Obama makes DEFINITIVE COMMENT on Hillary staying in the primaries.....

[ShaneGR]

"My attitude is that Sen. Clinton can run as long as she wants," the Illinois senator said.

"She is a fierce and formidable competitor, and she obviously believes that she would make the best nominee and the best president. I think that she should be able to compete, and her supporters should be able to support her for as long as they are willing or able."

1. That's not definitive!

He's saying she can stay in as long as she wants. Meaning that if she wants to quit tomorrow, so be it.

7. What's he supposed to do, beg her to stay in?

He's going to complain if she wants to quit tomorrow?

[stillcool]

9. Should he denounce and reject?

2. That's a very smart comment on his part.

:thumbsup: :hi:

3. Classy response and probably the only correct one

4. I'm not sure what you mean ...

... by that being the definitive comment.

We all know that Hillary can stay in this as long as she wants to - the real question is not can she, but should she.

8. Hi, Nance. Did you see what Howard Dean said?

"If we have an ugly, divided convention, we will lose"- Howard Dean

So the answer obviously to "should she?" is no.

We can't let this go till August with five months of McCain being unopposed.

As I talk about in the thread I just posted the link of, Senator McCain is absolutely more dangerous than George W. Bush.

He MUST not make it to the White House.

Senator Clinton's selfish ambitions aren't more important than our party or our country.

Never have been, never will be!!

Nice to see you Nance!

:hi:

5. That is what I believe as well......

Although I added a caveat: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5304359

6. So?

What else is he going to say?

10. Taking the high road like the class act he is. Wish Hillary could do the same.

He's saying she has a right to run and it's up to her to decide when she wants to get out.

11. HillFANS should be THANKING Sen. Obama for this graciousness. He's a class act !
