Clinton should have quit this race a long time ago. She does not have a chance of catching up to Sen. Obama in pledged delegates, popular vote, and states won. So what is the point of her staying in the race, it does not make any sense. With her contiuning to stay in the race it is only going to split the party, and make it easier for Sen. McCain to launch his attacks against Sen. Obama. Sen. Clinton is a liar, and will cheat, steal, and destroy the Democratic party to get the nomination. SHAME ON YOU SEN. CLINTON, SHAME ON YOU. Sen.

Neither Obama nor Clinton has the 2,024 needed to become the chosen one! Hillary should stay in until one or the other has the 2,024! Why does anyone want to stop the race or contest, midstream? The only ones that want Hillary to quit or the Obama supporters and the reason is quite clear. The Obama supporters are afraid (and should be) that Hillary can pull it off and become the chosen one. WAKE UP AMERICA! Let us ALL get behind Hillary and push her over the finish line, so that she can beat McCain in November and become our next President, starting one day one. Hillary Clinton need not, nor should not quit the race. Neither Obama nor Clinton has the 2,024 needed to become the chosen one!

Hillary Clinton can stand up to these party bullies, not fold under pressure and keep her eye on the goal of nomination - that's how she will handle the rough neck nations of the world. Obama will go bowling or shoot basketballs to get his mind centered and then make some speech that everyone will think is brillant, but have little effect for change.

It is unfortunate that now that the republicans have chosen their nominee, that the rest of the republican voters can now help to change the lyrics of the democratic song. The Clintons have been blasting Obama, while complementing McCain. Their obvious strategy is to join with the major adversary to help bring down the immediate adversary. But lets be clear with the fact that when it all comes down to the general election wire, all Mr John "Foreign Policy" McCain has to do is ask the question, "If Hillary doesn't even know what is going on in the other room of her own house, how can she know what is going on on the other side of the world?'

Wasn't it less than a month ago when she very clearly implied that winning only the "big states" was the important strategy? I guess it's now convenient for her to make sure that the rest of those tiny, unimportant states vote...just in case they help her out. She doesn't want to disenfranchise any voters, even though the ONLY way she could win the nomination now is to, ironically, disenfranchise voters with the superdelegates' power. I used to respect Senator Clinton, and I was torn between voting for her and Obama for the longest time. Her behavior during the past two months has soured me to her leadership style and it's clear who I prefer to support for the nomination.
