Hillary Should Get Out Now

I blame the press for this whole obama fest we have going on. hillary is less than 100 delegates behind. It is half time and she has been chosen by about 49% of the votes so far and obama has about 51% obama has the undying love of the press and hillary cannot even get a fair hearing. the press is killing her campaign for her. she doesnt have to make any mistakes or be less of a candidate. she just has be wake up every morning and the press will do the work for her. you should all hold your heads down in shame at the bias present in this pre campaign. Hillary is working her heart out to get where she can actually do some good for us, and the press is busy building the "movement" of the next messiah. Make no mistake that the press knows full well they have sway over many many people who will believe all that they read in headlines and editorials. when the press says hillary is losing superdelegates, and cant catch obama's momentum, and that she is desperate and angry and should bow out gracefully, the press knows it is building a self fulfilling prophecy. you are all despicable. there should be laws to prevent any political analysis of the results of any election until it is over and there should be a one day national primary to help destroy the problem before it gets started. Oprah and the press are shoving obama down the throats of the american people and most are acting like baby birds about it, mouths wide open. You would never suggest that a team bow out of the superbowl at half-time because they are down by a few points. This is so much more important for the country, and yet you all continue to bury one of the best candidates to run in ages. this is not a fair move on your part. it is not just here, but in all the outlets. you all know the effect your statements will have and yet you feel it is helpful and fair to make them immediately before two of the largest states vote. what about all the voters yet to come and the two states unrepresented at the moment. this is undue influence on an election matter. I know there is no law in place now but it will be my first priority when this is over. Be aware that no matter what happens, I will not be voting for obama, but you can bet i will be voting. go hillary 2008

I'm getting a little tired of Republican and Clinton supporters implying that Obama supporters are naive and delusional. Naive and delusional is thinking any politician who represents Old School Politics will put the average American's best interests ahead of their own. GW Bush is the proof; Clinton and McCain are just slightly less toxic versions. I'm ready to roll the dice on someone who is not a chip off the old block.

I WANT TO FIX HILLARY CLINTON FOR STAYING WITH BILL WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE DIVORCED HIM OVER:
1. HIS ANTIMASTURBATION
2. HIS CHEATING ADULTERY
ALSO IM AGAINST HER NOT LISTENING TO ME ABOUT VOTING AGAINST THE ANTI POKER BILL (PHONE CALLS, LETTERS) AND RECEIVING FUNDING FROM HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY OVERCHARGING AND AGE DISCRIMINATING. I ALSO BELIEVE LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN THAT BILL CLINTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AFTER ILLEGALLY CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.

Hmmmmm.
I guess - that olld ruin, hunting for the Power, she is like Zomby do not understand - she has NOTHING to put on the table.
She is in Solugtions? - Where they are?
She is strong in Foreign Policy ? Voting for the War?
She has experience ? As a wife? Let's call all wifes of formal presidents to participate.

Thank You for the article, without illusions, what she should do.
Just to keep a face, not falling to hysterics.

If hillary clinton stays in the race longer , there is a great chance her evil side will take over. The throw everything at Obama stragegy is an excellent example of the evil Hillary emerging ; thus showing how she thinks. Win anyway you can-- lie, cheat, steal.

There is no doubt that the longer Hillary hurls empty barbs at Barack, the more fodder she gives McCain later. Reason dictates that Hillary will lose, under all scenarios. It is time to unite the party for the long road ahead versus McCain. If Hillary and Bill cared about the party winning in November, Hillary would do the right thing and step down gracefully. I hope that after she loses or scrapes by with a win in either TX or OH she will do the right thing. I also hope tonight's debate is the last. I am tired of the Clinton carnival.

Comment: Comment: Hillary Clinton Goofs Again
A Commentary by Dick Morris

Who was it that defined neurosis as repeating the same mistake again and again, and expecting a better outcome each time? That is really what the Clinton campaign is doing in its post-Chesapeake primary strategy. Now Hillary defines Obama as the candidate who makes speeches, while she is the one who provides answers and solutions.

Why is Hillary embracing this new line? Its not that she has any great record of solutions or answers of which to boast, but rather that she wants to highlight Obama's lack of a legislative record. Once again, she and her campaign geniuses are making the same mistake they made when they decided to use the experience as their defining difference with Obama. Its not that she had much, but they sensed an opportunity to highlight that he had even less.
Of course experience not only didn't work. It backfired massively. By co-opting the experience tag, Hillary bought into the status quo and left Obama to be the agent of change. A candidacy that could have excited tens of millions of women, the first serious prospect of a female president, became merely a boring part of the status quo, shorn of its novelty.

Hillary's claim to be the solution-person won't work either for the same simple reason: She hasn't passed any...she hasn't walked the walk so now she cannot talk the talk.

As a first lady, Hillary's sole important legislative involvement came during the first two years of her husband's presidency when she sought to pass her ill-conceived health care reform, an effort that failed so miserably that it cost her party control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Between 1995 to 1997, she was largely absent from the White House, traveling the world, promoting her best selling book and helping to raise funds. She never attended strategy meetings and her only intervention in the singular legislative achievements of Bill's administration welfare reform and the balanced budget deal was privately to urge a veto of the former and to oppose the latter because it provided for a cut in the capital gains tax. Hillary returned to the White House in 1998 to oversee the defense to the Lewinsky scandal and the impeachment attempt, but the Clinton administration essentially folded its legislative efforts during those years and hung on for dear life. No portfolio of accomplishments there...

Her only actual legislation included one bill to increase nurse recruitment, another to aid respite time for Alzheimer's care givers and another to expand veteran's health benefits, a paltry output for six years service.

In her second term, she has spent full-time campaigning for president and has the worst attendance record of the three senators now still in the presidential race.

Hillary is crooked and morally bankrupt. Obama is a better choice than her, but the best choice is Mike Huckabee. He is a decent persowith morals the country can be proud of.

I agree. Hillary is whining too much and taking the spotlight with her accusations. After she has run one of the dirtiest campaigns I've seen in a long time against Obama. She needs to realize that no one wants her, and she should give her full support to Obama. She is much too confrontational to be taken seriously as a leader of the free world. Obama is always presidential. He has more experience in legislature, and much more grace under fire!

Hilary should be the next Democratic presidential nominee. All women and men with daughters should vote for Hilary-for their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters and their grandmothers who were forbidden by law to vote as young women.

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.

Good article.

Mr. Alter,
I can't understand why you and so many of your collegues have a need to interfere with, rather than report on, the political events taking place in our country.
Senators Clinton and Obama BOTH have much to offer America, why not allow our election system run it's course? I'm very weary of all the pundits who believe they can more readily process information and draw a conclusion than the American public. If the newsmedia could possibly get back to fact checking and reporting it would be a great service to us all.

Actually, there are so many delegates/states yet to be decided, that Obama's lead is not that significant. The impending primaries favor Hillary. Obama just got lucky with the primary schedule. The demographics in the last group of states after super Tuesday favored Obama, but that is over. Hillary will stay alive and then will take PA. Quitting now would be absurd unless you're an Obama fan writing this article with an agenda to psych-out the Hillary supporters. Go sell this mess-o-crazy someplace else cuz we're not buying it and we're on to you.

Bravo to schatzismom--you posted my comment for me. I'd like to add: What, exactly, has Mr. Alter done in his career to help women, children, the poor and disenfranchised that qualifies him to dismiss Hillary Clinton with such self-satisfied disrespect? I'd like to compare their public service resumes. Does it ever occur to him that there are hundreds of thousands of us out here that are passionate supporters of hers, and that it is hardly the media's unbashedly biased and sexist role to decide this election for us? The sense of entitlement and arrogance is shameless and repulsive! Does it occur to you that Hillary does not quit because half the Democrats in this country are begging her not to, despite the relentless forces determined to undermine her from the beginning? She is listening to us, you pompous fool. Where do you think that $35 million she raised this month came from? And as a poll showed today, a large percentage of white, blue collar Democrats are going to defect to McCain if Obama is the nominee, and once again, the spineless Democrats will lose. It's not enough that Obama is profoundly unqualified--do you think he'd even be an also-ran if he was a woman with his thin resume?!--but he also shares Alter's arrogance, and like others, I will consider McCain, Nader, or be a conscientious objector if he is the choice. This has been like a repeat of the media's drumbeat for Bush and the war all over again. What an inane culture--people would rather vote for a fantasy, than deal with reality. That is why the infrastructure of this country is disintegrating. We don't want someone who is not glamorous, but works hard day and night. We want a movie star for President. That's worked out really well so far...

Obama belongs to a chruch on 95th St, the Rev. Wright Jr. who teaches and preaches nothing but hate for Whites, Jews, and Homosexuals,etc.. Rev. Wright also belives and preaches that Louis Farrahkan is a great and wonderful man. Alter-you want Hillary to drop out. All I can say is you dropped out when you don't ask questions of Obama. Good for you Alter you made a born and raised Hyde Parker ino a Republican.
