Hillary needs to suspend her campaign

[thevoiceofreason]

Now is the time. Why waste another $20 to 40 million that barack could use toward the general? Now is the perfect time -- she would move up in stature in the party tremendously. She could command a bigger presence in the Senate. She could be the lead sponsor of the healthcare measures there. C'mon, it's time. Hillary, it's not about you any more.

[Catherine Vincent]

1. Oh stfu. nt

[JeanGrey]

2. I agree. She can be very useful in Obama's cabinet

or somewhere in his administration. It is time.

[TankLV]

16. Agree. STFU.

This is a ridiculuous thread...but not unexpected from the obamababies...

[TexasObserver]

3. she should, but she won't, because hope springs eternal in the heart of Tracy Flick

[rodeodance]

29. that line of yours is getting real old!

[jackson_dem]

4. Why? Because Obama has won 51.9% of pledged delegates so far?

[thevoiceofreason]

12. I'm not trying to be snarky, Jackson my man.

More of a money issue

[jackson_dem]

18. Money isn't everything, though as Romney proved

[thevoiceofreason]

22. I agree

But I have yet to see a GD:P thread talk about the damage to the rank and file supporter's budget because of his/her desire to contribute in real and full belief and support of a candidate when they have trouble making their bills.

[IndieLeft]

5. Yes, she should. Especially after missing the FISA vote.

However, if she doesn't... I can't wait to see the next debate.

[FlyingSquirrel]

6. You would deny millions the historic opportunity to vote for the person

with any serious chance at being the first female president?

I felt cheated when I was not able to vote for Edwards, who wasn't even trying to make history in that way. Imagine how all those who want to vote for Hillary would feel.

(I'm not a Hillary supporter by the way, I lean slightly toward Obama).

This is the Democratic party. Let's vote and count all the votes and let the chips fall where they may. Just because the nomination is often decided quickly doesn't mean it always has to happen that way.

Also the longer it is before we choose, the more free publicity both candidates (and the Democratic Party) get and the longer it is before the RW smear machine can train its guns with full focus on a single person.

[thevoiceofreason]

10. Interesting points

And I don't entirely disagree. I still lean toward the reasons I gave, but you make valid points. I do worry about donor fatigue, for both Barack and Hillary. Especially in the face of a looming recession.

[jlake]

7. I agree. Obama should drop out and Hillary should suspend her campaign

so that Hillary is rested up and ready to go in the GE.

[AtomicKitten]

8. Jeez, pull the fork out of her ... There are lots of states between now and Denver.

[PresidentObama]

11. AK, I know you're just like me. I like a good horse race.

Hillary is falling behind, but anything can/could happen.

[AtomicKitten]

14. this race will become Democratic lore and I'm thrilled to have a front row seat

:toast:

[PresidentObama]

20. Me too. It's a proud moment for this Democrat ;)

May the best candidate win.

[thevoiceofreason]

21. I don't think that is a good long-term view

I don't begrudge the view, I just disagree

[PresidentObama]

9. Why post idiotic bullshit? Seriously. This thing is far from over, and it's still close.

[thevoiceofreason]

15. Relax

Read my points. This isn't intended to break out into phase 1 of the superior dance. It focuses mainly on winning in the fall and having mercy on everyone's base.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. All those candidates should NEVER have run against Obama!

He's entitled to the nomination, and always has been! How dare they challenge him? :sarcasm:

[ZinZen]

17. No she should not.

Voters should be able to have a say so through this process. This is coming from an Obama supporter.

[Cooley Hurd]

19. Not yet...

...IF she fails to pick up delegates after the 03/04 primaries, then such talk MIGHT be applicable. Until then, it's still up in the air, so to speak.

[onenote]

23. I'm an Obama supporter, but posts like this are just silly.

[rodeodance]

30. hey-thanks--

[eridani]

24. No, she doesn't

She should stay in as long as possible. Let the Rethug slime machine have its aim disrupted for awhile longer. Besides, backers of both need to get the sense that their candidate worked hard for a long time.

[Eurobabe]

25. Perhaps after TX, OH, VT

but not before. What's the rush? :shrug:

I think the decision is Sen. Clinton's to make. :hi:

[ellisonz]

33. You forgot Rhode Island!

:P

[Eurobabe]

34. Sorry, I forgot Poland too

:rofl:

[rodeodance]

26. How many crapola posts have there been today like this? 50? 100? STFU

[Bongo Prophet]

27. This is SO not your call, and only insults our fellow dems.

i don't know what the agenda is of the OP, but I would vote it down if I could.
A fresh face from Texas - dude, just vote next month, and try to not "help" too much.

All of you Clinton supporters, keep fighting as long as she does.
You have my respect, more than I can say for this uncalled for "advice"...

[rodeodance]

28. Your post is an INSULT to all the voters who not yet voted. I am one of them!

[BringBigDogBack]

31. Good points.

[Hutzpa]

32. Well...she won't be the last

everyone seems to be doing that these days,

John Edwards

Mitt Romney

and her, she will have to fight for popular vote
within that group.

[Apollo11]

35. Hillary for Senate Majority Leader !!!

Unless Hillary can win in Hawaii or Wisconsin, I don't see how she can win Ohio or Texas.

No candidate can survive 3 weeks of headlines about the other guy winning all the time.

I think Hillary wanted to prove that "Anything Bill can do, I can do better."

She is a very smart person, but should not be trying to match her husband's resumé.

I have always thought that Hillary's talents are what we need in the US Senate.

[GreenTea]

36. Obama up by 25 delegates?

[oasis]

37. Im sure Barack can "inspire" another $20-$30 mil out of his minions. They dig that crazy snake oil

he sells 'em.
