March 5, 2008, 3:04 a.m.Not a suprise, Ohio mabey....everyone knew the rednecks in Texas were not going to vote for Obama. This is why he could have a hard time becoming the president. I think a lot of the Hillbillys in the country will support McCaine even of they dont agree with his policies just to Keep Obama out. Id the trepublicans win again heaven help us because we will Deserve another 8 years of pain and shame.

March 5, 2008, 3:09 a.m.Clinton won todays primaries by a momentum changing 350,000 votes. On to Pennsylvania (Ohio II) where she should win by 400,000 or more. By the end of the primary season she'll have more total votes than Obama and the super delegates will then fall in line behind the Clinton campaign. The only states left for Obama are Mississippi & the caucus states where there are more cows than people. Maybe he should bow out now before all this becomes obvious.

March 5, 2008, 3:48 a.m.I hope Nader runs just in case Hillary gets the nomination. At least I will have someone to vote for.

March 5, 2008, 4:08 a.m.Hillary still can't win. It's not like the states she won today were winner take all, she barely gained any delegates today.
The numbers just arent on her side for delegates. She could literally win EVERY single state from now until the convention, and still not win(seriusly, go punch in numbers using the delegate counters, give her a 10% win in every state left, She still loses by 50 )
She has to start winning states with 70% or more margins to even make any real dents into obama. It's why Obama has such a commanding lead on her nationally. He took so many of the states he has with giant leads of 70% Plus, which is what gave him so many delegates over her.

Go Hillary..
Aidenag: "Hillary still can't win"..thinking you're going to eat those words...and even if you don't..at least she's a fighter..I want her in my corner, she's showing America Now what a strong leader she will be..I actually did not start out with Hillary as a consideration but after watching and learning I came to the realization that she is indeed the best choice for our Country..

March 5, 2008, 4:42 a.m.The momentum is changing. Obama may have peaked too early. This race is not over by a long shot.

March 5, 2008, 5:08 a.m.I am disappointed, but not discouraged by the election results. Barack is still ahead in the delegates and he's been written off many times, only to defy the odds. Hillary is tenacious because she wants what she wants, and I'm not knocking her for that, but I still prefer Obama's message and his calm, peaceful approach over her belligerence. There are many ways to fight, it isn't necessary to constantly maim and kill each other over our differences. If we are going to survive in this new age, it will be by brains, not brawn.

March 5, 2008, 6:33 a.m.You guys have started sounding like you know who...republicans. You are starting to spin and imagining things that make no mathematical sense. But on top of that you also start to enjoy unethical concepts such as counting states that violated the rules after no serious campaigning took place there and after the rules had already disqualified them. One can make the argument of a new vote there but even this would be a violation of the rules of the game. Still i say bring it on if it comes down to it. Not only Clinton needs to win with big margins but needs to do so in all of them . You realize what this means now dont you? That even if she loses a couple of them not even that 60% in the rest wont be enough . Are you planning to assume she will win all that is left ? In fact of the delegates left she has to win 57.5% of them to close the gap. You are in essence expecting that a race that has been so close so far all over the country will suddenly reverse and become a 58-42 one. DREAMS!

March 5, 2008, 6:35 a.m.Wow, did you see that picture of her? She looks tired, and old. Tired and old enough to be McCain`s daughter, or next wife for that matter.

March 5, 2008, 7:42 a.m.The more chances that she gets towards nomination, it is more and more a predictable John McCain landslide in November.
The male oriented Republican Party machine will sweep her off the floor and dump her in the trash can.
This is one way of the Democratic electorate digging their own grave for next 4 years.

March 5, 2008, 8:20 a.m.Clinton and McCain both won big last night, sounds like there are still a lot of people that voted for Bush still out there voting. I am not an Obama supporter either, too many unknowns about him for my liking. We must have some of the most uninformed shortsighted voters in the world. I grow weary of elections where we have no choice except bad and worse. I am seriously considering not even voting this year and if I do it will be 3rd party, when voting for the lesser of the evils you still are voting for evil.

March 5, 2008, 10:23 a.m.I'll give Hillary this: She did what she needed to do to stay in the race. Personally, I was predicting that she'd do 3 to 5 percent worse than she actually performed (win by 5 to 7% in Ohio and lose by a couple of percentage points in Texas). I'll be interested to see how the delegates are actually proportioned between the two candidates.
Edwards may have enough delegates to broker the convention.

March 5, 2008, 10:25 a.m.These media guys are counting the chickens before they are hatched.
The caucus votes aren't even finished being counted yet. AND the delegates haven't been properly passed out yet.
The math is probably gonna swing to Obama because the Texas system is so weird.

Wow, you just made a reference to Jews liking money?
Racist alarm is going off now. Bigot!

March 5, 2008, 11:05 a.m.I would agree, Obama doesn't give a damn about religions. He changes his religion from time to time anyway depending on what makes his life easier.
Muslim in a Muslim family. Atheist in high school and College. And now...that he's running for office, he's a Christian? Nice. Seems like he does what everyone surrounding him tell him to do.

March 5, 2008, 11:16 a.m.At this point in time, anybody but John McCain. Even Bill Bennett, a conservative commentator, said that John McCain has no clue as to the economy, that he knows nothing about economical issues. Maybe, because McCain went to nothing but the National War College in D.C. surely he learned nothing about economical issues. We really don't need anybody to run this country who went to a War College.
