Senator Clinton should stay in the race. She is the better candidate.

The American voters have spoken !

I'm glad Hillary is staying in, too. She's brilliant and can handle anything that comes her way. She is also not afraid of anyone or anything.
Obama would be LUCKY to have her as a running mate- she's got the big states locked up- he can't win them without her. If he gets the nomination, he better hope and pray to have Hillary on his side or he hasn't got a chance.

Can you define, "is?"

PLEASE STOP THE FIGHTING FELLOW DEMOCRATS, THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. LET'S COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STRONG FOR NOVEMBER.THE MAIN FOCUS NOW IS TO STOP MCCAIN.

Planet Clinton sounds like a wonderful alternate reality.

But here, in the real world, it's Obamamania people. Get on the train.

Wooohoo!

Hillary can when I can't believe the media is trying and team Obama is playing from the republican play book if she wins big in WV and KY and does fairly well in the three states in up nprth she can come withhin twenty del.after PR.

Will he still look triumphant when he loses Kentucky by 38%?

Are Democrats so dumb that they are going to nominate an unelectable candidate again?

If they are they don't deserve to hold the white house now or any time in the near future.

The voters have spoken. This should be stopped now.
All Hillary is going to do is try to get votes on fact she feels people should feel sorry for her. That way if she does a sweep on the remaining states they will give it to her. She is done. Obama fight hard and wipe that witch out.

The real damm truth is they are get real

My vote will be for a p.o.w. who serve
his country with honor not a johnny
come lately who used his church for
his political gains and will NOT wear
a FLAG PIN.

Hil"lie"ry seems to think that white people wont vote for obama in her statement today. I as a black man hopes that she continues because i think that she has single handedly reduced the chancees of any white candidate to ever recieve black votes again! 90% of black people vote for her cheating husband also! I will never vote for the dems again and millions of black people will probably do the same! screw the dems!

Yes, brilliant is an accurate word to describe Hillary. Even her worst enemies have to admit that. So, some loser who blogs about her not being smart...well...who cares what he thinks.

Is it not okay to say "white Americans?" But it is okay to say "black Americans." What exactly is the problem here? Geez...

Obama has it. She won't even come close in MT or Oregon and even if she wins all of the other primaries she still won't win. Go ahead sit Florida Mchigan she still won't win because there is no way they will award all those delegate to her some but not all. GET OVER IT SHE LOST THIS THING IN FEB!! even her own people say that!

Jackie, it's not smart for Hillary to alienate such a large portion of her constituency. Many "white Americans" support Obama, or he wouldn't be winning. Nothing wrong with saying "white Americans" or "black Americans" to me, but making racial generalizations is hardly a brilliant political manuever, unless it is her intention to widen the growing rift in the Democratic party.

I have a question maybe someonew has an answer for. How many states has Obama won that did not have an African American population of at least 18%. I am sure that is out there in Blogland somewhere.
This race should go on through all primaries including Florida and Michigan. All voters have the right to be heard. Only Obama people want it to end knowing there could be an upset.

Hil"lie"ry and the racist dems have possiblly lost the black vote forever!
she better hope that black americans dont start siding with osoma bin laden!
screw the dems!

This is a gut sick description of a man who would NEVER be where he is without the help of the media cheerleaders. If he was really about unity he would have called the media on their outrageous bias long time ago so that the nominee is a legitimate nominee and not another politician who snakes his way into office. IF he becomes the nominee he can then thank the media for helping him DIVIDE the party . What an ego !

Hillary '08

Even a kid with only 6th grade knows it is absolutely wrong to deny people's right...

So let people exercise their own right to vote and let all the voice be heard...

Obama is making his "triumphant march" with the complicity of the biased media. Well, if he swipes the nomination from Sen. Clinton, he will crash and burn in November and his delusional messianic power to "heal" won't save him from this implosion. The "triumphant march" will eventually end with the Democratic Party train wreck because of his raw ambition. McCain will be president.

The Democratic nomination process calls for all states to vote and if the candidates are short in delegates for the nomination, then the superdelegates select the best experienced, qualified candidate using their independent judgment. Qualifications, not skin color or race, should be the unyielding principle, just like the rule of law. Sen. Clinton is the best experienced, qualified presidential candidate.

After hearing what this pesant hillary said today, millions of blacks wont ever vote for a dem again!

HILLARY IS DIVIDING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS BEWARE, SHE MAY COME BACK TO HUNT ALL OF YOU

WELL HERE IS ANOTHER FACT FOR YOU! BLACKS HAVE SUPPORTED DEMS WHITE CANDIDATES FOREVER! 90% PLUS FOR ALL OF THEM! there wont be another white dem president for decades because we black people see just how much you support us!
just another fact for you!

These two states are small states.

Hillary has already told us that small states are REALLY insignificant and meaningless and their voters don't count.

Has something changed?

Now Hillary is saying small states are REALLY important. I can't keep up with all her shape shifting positions.

It is like she is channeling Mitt Romney.

Obama the great Uniter of the democratic party should have no problem winning WV and KY, Wright? Obama pulls together all people, and he reaches across party lines, Wright? It should be interesting to see the great Uniter in action in the next few weeks. Of course, Obama doesn't have to really try with the voters of WV and KY, because according to Donna Brazile, they are not part of the "new democratic party". Party on!

ARE YOU AWARE THAT DEMS CAN NOT WIN ANY ELECTION WITHOUT THE BLACK VOTE! WHY ON EARTH WOULD WE SUPPORT YOU AFTER ALL OF THIS? JUST ANOTHER FACT!

bblack, don't give up on all of us, man. In my neighborhood, my precinct and my county, whites turned out in droves to support Obama 2-to-1 over Clinton. My kids drove in from college in order to caucus. It's not because he is black or white or both, but it is his message of change and hope that excited many of us. We're talking about race now with our friends of all colors, in bold and truthful terms. The haters on these blogs don't represent me, my family, my friends or anyone I know. I don't hate Hillary, I just don't like the way she plays the game.

True Truth, the votes count the same, white or black. Even yours.

Hill the Bosnian General is dividing the democratic party. She is dividing the great American people between: old, blue-colors, white, latinos, women. In Hill's world there is no black people, no young people, no native Americans, no college educated folks. All she has known in politics is "divide and rule" and that is what Obama wants to brign to an end and get America together to tackle real issues. God bless America and God bless obama. OBAMA08.

If people thought Reps don't know how to handle economy, it would be too naive..

Reps has a lot of economy elites such as Greenspan who has served as economy US across both Rep and Dem's administration...

The bottom line is who will be benefited: rep and dem have a complete different approach to economy: rep prefers tax cut and less government control while dems perfers a larger goverment and more government control, which typically leads to tax increase...

So who will have a better approach to solve our economic problem?? No one has a clear answer and even economists are not sure which one is the best!

So can Dems really win over economy issue?? It is still a big question!! It would be worse if Dems' nominee is the least experienced....

Dems can't win over national security and foriegn policies even the War on Iraq...

No one will be expected to withdraw troops from Iraq in the near term because it is a national interest and international security matter.....The whole world just can't afford another chaos in Mid-east and the entire global economy will be shaking due to the high oil demand from Mid-east...

Not mentioning a divided Desm is a defeated Dems for sure...

I am a proud Muslim American and I will vote for my brother Barack Hussein Obama. He is the only one capable to a peace the American Imperialism and unify the Muslims brotherhood around the world.

Ala is with Barack Hussein Obama

Yes we can 2008!!

ObamaforPresident,

Yes, there are a large amount of whites supporting while there are a larger amount of AA still supproting Hillary even just 10%..

It is democracy and majority matters...

WHAT IF BLACK PEOPLE TURNED ON THIS COUNTRY! WHAT IF BLACK PEOPLE DECIDED ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! THE WORLD DOSENT HATE BLACK AMERICA! THE WORLD HATES WHITE AMERICA! WHITE PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO QUESTION THE FACT THAT OBAMA IS RECIEVING 90% OF THE BLACK VOTE! HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET THAT BLACKS HAVE SUPPORTED THIS PARTY AT 90% FOR ALL WHITE DEMS! OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BLACKS HAVE WATCHED THE BOARDS AND WE SEE WHERE WE STAND SO DONT BE SUPRISED IF THERE IS A LARGE(90%) CHANGE OF HART FOR THIS RACIST PARTY! THIS ISNT JUST TALK EITHER!

bblack,

There is nothing 90% AA voting for Obama.. Obama should be proud of this record...

However, America is democracy and every one has the right to voice himself and the majority matters...

Hey bblack, -- I really hope that if Obama wins he can eradicate the inner cities crime, elevate the standard or living for the black areas and teach some manners to the brothas as he "really" did in Illinois and Chicago, right? He can also turn down the quotas systems and pacify Sharpton and Jessie,no more riots, no more marches, so those are the real changes we all are waiting for. No
How many students have been killed in Chicago this past years? they all were not far from where Obama has his mansion.

well than i would say that bill should be happy/proud of the 90% he recieved from the black community!
majority maters but united we stand and devide we fall! people like you keep deviding and america will keep falling!

So Obama is giving up W. Virginia and Kentucky, ha. Of course since those states don't have large school campuses, rich whites and large African American population. What does it say to you?

Very interesting, the DCN and Obama campaign are not only limiting FLA and Michigan and trying very very hard to nominated Obama before the process ends but also now he is not even campaigning in W.V and Kentucky, probably way to many uneducated white people, to many old women, and bitter blue collars?

bblack,

The issue is that a lot of people have not convinced he is the best qualified person to be US president and even some of them very dislike him based on personal feeling?

So the biggest task Obama has to accomplish is: how can he convince the rest of Dems he will be the best one to be qualifed as CIC and the best chance to win over W.H.??

As mentioned before, his winning pattern has not made a breakthough to his consistent pattern yet??

He admitted this time again in this topic: he just can't and won't be able to break his own pattern- he won't win WV and KY...

There won't be an upset thats why experts want her out

MARY_WV what would it say to you if when hillary goes to the inner cities of
of america and as she has given up the desendants of slaves becuse they dont make 109,000,000 in eight years! arent"white eneough" to get jobs or a decent education? what do you say to that?

So what if he doesn't win ns and ky there worth what 40 to 50 delegates combimed. Do the math if she won all the delgates from all the remaining states she would barley be ahead. Scince it isn't a winner take all system the mentioned scenario won't happen and she'll still lose so why drag it out? Shes broke anyway and the press wil quit covering her soon just like the repubs ignore her.

No pail_chicago nice on your part! mccain has sat by and watched! but he is your ideal of a leader?

One word to describe BO:

Wimp.

Is he going to fight for your interests? He will say anything to get elected.

Yet her chances of catching Obama in delegates or the popular vote died on May 6

Obama won North Carolina by 232,700 votes, topping Clinton's 214,000-vote margin of victory in Pennsylvania on April 22 and leaving him with a lead of more than 800,000 votes in contested primaries and caucuses.

As to GWB, GWB is no wimp - he only makes boneheaded decisions. Wait, that sounds familiar.

Joe - if you discard MI and FL, as BO wants to do.

It didn't take long for the media Obama lovers to annoint him and trash Clinton as usual.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. At the same time, Hillary Clinton has a five-point lead over McCain, 48% to 43%. This is the ninth consecutive day that Clinton has outperformed Obama in the general election match-ups

I really have to laugh at poor people who call themselves Republican. How stupid do you have to be to think that Repbulicans give a squat about you??? In case you haven't noticed, when a Republican is in office, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. DUH!!!!! Get your heads out of the sand and learn something.

I hope all the Obama voters remember who they voted for then they are forgotten by him.

Best of luck to you all
McCain for me

bblack,

If you, as BO does it constantly, keep trashing Bill Clinton's administration which has brought unprecedented peace and prosperity to this country, you are no dems, but simply doing a republican's hitting job.

You, BO and BO supporters, use this dirty typical political trick to hit one Clinton to implicate another Clinton.

For that, your candidate does not deserve the support of real democrats.

Still the only way she wins is if she gets all delegates from florida and mich. And lets not forget it is not barack obama that said these states shouldn't count. It's not his fault she had moron stratagists who can't even read a rule book. Good article on yahoo about 5 things Hillary messed up on check it out. Maybe she can blame someone else that she is losing.

Oh My...A sign of defeat? Is this a politician or someone who will defend our interests?

Did I say loseing I ment lost. SHE HAS LOST!!!! IT'S OVER!!!

Could someone explain to me why the problems with the Florida and Michigan vote are Obama's fault?

Obama just knows he can't win alone. She is a better candidate and is above McCain 48-41. They better get together..Time to give in Obama....

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. At the same time, Hillary Clinton has a five-point lead over McCain, 48% to 43%. This is the ninth consecutive day that Clinton has outperformed Obama in the general election match-ups.

louielouie-

His campaign lawyers are the ones who have turned down all of the attempts to revote, and his campaign managers have refused to negotiate in any talks about distribution.

Scoreboard:
2025 needed to win

Obama's state wins 32 lost 16, Delegate count 1852 +/-.

Clinton's state wins 16 lost 32,
Delegate count 1690 +/-.

Obama v McCain this November

Louielouie... They are not his fault. Hillary just spins it to make it sound like it is. Half her insiders are to blame. Some of the people that are at fault even work on her campain.

She should stay in until the end. But venomous attacks from either side don't help anyone. And venomous words in here don't help anyone either.

Probably true what he says since there are not sufficient blacks in those States to throw the election his way. The Americans in West Virginia and Kentucky are your working class people who see Hillary as the party's nominee who will solve their problems and concerns. Sorry, but that is the way of this democractic nomination process, and it is best if the party leaders and super delegates stay out of the way of the democratic voters. The party is terribly fractured without more interference.

And by "end" I mean June 3rd.

She should stay in because she can come with in 20 del of him

It seems BO's hypothesis was wrong after all, HRC's supporters are poor, bitter, less-educated? It seems that Emily is pretty smart, smarter than any BO supporters on this list.

I am going for Clinton all the way !!
I know a lot of people that are just like me: Loyal Democrats that will become Independents. Because quite frankly I don't even recognize what I considered to be my party any longer. What was once the party of the content of one's character has become the party of the color of one's skin. And I object to this strenuously and will fight it with every fiber of my being regardless of who becomes the nominee.

The democratic party will cease to exist IF OBAMA is the nominee. Those of you who wrote the voters have spoken, I say yes, and there are quite a bit for Clinton. This needs to be decided at the Convention. I want to know why they want to rush it!!!! What is their reason. Look back there have been many times where the convention decides the nominee. Why is OBAMA rushing it?????

More spin from the Clinton campers. Just like the delegates from MI. How does it feel now MI? Hillary sold you guys out today by not accepting the deal that MI proposed to the DNC LOL Are you guys STILL going to maintain that she is speaking for you? That SHE wants your vote to count LOL or are yu finally going to accept that YOU ONLY count if it is better for HER? Actions, as always, speak louder than words.

Clinton has LOST the PLEDGED delegates, she has LOST the popular vote, she has ONLY won 15 states out of 23 and she is now close to LOSING the superdelegate lead and some pin head wants to know why no one wants to wait until the convention? IT'S OVER.

My father was a fighter. Sometimes he won and sometimes he lost. But when he believed in something and knew it was right he gave it everything he had. Many times it put a financial stress on our family. But my father did what he knew he must. And as he lay in bed a day before he died he was calling business associates working up a new product with them. To some in my family it seemed as if he was being foolish. Because even he knew he was dying. But to me he demonstrated a strength that I can only hope to emulate in my own life.

Some things are worth fighting for. And even when you know that the potential for certain failure is right around the corner you can't give in. Hillary Clinton is a fighter. She fights for American issues, not just Democratic issues. So whatever happens we need to join in her fight. She is THE One !!

It just shows how fickle polls are. Not only is there a statistical error, opinions can change with every news bit, every primary, every speech. Clinton beat McCain by 3.9 and Obama beats McCain by 2.6. Statistically within error range (advantage still Clinton). When Clinton had a big head to head win, every news show (and the Clinton campaign) kept boasting about her superior electability. Now that it is close and the trend is in Obama's favor, we don't hear anything about. Generally speaking, I would be careful using the head-to-head as an electability argument for either candidate, given how quickly it changes. Between now and Nov, today's numbers will become meaningless.

Emily, your post is so how I feel it makes me sad but you are so right about this election.

Obama compares himself to Lincoln, yet he won't do a Lincoln debate.

Obama compares himself to JFK because he claims that he, too, has "vision" --but Obama's vision is the opposite of JFK's. Obama wants to END the research and development of space. Obama kills the dream, while JFK made dreams a reality. Obama is blind to the bigger picture, JFK wasn't.

Obama compares himself to MLK yet he more closely resembles Malcolm X.

Rev Wright - Obama's 20 year pastor -- said, "the chickens have come home to roost" which was a line made famous by Malcolm X.

After President Kennedy had been assassinated, Malcolm X said that it was a case of "the chickens coming home to roost." He added that "Chickens coming home to roost never made me sad. It only made me glad." This remark prompted a widespread public outcry."

Instead of consoling his congregation after the devastation of 9/11, Rev Wright made a political statement which put the blame on America and NOT on the terrorists.

Obama & his wife have demonstrated that they more closely believe like their pastor and less like the rest of America. This is a huge problem. This will come up again & again should Obama take the nomination.

Clinton is the best choice without a doubt.

Anyone in W.VA or Kentucky contemplating voting for Obama needs to research the following names: Auchi, Khalidi, Ayers, and the Emir of Qatar. We all already know Wright went to Libya with Farrakhan to meet Mumar Khadafi.

Hillary is overcoming two huge obstacles the DNC CREATED. First they chastised the elected officials of FLA and MI by penalizing the voters. Second, this is the first time in history delegates were not awarded Winner Take ALL. If it was done the historical way (TAKE ALL), Hillary would have it sewn up. Here's the problem with that...you NEED CA, NY, NJ, OH, Mass. to win as a DEM in the general election. She's carried them all. He's won more RED states, those which will NOT vote DEM likely in the fall. Lots of Clinton supporters won't support him in the DEEP BLUE states listed above. Go to Wikipedia and look at an ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP, by searching for US presidential election. There's no chance I will vote for him...Dem for 40 years.

He's untested, he's a very typical Chicago-style politician despite his platform rhetoric, he has way too many very questionable islamic connections (no 'Tony' Rezko isn't italian), he's deceitful (he does take contributions from special interests and he lied about the nuclear legislation which never passed.)

So she comes within 20. She still LOSES!
This is just dumb now. She's not a fighter she's spoiled and feels like she desrves to be in the white house. I have to admit though. I have never liked Hillary she just does things to get popular. She has no spine look at the gas tax issue her gun control issues. She can't pump gas, and I don't know about you but this whole I'm in touch with the middle class is BS too. She can loan her campain 11 millon dollars. I'm middle class I don't have one friend that could do that. She can't pump gas she is the one out of touch! SHES LOST GET OVER IT!!

It really doesn't look good for the democrats that the heir apparent can't win the majority of democrats in WV and KY after he has declared himself the victor.
I hope the percentages voting for Hillary keep getting bigger and bigger while Obama gets weaker and weaker.

HE LOOKS LIKE KENNEDY HE IS PLAIN BRILLIANT, ONE OF US but with a great vision and BRAIN to UNITE and make this nation the #1 nation we are supposed to be, not this declining empire ruled by the RICh like clintons
WE LOVE YOU OBAMA, OBAMA=HUMANITY=UNITY=REAL PEOPLE= THE FUTURE!

Every Republican knows Hillary is the easier to beat than Obama. Just look at Rush Limbaugh and he told all the Republicans to change party and vote for Hillary. The Republicans hate The Clinton's with passion and they will do everything to keep her out of the White House. So, the Republicans rather have Hillary running against McCain.

Hillary's husband Bill, as a former President and 100+ millionaire, tried to buy this election for his wife.

With $11 million dollars of her own money, plus an army of Bill's pals collecting record donations...she blew it.

She was a lousy campaigner, a bad decision maker, and basically a mean spirited idiot.

She chose gal pal's over talent. To be the incumbent, when we wanted change. To be hawkish on a war...at first trying to prove a woman could be tough, and then later, finding that with Obama's insurmountable lead, her only ground was to go racist, and suggest a black cannot be elected.

How far she has fallen, now running around West Virginia and Kentucky, hoping some old KKK magic might revive her campaign.

Good riddens to bad rubbish.

What strikes me the most about this is the phrase "to avoid the political consequences of chosing the wrong one." So the superdelegates aren't interested in the best interests of our country. They are much more concerned with their political futures. They want to make sure they pick the side of the winner so that they can share in the spoils. That is why Hillary Clinton is the decency that lacks Obama. It is so obvious.

Emily - I don't think anyone is forcing Hillary out of the Race. People, do however, want her to act like a grown up.

She tried hard but is virtually mathmatically eliminated. This is just a fact.

Point to the Math does not make one an elitist.

Obama seems to surround himself with "whites"; does he have any close "black" friends? Maybe he had to stay in that church in order to show he has contacts with blacks. I sense he may actually have contempt for the majority of blacks. Obama is becoming to biggest traitor of his own. Thank God he wont make it.

The super's are there to protect us from a nominee who can't win in the GE but the elitist who run the show like Kennedy ,Peloai,Kerry can't control Clinton like they can Obama and believe me when they control from the far left everybody loses.

She should stay until the end and nobody has the right to tell to get out. Why Obama is afraid to fight to the end? Look at Jesse Jackon, Ted Kennedy and other used to fight to the convention and no pundits or other tell them to stop the fight. Are they sexist?

You know, I have asked myself the same question. Why don't we see any of his friends (other than Wright, Rezko, and Ayers)? Usually friends come out of the woodwork--Hillary has a ton of them, many of whom have been her best friends for 30 years (which to me is always a good sign as to what kind of person she is to keep all those loyal friends).

Obama can't win th
