Clinton wins Kentucky; Obama claims milestone

Yes, as expected her %age will get higher. At 29% of the vote in it's now 40% vs. 57%.

it's way too early..37% accounted for

JUST ONCE I would like to see everyone who takes part in those exit polls LIE THEIR BUTTS OFF so they can hose the numbers and we can stop having these MSMs declare the election before a single ballot is counted.

its not like it matters what she wins she's not getting the nomination unless he dies or something (highly unlikely)

Clinton will win Kentucky and Oregon will go to Obama. Both candidates are great. I voted for Hillary, but I'm voting for whoever gets the nomination in november-- I'm proud to be a democrat!

(kinda cheezy, but media likes to divide us!)

Big surprise!!! 91% of the people who voted are white. I wonder who they voted for?

SWISH....... WELL DONE SENATOR CLINTON!

Kentucky just happens to be a Republican stronghold, but has a lot of Wise Democrats in the more rural areas...still, it sounds like some entity is fudging with the figures, just like they did in Ohio last time around...

I wonder who that 'entity' could be..? They must've moved across the river...

Who could have guessed?

can we get some juicy clips of redneck Kentucky racists saying "ah've had enuff of hoosein" - I want redneck clips!

yeeeeeah shes still not going to win so.......

no stephen, no redneck clips

keeshii, ssshhiii

Hillary wins in another blowout. I wonder how the media will spin it to where she needs to drop out this week?

Hillary wins a state she was predicted to win - the world still begs for her to give up.

I guess if Obama had campaigned in eastern KY, the people there would have died from shock anyway...

fauxsherrr,
that clip just made me feel sorry for them.

I want to ridicule rednecks, not feel sorry for them!

no really, that felt like another world. poor bastards dont seem very hopeful, and I guess if I were in their shoes I wouldn't either.

Obama is picked to win Oregon by a wide margin. Huge, Ginormus, exponentially big. I love it. (yea I very bias towards that guy).

She won 3 to 1 in Kentucky. He won't win bigger than that.

all the nytimes graphics prove that when the percentage of college graduates go up, votes for obama go up...hmmm wonder why?

Hillary needs to plan an exit strategy...!!!!!!

Let's see, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, West Virginia, and now Kentucky, but she's the one that needs to drop out. Hillary wins again, Obama supporters claim victory again, what else is new.

JohnA, your comments certainly aren't new, either. You're a bit passionate with your hate towards Obama.

she obviously will not win, Kentucky or not. I love how she wins in areas that are less educated, EVERY TIME...I wonder if she really is a robot, a robot loved by rednecks. Similar to a T-1000 who stole the heart of Bill Clinton...hmmm something is wrong with that woman me thinks...

have you been following the delegate count John A?

She wins in areas that are less educated. California, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, they are all uneducated rednecks, give me a break.

It's like Saturday Night live "My supporters are racist, I'm not bragging, but you know".

I HOPE CLILARY WINS

I HOPE BOBAMA WINS

I HOPE TAYLOR A. WHO IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME WINS.

Hillary Clinton won Kentucky with 65% of the vote.
Obama could only get 30%. He couldn't even sway the other 5%.

Hillary Clinton is the stronger candidate for the general election in November.

Hillary Clinton has won the states the Dems need to win in November - California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire and Ohio.

Nevertheless, the Dems are divided about 50-50 since the advent of the "uniter" Obama.

Like the undisciplined choices of democrat presidential nominees of past debacles since Humphrey/Nixon in 1968, the Democratic Party is poised yet again to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by nominating the wrong candidate.

McGovern, Carter 1980, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry were all losers in past presidential contests. Keep that in mind when they endorse Barack Obama.

Bill Clinton is the only Democratic presidential candidate who won and won re-election, and brought positive change for 8 years of relative peace, prosperity, alleviation of poverty and fiscal responsibility.

I love that all the racists and bigots are showing themselves on the national stage. I absolutely love this. I love that people are seeing just how much negativity there is towards someone who is not a white male. We all need to see how deep this problem runs in our country and get on the same page about how much it plagues all of us on a daily basis. Then, hopefully, we can all move forward and eradicate it...

I have never in my life been called a racist until this election cycle. Now it seems I'm called that on a daily basis. Anyone that says the race card isn't being played by Obama supporters is full of shit and I'm telling them so.

For the sake of clarification, JohnA, that statement was not directed at you. It's an election cycle man, don't be so delicate. But what I said is true. This election is revealing the racist under belly of America. I'm really surprised that it's not getting more attention to be honest. As far as the antiquated idea of playing the race card, sorry dude, but that's just bullshit. Being Black in this country does not give you any advantages, unless you consider a higher probability of getting arrested than any other social group an advantage...

It is a mistake to think voters whatever their race who oppose Senator Obama's presidential nomination are racist.
Just more bigotry from the Obama side.
Most serious voters who won't vote for Senator Obama base their decision on his inexperience, track record of lying about crucial issues like protecting Americans from radiation leaks by the nuclear power industry, and his lack of proven commitment to communities living in poverty and just above the poverty level.

I stand with Navajo President Joe Shirley, Jr. and former Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller and other Indian leaders who support HIllary Clinton, not because of race or sex, but because she has proven over 35 years that she is a public servant and leader who brings real positive change to communities living in poverty and people of color across America.

How many of the Obama supporters who hurl blanket accusations of racism at anyone who doesn't deify their candidate, actually have any real life friends who are Black or People of Color?

As I've proven my entire life, I will vote for the candidate I feel would be the best for Americans, whatever their race, ethnicity, religion or sex. Obama can't get my vote because his vague vision of change without details and definition and experience to back it up, is just more talk without action. Against an experienced dedicated public servant with concrete plans, proposals and alliances already set in place to begin work, my vote goes to Hillary Clinton/John Lewis.
Those young voters newly energized by this exciting democratic primary races can go along with the Dem Party Bigwigs and vote for the shiny new David Axelrod produced candidate with no resume, but I've seen the Dems snatch defeat when we should have won too many times, and this time, I'm writing in my candidates Hillary Clinton/John Lewis.
No amount of name-calling and bullying, the tools of choice of Obama supporters, will change this old crone's mind. They'll call me old, as if it were an insult, but in my culture, age, and the wisdom it brings rooted in experience, is respected and honored. So let the name-calling continue. It just shows how the Obama campaign and supporters exemplify "taking the high road,"

Prejudice is still huge. Whether it's racism or sexism. And I believe with the way US citizens are now and how politics is not a huge topic of choice as oppose to what happens on the Hills or American Idol, choosing a candidate just because of the color of their skin or their gender seems convenient. Hmmm, I don't even know what he' or she is talking 'bout but he's black or she's a woman so I am going to vote or not vote for the latter or the former.

There is a difference between being blind and ignorant.

So next time someone asks why are you supporting Clinton, Mccain, Obama, Ron Paul etc...answer with the policies you agree with, b/c that is what it's truly about.

Nice words, Touch, but it's a fact that people are voting because they are 'scared' of someone of another race. We can preach kumbaya and peace and equality all we want, but the truth remains Obama will lose votes because he is a brother. Period. I respect your stance because it seems well thought out, so I got no beef with your stance, but it is really bothering me that no one wants to give credence to the racism that is going to affect our election. Of course your are going to have your name calling and bullying and all that, but unfortunately that is modern politics. You can't claim that without applying it to everyone. However, it is wishful thinking if you think most voters are like you. The last 8 years are proof that people use facts as the last factor when deciding upon a leader. Lets deal with the reality of what America is, as opposed to simply dismissing an issue that has been the elephant in the room for centuries as a campaign tactic. Let's step this up...

Racism and sexism are serious challenges in America and worldwide.
It is crucial to act to eliminate all forms of bigotry.
In this, as in most things, actions speak louder than words.
That's why it is important to embody Dr. King's vision of a world where all are "judged by the content of their character."
That means every candidate is judged on their words and actions.

I hope for the day that Dr. King's words will become truth. There are still places in America where people can be judged by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character. And those Americans will vote based on the color of a canidates' skin before choosing by anything else.

I hoped that with future generations this problem would disappear by itself, but nowadays I'm not so sure. We should be ashamed to have racism play even a small part in modern politics so long after its' demise. As long as these regions still foster that hate and teach it to impressionable young minds, there will be racism in America.

Hypothetically speaking, if Obama wins the national election and makes good on his Change campaign it's possible that he can reshape their opinion of black people.

I respect people to have a difference of opinion, and they have a right to disagree with what I say. What I don't respect is people who use race to disqualify someone from a profession, or implying race as a gimmick, handicap, or advantage. I don't consider being black a disadvantage or an advantage. My race isn't something I need to overcome, it is who I am. I don't let other people's negative perceptions of race get to me, because often times they do it to just get a rise out of someone.
