Then it was Nancy. And now Howard is getting in on the act. Yesterday, Stumper predicted that the Democratic battle royale between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would end in June, after the final primaries in South Dakota and Montana.</description><dc:language>en</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.1 SP2 (Debug Build: 2.18)</generator><item><title>re: Dean's July 1 Deadline</title><link>http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/03/28/dean-s-july-1-deadline.aspx#280288</link><pubDate>Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:24:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">544c64cf-7058-4151-925a-a0fd041e73dd:280288</guid><dc:creator>C. MacLean</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;July will be too late, the damage will have already been done. Dean is useless; he needs to go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Hilary cared one little bit about the democratic party she would quit now, before the Pennslyvania primary, and throw her support to Obama so the dems can beat McCain. That is the only way she can even begin to redeem herself in the Party's eyes, and even that may not be enough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She won't, though, she is too obsessed with herself and doesn't give a hoot about the democratic party or the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m not worried about this hurting Obama or helping McCain. &amp;nbsp;He has to fight until November anyway, so why not fight against Clinton right now? &amp;nbsp;We’ll have plenty of time in Juy, August, September, October and November for the general election fight.&lt;/p&gt;

Success stories happened because of principles of determination and never giving up. If George Washington and his patriots gave up the fight, we will still be shouting 'HAIL TO THE QUEEN'. What if Abraham Lincoln did not finish the war and let America be divided?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professional boxers fight to the last round. With 2 last rounds remaining, a true boxing champion never tell his opponent during the fight to drop out so that he will be declared the winner. A true and brave fighter never do that. Only a coward does.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama has declared ' I am not afraid of any man or a woman'. Then show it Obama. Tell your supporters to stop asking Hillary to quit. Show it that you are the champion who will professionally fight to the finish. If you cannot go to the distance against Hillary, then how can we expect you to go to the distance against McCain?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A fruit does not taste sweet if it is not ripe. Earn your victory with honor and respect. Even a young David had to finish the fight against the giant Goliath before he became a king.&lt;/p&gt;

He's said Hillary should stay in the race for as long as she wants. He's willing to let all of this unfold as it will. Smart guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And when all the primaries are over, regardless of what happens with FL and MI, he'll still have more popular votes, more delegates and have won more states. And as the Obama endorsements come flooding in along with superdelegate support for him, there will come a time where it won't matter that she's still in the race. The outcome will be crystal clear, even if she continues to deny that she's lost.&lt;/p&gt;
