Obama supporter: If Hillary leads in pledged delegates after PA, I'll switch
This is a pledge from me... if Hillary leads after PA, she should get the nomination. But if she doesn't, she really needs to leave the race at that point, and totally support Obama. And vice-versa.

This is my olive branch to Hillary's supporters.

1. She just said at the Black Summit that the election
would probably be decided in JUNE.

So ~ we have a while to wait until The Queen announces that she should keep her crown.

2. Well if I were a Queen I wouldn't be quite so quick to hand the palace over to the court jester.

8. However,
based on the popular vote, delegates, and number of states won, the american people decided that the "queen" didnt warrant the coronation.

7. She and her husband have got to get on the same page.
Bill says if she loses either Texas or Ohio it's over, but Hillary says it will go on until June.

13. Isn't it sad when married couples are in opposite camps?
It's obvious that he's been campaigning for Obama all this time - cuz every time he opens his mouth it hurts Hillary.

15. I don't think she'll have the cash to stay in until June

Let's face it, March 4th is her final stand. If she doesn't win OH and TX by 20% then I think the media's "benefit of the doubt" that they've been graciously giving her comes to an end. After that she will have to spend all of her time explaining why she's still in the race.

3. IMO a true Democrat would support our candidate in the general election regardless of whom she/he
supported in the primary.

5. But it seems as if several of the newbies to the process
are going to say if I can't have my way I'm taking my vote and going home...

10. I have seen this from both sides....
However, it is not just with "newbies". I am 56. I have always voted Democratic. I was really starting to sympathize with Hillary after the last debate. I had even posted I thought she would be a good VP choice. Today, she is back to the same old sleaze. I will probably vote for her if she is nominated, that is all I can say. It depends on HER! If she keeps on doing what she has been doing, she can lose my vote. If so, she will be the first Democrat in my life to do so. In any case, I don't think she would win anyway in November against her friend McCain.

14. Just close enough is all it will take
for them to steal it again.

9. Are we going to drag this shit out into April?
I think that if Hillary fails to win dramatic victories in TX and OH of at least 60% of the votes, she is toast and should withdraw. She will need to win by that much in order to just begin to catch up to Obama.

11. I will eat my hat. The old one that I have worn fishing for a couple
of decades.
