6. Interesting.

I thought this might be a copycat thread of the "should Obama drop out" thread three or four below.

Edit: for the record, I don't think anyone should drop out, including Edwards. He's come this far, it would seem silly to drop out this early. Anything can happen, especially this election cycle.

3. Seven games to decide a World Series. Still more to decide nominees.

5. No one's dropping out until after the first week in February.
And even then, I doubt if anyone would.

Are you in denial?

8. Nobody is dropping out until after February 5th...don't kid yourself
I don't think there will be a nominee on February 6th either. It's going to be going on until at least Wisconsin on February 19th.

Obama will win and then it's on to the White House!

25. It's great watching Hillarites clinging to MI like a life raft.
It shows you just how much the game has changed.

Gobama!!!

12. Currently Senator Clinton, twice the approved choice of her constituents in
New York, leads national polling and is the first choice of a majority of the nation's Democrats.

I don't see her withdrawing from the race when she's leading the race. She has the support to fight well on into primary season, as far as I can tell, and is likely to do so.

13. No, and I'm sick of these rigged caucuses and small states being able to play king maker
This is still supposed to be a democracy, and everyone (especially the large states like CA) should have a chance to vote for their candidate.

15. Funny how caucuses...
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 12:31 PM by stillcool47
endorsements, and accurate vote counting were not considered 'unacceptable' until this primary season. I don't believe that anyone, especially Hillary will be dropping out anytime soon. There are too many people heavily invested in the outcome. That said, why do so many people care about "rigged elections", but when someone actually wants to do something to insure accuracy those same people remain silent?
For instance:
Do you care about this?

Tell Congress: Pass Emergency Bill for Secure Elections in 2008

Now is your best chance to to help make the 2008 Presidential election verifiable. Please ask your members of Congress to co-sponsor the "Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act of 2008”, Representative Rush Holt's bill to provide emergency funding for paper ballots voting systems and random hand counted audits of the November elections.

The Emergency Assistance for Secure Elections Act offers states or counties reimbursement for purchasing paper ballot systems in time for the November elections, and reimbursement for conducting random hand-counted audits of the November election results.

The bill would offer money only for the most reliable voting systems: those that use voter-marked paper ballots, with accessible ballot-marking devices to serve voters with disabilities. By offering crucial funding, Congress can empower state and county officials to do the right thing in time for November.

Rep. Holt's bill could not be more timely. As the Presidential primary season unfolds, 14 states will use paperless electronic system in their primaries, either as the statewide system, or as the system used in many counties.

It doesn't have to be this way in November. Urge your Representative to cosponsor the Confidence in Voting Act. Take action now: please send the letter below (or feel free to edit as you see fit). Thank you!

18. Do I CARE about this?
I'm from Florida-one of the 90,000 democrats not allowed to vote in the 2000 election. I've signed every petition. Where was Bill Clinton when we were all being disenfranchised in that election?

24. I didn't think I was replying to you..
but...there are like 12 states that do standard audits after every election. The rest of us can have zero confidence in the accuracy of the tabulation of our votes. Some states still use touch screens with no verifiable paper what so ever. This bill requires that states 'opt in', meaning every state has the choice. Why would any state choose to implement the very simple measures that significantly improve the security of our voting systems, if people don't care? And if people don't care, what are we doing here?

26. After 2000
I've been saying it is THE most important issue this country faces-above all else-I said it then and I still believe it to be true-through everything else we've had to endure under this regime. Thank GOD we won't have to suffer another term (probably stolen again) of Bush

17. With double digits across the country? I guess the
he who cant' be denied group would sure like it. But then guess they'll call for investigations, vote re-counts, vote manufactures, anything to get their guy to be the candidate.
