Campaign 2008- Hell no. She Won't Go! (Nor should she)
I'm now 100% convinced that I will figure out the meaning of life before I figure out how the Democrats (or the Republicans for that matter) choose who their Presidential nominee will be. Caucuses vs. Primaries, delegates vs. superdelegates. Hillary Clinton wins the Nevada caucus, but Barack Obama gets the most delegates. Same thing in Texas. Everyone knows how much I push the Get Out and Vote message, but you hear stuff like that and you wonder if your vote even counts?
In the past couple of weeks, there has been rumors that the Democratic Party is urging Hillary to drop out so that Obama can focus his financial guns on John McCain.And my question to them is "why should she?"Hillary Clinton is still very much alive in this race. I know you probably need a masters degree in math to figure it out, but from where I'm sitting, she can still pull this out.
Last I looked, she was still leading in Pennsylvania. It's getting closer, but she still could win big there. Then who knows? She gets the momentum and some people back on her bandwagon, and she could very well catch Obama and take the nomination. You count the Clintons out at your own peril.
You might think that I'm urging Clinton on so that she and Obama will continue to bloody each other and make it easier for McCain. Look as far as I'm concerned, the sooner she bows out, the better off the country will be. I'd love to see her quit. Having her around is like having the Atlanta Braves around. I'm not happy till they are mathematically out of it. They always have a chance. And so does she.
Which is why I understand her desire to stay in till the end. These Democrats who want her out are fooling themselves. You want to call Barack Obama the presumptive nominee? I'll believe it when he's giving his acceptance speech in Denver.
