North Carolina. Thanks for showing what a true double-digit win for a true and honest leader looks like.

Please let no one post about Wright over here. We ALL heard it all. 3. Wright we all know. Someone else's words. Obama has not anywhere private or public acted like, dressed like, or said anthing like, or pushed anything like Wright did in the initial clips (2 minutes cut out found after a combing of church bulletins and tapes representing 20 years x 52 weeks x 60 minutes ~0.001%). God forbid any of us attending a church for 20 years that differs from our beliefs on any single issue. He has made clear that the spiritual agreement and agreement on church programs for the poor were important and has completely made clear that he does denounces, renounces, finds inappopriate, finds untrue comments regarding government and AIDS and the other objectionable comments. Why is it hard to accept this when all evidence supports it? Most will. Some will hold on. Why, maybe they see an opposite reflection of their own beliefs in Wright.

Moving on to West Virginia, we should see a little more race-baiting from the Hillary camp. In some aspects this state is still back in 1865. The main problem for Hillary is how will she be able to campaign while she is working in the Senate to get the gas tax suspended for the summer and the get the government to bill big oil for the cost. This is a national nomination, so don't think all the stupid things you said in Indiana will be forgotten.

Baracking the vote in New Britain, CT, I'm Lisa (really!) — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:51:55 GMT

The LA Times is out of step here...the results in both states were decisive.

I believe Clinton's fundamental error was making the gas tax holiday pander the defining moment of her campaign (and I said this all along). Of all the issues she could have chosen, hoping/thinking/banking on the fact that people can be bought for $30 diminishes her. I am not her supporter but I thought she was bigger than that. The $30 was a drop in the bucket to what people in this country really need.

She would have been better off dropping the $6.5 million she loaned her campaign in twenty dollar bills from a plane in the sky. That would have done more good.

I'm sorry, not trying to be overly nasty but I just wish she had waged a different campaign which showed her positive qualities...I supported her back in January.

"Wright" was never a factor.

Media coverage and Clinton "Spin" was the factor.

The media bought into the Clinton stance that Obama should be held responsible for Wright's comments; and then did literally nothing to investigate this story and put Wright's comments into context.

The internet age has shortened the length of time any campaign can get away with dubious tactics. The media got burned by this because there were enough videos of Wright out there for some folks to watch the speeches in their complete format and draw their own conclusions. When these folks also realized that the media was not correcting their obvious errors of omission, the "Internet Wave" "started to push back."

Get used to this. Media is going to have to start doing their jobs again, or they will get called on it again; very soon!

I was struck this morning by how low key the panelists on Morning Joe seemed - there seemed to be genuine sadness that the race is coming to an end.

There can be no doubt that the media has taken EVERY opportunity to drag this race out, even though it has been OBVIOUS since Ohio/Texas that there was no way that Senator Clinton would have enough delegates.

Out of the 15 states Senator Clinton has won, several have been by razor thin margins - Texas and Nevada (in which Senator Obama won more delegates), New Hampshire, New Mexico, and now Indiana. For all the attempts by the media to create horserace, the simple fact is - it's over. Senator Obama has EARNED the nomination. Time to give credit where credit is long OVERDUE!

P.S. Hysterical how Chris Matthews and Morning Joe-ke still found a way to keep talking about Rev. Wright this morning, they are REALLY fascinated with that man!

I have no doubt today that many Obama supporters will be calling for Hillary to quit today. Frankly, that is for her alone to decide.

I would ask that when everyone begins to post all there negative comments about her, that you refrain from calling her names,or making snide remarks about her.

She may not be your chosen candidate but she was/is for many of us.

As a mother of two children (a boy and a girl), I long for the day when I can tell my daughter, that like her brother she too can someday be president. My guess is that we have seen the last potential female candidate for another generation and likely, it will be my daughter someday telling hers.

I never really understand why women don’t support her. As women, we continue everyday to fight for equality. (Whether many of you want to admit it or not).

I have no idea who I will vote for in November. I don’t necessarily believe a lot of what Barak says. However, as an American I do believe that voting is our greatest gift and if more people choose him, I will abide by that decision.

That being said, if he truly is capable of winning in November and accomplishes all that he hopes to…I will be the first to admit I was wrong.

Slamming Hillary when she has clearly lost is not necessary…many of us are saddened today as we watch our candidate slowly fizzle away (for hopefully just a few years).

As I have been saying all during this primary season, class outbeats trash any day! Hillary Clinton won a handful of states compared to Obama who took most of the country that has voted so far.

There's no way she can win, and for love of God I wish she would take it like a woman and concede so we can move on. Any person that donates to her campaign obviously has nothing better to do with their money!

Bottom line is she got beat BAD by someone who she and billy boy thought stood no chance. America has had enough of the Clintons. If you're a real champion for the Democrats you will stop the nonsense and support the candidate of America's choice - BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what Mr Montanaro I think you should stop trying to break down the votes by race at this point.I know you did not watch CNN but a Super Delegate that is undeclared said that they are tired of this thing being broken down racially.I know that it is neat to have these statistics. But the question has to be asked when does this not become used as a tool to create a divide that was not so highly contrasted until beat to death by the media in an effort to deliver a story. When you look at how this race started for example ,Black voters did not favor Senator Obama as much as white voter and the fact that white voters had to of carried him in prodominantly white states. The point I am trying to make is this this country still has divides, If our youth can see the wisdom in trying to change that then mabe our elders can learn from them , I dont think that the media should exploit those divides for print material.That information should be left to the campaigns. Just yesterday I saw someone use the unreasonable logic,that because Obama was receiving 90%+ of the black vote ,that made Obama a racist. So I beg of the media please stop giving these divisive people a bone to chew on let them work for it rather than hand it to them. Sincerly a devoted fan of First Read

The black racism in the North Carolina win cannot triumph over the nomination process. The Indiana win of a mere 9 counties by Obama out of more than 100 counties cannot triumph over the nomination process. Florida and Michigan must be counted; the remaining states must vote; and the superdelegates must use their independent judgment to select the best qualified candidate for the presidency and that is Hillary Clinton. The fight for the future of America continues.

Hillary has loaned herself $11.4 billion over the last 60 days. Her "Game Changer" moment came from her pandering on the gas tax without offering viable reveneu offsets for the program. To call anyone against her an "Elitist" only goes so far. Her ego and loans will not allow her to exit until the Oregon and Kentucky primaries are over. What she wants is an Obama" bail out" of her $11.4 million. Kind of funny how she decries bailout for the rich when she tries to get one herself. It's time to go Hillary for the good of the party.

As to the party division, if this thing ends sooner rather than later, there will be time for Clinton supporters to get away from the emotions of the race, and make a more calculating determination about whether they want to vote for Obama, McCain, someone else or none of the above.

Some won't back Obama. That happens with every nominee every election, even when there aren't competitive primaries. Some party members just don't like their nominee, and cross over or don't vote. It remains to be seen if Obama will have a larger problem than is traditionally the case, and now when emotions are most raw and disappointment (heightened by media myth-perpetuation) highest, isn't the time to ask people about it.

It is time to unite. Both Hillary and Barack seemed to be saying that in their speeches last night. And I think we should follow their lead. After all, if these two people, who have bravely fought for 15 months to become our candidate, can find it in their hearts to extend the olive branch to one another, then why can't the rest of us? Despite the hurt feelings, frustrations and anger over surrogate comments, political innuendo, embarrassing gaffes, and "misspeaks" -- Democrats still have much to rejoice about. Because we have a chance to win back the White House in November. We have a real chance to get Universal Healthcare in this country. We have a chance to reverse the affects of global warming. We have a chance to end an unjust war in Iraq. Moreover, we have a chance to change the way politics is done in Washington DC. Therefore, after all that we've experienced during this sometimes "bitter" campaign, we've got to FORCE ourselves to put it all behind us now... for the sake of our children and their children, who are depending on us to turn this country around.

Both Hillary and Barack have made mistakes along the way. Neither are perfect. But voting for either of them is far better than voting for McSame.

So let's be GROWN-UPS so that our kids can have a better chance to grow up too.

Clinton supporters are saying they would vote for McCain. Wouldn't it be a kick in Rush Limbaugh's pants if he has energized a pro-Obama Republican voter base to such an extent that it will negate the votes from the Clinton crowd. Hmmmm.

Clinton will not urge her supporters to unite behind Obama; she only says she will fully support him (consciously failing to reach out to the all more important voters). Obama seeks to bring his supporters behind whoever is nominated- big difference.

If you can't win when your opponent is hated, mistrusted, cast down, lied on, talked about, slandered by the media, voters and close friends and you're getting your licks in while he's down then when can you win. On a good note I want to thank MSNBC for their fair reporting thru this process. I have switched my long time allegiance from CNN due to their bias on the election reporting. I have and others have repeatedly emailed them on this but they continue to be biased. The voters depend on the media to give us somewhat accurate but all of the facts on every candidate and CNN won't do this.

You lost, Hillary. It's that simple.
You ran a good race, and you tried your best and even your WORST, and it still was not enough to bring Obama down. You know it, and I know it, and all Clinton supporters know it:
You are finished. You are done. Game over.
It is time for you now, Hillary, to leave the race respectively and with honor. It is time, as you have said "to make sure we have a democrat in the White House" and it's time for you to make good on your promise. I think your supporters were fantastic, the race was fantastic, and certainly you gave Obama a run for his money.
Unfortunately, it was all: too little, too late.
It is time to heal our party and it is time to take the fight to McCain. We still need you Hillary, but we now need you in a different capacity.
Obama has won and you need to get out of his way, or at least stand by his side and we must now rally as ONE. Congratulations to Obama. We knew you could do it. Keep up the good work, keep taking the punches if they throw them, (and the repubs will) but take comfort for America has spoken:

The only argument Clinton has left is that she'll win the votes of white people who won't vote for a black man. Super delegates can't allow her to make that kind of argument.

As an Obama supporter, I want nothing more than to have him declared the nominee. But, my voice was heard when I voted on the first Super Tuesday. I have a feeling that if I lived in a state that had not yet voted, I would want my chance to take part.

So I say stay in Hillary, but it's time to change your gameplan. You cannot win this nomination. What you need to do now is begin repairing the damage that has been done to this party by helping to bridge the divide. Stop giving the Republicans ammunition against Obama.

Do what is right for the country, put aside all the hate that has built up over the past couple of months and think about your future, and that of your children/grandchildren.

Hillary needs a few days to change her schedule. Start looking for the march of the superdelegates. I would guess a call to Edwards is in order as he has about 19 pledged delegates that will shift to Obama.

With Hillary loaning herself another 6.5 million, I don't see donors reaching into their pockets to give Hillary some of their money.

I am a registerd Independent and Obama supporter. I have said many things about Clinton and it actually got a bit nasty, but nowhere near as nasty as it could have been and no where as nasty as I'm sure the Republicans are going to be. Wounded animals are sometimes the most dangerous.

Anyone voting for McCain will do this country more harm than any terrorist could ever do. If we continue on our current path, 20 years from now gas will be $20 a gallon, the dollar will be totally worthless, the average American will not be able to even dream of owning a home, more bridges in our states will collapse and kill our citizens, our planet will be dying due to global warming and we will still be in Iraq.

We have a 9 trillion dollar debt. This is a MAJOR reason things are so bad right now. George Bush and the Republicans are a major reason for this debt but so are we. We got too greedy and too selfish and decided to allow Congress to spend our money and when that ran out, we allowed them to borrow from China, Japan, The UAE etc. Yes I said it . WE THE PEOPLE SAT BY AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!!!!

How will we tell our children in 20 years that we had a chance to change all of this for the better, but we chose to be petty and vote or stay home out of spite instead of voting out of a conviction that we as a nation need to change? How can we tell our children to stop being petty with their siblings and friends when we are still petty over race, gender, age, etc?

Do we allow our selfishness and fears to keep us from doing what we all know in our heart of hearts is right?

Not this time. We are ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. I love this country and believe in those words. I hope we all do.

A WARNING TO ALL DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS: Don't let this victory go to your heads. Serve the people. If you don't we will unite again and figure out something that works. Even if it means forming a third party.

There are many strong female leaders in politics and business these days and many who have the potential to be President in the near term (near being in twenty years or so).

My daughter already believes she can do anything she puts her mind too and so does my son. They just don't need Hillary (or Barack for that matter) to prove anything to them. They already see women (like Jodi Rell, our governor) and people of color (both of their school principals just as one example) in positions of great leadership. They don't judge anyone on race or gender.

I'm just surprised you see Hillary as our only hope. That honestly flumoxes me. That, I guess, is the great divide.
