Hillary Should Get Out Now

Hey Alter,
How about letting the voters of Ohio, Texas, and other states decide this before you write-off Hillary? The Democratic Party would seriously regret a situation where Senator Clinton withdrew and the media then awoke from its Obama-dream and started REALLY looking into his rather weak candidacy. I wonder if the pundits' worship of Obama that we're forced to endure indicates Oprah's influence in the media, a deep hatred and envy of the Clintons, or the corporate media heads deciding that Obama vs. McCain would make for better television. Everything that Obama utters is reported as enlightened and hopeful, every caucus or primary that he wins is a major victory, no matter how miniscule. Meanwhile, any point made by Senator Clinton is reported (if at all) as a sign of desperation. As stated by schatzismom, tedsaunt, and others on this blog, Hillary is supported by half of the Democratic voters and they are demanding that she fight until the end. She is far from finished and would be selling her supporters out if she followed your misguided advice.

Senator Clinton is far more experienced and qualified to lead as the President. If Bill Clinton returns to a position of influence with her, more's the better. What a wonderful team they will make! Mr. Alter, if you're so interested in influencing news instead of reporting it, why not take a leave-of-absence from Newsweek and work officially for Obama. If things go your way in November, you could be his Press Secretary...or High Priest. We were disenfranchised here in Florida thanks to the DNC, let other voters have a chance to support a real candidate of the people.

America is a great country, a global leader.
The world is hungry ,for long time, to see an American leader who can be honored as great global hero. Obama is a gift of God for America. So protect him, elect him.

It is rather sad that reporters want to dictate things rather than allow the political process to play out. Mrs Clinton, despite her weaknesses, is a courageous candidate who is geared to the teeth to fight this race. For a women that is 60 years old and has the media against her she is doing a remarkable job. One has to hand it to her for all the energy and spirit she has put into this campaign. If she bows out the campaign trail will make American politics resort to a boring one man show. Competition is good and lets at least give Hillary a chance, she is a hard working passionate candidate who has the fighting spirit this race so desperately needs.

I would love to know the motivation for Jonathan Alter's desire for Hillary to bow out of the race? I sincerely think Alter has a hatred for the Clinton's. [my opinion]
I cannot see what logical sense it makes for Hillary to bow out now. I can go on and on how many ballgames that have been won with two outs in the bottom of the ninth...Miracles can and do happen Boston down 3 games to 0 and came back to win 4 straight and enter the world series. Hillary has a chance at a miracle too. Maybe another Clinton administration may be too much for Jonathan Alter to bear but he should develop a little more humility to his character rebuke his aggorant desire to demand that Sen. Hillary Clinton bow out of the race, lest we demand he resign from journalism.

Hey Goatherd,

That's not true, Hillary Clinton entered the primary race. I know you count her 8 years in the White House as experience but you know there's a chef who had 27 years experience in the White House that you maybe could consider as well.

Hilary Clinton is simply a political mediocre. She can only act as commander in chief, but never can truly perform that. Compared to her ability she has already gained more than enough. For her, politics is a way of building someone???s carrier. That is why she could compromise with her husband few years ago.

HOW OBAMA PLAYED THE RACE CARD

If a woman had the same amount of experience as Obama, she wouldn't even have been able to enter the primary race. Thats the point, whichever way you look at it. Period!

And in the two years Obama was a senator and while in Illinois House, what happened to all the CHANGE that he promises.

Member of the Foreign relations committee and not convened a meeting.

OBAMA - NOT READY ON DAY ONE, TWO, OR THREE...........

OBAMa--NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - He could NOT win in the General Election in November.

The best and brightest don't run for the highest office in the land. Where's a good Colin Powell when we need one? Hillary has exposure but no accomplishments. Obama has no experience, a lot of exciting rhetoric, but with most of our budget sunk into entitlement programs, no chance of real change. McCain may be too old, and perhaps a one-trick pony - a strong military. Mike Huckabee has no chance, but perhaps more of a chance than Ralph Nader. How about Ralph against Mike?
