1. That article does nothing to show how she could at least tie in pledged delegates.

[sandnsea]

2. Oregon is not Clinton Country

The numbers have been laid out over and over again. Hillary cannot get the delegates. It's OVER.

3. Everytime you talk about why she shouldn't quit, it pushes

the idea that she doesn't belong in the race.

Its not a good thing to focus on...unless you are for Obama!

[ScottS]

4. She needs to answer for ROCKY-GATE if she wants to stay in! The People want to know her MEANING!

8. It's simple... she's tough and going to see it to the end.

[Ken Burch]

13. the end of what...all hope of a Democratic victory?

Why can't she accept that she owes it to the party to help us unite behind the progressive frontrunner?

She's had her chance. She made a good run. That's enough.

It would be a tragedy if our strongest African-American presidential candidate ever was stopped at the last moment. We'd lose African American votes forever if she snuck through at the very last. It just can't be worth that.

[cboy4]

15. So you're saying if our strongest African-American

presidential candidate was stopped at the last minute by Hillary Clinton coming back to win, it would be her fault for losing African American votes forever?

And let's be honest Ken, you really think she made a good run?

It seems hard to believe, but maybe I'm wrong about my interpretation of your assessment.

[Ken Burch]

16. Well yes, she made a good run.

She managed to win about 1500 delegates. That's a good run by most standard

I meant it sincerely as a conciliatory statement. Why would you question that?

And maybe not forever, but you have to admit it would be almost impossible for her to get African American voters to enthusiastically back her(as they have to back our ticket if we are to have any chance to win) this year. Her approach will be nothing more but "they have nowhere else to go, so we don't owe them anything". Just like Bill's was, and his administration left African Americans, as even you would have to concede, almost totally out in the cold in policy terms.

Also, the young would fall away dramatically, as it goes without saying that no ideals whatsoever would animate a HRC administration, and no dreams would be articulated. We can't win with another "eat your spinach" candidate, (which HRC is, in the futile tradition of Mondale, Dukakis and Kerry).

We need a candidate that's part of the Rainbow. HRC can't be that candidate. She has no dreams and no hopes for a transformational future. She's nothing but mundanity and arrogance, and even you would have to admit that.

20. Isn't that racist to say any voter would only vote for a person of their color regardless

of their political agenda?

[mac2]

18. The party leaders did that already by taking out the best

candidate to win...Edwards. The country wants a Progressive.

[Ken Burch]

19. Agreed. Edwards would've been better.

I'm backing Obama as the closest thing to a progressive remaining in the race.

5. Could you give us some context in your OP?

Some of us don't like to click on links unless we're familiar with the source.

Thanks!

6. HEY!!! PHRIGNDUMASS!!!!!

THANKS AGAIN FOR THAT GREAT MATH LESSON YESTERDAY!!!!:headbang:

[mac2]

7. Edwards and Kucinich should not of either.

Let the people decide. This is a democracy is it not?

[loyalsister]

9. Agreed

It's a close election, and we live in a democracy. It is not very often that all states have a say in a presidential primary. If she wants to stay in she should stay in.
However, I wish that both sides would chill and start behaving like they are in the same party and have the same goals again. I'm really sick of the infighting.
It comes from the talk of who "wins." Whoever "wins" will be the nominee. They are not playing a sport. They are being selected by voters. It's our process not their game. I'm sick of the sports metaphors.

[Apollo11]

10. Strongly agree with loyalsister

It's a perfect example of a case where I wish we could recommend replies! B-)

[loyalsister]

14. Thanks

:blush:
We need to keep the postive stuff on top. This is a good article.

[mac2]

17. Guess those sports people are thinking it's a game?

[bridgit]

11. Interestingly enough, on 'the big eddy show' some of these numbers were beginning to seep...

into his microphone today. Seemed like now; after months of claiming to be unbiased while actually not with all the "You just need to go away! We don't like you and we mean it, Hillary!! We don't want you to eat at our lunch table!!"...she's still standing there, there seems a set of numbers that lead to a matrix no one else is even looking at, certainly not the nee-ner nee-ner crowd :shrug:

12. Barack Obama "Hillary should stay in the race as long as she wants"

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. I won't read, but I will comment

Stop trying to use DU to built page views to your cheesy blog...

[hfojvt]

22. I didn't notice that

but if it is your blog, there's no reason you can't copy the entire thing in the OP.

The title was intruiging, but there were no previews to entice somebody to click on a link.
