Barack Obama is that much closer to the White House!
The Democratic presidential hopeful has won two more more state contests.
Barack picked up delegates after winning contests in Wisconsin and Hawaii on Tuesday night.
Congratulations!

I'm glad you're playing nice Perez. Yay democrats, I'll take either either one!
Re: lula – In OHIO, you can vote for anyone, and independents are welcome to vote as well. In PA, you can vote ONLY in your party and Independents are not allowed to vote. Just moved from PA to OH…
Re: NObama…NOway – You hate Bush yet will vote for someone he endorse? Someone who shares most of his views. Someone so extreme.. That is craziness. I doubt Obama or Hillary will be half as bad as Mccain. Obama and Hillary share smiliar platforms so why would you jump to someone totally different if Hillary does not get the Dem nom?
That sounds weird to me..What is it about Obama you hate so much?
Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!
It's nice to see you report the other side every once and awhile!
I wish he would stop stealing ideas and speeches, from the other candidates and the gov deval patrick!!! i don't trust him!!! every time he wins a state, they say it's where he was born or raised or his granny was raised or his stepdaddy was raised!!! where the fuck did he come from???
i hope the dems who want Hillary to win will vote for the Reps, let's see how happy they will be when Mccain chooses Two arch conservatives like Huckabee or Romney, both of whom will keep our troops in Iraq(100years). And both of whom will seal our southern borders so tight against the mexico nothing will get through. The conservatives are pushing for tighter laws against the illegals and they will build that fence if it's the last thing they do.
Well we certainly weren't ready for a Brown President because nobody voted for him. 342424.
You darn tootin! We will build that fence along our southern borders come high or low water!
Bush nor Cheney nor Mccain are conservative enough! They are all impostors, we need a true conservative in the Oval Office to steer America in the right direction.
Great! Let's have a prez who will smoke crack and have sex with random men in the Oval Office.
(google "Larry Sinclair" if you don't get the reference).
Hillary > Obama
PEREZ is being GRACIOUS. It is what you do when you lose and you have any MANNERS at all. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Why can't you let even the most normal response alone?
Right Slim Shady!
GO OBAMA GO!!! so satisfying to see Hitlery crash & burn! but don't let up Obama, that bitch is going to do whatever it takes to win the nomination, legally or illegally, she will destroy the Democratic Party if necessary, the Clintons have no morals or scruples.
Re: From England – oh my gosh so well said!!
as for you perez finally realizing that obama is kicking ass dont try to come around now after all of your obama hating you clintin licker! however i do worry about obama's lack of experience but this man knows what he is doing and he's worked hard to get to where he is unlike some people who are criticizing him, the only hard work they're doing is sitting their fat asses at the computer ranting and raving. it takes a true leader to get to where he is and the same goes for hilary i dont know truly which one im going to vote for but as long as its anyone but bush
THANK YOU, PEREZ. Was wondering if you were going to mention it.
HILLARY "CALL ME LATINA" CLINTON IS A CUNT THAT WHY SHE'S GOING TO LOSE.HA SHE HAS NO EXPERIENCE, AND SHE'S A ****** LIAR. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WON'T VOTE FOR HER ANYMORE.
I'm surprised that more people weren't put off by his klepto speech scandal this week, thus resulting in less votes. Also, I'm from Massachusetts and voted for Duval Patric (our governor and the guy who Barrack "stole" speeches from) and I must have heard that speech before. However when it came out of Barrack's mouth, he delivered it so effectively and evoked such inspiration that it could give one chills. But now it's all just A LOT disappointing! Oh well, I don't want to shit on his parade, so congrats to Barrack on his wins.
however there is a lot of glitz surrounding obama but what i truly think people are afraid of is the fact people are scared of seeing a woman or an african american in power and this fear makes me happy because that means that change is on the way…mccain? hes just another bush in my opinion and im going for hilary or obama but they both lack experience and someone has to step up an clean up the shithole left us in…i hate to say but the only reason now that we're even supporting a woman or african american president is because of the mess bush made. obama n hilary are going to change this world for the better i hope. as for african americans voting for obama because he's one of them i mean i dont necessarily agree with it but i can see why. this country has been run by way too many upper crust white man so how can african americans relate to that? its about time african americans got excited for politics now rather its obama or hilary. times are really hard now for everyone and democrats are more about the middle class than the rich.
and to the lady complaining about the abortion thing- abortion is a choice that isnt easy for many people but its still a choice, and i support it my best friend had to get one and let me tell you before you decide to pass judgement. she was raped and decided to get it and she still cries about that decision everyday so its not easy. its still a woman choice to do and it should still be allowed i understand why you're against it but try looking at the issue from both sides before you start judging people.
What, I can't believe you posted an unbias email about Barack! I'll have to be sure to tell the crew- we've been boycotting you for the past few days, and I have to tell ya, after your post yesterday about him, lots of the crew won't be coming back to your site.
I know you are a huge Hillary supporter, so thanks for finally reporting something positive about him and congratulating him.
obama osama peace 08
FINALLY! Thanks for finally giving the guy credit, Perez.
OBAMA 08!!
This is an important election, not American Idol.
The sheep & cattle put a moron in Office for 8 years.
Now, they're falling for flash, again.
If Obama wins, I'll just tune out for another 4 years.
THE OBAMA/LARRY SINCLAIR SCANDAL JUST HIT THE FRONT PAGE OF THE "CLEVELAND LEADER" THIS MORINING…
Oh my.
For the Clinton supporters: We vote for Obama because we are tired of dynastic politics regardless of party affiliation.
For the morons who are incapable of understanding that one only needs to hit the reply button once: Dynastic is not a play based on the t.v. show Dynasty, but rather defined as a sequence of rulers from the same family.
Go Obama
Listen up DEMS who threaten to vote REP if Obama wins the nomination, I'm on your side however I've been on a ton of political blogs trying to get a pulse for things and monkey man Obama is gathering such a huge turnout, his campaign folks aren't even that worried about getting Hillary's voters ome election time. They're preparing to just right us off and replace our votes with pissed off Republicans who threaten to switch party nominations instead of voting for McCain.
This *ucking sucks! They don't even care about trying to get our votes, so the only thing we can do is SUPPORT THE HELL OUT OF THE INDEPENDENT NOMINEE!!!! I think there are enough American voters our there who hate the choices we've been given to give an independent a good chance, and we should do it! The independent will get my vote!!!
Yeah, Vote for me I will win the war and I am more anti-illegal alien than even Lou Dobbs!
Its good to see you reporting the news. I boycotted for a week because of the shameless obama bashing.
A Huckabee/ Ron Paul ticket will be ideal. A conservative and a Independent will be a wonderful choice for America.
Hypnosis & mind control. That's the only explaination I can think of. @@!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR HUCKABEE!
Great to see you giving praise when it's due..GOBAMA!!
about fucking time you did this
Are you kidding me? The Republicans hate Ron Paul even though his views about the economy, the war and illegal immigration are closer to what the conservative base endorses.
Barack…our future prezident. Hooray!!!!!
Perez…you are so full of it. I'm sensing a quick flip-flop to team Obama! Stick to real celebs you fool.
FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK! FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN bECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBB & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU DOBBS & GLEN BECK FUCK LOU & GLENN!
Bill O'Reilly is just as bad.
Re: Lou Dobbs – The faster we build it the more our votes will count over the nasty illegal Mexicans that sneak into our country and cost us and cause all kinds of problems. They are roaches but not as good.
Thank you for recognizing the achievements of both democratic candidates.
Re: i love christian bale –
#215
Still love him?
He'll never make it, for many reasons. Do you think the Clintons are gonna let that happen. You watch P your Boy is going down.
Don't trust any of these mofo's they are all alike and none of them will keep their campaign promises. Politicians lie more than car salesmen.
YAY!!!
I love Obama!
Fuck Hilary Clinton, I would die if she won, she's a fucking cunt and I hate her so much.
Power for the black people.
Y'all know what I mean;D
Thank you for posting this Perez : ) Obama '08!
GO OBAMA!!!
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
WOOOO!!! GO BARACK!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
#201
In the primaries and caucuses up until now, registered Democrats have been turning out in nearly TWICE the numbers as registered Republicans. Doesn't really bode well for Republicans come the general election in November, does it?
Americans are sick to death of 7 plus years of Republican rule. Dubya and his supporters have been an unprecedented DISASTER for this country. The economy is in free fall, we have perpetual warfare in Iraq, oil is sky high, and the dollar is tanking. As for so-called Republican commitment to fiscal responsibility, the national debt is at RECORD LEVELS!!! Then there are the international embarrassments of Katrina and legalized torture. The rest of the world thinks we're a bunch of uneducated idiots for putting Dubya into office TWICE. Americans won't soon forget that Republicans are the party who got us into this mess.
I happen to be an Obama supporter, but the race is in no way decided. Probably won't be until the Democratic convention in Denver. That being said, I'll support whoever the Dems elect as their nominee because 4 more years of Republican leadership is UNACCEPTABLE to me. Democratic unity is essential, if we want to get Republicans out of the White House.
GO BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BARACK OBAMA IN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly you change your tune now that you realize you've been backing the loser? You should just stick to the gossip Perez. No one respects what you have to say about politics.
Damn this is gonna be an exciting year with the olympic games, the election and dropping my new album.
Thanks, Perez. Nice to see you're not bashing him win biased news. Very classy of you.
Meghan STFU! You fuckin troll! Obama is being supported by all kinds of people and he is like he said, an American candidate for Americans. So don't start your shit bitch with that phoney ass white girl name, we know you.
Nice to see you finally giving Barack his due, Perez. I voted Obama in my home state caucus, but I'll gladly vote for WHOEVER the Democratic nominee is in November, when it REALLY counts.
Shit, I'd vote for my pet cat rather than see another Republican in the White House. Seeing that Democratic turnout has been almost twice that of Republicans so far, guess a lot of other Americans feel the same way!
DEMOCRATIC UNITY FOR VICTORY!!!
Speak for yourself bitch.
HILLARY IS NOW THINKING OF WAYS TO STEAL THE ELECTION. THEY MIGHT BE SETTING UP PEOPLE TO LIE AGAINST OBAMA. THE CLINTONS ARE SLIME WITHOUT CONSCIENCE. DO ANYTHING AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN, THAT'S THE SCUM THEY ARE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HILLARY TAX RETURN. OBAMA HAS SUMITTED HIS, SHE HAS REFUSED TO DO THE SAME. SHE FIRST WANT THE NOMINATION BEFORE THAT HAPPEN. WHAT SHE HAS TO HIDE? OH YEAH, WE ARE DEALING WITH THE CLINTONS, AREN'T WE?
PLAGIARISM!!!!! WAY TO SUPPORT A CHEATER YOU UGLY FUCK!
Thank you, Perez, for finally presenting the presidential race — and specifically, Barack Obama — in a tasteful, respectful, and responsible manner. If you're for Hillary - that's great! But showing RESPECT for her opponent allows people to respect you and your political position as well.
OBAMA '08!
Thanks for finally getting off Hillary's nuts, Perez.
Go Obama!
Is this your concession speech, Perez?
You prepared to offer your support now?
nice save PEREZ
Re: trisha – it is just not African American's voting for Obama just like it is not only women voting for Clintion..If African Americans choose to vote for Obama please does not conclude they are doing so just because she is Black..just like you would conclude those voting for Cliniton are doing so just because she is a woman or because she is white, or those voting for Mcclain just because he is white and male (although it is some of these in every group), please dont generalize or minimize the African american or any other vote.
Rightards want to run this race like they had NOTHING to do with the past eight years. Like it or not, Republicans, the colossal failures of the Bush administration sit squarely in your laps.
You dug your graves, now lie in them, Repugs. As usual, responsible, competent, patriotic public servants will have to clean up the nasty messes you've made. How proud you must be…
Thank you Perez, for finally being mature about this.
It's gonna be a great show when the Clinton machine moves to stea…er, I mean seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan she becomes the nominee. (and the irony!!….I mean Dem's participating in a "stealing" of an election and all, over-riding popular vote with delegates….*snickers*)
The race riots of the past will look like child's play (go ask your parents).
And the Republicans will sit back and watch the Democratic party implode.
Thank you for reporting this!
I love you Perez and I know your a Hilary supporter. I'm all about Obama and I think it was great of you to offer up congrats. We all know this race isn't over yet but this is so great to know your living in an exciting time. This is history in the making. Either a black man or a woman will be the nominee. I never thought I'd see the day
Thanks you for being gracious Perez.
props to you, perez, for pointing this out. i was about 2 seconds from taking your blog off of my toolbar, but you have convinced me to stay.
Thank you for your gracious post Perez. If the Hillary camp had learned how to be more gracious early on, she might not be drowning right now. The reason so many of us are behind Obama is this: he isn't playing by "the rules"~ he hasn't gone negative yet, he doesn't take PAC or special interest groups money and he just exudes positivity. And he's winning. Proof that we are tired of the way politics are in this country. He is a once-in-a-generation leader, this is our time!!
Thank you, Perez, for not mudslinging anymore! I was very close to boycotting your site.
Barack is a hypocritical ass. This country is not going to benefit from having him slime all over it.
Re: I see your point but – whoa slow your role i understand where you're coming from but i think you got me a bit wrong my post was in response to a post i read about how blacks are only supporting obama because he is black and for some that is true and for some its not. i would think that african americans are happy to support obama because they feel he can relate to african americans and share the african american views and because of that they are supporting him just like some women are supporting hilary because she is a woman and because of this fact it is indeed making some voters bias on which person they choose if i offend anyone sorry but its the truth.
Re: I see your point but – im not minimizing their vote but its true for some and for others it's not.
i'm from wisconsin and only voted for obama last night so that hillary wouldn't win wisconsin!!!!!!!!!
GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!

Just further proof from the "Barack Haters" that they don't do their research and go by what other non-intelligent Hilliary supporters have to say. Barack does indeed have experience, he does indeed swear on the bible and has done far more than Hilliary has done.
If people stopped looking at the name "Clinton" and looked at their records & background, they will see exactly how much each has done and then they will see how foolish and stupid their comments are.
*
*

Hillary needs to quit her run to the White House so an Obama/Edwards ticket can win and lead this country out of the dark. IF Hillary got on the ticket, that's a win for McAin as our next pres. And Hillary will just do more of the same as what GW is doing.
I HATE OBABA!!!!!!!!

I really dont get you Perez. First you love Obama, then you hate him, then you like him again! Just yesterday you would not stop posting ridiculous claims of plagiarism against him, pretty much bashing him every chance you get, and now suddenly you are congratulating him?

At least you are being somewhat civil and fair now. Not even your precious Hillary gave him the accustomed congratuations you are supposed to give when a candidate beats you.

BARACK 08!!
WOW……Perez…..is taking a nuetral political stance and deciding to report on BOTH candidates…hmmmm he must have had a few less hits on the web this week.
Don't vote for Barack Obama
-His middle name is Hussein
-His father is a muslim-
-He gives fake speeches
Why would you post that after dogging him the past few weeks? Putting your tail between your legs??????????
Re: lucy –
Well then, just enjoy bringing home less money cause the Dems will TAX you to fucking death….be forwarned!!!
yes, Perez it's your bloggers that hold all of your power. Indeed we have your balls in our palms. so it may be in your best interest to keep your political views at bay. or we will come after you big time and BOYCOTT your site. then your advertisers/bread & butter will soon leave thereafter.
how many of your advertisers have you offended by taking such a public stance?
Additionally, thanks for eating crow and posting a legitimate comment about our guy Barack!
Mccain won too!!!!!!!!!! There is another party ya know!! when r u obama fans gonna realize he knows nothing about politics all he says is the word change, how do u know change wont get us attacked like 911 again! our troops are over there fighting for us we should BE SUPPORTING THEM, not putting down this country, if obama gets into office and opens the borders this place will become united states of MEXICO and all of our middle classes taxes will be paying for it!!!!!!!!!!! dont vote for obama bc u think he is a celeb vote for who u agree with on the REAL issues.. MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't vote for Barack Obama
-His middle name is Hussein
-His father is a muslim-
-He gives fake speeches
LEAVE PEREZ ALONE!!
He was FOR Barack before he was against him! LMAO! It's perfectly fine for him to be for him again… or at least to report things as they are. Just the facts ma'am!
I am an obama supporter but I have to correct you guys….Obama has won 10 in a row. Although he won in Washington as well as HI and Wisconsin. He only recieved DELEGATES for the last two, washington had no delegates at stake right now. ….and P.S. SABRINA PLEASE SHUT THE FU** UP!!…U LEFT YOUR COMMENT 40 TIMES….YOUR GOING ON YOUTUBE, IT WAS CUTE BLAH BLAH BLAH…WE GET YOUR POINT!!!!
Re: Stop hoping.-start Realizing –
Inarguably, Obama has charisma. References to "hope" and "change" have become motifs in his campaign. At times, unyieldingly so. However, these are not the only things fueling his campaign or his electability. In terms of policy, both Clinton and Obama are fairly similar. Although, they have procedural differences in terms of how they intend to achieve their objectives.
I respect senator Clinton, however, her campaign has been strategically and tactically ineffective. If you're running as the "experienced" candidate, it is quite telling if the largest organization that you have run is falling apart at the seams.
Obama's voter base is highly educated. He performs well among college educated adults and high income earners. Mud-slinging and enlisting your friends, such as Perez Hilton, to beat up the competition "Tonya Harding style" will not sway this group of voters.
Charisma and allusions to "hope" and "change" are not the cause of Hillary's weakening appeal. Rather, it is the ineffective leadership displayed by her own campaign.
Who did Barack Hussein Osama borrow his speech from today?
thanx for the unbiased unslanderous opinion! i kno you wanted hilary to win so i personally thank you for jus statin the facts GO Obama!
Re: Katie – #301
As a lifelong Democrat, Chicago born and raised, I am so proud of my party.
It'll be a cold day in Hell before Republicans would even consider nominating a woman or ethnic minority as a presidential candidate!
At this late date, the best they can do is McCain? Another decrepit, old white guy and war profiteer, owned by corporate lobbyists…
Mark my words, in the countdown to the general election Republicans will smear their Democratic opponent viciously. It's all they have, considering the awful record of George W. Bush.
Oh I love how you were all rah rah Hillary till the tides turned. You're so pathetic and transparent.
Re: CC123 – I totally agree!
Part 1:
Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years. These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress (www.thomas.loc.gov).
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty.
The posters who rant about Obama's religion, drug use, and homosexuality are DESPICABLE!!! Do they really think it does their party ANY good to rely on mud-slinging and LIES???
Guess that's ALL they have when the Republican record is one of unprecedented failure. Luckily, many Americans recognize bullshit when they see it.
Try as they might to hide it, bigots and morons are easily outed. They're the ones who spell the n-word like this: "n****r." If that's what you REALLY believe, JUST SAY IT, cowards.
Part 2:
Only five of Clinton's are more substantive.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.
Now, I would post those of Obama’s, but the list is too substantive, so I’ll mainly categorize. During the first (8) eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
Part 3:
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:
**the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (In committee), and many more.
In all since enter the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record for someone who supposedly has no record according to the spin meisters and mindless twits. I challenge Clinton supporters to name a single legislative accomplishment that demonstrates her superior experience.
- Amadeo Sogni, "A Light in the Darkness"
well there's a shift in attitude, Perez….
I just want to say Bush had experience and where are we Now??? how does that help on 911? and Iraq? I rather have somebody with little experience!
