Big Clinton wins don't boost her in national poll

go hilary, woohoooooo! hehe

Sen Clinton did not win in Texas. When the dust settles from the caucuses and the full delegate count is established, it will show that Sen Obama won by either 3 or 4 delegates.

Should McCain ask Hillary to be his running mate? She certainly acts like she wants the job this week with her compliments for him! Unfortunately, even McCain wouldn't be able to hold his nose long enough....

Hillery did not win in Texas. She claimed victor before the caucus delegates were counted.

After they were counted, Obama was ahead.

It's all a big mess. As a cross-over Republican for Obama, I see nothing but deceit and head games from Hillary. She'd pick up those votes in a minute without regard to the fairness of it. All she wants to do is win. And I don't look for her to ease up even at the National Convention. This is definitely not politics as usual. It's much worse.

Whether Clinton-Obama or Obama Clinton, the most important thing is for the Democratic party to lead a long-term agenda for building a stronger America and global community. It is time for all democrats to come to grips with the peril our country and world community is in. It is not about Obama or Clinton, it is about the democratic party engaging over the long term the American spirit and innovative mind to address the monumental challenges we face.

The Clinton's are doing a good job of keeping there campaign fraud trail out of the media. Wonder why Obama is not alerting the public of this? Or maybe he's waiting for here to release her white house records for her to expose herself?

The Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll has exactly opposite results for 3/09: Hillary, 47%; Obama, 45%. Rasmussen does show a boost for HRC after Texas and Ohio, HRC going up to, 49% and BO down to 43% on 3/7. In the Rasmussen poll Clinton has led Obama since March 3.

Lets rally around Hillary because we need Conservatives to rally around McCain, the better canidate.

Obama will be a great president. The democratic Party should nominate Barack Obama not Hillary Clinton. He will be a great president to bring the divided country together and to change our negative image in the world.

The American people need and deserve a functioning government to deal with pressing domestic issues. Obama's proven ability to bring Independent voters, many Republicans and millions of Democrats together is sorely needed. Hillary represents the confrontation domestically and in foreign policy that has brought us to the sorry mess we're in now. The Federal government is paralyzed by bitter partisanship and the Clintons represent more of the same. Why would Rush Limbaugh have urged Republicans to vote for Hillary in Texas if he didn't think that would play right into the hands of the conservative right? Hillary is a loser and Barack is a winner for all of us.

Hillary's "significant win" in Texas? The projected Texas caucus results show that Obama won more Texas delegates than Hillary! Why is this fact being ignored by every pundit in the media?

Repeat after me: Obama won Texas. Obama won Texas. Obama won Texas!

In fact, Obama has already won this nomination! His lead can't be overturned in any realistic scenario. It's shameful for Hillary to beg superdelegates to overthrow the will of the Democratic voters. Any decent Democrat would bow out of the race, rather than attacking the certain Democratic nominee and praising his Republican opponent!

But Hillary is willing to praise John McCain as a fine commander-in-chief -- never mind his support of Bush's torture bill veto -- so "decent" is out of the picture. But could we at least stop spreading this black-is-white, night-is-day nonsense?

Obama! Won! Texas! Pass it on.

With all do respect, the person who wrote the article or choose the title does not understand anything in statistics. The title says "Big Clinton wins don't boost her in national poll" and the article itself give two identical number.
If you refer to real politics site, you would recognize that indeed that the Clinton big win has slightly reversed the trend and now both candidates are equal within statistical errors. Also they are equally capable of beating McCain. Hence the clear advantage of Mr. Obama during the last two weeks is erased, a conclusion that is in contrast with your title.

Hillary 08!

Caucuses are barbaric; I can't believe any state still uses them. Look at the reports out of TX and WY; there wasn't enough room at many caucus locations to admit everyone in line. In TX, people were intimidated by one candidate's supporters to either change their vote or leave; many left. Still others were reluctant to enter an unfamiliar private home. A vote is supposed to be a private matter, not something public, and certainly not something akin to a high school bully session.

Even if she gains a little, she will hit a brick wall. Most Americans know that Hillary is one of the most scandal plagued politicians in this country. There is a majority who will not vote for her to avoid dragging the nation into internal fights when there are too many problems we have to focus on now. The republican machine is itching for her to get the nomination to make her scandals a center stage of this election. Before we vote for her, let us take a preview of how vulnerable she is here .. http://www.therant.us/staff/swirsky/03132006.htm

tis the price you pay for delving into Rovism in a democratic primary

Obama & Clinton need to kiss and make up!
I happen to favor only one of the candidates above however;
the greater good needs to be looked at right now !
Do the democrats want the $2
trillion dollar war to end and jump start the US into cleaning up the White House ?
Both candidates need to realistically look at the facts. It is a dead heat and
will last right until the convention plus the blunder in Michigan and Florida.
The candidates if they truly believe in the greater good must unite right now ! Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton in the Whitehouse. A dream Team to correct the horrible mess of George Bush II.
Seperately they just might lose the election. The USA dose not need four or eight more years of a absolutely horrible immoral war which was started on a lie by a Republican ! Please kiss and make up.
God Bless the USA

That's right, Angela. And the media really dropped the ball on this one. The headlines should have been "Texas Outcome Uncertain Pending Results of Caucuses." Followed by the subhead: Obama Slated to Win Caucuses by Wide Margin." Unfortunately, by the time the count becomes official, the Texas primary will be ancient history.

"go hilary, woohoooooo! hehe"

And they say Americans are inarticulate boobs.

Go figger.

This article is focusing on the wrong data. Right now, the only two things that should matter are: (1) Who will have the most delegates at the convention? Obama; and (2)the most beneficial to the Democratic Party in the congressional races? Again, by an overwhelming margin, it's Obama. Having Obama at the top of the ticket would increase the Democratic majorities in the house and senate. Looking at it from a practical perspective, 43% of all voters in the United States have an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton. There's no way that Hillary Clinton, starting with such high negatives, would help Democratic candidates. With her incredibly high negatives, Hillary is destined to lose the National race. She knows that. That's why she is desparately pleading for Democrats to send Obama to the back of the bus (even though he'll have the most pledged delegates) as her Vice-President--that's the only way she could win. But there's no logical reason to do that. Many "Recovering Republicans" like me, and independents, intend to vote for Obama in the General Election, but would NOT vote for a CLINTON/OBAMA ticket. The best hope that the Democratic Party has to win the Presidency in 2008 is NOT to send Obama to the back of the bus; it's to throw Clinton under the bus!

We live in NZ and have become fascinated by your Elections. If I were a resident in the US I would go with Obama, he does seem more sincere. The Clintons fight very dirty, are cunning, manipulative and I think she behaves like a common, hard old shrew.
Give the broom to the new sweeper.

my only question is..
Can Obama beat John McCain? I doubt it, because he lost in every big/critical states...except for IL.

It's worth noting that Hillary Clinton lost in the Texas Primary/Caucus system, with fewer delegates and fewer votes in the combined contest.

Obama performed significantly better than all polls would indicate a few weeks before either Texas or Ohio.

Hillary Clinton gained little on March 4, except a big but brief media show. Obama will have actually won a delegate majority in Texas of about 7 and Hillary's net gain from the vote on March 4 (Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont) will only be about 5 delegates. And that number will be wiped out by Obama's massive gains in Wyoming and Mississippi, where a massive win for him on Tuesday is guaranteed. So Obama's will have bested Hillary in the delegate-race, by 3 or so for March. And, while Hillary may win in Pennsylvania, Obama will almost certainly win by a much bigger majority in the final “big state”, North Carolina in early May. And reasonable estimates for the remaining races suggest that, barring some catastrophic decline in his support-base, Obama will continue to gain in the remaining races, until his majority of democratically elected delegates will be around 200, and he already has a vote majority of roughly 1 million, which will also increase. So, in the face of that, any attempt by Hillary to convince the “Superdelegates” to overturn the democratic will of us Democrats would simply destroy our party. So her continued negative campaign is really hopeless and can only play into the hands of the Republicans.

John F Kennedy lost Ohio in the 1960 primaries but won Wyoming to go on to become the Democratic nominee. I trust cowboy common sense.

"Hillary Clinton gained little on March 4, except a big but brief media show. Obama will have actually won a delegate majority in Texas of about 7 and Hillary's net gain from the vote on March 4 (Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont) will only be about 5 delegates."

So true. But the media, looking for a "new" story has bought into the Hillary-the-Phoenix crappola.

Watch the Clintons raze the party for ego and bald ambition. Sleaze-bags to the last.

Breaking News!!! Major Political Scandal!!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucasus. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican cheating.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket now! All democrats need to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton. So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton's. Only the Clinton's are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your WINNER! They are the best I have ever seen.

You should be angry America. "This is not a game" (Hillary Clinton)

Sincerely

jacksmith...

More and more the country is seeing through the Clinton's desperation to get back into the Oval Office. Hillary always wanted to be "Commander-in-Chief"; Bill has sold access to a future occupancy of the White House; Chelsea is doing what an obedient child does.

Clinton and "W" both lived in the White House and claimed that as "experience" qualifying them to run the nation. Both have surrogates that play the dirtiest politics I've ever seen, both lie and lie and lie without having to pay the piper. I don't think it is McCain who will be third term for Bush, it is Hillary. I wish people would remember how devisive the Clintons were. Had their personal lives not been so dysfunctional, perhaps Bill could have focused on getting bin Laden in '98 when he bombed a few American embassies. Clinton was too embroiled in right wing personal attacks. If we want a replay of the saga of Bill and Hillary, we are periously close to getting it. Who would vote for someone who, in the information age, cannot release records that have been in finished form for a long time? Americans are not too bright, are they?

Speaking of scandal-plagued campaigns, can we hear about the Clinton camp's response to a $100,000 Hillraiser with ties to a Jewish-dealer-in-Iraqi-body-parts movie, who is stepping out now even though the campaign was asked about this a month ago? (See Marc Ambinder's blog.) They've set the level of scrutiny of associates they want (and speed of denouncing and rejecting) with the Powers affair. And what's to be done with all his donations?

In terms of general election postulating, it strikes me that Obama's big wins in small states is MORE impressive and important for the party's chance in November than Hillary's narrow wins in big states.

In light of recent shenanigans, its impossible to know what would happen in Ohio and Florida with either candidate versus McCain, but Obama looks to have a much better chance of turning red states blue, such as Virginia, Wyoming, Missouri and others. Either Democrat would be nearly assured of winning California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey and nearly assured of losing Texas, so I don't see Hillary's wins in these states being as relavent in the general election.

Barack Obama has fared better against John McCain than Hillary Clinton has since the earliest days of the primary campaign.

I pray that Hillary will not rip the party apart and hand the presidency to John McCain in her losing effort to secure the nomination that does not belong to her on account of the plurality of states, votes, and pledged delegate counts which all favor Senator Barack Obama.

I am baffled by Mr. James' use of the lead-off phrase "Sen. Hillary Clinton's significant wins in Texas and ...". Surely Mr. James has done his homework and found that Clinton LOST in Texas. This article is a sure way to discredit Mr. James' reporting acumen in short order. Why print anything at all? Surely no article is better than inaccuracy and pontification.

What a bunch of BS from the Obama supporters.

FYI... Hillary did win in Texas by almost 4% popular vote. I know the Obama website is counting wins as where he got more delegates (even if only one more) as in Nevada.

But the Obama campaign cannot have it both ways because when it comes to delegate counts, then Obama did NOT win Missouri.

This is similar to the Obama campaign argument that the superdelegates should support the will of the people in their state, but in fact are not willing to address the issue of Hillary winning Massachusetts while Kennedy and Kerrey support Obama.

Get real folks!!!

Maybe Frank James or Rick Pearson or a forum reader can answer my question.

Let's say there's a do-over for Florida and Michigan, regardless of how it's done.

And let's say Clinton and Obama pretty much end up with a tie in both states, or perhaps Clinton wins each state by 5% or so.

Aren't we back at square one again, in that roughly the same total number of delegates will separate the two candidates as they do now?

Won't we just be in the same place we are today?

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any answer you might provide.

Very sadly Clinton is willing to say absolutely anything to get elected. The bigger the lie, the better she figures, because it's all an ego trip for her and Bill. Her childish comments, like give Barack another pillow in the debate! are shameful for a person asking to become the next President of the most powerful country on Earth.
The whole world need Barack Obama, not just America.

Check the trend lines:
http://www.pollster.com/

Clinton vs. Obama
Clinton vs. McCain
Obama vs. McCain

Now draw your own conclusions. "It's all down, Hill, from here!"

In fact, Hillary was behind in the national polls until the big wins this past week which moved her ahead of Obama in the national polls.

Something everyone should know is that Barack Obama has been the victim of a false e-mail "whispering campaign" that he is Muslim and does not say the Pledge of Allegiance. This has been proven false hundreds of times by newsweek, CNN and other reliable news outlets, and can be checked out on snopes.com and various other urban legend fact checking websites.

The Clinton and McCain campaigns have both been party to this slime by saying Obama's not been "vetted", by emphasizing his middle name, Hussein, and by saying that Obama's wife is not patriotic, thereby keeping the idea viable in the minds of susceptible voters. This country is better than that. Our founding documents declare that we must be better than that.

Obama is a committed Christian who speaks openly about accepting Christ into his life, and about the role our individual faiths have in the public domain. He taught Constitutional Law in Chicago, and introduced a bill in Illinois that required high school students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in school. He's literally putting his life on the line to run for President because he loves this country and the promise it holds for Liberty and Justice for All.

I respect the rights of those who choose not to vote for Obama because of his policies, or simply because another candidate appeals more to their personal ideals. But this country deserves to know the truth, and those who would lie about a good person in order to seek office do not deserve the privilege of serving the people of this country.

One of the men on 60 minutes last Sunday said he liked Obama but was not sure about voting for someone with his "background". I wonder how many others have been fooled?

As an Obama volunteer I encountered many voters in Ohio, Wisconsin and Rhode Island who seriously thought Obama is a Muslim. Word of mouth and email blasts, coupled with the innuendo by the Clinton and McCain camps and bolstered by Hannity and Limbaugh, have done a great deal of damage. Even if you support another candidate you must view this kind of lying smear as immoral and harmful to our democracy. It's time to say "enough" to this kind of politics.

Let's make the more qualified candidate, Hillary, our next president and then Barack the VP - eight yrs of on the job training then eight years of the presidency = 16 years of great democratic policy for the American people!!

For those who say Obama won Texas:
If one candidate wins a primary by anything other than a razor thin margin, and the other candidate wins a different vote later that day which garners significantly lower turnout and gets more delegates, does that mean the second candidate won the state? Of course not. It means the method of election (and caucusing in general) is flawed and biased towards the wealthy and those with lots of time on their hands.

Seattle for Obama! I just got back from Mexico and am headed for my checkbook, to make a donation!!

Instead of being bias, why not post the actual numbers and let the readers make their conclusion? For example, what was the score for both candidates before and after? Did Clinton close the gap? Did Obama extend the gap?

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA CANNOT WIN IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

BIG STATES REPERESENT BIG ELECTORAL VOTES.

CLINTON WON ALL BIG STATES EXCEPT ILLINOIS.

If the PIAPS manages to steal the nomination from Obama, he should not accept being her VP.
He should distance himself from the train wreck her administration is likely to be.
He could be tainted forever. Most VPs haven’t become POTUS either.

Letting Powers go was a mistake, Obama has shown himself to be subservient to the PIAPS.
Great post. Obama’s aide was right. Hillary is a monster. Of course not the same kind of
monster as Hitler, Mao or Stalin, but a monster nonetheless.

How ironic that the "little girl" in the 3:00 a.m. commercial is actually an Obama supporter!!!...and says she really wouldn't mind she and Obama making a commercial together!!! People, please, give this serious thought...Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, then Clinton AGAIN???? Who does this woman think she IS??? The proof is in the pudding...we've ALREADY SEEN how these people abused the White House!!! And their deviousness has totally turned a lot of people off on them FOREVER!!!

THE OBAMA FACTOR

The BIG factor in the Bill Foster election was the help that Obama gave to him.

The Obama campaign opened its on-line phone bank to make calls for Foster, as well as having Barack Obama make television ads, and endorsements for Foster (as well as stumping for him).

This shows conclusively that Obama has "coat-tails" that can get other Democrats elected....very important since there will be up to (if not more) 30 Republican vacancies coming up in '08.

Obama's "coattails" can get Democrats elected in tradionally Republican strongholds...

Hillary cannot.

Something that will SURELY be noticed by the Democratic Party (as well as the Republican Party)

GO OBAMA ! (if you are a Democrat)

Go Hillary ! (if you are a Republican

Regarding the malicious people who INSIST ON keeping the lies about Senator Obama going, I never thought I would see it, but I really believe that people are more sophisticated and also INFORMED these days and are making their OWN INFORMED CHOICES!!! THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARIES AND CAUCUSES SHOW THAT!!! How pathetic THAT THESE BEINGS (I'll SKIP THE "human" part; anytime you try to ruin someone on purpose...well...) only have trying to bring down someone who only wants to try to restore our country to what it HAS BEEN AND COULD BE AGAIN AS THEIR "main mission" in their sad little life!!!

I'm an observer in NZ fascinated by the way Americans do politics. One thing that has intrigued me is the criticism Obama has received because of his oratory skills. Just because Pavarotti sounded magnificent and inspired people it doesn't mean he isn't an intelligent and thoughtful musician who fully understands what he's been singing about. Compelling drama all the same!

End the drams, vote Obama.

Hillary is a monster.

"absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
elect women presidents

who cover for their husbands
who rape other women"

It's absurd that ANY woman would vote for the Hill, who directed the character assassination of any woman who dared to expose BubbaJeff's sexual predations.

So much for sisterhood, when it runs up against venal ambition.

"Shame on you, Hillary Clinton."

Stop pretending that winning a caucus in Wyoming is any kind of win at all. I went to Texas from California, and I saw what a disaster it was with the caucuses. Hillary Clinton won the Primary, and the caucuses were completely unorganized and ultimately currupt. Out of 5 precincts in this one area, 2 had Clinton Precinct captains, and 5 Obama Precinct captains. There was supposed to be an eyewitness to each voter who stepped up from both sides, and there simply was not!!!

That is outrageous. This is the United States of America. Wake up people! There can be no auditions in the White House.B.O. is not ready and it is obvious. Hillary Clinton has 1.1 million more democrat votes than B.O. has. THAT HAS TO SAY SOMETHING!
Hillary Clinton 2008

Besides Clintons pending fraud trial in California, and the release of Kathleen Willeys book. Her are more reasons that the Clinton should never be the Dem nominee. Just because Obama has not gone after her for these don't think that the Republicans won't. They would have a glorious field day, that would take the Dems YEARS to recover from!!!

Lesson one: A thief must never call the police to investigate anything.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign suggests that Senator Barack Obama is somehow corrupt because one of his former political donors, Chicago realtor, Tony Rezko is under trial for corruption.

To begin with, one of Senator Hillary Clinton’s past donors Norman Hsu, who gave her $850,000 was a corrupt embezzler who tried to flee and even attempted suicide in the midst of his own corruption trial last year.

Desperate, after Senator Obama had won 11 states in a row and built his insurmountable delegates count which now stands at 150, Senator Clinton decided to focus on sliming Obama. Now nothing is out of bounds.

Many people believe the name “Clinton” is synonymous with “Corruption.” A google search of “Clintons” and “scandal” yields 10,200,000 hits. A search of “Obamas” and “scandal” yields 1,570,000 hits.

The Clinton’s should be the last people to talk about corruption, scandals, and integrity. They are one of the most immoral, amoral, and perhaps corrupt political couples in history. While Senator Obama won’t bring up the issue, even after the Clintons continue “throwing the kitchen sink” at him, some politicians and major newspaper columnists are now beginning to raise questions.

This is what respected Obama supporter and former New Jersey senator Bill Bradley told PBS’s “Newshour,” this past Wednesday: "I think Barack Obama has a much stronger chance of beating John McCain in the general election. I think Hillary is flawed in many ways, and particularly if you look at her husband's unwillingness to release the names of the people who contributed to his presidential library. And the reason that is important -- you know, are there favors attached to $500,000 or $1 million contributions? And what do I mean by favors? I mean, pardons that are granted; investigations that are squelched; contracts that are awarded; regulations that are delayed. These are important questions. The people deserve to know. And we deserve, as Democrats, to know before a nominee is selected, because we don't want things to explode in a general election against John McCain."

The Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, also writes that Hillary Clinton is “the most divisive figure in the country” and adds that people “have reason to view her as dark, dissembling, thuggish.” She also wonders: “Why aren’t we talking about impeachment, Whitewater and Osama?”

Noonan is obviously referring to the impeachment of Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill Clinton, who was too busy molesting the intern Monica Lewinsky with a cigar when the red phone was ringing; and she is asking about the Whitewater land deal scandal that also involved the Clintons; and, finally she refers to the fact that commander in chief Bill Clinton waffled when he was provided intelligence of Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts, allowing him to escape.

Senator Clinton says she’s experienced having learned from her husband’s administration. That should be an excellent reason why she shouldn’t pick up the red phone at 3 AM.

What does all this have to do with the current presidential campaign? That’s the question senator Clinton should have done before she launched the “kitchen sink” attacks rather than sticking with the campaign issues.

Lesson two: If you have dirty underwear never call for underwear inspections.

Poor Hillary - she actually thinks she won Texas. Actually, Rusn Limbaugh convinced his listeners to vote for Hillary since their candidate was locked up. He did this so them dems could keep on fighting. Poor Hillary won by only 4 points in a state she was expected to win by double digits. Does she really think she won fair and square? lol lol

Katie: Who do you know who DOES have on the job experience??? Just STOP with this silly argument that because she toured the world with HER HUSBAND the prez she has PRESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE!!!

Amazing Obama keeping pace with the political queen of mean!

Hillary release your taxes! What are you hiding?

"Let's make the more qualified candidate, Hillary, our next president and then Barack the VP - eight yrs of on the job training then eight years of the presidency = 16 years of great democratic policy for the American people" - Catherine

Based on what?

Better idea
Let's make Hillary the President in 2008 and then Chelsea Clinton the Prez in 2016. OH my God. Like that would be so great. And then, just to be fair, we could let Jenna Bush be Prez in 2024.

Why is Hillary qualified? I think Chelsea has just as much experience as Hill.

It's becoming increasingly clear to voters across this country that Hillary Clinton will try to win the nomination by destroying Barack Obama and not building a strong case for herself. She will do and say anything to win.

As of March 9 (one day after Wyoming), Obama has a 110 delegate lead over Clinton when pledged delegates and super delegates who have declared their preference is considered. Clinton has to win 60% of the remaining primary elections overall to even the score.

Unless Obama is found to be a secret martian spy, the race is over.

Based on what I've read on this board, I think McCain will beat Hillary and Obama. I think there's too much animosity between the Obama supporters and Hillary supporters for Democrats to win in November. Do the math. McCain = 100% Republicans. Hillary=50% Democrats. Obama=50% Democrats.

To our friend in NZ: I THINK what you were trying to say is that people are impressed by Senator Obama's oratory skills, but that doesn't mean he'd be a good president. Does the fact that he put himself through Harvard (a school that a lot of applicants wouldn't even be ACCEPTED TO), TAUGHT CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AT THE #7 RANKED UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD (THE University of Chicago) for 10 years, AND HAS PASSED MANY BILLS THAT ARE NOT JUST NAMING SCHOOLS, ETC. SUCH AS SENATOR CLINTON, BUT WERE VERY SERIOUS AND SUBSTANTIVE COUNT FOR ANYTHING??? (CHECK THEIR RECORDS AND COMPARE.)

I know this has been posted and posted, but you in the media do not seem to be able to grasp the reality so I will post it once again: Hillary Clinton did not "win big" in Texas. Obama will take more delegates than she.

Maxine and Angela Duh the primary and caucus in Texas were two different entities. And they were expected to have two separate outcomes. Hillary won the primary in TX and the caucus is still too close to determine, and I believe it will remain that way unless they make it an even split. Do the two of you know anything?

"It's becoming increasingly clear to voters across this country ..."

I pray that this is true, at least to the extent that it forestalls a third, sordid Billary term.

Hillary had a lot of help beating Barack from her republican friends in TX. That is a fact people. I am not in the least surprised that Hillary has not risen in the polls. She has and always will have a big negative number even among democrats. The public has known this candidate for a very long time and so at this point those who like her still will, and those that oppose her are only digging in deeper. Barack is still getting his fair share of supporters, but now I see on many blogs he is getting much more scrutiny which is only right and at some point he will have to be very specific about his plans for America. At this point, not enough is known about this man to other than his well orchestrated revival speech about "hope".

I'm with you uspace, Hillary should find herself a real candidate for her Vice President. There are a number of better choices out there and Obama isn't one of them.
Way to go Micah I'm with you let's get rid of the caucuses and let everyone have a say in the decision, not only the lazy no goods that don't work or have anything better to do with several hours.

U of Chi Mon, that's about as ironic as the Obama Girl being for Hillary, it's called tit for tat. Now we are even. And besides the 3 am girl is just looking for some publicity time, and she thought this would get it for her.

Jacksmith I am a Republican whose state has not voted yet. If I decide to vote Democrat for Obama, it will not be for a scandal, nor will it be because I feel he will be the weaker candidate against McCain. If I vote for Obama, it will be because if the candidate I vote for in the general election does not win, then I would be honored to have the other as President of the United States. I have been voting for 34 years, this is the first time in my life I'm truly undecided which party I'm going to vote for. If Hillary wins the Democratic nominee, I know for certain I will remain a republican. Not a scandal, but whats best for our country. Obama vs. McCain, 2 great candidates who both would make great presidents. Its a win win situation, look at the big picture.

Laramee, Obama's connection to the IL political scum is showing. He is still connected to the crooks of IL.l

big O for press.

I totally agree with this statement and I'm a democrat: "Many 'Recovering Republicans' like me, and independents, intend to vote for Obama in the General Election, but would NOT vote for a CLINTON/OBAMA ticket. The best hope that the Democratic Party has to win the Presidency in 2008 is NOT to send Obama to the back of the bus; it's to throw Clinton under the bus!"

I'LL GO 3rd PARTY IF HELLARY'S NAME APPEARS ANYWHERE ON THE BALLOT.

It doesnt matter who the next president is because Bush has screwed this country so bad that we wont dig out for twenty years. Thats how long it will take to get off Arab oil.

Here it comes, and it's bound to be on the New York Times bestseller list for YEARS to come. From best selling political "FICTION" writer Hillary Clinton it's "How to Steal an Election in Modern Post 9/11 America". Coming soon to a polling place near YOU!

Hillary has already been #2 in the White House for eight years, she's not going to agree to playing second-fiddle again.
The only combined ticket that might happen would be Clinton-Obama, not Obama-Clinton. Barack would accept the #2 spot since it would be his stepping stone to #1.

That "big win" in Texas was actually a loss, but the Trib is too busy reporting on the latest SNL skit to include a story here.

It's not about Hillary, it is about Obama, he is the leader and he needs to win the big states with the momentum behind him. At some point, if he did not win these big states like Pennsylania, Floria and Michigan Democrats inlcuding his supporters will start questioning the process.

Our country is in terrible shape, economically, morally and politically. We desperately need a leader with fresh ideas and with the courage to help us face the multitude of problems that we have. I do not believe that Hillary is that person. She would be more of the same that we have experienced in recent years. I do believe that Barack Obama would be the person to give us a new sense of purpose and dedication.

If your husband is a doctor, could you perform surgery?

Nothing can give anyone experience to be president. The closest you come is governor, because you control many similar agencies, which is why most of our presidents have been ex-governors.

At least Obama hasn't bankrupted his campaign like Hillary and McCain. After Bush bankrupted every business he touched, it's no surprise he bankrupted the country. I think Hillary would be more of the same.

And she will spend the next 4 years so obsessed with her health care plan, she won't get anything else done.

The country is doomed if she gets in. And God help us all if Bill is in the White House with a lot of time on his hands, he already showed us what he does when he's busy.

To keep track of Texas. 46% reporting from the caucuses, Obama over Clinton. Here's the results

To hell with Sybil er I meant Hillary. She is positioning herself to steal the damn election. Beware Dean and other romans bearing gifts. Obama has and will win the most delegates no changing of the rules in midstream for her hateful ass self.

Barack and Roll in 2008 for the good of America.

ABH
Anybody but Hillary

I think it is wishful thinking that BO can be a wonderful president. I think his uncontrolled advisers will run the white house where he has to show a good face like Bush while the advisers run the show like Chenney. With Hillary in White House she doesn't need a gang to run the place. She knows it all.

Friend from NZ. No Mary D, on the contrary. I mean I am amazed that Senator Obama is described as empty because of his oratory and communicative gifts. Such gifts are seen by many, for some unknown reason, as inconsistent with depth and substance. As suggested Pavarotti (and Caruso) were criticised, in the music world, for their masterly commicative gifts and quality singing, on the very same basis. For some reason, the rational is, if you're so emotionally uplifting in what you communicate to others there's no substance to it. I just don't follow that rational. Why is a speech that is rehearsed, monotonous and riddled with cliches and slogans any more substantive than one that is not?

You know it is just plain ignorant to keep saying that George Bush is the one and only who got us into the war in Iraq. Congress saw the same information that GW saw and voted to go to war in Iraq. I get it - you hate GW, but stop revising history. GW and Congress reviewed the same information and concluded that the US should go to war in Iraq. I hate this da m war also, but I do know that it was started based on erroneous information. I would be more worried that if Obama saw the same information that GW and Congress saw (not knowing it was erroneous at the time) that he would not feel any need to protect our Nation. The first and most important responsibility of the President of the US is for he or she to protect its citizens. We don't need Obama trying to "make nice" with terrorists. That's just insane. With regards to caucuses, they are completely outdated and should not be used. Obama likes caucases because often they are later in the day when voters who are 65+ years old do not usually go out to vote. This take away from a large constituency of Hillary Clinton's. Obama has padded himself with pledged delegates from States that will not matter at all in aiding the Democrats in November. McCain will most likely crush Obama in the general election. Why do you think Republicans are crossing party lines during primaries and voting for Obama? Obama's rhetoric and lack of the ability to address any question requiring more than a sermon will get very old by the end of this summer. You better hope Hillary is the Democratic candidate. Obama is an empty vessel dressed up by the likes of Ted Kennedy, Oprah Winfrey (head big enough?), Tom Daschle and all the other socialists. You are getting false positives on this guy. Wait until November -- you'll see.

Susie, John F. Kennedy did not win Ohio and did win Wyoming - that is correct, but he actually ended up not winning most of the popular vote in the general election. However, Kennedy's mafia ties and muscle made sure he won the election. Corruption in election continues to rear its ugly head. The Republicans are voting for Obama in the Dem primaries now to try and make him McCain's opponent. Currently, this is still legal, but it is going to make the Dem Party nominate the wrong candidate.

To Hillary Supporters!

I watched Hillary, for two plus hours on C-span, when she was campaigning in New Hampshire, and found her remarkable, exciting, and compelling as well as totally inspiring...

I watched a few days later her husband Bill, do his stuff, and again was amazed at the intellect of both these Clintons, and it simply occurred to me how incredibly smart theses people truly are. I thought, what a gift and inspiration for us as Democrats, to have them as leaders of our party.

Later, I thought why can't they just present their case, and just be happy in doing that? They are so thoroughly gifted in selling their programs… I then again asked myself, why do they have to resort to the “Machiavellian dirty tricks” they are so famous for?…Why I ask, with all their knowledge, and presentation capabilities, did they “blow it” for us, by micro managing their campaign as well as setting the tone for below the belt political tactics?…Because of their behavior, they have easily moved me into Obama’s camp! They simply outsmarted themselves!… How sad is that?

Apparently the Clintons, never saw Obama coming, and they didn’t think he would rise to be the force of contention that he has. Its true our party primary process has been remarkable to watch. I think, and pray the voice of the people will be heard. But the Clintons have now failed us. Hillary must be forced to end her fight to become leader of our party. Her blind ambition has to be stopped.

Now how do we stop the insanity, the bleeding that's been brought to “Our Democratic Party,” (“The Peoples Party“) because of the Clintons. It seems sadly, they didn’t realize, that most of us would have stuck by them simply on their merit alone…They now have shown us their true colors, and poor judgment. It’s time now for Democrats to re-unite our party around Obama, and win the election in November!

Pete Durand, “Cabby, in Santa Barbara California. “

Actually, Hillary Clinton's primary victories in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island have… brought her into a statistical dead heat with Sen. Barack Obama among registered Democrats and Democratic leaners, according to a new national Newsweek Poll.

"Sen. Hillary Clinton's significant wins in Texas and Ohio primaries on Tuesday haven't translated into noticeable momentum for her in Gallup's latest tracking poll."

Thats because the people know that Texas was not a significant win for Hillary. In fact when the caucus there is over Obama will gain more delegates than Clinton. The most delegates wins the contest!

"Obama says her vote in the Senate to authorize the war in Iraq shows her lack of good judgment and he also questions the basis of her claim to experience."
Well, the fact is she didn't see Obama coming; that shows a lack of good judgement. Ran her campaign into a state of almost bankruptcy; could not pay staff and had to lend it 5mil. Is this experience?? And where did the 5mil come from? Show your tax returns Hillary! Maybe there is more your trying to hide from the people and courts. I'm sure Peter Paul would think so.

Clintons to face fraud trial

OBAMA WON TEXAS

Obama did not win Texas. You are probably still saying the Gore won in Florida in 2000 even though they hand counted all the votes and showed even without the Supreme Court's judgment, Gore still lost. Stop revising history and current events. Moron

For the first time in 43 years of my lifetime here in Dallas, TEXANS of all races/nationalities came together for the OBAMA ralleys. It was a feeling I have NEVER had in TX. For the first time in TX everyone talked, laughed and conversed regardless of race. THIS IS VERY RARE IN DALLAS TX!!!
The pictures the U.S. saw of the OBAMA turnout was mearly a tip of the ice burg. Never has there been so much joy for blacks in TX since JUNETEENTH(I think 1846!!!)or finding out "THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS" was a "BLACK MULOTTA"
Yes, OBAMA has brought the blues back to TEXAS revealing only "THE PECULIAR INSTITUTION IN TEXAS!!! OBAMA TOOK TEXAS BY A LAND SLIDE! Voting polls were not equipped in minority districts. There were no computers. The Caucus, was a JOKE! There were so many minorities other races left before the caucus. OBAMA WON TEXAS
and this is just one true TEXANS opinion.

After Clinton loses - she should be sent packing from the Democratic Party for her ego driven traitorous campaign.
