Pressure builds on Clinton to drop out

Is this ther same Hillary Clinton that used US Military personnel as servants during WhiteHouse Dinners and parties???
For shame!

If these guys are confirmed Obama supporters, I rather doubt that Clinton would be feeling pressure from them at all.

'bout time! Sen. Clinton is a great American, but I think she and former President Clinton should think about the Party not themselves.

NO,no,NO TO CLINTON WITHDRAWAL.

Hillary Clinton should gracefully withdraw and not be a dog in the manger.

THE PARTY WILL NOT BE UNITED WITH OBAMA AS NOMINEE.

He is the most divisive force to rip apart the Dem party in ages.

The Dem.s are squandering this nearly certain, rare opportunity to grab the White House.

Obama will NEVER win the general election. The only reason he has so many delegates is because the media went easy on him due to the racial aspect, and bad stuff about him came out late in the game - more unsavory truths waboutoObama will

Moreover, Clinton supporters will flee to McCain [us included.]

Yep. Demoralize. That's the word. I hope Obama wins and is elected President.

Clinton is hallucinating. She created sniper fire when there was none. As a commander-in-chief she will hallucinate in the middle of the night when the phone rings about North Korea and Iran pointing missiles at us. I don't feel safe giving her the codes to our nuclear arsenal.

That is a great idea! The democratic party cannot take this protracted in fighting. The superdelagates should end this thing before it bloodies both canditates.

Many young people in the democratic party are disinfranchised by the structure of the democratic nomination process. If the superdelagetes take a proactive roll in deciding this thing early; the process will make a lot more sense to the youth of this nation.

Clinton supporters are poised to flee the Dem party - and in numbers far exceeding 28% as recent polls show

We've had enough sexist bashing, while every red herring racial outcry is treated with deep reverence.

CLINTON'S PLAN:

1. SENATE to Hillary in exchange for White House S3X

2. 2000, Al Gore was not supported enough by Bill as he is TOO BUSY Cooking a VICTORY for Hillary in exchange for White House S3X

3. 2001, Hillary VOTED for WAR so Bush gets backlash on WAR latter which is usual and can be used for herself

4. 2004, Kerry was not supported early by Clinton or his Wing as Billary had plans for 2008 which succeed only if Bush wins

5. 2008, Billary tried hard and CONCEDED a loss but not PUBLICLY. The plan is to make sure McS(h)ame get the Win so she has 2012 full secured chance as Failure of "YES WE CAN" means Voters of RACES,REGIONS,PARTIES will loose faith and not turnout to vote.

AFTER ALL, THAT IS CLINTON.

Bright side of the story is, if You don't see OBAMA, VOTE McS(h)ame so you don't need to be ASHAMED OF in front of WORLD like BUSH made you.

SHE SHOW HOW IMMATURE SHE IS THINKING PRESIDENCY IS INSTANT DECISION MAKING AT 3AM.

WHEN WILL SHE KNOW THAT LEADERSHIP MEANS LISTENING!!

OFCOURSE, SHE DOES NOT EVEN BELIEVE THAT LEADER CAN CHANGE COURSE WITH WARNINGS BUT NOT LIE LIE LIE like she is doing on every aspect:
Monica's
Bosnia
NAFTA
Dream-Ticket
Super-Deligates
Pledged-Deligates
IRAQ WAR VOTE
ITALY PEACE.
Falling Back on Wright
Falling back on FL, MI
Not Telling TRUTH to Chelsey about how she let Bill have PLEASURES in front of her.

Infact, Her whole campaign took a U-TURN to "CHANGE" banwagon after seeing Obama's success.

a CLINTON can do ANYTHING (I MEAN "ANYTHING") to get "THIER" property (WHITE HOUSE) BACK.

Clinton's have no chance and it is to be taken with High respect and Concede the loss and negotiate with Obama in return and Obama should not believe in their commitment.

Earlier resolution is stupid.

People starts knowing more about Obama, more and more are regretting voting for him.

I am surprised to see American are willing to be manipulated by this man.

Let the game continue.

Why should she give up??

Obama will not win without the superdelegates either.

As part of the leadership of the Democratic party, it is Howard Dean's responsibility to bring this race to a close immediately after Pennsylvania. You almost get a sense that the democratic leadership is intimadated by the Clintons, and can't seem to take a decisive step and tell Hillary it is time to unite behind Obama. It is obvious what her agenda is, anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that.
One thing about Republicans, they are decisive, and you certainly wouldn't have Hillary still running in a race she can't win. No wonder we can't seem to put it together. I can guarantee you, if Hilary was in Obama's position, the party would have called this race and rallied behind her. Dean and his cohorts need to get som Chutzpah.

It has already imploded. I'm changing over to Ralf Nader. Maybe poeple will get the message that the 2-party system is about as good for democracy as getting rid of Sadam.

If people really want to end the bitter in-fighting and unite the party, they should come out, endorse, and vote for the person, who has the most delegates, popular vote, and states: The should support Obama.

[ Supporting the runner up would only protract the conflict. ]

Sen. Clinton is'nt interested in anything but herself and power ( the hell with the U.S.A. ) I'm a rep. and I will vote rep if Cinton is allowed to pull a Bush. I'll vote for OBAMA over McCain and McCain over Clinton

Boo. Why bother to have a nominating process if "senior" politicians want to scuttle the process.

We saw the same "leaders" disavow Michigan and Florida votes becasue they were "too early" but now they want an "early" resolution.

What hypocrites.

It appears that the democratic "leadership" wants to cheat.

I will be

Hillary Clinton is acting like some spoiled rich kid who thinks she is "entitled" to the White House. She is cares more for her own ego, than she does for the Democratic Party.

Clinton is the right person for the USA.I think the people of america will give vote for Hillary.She have experience and solucions for any problems.Obama is a child behind the Hillary idea's.It's very clear that Hillary is the only candidate that give as a beter life and more strong economic.
Go Clinton GO

Patrick Leahy of Vermont must be worried that Hillary will win over the Muslim terrorist Obama or he'd not have made the comment he did. I am so sick of simple minded Americans who only want Obama because he is supported by Oprah or because the Anti-Christ will somehow make the word such a better place. Most of them are kids who never voted before and have no clue about issues or the way government works. I was so right about George W Bush before he was even elected the 1st time, and mark my words I am right about Obama too. Wake up America! I am as liberal as they come and I don't really want 4 more years of this war in Iraq, but I will not hesitate to vote for McCain in a heartbeat if Obama is the Democratic winner. Hopefully he will slip up soon. He's not a saint! And if this doesn't get posted, I'll know that you are simpleminded as well.

Yeah, I remember Bush putting that kind of pressure on Gore in 2000. Do democrats even know who the heck we are anymore?

We have the dilemma and the real possibility of the popular vote and the delegate vote not matching, and we all know how democrats felt about that a few years ago.

I think after this mess is over, we've got to get election reform. I like Sen. Nelson's proposal, because it does address having the primaries on different dates, thus bringing the candidates to the small states, etc., without it being the stupid, random, senseless idiocy it is now. http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/story.aspx?content_id=153bebbd-ae1f-4242-93d2-c1a93d052976 This isn't 1808, it's 2008. We're not communicating by carrier pigeon and traveling by mule. We don't NEED delegates and electoral colleges and caucuses anymore. One person, one vote - simple, fair accurate democracy. How much more of this are we going to stand for before we take back our elections?

hello: given the resume padding- non-existent bullets in bosnia, bringing peace in ireland and more- plus the clintons' kitchen sink strategy, the clinton backer threat to defund their own people and so much more, seems the clintons will do anything and stop at nothing to win- even when it's clearly not going to happen; the upshot?: obama wins and clinton continues to undercut, never wholeheartedly endorsing, new grand stategy being that she not too subtly helps obama lose in the general and wins herself next time around

Yeah, I remember Bush putting that kind of pressure on Gore in 2000. Do democrats even know how they are anymore?

Now I am seeing first hand what the Republicans have seen all along regarding the Clintons. They only care about one thing...themselves! If the Clintons had any concern about the Democratic Party or it's unity, Hillary would do the right thing and gracefully drop out and help unite our Party for the big fight this fall. I am extremely disappointed with Hillary and the feelings of past admiration for her and Bill have all but evaporated.

Pleeeeease..... Don't push Hillary "sniper-fire" Clinton out of the race until she releases her tax returns.

I want to know where she made her millions.
I want to know who paid her, for her senate votes.
I want to know who clintons paid to murder Vince Foster.

It's a shame that the Democrats, who seemingly had a shoo-in chance of electing the next President, have probably shot themselves in the foot by extending the protracted fighting between their two candidates. I normally vote as a fairly conservative Independent but was in hopes of a more viable Democratic candidate than the Republicans are offering. I don't now see that happening. I sure would like to see a candidate (neither party came up with one) that would be a fiscal conservative with a somewhat liberal social agenda but I guess it won't happen in this election. It would have been nice to be able to vote for a candidate that did not believe in legislating morals i.e. "Right to Life" or eliminating "Right to Die" and who would want to limit spending to what our income is.

Silly.

Dem leaders can't see beyond the tips of their short noses
nor plan beyond next move on chessboard.

Both Hillary and Obama are damaged wounded goods.
For the good of country and party too - not important but imperative that
white house is wrested away from GOP and almost irrepairable damage
they are doing to Constitution and every American's belief that our country
has an obligation to represent decency, justice and the desrved respect of
mankind.

Answer - while not without flaws - is out there, but requires leadership
of statesmen caring more for fate of country and world, than politicians
who narrowly focus on their own partisan electoral prospects

It is Gore! or perhaps, Gore-Obama! recognizing that his inspring
primary season was not an idle effort waged in vain.

Wake up Dem superdelegates! Make it happen before extending the Bush
governance disaster. We are in danger of seeing America become a memory of
what it once was and go off course from ideals that governed goals
destined to give meaning to our historical experiment in shaping
world's greatest opportunity to create a just humane society with respect
for all families of man.

We've dug a ditch these last 8 years, before it becomes a deep hole it is imperative we empower a new leadership to start America on a way up again.

bernard

agree, Clinton needs to step aside and support Obama...unfortunately I think she is too selfish and competitive to do that for the good of all.

At the rate things are going, the Dem party looks like it's ripping at the seams.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is not about to "throw in the towel"! You must realize that in the Clinton's mind-set, this race is all about them. Both Bill and Hillary and now Chelsea relish the limelight. You must also remember that Bill and Hillary are from the 'ME" generation, (my generaton actually), I am sorry to say.

Hillary's quest is to become the first "woman" President of the United States. She wants her name in the history books for all time. This is what drives her and it is also what drove Bill Clinton. It is not so much about the direction and future of America as it is about the Clinton's selfishness. She is ruthless and cold hearted. One must look beyond the sensitive photo-ops that she displays before the camera and the shallow words she utters in her speeches.

We are in troubled times, but, we have seen bad times in this country and as a people we are able to rise above our misfortunes and come back strong again. Hillary Rodham Clinton does not have the experience or temperment to address the multitude of problems that exist around the world and more specifically here at home. Neither does Barack Obama, but the Democrats need a leader that can unite not just the Democratic Party, but who has the ability to unite all Americans behind a common endeavor. Had the Democratic Party been more insightful, they would have supported Joe Biden, (a man with a wealth of experience in both foreign policy and economic issues), but, the electorate decided they wanted to buy into this "Change, Hope, Let's Make History" rhetoric and they will find themselves losing come next November to Sen. John McCain.

Obviously, America could do worse!

When Clinton supporters tell her it's time to withdraw, then I will listen. Until then, however, she should fight on. Maybe Obama should withdraw!

Democrats top leaders are guilty by inaction, They have selective blindness and deafness to the lack of discipline and erratic behavior that Mrs. Clinton is exhibiting in this campaing, it is an insult to the intelligence of the american people by tolerating the threats of this woman to go to a convention when she has awarness that the economy is sensible to race that equal poverty and social class, This woman has no capability to discern the flow of her campaign, her distorted perception of reality lead her to a tunnel vision to seek only what is in her best interest and not in the best interest of the country. I only hope that her unrelistic expectations do not leads her to an irresposable regretable act.

She is setting a bad example to american workers that it is ok to revolt even if the
cause is irrational, if this woman was my employee, I wood discipline her a long time ago. How are we going to hire a president with this type of resume? She is not receptive, she does not negociate......should we trust her with trillions of dollars, if you senators are unable to deal with this woman now, how do you plantto control any irrational decision in thie future?

The Clintons thrive on division and scandal. It becomes a game of wits as they spin their lies and twist the facts. Hillary supporters talking points appear to be to accuse everyone else of what Hillary is guilty of and confuse the "ignorant masses".
It hasn't worked this time because even the "ignorant masses" can see Hillary has betrayed her party. Knowing she can't win, Hillary has tried to destroy a fellow Democrat as she elevates the Republican candidate. Hillary will try to sacrifice the Democrats and push one term McCain in the GE to make herself the 2012 candidate

It's clear that neither candidate's supporters candidates are ready to see them throw in the towel. The one silver lining is that the competitive primary is energizing the Democratic voter registration drives in the remaining states. If these new voters can be induced to vote in the general election, that's very good for the Democratic party.

ABC’s Jake Tapper reported on an unnamed Democratic Party official saying that it's not a question of *if* Clinton can somehow secure the nomination. The question is -- what will she have to do in order to achieve it? The official's answer: She will have to "break his back," to destroy Obama and make him completely unacceptable. "Her securing the nomination is certainly possible - but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option.'" the official said. Read full story here - http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/dnc-official-cl.html).

As the Clinton campaign spins Obama as actually being the reprehensibly negative player in this competition, and the media swallowing and regurgitating the most incendiary non-issues, (consider today's self-righteous "all I know is that if it were me personally, I would have left that church), I fear for the future of Obama's campaign, of the Democratic party, and the United States. I'm afraid we can't take another two months of the destructive Clinton ambition machine. Please contact the Democratic National Committee (http://www.democrats.org/page/s/contactissues) and let the party leaders no that we can't waste any more time; the train is nearing the bridge that's out, and it takes a lot to stop that kind of fateful momentum. Super delegates must decide *now*, not in August, to swing behind the best candidate in our generation so that the Democratic Party can look forward to the general election in November and beyond.

Cannot for the life of me see how anyone can vote for Obama when he hates white people. Then we have a woman that lies about being in the line of fire and that seems ok. Then there is that bucket of bolts McCain (who backs illegal immigration and calls it amnesty) who is nothing more than a poster boy for AIPAC and israeli interests in the USA (who by the way should be on patrol in Iraq--but are getting the oil money and untold trillion out of the US) so this is one dead election. Top that with the Bush Crime Family going in to Iran and we have us one heck of a bad situation in America.

The real issue is not that Clinton should be forced to stop running. Instead, if she keeps up the fight, she needs to stop running the kind of dirty campaign she has been running.
However, enough people know her well enough to realize she will NOT stop the scorched earth campaign unless she actually stops running. No, she's not Huckabee, but Huckabee never stooped to the kind of tactics that she has.

I do not want Obama to be the candidate. I have voted the Democrat ticket since I was first allowed to vote in 1972. This is the first time I have had serious, fearful concerns about a Democratic candidate. I do not trust B.O. I believe he is being backed by very questionable sources that will use him as a puppet the way the Neocons have used Bush as a puppet. I believe he is entirely ambitioious the way Bush has been. B.O. is using the sway of his words to influence and move voters the way Reagan was able to do. Just to smooth and righteously, arrogant.
I know little of his background and experience, only what he has portrayed in his speeches, just a little too novelish to me...I know what I am getting with the Clintons, their good, bad, and ugly. I know what Hillary can get accomplished even in her abrasive way, but it is her. I hope she does take it to the floor and I hope more comes out about Obama's backers and background, it needs too, the good, bad and ugly, unless he is planning on sainthood...

Most people can not tell you an ACCOMPLISHMENT of Senator Obama's, ask them....good speaker, uniter.... are not accomplishments, those are traits/talents if you will and very good ones but, what are his accomplishments?

We know where he wants to TAKE us, we don't know where he HAS BEEN, and knowing where he has been or DONE in the past let's us know he would know how to drive and how to GET us there. Experience=driver's ed. so that we don't have to stay on the side walk!!!!

I admire that he tells us what he WANTS to do, but I want to know what he resume' says, would you hire someone with a minimal resume, over someone with a solid resume?

Well put Dave... Hillary is a lying, sleazy, greedy, selfish loser who America is completely sick of. I can only hope that the DNP will force her out of the race. If, by some insane set of circumstances, she actually becomes the nominee I'll vote Republican for the rest of my life. The DNP splintered during the last election with disasterous results, and now Hillary is in there like a metastisizing (sp?) tumor and will have the same effect on the DNP.

The DUMBING OF AMERICA! So this is what our great nation has come to: voting for a presidential candidate based on (1) his being Black, (2) having no national experience, (3) having a hateful pastor as mentor, (3) being Afro-centric Christian, with radical Muslim brothers, and (4) associating with a whole slew of shady people like Rezko, Farrakhan, Sinclair and Ayers. Wow! Obamabots are going about their political business in total DENIAL, as if nothing of significance has been revealed about their candidate. We didn't learn anything from the Bush Jr. years? Let's put another one on training wheels for the presidency - afterall, it's only the most powerful position in the world. NO, Senator Clinton must not withdraw!

It's amazing she has gotten so far in politics in the first place, that just shows you how corrupt the whole system has become. Some of you people might need a refresher course, like watching the old Clinton Chronicles video. One could also just look into the Rotham family to see how she got her start in the political scene. Who are you voting for, and what do you really know about them you should really ask yourself that question or leave voting up to more informed individuals.

This issue is absurd. A candidate can continue their run as long as they like, and so long as they have the money there is no need to drop out while they still have a chance. The odds may be steep, but there is still a chance (what if some new info comes out tomorrow that sinks Obama and gives Hillary her 60-70% margins), so the Obama supporters should just quiet down and let the process continue, unless they want to propose that their candidate step aside (since proposing that the other candidate step aside is clearly self-serving).

Btw, I notice that after mentioning that this race shouldn't include attacks, Obama includes attacks against Bill Clinton's presidency in his economic speech. I personally have no problem with that, but if that's acceptable (when Obama wasn't even asked a question about Bill Clinton) than I don't see why Hillary can't answer a question about Wright. Of course, Obama is then free to answer questions about Bosnia (but as his campaign is already talking about it, it's not like that would be a big deal).

Also, I find it ironic that after the Obama campaign quietly put to rest Hillary's hopes in Michigan/Florida (when he could easily have accepted a slight swing of that sort in Hillary's favor), everyone is largely agreed that Hillary's only remaining hope is to create the impression that Obama can't win in November (a strategy, btw, that the Obama campaign began against Hillary at least as far back as October when he started the "Clinton's are divisive" comments). Thus Obama has created the situation in which Hillary might have to at least make passing reference to the Wright issue, which still hangs around Obama's neck and will almost certainly be a big factor in the general election.

Obama should be trying to win-over the 28% of Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain. The way to do it isn't to smear Bill Clinton's presidency nor to have surrogates push for an end to the campaign (which runs the risk of leaving the impression with Hillary supporters that she was robbed -- fair or not).

Let's all try to calm down and let this thing play out. Obama and his supporters should be extremely happy with their situation (whereas they seem to be afraid and angry -- and rather eager to prevent the rest of the states, particulary PA, from having their say).

Hillary needs to pull out. She has worked harder than anyone I have ever seen to manipulate, lie and coerce in order to get ahead - and she's still not ahead. People are truly tired of the Clinton steam roller coming through. They threaten, and twist information, this is as natural as breathing for them. I am an Obama supporter but I will admit that I wasn't always. I was at one time leaning towards Hillary. What this battle has provided, was an opportunity for me to really see her for who she is, and I don't like it. I have never ever felt that Bill Clinton should be back in the white house and now it is my believe that she should not either. She does not exhibit the personal ethics, nor the ability to pull this country back together. I think if nothing more the polls regarding how Americans see her honesty should be all the delegates need to put this to rest.

More evidence that Hillary is actually Republican.

RUN BILLARY, RUN!

I want to see this girl take this issue up to the very last moment of the convention so that in the end everyone can say it was the Clintons who destroyed the Democratic party and any chance that Obama had to become president.

Hillary's only practical governing experience has been as a senator for NY (about 8 years). Before that, she was Bills WIFE. She has never managed a large corporation as CEO, had to meet payroll, and governed a state, county, city, or any other government body. Obama on the other hand has less experience, and only knows how to vote "Present" when the actual phrase should be either "Yea" or "Nea"

For the life of me, I cannot see what the masses are orgasmic about when it comes to these two candidates, and Al Gore is the LAST PERSON we need in the Whitehouse.

Everyone complains about Bush and how he lied, but his decisions were based on bad intelligence, which isn’t that rare of an event. As a historian with a Ph.D., I could quote chapter and verse about how many world leaders in the last 100 years have made the same decisions based on the best available intelligence. Can anyone say Gulf of Tonken (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070602011441AAwoAUU)?

Get over it.

McCain may not be the best candidate anyone would want, but compared to these two cowboys he at least knows how to make tough decisions, knows the difference between illusionary and actual sniper fire, and will put the interests of the USA before those of any other nation. As General Omar Bradley stated "true leadership is taking maximum personal risk for minimal personal gain..."

Both of these candidates are cut from the same bolt of cloth and are self-centered to the point of self –destruction. It’s like watching two lobsters in a pot pulling each other down into the boiling water just to make sure the other one doesn’t survive.

What’s that Cindy Lauper song….Oh yea True Colors

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Please, Hillary, just go.

Now is the time for the neo-man with new ideas of change.
Yes. BuhLack UsBuma is that neo-man.
He can smile.
He can say yes to undying support for Israel.
He can open wide. WIDE. to all non-european people.

Please,Hillary. Go back to stealing money.

The way this media has trashed everybody Im going to vote for mike gravel now or Mcain if obama gets the nomination

Hillary's Dad should have withdrawn.

Ron Paul 2008!

Well, NEITHER one of them has any experience (neither EVER ran ANYTHING) and both are UNQUALIFIED to be the Commander in Chief. Why should she get out? He's just as unqualified as she is? Both seem to be on a crash course to drive our country into Euro-socialism a la France. Who really thinks that is preferable to what we have now?

Hillary is only a potential nominee because she is the wife of a former president. She's as qualifed as Laura Bush -- that is, not at all (well, maybe a tad more due to a few years as a senator). If she was just Sen. Jones from NY nobody would even be considering her for President.

And Obama was only a state legislator two years ago. He's very young. Let him get some experience and let's observe him for awhile. He can run again in 8 or 16 years. He'll still be younger than John McCain is now.

Further, Obama's church is very racist and divisive. He has endorsed this hateful mindset by failing to divorce himself from that hateful preacher (his mentor and spiritual leader) and the radical church. It goes to his judgment. It shows a lack of wisdom and it makes him appear unready to hold the reins of power of the greatest nation on earth.

Even more scary is how anti-Ameirican his friend and church seems to be.

I think we need to beware of the enemy within. The enemies abroad are already trying to kill us all, why speed it up by handing the keys to someone who doesn't believe in our survival? I'm not saying Obama is as radical or dangerous as his pastor seems to be, but who really knows what he really thinks? He's gone squirelly on the the whole topic and it's hard to judge. His recent disavowment of it all seems very contrived and untrustworthy. Let's watch and see. Too early. Too risky to hand Obama our keys just yet. Let's not be stupid, people.

McCain -- even though I dont really like him either -- is the ONLY grown-up in this bunch and the ONLY candidate who will keep us safe and will keep our country on the right track for now.

Hillary, it's over. Quit acting like a spoiled child. I agree that Clinton supporters threats to vote for McCain show that she is indeed a Republican.

Hillary: clap, clap, point ,point ,and hasta luego! Your pants suits are ready at the cleaners.

I will tell you the same thing I told the RNC when they came knockin'. All these people are bought and paid for! Pick AIPAC, CFR, Bilderberers or others of the same ilk. A true PATRIOT can see through this and realize the corrupt circus with its intended results. The MSM enforces this overall fiasco at all our costs and peril. Do you get it yet? Or will it take "more of the same" or the "lessor of three evils" (in this case) to drive it home! Wake up!

I believe that the only possibility Hillary has of becoming a respected elder
statesman (statesperson) and of a future in national and world politics
is to do what would probably be the toughest and perhaps best thing
she's ever done. And that would be to sacrifice her ambition for the
presidency in 2008 for the good of her party, her country, and even the world.
If done with the grace and wisdom that she is undoubtedly capable of,
she would be transformed from an ethically questionable fighter in this
tragic civil war to a virtually heroic figure. Let us hope that she can find
the strength, the courage and the wisdom to do so. Alan B.

These are the best America has to offer? Clinton, Obama and McCain are three sock-puppets. You guys need to wake up. This country is in peril. Our rights have been eviscerated and our economy is crashing. We are hated throughout the world. Our foreign policy is a scam and our borders are unprotected. Do you really think it matters which one of these traitors becomes president?

Ron Paul................Hope for America

Yeah, I believe Hillary should leave so that a guy who sat in a church for twenty years and listened to a black racist preacher--but who was not in the least affected by any of it--can have a chance tobecome President. Some of you liberals are hands down, unequivocally, more demented than any radical conservative I have ever met-- and I'm not one of them.

To all the Obama supporters out there. It looks like if Obama not get the presidency, a new terrorist group will be found. No wonder he goes to church like Trinity. It is that kind of church where hatre and extremelist are born.
To all the Americans: If it is not the constitution of United States, I bet Bill Clinton would be still the President for the last 8 years. If then...the Iraq War would be never happen;the government would have budget surplus; the government would be able to save the mortgage crisis in a serious mannor....
So why don't we give the Clintons another chance. If they can't do is, who will?
Think carefully, what exactly Obama can CHANGE in D.C. The consistitiution of United state of America? The President is replaced every 4 or 8 years, but game of Wagshinton doesn't change. At least Hilary knows how to play the game better and get things done!

My appeal is to Clinton supporters. If a person lacks integrity, i.e. honesty, as Hillary has shown on Bosnia, it's simply a matter of time before their downfall. We cannot afford to look the other way and bury our heads in the sand. If we do, our country will pay for it. Our country cannot afford her. Siding with misrepresentation is not a risk, it is a certain loss. So, even if Hillary goes on and becomes president of this country, our country still loses. If this type of behavior is repeated, it's just a matter of time before our country plummets to a new low. It’s now our responsibility to take responsibility for our future.

hilary clinton is an ice cold snake, who along with her equally snake-like husband, will stop at nothing to cling to power, without doing anything meaningful for regular people than bush, cheney, bush, quayle, reagan, bush et al. these people could care less about us and will say or do anything, even as their actions and words destroy the democratic party's chances against mccain. get out clinton and make way for newcomer obama, whom people admire and respect. the american people are not your subjects and we don not owe you or another bush anything!

Well said Leahy! It's about time that somebody spoke loud and clear. She definitely should drop out and graciously, though this seems unlikely, throw or at least try to appear to throw her support behind Obama. It seems that the Party has, more or less, decided to give it to Obama.

Well, I don't see how anyone who has really watched McCain over the years and the way he is acting now can see anything but Bush-III on the horizon if he is elected. How is falling lock stock and barrel into the waiting arms of the 'current occupant' and parroting everything given to him in any way being heroic?

I was skeptical of Senator Obama early on, but his efforts to sincerely listen and bring out the truth of things in the country is compelling. It won't convince any cynics out there, if anything they'll be more convinced he's a fraud. But it seems to me there was another junior congressman from Illinois in our country's history in a not-so-different circumstance, who was also a gifted orator, also lacking in 'experience' when he ran for office, and who happened to save the nation from certain self-destruction. It's hard for me not to be reminded of that when Obama is consistently putting forth very similar themes and requests to his listeners in his speeches. (Geez, could we even recognize Lincoln if he were alive today?)

As for Hilary, whom this article is centered around; if you scratch beneath the surface, beyond all the media fury, and actually look around and talk to people, much of the perception of it being a close race is really being whipped up by media sentiment and interest in keeping a story going. Add to this Hilary's unrelenting efforts to bend and go around the rules established by her party and quietly defame her opponent (worse than open confrontation) in order to get the nomination at all costs, including that of the health of her party. Maybe she really is a Republican. It would certainly mean 32-36 years straight of Clintons and Bushes up in one of the two highest offices in the land, something that is bothering me more and more as think about it.

I'm for Obama. Clinton made an unforgivable mistake with Iraq and has to face the consequences. Millions of Iraqis already have.

However... the primary must be played by the rules of the party. Obama doesn't yet have the numbers. If the party needs to finish the primaries earlier, let them change the rules next time round. Hundreds of superdelegates are sitting on the fence for a purpose. Obama should try to convince them, not the Clinton team.

obama, clinton, mccain, all members of council on foreign relations, a private group of elites determined to destroy our national sovereignty, constitution and national currency. all are rothschild puppets wearing different costumes on the same team. none of the candidates except 1, address the real issues at hand, like our freedom, privacy and habeus corpus re-instatement. resist the north american union, the "amero", the war on terror is a fraud! CIA playing both sides of the war. who is on YOUR side? presidential candidate RON PAUL!! he is still in the race and will win with your vote. tired of phony wars? of being broke or barely making it? what about your childrens future?? ron paul can set us back in the right direction, with harmony AND integrity for all american patriots!!

I’m a strong Obama supporter, but I believe at this point, it would be the worst thing possible for him if Clinton withdrew from the race. With the race as close as it’s been, I think he needs the legitimacy of beating her fair and square on delegates (including the supers). I think her supporters will be more likely to support him in the fall if they feel their candidate got a fair shot, and lost fair and square.

I’m not worried about this hurting Obama or helping McCain. He has to fight until November anyway, so why not fight against Clinton right now? We’ll have plenty of time in August, September, October and November for the general election fight.

The Sinclair vs Obama story, all over the network, will soon hit the major news, and Obama will be stopped in his tracks! I'm sure that Hillary knows this, and will be more than ready to take over, when this happens, and become the next President!

Clinton is an arrogant lady.

Now I see why Bill Clinton went for Monika Lewinsky.

Obama's hope-change campaign is a farce, what lies beneath is ugly:

Be careful what you wish for Obamabots, you just might get it.

And Hillary should listen to Patrick Leahy why? This is a man that's been in the Senate longer than I've been alive and he thinks its time for America to embrace Obama and his "change" agenda? Pulleeez...........Stay right where you are Mrs. Clinton - there are still a lot of us that want to vote for you in the primary and then into the White House!!

For "educated" Obama backer: please do not use dirty words and be civilized. Let's just calm down and wait for the final outcome Thank you!

Clinton and Obama's REAL plan: get McCain elected president so he can make a fool of himself in the White House and the two can have the Senate to their party with a good deal of influence. that way, dems in 2012

I CALL FOR BARACK OBAMA TO QUIT THE RACE.

THE GOP WILL DESTROY THIS MAN AND HE WILL NEVER WIN THE NOMINATION AGAINST MCCAIN. THE ONLY PERSON WHOSE DIRTY LAUNDRY WE DO KNOW AND THENSOME IS HILLARY's AND SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT JOHN MCCAIN. OBAMA WILL BE CASTRATED BY THE KARL ROVES AND GOP STRATEGISTS, HE SHOULD DROP OUT OF THE RACE otherwise here come the republicans once again

The europeans say the americans are stupid, now i know why. Look who they have for president now, And who they want to elect for the next president.

LOL.

Obama M IGHT be a NWO shill, but Hillery DEFINITELY is....She has NOTHING to offer the american people and is as much a criminal as the all the rest of the congress and senate. Hillery = more of the same elite plan of domination. Isn't this painfully obvious to everyone yet (or do we still need to rub MORE sleep out of eyes?)

Hillary Clinton is a terrible Zionist and should withdraw from the race for the good of the nation and the world.

Perhaps she can run for election is Israel.

How dare anyone that tries to coerce Senator Clinto to drop out of the race.

The party complains when voters are uninvolved and apathetic and now they are complaining over a very close race with high involvement and emotion on the part of the candidates and their respective supporters.

It will divide the party more if they try to strong-arm Senator Clinton into pulling out. I am a strong supporter of hers and if they pressure her to quit or attempt to it will make me less apt to vote for Obama (if he is the ultimate nominee) not more.

This contest is not over, everyone needs to let it play out and quit trying to circumvent the electoral process that this country has in place. If you don't like the process - change the process, but don't try to force the outcome to serve your purpose.

Hillary has demonstrated disingenuous and absolute selfish ambitions. I do not ever expect to see her stepping aside without an open confrontation. She's the best free-be the Republicans ever had.

Well unless Hillary gets the nomination, after all the smear, bait and switch lies and games Obama has used, even stooping to calling the Clintons racist? I am DONE with the Democrats after this and many years as a fighter for this party. I will vote for Nader in November if Obama wins this nomination. Obama and his sleazy supporters will never represent me and the Democratic values I was raised with. Today's Democrats are useless, clueless, back stabbing, unappreciative, disorganized FOOLS who have vilified the Clintons, our proudest and most successful party representatives. It is time to disassociate with these idiots supporting Obama and the biased Democrat "leaders" running our party into the ground. OBAMA started all the infighting among Dems in '07 and his preacher / mentor is a RACIST!! I AM DONE WITH THIS UNETHICAL CUT THROAT PARTY. GO HILLARY!! ALL THE WAY!! DO NOT BACK DOWN!!

We are in BIG trouble!! No difference between any of the candidates, they all have masters & handlers. All good ole boys behind closed doors & wouldn't spend the gas money on any of them. The winner is not determined at the Polls, those that count the votes determine the winner

Wow, no wonder the US is viewed in such an unfavorable way by other countries. This country is so divided and the citizens are so hateful that perhaps it should take away the 'United" and instead replace it with "Divided" It amazes that Obama has lied about his accomplishments in Congress, about his knowledge that he was present when Reverend Wright said those hate speeches, and in the eyes of idol worshipping supporters, he can do no wrong. My advice to Hillary Clinton, is "Don't Give In to Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Leahy, Bob Casey, Bill Judas Richardson, John Loser Kerry, and Ted Backstabber Kennedy. Fight to the finish, and forget about tearing apart the party. The democrats have designed their primary this way and neither candidate has the number of pledged delegates to cinch the nomination. If the Big Wigs in the Democratic party were so concerned about the Republican candidate being able to choose their candidate early, then they should have designed the primaries with winner take all.Then they would have had their nominee a long time ago. There are about 10 more States,excluding Fla and MI who want to have a chance to select the candidate. If Hillary drops out now, in order to unify the Democratic party, that does not mean that all of her supporters will automatically support Obama, even if she begs them to. In addition the people who say they cannot forgive Clinton for her Iraq vote need to look to the future and consider how to bring the troops home. Also Patrick Leahy, Nancy Pelosi, Kerry, and the majority of Congress voted Yay on the Iraq resolution, yet the voters chose to reelect some of these representatives to another term despite them voting for the war. Many of the posters on this blog are more venomous than Hillary Clinton. One would think that since the majority of US are christians that they would not harbor such hate in their hearts. Then they pray for God to bless America, but in order to receive blessings from God we first have to forgive other humans for their transgressions. It would seem that no matter what this woman does she can never be right in the eyes of her haters. Why is she judged so harshly? After all no one is perfect, we all sin by word thought and deed! IT IS TIME TO STOP THE HATING OF HILLARY CLINTON. Why carry around that heavy burden of Hate? The bible says to love even your enemies and do good to them that hate you. You will be a better person if you do.

Why are we rushing into this decision? The election process gives the Presidency to the winner of the Electoral Vote after the conventions nominate the candidate best suited to win the general Election.

Senator Clinton has won the states that the Democrats have a chance to win in the general Election. Senator Obama has a less than 10% edge in the delegate count that comes from his wins in states that are not going to vote for the Democratic party in the general Election.

I believe the process is outdated and needs to be updated but it is the process. The Democrats need to take back the Presidency so we can get back to a healthy country the way it was in 2000. The Republicans have clearly shown in their history since 1900 that they are not the best party to run the country with their insistance on "trickle down" policies that clearly are another way of gaining more power and wealth.

McCain would be a disaster. But so would be Clinton or Obama. I'm going to have to write in Paul, the only pro Constitution, anti war, anti illegal immigration, pro limited government , fiscally responsible candidate.

We sure are getting a lot of people screaming very loudly for Hillary to drop out before you and 9 other states get to vote. Do you think this is because they see her coming out with the popular vote lead and a gain in delegates that when put with Florida and Michigan would give her the delegate lead also? That at the end when looking at the winnable states for Novembers general election she will have won more of those states which would giver her the bigger possible electoral votes. So if they do not stop her before Denver that by the time Democrats get to Denver she will have the popular vote and the delegate count lead and the most wins in the right states and that would force the supers to vote for her and not Obama. Where is this article at? The math is easy to do. Oh also in Denver with the popular vote and a close enough delegate count to where if FL & MI are counted it would put her over the top it will be very hard not to seat them if a motion is brought to the floor on National TV to have them seated. The louder they scream the more afraid and desperate they are!

Why is the Obama campaign exerting so much pressure on Clitnon to drop out NOW? Is Obama afraid to that if Pennsylvanians vote, the public will see how badly he has been damaged politically by his Pastor's anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Italian statements?

This is pure propaganda put out by that pathetic protector of Bush and Cheney, Senator Leahy, head icon of the token opposition. The fact of the matter is that Obama is losing and the liberal elite is freaking out that Wall Street's political hedge and Brzezinski puppet Obama is actually forcing Clinton to be a better candidate who is coming to really understand the economic meltdown from the a progressively populist perspective that is starting to invoke what the Democratic Party must rediscover, FDR.
People should realize that in Vermont Leahy derailed 603 impeachment. The Anthrax letters have kept Leahy to his role- Shut up and deliver the war pork to VT.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

jacksmith...

Yes, she will likely take Pennsylvania by 14% and gushes before the media, but it will not alter the delegate count or popular vote significantly. They split the rest. Nothing changes and the Superdelegates decide..
I can understand someone with her ambition doing anything to win and holding on until forced out. The Presidency is the most powerful job on earth, so one should not expect her to play by some set of mytholgical ethical rules of fairness, or care about the Democratic Party. I would expect a number of new endorsements by significant party officials to begin going to Obama, unless she wins big in North Carolina. Highly unlikely in view of the domographics.
I don't think that it hurts the Party in Novemeber if she stays, and helps Obama get better known and experience defending attacks. However, if she keeps up the scorched earth tactics, it may hurt. And senior party leaders should tell her to lay off the ugliness because she has lost, or they will end it immediately after the last primary. Possibly in an unflattering manner.
Bill was popular with people on the street. Just a shameless good-ol-boy that you wanted to hug and forgive him his sins because he didn't really mean it. The Democratic party machinery was never fond of Bill. Possibly they saw the self interest and his minimal concern for the Party. Hillary was never popular outside her core, which is not the party professionals
I would like to see how the Superdelegates explain to the average voter that they gave Hillary the nomination because she won the 'important' states, even though Obama had the most delegates. These are professional politicians who are the most risk-averse people on earth. One cannot imagine them risking their own jobs for someone to whom they have no loyalty.
They are not about to split the party at a time when there is a liklihood of winning. They will find a compromise to seat the delegates from FL and MI so that their voters are not too aggravated in November, but in a manner that does not affect the nomination. Her current approach seems to be that she has won the most states with large electoral votes . The problem is that her argument assumes that Obama will not carry those same Big states against McCain.
So it is very easy for a lot of party professionals and former Clinton supporters to drift away from her as it gets ugly. The tide turned when cracks in her supposed invinciblity appeared because of the string of losses, and Obama showed electability across broad demographics. The Richardson endorsement was important not because of Latinos, but because he is another old friend of the Clintons and Party Leader publicly saying that he will not support them.
And it is a signal that it is nearly time to end this before we all lose our phoney-baloney jobs. (as Mel Brooks would say and the super delegates must be thinking)
For a real dream ticket... Obama, plus Sen. Diane Feinstein, Sen. Maria Cantwell or Spkr. Nancy Pelosi. Real experience without the exaggerations, scandals and divisivness.

Obama belongs to a church pledged to advance Afrocentrism............he is therefore, a man on a mission.........it is purposeful that he, a multi-racial as most of us are historically, presented himself on a partial truth of being black.

Race was NOT in the 2006 mandate, broken government, the war, the ecnomy, immigration were and remain so today.

This man has a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD-see DSM IV). In his quest for power he uses people, winks tothe lobbyists, will do anything....It is all for SELF, not for this country. Yes, it is PERSONAL and PROFITABLE.

Race is NOT the issue. Churches attended mostly by persons of African descent are Not the issue,

HATE SPEECH anywhere, anytime, by anybody IS THE ISSUE....Obama's "church" is far from being a church at all...it's tax exempt status ought to be removed!!!!

OBAMA, and now his list of Congressional endorsers, have failed us in NOT demanding a Congressional investigation into this particular church and preacher.
What a bunch of NON-PATRIOTC, NON-PRINCIPLED, JELLYFISH!

We now know why Obama voted AGAINST a Constitutional ammendment to BAN BURNING OF THE U.S. FLAG!

So I ask Americans: Isn't it time for a CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT to have TERM LIMITS for ALL in CONGRESS?

and, would the CURRENT CANDIDATES be in support of such an ammendment when it reaches the Oval Office?????

If this person happens to be somewhat reasonable and sane, she would have bowed out by now or will do so if she fails to perform miracles in PA and NC. But we are dealing with Hillary Clinton and the Clintons never know when to go home. Every morning, I switch on the computer, expecting to read ' Hillary finally goes home' or something similar. Oh god, please help us. Why are you doing do this us?
