Time for Hillary to drop out for the good of the country.

[smoogatz]

If Mittens can own up to reality and take one for the team, shouldn't Hillary be big enough to do the same? I'm just sayin'.

1. Nominated for stupidest post of the day! NT

[goldcanyonaz]

4. Unfortunately it's still early.

[smoogatz]

5. Nah.

THIS was the stupidest post of the day:

[Donnachaidh]

9. both written by you

:rofl:

[smoogatz]

16. Damn straight.

If you can't beat 'em...

[Donnachaidh]

6. Seconded.

But I think this call for Hill to drop out is primed by the FEAR of the debates Obama is blowing off.

[Matariki]

35. Thirded

;-)

[Greyskye]

54. no THIS is the stupidest post of the day (ALL THREE)

[TheDeathadder]

2. This makes no sense

[niyad]

3. why should she? unlike mittens, she and obama are nearlyh equal in delegates. why should she?

[smoogatz]

14. The last thing we need is a long, dragged-out primary fight.

It gives McCain a huge advantage. I think that in the interest of not having two moderate Republicans running in the GE, Hillary should do the honorable thing and throw in the towel.

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. Time for the guy with the least amount of votes to drop out for the good of the country. n/t

[BluegrassDem]

8. I agree. Hillary needs to do what's best for the party

I would have the greatest amount of respect for her is she dropped out. She's a wonderful senator and she will be able to still work on behalf of the people of NY.

[End Of The Road]

12. What's best for the party is for Hillary to STAY IN -- and WIN nt

[niyad]

15. why would her dropping out be best for the party? I am more concerned with

what is best for the country, NOT a particular party or state.

[juajen]

17. Why, my yes, she should know her place and stay there!

NT

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. why would the winner drop out? possibly the dumbest idea ever.

48. Do you mean Fascist Opportunist?

[sunonmars]

Funny, if Obama's so noble, why can't he do it for the sake of the party

[rodeodance]

19. he is only their SAVIOR--

[LiberalFighter]

52. He is the anointed one. He can walk on water. He can turn water into wine.

If you look at him you will see a halo over his head.

[MadHound]

11. Hillary's ego and lust for power weren't allow her to do such a thing

She is willing to destroy the party, just so long as she gets the nomination. The sad thing is, if she gets the nomination, especially through the undemocratic route of super delegates, she doesn't have a chance against McCain. Nothing will galvanize the right like a Hillary nomination, and they will swarm out to vote against her. Meanwhile many disgruntled Dems will go for McCain, and the anti-war left will either go Green or stay home.

[greyghost]

26. Right Karnac, now for your next envelope...

[MadHound]

30. LOL,

I've been playing this political game for a long time, and have a very good track record. Tell you what, if Hillary gets the nod, PM me and we can arrange for something to make the contest more . . . interesting.

You know what they say, put up. . .

[greyghost]

68. I go back to McGovern myself...

you might be in for a surprise vis-a-vis the Hill against McCain.

At any rate, I'm at the point were a truly believe either one can beat the old man.

Here's my Karnac moment; Obama will be offered the VP slot and will accept it, you can take that to the bank. TPTB don't think he's ready for primetime quite yet.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. the fact that she is winning is the reason she shouldnt quit

:eyes:

[rodeodance]

13. What a thrashy vile post!

[smoogatz]

20. Hi rodeo!

:P

[rodeodance]

39. hey--I had lots of snow to shovel today--how about you?

[smoogatz]

44. Started around 9:00, then petered out.

Thank God.

[rodeodance]

46. ha ha--i got my exercise when the sun came up--but today is a beatiful day--see yah around.

[LiberalFighter]

53. I heard that Janesville had 18" of snow

Here in Ft Wayne I have just a bit more than a light covering of snow while about 10 miles south streets are flooded in the city and roads in Kosciusko and Whitley counties NW of me have turned into what Hoosiers call lakes.

I'm looking forward to real snow when I move back to Wisconsin.

[John Q. Citizen]

27. From an expert on trashy and vile, no doubt!

[rodeodance]

42. yup--I is the expert:-)

[mudesi]

18. Agreed (nm)

[phantom power]

21. They're, like, tied. You're making no sense.

[TheDeathadder]

22. Just as many people want the Clintons

to stay in the race and see her as the clear winner. many people see Clinton as a hero of the Democratic Party. If there's a case for Hillary to drop out, there's an equal case for Obama to drop out, but we're not seeing an endless amount of DU Post headlines saying "Obama should drop out for the good of the country."

Let the Primary play itself out through strength and facts and not needless pleads from both camps for the two candidates to drop out when there is not a reason to do so.

[joshcryer]

23. OK so she's 5 pledged delegates behind and should drop out? Are you trolling?

[smoogatz]

24. Woo hoo!

Made the greatest page!

[LittleClarkie]

28. Nobody's dropping out

Neither one.

Get over it.

[newmajority]

29. Absolutely, she should drop out

This country will never recover until we are rid of both the Bushes and the Clintons, and all they brought with them. (war profiteering, DLC, etc.)

[terrya]

31. No

Why should she drop out?

:shrug:

[John Q. Citizen]

32. I think you are correct. After next week she's going to trailing badly in delegates,

and will have lost contests in another 5 or so states.

However, I doubt the good of the country or the party are foremost concerns of hers.
She's going to cling on all the way until the bitter end.

[Ytzak]

33. According to CNN...Clinton 873 Obama 741 Edwards 26

CNN TOTAL DELEGATE ESTIMATE*s updated 2:05 p.m. EST, February 7, 2008

Yes, some of those are the "Super Delegates" that can flip anytime they want, but the Democrtic Party has yet to show which of the big two they want. Neither of the candidates should withdraw. Let the Decmocratic party members decide.

Mittens had 286 to McCain's 714, with Huckabee at 181. MIttens had spent 50 million of his own money and more of other peoples money to be only a distant second. The Republican Party did not want him.

[RockyTorres]

34. When you raise $6 Million and are still the front runner

you do not drop out of the race...You stay in and win the nomination like predicted!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. yup,

:thumbsup:

[theHandpuppet]

36. And I'm just sayin'....

What a freaking stupid post. It's folks like you who have turned me to Hillary after Edwards dropped out.

[Matariki]

37. Question - is there an exemption on flamebait posts in GD-Primaries?

[WilyWondr]

38. LMAO

:rofl:


Almost as bad as the "Edwards to endorse Clinton" burning fake thread.


Thanks

[elixir]

40. Obamination showing it's true colors. Just like BO did in IL, you want to eradicate the competition

before it's voting time. RElax, sit back and enjoy the show. It's just beginning.

[rodeodance]

45. about one of silliest, daydreaming posts i have seen.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. isnt she leading in delegates? romney barely won anything.

[Az_lefty]

47. the Clintons will tear everything down in the process of losing...

it's their style.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

56. which politician would quit while they are winning?

[StevieM]

49. I know....the nerve of the voters to think that they have a say in who wins the election (eom)

x

[Uben]

50. Yes, it is time...

...for the candidate that is trailing in elected and super delegates and popular vote to step down. That would be Barack Obama.
He is dividing the party and prolonging his defeat.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

57. thank you.

[Major Hogwash]

61. The size of Obama's feet have nothing to do with it.

That was mean and not nice at all.

LoL

[greyghost]

69. He'll get the VP slot.

[Girlieman]

51. Amen! K&R

[Jed Dilligan]

55. We want the race to stay close to the bitter end

Less time for the attack machine to operate after the nomination.

[Major Hogwash]

60. Which country?

I'm all for saving countries, but which one are you referring to?

[StrongBad]

62. I'm for Obama

But this is silly.

[Political Heretic]

63. Hrm... look at my icon and I don't even think so. Why would it be good for the country?

I don't get it.

Why do we assume that people passionately involved in the election process, closely supporting two clearly qualified candidates is somehow a bad thing?

I think its amazing how many previously dispassionate people Obama has managed to get fired up enough to participate in the process, and I think its great that Senator Clinton represents capable leadership and intelligence that long time democrats - and the rest of the freakin country - can admire. Even though I am one of those "twenty years of two family rule is enough" people (that's a really big issue for me), I think Hillary Clinton is a phenomenal woman, and I'm extremely excited to have a democratic woman and a democratic African American both inspiring so many people.

They outclass anyone the Republicans have by leaps and bounds.

Yes, I have a very strong preference - to the point that I will even be very sad if my candidate does not get the nomination. I COULD go into all the reasons I don't support Hillary, but I chose not to right now. Because I feel like we have lost so much perspective during the course of this primary. We need to start getting it back before the general.

[libbygurl]

64. Har, har! nt

[ileus]

65. she'll bring us 50 states in 2008 obamas time to go.

[BringBigDogBack]

66. kick.

just sayin.

[krabigirl]

67. wow

[OneBlueSky]

70. too many powerful interests have too much invested for her to drop out . . . n/t

.

[NMMNG]

71. ....

[dailykoff]

72. Absofuckinlutely.

She should have dropped out after Iowa but instead her puppetmasters stuck to the W playbook. What do you know, it didn't work. She's a true troll and her tricks are stale and it's just a matter of time before even the Latinos figure it out.
