Poll question: If Hillary loses the PA primary, should she drop out?
Or would that be a new opportunity for her to spin triumphant fantasies?

1. Nope. Let it continue to play out until all the primaries end
Then her supporters can see that Obama won it fair and square.

3. I actually agree with that. The monster needs to be vanquished once and for all. n/t

8. If Obama wins PA I will believe he fairly won the nomination
There would be no point to go on any longer. If Hillary won Indianna, NC and Oregon, it would be over for Obama also, not technically but effectively. If either candidate collapses in their base now something about their campaign has imploded to the point where they will not become our nominee

2. If Hill LOST PA, she would have no choice...
It would be a de-facto dropping out for her. It's not going to happen though, as much as I would like it to, People in PA are just too Clinton imbalanced.

4. She needs to win PA, KY, and IN
That's the absolute minimum she needs to stay viable.

9. That;s my thoughts. No money = no campaign.
Turn out the lights, the party is over.

6. She already has money problems
if she lost PA funding would virtually stop. She would have no choice but to leave the race.

7. Other.
I do not think she is going to lose Pennsylvania. At least not in terms of popular vote.

There is a financial issue with the Clinton campaign which may be making it unlikely she will drop our after PA. Because of that, I think the contest will go on until at least June. That said, I wish that the democratic primary would be based on the positive aspects of the democratic party, and the negatives associated with the republicans.

10. Fuck it. She should 'suspend' her campaign at that point
and get the money she needs to pay down her debts. She would have to forgive her $5 million loan and eat it as a loss. After 5 months of stiffing vendors, it's time to make good with them, otherwise in 2012 when she plans to 'run' again for president, all the vendors are going to demand cash up front because she'll be known as 'deadbeat' candidate.

12. Maybe I should start a poll: If Barack's nose starts growing like Pinnochio's, should he drop out?
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 10:01 AM by Seabiscuit
It would have the same value as this one: none.

Come to think of it, I think I will.

13. Hillarys lead in PA has dropped 20 pts in the last month.
47-42 is within the margin of error. You're perfectly free to ignore reality, but that won't make it go away.
