What would it take for Hillary to suspend her campaign before Pennsylvania?

[stahbrett]

Losing in Wyoming and Mississippi are expected, but are still more losses. I don't think that will be enough though.

Are there some well-respected Democrats (ideally ones that are neutral now, or Clinton supporters) that could approach her campaign as a unified group and encourage her to drop out for the good of the party's chances in the fall? If she does not, these Democrats could hold a press conference, start going on talk shows, etc., to explain how she cannot win without the superdelegates overturning the will of the voters, and that in their opinion it's just not going to happen - and that by staying in, she is hurting Obama's chances in the general election.

Or is she in it until the bitter end, no matter what?

For some reason, even though the talking heads are talking about 6-7 weeks of campaigning until Pennsylvania, I have an inkling that it will not go that far...

[antigop]

1. believe me, it will go that far. Her ego won't permit it ending before that. n/t

[shenmue]

7. Yes, her evil, evil ego because she won't drop out when the gap is so narrow.

Why won't she act the way you want? Why won't she just go away?

Why do we have to put up with this stinkin' democratic process, Ma? I don't wanna! Waaaaaaaaaaah!

It's called "running for office." Maybe you've heard of it?

Damn. This is pathetic.

[Kittycat]

47. She could win 100% of PA and still not catch Obama.

The gap is not that narrow, and she's running out of states that matter, and states that don't matter.

[skater314159]

65. Definition of "states that matter"

"states that matter" = states Hillary wins

"states that don't matter" = states that Hillary loses

"caucuses don't matter" synonym with #2 above

[MonkeyFunk]

106. Obama's not gonna get 2025 pledged delegates either

so why doesn't he drop out?

[JackORoses]

107. this "nobody can get 2025" argument is totally flawed

It is based on the premise that if noone can get a majority, then pledged delegates mean nothing.
It also assumes that the Superdelegates will overrule the Pledged delegates.

These premises are wholly inaccurate. Pledged delegates mean everything.

They represent the will of the voting public in the eyes of the Superdelegates. Not just the Popular Vote/Primary States but the Caucusing States, as well. This is the United States of America. Not the United States of CA,NY,NJ&OH...

Obama will need fewer SDs to reach 2025. He is the only candidate who has been picking up a steady stream of them.

The SDs aren't idiots. And they do not need to wait another 7 weeks or 2 months to find out that Obama will win the race for Pledged Delegates.
They will end this soon for the good of the Party.

Will you complain that the SDs are interfering when this comes about?

[MonkeyFunk]

108. Sorry

there's no rule that says the superdelegates have to vote the way you want them to.

It's not over until one candidate has 2025 delegates. Neither one has that now. Neither one is likely to get them any time soon.

Why are you so afraid to let it play out? Why the constant demands that Clinton drop out now? You sure seem scared.

[JackORoses]

117. Because we know now what the circumstances are.

Obama will end up with more Pledged delegates no matter what.

So the Superdelegates might as well make their decisions now.

If they are going to overrule the PDs, like you want, then they can do that now.
If they are going to respect the will of the People represented by the PDs, then they can do that now as well.

It's not fear that motivates this request.
It is intelligence.
We do not need to waste time and resources that could be spent fighting John McCain.
It might be fun for you Hillarites to have another few months of thinking she can win,
but it will not be good for the Party or our chances in the Fall.

[CarbonDate]

83. The gap is narrow?

News to me. The math I'm seeing is that Hillary has to win every remaining state by over 25 points (or Pennsylvania alone by 50) to eliminate Obama's pledged delegate lead. Do you see that happening? Hillary must, or else she must have other reasons for staying in.

Now that would be a remarkable comeback, and a sure sign of somebody ready to take on the Republican nominee! Of course, barring that, I think Obama will have proven himself by overcoming a candidate with every advantage to her name (including her name).

[wileedog]

120. The gap is not narrow

The pledged delegate gap is insurmountable, even IF they seat FL and MI.

She *MAY* get close in the popular vote, if Obama really falls on his face, but that's it. And if that is her argument for the SDs to overturn the pledged delegate count, she is effectively arguing for the destruction of the party. Because LARGE numbers of voters, particularly the next generation of Democrats, will peel away.

And she will get crushed in the GE.

This is not even getting into the damage she is trying to inflict on Obama who is barring said disaster above the presumptive nominee.

Its called "winning the presidency without blowing up your party." Maybe you've heard of it?

[No Blood for Hubris]

17. Oo, girlie egos are SO baad. We can't have that, can we?

No, no.

The nerve -- a female who actually aspires to be President! Someone who's actually a fighter, willing to fight!

How dare she not collapse and faint and go home snivelling at once!

What's the world coming to?

[KittyWampus]

57. she's a POTUS candidate whose fucked up campaign failed to plan ahead and lost weeks ago

What's WRONG with THIS picture? What's wrong is that he might have the "math" going for him...but the people aren't cooperating with the "math".
OT, when you obamites talk about the "math" all the time...I get that sickening picture of Karl Rove in the yellow room of the WH on election night when Kerry was winning, talking about the "math"--remember...the computer hooked up to the Diebold machines?
Remember Karl Rove and his "math".
This is what I see when you all sit and talk about the "math"--it reminds me of Rove.

If we were picking a Prom King.



Look, if Obama (and you) can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

[stahbrett]

28. It makes it easier for the Democratic nominee for President of the United States - Obama

She just can't win. Sure, the raw numbers seem deceptively close. But superdelegates will not give the nomination to someone with fewer pledged delegates - it would be a slap in the face to the voters, especially the most loyal Democratic voters, who are overwhelmingly voting for Obama. She cannot and will not catch up in pledged delegates.

[backscatter712]

55. So you don't mind damaging our chances in November.

Isn't that right? If Princess can't win, no Democrat wins in 2008, so she can try again in 2012...

[galaxy21]

14. Hillary cannot win this election with more delegates

so, she's basically in it to cheat.

The white elite stealing the nomination from the first black candidate? That will not go down well. They'll be riots in the street.

Not that Im saying giving the nomination to Clinton over Obama would be racially motivated, but that's what people will think.

[newfie4]

22. and obama can't win the GE without Hillary voters, which he won't have

Due to the assholish behavior of his supporters, the sandbagging of hillary, and the hijacking of the Democratic party.

good luck in 08, I'm sure Wyoming is in the bag!

Obama is winning more, and where he is losing, he is loosing with a smaller margin.

Can you explain how this is "losing" - except for Hillary?

11. if hillary were 100 delegates up would you expect obama to drop out?

there is a good chance neither will be able to get enough delegates to win and a probability that the difference in the delegate count will stay pretty close.

this will probably go to the convention.

105. no if the situation were reversed i would expect obama to keep fighting too.

[KaryninMiami]

12. There is supposedly, a council of "elders" in the DNC - Gore, Edwards, Richardson, not sure who else

I think the only way she would step down, is if they not only had a closed door session with her and asked her politely and reason with her about doing so- now, when she has a chance to save the party and not loose this momentum-- and before they hand McCain the job when people get so fed up the stop caring. Then, if she refuses, they will have to play hardball. Perhaps they can tell her every day that passes and she continues to run, another "heavy hitter" or super delegate (or two or three or whatever) will endorse Obama until one by one, it becomes embarrassingly clear to her, that she's lost the support of her party. Maybe then. Or, maybe not.

[griffi94]

23. imo

obama will lose the support of the party before hillary does. obama is drawing youth voters who weren't democrats until recently, and repub crossovers who still aren't democrats.

imply they've mad up their mind. The party has to make a decision.

This could go the other way as well.

19. I love how Obama supporters are scared of democracy.

This is exactly what they were saying before Ohio and Texas. "Drop out for the good of the party. You can't win Ohio and Texas."

And I love how they say the pledged delegates represent "the will of the people." Where one delegate in Idaho represents 1000 voters, and a delegate in TX represents 25000 voters.

Or, we can make each vote count once. Then, the popular vote without MI/FL is about 600,000 votes. With a revote in MI/FL, and a vote in PA, Hillary actually has a shot at winning the "will of the people." And 57% of the public thinks that the winner of the popular vote should get the nomination (as opposed to pledged delegtes).

But nooooo, Obama supporters scream "changing the rules." (Even though there is NO rule saying the superds can't vote the popular vote instead of pledged ds or any other reason). They'll scream anything to get elected.

[galaxy21]

25. I love how Obama supporters are scared of democracy.

Actually, most Obama supporters are afraid she's going to cheat democracy and steal the nomination. If I thought she would play fair, I'd have no problem with her staying in.

[BzaDem]

46. Yeah, negative ads and seeing what PA voters think are "cheating."

If you think her negative campaign is cheating, I'd like to see the Waaaaaaaaaambulence of Obama supporters when his campaign is destroyed in the GE.

The fact is, she has a shot at winning the popular vote. If she does, and the superds flock to her (as 57% of the people thing they should), that isn't cheating democracy. Only a DU Obama supporter would think so.

I don't know where you saw Obama supporters saying she couldn't win those states. She had double digit leads in both. Obama shrank them before the primaries, but she was still the clear favorite in both, even though she ended up on the losing end in Texas.

20. If you think the party needs to be united now, suggest Obama drop out.

Otherwise, idiotic thread.

[stahbrett]

35. If the positions of Obama and Clinton were exactly reversed, then I would advocate that he drop out

The thing is, I think he would actually do it, because he would be thinking of the greater good of the party, rather than just himself.

[Yossariant]

48. You don't believe that yourself. Quit the BS. It's so close that if that

were remotely true, he'd drop out -- "for the greater good of the party."

Then how the hell can you say what someone else thinks?

You really shouldn't project your inner BS onto stahbrett.

[stahbrett]

101. I do believe that

I don't actually take positions solely because of a candidate that I'm supporting. For example:

1) I think it's crazy that a candidate can win the popular vote yet get fewer delegates, even though this has worked in Obama's favor.

2) I prefer primaries to caucuses, although Obama is doing great in the caucuses.

Wyoming, Mississippi plus the 50 or so SD's that were said to be endorsing Obama could make a difference if they actually do endorse soon (and Wyoming and Mississippi might be the events they needed to jump his way).

[fujiyama]

49. Nothing short of all superdelegates giving Obama the delegates to take the nomination

Hillary is in this to the end.

I suppose I can see her justification. She has won large electoral rich swing states vital to winning in November. But her strategy of winning the nomination has been so awful that I don't really care if she would be the stronger candidate in OH or FL for the fall. She knows that the only way to take the nomination is to have super delegates overturn the winner of pledged/elected delegates.

Her supporters complain about caucuses being undemocratic. I agree. But they knew that caucuses would matter a LONG time ago. She knew she was running a long time ago. She should have been able to establish an absolutely unbeatable organization in those states taking the nomination in a walk.

But they didn't. And now they want to win by having SDs back the delegate loser and possible the popular vote loser... as well as having tainted counts from MI and FL.

[PATRICK]

93. Where is the backbone to do that?

Forget the diplomatic high road approach, the level of caution, cowardice or politeness or mixed loyalties or whatever make this fall short of the blunt intimidation needed for a real 'pressure" effort.
Simply let it be known that it will become low priority to pay off the Clinton campaign debt, and even lower priority for her people to receive inclusion or a voice in the administration. Intimations of primary challenges in NY(as dull as the prospect seems of going back to being a stolid, permanent senator). Stealing and likewise leveling with close allies and donors(anyone who has not gone out on a limb to show their kamikaze loyalty to the Clintons).

Is that likely? Is it more likely than the dilemma of superdelegates who do not want the responsibility of seeming to toss the election- so that they HAVE to wait until June and meanwhile be subjected to the Clinton barrage every single second of that waiting period. Do we have to have yet another big state showdown in Michigan and Florida("the first shall be last and the last first" never had as much irony)?

Waiting may be the only option and not necessarily the worst as Obama builds up meaningful organization throughout the nation. "Losing" the big states has never been so misjudged. He has done extremely well in all those states. The development of the trashing campaign has drawn in what the media would do anyway, granted with more free divisive attention. The losing candidate has granted the favor of becoming more and more a McCain stand-in practice nemesis who is building up more party strength for the overall and almost selflessly getting none for herself. The powers we want faced are getting faced down, now, big time, in the ONLY limited democratic process we will see(because the current GOP is a in all ways a non-choice party and a sham). People who might want that glossed over, Obama uneducated and soft on the corporatists are going down with the ship just like they went to hell with little Georgie.

Anytime some perennially witless, arrogant cowards want to beseech Hillary to quit- or anytime the people taking over the party(not all progressives to be sure) want to start delivering blunt consequences, they can feel free. One way or another this process, shortened or drained to the last drop, has to be done, the pain deserved if not necessary, the ends results to those who stand firm on what is right. The Obama numbers are greater, broader and the movement is just picking up. There is is no fair Democratic or democratic way to stop it. It is battle tested and wised up by the fact that people just don't form a universal parade for any human god. They wanted leadership "from below" they got it. Unless they want frustrated mobs and bottomless disaster they might want to personally embrace sanity and survival.

94. The Council of Elders

95. your suggestion that they lobby her thru the media reeks

tacky beyond words.

This is a behind-closed-doors discussion; if she does not heed it they can start vocally endorsing Obama and giving her the cold shoulder, but going on talk shows and whining is really crap advice.

What she needs is for people to shut the fuck up with the advice and demands long enough to give her some space and let her make a decision - hopefully the right one - and announce it herself. She cannot just respond to the latest call for her to quit by saying, "well, ok then" Human nature is what it is. All the screaming and catcalls from the Obama supporters do NOT serve him well.

[davidpdx]

96. I don't see it happening anytime soon given her attitude.

My guess is even after Pennsylvania she's going to push to stay in until the end. Even though I support Obama, I think Clinton will probably win the state, but maybe by a narrower margin then she won Ohio. However, that won't matter much. The race is about delegates not the popular vote.

For a second assume Obama wins Mississippi delegate wise 18/15, with today's results of Obama winning Wyoming 7/5 (or something like that), coupled with the still unannounced Texas caucus (which still has delegates to assign), the margin in the delegate count will still be larger then it was in the beginning of March because of Obama picking up super delegates.

One of the things that could play as an advantage for Obama is if the super delegates continue to swing toward Obama during the 6 weeks between Mississippi and Pennsylvania. The super delegates are the only area she has consistently lead in, though that lead has now shrunk. According to RCP that has shrunk to 12 (from somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 delegate lead).

It is NOT a coronation and 13 million Americans wish her to stay in the race. If there's something to be learned about her wins last week is that many people still prefer her to Obama. You all don't like it? Then that's just too damn bad for you.

This is not just about Hillary, it's about electing a president who is the most prepared and capable to do the job and there are plenty of us who don't think Obama is ready.

This is still a Democracy and Hillary has no reason to leave the race at this point in time.

:shrug:

[stahbrett]

102. Her wins were minimal - she's further behind today than before the elections on Tuesday

Here are the various strategies that have been mentioned multiple times, along with why it's flawed:

1) Seat FL and/or MI delegates "as-is" based on de-certified elections.
FLAWS - DNC will not allow it to happen. It will not be enough to give her the lead anyway.

2) Convince enough superdelegates to give her the nomination despite Obama's lead in pledged delegates.
FLAWS - Superdelegates will not slap the voters in the face by giving Hillary the nomination over Obama - you'd see such a massive outcry, and cause such a backlash, that it truly would be suicidal for the party, and the superdelegates are party insiders/bigwigs.

[Beacool]

104. Her wins were not minimal.

They were the votes of many people. It's not all about delegates, people's votes do count and she won the popular vote in 3 states.
