Why can people ask Dean to quit. Chairman should never put influence on who should quit or who should stay. This is called “pressure”. This is not your job. Apparently, Dean is not doing his job. So, he should quit!
Good bye Mr. Dean.
Hillary, stay strong. We are behind you.

Jake,
Doesn’t matter, Hillary has every GD right to stay in the race until it’s over – at the convention.
Obama senses that there is going to be backlash against the call for HRC to quit by his backers, that’s why he came out to state that HRC can stay as long as she wants. The truth is, it is not up to Obama and his surrogates to shut down the democratic process as they doing in FL and MI. The Democrats will pay heavily for not allowing these two states to revote.

My father died that year and I went to South Fallsburg for the birthday intensive of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda.
Elizabeth Holzman entered the N.Y. senatorial race dividing the women’s vote for Geraldine Ferraro.
I don’t even know who the democratic nominee ended up being.
Gov. Clinton famously told Jerry Brown to “chill” in one televised debate.
Jerry Brown still didn’t think it was over despite the facts you site. He brought Jesse Jackson into the fight offering him the second spot.
Brown excited his followers with the idea of a Brown-Jackson ticket even though his chances of winning were nil.

Yes?? He didn’t mis-speak, he told the truth. Meaning he felt Jerry Brown was still in the race. There was also a different dynamic going on, the more people got to know Bill over the long period, the more support he got. Unlike Obama. Short term, sure he “seems likeable enough” until you really get to know him; then yuk! Your momentum and likeability have DEFLATED. Meanwhile, Hillary’s voting numbers are going up….BO is not getting the overwhelming votes. They are neck and neck and she has the momentum. Of course BO would want her to drop out now, he’s used to winning by eliminating his opponents any way he can before people really get to know him. Well, not this time!

The Obama people need to realize that they need the votes of the Hillary supporters in the general election. We are just as devoted to our candidate as they are. Neither candidate is capable of winning the nomination without the votes of the super delegates. This thing must play out until the bitter end, and yes by the rules. Whether the Obama people like it or not the super’s are free to vote for whomever they choose. Only after the super’s have voted will the nomination be decided. If Hillary is forced out before hand because the Obama supporters or the DNC don’t like her chances, Obama will never gain the votes of the Hillary supporters.

The race isn’t over until the fat lady sings (no offense to any mass challenged females just using a cliche)
I will state up front that I am a disgruntled conservative, who at this point has conceeded control of the legislative branch to the Democrats and fear both a McCain victory or loss.
As an historian I find this election fascinating. The Democrats put up a dynamic young speaker with absolutely not track record of accomplishment other than a successful educational career and a former first lady who is convinced previous residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue counts as executive experience. The Repulicans put up a candidate who has made his living (post military service) as a professional politician. McCain is touted as an experienced military leader – explain to me how someone who never functioned at flag rank in the navy is a military executive? He flew combat missions, at best he commanded 3 other pilots, he did not devise combat strategy. His suffering and how he conducted himself as a POW is inspirational and something I am certain I could not have survived. His conduct was exemplary and speaks volumes of his character and strength of beliefs, but has he shown the same loyalty to beliefs since then? Or has he become a political opportunist.
I say Hillary should stay – a floor fight at the convention will produce a spirited general election.
Personally none of these candidates individually excite me , but together boy what a brawl we have building.

Staying in the race means simply that Hillary is doing the dirty work for McCain. She cannot win the nomination, nobody will take the nomination from an African-American and give it to her. Nobody will take on that historical responsibility. She has to get out and give time to Obama to concentrate his effort on McCain. Game is over, no more distraction from inside. Democrats have to get together behind Barak and win the White House. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

America will speak come April 22. Penn is a State who will represent the US. It does not matter what numbers Obama leads over Hillary. What it matters is the american people will be speaking from thier heart and mind.. that they want a president who is for America and not for a particular ethnic group, for the anger of yesteryears, for affirmative action, and so forth. One nation, one vote for Hillary is enough to shout to the whole world that Americans do not want a dummy president of the Kennyday, the Ted Turner CNN, the MNBC, and those who suppressed the truth from public about Obama. Had it been earlier,, there couldnot have been this problem because Obama will not make it in the super Tuesday priamry.

The Clintons have been lying to the public for years now. Is anybody surprised by their lie about Bill Clinton’s presidential race not being over until June? Hillary is just buying time so that she can destroy Obama’s chances of winning the general election in November.
