Why should she quit? From the very beginning Clinton has been fighting an incredibly biased press; a medieval political invention such as caucus; a delegate counting system that allocates numbers according to districts turning a close victory into a loss. These are just few of the reasons Clinton should fight to the very end.

She had name recognition from Day 1, Obama is ahead of her. How come?

The audactiy of some Obama supporters and most meda types to suggest Clinton drop out. Last time I looked, the delagate count was a pretty close race as well as the pppular vote. Obama has won small states that will most likely go for McCain in November. We're not talking about a Huckabee situation where the candidate in second place is completely out ot the race. Just in case you haven't noticed, there is no way Obama will get 2,024 delagates either. Do the math.

I believe that the candidates should continue to meet and campaign for the entire Primary Period.

This is the first time that many states have had their votes counted and meaningful in a Primary.

The news media and some Obama supporters are pushing for the race to end. Let the people decide, the vote belongs to every American not the Super Delegates.

First the Clinton campaign says that they'll wait until how the remaining states vote before people conclude who will be the Democratic nominee. Fair enough. Now, Hillary Clinton seems to say that the outcome of these races matter little, because she's now taking the fight all the way to the convention. This would give the Democratic Party only two months to unite behind a candidate--after a potentially polarizing race--AND win the November presidential elections. With Clinton's shifting campaign goal posts, making it harder for anybody to catch up with the Billary spin, she seems to be saying, "if I am not going to be president, nobody else in the Democratic Party will!"

I think that Hillary will stay in the race until Obama hits the magic number of delegates. Barring that, I think she is in it for the long haul, right into the convention. And I don't think anyone should fault her for doing so. This is supposed to be a democracy, isn't it? Well, let the voters decide the nominee!

Yes Hillary should continue! Obama does not have this in the bag as some in the media would have you believe. A difference in 125 delegates when there are still 10 States to left and FL and MI still undetermined this is still anyone's race. The media's hate for Hillary is amamzing! Let the voters cast their votes and then let the superdelegates do what they were supposed to do not what Pelosi and Obama supporters want. This is what democracy is all about. Hillary is no where near the same situations as these other individuals were. I still say Obama has a lot of skeletons in his closet which the Republicans will expose and if he thinks Hillary is throwing everything including the kitchen sink, he has not seen anything yet! I for one think the Dems will be fine and either candidate will beat McCain, EXCEPT if Hillary is being disenfranchised by those in the media! If that happens, I WILL NOT VOTE!

Hillary is the type of person that changes what she thinks when it benefits her. I think she will continue to find ways to stay in the race even when Obama reaches the magic number. She has not played fair in anything so far and always comes up with an excuse for her lies or mistakes. She has shown her personality every time she has lost a state. Just look at how she leaves a lost state and never thanks her constituents for voting for her. After super Tuesday, she couldn't wait to get to the next place. It is amazing how she has changed or rather let us all see the true Hillary since she has been campaigning for the Presidency. She loves Bill so much it probably is just as much for him and it is for her.

Ernie you exxagerate and using words such as ANYTHING and ALWAYS is an example of your bias. I am a Black person who finds Obama to have shamefully played the race card to his advantage. He has won more states but states that Democrats will NOT win this fall. Obama has come up with excuses for his mistakes as blunders or lack in judgment. We do not need a president who gets involved in things as bad as he has and then say these were blunders then get away with it because he is Black and the media does not want to offend him. She has won states democrats normally win and MUST win to get elected. Obama has gotten votes from Republicans who thought voting for him would get Hillary out. Now some realize they might have made a mistake because he might win afterall and are now voting for Hillary. You also are stretching the truth here about Hillary she has thanked the states that voted for her and in those that did not, she thanked those who voted for her. Now, do you want her to hand around after the primaries are over or should she move on to the next state like ALL of the candidates to work on the next state? This is not a beauty peagent or rock concert...she has to fight for every state just as Obama has to.

If Howard Dean or any other Obama Supporter thought that having to wait until the votes of all Democrats were cast, and eventually have delegates show up to a Convention in August to vote for their choice for the Nominee, THEN WHY DIDN'T THEY CHANGE THAT RULE?

Why are they crying about pulling the Party apart. Why are they crying about dissention? Why are they crying about having to ACTUALLY HOLD ELECTIONS? Why are they crying about ACTUALLY COUNTING VOTES AND DELEGATES?

Get a grip people, THIS IS THE PROCESS. Hillary is simply running a real campaign, all the way to the convention. Hmmm, that's actually the way it was intended to be.

If they want to change the process, let them simply Crown Obama the King, to replace the one currently living in the White House. Because he's being elected by Independents and "Democrat-for-a-day" Republicans. He is NOT the DEMOCRATIC choice.
