CNN

The polls show these numbers because not every American is a rock star groupie. Many internet users are younger, liberal folks who of course like Obama. Older Americans understand that we need someone in the White House who can actually get stuff done – get programs enacted. Obama probably won't be able to do that. Why? He's the most liberal Senator right now (based on voting records since he started). Republicans will not work with someone like Obama. You may like his ideas, his looks and his speeches, but all that won't count for much next January. Then he's actually got to work with both sides of the aisle to get work done. McCain on the other hand may not have the snazziest ideas, is not the greatest orator and may in fact be an inferior candidate, but he's got at least one BIG advantage over Obama. He's got friends on both sides of the aisle. And he's been there 25 years. He'll get stuff done because he knows how to, and he's got friends. Obama's got none of this. If you want to see things get done over the next 4 years – vote for McCain. If you want a defacto lame-duck president who looks good, speaks well and has some snazzy ideas, vote for Obama.

Write in Hillary.

She is no Bush (right winger)
And she is no Obama (left winger)

McCain, ONLY if HRC can not be written in.

Conscience over pressure.
Ethics over party loyalty
Truth over corruption
Liberty over dictatorship

Words of advice to Obama: Speak softly and carry a big stick (now that you have one to wave around)! How sweet of that 95-year young man.

And, oh by the way, this 30 year democrat will not vote for Obama just because the DNC chose him over the voice of the people. i found him lacking and he remains lacking. He is still the same flawed, tainted figure he was prior to Tuesday.
NOBAMA!!

After months of hating Hillary and blogging on their differences...

The new propaganda is that since they are so similar, HRC supporters MUST vote Obama.

Principles over Party.
Ethics over loyalty.
Fair and free elections over fixed primaries.

I did not vote for Bush either time... BUT I'll suffer the 3rd Bush over anointing a dictator.

The Democrats have managed to shoot themselves in the foot one more time. Of course Obama cannot win, do you really think women are going to lay down one more time for the DNC and their crap? Most of us are headed over to join Johnmccain.com. I bet he will be happy to have us along on his team.

Kenneth, go back to school. The word you need is talons, not talents. Stupid.

Why settle for a mere, messy democracy with fair elections when you can simply install the perfect Obama?

I have likewise been some what amazed by the close elections and close polls between the two partary platforms.

I feel that Obama and Clinton shared a united win in that they really shared the same ideas all along, with only minor differences.

The main differences were in race and gender.

But the differences between Obama and McCain are a lot more apparent when it comes to policy making, although McCain is working hard to close that gap.

No one I know was ever contacted by one of those poll takers nor have I been. I wonder if they keep asking the same people who have signed up for that duty?

I think the polls show that we have a equal gap between those who are well off economically or expect such, and those who are poor or feel they might become that way due to current events. One half wants to secure their economical status and the other half is hoping for a little help from Uncle Sam.

Religion might be an aspect because it might be half the people feel their religious objectives are not being listened too and the other half does not wish to be controlled by religious objectives – mandatory morality standards or whatever.

Tio those who did not belive he could outdo Clinton yesterday and
those do not believe he could win over McCain today, I say

Obama will have a landslide victory in November!

THE CLINTONS HAVE BEEN MORE SUCESSFUL IN

DEMORALIZING,DIVIDING & DIMINISHING THE DEMOCRATIC

PARTY SINCE THEIR STAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THAN

ANY REPUBLICAN EVER HAS.

TIME TO DIMINISH THEM.

I am tired of democracy

Give Obama a chance.

Lets worship our annointed supreme leader.

I'm tired of Democracy

Vote for change

Let's try Marxist, socialist dicatorship where the revered leader rules the minds and souls of his followers.

To all those who feel the need to take up this space with your racist comments I say to you–be thankful.

It is because of our servicemen and women who are currently serving and veterans like myself that you have the right to post your ignorant comments.

It must really be bothering you to know that your buddy McCain doesn't stand a chance against Obama. Start stock ing up on your kleenex.

"Veterans for Obama"

As a LIFELONG Democrat, who has contributed nearly $1200 to Hillary Clinton's campaign, I just sent my first (of many to come) contributions to John McCain. Does that tell you anything? It SHOULD tell you that voters will now have to choose for real who is the best and most experienced person for the job of President of the United States. I'll take a true American hero any day over an inexperienced "green" orator!

The BO campaign and the DNC have yet to make the case as to why
the voters should choose BO and the Democtratic party for the White
House.

Their drum beats have all been about why voters should not choose
JM and the Republican party. That is not going to be enough in
November.

In this primary, the DNC has demonstrated that it is unfit for the
White House, and BO has demonstrated that he is an empty suit
with a lot of baggages.

So again why should voters choose BO and the Democratic party?

Yep

this will be great fun

I will vote for the best one: HRC

I just have to write her name in.

Senate Report: Bush used Iraq Intel he knew was false!

Huffington Report.

Remember Bradley he was ahead in the poles on election day and he lost.

Obama is the DNC's puppet, they gave him the presumptive slot – he did not earn it – just talk to MI & FL! The disenfranchisement of the democratic vote is their own undoing. Obama's folks can't understand why Hillary's folks still question him. Well he is questionable, muslim school, Trinity Church, Rev Wright, disrespecting the American Flag, and on and on the skeletons are rattling the closet. The real Democratic choice was railroaded with Tamany Hall tactics ad the true intent of Obama and his supporters are there to be read all over the blogs – they are mean, vile and hate filled. Mc Cain will win because the DNC has handed him the Presidency.

Uh, actually, I suspect McCain will get a "bump" this week when all of us Hillary Dems switch our support to McCain. Why are you all having such a hard time believing that we would rather support a qualified, experienced Republican over your empty coat candidate??? Trust me, you will lose in November! We will Remember!

Carol, San Luis Obispo, CA:

We don't need a crystal ball to determine whether or not Obama can lead. We just have to look at his ridiculously thin record of leadership and public service. We can also look at the way he eliminated all the other Democratic candidates from the ballot when he ran for state Senator in IL in 1996, the way he joined a church to advance himself politically and the way he blew off that same church after 20 years of not paying attention to the minister for twenty years to advance himself politically, the way he bought a nice house and a bit of extra land in 2005 (within months of getting elected to the U. S. Senate) from Rezko, who yesterday became a convicted felon...

Obama's a lightweight opportunist. He's sleazy and shallow. He knows that he has a smaller chance of winning the general election than does Hillary Clinton, but he doesn't care about the party or the country.

Wake up.

Setemup, learn your facts. McCain is not from Montana, he's from the great state of Arizona.

Wolf,

The Media has accomplished just what they set out to do, you just have to read many of the comments above.

Many of these people do not realize that John McCain has been campaigning towards the General Election for months now, but thanks to Hillary, Barack has been campaigning against Both Hillary, and John McCain until Tuesday.

Barack has been campaigning for a total of TWO DAYS against McCain, and even here he is still being dogged by Hillary!

Just wait and let us see what THE POLLS say after a few months.

This question about McCain's competitiveness is totally ridiculous, but I have to admit that you now have many people asking the same ridiculous question, so "Mission Accomplished" ( until these misinformed supporters wake up)

The Warrior vs the cheating, lying demagogue

I don't trust Obama.

ALL THE HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ARE ACTING LIKE CHILDREN

GO AHEAD VOTE FOR MCSAME AND SHOOT YOURSELF ON THE FOOT.

FEMALE FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER.

Please don't ignore the seriousness of another of Obama's "longime friends", Tony Rezko's convictions, and his connection to Obama in the buying and selling of property that appears fishy to say the least. Someone who wants to be president should not be above the law.

Too early...time will tell

Joann Taylor:

Unfortunately for Obama, I don't think Jack can stop being cranky and moronic. I don't have the slightest idea what he thinks he's doing. And Roland Martin is just an annoying spinner who will not change his mind even if every fact proved the opposite. He's just going to continue shooting his mouth off. As for Jamal Simmons, he seems like a nice guy who is trying to hard to say something intelligent. In fairness to him, he often does say some smart things, but wow does it seem like he's not ready for the big leagues.

The worst of all is Donna Brazile, the one who ran Gore's losing campaign against Bush. She seems to know she's wrong about supporting Obama, determined to endorse him anyway, and very angry with anyone and everyone who tries to make an argument as to why nominating such a weak candidate whose run on flowery rhetoric and empty slogans is a bad idea.

I too will vote for McCain because he is a moderate Republican who is known, experienced, and quailfied for the office.

McCAIN DEMOCRAT '08

If Obama is tied with McCain, even with all the Clinton die-hards still not supporting him, it can ONLY IMPROVE, once the Clintonites have come around to their senses.....so its GREAT that Obama is tied now!
It can ONLY GET BETTER!!

Go McCain! He's got my Democratic vote for November, no matter who he chooses for VP. Lieberman would be a good choice.

Suggestions for Obama VP.....Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Father Pfleger, Rhashid Khalidi....or one of a number of others of the same ilk.

And Hillary SHOULD keep her campaign suspended rather than being a "good little girl" and bowing graciously to His Majesty Barack Obama.....which is what the radical Far Left DNC and their cronies have been trying to get her do for for several weeks now anyhow. Well, they finally ended up handing Obama the nomination on a silver platter after the Florida/Michigan debacle a week ago followed by the superdelegates finally electing the Democratic nominee for us (whatever happened to the popular vote?)

I am done with them. Human decency and fair play will always override so-called party loyalty. I expect I'll be a registered Republican by November anyhow......and forever more.

Go McCain – 2008

Obama will get Slaughtered By John..... The Little Boy playing with Fire will get burned to a crisp, in November...

Sorry Dream Fulfiled,

Mccain for President. DNC rules is not good. It only shows that
people votes will not count, only superdelegates will should prevail.

Mccain for President.

I just returned home from the AIPAC policy conference in D.C. It was an amazing event! The only thing missing was Wolf! Would you please tell Wolf Blitzer that he should attend next year's policy conference. I will be looking for him.

Thank you,

Miriam Atzmon, a huge fan

I was intending to vote for Hillary, but now I will vote for McCain.

As a conservative I want to say Thank you Hillary supporters. Because of your hatred for Obama, we will get to pick 2 or 3 justices for the Supreme Court. I am enjoying the infighting, the demanding he takes her as VP, the angry females, etc. You will cause the most liberal/socialist leaning DEM nominee in history to fall flat on his face ! I am not a big McCain fan but, he wil be better than Obama. Thanks again and I look forward to the landslide GOP victory in Noivember! Welcome aboard angry Hillary supporters! Just one more favor, I would appreciate a GOP majority in the Senate and the house, if you can! Thanks much!

People
People
Please, get a grip

It's only June 5, 2008. We have a Democrat Party presumptive candidate and a Republican Party presumptive candidate. No running mates have been selected. No conventions have been held.

How can anyone definitively state that Obama can't lead this country? Do you have a crystal ball? Of course not.

How can you say that John McCain will lead us to 100 years of war in Iraq? Oh, yea.... hee hee hee... that's what he told us he would do!

GO AHEAD HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS,

VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF YOU WANT SO WE CAN HAVE MORE WARS, POSSIBLY NUCLEAR. MORE PEOPLE WILL LOOSE THEIR JOBS AND HOMES . LOBBIEST WILL LOVE IT BECASUE THEY ARE THE ONCE WHO WILL ENJOY BIG FAT BANK ACCOUNTS....THAT IS REALY SMART MOVE.

IT SHOULDN'T MATTER IF HILLARY OR OBAMA IS NOMINATED. THEY BOTH ARE DEMOCRATS AND THEY SHARE THE SAME MESSAGE.

IF YOU ARE HILLARY'S SUPORTER WHO CHOSE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE SHE IS NOT THE NOMINEE, THEN YOU WERE NEVER A DEMOCRAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

There was another candidate for President with limited experience:

4 years as Under-Secretary of the Navy
2 years as Governor of New York

Running against an entrenched Republican, worsening economy and with major international instability around the globe.

That man was Franklin Delano Roosevelt – by some people's estimate of experience, FDR was not qualified to be President, yet he turned out to be exactly the right man, at the right time, for the right job.

So everyone, stop, take a breath, and think before you act.

Look, if GW was able to fool enough voters to get elected and then
re-elected, then I think BO could very well succeed doing the same.

The question is, would the voters be fooled once again, the third
time around?

Correction Stacy Clarks,

Mccain will pull away in a few weeks since millions of Hillary votes will cross over to him.

Bye bye Obama....

It won't be close after the first debate, when the voters see the stark differences between these two men I predice a landslide for Obama.

It's close because the Democrats have picked someone totally unqualified for the job. And yes, Sinic Marsh, let's have Caroline as the VP candidate, because at least that way Obama can be more qualified than SOMEONE running.

I was original voting for Edwards. When he dropped out I had to choose any person. After listening to both I choose Hillary Clinton and made the decision at that time I would not vote for Obama. This decision was made before the information about Obama starting coming out. It has nothing to do with the fact that he is half black and half white. I have a niece and nephew that is half black and half white.

Since I have voted in every presidential election, I will not skip this one. I will be voting for John McCain.

Barak will eat Johnnie for breakfast! We are not worried, but we are sure to tie our camels...I will, for my part, be out registering Spanish-speaking voters this Sunday in Alexandria. GO BAM BAM!!

The perfect Obama will prevail.

Perfect judgement.

Total power.

The full adoration of the sheep.

Obama is resembling the dictators of the past more and more every day.

First no one dared to question him for fear of the racist label.

Now no one dares to be different from the flock.

I am no sheep.

Write in Hillary Clinton in NOV or give rise to an American dictatorship where all dissent is suppressed by the haters.

TWO DAY AND HE HAS A LEAD OF 47% TO 45 NOT BAD WILL SOON BE ABOUT 15 TO 20% LEAD GO OBAMA!!!!!

Folks...

Worry now about the dictator-like appeal of Obama.

Logic and reason have disappeared.

This man has been described as all-powerful and having perfect judgement.

Oh Boy... worry now or suffer later as you pay the price of your liberty to the Marxist Obama.

Zachary, great points!!!!!

the lunacy of some of the comments from "so-called Hillary supporters" is troubling....What primary are they referring to was stolen, can someone in simple terms please explain to me how the election was stolen, even counting FL/MI...

Also the argument that Hillary should run as Independent is pointless!!!! She can't do some research and read the rules....

72 Million Democrats minus 18 million Clinton Supporters = Victory in the fall

Get over yourselves

Wolf,

my comment just got zapped, I guess I was typing so fast trying to finish my comment before they closed, that I must have hit the wrong key.

Wolf, I wondered when you would get to the point. Yes polls are only snapshots, and yes they change with time.

Barack has only just started running against McCain for the General Election. Just you wait until a couple of months go by, I honestly think that you are forgetting this very valid point. John McCain has been campaigning for months now, and thanks to Hillary, Barack is only two days into campaigning against McCain for the general election.

I think your statement is bordering on ridiculous, I cannot believe that you do not realize why this so-called competitive aspect of John McCain exists.

Mr. Zachary. Dream your dreams. Correction, 18 million plus not 17 million only,... ,most of it will go to Mccain or not vote at all. I'm one of the millions who will vote for Mccain or not vote at all.

Hillary lost the primary NOT because of the pledged delegate BUT because the DNC superdelegates voted for him. Is this democratic?
Stealing the position to her and giving it to Obama.

(1) See how the DNC pushed the decision on Michigan/Florida (end of primary) in order to show that Hillary will have less votes/pledged delegates. If they only resolved it much earlier then it is different.

(2) See how they voted in favor of Obama. They didn't really like Hillary but Obama.

In summary, Obama won NOT because of the people who voted for her BUT because the DNC superdelegates stole and have him the positions. Whether you like it or not ...... this is the truth.

To be honest Wolf, I'm pretty certain the Dem race had a profound effect as well. I actually believe in about 1 month or so we can get an accurate description towards this race. I think what people have to understand is that this Dem race did have an effect.....

"Nobama" up there...you're talking about Obama having sleazy friends?! Do you even know who John McCain is?

Scumbag Extraordinaire and enemy of families of Vietnam War POW's John McCain was part of the biggest corruption scandal the US Congress has ever seen. This is a "man" who is a Vietnam War veteran, who is obsessed with slashing veteran's benefits. The only thing "pro-military" about John McCain is his willingness to dump more of our money to the Defense corporations. He cares as much about the troops as he did his first wife who he dumped after her car accident. Sick, sick, sick, deranged man.

McCain is competetive in his positions because they are the right things to do. McCain has been in DC a long time and knows what can and cannot be accomplished with the divided government. Obama does not know this. He thinks he can slick-talk his way to get heaven on earth but he cannot do this. Those of us who have lived longer understand all this; the young do not. And the blacks who voted in droves for Obama think their saviour has come - but no he hasn't.

We are watching a hostile takeover of democracy by the left wingers who install their nominee by trashing their opponent out of the race.

Who want to live in Nazi Germany where all allegence is to the dictator?

Why isn't CNN making any comment about McCain coming in THIRD in his OWN PRIMARY!!!! The good people of Montana know better than to trust this liar!

Rick in NYC ... Thank you!! Thank you!! thank you!!!
At last there is a sign that sanity may prevail!!!!

Thank you very much Sen. Obama for energizing the Nation with your message of change. I am confident that you will be our next President in the fall. Please don’t forget to spread this message to Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and make him see the light, recognize the state of Israel and abandon his ambition of nuclear weapons. Please don’t forget to remind the Shias and Sunnies in Iraq how stupid they are keeping this pre-biblical feud going on for so long. Please don’t forget to remind Hamas that Israel is not their promised land. Please don’t forget to tell Osama bin Laden that, he got where he is now because of our educational system and that he should be thanking us instead of killing us. And when you have some time left, please go down to Caracas, tell Hugo Chaves your plans about Cuba and ask him go give us a couple of free barrels of his oil.

Give me an less experienced man with honor and intergity over an adulterous (yes that is a sin...some would say a mortal sin) liar like McCain no matter how many years he survived as a POW (no matter how impressive and honorable that may be).

No wonder Rush Limbaugh likes him so much – he and Cindy McCain share a common interest in perscription drug use!

No McCain family 'Values' for America!

Mccain for 2008 .... watch your wallets????? ROFL. It's been empty for seven years thanks to your republican friends.

This man is not a democrat. So don't tell Hillary supporters they've destroyed the democratic party. He's a Marxist, he undercuts competition, getting their names off of ballots so the empty suit can win in Illinois. His entourage is nothing short of islamic jihaddists and anti american personnel. HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT, he ruined the so called democratic party.

Makes me feel like a disenfranchised fl/mi voter, they never post any of my stuff… its like Nazi Germany reincarnate.

Nobama... really? You wanna judge by the friends they keep? How about Marc Rich and the Sheik of Dubai to name just two. And I won't even start about the Paul case that could end them both in jail. Stop the nonsense, we have a country to save.

She is the only one that is credible enough to bring the Party together. As VP. she will unite not only the part y, but thecountry as well .

This comment is for jack cafferty ,Jamal Simmons and Roland Martin among others. Iff they want John McCain to win in November they just need to continue running down Hillary the way they have been, Yes, I'm a Clintor supporter but have said all along I would vote for Obama if he were the nominee but now I"m re-thinking my decision.I have never heard anyone run someone down like they have Hillary, Especially Jack. They better think about it because they are not helping him.

Democracy is dead.
makes me feel like a disenfranchised fl/mi voter, they never post any of my stuff… its like Nazi Germany reincarnate

can you even wait for the post nomination polls to roll in

gino, of course I remember the Keating scandal......I remember very well that McCain was cleared, COMPLETELY, of any wrongdoing.

Obviously, you're one of the ignorant slogan shouters who is neither smart enough nor motivated enough to do your homework before joining in the crowd noise.

Now, how about you tell us all the gory details about Rezko and all the other slime your communist candidate has worked with for so long?

I will vote for McCain. I don't truss Obama and after the DNC gave it away. I am now INDEPENDENT. Obama was not elected he was selected. DNC blew it

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

You can claim Hillary got robbed, give the election to McCain and have her run again and fail in 2012 because she WILL be blamed if Obama loses, or you can put pettiness aside and vote for someone who will not continue this war indefinitely and is not someone who admits he know little about the economy. Your choice, but remember 18 million voted for him too. The Midwest largely voted for him. and the majority of Clinton supporters are likely not as stubborn as you. Once you count out territory primary voters and those who will switch your numbers start dwindling down pretty fast. Please join us. We have much more in common than different if you truly look at this all disappointment aside.

There's really no great mystery, when you disenfranchise 2.3 million Democrats and let Caucuses in Republican states determine your nominee if you lose. No mystery at all, if they lose. They have an illegitimate candidate.

We're talking about a "poll of polls" taken even before Obama officially clinched the nomination. Once the full power of the Democratic party is behind Obama, even with the few closet Neoconservatives who are switching allegiance to vote for McCain, this should translate to a 60/40 Obama advantage.

I just really hope Obama goes after McCain. I do NOT want to see Obama "take it easy" on McCain. People need to be reminded and fully aware of McCain's "Keating 5" scandal, his stance on issues. His willingness to watch the value of the dollar further its decline, and his stance on sticking to the same, failed policies of the Bush Administration.

If you are an executive of a Defense, Pharmeceutical, Oil, or Heath Insurance corporation, you should vote for John McCain. Otherwise, you're only harming yourself. If voters are intelligent enough to find their polling place, I can't imagine McCain getting more than 30% of the popular vote.

CNN reminds me of FOX...all screwed up and biased. All Hillary voters who are deciding to vote for McCain must be racist pricks because if you weren't then you'd vote for Obama considering the IMENSE!!!!!!!!!! difference between the two candidates...

Get your act together and stand behind your party.

Any Canadian I've talked to wants Obama to win as well...because we aren't seperatist racist Hillary lovers...

Not to say that all Hillary supporters are doing this...to those unifying behind Obama Canadians salute you.

OBAMA for president '08!

What amazes me as of late is the scope and breadth of Obama’s power. I mean – he had the votes to keep Michigan 50-50, but he decdied to be gracious. And when Hillary didn’t bow out of the race on Tuesday – within 24 hours, without uttering a single word about it, Obama’s camp was able to get House and Senate Democrats, ardent Hillary supporters, to have two separate conference calls asking her what in the heck she was doing. Couple hours later – she’s conceding. Hillary Clinton – one of the most powerful Democrats ever. And now I see this article, and I’m like – dang, Obama is just taking over.

Fine with me. Tell me where to show up and what to canvas.

I truly hope Obama's lead increases. McCain talks about honor but was there any honor in his involvement in the Keating 5 scandal? McCain is a wolf in sheep's clothing and should never have made it as far as he did in this presidential race.

Democrats should rally around Obama and move this country forward...It's time for a change. Say no to McSame!

People, this is what the Obama worshippers post:

Look at Caroline Kennedy for VP

I'm appalled that CNN would make hay out of clearly outdated polls. It's like asking people what they think of FEMA two days before Katrina hits and publishing the results three days later.

It is Nazi Germary all over again.
Read this Pro-Obama post:

CAROLINE KENNEDY VP

The race is tight because of his arrogance, he brushed Clinton off his shoulders, and we know what that really meant. We who support her are angry at the media and the DNC for the way they have tried to push her out. Why wasn't everyone up in arms when Kennedy took his fight to the convention and he needed 800 delegates. Everyone is trying to portray her as a villian for campaigning to the end. A party destroyer for her determination to fight for the votes of every American. Why , because she is a woman? Obama owes a lot of favors the news today explains Deans support of Obama. How many more favors will Obama begin to repay? What did he promise Nancy Pelosi? The Kennedy support must mean a Kennedy as VP? Kerry, what is his pay back? Maybe if enough of them can be a Secretary of something we can change congress. They will have to vacate their seats and open up the election process. That is of course if Obama makes it in November. I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballots as will my brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles etc. thirty that I know of, and they know people that I don't. Obama-bots say those who voted for Hillary because she is a woman, are sexist. What does that make Obama supporters who voted for him because he is black..RACIST? I thought so..

paulie_nj:
I've followed the Clintons since 1992, voted for Bill twice. And let me tell you, the Clintons I saw this Primary season, are not the Clintons I knew and adored!!

And Sen.Clinton' s VERY UN-gracious speech June 3 clinches why she
should NOT be VP. Sen.Obama on the other hand was very RESPECTFUL &
GRACIOUS to Hillary Clinton–talking about the "history she's
made"–while Hillary Clinton DID NOT BOTHER TO MENTION THE HISTORICAL
NATURE OF OBAMA'S VICTORY. Here's some observations from a woman blogger
from New Zealand–maybe the geographical distance can be a reality check.

Every day,Hillary Clinton continues in her quest by-any-means, I become
more disgusted and disappointed in her ruthless tactics. She;'s the
ultimate SORE LOSER.

Recently I've been getting a wee bit worried that Obama might actually
be considering it – and idea which absolutely horrifies me, because I
think it will seriously damage his chances of beating McCain in November.

How exactly did Hillary get robbed?

Because let me tell you what SHOULD have happened:

The DNC SHOULD HAVE SAID to Florida and Michigan, "You cheated. You don't get to seat your delegates."

Then, Hillary wouldn't have a single leg to stand on. Without Florida and Michigan, she doesn't even come close to winning the popular vote.

Secondly, once the DNC DID decide (wrongfully) to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan, they gave Clinton a HUGELY GRACIOUS percentage.

So tell me again how she was robbed? Because Florida and Michigan screwed up themselves, not the DNC. And the DNC was gracious to both states AND Clinton.

She lost. You need to learn how to deal with that. She lost to a better candidate...and a better campaign...and a better campaign team.

Obama will NOT get my vote. I am glad John McCain is the Republican nominee cause he will make it even easier for me and other fed-up Democrats to NOT vote for Obama.

The Dems keep saying McCain is the third Bush term (not true), but the reality is Obama is Dick Chaney's cousin.

I say no more Chaneys in the White House!

I COULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF HE WOULD RECONSIDER BY NOV. HIS STRATEGY ON THE WAR.

Thankfully, there are enough Clinton supporters, myself included, that will vote to keep Obama out of the White House.

Obama has spent most of his life surrounding himself with others who proudly voice their racial and radical agendas. It is a far stretch to say that he spent more than 2 decades in the company of people than he does not share their ideals.

=====================================

Obama wants to be Carter's second term.

=====================================

Watch your wallets guys and gals

ON DAY ONE MCCAIN WILL NOT FAIL BY PROVING GEORGE W. BUSH AND HE WERE RIGHT ABOUT IRAQ AND TO BOMB IRAN. THAT'S HIS #1 AGENDA AND IF YOU THINK ANY DIFFERENT YOU ARE LIVING IN NEVER NEVER LAND. WE HAVEN'T SEEN WHAT WAR IS IF MCCAIN BECOMES PRESIDENT. PLEASE DON'T VOTE FOR MCCAIN, HE'S TELLING YOU EVERY DAY WHAT HIS PLANS ARE WHEN HE ARGUES ABOUT OBAMA'S PLAN TO END THIS WAR.

I am totally disgusted by this country. All of these people who are saying that they will vote for McCain over Obama because they are bitter about HIllary losing are just plain IGNORANT. Obama and Clinton disagreed about very few policy issues. Obama and McCain and polar opposites. If you are a Hillary supporter, how could you ever vote for someone who goes against everything she believes in? I have been reading some of the comments on this site and I can't believe we are living with such racism. You can watch a black man play football or basketball, and that's okay, but a highly educated man who is far more intelligent than our current president is somehow a problem. Are black people only okay when we are entertaining you? All of you people need to grow up and think about the fact that the hate you are spreading is being seen by people outside of this country. Is this the impression that you want to leave?

As a lifelong Democrat, the DEM leadership and all those super delegates who are giving Obama the nomination and taking a huge gamble in the process, you better be smart now. Without Hillary on the ticket, McCain will win. Only the Dems could foul up a golden chance like this to control the White house and Congress - and I think they may do it by alienating the Hillary supporters, many many of whom will either jump for McCain or stay home if Hillary is not on the ticket – and it will not matter even if Hillary campaigns for Obama. No Hillary on the ticket – no White house for Barack.

Hey, I just figured out you can change your name and post repeated negative comments about Obama at the rate of about one every two or three minutes, creating the false idea that there are a lot of people against him! You can also be a Republican and claim to be a disgruntled Hillary supporter while you're doing it, making people think the party's a lot more fractured than it is!

Amazing tool for fooling people, the Internet!

Zachary Of course not all 17 million Hillary supporters will vote for McCain but millions will just to let the media know they can not pick the candidate, we the people pick the candidate and this is one way we can our voices can be hear. Hillary has been trashed for mos now by the media but we will fight back by voting McCain. Please don't call me bad names as Michelle Obama said she was'nt sure if she could vote for Hillary, so don't go there. McCain08

O-H-B can be handily chopped by John in Nov.

I am with you Zachery. I have lots of family and friends and it's called networking. My support will go to Senator O's camp next week, 1st time donations to him. Very excited!

Anyone in CNN checking grammar these days?

"But remember – polls are only snapshots. They always change over time, and there’s still five months before Election Day."

"... there is still five months" – really? Not "there are?"

if you can't get the grammar right on a news site what else are you screwing up?

You do know that the Clinton and Obama are similar on the majority of their votes and policy and issues???? So when you say that Obama is not ready, you are also saying that Clinton was not ready. Everything else is just personality and from what I've seen, Obama is pretty calm and humble with a splash of humor. What's not to like???

Maybe all the lowlife, uneducated losers of the world can see through the man behind the curtain and HIS Karl Rove, David Axelrod. Wouldn't you think people would have learned that a puppet master can create the image, but can't sustain the it?

As a Hillary supporter, I will do my part and rally behind the Democratic Nominee, Senator Obama. How Hillary's followers can really think voting for McCain is the answer to their woes, I have no idea. Obama and Hillary have almost the same stances on every issue. McCain is worlds apart from both of them.

Am I the only Hillary supporter that realizes even if ALL the votes and Delegates from Florida and Michigan were counted the way they were distributed, she still would not have won? She still would have have needed Superdelegates to put her over the top maybe if she were ahead as well. The superdelegates ruined the party except if they had voted for her instead.

This really isn't fair. You talk of them unifying the party ... do your part. Stand behind the candidate that Hillary will be standing behind. It's absurd to do anything else. Barack Obama has my vote, even as I peel my Hillary stickers off my car bumper. Grow up people. This is much more important than your shattered egos over the primary loss of someone that doesn't even know you exist.

Hillary supporter for Obama '08!

This is another Dukakis vs. Bush Sr in the making

Is It Too Hot In The Kitchen!

The biggest battle will be trying to fight the most biased networks CNN and MSNBC who have made a farce of the term reporting and replaced it with biased choices that they want to be in charge or selected

If, as the blogs suggest, those calling themselves Hillary supporters are making such base and hateful comments then she deserved to lose and they helped her to do so. If, on the other hand, they are imposters, they should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder if such people have children or grandchildren. What poor examples of humanity!

My question about these polls are do they include any third party candidates? I know that Nader is trying as well as Bob Parr for the Libertarians. How much do these polls add these and others in? I would like to think that some of the "Hillary or Bust" people would change their minds to vote for Obama rather than vote for McCain. There are several months between now and November.

there should be large companies and certain individuals with huge economic interest connected with the elections. Obama was the underdog a year ago so I doubt those "sponsors" put their economic expectations and thus financial support on him. He just hasn't been in politics for long enough to make the reputation and all the connections and therefore has less responsibilities and unpaid debts to such sponsors. His recent statement on "no lobbyist money" only confirms that. Him independency in this sense makes him the best choice for president in my opinion, but he needs to spend some extra money for bodyguards.

OBAMA KEEPS DODGING THE VP ISSUE ON HIS TICKET AND HIS "SEARCH COMMITTEE" IS A FARCE DESIGNEDTO HIDE
HIS CHOICE OF A VP OTHER THAN HILLARY CLINTON..
CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE NOT FOOLED BY THIS. THE MEDIA
(CAFFERTY NOTABLY OF CNN HAS DONE MORE CRTICISM OF HILLARY CLINTON FROM THE GET GO) CAFFERTY NOW CRITICISES HILLARY FOR WHAT HE CALLS AS HOLDING ON TO HER SUPPORTERS AFTER QUITTING THE PREZ RACE. HILLARY
IS JUST AS LOYAL TO HER SUPPORTERS AS HER SUPPORTERS ARE TO HER. THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR HILLARY SPEAK ON HER PLANS FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN. IF OBAMA DENIES HILLARY THE VP SPOT
OBAMA CANNOT WIN HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS TO HIS CAMP.
SOUTH DAKOTA IS AN EXAMPLE. EVEN WHEN IT WAS APPARENT THAT OBAMA WOULD WIN THE NOMINATION, SOUTH DAKOTA VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON. DOES OBAMA THINK CLINTON.S SUPPORTERS, NOTABLY IN OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, WEST VIRGININA , KENTUCKY, FLORIDA , NEW YORK, CALIFORNIA , MAYBE TEXAS EVEN THOUGH TEXAS WILL LIKELY GO FOR MCCAIN. AMERICANS ARE PATRIOTIC AND LOYAL BY NATURE.
THEY ARE NOT SWAYED BY RHETORIC HOWEVER ELOQUENT.
THEY WILL SCRUTINIZE OBAMA MORE THAN OBAMA EVER REALIZES.. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT CAFFERTY'S FILE "POLLING" QUESTIONS AND NOTED ALMOST TOTAL ANTI CLINTON COMMENTS BEING PUT ON CAFFERTY'S BOARD.

These polls were taken before HRC dropped out. So there should have actually been 2 polls out at this point. HRC vs McCain and Obama vs McCain.

it will be surprising to see if Obama can get more blue collar Hillary supporters than McCain. He has dismissed them this entire nomination, and I doubt he will grab Ohio, PA, etc.

Remember. These polls show Obama supporters vs McCain supporters. It doesn't mention the 17 million Hillar supporters. It all boils down to them. It's actually quite funny. Obama's presidential bid, is in the hands of Hillary crats

What i cant figure out is why people cant understand...We Hilary voters are backing her as a person , which means we dont like OB. So anyone with a knowledge should understand then why our votes are going to McCain.. Anything to stop OB. Dont put her on the ticket and then when he loses, he loses all on his own merits which isnt much.

Okay, Clinton's get busy and help Obama win in November.

I was extremley glad to see people exercising their right to voteduring the primaries! Huge turnouts and lots of Students. The important thing to realize is we cannot vote for a candidate with a great "Catch Phrase", it's not a popularity contest, it's not TXT a vote like American Idol. The United States is faced with some huge issues and we really need to see which candidate is going to attempt to repair. We need head to head debates with McCain and Obama ASAP!

Obama call on people to rebuild, while Osama bin Laden and others who call on people bring destruction. Both create movements, and therefore, Obama is the best person to counter Osama bin Laden and the likes in this period. McCain isn't powerful enough to counter this. Obama is the person we need in this period.

It's a tight race because many people don't know him. Once they know him, he's really is a gift to us in this period.

Hillary Supporters' Rant:

FL and MI were not counted: WRONG! They WERE counted, even though they broke the rules. Still whining?

Obama has no experience: As opposed to Hillary's experience as a first lady? Or her failed healthcare project? Or her superb campaign that lost to an unknown black man and went $20 million in debt?

Hilalry won more votes: ONLY according to her own bulls*** count which give Obama 0 votes from MI and doesnt even count the caucus votes. Not a SINGLE political analyst agrees with that count.

The DNC stole the election from Hillary: Put a sock in it, crybabies! FL and MI were counted when they shouldn't have. Hillary got far more positive press for being a female candidate than Obama did for being black. Your candidate lost FAIR AND SQUARE! Deal with it!

We will vote for McCain: GOOD! Thanks for living up to the stereotype of dumb, illiterate americans. Don't pay any consideration to the fact that Hillary and Obama's policy's are 95% identical, or that McCain is Bush 2. Go ahead and stoke your egos. Way to go...truly mature!

Many of those 17 or 18 millions of Hillary 'supporters' in the primary are actually Republicans or Independents for McCain.
It's not Obama's fault if he doesn't get their support.
But he can try to win them over before November and so can McCain. This is going to be a better part of Election 2008.

Hillary got robbed by her own party!
Hillary VP OR McCain.

Mccain Is A Third Bush Term!

CBS on June 4th says:
If an Obama-McCain contest were held today, the Democrat would hold the edge.
IF THE ELECTION WERE TODAY, WOULD YOU VOTE FOR…?
(Among registered voters)
Obama 48%
McCain 42
Undecided 6
Won’t vote 3
In this poll, 12% of self-identified Democrats nationwide say they’ll back John McCain against Obama. That is higher than the 8% of Democrats who defected to George W.

Hillary supporters do not want Obama to pick Hillary as his VP because he is going to lose against McCain. There are 18 million of us who voted for Hillary. Thirty plus percent of the 18 million vow to vote McCain. If 10% of that group actually do vote McCain, Obama will lose. Get ready for the backlash, folks!

I'm so sick if you FL and MI voters. Your leaders broke the rules by holding the primaries sooner.. then YOUR GIRL Hillary admitted she wasn't going to be bothered with you UNTIL she was loosing then she became your crusader.

If you Hillary supporters want to go with McCain, we have to deal with that BUT then we will make it our sole purpose to register as many young folks and new voters as possible to make up for it and all 18 million aren't going to vote for McCain and out of hte 18 million, you can also deduct the votes in PR. Hillary as distanced herself from a lot of long life democrates and really pushed the rift, not OBAMA. He believes in unity and even now you and Hillary are bullying folks. Now who is the Separatist. At least we know where John McShame stands...

All of you "former democrats" OR "If not Clinton then McCain" are idiots.
So we get this straight—you were NEVER A DEMOCRAT to begin with, so don't disrespect the rest of us that are TRUE DEMOCRATS. Sounds to me like you are supporting Clinton because she is a WOMAN and NOT for what she stands for and what issues we face as Americans. If you were a democrat you would see that voting for McCain is going AGAINST EVERYTHING A TRUE DEMOCRAT STANDS FOR.
*If you truly support Clinton you would stop being so stubborn and listen to her when she says "it would be a terrible mistake to vote for McCain"… even she is going to support Obama.

Get over it.

Obama will be president.

looks like we blowing a next election thanks to obama

McCain = Bush

No more Bush!!!!!

Barry won't win people. Heck he already thinks he has won and is the Pres. I'm a hillary supporter and I don't want her to be on the ticket with Barry. I think it will hurt her. Hillary Run in 2012 !!!!! I won't vote for Barry and I'm not voting for John . Ron Paul ?? Ummm....maybe or just write in Elmer Fud or Bugs Bunny he's the man !!!!

obama never, i will not come out of my fortified cave. go independent.

To the "Bitter" HRC Supporters only:

Isn't it ironic that many of you are complaining about "The process" of selecting a Democratic nominee; when this was the exact same "process" that elected Bill Clinton back in the 90's.

Let's put the petty foolishness behind us, and unite as 1 party.

Democrats Forever.

I would like to know more about Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger, Mr. Ayers , Weather Underground, Mr. Rezko, Ms. Obama ideas on America, and Mr. Obama himself before the November election.

I would like to know about Mr. McCain as much as the press can dig up.

Everything on the table...

i hope she will run as an indenpendent the 18 million votes she got she can still be president she got robbed by her own party and deserved to be running for president she had the most popular but the delegates and super delegates got oboma elected to run as president i'm not voting for oboma is a lier dope period if any one that voted for hillary goto hillary's web sight and encourage her to run as an indenpendent i'll vote only if she is runing for president her only i am a democrate

MCCain New Campaign Slogan! * A World War Three We Can Believe In *

And what makes Hillary so experienced? Because she's Bill Clinton's wife? Just because you see how things work doesnt mean when the time comes you'll be capable of handling that same situation. Seeing and actually doing are two different things.

Hillary supporters that want to support McCain because their candidate lost the nomination are proving that they are not the wisest people. You are throwing away your vote out of spite and deserve what you get if McCain becomes president. I promise you that you will regret the poor choice you make and you will wonder why you are struggling to make ends meet.

And Obama should be blowing him away, especially right now. Hillary was beating McCain nicely in the last poll they had regarding her while Obama was tied with McCain. When it comes to McCain v.s. Obama, a vote for McCain becomes a vote to make sure the country is still around in 4 years and possibly relatively stable while a vote for Obama is exactly the opposite. During a time like this, inexperience like Obama's could destroy this country. And as for myself and the Hillary folks I know, none of us will be voting for Obama in the fall (if his campaign hasn't blown itself up by then) but for Mr. McCain.

Mr Obama 4 oresident. It is people like you who will make sure this party never get back together. Shut up and sit down. You and your kind make me ill.

Hey Wolf,
Just wait until Obama and McCain have their first real debate. I'd be curious to see how the polls fluctuate then.

I am waiting with Baited breath to see these two in a "bare knuckles" brawl about real issues like: IRAQ, THE ECONOMY, GAS PRICES, ETC. I'm sure only one candidate will be standing in the end.

Obama will have McCain callling him "Daddy" when it's all over.

"There's a reason we didn't vote for Obama and voted for Clinton and nothing has changed" Major Tom

First off who is "we"? the KKK? you're local low iq white supremest group? Funny how those who consider themselve supreme are actually dumb as doorknobs.

So you gonna pick McCain because he's what?... The same McCain that will keep the economy the way it is, keep Iraq as it is, start more war with Iran... McSame? this is how you think "independently" ?

MR YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN SHILL...and if you're not you should go join the republicans and get it over with. Republican embrace racists with open arms you'll be right at home, but you better make good money. Republican don't like poor people either... they just love sucking the blood out of every poor soul while they get richer.

Worst Congress. Ever.

You Clintonites just don't seem to get it.

Obama DOES NOT NEED HILLARY to win the election. In fact, having her on the ticket would hurt him more than help him.

The truth is that you all got your panties in a wad because your girl didn't win the nomination. So you have two choices:

1. Unwad your panties and vote for the candidate who agrees with Hillary on most of the issues.

Or

2. Keep your panties in a wad and put yourself over the country (much like your candidate does) and vote to send thousands more men and women to their death in a war we should've never started. Put yourself over the country and vote to kill the hopes of universal healthcare. Put yourself over the country and vote to send our country further into debt. Put yourself over the country and continue to foster this "America is a tyrant" mentality that's spreading throughout the rest of the world.

Frankly, I don't want anyone who would put him/herself over the good of the country. So go vote McCain. I just don't want to hear you complaining when you can't afford food, gas and clothing for your family next year.

Wolf,

I turned in on Saturday to watch what I thought was going to be a wonderful moment in History.

I'm still shaken by what I witnessed.

The "Democratic" party showed me why I am going to re-register after being a Democrat from 1972.

The Party has been ruined by the Left Marxists!

I urge all angry Hillary supporters to vote for the man who will send our sons to die in Iraq and our daughters to die in back alleys. That show America what's what.

Obama for President is a loser....I can smell a liberal when I see their
point of view.

I Cant Wait To Hear Hillary Give Her * I Lost My Dream * Speach!

I Voted for HILLARY and I will vote for Her in General Election, if HILLARY will go Independent !!!!!
NO!!!!! TO !!!! Obama !!!!!
If not HILLARY, Then I won't vote it all !!!!!
Democratic team should know, that HILLARY !!!! IS THE STRONGEST TO WIN IN GENERAL ELECTION !!!!!

Former Democrat:

"I survived eight years of Bush. McCain is better than Bush and FAR better than Obama. I can survive four years of McCain. I'm not sure any of us would survive four years of Obama.

I can wait until 2012 to elect a better Democrat than Obama. He's the worst I've ever seen."

RIGHT ON THE MARK AND PERFECTLY EXPRESSED!
Did we really live through 8 years of Bush to stick ourselves with this weasel? The leadership of the Democratic Party has totally failed us and the country.

Hillary as a write in................................Obana is not ready in my opinion.

When right is wrong and left is right what to do ? Choose future instead of past.

We have had a KING for 8 years. We do not need another King and that is what Obama is looking like, at least he thinks he is. We will not repeat that mistake. He is going down!!

I truly believe that Clinton hanging on to her "votes" is what is causing the polls to be inaccurate. Those supporters are not saying they'd vote for Obama when polled – they may be saying they'll vote for McCain – in some spiteful "we'll show them all" approach to making sure that the world thinks Obama was a bad choice.

Those women – because they are mostly women – should reflect deeply about what will come from voting for McWar. It's their children at stake – from soldiers in Iraq to choosing whether to carry a child to term to hungry mouths to feed.

But it comes back to Hillary Clinton herself. If she were truly interested in supporting Obama, supporting the Democratic party, and NOT just in maintaining her leverage, she'd have left N.Y. and gone to Minnesota to appear on the stage with Barack Obama to acknowledge him as the nominee. The level of respect she *could* have gained was huge, but – like a Clinton – she succumbed to the "me, first" approach that they always take.

Sad, but true. However, I do think that with reflection, most of these Clinton supporters will return to the fold, understanding that 4 more years of Bush's third term (McWar) is just too terrible to risk.

It is not only white women who dislike Obama. I am a black sixty year grandmother who will not get out as I have done for forty years and work for this party Obama is nothing but an extension of the Daly machine out of Chicago. He lets others do his insulting of women and opponent so he can appear to be Mr. Clean.
I hope she doesn 't even think of becoming his VP. I wish they would get on Biden , Dodds and the other boys to get on the bandwagon and get their people behind him. NO one hounded Edwards about doing this, why does she have to immediately do this. I have watched elections since JFK and I have never seen anyone treated the way the party is treating her.
Good luck Obama and God bless you. I have no intentions of helping you in any way .

I have learned that there are many Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. The Repubs are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and then gang.

Too early for this poll to mean a thing.

Remember the time Hillary was ahead by 30 points?

Polls are a way for Wolfs of the world to hold on to their jobs spewing garbage every day.

Bush = far right

Obama = far left

Hillary = left center

McCain = right center

I think allot more people fall into the last two category's. I am a repub but i don't agree with every thing a repub president dose. Just as i bet most dems don't agree with every thing a dem president dose.

The best chance for this country is to meet in the middle and work together. Now which people do you think are best for that to happen.

Obviously the ones in the middle. Not the ones that have the most polarized voting record.

McCain is competitive because Hillary supporters are choosing to vote for McCain rather than a democrat because of his skin color. The only reason the Democrats will lose this race is if the supporters of Hillary vote Republican...not because of the fact that the presumptive nominee is Obama. He is the nominee and her supporters are having a hard time moving forward. Hillary Clintons supporters are racist and it has been proven by there own comments in the blogs.

Why is Jack Cafferty so obsessed with his hate of Hillary Clinton?

She is out of the race and he still can't go 5 minutes without bashing her.

Does he know that other things are going on in the world?

Does he need some medications?

What is his endgame with Senator Clinton? Does he require a public flogging?

She'll be baaack! Hillary in 2012!

I'm a democrat voting for McCain. Hillary got robbed by her own party.

Obama is a liberal dope period.

Wolf

No one has been paying McCain much attention he has been floating around unoticed for so long taking the weekends off to rest, but now the spotlight is on him and we will start focusing on his messed up policies such as the plan for the economy, the one Graham advised him on, the same Graham that is a lobbyist for a forgein bank that promotes UNREGULATED mortgages loans, this same Graham is the one and same that is partly responsible for the mortgage crisis our nation is now experiencing. So those numbers will change once Hillary is out of the picture mudding people's minds to the point they can not keep up with what is going on around them, once she realize it ain't all about her.

WE DO NOT WANT HILLARY AS VP!

OBAMA / ANYBODY BUT HILLARY!

Has Anyone Seen Hillary?

Senator McCain will win because Barack Hussein Obama wants to
negotiate with Hamas, a terrorist group and Iran, a terrorist nation.
This will wipe the State of Israel off the map and endander American
Security. McCain will not surrender to terrorists but Obama will.
As a democrat I will vote for McCain.

I think a determining factor in this race will be the VP selection! Obama is very green as in new and he would need someone like Bill Richardson (Great on Foreign affairs) to team up with him. Hillary as VP? I don't think so, through all the bickering and trash talking how could they possibly be on the same page? McCain is my guy so far I cannot wait to see head to head debates. If Richardson was in the mix it would probably change my whole perspective.

to all Obama supporters.

Do you make friendship with people like Rezko , and Wright, and Pfleger, Farrakhan, and then not get influenced by them ??

Then after using your friends for 20 years, you throw them under the Bus.
Thats what Obama , your so called-leader has been doing all along, how much do you know him ?
He has to answer lot of questions quite honestly, that he has been shying away in the name of CHANGE.

It is going to be even tighter because every democrat I know is voting for McCain.

Nobama, noway, nohow.

With the dirty tricks and backstabbing Obama uses, this is going to be a long race.

John is going to get those 18 million that were on Hillary's side and then we will see NOBAMA cringe. Him and Howard can go down in the basement with the good reverend Wright and pray for a miracle. HAH! The DNC has turned out to be a joke. They are BLEEDING votes day by day. Can't wait to see what happens!!

Well I believe that Hillary's supporters are still a little angry and they may be mixed up in that polls for the Republicans. A true democrat will always stick by their party regardless of what has happened and I believe time will heal all wounds.

Once Hillary endorses Obama and campaigns for him, Obama's rating will soar.

Please Visit Hillary Is A Loser Dot Com!

Hillary supporters, please stop saying that Obama stole the nomination. Inorder for something to be stolen from you, you must first have omwned it. Tell me when did Hillary ever had this race locked up? NEVER. Tell me when was Obama so far behind Hillary that it was unlikely that he would catch her? NEVER. So how can you say he stole the nomination. He won this fair and square, with out slinging mud like Hillary did. Obama was ganged banged by Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea, yet he came out the victor. The problem with Americans, we are too competitive. We are too quick to form a team, and when that team doesn't win, we want to aide the enemy. Obama is an American just like you are. All he is saying is that he can bring jobs back, end the war, investigate the reason why oil is so high and try to bring this country out of a recession better than Macain. What's wrong with that????

I don't believe it is a tight race. I believe that Obama will easily win the race. I do not know who you poll, but it is not all inclusive.

Saying it, won't make it happen. American doesn't just want change, but we need change.

No doubt this comment will not be to your liking, it comes from a "Downscale Voter" per Candy C.

It may shock you to know that I can walk, talk, read come to a reasonable conclusion when given facts, without CNN"s elite clew of reporters and supporting contributors directing me. In fact I don't even use my fingers to eat.

It must be time for me to get my news from the papers, they only have a small editorial section. Them must think readers are able to function without them directing us.

I cannot find an article that doesn't mention Hillary. How funny that Obama wins the nomination but Hillary still gets all the coverage. What are you Obama people going to do after Hillary and her supporters are history and we fade away. Who will read your blogs. Good riddance you say, but the press and many in America will lose interest until Obama puts his foot in his mouth. Then you'll cry that Obama only gets negative coverage. How pathetic. Enjoy these next few days while you can because in a few weeks Obama will have to beg CNN for media coverage.

McTeleprompter must be going cazy!

I think Obama supporters should stop bad mouthing Hillary. I also think Hillary supporters should try to overlook this bad mouthing and vote for Barack Obama. Hillary's policies are about the same as Obama. This means Obama supporters should not say that Hillary does not represent change as Obama does and Hillary supporters should not vote for McCain, who does not share the same policies. McCain plans to appoint judges who will keep this country conservative by restricting our rights for decades. As a gay person, I am appalled by his opposition even to laws which ban firing people just because they are gay. McCain would also ban abortion. He would elminate the tax incentive for employers to offer their employees insurance- therefore a lot of people will have to pay a lot more out of their pocket for their healthcare.

McCain or Hillary or McCain/Hillary. Sen. Obama is just not ready.

Hillary Supporters! Write Her Name On The Ballot And Guarantee Obama Will Be President!

THE OLD DEMS JUST HAVE NOT BEEN UNITED,

AS EXAMPLED BY THEIR BEHAVIOR DURINGTHE NOMINATION.

SOME OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE VERY REPUBLICAN

& WANT A VOTE AT ANY EXPENSE.THEY HAVE BEEN BOUGHT

LOCK, STOCK & BARREL BY THE LOBBYISTS, JUST

AS THE REPUBLICANS. JUST LOOK AT THEIR INCOME

AFTER OFFICE. IF THEY WERE SUCH TALENTED PEOPLE,

WHY THEY JUST STRUGGLED BEFORE ELECTED OFFICE, THEN

AFTER OFFICE, MAKING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. SUDDENLY

THEY HAVE A STREAK OF GENIUS, MY FOOT.

People keep pointing to Obama's friendships with Rezko, Pflegler, Wright, etc. etc., but they never point McCain's friendship with the "Keating 5"; Phil Graham; Hagge; etc., etc., etc.. McCain has a ton of skeletons, and that straight talk express nonsense is a direct result of his dealing with crooked lobbyist. And yet we find out that lobbyist are running his campaign. Doh.

I expect this race to remain tight and even have McCain pull ahead. I've said it from the beginning that although we have come a long way in this country, America isn't yet ready for a black president. But if Omama does somehow win, everyone will have that retard Bush to thank for it. People are so desperate for a change for him that they will vote for anyone to bring that about. Hopefully McCain can see that and will stay as far away from Bush as possible.

As a life long Democrat I am going to vote for McCain, I will

never vote for Obama. McCain is not another Bush, but Obama will

destroy this country.

I think the Democratic party consistently underestimates the intelligence of voters. Just because McCain agrees with Bush on some issues, does meet mean he IS Bush... If all the Democrats have to campaign on is, "McCain is Bush!" well they are going to lose this race.
Furthermore, why does this poll shock anyone? The Republican party did what the Democratic party failed to do – they were SMART about their choice of nominee because they looked at the big picture. It wasn't just about what the party machine wanted, it was about November.
I personally am shocked McCain is not further ahead! He certainly will be soon enough.

Umm no. All Clinton supporters I know will not be moving their support to Obama. It doesn't matter if Clinton gets behind Obama or not. There's a reason we didn't vote for Obama and voted for Clinton and nothing has changed. I'm an Independent, not a Democrat, and I will vote for who I think is the best candidate. Since the best candidate is out of the race, I'll vote for the next best candidate. Let me give you a hint. It's not Obama.

Here we go again with "it's close". Anyone objectively looking at this raceknows McCain is very much an unlikely pick by the vast majority of able minded Americans. His defeat will be monumental.

Yeah, 5 months for the republicans to bash Obama....Hilliary could have withstanded it and won the election....Obama will crumble. Too bad, I think the Democrats have blown this one.

"very same clearly frustrated Democrats are having such a hard time understanding why McCain is actually competitive with Obama in the most recent public opinion polls. "

Decided on the new narrative, have we, Wolf?

We're not stupid. Obama and McCain are so close in the polls because until a couple of days ago, Obama was in a THREE-person race.

Now that he's the nominee, people will be able to compare him directly to McCain, and the polls will reflect that....in another couple weeks, because that's how polls work.

CNN is desperate for a tight race, because it gives people a reason to tune in (more eyes for the commercials they sell!) - a blow-out, which this will be, isn't in the corporate media's interest. Expect that every media outlet will be picking the "OMG THEY'RE NECK-AND-NECK" narrative from now until November.

Don't believe it.

useless ticker

To all you "he stole the nomination, she deserves it" hillbilly high school drop out inbreds, the contest is won based on delegates. Obama has more delegates. She would only "deserve" the nomination if she won more delegates. But she doesn't. She lost. The end. Idiots.

What makes you think that the legions of sub-100 IQ having morons are smarter and have a better idea about what is good for the future of our country than the 800 superdelegates?

Sen. Joe Lieberman got some tough talk from Sen. Barack Obama. Is this making news or not?

Inside the Democratic Party must be really messed up, intimidition and manuipulation (the voters and the caucuse manuipulation as well)...and what about all the money behind...

yes we can and we will go !

Obama telling everybody to cam down ....?
Already practicing his DICTATOR SKILLS ?

Don't count on Obama getting a bump in the next few days. I think he'll go lower, thanks to the millions of Hillary backers such as myself who will NEVER support Obama and who are completely disgusted with the way Hillary was treated by the Democratic Party.

I have already sent in my paperwork to change my party affiliation from Democrat to Independent, and that is after being a loyal Democrat for the last 30 years. I donated to McCain last night and will continue to do so until I reach the max, just like I did with Hillary.

I will vote for McCain in November. NOTHING Obama says or does between now and then will ever change my mind. The primary was stolen from the most qualified candidate, and my Florida vote wasn't counted when it would have made a difference thanks to the idiotic leadership of the Democratic Party.

I cannot vote for an inexperienced, radical left-wing racist who has very questionable connections and has said some very strange things in his book. His wife is even worse than he is.

I survived eight years of Bush. McCain is better than Bush and FAR better than Obama. I can survive four years of McCain. I'm not sure any of us would survive four years of Obama.

I can wait until 2012 to elect a better Democrat than Obama. He's the worst I've ever seen.

What about McCAin and the Keating scandal? I remember, if nobody else does.

Well John McCain gets competitive because we, Hillary's supporters, tell pollsters we will vote for him. If he hopes on that, then he is in for a rude shock.
It will take a while for our feelings to be soothed but surely we will come around.

Just wait till August!

This should be close...unless Obama puts hrc on the ticket, then McCain is a sure winner.

The only poll that matters is the one in November. The race won't be close. Obama does not and will not have the support of the Hillary Democrats and Middle America. The same group that voted for Nixon over McGovern. We will not allow our government to be taken over by the leftists in America and controlled by foreign interests.

Given that McCain is so closely tied to Bush and to Bush's policies, the only reason the polls are so close is that Obama has been the subject of so much negative campaigning by Hillary and the Republicans. The country is largely sick of Bush and wants a new direction, one not being offered by the GOP candidate. And so, I expect the polls to show a wider lead by Obama going into November.

I have learned that there are Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. The Repubs are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. Democrats will be united in November!

Mc Cain's supporters are to busy and do not take time to vote in online polls so the 45 percent is obviously converted democrats. I am one. Go Mc Cain

While it is true America is not happy with Bush, look at what America thinks about both houses of the Democrat controlled Congress.

No matter who you support, America will get an upgrade come November

Obama's decision to befriends with Rezko, Wright, Pfleger shows his character, and his ability to take right decisions.

A perosn is also known by the friends he/she keeps.

Guess what ? If any other Politician would have had such sleazy FRIENDS, his/her Political career would've died long ago, but not Obama, coz he is media's baby, and a puppet in the hands of old Washington politicians.

Barack Obama is wise beyond his years and the U.S. will envied by the world when he becomes President. God speed.

It might be a tight race now, but when Obama starts the "momentum engine" again.......it will be not contest.......Obama is going to defeat McCain........and not in a tight race.......he is going to win "big."

MANY CLINTON SUPPORTERD HAVE STATED THAT IS NOT HER THEN THEY WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN, WHY?, THEY SAY THAT THE MICHIGAN AND FL VOTES WERE STOLEN, HOW?

OH I GET IT... CLINTON IS MORE IN LINE WITH MCCAIN HENCE THE REPUBLICANS, AND CLINTON DID NOT BREAK THE RULES AND TRY TO MAKE NEW ONES................ I GET IT NOW...... THE NOCOMMONSENSE ARGUMENT.... BRILLIANT..

OBAMA.................... PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE 2008.................. GOTTA LOVE IT

"But remember – polls are only snapshots. They always change over time, and there’s still five months before Election Day."

So, this is a non-story story?

Mc Cain wants Russia and China out of G8. Means he is a Cold war soldier and does not understand the neccessities of today. He has no real idea about Russia. Very dangerous man....!

Its good to see that Barack is gonna take his time to pick a VP that he sees as an confidant and counsel. He has set up some great goals for the country. I like Barack and I think he will be a great President. John Mccain has no chance of beating anyone since he is the Bush 3rd term and totally uninspiring.

The Republicans must be worried since Mccain has a zero chance of winning. Even with the Racists saying they will never vote for a black man, I am still confident that there exists enough intelligent Americans in this country Republicans, Independants, and the Majority of Dems to make Obama our commander in chief.

Racists, Corporate Lobbyist, Selfish Rich people, with Obama we will make a better world for everyone including you and yours. Hang on to the seat of your pants its gonna be a great journey.

Obama/the American People '08&'12

Wolf it all comes down to character. McCain is a beaming light of that against Obama and I think in the end the people just might leave the rock star in the dust.

As we've seen throughout this campaign, time is never on Obama's side. As more time elapses and people have time to analyze and read into his facade, more and more of his skeletons keep falling out of his closet. This was evident by him limping across the delegate count on his way to the nomination. Unfortunately for Democrats' sake, I fear he may have more than one closet full.

Wright, Ayers, Flegler, Rezko: his response is the same for all 4 of these losers, "The are not the people I have come to know". BULL! How can you say that for up to 20 yrs these people have been your close friends and now all of the sudden they are not who you thought they were. OBAMA = typical hypocrite politician, is this who we want to run our country?

IF HILLARY WOULD JUST GET HER TALENTS OUT OF HIS BACK PERHAPS HE COULD GET ON WITH BEATING THIS GUY.

just wait till another couple of weeks, and Obama will PULL WAYYYY AHEAD!!!

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

17 million of Hilary voters aren't going to vote for McCain come fall. Most will vote for Obama. Any person with sense can tell McCain doesn't even come close to what Hilary believes and that his experience is based on the experience of being in the government in a time where it is as corrupt as its ever been.

Obama has my vote. I am a 25 year old college student. I also will make sure that Obama has the vote of anyone i can get to vote for him. That means, anyone at my college. Obama has the support of the youth. Something Hillary couldn't pull off and McCain can never pull off. We drive this country and are the future. The youth of America has been hit harder than any other age group in the US. All the jobs are gone, college prices are sky high plus we are in a hopeless war which i have a number of friend putting their life for nothing. So i ask you, suck it up, except the loss and embrace Obama.

I have voted for Democratic candidates in every primary election, general election, midterm election and recall election (I voted in CA against the 2003 recall of Gray Davis) since 1996, sometimes enthusiastically and other times not so much, and I have donated money to candidates and the DNC since 2004.

But this nomination is the worst failure of Democratic Party leadership since 1972. I wish pundits would stop saying that Hillary exposed Obama's weaknesses. She didn't. She's a strong candidate with depth. Obama is a weak candidate with nothing but flowery rhetoric and empty slogans. Hillary didn't 'expose' that Obama is sleazy and shallow. He just is sleazy and shallow, and most Democrats who voted in the primaries saw through the smoke and mirrors and saw that he is sleazy and shallow.

The party's leadership has totally failed us.

McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT '08
A moderate Republican and a qualified leader
