LOL...CAN you imagine if Obama was behind like Hillary is.....

[KansasVoter]

Can you imaging what the Clintons would be saying??

They would be whining about Obama not quitting EVERYDAY.

The MSM would have a daily story about "Why is Obama still in this race!"

Her camp would have every talking head whining about how Obama is hurting the party.

But Obama is keeping cool and not telling her to quit.

I GUARANTEE that the complaining about Obama staying in the race would be 1000 times worse than it is now for Hillary.

People are giving Hillary a break because she is "Hillary"

I am so sick of people acting like Obama has had an easy ride in this election.

[meow mix]

1. the clamour would be deafening.

:scared:

[Deja Q]

2. But Obama is keeping cool and not telling her to quit.

Encouraging competition... seems rather in-character, I must say. :thumbsup:

5. Yes, Obama has class

I wish some of his class would rub off on some of his DU supporters

It's much better to treat Hillary and her supporters respectfully--as a winner with class should do. That's the way to win Clinton supporters over in the general. As for Hillary, she has already said she would support Obama in the fall if (which will soon be when) he is the nominee.

[TBF]

19. Obama is just letting her hang herself. Much more effective.

[cliffordu]

24. That's Grace Slick on the 'Tonight Show' (J. Carson), right??

Maybe Mike Douglas?? Dick Cavett?

[my3boyz]

3. Obama would not still be in the race! He would put the party first. nt

[Oleladylib]

8. I don't think they believe in"Saints" ...do they?

[MonkeyFunk]

4. Yeah, that's how politics works

First election for you, is it?

[JimGinPA]

6. Had He Lost 12 Contests In A Row They Would Have Been Screaming Hourly Because He Was Still In...

Much less were positions reversed now.

[Oleladylib]

7. His ride will get very bumpy when he contends with McCain...

and then the Obamamites will be whinin'...

[davsand]

13. We expect that Republicans will lie. Kinda sucks to see Dems do it.

[here_is_to_hope]

17. You realize that you live here too, right? n/t

[rocktivity]

9. Of course we can't imagine it

Obama would have smart enough to dropped out by now and put himself first in line for either a '08 VP slot or a 2012 run.

:headbang:

10. In baseball they call them errors, he is winning because she/Penn dropped the ball and let him score

Partly, he is also winning because he has the right message for the right time. Partisan deadlock does not work and the peole realize that.

[rock]

11. Yes, amazing

that all these "what ifs" are exactly what the Obama supporters would predict. Without a shred of proof. Amazing.

[crankychatter]

12. I don't know if that's a racial double standard... but it's definitely a double standard - n/t

it's crazy makin'

[ClassWarrior]

14. She BRAGGED that the race would be over by February.

So much for letting all the voters have their say.

NGU.

You wrote:

Have you ever stopped to wonder as to the details of his decision? It's not only because Obama has character, but he can see the whole forest and not just a tree.

You just can not realistically laugh off Hillary's numbers; it would be foolish to do so.

And Barack has to keep an eye on his numbers this summer, because he may very well have to embrace her more ways than one before the convention.

[crankychatter]

16. I wouldn't want five minutes between Sen Clinton's ears

friggin scary

[Forkboy]

18. Both sides would be acting like the other.

[ClassWarrior]

20. No, Obama would have been gracious and respectful of the nominee...

...and would have suspended his campaign.

NGU.

[Forkboy]

26. I meant the supporters.

No offense, it's human nature. I've seen the same dynamic is every campaign I've followed at pretty much every level.

[ClassWarrior]

28. I doubt Obama's supporters would have acted with such a sense of entitlement...

...especially since many of us began as Edwards supporters or supporters of other candidates.

NGU.

[BlooInBloo]

21. Um, he would've gotten out already.

[Overseas]

22. EXACTLY ! WELL SAID !! n/t

[gulfcoastliberal]

23. K&R

Excellent observation.

[KaptBunnyPants]

25. Obama would not still be running.

No one else would still be campaigning if they found themselves in Hillary's position.

[Clear Blue Sky]

27. Quite right.
