1. Maybe for the good of the party
You should ask obama to step aside?
Seems Hillary has won all of the BIG states...California, New York, Texas...etc.
Obama cannot win without those states.

18. And why would you think that was Hillary's fault???
Did you think that Hillary supporters would just fall in behind Obama if he was the nominee??

If so, I need you to send me some of what ever it is you are smokin'! :smoke:

9. Back To Square One
And if that's the case, let's do this in a united way. Instead of all the back-and-forth finger-pointing.

11. The VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN! If you don't think they have a right to vote
for who they wish to vote for, TOO BAD. Obama should drop out now. He can't win the GE.

15. Not going to happen...
Hillary will still be behind by around 150 pledged delegates after tonight; Wyoming and Mississippi are likely Obama victories, which will add another 30 or so onto his pledged delegate lead; Obama has fifty superdelegates about to endorse; pressure from party leaders for Hillary to quit since it's mathematically impossible for her to overtake Obama will only increase. Obama still has the lead in total votes received, in pledged delegates, in states won...it's not something Hillary can overcome without winning every state going forward by margins of 20%. Which is not going to happen.

16. Give it 48 hrs.
Wiser heads will put the serious pressure on Clinton to get out.

The last thing the Democratic Party needs is a long drawn out withering sleaze-drenched Clinton Dynasty death march.

My money is on a Hillary exit by Friday.

25. Can you imagine how the BIG STATES will feel if Clinton is pressured to get out
and can you be certain that those voters will show up in November to cast a vote for obama?
I'm not that sure that they will.
And...if ALL THOSE voters don't show up in California, Texas, New York, etc...all the fucking delegates and superdelegates don't matter one whit. We will lose and we will lose big.
I feel many HERE will vote for the candidate whoever it might be...but in the real world? Not so much.
THAT scares me.

19. BO should drop out before he tears the party apart,
His only big state was Alaska and a GE doesn't vote by caucus.

Tell him to do the right thing now

24. Alaska is not a big state.
Not in terms of population.

20. oh quit yer bitchin', the brokered convention just means that the Republicans
have TWO candidates to spend money against instead of one.

They are already broke enough, this will make it worse.

21. A movement is hard to start. We Obama people have done well.
We still lead overall. Continue the fight for change. No one goes undefeated.

30. FUUUUUUUUUUUU** !
After getting so amped by the idea of actually having the chance of having a president that makes me proud to be an American, what a rancid bucket of ice-cold skunk water Hot-Flash Hill the Hack has doused me with. F***, F***, F***, F***---FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**!!!!!!
(whatever the emoticon for stunned disgust is)
