I'm SO happy the people of Texas and Ohio were smart enough for vote majority for Hillary!!! She is the candidate that can beat McCain. Her hard work has paid off and she is going to turn this ship around. My husband is in Iraq and I trust her to responsibly bring him home. I think Obama will be a great VP or with more experience antoher run after Hillary's 8 years but I don't trust him to turn the war, economy, and all of the other issues around in this country. It didn't take much too much negativity from the media to turn people against Obama so we democrats are lucky to find out how fickle his support is now rather than in a general election. His whole platform for running for President is that he was against the war. OKAY! He didn't have to VOTE against the war. He just got to give a speech which he is very good at but you can't run an election against the republicans on that and you can't run the country based on that.

Massive Republican cross over, from urging of Conservative Radio (Rush), to keep Hillary in it.
Serious ballot problems in high Obama support areas like Clinton supporter Stephanie Tubbs-Jones' district.
Blantant use of false lines and fear tactics.

Congrats on your "wins" Hillary. Let the mud slinging continue for months.

Cincinnati, a huge Republican city (about 75% R vs 25 D) now has more registered Democrats than Repubs after all the cross over to vote Hillary to keep this battle going after urging of Rush Limbaugh for the last few days. Too bad all those hundreds of thousands of Repubs voting for Hillary will not be doing that in November.

Congrats President McCain!

NH Democrat — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:25:49 GMT

It's time to give Hillary her due. The press has acted like a win in a small caucus is as important as a win in a big-state primary. That's just not the case but the media likes to talk about Obama winning 11 in a row... so what? How many of those states are going to help the Democrats win in November? Very few because they'll be going for McCain in most cases.

The Texas prima-caucus shows just how flawed the caucus system is for establishing the public's will. Almost 3 million people voted in the Texas Democratic primary, which Hillary won by at roughly 100,000 votes. In contrast, no more than 120,000 people will have voted in the Texas Democratic caucus, which Obama will win. Why will he win? Because Clinton's elderly supporters and parents with kids couldn't come back later to vote again. No problem for Obama's college kids and the 20s and 30s supporters without kids.

Anyhow, I think primaries should be the determinant if it comes down to a delegate draw at the convention. The primaries are where everyone can vote over the many hours each polling place in open, not just at an evening meeting.

Hillary won California, New York, Massachusetts, Texas, and Ohio, all of which will be key in November. She also won Florida by a lot(the names of ALL the Democrats were on the ballot there, unlike Michigan). This shows me she's the one who should be going up against John McCain in the fall.

Go Hillary. Run hard for the nomination and ask Obama to be your running mate.

Lyn, MD — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:28:04 GMT

Hillary may have won this battle, but she will not win the war. Hillary is trying to steal the nomination through fear, lies, and election fraud in New York, New Hampshire, Nevada, New Mexico, California, and most likely Ohio.

Most of Obama's supporters will show her "what time it is" at the polls for the general election, with our lack of support for her fraudulent campaign tactics.

What I find most strange is that even though Barack closed the double-digit leads she had in the polls in Ohio and Texas, she curiously was very confident that she would win Ohio. Is it because her thug in high places--Strickland, made it possibe through rigging the votes?

Hillary obviously doesn't like caucuses because they can't be rigged to her advantage. Thivery may have gotten her this far, but she will not get they gold!

That is exactly right, we all move on.

As an Obama supporter, my morale was pretty low late last night and then this morning. But suprisingly, I feel pretty OK now. We also live on to fight another day.

I am proud of my candidate...I have been all along since I decided for him at the end of January. I think he may need to tweak his message and show more toughness (like Barnacle just said on Morning Joe) but I still think he's ultimately the better candidate for America.

He made great gains in Texas and he had a strong showing in Ohio but did appear to be hurt by the advertising there. That is concerning....if the campaign goes very negative, I think the Dems will lose strength overall. I am VERY wary of that. That is the politics as usual that we all rail against.

I think both candidates have their strengths but they need to be careful for the general. Its my feeling that if the election turns on national security (ala the 3 am phone call ad), then you can entirely justify a vote to McCain over Clinton. That's a problem.

I also think we have to be wary of talking down certain ENTIRE states as insignificant. If Clinton continues to talk this way, she should not be surprised if the popular vote is supressed in those "insignificant" states. If we are so insignificant, why bother to vote? Language IS important. I feel the same with red. v. blue. Shouldn't we (as Dems) be trying to win traditionally red states? Isn't that what change is about? And won't blue states be likely to go Democratic anyway? (Isn't that why they're called blue?). Yes arguments can be made either way but its disengenious to discount entire states as Clinton and some spin-masters have done.

I wish both candidates well, I'm not unhappy that they live to fight another day. I just wish that we could go forward with something substantive, constructive, and positive. I think the American electorate will continue to turn out the vote for that...(and I caution that negative campaigning will just give the country to the Republicans).

Howard Dean and the DNC, please continue to stay on course with playing by the established rules and please do what you can to help it stay positive.

And to the Barack Obama folks (the candidate and the campaign), hang in there and stay tough (you've already proved you can hang on and that you're tough and I support your strong leadership...let it continue).

Can Barak please make this argument, either himself or through surrogates: IF Hillary says that the superdelegates should exercise their independent judgement as part officials, then shouldnt they step in NOW to end this before we hand the advantage to McCain. Obama is ahead, and will remain ahead, in pledged delegates and popular vote, so NOW is the time to use the superdelegates. For the good of the party.

Analysis: two tough foes ahead for Obama
Posted by James F. Smith March 5, 2008 12:23 AM
By Peter S. Canellos, Globe Staff
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama woke up yesterday morning with hopes of vanquishing his last remaining rival and claiming the Democratic presidential nomination. He ended the day with two stubborn opponents: Hillary Clinton — vowing to continue her campaign after big victories in Rhode Island and Ohio — and a long-delayed but growing media backlash against his candidacy.
The second one may be more threatening than the first.
Despite breaking Obama’s string of 11 victories, Clinton is likely to gain only a modest boost in delegates and will have a hard time erasing his lead in delegates. And the Democratic party leaders who make up the party’s ‘‘superdelegates’’ will feel pressure to validate the will of the people, meaning that Obama remains the front-runner for the nomination.
But for the first time in his improbable rise, Obama himself became the main issue in the campaign — and the voters’ response wasn’t encouraging.
Obama had built up a 75,000-vote lead in early voting in Texas, only to see Clinton erase it with a strong comeback in the last few days; exit polls showed that late-deciding voters chose her over him by a 2-1 ratio.
A last-minute Clinton TV ad questioning Obama’s ability to maintain national security may have helped her; so too did his own mishandling of a controversy over his aide’s alleged comments to Canadian officials suggesting Obama wasn’t serious about renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Clinton, in what may be her first memorable phrase of the long campaign, accused Obama of giving voters the old ‘‘wink-wink’’ — promising something he didn’t intend to deliver. And Obama suddenly was on the defensive.
''It seems clear that Clinton had the better of the last few days of the campaign,’’ said Dante Scala, political scientist a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire. As a result, he said, Clinton is unlikely to face as much pressure to withdraw from the race, setting up another potential showdown in Pennsylvania on April 22.
The long wait for Pennsylvania will give both campaigns a chance to rearm themselves with money and issues. But compared to previous chapters in this drawn-out epic of an election, Obama election year, Obama will almost certainly be receiving greater scrutiny than Clinton.
For two months, the Illinois senator dominated the national zeitgeist with his ‘‘yes, we can’’ message of hope and change, a phenomenon celebrated in YouTube videos and T-shirts. But his recent return to earth coincided with the settling of the TV writers’ writer’s strike and the reemergence of late-night comedy shows as a political force.
Comics are quick to impose a story line and make it stick: Their jokes spring from common knowledge about the candidates — John McCain’s age, Clinton’s marital troubles, Mike Huckabee’s frequent professions of faith.
‘‘Saturday Night Live,’’ the granddaddy of all political comedy shows, chose to build its Obama narrative around the idea that reporters were completely in his thrall. And its skits — on both Feb. 23 and March 1 — presented Obama as an amiable guy inflated to hero status by a worshipful media.
Clinton, by contrast, was presented as annoying but indefatigable — a scrappy underdog whose complaints of unfairness got laughed off by the media. As if to drive home the point, comedienne Tina Fey used the Feb. 23 ‘‘Weekend Update’’ segment to deliver a thinly veiled exhortation to young women to quit Obama and get with the Hillary bandwagon.
‘‘In less than a minute, the SNL skit crystallized Hillary’s complaints [about unfair media treatment] and upgraded them from mere media inside baseball to the conventional wisdom,’’ said Matthew Felling, the former media analyst for CBS.com.
Clinton was quick to seize on the skit as proof of her point — mentioning it in last week’s debate in Ohio and then flying to New York for a long cameo on the show last Saturday.
The SNL appearance, followed by a stint on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday night, seemed to clear some of the gloom from around Clinton; her poll numbers began improving late last week.
Still, her wins in Ohio and Rhode Island and her battle for Texas only put her where the polls had had her a few weeks earlier, before Obama’s campaign blanketed the states with ads and staffers.
Rhode Island and Ohio were her turf, and she held it. She can feel relieved to be going on to Pennsylvania, but Obama remains the main focus of the race.
If he can handle it.

I say a Hillary-Pres./Obama, Vice President would be the balm of a ticket.
Great revenge on the media that has failed to question Obama and pushed the wind behind his back.
Even now they try and minimize her victories as much as possible.

Have you noticed that affluent voters support Obama and the media is affluent. Get the connection. The media ARE Obama supporters.

We the working class people of America, WE the 49+ women of America and we the senior citizens of America, WE want Hillary as President.

Blacks are voting for Obama because he is black.

We are voting for Hillary because she is most qualified. And thats just the plain truth.

Obama can be president in 8 years and train as Vice President under Hillary.

And by the way the 1 million 300,000 people that voted in Florida do count!!! We voted for Hillary!!!

Hillary & the Media are going to steal this election. From day (1) Hillary was the favorite, now they're calling her the "Come Back Gal/Queen". She hasn't won anything. Why is the media asking questions about Obama unable to win, isn't he still leading in delegates. The Math is simple 1 + 2 = 3, Hillary is not in the lead. Hillary was favorite to win Ohio & Texas from day one and by double digits, so this isn't any surprise.

Obama it is time to treat Hillary as a man no more Mr. Nice Guy.

51% in TX and 54% in Ohio? That is not even what she needs to win (58%) in all 3.
I would prefer that since some states are more receivable to politics of fear than facts, Obama needs to increase his tat for tit war with Clinton and portray her as merely standing in the way of the Democratc Party. You can not hope for change "we can believe in" when what your opponent does is impede the nominating process by wining deceptively and aggressively.

All I can tell is how inefficient and awkward the electoral voting process of democratic party is. It costs the moral, it costs the money and it drags every democrat voter's feet. If Obama can claim winning by collecting all of small caucaus states, trust me, America is an endengered species, we will not be able to fight any war (economic, terrorism and others) at world stage going forward.

I was a Dean democrat in 2004 and went against the war, but I fear the netroots movement is like High Tech bubble, once it is burst, all of the young voters will be crushed and confused without deep understanding of the history. High tech provides speed, efficiency and wide spread coverage with SUPERFICIAL understanding of the meaning and consequences. It has no rationality!!!

If Clinton is the Democratic nominee, the Democratic Party will split, with young people, progressives and the college educated moving to the Greens. The Green Party is already growing where I live. If Hillary had the foresight to see this happening, she would secure her place in history by playing kingmaker, and handing the nomination to Obama. That would be a powerful moment, but I doubt she has the good judgment to make it happen. She will destroy us.

Rod,SC — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:51:15 GMT

Here is what we know. Obama is still up by more than 100 delegates after last night. She didn't win. She broke even. You can call ohio a win for sure but Obama is going to actually cross that out with his Texas results when all of it is tallied. I would argue that he won texas based on what we see. I have to tell you that the Obama knew this was coming and is already fired up about the next states coming. Hillary will have her day of media frenzy over her wins but lets be honest. She still doesn't have the math to justify her being nominated and Barack does. It is ok. The party will suffer. If Hillary continues as she is this will give Mccain the entry he needs to the White House. We knew this before yesterday and we know it now.

America loves a fighter who can come off the ropes again... and again and again. If there is nothing else good you can say about Clinton... she does not cave in! Whether its a Republican Congress, {who were ALL receiving Government paid (socialistic?)healthcare... (see www.cheneycare.org)in 1994}.... or the vitriol that was spilled by Republicans during her 1996 attempts to pass some reasonable national childcare plan(so that Welfare Moms could actually afford to go back to work). Or NOW in a fight for Democrats who believe that as John Lennon once said, "...there are NO problems, ONLY solutions"!

And THEN when she is down & out in her 2nd "no win" political contest, gets up again and NOW goes on SNL & the Daily Show....and makes fun of herself!

All of this must really boggle the minds of people who say they hate Clinton... for no other reason than they were told by right wing nut jobs that they SHOULD hate her - and NOBODY can give us a good substantive reason! It is a blind hate that has NO place in our Party or in our Country!

To be able to see through the hate, to have the courage to fight against the meanspiritedness, to take on the likes of Rush and Coulter is no different than why we fought the Facists in WWII and the racists of the 1950s a & '60's... and now the fear mongers of Cheney/Mccain/Bush/Wolfowitz et al!

THIS after all is why we are Proud to be Democrats for Obama OR Clinton!

YES, YES, and YES.

This is ultimately going to be decided by superdelegates. So, start stepping up NOW.

It's all warm and fuzzy to say that this vigorous contest is 'great'...but at this point, the Republican nom is tied up--and we're doing McCain's work for him...and at a HuGe financial cost, as well.

I'm not even going to try to presume to tell the superdelegates how to vote--but the party would benefit if they all just spoke up NOW and got it over with. Clinton and Obama can 'make nice' after it's all over, but MANY of their supporters will not be willing to forgive so easily. That hurts the party. And that means we could have another Republican president!!

You did it DESPITE being outspent 2.5:1 in commercial time.

You did it DESPITE Obama getting the endorsements of several unions, leaders and that fat Oprah.

You did it DESPITE being at the receiving end of an unfair and blatantly biased news media.

No candidate either republican or democrat can be elected to the White House without winning OHIO and you won it hands down!

You won all the big states that DO matter. You have the lead in popular vote and will win the next key state of PA and win the nomination.

We need a fighter like you to make USA strong and respectable. Not a wimp like Obama who does not even know the name of the Russian President.

I just made my next contribution to Hillary! Go on and win the Presidency.

I told my daughter before I left for work this morning that Hillary can't win for the losing. Some people will die before they say something positive about her. I knew the blogs would be ringing w/ indignation that she wasn't stomped out of existence yet.
She didn't win because of 'dirty tricks' or 'vote manipulation', any more than Obama lost because of Resko or his unexpectedly poor handling of the Canada flub. She won because she won and he lost because he lost. It's a divided electorate and will most likely result in a split ticket. Let everyone else vote and move on.
It's really funny that the people who hate her with the most (usually baseless) vitriol are actually doing her the most good.
Like McCain, she performs best when she's the underdog. Obama not so much. In fact, he looked downright surly last night.
Guess being out of all that rarified air and down w/ the rest of us common people isn't so much to his liking.
He'd better get used to it tho as it appears it's not even close to over.

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is now working FOR Hillary, to get her nominated, knowing they can tear her past misdoings to pieces, knowing she's UNELECTABLE---and, as ususal, the STUPID Democratic Party is going along on this self-destructive road. To have an elderly, uncharismatic speaker being backed by the most unpopular president in a generation would seem to be a gift from God to the dems, right on a silver platter; if they lose this one---and they will if Hillary gets the nomination---they couldn't win an election to dogcatcher. If HIl gets nominated, I'll hold my nose, announce to the room before I go in and vote, "I'm voting for a person I can't stand only because the other one I can't stand even MORE!" and vote. But if the dems run Hil and lose, I'm joining the Space Alien Party and voting for Kucinich, or the Greens, and voting for Nader, or for Daffy Duck, or somebody more meaningful than a guaranteed loser like Hillary. And if John Dubya Mc Hundred Years' War is elected and starts the draft to build the army Bush broke, I'll take my draft-age kids North and vote Labor in the Canadian election, eh?

There were a lot of GOp'ers that did vote for Hillary, since our candidate was already set for the general election. I voted for Obama myself, I could never vote for anybody named Clinton after the shame and embarrassment we had in the 90's.

But when you asked those same people would they do it again, they all said "no way".

Rush Limbaugh was right on the money as usual. It is better to destroy the Clinton's then Obama.

For all his socialist talk and anti-military standing, Obama does seem to be a nice guy....

Hillary, on the other hand, is a mean nasty little woman that will stop at nothing short of destroying her good name and her party to get to the White House.

If they end up as a shared ticket, this will be the nastiest tag team in recent memory. Hillary will give Obama an office at the Capitol building and Bill will move into Vice President Cheney's old office in the west wing.

Congrats to Senator Clinton She is my Hero. I trust her with my Money and my Kids. When her Husband was President my Life was good I could take my Kids to the Movies. I had Money in the Bank. She has always been a strong Advocate for the Children and I like that. Plus she is a Strong Woman and I admire that. She looks like a Commander and Chief to me. The Men that hate her are just insecure this is a Male Dominated Society. Men have run this Country for 100s of Years and look at the mess we are in. War everywhere too much Testosterone running loose. Black People only have a Act that was enacted in 1965giving them the right to Vote. I believe Clinton will push Legislation to make my right to vote Law. My Family is Predominately Male and Military my Dad and my Brothers all served. Mrs. Clinton was behind the scenes when Bill was the President and we all know he did not make decisions with out her input. I am going with the experience and I believe she will bring change. I do not vote for someone based on their Race. I have 3 Sons and they are young Black Males and they love Hillary. My 18 year plays Video games if he hears her voice on the TV he comes a running and calls up all of his Buddies and tells them to watch her. Before my 18 year had his 18th Birthday he said he could not wait to Register to Vote so he could Vote for Hillary. So on his 18th Birthday he Registered to Vote. Go Hillary from the Howard Clan we love you.

Winning means lies about your experience - the Clinton campaign strategist could not give one example of Hillary's national security experience. She doesn't even have top security clearance. It also means lies about your opponent works. The Canadian government said Obama was not saying one thing in public about NAFTA and something different in private and the Canadian government apologized about the distortion. Winning means telling Americans to be hope does not matter. Winning means Clinton does not have to release her tax returns as have Obama and McCain. Winning means changing the rules with regards to MI and FL. She claims she won those states even though Obama was not even on the ballot in MI. Wow - this is who the Dems in OH, TX and RI want as their Commander -in-Chief. If she does win and becomes the next President, nothing will get done in Congress because the Dems will definitely loose the House and Senate just as what happened when Bill was in the White House.

Republican Forever — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:21:54 GMT

Dems know how to shoot themselves in the foot very well. Considering that Obama and Hillary agree on 97% in regards to issues it scary that this nominating primary is going to be dragged into the convention while McCain just sits back and throws everything at them. Include Florida, Michigan and the elusive Superdelegates....What a mess!

juan,ft lauderdale, fl (Sent Wednesday, March 05, 2008 9:39 AM)

It is a mess. As a Republican, I had real and serious doubts about winning in November. After last night, things are looking much brighter. Even a ticket with both Obama and Hillary on it (can anyone really believe that Hillary would ever accept being the VP on the ticket? Not a chance.) would not hold up well. With all the mud-slinging to come, it would actually look ridiculous.

If obama is DNC nominee then I will vote for McCain and if Hilary is DNC nominee I will vote for her
....but if she choses obama to run as Vice President then I will vote for McCain again.

I do not trust obama on issues any loonger. i persoanlly feel he has slandered our party by not being firm in his own beliefs and taking a stance - I never know what he is thinking therefore I don't know how he would support/vote on issues that are crucial.

It is a mistake we have carried him this far.

I hope that Wyoming and Mississippi realize he's just talk.
His speech on the war is meaningless since he hasn't tried to vote against funding it or have had any hearings on Afghanistan. Too busy running for President to do this?
Hillary has attend 2 of the senate arms committee hearings and she to is running for Prresident, what can't he multi task? Thats what a President needs to be able to do.

Congratulations President Hillary Clinton !

Now John McCain looms large. War hero. Tortured veteran. Experienced national security hawk.

In his shadows stands Barack Obama, a gifted man, but one who didn't care to call a single hearing of his foreign relations sub-committee. Who couldn't keep his top economist on a leash. Who answered a national security ad with an ad that talked about one speech, which was answered a second time with irrefutable facts on his non-action on Afghanistan, which left his campaign mute on the one subject which Republicans always win.

Lunch bucket Democrats got it and didn't buy into it.

Now it's no longer about just delegates, but about resumes. Hero versus rhetoric and change without proof; hero versus action, backed up with experience and passion for policy. No longer about a primary season, but about who can win the general election.

PAT Huntington,
Can you say 3 factual things about Hillary to support your argument that she is the best qualified candidate? Not whining but throwing in facts. Not figner wagging for no good reason but fact pointing?
Do you honestly believe a divisive politician will serve America best? Do you believe she will win the election in Nov. with all these tactics she has employed so far? Do you believe it is okay to overlook her scandals and the fact that shehides documents from voters in order to satisfy her personal ambitions? Do you buy into every one of her mailers and ads?
Are there any damaging facts about Obama you have in mind that is causing you to vote for Hillary? If you answer no to most of these questions, I guess you are gullible.

Enjoy the win Clinton supporters. You earned it. But keep in mind the race is for 'delegates.' Only by continuing negative attacks can Clinton have any chance of cutting into Obama's delegate lead. If she does that, Obama supporters will not support her in the General Election. So what is the point?

Craig — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:44:25 GMT

The math is about the General Election and the Electoral Votes a Democrat needs to get to win. Ohio, Florida, New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania are important to that math that allows a Democrat to win the White House.

People are not buying into the Oprah-bamish talk show hour of getting in touch with your inner feelings and instead are voting for Hillary who can deliver jobs, health care and turn this economy around.

Obama only wants to make you feel good that your house went into foreclosure. Obama only wants you to feel good you do not have health insurance. Obama only wants you to feel good that his foreign policy experience is zilch.

Not holding one committee meeting on Afghanistan because you are "too busy" is not the President we want. A President has many issues to handle at once and Obama can only seem to handle one at a time and only after he ways how what he does will way on his political future.

Tough race, close contest here in Texas.

I like Hillary. She’s intelligent and I have to admire what she has gone through while maintaining her dignity. But I’ll never vote for her so long as she is married to Slick Willie the “Co-President”.

That man makes my skin crawl. I get nauseous just thinking of him returning to the White House spreading sleaze. I lived through the 90’s dreading the headlines of one disheartening revelation after another.

Let’s get somebody who actually respects the office of the President of the United States. And the principles for which we stand.

It never stops. Do we need more of this?

Wow there are a lot of pro-Obama robo posters here. Saw the same stuff on the other topic. Look, Hillary can win Ohio and NJ. Obama is going to have serious problems there. Clinton can also win MI and force McCain to spend money he doesn't have in FL. Obama puts MI in play for McCain and throws Florida out the window. Obama does have a better shot in CO, VA and IA, but Clinton is more electable from an electoral college standpoint.

I try to vote on the issues. Hillary did better in exit polling last night on almost every issue.

Undecided voters: Please think about the issues. Think about all the Obama supporters who insult Hillary Clinton's supporters. I ask you to vote for Hillary Clinton. Thank you!

It does not end with Hillary winning the nomination. Actual election is in November against McCain. So don't count on Republican votes.
It is said, that Hillary feels good when votes are casted simply on race and sex basis, just which our constitution bars. How would you expect fairness from such candidate if gets elected.

We suffered a set back in the campaign last night, as well. We lost three contests and the oppostion gained in delegates.

We must not respond with anger and rage. Those are the motivations which we have been denouncing. We can have a tough campaign, without selling out and becoming that which we oppose. When we whine, and indulge in self pity we lose our collective soul.

The differences between the candidates will be pointed out. Sen. Obama does not have to submit to politcal abuse and fear mongering. But, this campaign is different.

RMJ, Seattle — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:53:32 GMT

It sure is clear from a large number of posts that the media is telling this country how and what to think rather than simply reporting the facts. What split the democratic party was the voters giving them the majority in the House and Senate in 2006 and seeing NOTHING positive result from that.

Quite frankly, the race between Obama and Clinton is far more energizing and interesting for people than the race between McCain and either one of them. This on-going challenge will make sure the people of this country know exactly who the democratic candidate is, and what they stand for before the "big race" begins.

Obama is clearly taking his advice from Oprah with his "concession" speech last night being a campaign speech AND his call to McCain telling him he looked forward to the official race against him. He's trying to use The Secret (the law of attraction) to get the nomination...act as though you already have it. It's actually funny.

Hillary should NOT drop out of the race. News of voter fraud and tampering is just media crap...heaven knows we've heard enough of it election after election. It's become something of a "crying wolf" bit that just doesn't get traction anymore. Time for people to start thinking for themselves and stop letting these biased talking heads analyze every darn thing that matters. This election is extremely important to this country. We're in a terrible mess around the world and we need a president who WILL take immediate action to start changing the course we're on....not one who simply HOPES we will.

Pay attention to who is supporting Obama and what their credentials are for choosing the president of this great country. Our youth are easily rallied, but the likelihood they are wise enough to know what is needed to bring respect and strength back to this country, and our economy is pretty low.

mexed, san antonio, texas — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:53:32 GMT

About what states are won. Hillary just won three important states. Barac won many more prior to this. Michigan and Florida are not yet in the mix. In terms of a national election, it seems to me that 1. Barack won in many states that will likely go to McCain in the end. Barack can boast that he won in so-called red states but he can't boast that he will win them. Michigan and Florida could both be Democratic states in the national election. I'd support a second nomination day for them. I'm a Hillary supporter but would prefer a very clear result. I think she would win them. Finally, Texas is likely to go Red in the national election. I live there. The districts have been realigned to give maximum Republican wins. Democratic strongholds were all broken up. It does say a lot that Hillary won Texas and those nomination delegates are super important. But, I personally believe that only a national sweep by the Democrats could bring Texas into a Dem. win in November. So, Penn is now a very important state for either H.or B to win. I think that separate, both will have a big fight to win against McCain. The abortion issue will be dragged out again even though nothing much has changed during the time the republicans held office. It's an issue that gets them votes because the lie and say they can change the law. So, I do hope the nomination process goes longer and clearer and that in the end we can put Hillary and Barack on the same ticket. Barack said they would be friends after the campaign and Hillary gushed her pride at being with him. So, if now they have any true animosity, they should SUCK IT UP and do what they both know is best for the party and the nation: ONE TICKET WITH BOTH OF THEM.

Obama loses so suddenly the media is against him? The media suddenly starts reporting on Obama in a more critical light and so Clinton is winning by lies and manipulation?

Get a grip! This isn't even the general election. Something tells me that Clinton's policy initiatives have nothing to do with why some suport Obama and that's too bad, talk about uninformed opinions. You can certainly support Obama but blind hatred never served anyone well. Get a grip.

He is estimated to have outspent Mrs. Clinton in television advertising in the four primary states by a factor of FOUR TO ONE — in Vermont it was as much as five to one — yet he failed to overwhelm Mrs. Clinton in Ohio and Texas. So last night, billed as Mrs. Clinton's Alamo, proved not to be the do-or-die fight it was at first billed."

You are simply out of touch with reality. You are totaly ignorant. Your statement that Obama will only make you feel good... just shows your true ignorance.
You need to give yourself the time to sit down and compare each candidate's records, go to www.factcheck.org or other resourceful websites, go to thomas.loc.gov, and go to the candidates' respective websites and STUDY before you write a meaningless post. Otherwise, you are clamoring for the Republicans to win in Nov -- or maybe you have drugged yourself to the point that you cannot think clearly with an educated mind.

NOT A BIG WIN FOR HILLARY--

This is not a big win for Hillary. She only won by a few margins. OBAMA, was trailing her mightly...

She has been crying, boo-hooing, kicking and fighting wrongfully all the way...as far I I know, there may have been some wrong-doing at the polls by some favorites working deceitfully in the back-ground...

...why? because, you have to ask yourself, "Why were there bomb threats, and why was she complaining about sueing?

I think she knew she was going to lose Texas, and Ohio...and someone did the unspeakable to give her the victory. Not the people, but someone who had control somewhere at the polls? "Who?"

OBAMA, did not lose, he won, and he still has the lead...

I hate all these 'jonathon alters' from newsweek who told her to get out of the race. I cancelled my subscription to Newsweek magagine. All media did harass Mrs. Clinton. Hell with you all median people. She is tough, she proved you wrong. NOW, you media people bunch of socialist liberals can have coffee in 'Starbucks' with the students who like to live in a dream world. Whites should go to polls and vote for Hillary. The other choice, an Oprah candidate who is for more taxes, has no clue on national security, more welfare, more entitlements for the people that don't want to work is a danger to this country. He should not be even considered for the vice president's slot. Wake up America finally I came out of hybernation from this Obamaithes.

John in Oregon — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:24:56 GMT

Pretty clear after last night, negative campaigning still works. Hillary, like her husband could care less about the Democratic party let alone the democratic process. There was a reason they lost the congress after just his second year in office and she failed with health care in 1992. They do not build the base, they do not inspire change and they do not get grass roots movements because they both set fire to the those groups after they reach office. The Clinton model is not that far from the Bush 43 model where you win by dividing people and you get in the mudd to win. She will burn down the Democratic party to win and then we will all wonder why we will still not have health care reform or an end to the war or for that fact why are cities and schools crumble into decay. She has tired everything in the last two weeks and playing the victim by the press and playing the negative with questions on his leadership and religion just shows she will do anything to win. Sad but even Karl Rove was praising her last night on FOX.

What a great day for the DEMS and especially for democracy in our country. The MEDIDA (MSNBC) and all the Obama Groupies like Chris Matthews did not pick a WINNER. The people chose. Chris is probably whining again about HRC and BILL. Whine on MSNBC. Your continous one-sided coverage is both shocking and sad. I could understand FOX News and Billo showing such unprecedented partinshipm but MSNBC, it is a sad day.

My thoughts: Keep Matthews on 23.5 hours a day. Every time he opens his OBAMA-GROUPIE mouth, HRC wins.

I am not anti-Obama. I am anti-cult. Obama is not the second coming. Obama is a politician who also has his fair share of crap underneath his finger nails. Keep up the scrutiny, and we will find a gifted, non-Messiah. I go to church too offten in my life. I do not need and or want one more pious piece of fluff in my life. Last night's concession speech by BO was the best example of the candidate's view on his own destiny, and his call to OBAMA groupies everywhere that the SECOND COMING....is COMING.

Carla San Antonio Texas — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:31:53 GMT

It is clear that the Media is bent on destroying Obama's momentum so that the campaign may drag on as long as possible. With as many times as the network news programs have been playing Hillary's negative commercials in order to "analyze" them, as well as her SNL appearances, she won't need to raise a dime between now and the convention.
when Obama supporters appear on "news" programs, they focus on positive qualities of their candidate; whereas Hillary supporters are permitted to go negative without being challenged. Time and time again, Hillary surrogates are allowed to claim that she has 35 years of experience-- and this always goes unchallenged. What relevant experience has she had? Obama lost Texas and Ohio because of a failure in the strategy of his campaign, and a willingness of the media to accept Hillary's claims at face value. The Obama camp apparently conceded the mantle of experience to Clinton, so that they could make the argument that judgment trumps experience. They failed however to point out that the type of experience Hillary has is the type most Americans don't want. Shouldn't somebody ask why being a corporate lawyer, cozying up to lobbyists and Washington insiders, makes you more experienced? Legislatively speaking, Obama's experience is essentially equal to Clinton's. And he has actually held public office longer than she has. Hillary must be claiming that time spent as first lady qualifies a person to be commander in chief "on day one"? She may have had tea with world leaders wives and sat in on a few meetings, but she was not responsible for making decisions and forming policy. Lets face it-- if sharing sleeping quarters with the president qualifies one to claim Executive experience, then half the women in Arkansas should be running for president!
Leading up to Tuesday, reporters have done little to hold the Clinton camp accountable, not only on the issue of experience, but also on the issue of negative campaign tactics. Have you been paying attention to her recent comments -- that both she and McCain would bring a lifetime of experience to issues of national security, whereas Senator Obama would bring a speech in 2002? Doesn't everyone see that she is doing John McCain's dirty work-- and that by propping her up, Hillary supporters are doing the bidding of the Rush Limbaughs of the world- who would love nothing better than to drag this out forever and damage Obama to the extent that John McCain will have an easy time in the general election.(anyone paying attention already knows he would wipe the floor with Hillary.)
It is pathetic that despite the fact that voters say they hate negative campaigning and that they are tired of "politics as usual", many of them chose to support a person that they admit is the most negative and a person who is part of the Washington establishment---How fitting that Hillary supporters would turn out to be the ultimate hypocrites!

TJ Cohen, Saint Paul, MN — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:32:35 GMT

Here's is what is going to happen. Over the next 7 weeks Hillary will team with John McCain to continue to level unfair, misstated, and generally bogus attacks at Barack Obama like they have been doing for the past 2 weeks. Barack will win every primary between now and Pennsylvania. If Clinton then wins PA, we get more of the same kind of politics ripping into Barack untill the convention. In the Convention, Barack will have the most pledged delegates and will either win the nomination (Option A) or Hillary will give a big middle finger to the democratic process that democrats are supposed to be in favor of upholding and steal the election with super Delegates (Option B).

If Option A happens:
Barack will face an uphill battle against McCain, whose false attacks will have even more leverages because they are the same ones that Hillary's half of the democratic party uses. McCain will have had months to reconcile his base plus go after the independants that he is so good at swaying without much struggle because Barack has to fight him and Hillary at the same time. By August, Barack will have been beaten down and unfairly lost crediblity and will have to hope for an excellent showing in the debates to have a shot.

If Option B happens:
Hillary will get to debate John McCain about who has more experience in Washington. A debate that John McCain will win handedly. Since she is an establishment candidate her ability to talk about change will be severly limited and she won't be able to attack him on Iraq because she "voted for it". Any attack on his Iraq policy will allow him to make her look like flip-flopper, inconsistent, and incompetent. In the debates, John McCains funny, likeable, and tough demeanor will beat out her whiney, divisive, and stubborn demeanor easily and John McCain will cruise to a victory in December.

Basically, Hillary staying in the race and screwed the Democratic Party. We needed to unite behind a candidate now and we won't be able to do that anymore. The only good news is that, if the country survives 4 more years of the same policies and politics, Barack will be able to come back in 2012 and have a very good shot at the White House.

There are 747 delegates remaining in 12 contest. The big ones being Pennslyvannie with 188 delegate, North Carolina 134 delegates, indiana 84 delegates, Kenucky 60 delegates and Oregon with 65 delegates. No one is going to have the needed amount and this race will come down to the super delegates and what they do about Michigan and Florida. If the Democratic voters in Michigan and Florida are deprived of being able to cast ballots for a nominee and are treated as outcast, these states will go Republican in the fall. The Democratic candidate, whoever it is, will be doomed. I don't know the answer, I just think I know the problem and we better solve it before or at the convention. I am a Hillary Clinton supporter and I encourage everyone to work as hard as they can to help her in the coming primaries.

Obama has just experienced his first set of primaries after receiving press/media scrutiny. 61% of all last minute deciders in Texas went to Clinton. Let's see if buyer's remorse takes over from here. If Clinton goes into the Convention with clear momentum, even if Obama has a lead in the delegate count, it will be hard for delegates and super delegates to ignore the momentum and the buyer's remorse if the Democrats want to win in November. Based on polls Clinton is now more competitive with McCain in November. Clinton clearly understands this, otherwise why would she pursue this any further. She is smart enough and "experienced" enough to know this. She has gotten a good part of her base back and I believe has finally figured out how to beat Obama.

Just a quick note to all you Shirley's, Melissa's and Amy's out there who blindly support Clinton: I've seen this movie before. Hillary is just another establishment Dem who, in her blind ambition quest for the nomination, will suck the hope, the excitement and the life out of Democrats. Kill the hope, kill the dream, kill the party. That's her game plan. But why should we expect her to care? In 1964 she was a Goldwater Girl. Somehow people now think that's sort of quaint or just chalk it up to her youth. Well, I was working for LBJ that year(not because I loved him) because even at that young age I was smart enough to know that Goldwater was bad news. Just one more piece of evidence of her lack of judgment. We will all be the losers if she wins. She has no more chance of getting a national health care plan adopted now than when she blew it back in the '90's. As to her generous suggestion of a VP spot on the ticket for Obama, why should he take it? She'll just throw him under the bus and use him as the excuse when she loses in November. If there is one thing consistent with the Clinton's, it's that they can never take responsibility for their own failures. Every now and then an opportunity comes along for this country to actually come together and do something incredible. But every time the cynical power establishment finds a way to trick us into voting against our own interests and better angels. Even if she can't steal the nomination, she has already just about made certain that the Democratic nomination will have no value to the winner. And quite frankly, after the past 5 days of seeing nothing but her face and hearing nothing but her voice on the tube, the thought of 8 years of that just makes you want to puke.

If you look at the numbers Sen Clinton only gained 18 delegates she is over 120 delegates behind. Again Sen Obama congratulated her and she has yet to congratulate him on when he has won. Sen Obama has class. On another note I am still trying to figure where her 30yrs of experience comes from? If she is the nominee her tactics will get thrown right back at her because Sen McCain has more experience which will qualify him to pick up the phone. Cheer for Sen Clinton now because if she is the nominee Sen McCain is going to have a field day.

It's been fun reading all of the Obama-maniacs explain exactly why Hillary *can't* win the nomination, forgetting that it's not exactly gonna be easy for Barack, either. This race will come down to the Super Delegates and it's their responsibility to consider which candidate can win the big states AND the swing states and which one can't. Remember, there are no caucuses in November.

Someone needs to look up First Lady experience because from what I saw it does not constitute running the country in behalf of the President or Governor. Bill did not have time to teach her much due to his extra activities. Sen. Obama needs to challenge her experience in politics because Sen Clinton is running on name and not true politics.

I believe the Republicans crossed over in Maryland , Virgina, Washington Dc, and voted for Obama, why do you think he won so big. WHAT A JOKE OBAMA IS. It was ok when they were voting for him but it's not ok now that they voted for Hillary. TUFF
Gooooooooooooooooooooo HILLARY

Why is the media still biased towards obama, they all say clinton has math problem, I don't understand how does Obama make the numbers to win the nomination and no liberal paper/media is commenting about it.

It appears all the media that has gone blind with obama is similar to FoxNews during the 2000 and 2004 election campaign. No difference, they are tring to tilt the election in his favor by all positive or no negative report about obama and a lot of negative or biased reporting. If obama does not make the number, does he not have "math problem" ? IS THAT NOT BIAS ?

Scott, Seattle, WA — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:53:52 GMT

Barack,

I'd like to thank you for all you have done to lead us so far. I know you'll keep going because you've still got a technically insurmountable delegate lead and your message is predicated on belief and hope and looking at how we rule ourselves in a different way.

In many ways, you are the opposite of Hillary Clinton. Besides the demographic obvious -young, male, tall, dark-skinned- you are also respectful of your opponent. You congratulate her on her wins when necessary -she does not even mention your name at all when it's her turn to do so. You maintain your campaign theme and values regardless of the situation of the day -she shifts like the wind in her message and her mood. You speak directly to us in your ads -Hillary just approves her own soundbites and the trumped up charges and scare-tactic allegories of proxies. Hillary fights with her fists and refuses to admit she can and has made mistakes -you fight with your mind and acknowledge that you're not infallible or perfect but elegantly capable of taking lessons.

Hillary asks us to trust her to take care of us while we go about our lives -you ask us to trust ourselves and to take part in making this country and all of our lives better.

We -you and I- suffered a small defeat last night and it was frustrating in the face of the wave of inspiration you've built, but I'd like to thank you for your grace and for reminding me that I had been starting to assume too much. I had been letting you become the proxy for my hopes and the redemption of this nation's history of oligarchy, international prima noctis, fear-mongering, class warfare, racism, slavery and xenophobia.

I am reminded that you are just a man -a great man- but no savior or redeemer. You will make a wonderful and generationally-defining president and I will be proud to have lived through this time. I will continue to support you with my head and my heart. But I am reminded that I have to do my part as well. If I want change and progress and redemption, I have to bear my own water along side you. I have to take part and do more than wish your success.

This is what you were trying to tell me when you said "We are the change we've been waiting for." I was right here the whole time. I just never realized how powerful I was until you asked me to look in the mirror.

You are my president, Barack. But I am your general. Thank you for asking me to participate. I am glad to be reminded that you have done so.

CLD, Charlotte — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:54:14 GMT

"3:00am call" - why this duped people into voting for Billary is beyond me! Think people...do you really want more of the fear tactics that we hate from the Bush Administration? Did anyone noticed how convenient it was that we were warned not to take trains just moments after Billary's scare tactics? Do you wonder why Rush and Bush's media friends attached Obama??? THINK!!! McCain is more worried about Obama's infrastructure to get people to get out the vote; his ability raise money; his solid grasp of the economy; his solid decision making and the real kicker - Obama's ability to unite the entire nation. Obama isn't running for himself like the self centered Billary. So the next time you see that 3:00am call consider this, a female will most likely answer...the Operator. What you really should be asking is who will make the right decisions for the right reason when it comes time to push the RED BUTTON? Who will take ownership of the aftermath of such a decision?

I am glad that I am not the only one to see that the "news" play up Obama and down play Clinton.

Do the Democrats not know that if they pick Obama to run as the Democrat candidate that many Democrat voters are going to vote for the Republican candidate?

Obama is good at talking up a story but he has not said how he can do/fix things. Clinton tells you what and how she will. Clinton is the only way to go.

TG, San Antonio, Tx — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:58:20 GMT

This is the first time I have voted in Texas, as I moved here recently. I am so angry that we are required to:
1. stand in long, slow lines for at least an hour to vote then,
2. are expected to return After The Polls Close to "vote" again in the caucuses!
I hear that people who knew about going to the caucuses had to be there until 12:30 A.M. How many people are free to devote up to 7 hours to vote?
What happened to one person one vote in the states? Apparently, since not enough Clinton supporters were aware of, or able to fufill, the second requirement, Obama will win our delegates! Clinton has a clear lead in the popular vote. If Obama wins more delegates here then Clinton does, it will be one more indication of the level of corruption in this state's politics.
One Person - One Vote! This is 2008! We voted on computers without receiving printed verfications of our vote. I am very unhappy with my adopted state.

Lighten up Liberals! As an Arkansan who has met and worked numerous times with Bill and Hillary and even Mike Huckabee - I can tell you that Hillary is as sharp and brilliant as any President we have had in a century perhaps smarter. Yes I am a Hillary fan but I am ALSO a happy liberal who knows that even if Hillary does NOT win the nomination of the DNC - we will have a bright and history making President in Barack Obama. There IS NOT much difference in policies between these two. The artificial distinctions created in their competition is creating frictions which we need to recognize are NOT PRODUCTIVE for our nation. ALL OF US who want to get rid of the culture of corruption, the occupation of Iraq and want to protect American entitlement systems like Social Security and develop a solid health care system NEED to get behind either HILLARY OR OBAMA.
Remember - its GOOD to be a Democrat in America!!

Mamie, Atlanta — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:03:14 GMT

There will be no Clinton/Obama ticket. Don't be fooled. She is trying to appease the voters who have vowed not to vote for her.

There is a blackout underway of Obama supporters who will vote third party if the DNC gives her the nomination and will vote any politician (superdelegate) out of office who voted against their constituents.

Ellis B. Kingman, Az. — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:04:05 GMT

Congratulations are in order for Hillary's wins in Texas and Ohio, but I am afraid it is too little-to late. While Clintons focus on the'Big States' has allowed her to remain in the race it will not transform into the nomination. Sooner or later people will get wise to the Clinton spin tactics and realize Hillary is not the only Democrat that can beat McCain in the traditional 'big blue states', nor will the super delegates override the votes of their constituents as Hillary hopes. In all practicality this race is over, the numbers are just not there. If Hillary were thinking of the welfare of the party and America rather than self interests she would gracefully bow out and give her support to Obama.

GET ready for MSNBC (Obama tv) response to the Clinton Blow Out. Last night before the votes were even counted Chris (obama fan) Matthews suggested Hilliary should drop out of the race. He also suggested the Clintons only care about themselves and not the Democratic party.

I think Chris Matthews is a jerk and plays Obama ball with one campaign and Hardball with the Clinton s. Thought the media was supposed to be impartial??? ANd Please stop refering to PA as Alabama cirica 1963 NOW.

TOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAD Matthews, you and your fellow anchors can eat crow today. ON TO PA BABY

Wow, I can't believe the people of Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island bought into the Clintons' use of Karl Rove's playbook. Democrats, if you nominate Hillary, you dig your own grave as surely as you did by nominating John Kerry in '04. This election could not be gift-wrapped any more than it is for a Democratic victory, but if Hillary is the nominee, the DNC will once again have managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dawn, Pittsburgh, PA — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:15:26 GMT

I suppose that if the shoe was on the other foot:
1. Obama would demand that FLA and Michigan votes count. And so would MSNBC.
2. If Hilliary got 90% of the white vote there would be cries of racism.
3. If some voter districts other than AA ones receiving more delegats than others there would be an MSNBC outcry and Obama supporters crying foul.
4. IF Republicans and Independents were selecting Hilliary as the Democratic nominee like they are Obama there would be complaints heard round the world.

We are supposed to be the Democratic Party. Every vote should be counted and none more important than any other vote.

Tim, Reading, PA — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:16:40 GMT

Ok, everyone lets calm down. First there are 16 more contests to go. Yes Senator Clinton and her supporters deserve congratualting, they won three of the four last night.

Yes Ohio and Texas are important, but you can't forget Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Arkansas, South Dakota, and the rest of the other states. Its sounds to me that the Clinton campaign is concentrating on only the "important" states and only decideding after the election is important.

So let's neither side get ahead of ourselves. Yes Senator Clinton won Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island last night and deserves to be congratualted for that but unless she has a plan going forward Obama has shown to come back stronger than ever after every defeat.

Now we move on to other states. And once again I find I must ask if the race is about delegates then why isn't Senator Clinton campaigning in Montana and Mississippi? If its about momuntum, still why isn't Senator Clinton campaigning in Montana or Mississippi? Why not try to string together 11 victories in a row? I think someone managed to do that a few weeks ago.

I do not see much of a come back given all the negative campaigning that only netted her less than 10 delagates!!!!

I firmly believe that Barack will be the next president though, if Hillary steals the nomination - which is the only way she can be the Democratic nominee - then Mccain, yes 72 year old Mccain, will be the next President!!

Hillary is losing because the few she has won, though big, are by very small margins. 3 wins & she only netted 12 delegates.
