CNN

I am a Hillary supporter and lifelong Democrat. I will NOT vote for Obama unless he can explain to me why he called the Trinity people his "friends" – you know, the ones who cheered and applauded the terrible things being said about America and white people. I don't care about Rev. Wright and Pfleger, they are terrible human beings to say the things they did, and Obama stayed in the church for VOTES, plain and simple and he still wants those votes of the people who denounce America. His wife is also a poor example, whining about paying student loans. Cry me a river!

Get ready to say, "PRESIDENT McCAIN" all you Hillary voters!

All the Hillary voters I know are either going to vote for McCain -
or not vote at all.

Obama would be wise to pick Hillary - and announce it IMMEDIATELY.

THE LONGER HE WAITS, the more votes he loses...glug....glug....glug,
down the drain.

It would be nice if these polls broke out the numbers by state......in the end, its the electoral vote that matters, and a total popular vote doesn't tell us what's really happenning....

Your "poll" is bogus - nothing but junk: worthless and meaningless! This is the same kind of polling junk you've been feeding the public since the neo-cons got into your heads in the 2000/2004 elections!

Interesting that they're tied when 24 hours ago Obama was up by 7. I guess Reagan Democrats are making a stand, and regardless of what Obamorons think, they are not leaning to the left. I think they realize if they had to lean that far to the left they would fall over.

An across the board tax increase will only help push this economy into recession., not to mention other flawed policy decisions Obama intends to make, i.e. speaking with Iran, the country who wants to destroy Israel and create WMD's.

My one advice to you ultra liberals (and far right republicans)....try to think independent about every issue. Neither side of the political spectrum is always correct.

Stop reading your left wing blogs and start doing your own independent research...or you are just as pathetic as your right wing counter part.

Age Discrimination is not a Democratic value.

A note to those switching their support to McCain:

If the candidate matters more than the issues, change your vote. If having your preferred candidate is more important to you than the fate of our men/women fightin in Iraq, change your vote. If voting for one woman is more important than preserving all women's reproductive rights, change your vote. If you like our current health care system and have no interest in changing it, switch to McCain. If you liked Iraq, you'll love Iran, so by all means, vote Republican.

Think about it.

I Agree with Park More...!

No Obama and big NOOOOOOOO to Michelle but we will wait for Hillary on 2012

Hillary 2012...Hillary 2012...Hillary 2012...

Once people start looking closer at Obama, McCain will open his lead!

If you are truly a Hillary supporter, you will realize that she is trying to unite the party. I am sure she will be back in four years, but RIGHT NOW SHE IS A UNITER….WHAT ABOUT YOU?"

I personally will vote for McCain in November, regardless what..
Unless Hillary will run as Independent...she will have more than 25 Mill votes in November... Obama will go on the drain...so McCain.

The latest Gallup poll
McCain will beat Barack 46 vs 45
Hillary will beat McCain 48 vs 45
(CBS NEWS) Hilalry beat McCain 50 vs 41

CNN is nuts. Dead Heat? Obama may be in heat, but it isn't a dead heat.
McCain will win by 4 to 1.

CNN may want him in office, but the country will never vote for him-he isn't nearly qualified.

Remember Carter?

What a shame, this is the best the Democrats can do.
Sad

It is crazy and very funny that most of the comments on this board by so called Hillary supporters are saying Obama ran his campaign on a racial basis. If you really think him (Obama) getting the nomination to run for president isn't history then deeply inside you don't like black people and cant deal with the fact that a black man in November will be the leader of this country.

I will not beg Hillary supporters to vote for Obama, do what ever your mind feels like doing but one thing i know for sure is, if Hillary supporters vote for McCain come November and this country gets 4 more years of Bush's policy, you will be hunted for the rest of your lives just because, its disbelieve to many of you that a black man is running for president. So think twice before you make your judgment.

OBAMA 08!!!

It is clear to me that we do not have true democratic process. If we can not consider the weight of 18 million votes, but, rather prefer to count the numbers of super delegates and decide who will be our next president. In spite of belonging to a Democratic party, I rather vote for McCain based on his past accomplishment for our country instead of voting for Future change.( I do not have a crystal ball to see the future. Needless to mention that Mr. Bush, our current president has promised me two times for a change in the past, but no accomplishment)

CNN – you should have a "Common Sense" test for the people to take before anyone is allowed to post their comments.

I am positive you won't see McCain's name anywhere afterwards.

Actually, you can add my vote for Obama.

CNN bashes Hillary and is disrespectful

I believe Kerry was up by 17 points over Bush before they swift voted him. The problem with Obama is that he is always responding to attacks instead of being on the offense. Being the nice person that he is, he doesn't want to get in the dirt, however, if he picks Hillary as his running mate she can go toe to toe with these guys and he can stay above the frey like he did when his people went after her, yet he stood above it all.

I Agree with Hillary Supporter...!

I will cast a vote for John McCain or write in Hillary's name. One thing Obama supporters should stop doing is telling Hillary supporters that we should "get on board" or McCain is like Bush. We can think for ourselves thank you. We do not happen to think Obama is Presidential material so stop shoving him down our throats. Obama will not get us out of the war any faster than McCain. If fact, McCain will get us out more safely. It has been dem. congress and they have not been able to end the war – so what does that tell you. Hillary might be out, but that does not mean Obama is in. We Hillary supporters owe you nothing – so get off your soap box – we are not interested.

After seeing reports like this I think this shows why the Dream Ticket is not a totally fickle idea but rather a way to insure that Democrats win this November. As much as the political pundits have said that it probably won't happen it looks as if it needs to to make a win a reality. I have heard all the stuff that Obama' message would be muddled as he is new change and Hillary is old Washington coupled with the baggage of Bill but if unity and winning is important this is the way to go. I for one would pay more attention to the Demo ticket versus turning the media report off as I'm doing now.

I guess the people commenting to the 18 million who supposedly voted for Clinton to vote for McCann are only punishing themselves.

I believe Obama and Clinton both were treated equally. I like Hillary and would have voted for her if she had received the nomination. There is no way I would vote for another 4 years of McBush.

Florida and Michigan votes were not robbed from Hillary. She knew what the DNC had said would happen if the states did not follow the rules. I actually blame Florida and Michigan for this mess. Why didn't they do the right thing for their citizens, then both could have legitmately campaigned in both states?

Chris, not if Obama takes Ted Strickland. And the jews and hispanics in Florida vote in their best interest.

For Obama it is a very difficult but simple decision. The GE will not be a cake walk against Senator McCain but his chances for success in the GE will be significantly improved if not guaranteed if he selects Hillary Clinton as his running mate (the VP position.

If he listens to the Hillary haters within his party or continues to exhibit the arrogance that he has been showing towards Hillary then there is a good chance that Hillary will be running for the Presidency in 4 years after McCain completes his one and only term.

Obama better win this time cuz America might not be the same anymore after four more years of Bush policies...........the ECONOMY is going down........and we all know that every GREAT nation that ever stood before started declining after its economy started declining!!!!!!!!
SOOOOOOO YA.....OBAMA 08

Try going to realclearpolitics.com. They have good breakdowns of all polls including the battleground states. And while Clinton beats Obama in Florida notice IOWA. That is going to be a big part of the campaign this year. You want to contest the big states but you also want to poach a few smaller states as well. It all about getting to 270!

For those of you "SO CALLED" Democrats, voting for Mccain, You and Your Family deserve exactly what you will get with another Repub as President.

This is not about any canidate this is about our Country. Nothing will get down with a Deomocrat Senate, house and congress with a Repub president.

You people are really acting like you're in highschool. We are grown and for you to act the way is unacceptable.

The Repubs cut MI/FL into half delagates so what is your real arguement here.

So when you're paying 6 dollars for gas, get laid off, and kids won't be able to go to school because of lack of funds .. blame yourself. You're the same idiots that voted for bush and the problem with America!

I am sick and tired of hearing about the number of people who did not vote for Obama. No one seems to focus on the number of votes he did receive, which were enough to win the nomination. This latest poll by CNN carries as much weight as a snow flake. We will be inundated wil polls before the Nov general election. The democrats will come together soon and help to propel Sen Obama to the presidency.

Why is O'bama an African-American candidate? American should be proud of our first bi-racial candidate. I will not support him, but as a teacher of social studies I will praise our society for seeing past the racial differences that have divided our country for way too long. Bi-racial (ism) is the new wave in the US. O'Bama is a wonderful example of this acceptance by the population of the United States of American.

Go McCain!

I really don't understand how all the Hillary supporters can be so upset at Obama. The guy has run an incredibly above board and gracious campaign since day one. He has not attacked her NEARLY as much as he could have and I'm sure, others would have wanted him to. I don't get how you can be so upset at him.

Secondly, all this talk about sexism is ridiculous when frankly, many of the outspoken Hillary supporters are backing her first and foremost because she is a woman!! I mean, THAT is sexism when you support someone primarily (not saying entirely) because of her gender!!

My voting pattern:

1980 Reagan
1984 Reagan
1988 George Bush Sr
1992 Ross Perot
1996 none (would have voted Ross Perot)
2000 (unfortunately) George Dubya Bush against Sore-Loserman
2004 none (would have voted McCain)
2008 OBAMA

Lifelong conservative voting for a liberal for the first time in my life. Never imagined I would ever do that.

OBAMA 08

I as an Obama supporter, and African American am proud of Obama, and especially this Country. I won't say the next 8 yrs will be the best, but I'll say they'll be noticeably better than the last 8. Obama supporters, stop bashing Clinton. Let them bash Obama if they so choose. They're hurt, and understandably so. Now is the time to unify. Even Hillary's own congressional delegation had to pull the plug. But now that she will endorse and campaign for Obama, the vast majority of her supporters will fall in line.

One poster writes, "I would vote for the devil I know over the devil I don't know.And I am a Democrat.Go McCain '08 !!!!"

ANd this is precisely what so many of us do in so many areas of our lives: We avoid change because of our fear of the unknown.
How many people do you know that stay in the same jobs, the same relationships because they are afraid to embrace the unknown?

Let's all let go of the rocks we cling to in the river and move on downstream.

To really mix things up in this weird and crazy election, I think John McCain and Hillary Clinton should join together on the same ticket...You want change...sounds good to me....
I Will never vote for Barack Hussein Obama....he is too dangerous, and we do not know enough about this man....And Michelle Obama what a joke she is...so fake....
With that said, I will have nothing more to do with the Democratic Party...
I will along with 18+ million other people will always be a Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter...

Listen up people I'm sick and tired of this party being so split because Obama Beat Hillary... we finally have a candidate that will start to lift the nation out of the hole the Republicans have been digging for the last eight years, and all i keep hearing is i don't know if i can vote for Obama after he beat Hillary. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Hillary supporters stop being bitter about the loss, go find an Obama supporter so you can kiss and make up. We have a bigger problem and i call him John McCain Bush the 3rd!! So get it together people, let's unite and start something that will echo in the history books from now until the end of time. WHO'S WITH ME!!!

To all the "Hillary or MCCain" ""Democrats""..... Good riddance...

Get ready for another Republican president to mess up our country even more..... Should have had Hillary in November!!

To all thinking Democrats,

Be as loyal to the Democratic Party as it is to itself.

The leadership has failed us all.

McCain for President '08

I think a great many Obama supporters still don't get it - but why should they, since the national media doesn't either. I do not think the ardent Hillary supporters dislike Obama as much as they do some of you, along with your stupid, hateful comments. In addition, the media continues to be in the bag for Obama, not even allowing Clinton a graceful exit after 15 months of trench warfare (holy moses, what difference does 3 days matter at this point, if it makes her and her supporters more comfortable doing it their way). When the Clinton bashing STOPS, then I believe the environment will have been created for a true reconciliation. For those who think the country missed some great opportunity to hold hands on Tuesday evening, I remind you that we have the convention in August, the election in November, and (hopefully) the inauguration in January, at which time the entire country can celebrate the annointing, election, and swearing in, respectively, of our first African American President. In the meantime, 'ol dopey ones' keep your eyes on the prize - the Presidency in 2009.

So .. to all those Clinton haters on the blogs - take a deep breath and settle down. A little kindness at this time will go a very long way in uniting both sides. And that definitely is in the interests of Obama, and that should be in the best interest of our nation - at least that is supposed to be the battle cry, isn't it!

So...every negative thing Hillary said about McCain ( and would continue to say about him if she were the nominee ) is now going to be overlooked by her supporters when they cast their vote? The irony of this is that you do not even honor Hillary's point of view or political stance if you give your vote to the man she would have run against! it is quite ridiculous.
I think this only shows we have a racist country after all.
John McCain may be all the negative things Hillary said and a Republican- but he will now garner Democratic votes because he is WHITE.

AS A VOTER WHO IS BACKED BY MILLIONS, BARACK BETTER KNOW THAT WE DEMAND HER ON THE TICKET BECAUSE I AS AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE WINS . JUST MCAIN!! PUT HER ON THE TICKET OR START WRITING YOUR OWN CONCESSION SPEECH OBAMA. WE GOT THE SAME STRENGTH AS THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS AND IF WE BACKED MCAIN HE WOULD WIN. DONT THINK THAT I CARE ABOUT THE PARTY CAUSE I DONT!!!PERIOD. YOU SEE HILLARY CANT DEMAND THAT SHE BE ON THE TICKET, BUT WE CAN!!!!THE VOTERS!!!

Josh,

You and your ilk are the epitome of just how stupid voters are in this country. And good Lord, there are so many stupid ones.

To say that you'll vote for a candidate who is a political opposite of your candidate, just because your "favorite person" didn't make the nomination is ludicrous.

So, if Hillary is the candidate, you're saying: "I want the war over. I want universal healthcare. I want to restore our country's standing in the world."

But if Hillary's not the candidate, you're saying "I want the war to continue, I think universal healthcare is a failed idea, and I want the world to continue disrespecting and hating our country."

Yep. That settles it. You're an idiot.

I am with you Hillary Supporter!!!

if OBAMA loose ,It going to be because of Hillary and when Hillary is going to run at 2012, she is gonna loose because of Obama supporters,so do not be stupid vote for democrates.
OBAMA 08 &12

Keep the faith and stick to the issues;

All Democratic must stay positive and focus...

Too many of american or suffering from the rise in gas and home forclosures.

Too many servicemembers are dying and a senseless war.

Send John McCain to the funeral of every dead service member family member and let hime explain why this war is important to the parents and wives and children....

Obama Sucks.....America is about ready to fall....look up the eastern sky is about to split

The pure nastiness of the Obamies, toward anything not Obama, just turns my stomach. How do they expect to govern after disrespecting everything that's not Obama? I hope they don't get that chance. At least then all we'd have to listen to is how their guy was cheated out of the presidency by (fill in the blank)..

McCain for president!!!

I can guarantee that some of these "Nobama"..."Dave" and "gregg" comments are coming from the same person. Why? because they share the same IP address. lol

McCain is so wrong for this country on so many levels, it would be suicide to elect him. Vote with responsibility and hold the Republicans responsible this November America!

it is the inexperience of Obama we need to worry about. As History has show if You negotiate with a Dictator the best example is ( Adolf Hitler & Arthur Neville Chamberlain) the famous phrase I saved world peace Little did he know and i am sure he believed in what he did. But id shows You can not negotiate with a dictator without strenghtening his position. Obama is not experienced and does not understand the impact of his statements. He is dangerous for our country and for the whole middle east peace process. Please think of "Arthur Neville Chamberlain i saved world peace" when You go to the election I urge You

GO MCCAIN!!!! YOU HAVE MY VOTE AND 50 OTHER FRIENDS, & FAMILY MEMBERS. OBAMA WILL LOOSE!!! A BORN AGAIN REPUBLICAN. GO GO GO MCCAIN!!!

McCain has experience -political- military – and for us older folks age of wisdom – Obama has limited experience as a politican let alone aworld leader. I'm still a evil republican who'll vote for McCain

For those few Obama haters…what is he going to do to our country? Maybe he will wreck the economy, Drive us to a pointless war, Run up the deficit, Make us hated around the world? Been there and living that. Should I continue...
Now stop your hating and do what most countries in the world are doing at this moment and admire Barack Hussein Obama because whether or not you all like it I and a lot of (ignorant) people are going to do whatever it takes to hear a State of the Union address from this man. How's them apples!
PS All McCain supporters should be drafted first and if they are women they should be present and cheer on the day when he and his appointed judges overturn a woman's right to choose.

The Clinton's can't/won't release their financial records showing where the millions of dollars for bill's library came from...she won't be VP over it.
And you question Obama over Rezko….Wright…..Ayers……Farrakhan……Phleger...Ayers was never even tried for anything by the way.
Wright and Phlegar compared to Hagee look like boy scout counselers...
Get real,get real issues.

You can't vote for "change" if you don't know what that change is. Obama never says. It will be too late. It's really a sad day for this country. Obama and his wife are the racists. You actually want them in the White House? Be careful what you ask for. You might just get it.

Please go ahead and vote for McCain you sad and bitter Hillary supporters. After 4 years of continued tax cuts for the wealthy, increased foreclosures, cuts in healthcare/medicare and outsourcing of jobs under the McCain regimes, I seriously doubt many of you will be around in 2012. Obama supporters are well off and can handle another 4 years like the last 8.

it's the only way to give justice to flo and mic voters

WOW!

Sad to say, but I want Obama to somewhat lose to prove to the DNC they made a HUGE mistake.

Yes, it was historic for him to gain the Democratic Nomination as the first African-American to do so ((clap, clap)), but it clearly wasn't his time, and this is where McCain will prevail in Nov.

After the 2004 election, a newspaper headline overseas asked "How Can Americans Be That Dumb?!"

These poll results refelect why and vindicate the headline. Or, as I suspect, the race card is in play here!

If Americans want four more years of failed foreign policy , vague references to domestic policy and BushLight intelligence, then I suggest all the GOP form their own country and put McCain in charge.

Someone still needs to tell me how it took almost 100 years for oil to get to $28/barrel, including two years into the current president's reign of terror, yet in 5 short years it is now at $122/barrel?!?!?! (The fact that Bush and Cheney come from the oil industry is pure coincidence, too, right??) Yet McCain can not address this issue!

McCain – 2008 = Dole – 1996

To quote the swim coach in the movie "Back To School" – "Hey, Mellon.......we need ya!!!"

McCain is a liar, an adulterer, and an enabler (helping his wife get off the hook for falsifying PERSCRIPTION DRUGS in the name of her emplyees - yep she got of free as a bird people)

Those are NOT AMERICAN VALUES!

McCain won't last he's too old for this race, Obama has more potencial and credibility to wins the elections....

GO OBAMA!!!!!

it is very clear that Hillary supports don't want to support Obama clearly because he is black. she hate that she lost to a black man. peolpe when does it end. this economy is the worst it has been in 20 years. why would want to support mccain if he want to continue bush polotics? the rising cost of gas & grocery, loss of jobs due to high cost of fuel, the weak $$$. what shell are you living in!!!!!! we can't afford another 4 years of bush...it handed on a silver platter from mcsain. hillary did not get the nomination for president. i will vote for obama beacuse we can't afford mccain. i like hillary even though her campaign sucked. we need obama for president and hillary for vp. it would be good for AMERICA. we are already the most hated country and the only way to reslove some of this problem is to make peace. for every hillary voter who is struggling like me please vote for CHANGE!!! Vote OBAMA and Clinton.

No Obama and big NOOOOOOOO to Michelle but we will wait for Hillary on 2012

Amazing that so many people are fooled by someone with a good stump speech and zero experience. The White House is no place for someone on training wheels. At least in the General Election, the DNC can't pick the President in a back room deal. This is a choice between experience, and none; between a war hero and no service, between integrity and Rev. Wright's philosophy, between being proud of america all the time, or only when you win, between defeating terrorism or having them over for drinks.

tg and other upset bloggers,

It's time to unite and stop complaining. If you choose to support McCain, so be it your choice, but that does not discredit Obama's bid for presidency!! He has just as many supporters as any other candidate and he has inspired millions of people here and abroad!!

Let us have our moment in American History regardless of who you support!! America has come a long ways, but we have a long ways to go!! Obama has a right to run for president as anyone else and he has raised 260 million dollars to prove it!!

Why can't we be for someone without being against their opponent? I can respect McCain and Hillary, but I support OBAMA!!

Can we have peace...please???

There are americans friends, family and loved ones who are being killed in a very unpopular war. Lets help settle this mess and get the U.S. back on its feet. This is more than politics and a game, its about peoples lives. The U.S. is lagging behind in the world and up and coming countries are just waiting for us to crumble and SPLIT!!! We have to come together.

To all you people blogging, make up your own mind. Do some heavy legit research and stop listening to the media. Its either DEM or REP now, who do you want????

Charlotte
Mc Cain will win and the troops will be in Iraq the next 100 years. I suppose you are saying this is because you have no family member, no friend in Iraq. Good luck to you

i will never support or vote for obama

All these Republican shills coming on and inflamming internet users by pretending to ditch Dems because Hillary lost the nom are genius. That some of you morons buy it is terrifyingly reflective of our dumb nation.

how long has mc c been campaining all by himself without competition and, IS BEHIND???? he is a loser, warmonger
and that smirk will not work this time around with smarter voters, we have an

UPDATE to make:

voters for Mr. Obama: millionssssss (check the S´s for more voters)

those with hatred and racists for mc c: seven

YES everyone vote McCain for 100 years of war. Where can I sign up to go to IRAQ? Who is with me?

MY GOD HOW CAN THAT BE TRUE?? I SHUTTER TO EVEN ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF ANOTHER BUSH AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE OF THAT, EVEN MENTIONING THEIR NAMES IN THE SAME SENTENCE, IS A TRAVESTY, THIS MAN THINKS LIKE BUSH,HAS A VERY SHORT FUSE, AND MUST HAVE HIS WAY, IS ALMOST AS DUMB AS BUSH, HAS A NEPOLIANIC COMPLEX [as bush} and god forbid he should be Awakened at 3 to answer the phone. HE IS EVERY THING BUSH IS, AND STANDS FOR, AND OBAMA IS EVERYTHING BUSH IS NOT, OBAMA WILL BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO SANITY, AND MAKES US PROUD TO BE AMERICANS AGAIN. I DON'T BELIEVE THE POLLS,BECAUSE I BELIEVE AMERICAN ARE NOT THAT DUMB TO FALL FOR ANOTHER BUSH, WE [NOT I] FELL FOR IT ONCE, PLAY THE FEAR CARD AND THEY WILL COME,AND IF ALL OF THE ABOVE IS NOT ENOUGH, HE HAS "ROVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would much rather support 4 years of McCain then the anti christ forever.

Like Hitler, who was one of history's antichrist archetypes, he will have great charisma & speaking ability, "a mouth speaking great things".

OK ..its gonna be a regular run of the mill election....OBAMA will win NY california..etc..etc...just like ALL democrats do....

it will come down to TWO STATES......... OHIO and FLORIDA..

MCcain wil win both of those states.....

Remember Clinton supporters,

Just because she HAD 18 million supporters prior to Tuesday, well that number has since been cut in half to now 9 million supporters and going down. Because roughly 9 million voters have since cast their support for the Democratic PARTY. Some of us have "healed" already and see that party unity is greater than childish tantrums. Please take note when you post things like "No Hillary then McCain" or "Denver here we come", as Spock would say "this is illogical."

Montana Voters Closing Numbers Tuesday June 3

MCSHAME #3 among repuke candidates – ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

General Election: McCain vs. Obama CBS News Obama 48, McCain 42 Obama +6.0
Obama: Favorable/Unfavorable CBS News Favorable 41, Unfavorable 31 Favorable +10.0
McCain: Favorable/Unfavorable CBS News Favorable 34, Unfavorable 37 Unfavorable +3.0

Now that Obama has won the nomination, I hope Hillary will become an active member in his administration. I hope that her supporters will come together and support Obama also, because he wants the things that core democrats want. Please don't let these guys who keep posting negative things, with their hate filled rants diverge you from the path to helping put a man who can champion our cause in the white house. We have an opportunity to make something great happen and to have faith in our political system, please let's not squander it.

I wish Hillary will run as Independent, she will beat McCain and Barack.

Between Barack and McCain, I will vote for McCain...

To Hillary's supporters, please do not stay home in November but go out vote for McCain.

I will volunteer to join McCain supporter soon.

WE DO NOT WANT HILLARY AS VP!!! WE DO NOT TRUST HER PERIOD!

why do my comments always say awaiting moderation and never post??

Obama always does much better in polls than he does in actual vote counts. The polls had him beating Clinton in South Dakota and she slaughtered him.

If Obama is in a tight race in the polls, he is in BIG trouble.

Time for Democrats to unite , this is about our kids and Grandkids people.

Whether you like Clinton or Obama...OBAMA is the nominee and the Democratic Party NEEDS TO UNIFY TOGETHER to get Democrat in office. We can do it! With all the Dems united, McSame doesn't stand a chance. Forget personality, think about the politics. We need to unify!

I will eather write Hillary's name as write in or vote for maccain or
stay home. Take this punch dnc rule committeee.

I am so sick of all these HIllary Supportors speaking Womens rights and women treated unfairly... Well as an African American women. When women were fighting for the right to vote, they weren't considering African American women. We were still fighting for our rights to be recognized as an human being!!!!

Now that is something to think about!

All you voting for Mc Cain, because Hillary did not get the nomination is sick. You don't care about your lively hood, your children or your grandchildren. BY NO MEANS DO WE AS AMERICANS NEED ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. WE WILL BE DOOMED.

Think smart. If Barack lost the nomination, I would have voted for Hillary. I am a true DEMOCRAT

DEMOCRATS UNITE

OBAMA 08

I can't see why anyone would vote for Obama. George Bush and the Republican party have done a great job over the past 8 years. Even John McCain, who is known for being a straight talker says so!

"Americans overall are better off because we have had a pretty good prosperous time, with low unemployment and low inflation, and a lot of good things have happened," McCain said in a Jan. 30 debate of Republican candidates at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.

More of the SAME! Vote John McCain 2008!

Hillary voters who will now switch their allegiance to McCain confirm my suspicion that there is little to no difference between Clinton and McCain/Bush.
Is it any wonder she LOST?
We don't want another Republican, and any Democrat who does not know back Obama out of petty spite and jealousy over Hillary's loss is just a Republican.
Just like Hillary.
Good on you America, for seeing this and sending Obama on the road to Washington!

No more Republican liars and propagandas….they will lose this election big time both senate seats and the presidency…We don't care what the bias polls say… No one is going to vote for 100 yrs war, bomb bomb Iran, gas @5.00, unemployment, foreclosures, tax cut for the rich and cowboy diplomacy except those living inside a box….

People who switch from Hillary to McCain are clearly not progressive thinkers. Good riddance!

CNN:

why is your 'poll of polls' always different every day?

Obama WILL win! These polls are being stacked by silly supporters of Clinton who refuse Obama for NOT GOOD REASON other than being sore losers!

We're not begging for your support but you all need to get on board!

It's sad when Dems are being pandered to by Repugs and they fall for it because they refuse to vote on the issues and not petty emotional BS!

Obama '08!

The media is spinning again. Maybe they should take a look at all the Hillary Supporters who have now joined the McCain for President website and pledged their support to him in November.

I can't wait for November when the McCain wins and Obama and the Democrats get swept under the rug for good!!!!

Clinton supporters that vow to stay home or vote McCain will only be hurting themselves in the long run. If their lack of support shows up as a major reason McCain wins, then I promise you that Clinton will not have any kind of future in politics. Her supporters will have made her into a very bad omen.
The rest of the democratic party will be upset at Clinton and her supporters and she'd stand no chance of winning anything in 4 or 8 years.
If Obama wins, and the Clinton fanatics are still at it, then I can tell you she still won't have a chance in 8 years to run again.
The crazy fanatics are making a very very bad name for Clinton, and are only hurting themselves.
Clinton didn't lose because of sexism or the media. I and many others would be proud to vote for a woman, and the media declared her a winner before the first vote was cast. Any time she would start to catch back up to Obama, they'd cast her as the comeback kid and talk about how she still has a great chance of winning. It wasn't until the math was completely against here did anyone question why she was still in this.
Clinton lost because she ran a campaign based on the type of politics we want to get rid of. She lost because she underestimated Obama. She lost fair and square because she was not the best candidate.
I would have been proud to vote for her at the start of this process, but her somewhat dirty tactics, and her crazy fans that would rather cry foul than try to campaign fairly, made me lose a lot of respect for her.

Her addition to the ticket would not be the best thing for the party. She does not appeal to GOP or Indy voters. Obama needs a running mate that will help him in swing states, with GOP voters, or with Indy voters. Those are the battlegrounds. Clinton will only unite the GOP against the Dems. McCain is seen as more moderate than Clinton by Indy voters. The party needs to unite behind the party and stop this childish blackmailing for votes BS. Clinton could do a lot more with a cabinet position such as Sec of State any day than she could with a VP slot.

All of the supposed Hillary supporters are likely scum from the repugnant party just meesing up the forum. Any true supporter of Hillary like myself will wholeheartedly support Obama as the candidate and the DNC.

"CNN plz post my note.
I am strong Hillary supporter but there is not way for me to vote for Obama even if she is on the ticket.
I completely don't trust him, consider him as phenomen created by shamelessy proObama's media and corrupted DNC who knows that he is weak person and they hope to control him wheil he is in WH."

You have no life!!! LOL!!!!! I got some advice for you.... maybe, just maybe, if you don't pay attention to this election, you'll be fine......TRUST ME! LOL!!!!

It seems to me that some people are gonna need "medication", LOL!!!! Looks like this "therapy" was good.....but not too good! LOL!!!!

I told you we have an idendity crisis..........

I will cast a vote for John McCain or write in Hillary's name. One thing Obama supporters should stop doing is telling Hillary supporters that we should "get on board" or McCain is like Bush. We can think for ourselves thank you. We do not happen to think Obama is Presidential material so stop shoving him down our throats. Obama will not get us out of the war any faster than McCain. If fact, McCain will get us out more safely. It has been dem. congress and they have not been able to end the war – so what does that tell you. Hillary might be out, but that does not mean Obama is in. We Hillary supporters owe you nothing – so get off your soap box – we are not interested.

I am a middled aged white male...age does matter...McCain may have wisdom...but with wisdom you often lose vision....We do not need another old white guy in the White House. And we do not know him...remember George Jr. the uniter, not a divider and his "run the country like a business"...Yeah right.....Please God...No More.....

Check Nobama's vote record at votesmart.org and you will all wake up and realize we are in some major trouble. For that matter, check Hillary's and McCain's record too and feel even worse. Any hope for our future?

T:

It's not that we aren't democrats or Americans, we've been personally offended by the attacks on Hillary and her supporters. Some of them have started to play nice, but I feel it's too late for that.

She has been called every name in the book. Fact is, Obama split the party, not Hillary. Her supporters have been with her from day 1. I personally feel half of the party abandoned her (and us) and that's hard to forgive.

He needs her – I hope he realizes that. If she were to declare herself as an independent, this party would no longer be competetive. She isn't going to do that, though. She must not be as hateful and self-centered as many of you have accused her to be. She may have forgiven you, but I'm not sure I can.

As a democrat and a veteran, it has deeply saddened me this week to read some of these comments. I hear on CNN that we are trying to unite the party but reading the comments all week most said they will not support the other democratic candidate. So how can we start healing this rift if we will not support the other candidate and continue writing such negative comments toward the candidates. We should all be supporting each other by banding together and make sure the democratic party takes back the White House! McCain says he wants to be in Iraq for a hundred years, and he is also not supportive in the universal healthcare, so we have to take back the White House so we can bring our troops home and start taking care of Americans.

Thank you very much,

Joel, MN

STOP WITH THE POLLS!

Surveying 1000-2000 is NOT a good representation of the American people!

Hillary Clinton 2012, enough said!!

HRC supporters your candidate is USING you as bargaining tools. Please get a clue and stop acting like petty children.

I loved the fact that Hillary ran for her campaign but I think Obama is the respectable candidate. You cant really believe that Hillary was cheated out. The media made Obama name worse than Hillary's name. Now that she lost everyone's knocking Obama. Either way this went I would have been happy being a black woman.

Of all the people posting here – how many of us have ever been polled? I seriously wonder about the credibility of all the numerous polls when NO ONE I have spoken to has ever participated in one.
Just WHO do they contact?

Who is voting for McCain? People that dont mind a couple more years of war? People that dont mind high gas prices( that come with a couple more years with war)? With higher gas prices, the price of transporting goods goes up. The more it costs to transport goods, then the price of everything.. EVERYTHING goes up.

Our pay is not going up but the price of every single thing in sight at the grocery store and just about any store is going up. This is a bad thing. How do we save ourselves? By ending war. We are diverting millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel to Iraq and Afganistan to fight. Thus, causing the demand to go up. Higher demand causes higher prices.

No war.. please...

As Senators Obama and McCain enter into the next phase of this election process, I have confidence that my candidate will shine as the debates begin. McCain will try to use personal attacks on Sen. Obama and patronize Clinton with compliments (which he just recently started to show such profuse admiration for her) to pander to a part of her base. Dems, don't let the GOP doop us out of another election. The world is watching to see if we as the people of this country will reject the failed policies of George Bush. And Dems, no more bashing of Sen. Clinton. She is a democrat and is on our side. Period. I have confidence she will campaign for Obama since she understands what is at hand. I may not agree with her brand of politics, but she will offer her unique talents to advance the party along with her colleagues. A house divided cannot stand and that is what the GOP wants. We must unite and stop attacking each other to give the GOP a mighty blow. Obama '08

Democrats UNITE.

I am a life long democrat and have never voted for a republican but I will not vote for Obama. I wouldn't vote for him in a million years. No way, Jose. Instead, I will vote for McCain and you know why.

McCain in 08'

How many years was McCain a POW? Tell me he doesn't have PTSD and I won't believe you. No one can undergo that level of mental and physical torture for so long without residual effects. No one. As much as I honor the guy's sacrifice, we need someone healthy and vigorous in charge.

Jeff Tobin is a tool, Jack Cafferty is a joke, Anderson Cooper (bless his soul) needs to come out for "gay men for Obama", and Gloria Borgia is a disgrace.

People face it! how hard is it ?
McCain = More of the same
McCain = More of the same
McCain = More of the same

Clinton folks who are willing to vote for McCain:

Are you really THAT willing to trash everything Clinton stands for by doing this out of spite? Do you think that is what Clinton would want you to do? Here is a thought – use your brain for a few minutes and think. I do hope that Clinton addresses this sick attitude that seems to be out among her supporters of "ill vote McCain then!" as it is really tiring and I cannot imagine Hillary being proud of ANY supporter of hers who would have the gall to do such a thing. If you do vote McCain all it tells me is you are not a true supporter of HER ideals and are willing to take a piss on her lifes work just out of spite. Sad indeed.

Jesse Ventura ran for governor of Minnesota in the 90's. No one took him seriously because they only saw him as a washed-up wrestler. They did not take into account all of the 18-35 year olds who saw him as an icon. They turned out in record droves to vote for him.

Barack Obama is the icon of this generation's 18-35 year olds. I know that some in that age category don't like him, but they are a minority. Obama is this generation's JFK. Don't agree with the comparison? I think it's accurate. He has inspired many people, including me, who were apathetic about politics.

I do not believe for a second that Obama is really only a couple of points ahead of McCain. Do Americans really want the Bush policies for four more years or do they want change, for real?

We'll see in November. June polls are meaningless.

Just remember, America, McCain does not support affordable healthcare for all Americans, pretends to be a maverick when he has just as many high-powered lobbyists as any other candidate, and panders to the right, when it suits him.

Democrats have been running the country since 2006. They could have out voted Bush on many things...why haven't they? Remember all the Dems that won in 2006 said they were going to change they why haven't they? These are the real questions, and the Dems have been running my state of Michigan and look we are the worst state in the nation with unemployment.

Yep, and Nobama is going to be 10 points behind after the republicans get a hold of him. Better pick Hillary as your running mate if you expect to win this November.

Hillary supporters stand together and either stay home in November or vote for McCain, please do not let Obama take over the white house, he is a liar and the media won him the nomination.

Hillary or McCain 08

I still believe Hillary had a good chance at winning. I'll be listening to both Obama and McCain and will vote for the best candidate. That's the way it is and should be.

Ziaur Rahman June 5th, 2008 11:31 am ET

GO GO McCain….We will vote for you…….we are supporting Clinton….since she is out now we will vote for…..10 more votes for you McCain from our family……..so good luck….
===================================================

So, in the end he will have 10 votes. ha. Even the conservative right is not going to vote for the guy. Ziaur you are a clown.

JOSH I will vote mccain if hillary is not on the ticket. PERIOD!!!!

Go right ahead, I am sure there is a Republican taking your place!

I DON'T LIKE TO TYPE IN CAPS BUT I CAN'T YELL SO THIS WILL HAVE TO DO FOR EMPHASIS:

A REMINDER TO US ALL THAT THE MEDIA IS PAID WELL TO DO THE BIDDING OF THOSE THAT SEEK TO MANIPULATE WHAT WE THINK. STAY INFORMED AND DON'T RELY SOLELY ON THE MEDIA FOR INFORMATION.
THEY'RE HOPING WE'LL EAT WHATEVER "NEWS" THEY DISH OUT. THEY'RE HOPING THEY CAN PROVIDE US WITH ENOUGH DIVERSIONS SO WE WON'T THINK ABOUT MORE PRESSING CONCERNS.
THEY'RE HOPING WE CAN BE SWAYED THROUGH FEAR TACTICS.

THERE TRULY IS A NEW PARADIGM SHIFT OCCURING AND IT'S BECAUSE OF ALL US "LITTLE" PEOPLE. WE'RE WAKING UP, TAKING STOCK, STAYING INFORMED AND NOT BEING DISTRACTED OR PRESSURED BY FEAR OR VEILED THREATS.

INDEED, 'WE MUST BE THE DRIVING FORCE OF CHANGE NOW." AS THE SAYING GOES, "WE'RE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR."

Peace.

obama, obama ra ra ra!!!!
God Bless America.

A vote for McCain (or a vote AGAINST Obama in the form of a Nader or write-in vote for Hillary) is a vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and a vote for more soldiers dying in Iraq.

A lot of people thought Gore could come back in 2004 or Kerry in 2008, what happened to them. A lot can happen in four years.

I never understood how any real Democrat could support someone who voted for the war anyway.

Obama supporters, I think your past is now going to come back to haunt you. Remember on any state Obama lost, you either made an excuse or said something like "that state it racist" or "bunch of uneducated dummies". I don't think people will want to vote for Obama if they here nasty talk about their state. But I'm sure now you guys will be as sweet as sugar to those states, until Obama loses in the fall!

McLame is better then Nobama!

You know what sickens me to my stomach? All of this bitterness and bickering back and forth with the demorcats. I swear if I hear one more time about a "Hillary supporter" voting for McCain in November if she isn't on the ticket, I am going to scream! How stupid and ignorant is that? Being bitter and one sided is definitely going to hurt us all in the end. Did we (excluding me because I was smart enought not to vote for him) not learn from voting for Bush for a SECOND TERM? LOOK WHERE IT GOT US!

Hillary said so herself that her and Obama share little differences when it comes to the issues and what they stand for compared to Obama and McCain. So what is it about Obama that makes the "Hillary Supporters" simply not want to support him? Give me some concrete & realistic reasons besides the same ol, he's not experienced and he dreams too much bs. Some of you just don't want to give the man a chance and would rather vote for a man who shares the same ideas as BUSH. McCain can sit here all day and say that he only agreed with a few of things dealing with Bush but if you do your research you'd be surprise. Please people don't be ignorant, if you want to vote McCain after doing all the research on where he stands (and you agree with what he stands for) then FINE, but don't be stupid and vote because you're angry Hillary didn't make the cut. Think about it.

As a hillary supporter, I am now voting for McCain.

Here is to Hillary is 2012!!!

JOSH June 5th, 2008 11:31 am ET

i will vote mcain if hillary is not on the ticket.PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

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

Josh, get back into your Republican closet.

How about a new poll and take it now AFTER the nomination!!

not only americans are excited for Senator Obama
they showed the bars and restaurants in my city ....country Canada..
and the people were going crazy!!!!
Senator Obama is not only liked and respected in America but all around the world
Its Historical ...very Historical
Obama 08

Watch out for Republicans commenting here.

Anyone saying they will "switch sides" and vote for McCain is most likely a Republican hoping to continue our party's in-fighting to help McCain in November.

Democrats have strong values and we vote values. No Democrat will be voting for McCain. He goes against every single Democratic value that we hold dear.

The Republicans are going down, and this country will be back on the right path!

Let's wait until the campaigning for the election really starts, for a poll. If McSames speech the other night is an example of his campaigning skills, Obama will roll over him like a tank.

hey, "Voting Obama"

you said "No more republicans. Stop the drama and vote Obama!! "

but we're not the ones that took six months to figure out our candidate.

It's funny that the overall polls are so close, but 90% of these comments are screaming about how awful McCain is.
We've been trying to convince the world about the liberal media for years, and everyone says we're wrong.

By the way, the spread is about 50-50 over on Fox News right now, a little closes to that split down the middle, and you claim that they are Conservative-biased...

Don't forget about the Libertarian party. They will probably take a small percentage of McCain's voters. I'm surprised the news isn't mentioning then yet.

WHAT ARE DRAFT RULE.

I do agree that the media has been very harsh to Senator Clinton. There are so many comments that are just personal opinions throw out to your audience that are not based on true facts. I have been offended by the punduts who are so critical when it appears they are just expressing a bias against both President and Mrs. Clinton. As a listener, I just want to know factual information not spinning!

Obama cannot "win over" those segments of the population who strongly supported Sen. Clinton. His only hope is that these people would rather have a Democrat in the White House rather than a Republican.

If Hillary's supporters will now look at who comes closest to what they supported Hillary for and not make this personal against the person who beat her, this poll will definitely widen.

Each Hillary supporter will have to determine for himself or herself if the anger and disappointment is worth voting against your own best interest.

In 2000 I paid $1.35 per gallon for gas ($35 for a full tank) and yesterday I paid $4.07 per gallon ($90 for a full tank).

I ask you, is the anger and disappointment worth voting against your own best interest?

For me the answer is no. It’s Obama with or without Clinton as VP

Has anyone ever bought a new car that they really couldn't afford because they wanted it so badly that they let their desire to have it overwhelm their commen sense? Did any of you get sucked into a subprime mortgage with no money down and are now on the brink of, or are in foreclosure because you wanted that house so badly you really didn't think it through? Did that car salesman or mortgage lender at the time make it all seem to good to be true? Did you find out later that it was? Remember there is a price to pay for everything we say or do. Nothing is for free. And never loose site of the fact that when you're made promises that seem to good to be true they generally are. Think about how that may apply to the candidates and then make the best decision you can.

Hillary LOST. Now, either be a Democrat and support Obama, or sit at home mourning the destruction of the Clinton "Legacy".

John macain all the way! Barack Hussein Osama is OVER!

Obama supporters won't vote for Obama if Clinton is the running mate??? I've heard of sore losers, but sore winners??
(Maybe that should be sore "whiners") Maybe this is an unhealthy foreshadow of an Obama presidency.

peakarach,des moines June 5th, 2008 10:51 am ET

I think all 18 million of us strong must unite and vote for McCain in the fall,so we can send a strong message to the party leader,Hussein Obama and the whole media not to mess with Hillary and her supporter.

Go team Hillary!
====================================================

Yea, do just that so she can be blamed and drummed right out of the Senate. Go ahead I dare you!

American-style democracy is bizarre. And dangerous. Unfortunately the stability of the world rests on your election. I wish all voters would steer away from entertainment news-style profiling and get serious. You have the ability to change this world dramatically with this election. Exercise your right to vote with maturiity and foresight – please. At this point it is unbelievable that the Republican and Democratic party are in a dead heat at the poles. Have the last seven years been erased from the collective memory of a proud and strong and potentially free (again) people?

Lets keep things in perspective
Polls mean nothing at this point. There are still bitter Hillary supporters, who have not shown their support for Barack (YET).
Once they do so, Mcshame won't have a chance.

To my Obama Supporters:
Let's all give the HRC supporters, time to heal their wounds. Hopefully, most of them should come around. Afterwards, we can all gather around the campfire, and sing songs of unity together.

Obama / Clinton '08

God is in control, not Obama, McCain, Hillary or us!!

I have spent the last 6 months reading and storing the bias comments that have come from ALL campaigns and media outlets, and I am concerned that ordinary Americans (black, white and brown) are just as prejudice and radical as any extremist organization.

How can we throw stones at other countries for the way they treat their citizens when we treat each other like dirt?? I wish I could publish these statements around the world!!

Stop the hate-Obama 2008!!

Obama has a lot of work to do. Don't be surprised if McCain wins. He has a lot of experience, works with any party, isn't Bush and is well respected by most people.

How in the hell can people still be Republican? They've been duped!

Can CNN be any more biased. It's about 6-1 Obama vs. McCain headlines.

Do people think CNN is no less biased than Fox? Seriously? Liberal rag.

I love how people use phrases like, "everyone I talk to" or "all of us" or "many of us"...

How many is that exactly? 10? 20? 30? Can you name them? In my line of work, I never trust the statement when I hear "everyone" or "many" without also getting names. Otherwise, it could be the speaker and their 10 imaginary friends.

The reality is, once we get into the general election campaign, people will realize the true differences between Obama and McCain. Some will decide that they simply can't back Obama because of his policies, some will realize they were silly to think that backing McCain is a way to get retribution for Sen. Clinton not getting the nomination.

In the end, we are on a message board that hold absolutely no weight, and very few, if any, actually use anything close to their real name.

We'll see what happens come November.

So Hillary supporters are saying they will actively campaign for McCain...so sad and just plain silly. Even if Hillary had managed to steal the election from Obama I would have voted for Hillary. How did the DNC screw Hillary? How did sexism force her from the race? There is only one thing that forced her from the race – delegates! Obama has more of them. Period. He played by the rules and won. One poster said he was not going to vote for Obama because of something CNN wrote? Unbelievable.

NADER is just a Party Spoiler!!!! He needs to get out the way since he knows he can't win!!!!

He was the first Maronite and Arab American presidential candidate in US history.
Nader has run for President of the United States FIVE times (in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008). – FIVE TIMES, all he is doing is stealing dreams.

Nader himself recently stated in a live interview that he believes Al Gore won the presidency in 2000 but that it was "stolen from [Gore]... by the Florida Secretary of State and Jeb Bush" and the US Supreme Court.[4] It is generally stated in the media that he blames the Democrats for George W. Bush's victory that year. -Spoiler

When asked by MSNBC's Tim Russert about the possibility of preventing a Democratic victory in 2008, Nader responded, "Not a chance. If the Democrats can’t landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, and emerge in a different form." -You see he knows he will not win!!!!!!

NO NADER IN '08

One other thing, if only 10 million of the 18 million supporters of Hillary Clinton write her name in November, what will that do to the polls?

Obama would be clobbering McCain if not for Senator Clinton's sense of entitlement and refusal to concede in a respectfule manner. The Republicans are thrilled with her behavior. Thanks Hillary, you are an egomaniac and a moron!

Rezko....Wright.....Ayers......Farrakhan......Phleger
Too many unanswered questions.

Hillary supporters who say they'll vote mccain..

Frsutrated dems who didnt like Gore made a statement and voted for Nader....the last 8 years have been wonderful havent they...

if you vote for mccain then you deserve what the us gets...true dems are more intelligent than to put their candidate above what is best for the country and the democratic party

DO NOT QUIT HILLARY. DO NOT QUIT. I will not vote for Obama. I will hold my nose and vote for McSame.......

Democrats are going to learn the hard lesson for not Including Hillary.

I can see Obama's fall and Mccain's rise

Hillary all the way

More of the McSame....NO NO NO>...three more of our troops shot to death yesterday...how much longer can many of you say you want more of the same??? We need to get out and soon...they do not want us in Iraq (the people) Unite and vote Democrat....

I use to be republican but can no longer put up with this BS!!!

GO GO McCain....We will vote for you.......we are supporting Clinton....since she is out now we will vote for.....10 more votes for you McCain from our family........so good luck....

Hillary supporters, have you been listening to your candidate? She is "suspending" her campaign and supporting Obama. Supporting Obama....supporting Obama. Accept this reality. How then can you blast Obama. Are you democrats or republicans?

I can understand your disappointment. I can even understand your need to grieve, but Hillary has her place in history. I cannot recall in my lifetime every seeing a woman compete so valiantly with the BIG BOYS!!! She has been competing with them a long time and has won many times.

However, she did not win this time. So stop Obama bashing. Stop threatening to vote for McCain and leave the Democrat Party. If you are truly a Hillary supporter, you will realize that she is trying to unite the party. I am sure she will be back in four years, but RIGHT NOW SHE IS A UNITER....WHAT ABOUT YOU?

vic nashville,Tn: Get over it! Hillary is going to concede, and you're going to have to vote Republican. Too bad for you that you'll once again be supporting the losing cadidate.

Just 2 hours ago, Obama led McCain by 6 points.
polls = nonsense

I find it hard to believe that 45% of Americans want the same old same old (McBush). Recent polls show 80% of Americans think we are heading in the wrong direction under the Bush administration and give him a 30% approval rating. A vote for McBush keeps us traveling down the road to nowhere. Wake up sheeple!

S.Wright,how's ENRON doing ? Here we have the most hypocritical,dishonest Senator in America,whose campaign is being run by the dirtiest lobbyest's in DC and you have the nerve to bring up Rezko ?
I believe that's a debate we're more than willing to have.
The "straight talk express" is the biggest joke in modern political history.
Have we embraced Bush lately ? Or Hagee ? Too stupid to check out the insanity of Hagee,McCain chased him ,wanting to have his own right wing loonatic fringe preacher,so he got the most dangerous man in America after Cheney.

Right on McCain..."my friends."

i will vote mcain if hillary is not on the ticket.PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

I can't BELIEVE that he's selected Caroline Kennedy to be on his
3-person selection commitee! Where's her credentials?

Obviously he's just adding "BLING" to his campaign – not KNOW-HOW!

Reminds me of Bush's "GOOD JOB, BROWNIE." after Katrina -
and we all know how that turned out.

And CNN... How about printing this.

I just hope the Clinton supporters, can move on. We have a important election to win. Families lives are a stake. Let's just unite. Obama is a great man and Hilary is still going to be in the picture.

Let's get excitied and behind Obama. I'd like to put a rumor out there and hope it gets spread. Perhaps taken into serious consideration, my only thought would be this great man, might not want to be VP a third time. But here's the rumor- What about a Obama-Gore ticket! Now that excites me, Gore is popular and well-loved and admired. He won the Noble Peace Prize, he got the world to listen to his message about global warming!

What are your thoughts! I'd like to know.

Sexism influenced the primaries? Yeah, about as much as racism did. Why can't we just accept that the media is what it is. Its in charge of getting ratings and will report the news in a way that will secure those ratings. Where were all the Hillary supporters when the media threw Huckabee under the bus for not leaving the race early? It's not sexism, its the media getting the best story possible. You may not like what CNN, MSNBC or Fox News has to say but, you still tune in and watch, dont you?

In any case, Hillary did the right thing and stayed until the end. She gave voters a meaningful election and voters had there say. The voters obviously werent influenced by the media's "supposed bias" since Hillary won the majority of the last few states. They statistically split the popular vote and Obama got 120, or so, more pledged delegates.

Where is the controversy?

Did you read this guys?

Obama locked in a dead heat...WITHOUT the overzealous, whiny, crying, temper tantrum throwing Clinton supporters.

Obama does not need Clinton to win this election. Keep her off the ticket.

But if she goes on the ticket, then watch a lot of Obama supporters disappear...because we refuse to ever vote for that woman.

CNN plz post my note.
I am strong Hillary supporter but there is not way for me to vote for Obama even if she is on the ticket.
I completely don't trust him, consider him as phenomen created by shamelessy proObama's media and corrupted DNC who knows that he is weak person and they hope to control him wheil he is in WH.
I dropped democratic party and switch to independents.
We are not voting party, we voting person and Obama is not this person.
I consider voting McCain and many my friends too

If the Obama phenomenon is truely due to all young "first-time" voters...then the post baby-boom generation of parents have truly failed the country in developing " American traditions" in their children.
Hopefully the next generation will attempt to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of the American dream and the personal sacrirfices of millions to get us where we are today..and not try to create some hybrid societ union of the United States.

How can a man raised by a white mother and white grandparents be racist? There is absolutely no logic there.

GO OBAMA!

I'm tired of seeing old-time Democrats bash Obama for being too vague about "change". People threw the same criticism at FDR when he ran for his first term under the banner of a mysterious "New Deal" that he refused to comment about. The older Democrats now view FDR as one of the greatest men of all-time. It's time to let the younger crowd have its chance.

Lets have no more talk of Hillary. She has dishonored herself, her party, and her supporters by not conceding and falling into the ranks as did Edwards Et Al. She used the kitchen sink, reckless statements, and pouting to no avail. Now she wants to demand the VP position. From now on lets speak only of the issues:
· End the War
· Universal Healthcare
· Turn the Economy Around
· Fight the Greenhouse Effect
Vote Obama

Neither is the best candidate- voters arew left with weak choices...again

I find it very interesting that in my 47 years of voting age eligibility (it started when I was 21) I have never been polled by any one as to my choice for president. Guess I do not meet the criteria that the pollsters want to hear from. I suspect this is true of many of the polls being used - limit the "voters" to what you want the results to be. So, bottom line - the polls mean nothing, especially since they are within 5%. I would suspect, also, that Sen. McCain will slowly take the lead as the days grow nearer November.

I have been a life long republican. This year I am voting Democrat and it is because of Obama and his sincere belief in change. He is further left than Hillary so you'd expect me to move towards her more easily, but Obama, you can really tell, believes 100% he can change things. That kind of believe has a power behind it.

I am at a complete loss as to why ANY democrat would say, "My candidate or I'm voting for the other party." Bad things were said by both sides about both sides. Apologies were issued by both sides. The primaries are over and we need to put that behind us so that we can have a chance of winning. Throughout the entire primary season, Hillary repeatedly said that they were so close on the issues, and they are. One of them has one. First and foremost, we are democrats and that comes before candidate preferences. Time to unite and show the world what the DNC can do to change things for the better. But we have to put aside our petty squabbling first and we have to do it quickly.

And so the race begins...however, Obama has a TON of work to do to reconcile the DNC and pray that Hillary supporters will flock to his side instead of McCain's. He cannot win without her support and following.
The irony here is that if he accepts her support and followers thern his message of change is all smoke and mirrors just to get elected. You can't implement change when you continue with a Clinton on the ticket. He has ultimately placed himself in a tough situation- do you stick with the change message and put someone other than Hillary on the ticket to stand firm in your platform and at the VERY HIGH risk of alienating support from Clintonites and losing this fall? Or do you sell out just to win the election and put Hillary on the ticket which totally contradicts EVERYTHING he has based his platform on the last year. Either way, Obama faces some real issues he MUST explain to the nation bceause he still has not done so and continues to refuse...PLEASE check his voting record and issue stance at Votesmart.org for your self.
A former Obama 'dreamer' now in reality!!

GO OBAMA!!!

DEMS `08!!!

Oh! the Irony

I agree with you. People should be voting for McCain because of what Obama stands for, not just because he was able to steal the primary election from a better democratic rival.

It amazes me that people cannot focus on the issues, they have to name call, try to divide and basically show their ignorance. Let me tell all of you something, there are far too many important issues facing this country, I strongly suggest people start focusing on the issues. I guess it is not possible to have an adult conversation on these blogs about the issues. I guess we have to revert to name calling, division and the sort, the primaries are over Obama and McCain are the choices. All of the Clinton supporters who want to support McCain need to understand they are a walking contradiction and are disrespecting everything the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton stands for. I guess it was just a popularity contest, the issues didn’t really matter. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This is exactly the flaw of the U.S. system. We elect persons, and not party. Is it an Obama White House or is it a Democrat White House? We already saw Bush led the nation into the dump, and there is nothing we can do about it other than waiting for his 8 years to expire. That is just stupid. If a CEO is leading a company into the dump, we dump the CEO, but we are willing to sit in misery because of our stupid political system. The Brits are a lot smarter. With a vote of no confidence and there goes the Prime Minister. A nation should be able to move like that, especially with 300 million people's well-being at stake.
That being said, can Obama (or the Democrat) say no to Clinton? If they say no, they are playing with fire, and they are not looking at the party's interest, but their own prejudice.
This is the election math. Now Obama and McCain are running neck and neck. Clinton has 45% of Democrats support. Say Obama and McCain now have 100 votes each. When 10 Democrats jump the fence to vote for McCain because Clinton is not picked, the numbers are McCain 110 and Obama 90. That 10 votes turns into 20, that is 110-90=20. If Obama picks Clinton, people that don't like Clinton but like Obama will vote for Obama, and people that don't like Obama but like Clinton will also vote for Obama. It's that simple. When Clinton is not picked, Obama risks alienating that 45% of Democrats and risk the Democrat's chance of winning the White House. That would be the biggest mistake of the century, because Republicons will have picked the entire Supreme Court justices during the next 8 years.

Well, it happened. Even though Hillary won more votes than Obama, the Powers That Be gave Obama the candidacy. I supported Hillary years ago and I didn't stop supporting her just because her skin color didn't broadcast "change," whatever "change" really means. McCain is now going to win in November, for many reasons, mainly his uncomparable resume. Another Democratic loss, due to another Democratic party officials' blunder. Even I, as a long-time Democrat, am considering voting for McCain. I believe a vote for Obama is a vote for the crazy apparatus that robbed my state of the votes it was due this primary season.

This is REALLY and TRULY a GREAT country. Every perspectives of human qualities, and progression are with Americans, who have worked very hard to Build this POWERFUL country, from all diversities and in every possible way, together as REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRATS, with so much opportunities for all. I love this country and will die for it. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!

Ms. GA June 5th, 2008 10:43 am ET

McCain is getting Clinton's supporters and that's really sad.
===================================================

Most of them were republicans from the very begining.

Hilary has fought a great battle. She is truly a formidable force and has blazed a new trail for women. As a woman, I have the utmost respect for what she has accomplished.

However, Obama is our nominee and we should all rally behind him now. People should vote for the candidate who shares their ideology. If this is the case, no Democrat should be voting for John McCain. Experienced or not, he obviously has completely different ideas for where this country should be headed. He says that the democrats will raise taxes and spend too much money. Yet the last republcan we've had has spent a staggering amount of money on a war which was waged for obscure and apparently dubious reasons.

Vote with your head, your heart and your pocketbook. Vote Obama!

After clinching the nomination, Obama is LOSING ground to McCain.
That should be a wake-up call to the Democratic Party. It still has a chance to avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by nominating Clinton. That's the only way Tony Rezko and Jeremiah Wright will disappear from the presidential election.

To all the Hillary suppoerters, I keep reading that Hillary Supporters are angry at Obama for remarks made by his supporters and are choosing to vote for Mcsame in result of it. I ask you one question is it worth it to throw your vote for a canidate that goes against everything you beleive in just because some kid or some angry ol person had some mean things to say? I ask you to just look at the canidate themselves, Obama never said these mean things about Hillary. So when it comes time to vote i hope you make the best choice and vote for change and not the same. Thank you.

I honestly think the rest of the world would fall over for a second if they see Mccain win, and another Bush term ahead...they will loose all hope in America and we will be known as the dumbest country ever, seriously we will be considered a joke if after 2000 and 2004 we still haven't learned...and some of the Clinton fanatics (i respect Clinton but some of her fanatics are amazing...) are gonna help make that happen...I for one will start saving to move to Canada, let the fanatics enjoy their spoils as gas price's continue to go up, healthcare continue to rise, economy to implode, and China practically will own us...

After Hillary losing out to Obama, I will switch to McCain. Obama 's background bothers me. Rev. Wright pushed me over to the red side. Also, any Hillary supporters should vote for McCain so in 4 years, she will win.

I would like to see some state breakdowns in these polls. The national polls do not really tell us anything since the election is 50 state elections, not one national one.

Either candidate could be ahead nationally by a substantial margin and still lose the election due to the way the states play out.

CNN, how about commisioning some polls in battleground states like Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, Penn, Georgia and Colorado, to see if the Obama strategy to turn some Red states holds water.

You would think all the koo-aid Obama drinkers could come up with something besides McSame or McBush. But then, just like their rock star nominee who lacks substance, they'll have to wait for his speech writers to come up with another empty slogan, so they can all blindly follow suit.

I can see it now at the Orwellian Democratic Convention – all of the Obama followers blindly chanting "Change, Change" No McSame or Bush Third Term! Change

Do any of them know what is 'change' means? Not really...they're just blindly following their rock star.

Can't wait to see your faces when you rock star loses big time! America has 5 months to realize obama is an empty suit with a great speak writer.

I am decided. I have decided to make up my mind in November when I can actually see the ballot. Ralph Nader is looking good. Maybe when he loses and whichever of the two real party nominees wins and screws up the country even more, I can still say I voted, but not for "him".

Current democrats, take a while and find out the truth about what republicans cherish: lower taxes, less government control of our daily lives, market economy and individual responsibility among some of the ideas we love. Compare that with what Obama has promised: government control of our health (euthanasia of the elderly???), higher taxes (I can't believe he would say this!!! but he did), blaming the US before the adversaries around the world who have sworn to destroy us. To support a democrat today is truly a crazy proposition.

McCain has my vote all the way.

Wait – before you people think Obama will be next pres. think what do yuou know about this man. Not much I guess and waht we know is not pretty (at all). Hillary can endorese Obama all she wants – she is forced to by the Nancy Peolsi and Howard Dean the so called leaders

Are you voting democrat just to be allong party lines? I will say we vote for who is better for this COUNTRY

When was the last time the democrats did anything good even if they have a majority in the congress? I can give you a lithany of bad crap they pulled over our eyes. I'm done with the democrats and I will not vote for Obama – he is not fit to lead ths country

Let's see if this get posted!!

Maybe the poll was conducted in VW and KT

The reason we are now being told for Hillary's loss is sexism. I guess all the lies, deception and the boatload of scandals had nothing to do with it.

As a supporter of the democratic philosophy, the primaries held by the DNC, and their policies and procedures, have left me no alternative, but to realize, that the only way,that America is going to survive to fight another day, is support of efforts of President .to be JOHN McCAIN,

Please GOD HELP AMERICA !!!

John Mcain,
Honorable war hero and POW. Once considered the only republican I could stomach voting for (8 years ago). Champion of the people, very well aligned with Obama (4 years ago). Bush jr. (Present). Who knows who he'll be if he gets elected..... And will HE know who he is? Moses was 700 when he lead the Israelites. Do we want a leader that old?!?!?!?

Just wait till Hillary puts her muscle behind Obama, and her supporters realize that a vote for McCain will DESTROY all the hard work done on behalf of women's rights in the 60's and 70's. These polls will change!!

Oboma will never get my vote!!!!!!!!!!
This dem will vote for McCain!!

Thanks DNC!!!!

The election will depend entirely on how opened minded and observant the voters are. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see the intelligence level between both candidates is drastic with McCain so far behind he thinks he's first.

To date McCain has only been fudging Obama's positions or comments trying to fool people but when they get one on one and the truth comes out results 70% to Obama!

To Latigo,

Did you listen to Mc-Studder tuesday? How many times can you say My Friends?

How many times did you get lied to in the past 5 years about Iraq? How long will you believe that things are getting better and each day that goes by the news reports more soldiers dead in Iraq, not to mention that they don't report the injuries.

Oh, by the way the leader of Iraq is going to sit down and talk to the leaders in IRAN. Well, I guess we see who they may be cutting deals with in the future. Thanks GWB, thanks alot!

CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE
CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

What does that mean? It means nothing. it is a catchy phrase that means nothing and has no substance. They could put Fred Flintstone in the whitehouse, and that would be change !!!!!

re:NC voter June 5th, 2008 10:44 am ET

No Hillary?

NO DEMOCRATS

I will ACTIVELY campaignf or McCain

IN NOVEMBER WE"LL REMEMBER (the way the DNC screwed Hillary)

And how you traitors tried to screw America with 4 more years of Bush

This poll of polls probably does not reflect the total disgrace left by the DNC after the 5/31 RBC decision. Utterly disgusting. I would imagine scores of people have decided they can no longer abide by such an un-Democratic party and switched to Indie or GOP.

History shows that when the majority of people feel the country is on the wrong track, their pockets are emptying, and they're war-weary, they will vote for change regardless of party. Simple as that.

They need to remove these comments from these Tickers, some of the comments are ridiculous and it shows how ignorant (no let me say stupid), Americans really are!

To those like "never obama",

Remember you just represent one vote. Your statements and "threats" do not matter. And you are really republicans anyway so go away please. In your heart of hearts (if you have one) you know that McCain is a joke. I mean really, did you see McCain's speech?

The caption, " Obama and McCain neck to neck" is most appropriate. Look at the differences in the skin on their necks. McCain may be vigorous for an old man but he is visibly an old man and his thinking is that of an old man. After all the harm done to our country and to us by the non-thinking George Bush we need someone young and courageous to rebuild the country.

I say to B. Hussein Obam as a southern man...kiss my grits!!

I'll stay home before I vote for a socialist!!

By the way, since the Democrats took control of Congress, gas has gone from just over $2.00 a gallon to $4.00 a gallon.

I believe it was the lovely Nancy Pelosi who said the Democratic controlled Congress was going to do something about the rising cost of gasoline... she just failed to mention that she was going to expedite the rising cost, as opposed to easing pressure at the gas pump and on our wallets.

Way to go.

Don't forget, Congress has a lower approval rating that Bush... what does that say about them?! How come nobody cares? All you people who are pro-democrat, don't you realize your people are messing up just as much as republicans????

WAKE UP!!!!

Hillary will do the right thing, but it will be too late. There are those of us who no matter what will not forget what the democratic party has done not just to Hillary but to her supporters. Those of us who will be switching our party come November because we don't like the democratic nominee is our right. In 4 years or 8 if we like the nominee running on the democratic ticket then again it is our right to change, but for now this November there will be alot of us changing parties or just not voting.

My vote goes to McCain come November.
I supported Hillary, the first MOST qualified presidential candidate.

Hillary is such a honorable person. She was treated with disrespect. I am sorry I can not stand this.

Now, my vote goes to McCain, and so my family and friends.

Now 18 million of you sheep turn, and vote sock puppet.

Vic in Nashville,
I am 100% with you! The DNC behavior is a slap in the face, not only to Hillary Clinton, but to the 18 million that supported her.

You can blame the republicans all day long for the mess this country is in, but be honest, they did it with the help of the democrats in Congress. A republican president started this mess and you want a democrat to clean it up? Ridiculous! McCain should clean it up.

To Obama and Hillary supporters: McCain is the complete opposite of everything Obama and Hillary has fought for and stands for. No matter who you support, everyone knows that Clinton and Obama are very similar on their positions on real issues.

In my opinion a Clinton or Obama supporter now throwing their support to McCain for whatever reason shows that you never really believed in your candidate's position on the REAL issues.

McCain has nothing to offer this country except WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR HIGH GAS PRICES, DECLINING ECONOMY, END OF ROE V. WADE, WAR, WAR, WAR!!!!

Surpeise, surprise!! What did Obama supporters think? That's why Hillary was railroaded out. The republicans will chew him up and spit him out. Especially after this new scandel. Unless everyone considers to ignore the latest scandel as they have so far. Sorry to break it to all you Obama supporters but he is a politician after all.

After 7+ years of utter STUPIDITY, MOCKERY, CONTEMPT, CORRUPTION, DEFIANCE, MANIPULATIVE PUBLIC FEAR, AND PURE COWBOY INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS from the republicans should anyone be surprised that even though we’re far from the general election the Dems. are already a head? A BIG FAT NO!
Good by Republicans and congratulations you have made history as the worst ever administration! As for Senator McCain, with all due respect with all the experience you may think you have you will remain the extension of the current administration and no match for Obama, so good luck trying to cloud your way around this fact!!

I think that old fellow should go home and have some rest.McBush, the road is long and i don't think you gonna make it to the end.

GO HILL! June 5th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Everytime I get to a point where I could stomach voting for Obama, the CNN "best political team" opens their mouths and bash Hillary. They have made my decision for me, NOT to vote for BO, and it just confirms the bias and sexism I have seen against Hillary since last year.
------------

You're one of the stupidest people I've encountered today. So because CNN supposedly bashes Clinton, instead of you changing the channel, you decide to vote against your political views and vote for McCain?

Now I hear Obama supporters cry "Unite". Did you forget all the malicious words that you used about her and her supporters. You don't need us. You said " We Can". Now prove it.
Hillary 2012!

You old bags are not going to hold the party hostage. Go ahead and vote for McCain. Please stop with your lame threats. McCain is probably 10 years younger than most of her supporters anyway. Obama did nothing that none of the other candidates tried to do. Win the Nomination with honesty and integrity. Yeah.... to easy to call her out.

Obama will arise and shine and walk all over John McCain, aka Dim Wit. This is going to be oh so good to see! At last we will see Obama able to be himself, he can take off the cloth gloves!

How about a Poll on CNN and its coverage ???....

I can't wait for the debates. All the stalling for Obama is now over. He will have to get into the details and that will be his downfall. Talk all you want about how great his views are, but once you see how much it will cost all of you in your paychecks, you will soon be singing a different tune. I love the liberals in here. They all seem to think they can get something for nothing. for instance, they want universal health coverage for all. Guess who's going to pay for it? And you are going to let the government handle it? LOL What a joke everyone is if they think Obama can get everyone free healthcare and taxes wont go up. You are all living in a dream world. Even with money saved from the war in Iraq if it didn't exist, the US could not afford universal health care without taxes going way up. All this will do is clog up an already overburdened government system and screw it up. The only people who want universal health care are people who don't want to work and live off the backs of hard working Americans. Oh yes, let's not also forget about the millions if ILLEGAL aliens that would also benefit from hard working people. What a bunch of idiots.

Of course they're in a dead heat! Everyone I talk to REFUSE
to vote for Obama - UNLESS HILLARY IS ON THE TICKET!

Perhaps he should take note.....

If this poll was taken before Obama clinched the nomination, it means nothing.

What people dont think about is now we have a democrats, Clinton and Obama voters, voting for one person. And Clinton voters who vote for McCain or not vote, are not or ever were democrates. Bitterness is not something that should ever get in the way of America. BE AMERICANS FIRST.

How does the DNC expect us to rally around this candidate & his hateful wife? How depressing!!!

CNN,
Does your "Poll of Polls" take into account al" of the likely voters in November. I've seen a lot of discrepancies in your so-called accurate Poll of Polls before.

Keep in mind that Obama has (and will continue to) register thousands of new 1st time voters who will of course be voting Democrat... I bet that these new voters are not reflected in your projections.

But nonetheless, McCain will get destroyed in November.

Obama/Clinton '08

We all know CNN is liberal-tilted. Therefore, to get the polling results they want, they poll mostly liberal areas. I wouldn't believe a single thing CNN spouts. Use Fox instead for a Fair and Balanced status.

Baloney..

Unite behind what?

He still hasn't stated what he's actually planning to do and who will sacrifice so all the poor socially disadvantaged can share in the American dream.

He hasn't even explained what HIS vision of the American dream is!!!

I know...it's all the rich people ( according to Mein Obama) give a little more to all the poor people ( even if they are drug addicts, cons, and clinically insane).

Thanks Democrats–your nose rings are showing.

America is ready for a change.....We've been on the wrong path for too long now....McCain would only give us more of the same leadership we've had for 8 years.
The majority of Americans are smart enough to know that another Republican term would be detrimental to our international image. We need a change. To the Hilliary Clinton Women.....Move on and stop acting like "cry babies". You're making women look bad !!!!

I think this number will change once Hillary makes her announcement this weekend. If she campaigns hard for Obama like she did for herself, the Dems will take back the White House this fall.

I don't see 18 million voters going against the party because all of them felt that Hillary was slighted. I can see some people voting for McCain out of spite but not all 18 million.

The truth is, If Sen Obama can run the country HALF as competently and superbly as he ran his campaign, America will be a super power again. Because right now, Russia and China are the two super powers.

too slider how dumb could you be? while the dems control congress any order to remove troops needs to be approved by the prez who would veto such measure and there wouldnt be enough to overturn that veto

gop supporters are so stupid

I think it is totally hilarious that all of you people who couldn't wait for Hillary Clinton to get out of this race and continuously said that she should just go away are now being so nice to her supporters in the hope they will vote for Obama. Well, I'm a supporter of Hillary Clinton and, at the moment, I have no intention in voting for Obama. What exactly does he stand for? I want a few questions answered: 1) he has never fully explained why he remained a member of a church for 20 years when the reverend made disparaging remarks about whites, jews, etc., 2) this "epiphany" Obama had in quitting his church came at a very convenient time .... why now?, 3) he speaks with a golden tongue, but exactly how does he plan to get this country out of this financial mess we're in ..... and the questions go on and on.

im a Hillary Supporter who will not vote for Obama simply because the way she was treated during the primary season. The DNC ruling on Saturday made me go out and change my party and the Dem. are suppose to be the most liberal party. No just horrible. The DNC neede to listen to what the people were saying..

Listen, CNN folks... you don't have to publish this comment, since you already published my other one, but I want y'all to listen to me:

What you are doing with this "Poll of Polls" crap is misleading and wrong. Beyond that, it is based on no other science than an average. You talk about these polls of polls, however, as if they're scientific fact. It is incredibly misleading to your viewers, and I think it would be very, very beneficial if, before saying anything about your Poll of Polls, you added a disclaimer each time that this is an AVERAGE of polls and is NOT SCIENTIFIC.

Thank you.

Why do we have an army if not to protect the vital interests of the US?
Our military is doing just that in Iraq and is also getting better knowledge of new and advancing weaponry and tactics against all manner of opposition. Don't be foolish and try to cut the arms off our military. They are the best in the world, and they need to stay in command of all the military maneuvers in the world.

If the US brings our troops home without a clear victory, it will destroy the reason the military strives as earnestly as it does. Our highly trained/experienced military members will quit the service if we disrespect their efforts and the advancements they have made for us in the Middle East as well as other parts of the world. Can we really think Obama's smile will stave off our adversaries who have taken religious oaths to destroy us? Stop being foolish. Stay strong and resolute instead.

Pat (NY), I knew you were just a big teddy bear!! Great example of an ardent HRC supporter who is mature enough to put the party first. DEMS/08

It's funny reading all the rants and raves from crazy, crazy, crazy liberals. Can't wait for reality to set in. . . sometime after Nov. 2.

The attitudes of some of the supporters of Hillary is nothing short of amazing ... it reminds me of the old saying; "cut off your nose to spite your face." I care deeply about women's rights, but that doesn't mean that if a woman doesn't win the nomination, I'm obligated to cast a spiteful vote. And any vote that helps defeat Obama is a vote against women's issues. Example no. 1 ... abortion rights. Ultimately, the election is about issues, not gender, not race, not personalities. You have a brain. Use it.

McCain will get my vote I am a switching democrat.

Geeez. Hillary – close but no cigar (maybe Bill has a spare cigar laying around, I suspect he always keeps one handy.) Here's a thought, now that Bill can't help her politically, will she dump him in 2009?

CNN – waaaaay to early for polls to mean anything.

I'm glad we know who the candidate is now so I can now focus my efforts and campaigning for McCain.

Hillary was the best choice but actually I disagree that Obama Clinton are more similar than McCain and Clinton. McCain is a true Patriot and a proud American like Hillary.

Don't trust nor do I like Obama. He scares me and is far to liberal and unreligous for me.

McCain'08 for Clinton '12
HILLARY SUPPORTES MUST MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR HILLARY '12 BECAUSE SHE CAN'T ASK US TO DO IT – SHE'D BE SHOOTING HERSELF IN THE FOOT.

America is ready for a change.....We've been on the wrong path for too long now....McCain would only give us more of the same leadership we've had for 8 years.
The majority of Americans are smart enough to know that another Republican term would be detrimental to our international image. We need a change.

Well, nice to know some people at least read what others say. I am a democrat, I am not a Republican. I have voted for Republicans in the past because the Democratic Party chose the wrong person in my opinion. It was also the opinion of a lot of other democratcs who crossed over to vote for Reagan. I do not believe Obama is the best person for the job. The DNC has been trying to force Hillary out of the race for along time. That is what I find objectionable. The media has given Obama a free ride. The Wright issue came out because they finally had no choice but to air it. I am not happy my candidate lost, that is true. Once again I am forced to choose an alternative to the nominee. I choose to write in Hillary Clinton.

Never Obama – Anti Obama movement June 5th, 2008 10:49 am ET

martin you expect his numbers to go up – really? 18 million people did not vote for him the primaries.
====================================================

Those 18 million did not vote for McBush either, did they. Its funny that many Clinton supporters and voter truely belived that if she had won the the nearly 18 million that voter for Obama were just going to fall in line.

But those same supporter were complaining about sexism. Tell me something, if the sexism is true would they not have voted for McCain? He a man correct?

How can nearly 50% of Americans possibly want McSame? Haven't we learned anything in the last 8 years???

IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT MOVED UP THE PRIMARY IN FLORIDA!!!!

People, don't fall for what the trap the republicans have set!!!!!

I am 110% a supporter of Hillary! And I will vote for Obama in the end...I would rather see him the White house then have us in the war for another 30 years....Unite!

Do republicans (besides mccain voting hillary supporters) even read or use the computer? I never see comments from McCain supporters or any other republicans.

Anyway, I really can't fathom why anyone, even republicans would want to vote for mccain. ANYONE has to see where the country has gone, and if there are people that actually believe things are better somehow, we shouldn't just divide by political party, but by giving them their own country somewhere. One full of violence and poverty since that seems to be what they love.

Obama does not want Hillary for his VP. The reason is that she is more intelligent, experienced and she will outshine him. What an insecure weak man he is.
I cannot wait until November to sit back and watch him loose to McCain.
The Dems are very mistaken if they think for one second Obama does not need Hillary as VP.

Obama you are a looser.

No more Republican liars and propagandas....they will lose this election big time both senate seats and the presidency...We don't care what the bias polls say... No one is going to vote for 100 yrs war, bomb bomb Iran, gas @5.00, unemployment, foreclosures, tax cut for the rich and cowboy diplomacy except those living inside a box....

I am still dumbfounded that the Hillary diehards are screaming at this point about being jilted out of the nomination. The numbers spoke for themselves, and no amount of yelling "sexism" can change them. Have you really swallowed the "win at any cost" doctrine to the point that you are willing to let the Republicans win by default AGAIN? Are you really that self centered and childish? I think you folks need to remember what has been happening in this country for the past eight years. Do you need to be reminded why both Clinton and Obama wanted to run in the first place? There have been plenty of times my candidate didn't make it to the primary, but I never even considered getting into a five year old's snit and voting the other way out of spite. Good lord...

I'm a HIllary supporter, but now that's she's dropped out, I'm giving my all to Barack. If McCain wins, everything HIllary stands for, from bringing the troops home to more accessible health care, gets thrown under the bus!

Now that Hillary is out, all her supporters will flock to McCain. Her views are much more similar to McCain's than they are to Barack Osama's.
McCain 08!!

Hey, as for your QUICK VOTE on the front of CNN.com.

Keep in mind, people, that CNN is a liberal media source, so Republicans and conservatives will rarely be out here voting. Add on another 20% to John McCain's numbers and THAT is the real truth of that quick vote.

"If you care about our troops at all, you cannot vote for McCain who will send them out for more and more tours of duty. He says he cares, but his actions don't prove it"

Hey clueless- the troops believe what they are fighting for in IRAQ. They dont care what you think from your couch eating big macs. If you think a democrat is going to pull the troops out within a year you need professional help. The war is not ending anytime soon- rep or dem in office.

Say Hello to the "New" Jimmy Carter!!!!!!!!

..AWAY!!!!!

Surprise surprise after 8 years of Bush, democrates cannot have a lead.. well people tolerating hatred i not welcome in America!!

hey due...do any conservativeor republican notes get posted on pro-obama cnn? I alwayse post comments they never get on...haha..watch this one get on..but u ignore the others..lol typical..

WH, he said we should be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in. Obama knows the best way to get our boys home. Gramps is not even entertaining the possibility of a withdrawal. He will be in his rocking chair soon because of it!

Things will change....... this is pretty NEW yet. It will take several weeks for the two OFFICIAL Candidates to really see what the Polls will reveal. There will be some DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY fallout for several more weeks. There will be NO COMPARISON between Obama and McCain. Take it from This Republican (my families' choice since 1858). Obama will be the next Great Leader of this Country and the FREE WORLD. WOW , what a priveledge to have the Kennedy's , Regan and Obama in my lifetime !!!!

To Sen Obama's supporters:

Please be sensitive to the hurt of Sen Hillary's supporters.
Let them cool off; If they write anything negative, ignore them.
It's like what happens when a relationship breaks up , everyone needs time to heal.

Your candidate won. He was gracious, please let your conduct be a good reflection of the Sen Obama.

P.S. I am an Independent.

I don't get it. Your own online poll shows Obama ahead by 20.

Women who support Hillary-–Hillary has worked you up and manipulated you so well. Divisiveness is what she wants and she wants you to continue it for her now that she won't be able to on her own.... But she has built up the hatred in white women so expertly and you women have fallen for it.

Hillary failed through her own down and dirty campaigning and becasue she changed her persona over and over again once she realized that what she believed was going to be her entitlement isn't... That's why her campaign failed... God's wrath has spoken! he's the ultimate deciding factor!!!!

Latina for Obama

It is just begining. Remember where Cliintons were when all this starde.She was sooooooooooooo far ahed . It took him a while but he wisely done his job. Just go on and don't start playing politics, calculate.....all those Washington garbage tricks. You don't need them -neithre Clintons!!!!!!!!!!!!

The polls that show the race in Ohio, Michigan, Pennslvania and Florida, will decide who the next President will be and it will not be Obama. There is a percentage of us Clinton supporters who will not vote for Obama .I notice how nice some of these Obama supporters are talking today, but I still remember the nasty, mean, demeaning and degrading comments.

CNN report this you should shut these blogs down because all they do is let people hide behind computers and perpetuate hate.

Dear HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!, Clinton Supporter & GO HILL!

Isn't it ridiculous the way the Democratic Party's leadership propped up this character?

They have no right to gamble with the future of the country and the Democratic Party in this way. What the Rules & Bylaws Committee did was horrible. By giving Obama delegates that he didn't earn (especially by giving him 4 delegates that Hillary DID earn) hey totally destroyed the moral highground of "Count Every Vote" that the Democratic Party gained in the 2000 fiasco.

I remain loyal to the causes of the Democratic Party, but the party's leadership has failed us worse than ever before.

McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT '08

I think congress should interview Scott Mc. November 1st 2008. That would be a perfect reminder of what happens when you give a Republican any authority. McSame is toast.

I also think any democrat who votes for McSame should just flat out join the Republican't party. At least in the GOP rascists are welcome with open arms...

UNITE, UNITE, UNITED WE STAND DEMOCRATS. Please lay down your prejudices and differences and let's not have another G.W. Bush in office for the next 4 to 8 years with John McCain. We must unify as a real party and kick the Republicans butts.

Why would anyone expect differently just 2 days after the end of a grueling primary. As Obama goes to the general election mode now and people will be able to see the differences, the choices will be clear. McCain will get his votes but there is no way this country will put him in the White House.

If the last 8 years of Republican rule doesn't convince people we need to change direction then there is nothing that can be said here. McCain is Republican doctrine, regardless of what he says. He owes the party and will be their foot soldier. Don't give it to him.

GO HILL! June 5th, 2008 10:39 am ET

Everytime I get to a point where I could stomach voting for Obama, the CNN "best political team" opens their mouths and bash Hillary. They have made my decision for me, NOT to vote for BO, and it just confirms the bias and sexism I have seen against Hillary since last year.
--------------------------------

So what you're saying then, is that you are so weak-minded that you cannot think and decide for yourself that you can vote. That, in fact, you can be lead and controlled to think by the media.. Stop with the bull, you just admitted that you think Hillary was attacked with sexism and bias, the key word here being sexism. THAT'S Your real problem, don't lie and try to hide it behind anything else. It should not even be about sexism, it should be about the ISSUES. Gimme a break.

Obama/Sebelius '08

I am glad Hillary is out. I just hope the votes will see through the speeches and realize that the Dems will raise taxes, giving less spendable income for us all, and that pulling out of IRAQ could be the worst mistake of our lives. Pulling out could spur more terrorist attacks and more oil price hikes. I did not agree with the war, but we are there now and if we give up, look out.

Here's to the three new picks to help pick a running mate...too funny!

As far as focusing on the Jewish vote....Why don't we get Caroline Kennedy to help us ........now- whats was her married name again???....lol
To you Caroline Kennedy S......... guess who your very much admired & respected mother- would have endorsed????

OH the fannie mae guy ..... remember that little scandal regarding school loans..... ..same fannie mae???? To all you educated supporters that had to get loans to get educated (like most of us)... now having to pay those student loans.

Will someone please help me understand how Hillary was forced out of the nomination? I have watched this campaign from the 1st debate to now (recording when i'm not home) and I just don't see what others are seeing. In New Hampshire, she stated MI and FL would not count and had no worries about the voters in those state at that time and when she fell behind, WOW, how they mattered. What happened? WOMEN, what on earth is going through your heads? I am a hardworking, college educated FEMALE who really cannot understand why everyone is saying she was forced out. In her own words (letter to her supporters today), she understood what she was getting into when she entered this race. Also, what rule state that a FEMALE candidate her FEMALE supporters should be given special attention? One thing, this race shows, FEMALES are very selfish and think. This is something I try to tell my daughter, look at the issues not the person, male or female. I really think it's all about being the 1st female is what the HYPE is all about. I don't care if the next President is male, female, black, white, red, blue etc. as long as the President is a DEM. So my fellow FEMALE voters, LISTEN to your candidate, she's endorsing Obama on Saturday. Listen to her AIPAC speech on yesterday. She was not forced out, enough FEMALE voters did not vote for her and she LOST! What happend at the DNC committee on last Saturday would not have helped. Please pay attention to ALL the details. We elect on delegates and NOT popular vote which I think should be changed, but in the meantime, we have the delegate votes in places.

McTuselah has been running a general election campaign for months now and the best he can do at this point is a tie ... doesn't look too good for that old relic of the past!!

Not the landslide, sure thing, got this all wrapped up, the DNC was banking on. Serves each and everyone of them right.

How can that be? With all the dislike of the Republicans, and their "Failed Policies", how can that be? With the War in Iraq, the Economy is disaray, and such. Only in America, could this happen. And I, for one, ask why is this? Could it be Race! Again......................

I'm sick and tired of the Hillary supporters. You all are pathetic!!

Why don't you read about Vince Foster before you claim that Hillary would have beat McCain.

The republicans would've had a field day with Billary!!

Hillary supporters will NOT vote "party." THIS TIME they will vote for what is best for the country they love - and that is NOT Obama.

Please no Hillary as VP, she could never be trusted to be the person taking oders from Obama and remember how she said he was not ready to be President.

Anyone but Clinton!!!

For feminists who want to vote for McCain, do some research and find out how he treats his wife, and the names he calls her. Obama treats his wife like a queen. He is NOT sexist and has never made any sexist comments. (Don't bring up the "sweetie" name – I call my male friends sweetie!) Don't blame Obama for a small number of idiots. No one ever said all voters were smart!!

Uncle Sam,

Don't disprespect that name. Find some other name, maybe Newphe Sham or Niece but not Uncle Sam. He was a patriot and you are not.

We will NEVER UNITE behind Obama and his racist wife!!!!!!!!!!

If America votes democratic for Obama and for all their senate and congressional seats going for relection
You will get what the majoity of americans want , an end to the war, good economy etc bc the dems will have the majority needed to get votes thru the house and senate
REMEMBER that in november at the polls!!!

To Hillary Supporters, I know you are mad as all get out, I would be to if it had been the other way around. Go ahead and vent but at the end of the day McCain and Hillary have absolutely nothing in common except the color of their skin. Voting McCain is not doing Hillary any justice. Example Health Care: I think this is the issue closest to her heart. If you think McCain or any republican White House is going to take 1 look at Hillarys universal plan think again. A vote for McCain or even a write in for Hillary is a slap in her face because it means you didn’t believe in what she stood for during her campaign and nothing she has fought so hard for will see the light of day. I know she got 18million votes, but 18million write in votes for Hillary will not win her the general election it hands it to McCain. Dems we have got to pull together if not now then when?

Without Hillary on the ticket to get the Democratic core, McCain will win and Hillary will run in 2012.

YOU CAN'T POLL POLLS, CNN!!! They are inanimate objects - you can only poll PEOPLE! Additionally, you are once again misleading people by saying that there is no margin of error. THIS IS NOT SCIENTIFIC. YOU ARE MISLEADING YOUR VIEWERS!!!

GO MCCAIN,
We don't need a RACIST COWARD running our military!!!!!!

Ex-Clinton

GO MCCAIN

Hillary supporters are appalled at the way their candidate was (and is still) being treated by the media and the Obama campaign. On top of that, Obama is a nobody from nowhere with no concrete plans with a scary wife and even scarier church. No way anyone not in the throes of some weird cult infatuation would vote for this guy. Like CNN will post this, like any of my other posts, right? HA!

Al,

I doubt it is republicans posting as Hillary backers posting on this board. Most of them have jobs at this time of day, which begs the question about the rest of us?

Lib Democrats, please tell me – what is the draw that socialism offers?

Keep fighting Hilary and Obama supporters. You are always welcome with us Hilary supporters, our freedom isn't free and neither is complete world domination, we will take the entire middle east then begin to topple the resource rich regimes of Africa. Lets make sure America is powerful, prosperous and the rest of the world cowers in our mighty shadow for hundreds of years to come.
MCCAIN '08!!

Anybody else amused that the McCain campaign commercials make him sound like he's running as a Democrat?
Green Power promises? Check.
Corporate Accountability promises? Check.
Affordable Healthcare promises? Check.

But these are all empty promises, and nobody will be fooled. If it comes down to voting for a Democrat, and a Republican who has to run as a Democrat-sounding Republican, the Democrat will win.

Obama O8

History making year not only with the presidency but a triple crown winner you heard it hear first

I think their V.P. choices will matter in November.
I hope they can come up with the best choice for each party.

I as a latina (uruguayan) also an amercan citizen.We'll work with my father to get the spanish vote for our next president.....BARACK WE LOVE!!!

let's get Obama in the white house!!!

HAHAHA- everyone who thinks Obamarama is going to lindslide McCain have another thing coming. McCain will completely expose Obama in debates. Believe it or not people, not everyone reads CNN and think Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

If Hillary's supporters deflect to McCain and Obama loses, she will never win in 2012. Fair or not she will be blamed for fracturing the democratic party. If she can not lead her own supporters to stay true to our party, how can she lead the free world? By voting for John McCain you will make Hillary look like an impotent failure. YOU WILL RUIN HER POLITICAL CAREER FOREVER!

Obama for Pesident –

the first step in making this country the third world hellhole that the far left and a large part of the world wishes it was.

I supported Hillary now we must work for Obama! Nuff said. We can't let Mccain continue the Bush Legacy!! He is against a women's right to choose, for continuing the war in Iraq, no progresson helathcare and he even admits he doesn't know that much about the economy. Wake Up former Hillary Clinton Supporters, This election is too important to turn back the clock

It is absolutely hilarious that there are obama supporters who are complaining of bias because of the pictures that accompany this article. You are so childish.

If you opened your eyes, and this is what makes me question your support for Obama, you would see that there are at least 5 times as many stories about obama, most of which prasie him as some sort of messiah, and there are virtually none featuring mccain.

You liberal elitists socialist cry babies. I would love to see Obama lose just to hear you cry how us white folk are honkey racists.

Is CNN bias? You bet. But its not in McCain's favor, you can be sure of that. Open your eyes, are you that blind, stupid, and naive? bahhh bahhhh, say the sheep.

To Kelly Joyner, Warner Robins, GA, Sorry, No Hillary, No obama

For all his experience, McCain gives a speech like a 5th grader.

How is that possible, to be a politician who can't give speeches?

So much for experience.

Imagine state of the union addresses by McCain? The union would dissolve.

This is a moment that should be glorious: an African-American nominated candidate for the presidency of the United States. It is so sad this was achieved by trashing one of the best presidents in US history and by conducting incessant misogynistic attacks against the by-far-best-qualified individual running for the nomination.

Please get over this sexist idea. Hillary lost because she ran a bad campaign until it was too late. A lot of the female super delegates went for Obama, are they all sexists? Remember Hillary's statement to Obama, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". Because heat was also applied to Hillary, that was somehow viewed as being sexist. If anyone played the sexist card, it was Hillary herself.

Thanks to the Democratic Party Hacks Obama is the nominee.
He should be 20-30 pts. AHEAD of McCain at this point considering how low Bush's approval ratings are.
Once Voters see how LEFT-WING AND RADICAL Obama is and who his advisors are and what his policies will cost the US....
He'll be drummed out of existence in November

I'll be back to tell you.....I TOLD YOU SO ......IN NOVEMBER!

as a democrat i will vote Mcain.

It's been said, but, no to Hillary for VP. She doesn't "own" 18 million voters, they can vote however they wish in the general election.

A good chunk of them are going to vote for McCain or stay home out of bitterness, no matter what happens. So they are essentially dead weight and shouldn't be considered. Another grouping of them will vote for Obama out of loyalty to their party and nation and not give in to spite.

So that number is inflated and bloated. There are 110 million voters coming up in the general, losing 10s of millions to appease a loud minority of her voters is just plain bad math.

Fortunately for Obama's campaign, they don't seem to have a problem with math.

Barack Obama / Bill Richardson 2008

I was just polled and told them I plan on voting for Obama, but seriously am I? hmmmmm

WOW! it's interesting to read all in fighting going on here, hello! remember we're all americans when you get right down to what's affecting us, such as high gas price, people loosing their homes and jobs, young people dying in the war, children graduating still wearing a dunce cap, the list goes on and on, what's done is done, let the best man win. We need change other wise we really will be facing the consequences. We all need to unite and get behind the wheel as it make a turn for better days.

It is easy to criticize any candidate who has a long voting record. But, one thing is for sure, you know where that person stands on a majority of issues. Sometimes, you make tough decisions that will not be popular. John McCain is known and one thing is for sure- He did not take any "pork barrel" money. How much did a 1st term Ilinois Senator Barack Obama ask for? Quite a bit, if you ask me. This is real "change"? Someone check the "facts" on this and don't let the media sway you, because they have lost all sense of journalistic integrity. They don't report news like they used to. They report like the National Enquirer. A large majority of voting by Barack Obama has been to vote "present" and avoid taking hard political stances. But, his motive was always "political". By they way, I wonder how he would have voted on the Iraq war if he actually had the opportunity to vote and be held accountable for his vote. Because then and only then, would we know his real stance. Anyone can make a speech and "sound" convincing. Remember W when he said he would unite this country and bring integrity back to the White House. How soon the American people forget.

David I agree with your comments with 18 million votes on Hillary side, she will play a major role in the democratic party – if she is given respect then her supporter will vote for Obama and he will make it to the WH.

One reason I really like the Obama family. Michelle is a real person! She has worked hard, washed her own laundry. Her mother babysites her girls. She has cleaned her own house and even scrubed her own toliet!!! Michelle can relate to the real America!!! No nanny, no maids. She has had to be a working Mom!!! Amazing! And she's NO "barbie doll"!!! No plastic surgery or drugs. I really like the image she and Barack portray for new up and coming families and a great image and roll model for our children!!! Go Obama!!!! Besides, I like his whole idea of "change Washington". I DO NOT want "experience" in the White House!!! Not anymore!!!! THe old experience has been sooooo bad for middle America!!!

no they aren't...this is CNN trying to drag this out....makes more people watch....I'm a Republican..who voted for McCain in the primary.....I have also donated to Obama...and will support him in the general election....(unless Clinton is anywhere near the ticket) – Obama is what the country (and the world) needs now...we need to heal

and a hypocrite....good riddance. And NO its not because shes a woman..sexist idiots make that claim.

I've been an Obama supporter since before his run for the presidency. I have always had the utmost respect for Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Everyone has the right to believes in their own candidate for their own reasons. But it is now time to unite the Democratic Party and defeat McCain and retake the White House.

Hillary Supporters: Please do not punish the whole country by throwing your support to a man who Hillary opposes on EVERY ISSUE. I know it hard to see your candidate not the nominee but support the democratic party so we can get our country on track.

MCCAIN ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS: Also it should be noted that if McCain is elected he is sure to appoint two conservative justices who could possibly overturn Roe v. Wade. No matter who you support Obama or Clinton, no women should want that right taking away!!!

DEMOCRAT 110%!!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

If he denies Hillary – he's lost her supporters as well. Popularity polls do not elect the president, the electoral college does. With his loss with ALL of the major states, he's in a lot of trouble this fall.

He should beg her for help…even that might not be enough.

I dont believe HRC can undo what she did, It might be too late. Hopefully the history books will be kind to her and not call her the Great Devider of 2008. What do you call it when Democrats that support Hillery become bitter and want to just prove a point?

Senator Clinton was not kicked out of the race because of her race. Let's stop this rubbish, and move on. Senator Obama was treated so badly by the media, and I never heard him complained about this being done because of his race. When Senator Clinton lied about the Bosnia incident, it was not aired the way the Reverend Wright incident was aired. I was sick to my stomach to see constant snippets of the Reverend Wright's video. Many of us go church even though we don't agree with everything the pastor says. The Bosnia incident was extremely serious because we want a President who is honest, and trustworthy, yet it was not talked about as much. If everyone were to stop going to church because of what is being said or done, then there would be no one left in the Catholic Church.

John McCain is being treated extremely well by the media although he has made so many mistakes. If Senator Obama were to make all those mistakes, it would be talked about all the way to the General Election. The media should give equal treatment to all of the candidates. I love to watch Keith Olberman on MSNBC because he is fair, and he reports all of the news.

If you don't respect McCain's as an American your a fool but, if you use racisim to turn your back on Obama your a traitor to your COUNTRY!!!

For those who have shouted "sexism!", I have a question . . Do you honestly believe that the sexism Clinton was subjected to (and I readily admit its out there) is anywhere comparable to the racism Mr. Obama is hit by. And yet he has overcome, and Clinton plays the victim. I understand Clinton supporters frustrations seeing how close it ended up, but its time to open your eyes. What did Obama do to you? He ran a fair campaign and he won. It is not an indictment on Clinton, it just wasn't her time. If you are truly a Democrat and believe in those ideals, stop with the threats of voting for McCain. We all know where that will take us (or I guess more accurately put "leave us")

This is going to be a very easy WIN for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop the madness. Vote democrat.

McCain is more war, more money gone, higher gas prices, no health care, no GI Bill, free rides for lobbyists and corporate tax CEOs. MORE OF THE SAME 8 YEARS.

If you care about our troops at all, you cannot vote for McCain who will send them out for more and more tours of duty. He says he cares, but his actions don't prove it.

This from the Independent News:
"The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country. "

I KNEW IT – BUSH WOULD TRY TO CLAIM "VICTORY" BEFORE NOVEMBER

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/revealed-secret-plan-to-keep-iraq-under-us-control-840512.html

Com 'on Hillary supporters get over, and unite, we can't afford 100 year war. No one lost because of sexism or racism. we are in 21st century, all those days are gone where women and blacks were trated differently. now only talent wins. only capable person bcome president.

I see that Michelle Obama is going to be hosting the View. Can't wait to hear the racist crap that comes out of her mouth. She is bound to show her anger within the first 10 minutes. Barry will slowly go down in the polls and in August he will be the biggest joke the DNC has had since his buddy Teddy.

I think 60% of Americans or more should by now realize that neither the Democratic or Republican parties are capable of cultivating a candidate who will offer any real changes.

The GOP is stuck in replay mode..with the military defense industry and big business.

The DEM's are stuck in replay mode with social special interests, and socializing traditionally free-market entities (healthcare, utilities, energy companies).

We need a third option now more than ever.
Libertarians–focused on returning liberty and self-governance to the electorate.
Bob Barr 2008.

This will all change once we start focusing on McCain, for so long now no one but his supporters have been paying him any attention. Soon even his own will get to know him better and soon we will be adding them to our numbers. This is not to be spiteful, but really a truly McCain is worst than Bush in so many ways. All he knows is war and he really don't understand today's war needs, so much about the world has changed since he was in over 30 years ago.

Wait until more is learned about his economy plans and WHO is advising him and WHY! His adviser is Graham a lobbyist who works for a foriegn bank who wants the our mortgage policies to be UNREGULATED by the govt. That means that banks can do as they please, Graham is partly responsible for the mortgage crisis we are now in. OH! It gets worst. When McCain gave his economy plan this is what he was proposing ALL FROM GRAHAM. REMEMBER THAT NAME AS MORE IS FOCUSED ON THIS!

I am coming to the conclusion that the US is a nation of idiots. 45% honestly want more of the same ? REALLY ???

Shocked, in disbelief. Time to look for a new home perhaps.

How long will it be before the Obama supporters start clamoring for McCain to step aside and concede the election? Certainly before November. Can't you see it folks, this is destiny, or savior has arrived.

First of all, I'm beginning to realize that as an Obama supporter, what I thought was insane Hillary bloggers are actually most likely Rush Limbaugh style Republican operatives inciting me to hate HRC and her fans- which I will put all of that behind me now, and follow Barracks enlightened example, whoever they are and WHY ever they are that way. SECOND: I am an Independent, and I just need to say to all of you Democrats, slow down with congradulating yourselfs, DO NOT FORGET THE LESSON OF 2004. I dont know how yall lost to Bush twice but this is far, far from over so be smart. GO OBAMA !!!

"martin you expect his numbers to go up – really? 18 million people did not vote for him the primaries."
------------------–
REALLY!??!

18+ Million people (more than voted for Clinton) DID vote for Obama.

McCain wishes he could say that he got 18 million votes in the primary season, when in fact he can't even say he got half that.

If you think all or even a big part of the 18 million that voted Clinton are going to stay home or vote McCain then you are delirious and suffering from delusions of grandeur.

You are in the small minority of Clinton supporters who aren't going to back Obama.

You should not count the news week poll because it is always slainted toward obama. Bush is at 25% and obama tied with mccain, what does that tell you . The DNC ditched their best choice "Hillary".

Come November Florida will send a very loud and powerful message to McInsane...."NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN". FYI..... We Floridaians across the panhandle down to the keys are satisfied with the DNC ruling. We know that the Republican Legistation violated the DNC set date, therefore we knew prior to going to the polls. Everyone across the state is saying no one came out and protest on Jan.29th if they were so strongly against the DNC ruling it should have been petition then and there way before 01/29/2008. You noticed the Republicans are not upset remember they too were penalized with the 1/2 vote decision. Democrats unite!

Hillary forced out because of sexism?

I feel like that is way off base. There are significantly more women than men who are registered Democrat in this country, and women turned up to the polls during primary season in unbelievable numbers.

Hillary's problem wasn't sexism, it was that she didn't have a plan past Super Tuesday.

I find it foolish to see Democrats stating that they wouldn't vote for Obama in the fall because Hillary was defeated in the primaries.

Polls mean nothing. Remember a few months ago when McCain's candidacy was declared dead and Obama was a mere asterik? Regardless of what Obama's most rabid supporters might think, this is going to be a very close election. I would count McCain down at your own peril. The man is a bona fide war hero. He will not represent a 3rd Bush term anymore than Obama will represent a 3rd Clinton term... McCain has been attacked and pilloried more by his own party than anyone else.

To Go Hill,

Do you really allow your decisions to be swayed that easily. Why not show some backbone for once in your life.

If you can not stand by your party out of loyalty to one person you sould not even register to vote.

This poll show a 2% margin, an NBC poll yesterday showed a 10% lead- but we're just getting started.
Senator Obama will do in the general as he has done in the Primary- over come the odds and win in November!
Our party needs time to heal- those sporting Hillary Supporters for McCain stickers will dwindle in size as she steps forward and McSame will be himself. Get ready for CHANGE America!

Obama will win as soon as John McCain opens his mouth during the first debate.

It's really naive to think Obama and Clinton had the same agendas about how to go forward as a leader of this country.. I will not stay on the Democratic party side for someone I truly do not believe in.

Now that Clinton is out all we have left to choose from is the best of the worst.

O' Yes Watch obama fall in November 2008

Democrats 2008

Media tried to use polls al through this campaign to justify Hillary staying in the race,now the media is trying to push Hillary into the VP spot.

As a lifelong Democrat and loyal Hillary supporter, I will be one Democrat who no longer believes in the DNC, they have failed the people. They failed to remember that this country was founded on the principles of a nation for the people, by the people. Hillary won the popular vote and Nancy Pelosi showed poor leadership in making all superdegates vote for OBAMA.....McCain is a USNA graduate, as is my daughter, and I will vote for him because he is not at all like President Bush, he is a patriot, has served his country admirably, and has so much more experience than the empty rhetoric offered by OBAMA and his black power followers. This is a nation where all people are created equal, that means White people too,.

I will not be voting this year. If McCain is down in polls then I will hold my nose and vote for him. I will never vote for Obama even if Hillary compaigns for him or asks to vote for obama.

Whether Hillary is VP or not, she will provide a huge rallying cry for Obama and his already formidable support and fundraising will skyrocket, both with her last die-hard supporters and quite a few Republican moderates.

Together, the Democrats are unstoppable. The media likes to show maps of the country and compare it to 2000 and 2004-well, they're wrong. This will be a landslide as seven years of anger and frustration forge a new path for us to follow. This November we take back our country!

Clinton might endorse Obama, but she won't campaign for or with him. Michelle Obama will see to that. Michelle can't stand Hillary.

HRC:

Not sexism thing.

Not a white thing.

Not a economic thing.

Not an education thing.

...she was just not as strong of a candidate as Obama. Plain and simple.

America. What a great country to live.

Thank you Pat in NY, as well as all the other Hillary and Barack supporters extending kindness and understanding to each other.

Mike in Birmingham, mmm. Well Mike I am in Mobile, Alabama. I think you are confused about what state you live in. RED=Alabama. Are you sure you arent Mike from Berkley, California writing from atop a tree or Mike from NY or Hollywood. Mike sorry bud, but Obama has no chance in this state or anywhere near the south, midwest or other key Hillary/McCain states.

Once the democrats are unified these numbers will be a lot different.

John McCain should not be ahead by 5 points or less in states like Alaska,North Dakota,South Carolina,Mississippi,Missouri,Nebraska. These are red states, George Bush won these by 20 plus points.

He does not stand a chance. But WE NEED Hillarys supporters to bring the change Barack and Hillary talked about.-

who did they poll? certainly no one in Iraq.

From Strong Hillary supporter
I believe Hillary will get back to the game and win the nomination
Republican didn’t open the book still once they open the book Barack Huessien Obama get back to senate
Obama was playing the game in Home ground !!!!!!!!!!!!! with full support of Media Now it is not easy
If Hillary not the nominee my vote for Mc Cain
I am supporting Mc Cain with valid reason DNC ignore 18 Million votes
In that 18 millions votes 90 % whites
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

I really don't understand Hillary supports who are willing to give us four more years of Republican fear mongering and coprorate welfare because they are angry their candidate lost. I question if they are true democates or just victims of the cult of personality. The ideas of Obama and Clinton are fairly similar to a point, allowing another four years of republican rule just seems insane. Are you willing to risk the fate of our country just becasue your nominee didn't win. That is, in a nutshell, what is worng with this country, selfishness and a complete lack of apathy.

Obama/Whoever '08

I suspect Obama's numbers will continue to improve. First, he is no longer competing against Hillary Clinton. He can focus on competing against John McCain. The longer he is in a race, and the more campaigning he gets to do, the better he does. In addition, as we get nearer to the general election, many of Senator Clinton's backers will realize that Senator McCain is not their candidate. Yes, many will refuse to vote for Senator Obama, and so be it. Second, he'll actually get to debate John McCain. For someone that I used to think came off eloquently and in a Presidential manner, John McCain has slipped in a major way. His speech the other night was awful.

let's see what the polls say by next month!!!

obama is going to CRUSH mcbush!!!

mister 72 year old, second bush term mcsame! NO THANKS

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The poll doesn't reflect reality. McCain can't win. Period. I'm a republican-leaning independent, but have been absolutely disgusted with George Bush. In the mid 90's, the Republican party started going on the wrong course. Bush took that to an entirely new level. This is so much bigger than McCain...there's nothing he can do. Americans like me are pissed. We no longer feel represented by the Republican party. Democrats have moved in to represent those of us in this "void" that has been created by the Republican party. Republicans better get ready to be the minority party for a while. And the Republican party deserves it. Idiots.

To be truthful, many Clinton supporters feel so put out by the Obama supporters that we will not vote, or will not vote for Obama.
This was brought on by the nastiness by all of the Obama supporters. Good luck trying to get us back.

Hillary should run as an independent! The war will go on for at least
another four years no matter who is President.

All the RE PUB CANS who voted for Hilary, some will go back to McCain.............Once Hilary is out lets see the new polls!

How is this possible?! After the last eight years?! Seriously?! People, please wake up!!!!!!!

Dems are still thinking a Dem in charge is gonna get us out of Iraq, huh?

Who's been in charge of Congress lately?

How successful have they been?

Useful idiots, indeed.

If the polls are corrects, this does not look good for Senator O. Maybe he will be able to pull through, if not, it's fine because he ran a mangificant campaign and I am proud of Senator O.

Obama's campaign is a rare phenomenon, frictionless machine that runs with the energy of an insurgency and the efficiency of a corporation. His team has lacked what his rivals' have specialized in: there have been no staff shake-ups, no financial crises, no change in game plan and no visible strife. Even its campaign slogan — "Change we can believe in" — has remained the same. Now that’s “Leadership we can believe in”.

Obama is trailing by 2 before a general election AND I'm sure that survey included bitter Clinton supporters. After some debates, some rallys, and the some (not all) Clinton supporters get behind the Democrat nominee those numbers will go from 2 down, to 4 up, to 7 up...and by the time November rolls in Obama will be favored by at least 15.

Never Obama: Do you really expect 18 million people to cross parties just to spite Obama? Do what you want, but don't think you speak for the majority in any way, shape or form.

To Hillary Can Win in November and other Clinton Supportors:

I am an avid Obama supportor but only have been since January. Prior to then, I was for Hillary.

I completely understand that you are upset that she lost. It's not about sexism. That's a cop out. It was a very, very close race and she lost it.

Barack Obama has not done this to her. Actually, try as SHE might, she was unable to do to him what you are accusing him of doing to her. He has been more than gracious to your candidate and embraces her and her life long fight for universal healthcare. He has said that she will play a pivotal role in seeing universal healthcare become a reality. He is considering her for a VP slot. He wants her help and he's done nothing to discredit her. They WILL work together.

I was opposed to the idea of the "Dream Ticket" but am open to it now. I feel it is up to Obama who will be VP. He is a very fair man and he does respect Senator Clinton. I'm sure he will give her ANY job she wants in his administration. Why? Because she earned it.

In his speech on Tuesday, he celebrated her. I was there. In our moment of excitement for OUR candidate, we gave yours a standing ovation. This was a crowd of 18+ thousand with just as many standing outside the Excel Energy Center. There was no disrespect for Hillary – only praise.

Obama supportors PLEASE stop putting salt in the wounds of Clinton supportors. Be gracious winners – Obama would expect and appreciate it.

Democrats in 08

Get real people,the Dems are going to win some seats in the house and senate. However Obama will lose the WHITE house to a real American.

Gee, what happend to your whole "Obama is leading" thing? What happened to all of those polls, ha?

You dems aren't real bright. Tried to tell you that Clinton was the one to pick, but no.....you had to support the new guy with all the charisma and no experience. And I'm not even a democrat!

Quit following blindly.

Too late.

As an Obama supporter, I feel that the only way we will get the white house is for Clinton to be on the ticket. 18 million votes can not be ignored. without Clinton, the road will be very long and hard. We need to unify our party and make it happen! Lets stop the Bickering and come together before we blow this thing! So to the Clinton supporters, I embrace the idea of a joint ticket...We are One now!

You cannot vote for someone just because he speaks well! I'm so sick of this. Obama will not "blow McCain out of the water." Obama has not once talked specifics. He can speak all he wants. It's action that I want to see. So far the only thing Obama has demonstrated is all fluff. What substance does he have?

To HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!:

From a female youth voter please don't vote for McCain. My
Dad has already been to Iraq twice. Those that vote for McCain out of spite for their candidate not winning are as horrible as Bush. Thats right I said it.

To say that this was a sexist campaign is to ignore what people have done in the past with race. In the history of the Senate there has only been 3 black senators. There has been 15 female senators. HOW DARE YOU SAY IT IS SEXIST. DONT RUIN THIS TIME FOR THE 911 GENERATION TO HAVE THEIR VOICE BE HEARD OR ELSE I WONT PAY MY SOCIAL SECURITY THAT GUARANTEES YOUR SURVIVAL.

Also by the way if McCain wins he will complete the NeoCon court and Roe V Wade will be overturn. If Anything this should show you what could happen under McCain.

This is why the Rebulican party is SO effective – they would never allow a nominee race to go on so long. They back a single candidate for better or worse – it is thier greatest strength.

You know I have heard a lot of Clinton supporters claim they have been mistreated by Obama supporters and vice versa.
In what capacity were you mistreated? on the INTERNET?

You have NO idea who is speaking when you read commentary on the internet – for all you know they are paid neocons trying to cause a division in the Democratic party. If you want to judge a candidate, examine what comes directly out of thier mouths, how they vote, and the personal actions they take – not unsubstantiated commentary from the internet.
Take your information with a grain of salt and God please allow critical thinking seep back into the conciousness of this country.

anyone who would vote for McBush deserves to *wallow* in the same misery America has been wallowing in for 8 years and thats SAYS it all …!!!!!!!!
Obama 08 for change peace and prosperity!!

Barack ain't gettin' 270 EV in Nov. At the end, the only number that matters is 270. Leave it to the democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…once again. It's all about the electoral college, stupid. When would you (finally) learn lessons from the '00 & '04 presidential elections? (rhetorical Q of course)…

When I read comments from Hillary supporter I feel so much hatred, anger and selfishness. Because Hillary has shown us that!

When I read comments from Barack supporters I feel the unity and hope for a brighter future for all Americans. Because Barack Obama has shown us that.

I don't I want to be apart fo the Haters!!!

Thank you Barack

When the Dem Primaries started Obama was 30+ behind Clinton.
Now it's the Start of the General he's already Equal with McCain.

McCain doesn't have a hope in Hell.

Obama/Clinton 08

Bitter Hillary supporters,

This election is not about you or Hillary. This election is about correcting the huge errors the American people have made in the past 8 years (e.g., invading Iraq, voting an idiot into the WH twice, stopping stem cell research, reversing progress in civil rights and education, ignoring climate change). Take a look at the larger picture. Progress with these issues, esp. women's rights, cannot possibly be made with Republicans in charge. If you think women are going to be better off with McCain as President, you're nuts!

Sykesville, MD

Hooray for Obama!He is the new JFK.Now let's hope all the smart people vote democrat this time.Mc Cain reminds me of another famous person who talked thru both sides of his mouth-Eddie Haskell from Leave It To Beaver.I bet Mc Cain took lessons from watching Eddie on tv.He's the new Eddie Haskell-phony smile in your face and cutting you down behind your back!

Anyone who votes for McSame out of spite truly does not have the best interest of the country at heart or mind...

I think Obamas numbers will drop, This is going to be a terrible election for him. Kerry was ahead of Bush 17 points after he was nominated and look what happened.

I think Obama and Mccain will be working hard to get Hillary supporters, they have already been proven that their vote can not be bought no matter how much money Obama has.

The only thing that Obama can offer Hillary that Mccain cannot is VP, but I don't think she wants it unless she thinks it is for the party's sake. Mccain already said he is willing to have a bipartisan cabinet.

HILLARY will be the key to this election. She has more power now than if she was nominated. If the Dems don't treat her right from now on, they will be broken this year.

HRC needs to start repairing the damage she has done if it is going to happen.

How can you possibly compare Obama to McCain? Obama has the youthfulness and strength to lead the country. He draws more fired up crowds showing that he is very likeable. It had to take McCain to pause and laugh the the other day to draw applause from his audience. Compare that to Obama's victory speech, people were fired up throughout

I find this hard to believe.. There are many more poor people than rich people. How could you vote for McCain when he cares nothing about your finances, health, job, home, or children. If your child is currently serving in Iraq, he will be there until McCain says when have acheived victory. But what is his definition of victory. To eliminate all terrorists? How can you do that when thousands of them exist, and hunderds more come into the fold, probably every month. Our war is breeding even more furry against our country. So, McCain was right, we will be in Iraq for a hundred years.
Democracy's aren't created over night. Especially when the people do want it and are resistant to it. So, McCain, speculating and saying 100 years, is actually more closer to the truth of how long it would take to set up a strong democracy. And suppose we do, by luck, actually help the people of iraq actually achieve a sound democracy. They will also have militant groups opposed to it and it will always be under strain until it falls. A majority of the people of Iraq has to want it, an overwhelming majority. And, I for one, do not think that they do. So, why are we sending our troops over there Bush and McCain??

If he denies Hillary – he's lost her supporters as well. Popularity polls do not elect the president, the electoral college does. With his loss with ALL of the major states, he's in a lot of trouble this fall.

He should beg her for help...even that might not be enough.

Political Scientists will tell you that this is not good news for Bam Bam. He should be up by many more points at this point in time with al lthe rent happenings and all this supposed "excitement" over him being the nominee. 2 points tells us alot and they will go down as events progress and more Obama dramas surface. Heck of a job DNC, heck of a job !!!!

I'm not sold on either one of them. I don't know what's worse: having a bad plan (McCain) or having no plan (Obama). Although, if you look at the 2004 election, America chose Bush's bad plan over Kerry's no plan.

I look forward to their debates.

Hillary supporters can stand behind her by heeding her call to put Obama in the White House this fall. Whether as the Vice Presidential nominee or other important role, Hillary Clinton will have a prominent place in the Democratic Party and its future. I urge Hillary supporters to help Obama take the White House this fall. He will return the favor when she runs again. It's time to close ranks and send John McCain back to the Senate where he belongs.

Charismatic young professional against crazy bitter old white guy... yeah, I have no idea how this election is going to go.

Obama is going to win by a landslide.

The biggest reason Obama will win? It has nothing to do with policy or political positions, and everything to do with the way Americans think. Americans love to feel like they are part of something historical. Our first black president would be a historical event indeed, and a majority of Americans are going to want to tell their kids and their grandkids that they supported and voted for our first black president. Luckily for me, I agree with Obama's politics and positions. I feel bad for people who are being dragged kicking and screaming into this, having to futilely fight the inexorable current of history.

Hey, Obama, how's Tony Rezko lately?

Funny, you said that this wasn't the Tony Rezko you knew. Really? Your mentor? You also said the same thing about that racist preacher.

I wonder if Rezko will be as forgiving as the reverend.

Probably not.

Don't worry. While the leftest mainstream media is still getting tingles up their legs, like that moron, Chris Mattews, some independent journalist will get the story of how close you two were in the past.

Check your boots, son.

I don't have any doubt that President Obama numbers will go up and he will lead our country in November. We are all bless to have this smart man in our country.

This is a call to all Democrats – a call to rally for the cause. Today is the day after the final primary, and by all accounts, Sen. Barack Obama is our Democratic presidential nominee. Now is the time for the party to come together, regardless of who will be his running mate.

We have heard the speeches regarding the economy, the housing situation, the war in Iraq and health care, among other things. However, this presidential election is not just about these issues. Whoever is elected, especially if he is a two term president, may very well have the opportunity to appoint one, if not two, Supreme Court justices. These appointments will be a lasting contribution to this country that will have far reaching effects years from now.

Sen. John McCain has already indicated that if elected he will continue in President Bush's wake by appointing far right conservative judges. These judges have a few agendas, overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing religion to have a larger role in our government process and expanding the powers of government agencies and decreasing individual rights, (many of them despise Miranda).

Further, these judges often view the Constitution and Bill of Rights as a static piece of paper rather than as living documents that must be amended as times and situations change. While our forefathers were very progressive in their way of thinking and how they established the government of this great nation, it must be realized that America has changed dramatically in 200 plus years.

After the past eight years America has regressed in many ways, and as such we have lost international respect and admiration as a shining example of what a government should be. As we continue to move to the right and toward a theocracy, we will continue to lose individual rights and freedoms. (See other countries who are ruled by a religious faction).

Please, Democrats, come together now as a party and educate yourselves as to the true importance of this election. Regardless of which candidate you supported in the primaries, it is now time to stand up and try to bring this country back toward the middle.

Clinton supporters, consider this: If Obama wins in November, we will be out of Iraq and ready to set a course of rebuilding our country and defending AMERICAN soil...not every place in the world that McCain seems to think shotgun democracy will work in... If McCain were to win, we will continue our muddling and middling in the Middle East!

I'm a Republican who HATES to think of paying MORE taxes with democrats in the White House, but I truly think that Obama is awesome and will make a change for our country! I am willing to vote Democrat for the 1st time!!!

MCCain represents an administration of the past and the Republicans have proven readily that they are not capable of leading the American nation in a way that protects us both Economically and from Terrorism. Iraq is Cheney and Bush's war, not a war for the American people and trrops are dieing without cause or reason

7,000 + Americans have died on the Republican watch and 1,000 more from Katrina and mismangament of Federal relief efforts.

No more Republican mistakes. No more loss of Americans for personal greed and mismanagement. And McCain supported this administration step by step. Blood is on his hands as well.

LOL juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust wait

from Hillary to MCCAIN 08

If Hillary's supporters deflect to McCain and Obama loses, she will never win in 2012. Fair or not she will be blamed for fracturing the democratic party. If she can not lead her own supporters to stay true to our party, how can she lead the free world? By voting for John McCain you will make Hillary look like an impotent failure. YOU WILL RUIN HER POLITICAL CAREER FOREVER!

Received my email from Hillary this morning. Too bad she will support obama. However, I will not. I still feel this man is completely unfit and the biggest liar I've ever heard. The only thing he does well is steal other's ideas and words and tell people what they want to hear.
To put this racist man and his racist wife in the white house would be a shame. My family will not vote for this clown.

WH- Oh and you know above anyone else here when our troops are coming home? Do you see into the future? EVERYONE WH can see into the future! Another question...how long is "anytime soon"? Please impress all of us with you wealth of knowledge and your superhuman strength of "seeing into the future"

John McCain has become more dillusional. Now he's saying Obama is like George W. Bush in an attempt to distance himself from Bush. This is totally crazy.

To HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER:

YOU ARE VERY HATEFUL AND JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED HATE GETS YOU NO WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO SICKKKKK AND TIRED OF YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS ON THIS BLOG DOGGING OBAMA. HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO ANY OF YOU. IF YOU ALL HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM WITH MEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET SOME HELP OR JUST BE A LESBIAN!!!!!! I HAVE A TEENAGER DAUGHTER AND WE SAT AND WATCHED THE DNC THIS PAST SATURDAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SICKENED BY THE WAY HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ACTED. I'M SO GLAD THAT MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T SEE HER AS ANY TYPE OF ROLE MODEL.

OBAMA 08

'Hllary Can Win in November' you say that Hilary losing is somehow going to discourage females young and old from the political process, I disagree. Females and minorities can finally believe now that they have a legitimate chance of becoming leader of the USA. Hilary and Barack have done the USA such a service that will change the course of the country for forever for better.

Democrats 08

The next set of polls will show BO having a larger lead....now that he has the nomination in the bag, he will get a bump in the polls....

Observation about Clinton supporters............ wow the polls are right, uneducated v educated.................. She Lost get over it, No VP for her..... she couldn't even walk away with her dignity, NO SEXISM

anyone who would vote for McBush deserves to *wallow* in the same misery America has been wallowing in for 8 years and thats SAYS it all ...!!!!!!!!
Obama 08 for change peace and prosperity!!

Given the timing of this poll, I think it is higher now and will continue to grow especially as Hillary supporters come to grips with the fact that while there candidate didn't win, Obama is the next best alternative.

This underscores Barack's shakiness – he's only "even" with the weakest Republican candidate since Bob Dole (1996) in what should otherwise be a stellar year for Democrats. Obama's people have had their way, but remember that old adage about being careful for what you pray for. See you in 2012 Hillary!

have you forgotten the hostage crisis in Iran in the late seventies? it happened when america had a democrat president. on the eve of reagan's inauguration, if i am not mistaken, iran freed all the hostages. does this mean anything to you american folks.

I just don't get it. Some people are really going to vote for McCain? How? Are they don't going through the same economic hardship everyone but McCain and his friends is facing? Do people really think McCain cares about them? All he cares about is the tax bracket of his wife and his pals in Washington.

Wake up America!

Here comes the flood of Republicans posing as Hillary supporters....

Don't listen to them folks, they are trying to glean as many votes away from the Democrats as possible

Democrats '08!

Should McCain win this election and lead as well as he speaks.......we're screwed, and we're more screwed.

Funny that so many seem convinced Obama's numbers will go up. John McCain has gotten virtually no press coverage the last couple months, Bush Derangement Syndrome has infected millions, and STILL the current polls have Obama and McCain running even..

I think those who might be swooned by flowery rhetoric have already been swooned. I'm not sure how much more Obama's numbers'll go up. I can think of a LOT of things that will bring them down, however...

Yeah right! Nice try, not that many people are THAT stupid. Trust me. If they are, I'm leaving the country. Seriously.

Once Hillary supporters come to their senses...this will be a landslide victory. No one in their right mind would vote McInsane into office. He doesnt hold a candle to Obama.

dem's for McCain, enough said

Why does Hillary supporters always talk about sexism. Obama won fair and square. I take nothing from Hillary but give Obama credit on a race well ran and if he runs against John McCain the same way the Regugs are in deep trouble.

I will never vote for NObama no matter what the poll says. I am an executive and if his resume came across my desk, I will not even give it a second look. I'll file it under "TRASH". How can anybody vote for someone with no experience? Change is an empty word just like NObama is an empty suit.

I would vote for the devil I know over the devil I don't know.

And I am a Democrat.

Go McCain '08 !!!!

We will watch the messages of both senators and the media, too!

Now since the best candidate is out of the race, I will be switching parties and voting for McCain.

Here comes the flood of Republicans posing as Hillary supporters....

Don't listen to them folks, they are trying to glean as many votes away from the Democrats as possible!

Democrats '08

This is what frightens me. Senator Obama needs to get considerably further ahead of John McCain, or we can expect that the Republican cheating machine will rear its ugly head again. They'll steal the election through voter disenfranchisement and other dirty tricks, as they did in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. It's not even that the right wingers like McCain; they don't. It's more that they hate the opposition and will do anything to stop it. Enough! Vote Democratic! Go Obama!

McCain,Count your days – if you still can.Cos the only house you will be getting into will be the Old age.

I don't understand why anyone would even give a person like McCain a second thought.

So everyone who supports this guy is first-in-line to send their children to War right?

Good luck on your decision and the consequences you are going to have to face.

i hope barack beats george mccain or john bush both one in same.

How many pictures did you review before deciding that the picture of Obama was the best you had on file, or was finding the best the opposite of your intent?

Here comes the flood of Republicans posing as Hillary supporters....

Don't listen to them folks, they are trying to glean as many votes away from the Democrats as possible.

Democrats '08

As the price of gas keeps climbing, people lose their jobs, food prices rise, inflation inches up, the poll numbers will change. People ultimately vote their pocketbooks. They can dress up McCain anyway they like. He's still a Republican, and their policies aren't working.

WH, He did say there is no easy way, but he DIDN'Tsay it was not going to happen. He has said over and over again that they were going to IMMEDIATELY start moving brigades out.

You seem to be just another McCain fan scared into thinking McCain is the only option for winning a cival war in Iraq.

Wake up and start trying to make sense...

Hey CNN Obama has 5 months to smash McSame with something called truth. McSame will never win running on the Bush platform for more of the same. McSame can even smile like a normal human being.

This Hillary Supporter is 100% behind Obama.

Anyone else like me who says otherwise, is not a Democrat, never trully was a real Hillary Supporter, and is probably suffering mental illness...aka...a republican.

TO CLINTON SUPPORTERS WISH WHAT YOU WANT . WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER IF YOU CANT SEE THAT IT IS SAD AND SORRY. WE ALL LOSE IF OBAMA DOESNT WIN . BURN THE VILLAGE TO SAVE IT........

give me a break! like Clinton is a shoe in for anything. that lady is no role model for anyone and is more polarizing and divisive and into herself, not her party. you can best belive the GOP is holding back to drop some bombshells on Obama. Hillary would have been way to easy for the GOP to skewer. plus, we all know why she wants to be the VP, she most likely thinks Obama will not serve out the term.

Yor hardnosed Hillary supporters, get a grip, the democratic race has ended and Hillary will campaign with Obama!

As of McSame, he looks like a dead man when he is speeking
I have no clue what republicans are seeing in him.

Obama for president.

Supporters of Hillary, stop being nasty and follow her lead, we will endorse Obama on Saturday. Even she understands that the party is more important than her hurt feelings. I am re-gaining a little respect for her although I do not think that she should beg for the VP position. Who wants Bill looking over one's shoulder all the time? Obama has to show his strength

The only polls that matter are those amongst "likely voters" in the "swing" states. National averages are worthless. So what if Obama wins by large margins of the popular vote on the coasts? The Electoral College results will be determined by a handful of states that could go either way. Do proper polls (i.e., amongst "likely voters") in those states if you want to make predictions that are meaningful.

Obama talks a lot, but never says much. He just repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats and repeats... the same old line.. Change we can believe in. He never says what that change will be and can't make up his mind about what he'll do from day to day., i.e., Iran and Rev Wright, etc., How will he run the country? Terribly. It'll take him at 4 years to figure out why he was elected and who he has to pander to next..

Obama should receive a "bump" in the polls with his nomination. However it appears the general election is going to be close again. As it was in previous elections the Democrats need the big states to win. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same.

If the owner of fox news the most biased network in the business says
Obama will win in a landslide,I think that should wake up some of you
who say Obama can't win. This is one of the richest men in the world
and he didn't become so if he wasn't smarter then you or I.

Not for long.Go Bama GoBama. This is how we do it. Time will heal us and bring us all together. The ones that are going to vote McSame were not with us anyway and they have no brains. McSame will send their kids off to that war to DIE and think nothing of it. Their right to their own body wii be gone. This is serious business and some act as if it is some childs game where they can take their toys and go home.
I hope that after the dust clears her mind and heart will too. Boxers fight hard in the ring trying to win because that is the name of the game but after the fight they hug and or shake hands and move on to the next battle and ours is John McSame.

We know how polls work..things change everyday...

The polls do not consider facts that could throw polls out the window.....wait until Obama has to answer critics about his wife's hatred towards America and the Americans. Wait until he has to answer his allegiance to a church for 20 years....a church that hates America and Americans...wait until he has to answer the lies claiming that he did not receive any $$ from lobbyists only to be proven wrong by Lou Dobbs on CNN....wait until he shows signs of inexperience wanting to sit down and negotiate unconditionally with Iran and other thugs....wait until he shows his ignorance claiming that there is no Al Qaeda in Iraq only to be proven wrong by BBC and other International news channels....He is not ready for 08. Let's not risk the country in the hands of an inexperienced man with issues surrounded by family and people with issues...

WAKE UP AMERICA. You are about to mess up and mess up bad. Obama is unfit to be President of the United States. This is the worst screw up I have ever seen with a person that has a character in the gutter as Obama. We at least knew what we were going to get with Clinton. This is sick and hopefully Jesus will return before this election takes place. You want the terrorist in your back door–you are preparing to get them. He is gutless and a Muslim if you read your Bible.

This will all change as more and more Americans realize Obama is nothing but a propped up manchurian candidate.

McCain wins if Hillary becomes Obama's V.P. That combo would be a disaster!

Clinton supporters, consider this: If we rally behind Obama now and the Democrats win in November, we will be out of Iraq and ready to set a course of rebuilding our country and defending AMERICAN soil...not every place in the world that McCain seems to think shotgun democracy will work in... If McCain were to win, we will continue our muddling and middling in the Middle East..

The polls change like the wind. Next week or month, it will be something totally different.

OBAMANATION '08

YES WE CAN!

Now that Obama cannot whine about Clinton all you ZOMBIES will see how weak he really is.....McCain is going to make mincemeat out of him....we cannot handle anothe WEAK man in office!!!!
We had our chance with a STRONG woman but all you fools went toward the man with the silver tongue....FOOLS!!!!!!
I will NEVER EVER support the Domocratic party EVER AGAIN......I am now an "independent" for McCain...at least we know he can handle conflict without crying like a baby

Crazy McCain at least had the guts to defend our country which is more than can be said for 95% of both parties' politicians. Maybe you should be grateful there are people willing to defend your rights and keep your mouth shut.
And notice how Barack has changed his tune about the troops. Six months age they would all be home a few months after he took office. NOW he says (as per HRC) we must take a measured look and not rush into anything. What a PHONY,pandering flip-flopper.

This article should clearly point out, early on, that the difference is within the margin of error!

Thank you!

HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!! June 5th, 2008 10:38 am ET

HILLARY WAS FORCED OUT BECAUSE OF SEXISM!

THIS IS SAD, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN WATCHING, INCLUDING OBAMA'S DAUGHTERS.

WHAT A SAD TIME FOR HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS.
I WILL ALWAYS STAND BEHIND HILLARY, AND HOPE THAT SHE RETURNS IN 4 YEARS TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY!

May question to you and all the other persons who so incline to talk and act in this manner. Can you please become UN-AMERICAN?

With people like you, we don't need enemies, you are already too taken up with hate and hate is what gets us all down.

Sexism? Please, if you are using media coverage to base your voting decision, you do not deserve the priviledge nor a soap box to spout off your ridiculous arguments from. Everytime I see the word "sexism", I see a sad projection of one's self – and the inability to create what rational people know as a valid argument.

This is not about Man or Woman( SEXISM) for Precidency. I can say about racism too (Hillary and her daughter also watching it). Any way keep all these this aside.All matters to US is good to win election in Nov.

Due to the length of the Democratic nominating process, many Americans have not had a lot of time to hear anything that John McCain was saying; which was a hugh benefit to the Republican party. Now that Hillary Clinton is leaving, it is only a matter of time before most Americans will realize that John McCain is boring, bumbling and incompetent. McCain will make George Bush look like Einstein and the sad part is that the Republicans know it. In fact this election will be another Bill Clinton versus Bob Dole, which was no contest.

By Labor Day Barack Obama should be up by about 15%-20% points; he will have that hugh lead despite all of the dirty tricks that the Republicans will pull. By the time the election rolls around Obama might be up by 25%-30%, not because he ran an excellent campaign, but instead it is because McCain is a terrible candidate, in fact the Republicans could not have made a worst choice. By election night there are even going to Republicans who admit that they voted for Obama, because a McCain Presidency is too scary to anyones imagination .

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR HILARY SUPPORTERS.
IF YOU CANOT THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW,THEN YOU ARE NOT AN INTELLIGENT VOTER.
WE VOTE WITH OUR HEAD NOT WITH OUR EMOTIONS,I AM OBAMA SUPPORTER FROM DAY ONE BUT IF THE PARTY WOULD HAVE CHOOSEN MRS CLINTON I WOULD VOTE FOR HER.BECAUSE WE CNNOT AFFORD ANOTHER BUSH PLAN FOR THIS COUNRTY.THE REASON THAT PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST SUPPORT OBAMA,IS THEY SEE A RATIONAL MAN,AN INTELLIGENT MAN THAT THEY CAN TALK AND RESOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES.BELEIVE ME MY MESSAGE TO OUR JEWISH VOTERS. A RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAN,DIAOLOGUE WITH HAMAS,WILL PRODUCE A MUCH SAFER NEIGHBOUR FOR THE SAFETY OF ISREAL.HAMAS AND AHMADI NEJAD ARE DIRECT RESULTS OF NOT SPEAKING AND BOMBING.

Obama will be worse than Jimmy Carter. You people better start packing your basement with non-perishable foods.

Senator Obama is a person of good moral principles. McCain is surrounded by lobbyists and interest groups' money. How can he claim "a leader you can believe in"? A self-called leader that is backed by oil companies (among others) and is using public money for his campaign? He has no ethics! You can truly believe that he represents Bush's third term, you can be sure about that. Vote for McCain and don't complain about gas prices and more senseless wars which will take the lives of more Americans in order to make his fellows richer! Hillary supporters: she or Obama are either of them far better than Bush's comrade! Is time to turn the page and move on. America cannot wait four more years! Obama can and will beat McCain! Obama '08! DON"T BE AFRAID OF THE REAL CHANGE..!

Give me a break! The people who run these polls probably are the same ones who said that a minority would NEVER become it's party candidate. Who's running these polls? Karl Rove? When Obama is bringing in thousands to hear him speak and John McCain maybe a hundred paid photo opts, who do you really think is going to win this November? John McCain is just a token candidate for the Rebulican's this time around as they know they are going to get beat up pretty good this coming November. Does anyone in their right minds actually want four more years of the Bush fiasco? Only way John McCain can win is if he gets Putin to show him how to stack the ballot box!

Looks like anybodys ball game. So will Nader/Barr/Paul pull a spoiler for one of these puppets? Main stream media and the elites win again.

One more reason Obama should be Clinton on the ticket. 18 Million of us will go to McCain and the "tie" will be broken.

And due largely to the media's undying love for Obama...
Turned Republican!

Who is running as Green Party candidate? I have major problems with both McCain and Obama.

Just remember the bad economy position of the country, high gas prices, thousands of soldiers died in Iraq, The harm this war caused to millions of Iraqis, the jobs loss all over the country .... etc.

Then u will have the answer.... Change, Change, Change.

Dear HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!, Clinton Supporter & GO HILL!

Isn't it ridiculous the way the Democratic Party's leadership propped up this character?

They have no right to gamble with the future of the country and the Democratic Party in this way. What the Rules & Bylaws Committee did was horrible. By giving Obama delegates that he didn't earn (especially by giving him 4 delegates that Hillary DID earn) hey totally destroyed the moral highground of "Count Every Vote" that the Democratic Party gained in the 2000 fiasco.

I remain loyal to the causes of the Democratic Party, but the party's leadership has failed us worse than ever before.

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

Hidden in Obama's many messages of hope are

TAX AND PRICE INCREASES FOR ALL AMERICANS.

All the rhetoric in the world does not change the facts:

corporations do not pay taxes. They simply increase the price of their goods and services to offset the taxes.

free or supplemented services require money in the form of outright tax increase or borrowed funds that essentially result in higher prices

will all of hillary's supporters stop crying "sexism"!!
she lost by 200+ delegates, how is that sexism?!?!?
toughen up and stand behind the democratic nominee so we can win this thing in november.

Who left the black and white crayons out of the box?

How is this possible? The worst adminstration in history and the democrats are not running away with it? Could this possible another Reagan crossover? I will not vote for McCain, I will write Hillary on my ballot in November. The Obama supporters don't need nor want my vote anyway.

TO "HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER"

A lot can happen in 4 years A LOT!
Don't we know that by now?

It's time to move on and bring this country back to help the Average American who struggles – NOT the wealthiest Americans, NOT special interests, etc....

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Someone give me one example of sexism against Hillary, at least one that she didn't summon herself......you can't, because there wasn't any. Why is it that if Hillary had garnered mroe support, it would have been because she was the "stronger" candidate, but because she didn't have enough support, now it's because of "sexism"????

Michelle is going to lose it for Obama.

Now that Hillary was forced out, this Floridian is casting vote for Mccain, because he is honorable and more experienced than the other one, I don't even want to mention his name, because I don't really know him. Is his wife Michelle even more proud of America now?l

his numbers are going to go up, really? Rezno take a poll on Obama friends, contributors and many other things we don't know.

That poll is not relevent. If does not take into account the sentiment of voters after he locked up the Democratic nomination. The post that are going to more relevant is after the two candidates start debating. I believe that Obama will beat McCain in the debates and the general election.

Why would you punish Obama and the country as a whole in retaliation for your perception of media sexism? Obama didn't do it. Boycott CNN or MSNBC or whatever news you're listening to. Don't let our country face further destruction because of something that's not Obama's fault.

Not voting for him is the most sexist thing you can do from my perspective as a young feminist. The next president will appoint Supreme Court justices – I don't want them overturning Roe v. Wade or continuing to increase the limitations on a woman's ability to fight for equal wages as has already begun to occur with Bush's appointees.

I urge you feminists who are not voting for Obama because of sexism to think again about me, your daughters, and your future grandchildren.

I think all 18 million of us strong must unite and vote for McCain in the fall,so we can send a strong message to the party leader,Hussein Obama and the whole media not to mess with Hillary and her supporter.

Go team Hillary!

For every woman out there crying about how Hilary was forced out because of sexism, I ask you: What evidence do you have of this? What sources, aside from anecdotal evidence and your own hurt feelings can you cite?

Maybe there were some Hilliary supporters called and they are jumping to McCain. I would think Obama's numbers would have been higher after he won the nomination since the media has painted him the next savior.

Obama will pull ahead of McCain. Obama has been busy trying to win the nomination. Watch Obama will lead again. Besides polls are based on 500 – 1,000 people which do not speak for the country as a whole. They are worthless!

Future side-by-side comparisons between Obama and McCain will not turn out favorably for McCain, and Obama will win in a landslide.

I supported Clinton in this election, but like a true supporter (not like the angry commenters here who merely call themselves her supporters), I will support who she supports for president: Senator Obama.

Hello sound environmental policies, healthcare, and a sensible foreign policy!

If people look beyond POW and "war hero" with McCain, they'll see a man that speaks with forked tongue, and has some serious mental issues to consider, such as PTSD and early dementia.

McBUSH & OBAMA are in DEAD HEAT right now that YOUNG MAN
has'nt got after the OLD BUSH BASTARD as of now Obama will be the first Democrat in yrs. who WON'T take that CRAP off the Republicans.I THINK OBAMA WILL GET NASTY IF THATS WHAT THEY WANT.

I am hoping now that BO has won the nomination the Democratic party will be united. I really hope that people dont decide that they are going to vote for McCain to spite BO. That's really not a smart move. Will you really suport a 3rd Bush term of war, bad econimic policy, horrible education, etc, just to keep him out. We all know that Hillary will take the VP spot. He just has to take his time because she is forcing his hand in the matter..

Come on and jusp in for the big win

Obama 08

I think the key is that there are 10 percent undecided voters. McCain has a nack for getting those those people that are undecided. Don't count out McCain.

martin you expect his numbers to go up – really? 18 million people did not vote for him the primaries.

"Not for long. Remember how many times Obama was 30 to 40 points BEHIND and he came back to a 40 point win!" – NickNas 10:37

I don't recall that ever happening.

Vote Nader (dot) Org

I look forward to the first time Obama and McCain have a debate. Obama will blow McCain right out of the box. It will be evident to the rest of the country when you make a direct comparison of the two candidates on the economy, the war, health insurance, and the rececession that McCain will continue to look more and more like Bush and Obama will look like a fresh new start away from old politics. If McCain doesn't have three teleprompters in front of him he can't remember names, numbers or dates. Is this the man you want running the country?

Obama is taken the fight to McCain....we're going to get the white house and capital hill back for the democrat's. Obama is taken on this fight with approval from a higher authority.

DEMOCRAT'S UNITE.

(If the HRC supporters don't want to unite thats O.K. just watch Obama's go up, up, up, the ladder) He doesn't need HRC. She is no longer a running candidate.

History will record that in their 2008 presidential election year, the American people were so desperate for change that they were willing to believe almost anything and anyone who promised it.

Obama is the wrong candidate. The DNC will know soon enough that they backed the wrong guy.

I expect those numbers will change again and again before the November election. I think the numbers that count are the final votes on that day. Polls are not accurate because of the way the questions are phrased. They can be arranged to say what the pollster wants the outcome to be. I think now that Obama is the presumptive nominee that we will really see whether or not he can carry the southern states as well as the hispanic vote.

The "deadheat" poll results should be expected. However, as always, once Obama gets out there and is actually "listened" to by the Republicans the numbers will sway in his favor. That is, if truly "listening" is possible for most Republicans who seem to have an inate ability NOT to really "listen" to anybody who doesn't wear a lapel pin or is "different" to what they're used to. I do have faith in America that MOST will at least hear what he's proposing and see the stark differences between McCain and Obama. If they would rather have 4 more years of high prices and misery across the board, they'll vote for McCain. If they want to get on the bandwagon of getting involved in forcing "change" from our local politicians along with the "professional" politicians, then they'll see it makes sense to start this journey of "changing America" with Obama!

Someone commented that "Hillary was forced out due to sexism!"

I don't believe it. Hillary was the frontrunner going into this campaign and drove out other established Dems like Joe Biden and Chris Dodd.

Also, look at the vote in places like Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Hillary pretty much admitted, as did Gov. Rendell, that there are people who won't vote for Obama because of his race.

So the "ism" knife cuts both ways, and if sexism and racism cancel each other out, you're left with two visions for the country and two individuals promoting those visions. And in that contest, Obama won.

Mark my words. No contest. The smart money say's Democrats in a landslide!

After months of McCain having no competition, and Obama and Clinton engaging in daily mud-slinging battles, Obama still has a lead. Imagine what it could look like with a unified Democratic party behind him...

Obama 08 !!!!
Bushwacking the same with McCain.I t's over.
Restore USA infrastructure & world leadership & co-partnering relationships =Obama 08 !!!!
No Billary ,no JMcSame

Obama is taken the fight to McCain....we're going to get the white house and capital hill back for the democrat's. Obama is taken on this fight with approval from a higher authority.

DEMOCRAT'S UNITE.

(If the HRC supporters don't want to unite thats O.K. just watch Obama's go up, up, up, the ladder)

These polls are irrelevant until Hillary officially drops out. Then let's see how big the gap is!

None of this matters. What matters is that we go out in November and vote Democrat. Whether you're an Obama fan or Hillary fan, we need to unite, because none of us are McCain fans...

Notice the way the cnn.com photo editor juxtaposed a picture of a "grim" looking Obama next to a picture of a smug looking McSame.

Hmm... manipulation of the readers' minds to make them think that Obama is somehow "struggling" by the look on his face?

Come on CNN, you can be more impartial than that. You're supposed to simply report the facts, not perpetuate a false sense of strife on stories like this.

Even after all those lame McBush stmts!? Come on CNN! Your not pulling enough weight here!!

I dont believe HRC can undo what she did, It might be too late. Hopefully the history books will be kind to her and not call her the Great Devider of 2008. What do you call it when Democrats that support Hillery become bitter and want to prove a point?

What do you think the History books will say about HRC?

Wow after all the media has done to help Obama especially cnn with all the hype of the new messiah and 8 years of Bush we're at a tie, dha is it possible Obama is a flawed candidate and yet his problems are just starting with his partner in corruption Tony Rezko who was found guilty yesterday and another video showing Michelle Obama on a racist rant in june 2004.

Yeah, I'm sure Obama's daughters would rather see Clinton get the nomination over their father.

I just got an email from a friend who is a Democrat. She and her husband are voting for McCain.

I was a Democrat until two weeks ago when I became an Independent. I am writing in Hillary Clinton.

I think Obama has some work to do. I am unhappy because he ran on a racial ticket (as an African American, which is being touted in the press as "historic") and excluded his other ethnicity of having a white mother. I feel this makes whites feel threatened in some ways.

And as a woman it makes me feel disenfranchised by Obama. I am concerned that women will play a minor role in the Obama White House.

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

Do another poll now.. I am sure that has changed.

Obama, pick another lady to be your VP, not Hillary. she will come with her husband and take the spotlight.

Look at South Dakota Polls, he was ahread in that and lost that State. He will NEVER win!

one thing i can't stand is these stupid national polls 5 months before the election. what use are they? they have no use at all!

another problem with these stupid national polls is that they are based on popular vote, which does not tell us how the electorial map will play out in the end.

STOP THE USELESS POLLS!

More war, recession, unemployment, high gas prices, America's poor world image, crumbling infrastructure, lack of healthcare-yes McCain offers a lot to the American people.

Hillary supporters, please do not be spiteful and vote for John McCain! Go to barackobama.com and read up on Obama, so you can realize that his policies are so in line with Hillary's. It would be a huge mistake to vote for McCain, he is the complete opposite of everything Hillary and Obama stand for! Please THINK about this and come to the right choice!

After few debates, you will see more people coming towards Obama...
I expect 55-45 soon

Yes we can

McCain 08!

Obama will NEVER get my vote. I will not stand side by side with these crazy Obama nuts! NEVER.

Hillary has been cheated this byt The Media and people calling her Racist. Obama is the true Racist! His camp has been running with it.

This is exciting.
I would like to see the two nominees debate any time soon.
I hope they will focus on the issues that matter to our nation.

No Hillary?

NO DEMOCRATS

I will ACTIVELY campaignf or McCain

IN NOVEMBER WE"LL REMEMBER (the way the DNC screwed Hillary)

Ironman, did you not listen to Obamas speech the other night? His words on Iraq were..........there is no easy solution. I really hope all of you don't lose your faith once you realize that the troops will not be coming home any time soon. The troops know it......maybe you should realize it.

Gramps is going to find out he can learn a lot from this bright young man. Show 'em all Obama !!

McCain is getting Clinton's supporters and that's really sad.

I don't beleive that for a minute !!!!

Jeffrey Toobin should be ashamed. Gloria Borger needs to stop making faces at the back row of the best political team, then change to a smile as she realizes she's truned back and facing the cameras. Cooper needs to hold a "love-in" for BO and come out of the closet for him. And most of all, Cafferty, the sexist, needs to be removed from television and go on talk radio where his bias and sexism belong.

i expect obamas numbers to go up ,when clinton's gone.

Come on CNN, if you're going to publish poll data, I say scrap all of the past data and start fresh. It's time to stop looking backward and start focusing on what's happening NOW.

Polls, schmolls. You can cut that data any way that seems sensational or press-worthy to get a good headline.

These polls mean nothing, they've been wrong so many time's, last 4 years ago Bush was supposed to loose in the polls and look what happened. I really think some people make the opposite choice to confuse the other party and hope some of the other side stays home.

They use to call him Crazy McCain when he was in the military. Imagine him running the country. Stop being bitter and prejudice. You know McSame is not the best thing!!

Interesting because the other polls i looked at (including the one on the front page of CNN today shows Obama over mcwar by 5+ points or more. No matter by November smart people will have seen the light.

THIS IS A PERFECT TIME FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS TO BELLY UP TO THE BAR. WILL THEY SAY "SEE I TOLD YOU SO?" OR WILL THEY SUPPORT THE PARTY. IF THEY CHOOSE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO THEN I HOPE THEY WILL NOT COME BACK WHEN WE START WINNING WITHOUT THEM. WIN OR LOOSE OBAMA DID BETTER THEN CLINTON WHICH IS MORE THEN ANYONE EXPECTED.

Watch Obamas fall!!

Now that Hillary is out....he will drop like a rock!!!

Bye, bye Obama!!!

Everytime I get to a point where I could stomach voting for Obama, the CNN "best political team" opens their mouths and bash Hillary. They have made my decision for me, NOT to vote for BO, and it just confirms the bias and sexism I have seen against Hillary since last year.

That will start to change once people get to know Obama and his differences with McCain. I think this may be a close election year, but Obama will take it in the end.

No more republicans. Stop the drama and vote Obama!! Put all your anger and bitterness aside and do the right thing. GOD bless Obama and HRC!! I hope they can make it happen and bring this party back together!! I am tired of suppoprting an endless war!!

All you HRC supporters, if you really want to see HRC win vote Obama. They believed in the same thing. We need to change this country. Voting McSame is only hurting you!

HILLARY WAS FORCED OUT BECAUSE OF SEXISM!

THIS IS SAD, BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN WATCHING, INCLUDING OBAMA'S DAUGHTERS.

WHAT A SAD TIME FOR HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS.
I WILL ALWAYS STAND BEHIND HILLARY, AND HOPE THAT SHE RETURNS IN 4 YEARS TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY!

I suspect the polls will tip increasingly in Obama's favor now that he can focus on McCain and not deal with attacks from Hillary. Now that he can focus on the real issues and show stark contrasts to McCain, more voters will come to realize that Obama's ideas are more inline with what everyday Americans need and think.

Not for long. Remember how many times Obama was 30 to 40 points BEHIND and he came back to a 40 point win!

Now that the Democrats can focus on a SINGLE target things will go very well for us.

Hillery said "My differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans."

Nuff Said
Democrats 2008

no more GI Deaths. Be on the team that brings our troops home NOW!
