Hillary, it's time to go home.

[milord]

Face the facts, Hillary. Obama's got the nomination locked up, you might as well pack it in. You have two ways of doing so. One is with some class, and the other is without class.
The classy way to do it would be to concede the nomination to Obama, and throw your support to him, bowing out gracefully.
The low-class way to go, which is what I expect from you, based on your recent performance, is to hold on , kicking and screaming, claiming foul, creating confusion, refusing to retire from the field, even though you have no chance of winning. You want some influence, even the tiniest measure of power will do.
I hope I'm wrong, and you, Hillary, will subside gently into the background. Let's see what happens.

1. This give up before everyone has a vote in the primary

is getting to me. How dare you!! You've been saying give up since the primary started. This is a democracy and you have no right even if you feel so entitled as to be a Obama supporter.

How about class from your Obama folks and let the thing play out until the delegates do it at the convention. That's the way it has always been.

Why don't we just go to crowning Obama the first only 49 posts from Obama headquarters?

3. This give up before everyone has a vote in the primary is getting to me.

5. Excuse me?

Hil thought she'd have it sewn up on Super Tuesday. Where was her concern for every vote then?

Oh yeah. I forgot. She changed the stakes again. :eyes:

[emilyg]

9. Thank you.

[DontTreadOnMe]

10. aaaaahhhh...

still in the state of denial.

[mac2]

14. Maybe it's you.

I see no run away primary election going to Obama.

[tblue37]

18. Does that state have any delegates? Is her name on the ballot there? n/t

[mac2]

19. Yes we pick them in the primary election.

[milord]

20. Let me give YOU an earful.

In reply to mac2---
You said that I have seen saying "give up" since the primary started, and that I have no right to say this. Today is the first time I've said anything on this subject. And you know where you can put the rest of those comments. How dare I, indeed.
Now, as far as Hillary goes, she lost my consideration the day she allied herself with the lunatic McCain in order to belittle Obama. Remember? She claimed that she had experience, and McCain had experience, and Obama had speeches. She violated every unwritten rule of campaigning by doing this. To praise the enemy in order to belittle her rival is going beyond the pale, and showed me that she would stoop to anything in order to achieve her goal. What, after all, does her experience consist of? How many home runs did Mrs.Babe Ruth claim credit for?

22. this is the first year in my life that I voted in a presidential primary with more than 1 candidate

left in the race.

Granted, I've only been voting for 20 years, but there's no reason to pretend that it's "always been" a contest until the very end.

[bookman]

2. I'm paying attention

I get the impression that some kind of arrangement is in place. Did Sen. Clinton criticize Obama or McCain?

I think she's being allowed to exit gracefully. Win WVa, Kentucky. and then bow out.

I may be wrong, but I hope it is so. I support Sen. Obama, but do so with respect for Sen. Clinton.

I look forward to the day we can come together and start attacking the flying monkeys.

[nomorewhopper]

4. the time to drop out with class was around 3 months ago

now she is in the process of ruining her career

quite a thing to witness, honestly, from a politician (who are usually so in tune with their image and reputation)

[DJ13]

6. I agree, and her supporters are doing her no favors by wanting her to stay in

[OHdem10]

7. When I make the following comments, it is because I truly wish

the Democratic Party to win the GE. Every comment has a consequence
and can be misunderstood.

Here is my point. It looks as if Obama is going to get the nomination.
Yes, I am a Hilary supporter but that does not make me a "f---ing bigot"
as I was called by someone on this board today.

Since Obama is going to get the nomination, it might be a better
path not to do everything in your power to alienate her voters.

Milord, this is not directed to you only. Your header gave me an opening.

For anyone who has contacts, it hurts Obama when any of supporters
imply that Hilary leave the race. Her followers feel just as passionately
about her as you do about Obama. The Media is doing Obama a disservice
by constantly saying Hilary should get out of the race. It looks to
average people that Obamites the Media and some in Congress are ganging
up to try to push her out. If Obama is to be President of the US
he should be strong enough to withstand anything. What I am saying
is in the end Obama will be blamed even though he may not be guilty.
The Media will slither along and if you notice, the people in Congress
mostly speak 3rd hand so to speak so they will slither away . Obama\
needs Hillary's voters. Alienating them and believing oh they will
come back for the election may end up a pipe dream. If they see her
being pushed out, healing may not come in time for the election.

Bill and Hillary are not fools, they are the best Politicians going.
No one can know what is in Hillary's mind. She is probably working
out in her own mind and heart, the best way to exit on her terms.
She has a right to this. The party is deciding to gamble on Obama.
As Scott Rasmussen says, He will either win big or lose big.
He is going to need Hillary's voters. No one has won a Democratic
election without them. Changing the electoral map is another gamble
He will still need Hillary's voters.

Criticize Hillary till your heart is content but it might be wise
to avoid the spectacle now created in the News that the Party is
pushing her out. Many Many Americans do not see her as Satan.

Americans have an uncanny sense fairness and unfairness.

Congress needs to remember the GOP rout of 94. The GOP kept telling
the Democrats they would overturn Congress and many of them would
be out of a job. My Democrats simply laughed in their face, thinking
it would never happen. Guess what Can you tell how many Democratslost
their seats in one election? American People voted and The Media
some that is said the people were acting like Brats. This really
happened.

I want Democrats to win. There is a difference in criticising
and trying to push someone out. The Media does not always give
the best example, and can turn on Obama in the twinkling of an eye.

Thank you for listening.

8. "they are the best Politicians going"..

That may have been true 15-20 years ago, but not today.

[bookman]

12. Together by June

Things get a little rough here on DU sometimes. We're all such passionate people.

Ignore the talking heads. They will miss the "horse race".

Hopefully by mid June we can come together to defeat the Republicans across the board.

Like in sports the toughest games to lose are the close ones.

We've been blessed with some great candidates. They're stuck with McCain.

[mac2]

15. I'm angry at Howard Dean for even saying "he" wanted a

declared winner before the convention in June. The convention delegates decide on the winner not Howard "I decide everything" Dean.

Dean has to go since he is taking too much power for himself.

[Window]

11. It wouldn't be so bad if she stayed in but cut out the racial crap.

But then, that's all she has left.

[The Night Owl]

13. Do people here not know that someone already won the prize for being...

...the 10,000th person to tell Hillary Clinton to go away?

[mac2]

16. Not enough people to win the primary.

[B Calm]

17. She's coming across as a BAD LOSER! A real democrat would drop out

and throw their full support for Obama. She is something else!

[milord]

21. Ditto

That's what I said. Great minds think alike, yes?
