May 6, 2008, 8:03 p.m.Go Obama. I hope it is a landslide to put that "power" couple from New York out of business. It is incredible that this guy had to fight 4 people to win this state.
Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
John McCain

May 6, 2008, 8:22 p.m.I'm from North Carolina and it doesn't surprise me that he got 90% of the black vote. Most of them are uneducated and living on welfare in the area I'm from, so electing him assures them more government handouts....most wouldn't know anything about any issue, they just want a black man elected...

May 6, 2008, 9:05 p.m.The headless chicken is still running.
Would somone please put that poor creature out of its misery!
I understand that Hillary will be a guest on the Rush Limbaugh show tomorrow. That should be interesting. Ha!
BTW vidman, your ignorant remark about Obama smarts of racism and is quite inacurrate. The average educational level of those supporting Obama is much higher than those voting for Clinton.

May 6, 2008, 11:47 p.m.The real fact is that the voters in Florida and Michigan got screwed and their votes do not count as of now. Those people have a right to be heard and to have their votes count. If they counted those votes Hillary would be winning right now. Don't be surprised if that issue goes to the Supreme Court to give justice to the folks in Michigan and Florida.
Obama and his supporters are not interested in justice though.
Don't get all excited yet. The Supreme Court decides what is legal and it is legal to count all American votes.
By the way. I back vidman by saying that Obama and his followers are the racists by voting for him just because he is black.
Obama is truely the devil himself.

May 7, 2008, 5:50 a.m.A win is a win. Whether blacks or whites or browns voted for him. After all, in USA everything is judged and decided by a person's skin color.
They are not called Americans. They are called whites, blacks, hispanic whites, hispanic blacks, Asian browns.
Even in India, a much bigger and true democracy, the media reports "HOW" many people voted for a candidate. A lesson USA has a long way to go to LEARN.

May 7, 2008, 6:04 a.m.They are called that because that is the way they want it. Just like Obama phrased it on CNN A Slave State. I thought he of all people would refrain from using the word slave after all, they have been without chains for a long time. What was that Mr. Obama a slip of the tongue? Slave state, huh.

May 7, 2008, 7:24 a.m.what about the idea that Sharpton and Jackson really want to see the super delegates to go for Hillary to further their cause of race baiting and hate. Anyone feel the same way about it. If you disagree you don't have to call me names just an opinion would be fine.

May 7, 2008, 8:17 a.m.If Obama had won Indiana, the primaries would be over.
Now, he'll get clobbered by Hillary in West Virginia and probably Kentucky.
Once again, Obama fails to seal the deal.

May 7, 2008, 10:18 a.m.And another good point if he gets elected POTUS, if any foreign leader visiting the White House angers the first lady she'll "gouge their eyes out." On a serious note what has he proposed or done to indicate he will make any difference? All I've seen is more government and more tax dollars.

May 7, 2008, 11:01 a.m.Every black person in my area is voting for Obama. I see their stickers on their cars or in front of their houses in my neighborhood. I talked to one in my buiding the other day. She has no clue about what he stands for and has never voted before. She thinks Obama is gonna help the black community because her church told her so. She was talking about this election like someone would talk about wanting their sports team to win. It's obvious to me she is only voting this time around because there is a viable black (isnt he Half White?) candidate.
as I get older, I realize Alexander Hamilton was right. The sheep can not govern themselves. We desrve to be run by elites or kings. To vote based on race, sex, religion is to ruin the entire concept of self rule.

May 7, 2008, 11:15 a.m.He's only running to stop Hillary. The republicans are going in and voting him because they know he's does nothing except mainly in the interest of African Americans. Take the gas tax reduction for instance, Bush just vetoed it. Obama spoke against it. We need a break so we can take what little we can and sustain our economy with. Bush is afraid that People will take any extra money and find an easier way to live. You know what I mean, like turn your vehicle into a cheaper way to go, buy solar panels for your house or fund Hillary. Maybe spend it on family needs like a doctor, keep someone alive another day. Looks like Obama is out of touch. The President is supposed to put the well being and prosperity of his country first. Those very same republicans will vote republican. The Texas two step is all over the nation. Obama is getting paid to do this buy the republicans. I have enough muslims trying to control my life now.

May 7, 2008, 11:40 a.m.Obama is a master of political speak. Say nothing eloquently. He talks about hope and change. Just like Clintons by word for his first election. "It's time for a change." Then he stuck his finger in the air and went the way the political wind was blowing. Is this going to be the "change" Obama is selling us?
His web site gives a platform that is very comprehensive and will cost more money than the country has. All the far left wish list. His ideas will out spend Clinton's ideas. He is farther left than she is. Of course to pay for it would require a confiscatory tax. But that is what the left is known for. Tax and Spend. And liberals will think Bush had it under control after Obama gets done spending.

May 7, 2008, 11:42 a.m.Barack Obama's Plan
Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief
Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.
Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.

May 7, 2008, 11:42 a.m.Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.
