Matthews and Andrea Mitchell calling for Hillary to Drop out after she wins Ohio and Rhode Island!

[KoKo]

:rofl: I guess we finally know which candidate "Corporate GE" and Alan Greenspan & wife are supporting.!

[washingdem]

1. She needs to drop out for the good of the party if she loses in TX

[End Of The Road]

9. Nope

"For the good of the party" = "for the good of your candidate, Obama."

I'm tired of this "for the good of the party" stuff.

Let 'em duke it out awhile longer.

[washingdem]

11. Incorrect

[rodeodance]

24. hA HA HA AHA

[TankLV]

57. Funny, now that HILLARY WON TEXAS, you all don't seem to be clamoring for HIM to drop out!!!

HA!

[DJ13]

2. Maybe they are good Dems who dont want a divided party?

Never thought of that I bet.

[bilgewaterbill]

23. Yeah! That's the ticket!

[ccpup]

3. you're kidding, right?

and these people still have jobs where the public is supposed to trust them? :eyes:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

4. You do understand that she is still mathematically eliminated?

Unless you believe she can really pull off 60%+ wins in every single remaining state.

[AZBlue]

8. No, they can't. They've lost touch with reality.

I give up - they can live in their own happy little world.

[Beausoir]

17. No. Your math is wrong. Your meme is getting tired and road-worn.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

39. Ok, then what is your math?

Just give me your answers to these questions:

How many delegates are up for grabs in the remaining states?
What is Obama's current delegate lead?
By what percentage does Hillary have to win those remaining states to equal Obama's delegate lead?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

18. Even more fear-mongering won't do the trick.

[NeedleCast]

20. Nope, they don't

and they wont. Hillary will not come close to the margin she needed to win Texas by in order to significantly close the delegate count. After today, she probably doesn't win any other states except PA. That wont stop her supporters from cheering about the fact that she's won 3 of 15 states since Super Tuesday (assuming she wins Texas...and I think she will, by 2-5%).

Hillary Clinton. Bad for Math. Bad for America.

[Bake]

33. If there's an "unless," then she's not mathematically eliminated.

Your logic is dazzling. Oh wait ... no it's not.

Bake

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

49. I won't be a millionaire tomorrow unless I win the lottery

See how that works?

[Bake]

52. And if you didn't buy a lottery ticket

Then it IS impossible for you to be a millionaire tomorrow. But if you DID buy a ticket ...

Yeah, I see how it works.

Bake

[citizen snips]

40. You are not considering the superdelegate factor.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

42. You mean the 50 superdelegates pledging for Obama tomorrow?

[citizen snips]

44. link?

[SoCalDem]

43. Three Cheers for Hillary Huckabee...(only Huck was a friendly, puppy-dog kind of guy)

This female Huckabee is a pit bull, and will tear the flesh from anyone who dares to not change the rules so she can win..or who dares to complain when she hints that they "might be a muslim".. "or that McCain would be better than they are" ..


Wouldn't it be a hoot, if 619 or so sooopers pledged to Obama, and gave him the 2025 :evilgrin:

[MonkeyFunk]

50. neither candidate is going to get there on pledged delegates

[maddiejoan]

5. They're wrong!

Hillary shouldn't drop out until AFTER she WINS Texas as well.

:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Actually she is raising the specter of '68

and you know what? She does have a slight point

Disclaimer, at this point they are BOTH media creations...

So I will be holding my nose come November

So yes, I am watching this as an outsider

[anamandujano]

7. Matthews and Andrea Mitchell need to stuff it.

[trueblue2007]

15. Matthews and Mitchell are morons. The don't speak for US

they speak for evil corporations.

[Hepburn]

35. And so does Hillary Clinton.

Your point?

[beachmom]

10. If she doesn't drop out then we will lose in November. But hey, laugh it up all you want. nt

[KoKo]

16. Why do you believe this? Do you have inside info the rest of us don't ?

:shrug:

[rpannier]

46. Disciple of Nostradamus and a professional tea leaf reader

But, it only extends to political campaigns

because they'd have won the lottery at least three times if it predicted anuthing else

[Lilith Velkor]

53. It's the Grim!

"You are in grave danger, my dear."

[Unsane]

12. If she loses TX she needs to drop out.

[Justyce]

22. Nobody needs to drop out unless they choose to. Why not let

democracy work and let all the states vote?

[Unsane]

25. Because it would kill the party and our chances in November?

[Justyce]

30. Says who? The media? I don't buy it, but either way, all states should have a chance to

cast their votes.

[Dinger]

13. She's A Vampire Dontcha Know!

I heard that somewhere.:evilgrin:

[Birthmark]

45. Really?

I heard werewolf. You hear the damnedest things, you know?

[Blue_In_AK]

14. They really are incredibly biased...

...and they don't even try to hide it.

[KoKo]

19. I would never have guessed that General Electric would support Obama over Hillary...

I find that very strange..

[Blue_In_AK]

26. Things that make you go

hmmm.......

[Gore1FL]

21. she is out of it by realistic mathemaatics.

[Roxy66]

27. OMG...Keith is beside himself

[bridgit]

29. Dude's freak'n out!!

:freak:

[bridgit]

28. They've all snapped their cookies, KO is trying to explain away his "Keith#"...

:rofl:

[nickinSTL]

31. sigh. I voted for Clinton. I'm not convinced Obama is the better

candidate.

BUT. Clinton has virtually no chance for the nomination. Especially if she can't pull it out in Texas.

For the good of the party? Well, that's how it's often put.

Here's my take.

The longer Clinton stays in, the longer she will be engaged in negative campaigning against the party's eventual nominee. The longer that happens, the harder it will be for many Clinton supporters to support Obama in November, and the more Clinton does McCain's job of tearing down Obama.

For the best chance in November, Clinton should drop out before her attacks on Obama cripple our chances of a strong showing against McCain.

[LisaL]

37. How is Obama going to win the GE?

If he is not doing so well in OH and FL?

[nickinSTL]

48. you're assuming that Obama-Clinton is predictive of Obama-McCain

I don't necessarily think that holds.

However, the results in OH do lead one to think that Obama will need to focus heavily on analyzing what caused that and how to best address it. FL is potentially a different matter. The fact that Dems didn't campaign there for the primary mean to me that the results aren't necessarily indicative of what they would have been had they campaigned there. For instance, I've heard that Obama has tended to poll better in a state after making public appearances. In other words, when people get to see him up close, they like what they see. Floridians didn't get that chance. So, I don't consider Clinton's win there necessarily an accurate picture. Same with Michigan, for the same reason.

[UALRBSofL]

32. MSNBC They are so depressed and are telling Hillary to drop out

I can't believe it. As she makes her speech they are trying to push her to her grave.

[senseandsensibility]

34. Really?

They must have started this very recently. Up until a few minutes ago it sounded like the opposite.

[wisteria]

36. No they are just looking at the facts. Clinton may win the battles tonight but lose the war.

The numbers don't add up for her.
She has now thrown the kitchen sink at him and used the fear card. What else does she have left? He has more money and plenty of time to now counter her Rovian tactics towards him.

[Marie26]

38. Just stop watching MSNBC

Really. I guess the only reason to watch now would be to see how sad Matthews & Olbermann look.

[C_U_L8R]

41. Even Hucklenuts has more sense

At a certain point the math doesn't work.
Hillary has not won the delegates needed to nominate
and she's just being selfish spoiler imho.
At a certain point she's going to have to face her own loss.

[shireen]

47. Chris Matthews has to drop out of cable news

I can't watch MSNBC coverage because watching Tweety HURTS!

My news dream team: Keith & Rachel.

Tweets, go retire already!

[McCamy Taylor]

51. Dudes, xwitch to CNN, they have Carl Bernstein, the brains behind the Watergate stories.

[Beacool]

54. Hey, Tweety & Mitchell: SCREW YOU!!!!!!!!!

Hillary just won Texas!!!!!!!!!!

What do you two losers have to say about that???????

:rofl:

[LulaMay]

55. They sounded like morons. My whole family was laughing out loud.

[Wetzelbill]

56. on it's face that is stupid

But Hillary is in an almost impossible position right now. She basically one tonight and ended up in the same place that she was yesterday. Maybe slightly better. Her best hope is that somehow the superdelegates overwhelmingly go her way.

[Medusa]

58. GE's chairman had already predicted she would be the nominee

and that we'd lose in the general election. He's right of course, if she is the nominee, we will lose in November, no doubt about it. Why she's already endorsed John McCain and don't think that little sound bite won't come back and bite her in the ass.
