If Hillary loses Wisconsin by more than 10 points, she should step aside. |
|
I have marginally supported Hillary over Obama, but I cannot justify her staying in this race if she loses Wisconsin decisively. Losses in Ohio and Texas would be likely if she can't pull off a close finish here. I would say, for the good of the party, she should step down in the face of a large Wisconsin loss.

1. Nope. The race should continue until Obama wins the nomination soundly |
|
Dropping out before the Final Act just opens up the possibility of the superdelegate problem.
This race is not over by a long shot.

7. And why should she quit when she is leading in both states? |

Just the opposite. With a decisive loss in WI she almost ensures a superdelagate problem barring she improbably completely dominates OH, TX and PA. That would be almost miraculous at this point.
The longer she stays in, the larger the superdelagates loom.

2. I support Obama, and I do not share that view |
|
I DO think that is she loses badly in Wisconsin and gets swept on March 4th, THEN she should step aside, but it's not the end of the world for this thing to go to March or even April. Never count out the Clintons. That's a BIG mistake.

3. Keeping this thing dragging on is a big mistake |
|
Wasting millions on each other is a mistake. Not organizing for the GE is a mistake. Letting McCain run free for months is a mistake.

5. This is the truth that so many people are letting their egos get in the way of. |

They are practically neck and neck. NM is still to be counted. FL and MI are still to be allocated and super delegates will probably go all the way to the convention. The problem is going to be in them maintaining their funds to continue campaigning. I will start next week donating small amts. on a bi-weekly basis. I hope everyone is planning on contributing that supports her if they can. She will need it. Obama is getting great amounts of money, some from my own well off family. Afraid I can't match them. WOW, that man had deep pockets, don't he? You have to admit, it certainly makes for an exciting election. If it got settled too quickly, there would be a huge letdown.

9. let's just see how this plays out |
|
and let the primary that we've all waited years for be the primary we've all waited years for. this thing is most likely going to play out in Pennsylvania.
