What amazes me is that the matter of race is not discussed. Is it not possible that THAT is the matter at hand, the factor that the blue collar folks could not, and would not admit.

Also if the media had done its job and vetted Obama from the beginning then people would know him better. I have learned more about Obama on the internet in the last 3 months and I don't like what I see. I would support Hillary (if I could vote). Here in Canada 3 out 4 people prefer democrats( in case your interested) Why do people keep saying for her to drop out, you don't quit a race in the middle of it. Let people vote and count FL/MI. I truly believe that the media networks like to spin all this and add fuel to the fire to keep everyone begging for more. But with the internet, we can go anywhere and do our own research. Obama doesn't like to answer questions about his past/associates so how else can we learn about him, but go surfing. Congratulations to Hillary and I HOPE she goes ALL THE WAY!! P.S. CNN please get ride of Jamal he does not make any sense. @joanne and Karen, I totally agree with you.

I consistently hear him say "I have a plan" yet rarely hear the plan. What I do hear about Obama is his 'gaffs' . Hence the reason people search for the info about them. Makes perfectly logical sense to me. If Obama supporters spent more time and energy to put his plans and ideas on issues out there they would see better hits. They need to move beyond just the idea of change if they want to win a general election. What are they going to change? I think the old adage about "the devil you know" is holding true for Obama particularly in blue collar workers. Yes they want change but they want to know exactly what the change is. Change is not a new concept in politics. Rallys that raise people up and get them excited only last so long, real life intrudes fast. I think the superdelegates need to decide whether they truly want a democrat to win in November or if they want to simply go with the guy they like. This blue collar 'Reagan Democrat' is more of a risk than Obama supporters want to admit. Republicans are much more likely to sway this type of voter than the ones Obama has for a base. It's the reason they got the nickname! The new voters that Obama keeps pulling in are great but how many of them will still be excited in November? For how many will they simple be too busy to vote? How many of them will simply stay home if Obama is not the candidate versus showing up to vote for McCain? These are the serious questions. The popular vote is close, delegates are close, Hillary leads in Superdelegates. As for the Yahoo news results; Obama has been campaigning for over a year and the main thing people ask about are his 'gaffs'. Whose fault is it really? Blame the media all you want but if Obama's plans and messages were really out for the American people after over a year of campaigning the American people would know it.

This evening I saw my first campaign ad sponsored by the Obama camp. I couldn't believe the negativity. This is all so sad. I am a Clinton supporter but it comes down to this: Hillary can't be as hated as CNN would have us believe or she wouldn't be getting the votes. It is obvious to anyone with a brain that CNN (with the exception of Lou Dobbs) is campaigning for Obama. Obama isn't perfect but I believe he is trying to do the right thing. He has made some major mistakes but for some reason CNN gives hime a pass on any faux pas. Good grief--give the woman her due. She did win Pennsylvania. Let her at least have 24 hours to enjoy it before you start with the criticism. But, the primary wasn't even over before the the panelists were laying out why she can never win. Nice going. Do you truly believe we're so ignorant we can't see the bias? I think the bloggers would do well to remember that each of us has an opinion and attacking others for their viewpoint shows your limited understanding of the issues. I live in Indiana.

I think he can reach across the diffence and bridge an agreement of what is best for America. I am of a time when the excuss was a "right wing conspiracy" and now the "media is tough on my poor wife". Think of all those entitlements yet released or all that money going to the "library".

If the media had done its job in the first place and given the voters all of the information on Obama instead of allowing him to hide his negatives, maybe the voters would not have been forced to “follow the rumor mill” and scramble around to find out what else they haven’t been telling them. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, I believe that many of the Reagan Democrats, the Independents, and the voters who voted for him in the primaries before all of this negative information came out, will hold it against him and the media and they will vote for McCain in November.
