Hillary Remains The Frontrunner
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton > John McCain
While it was an easy win for John McCain in the Republican presidential primaries, the Democratic race was neck and neck.
However, Hillary Clinton took home more delegates on Super Tuesday and she goes in to the upcoming primaries with the advantage.
Should be an interesting and heated race to the finish!

Perez, learn the facts. She is not the "front runner" by a long shot. We have a long way to go….
Barack actually won more states last night…
YOU are midleading. McCain might be a front runner, but Obama and CLinton ars neck an neck. tuis is mis-use of your media power. pansy. hillary was pro surge, pro war. you are weak in supporting her
I HAVE A CRUSH ON OBAMA!! I HAVE A CRUSH ON OBAMA!!

Hey FOOL.
Hillary has more delegates because she has more superdelegates. BARACK won more pledged delegates yesterday, which means that the PEOPLE voted for BARACK.
STOP TALKING ABOUT POLITICS. YOU DON'T DO YOUR RESEARCH. YOU ARE MISINFORMING PEOPLE.
Perez, why don't you SLOW down and wait until all the results are in. All of the delegates are far from being counted….. It will be a virtual tie - not NEARLY what I would call a WIN for Hillary.
OBAMA 08!!!
NOT THE FRONT RUNNER… ESSENTIALLY, NEARLY TIED. OBAMA HAD THE MOST VOTES IN MORE COUNTRIES… CLINTON GOT LUCKY, GETTING THE LARGER STATES WITH MORE DELEGATES… BIG DIFFERENCE, MORE REAL PEOPLE VOTES VERSUS DELEGATE VOTES!!
OBAMA IS THE REAL PEOPLES CHOICE!!
you know, I have been a faithful (if logging on ten times a day could be called "faithful" and not obsessive) reader of perezhilton.com for a long time but I come here for entertainment news NOT political news.
but even that would be fine if he would give ALL the correct facts. which he doesn't. I understand wanting to express your opinion and backing a candidate. we all do it. but when you have a large readership who comes here for one sort of information and finds themselves bombarded by other shit that we didn't ask for or agree with, you should know that you're going to alienate and, in the end, lose alot of readers.
including me. if the onesided information and propaganda giving doesn't stop soon, I'll be turning off of perezhilton for good.
go hillary!!!!!!!!!!!
marie - perez won't "slow down until all the information is in" because then he wouldn't be able to give misinformation and beat the drum for his candidate nearly so effectively.
we all should know that this is not a place for unbiased information and take whatever perez says with a grain of salt. especially with regards to politics.
who cares if obama won more states… how many people were in them..
hillary is a cunt
Wishing Perez would stop his illiterate political updates. Stick with innane gossip and leave the big thinking to the real press, Perez.
Perez, you're great with celebrity smut, but your grip on political facts is weak. Hillary is not the front-runner; there IS no front-runner. Obama took nearly twice as many states as she did, and with respect to delegates, they're neck-and-neck. Plus, I literally laughed out loud when I saw your post about "endorsing" Clinton. I don't necessarily argue with your personal choice, but can you really be laboring under the delusion that you're the internet Oprah?
Re: loan – talking about something you clearly know nothing about just makes you look stupid.
just a tip.
100% with you neely. perez couldn't fill oprah's bra.
actually, I've seen those man boobs. maybe he could.
lol…poor Oprah… made that trip all the way out to calif…hopeing to trick people into voting for that big muslim loser obama… lol.. well never worked for oprah..people are sick of oprah.. i bet after loser obama lost cali last night she hate herself to death, gaining 20 pounds…lol.. and poor poor drunk teddy kennedy.. bet he pulled the bottle out last night, after latinos voted for hillary and hillary winning his state of Mass…lol.. Kennedys are yesterday.. they have no more say so anymore…. Go hillary… Go Hillary.. Go Hillary… obama is just a dirty politician that has his hands dirty with rezko…. go to hillaryclinton.com and support her… and come on women.. lets show the men who are boss… vote hillary…
Re: jessica – wow. so much for positive campaigning. I'm guessing by the grammar and the childish putdowns in your post that you won't be eligible to vote for about ten years. so don't be upset if we don't pay your "vote" much attention.
HELLO……. does anybody watch the news. By the time all is said and done, Barack and Hellary are going to be almost a dead tie. Hellary hasn't won…. the fat lady hasn't sung yet!!!! Go BARACK OBAMA! YES WE CAN!
perez, if you watched the news you would know hillary is NOT the front runenr because the delegates are so close that they are virtually even, even though she got california, obama came home with more states, so all is up for grabs.
obama for change.
barack the vote!!
THANK GOD. WE NEED HILARY. she is an amazing woman who needs to be elected prez
Don't overlook the fact that Obama won significantly more states that Hillary-she may have more delegates, but a larger and more diversive segment of the population raised their voices together last night and chose Obama. We are in this to win…
that is false…although hilary won new york and california…..barack has won more states and delegates!
ACTUALLY PEREZ, HILARY IS NOT THE FRONTRUNNER, SHE AND OBAMA ARE TIED. NO CLEAR VICTOR. OBAMA 08!
Yo fat gay boy. She did not win more delegates you meat head. The count is not over yet and it looks like Obidiot won. Vote for any GOP candidate than any of these two jerks. Perez you are a political moron.
Perez, when will you learn you are nothing more than a gossip blogger and not a political analyst? I don't see you on the Today show with Tim Russert, or CNN with Anderson Cooper. Your constant push for Billary is shameless. Voting is a personal choice for everyone and you are far from a superdelegate or someone who can swing the vote. You are one voter who is entitled to make a choice but your constant voicing of your desires are not of interest to many of your readers. Allow other voters to educate themselves on the issues and make their own unbiased choice. If you continue to go down this road which I suppose you will as you haven't stopped yet, state the facts for ALL remaining candidates in both parties and provide links to back up your statements to reputable news sources if you can find unbiased ones.
I am PRAYING to God that Hilary pulls this out. Obama would be TRAGIC for this country. I am a die-hard Democrat and if Obama wins the primary, I will actually vote for McCain. Hang tough Hilary. Interesting how 85% of Black voters voted for Obama - that goes to show that they would vote for ANY Black person running - I would say half of that 85% of Black voters who voted for Obama voted on race ALONE - how uneducated and ignorant is that?!
But Barack is the leadership we need…I say the momentum is HIS! He closed in on her by leaps and bounds of what was expected, she's lost ground compared to what was intended…
I say we push it ahead for OBAMA!! OBAMA!! Yes, we can! It's time for the power in this country to shift!

zzzzzzzluv U perezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz♥
Sorry perez hillary is going to lose, she 8
It was EXTREMELY close Perez. Obama did really really well. Stop being so one sided.
um…actually obama took more delegates
Obama won more delegates Super Tuesday than Hillary did. He is gaining momentum while she is sliding. I would not call her a "front runner" at this point. She is struggling. He has proven he can win across gender lines/race lines/red state/blue states, etc.
GO OBAMA! YES WE CAN!
actually, they're predicting obama took more delegates. please fact check. oh, and spell check while you're at it.
Perez, I applaud your effort to get the celebrity-obsessed into politics; I must temper that applause by chastizing you for projecting an overall winner when votes are still being counted. Your wanting Hillary to win is not the same as America wanting her to.
YOU GO GIRL, HILLARY
THANK YOU HISPANIC AND ASIAN VOTERS! THE HILL COULD NOT WON CALIFORNIA WITH OUT YOU!!
kelsey - i would like to remind you that women voted as a block for clinton. HOW IGNORANT IS THAT? do you see how stupid your logic is? how about you try assuming that black voters voted for obama because he is the best candidate, ok?
-a white woman for obama
Re: Kelsey – When you say:
"Interesting how 85% of Black voters voted for Obama - that goes to show that they would vote for ANY Black person running - I would say half of that 85% of Black voters who voted for Obama voted on race ALONE"
…you do not offer any proof to back up your statement. The only thing you prove is that you are an ignorant, frightened bigot.
The truth is never wrong. The American system hasn't changed and everyone knows the rules. Whether it is Barack or Hilary…the good part is that they were elected. Either one or the other is not a bad thing.
I would like it to be Hilary because I think once she is in there and has the power to make change she will kick ass. She will elevate the presidency to new levels and will leave a legacy that will be respected in history as the first woman president. TOTALLY CONFIDENT OF THAT. She deserves this.
I'm not sure when this was posted, but at last count, the media had Obama about 4 delegates ahead as far as Super Tuesday, but Hillary still ahead overall with her super delegates.
Perez, since you've decided to bring politics into the picture, why don't you start talking about your religious beliefs. I'm sure we ALL care.
Re: obama#1 –
and that's a lie, Hillary is ahead in the delegates, dickbrain//
scores: hillary = 845 obaba = 765
hillary stands on her own two feet… doesnt need high-profile celebrities to convince people she's worthy. good for you!!!!
Well, Hill is currently in the lead with delegates, because of superdelegates! Superdelegates are politicians. They don't have to compete for the chance to go to the convention, it's guaranteed. AND they may change their vote at any time for any reason.
The truly telling thing about this past Tuesday, is that the PEOPLE (regular delegates) are voting for Obama, and politicians (superdelegates) are voting for Hillary. Hmmmmmmmmm….. Tell you anything?
Also, Hillary didn't do as well as her camp had predicted just a few short months/weeks earlier. Obama is gaining momentum FAST. And hasn't spent all his money to get to Super Tuesday like Hillary did.
Massachusetts:
Hillary 56 % Obama 41%
LMAO
The Kennedy clan and John Kerry are licking eggs off their faces.
Re: harumph – Black people have the right to vote for a black representative as white people have a right to vote for a white representative and women vote for a female representative. Everyone has the right to vote for who they want no matter how ill informed some may think. Some people vote for very cerebral and political reasons and some people do not have the ability to do that for many reasons. THEY STILL HAVE THE RIGHT AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED FOR THEIR VOTE!!!!!Re: harumph –
Re: ~Latinos for hillary~ – fuck you latinos! You fucked up everything! Too bad they don't ask for your passport when you went in to caucus tonight! And you wont be able to vote in the final election if you are illegal, so we are going to end up with a fucking republican, and its thanks to you! Go back to your own country!
Hey idiot, before you venture into the realm of *real* news, check your facts first. As usual, you are once again WRONG: Obama leads the delegates from Super Tuesday… Keep reporting on Castro, that's about as accurate as you get for *real* news. Oh yeah, you smell too, or atleast you did in Scottsdale, piggy.
Massachusetts primary result:
Hillary 56 % Obama 41%
LMAO HA HA HA
Princess Caroline can go back in the hole, and don't come back.
That is such a false statement…get your facts straight Perez, if you go to CNN.com, they stated that Barack is the front-runner in popular votes, and as far as delegates go…she and Barack are pretty much neck in neck…and Barack has the advantage….Barack is going to take this, you all might as well get on board…the people have spoken, and it's not for Hillary, they want change, they want Barack….
Re: Kate – SPOKEN LIKE A REPUBLICAN. FYI There won't be a next Republican president. It will be democrat and it will be barack or hilary. Right or wrong.
HILLARY is the BEST MAN for the job!
You really need to fuck off with this political shit.
You don't know ANYTHING about it.
She is NOT the front runner, it is completely neck and neck.
And by the way, Obama won more states, making him the more popular candiate.
ummm… perhaps you should refrain from political analysis. While she has more delegates at the moment, nobody would really say she has the advantage. Even her own camp has said that yesterday's votes were largely a win for Obama.
LMAO HA HA HA
Hey Maria Shriver, what's happened to your girly man?
Heartbreaking loss in CT and MO
But we won CA……. Hell Yeah!
OBAMA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually Barack Obama with 840 votes to Hillary Clintons 830! Yay!!!
"ITS HILARY BITCH"
Think this would make an excellent chant at the democratic convention.
Remember that this Union has FIFTY states. Texas and Ohio have a HUGE amount of delegates…so don't go getting all smug yet!
The New York Times, who endorses Hillary, wouldn't even call her a "frontrunner" - why are you, Perez? Do you know something the Times doesn't??

Cut the shit Perez … no one comes here for politics!

Perez, are you like the rest of the Latino Americans who are racist and don't like black people??
The liberal media claimed Hillary the winner and then I noticed that Obama won in delegates. Since the score is kept in delegates… then Obama won Super Tuesday. Funny we didn't see that headline anywhere.
Amazing how the Clinton's can censor the news.
This will take longer than I think, and I'm having a reality moment.
But Hillary already said " who ever win OHIO will win the nomination"
Can't wait until March.
Re: AMERICA IS FUCKED UP –
Obama is not a Muslim you ignorant fool. He's a Christian. Get your facts straight and stop circulating that nasty hate.
Obama - 845
Clinton - 836
u are wrong and a biased idiot.
Perez you are so damn bias….OBAMA for the people…
Good job Obama!!!! Now, do us a favor–TAKE THE GLOVES OFF!!! This Mr Nice-guy approach to the Clinton campaign is foolish. Dig up the dirt–remind the American people of why they are sick of the Clintons and why they don't want another possibly 8 years of their phony garbage. Refuse the offers of weekly debates. One a month would be sufficient. Tell them no thank you and continue your campaign. That's what is helping you win–getting your message out. Debates will be free air time for a campaign that is surely going broke. You have the momentum–don't let them side track you with debates. If you do debate, hit her hard! Her campaign is just a front for Bill to weasel out an illegal third term. If she wins, no doubt he will be calling the shots. Please don't let them make a mockery of the Constitution!

Go to the election results and do the math.

*************************************************************
What would you say had she endorsed the clintons???I say sour grapes
and you are a sore looooooser.
Re: Kelsey –
What is wrong with you? Are these numbers even valid? 75-80% of white women voted for Hillary (I was not one of them), does that mean these women voted strictly on race and gender? No, everyone votes for who THEY think is best. Respect that, instead of assuming it's race based. How dare you insult and dismiss the black vote. No one puts the white female vote down like that! Either candidate is fine, but I prefer Barack. I'm glad this election happened, because it shows the true colors of many Americans. Why would Barack be "tragic?" 99% of his plans are exactly the same as Hillary's. You are tragic, and I pray you don't vote, because you are ignorant.
Re: Kelsey –
Exactly. How ignorant & uneducated do you need to be to ignore clear DNA evidence and aquit a murderer??? Blacks have a mob mentality when it comes to voting, jury decisions, hair styles, worship styles, superstitious beliefs…etc.
First of all. President Kennady was an awful president. He got us deeper into vietnam and he cheated on his wife all the fucking time, so just because some kennady's endorsed barack obama we don't need to care. He was only glorified because he was handsome and assassinated. Second Perez knows a lot more about the election results than half of you idiots reading this because most of the delegates are posted online right now!! Hillary is not winning by much though…. in fact… by very little.
Obama really showed his strength last night. After being so behind and up against the Clinton brand he has proven that he has the muscle to win. This wasn't suppose to be close!
CLINTON: AR, AZ, CA, MA, NY, NJ, OK, TN
OBAMA: AK, AL, CT, CO, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, MN, MO, ND, NM, UT
yeap, hispanics WILL NOT vote for obama….there you go, digest that one…that means, they'd rather vote for mccain than the black boy…and hispanics are not married to the democratic party like blacks…they will flock to the other side if their candidate loses….specially ’cause mccain is pretty liberal when it comes to immigration….
delegates are still being calculated….why don't we wait and see….ultimately, obama will do well in "black states" and hillary will do well in the others….black states have a smaller number of delegates…..in the end she has the edge
plus, the more time passes the more people realize that obama is a nice speaker w/no tangible plan….in addition, the democratic party's superdelegates that are not decided are looking at the % and figuring out who can win this….whoever has the latino vote will win…that is clinton….
she will owe hispanics BIG TIME and they know it….they are not as dumb as people would have you believe….;-)
ps
isn't it interesting how asians also voted against obama? it seems other minority groups don't want anything to do w/the blacks….it's like they are saying: "no, we are not like them"…."we do not consider ourselves a minority and consequently we will not vote for the minority candidate"
Fat man can't do math. Must have flunked it in school. But given what you've done with your life, you probably flunked a lot of things. (unless you think being a space waster is cool. I think the planet would be better if we used people like periz as fertilizer.)
Obama won more delegates. But I think you need high school math to figure that out.
re: #57
FUCK LATINOS!!!!RICE AND BEAN EATIN' MOTHERFUCKERSSS!!!YOU PROBALY HERE ILLEGAL ANYWAY..AND PEASE DON'T THINK FOR ONE SECOND THAT HILLARY WON'T SEND YOUR ASS BACK ACROSS THE BROADER!!!!
Re: racist people suck –
A statement of fact does not constitute "racsim." Blacks have been shown in scientific research to do things in "groups." They largely ignore indivual opinion and band together as a group; this thinking goes way back in African-American culture. It was once a survival mechanism, now it is robotic thinking. You are not dealing with a "racist," but an educated person with an opinion — an American.
Heck YEAH!
I don't care what anybody says history was made last night. Two months ago the divide between Hillary and Obama was as big as the Atlantic ocean with Hillary in the lead.Today the race is so tight they are nitpicking delegates,if that's not victory I don't know what is.
HILLARY IS A FRAUD!
SHE IS A DISHONEST PERSON.
OBAMA IS TRUE.
Hillary is not the front runner - obama has won more states and more delegates!
RE 323: JESSICA
SO WHAT HE IS FUCKING MUSLIM..BETTER YET HE WAS RAISED MUSLIM BUT IS A CHRISTIAN!!!YOU STUPID BITCH!!RELION AND RACE DOESN'T MATTER!! HELL BUSH BEST FRIENDS ARE MUSLIM!!!
Perez, you obviously haven't been reading the headlines this morning. Obama is being declared the winner, winning more states AND more delegates. It was a very important victory for him last night.

actually, there are still hundreds of delegates that have not been allocated. and currently barack has 539 delegates and hillary has 540. so maybe you should wait until all the results are in before you declare a winner. sorry if it doesn't fit into your pro-hillary agenda and bias, but you are over-simplifying the race based on incomplete facts.
Obama won more delegates people….do the research.
OPEN YOUR EYES PEREZ! Stop LYING for Clinton!!!!!!!!!
So far, Obama won more delegates yesterday than Hillary and is ahead by just a few. Clinton only is leading when you factor in the superdelegates that have said they would vote for her. As of now, Obama 603, Clinton 590 but it goes up to Obama 709, Clinton 783 with the superdelegates (there are still several hundred uncommitted ones so it does not really mean too much).
And if Clinton wins just because of the superdelegates that would make her victory not unlike Bush in 2000, when Gore won the popular vote…
Perez, shut the fuck up. You're a biased asshole who knows nothing about politics - if you did, you would realize that Hillary Clinton is exactly what we don't need, idiot.

Obama WON!!!! look @ the delegates Barak is now ahead!!!!!
i love hillary,i am glad she is winning,but please people,when you vote,don't vote for someone just because they are a woman,or just because they are africian americian,look at what they stand for,do research,see what they stand for,not just what they are,you could be voting for someone who has total opposite views and values than you.
Re: LJ – actually,no he didn't clinton has about 100 more than obama(so far) who knows he could get more when the count is completely totalled.
This is a special thanks to all the women in America that voted for Hilary. It's clear that women will rule the Millenium years. This is history in the making. Mrs. President Clinton, how wonderful.
GO HILLARY, GO.
