What State Will Be Clinton's Last?
If she doesn't break 60% in Pennsylvania, will she drop out then?

Will it be Indiana? North Carolina? Puerto Rico? When?

Will it be a apocalyptic convention fight? Or an even more bloody sight?

What will happen when her course is run?

Will it dry up,

Like a raisin in the sun?

Or will her campaign explode?

2. My honest opinion is that she has already campaigned in her last state
There enough time before Pennsylvania that its possible a swell of super delegates will move before then and force her to quit.

Especially if she remains so divisive that it threatens part unity, as many of those same super delegates need a party still intact for the GE to help them remain in office.

13. We've heard mention of a "Superdelegate Primary".
They may take a straw poll, or "show of hands" after June 3rd, before the Convention in an effort to avoid 3 months of campaigning before an official Nominee.

Do you think she'll make it past that?

15. You know I've thought about that. If she wins a majority of the last 10,
they'll have to seriously consider her. I don't like superdelegates at all but it seems their function is to select a candidate based on everything. A very strong finish cannot be easily discounted. So, she may well make it past them.

11. That is a good question.
I've come at it from all the angles my mind can find.

A drop after a PA win, even a small margin, wouldn't make sense. But, why stay in to suffer losses in IN and NC, and beyond to possible losses in WV and OR?

I think it will be either in the coming weeks, before PA(she's in debt) or it will be June 3rd, when all the Primary's are over, and the SuperD's have their "SuperD's Primary".

I don't think she'll take it to the Convention, and I think the Clinton Campaign knows that.

14. She's broke, now.
Last time she had OH and TX perception win to replenish her funds. She's got nothing for another month, how will she last till then?

19. The State of Disbelief
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 08:41 PM by Jersey Devil
She's been running for almost 8 years and all of a sudden this skinny black guy that no one even heard of until 2004 pops out of the woodwork and totally fucks up the best laid plans of mice or men and so it's gonna take a while before the Clintons can digest just what the hell hit them upside the head.

Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 08:41 PM by loveangelc
definitely should drop out. even if she doesnt that day, i think superdelegates will start making up their minds after north carolina. like the nbc political director said, may 6th may be d-day to many of the superdelegates.

23. Then the race goes on. But I don't think she wins both.
NC has very large African American population.

25. the outcry from dems far and wide, up and down will be so big
after NC she will have to do something. Personally, I am hoping Pennsylvania isn't the racist place she seems to believe it is and hands her her ass. It would serve anyone right who panders to the lowest common denominator of anywhere.

24. She is going to take it all the way to the convention
She isn't interested in winning, she knows she can't, and she knows that Obama must be destroyed so that she can run again in 2012.
