Hillary should exit which is the best thing for the nation as a whole – the military would explode with cheering! We should have learned a lesson from Billy Boy’s time in the White House. What a poor example he set for our youth! He set our nation back 25 years or more!

If she doesn’t win both Ohio and Texas decisively, she’s out immediately. If she does win them, she only buys herself a little more time.

Why should she back out? She is not a quitter and she will win Ohio and Texas.
While polls may show that Obama will do a better job than Clinton against McCain in November, were these not the same polls that showed John Edwards as the best Democratic candidate against McCain a few weeks ago!
National polls result does not mean much in a presidential election. We don’t elect our President on popular votes but on a state by state basis and hence electoral votes. Unlike the Democratic primaries, the presidential election is also a winner-take-all approach. An interesting question here maybe how close a race for the Democratic party nomination this would have been if they had followed the same winner-take-all approach of the presidential election or those adopted by the Republican party?
Looking at the results of the last few primaries, I believe Clinton will beat McCain in New York, California, and Michigan. Missouri and Florida will be very competitive but she will have the edge by share number. She will also win in Ohio and Pennsylvania to name a few more states.
While I respect the fact that Obama wants to bring the country together, there are still BLUE and RED states. Obama may have won most of those RED states in the primaries but that does not translate or carry over to November. I need someone to tell the world in which RED state can Obama beat McCain? To make it more interesting since we know the Republican party need a more conservative to balance their ticket, tell me in which RED state can Obama beat McCain/Huchabee? With this scenario, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, etc, becomes fair game. Interestingly, I am not that sure Obama will carry the state of Massachusetts!!! If by chance Obama is the nominee, it will be very interesting in seeing how many RED states he wins in November. Hence, it will be a great idea if Clinton is not on the ticket. Otherwise she will be accused of denying Obama votes from RED states.
Please note that Clinton does not need any of the typical RED states (especially those caucuses that Obama won) to win the presidential election in November. And if Clinton helps bring the Republican party together, it will only be a sweeter victory for her in November because at the end, the Republican party will only hang on to their RED states.
Hence, I think it will be a great educational idea if news media share information about electoral votes with viewers. It really appears that we have a lot of people that need to be educated on how we elect our President INCLUDING THE NEWS MEDIA.
If you are really interested in helping us understand the better candidate against McCain in November, show us the results of a state by state poll and figure out who comes up with the most delegates.

I guess you’re pleased as punch with the example ole George W is setting for our youth. Have you looked at our country’s debt lately? Ever hear of fiscal responsibility?
How about we choose a president on how well we think he (or she) will run the country, not on your personal view of his (or her) morality.
I happen to think Hillary would be a horrible choice for president but that is based on the fact that she has never actually run anything before and her idea for a health care plan is just plain scary.

Why Obama will loose
Sen. Obama can give a wonderful political speech. A wonderful speech that is – that says not a thing. Sen. Obama’s people are extremely good at playing the national press. The press believes everything that his people put out. You must wonder who they are working for – perhaps Sen. Obama.
Anything negative said about the Sen. – and – low and behold it must be racism.
Any questions raised – it must be prejudice.
70 % of the white people vote for Hillary in the South – the race card is raised.
90% of the African Americans vote for Obama – he must be the best candidate.
Sen. Obama’s wife gives a speech – she must be wonderful.
Sen. Clinton’s daughter campaigns for her mother – she is being pimped.
Sen. Clinton & the President – have always stood by the African American population – see how quickly their good deeds are forgotten.
Sen. Obama worked with the poor in Chicago – he must almost walk on water.
Question Sen. Obama’s experience – you must be a fool.
Vote for Sen. Clinton – you must be an idiot.
What has Sen. Obama done – a very thin resume? What has he promised? What can he really get done?
Where has Sen. Obama won?
Check the number with the respective Sec. of States Offices:
Missouri – that states primary by 1% – he only won 1 whole county –he carried no others
Connecticut – a small primary that Sen. Obama won.
Nebraska – less than 30% of the registered democrats voted in the caucus.
Washington – less than 30% of the registered democrats voted in the caucus.
Idaho – less than 30 % of the registered democrats voted in the caucus.
Maine – less than 30% of the registered democrats voted in the caucus.
Delaware – we all know.
Georgia – we all know.
South Carolina – we all know.
Alabama – we all know.
Etc.
The Sen. from Illinois won he own state – but that is the only big primary he has won.
Sen. Clinton won all the others – including Florida & Michigan
Sen. Clinton has won the popular vote by 600,000 – every voted must be counted?
Only when Sen. Obama is involved – I’m sure.
The left side of the Democratic Party – belittles the center and the right side of the party.
Do you honestly believe that – other than the demographic groups already voting for the Senator – he will win any others in numbers sufficient to win an election?
Too much anger from the left – has already destroyed his chances – in my opinion.

The story behind Hillary’s campaign shakeup gets better, the more I find out. Seems MaggieWilliams, the new head, had given Hillary an ultimatum to put her in charge, or else….abouta month ago. Already Hillary was mad with the old head, Patti Doyle, because it seems Doylehad been “lying” about the campaign’s finance situation, until N.H., when Hillary found out theywere out of money. So what did Hillary do? She privately funded her campaign to the tune of$5 million, and didn’t even bother to notify her top campaign staff, including Doyle. So betweenthat and Maggie’s locking horns, Doyle jumped ship. Now, turns out, some clown named StevenYbarra, who heads the DNC Hispanic caucus is in a snit that Doyle, a Hispanic, was fired. Sonow what does he do? He sends out an email to his whole caucus that Hillary has “betrayed”us all. Wow. What a mess. And we want to put her in charge of the country? She can’teven run a decent campaign…one of the most funded in history! Yikes!
A prominent member of the national Democratic Party has circulated a sharp e-mail saying the removal of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle was disloyal to Hispanics and should give “pause” to superdelegates and voters.
The e-mail from, Steven Ybarra, a California superdelegate who heads the voting-rights committee of the DNC Hispanic Caucus, was sent to fellow caucus members in the hours after word broke that Solis Doyle – the most prominent Latina in Clinton’s campaign – would be replaced by another close Clinton loyalist, Maggie Williams, who is black.
The e-mail noted that Clinton, who is looking to Latino voters for a boost in the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4, scored heavily with Hispanics in her California win.
“Apparently, loyalty is not a two-way street,” he wrote. “Latino superdelegates like myself . . . will have cause to pause.”
Ybarra told The Post yesterday that the loss of Solis Doyle, a child of Mexican immigrants, just weeks before the Texas primary, where 36 percent of the population is Hispanic, was “dumb as a stump.”
Contacted for comment, the typically press-shy Solis Doyle told The Post that Ybarra was writing on “false information,” and confirmed she’s staying on as an adviser.
Team Clinton insisted that the decision to switch from Solis Doyle to Williams, revealed on Sunday afternoon, was amiable.
