Hey, great news from Alabama - but terrible news right now from Arkansas and Tennessee with those tornados.
I am getting so tired of hearing of whether or not Barack Obama is getting the delegates he wants...and so it the rest of my group of your listening audience!
And Chris, when did you fall in love with Barack? Listening to you stick up for him when Fineman said the Kennedy name just isn't what it used to be. You said, wait, on California when referring to the Latino vote.
Just maybe the Clinton camp is doing better than they expected, also, Chuck Todd.
Mr. Abrams was correct last night when he said the inside media is favorable to Obama some 80%+ of the time.......
Alllllabama, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.
Give it a rest, guys. Chris just declared Mass. a huge upset for Hillary, even though she was favored to win in the polls. Huh? They're just bumbling through the  best way they know how.
Linda Becker, Toledo, OH --Quit whining. You act as though smart people can't sort things out for them selves by getting their news from multiple sources. None of my friends listens to one monolithic news source. Take every thing with a grain of salt.
I am amazed at the volume and shrillness of Clinton supporters yelling "NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! IT'S HER TURN! IT'S HER TURN!
Let the process run it's course and join me in supporting the nominee of the party who ever that is...unless your intention is to go home an pout if the choice dosen't suit you.
Poor Obamarama

Even with the endorsement of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and the endorsement of Massachusetts two United States Senators.  One being Ted Kennedy, you know, he’s a 45 year veteran of the US Senate.   Wow, has it only been 45 years.  Talk about a blast from the past not to mention someone being connected and part of the Washington establishment.  And lets not forget about the other US Senator from Massachusetts, John Kerry, who has been in the US Senate for 23 years, ok so he’s only half as connected as Ted Kennedy, and ran in 2004 as the Democratic nominee and lost.

I guess all of those big name, hugely Washington D.C. connected and established representations of the past don’t amount to much after all!

Go Hillary!
Al of you are truly missing the real beauty of what is happening out there.  Just count the ballots for all democrats and then count the ballots for all republicans.  The Dems have more votes in those states traditionally RED.  IF this repeats in November, the Dems will take back the house.  It's that whole can't see the forest because of the tree mentality.  Keep with that and RED has a chance. A small one but still a chance.
This is exactly what the Democratic party needs to win the White House back. Both Obama/Clinton can win once they unite!
