I agree with Richardson - It is now time for Hillary to step aside.

[Hawkeye-X]

As we stand right now, there are a lot of factors going against Hillary right now. First of all, the legislature of MI and FL are not going to do the re-do at all, so the so-called "popular vote" evaporated for Hillary, and she still does not have the lead in delegates, and she's starting to really bleed superdelegates. Obama has won 30 states to Clinton's 14. The math is not favorable at all for Hillary, and Pelosi has warned Hillary that the SD will not follow arm-twisters, so she is now officially running a lost cause. It no longer matters what happens in PA, and the remaining states, because the message from Bill Richardson, once a strong Clinton supporter, is backing Obama because he has all the numbers, the voters, and certainly the delegates and very shortly - superdelegates will outnumber Hillary.

I know many of you ardent and stubborn Clinton supporters will label me insane and stupid - and your message tells me that you refuse to open your eyes and see the writing on the wall. This week I have seen few Clinton supporters willing to back Obama, and that, itself, is a surprise. I have seen stubborn Clinton supporters conceding defeat and backing Obama. Apparently, Obama's three speeches have made a huge impact on a lot of people. You see the YouTube views of Obama's speech on race that has broken records even for YouTube itself. I'm sure there will be more views that will continue to shatter records when they see his other speeches on Iraq and economy.

It is clear to me that there are still some "supporters" (and I say this because I can smell them) that have absolutely no purpose but to see Clinton nominated because they want to see Obama destroyed - well guess what? Obama is rising in polls again, and tomorrow the last of the lowest since the pastorgate (which I have repeated in my many posts that it is a manufactured controversy and has nothing to do with Obama - he has done the right thing since then) will be gone. Obama will overtake Hillary and will _most_ likely remain there until the nomination is confirmed.

I urge, nay, beg you to rethink your support for Clinton, and re-read Obama's website. If you are a one-issue voters, I suggest that you take a look at other issues that you may have, and compare it with Obama, and do it. I'm a multiple issue voter, and my original choice was John Edwards. I have spent time researching both Clinton and Obama, and by choice, and long after the caucus which I have decided to fully support Barack Obama.

I hope you are with me - if not, then I wish you best of luck.

1. any way to seperate obama from his alleged 'supporters' on DU? nt

[Major Hogwash]

10. No, we are in this together. We are all being affected by the racism from Hillary's campaign.

Especially from that over-the-top, "loon of the month", Geraldine Ferraro.

14. See people. You can be derisive and funny at the same time?

... netting no excess loathing. Let's all give it a try.

7. No wonder Hillary won't watched the perfect union speech

If she had, even she would know it was time to step aside.

6. HRC would regain so much of my respect if she did. If she is religous better to act in conscience.

I hope she listens to her heart.

[krkaufman]

15. Opportunities are passing her by.

She would have regained a LOAD of respect, from me, had she defended Obama and muslims during her '60 Minutes' appearance, or if she'd stepped-in to defend Rev. Wright. Instead, the opportunities slip away, and she, her spouse, and her campaign continue to damage her reputation.

8. Clinton needs to be a Senator now...

The race is done. She won't blow-out Obama in PA, his ground game is very strong there.

[BlackVelvet04]

9. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......

why in the world would she drop out when she's up in the polls and he's down and steeped in controversy?

[Hawkeye-X]

11. Check tomorrow's polls - Her lead will be gone..

And the controversy, as you say, is now a distant memory.

12. LOL we'll see, won't we.

sound to me like whistling through the graveyard.

13. I will vote Green if Obama is the Dem nominee.

Don't tell me my vote won't count -- it WILL count to show the Dems that voters are sick of their GOP-lite policies.

I would vote for HRC, although she's GOP-lite, because she's better than Obama.

People who voted for Obama in the primaries have all but given the White House to McCain. McCain will win my state and all the other red states Obama's supporters think he can win.

We might still beat McCain if the badly damaged Obama would withdraw now, release his delegates, and campaign actively for HRC.

But we all know he's too much of an egotist to do that. This is the weasel who threw his own grandmother under the bus rather than denounce his bigoted surrogate father/mentor/pastor. He'll stay in the race and let the GOP hit him with the rest of the ammo they have stored away, mow him down in November.

The Dems always know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. HRC could have won the presidency easily but an arrogant freshman senator decided to be a spolier.

Obama is a stalking horse for the GOP or perhaps the BFEE.

17. Your time here is limited then.. enjoy while you can.

[Capn Sunshine]

16. Hillary will be hearing from her superdelegates very soon

I spoke to over 100 of them this week, there's a threshold about to be crossed and it ain't the "commander in chief" one.

18. CNN POll: 60 % SAY OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/18/poll.quality/index.html

Maybe Obama should step down himself...60 % says he has not the right stuff to be commander in chief..
