- rz8472, on 02/13/2008, -1/+12Current exit polling has him on track for a 62-38 win. Which also means that Obama basically will win DC and Maryland handily since Virginia was the only state where Clinton was considered to have a chance at all.
Also Clinton seems to be losing ground in Wisconsin; a new poll out has her losing 50-39 in that state. But lets campaign like Barack is 30% behind; can't afford to be complacent now.
Obama 2008!- lassintucson, on 02/13/2008, -4/+1We have some real problems in this Country. Ignorance. Instead of really looking at the issues, we have this OBAMA supporter acting as a bigot. For the truth of the matter, Hillary Clinton worked in the Carter Administration and got health-care for children. That is a fact, and today we have the S Chip for children that the republicans wont fund properly. She also worked on getting women into business, and provided grants for small businesses. She wants to fund student loans by $10,000 and a relief of debt if the person works in public service for a time period. Obama wants to give $4,000 and no relief of debt. Educated, it is just the branding of the media not to truly tell the differences in what these people stand for. As far as Obama for cleaning up our pollution mess, he rolled over in Illinois so a nuclear plant did not have to give any notification of nuclear leaks. We are going to end up with another Bush due to uneducated people not searching for the facts. I will not vote for Obama, I will vote for McCain he will clean up the environment if he does not flip flop. And, sorry for all the kids that will have to fight the 100 year war. Their ignorance really mattered!
- Eiknujrac, on 02/13/2008, -1/+2We have a real problem in this country. People like you. I just checked your profile, and you have copy-pasted this exact paragraph in every Obama topic for the last month. It's probably not even your words to begin with. However, I couldn't care less. If you want to spin the facts to suit your case just like every other Billary supporter out there, that's fine, and we will continue to ignore you. I know it's hard seeing your candidate lose over and over again, but most people tend to have the dignity to accept loss, instead of clawing at the hope that people will believe them if they spew lies. Thank you for supporting my belief that some Hillary supporters are idiots. Move along.

- deformation, on 02/13/2008, -1/+12now this will erase Clinton's delegate lead :)
congratulations to the American people.- rz8472, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3She never had a real lead, not after her wins in New Hampshire and Ohio, nor after Super Tuesday; she only had an advantage in superdelegates, who can basically change their mind at any moment and endorse someone else.

- diggB, on 02/13/2008, -1/+9This is the first presidential election year that I can remember in which I've totally psyched to be voting FOR someone instead of AGAINST someone. He inspires like no other candidate. He once said (and I'm paraphrasing) that the day he'll be inaugurated, this country will look at itself differently. I'm looking forward to that day. Go Obama!

- garryw, on 02/13/2008, -3/+3Good, he can beat McCain so we get Romney in 2012. Go-Bama!
- digitronix, on 02/13/2008, -7/+0Another Obama victory. More evidence that Americans are complete idiots when it comes to politics.
- RoroCo, on 02/13/2008, -0/+4Where are you from? I would like to build some irrelevant stereotypes about a country based on one idiot.
- Eiknujrac, on 02/13/2008, -0/+3BREAKING NEWS: Another anti-Obama digg user expresses his misguided opinion that he is smarter than everyone else.
Stay Tuned. Coming Up: America doesn't care, and continues to vote for Obama.

- mochaman, on 02/13/2008, -1/+2This trend has to continue for Obama if he is to win the nomination the last thing we need is for creepy superdelegates to decide who is going to be on the ticket.
- gpl100, on 02/13/2008, -2/+0♠ You think the media will catch on that its more then just luck? ♠
