It looks like Hillary has won Indiana. I think she will stay in and keep fighting. Interesting article: Clinton's Fate Hangs In The Balance, Politico: If She Can Survive Tuesday, Clinton Will Face More Favorable Terrain Going Forward - CBS News "If Hillary Rodham Clinton wins in either Indiana or North Carolina Tuesday, the primary election terrain suddenly begins to look more favorable to her than at any other point since Super Tuesday Feb. 5. For the first time since February, she will enter a month-long stretch of states where a variety of factors leave her well-positioned to win or compete in most of them." |

| I was under the impression that never of them have enough points to win the nomination, With that being sad, I think she continue. I personally don't have any connection with Barrack, I don't find him as charming as everyone else does. At least with Clinton, I know what I am getting....I don't feel the same way toward Barrack.

While I agree that she can't get the numbers, I don't think he can unless she concedes. So, I guess she is hanging on. This should get interesting.

I have to agree, though I am not really "pushing" for either of them. With him I keep thinking of a suspense or horror movie where the person has everyone convinced he/she is a model citizen and one of them, and then when they least expect it and have their guard down, he rips off his fake face and there stands a martian or something. ..LOL! Honestly, in reality I keep thinking there's a shoe somewhere waiting for a cue.

I personally think that we have already had Hillary in office and what did we get? A big fat nothin is what we got. Her husband was impeached and any woman that stands by her man when he cheated and then lied to the American public does not deserve to be in office . I also don't think that this country at this point in time is ready for a woman to run the country. I am for any woman but not at this time. Barrak is the better choice at this time.

Obama a Manchurian candidate? I think he's been totally vetted by now. |

I personally don't think Obama should be elected. Anyone who does not believe in our troops or who won't salute our American Flag Should not be our President..I do believe he is putting a good front on,especially when the priest he was so proud to stand beside (for so many years) is now outting all the secrets: hate they believed in...I don't believe this is something new.. As for Hillary I think she is better than him. As for the affair that was a personal matter that should have stayed personal. That did not effect his decides as a president.. How would you like someone telling you what to do in a very personnaly matter?? RIGHT it's know one's business... |

Urban Legends Reference Pages Agree with you about Hillary. I know that I'm not God. It's not up to me to judge. If I was though, there'd be thunderbolts sticking out of Bus's, Cheney's and other's backs. |

I don't see the point of her continuing on. In the past week alone, Barack has picked up 11 superdelegates - 6 of them today! She can't catch up EVEN if she got Florida and Michigan (where she wasn't supposed to be running but reneged on that promise also). There's nothing left for her. at all.

I think it is great that all states are getting a chance to participate. True Democracy at work. Clinton never promised not to run in Michigan and Florida. Nope didnt happen. She believes ALL Americans votes should count. After all, the Florida and Michigan voters did not have an option of when their primaries were held. Now do I believe Obama will be the nominee. Yes I do. But continuing this and showing that this is a true Democracy is very good for the Democratic party. And good for America. I am really looking forward to the Obama/McCain debates. McCain doesnt have a chance. |

Three of the major Democratic presidential candidates on Saturday pledged not to campaign in Florida, Michigan and other states trying to leapfrog the 2008 primary calendar, a move that solidified the importance of the opening contests of Iowa and New Hampshire. Hours after Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina agreed to sign a loyalty pledge put forward by party officials in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York followed suit. The decision seemed to dash any hopes of Mrs. Clinton relying on a strong showing in Florida as a springboard to the nomination. “We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process,” Patti Solis Doyle, the Clinton campaign manager, said in a statement. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/us...cs/02dems.html Quote:

And Democracy is that everyone gets an opportunity and a say. She has ever right to be in the race as she has not broken any rules. Sorry it is you who are wrong on this. All this is sooo goood for the country. Not sure why anyone would not want it to play out. I know the media is trying to convince everyone that Clinton has no right to be there. But that is just pure manipulation. ETA: Clinton Camp Says Obama Breaks Florida-Campaign Pledge | The New York Observer Last edited by sharkiz1; 05-10-2008 at 09:01 AM. Reason: add a link |

It's parsing her words to say that Clinton never promised not to run. She may not have promised not to run, but she certainly agreed that, running or not, the votes wouldn't count. |

As to Obama's ads, he had a regional buy in which it was not possible to exclude Florida. However, he obtained the specific permission of the DNC to run those ads. So if you call that campaigning, it was done with the blessing of the DNC. I wouldn't mind Clinton campaigning as long as she wants but for the fact that she's continually trashing Obama, the eventual inevitable nominee. She's providing McCain with campaign material and sound bites. She's behaving as though her fondest wish is to so gut Obama that he can't possibly win, leaving the way clear for her to run in 2012. |

Do a google search " hillary clinton run as an independent" Will Hillary Clinton Run As An Independent? "Will Hillary Clinton follow the suit of Theodore Roosevelt who ran as an independent candidate after loosing the nomination of the Republican Party in 1912? According to some members of the former first lady's inner circle, such a possibility is seriously considered. Joe Rohtstein of U.S. Politics Today wrote on April 24 that Clinton as an independent would win among women and Hispanics, defeating Obama in most populous states and endangering McCain in the South. If the Republican candidate performed poorly, she would stand a chance to win the entire national presidential election." |
