Hillary to end her campaign Feb 5th. Unless she starts winning.

[Tom Joad]

And Clinton, once considered the front-runner in the Democratic race, vowed to continue the battle even if she loses to Obama in Tuesday's election. "Whatever happens tomorrow, we're going on," Clinton told CBS' "Early Show." "And we're going to keep going until the end of the process on Feb. 5." In fact, although 22 states hold primaries on Feb. 5 -- including big-delegate prizes such as California and New York -- nearly two dozen others hold their primary elections later in the year.

Just a few more weeks of the Kyl-Lieberman Iran war;Iraq Resolution supporter; Murdoch-servin'; NAFTA-WTO lovin'; Anti-poor; I wanna keep troops in Iraq beyond 2013...

at least one such candidate will be behind us. Not really too much of a difference than the current front-runner... but at least it shows people want change.

No more Bushes and Clintons. America has had quite enough. The world has had enough.

1. Sorry to disappoint you, but Hillary Clinton ain't going anywhere....

...at the very least she will be a major voice in the US Senate and whoever the President is, her voice and vote will be needed by that new President after January 20, 2009.

Sorry, but Senator Clinton is here to stay.

[Tom Joad]

9. Politicians aren't forever, you know.

they come and go.
but yeah, with friends like Murdoch, she is bound to be influential for a time.
Kinda like a hemorrhoid on the body politic. You won't forget she is around.

[Cleita]

2. We will know who our candidate will be after February 5th.

I don't think it will be so clear to the Republicans.

[terisan]

3. Oh that mean ole Hillary Clinton. She must be the big bad wolf who gobbles up littlun's

[Tom Joad]

7. Only the children of the poor. and not by eating, but denying welfare.

that should go to people like Murdoch.

[terisan]

15. She must be truly evil !!!! Not like that fine Mr.Bush or all those Farm Welfare-voting Dems

[Tom Joad]

17. Why do you think Bush is a fine person?

[terisan]

19. Because he is a Christian man who speechifies about his faith !

[Redbear]

4. I think she will win California and New York.

She will be in this thing for a while.

[Kucinich4America]

21. temper, temper

tom. doesn't take much to get you to lose it.

I'm with Elmer. I hope she's around for a long time in the Senate, and becomes Senate Majority Leader to boot. Sounds like that makes your blood pressure sky rocket.

[Capn Sunshine]

11. This is definitely an early candidate for most ironic post of 2008

:rofl:

[Colobo]

12. Starbuck is the greatest scam on Earth. How dare they

call that crap they sell coffee?

[Alexander]

16. Your screed sounds incredibly right-wing.

As usual.

[hedgehog]

6. This is an example of how the jamming of the primaries into a few

weeks is scewing the results this year. People in California can already submit ballots by mail. How many will submit a ballot today and regret their decision by February 5? What I am suggesting is that Hillary will go into the convention with delegates that she wouldn't have if the primaries were held later.

[emilyg]

13. You don't speak for me or the world.

Go Hillary.

18. This statement by HRC is obviously a slip, and a VERY REVEALING ONE

HRC well understands that no matter what happens in IA, NH, and S Carolina, for Obama even to win anywhere NEAR as many states as she on Feb 5 poses all-but-insurmountable odds. That is the day (TT or Tsunami Tuesday) that she knows will catch her candidacy from free fall, and almost certainly make her once again the front runner. HOWEVER, if Obama is able to do FAIRLY well on TT, after strong showings in NH and SC, as seems likely, with Edwards obviously fading by that point, Obama could draw all the anti-HRC Democrats into a winning coalition after Feb 5. But she has known all along that, as the Democratic Party powers that pee intentionally structured it, TT is her firewall, which she and her fellow Democratic Party leaders had constructed into the process from the start. It was STRUCTURED to be the end of the line for insurgent candidacies, and the end of the 'process' or charade of really letting the Democrats choose our nominee.

Most Democrats were antiwar in 2004, and had EVERY reason to support Dean, but his candidacy was torpedoed with all kinds of vastly exaggerated nonsense that was spread around the astroturf roots (like the "scream" which in reality was little more than an ever so slightly pink 'red meat' speech to his supporters).

Yes, Virginia, from 1963 to 1968 to 1976 to the 80s and 90s and now, the powers that pee aren't going to stupidly let the great mass of Democrats elect what we really want -- after all, that wouldn't be getting with the program.

No, it isn't the upbeat message of Obama, but I am a progressive down here in the trenches who figures that if positive reform has ANY chance, here is the best one now....

Down with (privileged) Horseshit-Tory-ism Now!

20. two primaries are not the whole story

we'll have to see.
