The Democratic electorate is slowly but surely rejecting her candidacy. Does she want to piss around for the next month untl Ohio/Texas while McCain galvanizes? Is it about you or the party, Hil?

15. This was expected. Just as TX and OH are expected to go for Clinton.

2. it's time for her to accept the reality that she should stop her run
If she really wants what is best for America, she will.

10. You're fucking kidding me. She's leading in the delegate count, and she should quit? I love your
logic.

18. Not after tonight she isn't.
Not even with her superdelegates, as if they'd ever stick with her, which they wouldn't.

25. politicians are the most selfish people in the world
They will put their political survival above Hillary's favorite fantasy. They don't lead. They follow the people and the people will kick their asses if they flake on this.

5. I doubt it
It's possible IF she loses by HUGE margins in all three. Even then, I'd be surprised.

7. The primary is good for the Dem party
There is a lot of positive hype in the media. The size and excitement of the rallies that blows the Repugs away is demoralizing. IMHO, let them carry on. gooooooOBama

11. If she loses both Ohio and Texas
She'll lose Pennsylvania too. Let's hope if she loses those two states that she just drops out for the good of the party.

21. why do we need a nominee'?
seriously. A race keeps people excited, you get free media, new donors and plenty of volunteers. This race is good for obama, if he pulls it out. look what happened to the republicans today,

26. So the nominee can begin running ads against MCCAIN instead of against each other.
Meanwhile McCain gets to spend a month or two unopposed, defining both Dems.

29. funny
every ad I have seen in a targeted market is positive? I thought Obama was going to run only positive ads? You know, uniting and all? You think the momentum will continue?

16. Obama does the right thing. The FAR right thing
Like sell out his district to Nuclear interests after they gave him
a fancy donation for his senate campaign.

14. She will lose them all
I predict close to 75% in dc (although I have already voted for her here) and closer than that in Maryland and Virginia. She won't quit though. She does need to win Texas and Ohio to have any chance, and probably Wisconsin to be serious.

17. You'll Pry That Scepter Out Of Her Cold, Dead Hands
The Clintons are like starving Pit Bulls - they won't let up until the end. Even if Obama gets the nomination, they'll be actively working against him, as they did with Kerry.

etc.

31. She'll see everyone in Denver
...and if she survives the floor fight, and wins the nomination, I will bet she will go on to be President.
