Hillary Should Get Out Now

It's ridiculous that many of you say you'll vote Mcain if Obama wins. You think that's what Hilary would want?? I believe she would want a Democratic candidate, whether it's her or not. It seems to me that too many of you take word for word what these people are saying. Haven't you ever listened to a politician before?? They ALL put a nice spin on the things they say, not one of them is COMPLETELY honest. What id on't understand is why Hilary has gotten ugly and insulted Obama for using hope in his campaign. Don't you get it, Obama is in the lead BECAUSE he talks about hope. His numbers aren't coming from the stereotypical voters. They are coming from people like me...the youth..the future...people that still cling to hope. Our nation is on a course of self-destruction. We want to believe that change can happen,if you can take that away then you might as well turn to your children and grandchildren and tell them, "Hey that American dream you hear so much about,it's crap. Give up now. You can't be anything you want. No matter how hard you work you'll never succeed. Change is impossible. This country will sink before it tries to save itself. " Sorry we still have dreams and refuse to be crushed by the failing schools, horrible foreign policies and crumbling economy of this Bush administration. Why don't you let US try?!?! Either way, I'll vote Democratic.ANY Democrat would be better than what we have now. Though i have to say, I'm disapointed Hilary has gotten so dirty, doesn't she see that old-school politics is why she's behind in the first place. We don't need some bred,raised and hand-fed the past brand of ugly,corrupt and lying politics. We wanna try something new. Worst case scenario,she'll be prez in 2012. If she does want EVEn that, she should bow out gracefully.

How about a little sports ananology: The Patriots were DESTINED to have a perfect season. Tom Brady was as near perfection as could be found. Should the Giants have just stayed home since the odds were so against them? Happy to say they didn't. A bit of time has gone on, and now we've learned the Patriots have been cheating for years, Brady is a hound dog with few morals on view, and the GIANTS really lived up to their name.

Now to politics. It's neck and neck, and Ms Clinton should step out to make it an easier win for Mr Obama. That's not an election, that's stupidity. You are implying she should do the genteel thing, and that is nothing but sexism. Would Ms Clinton (or any woman) even be considered a possible candidate with the same "relatively" short resume that Mr Obama has? I doubt it. This is merely a reminder about America. We fear being labled as racist, but you can still put down a chick and get the laughs.

Mr Alter do democracy a favor, and stifle yourself.

First of all, I'm young...and i HATE hip hop. Second I saw only a handful of african americans at my caucus and every single african american I've talked to didn't even vote. (and he still won my state) So sorry, you can't package all Obama supporters into a nice and neat little box of-black, hip hop lovin' youngsters

The media needs to quit. Exactly what democrats felt betrayed by Gore when he quit pursuing what was rightfully his in Florida in 2000. Hillary should never quit. We as a country need her courage and strength to persevere. Women need to stand up for justice and not be persuaded by men in the media. People especialy women need to start thinking for themselves and not be led by the misguided media.

You are a totally ignorant ranting fools. I hate to use those terms, but that's what you sound like. I'll tell you who Obama is: he is the birth child of America. He is the the bridge between white and black; His mother is white and his father is African. He is the bridge between a blemished past and a hopeful future. Hence he is the son of a Southern Slave Master's decendent, and the son of the African Slave. He is what America hopes to be united as one. Our country has a checkered past true, but we can change that, we can rebuild the legacy of America. What we stand for now is diveristy and that's what he represents, across age, race, and social economic barries. It's really not "who" he is, but what he represents. Anyone with a policatical background with "experience" can run for president, but what they lack and what he has is "vision". You can't work for that. Hillary is an amazing woman and I commend her strength, but right now she doesn't have what the American people are looking for. We need something new, fresh, untainted; A visionary with passion, purpose, and hope. We need unity. A wise man once said, A house divided against itself can not stand. We need to unite and work together to rebuild this country, and leave a legacy for our children that we all can be proud of. Obama may not be the person to fully complete that task, but he will be the flame that ignites the heart of the American people to see it through to the end. God Bless America, God Bless Obama.

Comment: I totally agree with you on the subject of race/gender, and Obama not turning this into a "First Black President" campaign. I commend him for that, and that's why I make the case of his background, because he IS NOT exclusively black and he IS NOT exclusively white. But because Hillary is a woman, the media is really dividing the Democratic Party between race and gender. That's why I say, a house divided against itself can not stand. If they can't agree, then they need to at least agreee to disagree, which is a little cliche'ish. But they will have to in order to ensure that a Democratic is running the country for at least the next for years. All the people who say that they will not support one candidate over the other, and will vote for McCain is a disgrace. You are very individualistic, and are not looking at the whole picture. If McCain is elected into office, due to people with that mindset self interest, the suffering of the American people should be on your head. The blood of the soldiers who McCain plans to keep in war for another 100 years, will be on your hands, and the tears of the family and children that will lose their loved ones will rain down on you.
