Good Evening Anderson, Erica, John King, members of the best political team on television and Bloggees (whoa thats alot of people ;P)

Happy Pennsylvania Primary Eve to all HAHA

Can you all believe 6 weeks have already flown by??? (thank goodness)

Hi Anderson, Erica, and Bloggers!
Happy Monday!
I am hoping Hillary Clinton will win tomorrow night.

Hi Anderson & Erica,

Sounds like tomorrow is going to be an exciting day. Looking forward towards the results. Have a great show!

Good evening, Anderson! Looking forward to tomorrow, even though I'm Canadian, it's so interesting to follow this US Presidential race.

Tomorrow's big day of voting will not really be known until the polls close. All the analysis and wishful thinking will mean zip. The voters will be the only ones that produce the results in Penn.

Good Evening Anderson, Erica, & Bloggers

Obama '08!

Very funny! Megan O.

Soooo glad these 6 weeks are finally over!!! Let's get voting PA!!

Ola AC, Erica, and fellow bloggers!!!

Hi Anderson, Erica and John King.

Good evening Anderson and Erica

If the 7% of the undecided went for Obama and it ended up 50/50 what would be the delegate split. John King can the magic wall answer my question?!?!?!

Good Evening!!!

Has either Clinton or Obama camps came out to suggest the two should team up on the ticket?

Did anyone catch Hillary's interview on Larry King Live??

Hillary will win PA

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Given Hillary's campaign finances, can she afford to be in the kitchen?!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!
Anderson, love the tie!

I can't wait see primary vote tomorrow night!
YES! I love new poll!

Hi everyone, I am so excited about tomorrow!
It'll be a great day and I am going to be seriously sleep-deprived on Wednesday Democracy at work... and for its sake, just seeing the enthusiasm and the participation is worth it already, regardless of the outcome...

Anderson, I hope your panel discussion at Radio City went well tonight. I look forward to the program and blog discussion this evening.

Kevin you are so right......if you can't pay your bills why would people want you in charge of the nations finances?

Shouldn't the Democrats step in and negotiate a close to the race – and start focusing their attention on winning the White House?

Candy's looking vavavoom tonight! You go girl!

I can't wait for Hillary to win big tomorrow!!!!!

There is magic in the air.Hillary has captured that spirit and will soar to
win PA tomorrow.
Hillary 2008 !

Looking forward to the show. Hi bloggers!

Ugh. The "white, older, female" comment used to describe Hillary voter's is so tacky.

Hey Anderson, Erica, Candy, , truly the best team on the web,(oh, and on tv, radio too). Saludos desde Mexico, Bloggers and Bloguettes .

Anderson,
Cool tie! I love your tie!

If I recall John King's magic graphs, Hillary could win the state but Barack could be tied or possibly come out ahead of Hillary in terms of delegates based on where he is strong in the state.

Hey Anderson

Hillary campaigned in Johnstown yesterday. This is the second time the campaign has come here, Pres. Bill Clinton was here a couple of weeks ago. It should earn her some points as it's unusual for people to come to small towns like this.

Lots of media but no CNN; aw shucks!

Hi everyone, it is monday....

Obama – Cooper '08!

Hello Anderson and all. Hope you and all the bloggers had a good weekend.

Looking forward to the show tonight.

EJ – that is my dream ticket but how bout Cooper – Obama 08

Hillary '08!

Just because I never see Hillary supporters do that on here, I thought I should

EJ,
are you nuts? why not for vote Cooper?

Hilliary may win tomorrow but the math just doesn't add up and won't when its all said and done.

Ehh, shouldn't it be Cooper – Hill 08?

Definitely Obama for America and the world!!!

That tie is is sort of matching Anderson's hair. That's pretty cool.

Awesome tie Anderson!!!

Brian, I agree – the white older female comment will really get the vote out

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to have one of those screens John's playing with...cool stuff.

I think Clinton will win tomorrow considering this state has been labeled as Clinton's all along. But if she won with less than double digits, it is the time she should quit. I believe that politic is more like poker than a horse race. when the odds are not on your side, you must be rational about when to make a good fold for the bigger reason.

Gov Rendell already told you what the problem is that has not change in the past few weeks. I think the Sen has been able to gain some support but the MSM will not let the truth be heard, you guys are hell bent on filling the air ways with the side issues that may or may not have a ring of truth to it.

Erica, what is the name of the equipment John King is using?

Anderson, John, I read somewhere that Obama has a real chance of coming out of the primaries with less than 100 depegates short of the 2.025. It was the first time I heard that might be possible. Can you tell me if that's realistic with expected margins?

I love this electronic map!

Former Bill Clinton says it best:
President Clinton stated "One of Clinton's laws of politics is this: If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is trying to get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person that wants you to think and hope...that's the best." I have nothing else to add to his comments.

Check out this video itself: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZW0m2nWB_M).

I am so happy John King is back. I miss him, and I miss his maps lol.
Anderson, your Outside Magazine article was amazing. You really do make a difference in the world. Thank you for all that you do. I adore you.

Go Obama.

I know I would never get in the ring with Hillary – I bet she would fight dirty!!

I am so looking forward to tracking the PA primary results by watching CNN and following online as well. It is fabulous to see those numbers come in virtually "live" on CNN.com. Go Hillary!

John ROCKS at the smart board!

John King has practiced using that touch screen, I know it. He just did a double line with one hand...

in my small low income town..we are all Obama

I agree Angel. I really like that screen as well.

My dream ticket is Cooper-Hill 08' or Hill- Cooper 08'

Either way works for me! I think they are the DREAM TEAM...lolz

hillary needs 60 percent of remaining delegates to win nomination. Is that possible? Is it realistic?

Good evenin' all!

Mona, I think it's actually called the "magic wall".

I can see the magic wall being hours of fun

Each democrat promises to unite at the end of all the primaries, and work hard for whoever is the candidate? But will their surogates.?

Carmen, Marina, CA

Me TOOOOOOOOOOO Hillary did great on larry king i cant wait till tomorrow

I am a white older female..and my vote is for OBAMA

Hello everyone!!!

Love the tie Anderson!!

Hey Anderson,
I am in PA. There are a number republicans who have switched parties just for this primary so they can pick whomever they believe McCain can beat. I think that should be mentioned when speaking of party switchers.

Anderson, The lady reporter Candy C on your show there made a comment about white, old lady that was quite uncalled for. May be she was not talking about the candidate? Most of us are not exactly white nor old but we are certainly Hillary constituency. So, she may need to adjust her "typical white" "typical old" statements patterned after Obama. I did notice her tone perks up when she talks of Obama. Amazing how much these things tend to transmit through the tube.

altho if anyone tells you they KNOW what's going to happen in PA just take it with a grain of salt

I still think Hillary might win PA by fifteen points. I have talked with some people from PA and it feels like another New Hampshire to me. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

Jen I was just thinkin the same thing...
My dream ticket is Cooper-Hill 08′ or Hill- Cooper 08′

Either way works for me! I think they are the DREAM TEAM…lolz

I truly look forward to the day where we can discuss voters as just Americans and not Black or white, male or female, etc. Our individual stories encompass the American experience and all lend to the greatness of our country. When we begin to see that, this is when our nation will recapture its lost glory and ascend to even greater heights!!!

Hello Bloggers! Oh yes, the PA primary is finally here!!! The webcam is doing a great job at letting us see the set tonight. Thanks.

Who will win? I'm not even going to guess!

Mona, there are various brand names. But this is being used alot in school systems now. Well, maybe not with so many bell and whistles.

I watched Dancing with the Stars while Hillary was on with LK......I am tired of hearing her. Just my opinion

I think both candidates would make a great President – a great deal better than who the other side is backing

Hey, after tomorrow, can we give politics a bit of a break for the rest of the week?

Anderson,

I am watching your coverage live now. I am black from Eritrea (A nation with dictator government) but Obama's foreigh policy does not appeal to me.

He said that he is willing to talk with dictators (Hamas, Iran and venezual). That is a bad example for a country that stand for freedom.

Thanks Bloggers vote Hillary Clinton!

Good evening Anderson:)

Would Barack be showing his supporters how confident he is in winning the Presidency by giving up his senate seat; after all you can't be a President and a Senator at the same time.

My vote is for Hillary!! The rest of my familly is also voting for Hillary in PA. .....................................

Good Evening ,
Anderson and Erica Tommorrow is a big day for us in Penn. It's when Hillary will knock the socks off of Obama
Looking forward for a good show.

Maybe 360 should raffle off Anderson's tie for charity. That silver/blue one is my favorite one so far.

I've been for Hillary since the beginning but about 2 months ago I was just oversaturated with poll results, CNN commentators, 'what if' stories, scandals, mud slingers, etc.
I'm still a Clinton supporter but I no longer listen to political reports on any network – wonder how many more viewers agree? I long for NEW news.

So, for the Obamites out there, how is your candidate for change doing? Same ole, same ole politics. He hasn't changed a thing. He has been running negative ads or saying negatives things in debates since last fall. Are you seeing this yet? He is the candidate for "I change my mind" not changing America.

Howard Dean deserves heartburn! If he had made a rational decision about Michigan and Florida – like the repubs did – they lost half their delegates for voting early, but the candidates were allowed to campaign there – if that had happened – that wouldn't still be a very big unresolved issue now....

I suspect there are more white older females voting for Obama than is reported by the media. It's not just the black vote that's leading Obama to the White House! Go Obama!

Tomorrow is Earth Day. Which candidate is greener?

I watched the Larry King interview with Clinton. She was articulate and did well. I was really impressed with her saying that if Obama gets the nomination, she will do everything in her power to support him in the general election. It shows that she has the country's back and that is important. I would like to have seen Obama, but he had a scheduling conflict and declined the interview.

I'm going to take an AC360 poll on the comments on the blog and try to keep track of the Clinton and Obama comments. I'll see if I can keep up and post through out the evening.

Clinton will win, but not by nearly what it will take to stop the Obama Express. Get ready for one of the dirtiest campaigns in U.S. History down the stretch.

I don't think Hillary will be out of the race tomorrow. Split in half, that's what I think will happen.

How will the Republicans attack if the ticket if it is Clinton and Obama?

Call me a dork but I'm so excited about the restarting of primary season. John King and the delegate board are back, I'm pumped. Lol

Sue Polinick/Pennsylvania> I'm 19 (male obviously) and a Hillary supporter. I hate when polls categorize each voter group based on education, race, age, etc. It serves no purpose.

Nice plug Anderson. So do you support Hilary Clinton as well?

Obama's campaign is change but he only offers lose change not
the solid dollars and sense that we see from Clinton. You can't just rally around a word when what you're offering is nickles and dimes solutions.
Experience counts more for the future of this country then the
hype that you represent change.

Kevin,

"I truly look forward to the day where we can discuss voters as just Americans and not Black or white, male or female, etc. "

That will never be, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It's always interesting to see how different demographics vote.

Those who want Hillary out of the race because they say she can't win or they just want the whole primary process done with may want to consider that this time we are in is history in the making: not just because it is the first time a woman and an African American are running. Consider that the race is so close and Michigan and Florida are up in the air. This is the first time in modern politics that there are so many confluence of events. Wow! What a time to be in America! Exciting, frustrating, exhausting and so worth the effort!

Every teacher I know in Philadelphia, including me, and my family is voting for Hillary.

EJ just don't touch the gold tie... That one must stay.

I think Hillary will win in PA, by how much I don't know. I'm hoping she wins by a big margin...

Hi, everyone. Game day tomorrow - glad to see you're all looking fwd to it!

I'm sitting next to John King as I type this - he says "hi" to everyone on the blog.

Mona, John tells me the offiical name is the CNN "multi-touch" board, but he thinks we can do better. So, we're asking for your thoughts - can you come up with something a little catchier?

Jo Ann...I agree with you I'm looking for a 15 point win by Hillary in PA.

EJ,
You're right! That is my favorite color too.

Larry – Why should Barack give up his seat while Hillary and McCain keep their seats! He doesn't have a 100 million in income like the Clintons and McCains!

Erica....it's a smart board...right?

Cooper, Hillary will win tomorrow by double digits. Hillary has shown Obama's electabilty weakness from his debate last week. And she will go all the way to the convention.

When it comes to experience, in the past few years the President has not had a lot of experience. So that doesn't work for me.

Anderson is always sooo well dressed...in his nice crisp suits...he dresses better than celebrities! Well he really is a celebrity since he has like sooo many stalkers!

I don't get what the deal with age, race, or gender has to do with the elections. Why can't people just vote on what they NEED in the white house and not what they want to see (what do we need.......the race is so close).

when did nasty politics become a plus in the leadership game.

John King rules on the Smart Board. So cool. I want one.

@ Erica,
say hello to John King for me!!!!

No matter the outcome, we have to admit that this is by far the most historical election we have seen. People who have had no interest in politics have gotten up and taken notice and even registered to vote for the first time in their lifes. I predict that politics will not be the same ole as usual from now on.

Hi Erica, please say hi to John K. for us too! Tell him please we always love his maps!

Maureen T> I don't think Anderson is gonna reveal who he's backing anytime soon, I think that'd turn it into AC180, whether he wants to or not.

How about the "plotical dreams vs. political realities board"? although I agree that's a mouthful...

Whats up everyone. Hope your weather was better than the rain I had all day! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts tonight.

hey erica........ we had a board like that in high school we called our the "smart board"

Why is it that if we ask questions about Barack's resume that we must therefore be Hillary supporters and not just wanting to be informed voters?

good evening.. just logging in now... been running around on the set too much to type...

I am a college-educated, white collar professional living in Pittsburgh. I bought a home in the city and enjoy all of the amenities of urban living–museums, the theater, major sporting events–yet when I tune into 360 I hear a Pittsburgh described that I don't recognize. While we do have a proud blue collar past, most of the people that I know are working for technology firms, financial institutions, law firms, or universities. Pittsburgh will never get its due respect if it continues to be stereotyped in the media just because it makes the best story.

Would Hillary give up her Senate Seat to show her supporters how confident she is. That would be a sign of extreme confidence as well.

Hello, John "Smart-Board King!

welcome to the blog Anderson. Busy set tonight

Hello Anderson! Hillary 08!

Anderson, why should Hillary have to get out of the race if she doesn't win big time tomorrow? We here in Indiana hasn't even voted yet.

I've talked with several women my age......um somewhat over 50....and younger and, though, we all started out Hillary girls......we're all pretty turned off by her negatives......she and Bill are the old Washington stuff we've all lived through......we definitely, desperately need someone who will stay out of the mud, unless provoked. Problem is...the way Clinton's play dirty if you don't respond somewhat in kind you're a wimp.....if you do you're "wining." Give us a break. Is it about the Clinton's winning and legacy or is it about the country?

please say hello to John King for me too!!!

i've pretty much been calling the multi-touch board "John King's Magic Touch-Screen".... lame, i know, but......that's kinda it

oh man who told Anderson to get rid of the wah wah wah.....that was so great. That's how we knew if Anderson did not like the winner

Erica> John King's Portal to Primary Predictions and Polls~

Thats too long, but I went for the alliteration.

What? no waa waa waa for Beat 360? That's too bad...I like the waa waa waa......LOL!

Hey Erica, say hi to John for me and tell him I love his magic wall!

how's everyone tonight?
a few points that i think answer some of the questions:
if obama carries the philadelphia area with a decent margin, he COULD lose the state but still get close to a 50-50 delegate split.
the delegate math is only part of the story. senator clinton needs to narrow the gap in the popular vote AND win the bulk of the remaining states to have a strong argument for the superdelegates. a tough task. but not impossible which is why we are all so interested, isnt it!

I like the John Smart-Board King

OBAMA '08.....YES WE CAN..... IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.......

Obama keeps talking about how he will change the way we do business in DC. He is already in DC, what change has he even made an attempt at? He reminds me of a Shaman, lots of smoke surrounding him with the hope that the magic will happen!! With Hillary in the White House we won't be waiting for the magic to happen because we won't need it!

Hi Anderson, good evening.

While Smart Board is definitely catchy, alas, it's taken... already copyrighted by another company for their technology.

As of 10:19 the bloggers are commenting as follows:

Comments in favour of Clinton 25

Comments in favour of Obama 12

Comments in favour or AC's tie/suit about 50!

Eric / John,

How about the "Electorial Scoreboard" or ESB? Hmmm?

Everyone needs a Magic Wall!!

i feel sorry for states who haven't had their primary – it's as if the early states have the upper hand -not fair

Hello John King – Nice work on the "multi touch" board. You seem to always enjoy that thing.

Joh you're on the blog.....you rock!!!!!!

Thanks for answering the question.

BTW – You need a pic up like Anderson and Erica

You guy need to stop this black, white thing on your show. These are hidden racial code words. It doesn't matter who vote for Obama or Hillary. They are all American!

Kathy K> I think its about who is strong enough to win against Republicans. And I was 50/50 on the candidates, but in my eyes Obama has promised to be above usual politics, yet he has his claws out too. I don't blame either for getting dirty, but Hillary never said she was "above" it. That's why I know Hillary is my candidate now.

Erica, evening.
I would like to know what the difference in rally participation is tonight in PA. Anybody know?

Kathy i agree, most women i know are disgusted by Hillary, i have family in NY and they are really not liking the Hillary of late, they feel she's gotten very cheap.

I predict PA will go for Hillary by 8-12 points. Any bloggers with different spread points?

Why all the demographics? I thought the great "Uniter" was going to bring them all together? LOL

MAGIC TOUCH-SCREEN!!!!!!
pretty sure that's not copyrighted.....

I think anyone would enjoy that board! A new name... um... "John's Super Board"? In honor of super delegates...?

I think it would have to be ESB - electorial smartboard is a mouthful!

Yeh right, as if college education has some correlation to who you vote for. All this categorizing seems so pointless and insulting to me.

Lesli, lol, so at least we are agreed on who the nominee should be although we can't afford to lose a great journalist to politics really...

Hi John King! Glad to see you tonight! Well, since John is the only one I've ever seen using the multi-touch board, I would call it the "John-Touch" board....oh no....on second thought that probably is not such a good idea....LOL! Plus, cleaning the finger prints marks would drive me nuts.

But im sure there is one thin every one agrees on, that its almost finally over in Pennsylvania, it has been brutal , exasperating and tiring!

I think Hillary will be 7 – 9 points.....I don't see her going higher then 11 but what do I know

"As of 10:19 the bloggers are commenting as follows:

Comments in favour of Clinton 25

Comments in favour of Obama 12

Comments in favour or AC’s tie/suit about 50!"

hahaha – Leslie – that's because we know what the issues are that are important in the world!!

why does the media speculate and separate voters into blocks? we're all just "one vote – one person" ...

Carmen – I am expecting Hillary to win by 5 – 8 points (although I am praying Barack upsets her!!!!)

The vote will sway in favor of Obama tomorrow in Pennsylvania. He will be elected President in November and will be successful in bringing prosperity to the economy, peace in the Middle East and unity in Washington.

John, great to hear from you! So, what margin does Obama need in Philly to come close to Hillary statewide or in the delegate count?

Lesli> Haha your so right! I was thinking the same thing.

Anderson's Tie '08!!

WE NORTH CAROLINIANS WOULD LIKE TO THINK WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON. I KNOW SOME WHO HAVE CHANGED TO DEMOCRATE IN ORDER TO VOTE FOR HILLARY....YET CNN SEEMS TO THINK IT'S OVER IF SHE DOES NOT WIN IN PENNSYLVANIA.

WE ARE A STATE IN NC AND NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL HILLARY TO QUIT. WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR CHANCE JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER HORRID WAYS OF HAVING
A PRIMARY. JUST SEEMS LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

Good evening Anderson, Erica, bloggers, and AC360 staff.

Whew hew... This is a shout out for the single woman. Get out and vote. Looking forward to seeing your piece on this after the commercial break.

Can't wait until tomorrow night. Should be interesting.

After watching the whole commercial, I think the issues portrayed are extremely valid. Major issues were exhibited in "snipits." What better "snipit" for the war on terror than a pic of bin Laden?

How come the bars on Bill's graphic charts were so wildly inaccurate and did not at all reflect the numbers next to them? On the above-60 voter chart for example it said that 60-some percent voted for Hillary and 28% for Obama but the bars were quite close together?

Carmen ~ I'll take Hillary for 3-5 points

Forgot to say 'HI' Anderson & Erica! I also wanted to say how much I enjoy the webcam.

lol EJ – I agree

Yes John needs a pic!!

Uh Oh, looks like Anderson is rejiggring something

Hey Anderson and Erica...........Why isn't the Clinton event being streamed on your site?

Hmmmm, no offense to the great people of Pittsburgh, but Anderson Refered to them as "PittsBURGERS" had to laugh!!! Is that what they are called there?

Hillary will win by 14 points .

Hello Lilibeth!
You're funny! :p I missed that too beat 360!

Hey, can we get to the issues of this sooooooooooo serious debate on political issues........even though you all look great and stuff.

Hillary was wonderful on LKL – as always.

Obama was asked to be on the same show, but didn't have time. He also didn't have time to answer a foreign policy question today from a reporter – Obama whined that he wanted to be left alone to eat his waffle.

Nice to know he has his priorities straight. In the unlikely chance he becomes POTUS, I hope his time management skills improve, as I don't think you can put a crisis on hold to finish your waffle.

I call it the magic wall.....it will always be the magic wall to me and I want it

"Cooper-Hill '08" is a bumper sticker I would be willing to put on my car. I don't like stickers on my car, but for that campaign- I'll make an exception. Only problem is, people would be asking me who is "Cooper-Hill". LOL

Brain, you're right "John King’s Portal to Primary Predictions and Polls" is too long but the use of alliteration is fantastic.

I live in a suburb of Philly. I'm voting for Hillary, my whole family is voting for Hillary and 90% of my Democratic friends are voting for Hillary.

Hillary has alot of supporters in PA. I think its going to be a huge upset for Obama. My prediction is a double digit lead by Hillary Clinton.

WE NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE READY TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON....SO PLEASE STOP SAYING WE WON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO VOTE.

IS THIS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY OR WHAT WHEN WE HAVE A HORRID WAY TO DECIDE ON A CANDICATE. SURELY, EVERY STATE SHOULD HAVE A VOTE. A CHANGE ON VOTING IN THE PRIMARIES NEEDS TO BE REVISED.

GO HILLARY, WE ARE WITH YOU. REPUBLICANS ARE CHANGING TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY.

oh anderson, love ya, but don't promote "guilt by association" campaigning!

Lisa Caputo> Thank you for putting that on the record. "They are BOTH going negative." Finally someone on a panel says it.

I answer a question given by one of the other bloggers and I'm sure my comment was offensive. Thanks.

Genevieve, while I never want to run for office, I'd love to see a pic of that bumper sticker on your car – as would my Mom

Why wouldn't Senator Obama have to outspend Senator Clinton by 2 to 1? No one before has ever run against someone who has spent 8 years in the White House. The term "name recognition" doesn't begin to explain hurdle of overcoming "Clinton."

Ya know, the studio and the lighting and the long curved desk make the place look like a patriotic themed club at first glance. With the coolest people, of course!

Hillary will win tomorrow because of her clear message of confidence, love to the country, and hope! Hope that we can truly unite for a common good of our people, our country, and our planet.
I think she can win big – about 18 points.

Hllary 08!

Hi Megan, yeah, too bad they took away the waa waa in Beat 360...

I give Hillary credit...she doesn't give up easily...very persevering!

Erica, so ESB it is! LOL

Very funny Tracy- Boston

If Obama does win big tomorrow , does that end Hillary's campaign?

@ John King,
I am doing great! Thanks!

We hear so much about the polls, but who are they polling and how are they getting such identifying info on the poll participants? I sometimes vote in little opinions on the internet, but I'm just curious. I'm one of those older white women and I'm sure not voting for Hillary. Who are they asking? And how much is asked in exit polls. How can we go by the polls (which obviously we can't) if you're not polling everyone?

"Debates are not his thing." Makes me wonder if he'll be lousy at debate when it comes to foriegn policy with less than friendly opponents?

I grew up in Cleveland, lived in Wilmington Del. for a while and have close friends from Pittsburgh.....I would strongly predict that the only area Obama will pull from is the Southeastern part of PA. I believe Obama's "bitter" statements and his numerous, "well, what I meant to say's" will cost him with the voters. I would also point out that in this region of the country the college educated people are making about the same as their blue collar counter parts so the educational divide I believe holds less of a factor than you may think in this State.

Erica Hill> "Brain"? I'll take it! lol

Hi my name is chris I am a 29 year old college student from Scranton P.A. and I am going to vote for Hillary for the reasons that she has more and better ideas for college students and our troops in Iraq those are just a few topics why i am going to vote for Hillary I also feel she will win with double digits

I think Hillary will win the state by 15-18 points. I think the undecided vote is crucial and will be in favor of Clinton. I also believe that the pope with his comments about God Bless America will also have a big impact on Catholics who are already voting in favor of Clinton, She may have a big win...

why when hillary wins it is name recongnition
but the defence is her name is dirt and she cant win
doesnt make sense

Instead of "Smart Board", how about "Brain Board", you can call it BB for short....I see John's on the board via the webcam....Yee Haw!

Ok, can't wait to see this unmarried woman voter report.

I'm not voting for Hillary Bush

Chuck, uh the demographics are projected by the media, what does that have to do with the "uniter"?

I could see it now, Cooper and Hill rejiggering and Basa Nova-ing it up in the White House. LOL!!

Sara, people will definitely be paying attention to your vote and to Indiana's.

My in-laws were in town this wkd - they live in IN - and said it's exciting to have their primary matter, noting it's the first time in a long time they've seen this kind of attention.

Brain Persaud-I love your alliteration for John King's Portal to Primary Predictions and Polls! How about P4 Board? Or P to the 4th Power? Maybe not...might be misunderstood!

Brian Persaud: Funny thing is that each side tries to justify their own negativity when in reality they have both been playing the same nasty game.

I personally like "Cooper-Hill 08!" If they were the ticket, they would win for sure! By a landslide!

Anderson,

Hi! Happy Monday.
It seems the candidates must have reached every person in the state of Pennsylvania by now, as the campaign has gone on so long. It's still exciting, however–I'm looking forward to tomorrow night.

Erica, I will have to have one custom made, unless another viewer knows where I can purchase one already made

Yes. Indiana is excited about our primary... can't wait!

John, the way that Hillary and Obama split the vote is there even a real point to the popular vote anymore? Btw love the board we've missed it the past month or so.

Chanda. If he had united all those different demographics months ago, he's already be the nominee. He hasn't, so, he isn't.

Tally – Great point! Barack is not only going up against Hillary but is also having to fight the family name and an ex-president. Outspending her is the only way to counter some built-in roadblocks that he has to overcome as he can not be everywhere that Bill and Hillary are at the same time.

every other day there is a new group of people that will make or break (oh man it is hard Anderson) this election.

White males, single woman......what's next???

Erica~
You comment more than Anderson. Is he busier than you or do you just like us more?

Hill-Cooper '08, now that's a woman i would be proud to vote for!

Lilibeth,
I know what you mean, I agree with you, I did already vote Hillary Clinton.

Erica & Anderson: Genevieve is a genius! I'm going to write u both in on my ballot. Who wants to be the Pres. though? Can't afford to get this one wrong.

Here we go again. Labeling voters into categories.

I haven't heard what xtina was wondering, but now that they brought it up, i am wondering the same thing. I don't think that Hillary will give up on being president easily, but I guess anything is possible in politics (and also unpredictable).

Obama doesn't want to debate character. He also doesn't appear to want to listen to others' sides . People who don't like to debate are demogogic.

I'm a single woman in debt too!!

Massive student loans! I have zero income and zero health insurance. They should've interviewed me.

The Brain Board, eh? It's catchy... now if only the board could see into voter's brains, then we'd *really* be onto something!

Thank Jacqueline,

LMAO

Coop and Hill – Rejiggering and Aasa Nova-ing....funny

You guys should hold a name the board contest.

Well, I'm sure more young women are interested in voting because for once there's a woman to vote for! A woman understands women's issues like no man could ever understand them.

Tally, absolutely right. Hillary had a 20 point lead three weeks ago. She's in debt, has a former husband who's out there, and Obama is spreading a message and his bio in an atmosphere where he is the new guy......this is not an heir to the throne thing.....Clinton's aren't the one's who'll get it done, it's the people of America who really are ready for truth and reality and fairness. I'm a white, 60 year old white, professional female, have been through Vietnam, a culture revolution, republican dismantling the middle-class and the lies that brought us to a war. It's a really desperate time.......and yeah, the tie is great.

Won't everyone be glad when the dems quit fighting and select a candidate?
Geez~

I prefer Hill-Cooper 08 myself!!!!

Genevieve, dont spend your money on that! Maybe just photoshop it in

Chanda – 100% absolutely totally agree. Now Ms. Hill is certainly a woman I could be proud to stand behind.....Come run in Canada Erica, I will write you in HAHA

I'm calling a suprise Obama win tomorrow. The momemtum is on his side!

I like Hill-Cooper 08!!!!! Since we hear from Erica more.. we've gotta put her name first haha

Hey I'd vote for Cooper~Hill or maybe Hill~Cooper, either way would be a good deal for all of us!

Maybe Erica & Anderson can somehow rejigger the gas prices and get the average down to 99 cents a gallon.

One thing is for certain. Americans are learning more about the election process and that can only be a good thing.

Why is the question alway "Why can't Obama get the white blue collar workers vote? (Regan Democrats are Republican since they have voted Republican for 20 plus years). The question should be why can't Clinton win the Black vote ( Blacks vote traditionally democratic) Are Blacks not important to primary and/or general election?

ERICA....will there be live blogging tomorrow?????

@Kim, thanks.

Chuck in Alabama: If debates are not his "thing" then he is in the wrong business. I agree, how wil he react in a less than friendly environment?

hey erica hear is another....might be long.....i call it B.O.P.S. Board Of Political Smartness...???????

Erica, How about John Kings big board being called ..The read it and weep looking glass.

John King and the smart board rules!!!!!

@ Betty Ann,

But then what would we talk about?

I think Anderson just said the perfect name for that map...Magic Map! How about that for the name?

I'm with you Millie, GOBAMA!

EJ,
I am also single woman in debit......

You guys are on fire tonight!

On a night like tonight, AC is moving around the studio so much that he doesnt have much of a chance to blog, but dont take it personally. He's here with you in spirit!

As for running in Canada, my grandfather was from Toronto, maybe that's my "in" (j/k)

The webcam would be awesome tomorrow night, too.

I find it so funny that, in the breaks, Anderson is not preparing what's next (like "what will I ask my guests"), but just writes with us. Isn't that nice? Anderson, how do you know the texts and the questions after the breaks, when you are always looking in the laptop in the breaks?=).- However, great work, this multi-double-tasking;).

Obama has won 30 states, Hillary has won 16. The math is clear to me.

Scranton P.A. is Hillary town

Hillary has Pennsylvania by a mile, just you wait. . .

EJ, if I had that kind of power with gas prices, I'd be one happy lady! If only...

Wow only 10 minutes left...I've been so absorbed in the blog, I've just been listening.

Erica.....your grandfather was from Toronto....AWESOME.

You are here by an honourary Torontoian

look at the popular vote..

OBAMA SAYING HE's not into debates? If you're strong in your beliefs, you shouldn't fear debates, you should welcome them.

Erica,

You are too sweet! Love Cooper but every time I see him he is sitting down promising a blog that is why it is Hill-Cooper for me!

Thanks, Megan O.
It's a city that's been on my list of places to visit for some time... one of these days I'll get there!

Yvonne~
The math is never clear in politics. It is all about delegates and superdelegates. No, there is no clear winner yet.
All states are not equal~

You could call it "The Best Political Board on TV"? I know, so original...hehe BTW, what ever happened to the Anderson's Pizza Pie Chart? Did it get scrapped like the wah wah wah? I thought it was cool!

Erica, you've never been?

Hat off to Senator Clinton. What the media and the pundits fail to mention is that in most of these contests, Senator Omaba goes in with 5-10% points advantaged based on the voting demographics of the eligible African American voters. The fear is that no one wants to be tagged for metioning what is really the story in this saga. Another pledge taken by Senator Obama is never to been seen on the same stage with the Rev jackson and Al sharpton. (one reason why he did not attend the forum hosted by Tavis Smiley). His fear was that Jesse and Al Sharpton will also be attending. H e was not in Mephis for the King Memoral for fear of running into Jesse. I'm not sure if he attended funeral service of judge Pincham.

Hillary has proven that she is for the People of the United States. She has worked hard for health care for all. She has what it takes to be the best President. I was a single mother working a full time job in the 90"s and had insurance but I still made it without getting any government help. I worked and it didn't hurt!!!!!!!

Erica?
Can we will join live blog tomorrow? I agree with Megan O.

Yes Jay, they are really called "Pittsburgers"! Our college campus was half Philly and half Pittsburgers. We had fun teasing each other.

Okay – final tally for the night! Closed at 10:51 pm est.

Pro Clinton Comments 35

Pro Obama Comments 22

Pro AC's tie comments about 55

Our write in candiates Cooper/Hill or Hill/Cooper: 8

Good night Anderson and all. Can't wait to see how you spin things tomorrow night.

Erica you must come to Toronto. It is absolutly amazing. Very much like New York. Very multicultural and so much to do. I can give you some ideas

If your grandfather was Canadian.....did you mom or dad have duel citizenship????

Erica, I would be proud & happy to welcome you to Canada, do you ever visit?

i cant take sides – but if it is hill-cooper 08, you can bet i am asking for ambassador to a warm island, white sand beaches .... sailboats. we can float in the magic wall .....!

"On a night like tonight, AC is moving around the studio so much that he doesnt have much of a chance to blog, but dont take it personally. He’s here with you in spirit!"

Ha! We feel his spirit. He's in all of us!

Tell Anderson we all said hello – and of course we love his tie.

I'm not sure what the blogging plans are for tomorrow... be sure to check for the link on the page, though.

I'll be glad when tomorrow is over. May the best man or woman win.

Wow. I think that's the first time I have read the blog and not put one comment down. I was too busy reading all the ideas for the "magic board". Great blog, lots of fun.
Erica-glad to know one of you likes us and blogs. I love your daily posts and the comments on the live blog. Adds a good bit of relief to the news.
Have a good night everyone!

Nighty-nite ALL!

Anderson & Erica......Let the spin begin....get some rest, busy day tomorrow for you both.

Thanks for the fun Anderson and Erica!
Anderson needs to blog more.;-(
Just kidding Anderson, I know you're kinda busy.

Megan D. – I hear ya! Maybe it will be better for us in 10 years. Have debt-free dreams!

Night bloggers! Tons of fun, as always! Great job Erica/AC as always

Good night everyone! Great to be with you all
I can't wait for tomorrow night. I'll go back to sleep for an hour and then I'll be driving all my German co-workers crazy with primary predictions and story tidbits from the campaigns...

Man, this hour goes by quickly.

Lots of funny stuff tonight, and serious... Well, tomorrow will be interesting.

Lesli,

Who is winning Hill-Cooper or Cooper-Hill? Go Hill-Cooper!!

Tomorrow will be exciting for sure. Goodnight Erica, Anderson, John King, & everyone.

Good night Anderson and everyone!

wow, tonight was more interesting than usual!
good night everyone!

pssssstt..... magic touch-screen!!!!!! yes.

hi kim .. well i cant give you a precise answer without knowing the turnout .. (and if i had that power .......) but if clinton carries the blue collar belts in the east and west by 10-12 points, he would (because of population) need to run up a huge margin in the center city and then carry the suburban collar as well. the percentages are impossible to know unless you know turnnout statewide, as well as the african american turnout in philly.

Well all looking forward to tomorrow. It will be exciting no matter what happens......Go OBAMA!!!!!!! (Had to add that)

Get some rest tonight Anderson, Erica and best political team in television, tomorrow is going to be a long night

Have a good night, Anderson, Erica, and all!

Good night Anderson and Erica. Great show!!!
See ya tomorrow.

Usually there is no live blogging on election nights....that would be hard on the moderators I would guess. But a great treat if we could!

Well, it was fun blogging tonight.

Nite all!

Thanks for blogging with us Erica!

OBAMA is my man for President.

Lesli...thanks for crunching the numbers for us! LOL! We all need to work on that Cooper/Hill or Hill/Cooper....... Come on all, cast your votes for C/H...or H/C!

I'm not sure if I'll be blogging in the next few days here...but I'll try...

Good night, everyone!

Wow! that is so huge fish! cool!
Good night Anderson, John, Erica and Bloggers!
See you tomorrow night!

wow spinning desk looks like loads of fun

Thanks Erica, and goodnight everyone. AC, Erica and King great show today!

Great show! Too bad Andy didn't get to blog more! Good night folks!
