work of our American forefathers. Our previous generations worked and sacrificed to get us ahead, and now you guys want to weaken the U.S. in order to make some of those crappy poor countries better off. It sounds good in principle, but how much are you guys will to give up?

Those of you who will vote McCain if Hillary loses are like parents who, deciding to go on a diet, lock up all the food and starve their children. Your voting decisions don't just affect YOU, they affect AMERICA. I know many Americans have a "Me, Me, Me" reputation. It's about time we starting thinking about US – as in USA.

Rasmussen has McCain and Obama even at 46% each. They don't even do McCain vs. Hillary any more, but they had Obama over Hillary by 49% to 42%.

History shows that whenever party members split during a primary all the way into the convention, the party loses the general election. In the past it was either based on issues, ideology, personal or financial. In this case Democrats are split because of several more problems, most important of which are RACE and GENDER. The two, beside all others withstanding, are fundamentally more absolute in ones decision making than the others. THEREFORE I DON'T SEE OBAMA RECOVERING OR HEALING THIS RIFT. HE WILL LOSE.

Obama just copied Hillary speach. His own reporters cannot name one thing he has accomplished in congress. Its almost a comedy to listen to his past speaches about all the things he promissed the young naive voters .

Is it registered or likely voters in the poll ? Also, its not a national contest but a state by state competition for electors. Natioanl polls may be fun but are really meaningless

Go Obama! Its all we have to say, well and NO MORE BUSH!! I love the way that sounds :0)

It all depends on what polls you read. Likewise, the polls will show what the person or group paying for the poll wants it to show. It all depends on what questions are asked, who is asked and how the questions are asked. This is just one of the many ways American media tries to control American politics.

Hussien+ Pelosi…That is a Loseing combo for America.

McCain Brings the right credentials to the oval office and he is
no W. The DNC stole this election out from under Clinton…
they have made thier Bed they must LIE in it.

Bush and Obama both prove that Americans no longer require any substance from their presidents.

Hype and talk and personality supercede experience and hard work.

This is a good sign because McCain,all he know is Iraq and Iran.
He can not help us locally.This why Obama is the better candidate.
McCain, you will loose in november because we don't need another
Bush 3rd term.

Ron Paul Supporters for Obama!

I'm a lifelong Republican, and I will never vote for McCain. Party dynamics are clearly shifting: the stupids and the "bitters" will vote for McCain, and anyone with a brain will vote for Obama.

People say that only Clinton can take back the White House, but it never seems as though they cite any actual evidence supporting this claim. The polls show that Obama actually has a better chance of doing so than she does.

I am amazed at how fickle you folks appear. One would think that this election is about making sure that the best team is in place to fix the issues with the economy, healthcare, education, the war in Iraq, skyrocketing petroleum product and food prices, etc and not about black or white, man or woman.

The fact that some of you have decided to pout and side with the opposition (whose policies are similar to those which have aided in the US being in its current precarious position) because "your candidate" did not win the nomination speaks volumes about your fickleness, lack of loyalty and hatred of self.

This is not a time for pouting/sulking. This is a time to think about the young people who are dying for what seems to be a senseless war. (Do you feel any safer?) This is time to wonder if you are next to have the bank put your house on the foreclosure list; to wonder if it's worth teaching your child to drive as by the time he/she gets a driver's license, gas maybe so high that the car is only used in the event of an emergency; to wonder if you will be able to heat your home in winter; and better yet, if your job is safe as companies continue to cut costs and contract.

Democrats, remember why you are democrats. Think about what the last eight years has been like under republican governance. Is it really worth abandoning hope because your candidate did not win the nomination?

This is for all of you Obama supporters that drank his Kool-Aid, John McCain is no fool. He has played this game a lot longer than Obama and will not roll over and play dead.
He knows more about how to play than Obama ever will. John will not be treated like Alice Palmer. No swift boating of McCain will work.
I bet they have tons of ads ready to hit the air and proof of Obama's radical ideas that he wants to push on you dumb Obama followers. Obama is a cult and one day he will lead you over the cliff….can't wait for that to happen.

These polls mean absolutely nothing. McCain will win and Obama's fans will be left scratching their heads asking themselves what happend. The answer is, you chose the wrong candidate to go up against McCain. Good luck to Obama all the same. Lord knows we don't need McCain in office.

I cannot understand the mentality of some Americans… they want universal healthcare, they want an end to the war in Iraq, they want better regulations applied to trade and, in general, they want a new direction for America.

Why would these Americans vote for McCain after supporting a democratic candidate and democratic policy goals?

Spite is the only answer I can think of. Clinton supporters have no reason to vote for McCain other than bitterness and it blows me away that they would be willing to harm themselves and the rest of the country and the rest of the world by voting against Obama. It's a selfish and infantile attitude that bodes the worst for our future.

Don't ruin this for us Hillary supporters. Your sense of entitlement isn't anywhere near significant enough a reason to ruin this opportunity for the country and the world.

OK, Hillary nuts. Get this straight. The only reason she has more of the popular vote right now is because Rush Limbaugh got all of his Republicans to vote for her to keep the Democratic nomination process going on. If the Republicans hadn't been voting for her Obama would have had this wrapped up and sent her and Bill home a long time ago. Hopefully they will finally admit this is over and go home! You can all say you won't vote for Obama, but when the curtain is pulled you won't vote for another Bush term so we know you'll vote Democrat! Don't fool yourself! Get over it…she never would have been President anyway – Bill would have taken over and they both would have been impeached within a year! The Clintons don't care about the people, they only care about the Clintons – wake up!

I doubt both Hillary and Bill Clinton will allow this upstart a free reign. They will nail him. At present he's empowered by the tide that started with back-stabbing Alice Palmer. This will come back to haunt him. A man who can raise 1/4 Billion dollars for his campaign is not a clean man. It's politics as usual, except a different voice box. At least with Hillary or McCain, we're getting seasoned people. We don't need on the job training for the highest office in the land

WHO CARES WHAT A FEEBLE MINDED, ILL TEMPERED

OLD NASTY MAN SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA, HAS TO SAY>>>>>

ALL HE RELAY KNOWS IS BOMB, BOMB,& BOMB SOME MORE.

Concerned Canadian, you are so wrong! The world is fervently hoping for an Obama election. And the first name is BARACK not Hussein. But even if it were the name Adolf does not a Hitler make.

Well DAH!!!
Now if we can just get the Hillary supporters on the same page he will be over taken!! DEMS back in the White House!! minus the Clintons if at all possible, but if we have to take Hillary…I'll get over it. But no Bill…no no no

Well… the people were stupid enough to vote an unqualified and cocky Bush in- twice.

I guess they love the arrogant, cocky, boastful, unqualified, nobody, Obama as well.

Oh but wait……………Clinton said that she is the stronger candidate against McSame in November. Who would have thought Obama would be in the lead? Where did he come from, Clinton is entitled! LOL.

Obama '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is good that Hillary is now on the verge of conceding that the nomination is Barak's, and that the common interest of the Democratic Party, the American people and the world, demands that she selflessly support this nomination and inspire her supports to do the same.

The Democratic Party must not become a house divided amongst itself. Hilary should now support Obama and encourage her supporters to do so. Her supporters should put aside whatever dislike they have for Barak, if they are based on his ethnic origins and stereotypes about black people – remember, Barak is the product of black/white heritage. He represents unity of two polars.

Barak's vision for America and the World, the vision of Change for a better America and World is one which can be shared by all who wants to buy into it. McCain's vision is not one about better future per se. He makes much about war and fighting.

As a Veteran, he should know better than most that war does not solve anything: it kills people and destroy livelihoods and the inheritance of future generations. Support the military is fine, but we should be embracing a future which places less emphasis on the need to have soldiers and more on investing that allocation of resources into peaceful co-existence.

I believe that this is what Barak and those whose vision her espouses wants to achive. He must not allow his detractors to dilute this vision to please vested self-interests which are not just ones.

I do not believe that Barak should have Hillary as his VP running mate, and would imaging that his advisors would not recommend that. Notwithstanding that, there is a place for Hillary in a Barak Administration. That is what inclusivity is all about.

And Obama's hate mongers go on and on. I've never seen so much hatefilled comments under any other election. Why are they so rotten. Do they think that by cutting everyone down they BUILD THEIR GUY UP, got news for you, it makes people think that he's the same as you are, hateful and deceitful. If this is the kind of following he gathers, I want no part of it.

The lead is only going to increase. Barack will bring out a ton of new voters and the right wing is disenchanted with McCain. Even if some turncoats HRC will vote for him, it will still be Barack in a LANDSLIDE.
This democrat for once will work hard to see that happen!

Still talking about Billary is a retrograde approach. U.S. finally is on the track to elect a young, smart, forward looking president.

Hillary the Hippo Hipped Hypocrite thinks that:

Every Vote Counts.. Unless it is from a Caucus State.??

And really counts if its from an invalidated one candidate on the ballot State.

This is the TAINTED popular vote lead she wants history to remember?

What a Super V.P. she would make… NOT..!

Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?

To Concerned Canadian -

Actually the world is looking forward to it. Thanks!

Did they just poll black people again?

Did they include Fl and Mi and women, and elderly and Puerto Ricans and Latinos in this poll?

Or do Blacks rule the country now?

I will only vote for John McCain if he picks Mitt Romney as his vice president. Romney is a true conservative. I have issues with John McCain. When a person becomes president it is the highest honor one can hold and we shouldn't give this priviledge to someone undeserving. Now Barack Obama has no experience and he is an unfit candidate for president. We are at war and we need a president who is qualified. Now I would not be swayed by the idea of a Obama/Clinton ticket because like Hillary has said Obama is not qualified to be president. That ticket would not change anything. In fact it would make Hillary seem like a hypocrite with all the things she has said towards Barack Obama. How in the world could she possibley be on a ticket with him and stay true to herself.

Here we go. Obama clinches the Dem nomination and the CNN propaganda polls come out the same day.

Why don't you report on Nancy Pelosi crediting Iran and not our brave American troops with the success in Iraq?

Why don't you ask questions like: If oil and energy prices are so high, and increases in prices are inevitable, why don't we drill our own oil reserves?

Why are we stopping our own energy independence?

Why are we trying to implement cap and trade policy on CO2, when A GOVERNMENT AGENCY said it will increase the price of gasoline by AT LEAST $1.50 A GALLON?!?!

What is going on, America!?!?

WAKE UP! Get all these bums in Washington OUT OF OFFICE, they are ruining our way of life!

I don't care if the Polar bears are extinct, i want to be able to fill my car up for less than $50!!!!

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

4 more years of same policies – yeah !
Gas prices dont matter for me as i get free gas !
I am rich and i have health care.So do most of my friends.

No new news in this story…. But it will be a way bigger win then Bush could ever dream about…

great, so now we would chose a muslim over a war hero.

If these people that were going to vote for HRC are now going to vote for McCain then they are what is truly wrong with America….People who do not care about the issues but rather their own ego's and ignorance.

Chris,

Please factor in the rethuglicans control of the all branches of Government for six of the last eight years…

THEN add in a healthy dose of OBSTRUCTIONISM to make "sure" nothing gets done….

NOW make your claim. BUT MAKE IT HONESTLY!!!!!

Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today we begin taking our country back for the common people!

Bill NY,
Good point. Lack of experience vs lack of education. Now I'm totally lost on who to vote vor.

The country has been run by people who are less educated than Obama, or had fewer academic honors.

It's the 'Gas Indicator'. The higher the price of gasoline and heating oil climbs, the better the chances that Obama will be elected.

If he put Clinton on the list as VP, he will loose MILLIONS of votes from BOTH parties. Do not listen to Hillary former supporters, keep her away, otherwise the tiger will show again one day her false teeth.

I am republican who is going to vote for Obama, but with Clinton on the ticket – McCain. Now moderate.

I am SO proud of Barack Obama.

Dems — Keep in mind that right-wing nuts post messages pretending to be either Hillary or Obama supporters, and bash the other candidate in order to stir up animosity. Don't be fooled. A tell-tale sign of these unsavory types is that they refer to our party as the "Democrat Party" and they urge Hillary backers to vote for McCain. Why would a Democrat want people to vote for a right-wing Republican over a progressive Democrat? Think about it.

And we haven't even started throwing punches at McCain. Obama should destroy him. The GOP realizes that their corruption and incompetence is going to mean a landslide loss in 2008 (a la 2006), so they are just sticking in an over-the-hill figurehead to take the loss to keep from tarnishing the Mitt Romney's and Mike Huckabee's.

The number of States according to Obama = 57 ..

Hillary08

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Helll NOOOO!

I think it is HILLARYous how the Clinton supporters (particularly the women) who say they will vote for McCain —- You can't be that stupid!!! Roe vs. Wade will be overturned when McBush appoints two more judges and also will send your now 15 year old son to Iraq in 3 years to fight in an endless war!

Talk about sour grapes… Some of Clinton's supporters would rather see a right-wing SCOTUS, ten more years of war in Iraq, universal health care rejected and a continuing economic decline rather than do the right thing and vote for the party that HRC stands for.

Karl Rove sends his thanks…

McCain '08!!

Experience really does count, boys and girls…

GOOD! This lead will continue to grow once the Clintons are out of the way.

Americans are NOT STUPID, and we DO NOT WANT ANOTHER BUSH TERM……. nor another 'out-of-touch' Republican!

Clinton AND McCain, with ALL their experience and 'wisdom' VOTED FOR THIS ILL-CONCEIVED WAR WITH IRAQ!

WE ARE IN DEBT PEOPLE! $10 TRILLION AND COUNTING! Most of this debt has been ADDED SINCE THE IRAQ WAR STARTED!

HOW CAN ANYONE WITH A BRAIN VOTE FOR MCCAIN?????????

WE NEED TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO MOVE FORWARD, TO CHANGE OUR COURSE BEFORE WE ARE BANKRUPT! BEFORE MORE YOUNG SOLDIERS ARE KILLED, MAIMED ……..OR WORSE, COMMIT SUICIDE AS A RESULT OF THEIR TIME IN IRAQ!

AMERICAN LET'S TELL MCCAIN AND THE RNC WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!

If the democrats lose the white house, we can point fingers at Hillary AND her supporters who similar to 3 year-olds do not know when it's time to listen and stop!!! She will prolong this process and put us at a disadvanatge – do the Clintons really have that big of an ego?

As for all of you Hillary supporters who threaten to stay home or vote for McCain, again immature and mindless because your anger will hurt all of us – grow up!

GET OUT NOW HILLARY – IT'S OVER.

The fact that McCain barely trails either contender is troubling given his wholehearted embrace of the failed policies of this current administration. Not because McCain's policies lack substance, but rather because they are fueled more by rhetoric than pragmatism. Yet, these numbers would indicate that a huge percentage of the populace continues to eat this crap up.

McCain used to be a maverick. However, in his attempt to pander to the most extreme elements of his party, Bomb Bomb has become a shell of his former self in a very short time. Now he just spits out Bush's policies like a trained puppet. The current administration has been test-driving McCain's policies for over 7 years and has helped to create the situation we are in today. With any hope, the media will reveal the evolution of McCain's policies beyond his beloved military. The more the public sees about this purported maverick, the better they'll come to understand that why we can do better. I'm not hating on McCain for doing what he had to do to become the Republican nominee, he just needs to admit it.

All I'm trying to say is…. this country will get the President it truly deserve, one way or another.

Hillary is the better candidate to beat McCain.

I am a true democrat who believes in the rules of waiting until the convention to decide the nominee.

So I urge HRC to give America a true choice- a middle ground candidate- and take it to the convention.

The male democratic candidates exercised this option- and they were WAY behind.

HRC is within the margin of error- less than 1% of the popular viote behind the strong, great, gift Obama.

Let not your heart be troubled. This upcoming election will produce a seismic shift and when the dust clears, we will be a better, stronger and more unified country. Sometimes change hurts but is nonetheless needed.

God Bless America!

At last Hilary who always claims to be more electible in the fall has to go home indebt and full of disgrace.lol.Anyway, I hope SHE will get intouch with OBAMA to help unite the democratic party.
Obama 08

This post if chockfull of Sillary haters. SHAME ON YOU IDIOT democrats…a plague on your ignorance! What you fail to understand is that in your infinite infantile pandering, you have lost HRC the democratic dominee and would like to think that you have the POWER to cause Hon. Senator Barak Obama to lose the national election in November. BUT, You ALL are dead-wrong and personally I cannot wait to see the look on your stupid faces when BARAK reigns supreme come November. Silly rabbits, tricks are for kids…

THE BUSH FOREIGN POLICY AT WORK.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT MCSAME IS THAT, HE CLAIMS

ALL THAT FOREIGN POLICY, AND LOOK WHAT HE DID WITH IT.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY LOOK AT WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH IT.

HE HAS NO NATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY & BUSH FOREIGN POLICY.

EVEN REPUBLICAN KNOW THE WHOLE THING IS A CRAP POLICY.

Is this the same USA Today/Gallup poll that showed that Kerry was going to defeat Bush?

Stupid Democrats.

Now the AP has called the delegate race for Obama?

What did these idiots not learn from Florida 2000.

Keep holding that pie in your face, lefties.

Somebody alert Clinton!

Look at the straight Gallup Poll taken at the same time. Sample size much larger.

Hillary beats McCain by 1
Obama loses by 1

Pick and Choose your polls CNN. Roland and Donna B. must be working today.

McCain 08

Hillary, "I'm stronger"

NOT!

Let's go supers, no need to delay.

I'm betting on Big Brown to knock McCain down. I'm an Independent who voted for Bush but he won't get us out of Iraq so I want Obama to do it. He doesn't have that much experience but he is an excellent listener and he's bright. Let's bring the boys home–alive.

Go ahead, Clintonistas vote for McCain. If you're stupid enough to vote for someone who's against everything Hillary stands for, you will get what you deserve.

…and this is with the Dem party as divided as it can possibly be, which won't last. I'm really not worried about the few Dem dingbats who promise to vote for McSame. They are losers and will be losers in November when they vote for Crazy Ol' Grampa McSame.

###############V I V A O B A M A ####################

Good and I hope that those numbers increases once we have an official Democratic nominee.

These are the same polls that gave Obama New Hampshire, etc….

Hillary will win the nomination. No matter what fuzzy math the media and the Obama campaign uses, he will not become the nominee. Hannity is reserving surprises to the Illinois Senator.

Hillary08

Hillary and her supporters are sore losers. I've come to the conclusion that her supporters who say they will vote for McCain are just complete idiots!!!

As much contempt that i have for Hillary based on her behavior this campaign season, if she were to win the nomination, i would NEVER vote for McCain. NEVER!!!

A vote for McCain is a vote for the diminishing economy that we are presently in…and things are just going to get worse. A vote for McCain is a vote for 100 more years of war and thousands and thousands of more lives lost. I have brothers in the military and i could be voting to send them to die if i were a sore loser like alot of the Hillary supporters who threaten to vote for McCain if she doesn't get the nomination and i could never do a thing like that. Simply put, a vote for McCain is just a vote for a 3rd term of Bush.

I just don't understand what people are so bitter about. What has Obama done that has been so bad and unfair? He's been the civilized one throughout this whole process and i am very impressed with how he has conducted himself and his campaign. His has run a fair and good campaign.

Remember when Obama was 30 or more points behind Clntion, and only had about 30% of the Black vote? At this point in time, the polls are essentially meaningless beyond a snapshot of the moment when they are taken, and as historical placemarkers of trends. By all accounts this race will be close, well within the error of margin. But, given Obama's past record against HilBilly & crowd, the Clinton poliitcla machine, a party under 16 years of Clinton loyalists, McCain better be worried.

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

To those dems who want to vote for McCain: it's my opinion that you're just being spiteful by saying that you'll vote for McCain over someone from your own party (Obama). Stop the threats and grow up. You're just showing the same cry-baby tactics of Billary, and look where she's at?

After eight miserable years under this administration. America is READY to get busy so to speak. The idea of a black president really isn't all that's it's cracked up to be. The idea that a black man couldn't win the presidency this time in history is a flawed argument. While there are stil pockets of racism out there. They are few and far in between. America has come a long way since Martin Luther King. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton are old school. Not too long ago nobody thought that a black golfer by the name of Tiger Woods would compete to be the best golfer of all times. What about Michael Jordan? What about all the other black athletes we see compete on a world wide level. Take a look at your news anchors and reporters. White, Black, Asian, Spanish and the list goes on. We've come along way since the early sixties. And that is why America is great!

Amen to Ed. Hillary run as an independent. You have 17+ millions reasons too.

Americans, let's grow up and vote on the issues not on emotions.

Yea, you biased pollsters said that agout Gore, then Kerry, and once again will be shown how these polls matter not. Bush was an embarrasment, McCain will clean up the mess and do it with honor.

This in not news….

Obama 08….

Mccain is good but he is our grand pa . His age does not allow him for presidency. stay at home grand pa. there should be basketball game between grand pa and Obama whoever wins becomes the president. why to spend millions of dollar on election. lets so short cut way.

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

Barack Obama does not need Hillary to win in Novemeber. Just another falsehood circulating thanks to Mrs.Clinton. Obama fought to get where he is alone, and will continue to do so in November. The Republicans are ITCHING to fight Hill in November, because they know they can win. Please do not delude yourselves further.

Hello…..Viva Obama !!!!

I agree that we need to bring home the troops from Iraq.

WHY? to protect American cities from the Race riots and looting that will erupt when NObama loses in Nov.

Go Hillary Go McCain

I don't believe this poll. Everyone is underestimating the distaste Hillary's supporters have for the way she's been treated by the media and how Obama has muscled his way from nothing to the brink of world leader. Hillary's supporters can NOT hold their noses and vote for Obama. We simply can't put a mark after the name of someone who is so unfit to lead our nation.

DON'T YOU LOVE IT HOW CNN IS TRYING TO STRONG-ARM THE SUPERDELEGATES TODAY WITH THE COVERAGE….

GUESS WHAT, CNN: You don't decide for me !

Even EMINEM can have an edge over McCain, if he is the nominee
Obama will win with a landslide majority this fall.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

So, these Hillary-Only FREAKS are few and far between. They should be ignored.

There is no way Obama can have a lead over McCain! How many people actually are polled by Gallup??
I'm an independent and there is no way from what I'm reading all over and hearing from people talking that he has a lead over McCain! Take a look at the Straw Poll on AOL where over 100,000 people take the poll EVERY WEEK. Hillary leads that poll EVERY WEEK….by taking at least 45 of the FIFTY (not 57) STATES.

That is all Obama can ever manage- an edge that isn't really any bigger than the margin of error.

I have yet to hear a Clinton supporter give a issues-based reason why they back her over Obama. It's all the same stale "Votes were stolen!" junk they say over and over — never mind that Clinton agreed to the rule that denied Florida and Michigan their delegates, and only Obama supporters in the DNC voted against it. It's all stale talk about Obama running a "dirty" campaign, when I could list sleazy attack after sleazy attack Clinton launched on him.

I am starting to believe that they're Republican plants. They can't be this stupid, can they?

NEWS REPORT:

Hillary Clinton pushed out by superdelegates!

REPUBLICAN PICK UP 18 MILLION NEW VOTES!

UPDATE:

RAY BANZI and No-Bama just flipped, sorry switched

add five more from this blog

will keep you posted on the quitters

it would be terribly unwise should sen. obama chose hillary as his running mate. i just hope that he does not even consider her. true, with her on the ticket, they may win the general election hands down. but the risks are greater that the benefits. hillary herself did state at one time that electing her is a two-for-one shot with bill clinton in tow. as everyone knows, bill clinton cannot stand being second in command to anyone. he will interject himself constantly with obama's decisions.

as to the threat of almost all of hillary's supporters to vote mccain should she not get the nomination, then so be it. i call them selfish; they only think of their own interests rather than the interest of the party or the interest of the nation. if they want to prolong the agony that the country is going through right now, then so be it, let them elect mccain.

so God help us all.

I think all of the anti Obama – Hillary supporters
are Repubs anyway- dem party doesn't want you or need you.
Times are a – changin

Being a true repub, i would like to see the democrats nominate the weakest candidate.And Mccain want no different.Afterall there is little pressure he can stand at his age.Obama is younger and appeals to a broader section of the population.So he could pose a threat.

We republicans should do all we can to promote the divide in democratic party.

4 more years of same policies – yeah !
Gas prices dont matter for me as i get free gas !
I am rich and i have health care.So do most of my friends.

And this is with O taking incoming from both sides. Folks get on board or be left behind. The world starts changing today!

The Pro- Obama media is at it again.

First they created the perception that Obama was stronger than he was against Clinton. Thus damaging Clinton early on.

Now they are creating the perception that Obama can win against McCain- just to damage McCain's campaign.

Millions of HRC supporters will no longer back Obama after the way the party treated Hillary Clinton.

No election is worth selling your soul for. We will stand for fair elections and equality before we will support a party-installed demagogue.

Because of the ½ year-long Democratic primary- Obama and Hillary got the more media coverage and attention then McCain. As a result- Hillary/Obama’s visions and plans got more publicity then McCain. On the other hand McCain still is seeking his VP; he is not ahead at all. So I think long Democratic primary brought some good for Democratic Party.

OH you OBAMA haters make me giggle…….now run along and play……

Gee, I wonder why we are choosing coke over pepsi? Is it because coke tastes better than pepsi? Or maybe we have been drinking pepsi so long that we now have a fever for the flavor of a nice refreshing coke. Maybe people want CHANGE. Maybe, people are tired of McSAME.
Ya know he's crazy now, McCain. Yep, happened when he endorsed Bush a long time ago. The hypocrisy drove him over the edge. That means politics did what a POW camp could not.
Break John McCain

Yeah. Polls are wrong unless it is used against Obama. Riiiight!

Hahaha, I love reading this ticker, full of delusional left wing nuts for Obama. TRust me, poles and stats we all now depend on who gives them and in what area. Ask Hillary supporters after this week. The Majority of the country want Hillary or Mccain not Obama. Trust me …ask around not just in your own little corner of the world…

I have never thought i would see a day when Americans actually vote for a BLACK man who is half African to become their President. Obama will go down in history for giving hope to the rest of the world that anything is possible. I now believe that people can change and i see change in Americans in this election, i see a nation that want change and know who the right person is to deliver this change.

I applaude Americans of all races for seeing beyond Obamas skin color.

VIVA OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all you Hillary fanatics out there spewing inaccurate information such as Clinton holding the popular vote, need to step back and reevaluate the facts. Obama holds the popular vote. This includes the caucus states, something Clinton excludes. What about counting every vote? Please check your facts!

We can all thank Bush for Obama.

Obama is Al Sharpton in Steve Urkle's Clothes.

Hillary should run as a independent in november

Bill,

There's a big difference between Obama and Colin Powell. Powell worked for the worst president in the history of the USA and was made to look like a fool by him. Powell also ignored his own doctrine about going to war on other countries soil. Powell never stepped up when he could have saved 4000 lives lost in Iraq or never spoke out after he left his post. It took a greedy slime ball press secretary to finally call GWB on his lies. No thanks on Colin Powell Bill he already failed the test.

More electable huh?

lol get the check books out all you rich people are going to pay for screwing us regular people for so long you are going to feel the pain like we have for so long. Go Robin Hood 08

I'm willing to listen to leftists as to why I should vote for Obama instead of McCain. What I'm not willing to listen to is that McCain is just another Bush. If that's all you've got, McCain will win in November.

What do I do??? No matter who I vote for, I'm a Kool-Aid drinking imbecile!

i am more prund of this country today ! usa approved the wrong whats ? the world was talking about the race ! in usa ! economy ? i dont cares i vote for obama just to showing the world we r americans ! we r number 1 in this world we r ready to lead in this world again god bless america god you obama 08

Dude, blogs like this are worthless, full of moles for all three campaigns.

Why does CNN even host this? What a joke.

So.. maybe Hillary isn't the "stronger" candidate unless you only look at those "swing" states and say they are all that matters which goes against her popular vote argument. Oh wait, those arguments aren't suppose to make sense are they? Remember when MI and FL didn't count – oh wait she meant they didn't count until she needed them.

Isn't politics fun? Let's have this over with tonight or tomorrow.

All the way to the White House Obama!

Never, yeah that is part of the poll. He beats McSame even with you voting for McSame you FOOOL!

Even a dog will win on repubs.

FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!

YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL.

Is this a real poll that we can believe in… or just more PRO-Obama media propaganda to boost their idol, Obama?

Just wait until all those voters get into the voting booth alone – no pollsters – no hysterical Obama supporters breathing down their neck, looking over their shoulder to see which name they fill in, in which box they place an x.

Then see what America is ready for.

I just have one request which uses this headline from itunes as an example:
Celebrate Black Music Month
June is Black Music Month. Apple is celebrating by hosting an impressive lineup of hometown blues, R & B, hip hop, jazz, funk, and rock artists performing live in several Apple retail store locations across the country. Check out the store locations and performance schedules, and stop by to see and hear your favorites.

If I vote for Obama can we please bring an end to The Congressional Black Caucus, The American Black Music Awards, Black History Month, Rev. Wright, etc. etc.
I have been hearing about the black experience all my life and I am sick of it! Hello! There are millions of other disenfranchised people living in the US. I will vote for him! Just stop! We are all tired of it dictating our lives! Do you here me Jesse and Al! Let me die in peace foir christ sakes!

Bill,

It took a greedy slime ball press secretary to finally call GWB on his lies. No thanks on Colin Powell Bill, he already failed the test.

I hope this gets posted by CNN but I doubt it I'm not a paid blogger. For everyone who thinks "typical" is a bad word here it is.

typical

Main Entry: typ·i·cal
Pronunciation: \ˈti-pi-kəl\

Etymology: Late Latin typicalis, from typicus, from Greek typikos, from typos model — more at type
Date: 1609

Obama referred to his grandmother as a "typical" regular white person. What's wrong with that.

Interesting thought since there are thousands of us Dems that won't vote for Obama.

You fools just don't believe that millions of us will now vote for OBAMA.
MILLIONS! Do you understand…..MILLIONS! MCCAIN is worthless and I will never vote for him.

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck can beat John Mc Drain…

Wow, Obama supporters talking about McCain, instead of spewing hate and venom at Hillary. I guess the venale, illiterate, uneducated, youthful supporters haven't woken up yet. …Except in Arkansas.

YEA & THAT EDGE IS THE SIZE OF THE GRAND CANYON,

UNLESS THE WORD EDGE HAS CHANGED SINCE I WENT

TO BED YOU NEED TO CHANGE THAT WORD, THERE CNN.

LOVE YOU ANYWAY.

Obama is a master of propaganda.

He speaks some verifiable truth.

Then he starts interjecting lies- and his devout worshippers don't even think to question it.

He learned it from Wright- over the past 20 years. Rev Wright was correct in 90% of his rantings and was TOTALLY lying for the other 10%. But the faithful swallow the lies along with the truth.

That is the power of propaganda: It is all about PERCEPTION, not about truth.

The least qualified candidate is presenting himself as the BEST choice. And the Bitter, angry Americans are SO eager for change, that they are biting.

I am sick and tired of my friend being sent to Iraq for the 3rd time. I am sick and tired of working just to pay the oil companies. I am sick and tired of Bush and Cheney laughing at me (a college grad) with no health insurance. I am sick and tired of not being able to save a dime because every thing cost an arm and a leg. I am sick and tired of not being heard because lobbyists have money to donate and I don't. I am sick and tired of old men making war and for young men like myself to go die in it. I AM JUST PLAIN SICK AND TIRED OF REPUBLICANS…..

period.

A young Democrat in Florida

Wait and take the poll if Obama gets the nomination and then see if he's still ahead. Don't think so. I know where my vote will go.

Gallup Is in bed with zogby. Zogby is Arab. Obama is Muslim. He has made sure that before he is Demoratic nominee, he does not belong to any church, that Christianity does not own him just as much as Muslim may not officially own him. So his Muslim preference will be competitive in his own natural insticts with his adopted Christianity by the time he reaches this milestone in his lifetime. A Black Muslim will be President of the United States…who would have ever thought of that in the USA.

Pretty sad he is pounding McSame when he had all that time to campaign without opposition. McSame has dug himself a grave too deep to get out of. Its ok though because he is ready for it.

It is about time we get done with these primaries and start looking ahead to the GE! democrats must unite, we have to beat McCain. If it werent for a drawn out primary his lead would be much greater!

OBAMA 08

War only solved slavery, genocide, facism, and nazizm. I do believe the jr senator muslim will have us in a blood bath in darfur.

now it's time for americans from ALL parties to focus on defeating mcbush!!!

obama's talk of hope for the future is NOT weak, or naive, or showing inexperience. what's so wrong with feeling hopeful for our futures?!?!?!?!

please put your anger and blind devotion to the GOP aside and think about what YOU truly want for you, your family, and your country. what it is now, which is exactly what mccain pledges to continue, AINT IT!!!! they feed, and get VERY rich by the way, off your unhappiness, stress, anger, etc…

anger and blind devotion to people who dont care about you is total WEAKNESS!! dont give them the satisfaction of controlling YOUR life! remember what cheney said about OUR opinions—"SO?!?!?!?" that says it ALL. mccain = same old depressing bush/cheney way of life.

if you want a better future for yourself, your family, and your country, there is only ONE possible choice—OBAMA!!!!!

"DEMOCRATS IN 08 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It's already been Democrats Baba for what? 18 months.

What's happened?

Not a finger lifted to thwart the mortgage crisis.

Failed promises to get the troops home….meanwhile the troops are kicking rump.

What have the Democrats done in leadership so far?

Nothing

There isnt anything that would change my mind to vote for Obama. He is going to bring corruption and terrorist to a whole new level in politics. Do you all honestly think he got all of his millions from normal contributions?> your all fools if you think that. Do the math. Listen to world news from different countries. I guess i wont be voting in november. Looks like Mccain will walk away from this one.

Obama's lead is only going to increase from here on out….now that we have a Democratic nominee, America is on course for REAL CHANGE this fall!!!!!!!!!!!

"You fools just don't believe that millions of us will now vote for McCain.
MILLIONS! Do you understand…..MILLIONS! obama is worthless and I will never vote for him."

Nice to see that Operation Chaos is still in the house.

*waves to the Dittoheads*

Where are all of the Hillary supporters now??? I thought she was the only one that could beat the Bush protege??? We're with you Obama 100%.

Let's unite and get on the winning team!

OBAMA '08

STAY HOME MICHIGAN

In the recent months of this ongoing battle it's finally good to see it come to a close.

Let's avoid another 4 years of Bush politics despite whether democratic supporters have mixed feelings on the favorite Barack Obama.

Vote For Obama. We can't dumb down again. 8 Years was enough.

John McCain has had the advantage of running against the Democrats for months while the Dems have been running against each other and he still never seems to top the mid-40's in any national poll. The Republican campaign against Obama will paint him as a secret-muslim America-hater because they cannot talk about gas prices, Iraq, the economy, America's standing in the world or anything else that actually matters. Obama will continue to stress the issues. We'll find out in November which message resonates more deeply with voters.

yes, with Obama winning the popular vote (Hillary numbers cite RCP as source but RCP numbers show Obama ahead),

number of contests,

number of pledged and super delegates (even without MI or FL although it is nice to have them onboard although concessions were made by Obama for unity)

AND the polling showing Obama besting McCain even better than HRC, this November will be a November to remember when Obama blows McCain out of the water!

its funny how these complanies pool 1,000 people and say it reporesents 300,000,000 americans

its way to warly to jump to conclusions, and i don't trust the polls. For all we know, Obama could be (and probably is) winning by more right now, but its too early to have any idea how americans are going to vote. Democrats know how to give elections away (2004) and Republicans know how to steal them (2000). also the popular vote doesn't even matter, just ask Al Gore

To Cali-

It may be that the Republicans feel the need to work harder since it's going to take quite a bit of convincing the majority to vote for McCain. Regards all the same.

This is going to be too easy.
1. McCain want to "stay the course" in Iraq
2. He does not support a hugely bi-partisan GI bill
3. His top economic advisor lobbies for big banks and mortgage corps.
4. His healthcare plan is just horrible.
5. His mean streak and bitter attitude will turn off many young voters and women voters.

Polls can say what they want when there friends put them out for them. It's been done all through this campaign. The DNC ruling on Michigan was the straw that broke the Donkey's back for me. I will be voting a straight Republican ticket this November. I suggest the rest of my Michigander do the same…remember the Democrats have been running this state and look at the mess we are in.

i love how the people with names like "Never Obama" or whatever dont have the courage to state there name.

Question when you introduce your wife,sister and cousin IS ONLY ONE PERSON STANDING THERE?

YOU ARE ALL COMICAL JUST REMEBER SUMMER IS COMING MAKE SURE THE AIR IS WORKING IN YOUR TRAILER!!

As I have always said, the polls change like the wind. However, only time will tell if America is truly ready to turn the page on the "Old Washington" and create a fresh start in Washington. We'll see in November.

clinton supporters are pretty bad at math.

The voters put Sen. Obama in this nomination. He played by the rules and the press did not report anything that wasn't true. HRC and her supporters want to claim it was stolen by the super delegates, but you all need to keep in mind that those are the same super delegates you were insisting would choose the right candidate and overturn the popular vote from Obama. The same super delegates you wanted to overturn the pledged delegate lead from Obama…and overturn the state contest lead from Obama.

If you were so keen on them doing their job and using their judgement when it was supposed to give your candidate the nomination and considered it fair game them, why do you consider it a problem now that those same super delegates are "doing their job" as you told them to do….but doing it for the other candidate?

Real Hillary supporters will go over to Obama and increase his numbers even more. McCain is Pro-Life, corrupt, and dedicated to continuing a war that is killing our children. We women need to unite around Obama now. Before it is too late.

Write in Mickey Mouse!

In the recent months of this ongoing battle it's finally good to see it come to a close.

Let's avoid another 4 years of Bush politics despite whether democratic supporters have mixed feelings on the favorite Barack Obama.

Vote For Obama. We can dumb down again. 8 Years was enough.

" I Believe I can Fly " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us all remember that polls are just a snap shot in time and based in no small part on interpretation. If Obama and Clinton can work together to heal the party then victory is almost certain come November. If the divisiveness continues then we will go down in almost certain defeat. So the question is, do the Democrats let hurt feelings, anger, rumor and innuendo determine the next President or do we go on the issues that are important to us?

It is my hope that we can put this primary behind us, come together and put a Democrat in the White House. The time has come to put all the talk of write ins, party desertion and the like behind us. I did not agree with Florida and Michigan and it made me angry, however I will still do everything I can to put a Democrat in the White House. The issues facing this country are far more important to me than my feelings concerning the candidates and the primaries.

That's McWinner to you.

You have to admit that it is amazing with everyone beating the woman up and demanding she gets out of the race, she is still beating McCain. Since they declared her dead in February she has won, Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico; while Obama won Vermont, Mississippi, North Carolina and Oregon.

Amazing woman.

Does CNN have an archive of "unflattering candidate photos" or was this a special occasion?

Obama is going to wipe the floor with McBush so bad. As mentioned if Obama is beating McCain now while bitter Hillary supports are still saying they'll vote for McCain, once they finally come around and realize that the difference between Obama and Clinton is pretty much nothing when it comes to policy and come to this side McCain doesn't have a chance.

actually cali, it's that even life-time republicans can see when they're being $crewed. and that it will only continue with mccain!

I'd rather God call me home early than see Obama Bin Laden as president of this country. It's bad enough the way it is, let's not make it worse.

as a michigan voter with 1/2 a vote,in november i will go 1/2 way to my polling place and turn around and go home

Does Obama really believe Hillary is another Alice Palmer? He's in for a shock. She'll quietly throw sabotage him and destroy his chance; Barak is no Colin Powel. Obama, get ready to join the ranks of Dukakis and Kerry. Hillary will be back

Yeah right….
Obama is riding a long down trend.

We dems will never unite behind this hateful, lying, pandering hypocrit who strong-armed his opponent out of her rightful win.

Barack is on the right track as long as he does not choose hrc as his running mate. hrc bring alot of baggage.

I bet a lot of these comments are from Republicans. How fun.

Hey..if you vote of McSame can you go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot while you're at it? The hole in your foot will hurt a lot less than 4 more years of Bush's war and tax cuts for the filthiest of the rich.

I used to be a dem, now independent.

Voting for McCain and any other candidate running against a dem!

OK, since the longer the democratic nomination contest lasts, the greater the winning margin over McCain gets, why not extend this race to and through the Convention in August? At the current rate, the Dem nominee should be 30-40 points ahead of McCain by then!

Well of course he does, looke at them side by side, Future vs Past.

McCain has an uphill battle. Polls are one thing, but come election day, is the traditional Conservative base of the GOP going to come out and vote for this Republican-In-Name-Only? Will Independents vote for a candidate that's part of the tarnished GOP? And will they come out in numbers sufficient to counter the newly-energized Democratic Party?

After tonight, the numbers will be different, much higher in Obamas favor. Now the Democrats can focus all their attention on MSane. I don't think any intelligent person wants that man in the White House

I THINK….UHHHH, UHHHHH THIS WILL UHHHH, UHHHHH CHANGE IN THE UHHHHHHH, UHHHHHHH VERY NEAR UHHH, UHHHH FUTURE. I HATE WHEN MY TELEPROMTER GOES OUT. OBAMA AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.. UHHH

FINALLY,THE END IS IN SIGHT!!

No more of the rotten, stinking, thieving Bush administration!!

DEMS '08 '12

As a foreigner, it worries me to see the great America consider voting for an anti-American like Obama.

His policies and positions will destroy your great country.

Please beware of the results of your vote!

Clinton didn't win the popular vote. That number comes from disregardingthe caucus states and including Michigan – a big state where Obama wasn't even on the ticket. Clnton had no complaints about the rules until she fell behind. It's bad form to change the rules in the middle of the game. Get over it. This isn't "pick your favorite movie star", It's about our nation.

Chances are we'll see an Obama/Clinton ticket & then a lot of the silly talk on these comments will stop. They are both strong, capable candidates. Quit whining.

You fools just don't believe that millions of us will now vote for McCain.
MILLIONS! Do you understand…..MILLIONS! obama is worthless and I will never vote for him.

McCain should make the following statement:

"Though I want to run for President I am a patriot who wants what's best for America. What America needs right now is Barack Obama. I know I am the presumptive GOP nominee but I am withdrawing from the race and throwing my support behind our new leader, President Barack Obama"

We are a nation of the majority. Together we win, Divided we all loose

McCain is a poor choice.

Obama is the worst choice.

WRITE IN THE BEST CHOICE: HRC.

That will really ROCK the vote and make history.

Unprecedented voice of the people to right the indignity and injustice of the democratic primary.

No to corruption and politics of hate and division.
Yes to fair play, equality and justice.

Fight for your right to vote.

America is in a sticky situation. We will see if Americans are able to look beyond race and save themselves or if they prefer to continue in the same vein.

Bill said, "Clinton ,still garnered the popular vote"

1) The Democratic Primary doesn't have a popular vote, Bill. The system is based on delegates. You want to change the system for next time, go ahead. But you can't change it in the middle of an election.

2) Clinton does not have the popular vote. Who told you that? Oh, wait, it was Clinton. Surprise, she lied to you again. She only has the popular vote when she DOESN'T count all of the caucus states (disenfranchising millions of voters) and not giving ANY of Michigans votes to Obama. I wouldn't call that accurate would you?

BTW – I thought that Hillary is the one suggesting that ALL voters be disenfranchised by having the super delegates determine the winner? How is that not hypocritical, Bill? She says she is against disenfranchisement out of one side of her mouth, and says she is for it out of the other side.

I can't wait to vote!!!

Obama '08

I find it funny how quickly people are willing to overlook or disavow Obama's dual heritage. I've often stated that when the likes of Geraldine Ferraro have claimed that Obama is where he is because he is black are only half right. Remember that Obama is of mixed race.
For those who say that he is inexperienced or lacking substance, I say you make a grave error in judgment. After suffering through eight years of experienced fossils I am ready for someone like Obama who comes with a fresh and refreshing vision of what this great nation can again be. Mr. Obama is no idiot(like our current president), he is a person of great intellect and charisma with the potential to bring about change for the better.

I think it is time for we to come together united so we can beat McCain in the fall. I believe in Obama and i know he is going to bring CHANGE. I can't wait for the fall election once this is over with. Hillary please bow out gracefully and don't spoil this Nov for the party. We have come this far to win.

OBAMA WAS SELECTED,,,NOT ELECTED. BY THE SSD

STUPID SUPER DELEGATES.
I PRAY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENDS, AND I WAS A 20YR STRONG DEM. THEY HAVE SHOWN US THEY ALONG WITH ALOT OF THE MEDIA ,THEY ARE UN-AMERICAN, AND THE PEOPLE DO NOT COUNT, HATE IS WHERE ITS AT!!!!!!!

OBAMA AND CLINTON IF NOT I GO FOR MCAIN AND WHOEVER

We are on the verge of a breakthrough. A new, brighter day is about to dawn for America. After years of darkness and strife, a new, bright star is rising.

There has never been a more significant, more exciting time in American politics and history. We are living through dynamic times indeed.

God IS blessing America. Senator Obama, may the Lord bless you always.

The world is watching America and we Americans are really proud of Barack Obama.

Can someone please inform Hillary about this poll. She still believes that she's a stronger candidate than Obama. If she's a stronger candidate than Obama, why didn't she beat him on Super Tuesday back in February?

If Hillary's supporters prefer to vote for the war instead of Obama, all the Democratic Party has to do is recruit new voters to make up for the 17 million that Hillary holds so dear to her heart. If we thought voter turn out was high for the primaries, wait till we see how many new voters there will be in the general. Over 120 million voted in the 2004 election. We could possibly see 200 million this November. Obama is going to win big with or without Hillary's posse.

The Founding Fathers would be ashamed at how American Values
Courage and Patriotism have become a thing of the past. Reality TV your star has a 5 point lead. It is OBAMA. Shame on you all.

COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW SWEET THIS WOULD BE IF HRC EVER STEPS DOWN!!
Yea, you're right. She'll never step down.

The problem with these polls are that they reflect nationwide support. Unfortunately, these elections are not by popular vote, ask Al Gore. These elections come down to the electoral college, and as such, a national poll is meaningless.

This would make sense. Simple math. Alot of Hillary supporters say she is the only one who can beat McCain ( H > M ). Obama has pretty much won the democratic primary ( O > H ). It is only logical that Obama would lead McCain and beat McCain.

BYE BYE MCBUSH. AS SOON AS OBAMA CLINCHES THE NOMINATION, U DON'T STAND A CHANCE BUDDY!!!

he Founding Fathers would be ashamed at how American Values
Courage and Patriotism have become a thing of the past. Reality TV your star has a 5 point lead. It is OBAMA. Shame on you all.

Once the Clintons stop dividing the party with their obscene narcissism and victimhood…Obama will do just fine.

Polls are simply a snapshot and outdated within days. Notably though, there are other polls showing McCain with 5 percent lead over Obama. Somewhat predictable that CNN chooses the one Obama is leading in. [Yawn].

Obama will never survive the general election politics. He is an empty suit with empty rhetoric…America will see right through him by November.

God has spoken
The Democratic Party has spoken
The people of America have spoken

Obama is the nominee!!!

Obama will win the elections in November

God bless Senator Obama!!

The world leaders are ready waiting for Senator Obama to be our next President of USA, where the peace in this world will begun.

CNN will say anything to get Obama elected. McCain is a war hero, and Obama is not fit to walk in his shadow. Everyone things the women who supported Hillary will flock to Obama, "now, that is a dream."

Colin Powell? isn't he the same guy that lied at the UN ,indicating
Iraq had WMD in trucks and supporting an unjust war?
The guy has no credibility.

Barack had the courage not to support this unjust war.

TO: WAIT UNTIL THE BODY IS COLD…..

ALL DO RESPECT, IT'S BEEN COLD AND OBAMA JUST REWARD IS THE NOMINATION…WHICH SOME NEWS STORIES HAVE SAID HE HAS CLINCHED FROM THE STEADY FLOW OF SUPER DELS….

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA…THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA….

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!

when the general comes around, obama will SMASH mcshame

The real story is Hillary Clinton.

The millions of voters who will write her name in will make History.

SHOCKING!

Obama will never get my vote.

GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA…….I CAN'T TO CALL HIM MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08

YES!

In the link provided, clinton is in better lead than obama over Mccain. Hillary is the most qualified among the two democrats, winning most votes than anybody else in the history (despite all the hype around obama). Also, more importantly, we all know where she stands on issues by looking at her record, nobody knows for sure, where Obama stands on really critical issues, where he never voted. He catches the popular mood and says he would do the same…..
It will be a grave mistake if she is not the nominee for the dems. Go Hillary – 08 & 12 or 12 & 16

My guess…Obama over McBush by 24 pts in November

FORGET HILLARY AND BILL AND HOPEFULLY THE DAUGHTER WILL STAY OUT OF POLITICS

I just decided to check the public's comments, and wow! Look at all of the Democrats that are screwing around and blogging while all of the Republicans are hard at work!

Hooray !! The corrupt media and the dumb DNC has picked their man !!

Be proud of your " empty " win Hussein Obama.

The world is laughing.

Obama 08 – Let's Go DEMOCRATS TIME TO PUT ALL THIS BEHIND US AND GET HIM ELECTED

the time for change has come.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Billary,

Every vote counts right? Thats the democratic way right? How can we call ourselves democratic otherwise? Well riddle me this cat women, how democratic is it to have an election with only one person on the ballot? How delusional are you people. Do you really think Clinton should get all the votes and Obama get none of them? Did you see those crazy people in the lobby out of the meeting? Fair is fair and you know it. She has not won the popular vote she has run a great campaign though. Stop ruining it with outlandish math that does not make any sense.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And the loser- HRC- has basically the same edge.

Why did we need any primary?

We could have drawn straws and been in the same place.

ANY democrat is better than ANY republican.

We need polls and elections?

Just hang in there, Barack supporters. This lead will increase as the months go by, however I hope and pray that his body guards are going to take more precautions. I won't trust anyone. Barack and his family will have to be looking over their shoulders from here on.

I pray every day that no harm comes to them.

Wait till Hillary's supporters back McCain. They're not going to support Obama who is yet to prove himself in any major State.

Wow — a poll in June. Things can change in a New York minute the way things are in this country.

Wasn't Kerry ahead of Bush 17 points two weeks before the election in 2004?

Polls are about as objective as the media is today!

In other words, don't believe everything you read!

"I'm the stronger candidate based on the polls!"

NO MORE BUSH!! NO MORE BUSH!!! NO MORE BUSH!!!

OBAMA 2008!!

YES WE CAN!!!

AP IS REPORTING OBAMA HAS CLINCHED THE NOMINATION!!!!

People you just don't get it. Millions of Hillary supporters in KEY STATES will vote for McCain…Pa., Fl. Mich. and Ohio. Hello!!!! Electoral!!!! Let's just stop right now with the "old" cracks. Hillary was laughed at because of her make-up and clothes, and yes, unbelievably as being old. Even though she looks better than most women who are younger. No one made fun of how Obama and his wife look!!!!

It's over MCSLAIN!!!!!

The game just began. Let us not alarm. We know that the polls will keep rising and falling until November. However, it is a good start. congratulation President Obama.

I agree, lets us see. How long before the racism sneaks into the discourse and is there enough of it there (or xenophobia) to define us again as a nation of backwood morons?

Just wait til around OCT !!!! Being old….EXPIERENCE …..counts if you have been very successful not only acquiring it ….but also how you use it!!! I am afraid that the war , and lack of strength on economic issues really brings much to the table nor…….much to brag about ones experience. I think OBAMA will do just fine when compared to John. Obama will blow him out of the water.

Lest we forget all you Hillarites – she was the more electable candidate! Once the general gets started the gap will grow. Nothing about McCain inspires me.

Even CNN…… Cannot. Deliver… John McCain will reign in 2009…. I Can… Predict…. Obama's wife should buy him a Christmas Present Early this Year… Like a pair of Running Shoe's. He will need them after November… to escape CNN…..

A joint ticket with both would give the Dems control again.

…as I finish listening to "Rush" today I can only LOL.

ALL the caucasion community is having trouble with the thought of OBAMA being Mr. President. Well,…welcome to how the libb's felt when "W" came to power!!

>>>STRIKE-UP THE MUSIC….

OH NO ! Americans seem to be leaning towards a message of HOPE over a third Bush term.

Wait until they get in that voting booth all alone – no pollster – no hysterical Obama supporter breathing over their shoulders. Then see how it comes out.

Polls change weekly. But for some reason, I think Obama just might win this fall. McCain just doesn't seem to be as presidential.

If Obama is going to be the nominee, I think Clinton supporters had better prepare for more disappointment. Hillary as VP just simply would not go over well with Independents. Unless, she does something to change that mindset………..

And this is only the beginning. McShame has been getting a free ride due to the ongoing democratic primaries and now that we are almost through, his campaign needs to brace itself for something huge coming their way. It is the will of the people, it is the Obama Nation. Watch out McShame, the Bush's twin brother.

Obama won't have this edge for long.

Stop believing those polls. The sample is 560 who are being called.
I have never being called. Do you?

I'm voting for Obama for one reason only……I choose diplomacy over war

The right speach by Hillary will double Obama's lead.

Well TEX if Americans are smart they had better put this racist stuff behind them or there will be 4 or get this even eight more years of WAR, HIGHER GAS PRICES, and no where to go but deeper in DEBT with more of the same GW POLITICS!!!!!

If those HRC supports think they will be better off with MCBUSH still giving the RICH TAX BREAKS and the MIDDLE hauling the load and the POOR getting POORER let them vote for MCBUSH and see where they will be this time next year!!!

Um, out of curiosity, how did Obama "steal" the Senate election? Blair Hull was the obvious choice for the Democratic nod, with Daleycrat (that's one of Mayor Richie Daley's "Democrats") Dan Hynes right up there. Obama came out of nowhere to win.

Then, in the general, it was the GOP, not Obama, that took their phenomenal candidate, Jack Ryan, and replaced him with a moron, Alan Keyes.

If you're going to comment, for God's sake, at least know your history.

Now that Clinton is out of the way…It's McCains turn. Look out her comes Obama!!!!!

Obama is 17 million strong an counting

Who is Barack Obama?

While all the rhetoric flies around without any reason behind it, it is important to note that Alex from TX mentioned…

Even with all of the claims that Clinton backers will vote for McCain, this poll suggests support for Obama is still good enough to at least give McCain a run for his money – and that is before Clinton has even conceded. And vice-versa.

What it means is that the Democratic primary has not necessarily destroyed the Democrats chances in Nov, so there is no reason to revile either Obama or Clinton for what has happened in the primary with regards to the GE. Both are still strong candidates, and while Obama will almost certainly be the nominee, Obama supporters should cool their jets…

CLINTON SUPPORTERS:
She didn't win the popular vote- GET OVER IT. The way she thinks she won is not counting causes states— which by the way are millions of people.

Obama 08-12

wow, people are disillusioned by this whole thing. And for those of you who like to write this "doom and gloom" warning stuff about obama or clinton or mccain, what are you talking about? Specifics are magnificent creatures, use them.

Forget the chickens coming home to roost.

This is the sheep: Blaraaack…Blaraacck…Blahrack

Who is the one leading the bleating?

It should be Obama/Clinton 08′

BILL…FYI U WOULD HAVE NEVER LIKED COLIN POWELL! DO NOT PRETEND OR LIE. YOU ARE THE KIND WHO PRENTED TO LIKE WHAT DOES NOT EXIST…STOP IT!!!!!!

I am Sen. Clinton supporter. And Sen. Obama is a winner. So I WILL VOTE for Sen. Obama.
I love my country and I say NO, NO, NO to McCain.

Please, Clinton supporters… just one question… What do you love more – your country or Hillary Clinton?

Good luck!

As soon as the true discourse about the McCain record is allowed to begin in earnest, you will see that lead increase. John McCain changed after 2000 when he stopped speaking out against Pres. Bush. There used to be larger differences between he and "W". The Bush Administration and the Republican party made some kind of a deal with him to shut up and tow the party line or else. Scott McClellan knows that all too well.

Any Clinton supporters who say they will back McCain if she is not the presidential candidate should have their heads examined and look at the big picture of what a McCain presdiency would mean to this country. FOCUS!!!!

Do you remember Reps when I said to you guys an AWFUL long time ago??? You know, that you guys(Reps) should thank my boy "Honest Abe" for being a Republican. Do you guys remember that??? Well, it seems to me that it might be deja vu all over again……but this time is a Dem! LOL!!!! And he's a Senator! LOL!!!! It seems like the "gods" have something in place……and by the way, I know something about the "gods", LOL!!!! And nope, I'm not telling my secrets……..and boy, do I have plenty that I believe will get people's attention.

You see, who said fate is not scientifically proven because last time I checked, yes it is……….

You need help Reps, I could make you guys look good….with a price! LOL!!!

Probably because there's some talk about Hillary Clinton joining the Obama ticket. So she's still VERY MUCH in play.

On which planet does this happen – aren't you folks jumping the gun? Please stop force feeding Senator Obama to us!!! I know he is the darling of the Main Stream Media, but please give us a break!

Simply put, McCain CAN'T win!

Consider America, what your country will be like under either candidate.

Who will raise taxes and inflation and who won't.

Who will balloon the welfare state and who won't

Who will conduct an effective war on terror and who won't.

Who believes in the american virtues of individual responsibility, and getting to reap the fruits of your hard labor, and who doesn't.

Who believes in locking up criminals and securing the borders, and who doesn't.

Who will appoint activist judges to legislate from the bench, and who won't.

Who will punish you for succeeding and who won't.

Who will drive wealth and capital to foreign nations, and turn the US into the granary of Asia and Europe, and who won't.

Who will gut the country's defenses and who won't.

When you consider these things, the choice is pretty clear.

Go McCain, the new Ronald Reagan

Am I late or are the HRC supporters just RACIST punks??

It is amazing to me how so many of the Clinton supporters do not like Obama. So much so that they are willing to vote for someone who seems to be a carbon copy of Bush, whose tenor has been two (2) wars , lol, tax exemptions for the RICH, the highest oil prices ever, job losses and the WORST economic "SLOW DOWN"…lol ever. As I have watched this nomination race Obama has been nothing but a gentleman, stating their differences, YES, but nonetheless a gentleman.

I remember watching a debate between the two candidates and at the end, they both stood up at averagely the same time and Obama pulled out Clinton's chair. I thought it was amazing because he was intent on clapping and waving to the crowd but he still performed the act all so effortlessly without a thought, like blinking. I thought, when was the last time I saw that or have it happen to me….lol….and I couldn't remember.

We have this saying "Cut your nose to spoil your features". The old folks are very wise. So to all those Clinton supporters who cannot bring strong evidence of Obama the "wolf in sheep's clothing", if you cut your nose you may just bleed to death.

Judge A Man By The Promises He Has Made & Kept.

Um Bill:

Just because you don't bother to research anything that doesn't involve Fox News about the Democratic candidate doesn't mean you can say he's an enigma. Read for yourself and you can figure out who Obama is. Furthermore, just because Colin Powell is black, doesn't mean he's a proper substitute for Obama. In case you didn't notice, Powell is a Republican, and while he is generally more rational than the other Republicans currently in the administration, he is still no Barack Obama.

Well he may be ahead now, but not for long, it shouldnt be too long till he goes and has another thing about him come out.
I bet he would get a lot more votes, if Obama would just not say anything!
*McCain 08*

Can any one tell me why Mccain always talk about iraq war,isreal ,hamas war and not the problem we have here at home?

Say no to Bush's 3rd term.

No more war in Iraq, no to overturning Roe vs Wade, no to starting Cold War part 2, no to lobbyists and corruption

It seems that super-delegates re finally coming out – Jimmy Carter just declared… keep it up, SDs…

Obama's speech tonight will show just how different this candidate is compared to McBush – he's ARTICULATE (for one thing), respectful, open to ideas and not claiming to know the truth the way that cranky old McCain does.

This country – heck, the world – wants to see change in America. We can make this country a better, less aggressive place.

Yes, we can.

Is this the ONE poll we should finally believe?

After all, all the polls so far have been worthless predictors.

Sorry folks, polls make no sense because it depends on (a) The questions asked (b) Who were asked. (c) Were those people truthful?

What makes sense will be the final tally of the votes.

Bush swift boat McCain in 2000
Bush swift boat Kerry in 2004

Now we have McCain acting as if he is in the pocket of Bush even though the hate runs deep. McCain wants to continue with the Bush failed policies and he knows there are a lot of Americans who can be conned into believing and voting for him.

The sad part is that most of these people are the same ones who lost their homes and children. No wonder why so many are under achievers. The hard working under paid, under educated people who prefer to watch Nascar instead of picking up a book.

Clinton Supporters,

I mean this in the most respectful way, as I am an Obama Supporter, I am also a big fan of Clinton, and to trump both I am a Democrat. I just want to point out that a week ago this was one of Senator Clinton main arguments to the SD's, and it has changed, of course, according to one poll. Also, the popular vote argument is just as un democratic as not talking about it. To claim certain states and not others, based on a Primary that both candidates agreed to well before it started, well you just can't do that. I want to see these two together, I want to see them quickly, knock the GOP back a little bit, could you all imagine a joint ticket with these two and after months McCain still doesn't have a VP, what a move that would be!

DEMS UNITE, WE MUST, FOR OUR NEIGHBORS, FOR OUR CHILDREN, FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody is lying. Gallup polls today on the gallup website shows McCain ahead of Obama 46% to 45% and Hillary ahead of Mccain %46 to 45%.

Who in the right mind is going to vote for McBush (Mccain). The only people who will vote for Mccain are those who like to see America divided for only for thier own benefit to name a few Foxnews the right wing , all the idiots who work for Foxnews are told what to say if they do not follow the order they will be fired it they are fired who in the right mind would hire them they are a bunch of idiots.

That's it.

Swing from far right to far left.

Forget the great inbetween where dialogue and compromise and solutions are found.

as much as i am starting to dislike hil i really think she should go together..a huge portion of the country voted for her and i think the difference is not substantial enough to really separate the two.. her as vp would really help the party come together..
her as my vp is MUCH MUCH better than mccain as my pres.

Obama poll ratings can only go up against McCain.
Obama will be the next President of The United States come November.
Progressive change is coming to town.
Obama 08

What? You mean Barack Obama is actually the stronger candidate against John McCain? Have you cleared this information with Hillary's people?

OBAMA08.

see that eternal pointing finger of barak in that pic, well, thatls what all you obama supporters will be getting soon, it's all your fault he will tell you, you have to be like me and michelle or you cant be a part of America LOLOLOLOLOLOL

This poll was done while HRC is still running. With Hilary out I see McCain winning the margin.

Bush brought the country too far right.

Americans are disappointed and bitter and angry.

The solution is the left wing nut case Obama.

Swinging from right to left.

Thank God for Guns… we may need to protect our democracy from totalitarian rule.

Imagine where the numbers will be AFTER he has a chance to campaign for the General Election?!?! What an exciting and promising time we are in! WOW!!!!

Skin color or Race doesn't matter,… we are all sweating…. high gas price, high food price, martgage crisis… We would all be super stupid to let unimportant issues determine our choice of votes rather than our everyday issue….

McCain doesnt have a chance in _____ at winning. Once the Democratic party unites….and it will….the Bush era will end and the new politics will take over.

For a better future>>>>

OBAMA 08

why arent my posts getting through? i'm not using any bad words.

A media outlet not under the thumb of the DNC saying Obama is the best chance to beat McCain? Blasphemy! The fact of the matter is, it's true. I started this primary season as a HRC supporter and I will still vote for her if she happens to get the nod…but Barack Obama is our best chance to take the White House this Fall. Hillary supporters…please sheath your swords. Senator Obama has not stolen the election…simply put…more people voted for him. He didn't win rigged elections or win flawed caucuses….More people voted for his message and that's it. PLEASE consider his policy when voting in November….he and Clinton agree in some form on EVERY important issue. McCain is a flip-flopping radical who will do WHATEVER it takes to woo voters. He is running on a totally different platform than he did in 2000 because it didn't work last time…he's kissed the rears of the evangelicals…flipped on his pro-choice, pro-gay marriage stance because it alienated him from the conservative base. He is strictly a politician who will say anything and DO anything to win. Don't fall for his propaganda. Please.

Obama/Clinton '08 & '12

He will crush McCain!

Ha! McCain has months to solidify his base, raise money, and beat down Obama from both sides, and still, what happens? Republicans, the more you know, the less you'll want McCain. Come to the side of reason!!

Democrats '08…try us, you'll like us.

Ding dong the Witch is Dead.
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!

CNN enjoys such news when Obama is ahead. Just wait and watch. November is quite near. John McCain will hav landslide vistory. Obama has no character and no accomplishments. It looks like thos who comment here including CNN are brain-washed by Barack Hussein Obama. Why doesn't he get rid of his name 'Hussein'? Is he real Christian? Anyway he has to deal with it but Barack, just go away. You are not fit to be our president. I want to wacth how CNN deals with my comments. perhaps it will be deleted.

CNN , Stop your pro-Obama bais. It is going to hurt your candidate and you in general election.
I am (sorry was) democrat Now watching FOX news ONLY

You guys on the CNN are liars, Senator Hillary Clinton beats Senator MacCain more than 4 points, do me a favor just double check and correct the mistake, Senator Obama is the weaker candidate to beat Senator MacCain, I know you guys are Pro-Obama I don't know how much Senator Obama pay u guys, but put the information correct, thank you.

Up till now, there's really not been a direct focus on John McCain who's been enjoying a free ride while Obama and Hillary have slugged it out.
But now the dynamics will change. A direct match between Obama and McCain will reveal how vulnerable McCain is.

The Republicans have been giving Hillary favorable media – Carl Rove's praises, Bill O'Reiley's interviews, FOX News positive spins about Hillary – all because they know McCain's worst nightmare – Obama!

Even the owner of FOX News knows it.

McCain – today is the day you've always dreaded! Obama gets the nomination.

This same USA Today/Gallup survey showed both Gore and Kerry beating Bush. Isn't anyone else keeping score?

I really want to state my opinion on those that say: McCain has more experience than Obama. I guess G. Bush had experience before he became the President , right?. Well ,something amazes me about the supporters of McCain. If G. Bush had all the experience why then did he run the country to the GROUND. Our country is in Penury. Can someone educate me on this issue PLEASE? May be I am out of touch with reality.

its a moot point til after the convention.

Well, it will be like 80 percent for McCain and 20 percent for Obama if this Michelle Obama racist video actually exists, which, if it does, will Obama leave his wife just like he left his church?

The democrats are in trouble right now. Obama has no chance of beating McCain in the election. Hillary does have a shot. No one really knows about Obama. He makes good speeches, but are speeches enough? Maybe when you're wooing people of your own party they might be, but what happens in the general election when people care about views, and the only word Obama can get out of his mouth is "change."

We hear all about the gaffes of McCain, but wait until the Obama ones surface. Just the other week, Obama said he's been to 57 states, and he thinks he only has 1 left to visit. And last year Obama reported that a Tornado in Kansas killed 10,000 people and destroyed an entire town. Where did he get those numbers? 12 people died in that tornado, and an entire city was not destroyed.

The democratic party's only chance is for Hillary to stay in the race and be the nominee. People are riding on the Obama bandwagon right now, but once that bandwagon hits a big bump, a whole lot of people are going to fall out of it.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
YEA BABY!!!!!!

NOW THAT THE DEM RACE IS OVER, PEOPLE WILL OPEN THEIR EYES TO MCBUSH AND KNOW THEY DO NOT WANT 4 MORE YEARS IF HELL IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all Hillary Supporters:

And why can't Obama beat McCain? And don't say that there are SO many ex Hillary supporters that are willing to switch over to McCain, that it will turn the tides of the election. Not true!

The truth is Obama has more popular vote, more delegates and more sd's. . . . . and is very electable.

All of Hillary's mind games (read: lies) failed.

A similar poll conducted by USA Today/Gallup last month showed John McCain beating both candidates — a potential sign the ongoing Democratic presidential race has not hurt the party's chances in November

is this a typo

Funny Obama's supporters dismiss Hilary;s argument that she has the popular vote among democrats saying that is not how the system works. Those same supporters now cling to the fact that he is edging McCain out in the popular vote, well here is a hint, that is not how it works. Gore lead Bush in the popular vote but lost because of the states.

He needs Hilary, and her supporters more than ever or he will lose and the Obamniacs, will have no one to blame but themselves. For all of you using nasty language to describe Hilary and telling her to get out so you can unite the party. That kind of attack allienates her supporters and splits the party, so I hope you realize the irony. Her supports want her, just like Obama's supporters want him, she promised to see this to the end, which is today and now she will pick the best time to bow out.

THAT CANT BE TRUE ACCORDING TO HRC FANS SHE IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE PARTY AND THE ENTIRE WORLD !!

AS I SAID YESTERDAY IF YOU HRC FANS WHAT TO VOTE MCCAIN GO AHEAD AND DO IT.

DONT TALK ABOUT IT …BE ABOUT IT!

You sore losers !

Just wait until the media starts focusing more attention on all of Mcsame's flaws. He hasn't even been fully vetted yet, since he has been campaigning unopposed for months in his party.

Obama will eat McSame for lunch in a head on debate. After all, he is a product of Chicago politics (smile).

This is the year of the Democrat.
GOP Beware……….

You know I bet this poll include's all the clinton supporters that hate Obama as well…

The only way Mccain will win imo is if clinton supporters put em over the top but I wonder, if this include's them then not even that will be enough (I pray).

Stay the Course with John McCain!

OOOPSSS! You would think this would silence the Whiners but here we go!!! 3-2-1

OBAMA CAN'T WIN!!!

heh heh you people are funny.

As i said…
The Country is in such a bad way, that Obama can sleep-walk his way to the white house.

He was able to sleep-walk his way to the democratic nomination.

We know that it is not about qualifications, experience, policy, or any track record.

It is won by playing the race card and delivering lofty speeches.

After all, Americans will not vote republican this time around.

And this number will climb and climb and climb as the months go on. John McCain will not be President. There are racist who will not vote for black man. We already know that..West V and Kentucky proved that fact. But Obama will win the general. We will not watch him cut the throat of this country and I'm tired of watching young people being shipped home in boxes from the middle east. I will not stand by and watch McCain contribute to the death and destruction of our young.

Just wait until the media starts focusing more attention on all of Mcsame's flaws. He hasn't even been fully vetted yet, since he has been campaigning unopposed for months in his party.

Obama will eat McSame for lunch in a head on debate. After all, he is a procuct of Chicago politics (smile).

This is the year of the Democrat.
GOP Beware……….

too bad these polls dont really reflect the electoral collage in november, which the democrats will lose if they pick weakling phoney Obama. he just wants to eat his waffle, not be president.

I don't believe you CNN. You only show the polls that advantage Obama everytime you post one. What is the sample size? 50? Which states were polled CA, OR, and SC?

All of you Obama supporters who keep trying to scare women with Roe V. Wade, well black women get 33% of the abortions in America when blacks are only 12% of the population.

I guess they should have voted Hillary after all.

Vote McCain!!!!

If Hillary is not on the ticket as VP I predict. After all the votes have been counted on November 5,2008 McCain will be elected by a landslide.Obama did not win this primary season.The super delagates gave it to him.Race will play a big part in November.Their will be many states that will never vote for a Black man to run our country.Oprahs boy will just have to wait for another year.Gee,that means the Rev Wright will no get that invite for dinner at the White House .

OBAMA WILL LOOSE IN NOV. IF HE IS OUR NOMINEE. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS.HE NEEDS HRC OR HE LOOSES. YOU HATERS CAN SAY WHATYOU WANT.ITS THE REASON WHY YOUR CANIDATE IS GOING TO GET CRUSHED IN NOV.IF YOU SAY HE DONT NEED HRC FOR ALL HER SUPPORTERS ,THAN YOU ALL ARE STILL BRAINWASHED AND LIVING IN YOUR FANTASY WORLD WITH YOUR CANIDATE.YOU WILL SEE WHEN WE ALL VOTE FOR MCCAIN.O.B. ISN'T QUALIFIED OR HAVE ANY KNOW HOW TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.WE KNOW HRC HAS THE CREDENTIALS AND HAS BEEN AROUND WASHINGTON AND HAS THE KNOW HOW TO GET WHAT WE NEED.WE SEE WHAT KIND OF CHANGE HE HAS BROUGHT.HATE,RACIST,AND DIVISION. IT SHOWS EVERYDAY IN HIS SUPPORTERS.HE SPEAKS CHANGE AND TAKES US BACK 100YRS. OR MORE.IF HISTORY NEEDS TO REPEAT ITSELF,PUT ANOTHER CLINTON IN OFFICE.THE 90S WERE PRETTY GOOD WHEN WE HAD A CLINTON RUNNING OUR COUNTRY.

Obama supporters seem to forget that he didn't win this nomination by a landslide nor does he have a mandate from the Democratic Party. HRC supporters make up roughly 50% of the party. Obama supports need to be more gracious and not nearly as hateful if they want unity in November. I personally am having a really hard time considering voting for Obama in the Fall and I know he would make far better Supreme Court nominees. I just feel that the media annointed him winner and the rest of us were told to shut up, get out but don't forget to vote democratic in the Fall. Considering her support, HRC has every right to be on the ticket as VP if she wants to be.

so much for who could beat McCain in May/early June this is going to be long fight and both sides will be up and down in the polls to all
Hillary support who say that they will vote for McCain because she did not win that is your right as a citzen but can you really live with yourself for what happens to the country and the courts and to the working men and women?

There goes HRC argument that she is better positioned to beat McBush in November. Time to bow out HRC.

Imagine what Americans would think if they were allowed to truly see Senator McCain for what his is; and being exposed under the same way as Senator Obama. McCain is a Fraud and we see that soon.

Wishful Thinking…the lies you tell. The only number that matters come Nov. is 270. Barack ain't gettin IT.

An Ape could out-poll the republicans.

It is not that Obama is good.

It is that America is tired of Republicans.

Obama can win by default.

He won his senate seat that way

Really…..This is suspicious…as usual the media eversince are all pro-Obama. Shame on all of you…

Way to go President Hillary!!!!

We are so ready for this ANIMAL THUGZ and this dead man walking

I see the poll trolls are at it again…….but when the general election is held and the Hillarites come out in force………well, that might be the beginning of the end for Obama……and the Hillarites are going to get even, even if it means four more years of a Bush derivative administration.

Who are you polling?
Obama is losing the support of democrats daily.

When asked, if she would vote for Hillary Clinton, were Clinton the nominee of the democratic party, Michelle Obama said that she would have to think about it.

By the logic of the Obama supporters, that would make Michelle not a TRUE democrat, and a traitor to her party and her country. I guess she deserves all the hater labels of racist, selfish, ignorant, mindless, stupid, inbred, moron, murderer etc etc..

Well, all you Obama supporters accepted Michelle's opinion without question and without any criticism.

Obama supporters have repeatedly shown "contempt and astounding ignorance toward their own countrymen" with the comments they post on these blogs. Cheney had to oplologize for HIS similar but not nearly as distasteful WV in-breeding comments. The Obama camp has insulted in vulgar and filthy ways, women, Latinos, the elderly, the poor whites, those lacking a college degree, Puerto Ricans, Ohioans, West Virginians, and HRC herself. Who would vote for the candidate such HATERS purport to support and obviously follow so blindly?

Obama has edge over McCain…. and he hasn't even campaigned against him yet. What happens when we go after McCain on issue after issue, after issue?

thats right you go obama we need you to tear that man apart i knew the super delgates were smart for endorsing you they know whos strong enough to beat mccain go get him obama keep him away from your white house the polls are only gonna get stronger for obama

Let us see how america is going to handle this election.

Imagine what his lead will be if Hillary goes away.

Why they dont tell him to throw the towel in, why she should?

Now can everyone shut the hell up about this?

Good, that means we dont need those stuffy Clinton supporters. We don't know how much we can trust them anyway. Especially the one that just got her new Independance Party ID Card. If Hillary wanted to be president she should not have voted for the war or lied about Bosnia.

These polls don't mean anything right now.
Keep in mind the General Election is still 5 months away.

To put this timeframe in perspective; 5 months ago Hillary was still the "frontrunner" to be the Democratic nominee. And we all know what has happened since then….

I THOUGHT PEOPLE WAS SAYING IF ABOMA WAS THE NOMINEE THAT HE WOULD LOSE TO McCAIN WITHOUT HILLARY I GUESS YA'LL WAS WRONG AGAIN

That will drastically increase in the weeks to come resulting in an Obama victory. McBush is tied directly to Bush with the war and all the the other Bush policies and programs that over 80% of Americans believe to be in the wrong direction. McBush is tied directly the most unpopular Prasident in American history. McBush and GOP supporters think their karl Rove tactics are going to work as in the past. The America people have believe "a change is goin' to come" and sweep out the rascals.

We all know that those Gallup surveys can be made to deceive or are not published until the right time. In other words, they are usually a perfect tool for misleading the public. I remember just last month the Gallup reported the same finding for Hillary. This was and is bogus data, and I'm an Obama supporter. It is a good sign however, because maybe it means that the party is changing and putting their support behind Obama.

MR McCAIN
START A RETIREMENT FUND AND I WILL DONATE MONEY TO YOU

ONLY IF YOU GETB AN AGREEMENT CINDY CAN'T TOUCH IT

Obama will have no disenfranchisements on McCain. He'll have to win it outright,and he hasn't done that ,yet ,with Clinton.Clinton ,still garnered the popular vote,even with almost every State giving him a "Golfer's Handicap". Everyone might as well admit it! Although,I think America is ready for an African-American President,Obama is just not cut out of the cloth that it is going to require for one to win. Colin Powell would have tucked this thing away months,ago. He is well known and respected! Obama is an enigma!

Congrats to the press for putting the final nail in Senator Clinton's coffin. Now what could they possibly talk about? Just wait..Obama will get his just reward..

You know, Obama said the same "good public servant" speech to Alice Palmer too…right before he stole the senate election.

Buyer beware.

Just say no to a Bush third term!

So even before Obama begins campaigning to the 50% of democrats supporting Hillary, he still beats McCain. Once Hillary steps forward and endorses Obama, hopefully most Hillary supporters will support Obama and he will blow him out in November.

Go Dems Go…McCraack get ready to check in to your old age home

So tell me again… who is more electable? Obama appears to be doing just fine.

The polls say one thing and the reality is that Barack Hussein Obama will NOT win against McCain unless Hillary Clinton is on the ticket!

Hillary Clinton is still the strongest person to beat McCain in November and is able to take back the White House.

Barack Hussein Obama is the weakest person to win, so if the Democrat Party wants to re-take the White House, then they need to make sure that Hillary Clinton is on the ticket!

until the Hilla maniacs roll over YOU OBAMA

VOTE MCCAIN IF HILLARY DOESNT WIN 08

YEA BABY!!!!!!

NOW THAT THE DEM RACE IS OVER, PEOPLE WILL OPEN THEIR EYES TO MCBUSH AND KNOW THEY DO NOT WANT 4 MORE YEARS IF HELL IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is not surprising, and if hillary will move out of the way, we can begin to making sure mcsenile doesn't get anywhere near the whitehouse.

I thought Hillary was the stronger candidate?

Bull. Now the media is going to start hyping him up for the presidential election. I won't vote for him period.

Hillary can make it shes the only one who can beat Mcain!

McShame is TOAST………….

It is time to end the failed policies of George Bush (AKA John McCain).

Unite for America's future! Obama 08!!!
