STOP! THINK! What's important to you? Destroying the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?

[Hawkeye-X]

Congratulations to Hillary but Hillary still has a Kilmanjaro mountain to climb

You guys are forgetting a very important fact - delegates.

Hillary netted only 20 or less delegates last night. Everything was a virtual tie last night, and her NET gains can be easily wiped out by Obama victories in forgotten Wyoming and Mississippi which happens to be next week. Also, the fact remains that while neither of them will reach the magic number of the nomination, there are already plans in place to put in full swoop of new sets of superdelegates in a bloc for the current leaders in delegates, and that happens to be Barack Obama.

It's over. She fought the good fight, but mathematically, it is all over for Hillary Clinton. She cannot win in any scenario except for ONLY one - bullying the SD's to cross to her, and it is NOT going to happen. Expect Hillary to be meeting with the party leaders to discuss her future and whether or not she will continue campaigning so the Democratic Party will unify and focus on McCain.

If Hillary continues to stay in this week, she will only be dragging the Democratic Party and giving Republicans easy ammo to destroy the Democratic Party as whole. Downticket Democratic seeking office will NOT be happy to see this continued to be dragged. Obama was already preparing to focus on McCain and the Republican Party's failures, and yet Hillary wants to keep on infighting on its own. I think it's wrong, and she has tried, but failed to overcome the impossibility and needs to step aside.

1. what is important to me is not have repug bushco last 8 years become our democratic party

she did not fight a good fight. she fought a dirty fight.

[Labors of Hercules]

4. That is very true... she appealed to people's fear.

and that is the most divisive thing she can do.

2. I can not justify either stepping aside I just hope it makes each a better candidate

rather than providing republicans with a 3 month head start to frame the election and label the candidates

[Exilednight]

3. I will not replace one rovain tactic President with another rovian tactic candidate.

[seabeyond]

7. this has become my message. look what a rovian politician does to our country

i fouhgt it for 8 years... i will fight this one even if it is a democratic member.

and those that say it is just politics, makes excuse, turns head, denies, lies, or buries head in sand..... no different then the 8 years of republicans that have allowed bushco and rw religions to get away with what they have, and cause the damage that they have to our country.

some things are even more important than party

[Waya]

5. Exactly!

[Kittycat]

6. Hillary isn't a Democrat. At least not in her actions.

And she's still losing - by a WIDE margin :shrug:

[Exilednight]

9. and as Hillary reminds us, actions speak louder than words.

[bigtree]

8. Like republicans don't already have that ammo ready and waiting.

What Obama needs to do is find a way to deflect those attacks without escalating them as he's done with the little shoulder taps from Hillary Clinton. If he can't handle these love taps from his fellow Democrat without completely melting down, he'll be toast in the general.

10. Melting down?

Ignorant people respond to fear tactics, and there is little that can be done to deflect them without the full support of the party behind you. That's why throwing fear and dirt into a primary campaign is so effective, yet so potentially harmful to the party in the GE.

It's a narrow line, and I fear Hillary has no issue with crossing it.
