Poll question: Hillary supporters: Should Hillary drop out if Obama breaks 2209 delegates?
So let's say Obama secures enough delegates to win even fully counting Florida and Michigan (which is never going to happen unless Obama requests it after securing the nomination but that's beside the point.) Then do you agree Hillary should drop out or should she keep whining until the convention? (I refuse to say "campaign" because there'll be no voting and no states to campaign to, unless she targets swing states pretending to be the nominee somehow.)

If THAT'S the key issue after all...

(Please note that even with full seating Hillary still needs over 75% of remaining delegates. Don't you all agree if Obama has 2208 delegates she should drop out? How about at 2207?)

1. She technically is permitted her all-the-way-to-Denver strategy, but
the rest of the Democratic Party might not cotton to the notion.

I think in addition to strain within the party, Senator Clinton is damaging herself even more.

2. ....and her ambition is doing irreparable harm to Bill's legacy as President
I would hope Bill would try to keep her from damaging his own hard won reputation, but I sometimes think she's got his genitals in an iron grip.

10. I think she will stay in to the end in Denver.
I think every one should have their say but I think the system is set up bad.

4. That depends. Are they REAL delegates?
Hard working white Amurikuns? Or are they latte-swilling, woman-hating, troop-hating, ultra-left-wing black caucus delegates?

13. Obama is where he is only because his people gamed the causes, and he's sure to lose.
