1. Furthermore
the tactics deployed by her campaign disqualify her for the Party.

2. Obama supporter here
she should stay in and see what happens in Pennsy-if she doesn't win by 20 points and make some ground in the PledDels then she should really consider doing what is best for the party and concede

7. I have to say that I'd like to see what happens in Pennsylvania
They say she's ahead in the polls but that Casey endorsement for Obama is gonna hurt her. I don't think she'll win with more than something in the single digits

5. no offense to Hillary supporters
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 11:26 AM by Faye
but I refresh this page every so many minutes waiting for breaking news that she has finally dropped out. Let me rant for one second: Hillary, PLEASE GTFO AND STFU.

:blush:

ps) I won't see any replies from her supporters so might as well not bother replying to this :o

9. I assume that means that you have all Hillary supporters on ignore.
It must sound like a big old echo chamber in here to a lot of you folks.

8. Hate to say it, but we need to start focusing on McCain.
Since the GOP wrapped up their nomination, they've already set their sights on November, and they're already taking potshots at us.

We can't afford to continue to have this civil war for much longer when Rush Limbaugh's marshaling his dittobots to disrupt the process.

In an ideal world, we could run this nomination to the end, all the way to the convention. But this is the real world, and the fact is that if we continue with the circular firing squads all the way to August, we're gonna get punk'd in November.

Hillary needs to drop out - she's too far behind in delegates to be able to catch up. For the good of the party and the country. (Though I'm making a big assumption that she actually cares about the good of the party and the country.)

10. Just read Leahy's statement that Unsane posted:
Sen. Leahy: Clinton should drop out.

Per Vermont Public Radio. Says McCain's recent gaffs are getting a free pass because Obama is having to fight off Clinton.

Good point about McCann getting a pass on the gaffes because all eyes are turned to our little war. (Although, I'm sure there will be McCain gaffes o'plenty as we progress.)

I also just heard someone on NPR explaining why it was ALMOST impossible for Hillary to win mathematically, so...

But I'm voting -- let it play out. She has the right, she has strong support, and if she stays in until SHE decides to withdraw, Obama/the Party can't be blamed for 'forcing' her out.

I also read another post that she's pretty much broke. If that's accurate, that will be the deciding factor more than anything.

13. If she stays Pennsylavania will be the deciding state
If she doesn't get the votes she needs to win the nomination then she'll drop out

14. Normally I'd say "not so sure"
because I don't see her going gently into the night. But at this point, money may be the deciding factor. You can't put a spin on not having the funds.
