1. Why? You want to tear the party apart?
She can't win.

20. Letting ALL the people vote is NOT "tearing the party apart". As a liberal, you should know that.
Stop being so frightened of McCain and let the people vote.

29. These type of statements are smug & threatening baloney...
meant to try and make Hillary supporters, especially women, feel guilty somehow....like we're going to RUIN everything for him and ruin the party.

It's intimating "ladies" should 'step aside', and those who don't are being 'selfish' and only thinking of themselves.

That sort of junk is thrown at us all the time.

It is a very angry attitude towards ambitious women who are often told they have no right to be so, or keep on.

It's a little like being called home wreckers too. Ugh.

Tiresome.

2. Too bad she can't win the nomination without SDs overturning pledged delegates.
That is, unless she wins all the remaining states on average 61-39. Which ain't gonna happen.

Basically, if she's the nominee, that means the party insiders have chosen us a candidate the people did not. Which means we lose.

6. Aww, poor baby
When all the Obama supporters can muster is BS like;

* OMG Clinton endorses McCain!
* OMG Clinton didn't release her taxes!
* OMG Clinton do the math!
* OMG Clinton threw a puppy across teh desert!

I think the Hillary supporters are entitled to a bit of rah-rahing.

8. It's an old phrase, IMO, that explains it:
"Whistling past the graveyard." Or...it might be that they are just full of hateful shit.

Take your pick...:hi:

7. You're dreaming and your candidate is hurting our chances in Nov.
As long as you deluded few keep on it I'm gonna keep reminding you. She has lost! Are you a Democrat or a Clintocrat?

25. I once respected you.
The power of this "movement" to turn so many reasonable liberals into something I no longer recognize drives me further away, one little drip at a time.

31. Well, I am sorry to hear that
And the real shame of this election will be further divisions within our party. For what it's worth I hope I can regain your respect someday. Ultimately we are all on the same team here. That was my whole point.
Peace

12. Why do you bother
Let the silly posters rail on, if HRC gets the nomination, real Dems. will support her, the others will go back the the repub. party, where some of them belong.

14. Everytime I see her face or hear her voice I want to vomit
Much like with Bush. I can't go through with four more years of being ill whenever they have the president on television.

17. I guess that's what they mean by "polarizing"
Why is it that I'm always repelled by these polarizing candidates? And who are these moths that fly to the flame?

23. Well, some of us would rather not see Obama in office.
Deal with it, it's called a democracy and she's still a very viable candidate.

15. soorry --- but Obama already has the pledged delegates locked up
here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4918154

It was a good fight - but I can't fathom Hillary would want to take it 5 months to an implosion of the party at the convention in Denver.

18. She wants to, but cooler heads will prevail
And if she does go on some Quixotic quest for the nomination she'll loose all remaining credibility in the Senate.

19. She would win lots of political capital if she withdrew soon...
I don't expect it, but many of her detractors would forgive and forget if she helped the party --- and avoided a terrible convention fight.
