A message every Obama supporter must read and understand
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1725958,00.html

Said a confidant who has talked to her regularly throughout the campaign: "This woman never quits. Neither she nor her husband." So don't expect this race to end anytime soon.

2. If she has no money, she will have to quit.
That will be the name of the game.

3. She really should consider a break though.
She's been confusing reality with fiction an awful lot lately.

8. I'd be more afraid of a backlash from voters in PA pissed off Obama wants to shut the race down
before they hve a chance to have their voices heard.

12. He wants it to end *now* because he doesn't want her to *gain*.
If she just gains a few more percentages his argument gets weaker.

It's a statistical tie for all intents.

16. No, A "Statistical Tie" Would Be...
That she'd need to win 15 more states, 150 more delegates and 700,000+ votes.

19. Neither can win without superdelegates.
And because his delegates are cheaper and not proportional to the GE vote, the argument isn't as strong.

6. I hope not. Watching Hillary Clinton go insane in public is hysterically funny to me.
This is her around the time Indiana votes:

14. Exactly, this is what they don't understand. Once the media starts pushing a narrative that says
"Its over" she becomes a side note like Huckabee.

9. I Support Obama, And Think This Is Excellent News
The Clintons have already become irrelevant to the race. This shredding of any teeny bit of their dignity will secure their proper place in history.

For 16 years I've thought that the Clintons were very unhelpful people, and was disappointed at their star status. All that has changed: for the next 25 years they'll be looked at as a cautionary tale, after which they'll become an odd footnote. My grandchildren will not grow up with the Prevaricating Pair as role models.

11. Agreed.
Hillary Clinton is doing nothing now so much as marginalizing herself and ruining whatever political future she might have. People tend to get sick of those who overstay their welcome, especially when they're people of the tone-deaf and bullying-through-surrogates variety.

27. This is true.
Clinton fatigue is a common malady akin to Bush fatigue.
I've contracted both and probably should be under a physician's care.

Win win.

20. A message every Clinton supporter must read and understand
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 08:44 PM by matcom
she is now looking at 2012 and would RATHER have McCain in the WH for the next 4 years than a Democrat.

This is about HER not YOU or I or your Kids or your Parents or Grandparents or the Homeless or the Sick or the Poor or the Rich or the Soldiers or the PEOPLE

deal with it

24. Eventually
She will be like Mike Huckabee. Does she have a Chuck Norris? Because after June that is the only way she's getting on TV unless she is doing a stump beach as an Obama surrogate.

28. It doesn't matter if she "ever quits." The SDs have the power to
put an end to it anytime they chose. She will continue to run, but it won't get her the nomination.

29. Huckabee stayed in the race way too long, too.
Eventually, she'll be forced to face reality and support Obama.

30. When the story is 'they aren't quitting' the background is 'its over'.
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 10:20 PM by Warren Stupidity
Her campaign died this week. Yesterday to be exact. Self inflicted wound. You know it, I know it, the media knows it, even the Clintons know it.

You need to start thinking about how to wrap your solid Democratic Party loyalty around supporting the nominee.
