"Obama won black women and black men with 84 and 87 percent respectively"

What does this proof? Nothing, but yes America is a racist country! trace-sc

Racist on whose part? Hillary did not play the race card. This divide was so Obama could win the most populated black states. That sounds racist to me. If anything can tell you that Obama is a racist, look at his record. For one, who wrote a book that speaks alot on this issue, how he felt about his mother and Grandmother. Then Obama marries a woman who writes a college paper on racism, speaking that Blacks should not live among the white and other bits on racism. Then you have them both going to the most racist church in this country, associates themselves with a Pastor who is racist and also hates Jews, then they bring Farrakhan into the picture. Obama is also associated with the Nation of Islam by people adminitrating on his campaigne. He has also had words about Palistine in the past. This is all facts and cannot be ignored. Is this what this country needs. If we are going to choose a black man for president, he needs to be on middle ground, normal.

Experience always trumps talk.
"Baby Boomers are waking up and realizing their Candidate Hillary Clinton will lead them to the White House. This is not a game of chance! This is an important vote for experienced leadership. The Republicans have always said Hillary was unstoppable!
Hillary will Win for every women who was told not to speak out of turn....
every women who was not allowed to vote.... every women who was told they have to stay in their place....every women who was limited on who they could be or what salary or job they could hold. Hillary Clinton will break all tradition. Not just for the students and youth- but for all of us who had to work and wait for this time in history to come. Determined, supported and encouraged Hillary Clinton will march forward to victory!

Are you that blind? Obama is no perfect angel, he tried to portray himself that way, sitting on a cloud, one fault, which he has man and he falls hard, that is what happens if you are trying to sit high. Hillary didn''t do this, her falls are small. The Media has been bashing Hillary even up to the voting in Ohio, Texas and the other two states, until they saw the comeback kid again. She won Ohio, which has very much determined the next president. She won Ohio double digets. She won the states that vote democrat in the National election. Obama does not have a chance beating McCain, hate to tell you but all those states he won that he so brags about 5 always go Republic and 3 others most always go Republic. It will not work, and I''m sure the DNC knows this.

The exit polls in both Ohio and Texas are very telling. In both states one demographic made all the difference in the primaries. Hillary won by large margins with the less educated voters. Isn''t that interesting - she is bouyed by those that as a group buy much more into the negative campaign she is running and the fear she invokes - while those that are more educated and more likely to think for themselves and what might really be best for the country shy away from her. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Hillary.

-False. No real racism in this case. Blacks represent roughly 10-15% of the total American population. If this historically opressed minority voted for a black candidate, they cannot make a substantial difference in the results. Keep in mind that about 20% of blacks voted for Clinton. I think what made Obama lose his his shine is the Bigot lies regarding his religious affiliation, circulating on the internet. I have suggested Obama not to be singled out by religious biggots about his affiliation to any religion. It shows how frigid and cautious we are regarding other religions. (I always thought religion is a futile time loss).

-Obama has kept an appreciable advantage in Delegates number. This will be impossible for Clinton to bridge. The numbers needed for Obama to the finish line is 486. But the number needed for Clinton to clinch is 587, exactly 21% more than Obama, meaning that the next struggle would need to provide Clinton above 60.5% of delegates, and Obama at 39.5%.

-Delegates will have to make this happen before we Hilary making it to nomination, which is quite unlikely...

Sorry Obama, but no President "can walk" away from problems. People are finally seeing that you are NOT qualified.

Again I will say, it makes me want to barf the way FOX, CNN, and MSNBC are kissing Obama''''s butt and they are NOT being objective news reporters as they are SUPPOSED TO BE.

The media has lost ALL CREDIBILITY with the public because of their slanted, biased reporting, ignoring Obama''''s faults and inexperience. Pathetic.

-dumpublic, sorry for your pathetic post , but this is real dumm. I just can''t see anything real about that ''holdup'' prepared by the Northern GOPIGs-affiliated Canadians who leaked a confidential information, only in order to make Obama trip. They succeeded. Obviously!. It''s unfortunate to see Hilary jumping on the opportunity and stepping on Obama who has shown to well contained and preserving the fair relationship and away from negativity.

Hilary has shown a dumb attitude when she started her scaring campaign, similar to Bush''s way of deception. Obama needs seriously to review his way of future campaign, until the end. Meanwhile all is allowed as long as he can respond appropriately, which he will, I''m pretty sure.

What the Obama BIASED Media continullay fail to point out is that Michigan and Florida DID have primaries and we chose Hillary! (We have a woman Gov. & Senator here in MI) The will of the States must prevail at the convention. Hillary has won New York, New Hampshire, RI, Florida, Texas, California, Ohio, Michigan, and likley Pennsylvania. She should be in the lead! The Democratic party and the Media are bending over backwards to help Obama rather than the true leader of the party, Hillary Clinton. She has EARNED it! Obama will NEVER be accepted compared to John McCain once the election begins, (Based on his record and issues, not race). You have to stop saying he leads delegates without a footnote nod to MI and Florida who''s delegates belong to Hillary!!!!
