Obama's people held out the results in that one county closest to Chicago on purpose last night, for no other reason than to make sure Hillary didn't get a win in prime time. The final results didn't come in until 1:30 EST. Should Hillary get out? Why, if Obama is this evil, there's a good chance he's done other stuff like this that will sink him, and she could still get the nomination. I wouldn't get out.

Ceeyes9:15AMMay 7th 2008

And so will the US when Obama becomes prez.

Joyce9:52AMMay 7th 2008

Hillary should fight to the bitter end. Obama cannot win against McCain. Blacks voted for "one of their own" rather than qualifications. The media bias & manipulation is thoroughly disgusting. America should be above such tactics, but this campaign has indicated it is not. Sexism continues on, but there is fear when it comes to racism. Hillary is for change just as much as Obama, but the media doesn't focus on her efforts; she is only bashed. In the general election I will cast my vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. I'm sick & tired of the DNC as the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. KEEP FIGHTING, HILLARY! I'M FOR YOU ALL THE WAY!

Illinois Dem9:53AMMay 7th 2008

Prediction:

Strong call for her to withdraw.
Superdelegates will be announced in droves
Hillary withdraws

THEN MR. OBAMA IS REALLY VETTED. Bombshell drops about this guy/game over for the Dems.

Keep going supers/DNC/Democratic Party with your mesiah. The republicans are waiting on you!

I will laugh my ass off when your Change agent falls in disgrace.

There is more out there on this guy - wait and see.

twogoetoo10:24AMMay 7th 2008

Bring on the PREACHER WRIGHT, and see the real OBAMA, thing is NO ONE can do any promises unless it pass in the house all the way,
As for BRAINS, Hillary has it all, Blacks backs blacks only because of race, not brains,
It like I had a dream, now we have a change,

I just can’t understand people that they are even considering putting the Clinton’s back in the White House after all of scandals they created. They even created scandals when they were leaving the White House, such as taking furniture, silverware. From the Vincent Foster, the McDougal’s, (and we want HILLARY handling the countries REAL ESTATE issues –no way) the very tacky pardons that were granted with help from Hillary’s brother Hugh Rodham and Bill’s brother Roger Clinton. There were U.S. Senators such as House Government Reform Committee Chairman Dan Burton, R-Indiana were embarrassed and appalled at those pardons. The Pittsburgh Tribune said the cover-up that followed Foster's death is one of many compelling reasons Hillary Clinton must be defeated if she ever again runs for public office. And we note that while Vince Foster's family and friends may still mourn him, his death — and the scandal that still clings to Hillary — may save the country from the mistake of her campaigning for the presidency. Let's not forget Bill, with his countless women scandals. What will he be doing this time if he went back to the White House and free to do whatever? However Americans feel about Mr. and Mrs. Bush, at least we DO have class and dignity in the White House. Bringing the Clinton’s back would be a sheer disaster and nothing to be proud of. There’s a reason the Clinton’s never unveiled everyone who contributed to the Clinton Library.

The picture between with Pastor Wright and Barack Obama is nothing. That relationship got all of the publicity for what? Others in his church also said they haven't known Pastor Wright to speak like in this in the past, so how is Obama supposed to know his Pastor was get to this level? He wanted to remain loyal until he could no longer. Besides, even though the Pastor turned out to have strange thoughts, so what? The Pastor isn’t a violent man, he doesn’t produce dangerous people on the streets, he’s just a kook; he doesn’t impact anything so why did matter what relationship they had, if people would think about it a minute, what does anyone care what his Minister says, even Obama did stay with him, doesn’t bother me what he hears on Sunday, just fix the Nations problem from Monday through Saturday if he were the President. Now if Pastor comes out and speaks, who cares, Obama finally rid himself of Pastor Wright. Besides, it was personal problem anyway, has nothing to do with his run for the presidency. Those calling Obama an elitist are a joke, considering he and his wife, Michelle just finished paying off there student loans 3 years ago. How did they turn into elites that fast? These political games are THIS stupid and ridiculous? Just find out the facts first people. If the Wright issue and the ‘bitter’ comment (which was ridicules because people knew what Obama was TRYING to say and political pundits blew that out of proportion, they know he’s good guy, c’mon) are the ONLY problems people have with him, then he’ll be fine and will represent the Democratic Party for President.

But this relationship doesn't even compare to the Clinton's numerous seedy relationships along with mysterious deaths they encountered. Hillary had a smiling picture with a known drug lord Jorge Cabrera and Bill's own brother was in jail for cocaine. I guess we're supposed FORGET all of the years they made a mockery of the White House and they were adults, people want put those adults back in Washington?

The Clinton’s help bring free trade to the U.S., that’s great, we watched American jobs go right out the window. Doesn’t anyone remember this? That’s I will never understand Ohio, whose been hurt severely by NAFTA, for voting for the Clinton’s, the couple that has contributed to this. These are some of many reasons Hillary has very low honesty rating. They don’t trust her. She cannot pump gas and can’t operate a coffee machine and she tries to call Obama an elite and says he’s out of touch, Hillary please stop!
The following site is one of many that have a list of all of the Clinton’s shenanigans in Washington: http://members.tripod.com/~GOPcapitalist/clinton-scandals.html#Lincoln
The GOP aren’t stupid, this why such positive words come out their mouths about Hillary. They want her to win so McCain would have the inside track. The GOP knows how to hit the Clintons but they feared Obama because the Pastor & ‘bitter’ comments were all they had to use. They admit they don’t know much about Obama, so they don’t know which way to hit him. That’s what you want if you’re a boxer, a candidate to confuse your opponent. They don’t have entire web pages of detrimental material like they have on Hillary. The GOP knows what there doing. Throughout the nineties, Rush always hated the Clintons and now he is praising Hillary, this is why he wants her to win the primary so McCain can beat her-hasn’t anyone realized this YET?. This is how the GOP wins their Presidential Elections year after year. This is how they will do it again unless Democrats get their act together and finally get their nominee out on the stump competing one on one against McCain. This Primary needs to come to an end, finally.


To me, this couldn't be any clearer; this should an election between John McCain and Barack Obama, period. Hillary has been there already and we've gone down that road. It's time for a new beginning and the shaky past needs to be left far behind.

bonnie11:04AMMay 7th 2008

I am another Democrate who WILL vote Mc Cain if Barama gets nomination. I have to believe I'm not alone.

indy4hillary11:06AMMay 7th 2008

Obama won the Black vote again!! Congrats to him, give him the job!!!!

Wait....wasn't he suppose to win Indiana and lost? Wasn't he suppose to win NC by a 14% margin based on race demographics and did? Maybe we need to see what the last 6 races have to say before we tell HRC to go home. Hard to consider the NC win a shift in momentum. Admittedly it will be much easier for BHO to win the last races & the white votes if he runs alone and that was his game plan from the word GO.... I take it back.... Don't give Obama the job.... yet

Dottie11:12AMMay 7th 2008

Bonnie your are a fool to vote McCain More boys will be killed and the cost will bankrupt America.
McCain will continue the war and you will lose everything you own paying for gas and food
Wise Up

goldiedenver11:13AMMay 7th 2008

SHE CAN'T WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to this web site and do the math. Hillary would have to win 77%+ of the remaining delegates to win the nomination. It can't be done. Drop out show some class!!! It is over!

SweetPea11:20AMMay 7th 2008

I cannot beleive that this joker has a snow ball chance in hell of becoming our next President. My question is since all blacks call themselves "African American",maybe America will be renamed African America. the voting last night was a farce. One minute Hillary way an icon over him and he next neck on neck. Those 11,000 votes should not have been counted as they came in after the polls were closed and what is the old saying "if it walks like a duck and looks like a duck then it must be a duck. Bush put the Country in a recession and quite possibly in a depression if it keeps up as well as made our Nation look illiterate and weak thus we are no longer considered a super power in their eyes. The dollar has fallen down so far that I don´t know how the military families make it in Europe today. I seee and hear people laugh and make fun or our elite government officials and can´t say anything because it is true. Now this. Well if it comes to pass then there will be not only black people in the white house but also a HUGE black cloud over the White house. What comes next is anybodies bet.There must be a way to comvince Hillary not to throw in the towel and maybe a miricle will happen and this contastrope can be prevented. He just doesn´t have he experience to fill this job. There is something about this man I don´t trust.

think11:22AMMay 7th 2008

What's the rush? So the people of Oregon, Kentucky, West Virginia, Montana etc don't count? You want to take away their vote just like Michigan and Florida?
No way! With the race this close all votes should count along with a fair way to run a primary in MI and FL. This excuse of not having the money by the DNC is an insult. "I'm sorry, we don't have enough money to count your vote" Only Hillary even tries to get them counted, someway, somehow.
Come on people of the next primaries, and look at total votes, best chance to beat McCain and what the drift really is. Hillary is the only choice. Do you really believe Obama never heard racist remarks from his pastor in 20 years? That is a flat out lie!
Go Hillary!

mimi11:27AMMay 7th 2008

Lets take it easy here about Sen. Clinton....I for one have a tremendous amount of admiration for her and the fortitude she had to muster up despite the urgency to get out. It looks evident now that she cannot catch up to Obama and that is what I am sure she knows, so I know she will do the right thing when she decides the time is right.....this is a democracy and she has a right to continue on. The idea that this is "hurting" Obama seems futile since I believe he will encounter much more from Mc Cain and the GOP. The bottom line is if Obama can't handle this process how the heck is he going to beat the GOP? One more thing, Obama is going to need Clinton and her constituency to win the white house, so I am curious how he treats her from here on out.....afterall he cannot win with just the black vote, the youngsters, and the latte group. We have to remember, Obama did harm to himself with this Wright issue, and this is a vetting process; lets hope nothing else comes up from Obama's past......better now then later. Also I do believe Florida and Michigan need to be resolved....just maybe this is Clinton's "hail mary"....we'll see.

Illinois Dem11:45AMMay 7th 2008

Lake County, Indiana - Gary, Indiana - Chicago politics at its finest.

Obama has won 100% of the caucuses - anyone notice?

Wonder how????? Complaints about the Obama supporters/voters have been filed. Has anyone done a damn thing - no.

Nor are they going to - folks what you are witnessing is just the beginning of how things will be run under his leadership. Study Chicago - you will know what the entire country will turn into.

stone thrower12:18PMMay 7th 2008

It is a shame that it took a black person to run for president to get so many minorities to register to vote, after all their struggles, they should have been voting way before now. That is whats part of the problem of today, they didn't vote in the past. So many ppl in other countries will never have the right to vote. Most of them do nothing but fuss&cuss about 'the system',and 'the man'. Your life is what YOU make of it not what other ppl make of it for YOU. Goes to show sometimes ppl choose their own battles, look at the ppl in Somalia, and then ppl in the USA bitch about this country, dont like the system well help change it, dont vote dont bitch.God blees the USA and its fellowmen(and women)

Joyce felty12:25PMMay 7th 2008

I want Hillary to continue on. She is the only one among the three that can do the job. As I remember the Republicans started on Bill and Hillary on day one. They never proved anything against either one of them. All they did was waste over 50 million dollars of taxpayers money. I don't think Obama can debate very well or answer questions without stuttering around. He can't seem to answer straight away. If all people can't be covered in Health Care then what is the point. He can't make much of a change if congress and the senate doesn't agree with him. He can't fire these people and start over. So just what is the big change going to be? Get someone in the office that at least knows there way around. If Obama never knew what Wright stood for then he must not of gone to church very much in the last 20 years. Wright is just stirring the pot of hatred.
I wish I knew who Bill Cosby was voting for, him I trust. Also Colin Powell. He is an honest and decent man that was run over and used by the Bush Administration. I wonder where he stands now? Iam a white 75 year old women and have heard quite a few
campaign speeches over the years. Obama just doesn't ring true. He is saying change when he really can't change much if anything.

John12:37PMMay 7th 2008

Seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan.

charlescph5512:48PMMay 7th 2008

I'm just wondering if this isn't about race, how come we don't see the white side of Obama's family, getting out the vote for him. surely he had aunt's ,uncle's,cousin's etc. yet not a peep
out of that side ....has he locked them all up so they can't hurt his black vote. One other thing are we supposed to be stupid to believe he was a member of that church for 20 years and he never knew Wright was and still is a racist.(Maybe after the election and he loses he can become the minister of that church, he preaches so well now).one other thing first Obama came out and said he never heard the Rev. racist remarks even through he was a member of the church for twenty years, Then in his speech he admits to hearing it but says he doesn't approve of it. Well if he doesn't approve of it, he had twenty years to complain or find another church. Don't be stupid people he's caught in a lie and is toast now. Let me try to explain why I'm voting for Hillary Clinton I only have one vote and with that vote I can get two presidents with it. I get Hillary and I get Bill are you so stupid to forget how well our economy was under his watch and I think she's smart enough to ask his advice or even put him in charge of coming up with a economic plan (sort of like when he put her in charge of a health care package. so he got a B-job, J.F.K. got more than a B-job. Our gas prices weren't rising every other day- milk and bread prices were steady, He left our economy in the black, till Bush got his hands in the pot, So my dream ticket is Hillary president, Colin Powell vice president who is well respected around the world and would love to get even with Bush for setting him up with false info to take to the UN. Now if you think about this it does make sense. One more thing before I go all of the people saying what a great speech Obama made yesterday, well all it was just a cover your ass speech, If he did in fact condemn Wrights comments all he spoke of was race ( who's playing the race card seems like his camp is) why is it ok for him to speak of race but don't let any others or your a racists, Not once in his speech did he address the hatred his preacher has for America, REMEMBER GODDAMM AMERICA

ONE MORE THING I THINK HILLARY SHOULD GO INDENPENDENT IF NOT NONMINATED, IF SHE LOVES THIS COUNTRY. JUST TO ENSURE HUSSAIN DOESN'T GET ELECTED, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE HE WOULD,HILLARY JUST MIGHT WIN AS A INDEPENDENT


ONE OTHER THING IT MAKES ME SICK THAT BLACKS VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE OF COLOR AND NOT BECAUSE OF ISSUE;S REMEMBER HE'S ONLY PART BLACK, WHAT WE CALL THEM AROUND HERE IS WIG-GERS HALF BLACKS HALF WHITE.

Carla1:04PMMay 7th 2008

Why is no one paying any attention to Hillary's hightly negative antics when she was First Lady and
before. She is a highly tuned political machine and will say or do whatever is necessary to get into the White House. After all, she did stay with Bill.
