Go Obama, <<Hitlar-ry Clinginton>> is knocked out.

[dennis]

Democrats can kiss the general election goodbye.. this whole thing is like watching a car wreck in slow motion everyone knows Obama can't win in the fall but some many people desperately want him to win... black people want black President.. liberal whites want to feel good about voting for a black man... other people think he's really going to change washington and change their life for the better.... he'll change the world view of America overnight..etc.etc. etc.. sounds great.. but guess what .. reality hardly ever measures up to reality... leave it to the Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

McCain is an old out of touch poltician that sold out the far right in his party to win the election..he's a war monger ... and he's going to crush Obama in the fall... thanks for nothing Democrats..

[Jim O]

He may win the nomination; however, this just gives the White House back to the republicans.....

[dgshiner]

Whether it gives it back to the Republicans GOD only knows but I pray that Obama is elected president we have tried it with Republicans for 8yrs. GO Obama Go !!!!!

[Wii]

Obama can and will win in November.

Vote Democratic then. At least your vote counted. The White House will not be republican this time.

Republican bullshit - McCain will lose to any dog catcher who runs. The American people aren't idiots even if 25% of the republican party is.

Obama may win, but it'll be worse than Dubya. Another on the job trainee. The Islamic nutballs must be salivating, although they'll have to go some to reach the levels of Matthews, Russert and Oberidiot near orgasmic gushing.

I'm voting for Liberman.

[OWL]

[L Fullen]

We (Democrats) need to get up off our seats and help Barack Obama make this change happen.Maybe then we can have world peace.

Obama is nothing more than an empty suit. You morons follow his "change" speech and signs. Hell the idiot cannot even come up with a new speech. It is basically the same one he has been doing for the last 4 months and he will not answer what does "change" really mean. First off if he thinks as Pres he can stop PAC's in congress he is an idiot. Heck his own party gets millions from them. Also he himself has received big donations from the top oil execs in the country.

Well certainly you should look for some other place to go definitely not an American. In case you missed the point he is of mixed race - like that matters anyhow. Maybe the white half if you have one will get an itch (assuming that you are indeed a human being and not some genetically obscure caveman) and vote. Know you would never vote for a woman - because for one to have anything to do with you would have to be equally cretinous. As for burning crosses - have a hunch you aren't a Christian either so why pretend. Why don't you just go out and get the outhouse from your camp in the woods and burn it? Then the fire would truly smell like the burning piece of shit you people are. Stay out of elections, we will pass laws, hunt you down, and lock up your genetically psychotic ass in the future - till then go live in your little comic book world (unless those are too complicated for you to read also).

“OBAMA WON A BIG VICTORY IN NORTH CAROLINA,” the biggest state left with 115 delegates!~~~~~~~~~

“UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION:”~~~ Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos where urged his listeners to “bloody up” Obama by voting for Clinton in the primaries – is under criminal investigation in Ohio for violating that state’s election law.~~~~~~

With Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos – where the right-wing talk show host urged his listeners to “bloody up” Obama by voting for Clinton in the primaries – is under criminal investigation in Ohio for violating that state’s election law. With Clinton winning Indiana by a mere 22,000 votes (which had an open primary and she was the overwhelming choice of Republicans), she can thank Rush for giving her that margin of victory – hardly a comforting thought.~~~~~~

“OBAMA RECEIVED A HUGH BLACK TURNOUT”:~~~ Despite talk of a “polarized” Democratic electorate along racial or class lines.~~~~~~

“OBAMA RECEIVED A 14 POINT VICTORY”:~~~ Obama made in-roads last night with Hillary Clinton’s base that will help him win the general election. With his 14-point victory in the last primary state that had over 100 delegates.~~~~~~

“OBAMA ERASED Hillary’s POPULAR VOTE!”~~~ Obama sealed the nomination and erased the “popular vote” gains that Clinton had achieved in Pennsylvania. Clinton’s two-point victory in Indiana – only made possible by Rush Limbaugh urging his listeners to vote for her – did not offset her inevitable loss, as the mainstream media proclaimed it a “momentum-killer” for her campaign.~~~~~~

“CLINTON Cancelled” PUBLIC APPEARANCES”:~~~ Clinton has cancelled all of her public appearances today, giving Democrats the chance to rally around Obama – who is now the presumptive nominee.~~~~~~

THE “PRESS / MEDIA:”~~~~: While anyone who did the math could have told you in early March that Obama had an insurmountable delegate lead, the press kept insisting that Clinton could still win the nomination because some states had yet to vote.

But last night, nearly half of the remaining pledged delegates were allocated – and Obama won a big victory in North Carolina, the biggest state left with 115 delegates.

According to blogger Chris Bowers, Obama won 63 delegates in the Tar Heel State to Clinton’s 52 ~~~~~Indiana gave Clinton 38 to Obama’s 34.~~~~~~~~~

In other words, Clinton fell even further behind in a race where the states are quickly running out. She may still win smaller states like West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico – but they will be offset by Obama victories in Oregon, Montana and South Dakota.~~~~~~~~~

San Francisco was my home for 35 yrs.“San Francisco is Still Beautiful with Beautiful People!~~~~~~~~~

Please read the “EDITOR’S NOTE” of Paul Hogarth volunteered on Obama’s field operation in San Francisco. For more information visit ~~~ beyondchron.org ~~~~~~~~~~

Obama for President!

Obama has not had the string of life failures that Bush had before occupying the White House. Compare their pre-White House history: Bush's track record is mediocre, despite constant support from his wealthy and powerful family. He was a mediocre student, an absentee National Guard, a failed business owner, a mediocre oil man, etc. Obama is a self-made man (with support from his not wealthy or powerful family), who was an outstanding student, president of Harvard Law Review, civil rights attorney, law professor and community organizer.
