Comments on: Little Gain In Big Win For Clinton

Analysis: A Blowout Win Doesn't Erase Obama's Lead, Says CBSNews.com's Vaughn Ververs, But It Does Increase Dem Concerns

Rufisgufis, Neither Hillary or I smoke, but that''s not what I hear about Obama!

[rufisgufis]

In what some Democratic Party insiders are calling a particularly ominous sign for Hillary Clinton''s presidential campaign, former president Bill Clinton today became the latest super delegate to switch from Sen. Clinton(D-NY) to her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill).

Sources close to the former president said that Mr. Clinton had been mulling such a defection for months, as early as the night of the Iowa primary, but that he only decided to make his decision public today.

"The American people want change," Mr. Clinton said at a press conference in New York. "Lord knows I do."

Rufisgufus, Obama has made reelection campaign contributions to these superdelegates. They have been bought. And I''m sure some of them favor him, but I could care less about that. I want to win in November...that is why I am for Hillary!

Obama has won in red states with heavy black populations. He has not won in states with a mixed population except a few caucus wins and Illinois. The big states, the blue states and the swing states have voted for Hillary in impressive numbers for the most part. That says everything!

Still smoking that stuff I see. Obama won Illinois, Kansas, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and others. You better leave that stuff alone, it''s *** up your brain.

If Hillary attracted a broad range of voters she would not be losing to Obama. How can she beat McCain when she can''t beat Obama?

Since South Carolina Hillary''s share of the black vote has diminished from 88% to 2%. I think they did not like her and Bills racist comments.

Obama has to have the superdelegate votes to win just as Hillary does. The superdelegates are going to have to decide who is going to be the nominee and they had better be intelligent about it. CNN is saying Obama is ahead...that is all. He has not won. Period.

EddyNewHope, Democrats on planet earth in the Democratic states since Super Tueday have been saying the same thing. They want Hillary to be the nominee.

Since Super Tuesday Obama has picked up 31 Super Delegates to Hilary''s 4. Obama has won a total of 34 states to Hillary''s 18. So if America wanted Hillary to win they should have a strange way of showing it.

Of course, the Democrats want the black vote and they want the white vote, and the Hispanic vote, etc. The black vote is important but other groups are important, too. Hillary attracts a broad range of voters.

I can understand you people wanting Hillary to win, nothing wrong with that. What is not understandable is that it is mathematically impossible. It was just stated over CNN that Hillary would have to win 91 percent of the remaining delegates in order to overtake Obama. Try to keep in mind, it''s not about the states, it the DELEGATES that count.

kstar42......Hillary can''t win without the Black vote. If it wasn''t for the Black vote, Democrats would never elect a president.

Bill Clinton did not get the majority of the white vote. It was the Black vote that put him in office. Democrats NEED minority votes or they don''t win.

Rednecks like the ones in WV vote republican. They put Bush in office twice. They''re not too bright.

The black vote only makes out to 13% in america and 12% hispanic so whats your point.

HILLARY LOVED IT WHEN OVER 90% OF THE BLACKS VOTED FOR BILL FOR PRESIDENT IN 1992 AND 1996. WITHOUT THE BLACK VOTE CLINTON WOULD HAVE LOST.

EddyNewHope, Hillary has won all the important states, the Democratic states and the swing states. That says it all!!! I could care less about the red states...it doesn''t mean a thing as far as electability. Polls in the last month have shown that Hillary outpolls Obama in a national match-up against McCain. Actually, polls now are not all that meaningful. Dukakis was ahead in the polls at this point and so was Kerry and they still lost. Hillary is a fighter and is more attractive to many Democrats which has been demonstrated at the polls.

[kstar42]

It should scare you that without the Black vote Hillary Can''''t beat McCain.

So If you think Obama is not electable, Hillary is really not electable.

"Hillary stands a better chance than Obama!!!"

What planet are you on? By what metric are measuring Hillary''s chances? I''m baffled. She had every advantage including a former president campaigning for her, the Clinton political machine, she was the "presumptive nominee" up until Iowa, she had a 120 super delegate head start... and she STILL lost handily. Where does your optimism about Hillary come from? If you have a real answer, you might want to send it over the Clinton campaign. I''m sure they''d appreciate it. LOL

As a child I once read a book entitled: "The Portrait of Dorian Gray." It was the story of an immoral man who remained as handsome as ever for many, many years. In fact, he never appeared to age. Then one day his portrait, painted when he was in the prime of his life, was discovered and removed from a closet. The man pictured in the portrait was grotesquely ugly. When this portrait was exposed to the light of day, all of the ugliness was transferred to the real person: Dorian Gray. I think of that story every time I see Hillary.
