Down to the wire in Indiana: Next move for Clinton?

[Dustybrown]

Twat needs to drop out and just conceed that she's not the better person for the job.

Seriously. I'm not surprised she didn't drop out after her hammering last night, but none the less, I was a little disappointed. I understand that she wants to fight to the end and all this bullshit (didn't she compare herself to Rambo at one point? wtf?) but seriously it's time to concede defeat. She's behind in everything but the superdelegates (barely) and she touts bullshit about how she's better suited. Eh, no. Give it up already.

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

For Hillary to even suggest that they should count Michigan is retarded since she went to them and said "look can you only put my name on the ballot so if it comes down to the wire I can steal this thing?"

Um, no. Obama took himself off the ballot in Michigan.

For how much her Campaign has screamed about 'every vote counting' with regards to Michigan and Florida, that somehow she wants a 'do over' or somesuch nonsense, could she even afford it? NPR this morning said she'd used $6.4 million of her own finances to make it through the last month.

They only say it because it puts the ball in Obama's court and makes him look "bad" if he doesn't agree to put up for it, which he won't, because he seems to be allergic to fucking retarded ideas that have no basis in reality. Which obviously means he'd be a horrible president.

I think Hillary's camp will bring in lawyers before she drops out. The democrat system for getting nomination is so messed up, it works like a popular vote (you don't win the whole state), that, in the end doesn't matter because of superdelegates.

Either way, it's fun to watch.. Although, I am still amazed at the support Obama has gotten.

Her strategy at this point is to smear, smear and smear some more and if that doesnt work bring up Wright, talk about how cutting the gas tax will do so much for 'working-class' americans and boast about how down to earth she is. At this point i wonder how much a person can blatently lie and get away with it. (hell, all pols lie but hillary... cmon, the pandering is getting desperate)

She will sooner kamikaze the democratic campaign and let McCain win than drop out of the race is how i see it.

[Beckwin]

Obama just got 4 more superdelegates, Hillary just loaned herself 6.4 million.

geeze just stop already hilldawg.

[Melena]

i wonder how close this would be if florida's and michigan's votes actually counted.

[Correction]

George McGovern is now calling for her to step aside. That's pretty big news. If she keeps on trucking the 'ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE' rhetoric she's going to alienate a lot of party leadership. Not listening to a close ally and a heavyweight within your own party is political suicide. Not that she was winning any points with party leadership by undermining their decisions on Florida/Michigan in the first place...at this point she should start thinking about her re-election for the Senate seat she holds.

I think she'd be winning the popular vote and depending if they count 100% or 50% of the delegates she would be within under 100 pledged delegates.

Carl Bernstein was on CNN(=POLITICS) last night talking about how she probably doesn't want to go back to the Senate, because there's little chance she would be able to get enough popularity in the Senate to become majority leader. I could see her trying to get a guarantee of VP out of Obama, which he probably doesn't want because he wouldn't want Bill hanging around all the time, so she's left with basically having to stay in the race because, for her, there's no other option.

Speaking of VP position I've been saying for months that it will probably be Edwards, as he will be able to pick up some of the more "bias" voters in the bible belt. Also after all the smearing that Clinton has been doing over the past couple months I just do not see Obama choosing her for VP.

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

Edwards can't even win in his home state (he has no base here whatsoever) and did nothing for Kerry. Edwards is also similar to Obama, a one term Senator with no experience. He'll pick someone with experience. If Obama is about "change" Edwards also makes no sense. I'm going with Bill Richardson or Michael Bloomberg.

Cliffnotes: Hillary says she will remain in race until there is a candidate.

Why, is she so stubborn and thick headed?! Go home, and give up....we don't want you as the Democratic nominee...or you'd have more numbers in your favor.

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

Why should she drop out? She has a chance to win the rest of the primaries except for Oregon I think it is. Obama also built this lead before the Wright story broke out. I bet if the story broke before super Tuesday Hillary would be winning.

She should drop out because she's not cutting into Obama's lead at all in spite of the Wright incident. She should drop out because she's broke and wasting time better spent preparing a single candidate for the general election. She should drop out because major party leaders are saying she should drop out.

Any more reasons you need there, o sower of Limbaughian Chaos?

[Demosthenes11]

I love how no matter what a conservative ever writes on here, it's wrong, and then comparisons with Hannity / Limbaugh emerge. Trite one-liners are getting so fucking old

I think there are other conservatives here that don't get treated like that. They just don't post much anymore.

[Selamis]

She should drop out because even by winning the rest of the primaries, she wouldn't overcome Obama the way deligates are distributed. Her own supporter, George McGovern has advised for her to drop and give the nomination to Obama.

The Wright thing is not an issue, but the media and supporters of Hillary are determined to force it down our throats and make it an issue. Wright is a damn fool and Obama cut ties with him for his views and statements. Case closed. Where's the reason to keep bringing him up?

Showing that Obama had his huge lead before the issues with Wright came up, and he still has that huge lead, repelling two weeks of smear tactics by Clinton not to mention a complete gang rape in that joke of a debate....says a lot about him. If he was not electible as Clinton claimed, more people would have jumped on her bandwagon after the controversy started. He's got a strong character, and is more working class to me, a white, middle class american male than she ever will be. She's always been smug and had a sense of entitlement, and the older folks, and women just think that she's the best thing ever. She's just like one of us! Please, she's the furthest thing from it.

When your own people are telling you it's time to give it up, common sense says to listen to them instead of ignoring them outright and continuing to drag out this drama.

[Beckwin]

swampy has trite one-liners in every one of his posts (see his sig), so quit trying to play him up as a victim.

your qq'ing because no one here buys into neocon bullshit is what's old.

Hillary isn't making a dent and has been on the losing end of superdelegate commitments in the recent months. She can only draw this out; she can't realistically win it.
