What about the 3 ballot boxes that were hidden to the guy whose spouse is a HIllary supporter.Obama was ahead in votes count and they stopped it and spinned it so thay can catch the fish in the muddy water.They stole this state from Obama. HIllary will do anything and say anything to win. What a shameful acts by HIllary. After loosing 8 straight states she did not show any courtesy to acknowledge the defeat until yesterday.She is not the person who will bring the unity and transperancy in the White HOuse. IT is too secrative for everything with BIll and HIll. They do not want to disclose her records as first lady nor they want to publish her tax record. If she is so right whats the problem to disclose. It is still time for us to aviod another mess is White House.

Patricia Baker Buffalo, NY — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:21:34 GMT

I'm rooting for Hillary. When she speaks she brings up information like she's reciting from Google. Obama is slick/smooth. I want experience not glib speaking. I like him very much but, he's something that sweeps in every few years. Remember President Kennedy? She's earnest. I don't care who she married. I don't judge her. If she can do what she does at home, abroad,here in New York State. That's fine with me. When Ms. Couric of 60 minutes asked the same question as Mr. Kraft. you could see Couric was moving toward asking more fluffy questions. Hillary doesn't need that. She can hold her own anywhere, even if you insult her. Yes, the media is insulting. Frankly,with the way men have been running things, I'd be glad to see a women for a change. Go Hillary!

Clinton wins New Mexico

the truth — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:24:11 GMT

this is nothing. it is 1.1 % difference. almost an equal split on the popular vote which still leaves her behind in the category. she may win the most delegates, she may not depending on the princinct breakdown. the thing that should be noticed is she went into this state with a double digit lead and a favorabla percentage of the latino vote in her favor. obama broadened his base in this state. no large african-american vote here. this is a very telling story. hillary now has 11 states won and obama has won 21.

congratulation hillary.

go obama!!!

New Mexico primary is stolen by Hillary.

What about the 3 ballot boxes that were hidden to the guy whose spouse is a Hillary supporter. They had plenty of time to tamper in the vote counts.Obama was ahead in votes count and they stopped it and spinned it so they can catch the fish in the muddy water. They stole this state from Obama. Hillary will do anything and say anything to win. What a shameful acts by Hillary. After loosing 8 straight states she did not show any courtesy to acknowledge the defeat until yesterday. She is not the person who will bring the unity and transparency in the White House. IT is too secretive for everything with Bill and Hill. They do not want to disclose her records as first lady nor do they want to publish her tax record. If she is so right what’s the problem to disclose. It is still time for us to avoid another mess is White House.

A sound thrashing! The 1.1% spread was way beyond expectations of a 1.0% spread and shows weakening support for Obama, (despite being 9 days old). Hillary really ate into the base that Obama had not yet stolen from her in the subsequent 9 days!

Clinton wins New Mexico

Diamond — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:00:02 GMT

A difference of 1700 votes - probably added when the ballot box was taken home by a clinton supporter. No change in delegates awarded.

But watch this: Clinton will hold an emergency rally to celebrate this. Ha ha ha ha! The woman is so desperate for anything that smells like good news.

I am glad that these votes have been counted and declared. But, what about the Florida votes that were cast and counted a long time ago? And, what about Florida? 1.7 million voters have not been heard. Unless the RNC & DNC policies are changed, this could happen to you some day; regardless of your state or party affiliation. The DNC broke a contractual agreement with the democratic constituents in Florida to fight for their right to vote. You can read more at:

New Mexico, I applaud you for making sure that every vote was thoroughly counted and declared. That is true democracy in action. Thank you!

THE SENATOR CLINTON IS THE RIGHT CHOICE AND AT THE RIGHT TIME FOR THIS MIGHTY COUNTRY... OBAMA HAS TO WAITE AND IT IS A BAD FOR HIM TO SPOIL THE CHANCES OF DEMOCRAT AT THIS TIME AS THE PEOPLE ON HIS WAGON ARE OPPORTUNISTS. THOSE OPPORTUNISTS NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SHOW UP FOR BIG JOBS AND ASSIGNMENTS.... WATCH OUT PUBLIC.... AND HELP FOR THE GOOD CAUSE......

susan leff, niantic, ct — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:28:30 GMT

Finally, something positive about Hillary Clinton. In my opinion, she has the experience, if not the media-appointed halo. Why is the media so biased toward Obama in their coverage of the Democretic contest? There is still a race issue in this country, but unfortunately it is with the female race. If Clinton was the candidate with ties to Rezko instead of Obama, the media would have a field day. Go to the polls, ladies and show them what "CHANGE" is really about. And maybe, just maybe, the media will report THAT!!!

Elaine Swails — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:30:48 GMT

You continue to run Senator Clinton into the ground (Chris Matthews especially). Clinton has only missed 26 percent of voting in the Sentate where Obam has missed 44 percent of the voting. Every speech she makes you run down as no good where every speech given by Senator Obam as godliness. I watch MSNBC every night, but your continued dislike for Sen. Clinton is so obvious I do not know if I can continue to watch. You influence the voters much more than it should, but it happens. Shame on you!

Marineone, Washington DC — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:40:58 GMT

Close vote count. Both are showing their strengths. Separately, I noticed that Obama likes to quote AP as a source that lends credibility to his policies. However, the source of quotes about his policies is his own campaign. For example, a recent ad said that his policy on foreclosures would "stem foreclosures" AP 1/14/08. Well the AP was reporting on the what his campaign asserted not what the AP believes his plan will achieve.

Obama is a liar!

Sam Pratt — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:58:55 GMT

While Clinton can claim this as a (narrow) win, her popular vote is under 50% -- not much comfort, considering Obama's string of 60-plus-percent wins since Super Tuesday, which seems like an eternity ago.

More whining from, and on behalf of, the Clintons. How hard it must be for her to be the outsider candidate, with no cache to build up a campaign war chest, or name recognition, or a national reputation. She really has it so hard.

Sue R. — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:21:37 GMT

I was interested in the delegates in the WIN. I was very much so hoping that this would give Mrs. Clinton the upper hand on this. Every Causas Obama has won, I hate that, I want Votes, I want to know that America is holding the cards, not some underminding group, who has decided that this is the right person, in which includes some of America, I feel that Hillary is being cheated all the way down the line. Yet I want to make the statement I made when Bush was Appointed, "Remember You Chose", if Hillary doesn't win, remember you Chose.

Peggy Bair — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:28:55 GMT

Why have there been all these huge headlines every time Obama wins a state and this story about Clinton winning New Mexico is a little after-thought?

Obama has won states with fewer delegates and it's like Clinton's headquarters said, it's not the number of states, it's the number of delegates that count.

I'm just extremely aware of how heavily the press is favoring Obama -- and wonder if those in the press realize that the effect of that favoritism is as powerful as an ad campaign.

It would be really great if the people had a chance to vote before the press decides who has won. I wonder if that will ever happen in this democratic country that claims that the people have a voice. Seems more like the press has the voice.

POLpursun — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 02:14:00 GMT

First two points:

Re an Edwards endorsement: Given the various positions of the three as they presented themselves up to the point at which Edwards left, since he did not endorse Obama on leaving, that, and his disingenuous trial lawyer filibustering on the point of Obama voting "present" in Illinois suggested that he was no less self absorbed than Clinton. I HAD suggested, after Edwards' reaction to Kerry's endorsement of Obama, that should Obama become the nominee, Obama's pursuit of an Obama/Edwards ticket might not be a bad idea. No longer.

Re seating the FL and MI delegations: The rules were set. The candidates agreed. End of story. Thus any seating of those delegates should not inure to the advantage or disadvantage of either candidate in any way.

Second Clinton and Obama on the same ticket is a very bad idea. Quite frankly neither should offer, and, if it came to that, neither should accept. Reasons:

1. Their visions for the country and the functioning of the political system going forward seem entirely different.

2. Their visions of the primary role of potus are vastly different. Listening to them, succinctly, he envisions leader, she manager.

3. Bill Clinton. What will be awaiting one is Billary not Hillary. If they displayed the behaviour in public which they did, imagine what perniciousness one would face in, relatively speaking, behind-closed-door circumstances.

4. The significantly different mindsets brought to the task.

Looks like the establishment will know, in two to three weeks, whether or not it will get its lady. Obama is the underdog until he goes home or to the White house, whichever comes first.

Why is this news buried. I'm quite sure if Obama had won New Mexico, no matter how small a lead, it would have been Headline News. But instead, once again, the men get the headlines. Give us a break with this blatantly biased reporting. Anything negative about Clinton seems to grab the headlines, but a WIN AT THIS CRITICAL TIME is made to be minor news. There is still a democratic campaign with TWO candidates. Barak Obama has been given all the headlines all week long. The media is up to their tricks alright. The making of stars and celebrities seems to be their specialty, certainly not fair and balanced reporting. I and a lot of people are absolutely fed up with the media's rampant favoring of Obama from the get-go. I thought opinions were reserved for the editorial page, not the front page!!!

Uncounted Rio Arriba County ballots raise eyebrows

quote:
Several sources told me the ballot boxes spent the night at the home of Rio Arriba County Democratic Party Chair Theresa Martinez, whose state-lawmaker husband, Sen. Richard Martinez, endorsed Hillary Clinton. But Richard Martinez told Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Kate Nash that the boxes actually spent the night in the homes of three polling-place managers. He gave Nash no explanation for why the results from those ballots weren’t reported to the state party last night and why they were instead kept overnight in officials’ homes.

No wonder Richarson had to drop out. The handling of this primary by h-i-s election officials is disgraceful. There are reports that 3-boxes of ballots were in homes of some Clinton supporters. Over 17000 votes were disallowed.

Great win Hillary. 9 states, not bad...if Obama didn't have 19!

And by the way....this probably isn't important to you anyway huh? Considering caucuses don't really "represent the electorate", and are full of those pesky "activists". So this win is a totally uneventful to the NY Senator.

If I were in one of these caucuses I would be ticked at her.

Clinton wins New Mexico

Sean, Denver, Colorado — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:29:33 GMT

It's something to be said that out of 144,501 total votes in New Mexico, with it's huge Latino vote, that Clinton only won by 1709 votes when Latinos are supposed to be part of her "base". I think this is a sign of things to come for other states and especially Texas.

LA Lawrence, Colorado Springs, CO — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:29:58 GMT

Hmmm...yet she repeatedly put down the American caucus process, calling its participants "politcal activists" when Obama won all those caucuses. And now it's different when the caucus participants and Mexican and she wins? Americans really need to understand this mindset. I hold no disrespect for my Mexicans brothers and sisters, but why is she okay with the Mexican caucus but not Colorado and others?

I smell something very fishy with these New Mexico results! Obama had been in the lead by well over 1,000 votes when the results were first counted - and with nearly all the precincts reporting. Now Clinton has edged ahead by the same amount!!?
And why did it take so very long to count such a few number of votes? And yes, I'm talking about rigging here... everyone knows what happened in New Hampshire. And now it's spreading.

It is interesting that this has taken 2wks for them to count the vote. I wounder how many were added with boxes locked in somes home for 3 days?

Just something to look into.

Is this how the Clintons want to win the coveted Democratic nomination - by rigging of the vote? It is well known that an election official (and Clinton supporter) carried home 3 ballot boxes. And what did she do with them? Your guess is as good as mine!
And then they try to pressure the Dem. Party to include the Florida and Michigan "delegates" - when there really was no contest in those states!! Come ON!!
Is Florida going to be synonymous with rigging - by the Bushs and Clintons? Shame on them!

The New Mexico Democratic Party caucus may be tainted by three ballot boxes that spent the night in the home of the Rio Arriba County party chair or the homes of other local election officials instead of being reported to the state party.

Those ballots still haven’t been counted, but they have been retrieved by the state party.

Several sources told me the ballot boxes spent the night at the home of Rio Arriba County Democratic Party Chair Theresa Martinez, whose state-lawmaker husband, Sen. Richard Martinez, endorsed Hillary Clinton. But Richard Martinez told Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Kate Nash that the boxes actually spent the night in the homes of three polling-place managers. He gave Nash no explanation for why the results from those ballots weren’t reported to the state party last night and why they were instead kept overnight in officials’ homes.

Hillary may have won New Mexico but let's see the delegate split. I bet it is fairly even based on the votes both received.

GO HILLARY...This is great news even though it's a narrow margin. Add another state to the win column. Let's hope she does well in all the remaining contests. I'm looking forward to a Hillary & John Mc Cain match-up in the fall.

Darien, Raleigh, NC — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:49:57 GMT

Okay heres start the political, deceitful "trickery". Does is really take 9 days to count 17,000 provisional or absentee ballots when millions were counted in other states? Obama was declared the winner of that state 9 days ago and because of his obvious momentum...17,000 ballots not counted on that day gave Clinton the victory? If they steal this election from Obama im changing my affiliations to Conservative Independent from now own. If you look at his turn-outs and support this race should not be as close as it is. Even in the states she won {outside of 2}, he is right on here heels in count, but he blows here out the water in his victories....

Boy, this must have the media (aka Obama's cheerleader squad) stewing! I used to watch a lot of Hardball, Countdown and CNN programs but as much as I hate to say-they have become about as fair and balanced as FOX. I would think nationsl media types would be embarrassed by their obvious crush on Obama and all the passes they have given him. Just a pat on Barack's rump and a go get 'er attitude. But what do we have here? Mostly white, well paid males who clearly don't want a female as President so support Obaba. Olbermann made the comment last night about Clinton becoming more available to the press to one of his bobble head guests. If I were Senator Clinton, I'd tell most of these guys to take a leap.

I really don't see the reason for all the fuss on here. Let's look at the upcoming races:

Obama will win Wisconsin
Obama will win Hawaii
Obama will win Texas
Obama will split in Ohio
Obama will split in PA
Obama will win North Carolina
Obama will win any remaining States.

Either Hillary concedes after these races or Obama goes into the convention with a decent lead in delegates that will result in the majority of superdelegates putting him over the top for the nomination. It's all over. Why do people continue to argue.

Patrick Rover, York, PA — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:41:09 GMT

To all Who Doubt Hillary - She will prevail in this election and be the Democratic nomination for President. She has more substance than Obama and not just the fancy rhetoric. She "actually" knows what she is talking about and not just making flowery speeches about what must be done. She knows how to get things done and has proven it in her lifetime. I met her once (1997) many years ago in Turkey when she was visiting the military and civilian forces overseas and I can tell you she is a very confident and knowledgeable person. She would get more done in her first year than Obama talks about in his flowery rhetoric. Obama is a good man and will someday be a good if not fantastic president once he learns more about how to govern and how to put the metal to the floor instead of his tongue to the griddle. Hillary is the President that will bring America back to life, pride and respect.

How could someone want to vote for a person who lacked the awareness to know her husband was cheating on her right under her nose (for all those years), in public view? That really speaks to lack of perception, which is a very important quality for a president to have.

I will take a Super Sized Change Please — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:03:33 GMT

WOW! No one is looking at what is set before us. The reality is that the "experience" that Hillary has, may not be the best. I like the fact that Obama has not been in the political eye. I also think that it is time for a FULL CHANGE. I want someone other than a Bush or Clinton. Maybe IF Hillary wins, Chelsea could be our next President. GIVE ME A BREAK! Hillary is nothing more than a control freak and we are starting to see how she accepts defeat... with out HONOR or GRACE. Lets count Michigan... We didn't care about those states. GIVE US A BREAK! Please look at WHAT type of person Clinton and Borack are... not the gender or race. I think that would clear the air!

Why not shoot for the stars, you may land on the moon!

If Obama is the democratic nominee, I will go republican. Wait, Obama is ok, but he not ready yet. When I first saw Obama at the democratic convention in 2004, I said to myself, that guy will be great once he spent at least two terms in senate. Here is my rational why I am not supporting Obama. I do not get medical care from a medical student who just completed his/her first year at medical school. I do not get legal advice from a first semester law school student or let he/she represents me in court not even if I am fighting a parking ticket. I do not get on a plane if I know that the pilot does not have his/her 10,000 hours training. Obama as president is the equivalent of the above, he may give great speeches, but I need actions, and when he is debating all he does is agree with whatever Hillary saying and when he talks about change...Please, what kind of change he is talking about. JFK in his campaign said, we are going to change this generation...We are going to the moon. We did. Where are we going with Obama? Hillary is the best candidate we have, our best chance to bring changes, because like she is saying, she knows how to make changes, she had done it here in New York as our senator, and I do not know about you, but I liked the Clinton years in the Whitehouse. Do you remember them, we were better then than we are now, much better and the self-esteem of the country was very high. I believe Hillary can bring better changes than Obama. Think about it.

I don't believe the result of the New Mexico caucuse. Why don't you write about the 4 voting machines that were taken home by 2 election officials before the votes from those machines were counted. Also why don't you inform the Americans that the officials were supporters of Hillary Clinton. Why is it that the media is not talking about this incident. It was on the internet last week.

Questionable. Let's see...you have a discovery of ballots at the home of an official, you have Bill Clinton at your home for the Super Bowl and you finally tally up all the votes after a month of voter rejection. Sounds like the Clinton's are up to their ole tricks again. Most people I come across who were early on Clinton supporters feel that once they went negative it was all over. The issue of platform promises and substance is not what gets people interested this time around. It is the fact that everyone is tired of fighting and maybe Obama doesn't know it all like the Clinton's, but guess what, he is willing to involve the American people, party members, Subject Matter Experts and other political parties. Hillary Clinton refuses to respect others, demands that you vote for her and discounts you if you disagree. Now you decide. I have. Yes We Can!

To Amy, Iowa:

Take this -
133 times voted present in the Senate (in 2 years). No opinion, no stance. Just play it safe. Then preach CHANGE.

Stole most of Hilary's ideas, twisted them and called them his own. Improve infrastructure and create green collar jobs among other things.

He was a community organizer in an inner city Chicago. Then he wrote a book. Then he ran unopposed for the local state senate. Then he ran unopposed for a vacant Illinois state senate. And now he wants to be the president of the United States of America.
Hilary run for reelection in New York, debated her opponent and won. Has he run for re election? Spent 3 years in Senate mostly campaigning for his Presidency.

Truly, your guy would be good in about 8 years when his earned his stripes. Right now, he should really consider a VP spot. Not get so cocky.

I am a Latino male and I like Hillary as well, and I’d love to have her as the next USA President. I believe she has all the wisdom to govern this country better than any man currently running for the Whitehouse. Women, it is time for you to take the lead whether you are white, black, Latina whatever, you are a woman first. It is time for you to start supporting your own. This year is your chance to make a stand.
Hillary for President 2008 regardless of what the media says.
