When will Sen. Hillary Clinton withdraw from the race?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

the opportunities have not only shrunk, they have all but disappeared. From anecdotal stories, from news articles, and from polling number trends, the result is obvious. The question is when.

1. why do you need a poll for this?

All you've done here, with this poll, is ask and answer yourself.

How creepy.

2. Never count it out!

Boys that make good sense.

3. Yet another thread showing us why Obama supporters

are offensive. Your Mother would be proud.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. she supported Obama long before I did.

And yes, she would be proud.

9. Supporting Obama and being obnoxious are not synonyms. nt

13. I think you have a lock on the latter, however,

regardless of how badly your candidate has run her campaign into the ground.

5. you do know that the TX primary doesn't end on Tueday...it goes until June......

only 100 or so of the delegates will be awarded on Tuesday...the other 100 won't be determined until after the caucus in June

[Major Hogwash]

8. You know that she won't have a majority on Tuesday, so we won't have to wait until June.

You've seen the polls in Texas, haven't you?

6. the day after Obama concedes to her. Then she'll withdraw & start preparing for the General Election

7. Not soon enough. nt

10. Not until the game warden fires the hypo rifle

and it'll probably take more than one shot to bring her down.

11. Sen. Clinton could win Rhode Island, Texas, and Ohio, which would

obviously bolster the rationale for her candidacy for our nomination.

Or she could win Rhode Island and Ohio, the latter by 4-6%, which would buy some time and turf but not clinch the nomination. If Sen. Obama wins Texas, either has a strong argument for becoming the nominee.

I think Sen. Obama wins Vermont hands down; it looks like Sen. Clinton will take Rhode Island.

If Sen. Obama does really well in the SW Ohio counties, he will win Ohio. If he doesn't do as well as Clinton in those counties, she wins Ohio. Just my take.

If Senator Obama wins Texas, Vermont, and Ohio, Senator Clinton still has a palaceful of delegates and could argue that she should remain in the race but the pressure to withdraw on her from within the party -- at all levels -- is going to be titanic.

I personally feel the rationale for her candidacy took a decisive, outcome-altering blow in Wisconsin.

Also it feels as if the next three or four days are going to be tense and contentious.
