She is too talented to quit. Why can't they just kiss and makeup and run together for the good of the country? That would be the right choice.

Wake Up! Take a look at the polls and smell the coffee...the Obamalanche is OVER! Hillary is definitely going to win Ohio and Rhode Island (and lose Vermont) and she is probably going to either win Texas or split it 50/50. The polls in Texas have turned around...they have gone from Obama up several points to Obama running dead even (and not that 'statistical' even that CNN is so excited about when Obama is down 5 or six – as opposed to the 'Obama leads' headlines when a poll shows him up by one point!).
Let's look at this race on the morning after this primary...they are going to be very even in overall votes (especially with FL included) and they are going to be very close (less than 100) in total delegates...AND, Hillary will have won 6 of the 8 largest states and she leads in the polls in another 8 largest state – PENN. – meaning that Obama will win only one of the 8 largest states (ILL – his HOME state- which is a certain D state anyway!) [Hint: 42% of the total electoral votes in those 8 states!].

I'm sick of all these Democratic Party spokespersons commenting on what Hillary should do. I thought this was a Democratic election (but it's starting to look a whole lot like a Republican election). I heard Bill Bradley tell Wolf last week that all uncommitted Super Delegates should vote the way their state/district voted. So, Wolf, being the fair minded person he is said, so that means you, Senators Kerry and Kennedy would vote for Hillary. Mr. Bradley immediately said, 'No, I said uncommitted Super Delegates'. That is the height of hypocrisy. I'm through with the Democratic Party (I've been through with the Republican Party since 1991). I'm joining Lou's party – the Independent Party.

As a Senator Clinton supporter and a proud Democrat I do believe that IF Senator Clinton doesn't win big in Ohio and Texas then for the good of the Party she should drop out.

Senator Clinton still has a great political future ahead of her wether it's in the White House or the Senate. If she doesn't win the Democratic Nomination then I do believe she has a great chance of becoming one of the Senate's most powerfull Members.

While I am so happy to see that the Primary has lasted this long, which I think it good for the Party, I do believe that If Senator Obama wins Texas or Ohio then it's time to unite the Party around Senator Obama and allow him time to prepare for the General election and time to unite the Party around the Nominee.

I am so pleased that finaly the most popular Members of the Democratic Party ran at the same time for the Presidential Nomination. I think it showed the Nation that Democrats want real change and real leadership. 4 years of failed leadership has united this Party like never before. Can we say thanks Dummy, I mean Dubya.

It is her decision. If she wins Ohio comfortably (say 7% indicated by polls), but loses Texas by a very small margin (say 1% indicated by polls), she should continue to actively campain, but she should stay positive in order not to damage Obama too much. If she loses both states, then she should not actively campain. No, she should not completely quit. Obama is too green and too new in public. In case he stumbles (possible), Clinton can then come back.

If Clinton wins both states, then Penn will become a bigger battle ground state. Every potential voter there will get multiple calls!

A curteous withdrawal and backing of Obama would suit Clinton well for her political future–that is, if she loses...

For the sake of the country, I hope both Clinton and Obama stay in the race until the bitter end, by which time the entire country should be sick of them both. Hey, Ralph Nader might be looking good to the Democrats by then. JD from Big D

I think Tuesday will be a split decision with Clinton winning Ohio and Rhode Island and Obama winning Texas and Vermont. But after all the votes are counted, Obama will still be ahead by about 150 delegates. Clinton is going increasingly negative which only hurts the party in the long run and doesn't do much to help her in the short run. She needs to let go of her ego and exit the race gracefully. But since this is all about her and her ambition, I don't think she will exit. If Obama had lost 11 races in a row, he would have been heavily pressured to exit before Tuesday. But she is getting a free ride because of her husband.

I think She should stay in clear up to the convention. The longer she stays in the better it will be for the Replicans, plus I feel she will be easier to beat come November then Obama will be.

Heck no, she shouldn't drop out. Remember people that Hillary's not a quitter. She's a fighter, a seasoned public servant, and an experienced policymaker. And sorry to all you stereotypers who are made uncomfortable by a woman who's not soft.

Let's stop all this monkeybusiness and choose someone serious to work for us in the White House.

Latinos for Hillary! Patriots for Hillary! Democrats for Hillary!
