Who leads the popular vote?
Summary: Hillary Clinton is arguing that she is ahead of rival Sen. Barack Obama when it comes to the popular vote. Not so fast, says Obama's campaign. Clinton's count includes her wins in Michigan and Florida, but the Democratic presidential candidates agreed not to campaign in those states because they violated party rules by scheduling their contests too early. If Michigan and Florida are counted, Clinton is ahead by 100,000 votes -- 15.1 million to Obama's 15 million. Without those states, Obama has a 500,000 vote lead, 14.4 million to 13.9 million. Clinton says she has received more votes than any Democratic candidate in history. Exit polls suggest McCain is benefiting from prolonged Democratic battle. Dems next face off on May 6 when Indiana, North Carolina hold their contests.
Opiion: I think she is full of it. She talks a big game but can she really pull it off is the question. Obama was not even on the ballot in those two states and those delegtaes should not even count and those are the ones she is claiming, its quite funny! The delegates are not just going to be handed to her she needs to make an effort to work hard to get them, but I think she still has a big mountain to climb, in frot of her.

Clinton faces uphill battle in North Carolina
Summary: Hillary Clinton emerged from Tuesday's contest in Pennsylvania with a big victory and a net gain of about a dozen pledged delegates. But that could vanish on May 6 in North Carolina, a delegate-rich contest with a plethora of natural advantages for Barack Obama. Obama owes his victories throughout the Democratic nomination battle to African-Americans, young voters, upscale whites and independent voters. In North Carolina, those voters come in bunches, and their ranks are growing. African-Americans are expected to make up around 40 percent of the primary electorate, giving Obama a healthy starting point in his chase for a large share of the state's 115 pledged delegates. The Obama campaign in particular sees the program as a ripe opportunity to run up votes among North Carolina's many college students. Early voting started April 17, and thousands of North Carolinians have already voted. Clinton spent over $690,000 on TV ads in a month; Obama spent nearly $1.5 million.
Opinion: I think, once again, she has a lot of work to. She thinks she is wining the democaratic race and she thinks she is going to win North Carolina. Obama has a huge advantage and a lot of african american voters in his favor and he has spent so much more on his ad campaigns. I feel Obama should take North Carolina. Personally i find all this funny because as Clinton and Obama go back and forth McCain gets to sit on the sidelines and is benefiting from this long democratic fight. It can go either way and i would not want to pick either one. I just want it all to be over.
