The New York Times’ Nagourney delves into the potential results of tonight -- from a Clinton sweep (it could change the world), to an Obama sweep (lights out for Clinton), to somewhere in between (his most likely outcome).&amp;nbsp;

I refuse to trust Clinton, she lies at every turn and bend. &amp;nbsp;I am truly astonished by how far she has come in this race, I believe based on race. I will not attack Clinton supporters. They are not stupid, racist, feminists, or elitists. They are simply misinformed, and I dare say unsure of SEN Obama. They hesitate to vote for somebody that is new, relatively unknown, and maybe a different race. I am not calling any of them racist, but I think his color has made some people stop their vote for him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The working class people of this country need to pull together; we are the ones that run this country, carrying its load on our backs. I am in the US Army, an Infantryman, believing me that is a very blue-collar. I grew up in a working class family; my family still is working class. I learned the values that make America the best from this upbringing. I also learned how to judge a person by their character and the voracity in how they live their life. This is what I see in SEN Obama. I guess that is because a short while ago he was just like us, living from paycheck to paycheck, paying off debt, and raising a family. &amp;nbsp;This is what I find lacking in SEN Clinton. In fact, I find it appalling and absolutely frightening how it is lacking in Clinton. I guess it is what makes working class hate elitists.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Support the Troops, Vote Obama 08.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#984960</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 13:47:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:984960</guid><dc:creator>OBwan, IN</dc:creator><description>South Bend is in the 2nd congressional district which include Elkhart (Heavy Republican), LaPorte - Michigan City (Heavy Democratic), Plymouth (home of Scott Skiles), Logansport, and Kokomo. &amp;nbsp;There are 6 delegates up for grabs in the district. &amp;nbsp;Expect an even split.</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#984962</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 13:47:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:984962</guid><dc:creator>Not Here</dc:creator><description>Anyone find it moronic that Limbaugh is pushing &amp;quot;Operation Chaos&amp;quot; and Hillary has MSNBC argueing its the popular vote that counts?</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#984978</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 13:51:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:984978</guid><dc:creator>Expelliarmus, OH</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Democrats.

She doesn't stand a chance. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But, hey, if it helps the ratings ... keep yakking.

I think that the level that they have stooped to try and steal this election with the Help of the media is unreal. I think that every voter in the Democratic party whether an Obama supporter or a Clinton supporter , needs to listen carefully The Clinton campaigns metrics as presented by keith Obermann last night on Countdown. Clinton supporters will be mad but the fact is that these have been arguements from the Clinton Campaign . The truth of the matter is that this campaign has spun so far out of control, that the surrogates for this campaign are just as loose with telling lies as the candidate herself.This campaign is so removed from reality that it almost is believable until you sit back and listen to what they say. The Clinton spin machine has been so fine tuned these past few weeks. After Hillary accused the media of being biased against her. The media has responded by doing everything to prove her wrong. The media has gone to the point of overplaying any and everything against Barack Obama.While giving Hillary a free ride. Nobody has aired anything on the Paul vs. Clinton case , very little coverage of her being ready to Obliterate Iran and the fact that such loose words are damning. Nobody is calling her on her supposed taking on OPEC.This woman has become so far fetched, her talking points are straight out of the WCW playbook. The many characters that she has claimed to be like, except herself suggest to me. That Hillary Clinton is such a bad product that she has to relabel herself as something else other than herself. &amp;nbsp;She has become a Republican in my eyes, all smoke and mirrors and if that doen't work she will kick sand as well. So I have to say this in closing The Charm and Glimmer of The 90&amp;quot;s Clintons has worn off. What is left standing their &amp;nbsp;Lying Liars and the Lies they tell so well.</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#985123</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 14:17:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:985123</guid><dc:creator>Larry Napoleon,IN.</dc:creator><description>If the gas tax is so good and Hillary could get this done why only 3 months, as Bill would say GIVE ME A BREAK.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#985148</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 14:21:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:985148</guid><dc:creator>gene</dc:creator><description>Hillary will do nice today.

They are the ones doing all of the &amp;quot;spin&amp;quot; for the Clintons. This contest is over. Even if Hillary wins both, the superdelegates have to take into consideration more that fleeting and often flawed opinion polls. They must look at 1)pledged delegate count (this is supposed to be the main one anyway) 2)popular vote &amp;nbsp;3)states won and 4)amount of money raised. Where is the argument that she is the better candiate when he has all 4. If he were suddently so flawed, his support and money would be drying up. Superdelegates would be defecting. We have not seen this, yet it is never, ever reported that way. Why? Because it is so much more exciting for the news to make it sound as if there is a contest. Sad, but typical.</description></item><item><title>Primary day: Scenarios, scenarios</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/06/984808.aspx#985177</link><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 14:27:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:985177</guid><dc:creator>Linda in Oregon</dc:creator><description>I'm getting really sick of the MSM and their stupid demographics. &amp;nbsp;Labels and pidgeonholes don't reflect individuals and their reasons for voting. &amp;nbsp;I'm in a demographic you insist will vote one way, yet I intend to vote another. &amp;nbsp;Since Oregon is polling overwhelmingly for Obama, you must think we're mostly black or young, or &amp;quot;elite&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Not so...
