I would prefer if she quit, because she will say and do anything to get votes and is as sincere as using a wet hankerchief to dry your face. But on the other hand, if Barack were in Hillary's situation I would not want him to quit. With two very historic candidates, they campaigns mean too much to too many people to just "quit". I know it has been a hard fought campaign, but until the it's over, it's not over. I think that Hillary will bow out after the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, even if Hillary gets a well placed endorsement from John Edwards before the NC election (I think this is going to happen, bet on it, but it will be too late, Edwards took to long playing the "who looks like the winner so they can make me Veep card). People have also talked alot, including Hillary about all of the trash the Republicans will through at Obama. If everybody know that the things they will say are unfounded and are only used to conduct dirty politics, why is this considered a viable tactic to sway the American public? Why is this considered a way to "test" a person? It's baloney, and it is the reason we have lost respect in the world and Washington is stalled. We have to change the culture in this country to expect a better fabric of people in this country and not depend on division, mean spiritness, and deceit. Obama represents that. Hillary in this election, as well as Fox News and the Republicans were afraid that the American people would get inspired and challenge this country to face its worst parts, challenge itself, its laws, and its citizens, and become a better nation. But according to the Hillarys and Republicans of the world, it's all "talk". That's a shame, because you see by the increased voting in the primaries, action has already taken place. Barack's election has shaken the US out of its comfort zone, and the young people in this country are involved not because they are naive, but because want to see a different world.

The Republicans will have a hay day if Obama gets the nomination as there will be a lot of democrates voting republican & all those republican votes he is supposed to be getting will definitely be going back to the republicans.

With the race as close as it is I see no valid reason for her to drop out with a win of any kind.

The more I watch Hillary Clinton the more fearful I become. She literally scares me. Her healthcare plan is a good one (for a communist country) and while I feel that a woman is perfectly capable to be Commander and Chief, I don't believe that she is that woman. I beleive she is more concerned with obtaining the office than making a real difference. Professional politicians like the Clintons just play the game it's not about the country at all to them.

I started out this campaign, respecting Hillary but disagreeing with her. Now, I dare say, I've gotten...bitter. She's given the Republicans ammunition a plenty and yesterday she even snidely criticized one of the most active parts of the Democratic voter base, MoveOn members. I just wonder how she'll explain herself out of that one. "If I had known at the time, what I know now, I would've never criticized MoveOn..." At some point this needs to stop.

Let the process play out, let the remaining states have their say. And even let the superdelegates make their choices based on their best judgment of the candidates, not based on the comfort level of party hacks. As an independent, I have to say, the Democrats who keep trying to cut the primary process short are an insult to the voters, and would make of their party a joke.
