Is anyone else sensing the tide shifting toward Clinton dropping....

[Flabbergasted]

There are few distinct signs but many hints that the race is done.

There have been a number of media personalities hinting that Clinton needs to drop.

Public perception is seeming to embrace an Obama victory.

There are hints the party is working for an end to the impasse.

Hillary seems tired, out of ammunition, and defeated.

The Richardson endorsement. I think this will lead to some other high profile Obama endorsements.

1. I hope so

While I would have had no problem voting for her and have defended her on this board, it's time for her to face the music. She ran a shitty campaign and should sue Mark Penn for malpractice.

2. Well, when Harry Reid says that it'll be ending soon, I take that as a sign.

I think the party is going to bring this thing to an end before the end of April.

3. People are fed up.

Fed up with the Dems fighting and throwing an almost sure win in Nov against a very weak Rep candidate because they can't get their act together.

[caledesi]

16. I agree! NT

[madmunchie]

4. I got that feeling this morning - I certainly hope so

[razorman]

5. Not soon likely. Almost all of those things have been true for months.

[Lucinda]

6. Nope. Rass had a poll today said 22% wanted Hillary to drop out - Obama had the same percentage

It's mostly just partisan wishing, and news people pushing the drama.

9. Shirley you are not saying that that poll result helps answer the question

as to whether Clinton will drop out. If you are, I just don't see how.

[Lucky 13]

11. That is what she's saying. And dont' call her Shirley.

:eyes:

[Lucinda]

17. LOL

Thanks!
:thumbsup:

[Lucinda]

15. My point was that the majority of the Dem electorate doesn't WANT her to drop.

And I see no reason for her to drop out either.
Regardless of how much some would like her to do so...

[Bensthename]

7. She announced earlier she is staying till the end because we have millions of more voters to count

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. That's what they all say just before the serious talk with the staff

:rofl:

[Bensthename]

20. That's true but what scared me was her "try to stop me bitch" look in her eye when she said it.

[gristy]

8. Yes, but I don't know if "sense" is the right word...

given the number of articles, editorials, and posts I've been reading on the topic.

[grantcart]

10. contributions drop and she will stop

[OHdem10]

12. Are these Democrats telling the middle class working class

voters(those who make 75,000 dollars and below)--your opinion
does not count. We plan to stop the vote--it is Obamas.

Do these so called Leaders not realize how they sound.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. He's increasing in the PA polls too

[theboss]

18. At the end of the day, she is still Hillary! And there just isn't that much affection for her.

All campaigns have an ebb and flow. We build up a front runner. Then we look for their flaws. Which stages a "comeback." And then we look for the flaws in the comeback.

Hillary's problem is that she simply ain't that well liked. So, while she may fight like a badger on Jim Beam, she is still, well, Hillary. She is always going to have that built in 40 percent negative rating.

[quakerboy]

19. I just wonder

why there are no new endorsements to see since Richardson(for either of them).

[European Socialist]

21. Stick a fork in her--this Bosnia thing is the end.

[AntiFascist]

22. More Party leaders need to step forward and put an end to the destruction of our Party n/t

[GihrenZabi]

23. She'll drop after PA

PA is going to split 50/50. Just watch.

When it does she'll drop out because Obama has the advantage in the states which follow.

Right now she can't abandon her supporters when they're frothing over their chances in PA. When she fails to clock in a major victory in PA, then she'll have room to "face the music" by proclaiming that she is dropping out "in the name of party unity," or some such.

I don't care how she does it, I only care WHEN she does it, as in as close to today as possible. She can't win, end of story, she needs to get over her own ego and do what's right for the party and the country.

The money to fund the GE is going to come from Obama's supporters, not Hillary's. He's the most electable candidate versus McCain. Hillary is from the same establishment as McCain. Obama distinctly isn't.

25. Good post.

24. And out of money. n//t
