Oh yes, Obama will take VA. I'm in southern part near Bristol and it's Obama EVERYWHERE. I have yet to see ONE single thing with McSame's name on it. NOT ONE. My uncle is an army veteran, VA patient, 68 years old and white. He's (as well as the rest of our ENTIRE family) are behind Barack. McSame's main concern is McSame and his cheating wife. You guys really want a theif, pill-popping first lady?? Makes the lovely Michelle look like Mother Teresa. And that's a fact, jack!

McCain who?

I am optimistic that Barack Obama will win the Virginia in November. Look at what 8 years of Bush did to us. It has brought us sadness, trickkle down economy, inflation, regression and so forth. Who in their right mind will elect John McCain who is as sturbon as George W. Bush. United States will be heading for self distruction if we are to elect McCain which is clearly Bush third time in Office.

The DNC is fooling themselves if they think Viriginia is going to forget about Barack and Michlles view of America

Bitter, gun toting, Typical white person, faithless, etc.

Virginia is going to say NO to Obama

I am optimistic that Barack Obama will win the Virginia in November. Look at what 8 years of Bush. It has brought us sadness, trickkle down economy, inflation, regression and so forth. Who in their right mind will elect John McCain who is as sturbon as George W. Bush. United States will be heading for self distruction if we are to elect McCain which is clearly Bush third time in Office.

Obama can win most every state in Nov. McCain has no chance of winning – none.

Obama had more people vote for him in GA, than McCain and Huckabee put together. He had more in Iowa than, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, and the two other republican candidates. We'll be ok with out the cry babies. Pleas believe it

And like Hillary said on saturday...Yes We Can!!!

Go Obama!

Well-good luck with that!!

Democrats Beware!

Republicans have launched a blogosphere campaign where they claim to be Democrats who will vote for Senator McCain since Senator Clinton is not the democratic nominee!

Do not be fooled!

This is nothing more than republican tricknology, Karl Rovian VODOO; Of course all real democrats would NEVER vote for George W. Bush’s third term, ENDLESS war, overturning of Roe V. Wade, or more record profits and tax breaks for oil companies while the average American spending power continues to thin.

Be Brave Democrats and be watchful!

With a majority Democratic legislature and a Democratic President we can see real change not gridlock! Wake up Dems do not be fooled.

ROFLMAO – He did NOT run a clean race! Race being the operative word.... His camp and his supporters made sure that ANYONE who voiced ANY opinion against him were quickly labeled RACIST. THAT is NOT a CLEAN campaign.

You people have totally forgotten all Hillary and Bill Clinton did for race relations and while back in January I might have been willing to vote for him, that is a faint chance now thanks to his attitude, his affiliations, his wife (BTW – I've read half of her Thesis and it is sad. Even if the topic and results so far were not utterly contrived she clearly did not understand the concept of spelling) etc etc etc.

Just say no to Dick Chaney's cousin Barrack Obama.

No more Chaney's in the White House!!!

McLame will re-invade Vietnam to finish the job, so we will need to reinstate the draft...

Not a chance. We will not allow Obama to with our state. We are all united. Jim Webb has done enough damage here. We do not want democrats ion our state. Go away including you, Mr. Obama.

To Mark Cross Junction VA June 9th, 2008 2:13 pm ET
I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! Some liberal that can't control a gang infested neighborhood in Chicago and he wants to be able to control Iran? What a laugh, name one accomplishment this man has done other than graduate from a manner or elegant speaking mailorder seminar.
-----------------------------
It's voters like you that make a person ashamed that you ever consideted yourself a democrat. You question what he's can't control, but it appears you are the one that can't control your prejudice and selfish rage.

We got your back Obama...

I hope the voters who can't afford gas, health care, lose love ones in this war and high food cost, find you so they can tell you what a dummy you are......................A little something to THINK about.....
When you say you are going to teach the DNC party or Obama a lesson, he still will be a Senator, lawyer and more? After November they all (including Hillary) will still be able to AFFORD gas, make ENOUGH MONEY to survive any type of economy woes, outstanding health insurance, Jobs, MILLIONS of dollars in their accounts. The only person who learn a lesson is us, because you are a selfish person.

I wouldn't count my chickens before the eggs hatch. Virginia usually goes repiblican. Of course this is normal rehortic for the Obama camp. They think they can win texas also. I guess he thinks that all the hispanic vote that went for hillary clinton will go for him. The hispanics or not stupid. They see how him and his church feels about america and the white population so they would know they would be on his list. He also claims he can win Utah, North Carolina, ,wyomming, monatanna , idaho, nevead and missouri. I believe in the tooth fairy also.

Sorry to post here but other was closed.

Dear Clinton Supporter, "ON OTHER BLOG"

I do not have a lot of money, but I donated to Obama. Your reasoning does not make sense. Not all Obama supporters have money to throw around on a whim. I work VERY hard for my money. Being a single mother of three who doesn't get the support from her ex makes it that way.
I need my job and do not want it shipped overseas. Most of all I need my children here not going off fighting a war that we should not be involved in. Please understand that all you people who are saying vote for mccain and then hillary in 12. I would have a hard time voting for hillary if my child comes home in a body bag because someone was upset that their favortie person did not win and voted for an insane person to take office over someone who was similar to my candidate.

I cannot believe what I am reading on these blogs.. I refuse to let hate consume me... I want a better future, I am a woman and I want to keep my rights.. as a woman.. if I had a choice between a person who has gotten caught... swindling all of America...Keating5 " McCain..someone who can barely remember what he said on a day to day basis.. and someone we know lobby harder than anyone else in world... my choice is very clear... I just hope and pray that every one else wake up before its too late....

If you take a look, a close and hard look .. even McCain's smile is fake....so how can he be real with us as Americans.......

For all the Obama supporters on here who say that Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain are truly republicans – this deranged train of thought is exactly why Obama will lose come November. You thought we were bluffing, but the exit polls from every state showed a major exodus of Democrats to McCain or would sit out the general if Obama got the nomination. Now you are seeing the real effects of it, not just a data point any more.

I'm a Democrat, but as I've gotten older I realize how important it is to place emphasis on the candidate and not the party. Party hacks are sheep who follow the flock, and sometimes over the cliff. I like to think I'm an independent Democrat who votes for the best candidate. Hillary was the best candidate, but McCain in second best and Obama is third. If McCain drops out, I'll vote for Obama. Does that make you happy???

I respect Hillary. You should too and follow her lead if you voted for her. She may be ruthless but she is not dumb. She is making the most logical decision.She knows Barack is the next best thing to her. He may lack her "experience", but he shares her values where it counts

McCain doesn't equal Hillary. So why vote for McCain? McCain doesn't want Universal health care, etc. So why vote for McCain? 4 years is a long time to go through hell. Haven't we had enough? Vote Democrat. Vote Obama.

Did you know that Obama is like 95% the same as Hillary when it comes to the issues? Don't blame him for things he can't control like the media or the DNC rules. Don't take out your frustration on the American people. Majority of Americans can't suffer through 4 more years of Bush policies, and yes, McCain is just like Bush when it comes down to the economy, and the war in Iraq. Two big issues. Obama is just like Hillary. Hillary wouldn't endorse Obama if he was the total opposite? Remember she didn't endorse McCain!

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA

I LOVE THE WAY THE HRC SUPPORTERS ARE CRYING, THEY WERE

NOT THIS VOCAL WHEN THE PRESS CLAIMED HRC HAD THE

NOMINATION IN THE BAG. AND WHILST THEY ARE AT THEIR

WHINNING CAN THEY SHUT UP ABOUT WHO THEY ARE VOTING FOR.

THEY DONT NEED TO REMIND US THEY ARE ON ANOTHER

LOSING TRAIN, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He can win Virginia, but it won't help when he can't win Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania or Michigan!

BHO: A phenomenon

Hillary: Ready to be President!

ISN'T THIS ONE OF THE STATES THAT HE IGNORED?

PEOPLE DO NOT FORGET THIS STUFF!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

YOU WON'T HAVE MY VOTE!!!!!!!

They thought Dukakis could win the election also.

This is a hype, he has no chance to win there that is why he is there now ,he is trying to figure out whether he can win it or not if he hires one of those guys from there as VP. I expect that he won't be hiring them because he can't win that state with them or without them and there are better,bigger and more likely states to turn blue than Virginia.

Maybe several months ago. He won't win it post Wright/all the Clinton supporters who will be protesting for McCain.

I hope he spends a lot of money there.

BETTER ECONOMY

END TO WAR

HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL

COLLEGE FOR US & OUR VETS

SPEND OUR MONEY ON US.

THERE IS NO CHOICE.

Excerpt to consider ...

A New Gallup Poll summary of surveys taken in May shows Obama winning 62 percent of Latino voters nationwide, compared with 29 percent for McCain. The pro-Democratic group Democracy Corps compiled surveys from March through May that showed Obama with a 19-point lead among Latinos. And a Los Angeles Times poll last month showed Obama leading McCain by 14 points among Latinos in California.

Keep in mind, Obama won Latinos in Virginia...

Yes, they can, they have damaged/hijacked this "undemocratic party", they tray to damage this country as well?
So who can save this country? John McCain, he is the only option for us in Nov, wake up, man...

OBAMA/WEBB! Yes we can!

This as been without a doubt a "Historic Event. For the frst time, in our country we have had a woman and a Black American running for the highest office of our country.I believe this was our time to have a woman be the nominee for the Democratic Party. I do not see any difference between Obama and any othe man who has run for the Presidency of our country. It would have been a real change if a woman would have been the nominee.I do not think there is any other woman in public office that has the qualifications that she has.Hillary is an extraordinay woman who showed strength, tenacity and tremendous intelligence. She would have represented the real change we need in our country.

The change in the population in Northern Virginia to younger professionals that are Democrats is a positive for Obama. For all of the talk about Obama have a problem attracting Clinton supporters, McCain has his own problem attracting Evangelical Cultural Conservative Christians. They are not warming up to him. McCain has a big problem. He has to appeal to Independents while at the same time he has to fight a way to get Christian Conservatives to warm up to his candidacy. I do not think he can get Christian Conservatives energized enough to go out and vote for him.

He not only can win. He WILL win. People don't want to see a third Bush term!

Obama '08!

yup, you won us once, you'll win again!

VOTE RON PAUL VOTE RON PAUL...VOTE BARR VOTE BARR VOTE BARR.....YOU HATE MCSAME YOU HATE BUSH.....

cnn post this Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

I am a Dem, I feel what Hillary's supporters are fed up with the DNC in general, showing favoritism to Obama because of (race), The DNC is going to have a real rough time getting support from Hillary's supporters, she was treated very badly by the Dem party, Ted Kennedy started the opposition to Hillary when he endorsed OBAMA, because of statements made by Bill Clinton. TEDDY sold her out, also SUPERDELEGATES. now lets see TEDDY fix the party now!!!!!!!!
OBAMA was the DNC's chosen one!!
HILLARY was the nominee not BILL!

i'll be surprised if there are any red states left.only an idiot would vote for more criminal republicans.

If I were Obama, I will tell these "uneducated" and "bitter" Hillary supporters where to go and hide until this election is over. If they think they are doing Obama a favor, that says a lot about the "mind-set" of these folks!

This is NOT about Obama or even the DEM party; it is about the direction that this NATION needs to take! I do not care, as long the individual has the "guts" to bring about "change" in Washington, I will give my vote to that person– Green, Yellow, Black, young or old! This is simple common sense.

Hillary had all the resources, and she blew them all! She ran a horrible campaign, and there is no doubt that she would have ran the U.S. in a horrible manner if she had been the nominee!

No one has made a case yet that Hillary would have done better than she did here! She planned for this process for years, and has only herself to blame. I did support her, but could not hang on to this level of "failure." There is nothing here to be proud about; she disappointed me!

Obama 08 !!

yes, we can.i believed america need change,and virginia is a part of our country and they believe in changes,yes they will.

And Obama can brought much more good things than McTruc, I'd say. We don't need a 71-years-old guy for a president, even if he is a "war hero". I don't want a kind of GI Joe in the White House, but a man in who we can believe in, and a President we could be proud of , at last. It is time for a real change in America, and we need that change NOW.

Obama for President – 2008

Not after his Frisco comments he won't. He'll rue the day that he made those comments. They opened a window into his soul that shows his true snobbish elitist self.

It's the economy stupid – remember that? It applies more than ever in today's world. If you want more of the same – higher gas prices, higher unemployment, higher prices at the grocery store, more mortgage foreclosures, and a president who's out of touch with the reality and never had to worry about making ends meet, then vote for John McCain. Virginians are smarter than that.
If you want true change from the last 7 years, vote for Obama.

Veepstakes ...

Consider Senator Jim Webb of Virginia (another 2004 red state) and a Vietnam Vet.

He also served as Secretary of the Navy would help in rural & southern areas given their higher value of displays of patriotism and could help bring North Carolina and Georgia into play … particularly with the large number of unregistered Democratic voters (over 600,000) in Georgia.

He trumps any McCain claim to the POW sympathy vote.

Obama/Warner 08

That's the winning ticket!

I really hate the fact that most Clinton supports say Obama "stole" the election, I do believe he had 18 million vote for him as well, i believe if you vote for Mccain in hopes of Clinton to return in 4 years ask yourself this how many American lives can you live with coming home in body bags over that time?

When is the first Debate???
I need to have my champagne on ice!
McSame will blow his top and Obama will show what a gentleman his truly is.

Obama beat Clinton and you think McSame will beat Obama??
Hahaha – now that's FUNNY !!

leon, so what racist things did Obama do ???? most of the hate here comes from the republicans trying to make us fight against ourself, instead of McCain... and what values do we have that he don't have ?? he is after all a Christian like most of us, he was born American, like most of us, went to school here like most of us. he did most of the things most of us do here... work, school, living, education and the list goes on...

Tell me where Clinton and Obama differ in politics... vs where do McCain and Clinton become the same...

Oh YES WE CAN!

Watch Obama rewrite the electoral map this year...

Not Just Virginia... Watch him win

Indiana
Nebraska
New Mexico
Colorado
Ohio
Kansas (50-50 chance)
North Carolina
Georgia (yes indeed)...

I'm predicting a blowout in this year's election...

Sorry McBush... we cannot extend this misery for another 4years whilst we watch China and India emerge as world superpowers while we waste $Trillions on senseless middle-east wars...

As a resident of VA, I will certainly not be voting for Obama. Nor will I be voting for McCain. Neither is anything approaching a viable candidate.

YES WE CAN

Obama is definitely different from the others politicians. Let's give him a real chance for change. He is a clean politician, isn't he? Why not believe in his honesty and in the hope that he brings with him?

Obama'08

Obama "WILL" win Virginia. UNITY '08

Woman voters (Hillary supporters) please do not show ignorance and vote for McCain.

Your hurt feelings will go away. But you vote will last. And the last thing you need is to be set back by the Republicans.

McCain voted against a bill to give women equal pay in the work force. He will also appoint Supreme Court Justices that will overturn Roe v. Wade. Does this sound like someone who is looking out for women's issues?

If you answer Yes, then you deserve to have all the rights you have worked so long and hard for TAKEN AWAY. And you will have only yourself's to blame.

The Republican Party is no longer the 'Conservative' Party. They are and have been the government, and an incredibly dysfunctional and corrupt government at that. They are not for limited government. They have lost their brand name. They will be voted out in a landslide and then the democrats will come in and tax and spend and create meaningless and ineffectual bureaucracy and then, after the Obama presidencies we will get another 40 years of Republicans who will come in as the 'outsider', 'anti-big government' party. A fool and their money are soon parted, a fool and their government have just two parties.

I wonder how John McCain will be able to debate Obama without a teleprompter. McCain can't hear, see and stumbles when reading the teleprompter and I'm sure he will display anger fits in a debate with Obama.

Hillary Clinton is nothing more than a 'undercover repub' glad she is out of the race.

Everybody go to the Wall Street Journal and read the article that Bill Cosby wrote about Obama making a great analysis of the candidate and the African American Community and how he believes that Obama's church plays an important role in defining Obama's political and social believes

Obama is already a winner; just look where Hillary is now.

Veterans are NOT voting for McSame. They want and DESERVE respect and this warmonger is not going to give it to them. Besides he is a homewrecker with an ex pill popping, pill stealing wife. Educate yourselves people!

Lov ely in Southwest

You are the one forgeting that whar goes around comes around. You spreaded your hate and demonized Hillary following the cynic behavior of Obama and his campaign now it is back at you. We will not vote for Obama not because we hate him like you guys do with Hillary it is because he does not represent our values and believes. We do not think that Obama is a new kind of politician he is the most divisive and racist candidate we have had in the last 40 years. read Bill Cosby Article on Wall Street Journal for a real analysis of who Obama is.

You bet we can!! Obama 08!!!

Of course the Democrats will say they have a great chance to win in Virginia. I give about as much credence to that crap as I do to waiting for Obama to make his announcement that Dennis Kucinich will be his running mate this fall. Not likely.

This patriotic Virginian will be proudly voting for Obama in November.

A few years ago the GOP had a stranglehold on this state, but with it came a falling into insanity and a backwards thinking agenda. The democratic party swooped in, lead by people like Mark Warner, Tim Kaine etc, with new, inclusive ideas and that, along with a migration of outsiders into our fair state have turned our state purple. Not only does Obama, w/ his message have a great shot here, but with Mark Warner on the ballot as well, it should help even more. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Maybe Obama can win Virginia, but he cant win West Virginia

Hillary Supporters and the rest of the Nation we are not supporting Obama.

Obama is a clear representation of the vulgar and corrupted school of politics from Chicago. He is constantly changing his positions and fli-flop in important issued like his relationship with his Church and his Foreign Affairs Policies.

A vote for Obama is a move from the extreme Right to the extreme Left. He is divise, cynic, racist.

Hillary Supporters do not vote for Obama. Stay home or write on her name

MCCAIN FOR HEROISM , EXPERIENCE , FOREIGN POLICY AND NATIONAL SECURITY.

OBAMA WITHOUT HILLARY CLINTON AS VP RUNNING MATE:
CERTAIN DEFEAT IN NOVEMBER.
OBAMA IS ON THE VERGE OF IGNORING HILLLARY'S 17 MILLION SUPPORTERS. THAT IS AS FOOLISH AS ANYBODY CAN GET.

RONALD REAGAN CHOSE THE ELDER BUSH

JFK CHOSE LYNDON JHONSON BOTH OF THEM THEIR OPPONENTS IN THE PRIMARIES..

OBAMA /CLINTON THATS IT PERIOD!!!!! 2008

Anyone with half a brain knows that if you vote for McSame the Big Oil companies will have gas at $7 to $8 dollars a gallon. In Ca. gas already is $4.69>$4.79>$4.89 with diesal @ $5.49 per gallon. Just think about those numbers and ask yourself "If your are being paid min.wage. How many hours per day do you work just support you commute?

With the economy in the toilet don't we deserve CHANGE?

Let's give someone new a chance, someone who wants Change...real Change.

Obama Not McSame in 08.

DUMBEST IDEA EVER:

I doubt it. Surely there's enough PATRIOTIC citizens there to prevent that from happening.

I agree with Stacy on this one:
Hillary supporters: do not disrespect Hillary by chosing a candidate that will SURELY TAKE AWAY WOMEN'S RIGHTS!!!!!!

Many Red states will sure go blue this fall....there is no question about that........People 're suffering in both blue and red states....MCSAME is a contiunation of Bushes stupidity............

Clinton Supporter –
Remember : What goes around, comes around. You're going to need us Obama supporters one day (2016) so you better think long and HARD about what you're doing. Barack won FAIR and square and his policies are 95% of Hill's policies. Don't be stupid.

If you love Hillary so much then why didn't you support her financially. Stop whining and help her where she needs you most. You can't help her with the primary, its over. You can't make Obama choose her as VP but you can help get her out of debt. If not what good are you.

Mark Cross – Go to barackobama.com and educate yourself on Obama's many accomplishments. Stop looking stupid by saying he has done nothing.

And Hill Supporters – we Obama supporters are bending over backwards to appease you all, athough it does grate on my last nerve because of your candidate's ruthless tactics, and you're threathening to vote MCSame. Well, when Hillary runs again, and you know she will, you better hope you all have the backing of the Obama supporters or else you're going to be crying AGAIN. Stop being babies, grow one and do what's right.

Vote for Obama! Let's restore Clinton on Ballot! All you Hillary die hards please join me to ensure Clinton get's on the ballot and help take Obama to the top spot. All you clowns who believe that by withholding your vote because Hilary is not on the ticket are special ed kids for sure. What makes anyone think by crossing the party lines will affect make you better off. If you are for a true Democratic then it doesn't matter who is on the tickets, it's the principles they standby as a party, so all you fools who claim to not know what Obama is about or don't know much about his policies than google up the info. If you can blog all day then you can research. Go ahead and prove McCain right and his stealth organization by infiltrating a party that has a long history of representing the average joe and not the republican guard. If you care about yourself and your future, then put your petty grievances aside and reach out to the nearest Obama campaign offices and help bring change or provide valuable input to restore much needed faith into the party. Do not fall victim to the Republican propaganda. MCCAIN4PREZ based on his organizational efforts to derail what used to be sensible and reasonable Democratics.

I think this state might be a toss up and Obama my carry it.

Liar, Liar is tired of the 50 stars, and thinks the hammer and sickle would look good there instead.

Vote how you want, but don't be surprised if you vote Obama because you don't like Bush, and wind up with Chavez.

This religious, gun-totin hillbilly (with his two postgraduate degrees) predicts it (and will profit from it while you pay for it).

But, hey, your choice. And if you want any guidance on life under Obama, ask a former Cuban or Venezuelan.

You Hillary supporters are really dumb. If Obama doesn't win because Dems stay home, vote for McCain or write in Hillary, you better bet she won't win in 2012. We will make sure of it. What goes around comes around, haven't you people learned that yet. Its the nasty tactics that made her lose the primary. Hopefully Hillary has learned and better tell her people if they want her to have a shot of winning in 2012 they better vote for Obama because for the simple fact that he is the Nominee and he's a Dem.

The Championship baby!!!! Still got a lot of time left....

With the help of the two Senators of that state, he can and he will win WVA...hahahaha!

Age-ism is as bad as racism. Why do Democrats call Republicans the 'party of hate' all you need to do is read the posts on this site. Who hates more?! Glad I left the Democratic Party in 1992...I have never looked back – no regrets.

I could have told you that back in January..
YES, OBAMA WILL TAKE VIRGINIA. I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SEE IT HAPPEN.

My father is an army vet, 67yr old, white from SW Virginia. Always been repub. He shocked me the other day by saying he was voting Obama, I about fell out of my chair. He said 'I know he's a good man'. I almost cried. If he is voting Obama, I have no question that the rest of his buddies will. He said McSame is an opportunist and is only interested in warmongering, not the people.

OH YES WE WILL !!!!

Junction VA--- I'd rather have a gang infested city than a lobbyist infexted DC ANYDAY!! Wake up you moron!!

OBAMA CAN WIN VIRIGINA..

HAHAHAHAHAHA

THAT WAS FUNNY

Republicans get ready for a landslide victory You have been winning by small margins for the past few years BUT NOT THIS TIME! your polls do not tell the strory of a true vote because the votes that will win the next election are not polled. ITS OUR TIME!!

@clinton supporter.

I am not sure, anybody calling himself or herself clinton supporter will vote for McCain. This is coming from a republican, as common sense does not make it possible for such things to happen.

Divide and conquer. You Democrats will be beaten by the same strategy you always have. Six months to unite or else suffer through four more years of irresponsible republican rule. $6.00 a gallon for gasoline sound good? I hope thousands more American military deaths in Iraq will make you happy. It's your choice.

You say that McCain is a warmonger, well, I have news for you......

THEY ALL ARE

The only difference is that Obama plans to divert the operations from Iraq to Afghanistan and Pakistan....

McCain...from Iraq to Iran.....

These elections are contrived....NOBODY GETS THIS MUCH MEDIA ATTENTION IF THEY ARE TRULY WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE!!!

Remember the Ron Paul blackout...someone with substance....

It is all in the packaging folks...Don't believe the lies or the promise of HOPE....

Do you wonder why every cable news organization has McCain as losing in polls right now..Propaganda...REMEMBER...he's the comeback kid!
And Obama...the same people that put him up there will take him down....wait.....

Change is what comes out of a slot machine after you've lost $100....

Look no further to "Beltway Insider" if you want proof. My guess is that Beltway works for government or in education, and has never held down a private sector job.

When America sees the huge differences in the vision for this country being offered by these two candidates, I think every state is in play!

Clearly, you all don't get it. We supported Hillary because of her well thought solutions – we don't blindly worship famous people-that would be you.

If her ideas and solutions have been rejected, we will go elsewhere.

We won't be voting for Obama because Hillary tells us to. I know YOU do as you're told, but there really are some people who think out there.

Not your cup of tea, I know..

There is no groundswell in Virginia. Basically, it will be up to the Dems to mobilize minorities in Richmond and government/academic types in NoVA versus the remainder of the state, which is right of center. This is basically how the dems won VA and how they keep PA (by getting Philly and Pittsburgh and foresaking the rest of the state).

Will be interesting to see if the private sector (tech, bio, defense) and military come out for McCain enough to offset the minority/academic bloc. Will be the people who want to keep thier jobs versus those with either (1) no jobs or (2) jobs for life.

You people are something . You still think that there are 2 candidates in this race . Those 2 are members of the CFR and Friends of Israel . Everything that is happening in the Middle East is because of that little state . Do you like sending billions of your dollars all over the world and getting nothing in return ? Why doesn't the MSM ever mention that there are 2 other candidates running for President that can get this country turned around ? Because they absolutely don't want you to know that these 2 men will actually bring about the change that this country desperately needs after the current crooks tried and are succeeding in destroying us .The only intelligent vote is either Ron Paul or the Libertarian Bob Barr . Do a little research , don't bother listening to the MSM , they are holding this country back !

I have a Question for all of you saying McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Do we Have troops in Germany? What happened after we liberated Afghanistan from the USSR and pulled all troops and support from that country?

"Ma & Pa": Fortunately, there are now more of us educated, well-employed, 'liberals' than you "Gun Toting, Religious hillbillys" in Virginia.

Obama will go for Virginia.

I've never voted in my life. I finally have a reason to.

OBAMA '08

To those who think VA will go for Obama – keep in mind that Virginia had a long history of Democratic governors...from before 1964 (the last time VA went Dem.) through to 1993...all those years VA went Republican in the Presidential election. The last three governors were Democrat – BUT they basically ran as moderate Republicans and had to govern as moderate Republicans to get anything accomplished. Jim Webb did not win the Senate race in 2006 – George Allen lost the race because he did not always think before he spoke. Right now – Obama is riding the crest of popularity – McCain holds an 8-point lead in most Virginia polls. After his bump this coming August (after the Dem. Convention) Obama will begin to slowly slide back in the polls as people take a serious look at what he's done (actually what he has not done) in the U.S. Senate...remember Michael Dukakis??? From a 20+ point lead in August to a landlside loss in November....

No country for old men!

Obama's victory has numerous implications, and things are going to change right from America to all corners of the world. In America, it is now clear and known by most people that Republicans actually do not have anything good to offer, but have enjoyed so many years of dirty politics and tricks.

If Obama is not able to win in the general elections, we do not have to blame him. McCain can only win when people decide to vote by color and not by depending on one's intelligence and the message they have for the people.

Obama has changed the way politics is going to be played in America forever. Even if he is not able to win because he is black, his influence will remain in American politics and generations to come will start talking about common sense and to address real issues instead of following the same the old dirty politics of the Republican party that have left many people poor in America.

How on earth can a country like America continue to have many of their citizens deprived of simple health care? This, in fact, is very shameful, and Republicans are to be blamed for this situation as they have run the white house more than the Democrats in the History of America. This should be a challenge to the people of America to throw the Repulican party out of the white house, and to give Obama, a man with clear vision, to steer the affairs of America in the coming years.

God bless Obama!
God bless the Democratic Party!
God bless America!

Hail to the cheif........The 44th President of the US of A and thats'

Mads June 9th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

let us defeat OBAMA. Vote for McCain, give him 4 years, and BRING HILLARY BACK WITH HER 18 million voters and more!!!

Let us go McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT FOR HILLARY IN 2012.
==================================

I will second that as will MILLIONS of others!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry but to the people who think that Obama supporters will run to Hillary in 2012...is outrageous...If Obama doesn't win..who do you think is gonna take the blunt of the blame...Hillary Clinton will be lucky if she can even win a reelection of her senate seat

Obama does not need to "win over Hillary supporters". Latinos were supporting Hillary, they now support Obama so you cannot go by the numbers from the primary. Hillary won California in the primary, now California is for Obama. The 18 million is a thing of the past. Those that hold out will not make a difference.

People want change! The Hillary supporters who vote for McCain aren't Democrats anymore. They support a Republican so they should be referred to as Republican.

That's okay. We Obama supporters will help Hillary. We will throw our arms around her because that's just what we do. We unite. Don't get me wrong, we are fighters and will kick your butt. But when the fight is over and your a Democrat, we embrace you. That's just how we are.

But to the "New Republicans", we will kick your butts again....because we are true DEMOCRATS

No way .. no how ... not ever. I can't reward someone for the unfair practices he did and said as a primary candidate. What you see is what you get and I haven't seen much except someone who is arrogant and feels he is entitled to all democrate votes. Just because a voter is a dem.. doesn't mean they can't think and chose for themselves. The supporters of Senator Obama are just as bad. I have a dream and it is McCain in the White House.

Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

obama cannot win..............all hillary voters.........vote mccain.obama is a lier.

How come mccain never wear white shirt?

Will all the real democrats please stand up…. For the “FAKE” democratic supporters please stand down. Anytime someone decides to vote on the other side of the aisle for Republican, they are not true democrats. Hillary and John McCain ideas are totally different in every way shape and form. Speaking as a white woman who was a Hillary supporter, I agree with Hillary to move forward and unite the party. So for all of you that want to vote as “Independents” or as republicans this year, I say go for it- YOU WILL ONLY BE HURTING YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE.

OBAMA 08- OUR NEXT PRESIDENT FOR REAL DEMOCRATS

@Rabid Shrillary Cultist.....please tell me exactly why Barack Obama has 'No business' being president. That's definitely a strange way to put it....but that kind of language definitely sounds familiar.

Don't count on Virginia, Barack. Just because the media & the DNC were so quick to jump on the train of "I'm so enlightened that I'm going to vote for a black man" instead of actually looking at the qualifications & abilities of the Democratic candidates doesn't mean that EVERYBODY is equally as shallow & stupid.
I don't give a flip if the candidate is male, female, black, white, pink purple or green.... what I DO care about is which candidate is the best qualified to fulfill the position and where the candidate stands on the issues that are important to me.
Barack Obama appears to be a very likeable person with a lot of potential... but he isn't ready to lead this country as president. He's definitely a step up from the current White House occupant, GWB, but notice I don't identify GWB as presidentially qualified either... just as "occupant".
I think a lot of people are going to be deeply surprised with the November outcome because I don't think Obama can win this election. The Republics will over power him simply because he isn't tough enough or ready enough for this election. And then we can look forward to 4 years of what??????????????
And just so you don't think I'm some disgruntled Clinton supporter... I don't think the GOP picked the right candidate either. But I do think he is going to prove stronger than Obama as the campaign gets into full swing.
By the way, I am female; I am bi-racia;, I am married; I am college educated; I am very gainfully employed; and I've lived in Chicago most of my adult life.

I believe. For those of you on the blog saying such mean things. I learned a long time ago if you decide something with an open heart – you usually make the right decision.

Obama can't connect with the Hillary supporters. He ignored us once and just now when he needs us he comes a courting. Change.. what Change.. except now he wants our votes and will say anything to get into the WH. Sure McCain is not much of a choice but the Obamaites can't give Senator Clinton nor her supporters any respect. So why should we respect you? Voters have choices and just being on one party doesn't mean you automatically get the vote. How many Obama people said on blogs that if Senator Clinton got the nomination that they would not vote for her. So what is the difference? Our families, friends and aquaintances won't vote for him. The only way.. if Senator Clinton is on the ticket. Yet .. why would she when she can start raising money for 2012's race against McCain?

Go McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HRC supporters,
Sen. Clinton is a patriot, a visionary, and a hero. She fought hard during this primary, and has advanced the cause of progressive Americans immeasurably. However, to abandon Sen. Obama in the wake of her exit is to forsake everything she and the Democratic Party stand for. You cannot believe in universal health care, women’s rights, civil rights, protecting our troops, fair taxes, and a strong economy for working Americans and vote for John McCain. He is diametrically opposed to HRC’s entire platform. Honor her legacy and her battle and help elect Sen. Obama. Don’t let petty politics and desperate Republicans shadow the ideals and values you know to be true.

By the same logic McCain will win California because it has a republican governor.

I am so excited. The general election is finally underway. HRC supporters are STILL trying to be relevant, but nobody cares. HRC will work her heart out for Obama just like she said she would. Unlike her supporters, she's smart enough to realize that her speech is only going to reach those of her supporters that are INTELLIGENT, OPEN-MINDED AND LOYAL Democrats. Fortunately, that equals a majoirty of her supporters. The rest of you weren't going to vote Obama anyway, so you are IRRELEVANT.

Obama is on his way to the White House!!!!! Like it or not. He, his campaign, and his supporters WILL blast through all the obstacles that are sure to be thrown in their path. It will be a rough road, but in the end BARACK WILL PREVAIL.

The Obama haters are going to be eating their words in November. It's going to be so sweet!

Will the real democrats please stand up. For all the "FAKE"

Yeah let her supporters continue with those crazy remarks about voting for mcsame guess what democrat those where the ones that rush sent out anyway they cast their vote but they did not send money to help her. there is no way with all the supporters she had for her to be in so muc debt.

Think people rush told them to vote for her because mcsame had the nod already so when they tell that they are former hill supporters they are lying they were part of this mess and this is why she is in so much debt because her campaing did not factor in what the republicans did

They thought these votes were true democrats when the were true repubs so lets not take seriously what her former repub voters post out here they are fake

and for all the real repub your candidate is weak and too old to run this country he will do what they all did run it straight into the ground

OBAMA 08

Mr. Obama should win every state. I know its been almost 20 years but have people forgotten McCain was one of the Keating 5.. He was a thief and a liar then and he's a thief and a liar now..

I understand that the senate subcommittee of the commerce dept. has said that if you eliminated all of the speculation on oil, you would decrease the price of oil by 25%. So what is congress going to do about speculation? And is Dubai at the front of this issue?

In listening to Sen. Obama and his surrogates, one invariably hears that John McCain is indistinguishable from Pres. Bush and that he supports a hundred years' war in Iraq. One would think that Team Obama could make their case without resorting to such underhanded tactics. But, then again, perhaps they can't.

Citizens for McCain '08

@Nto in TX
GOOD FOR YOU!

you put it perfectly. I would encourage Republicans, Independents and Hillary supporters to take a step back and think about what you want for the next 4 years. Ask yourself if you are better off today than 4 years ago; than 8 years ago. Well? Are you? If you answer yes, then I salute you - you are the minority. If you, like millions of us, aren't, then I sympathize and say....

No third Bush term! Whomever Obama picks for VP, I will support him, because he is 180 degrees opposite of McWar

NO:
McBush, McWar, McTooOld, McOldPolitics, McElitist, McRichWife, McPhoney, McLiar, McKeating5, McLobbiests

It's funny/sad to hear these HRC supporters rant about the DNC..the media...anybody an everybody shoving Obama down their throats. She was so busy planning her CORONATION ball that she took her eye of the ball...winning! Go ahead an vote McSame...another 4 years of the Bush disasterous policys and you'll really have something to WHINE about next election....FOOLS!

Virginia is definitely in play! Other thought to be red states are also vulnerable this election...WHY? Because everyone is tired, and tired of being tired. Still we democrats have a lot of work to do. I wrote Senator Clinton a thank you note. I wish we all would...Unity is the key to our victory in the fall.

let us defeat OBAMA. Vote for McCain, give him 4 years, and BRING HILLARY BACK WITH HER 18 million voters and more!!!

Let us go McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT FOR HILLARY IN 2012.

If Obama loses the election, 75% of his supporters will not vote for Hillary in any election, including her senate seat in N.Y. You can take that to the bank.

It amazes me how people keep talking about supporting McCain because Hilliary didn't win. By 2012, how much poorer will you be. How can women support a man who left his first wife after an automobile accident for a younger woman and the sad part about it is some of you call yourself feminist. Vote McCain, loose your house, pay 10.00 a gallon for gas, don't send your children or grandchildren to college. They can always get a job in the military and die in a country that we shouldn't be in. This show how smart you are and remember, while you are doing this, it will not hurt Obama. He and his wife are well educated and will continue to make a decent living.

John "No New Taxes" McBush. To anyone out there who is tempted to vote for this guy, please ask yourself this: if we continue to elect the same old white guys into power that we always vote into power, how can we reasonably expect anything to change in this country? McCain is proposing an extension of the Bush reign. Please vote for Obama. Obama wants a chance to change things for the better in our country. Let's try something new to yield new results. That makes more sense to me.

I'M JUST SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE CLINTON'S SUPPORTERS CLAIMING THAT THEY WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER 08.YOUR DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY IT JUST GO AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND WHILE YOU ARE DOING THAT WHY DON'T YOUR TAKE YOUR DUMB, STUPID AND IDIOTS WAY OF THINKING AND GO LIVE WITH HIM. CAUSE TRUE TO BE TOLD NOBODY WANT YOU ANYWAY BUNCH OF SLOW THINKERS.

OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE USA IN 08 YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT

The movement is on....Not Only is Obama the target...but those like Kerry that voted against their states will also be the target of those 18 million people that have been cheated by the DNC and media!!!!!!!!!

If Hillary supporters vote for McCain you better pray and hope that the country is not in financial crisis...by the time you reach 2012...its not a football team you are routing for, it's your country, your life...get it together.

Woot, he gains Virginia! That'll make up for the 70 electoral votes he lost having alienated Florida, Michigan ("your votes don't count") and Ohio and Pennsylvania. ("you didn't vote for Obama, therefore you're racist")

I'm moving to Missouri this summer and will begin to earnestly campaign there for Obama. We will carry Missouri for him this year.

Get involved. Donate a tiny amount – even $5 helps, even if it goes to pay off Hillary's debt. For everyone who wonders why Obama had so much money during the primary... it's the little people (you and I) who made it happen.

I donated 8 times, never over $25 this year. All those $5, $10, $15, $20 & $25 donations eventually make a $1,000,000.00

Every time McWar opens his silly grin, bumbling old trap, I'll go donate another $5 or $10 - I can give up a latte, a trip to the store, whatever. It's important to me, my children and my grandchildren that this cranky old man who is stuck in Vietnam NEVER gets a chance to impact my life. I can do something about it and I will.

Yes, I CAN.

LOL, Obama isn't going to win anything in November...he will be LUCKY to take the state of IL!!!!

SANAA...we don't care who you blame in November for Obama losing....the fact is...he is a SELECTED candidate and not an ELECTED candidate!!!

DNC...it is your bed...you made it...you lie in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The DNC will fall along with Obama...Hope Donna has a nice job lined up with CNN..she will need it.

This poor economic recession will eventually change everyone's hearts in favor of Obama. It all comes down to the $$$$$.

And yes, even those bitter Clinton junkies will change. They don't want to be labeled "hypocrites" and "traitors" when the moment of truth arrives in November.

Yes, and McCain can also win California for the same reasons of having a governor of the same party. Great analysis CNN! You're really earning your money!

They will NOT Vote for 95% of Bush, like McBush has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all what I went through during the climax of the war, I am voting for anybody who is not affliated with Military or any closer to wars.

Thank God I have a clear choice, thank God for giving me Obama at the right time and the right person.

John McCain will win the fall election because he is a hero and he has a good stance on national security. Typical bitter americans that supported Hillary will vote for McCain.

Obama will not gain any more votes. His entire campaign was based on uniting people who hate Hillary. Now that she's out of the race he has nothing else to run on.

I think you are totally out of touch with the voters if you think this!

Remember in the General Election you don't get to stand behind someone and tell them how to vote!

Conservative, Patriot voting for McCain with pride!

McCain 08

So... McCain has problems with evangelicals... who will then completely lose their mind and morals and vote for the liberal-most member of the senate instead? Yes. That'll be the day!

NO WE CAN'T.........................McCain for real president....................
you Obama fans, give it up.....................................cheap talk

The first of many states to turn color this year. I bet my bottom dollar. Which, with the gas prices, is also my top dollar.

Hey Ann,
McSame has voted 95% with Bush, he has Bush's tax policies, his Energy policy, and 95% of Bush's economic policy. Of that's not inline with Bush, then I don't know what is.

McSame may have been a maverick when he had no intention of running for the office, (no pressure to deliver). But now, he has most of the Bush's failed policies.

I don't understand McSame. He knows they have failed, he knows that most likely the current economic policies will fail. But he hangs on to them anyway.
He has no clue how to run the economy.

Jim Webb could help Barack easily win Virginia. He's a war veteran that brings a lot to the ticket and doesn't have the Hillary Clinton baggage. (I totally agree with him, women should not be fighting in wars). If they force Barack to pick Hillary as the VP I'll be very disappointed in this country.

Well...should be interesting....McCain is LEADING in the polls in FL, WV, KY, NV, AZ, NM, UT, WY, CT, NH, and is in a tie in CA, OH and MI.

For an eye opener, you may want to visit the RNC website on facts about Obama. They have verified every source....one would only be glad if the news media reported in the same fashion.....

Funny...now that Clinton is out, I don't really care who becomes Pres. I don't believe I can actually trust Obama (because of his relationship with REZKO and his State and US Senate record)...and McCain, I disagree with...

I cannot for the life of me why Hillarys supporters are being so stuborn now, saying they will vote for Mccain dont they realize they will be getting a 3rd Bush term. I think they better wake up and smell the roses

Hillary or McCain. I'll vote for a democratic congress and swing over to McCain for the preseidency.

You bet Obama will carry Virginia! I am a Regent Grad. (Pat Roberson's school), and I am not only supporting Obama BUT working hard for his campaign.
It is so amazing that McCain has dissed evangelicals but not Obama. Obama actually came to my church and spoke back in 2006, here in Virginia.
And let me tell you we Christians are NOT excited about McCain ESPECIALLY since he has recently turned down an invitation to meet with Billy Graham!

I am a Clinton Supporter and will vote for McCain. I am voting based on the candidate, not the party, and I will NEVER consider Barack Obama, even if he chooses Hillary(which I doubt)as his VP.

As a Hillary supporter, I have been accused of racism; being ignorant and a fool by the supporters of obama. I will never vote for him and I hope that Virginia doesn't either. Let him go down in flames and disappear back into the wards of Chicago. A divided governement, repug president and democratic congress, is preferable to obama being president.

Obama can win a lot more states than Virginia as long as Mcthuselah keeps talking ... the man is an idiot without a clue!

He was WRONG on Vietnam ... WRONG on Iraq ... WRONG on the tax cut for the wealthy and WRONG FOR AMERICA in the 21st Century!

Hey Typical White Person – If mcwar gets in office you won't have a country left to vote in. Voting will be the least of your problems, you'll be trying to survive.

I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! Some liberal that can't control a gang infested neighborhood in Chicago and he wants to be able to control Iran? What a laugh, name one accomplishment this man has done other than graduate from a manner or elegant speaking mailorder seminar.

Seems like these days Obama can do anything. Soon he may become the first African American Jesus of America. Then his supporters will say he can walk on the water too.

This is what happened when people just go after a person merely for the hype. He is charismatic and a impressive speaker. People are mezmerised by him. Specially the young people. That does not mean he can resurrect this country from this economic grave yard.

I am not saying he can not bring change. But that change he talks about will need a one heck of a leadership and I wish he has it.

FEAR -----> McCain<-----FEAR

Here some republicans write comments as Clinotn supporters. hey ruplican guys, no one can save you this time. it will be landslide victory for democrats.

SORRY "TYPICAL WHITE PERSON" IF OBAMA DOESN'T WIN IN NOV YOU CAN BEST BELIEVE HILLARY AND HER CULY MEMBERS WILL BE BLAMED FOR IT. SO IF YOU GUYS ARE COUNTING ON 2012 YOU BETTER COUNT AGAIN....................

OBAMA 08

Typical White Person June 9th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Clinton supporters vote for McCain. Hillary will be back in 2012.
##################################################

Those who are not typical like Obama's grandmother are voting for Obama Hillary mislead 18million People lying to them she is winning popular vote. If you were not lied to enough by Bush then continue being bitter typical white person~!

cry babies of america grow up and listen to what obama is saying . it is the same as what hillary has said and stands for. vote obama and save america.

This is far more realistic than the McCain camp's cries of California being in play. Good luck with that one, guys.

AMERICA ! HOW IS IT WORKING FOR YOU?

NOT WORKING TOO GOOD FOR MOST OF US.

ASK YOURSELVES WHICH OF THESE TWO

CANDIDATES IS MORE INTELLIGENT. IF RACE

IS A FACTOR & I AM SURE IT IS FOR SOME, ASK

YOURSELVES, IF YOUR CHILD NEEDED BRAIN

SURGERY, WOULD YOU USE A SURGEON WHO

HAS PROVEN HIS INCOMPETENCE, OR ONE WHO

HAS PROVEN HIS COMPETENCE, BUT IS

PART AFRICAN-AMERICAN? FOLKS LETS NOT GO

DOWN THE ROAD OF HATE & STUPID AGAIN.

WE NEED THIS SHIP AMERICA TO TURN AROUND.

WE CAN'T CONTINUE THE SAME PATH & EXPECT

A DIFFERENT RESULT.

A VOTE FOR OBAMA = A VOTE FOR JERIMIAH WRIGHT, TONY REZKO, WILLIAM AYERS AND FATHER PFLAEGER.
DO YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE IN OUR WHITE HOUSE BECUASE THAT’S WHERE THEY WILL BE IF YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA.
HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE PEOPLE SHOW HIS VERY BAD JUDGEMENT.
SAY NO TO OBAMA

If the reconstruction era in America showed anything, it is that Obama has legitmate shots at Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. All of the aforementioned states are in play. The key is turnout amongst the Democratic party, especially African Americans.

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!

Hillary supporters: do not disrespect Hillary by chosing a candidate that will SURELY TAKE AWAY WOMEN'S RIGHTS!!!!!!

Ma & Pa June 9th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

In your dreams CNN. Us Gun Toting, Religious hillbillys would not vote for Obama if he was the only candidate on the ballot. We love our country and we trust McCain to keep America Free.

McCain 08.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I live in MA. I am 60 years old white woman and all my family is voting for Obama.

i live in washington,dc! And you better believe Virgina will turn blue!!! Sorry republicans this is not a good year for you! I would like a mccain supporter to please tell me how mccain can/will better your life in this country...this should be interesting!! LOL

Yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, as reported, UNLESS Obama picks Clinton as VP..he will NOT get my vote and I will stay home. I can not stonach how the Democratic Party has handled this electionprocess and how we had Obama shoved down our throats.
I was under the impression we had a choice but that was takeb away from us when the black population of this country voted on race alone, not qualities or abilities to lead.
Obama is NOT the man we need in the White House, but theDemocratic Party chose to ignore us and now, WE will make the decison NOT to back a racist!

Counting on the electoral College, sounds like Obama thinks there super delegates also, No wonder he kept Dean!

I am 71 years old Proffessor and John Mccain is too old to lead this country. We can not afford to elect someone with mountains of health problems that he has.

Of course he can. Over 350,000 jobs lost since january, over 4,500 soldiers killed in a senseless war, over 1 million homes in foreclosure, the world hates us, gas is at $4 a gallon and rising daily, we can't afford another repub in office especially a man who admits "I know very little about economic issues."

Alotta Repubs just postin to stir the pot...

Anyways, Virigina can be taken by the Dems but it's gonna take some work. And knowlege that there are just post of Virginia that are not gonna vote for Obama because he is black. That won't change this year or in the next 10 years.

MA & PA don't sound religious if you are toting guns and exhibit symptoms of hate!

When people really open their minds to reason this out Obama will win this entire nation.

People especially po, poor and middle income it is past time for you all to reason this thing out the REPUBLICAN PARTY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! THE ONLY PLACE FOR YOU IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S PLAN IS A TAX PAYER AND TO KEEP THE ONES BENEFITING RICHER!!!

Of all things politics it never cease to amaze me how so many non rich and I do not mean well off, but rich have been hoodwinked into believing in the policies of the Republican, there are families that have been dirt po for generations that will die for this party. I have come to the conclusion that they must be too uneducated to know better. This party plays on the weaker mind to incite their fears of war and religious beliefs when the truth of the matter is this party is the one that goes around seeking whom they may destroy with war and poverty, they peddle religion around every four years as if they are the keepers of God's word when in fact they do more that goes against it so as treat your neighbor as you would have them treat you. They pander being against abortions, well so am I and most Democrats, but we know that the president does NOT have the right to determine this, this is proven this term.Bush got in on this issues, but look what has been done about it. NOTHING! Bush got in using the issue of gay marriages, but what has been done with that, MORE GAY MARRIAGES THAN BEFORE, each state decide for themselves AND it was Republican leaders in these states that voted to allow them.

PEOPLE WAKE UP! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A LYING GROUP OF RICH PEOPLE LOOKING TO GET RICHER AT THE EXPENSE OF NON RICH! PLEASE STOP BEING FOOLISH!

Virginia is very well in play for the Dems Electoral college.

Go Obama go.

Obama/ Webb 08&12

GOOD LUCK YOU MAY WIN VIRGINIA, BUT I DO NOT NO ABOUT MINNESOTA AS I DEM A LOT OF CLINTON BACKERS LIKE MY MOM AND DAD WILL BE MAD AS IT GET IF CLINTON IS NOT THE VP . WE WERE 2 TO 3 % FOR KERRY IN 2004 IT COULD GO TO McCAIN . I HOPE NOT

If he picks Hillary for VP, they can win a lot of states!! And beat McCain!!

Obama/Hillary!!

Obama can and will cross party lines for a functional government. One that the U.S. has not seen in years.

Democrats and Republicans unite for Obama!

Vig June 9th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

CNN and the rest of the "spin" media and the talking heads are promoting Obama as if he walks on water, can take state after state, will cure the ills of the world. This is dangerous – you are setting up unrealistic expectations – there are millions of Republicans, Independents and Hillary Clinton lovers who will not vote for Mr. Hype.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Obama worked hard for his nomination and will work hard to get elected!

Obama is very much overestimating his chances with we Virginia ladies!

WE, DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS ARE FIRST &

FOREMOST BROKE AMERICANS. WE WILL NOT

VOTE FOR THE CRAP POLICIES OF MAKING ALL

OF US POORER &THE RICH RICHER WITH OUR

MONEY & INDEFINITE WAR.

Let's not get carried away...I think efforts of the campaign need to be focused on the traditional swing states (i.e. Florida, Ohio). I hate how they think Obama's campaign is going to break new ground in every facet. That's naive thinking. We don't need another McGovern general election stunt!

as the Little Bug sits and says I think I can, I think , I can, as is Obama winning in November! Reality Hello President McCain and bye bye to the Upside down Democratic Party!

Brought to you by a Hillary supporter that can not for the Best of the Country and the American way of Life support Obama!

I think if McCain panders to the illiterate (as Hillary did) – he will do very well....float that Obama is a muslim....and a racist...and a woman hater....and these dopes will repeat it again and again....in the end....its still a lie....just like Hillarys campaign....a dope will always be a dope

Clinton supporters vote for McCain. Hillary will be back in 2012.

I believe that with all of our help, Barack Obama will win the presidency. That includes Hillary, Obama-ites. I have been reading some very nasty comments ever since Barack become the official but not technical Democratic candidate towards Hillary. Comments loosely based on her gender (one or a few making reference to her not having the "emotional strength" to go it all the way), some based on past feelings on the Clintons, and some just based on the ego-maniacal tirades of the Obama followers.

This is a race that CAN ONLY be won if the democrats... all of us ... show restraint and show that we can work together. To that end, I believe that Obama MUST address sexism as he addressed race. He must ask his followers to restraint from the personal attacks on Hillary, it is the only way he will be able to get ALL of her followers to follow him.

She stepped up to the plate. Repeated several times to vote for Obama yet the Obama-ites still feel it necessary to knock her down. How is this any different, any change, from the Republicans.

Step up, Barack. Speak up.

If Hillary is on the Obama ticket maybe I would vote for him. But me and every democrat I know are all voting for McCain.

WE ARE NOT MENTALLY ILL TO VOTE FOR

FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH POLICY.

They read the policy differences and know who's gonna lead this country into a better place. OBAMA!!

Don't base your vote on GOP spin. Read up on your candidate, find out the facts. Experience my BIG TOE!!!

If everyone takes a look at the numbers. Obama can win several of the states that are considered RED STATES by definition because almost 50 % of all Republicans dont feel like McCain was the right person to nominate for the party. SO the Republicans have their own division in their own party.

The Democrats have their divison now, but I think in time Most will come around to reality. Recent polls say that 30% of all registered Republicans say that they will be looking at Obama as an alternatives to McCain this fall, because they are not pleased with Republicans choice of a nominee.

Obama/Clinton 2008

He looks so much presidential, jfk like. Just thinking....................

I will not vote for Hussein Obama. He is an arrogant black man who has no business being president. I don't care what Hillary says about supporting him – she has to say that.

I am a bitter, middle-aged crone who is racist, fearful, and spiteful. I have placed all the blame for my failures on men and minorities. I am also a spiteful b**ch to other women, including my so-called friends, but I tout my support of feminism and sister-hood whenever possible.

I don't base any of my political choices on any actual issues or positions, just on my immediate emotional response to my subconcious fears – that is why I so strongly hate and oppose Obama. He is young, black, and male – everything that I am not, and everything that I fear.

Dream, dream, dream, dream................................Liberals.......ahh, the "hopenosis" is alive and well.

Vote McCain or join the insane..........

Obama is a post turtle.....(look it up Liberals).

Comical

CNN, it is time to remove Hillary's name from your 'poll of polls'. We have a Democratic nominee, we now need to focus on Senators McCain and Obama with an eye towards the November election.

Good luck here in the Old Dominion, Obama. I won't be voting for you, however, after the clowns in the DNC railroaded my candidate. I will not reward them for their misdeeds.

I voted for him in the Potomac Primay and he will have my vote in November.

Navy Veterans in NORFOLK VA for OBAMA!!

Why not? Republicans have made a big mess of just about everything – time for change!

Yes we can and Yes we will!!! Lets go Dems!!!!!!

Old Man River won't win any states that have progressive, intelligent, hard working Americans who are looking for a change! He is already deluded thinking he will win in the places that Billary won....well he better have a lot of street money and work on his pandering techniques!

Obama '08

The vote in Va was rigged. All the supporters for Obama were Rush listeners and they wanted Obama to win. The religious right only went for Huckabee to knock out Mitt Romney. McCain will carry VA and the rest of the south.

Victory is our agains. Viva Bush. Viva McCain.

He can fly to Never Never Land too, but, I'm still not voting for him.

McCain '08

FYI Hillary Supporters,
I had a republican neighbor tell me this weekend that he and a gropu of his friends likes to go on this blog and portray himself as Hillary supporters that will never vote for Obama just to get other Hillary supporters to follow suit. He said it is his greatest joy to see how fast Hillary supporters will turn against their own party. He also stated that republicans would never do that. Just thought you should know…

Democrat 08

A Vote for Barrack Obama is a vote for Hillary Clinton because they support the same cause.
A vote for John McCain is a vote for a George Bush third term more wars, bad economy and more country will not want to deal with our country. If you were really a true Hillary suppoter that want a better America for this generation and the future generation you must vote Democratic this November. Please do yourself a good favor and vote for the Democratic nominee this coming November.
No hard feeling because Hillary has none against Barrack. We must put the Republican out of the white house.
As you can see, we are in a big reccession and that will get worse with a John McCain.

McCain 08

I fail to see how Obama can win over the bitter white folk now. Those that are against him now are probably going to remain against him. He comes across as so arrogant that others cant relate to him.

And he had better stop with the McCain taking on bush's policies. Its getting soooo boring to hear and we dislike you even more when you state these claims over and over again, no matter how many times McCain has laid out his policy plan and its not a replica of bush's....

of course he can because the WE want it. there is a new pardigm on the horizon and we're moving inexorably toward it.

there is an old saying, "The ones who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by those who are doing it."

change is occurring on many levels and in many sectors of society. the ball is rolling and there is is simply no stopping it.

onward. . .

In your dreams CNN. Us Gun Toting, Religious hillbillys would not vote for Obama if he was the only candidate on the ballot. We love our country and we trust McCain to keep America Free.

McCain 08.

As a Virginia resident, I can't wait until November to cast my vote for Obama. For the last three elections, since I've been a voter, Democrats have failed to carry the state, although we've had many Democratic Governors.

to Obama: Pick Clinton for VP in 4 weeks to ensure victory!

My comments were used by CNN as an iReporter. I would like to reiterate that Jim Webb would be a great VP choice and compliment to Obama.

Jim Webb is a decorated war hero who fought in Vietnam. Saved his comrades from a grenade attack.

Jim Webb opposed the Iraq war from the very beginning in March of 2003.

Jim Webb's son fought in Iraq.

Jim Webb was a Ronald Reagan appointee. He worked in the Pentagon.

He brings military experience, is a moderate Democrat and a gun ownership advocate. This would take diseffected Republicans away from John McCain.

Downside is Jim Webb was married 3 times and was criticized for saying Women should not fight in war.

Ya right..No with Obama on the ticket!

CNN and the rest of the "spin" media and the talking heads are promoting Obama as if he walks on water, can take state after state, will cure the ills of the world. This is dangerous – you are setting up unrealistic expectations – there are millions of Republicans, Independents and Hillary Clinton lovers who will not vote for Mr. Hype.

The Hillary supports need to get their act together and follow their new leader. Remember that he ran a clean honorable race (as opposed to Hillary) and won. Now the Hillary supporters need to get with the program and follow Obama their fairly elected leader.

It will be an easy win for Senator Obama once he realizes he doesnt need votes from racist whites. Most "civil" and "normal" Americans, like myself, are afraid of John McCain – not only because he's a warmonger but also because he looks like an alien with short arms.

Go to spin machine. Press "ON." Call CNN first.

Yes we can!
