Democrats watch out for people who say that they will vote for McCain if Hillary isn't the nominee. A lot of them were Republicans from the start trying to help Bush Jr out in the general election. True Hillary Supporters don't fall for it!!!!!! Vote Democrat!!!! We can't afford 4 more years of Bush!!!!!

Well I feel proud to be a Democrat! I was watching CNN last night… I can't believe it…

Finally, the pundits agree that Hillary is the more electable candidate, but all agree Obama will end up with the nomination….

And get this, in order to win in the fall, the Obama campain is arguing they will win VA and GA. This is hillarious.

Welcome President McCain!

Ex-Democrat….Just b/c you people are too stupid….

Much like WV, Kentucky has rascist majority…

Thankfully these states do not represent the whole of the United States!

One of the principal reasons is that college educated people can easily see through Hillary's games.
I was neither for nor against Hillary, but the gas tax stupidity sealed it for me.
First , she steals the idea from McCain. People like Bloomberg and almost every economist worth his salt have blasted the futility of the idea.
And what does she say ? "I dont believe the economists."
Hillary is stupid, and ego-maniacal and I think even McCain is better , cos he ADMITS to his mistakes (like when he got the Shias and sunnis mixed up)

A person who doesnt even admit to his/her own mistakes is not the kind of person to lead America.

HRC thinks she can take the country for a ride. Period.

Obama'08

Let me be the first to publicly thank the affluent Obama supporters for stepping up to the plate in their willingness to bail out the Social Security system. Contrary to what some say, they are not selfish. They are agreeing, by virtue of their votes for him, to pay more of their personal salaries into the pot for another 40 or 50 years so that all Americans can live with dignity. I say Bravo!

Ofcourse because most uneducated people judge a book by it's cover and not the issues the person stands for, it disgusts me some of the remark's i've been reading and the sad thing is if they took the time to listen they'd see this is a good man, but instead you read remarks like hussein or Nobama…idiots…

If Bill Clinton and McCain's wife are being attacked, scrutinized, criticized, it is only fair for Obama's wife being criticized, watched etc.
People need to know about the spouses as much.

Fair is fair. There is no way one would be handled on tip toes while the others would be stepped on. I understand Barrack loves and protects his family, but then he and his followers have no right to go after the other spouses. No double standard, please.

If Michele would stay away from politics = no speeches, no running for her husband, then no one would probably care.

No one is untouchable in politics, politics should be fair.

Bill Clinton won in Kentucky in 1992 and 1996. Obama did not even bother to campaign in Kentucky, same thing he did with WV. People in Kentucky wanted to know the person they're voting for, it is not enough you run campaign ads and expect them to vote for you. Obama has 19 offices all over Kentucky but his presence in that state, is ZERO. He flood the state with campaign ads on TV and radio.

Don't even talk about racism again or say whites are racist in Kentucky, if you're seriously running for President, you cannot alienate one state or two and expect them to rally behind you in general election when you IGNORE them in primary election.

Obama has shown his ARROGANCE and ELITIST attitude which I find totally deplorable. These name labeling calling people who did not vote for him as uneducated, dumb, stupid, racist, hillbillies, ignorant, bitter etc. etc. will definitely bite him if he's the nominee for the democratic party.

Hillary talks with the people of Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana instead of talking to them. Arkansas is a good example of high percentage of African-Americans, they did not vote for Obama, they voted for Hillary, they know her, the work she had done for the state of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was their governor. How come none of you pundits talk about it? Are blacks in Arkansas racist because they did not vote for Obama? Are they dumb and stupid because they did not vote for media's golden boy?

Why do the networks keep mentioning race as a descriptive term when referring to rural blue collar voters? Thankfully you dropped uneducated. What an insult to so many honest hard working Americans. Certainly there are plenty of racist out there, black and white for that matter, but the overwhelming majority of people, bule collar, white collar, urban or rural, do not wake up every morning thinking about race and don't blame any negatives in their lives on race. It is just in the head of the media, dare I say Obama's most ardent supporters. There are so many reasons to support Hillary that have nothing to do with race. For one, she is the best candidate and perhaps the only Democrat who can win in November.

The truth is you have a candidate that used the flawed Caucus system to get ahead and then became damaged goods when "Uncle Wright" was introduced; many of the votes he received during the primary are now remorse votes!

Today one can easily see how a Left wing nut job in training pants doesn't have the Mainstream support to win the General election!

Hillary is the stronger candidate and if the Party wants to keep its conservative base and win in November she should be the nominee.

Hillary 08

Simple - there are more people in KY that wouldn't vote for Barack due to prejudice and Oreganians are more enlightened voters. Period. Oregonians aren't going to be foold by Hillary's shanagens like KY will be.

People like Warren Buffett who have a proven track record of financial gain and management are backing Obama knowing he can bring about the change this country needs. Remember, Buffett has a bigger stake to lose than most people so he's wasting his vote on a Republican, especially John McCain. Vote Obama

I believe that people are tying to convince themselves and everyone else that it's not about race and this is the only opportunity they have to prove it. Really, I don't think it's issues that people are concerned about, if it was, you would see a whole different outcome of the votes. Whites are voting for OBAMA to prove that they're not racist and some Africian-American's (not many) are voting for Sen. Clinton to prove that they aren't racist. It's not that one has proven themselves to qualify to be President anymore than the other.

There something to be said about a black man winning Oregon with only 2 percent African Americans, but with many educated people.

Why is it that people who are educated and affluent vote for Obama, even though the affluent will lose tax relief? Hmm, something to think about.

Because for most of America it is not about race or gender. It is about the person!

There are certainly some badly misguided voters in US, to think of selecting someone for president who has no credentials. Obama is an elitist/racist. I suppose those who would vote for him fit into one of those categories, too. He is not qualified.

Interesting that the candidate for change, the man of the people, the first Afro-American nominee, the man who John Edwards thinks has the best handle on the poverrty issue is the man who is supported by big business, the insider beltway politicians, and Warren Buffett. Emporer Obama has no clothes, and if he did it would be a Brooks Brother suit. He may have flirted with whackos like Wright and radicals like Ayers, but I suspect underneath Obama is nothing more that a bland middle to right Democrat with little interest in issues pertaining to the poor, to women, and to children.

If I knew the answer to that, I would not be typing my comment to CNN. Again, CNN is infering the race card. Do go there anymore, CNN. Your are race baiting comments……….

Sen Clinton panders to the people who have less of an education than others. She believes that by instilling fear, and saying what they want her to say, she will lock up this race. I am insulted (as a person with only a high school diploma) to be treated as though I were a moronic child being disiplined by their parent. I do wish people would realize what each candidate only says as their platform, but also to their behavior during this campaing. Would you really want someone who tries to change the rules of the game every week to be on the worldd stage as this countries representative? I would hop not.

I hate to say this (because I live in Kentucky), but the reason is Kentucky is generally looking to the past and Oregon (I would guess) is generally looking to the future.

In Kentucky, many folks fondly remember the days of the first Clinton Administration. They identified with President Clinton who was actually a conservative Democrat from the south … just like them (the state's registration is mainly Democratic although it votes Republican in many national elections). I think a lot of Senator Clinton's support can actually be traced back to support for the former President and an actual desire to return to the "good old days" of the 1990's. In fact, you hear Senator Clinton say as much in her stump speech.

But Senator Clinton also says in her stump speech that all elections are about the future, and I agree with that. And you can't see the future if you're looking to the past — and that is sometimes the problem I have with my Kentucky neighbors when we talk about the future of our state, our nation, or the world. We live in a different world than we did in the 1990's. Eight years of the Bush Administration has fundamentally changed how America is seen abroad. Also, although I was a strong Clinton supporter in the 1990's, sadly I think it was during that time that our country became so bitterly divided. I certainly don't think that the Clintons are to blame for that, but they certainly fed those sentiments.

That is why I'm probably more aligned with the people of Oregon and the majority of other states in my support for Barack Obama. I do think that Washington needs to change. I think we need someone who can restore America's image in the world community. I think we need someone who can build a new type of coalition, one that doesn't win an election with 51% of the vote but rather one that ends the partisan divided in this country.

I do believe Senator Obama can be that type of transformational leader. Sadly and with no disrespect, I don't think Senators Clinton or McCain can be that type of leader. They are too tied to the was Washington has been. If we as a people say it is time for something new and allow Senator Obama to bring this country together, he can do that. That is why I am hopeful about this election.

Why?

Because midwesterners see through his hot air and empty suit.

VOTE FOR SUBSTANCE

VOTE FOR CLINTON

Becuase he did not campany there.

WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY OBOMA

Oh so let me get this straight.If you dont vote for Obama you must be dumb or racist.When are the elites gonna relize that its us in fly over country who determines elections not the self proclaimed enlightened left coast.

It is a shame that in this country it is somehow bad to be educated and a white collar worker. That busting your butt and getting a degree and NOT working with the sweat of your brow but the sweat of your mind is somehow Anti-American. I have done both types of work, I have worked sweating in the engineroom of a submarine and a ship, I have worked as an apprentice bricklayer and fried more frech fries than even the fatest American can count. I have worked on heavy construction site and blown black snot from coal dust from my nose. I have also sat at a desk and worked my way through engineering problems that took more hours than I care to count. Believe me when I say I ahve worked hard both physically and mentally and to be honest the mental work has been much harder. True my body doesn't ache when I climb into bed at night but then again when I was laying brick or climbing high steel I SLEPT when I laid myself down in bed! I can turn off the phsyical but the mind works a problem with no regard for the bodies need for sleep. Folks the whole purpose of this post is simply to say that somehow being intelligent, or earning a degree and not working with your back is NOT a bad thing, maybe we should start teaching that in schools for a change instead of the crap required by no chils left behind! Maybe we should grow up as a country!

Obama/Sebilius '08

Since no candidate will have enough delegates to seal the nomination, the race should only go to a convention if one person has more elected delegates and the other person has the popular vote victory. If either candidate does not want to include all 50 states, then new primaries should be held in August.

I find it odd that Obama is seen as lacking because he cannot reach the "uneducated white voters." The educated folks embrace him. Who's better to lead the country - someone the educated folks value, or someone the uneducated folks value?

I'll take educated and accomplished over "average like me" any day of the week.

Go ahead Kentucky, believe her lies like the voters of other low educated states have. Maybe you were not watcing the reaction of the country after the WV vote where we all sat back and wondered how you could be so ignorant. I do not think you are stupid but i bet you go and prove me wrong today at the polls. A vote for Hillary at this point when she cannot win the primary or general election is basically a vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for war, death, higher gas prices, horrible healthcare plan, abolishment of abortion rights, etc. Remember it was your states wise decision to elect George Bush so maybe you should look to Oregon for a little guidance on this one.

SO THE RICH WHO HAS 2 CARS AND 2 HOUSES WITH HEALTH CARE TAKEN CARE OF AND HAD A PREVILEDGE EDUCATION WANTS THE MAGIC OF OBAMA.

BUT THE HARD WORKING POOR IN THIS COUNTRY WHO DOES NOT HAVE HEALTH CARE WHO NEEDS TO HAVE 2 JOBS JUST MAKE ENDS MEET STRUGGLING TO PAY RENT AND FOR GAS DESPERATELY NEEDS HILLARY CLINTON.

WOW!

IS THAT CLEAR… DIDN'T JHON EDWARDS TALK ABOUT THIS 2 AMERICAS BEFORE.

With Obama as President, education will be a priority. That's the future of this country. People will learn that sexism and racism are intolerable.

See, it is not just blacks for Obama. It is the smart people!

If you are educated….you vote for Obama

If you are illiterate - you vote for Clinton

yeah….that actually makes sense

Of course , someone has to do some explaining for policies to sink. There are those who vote with their eyes and not heads.

oh, and I forgot to add

we are bothered about real issues like the economy, proper foreign policy
and vision.
some things we dont care about are whether - Obama wears a flagpin, calls someone sweetie, sleeps with the flag under his bed etc.

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!

Women, if you like having your rights, DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN, he will take them all away with the judges he will appoint to the supreme court!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be something, Hillary is favored to win big in Kentucky and yet there are 7.3% AA there, so if that's true and she does win big will we still be hearing remarks about race ?. People saying the black vote going for Obama and the white vote going for Hillary ? I'm just wondering how her supporters will spin this.

White middle aged woman for Obama !

Oh please. Have you ever been to Oregon? Many of them may be affluent and many well educated but they are all a bunch of granola crunching baboons who couldnt find their way out of a paper bag. I urge all Clinton supporters to either stay at home or support McCain in November. Having this arrogant, do-nothing empty suit in the White House will do this nation nothing but harm. I despise the Democratic leadership for what they have done to our party. I have not supported any Republican for any office in 30 years, but refuse to let the black community and McGovern Democrats ruin the party without a fight. I'd rather we have 8 more years of G. W. Bush than surrender our party to the Obamazombies. It appears that Obama will indeed win the nomination. Until he is either defeated or out of office and those in my state who have supported him are either defeated or out of office, I will be voting straight ticket Republican. All Democrats who care about this nation will do the same.affluence dont always translate to common sense.

This just in….more affluent people are typically better educated…better educated people are more tolerant…more tolerant people judge on character, not skin color or gender….

and water is wet….That is all

It saddens me to think that some fellow Democrats are considering abandoning what we stand for just to prove a point by voting for Senator McCain and essentially throwing America under the bus.

I don't think being affluent or well educated has anything to do with it. Just common sense tells you IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HILLARY.

Hillary's bipolar moments that she frequently let erupt before our eyes should tell you all you need to know in making your choice. For the life of me, I can't understand the people who really think she would be a good leader. The instances supporting that she WOULD NOT BE are too numerous to list.

It's clear race is a factor, but Obama hasn't won ONLY by black voters…..Oregon is not a black state obviously. The real inffluence is education. The writtings are on the wall, get education, make the right decision. The less educated are easily convinced by lies …I.e…'I will give you a .30c gas break'!

What does it say when only po' dumb folk flock to you? Doesn't say much for you does it, Hillary?

What we have to remember is when Obama won all those states in
the beginning, it was before the Rev. Wright issue, the "Bitter" remarks
and the anti american remarks made by Michelle Obama.

I just wonder if the math would be the same right now? I don't
think so. Since then Hillary has been winning BIG TIME.

Like it or not Obama did something really smart: He targetted the people in America most willing to give money to a campaign: The college educated and African Americans who see his being president as another step towards the end of racial inequality. Clinton on the other hand has courted a devout audience that simply cannot afford to give. While his message is ethereal and lofty he's won the hearts of his base and though educated the eductated and affluent are among the idealistic. The impracticality of his statements and proposed policies are ignored because emotional ties do not break easily. I see it in reading the comments on this ticker. Partisanism flies in the face of logic. The lesson to future politicians - get people to relate to you as an idea. Great policies, discourse and even wit arent enough. People need to see you the politician as something greater than a person. Oh yeah - get people with money to support you too!

Maybe Hillary is will send Geraldine Ferraro to Oregon to complain about Obama and the media being sexist…..

Ferraro has went from being racists to speaking about sexist attacks on Hillary. Ferraro has talked about hate and dividing us all throughout this campaign. I believe it has hurt Hillary and she lost many supporters and votes because of it. Hillary should have distanced herself from Ferraro and denounced her comments about hate. Hillary should have talked about coming together black, white, men and women, instead she went down the path of Ferraro with the 1960's style politics of accusing the other side of everything they possibly can. She kept dividing this country along gender and racial lines and it was a huge mistake. Hillary wanted to keep it us against them. She said your either with us or against us. She blew it and Ferraro is a huge reason why. Ferraro and McCain are two old minded people who need to be sent out to pasture to enjoy their twilight years and yes every once and a while come back and give us bit of a history lesson. Ferraro cant do that because she is still seething after her lose for Vice President…..

You mean all the Obama supporters were right that Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas are racial HOTSPOTS still! I will never forget an interview with this old bearded white guy with a thick southern drawl say last week in his home state of West Virginia. QUESTION- DID RACE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY YOU VOTED?
ANSWER- Of course race has everything to do with the way I voted! Why would I vote for a black man?

Geraldine where is this sexism that you were talking about?

guilty feeling pseudo intellectual yuppies who have enough money to not really care if their president is ineffective when it comes to showing actual results. bandwagon jumping, hipsters, etc. people are easily lead by a catch phrase over substance. all of these things and more are reasons why obama has won these voters over.

pathetic.

way to pick another loser, voters and the dnc!

Does anyone have a link to the reported video of Michelle Obama railing against whites and calling them "whitey" at Reverand Wright's church in Chicago? If so, could you make it available with the link please?

The pattern is now obvious. Wealther, more educated persons aren't smater than those who aren't. But, they are more open to listening and thinking, being challenged, are more likely to have lived or worked in "mixed" gender/racial settings, been exposed more to "different" individuals, and are more tolerant. They are more likely to read and seek info from a wide variety of sources. We know that students in "poor" sections don't do as well as those from more affulent neighborhoods. It has nothing to do with being smart or dumb. It has to do with myriad social factors, and economics has a direct bearing. I work in an area that is poor, Enlgish is a second language, and the schools are "poor performing schools." Why? Economics is a big part of it. My daughter grew up with a computer from the time she was able to walk, with books, international travel as young as 18 months, etc. All of this gave her a distinct advantage. Why? Economics leads to eduction that leads to more open minded tolerant persons who are more likely to think. Hillary can only win on emotional, deciet, pandering, lying, manipulative negative, hypocritical behavior. It doesn't sell as well among the more affluent, educated thinking voters.

Let see about that. How about the states where there are more whites that he won. Why?

Barack Obama ROCKED Montana last night……!!

Yes…We..Can…

I would never vote for you Obama, even if Hillary tells her voters too.
He is weak..He's crying now about GOP hitting his wife. Well, Obama she is fair game. Remember you said " WORDS MATTER" If you don't like it hide Michelle along with Rev. Wright.. Can you get Hillary supporters? Well, not this one.

Why? you ask John? I suggest you spend 6 months in rural Kentucky and when you return to NYC you will know "Why".

I am sure that Obama has enough money left to buy the rest of the super delegates. I think this practice should be stopped, I never knew before that it was possible to do this, no wonder it costs so much to run for office, it all comes down to which Democrat candidate can raise the most money.

HA! There are more black people in Kentucky than Oregon, yet he will win Oregon.

WHERE IS YOUR BS ARGUMENT ABOUT RACE NOW??

Oh, and you can believe he will do great in the general. No doubt about it!

WHAT IS the point here??

Barack is the winner.. THE question is are the Hillary supporters willing to cut off theIr nose in spite of the face??

If they do SO BE IT…when the several MILLION of them see McCain change the Supreme Court..and Roe v Wade is reversed…

THEY CAN BLAME THEMESELVES!!!

IF YOU THINK SMALL..YOU STAY SMALL..

We can't discount it because you keep bringing it up! How about talking about how African American voters will never vote for a candidate who is behind in every category and steals the election. No one wants to talk about that, because black voters don't matter. Hillary just thinks that black voters will turn the other cheek because we're afraid of Republicans. Well, let me tell you something-we're not afraid of anything. Most black people struggle regardless of whose in office, and that includes Bill-o. My life wasn't fantastic when he was in office, and I don't know anyone else's who was.

Anyone who has not yet taken Hillary's seriously should sit back and think again. Her statements in recent days are pregnant with meaning.In a nutshell this is her war song:

IT'S EITHER ME OR NO ONE ELSE.

This woman is bent on destroying the Democratic Party.She needs a team of specialist psychiatrists and cardiologists on standby before being told in uncertain terms that she has lost the nomination.

The media, including CNN has been out of touch this entire election season. John King specifically tries to use RACE is the single most important indicator of how Obama will win or lose. He ignores the fact that Obama won 80% of the vote in Idaho which is 97% white. Obama also won 80% of the vote in Kansas that has a 95+% white population. Why didnt John King give us any analysis as to why Obama scored so well in the afore mentioned states. Or even take Wisconnsin which looks like "CLinton country" Obama won by 17 points.

There has been no explanation of these wins. The truth is they dont know why Obama is doing so well. It defies racial analysis.

The truth is you have a candidate that used the flawed Caucus system to get ahead and then became damaged goods when "Uncle Wright" was introduced; many of the votes he received during the primary are now remorse votes!

Today one can easily see how a Left wing nut job in training pants doesn't have the Mainstream support to win the General election!

Hillary is the stronger candidate and if the Party wants to keep its conservative base and win in November she should be the nominee.

So what are you trying to say? Dumb people vote for Clinton and don't know any better?

I know a lot of people with college education who are dumb. Then you have people with Horse sense which is called Common Sense. Look at George Washington our founding Farther he had know formal education. I think he had more going for him then any political figure in America today. Their just a bunch of Blood sucking Lawyers.

I don't get it, John. Isn't the crux here the intergenerational difference, which puts together the boomers who filled universities in the 1960s and their kids in the last ten years, with a lot of folks who weren't fortunate enough to have a college education? Not that formal education is superior in terms of character to life experience in any way, but a liberal education does change the perspective of individuals for life, generally in the direction of making them more optimistic about their ability to change the future, and more willing because of their more secure financial positions to take risks for a future more in line with their optimism and ideals. A very serious national question, which requires more guts to look at than CNN, or MSNBC, or Fox apparently possess, is whether the older voter's preference for the status quo, effected by risk aversion, and dominated by those without college education, who are still the majority, is an adequate political stance from which to right a nation and world destabilized and upended by eight years of George W. Bush. College degrees are a good thing, and no one should be expected to apologize for eaning one. Though no magic bullet, and no basis to disrespect those without formal degrees, the growing number of college educated men and women in this country have every right to express their ideas through the political process, as long as no one who has the legal right is excluded. It's one person, one vote, in all fifty states, as it should be, and neither Kentucky or Oregon will be more right as they likely vote very different candidate preferences this evening.

John,

As your article indicates Obama will become the presumptive democratic candidate very shortly, that is unless Hilary pulls a rabbit out of her hat at the last moment. The problem with his candidacy is simply that there are not enough liberal affluent voters nationwide to get him elected in November.

He's now telling us the same things that Carter told us once he was elected. This is both a good sign and a bad sign. It's a good sign because it gives all of the voters a real opportunity to decide before the general election if we want to take a chance on another inexperienced promiser who in the end gets nothing done but keeps telling us how we all need to change our life styles (Carter Malaise Talk) so the rest of the world feels better about us, or we want something else. It's a bad sign for Obama's campaign because those of us who do not consider ourselves to be affluent (the majority of voters) far out number those who are. I really hate to say ,but maybe Hillary's right.

BECAUSE OBAMA CAN GET VOTES OF WHITES WHO HAVE MORE TEETH THEN TOES.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!. I will either vote for mccain or not vote at all!!!!!!!!

So less educated people vote for Clinton? If that's the case…why would it make any sense to follow their lead?

Neither 7.3% nor 2% is enough for the African-American demographic in those states to even make a difference so why are you reporting on this? Even if 100% of the African Americans voted for Obama in Kentucky, Clinton would still win by a landslide. Why has this election become a "black vs white" election? An "educated vs uneducated" election. This is exactly why we need Obama in office because this country is stuck in the 1950's and its time we had a leader who is ready to finally unify our nation, take us into the future and move away from the dark past of our country.

Could you do a real poll and find out what percentage of voters voted for Hillary because they liked Bill and want the gold ol days back? What you are attributing to race in the blue collar is likely also influenced by wanting the good times back as well. Are you afraid to ask any question that links Hillary to Bill's president, it's been off limits the whole time?

the bible says…

My people Perish for a lack of Knowledge.

America, we need to educate our entire nation… especially the poor rural and inner city people. If not they will continue to only make decisions off of what someone tells them and not what the read and research for themselves.

For this reason, conservative radio and TV has simply misguided these people for self gain. It is kind of how the Wealthy Southern Planters convinced the poor, non-land owning population that they should go fight in the civil war to perserve their way of life…. which was poor, uneducated, out of work having a false since of superiority over others simply because of race!

People in the south wake up… the real Elitist are these multi-millionares trying to tell you they feel your pain and can't even pump gas or can fly around in their private Jets.

Sad, but true if you want to keep someone down, keep them uneducated and uniformed and play to their fears and emotions.

It's sad. With Obama working to help the less affluent and less educated people of this country, that people in that catagory can't see that.

I'm one of them and it's obvious to me. Wake up!

These Polls only support what happens when one candidate stays TOO long. The leading candidate is not ALLOWED to penetrate Blocks of voters because the other candidate is PREVENTING exposure and appeasement of the leader. Unfortunately this gives the wrong impression to those voters casting votes for a candidate who cannot win. The message is …………..false hopes………….prevention of healing……….its okay to cast a protest vote (to little avail ) and, you do not have to stand behind the candidate of choice.
It also sends the message that their votes do not count anyway. ALL BAD STUFF AT THIS LATE STAGE . Obama cannot campaign in these states at this point and will have to campaign AFTER the nomination to be recieved as the DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. Clinton is hoping to make a statement to the Super Delegates. Unfortunately the message that they are receiving is just the Opposite of what the Clinton Campaign has hoped for!!!

This sort of story is the typical divisive tactic that CNN has employed over this election cycle. Don't buy into it, Democrats! The media moguls are attempting to take the Presidential election away from us by the "divide and conquer" strategy.

Sadly, some politicians from our party are playing along with this for hope of pushing their sub-agenda. But sub-agenda's are not MAIN agendas, and to abandon the MAIN adenda of the Democratic party is to condemn all sub-agendas.

Right! Can't wait to see the Obamanation groupies comments on this one. Most of their comments are on the IQ level of road kill. This could actually be some of us see past Mr Huff and Puff, empty promises. We know a phone when we see it.

Go Obama!

Oregon - please give him a big win and thanks for giving him a beautiful campaign there and you all looked beautiful on Sunday… all 76,000!

These stupid analysis just kill me with their numbers. I mean this is a PRIMARY people, when you get down to TWO CANDIDATES, the numbers change drastically.

Geez, how many idiots are out there anyways? Americans are NOT about to put another REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE!!! Get a clue, it's NOT going to happen. All this hogwash nonsense is nothing but baloney.

Let's move on to November where the real battle begins… I just pray OLD FART MCBush is ready for a real spanking!!!

Post-election interviews in West Virgina, according to NPR last week, consistently indicated racial themes: "I don't vote for a Black"; "Blacks don't order White people around…." NPR indicated that these remarks are not some isolated incidences.

Some of the 41% differences between the two candidates' vote counts in West Vigina are due to this die-hard "I am better than you" notion, no matter how hard others tries to move beyond that.

If Hillary Clinton was competing against some other White male candidate in West Virgina, it wouln't be surprizing to hear a comment such as "I wont' vote for a woman" over a man. Color is a more definitive factor than gender to many West Virginans, thus it is not surprizing to hear such remarks as "Blacks don't order around whites."

How much of 41% can be accounted for by racial prejudice? No media seem to want to tackle the issue (except for the short NPR segnment).

How do we move beyond this stage (I thought we were better than this)? Hide and hide??

Analysis is that all this means is the less educated, less informed, less aware, and those that are still living in the stone age mentality are more likely to be sucked in on the pandering ways of Sen Clinton. They do not care that your just saying things to try to appease them and they do not care that you have no intention or ability to follow through on the crap that spews from the candidates mouth. Where as in other places where they are more educated, more worldly in their views and more informed are more likely to vote for Obama. Why the stark difference? Those in the more educated, informed and worldly areas of the U.S. are smart enought to know when the are being fed a line of crap, and do their home work by researching the candidates, and looking past the obvious of race, age, and gender.
Hopefully there will be enough of those well informed, higher educated voters to bring Obama to the nomination. This country needs to leave the stone age mentality and graduate into the next century. If we are to thrive and rediscover our place in the world, we can no longer afford to rest our laurels in the good ol boy syndrome, nor can we afford allowing our leadership to lead the citizens of this country down the primrose path of oblivion as mindless sheep.

I hope we can win this election without Clinton Supports. What a bunch of bitter people. And yes that was a direct reference. Geraldine looked like a complete idiot on TV today. The whole world does not revolve around Hillary Clinton. It does not revolve around her voters. It does not revolve around women. nothing like feeling the rath of a woman scorned…. But dude… no one scorned you. Voters all over the nation voted and you lost! You lost! I know you are all upset but back off!

IN THE STRANGE WORLD OF POLITICS WE FIND THAT THERE ARE NO REAL WINNERS OR LOSERS. BY THAT WE MEAN, THE WINNER
ALWAYS LOSES SOMETHING. IN MR. OBAMA'S CASE "TIME". IN HRC'S CASE, "MONEY AND RESPECT" BECAUSE NO WAY YOU CUT THE CAKE SHE IS THE LOSER. OUR PROBLEM NOW IS ONLY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS A WHOLE. WE BEING FROM N.C. AND HAVE THE MOST RELIABLE PULSE ON THE FEELINGS OF THOSE PEOPLE HRC IS TRYING TO USE AS HER EXCUSE FOR CON'T ON IS LIKE BLOWING A LITE MATCH IN THE WIND. THERE IS A STRONG WIND WITH MOST WHITE MALES IN OUR AREA AGAINST
HAVING A FEMALE (NO MATTER WHAT COLOR) IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE DON'T AGREE, BUT, THESE FEELINGS ARE BASED ON OLD SOUTHERN TRADITIONS. THESE STRONG FEELINGS ARE NOT FOUND IN THE HISPANIC AND BLACK MALES AS STRANGE AS IT MAT SOUND. ALL OF THEM WANT THIS THING OVER WITH BEFORE IT DESTORY OUR PARTY.

obama can't attract blue collar workers, because he is an elitist. the only reason he gets the "educated" vote is because being the most liberal senator of 2007, leftist professors indoctrinate liberalism into the students. he will never reach the base of the democratic party. mccain and hillary's senate records are not that different, and "hillary democrats" will vote for mccain. NOBAMA!

I give up why?

oh, could it be because ppl from Oregon like Barack and ppl from Kentucky like Hillary? hmmmmmm that just might be crazy enough to be true.

Hillary will DEFINITELY not get 10% votes from B again though Bill has done lots for them during his presidency.

This is always true though CNN is reluctant to speak out this fact or even try to hide this.

Obama appeals to this demographic because they had to endure 8 years listening to a President who could not string eight words together and make sense!
It must be exciting to have a young, dynamic, intelligent person running who can pronounce nuclear and doesn't rant how he is THE DECIDER! George Bush should go into stand up , he would appeal to all the red neck s out there. I am pulling for Barack as many Canadians are. We pray for his safety and God Speed!

Can't wait to see how they divide the race lines in Oregon!

Go Obama!

I truly believe that both people who are educated and those without a degree have a since of pride not to be belittled by the Clintons. I really see senator Obama being a great president.. Those Clinton super delegates needs to unify under one leader…..that leader is senator Obama…..

Us educated voters are treated as if we're naive and inexperienced. Our votes are just as important and we take the time to research and weigh our options. This election is an example just how powerful we are. We're not trying to outwit anyone and it's a shame that those who think we hate them for not voting for Obama is a clear example of the cloudiness and lack of confidence some people have in our judgment. You have the right to vote, but it's also your responsibility to know who you're supporting BEFORE you pull the trigger. In my opinion, a vote for McCain is like turning the gun on ourselves.

HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT

EXTREME POVETY

UNDER-EDUCATED

LOSS HOPE

Parse and analize it all you want. Obama is winning because voters realize he is the only candidate that offers hope and change. .

We many, we happy many, we band of brothers and sisters. For those that vote with me in November for Obama shall ever be my Family. That vote shall change our condition. Voters that stayed away or voted otherwise shall think themselves accursed. And they shall stay silent while any speak that voted with us on that blessed day.

Stolen from Will….mangled by me

Because the people in Oregon are extreme liberals…and they will not be the ones that choose the President in November!!

I am with you on that Hillary 08!!

This is all the work of the Media and Howard Dean and the DNC!!!

GO HILLARY!!

If Hillary doesn't win the nomination…WRITE IN HILLARY or VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!

When did our country sink so low that we make it sound like being educated is something to be ashamed of? I had to work several jobs at a time to put myself through college, and have done the same for my graduate degrees. Being educated has nothing to do with not understanding hard work. It really upset me to hear Clinton supporters (like Bill yesterday) deride the "educated' as if we have some sort of "elitist" plague. Nice to see them pandering to the lowest common denominator….kinda like the current president has done for 8 years.

I just wanted to thank all of those that turned out in Oregon yesterday for Senator Obama. He gives me hope for a better future, a better United States, and a better World. I worry that others will not see that because I am still disillusioned by the system that allowed GW Bush back into office in '04 and am scared that I may be wrong in my judgement regarding the intelligence of our society as a whole again.

Based on the turnout in Oregon their are many more of you out there that hold out the same hope as I do for our future with Senator Obama, thank you for refreshing my hope in our future!

I will be thrilled when we move past this foolishness with Hillary, and I expect even fewer issues with McCain. It will be negative to be sure, but he is less formidable and equally as flawed as Hillary is.

I would have voted Dem either way, but at least I can be proud to vote for OBAMA!

Thank you Oregon & Senator Obama!

Republican are in panic they do not know what to do. All those who claim they are Hillary supporters who wound't vote for obama if he is the nominee are Rush Limbo Republicans do not be fulled Democrats.

Hillary 08….you think three talking heads on CNN represent the entire electorate and you're calling other's stupid.

Pick up the phone, it's the pot calling

Hillary and her supporters say:

If you are a white male and vote for Obama it's the old boys club….
If you are Black and vote for Obama it's because he's Black……
If you are a woman and vote for Obama you are a traitor……….
If you are a college student and vote for Obama you are just young….
If you are wealthy and vote for Obama you are an elitist…..
If you are a close friend and vote for Obama you are a Judas….
If you are a Super D and vote for Obama you were pressured….
If you are a Celebrity and vote for Obama you are an idiot….
If you are a in politics and you vote for Obama its to hurt her….
If you are an Independent and you vote for Obama he lied to you…
If you are a Republican and and you vote for Obama it's dirty….
If you fall into any other category and you vote for Obama your unfair…

But if you vote for Hillary than you know she is the best for this country?????………….Umm…..Get Real…..America Disagrees……

OBAMA: THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!

Hillary 08 - Please stop being petty and get a life

Perhaps those people who haven't been lucky enough to acquire an education should take the opportunity now to educate themselves. They should be asking themselves "why are the better educated people voting for Obama? What does he offer that I don't see?" Likewise, they should ask themselves, " why do uneducated people veer toward Clinton? What does she offer that Obama does not?" This would close the gap between the educated & the undereducated, and they have the power. The only thing standing between those particular Clinton supporters and an education is reading. If they can do that, they can educate themselves to the point of equality.

The pundits are drawing this whole thing out as long as possible because it makes for cheap TV. I can't believe how biased all of the news networks are to the underdog. When Hillary was ahead they backed Obama, now Obama's ahead they back Hillary. Either one would make a great president - but I'm sick of seeing interviews that blatantly slant against the front runner (whoever that is at the time) - and giving a very wide berth to the underdog by not following up on obvious lines of questioning.

People are too stupid but not the Obama supporters. How can anyone believe anything that comes out of Hilary's mouth. I noticed in WVA she pronounced "something" "sumpun" just to act like she was a local. I see that she has given up her shots now that she's moved on from PA. SHE IS A FAKE and she will do ANYTHING to get elected including buying herself the nomination with her millions.

Let's go Oregon, this needs to be wrapped up, good fight Clinton. No one is telling her to get out, however, …handing writing on the wall…

It is time to unitify this party and move on, Mrs Clinton stop being desparate and aggressive it does not look good for you.

Obama 08

The answer is education. Thank goodness Americans are not going to let uneducated, blue collar people pick their president anymore. If not because well educated people are participating, this country would have gotten another low life president.

"Kentucky has a much higher percentage of African-American residents (7.3 percent) than Oregon (2 percent), yet Sen. Hillary Clinton is favored to win big in Kentucky, and Sen. Barack Obama is the heavy favorite in Oregon. Why?"

Becasue Oregon has a large number of intelligent, college educated high tech workers who have a clue.

who cares???? The us is 80 percent white!!!! Stop spinning that minorities make up more than they do. Simple answer Kentucky is in the deep south, Oregon is not, the deep south is just that, Dixie…what do you need a history lesson??? But it is what it is, and instead of highlighting Dixie, we need to march forward from the old and towards a more unified Cou try. Also, what's with Ferraro calling Obama a comedian??? She is offensive by anybody's standards, and she sounds angry.

Ugh Hillary 08, this is a PRIMARY!! Just because you win a Primary state doesn't mean you'll win it in the general! Obama can put more states in play than Hillary because of independent/ Republican voter support. You are so used to the old way of doing things that you can't believe that the electoral map can be changed this November. You are so stuck in your old ways that you have NO VISION. The purpose of the Democratic primary is to win the most delegates! Hillary is not more electable because she hasn't been vetted at all this primary season by the media. She has the highest negativity rating out of all the candidates still in contention. Just because she claims she won FL in the primary doesn't mean she'll win florida in the general. Sorry she has no argument and neither do you.

Hillary 08…….You are casting a vote for someone who's campaign hinges on sore losing Democrats and bigots. If you can't make an argument as to why you are voting for John McCain then why vote for him? And you are calling other Democrats stupid. LOL

Funny how the Obama folks claim the Hillary supporters are bitter, when I see a lot more anger, rancor and just plain mean comments coming from the Obama hopeful. I am a college-educated white woman, and I support Hillary because she is the best person to lead this country away from Bush's terror tactics and back into a good place in the world. I am seeing that the media has already annointed Barack, and that saddens me, because I don't think he can beat McCain, and then the world will end, as he will start bombing on day one, with Cheney right there beside him, grinning. So go ahead and count on your "hope" if you must. I'm hoping that some super-delegates can wipe the smoke and mirrors away long enough to admit that Hillary is the real deal. Alas, sexism reigns, and we will not have another woman running for many years. Men refuse to see a powerful woman as intelligent and capable. Sad, but true.
Oh, and you Obama people may be smarter in the polls, but you can't spell!

Just like West Virginia,

The only reason Hillary is projected to win big in Kentucky is one simple fact: Barack has not really campaigned in Kentucky, he spent about half a day there, just as he did in West Virginia. The more people get to know Barack, the more they come to understand and admire him.

Barack did not campaign in Kentucky, for one reason, and one reason only, to let Hillary shine for just a little while, just like he did in West Virginia.

So sad that we (Democrats) let the media and politicians put an inexperienced person as the nominee for President. With the way the economy is and people losing their jobs, homes, etc we need someone in the WH with experience and not someone who wants to learn on the job!! Shame on the DNC for being so selfish! Remember that it will come back to bite you oneday!!
If you don't believe that Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama just watch the votes in Nov.
Obama supporters have been so cruel and down right mean when a supporter of Clinton states that they support her. This is not the way to win their support.
I guess they follow in the footsteps of Michelle Obama who said that Americans are just mean spirited and down right mean.
A supporter who is disappointed that this was a one sided race because there was a AA and a party that cried racism everytime something did not go their way!!

He's doing well in Oregon becasue that part of the country has a majority of far left liberals. They also in all of their college educated , extreme environmentalist ideals have one of the highest unemployment rates and poverty levels in the US. Go figure.

Make no mistake about it, women who say they will vote for McCain if Clinton is not the nominee are NOT FEMINISTS. Real feminists will fight in the streets before they will see conservative judges appointed to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Real feminists understand the importance of this election on this critical issue. They understand that without safe, legal abortion their daughters and granddaughters lives may be at stake. For you women out there who say you are Democrats but will vote for McCain, I hope you understand the consequences of your actions. Maybe it won't impact you personally, but it will the generations of women who will come behind you!

And the truly educated vote Nader.

Vote Nader (dot) Org

Today is the day when super delegates must come out and make Barack the nominee.

If Hillary is truly the more electable of the democratic duo, then how come she is behind in virtually all relevant indices?

Why?

Because stupid and ignorant people that are easily influenced by the mind games that the republican party and Clinton played, and vote against their political interest. How else did Bush serve two terms.

There should be a law that revokes the votes of people that are unable to think, read and write. Stupid people have done enough damage to this country.

Race in Race,

You do realize that there were just as many "race" incidents in Pennsylvania and Indiana that were far worse than what appeared in the media in WV, right?

I'm not trying to defend the people that voted against Obama here. Maybe some just liked Clinton…a lot of them just didn't like Obama (for obvious reasons), but to bring up the NPR coverage without raising the fact that race is an everpresent factor throughout the country is greatly unjust.

I guess some people will never change…but I voted for Obama in the primary and I can sleep sound at night knowing that I did.

The less educated
the easier to fool.

Until now this tactic has worked well for the Clintons.

I will vote for Obama but I won't like it. Many of the Obamabots have put a sour taste in our mouth by the attacks. Obama has won the nomination for all of the wrong reasons.

I know first hand. At the Iowa caucus, an African American women was being heckled by the Obama supporters. One man came over and asked her what she was doing. She said the Clintons have always supported her and she wouldn't abandon them. He then said, and I quote, "But he's a brother".

N'uff said.

Just one question. When have you ever heard Obama say anything racist? When has he ever shown arrogance? He is confidant. As a president should be. He is also humble to what this country to what his country has allowed for him to become. Would you not be a little worried if he did not come across as confident, and believing in his ability?

The media needs to remind people from time to time that black Americans have voted DNC in large numbers in recent years. Remind people that Clinton had nearly 3/4 of the black vote last Thanksgiving.

Remind people that Hillary's disparaging MLK remarks lost many votes. Remind people that Bill attempted damage control by speaking on a number of national black radio shows, but put defended the remarks and put down Obama. Remind people that Bill sealed the deal with his Jackson comment in SC.

That is why 90% of black voters support Obama, not Hillary. It has little to do with race.

Shouldn't we be striving for higher education and greater affluence. I am so tired of these red herring stories that really lead to nothing.

This is going to be an interesting election considering that Clinton thinks that Obama only gets the African American vote. He just might pull it off with Kentucky with a close margin of 1 or 2% like Indiana election.

Here we go again on education. I know only us uneducated folks vote for Hillary. So Kentucky and Oregon if you vote for her you're just dumb. RIGHT? I wonder who's taking the poll on high school drop outs and who they're voting for. I'm sick of you CNN. I will say congatulations are in order to you. You just about have your candidate in office.

I just wish the people will take note of OBAMA'S world of homosexual activity, cocaine and Larry Sinclair and the murder of Obama's man Young.

Hillary has a problem with (the) Bush. Is she wrangling over "Dorito Chip", "Landing Strip", or "Brazillian"?

She is divisive and shameful. MCCAIN is a deutche bank and has little arms.

Kentucky, be real and do not vote for the politics of the old school, VOTE FOR CHANGE.!

Mccain right now is stumping Cubans in FL. He is really scary.

It's amazing how the demography of the US is so polorized!

I'd think issues like the Iraq War, The War on Terrorism, our global reputation, gasoline prices, healthcare, the rate of unemployment, climate change, preserving the environment and America's economic positioning would be something that we all have in common.

Vote for whomever you wish to vote for! That's why we are the greatest democracy on Earth!

I mean… someone has to lose and the winner will be EVERYONE'S president.

PLEASE!.. keep the issues intimate and press ALL the candidates to work for YOU… better yet, US!

Such arrogance by these Obama "fans"! They think this is all game to be won by them (the affluent). Typical sheltered group of people. I hope McCain or Clinton crushes them in votes. Dream on–the people who do not want Obama are not all REPUBLICANS–ONLY PEOPLE WHO SEE OBAMA FOR WHAT HE IS–an elitist who thinks he can fool all of the people all of the time. Truth is, he only fools this select group–not a majority of Americans by any means!

Could it be that race, as a factor, is relative to the region of the country in question? Perhaps the biigger is question is…well, I'll say that for another time.

It's about time we elect someone with brains again…and leadership skills. I continue to be in awe of Barack and his wife both.

Bush was elected by a stupid faction of our population or by people just behaving stupidly at the time. People, smarten up! We deserve better!

And Obama is NOT arrogant! Have you met him? Believe me, he's not.

I would like to know how Hilary understands a fact that those who know how to read ,write and think will not by any chance vote for her???

The answer is simle. Hillary Billary supporters are less educated and easy manipulated by her. Obama supporters are educated and too smart to be manipulated by Hillary Billary clan.

It brings tears of happiness to my eyes predicting the future knowing Obama will be the next President of the United States.

So many people in the USA are thinking about the future. About making this world a better place.

I understand Mcain's and Hillary's reasons and their supporters reasons. But there comes a time in everyone's life when they have to stop being selfish and arrogant. Even if they are rich or poor. Educated or not educated.

Its time we all stopped the name calling and the insults and figure out a way to bring pride and power back to the USA.

The first step is choosing the right President and senator Obama is the one. Go Obama! 8&12

Because the people in Oregon want to divide this country that's why their
close their eyes and vote for Obama and other thing is Oregon people support Republican party and their want Obama to lose in general election. Other states that vote for Hillary is their care about American and their vote for the most experience that's going to turn this country back and unit all American. Obama sound like unit American but the point is not he going to divide American like Bush look in the future if Obama get elect this country going to divide Black and White and Christian and Islam.

As a well-educated Oregonian, I want to say that I do not own two houses or a boat or any of the other stereoptypical descriptions above. Mommy and daddy didn't pay for my education; I worked my way through school and spent 15 years paying off my student loans. I am self-employed and I work my tail off to pay my mortgage every month. I pay over $700 per month for health insurance that I am afraid will be cancelled if I get sick. Yes, I am educated, but I am far from affluent. Knock off the stereotypes. Yes, I voted for Obama because if we don't kick the lobbyists out of Washington and return our democracy to The People, we are doomed. The founding fathers understood that true democracy can only exist with a well-educated populace. Obama understands that connection, too. You can't solve the problem if you are the problem. We need on outsider like Obama to come into Washington and clean house!

The Truth,

Great analysis-you're spot on!

Education Education Education
This is the most important gift a human should have

Simple, but not politically correct: Kentucky-under educated white racially bias.Oregon-educated white non racially bias.

Because: the 2008 presidential election is a referendum on how America feels about themselves, and how Americans feel about each other.
Each state and territory will show its true colors by voting for/against a middle-age white woman, a youthful black man, or an elderly white man.

During this process, we'll realize we don't really like each other that much, but in the end, we'll have to come together in order to succeed as the United States of America.

Enjoy the geography and demography lessons, and always remember, we are a melting pot of opinions and biases, but we are still one NATION.

Obama is the only one able to put us ALL back together.

Obama 08/12. Yes We Can!!!

I am far from sheltered. Have you slpet on a bench or in bushes because you had nowhere else to go? I pulled up my straps and made something of myself.

Janey, you are out of touch. Probably never had dirt under your fingernails. I am far from elite. I had to work for it. I love my Mercedes and feel bad that you are probably driving a Yugo.

Democrats, Independents & Republicans who have experienced the pinch in their own lives due to the economy, health care, education, war, etc if you vote for McBush you do so at your own peril. This guy is so out of touch. If you desire more of the same and enjoy complaining then vote for McCain.
For those who now want to question the rules of the primaries, isn't is strange that now the rules that have been in place forever are suddenly unfair. Obama has won thus far fair and square and if Hillary truly loves the Democratic party she will bow out gracefully and tell her supporters to get on board. I will blame Hillary and her antics if the party remains divided. It is sad and shameful that this woman who I greatlly admired has sunk to such a low just to satisfy her ego.

Whatever makes you people think you are better people because you can afford more "book learning"? it seems to have the effect of making you sound more naive and out of touch with the rest of America. We are all working and paying taxes so you can enjoy your "schooling". Dream on, Obamabots–you are not more intelligent, nor are you more "savvy".

I expect all the true democrats to vote for the Obama ticket this fall, at least if they are true to policy differences between democrats and republicans.

If they go republican then they are obviously not committed to the policies of the democrats but opportunistic and only vote for the ones that they think will bring them the gravy.

Having said that: if the more affluent dems vote for Obama then they must be willing to sacrifice an extra portion of their income on taxes to help the less affluent out. Now that is someting I applaud, and something the Clinton supporters should think about deep and hard.

The people you are trashing are the same ones who are willing to put their money where their mouth is. In these trying economic times that shows commitment and caring for your fellow man/woman.

I cant wait until you Obamabots are humiliated this NOVEMBER!

You will lose for sure…..and everyone OF YOUR BACKER ARE WORRIED RIGHT DOWN TO THE MEDIA! YEAH THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM..THE MEDIA HAS ADMITTED THAT "OBAMA HAS ALOT OF WORK TO DO!"

Do you think many of us are not educated, hold decent jobs, or old bitter people? Are you kidding me? You obamabots hold hateful perceptions in which you visibly display on a daily basis its sickening! Who wouldn't react! You play the RACE CARD, snub people who CHOOSE not to agree with your PERCEPTIONS OF A CANDIDATE OF YOUR LIKING? And when you find out the majority of voters who chose Hillary have a lower SES (thats social economic status you pinheads who claim to know so much), you antagonize and jeer at their judgment? You also have the audacity to ridicule our choice of candidate because you claim we are basically "an old and bitter? THIS IS THE CHANGE I WANT???? FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!! One poster said it in one freeking sum! KARMA!!! REAP IT! CAUSE IT IS COMING BACK AT YOU AND IT IS NOT SLOWING DOWN!

You do not represent the kind of CHANGE AMERICA WANTS (YOU BIGOTS, SEXISTS, ELITISTS AND SHOW SO MUCH AGEISM) AND YOU WILL FIND OUT IN NOVEMBER ! About 1/2 of the constituency will leave OBAMA ON HIS OWN. He cannot win try as hard as you can……………………..we will not unite with you!

GET OVER IT!

Hillary….if not in '08, then in '12….no Obama dynasty!

I am African-American and a Hillary supporter. I really wish people would stop the name-calling. Why is it racist if 40-60% Whites vote for Hillary , but it is not racist if African-Americans vote 90+% for Obama? Maybe people are just voting their best interest. I do not appreciate being called a traitor because I do not support Obama, so does that mean that the Whites that do not support Hillary are traitors. Let's all just stop the foolish. The people in WV, Kentucky and any other state can vote for whomever they want for whatever reason. They are equally as qualified as "affluent" voters to determine who they want to vote for. It does not take a college degree to vote. By the way, I am a college-educated, professional female, life-long Democrat of 30+ years who will support Hillary until she decides to get out race. It is obvious to me that Obama will get the nomination, but I am not sure who/if I will vote for in the General election. Michelle Obama made the comment that "If Hillary gets the nomination, I do not know if Barack and I can support her". If a presidental candidate's wife is not a party loyalist, then Hillary supporters that choose not to vote for Obama should not be critized for their decision.

Everyone is saying that the less educated are more prone to vote for Hillary and the educated are more prone to vote Obama.

I don't think it is necessarily a matter of education, I think it is more the ability to access different sources of information. Obviously the less affluent people have less access to cable channels, computers (the internet) and other resources that they might utilize to get to know the canidates better. They are not able to seek out the sources that may present a different view of their particular canidate so they go with what they know.

This does not make these people "bad" or "stupid", it only emphasizes how some segments of the population are being left behind and we need to focus on these segments and get them the tools they need to move into the future.

Democracy is about simple rules and simple math. You set the rules and then the one who reaches the objective first is declared the winner. Only the tally, according the rules counts. A vote or a delegate cannot be qualifies by colour, region, religion, race or opinion. Period, end of story

Anyone who thinks they'll cross over and vote repub, or not vote, out of spite, needs to remember, we live in a democracy. We follow whomever is elected, regardless of party or ideology because we accept that the majority rules. Those in the minority may not like it, but no one rebels because their candidate loses. Obama and Clinton are almost identical in their ideologies. You either believe in pro-choice or you don't. You either believe in social programs like universal health care or you don't. You either believe that corporate wellfare needs to be abolished or you don't. You either believe the war in Iraq must end or you don't. Those democrats who hiss and spit like alley cats over one candidate or another need to recall it's not the person who advances these platforms, but the party. If you don't believe in those things that the party belives in, then leave. But don't call yourself a democrat if you plan to abandon the party merely because your candidate couldn't make the cut.

because people arent as stupid as the media likes to tell us they are—-most people are not basing their vote on race or gender, they are voting for the candidate they feel will be better for the country!!! these results arent surprising in any way; oregon is a more progressive state in general, so we want obama. clinton seems to be getting the more conservative states. no story here, CNN, so move on…..

It's a case of Educated People vs those with plain common sense (the backbone of the US of A), compounded by white liberal guilt.

WHY OH WHY do Obamabots cry racism if people don't vote for Obama???

God forbid people (white, black, yellow, purple, etc) reject Obama because of his lack of experience, socialist agenda, and unelectability.

I for one am gleeful that Hillary (Hitlery) is out.

I could have voted for any woman other than Hillary / Ferraro

John, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

It always amazes me that it is not brought up by the press that Hillary and Bill Clinton enjoyed an Ivy League education like Obama. It's a big mystery to me that Obama is defined by some as an elitist. He got his Harvard education through student loans. The Clintons are extremely wealthy whereas Obama is not. If Hillary is getting the "non-educated" vote it is because she has snowed that group like the Republican fear mongers.

Gallup Poll - Election News
Key Clinton Constituencies Moving Toward Obama NEW May 20, 2008
Barack Obama’s widening lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationwide brings with it important gains among Clinton’s core constituencies, including women, whites, and the non-college educated. Obama is now the overwhelming favorite among 18- to
