WASHINGTON (CNN) — This week, the spirited back-and-forth between the camps of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama led some in the Democratic Party to suggest that Clinton bow out of the race in order to unify Democrats against Sen. John McCain in the general election. The debate over whether it was time for Clinton to exit the race dominated the Sunday morning political talk show circuit.

CNN’s “Late Edition” featured a showdown between two Democratic strategists, Clinton supporter James Carville and Jamal Simmons, who backs Obama. Carville quickly downplayed any suggestion that Clinton drop out.

“The Clinton campaign has not had one one-second meeting about getting out of the race,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “Calling on her to get out of the race is…going to hurt him in terms of getting votes. And it is going to make it more difficult to reconcile the party.”

Simmons responded that it’s the negativity coming from the Clinton campaign that’s tearing the Democratic Party apart. He said that Democrats “feel like Senator Clinton is fighting Barack Obama like he's a Republican and not fighting him like he's a fellow Democrat.”

On CBS’ “Face the Nation”, former presidential candidate-turned Obama supporter Bill Richardson told host Bob Schieffer that while he has no issue with Senator Clinton staying in the race, he feels an Obama nomination is inevitable. “I personally believe that Senator Obama is reaching a stage where his lead is insurmountable,” Richardson said. He later added, “[But] I don't agree with those that say that Senator Clinton needs to drop out.”

Richardson also responded to comments by Carville, who was recently quoted by the New York Times as comparing the New Mexico governor to Judas for supporting Obama. Richardson, who served in the cabinet of former President Bill Clinton, said he would not stoop to Carville's level.

ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” featured Clinton surrogate and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, who chided Obama supporters for attempting to end the nomination process before all states have their say. “It's a disgrace that the Obama forces say, he's won the popular vote so he should be the nominee,” Rendell told Stephanopoulos.

Senator John Kerry, who has endorsed Barack Obama, also spoke with Stephanopoulos.  He argued that his own experience as the Democratic presidential nominee taught him an important lesson. “This time right now is critical to us,” said Kerry. “We began four years behind George Bush, and I think every day does give John McCain an ability to organize nationally. So the sooner we resolve it, the better.”

Nah, I wanna see her fall hard once and for all. We can't let her try to push over President Obama in the next elections.

Obama '08

Rob   March 30th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

The problem with the Clinton campaign is that she doesn't have a good time to leave. She had built up Ohio and Texas as her firewall, but then she won those states, albeit, not by that much. Should she quit after she won the states she needed to win? No. She will stay in it after she wins Pennsylvania too. If she just all of a sudden left, it would alienate all of her supporters. She has to lose, and I think she realizes that. If she is to bow out, she will do it after Obama wins a few other states down the line. Or, if she loses Pennsylvania.

Renee Osterwalder/Expat Winterthur Switzerland   March 30th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Why should Americans even respond to this question over and over again, when nobody is at home in Hill's head to answer the phone?

What about all the Rep. candidates that dropped out because they knew it was time?

We Dems are our own worst enemies! We have some serious "Overblown Ego's " to deflate!

Brian   March 30th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

YES!!! For the good of the democratic party and the nation, get out of the race!

kobs   March 30th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Kerry said it.
Unless she wants Mccain to win let her stop and let the game start

Molly   March 30th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

GO HILLARY !!! To even suggest that Clinton get out is Crazy - how dare Obama "supporters" try to bully her out of the race. IF he was so great - and - a sure deal he would of WON By now - HE HAS NOT WON! Let the voters decide! I truly feel it is the Obama campaign that has gone negative - something he said he would not do - like he said he was not in the church (20 yrs) - but - he was.
The campaign process is not hurting the party - like Bill Clinton said - saddle up - we are in this to win! The real problem will be if either party feels somehow cheated, bullied, pushed out by the DNC trying to "fix" the problem - that will be the Problem!
Our AMERICAN right to VOTE is far more important than the feelings of the Democratic Party!

g   March 30th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

please while mccain is out toruing countires beefing up his resume clinton and obama are mudslinging. obamas is winning juts leave clinton

RETIRED PROFESSIONAL W/WOMAN OF 63   March 30th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Hillary's "dirty' political game" is not helping the Democratic Party.
This has more to do with how Hillary viciously attacks Obama than her desire to stay. People see right thru Hillary as being self-obsessed,and caring only about Hillary.

Gnosticman   March 30th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter who does not think that Hillary should drop out. This is a democracy ,and if Obama wins after all this heat their will be no fuel for any argument that his victory was illegitamate. I know we're all tired of this race, but it is fair and good for the Democratic party to let the remaining states have their say in who will be the Democratic candidate.

Rudy   March 30th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

NO SHE SHOULD NOT DROP OUT CNN

STOP TRYING TO DISENFRANCHISE MILLIONS OF VOTERS WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN A CHANCE TO TAKE A PART IN THIS HISTORIC PRIMARY

FEDUP   March 30th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

What has she done that is so negative? Rezko, and Rev. Wright are his own doing. He is not ready to be president, is that so negative. This is a competition, not a beauty contest. The media is the one that is guilty of being negative. His campaign is just as negative with attacks on her health plan, which I might add has swift-boated any plans of his own. This is the elimination round, the real contest is in November. I say let this elimination continue.

Claire   March 30th, 2008 4:00 pm ET

It appears CNN is trying to elect Obama as the democratic
candidate for president; knowing he will loose, there by
McCain will be elected Is this true? Mc Cain may be in the
beginning of demencia, if not he seems listless or timid.

Matt   March 30th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

1. John Kerry is a proven loser and no one cares about his opinion on presidential elections.

2. Bill Richardson is a liar and a traitor. He told several Clinton supporters behind the scenes that he was ultimately going to endorse Hillary and then he did an about face.

3. Why would anyone expexct Obama to care about counting the votes in states that have yet to have their say? He has made it clear he doesn't care about counting the votes in states that have already voted - Michigan and Florida - and will lose these states miserably as a result if he is the nominee (along with the presidency).

4. Why should Clinton drop? Note it is just Obama backers who are making these calls - not the undecided. They know that buyer's remorse has set in on Obama, that Clinton won convincingly in Ohio and Texas (despite an undemocratic system in Texas which will award Obama more delegates despite Hillary's commanding lead in the popular vote there), that she will win by an even wider margin in Pennsylvania, will win comfortably in Indiana, will keep it close or pull out an upset in North Carolina, and will then take huge wins in West Virginia and Kentucky. Of course they want her to drop out know. The remaining races favor HER not HIM, despite the fact that he should be winning all of these races given his "frontrunner" status.

Mike - Ventura, CA   March 30th, 2008 4:02 pm ET

Yes. If the positions were reversed she and her campaign would have been yelling long ago that HE should drop out to preserve party unity.
Anyone who disputes this either hasn't been paying attention to her campaign or is so warped with the negativity she has thrown that they aren't thinking straight.
I have been a Democrat for forty years- and I am sure that this is true.

Jesse   March 30th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

If she was not the former first lady. We would not be having this discussion. The media would have treated her just like Mike Huckabee, If she was some Senator from New York. If the tables were turn, the weight of the Dems would beseige the Obama's campagin it would not be funny. Just like that bit she pull saying that Senator Obama would make a good V.P. when she's the one that's losing (hahahaha). This race is over you and I know it. She wasting time, money and the American people time with this. Hillary (and her supports) just quit. Face it, you running against the second coming of John Kennedy. Good try. Best of luck in 2012. That's when you're get President Obama's endorsement.

Grant McLachlan   March 30th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

While I'm an Obama supporter, I think it would be kind of pointless for Hillary to drop out of the race now, and Obama isn't the one saying she should drop out of the race its some of his supporters. In fact he even said that he would like Hillary to say in the race, but at the same time, shes got a long road ahead to catch up.

freedom   March 30th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

We need the freedom to vote for our candidate.

The DNC has swayed this election and advantaged Obama.

Race card: Bill Clinton made a racist (?) comment in SC? But now we all excuse the comments of the Obama supporters, including his wife, as FREEDOM of speech.

The same rules should apply to everyone.

The Fl and Mi voters should count like everyone else.

Caucus format is absurd and should be banned.

Hillary has been swiftboated by the DNC and her own party.

tomdavie   March 30th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Most americans are tuning into the fact that the media could EASILY spin this against Obama.

There is no way Obama can ask Clinton to leave , when the super delegates MUST decide it, and there has been no confirmation that they are going to back Obama.

The super delegates are under no obligation to do so. The delegate count is 53% to 47% so far. The popular vote is 51% to 49%

Considering Obama is fundamentally damaged by the Wright scandal in the general election and he couldnt win a single major primary except his home state, the ONLY argument he has is the delegate count.

What other argument does he have? Tap danced polls?

How does Obama argue the 'will of the people' when he WONT allow Michigan and Florida to revote or have their primary count.

Nowhere does it say the VOTE doesnt count. Its says the delegates wont be seated.

The MEDIAs attempt to BRAINWASH that the will of the people count -but ignore the will of michigan and florida is outright STUPID .

Jan Houston   March 30th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Hillary cannot afford to go on unless she decides to stiff more people with unpaid bills. She has $8.7 million in unpaid bills. A number of these are small businesses that cannot afford to carry her debt month to month.

This demonstrates that she does not care about the little person.

This demonstrates that she cannot run a federal budget.

She needs to pay her bills and go home.

kelly   March 30th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Clinton should drop out! She has been running this entire race on her husbands coat tails!

If the math were different…Obama would have gracefull dropped out like Richardson, Biden, Kursinich, and Edwards.

Moreover!! If the math were different the PRESS would have driven him out.

The whole issue here is what the Clintons are willing to do to the party. They are spoiled children that will do anything to win. Chelsea Clinton needs to take her Daddys advice. She needs to chill out and be willing to answer the hard questions or get out of the game. If she is willing to put on the political suit to defend her mom. She needs to be willing to be hit. As her daddy says! You don't play football and not expect to take a hit!

Guess what is good for the Obama's doesn't apply to the Clinton's!

melikeyhill   March 30th, 2008 4:05 pm ET

simple answer yes she must drop out!

francine   March 30th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Obama is now up 10 points, 52-42 on Gallup daily tracking.

The People will tell Mrs. Clinton it is time to drop out.

Watch.

Mark   March 30th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

She can't win anymore. She should drop out and back Obama.

Trang, Fremont, CA   March 30th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Well, it seems even if we get to the convention, neither of them has enough delegates to win. It still up to the superdelegates.

Hillary has the right to run the campaign to the end, if she can afford it, because it takes money to run the campaign, although I hope she can stay on the positive, just spells out what she can do for the country, and not putting down the other candidates.

Who knows, maybe the superdelegates will come in and make their stand, and we don't have to fight it out, and the money donated afterwards will be for the general election.

On the flip side, if the campaign drags on, Obama can sets posts in 50 states, and maybe that would be a good thing for him, because when people gets to see Obama in person, they generally like him.

Hillary is tough but she has character issue. McCain is likable, but his policies are terrible. With Obama, we can have both - likable and good policies.

James in Kamiah   March 30th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

YES! She is a Led Anchor and she is dragging the Democratic party down. We have a strong candidate in Barak Obama, and an intelligent one with little or no baggage around his neck, and then we have Hillary.
She needs to drop out. She is fracturing the democratic party, and her supporters are spewing hate and Bile like the world will end if she's not the candidate. They feel that if Hillary doesn't get the nomination then it's a full fledged attack on women in general, and that type of falsehood NEEDS to be shut down. It has become an emotional, and personal war between women and the world for them, and Hillary is doing nothing about it.

We do not need this type of woman in the white house. My vote is for Donna Brazil if it's so important. At least then we'd have someone with integrity, and not someone whos motivations are guided by the bitterness she feels about her own husbands stupidity that she can then take out on all men in general in the white house.

An "old" Dem   March 30th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

First of all, why is Carvill (hence Clinton) given a "free" ride?? And, why would "anyone" listen to a racist and a bigott like Rendell????????
Secondly, I would ask the following: If the places were reversed, would the Clintons' be calling for Obama to drop out? I think we all know the answer to that one!!!

"It needs to end; and, NOW"!!!

fair play   March 30th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

If Obama wins he wins by cheating- and that is NO win at all.

He lawyered up to block the votes in Fl and Mi from counting.

He thugged his way to wins via the absurd caucus format.

He is changing the rules of how superdelegates work.

The media sabotaged Hillary's chances by spreading myths of how she is hated (NOT!) and unelectable (so why the tie?)

why?   March 30th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Why should she quit?

She would be ahead and winning if the votes in Fl and Mi counted.

And if the caucus format had not prevented her demographic from voting.

ben   March 30th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Hillary isn't atacking Obama nearly as much as Fox news! To be fair, Fox news is also atacking her. Fox and hannity(the lower case "h" is no accident. He doesn't deserve an upper case letter) and Limbaugh are the culprits trying to destroy the democratic party. Actually limbaugh doesn't deserve upper case letter on his last name either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manuel TX   March 30th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

12 million plus voters support Hillary, and they don't want her to drop out.

Keep fighting Hillary! :)

Grif   March 30th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

With, or without Hillary! Obama can't win now.
So if he gets the nomination. He is a Sure, if not a Sore Loser.

Come November in the Election itself… He can't Win!!
Against John McCain…

Brad   March 30th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Carville sounded pathetic on the CNN show. No matter what question was asked, he obsessively harped on how some Dems would be turned off if people kept asking Hillary to drop out. He failed to mention how this all started with Hillary suggesting that Obama, in the lead, be her VP candidate…in affect telling him to drop out.

Carville is a snake.

Jot   March 30th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Of course if you are an Obama supporter you would like to see Clinton out of the race. Unfortunately neither Obama nor Clinton has the delegates needed to win the nominee.(2024) It is unfortunate that the Obama supporters continuously blame Clinton for negative compaigning…Ah ah, I will never forget the day they blamed her for killing Benazio Bhuto. I'm a democtratic that was enough for me not even watch Obama whenever I'm watching an TV channel and he come on I change to sports channel

Eva   March 30th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

I don't understand why Sen Clinton should drop out, the race is very close, even not counting Florida and Michigan. They both need Superdelegates votes. This seems to be yet another atempt to marginalise Sen. Clinton and her candidacy. She has huge support , won the most important States and I don't think her campaign is divisive at all. I read Fact Check regularly and overstatements, false and misleading statements are more often on part of the Obama campaign. Of, course, I don't expect this comment will be posted, as several others I have written; they are considered too much pro Clinton.

Daniel in Michigan   March 30th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

When Clinton loses badly in Pennsylvania, yes, for the good of the party and the nation, she should drop out of the race. But for some sneeky reason I think she will remain in the race even still. The power was too great for her to let go at any point.

E.C.Rossi   March 30th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Senator Clinton should not bow out of the raceand it is curious that so
many of Obama's supporters are pressing the point.

Michael   March 30th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

Hillary should get out of this race in a respectful manner. The majority of Americans who want Obama as president outweigh the support for Hillary. The least she can do is simply bow out, and thank her supporters and wish Obama good luck for the future.

Russell, NC   March 30th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Yes, it is time for her to drop out and help unify the party.

Marc   March 30th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Yes she should. Especially now that we know about Maggie Williams and her dealings with Delta Financial Corp. The same company that Hillary claims she is so against. Maggie Williams is very well known to the Clintons and Hillary claims that she know Maggie inside and out. So, why would she make Maggie Williams her campaign manager. This lets us know about Hillary's choices and this country will be bankrupt like Upsstate New York and all of her promises and all they got is nickles and pennies.

yeah right   March 30th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Yeah right.

Then we should just open our mouths so the DNC, the democratic party elite and the biased media canmore easily force feed us Obama.

ramram   March 30th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Keep ramming Obama down our throats.

We'll STILL write in the best candidate- Hillary- come November.

Midge from Ohio   March 30th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

She should not drop out. Dirt keeps flying around Obama, and when he falls someone needs to be there to beat McCain in November. All states votes need to be counted, THAT is supposed to be the Democratic process. Some Democrats need to learn that..

ddt   March 30th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Why is it that Obama is supported by losers? Bill Richardson lost, he hopes like Obama does that the Hespanic voters will vote for Obama. They never voted for you how will they vote for someone they already rejecteed. Another loser, John Kerry, he lost the presidencial bid in 2004, lost to Clinton in his own state, Chris Dodd, former senator majority lead Tom D. All these are losers, they probably hope to get a position in Obama's Administration which to me is a dream

Mark, Vancouver WA   March 30th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

“It's a disgrace that the Obama forces say, he's won the popular vote so he should be the nominee,” Rendell told Stephanopoulos.

Wasn't it the Democrats that made a similar argument when Al Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 general election and said he should have been the president? If the roles were reversed, and Obama was behind in delegates, states, and popular votes, there would be a lot heavier pressure for him to drop out than we have seen for Hillary to drop out - the only thing keeping Hillary in this race is her name.

IndependantQ   March 30th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Democrats need Hillary to get out of the race. If she were loyal to her country she would do so now!

basic fact   March 30th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Disenfranchise your base and lose the election.

swiftboat Hillary and we won't give you our vote.

Count her votes in Fl and Mi.

Investigate the corruption at caucus sites.

Stop the Hillary haters from bashing her.

Texas Momma   March 30th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

I completely understand and agree that, under normal circumstances, both candidates have a right and should remain in the race. However, this is not normal circumstances. Team Clinton's goal is to destroy Obama through lies and half-truths. They are in search of any possible way (true or untrue) to defame and destroy him. That is why she needs to go. To allow her to continue is utter suicide for the Democratic Party. Many uninformed people actually believe her lies, or at the very least, begin to question his character. Are they switching to camp Clinton? No, they are switching to McCain. (Remember, twice team Clinton stated McCain was a better choice than Obama.) What a shame to watch an electrified nation of voters (Inspired by Obama, singlehandedly) get turned off and depart.

It is my estimation we are allowing the Clinton camp to bully us into believing she deserves to continue and this is good for the party. Shame on us for allowing them to bully us. Shame on us.

Charles   March 30th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

She better quit now, her staying won't change anything. She will still have to quit later. There is no way or chance she is winning the nomination. She is behind in almost everything, and according to Math of remaining Primaries she can't catch up, So why wait time and destroy the chances of others. I suggest her camp start debating on getting out, that will be a very good start, if they have ignored the fact.

BillieJean in Idaho   March 30th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I agree with Jamal's analogy, we argue and fight as brothers and sisters but let an outsider come in and it is a different story. I would think that is how the democratic race would be a brother sister type event, with drawing blood to between the dems and repubs.

Clinton gives the appearance of wanting to leave Obama bloodied and scarred if she can't have the nomination. Going to be kind of hard to believe any Clinton could get behind Obama to bring the democratic party together. Yet we could have an even worse outcome….Clinton wins and dems stay home or vote repub to keep her out. A lot of built up hostility there that Obama doesn't have to carry into the general election with him.

CARL   March 30th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Hillary stay and carry it to the floor of the democratic convention a lot of us are behind you 100%. MIchigan and Florida votes must count. Hillary or McCain!! If they do not count the Florida and MIchigan voters. If they do it will be the winner of the Delegates if not my vote goes to Hillary or Mccain. No disenfranchisement.

Vern's world   March 30th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Richardson and Kerry are both backstabbing scum,,,,,,

they both turn there backs on the people who helped build there political careers..

but even more atroshus are there smug brush off of the vote in there own states………….

if this is what obama considers the face of the new democratic party….

they'll be surprised come Nov………

Missouri

janet in wv   March 30th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

no she should not drop out all the states should have the right to cast there vote if Hillary is not running when it is our turn in west Virginia i will NOT vote for Obama, janet in WV

leah   March 30th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

yes! she's overstayed her welcome!

Rich in Seattle   March 30th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Give it up Carville. Unless Hillary steals the nomination from Obama there is no way she can win. So unless she plans to win at any cost, even at the expense of her own party, then she needs to drop out NOW.

The longer she stays in the worse she looks. Both you and Hillary make believing in the Democrat party very difficult.

I am one of the 19% that will never vote for Hillary. If she had run a fair and responsible campaign I would have. But I hate Bush for the same reason I dislike Hillary, dirty politics.

America needs Obama, not more of the same Clinton/Bush hate that has devided our nation for so long. Let's move forward, just look where this has gotten us.

voice   March 30th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

We all wish so, but she won't because theie famiy "is not big on quitting." Just look at how the impeachmen has done to the country. It will repeat itself except this time they will be defeated.

what?   March 30th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Over the dead body of half of America.

Those votes are good and gone to barack.

When you disenfranchise democrats and deny their vote, they will not simply vote for you ANYway.

Justice supercedes party loyalty any day.

Should have run a fair election.

Art Hayward   March 30th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

How come cnn has not mentioned the breaking story about Maggie Williams and the Bank board she sits on??

R CAL   March 30th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Of course people should not be trying to force HRC out of the race. However, the supporters of both candidates need to clean up their acts and stop this petty sniping. We are better than this. Clean campaigns are positive things, bringing out the strengths of the candidates.

Joe   March 30th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Primary was unfair… To Hillary.

So let her run, or give her the votes she has already won… and check into the antics at caucus sites while you'r at it.. and fellow democrats, stop the Hillary hate…

then you maybe might get our vote in Nov.

We are a large and loyal bunch us lifelong democrats that support Hillary.

may   March 30th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Nonsense!

The race has disadvantaged her enough.

Count Fl and Mi.

Investigate the absurd caucus format and its illegalities.

Let the superdelegates do their job.

frank_steve NC   March 30th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Of course not…
Hillary should not and need walk out. She is going to make to the White House…
Chelsea gets to be the first daughter again…

HILLARY '08

Jordan   March 30th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Absolutely… she's dumber than Huckabee. At least he admitted the odds against him! She is either mathematically inept, or she just wants to mess things up for her party. In either case, we all know who the real democrat is!

so sorry   March 30th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

If the party elite and the DNC had left it up to the people, and let them vote, and had counted their votes… and had not bashed Hillary and had not sabotaged her campaign…
She would be ahead right now.

Obama is not winning if you count Fl and Mi.

Cindy,CA   March 30th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Of course she should stay in the race..That's how our process works..Every voter should cast a ballot for their choice and than we will see what the people want.
The superdelegates will than have to make an evaluation of all the results and make a choice too.
We need someone who is can and will win the nomination in November against McCain…I think Hillary is that person.

Joan   March 30th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Kerry's great expertise is all Obama needs to win a general election.
Please.

LA   March 30th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Should Clinton drop out? She never struck me as a quitter. This talk makes the Obama supporters seem like they are poor sports or afraid of something. Why don't we all show more respect for the candidates and for the process. If the DNC does not want to include all 50 states next time, please tell us in advance. The voters are excited and should have a chance to weigh in.

Tom P   March 30th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Yes, it is already past time!

maya   March 30th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

They are in a virtual tie- and NEITHER has enough to secure the nomination.

Don't let the Obama thugs and bullies push you out, Hillary!

sam   March 30th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

jamal is a joker - everything that clintons do is either nagativity or racial.He is the one who is prejudiced and I wonder what made such a reputable news channel use him and his idioticity.

Watcher   March 30th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

First of all Kerry should be quiet. His 2004 run for the whitehouse is a lesson in how "not" to run against the Rove machine. No fight, no guts, no nothing. That is exactly why we need Hillary as our nominee. She is a fighter and she isn't afraid to stand up to anyone. Obama's answer to everything is a speech. That is not going to fly in November. The republicans will tear him to bits. It's Hillary or we can expect 4 more years of Bush.

Stan   March 30th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

So what's the difference between the Democratic Party not seating the Florida delegates and depriving the Florida voters of their voice as to who they prefer and the people who are demanding that Senator Clinton pull out of the race. What about those voters wanting a voice in deciding who their choice is for the Democratic presidential candidate. What gives them the right to decide who I should vote for?

CLO   March 30th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Jamal you are an idot. Hillary's negativity??? Who's supporters starting saying Hillary should drop out? That's right…Obama's supporters… this is negativity. All it has done is great a mess with more negativity…. wake up Jamal!

Raul Sanchez   March 30th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

The recent poll showing Senator Clinton’s negative image should be a gage on this issue. There is no way she can win the nomination without dividing the party. It's time to show true leadership and step down or the Democratic Party has no chance of winning back the White House.

Jeremy   March 30th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Hillary should stay in and let the voters and superdelegates decide… as the democratic party has made a rule… I'm sure the party is scared because Obama has no chance against McCain.

Ted in Chicago   March 30th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Kerry - who I voted for - lost it the one week he did not respond to the swiftboat attack machine quickly

He is not one to talk about how to run a winning campaign - he lost one handed to him on a silver platter

Jill   March 30th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

Of course Hillary should NOT drop out. Not all states have voted yet, not to mention Fl and Mi.

In addition with the popular vote less then 1% difference and the pledged delegates less the 5% it would be silly to drop out. Anyone that tells her to drop out is causing the democratic party to split up and causing more injury to the party.

ynw   March 30th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

It was a shame that Simmons talked about nagativity. Who distributed those healthcare campaign materials in Ohio attacking a fellow Democratic candidate using Republican's attacking machine's tactics? who attacked a fellow Democratic's foreign policy plan and appraised Reagan's and Bush I's foreign policies (and never said one good thing about President Clinton even though he was a Democratic President)? who attacked a fellow Democratic candidate on Iraq and exeprience as the First Lady like attacking a Republican? It was Obama and his people who talked loud about change, hope and new politics on one hand and initiated Republican style attacks on the other.

Peter from N.J   March 30th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

I agree with Governator Ed Rendell.
Hillary stay in the race.
Have all the states counted includes Florida and Michican
The magic # 2024 is not reached yet and do the process run.
Hillary 08.

John, Toronto, Canada   March 30th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

I use to think she was in it for the right reasons, the fact that she's not considering dropping out tells me otherwise. Can someone just let her know it's not about her?

Liz   March 30th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Like any other super delegate, she should use her conscience and not make decisions based on vote totals alone.

jim   March 30th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

No, but Obama should

Kris from AZ   March 30th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Heck no HIllary should not drop out. The bottom line even tho I am an Obama supporter. I support her staying in due to poeple need a choice. Lets take it down to the convention!

bigben   March 30th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Obama backers please stop whining

Jack   March 30th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Like many, I started out a Clinton supporter. She blew it. Period.

All by herself, and with the exact sort of stunts that prove she is not worthy to hold ANY political office, let alone the most important one. Self serving does not even begin to cover it.

Shirley   March 30th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Let Hillary stay in the race as long as she likes. Her refusal to release her 2000 thru 2006 tax returns is suspect. The Democratic Party needs to insist she reveal her financial history. Releasing only her 2007 tax return will not suffice.

Chuky   March 30th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Please let Hillary continue.

It will make the work easier for her in 2012!

SlapStick   March 30th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Hmmm let me see how many wayss can I spell Y.E.S

Aj4obama-Boston   March 30th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

I think Hillary is a month late in dropping out. Perhaps it has not hit her yet that US Presidency is anything but an entitlement. (Even the founding fathers knew that).

Sue   March 30th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

I would just like to say, to the democratic elitists, who are saying Sen. Clinton should drop out before millions of people have their say…remember this the next time you are up for election. Let's just let half of your state vote…then see how far you get to being re-electioned.

Clinton / 08

Willy   March 30th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

No. Mrs Bill Clinton should stay as long as she wants to before the Clinton War machine steals it away from Obama, and they are. After all democrats only want your vote but not you in power.

Jim   March 30th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Why would anyone take advice from a loser? John Kerry is a loser and a liar. John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, and Bill Richardson all deserve each other. They have one thing is common, they are all losers.

Chrissy, Texas   March 30th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

No.

Amber   March 30th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

The thing that makes me laugh the hardest is the fact that everyone keeps saying that "oh Obama brings all these people together, it wonderful." But if he was such a uniter and brought all these people together, why does he not have the nomination together? Why are they even having to ask Cinton to get out? Hmmmm……..

Tom, ALBUQUERQUE, NM   March 30th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

As an African American, devout Democrat and faithful voter, I don't want to risk America's future on a person who for 20yrs listened to anti American diatribe from his pastor. Now Obama make specious claims that he never heard the remarks or that he would have quit the church. The man is a smooth, first rate liar. He has skillfully played the race card to his advantage…and has effectively played into the intonement seeking liberal white American mentality. If Obama is the nominee I will vote for John McCain/

Karen P   March 30th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

If Hillary had been running a fair campaign, I'd say stay in. BUT, the Clinton campaign has been so outrageous this entire process it makes me sick. She doesn't care about the people and the country, only about the power. That is what people do NOT need or want.

Hillary's campaign just goes to show that nothing would get done in Washington because she would be so polarizing and throw tantrums and guilt trips when she doesn't get her way…like a spoiled kid.

Susan   March 30th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Pennsylvania, I am glad you are voting. Please stand up and show that you are not fooled by Senator Clintons campaign. Remember, that she has lied on so many occasions during this campaign. The big one for you all to remember is NAFTA. She supported it along when she claimed she did not. I don't believe this woman cares one bit other than to get the nomination. If she has such deep roots in Scranton, when after Bill's Presidency, why did she not come back there to run for the Senate? Answer: she knew she had a better shot and more power as a Senator from New York. This woman uses you and discards you like Old Socks. Give her the boot. Bravo to your Senator Casey who chose to stand against all the old back room dealings of politics. Ask yourselves, what was promised to Governor Rendell?

Jack   March 30th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

If Hillary drops out, then her supporters should support McCain in November so that she can run again in 2012….

Does that sound like a fair compromise?

Another Typical White Woman   March 30th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Kerry is a weak moron and NO, Clinton should not drop out. Obama should. He is unelectable.

The media will not be able to protect him if he is nominated. And, he will be trashed the way the media has trashed Senator Clinton.

Where is Michelle Obama? I think it is telling that she has been outsourced because of her statement on patriotism. Wright's bigoted views (I'm one of those big nosed Italians) will not be part of the next Administration.

abuusa   March 30th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I would like to see Obama and Clinton as president and vice-president candidates respectively in 2008 and reverse candidacy in 2012 election as compromise unless there is any challenge from any future democratic challenger.

Marie Garber   March 30th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

NO!!!!!!!!!!
Let the race go on, and let all votes count, and get Michigan and Florida back in
the race, Howard Dean really made a mess of things as did the DNC in
not letting Michigan and Florida's votes count, so what if they went ahead of the
schedule, did the DNC already have the race determined>>>>>

marie   March 30th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Sincerly, yes I think she should. There is no way out for her to get the nomination. She should realize that is imperative for the party and democratie together. If she is staying and stick to grab the nomination she will never have, that means 'Hillary project ' is not a science fiction movie…

Susan   March 30th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Hillary cares about Hillary..the Clintons will do and say absolutely anything to win. Hillary would have done so much better on her own. if she had chosen to become a person of honor and character versus the "Shrill Hill." She took the cheap way to power by riding the coat tails of a man. John Kerry is right..the longer she stays in the more time John McCain has to get the battle plan going. The Clintons live in delusional land where they are the stars and no one else can do the job. Reality bites Hill..how about those tax returns and get out of the way you lost. The majority of America woke up between Iowa and SC. We just don't trust you.

Ted in Chicago   March 30th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Why get out?
Why the calls to get out
Do people realize how close this race realy is?

On a winner take all basis like a general election - on an electoral basis HRC is winning - that is how close it is

Re popular vote - I think that is the issue DEMS should focus on

The popular vote numbers IMO scare the BO camp.

If they lose that - and electoral - all they have is delegates - and HRC and some others argue that the caucus states were less democratic then FL or MI

The popular vote number is the main reason IMO that BO threw in the kitchen sink to stop a revote ready to happen in MI - where maybe HRC could have picked up 150,000 votes more then BO

Counting FL (Good for HRC) - but not MI - and counting the expected caucus votes to come from where they were alreay held and BO will lead by a lot — the difference between the two candidates is I believe under 500,000

I suggest that near halff that number might be made up by HRC if she wins PA by say 11% of 2.2 million votes?

Is that why BO supporters are calling for HRC to quit?

If one added in MI - again guessing - it gets to 100,000 votes — and people are saying HRC should quit?

V Connors- OH   March 30th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

NO WAY MRS. CLINTON!!!!!!

YOU STAY AND FIGHT. IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY, OR IT WAS. I GUESS THE SENATOR FROM VERMONT, DOESN'T KNOW HIS AMERICAN HISTORY. OUR COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON OUR RIGHT TO HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND STANDING UP TO BE COUNTED. I GUESS HE DOESN,T THINK THE REMAINING STATES HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE. HOW WOULD HE FEEL, IF VERMONT HAD NOT YET VOTED, AND WAS TOLD YOUR VOTE DOESN'T MATTER, BECAUSE, WE WANT ONE OF THE CANIDATES TO QUIT. HE WOULDN'T STAND FOR IT. IF HE WERE A TRUE AMERICAN WHO BELIEVED AND READ THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

JUDAS   March 30th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

. . . .Yes.

jim   March 30th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

IF CLINTON WAS IN THE LEAD LIKE OBAMA– THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT WOULD BE OVER.
AMERICA NEEDS TO GET BEHIND OBAMA AND SHOW THE CLINTONS THAT PENNSYLVANIA IS NOT CLINTON OR RENDALL COUNTRY
ITS OBAMA COUNTRY………
PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS KNOW WHAT RENDALL PROMISED THE VOTERS WHEN HE WAS CAMPAIGNING AGAINST LYNN SWANN
RENDALL SAID HE WAS GOING TO ELEMINATE REAL ESTATE TAXES
GUESS WHAT OUR REAL ESTATE TAXES HAVE GONE UP OVER

30% IN THE LAST TO YEARS HE IS A BIGGER LIAR THAN CLINTON..
OBAMA WILL TAKE PENNSYLVANIA AND THEN WE CAN GET TO WORK PUTTING HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
BESIDES WHO WANTS TO WATCH CHELSEAS WEDDDING IN THE WHITE HOUSE????
REMEMBER VOTERS WE HAD THE DIRTY CLINTONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WE IMPEACHED HIM HE WOULDNT LEAVE WE HAD TO VOTE HIM OUT AND WHEN THE CLINTONS LEFT HILARY STOLE FURNITURE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE THAT WAS OVER 200 YRS OLD…. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT U GET THE POINT

Mimi in TX   March 30th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

I say if Clinton wins by a narrow margin in PA and if she loses in NC then she should drop out.

Eric in Lincolnton, NC   March 30th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

NO!!! They only people wanting her to quit are Obama supporters!! What a stupid question!

Allison Marie   March 30th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

The problem is that the senior politians are trying to take the vote away from the people. If the people agreed Clinton wouldn't have adouble digit lead in PA over Obama. For once just once look at what the American voters are doing. Remember it's "We the people…." not the old boys club.

Another big hurddle will be what to do with Florida & Michigan, again politians taking the votes away from the people. I keep hearing rules, rules, rules, however I have noticed when it comes to Obama the rules don't apply to him, he ran TV ads in Florida, what about him braking the rules!

I live in Florida and if my vote is not counted in a primary I will be unable to support Obama as a nominee,but will support Clinton, since it's his camp that doesn't want Florida & Michigan to be counted or re-voted. This will have big legs in a general and certainly believe that the super-delegates will have to take a good hard look at this!

Pat Va   March 30th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

She's not gone YET???!!!!

Mark   March 30th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

I would like to hear more information regarding Clinton's campaign manager Maggie Williams being on the board of the predatory lending company Delta Financial Corp. They are known to demand prepayment penalties from their customers….
Hillary Clinton has mentioned this practice several times in her speeches. Her giant effort to speak on behalf of the economically disadvantaged. It is another example of the dishonest and two faced nature of her campaign and the need for her to drop out of this race.

Rellosa   March 30th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Hillary is fighting fairly with Obama . Why is Obama not agreeable about Michigan and Florida redo vote . I think he knows Hillary will win . She is winning big States which is important . All states are important so let everyone vote . If Obama ignore the people he would loose those 2 states and more . I am not political at all but I am speaking out because America needs Hillary who has experience plus Bill Clinton can help also . The Wrights issue is very basic and personal which comes down to honesty and moral judgement . Obama was not clear on his stance .He is not ready for Presidency !!

Jake, California   March 30th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Go Hillary, just get out!
It will be even shame if you stay so long and then lose in the end which you are going to do!

Why don't you save yourself some face… Your only possible win is PA and you can't handily win that.

North Carolina–you'll be badly smacked down
Indiana–it's a disaster for you, you can't win it cuz its Obama's neighboring state

Oregon–this is a rich and educated white state, do don't like you!

so simple logic should suggest that you get out gracefully!

jim   March 30th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

I THINK SHE SHOULD STAY IN THE RACE AND CONTINUE TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
JUST ABOUT ALL OF HER PROMISES WILL NOT EVEN COME UP FOR A VOTE IN THE SENATE LET ALONE THE HOUSE. SO LET HER CONTINUE TO TEAR HERSELF UP…
OBAMA O9

Susah   March 30th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

can't you'll see that clinton do not give a bunny-tail about the democrats party all this woman want is to win.by any means necessary. After she get in the white house then you people will see the real hillary. she has not done anything for this country before and she will not do anything now. It would be a rotten shame for this great country if you people vote them back . don't go back. clinton may because a republican, may be in her heart she already is and so is bill.

Enrique--- Hispanic Iraqi Freedom Veteran   March 30th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Should Sen. Clinton drop out? No.

Should Sen. Obamas' supporters urge her to bow out? No.

Not only should they be sharpening their attacks on Sen. McCain, but they should also be focused on the unity of the Dem. Party.

Divided we fail.

Obama 2008

anthony Diamandopoulos   March 30th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

How Bill Clinton can compare the present division within the Democratic party to his 1992 election when six months before elections he said that he was runnning third to the polls after the Republican Bush Father and Ross Perrot..

It was an unexpected good luck for Clinton that Ross Perrot took enoufh votes from Bush the front runner to brink Clinton to the top.

Bruno.

Jonathan Wright   March 30th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

How can you call it Democracy if one candidate is made to "bow" out because the party thinks that the democratic process is taking too long. Mathematically clinton doesn't have a prayer, but she still has the right to continue to run until the candidate has been chosen. As much as I can't stand the clintons (whose idea of the truth and memories of past occurances are completely out of whack and differ with everyone and what really happend) I think that more damage would be done to democracy to hinder the whole process.
Both parties have run their course they are all idiots right now, it makes it really hard to choose a party!

Janel, St. Paul, MN   March 30th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I simply can't understand why Senator Clinton won't quit. She is behind in all the polls, she is divisive, she is helping the McCain campaign by saying that Senator Obama isn't qualified to be president. For goodness sake, it seems like she is simply handing the election over to the Republicans if she, one who believes an entitlement to the highest office in the land, can't win it!

Lisa   March 30th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Hillary is not paying her campaign bills. She cannot manage this campaign, and yet she will try to paint herself as a victim, "they want me to drop out" in order to get people to feel bad for her and donate money. Hillary cannot handle her own personal affairs, how is she expecting to run our country? PAY YOUR BILLS like the rest of us do.

HD   March 30th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton has no incentive to drop out. If she stays in the race longer, then this weakens Obama and decreases the chance he will be elected in November, which means she could run for President in 2012 at age 65 against John McCain.

Dr. Paul T. Carroll   March 30th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Charlie Watts doesn't think the Clintons are fans of rock and roll. Perhaps Hillary's story about attending Rolling Stones concerts and being a fan needs to be checked out.This sounds like the story she told Sir Edmund Hillary about being named after him because he had scaled MT. Everest. and her mother wanted her to scale that kind of height.Hillary was born well before Sir Edmund ever climbed Mt Everest. But wait. There is the Bosnia story too where conditions were so dangerous that she was sent in Bill's place. Bullets were flying upon her arrival and she is lucky to be alive.

Kathy   March 30th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Just the fact that it is the Obama supporters calling for Hillary to end her campaign shows that they don't want the other states and millions of votes to count. They are afraid that they will lose, not that the party will lose or that we as democrats will be torn apart. That is ridiculous. It is only Obamas people putting it out there that we will be torn apart which is not true.

jerome   March 30th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

No, who do they think Obama is Jesus. All america should have the right to vote. We know what him and his campaign did in MI but I am a proud black america and I would cross over first.

a. shock   March 30th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Is everyone running scared? That's all I have heard on these biased news this weekend is that Hillary should drop out. What is Obama so afraid of? Oh, thats right, he said she should run. He just had is campaign workers and supporters do his dirty work for him. EVERY state has the right to vote! No election should be called until every state has voted. What is wrong with you people? If all the big wigs in the democrat party (Dodd, Leahy, Kerry, Perosie, etc.) are so afraid of Hillary continuing to run, maybe they should drop out of the Democrat party. That is what the Republicans did and they are stuck with McCain. Here is novel idea for all extremely biased news people - encourage Obama to drop out.

Phrank   March 30th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Has anyone noticed that Ed Rendell's charges against the Obama camp are–like LaClinton's memory of Bosnia–not grounded in reality?

Lady Professor   March 30th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Hillary Clinton should drop out. However, consistent with all her other bad judgment calls: lying on her FEC reports (Peter Paul v. Clinton Trial coming this October!), NAFTA lies, lies about running from "sniper fire", continuing to not pay hundreds of bills along the campaign trail to small business owners, etc. she won't.

David, Atlanta   March 30th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

I think the longer she stays in the more it hurts her party. She needs to become a good team player, which I don't think she is capable of. She does have the right to stay in. It just would be wise for her to drop out.

canadianfan   March 30th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Yes she should!

ro   March 30th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

If the DNC does not seat and count the FL and MI delegates and its superdelegates, then the remaining superdelegates able to vote should cast it for those unseated/uncounted delegates. Let's see - that's 300+ superdelegates for 300+ FL and MI delegates. Now that would be fair and representative of the people's will.

Roger   March 30th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Obama is the one that should drop out. He had his time before the Texas primary, but now things are different. Now Obama isn't electable.

Jen B.   March 30th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

If her last name wasn't Clinton, she would have been advised to concede graciously after losing 12 States in a row..
Her scarcely concealed blind ambition is distasteful. So are the comments and heavy handed tactics of surrogates like Carville and her wealthy backers.
Instead of virtually endorsing McCain over her democratic colleague and rival, it would be more honorable if she demonstrated the same loyalty to party and country as Governor Richardson, who did just that when he endorsed Barack Obama.

Gary   March 30th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Hillary should not quit. This election appears to be Fixed and Not Democratic. Howard Dean and DNC committee Leaders are Splitting the Party by setting up new rules that override American Citizen Votes!

The television reporting in all media have not lived up to finding the truth out about all the candidates for voters to make a honest decision. No matter what the media has tried in the course of this campaign. Hillary has continued to remain Presidential.

Hillary has a proven record and would definitely be able to lead the country now. Obama has not really worked long enough as a Senator to have any record for his state. Now that new information about Obama comes out Americans are asking questions. Does he have the ability to lead to bring the party together or will it divide all Americans?

Indra in FL   March 30th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Yes, Hillary should drop the race. The Clintons say they "are not quitters". Well, I say they are too proud and their immense sense of entitlement would never allow her to drop the race. Lest anyone think I'm saying this because I'm an Obama supporter, let me state that I supported Hillary wholeheartedy until a few months ago - I have observed many occurrences that turned me off completely, and I cannot continue to suppport Hillary's campaign in good conscience.

Hillary is DONE!   March 30th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

YES she should drop out!
