Clinton gets bump in polls

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

The best news so far!!!!!!! Even better news will be when Michigan anf Florida's votes with be allowed to count in this nomination!!!!

It is grossly unfair to democratic practice for DNC to go to such a length to punish Florida voters and those of MIchigan. Do they want to disenfranchise them. That is why we are still searching for a nominne now. As it looks like non of the candidates will get the number required why wouldn't the issue of Florida and Michigan be resolved. Although Obama and his supporters claim that his name was not even on the ballot for Michigan, why was it not there? Did the DNC ask that candidates remove their names from the ballot? His claim that he won the most states when the big states of Florida and Michigan are not even counted is a misnoma. Clinton is really the leading candidate. Do not deny her that.

Obama needs to tell us more about his relationship with Ayers. It’s important because voters might well wonder whether that relationship, coupled with Obama’s longtime relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is just the beginning of a pattern, a pattern in which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really don’t like the United States of America. Change. If you question him or his values or policies, you’re part of the “divisive, distracting” practices voters associate with Washington. If you become an unquestioning, adoring political groupie, you’re not. Them’s the Obama Rules.
One day after being drubbed by Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania to the tune of 200,000+ votes, Obama’s chief political adviser David Alexrod was on National Public Radio claiming that white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter.
Axelrod said, “The white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years. This is not new that Democratic candidates don’t rely solely on those votes.”
Listen to this foolish statement on NPR’s website here.

I think that shows the tide is turning. We are finally starting to see the real Obama. His pastors comments do reflect him as Obama was a member of the church for 20 years. I wonder if Barrack secretly has the same ideas and feelings. After all would you be a member of a church for 20 years if you found the pastor or his beliefs to be offensive. I think not. Hillary is turning out to be the best candidate for this country. Come on Obama, prove me wrong and debate Hillary!!!

Took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush and it will take a Clinton to clean up after the second Bush.

Hillary '08

Is Hillary the 2008 version of Ralph Nader? She has made her choice. It is either her or George W. McCain as president. . She will lose big. Her negatives are astronomical. I will stay home on election day if she steals Obama's right to be our next President.

Ah yes, the ranting of the uninformed and ignorant. Don't like something? Go on the internet and complain with all your nonsense.

Every arguement you make about Obama dropping out now is the same arguement he made about Hillary. Why should the result be any different Hc supporters? Oh thats' right, you live by a double-standard. I keep forgetting.

Howard Dean created this Liberal Mess!

Dem Candidates For 2008 ELECTION:
- President, Barack Hussein Obama
- Vice President Jeremiah Wright
- Sec Defense, John Swifty Kerry
- State Dept, Howard Dean
- Treasury, Tony Rezko
- Sec Education, Louis Farrakan
- Senate President, Teddy Kennedy

Blacks, digital Youth, and wine and cheese Liberals - Pushed by Massachusetts ulraLiberals - Kerry, John Dean, and Kennedy, All Failed in their Attempts want a "return to Camelot" in their arrogance Ignoring Only "Moderate Democrats" Have Been Elected Since JFK... Carter and Clinton, where McGovern, Gene McCarthy, Mondale, Dukakis, and Kerry... All FAILED?

Open Your Eyes! Why are the Pro-Republican Media & Pundits ONLY ATTACKING Mrs CLINTON, and Silent on Obama? They Know they Can Beat Barak Hussain, but not Hillary Rodman- She "Is Vetted" by 5 Year Investigations by Ken Starr & Republican Power Base - With NO RESULTS!

Who's asking for Obama to explain his relationship with Ayers? How silly, why don't you ask the Clintons about their relationship with Susan Rosenberg, the Weather Underground leader CLinton pardoned (this is the same organization that Ayers was involved in). Why don't you ask the Clintons about the Black Panthers and Hillary's hero, Saul Alinsky? Or how 'bout all their Oriental friends and fundraisers under investigation and/or already convicted of campaign fraud? Stop playing into the hands of these distractions, ---something the clintons are very good at doing.

Just goes to show it does not matter how many lies Hilary tells. Obama MUST stay as clean as a whistle however. God help us if America does not wake up.

McCain is looking better and better every day.

you are assuming the democrats will vote for her, I will never vote for her and I have been a democrat all my life. The more she campaigns the less I like her.

Score another one for the Clinton Attack Machine. God save us from another Clinton Administration and shame on them for their shameless, negative campaign!

Hillary Clinton needs to win every contest from here on by 20%.

Can't be done.

Hilary has acquitted herself well, but her negatives are way too high and her ability to raise funds is suspect. Obama is the one leading a new generation of Democrats and he will do better than the aging McSame. Come on Indiana--lets get down to the business of beating the war party. Go Obama.

I hope its not to little to late. Clearly Senator Clinton has two things Senator Obama will never have. Courage and a big win in Florida. The reason Obama's supporters are so desperate for this primary to end is that OBAMA HAS ALREADY PEAKED, THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU REALIZE THERE IS NOTHING THERE. EMPTY SUIT.

Obama should quit out of the race now! It is clear now he is a burden to America!

Why does everyone blame Obama for Florida and Michigan?? The Democratic party warned these states not to move their primary, they did and they lost their delegates. The voters should blame their state reps that went against the DNC.

Obama did choose to leave his name off the ballot just like the States chose to move their primaries.

I am voting ABH... Anyone but Hillary... I would vote for Bush over Hillary... i would even take Cheney over power greedy Hillary...

Hillary is too dishonest. She has soooo many similarities as bush, will say and do anything to get elected. She is only starting to gain ground because she is being so very negative. I don't like her dishonesty. Obama is a rare man that doesn't take much $ from special interest and doesn't want negative campaigning. Obama is good for this country, hillary and mcCain aren't

Last time I checked the ex-pastor was not running for president. But the ex-president was. You are hoping for more of The Clintons? More of the same old insider take no prisoners, demean and degrade the opposition. Question the patriotism of opponents? Say anything to get elected. Back room corporte guys paying the bills? The Clintons are breaking all records in taking lobby and PAC money. Who do you think is going to call the tune? Rovian politics = Clintonian politics. Look around at the country to see if you want another 4 years of Bush Clinton rule (its been 28 years) Hows that working out for us?

GImme a break, please. Have you actually listened to Wright's comments in context? He is somehow not patriotic because he gives voices to his feelings? He served in the military and he serves his parishioners with distinction. More than you can say for Cheney, . . . or Clinton for that matter.

Please examine why you have these thoughts about Obama, it's time to talk about race openly in America, not gloss it over with more Clinton rhetoric.

i am a residence of illinois for almost 30 years now. Since senator barak obama become us senator in the state of illinois I never heard of anything that obama has done in the state of illinois. Only us senator Richard Durbin are the only one I heard from the news that always fightnig and working for the peoples of state of illinois.

This is not surprising but meaningless.

It is not surprising that with both McCain and Clinton trashing Obama that his numbers are depressed. two against one and all.

Meaningless because the nominee will be chosen by delegate count... not popularity, not because on one day one candidate looked better than McCain.

That leaves the Super Delegates. They have been breaking very strongly for Obama since Super Tuesday and there is no sign of this changing.

Obama is the best candidate for President, hands down.
Hillary is taking the low road each time it comes close to a Primary to make him look bad.
I hope she uses the same methods on McCain when she is running for Vice President.

Hillary’s deceptions thus far:
Sniper fire.
Obama is a elitist.
She leads in the popular vote.
Using photos of Obama in traditional dress to associate him with terror.
Using images of Osama to encourage fear.

I heard a lot of comments so but the best was from a Republican that said "Do we want Bill Clinton in the White House with nothing to do." lol

I do agree that Obama should take a stronger stance and put her out of the campaign, by not doing this he does not look as strong as before. But he will win.

I hope Hillary becomes the first woman President of America. She will have more motherly heart and common sense compared to most men.

You are touting this old couple day in day out. Even a socialist Hillary will do as long as there is a white countenance. You ignore Obama's 11 consecutive victory and are taking maximum millage out of the votes of a few back country forgotten Pennsylvanians. No one will vote for Hillary and be reminded of sex in the oval office every day. You are still dreaming of a confederacy and attempting to paint America as a monster.

Yeah baby!... Texas loves you Hillary...

For those that are whining about not voting for Hillary and will stay home. BRAVO!!! stay home you cowards.

Pragmatically the Super Delegates have to look after the future of the Party and t is why they have been tending toward Obama. Clinton locks up the older white female democrats who will still vote is she is not the nominee, Obama brings in new people to the party.. particularly the young, who the party needs if it is going to win more than one election.and they have no allegiance to Democrats or the Process and may sit out or vote for McCain if t perceive Obama is "cheated" out of the nomination he won.

If Hillary Clinton went to KuKluxKlan meetings once a week for twenty years and claimed not to know that they hate blacks what do you think would be said about that? Yet, Barry Obama is asking us to believe that he did not know that the REV Jeremia is a hate spewing crazy vermin, just as hateful as all those KuKluxKlanners. The unREV Write is just on the other side of the fence.

Hillary is the only one to elect. She's human, has faults but they pale in comparison to what we are finding out about Barry and his past associates.

With this type of leadership the Republicans must be salivating over not just winning the White house but probably Congress as well. Can it get any more dysfunctional. If Hillary is the nominee the implosion of the party is inevitable. Back room politics and the backlash by African American voters will cripple the party for years to come.
Thanks Hillary, Nancy, Howard.
A rare MA republican

I'll stay home if Obama is the nominee too so it's a wash :-) Even Jim Cramer says Hillary is the best candidate for the economy by far. There are people who won't vote for each of the candidates for several reasons, not just Hillary. The polls and the electoral college say she'll win.

Sorry about Michigan and Florida. They didn't play by the rules. If only Tom Brady could have asked for a replay after the superbowl was over. Would be nice but yeah uhhh, it doesn't work that way so stop asking for it.

Just please speak the truth: you want to cheat in order for Hillary to secure the nomination. Just be honest about it. Thats all people want. Its all we ask for.

Obama is a one of a kind candidate. I know most women will be bitter if hillary loses, but why can't you see how dishonest she is and how SHE IS VERY SIMILAR to BUSH, just a liberal and intelligent version of bush. She represents everything bad about politics now. WHEN has there been a candidate that has stood up to the special interests like obama, plus he will get us out of iraq.
Rev Wright is just a pastor big deal, i don't agree with everything my minister says.

I wonder if it is a coincidence that Clinton is popular with the ignorant and racists... I guess you are who you pander too. If you have to appeal to be at their lowest form to get them to support you, that says a lot about your viability as a candidate. She and her husband have a long history of lying, deciet and bringing shame on the office of the Presidency, for any person to support her in spite of this known track record says they are either very forgiving, devoid of rational thought, or so racists that any white candidate is preferable to the thought of a Blaqck President.
Shame on you all.

Let's note forget what happened last time Hillary was in the White House.
She fired all the Travel agency staff for no reason. She failed in her attempt to change the healthcare system. She couldn’t find the billing records from her law firm for 5 years then they showed up on the dinning room table of the most secure building in America.
She couldn’t remember anything when she was questioned about her dealing with Madison Bank and Whitewater.
Then she stole all the furniture when she left.
She has never run a company or anything in her life. She has no experience as a leader in Private or public sector.
Oh let’s not forget she was the Lawyer for the FDIC when it was investigating Madison Bank and Trust and she didn’t disclose that she was a partner with the McDougal’s who owned the S&L.
Is this what we want in the White House?
I say no.
Vote for change
Vote Obama

I can't recall any woman who have fought so bravely in any election. She is fighter. I had lost my hope after Nancy comment followed by Richardson's act. But, finally she vindicated herself. There is nothing left to prove. What else we can expect from a leader who has emerged as a winner even after being criticized and been advised to drop.
I don't think we will ever get leader like this woman.
Come on cheer up for Hillary.
Lets support a person whos been serving this country for almost 8 years.
Lets get united for a person who precisely knows what America needs.
Lets fight for a fighter.

The early posts were by a group of Clinton boosters. A dreadful choice - Bill, again and Hillary - a double whammy. The Obama people must have been tempted to run a 3.00 am ad. with Hillary - in curlers - turning to Bill and saying 'honey tell me what I should do?'

It is obvious that there are two distinct strategies the black community are following the race relations. One is the peaceful negotiation, discussion and injecting some amendments to the constitution, the Martin Luther King way. The second one is by mobilizing the affected race and press for change that is militancy of Malcolm X way. Non of them should be labelled bad or good. They are both means of strugglle to achieve your goal of equity in the wealth of the country. But those who chose the second way should not expect to hold elected office. They are not unpatriotic as well.

The only important issue for Dems should be to defeat John McCain in November. Obama has only won red states in the democratic primaries/caucuses, which will vote Republican in the general election. Add all the dems who have promised to vote Republican if Obama is the candidate, and you have another 4 years of Bush. Obama may be the best candidate, but he is unelectable in November.

13 percent of country is BLACK! 13 percent.

The Black Church saying how the "black" church is not being allowed to express itself as a BLACK CHURCH (unashamedly BLACK) and Obama being in THAT church for 20 years shows WHO he IS! Wake up America!

If Clinton went to "white" church who stated "unashamedly WHITE" and paster RANTED on America and Black people, she would be HISTORY!

Why the double standard, because Obama is Black, and it's not about RACE! :)

Florida and Michigan delegates KNEW they wouldnt be counted if they went early and went anyway. All of the major cantidates, except senator clinton, in the democratic party removed their names from the michigan ballot, and agreed not to campaign in either state. Not only did most of the cantidates remove their names from the ballot, each and every one signed an agreement acknowledging that neither of those states would count. Senator Clinton didn't care because she thought she had an easy road ahead of her. Her scorched earth policy may well spell the end of the Democratic parties chances this november.

Even when you add the totals of Florida and Michigan, Obama still wins when you give him the uncommitted votes.

Maybe the tide really is turning, but polls are fickle. I like Obama but he clearly is getting in over his head and we'll all go down with him.

The media got us into this "mess" - if you perceive it to be a mess, - not Hillary or Barack or even necessarily the DNC. Read Elizabeth Edwards' EXCELLENT Op Ed piece in yesterday's NYT online. We have to all start thinking critically, think for ourselves, and question the media, constantly.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/opinion/27edwards.html

Obama's RIGHT to be President? That is exactly the kind of arrogant, entitled attitude that keeps blue collar workers from relating to him. People who work hard and, you know, EARN what they get, instead of expecting to be rewarded as a matter of right.

NOBODY has the RIGHT to be President. Anyone who thinks so does not deserve to be President. The office and the country are bigger than any one man. If Obama does not stop acting as if he is so entitled, he will lose. The polls are bearing this out.

Polls smolls, the election is too far away to have any poll have any bearing on its outcome. I support obama, Hillary is TOO DISHONEST and we need somebody NEW. BUT if hillary gets the nominee, I will be smart enough to realize that McCain is Bush 3 and will destroy AMerica. PATIOTISM = MAKING AMERICA THE BEST COUNTRY, not wearing a flag pin. Our country will be devastated if we have another republican.

If the delegate assignment in the respective primaries had been handled properly and fairly by the Democratic party, this race would be over with Clinton the nominee. I find it amusing that Obama supporters portray their candidate as an avante garde wizard of change, when in fact, he is benefiting from back room delegate deals and contrived delegate assignment formulas that no one except the party regulars understand. This should be a wakeup call to all the super delegates who have committed to Obama that maybe they got caught leaning the wrong way, and that they had darn well better get themselves aligned before they end up permanently estranged as Governor Richardson will soon be. The political bloodletting in the party after Hillary Clinton wins the Presidency will be real and painful for many. Truth be told, never bet against a Clinton.

This observer is Non-American and hence ha no vested interest ... it seems that the Clinton campaign represents everything that has been so sick about American politics for so long ... too bad we had hoped that Obama would be chosen so as to give America a fresh start and some renewed stature on the world stage ... If Clinton is chosen then America will be seen to have chosen a candidate without the quality of being believable or trustworthy.

She and her spouse are both using the most vile innuendo and brazen smear tactics to try and gain office. Such actions if rewarded will reap a whirlwind of reaction that will permanently damage the view of America as a just society for years to come.

Blue Collars will have to decide wich group of americans they team up with
young voters, independnets voters, back voters and educated voters
or
elderly women who fallow Mrs. Clinton

Anybody who still sees Hillary as the nominee, wow! That's some serious case of delusion there. Outside of Republicans, why would anybody back the loosing candidate? She can win? Come on, get real! If you honestly think that Barack can't win it, and he towers over her in honesty and integrity, how do you expect her to win? Come on, spell it out. With over half the general population stating that she is distrustful, how can she win the General? With the Republicans salivating to run against her, how can she win? With her negativities, how can she win? Without the African American vote, the youth vote, and sorry for saying this but the intelligent vote, how can she win? Come on you armchair pundits, spell it out. Tell us great unwashed how she can win? Unless the real reason you post is because you know she can't win, and that's exactly what you want! Looking forward to the responces!

I find it ironic that older white American women are flocking to Hillary's campaign. I have no doubt that should she be nominated and eventually elected, Hillary Clinton will set back any advances made by American women over recent decades to the stone age.

Wake up, Ladies---she is NOT the appropriate woman to serve as America's first female president.

Yes! It has begun!
The latest Indiana poll just came out:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/latestpolls/index.html

Hillary is ahead by 9pt!
And it is only Monday…
Go, girl!

Hillary's people WILL back Barack Obama...'abortion.' After years of struggle to defend a woman's right to choose, will they give the deciding vote on the Supreme Court to another Republican administration? Hardly.

Hooisers for HILLARY !!!!

Obama: More delegates, More states contests won, More popular votes and MORE DELEGATES.

Clinton: Why couldn’t she win in Iowa. To many White voters I guess. Why couldn’t she win in South Carolina. To many Black voters I guess. Why doesn’t she have more delegates? Why doesn’t she have more states, Why does she have to use fuzzy math to lead in the popular vote. Why does the goal post keep moving? Why does she want to cheat and not follow the rules they all agreed to?

She should stop wasting time and money.

I would have voted for Hillary had she won prior to February. I went and saw both her and Obama in the same day in NH. I came away impressed. What has changed since then? I see Obama has remained consistent in his campaign. He refuses to mention the dirt he could on the Clintons and shows respect for his real opponent at this point, John McCain. Obama then, and now, shows leadership.

On the other hand, the Clinton I saw in NH and at some debates is not the same I've seen at other debates. Ms. "Shame on You" has disgraced herself and her husband has destroyed the good will he has built-up over the past 8 years. I used to be on their side, but now I am old enough to see just how vile, manipulative and game-changing she can be. She is two-faced and selfish and I could never vote for her.

Response to Mike that Florida & Michigan were warned not to move their primarys up. Florida has a republican controlled congress & Executive branch. The majority voted in favor of moving up their primary date. Do you think that the republican party in Florida was really concerned about the threat from the Democratic National Party? So far Howard Dean & Obama are playing right into their hands. How do you think that those voters will respond in Florida if the DNC is stupid enough to ignore the vote of the people? Another reason that Obama should not get the nomination...HE has no concern for these voters because it seriously affects his claims to be nominated at the expense discounting a few million voters. As another poster on this board said... Obama is turning out to be nothing more than an empty suit .
Clinton has the experience this country needs at a critical time in our history, & has shown the fortitude to stand up to the republican shenanigans since they blew $80 million dollars of the taxpayer's money on the Ken Starr investigations. Obama has never shown any fortitude, other than to stand up for Rev. Wright. look at his history in State & Federal Politics, HE has more "present" votes than the entire Kennedy Family in decades less time. No Will to take a stance on anything. He claims to be THE Candidate who was against the IRaq War, however he was not in the senate & privy to the same information that was provided to congress at that time. Based on that information, ( false as we now know it to be), what would he have actually done? Probably ran home to avoid voting one way or another at all? or just vote Present? My guess is he would not have been brave enough to take a stance one way or another as his voting record proves.
Go Hillary!!!!

I only wish that Obama could attach Hillary as meanly and ferociously as she did to him. I wonder why you have to wear a flag pin to show your patriosm, and why people just buy into those sound bites to draw their conclusion, and why people could not see through the superficial surface that Hillary and media feed to see the elements deep under. President Bush was elected because of those voters like that, and Hillary is selling the same thing to those same voters. Wait for GOP to start the attack on Clintons. They have much more history to dig into, much more scandles to pull out of the water, and much less reservation to fight as the same way as Ms. Clinton does.

OBAMA IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME CANDIDATE. HILLARY IS A TYPICAL NEGATIVE, DISHONEST POLITICIAN. WE NEED TO CHANGE COURSE AND GET A NEW THINKER IN THE WHITEHOUSE. THE NOTION THAT OBAMA IS RACIST BECAUSE OF REV WRIGHT IS ABSURD. HILLARY = DEMOCRATIC KARL ROVE.

A. Toklas. Clinton is unelectable in November. No candidate going into a general election stands a chance with a 60% unfavorable rating. Add onto that all the disaffected Republicans who hate the Clintons who will come out in force to vote against Hillary Clinton in November, and you have a sure loser.

The clear choice for Democrats is Barack Obama. He was won with enthusiastic support in red and purple states. He'll carry Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri and put into play Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico. Clinton doesn't stand a chance in these states and will also cause downticket candidates for house and senate seats to suffer immeasurably. Real Democrats need to wake up and realize the political liability HRC is

How many Republicans are voting Democratic in these primaries for the one they believe McCain will have an easier time defeating?

The country is divided by the Bush/Rove policies of the last 7 years and Hillary doesn't have it in her to unite the country. for the common good.

Finally, the only Presidential candidate that makes any sense is getting some love! Vote Hillary in '08

Go Hillary!!!!

I hate to break it to everyone... There is no way any of these candidates will "End" the war in Iraq. Non will just pull the plug.. Any real foreign policy adviser will tell how pulling the plug will be worse than starting the war. If the US pulls the plu the rest of the world will hate us even more because we didnt finish what we started... Check with real foreign policy makers... not candidates.. Search for opinions by real scholars, not political allies...
Dont get me wrong, i hate the war more than anyone.. but reality is that our candidates are lying when they say the will end the war... or maybe they mean they will end it "Eventually"...

Let’s review her record of toughness on 2 of the most critical policies that have affected the American people in the past 20 years. In the Clinton administration and now the Bush Administration.

1. NAFTA – She promoted, supported and by most witness accounts rammed NAFTA down the throats of congress. But behind closed doors she doubted the policy and said it was wrong. But despite knowing it was wrong she went along with the status quo pushing it forward.

2. IRAQ WAR – She agreed to go to war but hoped secretly that it would not come to a war. Although the document she signed clearly said “right to go to war.” She again caved in to the status quo and agreed to do something she really should have stood up against.

So over the past 2 decades and last 2 Presidencies, Hillary Clinton has effectively been a help to diminishing manufacturing jobs and bankrupting the country. NAFTA allowed major manufacturing corporations the option to close plants in America and ship jobs overseas. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Albany NY, NJ, Oregon and many more blue collar states have Hillary to thank for making sure that during her husband’s run in the white house they lost our jobs. Meanwhile the Clintons earned over $109 Million dollars doing ‘speeches and writing books’ while hard working people continue to lose homes and jobs. Because of NAFTA and the Iraq war, jobs are shipped over seas and the economy is basically bankrupt. Women are losing jobs at a much faster rate then men. Women like executive assistants, office managers, research analyst, and human resources managers can basically thank Hillary Clinton for helping Bush go to war. These women are normally the first people chosen when the chopping block starts falling in these large corporations. Women get laid off a lot quicker then men and that is a fact. So about that ‘glass ceiling’ theory she wants to crash? She managed to push it up even higher for the average women who is not running for President but just wants a job to help support her family.

Think about it… within the last 2 decades - two of the most critical decisions that have affected America’s economy and growth have been screwed up all because Hillary Clinton folded under pressure. First NAFTA and then she agreed with Bush to go to War. America is now jobless and bankrupt and we can thank Hillary

Clinton for contributing to that problem. Now she wants us to trust her in fixing it? She can’t even balance the budget of her campaign. Her campaign is bankrupt. How can she be trusted to be the steward of America when she can’t balance a simple campaign budget?

Hillary Clinton is not tough. She caves in under pressure – but not from the blue collar people she appeals to but the white collar corporate and congressman who are paying her income.

Hillary supporters only support her because she is a women, obama supporters support him because he will make the best candidate. If hillary was male would you really support him? No, because that is essentially John Edwards

For whatever it is worth, AMERICANS are HYPOCRITES, all of them. When it comes to election, instead of tackling issues at hand, we tackle 'what he/she heard in Dunkin Donuts". Instead of standing UNITED against a war and all the criminal conduct of this country against INNOCENT people, we enlist our troops and give them a blank check to do what they want and NO ONE will prosecute them. When one speaks the TRUTH of what mistakes we make as a 'God fearing' nation and get cursed for it, it is unpatriootic. IF AMERICANS BELIEVE IN GOD then your should well know by now that we are 'paying' for our sins by becoming what we are, culprits. WE NEED CHANGE.

Actually Karl, that SUSA poll has been narrowing. The last poll they did had HRC up by more. Obama is closing the gap and will win in IN!

All other IN polls show it tied with BO with a slight lead.

More of a ripple for Hillary! Voters are really starting to see the Truth about Hillary, they have had the lies, smears and negative campaigning, it is going to take a lot for her to overtake Barack Obama in Delegates and Mandate of the Voters, but just as Hillary has tried to Fool Voters! I don't trust now what Dean and the DNC may do for the sake of "The Dynasty"

If the DNC do not back the Mandate given by Voters or give in to one candidates cries to change rules they are heading to destroy the Party,

Way to go, Hillary!!!!!
She is a strong lady who will be ready to become our next President.
Associated Press/Ipsos and Gallup Poll show that Clinton begins to climb up and lead over Obama and McCain. More people NEED to wake up and learn the truth who has more experiences in governing the government issues - yes, Hillary has faults and flaws; in a fact Obama and McCain do have faults & flaws if you research more about their faults, flaws and the votes they have done during their senator years....BUT we need to look at the candidate who has fought and worked harder during their many years. Media people love to find more negative talks and information on Hillary and keep a lid closed on Obama when he truly has some negative information and faults.

The candidate that has courage and ready to stand up for our country is
Hillary Rodham Clinton!!!!!

Don't give up, Hillary and we are supporting you!!!

Petition to have the FL. votes counted. One petition for FL voters and one petition for national voters. You don't have to be a FL resident or a democrat to be a part of this. Please pass on to family and friends. Thanks.

CLINTON 08 wrote: Obama needs to tell us more about his relationship with Ayers.

And what about Hillary’s relationship with Bill Clinton whose lies to the American people got him disbarred by the Supreme Court and the State of Arkansas? That’s not the kind of co-president that should be occupying the White House!

I don't know why Hillary feels she needs to argue that she's a better candidate for fall. She is losing the race fare and square. Go ahead and count Florida but you can't count Mich as Obama was not on the ballet. This whole controversy is kind of nonsense; I don't think you can go back and change the rules 3/4 through the game. This is a delegate race, period. Florida and Mich were warned far far ahead of time that their delegates would not count. Obama is winning the race and you can debate it all you want, but he has this nomination unless he gets involved in a "real" scandal. cheers, jon

Jessica, I don't think most women will feel bad if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.
Some will. She's the wrong woman - she's a vicious person, and a liar to boot. If you want to drag up unsavory types I can associate her for quite a list. Barack won't go there because that's not who is is. But he could. She very definitely lives in a glass house.
My hopes are pinned on a man with honesty and integrity - Senator Barack Obama.
God's speed, sir~

Come on, can't fool me. I can't help bu think that Diane and trups are just crafty GOP plants intenting to make us think that all libs are liberal media brainwashed fools. Oops, it worked. Clever GOP.

Looks like Clintonites are active these days! Hmm! Thats revealing!

Clintonista found a new heaven in blogspot and rumor-spot! Clintons like gossip, adn they are praying for miracle.

Oh, Hillary found her voice! Was it lost in the campaign trail?

I can bet, if Hillary ever win the general election; Pennsylvania & Ohio give Hillary goosebump; but she is sitting in the chariot of Republicans. She is a darling for neo-cons.

Hilary is a scumbag; she is a pathological liar, she has a proven track record of 36 years of evil-doing.

Vote wisely, vote o8ama 08.

I'm sure the DNC does wish they could rethink the Florida/Michigan decision, but the fact is that both states' delegations had voted in favor of the DNC policy regarding primary dates. More importantly, both campaigns agreed to play by those rules. We can debate the merits of the DNC's actions all day, but that debate would help no one but John McCain. The fact is, it really should be an easy call to enforce a rule that everyone previously agreed to.

As a side note, "disenfranchisement" isn't at issue here. Neither the federal nor any state constitution gives someone the right to vote in a party primary, nor controls the effect that any such vote should have on the party decision-making process. Typically, *most* votes do not "count" in national primary elections, because the nominee is determined by states that vote earlier. In fact, both major parties have bylaws that permit the party, under certain circumstances, to ignore the votes altogether and choose the nominee another way. Although there are many great things about our primary process (connecting candidates with voters and communities, etc.), it would be foolish to mistake it for a truly democratic process. It is, however, a process governed by rules, and we can be no fairer than to insist that those rules be followed, however much doing so helps or hurts our candiate of choice.

she is usless after all, lyer of a 300,000,000

in Hillary steals the nomination from Obama I will stay home on election day. I have had enough of the Clintons and Bushes. I am life long republican but its time for a change and Obama can do it.

Wow, so it seems as if the majority of people here get their education from Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC, and repeat it like parrots. Nice job everyone! Nice job BIG Media. Do your own research, turn off the box, read, and don't trust anything you cannot verify yourself.

These polls prove nothing. Neither the margin of error nor the sample size were released. If the poll margin was +/- 5%, would this poll actually mean anything? Even if it were +/-3% it wouldn't mean anything as it doesn't really indicate any real change. The only consistent long-term trend that has been seen has been a steady increase in momentum for BO and losses for HRC. The truth hurts.

YOU GO HILLARY... WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE, BESIDES FORGET WHAT BILL DID, LOOK WHAT HE DID FOR THE AMERICANS.HE CARED ABOUT US! THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER PRESIDENTS THAT DID BAD STUFF WHILE IN OFFICE. FORGET OBAMMA, HE'S JUST A KID AND FORGET JOHN, HE'L BE AS BAD AS GEORGE IF NOT WORSE, HE'S TOO OLD TO!

I WANT HILLARY I WANT A CHANGE, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

Hillary Clinton is doing well right now BECAUSE OBAMA HAS BEEN REVEALED, AND SHE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!! I am sick of people saying that only the poor or stupid vote for Hillary Clinton. I make well over 6 figures, AND I BELIEVE IN HER WITH ALL OF MY HEART! She can fix the mess our country is in, and I really want her to.

Both Clinton and Obama are bad for America. The media has done its best to promote anti-Bush sentiment for this very day, but the prejudice of the media elite will not prevail. Clinton and Obama have smeared each other so badly during the primaries that they have done one another in permanently in terms of the broader presidential election. This is the ugliest bit of infighting in American election history. The American people are appalled and disgusted by the antics of the Democrat candidates. This election looks more like a nursery school fistfight than an intelligent appeal to the American people.
Obama? Clinton? The choice is clear. Neither one of them.

lets have a reality check, do you think if he has the most delegates the DNC would risk a stormy convention and also the possible loss of african americans for generations to come.Read Elizabeth Drew's article.The delegates privately told her they are moving to support Obama.

The polls are jacking the public around by their collective noses! People are mostly undecided about who they will vote for. Race, Lying, Backstabbing and general pandering is just all part of the process. John McCain is an old tired fool with old tired ideas. Unfortunately, given the deep divisions in the Democratic party, this old fool with be elected! He will continue to destroy America llike Chimpy his pal has been doing since 2001.

Obama has lost almost every big state in the primaries so don´t say he is the one can win in november or talk about his 11 wins in a row. Winning Wyoming won´t get you elected president. He has lost too many states that are criticle to win the White House.

When you add MI and FL Clinton is ahead on the popular vote. If the DNC is too stupid to see that you need to seat at least half of those electoral votes, they will lose in Nov (Hillary may get some slack because she fought hard for seating those folks). For those that say MI "shouldn't count" because Obama wasn't on the ballot... my response is that if he was too stupid or too naive to leave his name on he should pay the price. All his mistakes are his mistakes, not Hillary's. Again, you cannot ignore 9% of the countries population and expect them to "come home".

What was it you didn't like about the Clinton years? Was it the peace or the prosperity?

If you want a democratic President you should Vote for Clinton

Middle Eastern For Clinton

Obama is done. Period. End of Report.

He is unelectable and continues to illustrate his inability to close the deal.
This will be over soon. The super delegates can safely go home and say "I supported him, until it was obvious he would lose."
The superD's won't risk their districts for a loser.

The media and the Republicans have selected Hillary to be our next President. The unseen powers in this country are not about to have any change in this country . Our media knows that most of the people in this country will believe anything they tell them to believe so they beat up on Obama and give Hillary a free pass on her shady history. She even has the Republicans on her side because they know with her it will be business as usual. The U.S. will continue on this downward spiral because the powers that be will not let change happen.

That "bump" in the polls is almost 10 points! Like Pennsylvania and Ohio! BIG!
And it is time for Obama to part this campaign. Now. He has divided not only this country but this Democrat Party! He is the most polarizing candidate in memory. He has no chance after Wright, Ayers and his own comments calling his own Grandmother a "typical white person." and then his comments from San Franscico. And where does he stand in SOLVING issues. He doesn't. He still has no experience. He still has no solid answers while Clinton has an answer to truly solve these economic problems facing our country. We must win in November and we can do this with Hillary Clinton!. Obama must leave this race. If he were to be the nominee, he would not only lose the Presidency, but he will take down the whole Democrat party like a deck of cards!

Poster #85: You cannot confuse primary and caucus elections with the general election. You are just falling for their rhetoric. It means nothing to win by a few points in a primary in a big blue state. That big blue state will stay blue in November. You and the Clinton campaign are talking nonsense.

To all who remeber the good old days with Bill "the Cigar " ( was it a cuban- illegal cigar) Clinton, I ask you "how did he care for us??? What exactly did he do for us ...healthcare reform??, jobs security????, stop loss of jobs overseas????, peacemaker????( he continued to bomb IRAQ and supported sanctions that killer women and children by the thousands) ( Kosovo), lowered taxes?????, increased the minimum wage???
Well???????? pray tell how he cared for us???? Spent taxpayers money for years to lie about not having sex with Monica, shamed the office of the president,.
Oh yeah, Bill cared for us the way that mother Hillary will.
I am LOL at the lack of information that people have, that they will use to choose a president who will lead us. Pretty scary isn't it.

btw...check this out.

So much for Michigan!! HAHA

Core Democrat....why should the winner drop out of the race? Shouldn't the loser drop out? Clinton has no chance of winning...she should drop out for the sake of party unity. Of course, she doesn't care about uniting anyone.

After reading most of these comments, me thinks us Pogo's are getting just what we Deserve!

If Hillary is able to use the party's Old Guard and combine that with the race-baiting campaign she ran in Penn and Ohio ("Vote for me...I'm just like you" is code for "Vote for me...I'm white and he's not") to steal the nomination, we will confirmation of what I never wanted to believe: the Democratic Party is now the White People's Party.

I've got my voter reg form filled out already, and I'll send it if the worst happens. I won't be a part of a party where "electable" is a synonym for "white."

Crotty has been making the best case for Clinton. And continues to do so.

HRC will:

A. Get her fair of votes from Florida
B. Clean Obama's clock in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico, and win by strong single digits in Indiana, and, yes, surprise-surprise, Oregon. You see, Oregon is not only filled with gutter punks, gay street hookers, and MoveOn extremists. There are lots and lots of working class folks in rural Oregon who will respond to Clinton's Democratic Centrist message. Obama will carry PDX and Eugene, and Hillary will carry the rest.

For me, it comes down to NC. Can Bill Clinton work his mojo with rural voters there? That's the question. If Bill does in NC what he did in PA, Hillary could pull off a monumental upset.

With a win in NC, she will carry almost every state to the finish.

NC is key.

First of all, the person who blames Hillary Clinton for NAFTA ought to take a look at who actually was president at that time and who TRULY had control over whether NAFTA passed or not. It wasn't Hillary, she was the first lady for pete's sakes. Not only that but America has to participate in trade policies. NAFTA is not a horrible thing, it just needs to be fixed---as Hillary intends to do. As for the war vote, not one person knows how they really would have voted, not you or me, not Barack Obama either. She takes responsibility for her vote, she says it was sincere, so at that time she felt it was the right thing to do. So did the majority of Americans at that time. So c'mon now....to blame Hillary for the war is also ridiculous. She didn't mishandle it once it got started. The president and his administration did. Some of you people do really try to dig deep to lead others to believe the worst of other people. It's amazing the nasty twisted and spun out things we see about Hillary on these boards, but yet there's not much positive talk about Barack Obama either coming from the Hillary haters. It's hate to hate, blame to blame, name call to name call. And you call yourself democrats? Why don't you try to post positive stuff about your candidate instead of spewing vile out of your mouth (or typing fingers). It's like I've said from the very beginning, if this is "change," then I don't want to be a part of it and I will sit out this election, or vote McCain. I'm appalled at what some people consider to be "positive change." I say YOU GO HILLARY!!! I know she's one tough lady who's fought for the right causes and who's done a lot for minority groups especially. As for her campaigning, does it matter how ugly it is so long as you get there? I don't think so. I think we need a winner. That's the important thing for the democratic party this year. Someone that whines over hard questions and who refuses to fight back and who is afraid to debate Hillary Clinton and who basically wants to stand in front of a teleprompter and speak is someone that strikes me as a person who is terrified of conflict and confrontation. That's not someone we want as president, AT ALL. Clinton is far from a loser. A couple of posts up someone said she should drop out because she is the loser. Well Barack is ahead in the numbers, but he can't win either, but I'm not saying he ought to drop out for the unity of the party. How rude.

And you and the rest of the MSM thought things would be any different this morning? You guys have based Obama for 2 weeks now. YOu got what you wanted so now live with another Clinton drama and lies for the next 4 years.
Noticewd you guys had 2 articles today about the super Hillary picked up but nothing on the one that Obama picked up. Yep thats doing a service to your public..no wonder most people get their news from the internet. The papers don;t report anymore, they just cram their choice down our throats.

Obama cannot win against McCain. Period. This fact is unmistakably clear. The Republican political machine hasn't even really BEGUN their assault; what is he going to do when they do begin?!? He's just not experienced enough to handle it. Hillary is. She's a fighter.

If you want another 4 years of so-called 'leadership' by a Republican, go ahead and support Obama.

If you don't, then I suggest you get over this irrational, misogynist, petty, short-sighted, unfounded bias against Hillary. She's the candidate who CAN win!

It is interesting how Obama supporters cry about the "rules" when refering to the seating of delegates from FL or MI and dismiss the notion of disenfranchising voters. Yet they want to impose new "rules" on Superdelegates pressuring them to vote for the leader in "pledged" delegates when by design Superelegates are supposed to vote for the candidate of their own choice (presumably who they think is most electable in the general election).

Howard Dean get this phony liar of Barack Obama off of the democratic party. He's a disgrace and I'm ashamed of being a democrat. If by any chance if wins, ywhich I very much doubt, but if he does, we will all vote for McCain, (me, my family, and lots of friends). How dare him stand there and say he didn't really now Wright. Does Obama think Americans are stupid. This is all a show between Wright and Obama to fool us. Were not tupid Obama and it angers me when I listen to you talk to as if we were little ignorant kids. You should be ashamed Obama. As far as Wright has a fresh face, he's enjoying all of this.
Howard Dean do something about removing Obama or the democrats will lose in November.

All this talk about Rev. Wright, what about MARK PEN? and his NATF double deal?
Have you people forgotten what we'll get if Hillary is elected? MORE LIES, MORE WAR AND MORE MONEY FOR HER!!
