Which Remaining Democratic Candidate For President Should Drop Out?

Poll question: Which Remaining Democratic Candidate For President Should Drop Out?

on edit- there was a certain irony or sarcasm contained in the question

[AZBlue]

1. Every single media outlet has a different count of delegates and votes.

Some show Clinton ahead, some show Obama. So, it would be impossible to say which one is which. I've been looking at the different sites today and am amazed at the discrepencies.

The one thing we do know for sure is that they are too close for either one to drop out yet. There are way too many states who haven't voted yet.

2. Which is which?

The number of committed delegates is still reasonably fluid at this point.

Is that your point as well?

3. What kind of crap is this "drop out " LET THE PEOPLE VOTE - now they want to let the Super Dels

delegates decide

FIRST THE MEDIA DECIDES WHO OUR CANDIDATES ARE, AND NOW NANCY PELOSI WANT TO MAKE THE FINAL DECISION

I KNOW IM SHOUTING ..SO SHOULD YOU BE.

7. Ha

The point is that I have seen several posts that suggest Hillary drop out and I was frosted...

She has won the most votes, the most big states, and the most delegates...

And I would literally bet my home and car if there was a contested Florida primary she would still win it by double digits...

[Bucky]

10. I think you're forgetting the fact that those posts were made by idiots

Anyone making such a silly suggestion clearly doesn't understand the process and thus doesn't matter beyond their one, shallow, uninformed vote.

Anyway, Obama will beat Clinton honestly in the next big contests and win the nomination the democratic way.

16. PN, OH, TX, WV, And KY Will Put The Goddess Of Peace Over The Top

4. i say we go by alphabetical order of last names

first one that comes up drops out. :evilgrin:

[newmajority]

11. And in late breaking news tonight....

CNN has learned that Hillary Rodham has officially dropped the name "Clinton"

(That's exactly what she would do, if that were an actual rule)

[MadBadger]

5. All I watch is NBC, and they have Obama leading in Pledged Delegates.

14. Res Ipsa Loquitur

NBC News estimates Obama has 838 delegates compared to Clinton's 834. Using their own methods, other news organizations give different totals: The New York Times estimates Clinton has 892 delegates and Obama 716; ABC News gives Clinton an 872-793 edge.

Wouldn't an average or median be fairer or do we just cherry pick an estimate and make that estimate golden?

[MadBadger]

19. No, it would be best to wait to find out the exact amount of delegates.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. My Post Was A Sarcastic Reply To The Myriad Obama Posters Who Said Hillary Should Get Out

It would be like suggesting the Giants give Super Bowl rings to the New England Patriots...

Actually, I am willing to let the people decide...

The good people of PN, WV, KY, OH, and TX will put the Goddess Of Peace over the top...

6. Other: The first one to swish one from the 3 point line

8. (all three)

The one who's up in my house with disease

[Bread and Circus]

9. neither..

didn't it concern knuckleheads here even a dramatic
race like this is still a tie?

[jefferson_dem]

12. The candidate who had to dig into her own pockets for $5 million to keep her campaign afloat.

who also happens to be the candidate who is most likely to lose to McCain in the General...should be the first to go.

18. I Am Glad You Put So Much Stock In Polls Nine Months Out From An Election

I'll bet you have a picture of President Dukakis on your wall...

[NoPasaran]

13. Okay, maybe this is kind of nutty

But how about letting the remaining voters have their say?

[JVS]

15. Neither. If one of them leaves before being soundly defeated, then the supporters won't recognize..

the remaining one as legitimate.

17. My state's primary isn't until May.

I think it's terribly sad and unfair that by the time we (West Virginia) have a chance to vote, the race will have been decided by the other half of the country. Where is the democracy in that?

All the states and territories should vote on the SAME DAY, simultaneaously. If we did that, then dark horse candidates like Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, etc., might have had a fighting chance. Instead, people look around to see who their friends are voting for, and that in turn sways their votes when the time comes.

I. Hate. This. System.

22. I Concur

My post was intended to be ironic or sarcastic...

The most equitable way of choosing a nominee is to have four regional primaries with the order chosen at random... There would be two weeks separating each primary...

[ileus]

21. Everyone (including McClown) but Hillary.

[bpeale]

23. none. it ain't over till the convention

[saltpoint]

24. None. As well, I would like that to expressly indicate that Senator Gravel

should definitely stay in the race. I like him.

I liked the race for our nomination better when all 8 announced candidates were still in. The debate was broader, and richer, and more dynamic.

It felt better.
