The time has come to separate the distinction of a male, black candidate from a female, white candidate.
This cannot be a competion driven by race or gender. This needs to be a race for who can beat John McCain. Are you looking for another 4 years of republican (George Bush) b-ll s---?
As capable as Mr. Obama may be he has no chance against McCain. Senator Clinton is our best bet to win the presidential election. She has the experience and the drive this country needs to turn around the economy and the to get us out of the fiasco in Iraq.
I am pleading with the American public to put aside race and gender and consider who will best position us to defeat another four (minimum) years of Republican inadequecy.
Your friendly liberal

Look, I respect Hillary tremendously, but Obama is ahead and he deserves the nod. I disagree with the argument that he couldn't beat McCain. In all states he has received more votes than McCain. Bush will do to mccain what bubba did to gore! McCain is stuck, he knows bush's record is horrendous and I can't see him being able to defend it or escape it's radioactivity! Worse than Chernobyl bush record is! Obama & Hillary should meet and decide to add Hillary to the ticket as VP! I'm sure she'll take it.

I think Hillary stays in the race for a couple of reasons:

1) Obama's recent implosions with Rev Wrong and calling regular folks "bitter" is evidence that he's not the savior many had hoped. He's so unknown that there a good chance more damaging information will be uncovered-revealed-released in due time.

2) She's doesn't believe Obama is electable vs McCain and is already looking ahead to 2012. She figures on playing the entire game so people can vote for her in all 50 states (and PR) and knows that if McCain is president, he probably wouldn't get re-elected if approaching 80 yrs old at that time.

Yes, Hillary, don't give up. This is too much fun to watch. Two socialists, one, a selfish, lying, nefarious b*tch, the other a 14 year-old looking, self-righteous elitist, who hangs out with America-hating racists, and 60's terrorists! Let's hope these two clowns keep fighting it out until the bitter end!

We need to vote for Obama. If you're a Democrat, voting for Hillary would be like voting for VA Tech when WVU is ahead by 3 touchdowns with 30 seconds left in the game. It doesn't make sense and we need to beat McCain!!! Clinton has had the last 20 years of luxury w/ the white house and governor's mansion, not to mention the 100+ million dollars. If you think she can relate to me or us in any way, you're crazy.
Please let's end this thing!!!

I agree if Obama makes Clinton his VP he will lose alot of moderate republicans voters like me. I think the USA has had enough of the Clintons. She should get back to doing her job for NY. So far she has dissappointed alot of people in NY for using us as a stepping stone only to become the President. She never really cared about the needs of my state.

Winners never quit, quitters never win!!!

Hillary should stay in the race until June 3, and it the race is over, then she can step down with pride knowing that she gave her best for US.

However, no matter who wins, vote Democrat, or we will all be doomed.

WARNING: Ignore posts bashing her or Obama these people are not interested in a Democrat Win.

hillary should step aside after west virginia so she can have a real chance in 2012. she should say she is doing so for the good of her party and the country knowing full well most of her supporters will sit out the election or go for mccain. if she plays the super delegate card to highjack the nomination her party will be so divided that the election would go to mccain and stain her reputation so that she would have no chance in 2012. even if obama were to win he would inherit the same mess as mccain allowiing hillary who made a graceful exit in 2008 to become the comeback kid.

The headline:

"Clinton presses on, urges supporters to ignore calls to quit"

Is really ironic, especially if you say it like this.

"Bush presses on, urges supporters to ignore calls to quit"

I know why many think this and the argument is an unfortunate one, however I wouldn't be entrely sure that Obana couldn't beat McCain. I know you shouldn't believe everything you read in a poll, but this week Gallup had Obama over McCain by a percentage point, Rasmussen had him winning by 3 and CBS had him by 11. The only poll that broke for McCain was USA Today by a single percentage point.

Well Im not sure if you all posted before this mornings latest Hillary gaffe but I think she just handed Obama the Candidacy.

“‘I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,’ she told USA Today in an interview published yesterday. She referred to an Associated Press story on Indiana and North Carolina exit polls ‘that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hardworking Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.’ She added,‘There's a pattern emerging here.’”
No shes not playing the race card..... <Eyeroll>

Peggy Noonan also believes Clinton played the race card in her USA Today interview. "If John McCain said,‘I got the white vote, baby!’ his candidacy would be over. And rising in highest indignation against him would be the old Democratic Party. To play the race card as Mrs. Clinton has, to highlight and encourage a sense that we are crudely divided as a nation, to make your argument a brute and cynical ‘the black guy can't win but the white girl can’ is -- well, so vulgar, so cynical, so cold, that once again a Clinton is making us turn off the television in case the children walk by.”

“‘She has unleashed the gates of hell,’ a longtime party leader told me.‘She's saying,“He's not one of us.”’

She isn't going to gain super delegates with this train of thought thats for sure
