Hillary should stay, moreover, the race is no where near the end

Prove that simple arithmetic still works, then you will have your entire argument.
Gone Crazy, Back Soon: That's an out and out lie. Those numbers you are talking about do not include votes from IA, NV, ME, WA or MI where people were not even given the opportunity to select Obama if they wanted too. If you include all these states, which you can't becuase they don't count the popular vote there (becuase PV is not what a primary is about), then Hillary DOES NOT have more people voting for her than anyone else in history, Obama does. Unfortunately Clinton has misled you to believe that popular vote is even counted AT ALL in an election. It's simply a statistic that isn't really kept, or counted accurately. IT's a sham. The only thing that matters is DELEGATES this is how the system was designed. This is how the system works. You can't base the outcome of an election on a metric that isn't even accurately recorded, when you have a perfectly accurate in delegates that was arrived at based on the rules of the contest. The very idea is ludicrous. Super Delegates will not buy it.

enable's see how properly Obama does in larger states like California, Florida and manhattan till now we evaluate him as a intense contender, we'd desire to? SC, like Iowa, is a microdot interior the bigger US political subject. Make no mistake, i think of Obama brings a sparkling length to US politics, and can be somewhat happy if he have been powerful. yet, I want Hillary, with Barack as vice chairman.

No, the longer she's in, the more credence the next female candidate gets. This should got to the convention anyway. What's the point of dropping out this late?

Hillary has accumulated more popular votes (17 million +) than ANY OTHER PRIMARY CONTENDER in the history of the USA, including BO. Why should she drop out at this point.
Additionally, she is arguably the only candidate who could beat McCain. MILLIONS of us (perhaps 28% of 17 million) may vote for McCain if she is NOT the nominee.
So you may end up with a choice. Hillary for President NOW or John McCain AS PRESIDENT ELECT in November.
No, Hillary should not drop out of the race. I don't like her and I'm not voting for her but the race isn't over yet and she shouldn't just quit.

She can stay in, but she won't be doing anything but continuing to divide. The nomination is sealed as of tonight, Obama has the majority of the delegates and there is no way she can catch him. Her strategy at this point is to tell the SD's that a black man can't win, and all that does is make her look bad.
She cannot win.

No.
Hillary should stay in this to the convention.
She won nearly all the Democrat states, and the battleground states. In other words, she won where it will count in the general election.
Obama racked up his delegates with many red state victories. According the the electorial polls, he is not carrying a single one of them in the general election.
This needs to go to the convention.

no, if she can convince the committee to count Florida and Michigan votes, then she could try to persuade the super delegates to back her because of the most popular vote getter. if the committee see that she might be the strongest candidate to go up against McCain in Nov......
i, for 1, hope she can pull it off.........
good luck Hillary

Just say:
I think Hillary should drop out of the race because she just won Kentucky and West Virginia by more than 30 points each.
For the rest of the debate people will be laughing so hard you won't have to come up with any more reasons.

yes she is down in all catergories
pledged delegates
super delegates
popular votes
# of a states
and the math she says she has to win remaining states by 60 pts and get many super delegates ro defect which is impossible the only thing she can achieve is to fracture the party

The party's chances are doomed in norvember if she doesn't. the Republicans love hillary at this point, because she's pointing out all of Barack's negatives inexperienced, doesn't resinate w/ blue collar voters, weak on defense, etc.

No. She has come too far and is too close to drop out now. If we have an Obama/Clinton or Clinton./Obama ticket. In a race that's this close after this many months, that's what needs to happen.

nope, why? because how many republican states has odumbo won? how many republican states that have never voted democrat EVER in a general will be needed for odumbo to win? he can't win traditional swing states either.

no,Obama is unelectable and Hillary is the Democrats only chance
2008-05-20 19:45:18 UTC
No, she shouldn't drop out. She still has a chance to take the nomination, especially if the Democratic National Convention allows Florida and Michigan to have their elections validated and their delegates seated.

how 'bout sticking up for your own kind and getting indignant that the men took it from the girl?
(don't you know this stuff is for keeps?)

.....no. Mc Pain should save money and drop out now
2008-05-20 19:45:57 UTC
no she should fight until the very end. what is the point of dropping out when your already this far. Plus it shows that she has perseverance.
2008-05-20 19:48:41 UTC
No. Obviously from the vote in KY people are out voting for her.

The math, you can play with the delegate calculator and clearly see there is no way should could possibly win:
