Obama Dominates North Carolina; Hillary Barely Survives Indiana

115 delegates were at stake in North Carolina and 72 in Indiana.

Barack Obama
Barack Obama supporters are all smiles today after he scored a win in North Carolina, and almost pulled the upset in Indiana.

(INDIANAPOLIS ) - Barack Obama scored a blow-out win in North Carolina while Hillary Clinton clung to a narrow victory in Indiana last night - delivering a huge blow to Clinton's White House hopes and intensifying a mad-dash for undecided superdelegates.

Obama cruised to a 58 percent to 42 percent win last night in North Carolina, due to the 91 percent support among blacks. In Indiana, Clinton barely survived Obama, 51 percent to 49 percent, but she vowed to press on in her quest for the nomination. Clinton trails Obama 1,815 to 1,672 in total delegates, according to The Associated Press.

CNN reported this morning that a campaign aide to Hillary Clinton said that Clinton loaned herself $6.4 million in the past month to keep her campaign going.

Democratic primary voters go to the polls next Tuesday in West Virginia. Then Kentucky and Oregon vote on May 20, Puerto Rico on June 1, and in Montana and South Dakota on June 3.

I think it would be great to see some people with fresh ideas come into our national government, but the candidates I see this cycle are just your typical politicians. Some make excellent speeches, even inspire, but talk is not going to solve our current problems nor the new ones that will develop. I would imagine that during the general, if not before, someone will ask the candidates something along these lines: Would you support federally subsidized healthcare coverage for those here illegally? If they answer yes, then they have to tell us how they will fund it and of course why. Would the illegals have healthcare parity with citizens? You know people, this will be asked and it needs a firm and reasonable response. There are also many national defense and treaty questions that also will need direct and focused responses.

Be not afraid. Common sense will prevail, regardless of how creative Hamilton and others are with their extremely off-base opinions. How about reinforcing the positive? I know that's new, but it actually works. It's time we empower people in this country to feel GOOD about the decisions they make. People that know what they're doing will vote for either Obama or Hillary. You can't demonize them to the point of looking worse than a republican at this point anyhow, no matter how many bs stories are conjured up. Yes, character is indeed the defining factor. And it will be the Democrats that will save the day. For many, that'll be a tough one to swallow, won't it?

Both Obama and Hillary Presented their Application for Employment. Obama Application includes both "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope". Hillary Application is "A Woman in Charge". Obama Books are "WRITTEN LIES" especially " Dreams from My Father". Hillary Book doesnot contains written lies. Any person with any Legal background knows that you donot LIE IN WRITING! Lieing or falsifying documets, for Government Employmnt, is Prohibited.

Obama should make thoughtful and informed people think about criminals like Marion Berry, O.J. Simpson, impeached judge Hastings and so many others like these individuals. He can not win enough of the white vote to win the battleground states, and he will lose Pennsylvania and most likely Michigan. Most of the states he has won will be won by the republicans anyway (just look at the numbers!, especially North Carolina), so when you break down the internal demographics he simply cannot win. Also more information regarding his "real" character will be coming out (it will be devastating!), and these will be facts that are easily verified. So those who say it's some made-up material, and that it's people playing the race card will not resonate for very long. People are forming their opinions now, and the so-called Reagan Democrats (those "clingers of faith and guns", plus those who want our immigration laws enforced!) will never vote for Obama, so this demographic by itself will doom Obama. Thus, the democratic leadership knows that they cannot win the Whitehouse, but if they throw Obama under the bus they fear the end result would be to destroy the democratic party. I say good, then they can terminate the far left's stranglehold and rebuild for say around 2032, and maybe they can get a winner by then. Let's all pray that these morons do the right thing, okay! Obama's character is the main issue folks, not his race. Just think and be rational.
