Unlike many who do NOT like Hillary Clinton, I like her, but I think this should be the swan song

I prefer Obama over her 2 to 1 so to speak. Despite his shortcomings, I think he will galvanize change in a more profound manner than she will, and I hope that she will be a part of helping the change occur as a leader in the Senate. I hope Obama chooses Edwards for VP to get the unions behind him and the over 60 Caucasian crowd that has supported Clinton more than Obama, but I'll be happy to see John be AG.

But really, this loss in a big white state like Wisconsin, to the degree she lost - really Hill, don't make Obama waste resources and money when it's so apparent, 9 states in a row shouting it loudly, that the end has come!

Anyone else agree? Say YEAH!

:) ha...

I realize that Hillary backers are going to really be in a dour mood. I know how they feel, and if you're one of them (I have no idea), my condolences.

She's going to embarrass herself if she sticks around after tonight's thumping - losing by 10 points more than expected.

4. I don't vote until May and I want my vote to count, she better not
drop out. In fact I think I will send her a couple hundred. I don't really have it to spare but maybe if she had put as much money in as BO has she would be doing better. Maybe some others will be able to send some. I know this is a bad time. Utilities are getting out of site. Milk is as much as gas. We have lost several hundred jobs here in the past couple of months. We don't have that many decent jobs left here. Mostly retail, restaurant not much manufacturing left. I have no hope with BO.

5. Except that if it's mathematically impossible at that point...
for Hillary to obtain a lead in pledged delegate totals, your vote won't count. It would be equivalent to playing game five of a World Series where one team has already swept four straight.
