Anderson,

I came to this country 11 years ago. One thing I still could not figure out is that in America, it is not a race issue when 90% of Africa Americans voted for Barack Obama but it is a race issue when 60% of white voted for Hillary Clinton. Why?

Anderson, have you ever read the blogs on Obama's website? They are so nasty and say a lot of terrible things about Hillary Clinton. They even talk badly about older people because they vote for Hillary, especially older women. I wonder if he knows how nasty his supporters are even though he tries to have a positive campaign. Please check out the blogs on his website and see for yourself.

Half-eaten waffle, EJ? Egad! Am I ever out of the loop here. What's been going on at eBay? I'd rather bid on an evening of conversation with AC than a half-eaten waffle. Holy Hotcakes! (and I'm talking about the food)

I love the video of the trampoline bear. Also, I liked the staff caption better than the viewer's caption

The negative television ads In PA.
Newscasters have commented that Hillary ran negative ads, but her ads were only counterattacks to Obama's negative ads. Obama ran TV ads that diminished Hillary, Then, I would hope that a Hillary would run an ad defending herself and one appeared. .
We were always barraged with Obama ads. He spent $400,000 ads every day. His ads came on the television every fifteen minutes. During the last two weeks, his ads showed him verbally attacking John McKean, as though he had already won the Democratic nomination and had moved on to the general election.
Maybe he couldn't "close the deal" in Pennsylvania not because he's an "elitist," but because people recognized an ego.

I agree with you Chuck. I think if you are going to run for office of the President then you decide to quit your job as Senator or Rep or Governor. Just my 2 cents.

@ CNN Shot Person: I thought for sure you would have the FL photo of the woman who had a gator in her kitchen a few days ago.

bryce k dixon,

You are 100% correct on the race issue but I am white and even I have to take into account why most blacks are voting for Obama. If the country has a particular type of president every term and the candidates who are running represent that same type of president except for one; wouldn't you vote for change if is was leading in the right direction? He can't do any worse. By the way nobody voted for Jackson black or white.

Who are these people who are saying Hillary and Obama are tearing the democratic party apart? Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are NOT tearing the democratic party apart. This race is unprecedented! It's exciting! At my county's democratic convention, the atmosphere was electric. Obama's supporters were chanting and holding up signs. When they fell silent, Hillary's supporters did the same. We had almost three times as many delegates at our convention than ever before. I spoke to strangers who shared my political views, and also spoke to several who switched from republican to democrat for the first time in their lives because of Hillary and Barack's race. Democrats are loving this! Who knew presidential elections could be so exciting! Anderson, keep up the good work covering this election! (I don't have cable anymore, but listen to your show every night on CNN.com!)

Man! I'm sure glad I don't live in Pennsylvania. Based on the democratic primary yesterday is is very clear that much of the state is racist... I wish the old people of that state would have voted for the candidate of the future, Barack Obama rather than the candidate of the past.
