Hes still gonna win.

Please send Hillary somemore tissue, she may have to cry again near the end of this thing.

A Reformed Republican of DE Response

As a Reformed Republican of DE you should be sad to see lifelong Democrats voting for McCain.

I am sad as well, because Obama has:

Hoodwinked the African American community;

Bamboozled the liberal white community;

Engaged the mob community (why do you think he gets the largest labor unions to back him, and he has not labor background);

Got in bed with the far left wing in Chicago (terroristic thinkers against America);

Weekly attended and donated $22, 711.33 annually to a hate mongers church while hearing the hate preached; and most certainly,

Lies, lies, lies to the American people through speech after speech (because this ego maniac loves to hear his voice-just like other past dark historical meglomaniac figures).

Yes, you should be sad.

Finally, an Obama product we can access...

America needs hope and change. And there's no better way to get change than through OBAMAir, a product containing actual expired air from the lungs of junior senator from Illinois.

Big winner for president

With the racist white and America-hating follower of the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan desciple Barack Obama as the Democrats front runner, John McCain is the real big winner. Hillary's run proved that Obama can't get the votes of the white working class--usually Democratic voters--voters who elect the president in the general election. Hillary in the big states that count the most got 60 to 70 percent of these and these are the voters Obama needs and probably wont get in the November election. They'll either stay home or vote for McCain.

And by the way...

...thanks for the great article Mr. Barone! Finally, someone has stopped drinking the obama-press-koolaid! IT'S ABOUT TIME!!

Democratic Unity??????

...is just a bunch of BS!

There is no way half of the country is going to fall in line to vote for an in-experienced snake oil salesman (Obama) whose campaign, persona and message has been as skillfully manufactured as George W. Bushes! D. Axlerod = K. Rove, for sure. Obama will be another failure, but this time for the Dems!

Obama needs to lay off the doobies, get off his presumptuous pedestal and step aside! As the saying goes, "it ain't over 'til it's over." And all you naive obamabots better get a clue as to what is coming down the pike if a sham like Obama would ever get elected. He and his premise of hope would run our broken country into the ground!

What's this "we" stuff

Alecki of SC

Sorry, but you've mimicked the talking points of Fox News far too fluently for me to believe you are actually a Democrat or have even the slighesty inclination of voting for any Democrats this fall.

WHITE MAN'S TURN

IT WAS A WHITE MALE'S TURN EVERY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. THESE SO-CALLED FEMINIST WHITE WOMEN HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. A BI-RACIAL MAN APPEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH A CHANCE TO WIN AND SUDDENLY THEY DECIDE THAT IT'S ARMAGEGON. WOMAN'S TURN!

WHO ARE THEY KIDDING? QUIT THIS NONSENCE AND CALL IT WHAT IT IS!

And the Media President is...

Obama: The Media Elect

Obama has played this race by deception to Americans. He has lied about his background and his connections with radical, Anti American, anti semitic leaders until just a few months ago. He has hidden his relationship with Reverend Wright,, Farrakhan, the “Nation of Islam’ leader, Syrian Criminal, Anton Rezko and his Black Liberation Theology since the beginning of the primary. Most of my community have changed their minds about this man and will not vote for him in the general election because of this lies and deception.

This whole election process, especially not seating Florida and Michigan,with almost 400 delegates, is a disgrace for the American people. John King keep showing his map with only 48 states. These maps and math are convincing superdelegates that Obama is in the lead.

There are 50 states in our country. Obama has done everything in his power to convince everyone that there is only 48 by not having a revote or even seating them.

The postponement of seating these state is a deliberate act. Senator Obmama is deliberately postponing this decision to brag about his lead.

For those people that were too young to know President Clinton.He is not liked, but loved through out the world. Our country was thriving, the era was "upbeat" and there was peace in our country.

There is no way to compare "Bush" and Clinton. The Clintons were the BEST!

The media has painted President Clinton as a racist in spite of the fact that he has an office in Harlem. He could have had his office on 5th Avenue overlooking Central Park but chose to be near the African American people. His years in office were spent fighting for civil rights and for the underdog, especially African American.

The coverage of this campaign is disgraceful in this regard above all. African Americans should be ashamed of how they have treated all of the Clintons.

Trinity United Church of Christ, Tony Rezko the Syrian Criminal, Louis Farrakhan a radical "Nation of Islam"leader, William Ayers a 60’s radical that bombed government buildings and Muslim upbringing should be a wake up call to Democrats.

Please Democtats, we can not lose the chance of winning the White House with this deceptive candidte,that has known about these issues before the first primary and kept it away from the media until the end of this race.

Senator Obama will lose this election if he's the nominee.

Lastly and something that needs to be evaluated is the race issue; There will never be a fair an accurate poll determining how many people will really vote for Obama. McCain will win if the Democrats don't wake up.

On Fox News Sunday, Williams claimed Obama's Muslim father "presents a problem"

On the January 21 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams noted that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "comes from a father who was a Muslim" and added that "given that we're at war with Muslim extremists, that presents a problem."

How much more bad news do we need to know about a Democrat candidate before we realize that this man is laughing up his sleeve at all of us.

Wake up Democrats. We can not and will not win this election unless we run from Obama and start supporting the Clintons.

Please keep the unsettling issues pertaining to Senator Obama in the forefront.

There are too many issues surrounding this man that disturbs many Americans and believe me, there will be many more to come. The Republicans will destroy Senator Obama.

Popular Vote

Imagine a professional football team whining after a game that yes, they had fewer points that their opponents, but should be declared the winner because they gained more net yards. Most human endeavors can be statistically analyzed in such a way as to find different winners and losers. Hence the old saying that "Figures lie, and liars figure". This seems to me to be a classic case of the latter, and not unexpected from a congenital liar like Clinton.
