Can you imagine if Al Gore endorsed Obama right now?
What if Al Gore endorsed Obama, tomorrow?

What if Jimmy Carter endorsed him?

Or Colin Powell?

Do you think this bloody, self-defeating primary would go on another day?

There's no way Hillary can win. This needs to stop.

The only way she gets the nomination is if Obama is forced to drop out due to some scandal or gaffe.

And that's her only strategy.

She doesn't care that if Obama doesn't flame out and is the nominee, that McCain is going to copy her talking points. We will be seeing video of Hillary trashing Obama in GOP ads! Why not? It would be totally fair play!

She's already done huge damage to the party and our chances in November, and to make things worse, she doesn't even have a chance to be the nominee! There's no point, she has to stop this!

But if she doesn't get the nomination, she doesn't care what happens in November!

Can you imagine if Hillary dropped out after TX and OH and endorsed Obama? McCain would be on his ass already!

Instead, she's doing McCain's work for him! FOR NO REASON!

This has to stop!

Where is Al Gore? Jimmy Carter? Colin Powell?

3. If that happened the Hilbots would attack them.
They would attack the core of the Democratic Party if there was a chance for Clinton to succeed.

11. Powell gave an interview a month or so ago in which he said he
had a lot of respect for Obama and that he wouldn't hesitate to cross party lines to vote for the candidate of his choice. Not an endorsement, but that's pretty high praise coming from someone on the other side of the fence.

(If I remember correctly, the source was CNN online. I didn't save the link, though.)

5. Al Gore would be a traitor.
The Clintons made him. He couldn't have even run in 2000 without them. He owes Hillary his endorsement and he deserves to be thrown under a whole fleet of buses if he endorses Obama. He'd be DEAD to me! DEAD!

Oh, and don't forget the :sarcasm:

7. whine, whine whine
maybe they are disgusted with the choices and embarrassed to endorse anybody. Maybe they are waiting to be drafted. Maybe they no longer give a shit.
Maybe they are watching basketball, like any sane person does in March.

8. Jimmy Carter may come soon enough....here...
Jimmy Carter, Party official, Ga.

"Obama's campaign has been extraordinary and titillating for me and my family. We have four children with their spouses, we have 11 grandchildren, four or five of them are married, and all of them, except one, are for Obama. I think that Obama will be almost automatically a healing factor in the animosity now and the distrust that relates to our country and its government."

9. Is Gore eyeing 2012?
Is eyeing a word? hehe... The far left has really pumped his head up in recent years, so if his ego isn't in the way, he might endorse.

10. If Al Gore endorsed Obama
Would the Clinton News Network play his NAFTA debate against Ross Perot on loop and then link the comments to Obama ala what happened with Wright?

13. Now that should be the order
of the day.....time to put her out of her misery otherwise
they will take the party down with them, by the way, it
should not stop there, they have to make sure she does not
pull the Kerry card of 04.

There are signs already of them doing that, listen to Bill
and her surrogates.

14. Now I'm afraid that Hillary's goal isn't to win anything - but to make certain we lose
She's doing her job.
