Hillary Is Finished And Should Drop Out
She has no chance of winning now except through some extraordinary skullduggery. She would need to get the delegations from Florida and Michigan seated, even though everyone agreed in advance they would not be; and she would need to get the super-delegates to trash the verdict of the voters. Even then, it's not clear she could still do it. If she somehow managed it, she would generate so much bitterness within her own party that its chances of winning the general election would be damaged. Some Democrats would refuse to campaign for her. Some might even campaign against her.

It is very, very close, but I think the public is going for Obama now, and that's all there is to it. She had only a slight chance in the beginning anyway. I just don't think this country is ready for a woman president yet. If there wasn't another strong candidate running this year, I wouldn't think they would be ready for a black president either.

Definitely. She didn't ever have a chance in the first place. Just calling him President Obama now. McCain doesn't stand a chance either.

I agree. Hillary has been done for a while now. I'm from Michigan and nobody that I know is going to vote for her. She gets slaughtered at every debate by Obama. He is a way better speaker and he will be our next president.

I agree hilary coming back would alienate lots of in between voters who may vote republican and that would be terrible... She wouldn't be a terrible president but i think even if she were in office she would be constantly scrutinized and minimally effective... Not fair, but seemingly realistic... Greater good... Quite frankly it would also be such an endorsement to barack, and a sort of graceful submission

Get rid of her, it'll make American politics safer anyhow, I don't want her anywhere near the White House ever again.

 Especially after the grand success of her "well-to-do" husband, Billy. It's not like he never did anything ethically questionable...

Clinton should withdraw promptly because the longer she stays in the race, the greater the Republicans' chances of winning in November. There is such a gulf between Huckabee and McCain that, for them, this is simply not true. The only way Hillary can win now is by turning it super-ugly. It's perfectly clear that she is willing to do that. She is willing to jeopardise her own party's prospects of winning, and let the Republicans in again, in pursuit of her own mad ambitions.

By staying in, she is forcing Obama to waste money on adverts campaigning against her. That money could be better used against McCain. Any politician responsible enough to be president should realise that inspiring total revulsion in her own party is too high a price to pay for getting the top job. She appears to be willing to destroy the Democratic party just to get what she wants.

I am THRILLED that Hillary respected her commitments and believed in herself, her constituents and her country not to give up. I never took her to be a quitter. I was right.

If Hillary had quit, she would have been lampooned to the death for not being "man enough" to stay the course.

She should have been President. I am beginning to feel very shaky with Obama. I think we made a horrible mistake.

 Like Bush, Obama has had a terrible time with substances and other issues. It is only a matter of time, before catches up with him.

Hilary is not finished. She is the best choice for President. People will come to see this before the elections this November. She has the power and integrity to back up what she promises and her opinions would do this country good. Americans need to get their heads out of their butts and realize that she is the correct candidate for running this country.

She should only throw in the towel if all the other candidates do the same. It's not over.

NOT YET. OHIO AND TEXAS VOTERS MAY JUST LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL THE TIMES THAT OBAMA BASICALLY SAID "DITTO" TO HILLARY'S SPECIFIC PLANS.

Even if she does not win the nomination delegates needed, she must stay in the race until the final vote at the convention. SUPER DELEGATES DO NOT HAVE TO VOTE WITH THE POPULAR VOTES IN THEIR STATES. NOT ALL OF THEM ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION AND INDEED, ARE NOT EVEN IN OFFICE NOW, SO THEY HAVE THE FREEDOM TO VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT THEY TRULY KNOW HAS DEFINITE PLANS AND EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE AND PERSONALITY TO GET THINGS DONE WITHOUT DELAY. I'M COUNTING ON THEM TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA AND TO VOTE FOR SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON.

THANKS, MACKENZIE, FOR YOUR GREAT ANSWER HERE. AMERICA NEEDS HILLARY AND YES, AS YOU SAID, SHE IS DOING U.S. DEMOCRACY A FAVOUR.

CNN and other television networks and news editors have shown so much bias all of this election season. It is clear to me that they decided a year ago to get Obama elected and their coverage, especially CNN. For me, CNN is no longer "the most trusted name in news" because they have been totally against Senator Clinton from the time Senator Obama announced his candidacy.

If Mike Huckabee has yet to drop out of the Republican race--where he has absolutely no chance of winning--then why should Hillary clear the way for an Obama coronation? Clinton should fight on until after Texas and Ohio have both voted. If she wins in these two states--even by a small margin--then she and her husband should engage in some good old arm twisting, in order to secure the support of a majority of super-delegates.

Hillary is doing US democracy a favour by staying in the race, even if she is now fighting an uphill battle with the odds stacked against her. Since the media is not willing to burst the Obama bubble, Hillary should keep stabbing away at it. She is a skilled debater and did much better on this front earlier this week when she confronted Obama in the CNN debate. I imagine that the Clintons may still have a few tricks up their sleeves, so let's be patient and see how this thing plays out over the course of the next few weeks.
