    Hillary is past the point of going out with grace and class. She has just plain lost her mind in the past three days. The blowup on Saturday was all calculated for the Sunday talk shows so instead of everyone concentrating on Obama wrapping the race they would talk about her. Then today her campaign drops the picture of him in Kenya. Everything she does is calculating and disengenuous. She is doing everything she can to hurt the Democrats best opportunity to take back the White House. Please let this be the last time we have to hear from the Clinton machine

    The problem with the notion of her bowing out gracefully is that Hillary Clinton has never done anything gracefully. She will turn into even more of a b*tch and emberrass herself further. That is what angry people do, and she is among the angriest of people. Incidentally, how is she trailing a Muslim in the polls? Are the American people that naive or do they have very short memories?

    As you suggest that Hillary quit "gracefully," be sure to remember to give that adivice to all the meaningful women in your life.

    Shame on you, how dare you tell Hillary Clinton to get out of the race. Not all votes have been counted and I sure hope she stays in it until one candidate has won the correct number of delegates to win the nomination. At the rate the press has been continuously attacking Senator Clinton, there is no chance that the press would ever report on any mistake Obama makes. The press could be slapped in the face with a mistake made by him and they would twist it around and make it Senator Clinton's problem. She is a fighter and I admire how she handles herself by overcoming every obstacle that has been thrown her way. Obama has had a free ride and I hope March 4th will stop that ride. Senator Clinton is the person we need in the White House. And the press needs to stop it???s biased reporting. You seem to forget, Hillary Clinton is a woman, and women do not give up just because they are told to do so. That???s when we fight even harder, especially when we believing in something as strongly as Senator Clinton believes in this fight for the White House.

    I was just thinking about Hillary's chances after the "plaigiarism" cry going up, then I chanced across an op-ed piece that William Safire wrote for the NYTimes back in '87, in which he said that, basically, political ideas were like SF stories, that they've already been written before, to some degree, and will be rewritten/retold again, basically rendering Hilalry's claims null and void. BasicaIIy, Hillary, STEP ASIDE.

    After suffering through the Al Gore dangling chad ordeal in 2000 and Bush stealing that election. Then pouring time and money into Edwards/ Kerry campaign (yes Edwards not Kerry 1st) going to bed in 2004 being told by the news they'd won and of course that election was eerily "won" by Bush again! I thought I'd finally found a solid winner and female candidate Hillary "and all would be well in the Democratic party -WRONG! Now the media people I'd come to trust, you sir and Keith Olberman, have become no better than the rest. You guys are as well under the Obama trance and have lost all fair or balanced news reporting. I for one will find some way to bury my head until the shouting is over. My lesson? There is no fair, decent, or balanced news anymore. Objectivity died along the way and my trust in human beings from Newsweek and MSNBC are forever lost. I still will vote Hillary even if she does drop out. I pray she holds on and shows all of you "men" the strength of character she truly does have! GO HILLARY! ...all the way to the White House:)

    As I have sustained in other commentaries, it is no accident that we will start seen more artcles like this one. It is still to be seen if Obama is a clay or sugar idol intentionally created to make sure a trully powerfull contender will not win the democratic primaries/caucuses. It is no accident either that the same media we saw tellings us about "weapons of mass-destruction", "mushroom cloud", etc. has never questioned how Obama intends to implement his "magic" trick for transforming and bringing change to Washington nor who will likely be candidates to his cabinett?

    Hilary for president, I think not. First of all it is unconstitutional to have a woman as president. Second, she is too menopausal, I am not sure who thinks a woman???s hormones are settled down at 60 years old, but a woman???s hormones never settle down no matter how old they are. I have a real issue with a woman getting pissed off over something small and making a bigger mistake then the presidents who have come before her. As a woman I don???t know another woman who is not hormonal 24/7 365. But my biggest reason is the fact that a national leader is supposed to go into other countries and be able to speak with other leaders and come up with rational decisions. How is a woman supposed to go into another country where women are not even talked to by men? How is she supposed to go into a place where women are not allowed to be in the same room as a man while politics are being talked? She will not be respected in their country as a woman, let alone as the president. There are too many things wrong with a woman being president that will make things much worse for our country.

    And just remember this, since every one is entitled to free speech and their own opinion, if you don???t like what I have said, TO F*CKING BAD!

    I feel that Hillary has always wanted the White House more than Bill did...they knew for her to get there, he would have to lay the groundwork. She is a political who*r*e who has one vision...the White House.

      I don't care how people see this, there is a big part of it is about RACE. The man is a talker he fools everybody not only the black people and also the white guess what if clinton loose to obama; Mr OBAMA WOULD LOSE TO MCAIN YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK. me personally i would vote for Mcain Imagine all hillary voters vote for Mcaine in November that thing Mr. Obama call movement would vanish just like that ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,

        In my family we have 4 votes, we all voted for Hillary, but if Obama is the nominated candidate, I'm voting for McCain, not because I don't think Obama can't do the job, but because this country really needs is someone who knows how to run this country, not with sweet talk or double talk, and just ideas (Bush- remember him) but someone with the capacity and ability to do what's necessary to actually do the job.

    If she drops out, she will show less spirit than the Republican Huckabee. If she truly wants change and has enough fight in her to keep going, she should keep going, but with a cleaner campaign. Frankly, if she drops out now or if she wins, it's going to be very hard for millions of Americans to look at her the same way. Right now, John Edwards is looking better to me than Hillary. I imagine that's why she's been pushing some of his platform lately. He ran and dropped out with more class than what Hillary is showing right now. I'm disappointed, because I was one of those that thought may be a woman can show them how it should be done. May be one still can, but just not in 2008.

      Huckle-berry and ***-on are cast from the same mold, selfish egomaniacs with interest as long as its for the self..!

  • Posted By: bball @ 02/25/2008 7:30:31 PM

    The one thing reporters fail to report is that if Hillary stays in the race, I think she should, Obama won't have enough delegates to win either. We not only need but deserve a brokered convention. The more time involved the more we will see what Obama is really made of. Hillary has already proven herself to me.

  • Posted By: ablankpage02 @ 02/25/2008 7:30:14 PM

    A wonderful article. As much as anything, what Hillary risks by continuing to fight is a further poisoning of her husband's legacy. She should step aside, with class and dignity, and perhaps cross her fingers that Obama stumbles against McCain in the fall.

    Honestly there is little excuse for someone who watched her husband win two presidential elections come out and make so many bad decisions in such a short amount of time. She needs to regroup, wait til 2012, and beg James Carville to join the fray one more time.

  • Posted By: Luckyse7en @ 02/25/2008 5:57:14 PM

    Hillary would be the worst possible president. Her husband cheated on her (undeniably at least once...probably more) and she took him back. She cried when questioned about her patriotism. America does not need a weakling for president, especially with the state of things over in the Middle East, where women are treated like second class citizens. Is she going to breakdown in tears while on visits to other countries?? How can anyone take her seriously after that pathetic move to gain sympathy and votes. Women who use this ploy make me sick.

    I have to laugh at all these Hillary backers, claiming that she has more substance. What substance are you talking about? She has shown me nothing. Experience? Hardly. She's a senator just like Obama. They both have the same job. She's a one trick pony riding the coat tails of her husband's successful presidency.

    As a woman myself, I love the idea of a female president, but I'm not going to vote for Hillary just because she's a woman.

      AN YOU THINK OBAMA CAN BE A STRONG PRESIDENT? HA,HA,HA ONLY THING I SEE IN HIM IS A SKINNY BOY THAT NEEDS TO EAT SOME BEEF TO LOOK BETTER. I DONT THINK THE SUPER POWER COUNTRIES WILL GIVE HIM ANY RESPECT IS JUST A SKINNY BOY WITH A BIG MOUTH

  • Posted By: nvincent @ 02/25/2008 7:29:42 PM

    I agree with Deadrea. Hillary has the experience this country desperately needs. How can we forget so soon the perils of electing an inexperienced candidate. Obama would look like another fumbling Bush. If Obama win the nomination, I'm voting for McCain.

  • Posted By: cincinattiwaterman @ 02/25/2008 7:29:22 PM

    What are you all worrying about? McCain is going to be the next President, can't you see it? 52 percent of the people do not want Monica's boyfriends (wife) back in the White House and 56 percent of the people don't want a guy with a middle name of Hussein in there either. The Winner is....... McCain. Face the facts folks

  • Posted By: MEDICAL LDF @ 02/25/2008 7:29:14 PM

    JUST PAY ATTENTION TO ONE OF THE DIFFRENCES BETWEEN THE TWO. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN FORCED TO BUY SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT PARTICULARLY BE ABLE TO AFFORD? IT DOESNT FEEL SO GOOD. I AM ALL FOR HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE HOWEVER LETS MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AND THEN LET IT BE AN OPTION. IT SHOULD NOT EVER BE MANDATORY AFFORDABLE YES BUT NOT MADATED. LOOK AT THIS POINT YOU WILL PAY A FINE IF YOU DONT HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE UNDER CLINTONS PLAN AFTER 3 TIMES OF NOT HAVING IT YOU WILL THEN GO TO JAIL. SO IF YOU CANT AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE YOU THEN GET AN ADDITIONAL BILL TO PAY GREAT! THEN YOU MAY LOSE YOUR JOB BECAUSE YOUR IN JAIL THEN WHAT ITS A DOMINIO EFFECT YOU CANT FORCE AMERICAN TO DO THAT. JUST MAKE IT AVAILABLE LIKE UNDER OBAMA HE SAID HE WILL LOWER THE COST THERE FOR IF YOU WANT IT ITS AVAILABLE FOR YOU............ THINK ...

  • Posted By: jonimiki @ 02/25/2008 7:28:40 PM

    The media sways with the wind looking for a hero and it seems Obama has filled the ticket...at least for now. It is so obvious how Clinton is portrayed with strife while teflon Obama slips by without a scratch on his suit. He's the popular jock consuming the spotlight while the read hard work was already done by a more competent women. I scoff at the reasons supporters of Obama speak. He makes me "feel" good. Well that's just great - "feeling good" solves problems like hallmark cards cures cancer. Too bad women have forgetten what we have fought for since gaining the right to vote. I've always said, women are their own worst critic. And this election will prove it again. When it comes to leaders, sorry women of the U.S. you still end up picking the man. As for me, I'm proud of Hillary's efforts and tenacity. And as for the "saving face" issue, I don't believe Hillary gives a rat's a** about that!

  • Posted By: MissyE @ 02/25/2008 7:28:29 PM

    Hillary will never quit. She will get nastier by the week and ratings will go through the roof. People will continue to try and make Obama look like a junior campaigner or racist crazy man by twisting the facts and getting everyone emotionally charged. He will continue to shoulder on and look like the warrior he is and then those same people will resent him for his strength and say that he doesn't care. Maybe they will stop dreaming and start hiding and vote in Hillary. The Republican women will trounce her in thrity minutes and McCain will take his seat, get sick and not be able to finish his term. It will be anticlimatic and Hillary and Obama will both be sacrificed. Ugh. Change has got to be on the horizon. Please. This is too easy.

    GREAT POST- I agree wholeheartedly....

    Posted By: mejeff @ 02/25/2008 5:59:06 PM
    Comment: Half of these posts are so poorly written it is hard to decipher exactly what the person who posted it is trying to say. I cannot believe how many stupid people live in this country and have no problem advertising just how stupid they can be. The author of this article makes a very valid point. Most of the posters below are two ignorant to see it. Have any of you been watching the polls? Do you even understand the primary process? Hillary is on a sinking ship, and nothing short of a miracle can help her. A true Hillary supporter would understand that if she has any intention of running again in the future, she needs to bow out gracefully now before she humiliates herself and alienates her supporters. Look at recent events where she went from claiming it is ???an honor??? to be in a campaign against Obama, to slamming him about his political methods just a short while later. Let me get this straight. She actually complained about Obama running a dirty campaign? I can???t believe that Hillary, the queen of dirty politics, would dare to point the finger at someone else. She is looking desperate. In the end, by fighting a loosing battle to the bitter outcome, she will prove the critics right who say that she doesn???t have the good sense to run this country, and that she is only in it for the power. This nomination was hers to win from the beginning and she has done everything she possibly could do to mess things up for herself. This will go down as one of the most poorly managed campaigns in history; quite a contrast to Bill???s ???96 re-election campaign. Quite frankly, I am a republican and would LOVE to see Hillary win. I think Obama has a much better chance of being elected president than she does. Young democratic voters will turn out in big numbers for him because they like Obama and can identify with him. Also, in conversations with other republicans, I get the feeling that republicans are much more open to Obama, citing his lack of experience as the major fault. However, most republicans despise BOTH Clintons and would turn out in record numbers to vote against Hillary. Instead of complaining and whining, I think Hillary supporters should be happy when she loses, at least with Obama your party may have a shot at the White House.

    This article is disgusting and sexist. If Hillary gives up now, then the voters in PA, Vermont, Rhode Island all lose their right to voice who they want to be president. Everyone is finally waking up to the fact that the media has been completely biased towards Obama since the start of this race. Everyone knows that the media has been bashing Hillary for years. To me campaigning for Hillary is as much about her winning as a continuation against sexism. agree with TheBroker's comments 100%. If someone says anything negative about Obama, they are racist. But if they say anything bad about Hillary, oh it's right, or funny! It is not right or funny. It is sexist and disgusting. Keep going Hillary. Don't let the media pick our president.
