How many more are that, jumping onto Obama's column, just today? (That's not so much a question, as it is a commentary; I can add). WOW!

Well, it's still early in the week. Maybe Obama will close the deal by week's end, with a bunch of Supers, as you suggested Chuck.

Poor Hillary/Rocky/picked on girl/sniper fire target/media sabotaged/victim, victim, victim.

It's funny really because she is getting to be in the limelight every day with her Bubba hubby and her media sheltered daughter - an ALL expense paid roadshow! And yet she is not paying her expenses and victimizing the poor vendors and staffers.

Who is really the victim here? It seems like those who are loyal to her (Patty Soliz?)and work for her and pay for her. This latest fundraising will go toward nothing but getting her out of debt for her long, expensive, donut eating, luxury hotel staying, private chartered airline flying "look at me" campaign/attention seeking carnival.

Give her more!!! She demands it!!!! She deserves it !!!! She isn't done grabbing what is rightly hers!

Thank you so much for the delegate update....

Obama is clearly winning this nomination and anyone else claiming otherwise is simply naive and are unable to use their "experience" to make the right judgment. Obama leads 164 pledged delegates!!! there is not way any other candidate can close the gap as far as I know. It is not dream but a real fact.

I'm now anxiously waiting who will be his running mate.... Sebalius? Richardson? Pelosi? Kennedy? SO many good options. By the way, can Mr., Mrs., and Ms. Clinton release their dinasty tax returns????

Uh Oh — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:31:43 GMT

From the mouth of an outspoken Hillary Clinton supporter/ Superdelegate:

"If I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say Barack Obama is going to be the next president," he said just after 18:00. "I will be stunned if he's not the next president of the United States."

Earlier in the interview, he was asked about the race going all the way to the convention.

"If I do the party line, I'm supposed to say -- and maybe I'll say just so if anybody hears it they can say well, 'Cleaver did the party line before he told the truth,' -- we believe that a contest going all the way to the convention is good for America," he said. In fact, he continued, it would be the "tragedy of tragedies."

Wynn's departure will affect the number of superdelegates if there is no special election before the convention. If there is a special election, and a Democrat (presumably Edwards) wins, they will be a superdelegate. I believe she is an Obama supporter, so it would mean no change.

Katherine — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:52:37 GMT

SO?

Obama is STILL UNELECTABLE.

No amount of 24/7 Obama promotion on the MSNBC-Obama network will EVER make Barack Hussein Obama qualified or electable.

I support Hillary Rodham Clinton for President because she's the most qualified and most electable candidate in the race.

The Dem party seems to forget that white women are the majority voting block of the Dem party and WE WANT HILLARY to be the nominee. If she isn't, our payback to the party will be voting for McCain. The party can afford to lose parts of certain voting groups but not their majority voting block. That would be political suicide for the Dems. Obama has continually interjected racism, classism, and sexism into this campaign at his own peril. It's disgusting.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama also picked up two delegates in illinois in late reporting. Hillary failed to cross the 15 percent threshold in south chicago.

The illinois delegate allocation should be Obama 106-47 not 104-49.

Chicago Public Radio reported on this back on March 13 and the media hasn't picked it up.

To the typical black female. It's VERY SILLY of you to describe yourself like that. You certainly don't know what a typical another race of female is. I happen to be an Obama supporter, and I know that Obama WILL NOT WIN ANYTHING without WHITE voters. So, although you seem to be overwhelmed with Mr. Obama, you need a SERIOUS reality check because you inject your race into anything. Sadly, I'm beginning so hear more and more stupid remarks or comments by some blacks...please don't forget that WE lead other races with a lot of more problems within the black community.

I have never watched so much television! I thought it was so funny that the people ran off with the boxes at the caucus. Do you think that the Clinton's did not want to give the win to Obama. One lady as reported by MSNBC said that she saw a Clinton supporter leaving with a box of votes. They have kept them for a month while we could all whine about Hillary not getting her votes counted in Michigan and Florida. I am suprised that this has finally been done as I thought that the Clinton machine would somehow someway keep this from the public. Come on this is great news! Go Obama! Also, my family lives in Texas and at the last minute all that was all the news was the 3am phone call by the Clinton campaign. Gee I am glad that they did not get too much from that scare campaign when it was all over.

Total . . . . . 8,643,000 . . . . . . .8,487,000

I guess it's kind of obvious, but it's hard to be ahead in the popular vote if you don't win a lot of votes in the "big" states.

Patrice E. - Oakland, CA — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:14:03 GMT

Obama is the better candidate as far as I'm concerned. I will never let the mainstream media distort my thinking or influence my decision to vote and support Obama. I truly feel great about this guy and I think that he will do what he says he'll do. I think that the Republicans know that too, that is why the Right-Wing Extremist are trying so hard to make this Rev. Wright stuff stick, but I think that the American people are tired of hearing about it. People see Obama and love him for who he is, not for what his pastor said.

Also, I think that the Clinton camp are turning off allot of people with this Super delegate stuff, especially the super delegates. And as for Gov. Rendell aka "The Joker" (he looks like Jack Nicholson Joker from the first Batman, without the makeup) and James Carville aka "Sunburn or Go ahead - Forehead" (he looks like one of those aliens from Star Wars), they really need to shut up about Obama. We all know that they don't like him and will do anything and everything to see that he doesn't win.
