not that i like hilary or anything, but she has a popular vote quite equal to that of Obama, she carried the BIG state primaries- the states that matter to Dems, cause they go GOP anyways, and i think she is a better candidate than obama-- not that i like her...or any of the candidates. besides, its her decision to jump out or not, and people shouldn't push her out. it's not the American way.

Well, the delagates elect the nominee . That is the democrats rules. Obama has young people , and bring new people in the political system. It is not because Clinton won the the big states mean that Obama can't win them in the general. Clinton is very hypocrite, she is not trustworthy. I think at this time we need someone who will bring people together. Not someone who say this I quote "I have the white Americains votes" or "Bobby Kennedy was assasinated in june of 1968" or " Dr King did not push the civil right movement on his own" and many more. Clinton say anythingh or do anythingh to get elected. She is divisive , and we don't need that now. She has to go!

Obama is the anti-christ.

"According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is:
The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will
destroy everything Is it OBAMA?? "

i got that in a e-mail. do we really want the anti-christ to rule.

Clinton said she has the white American vote in response to an interviewer's paraphrasing of analyzed results, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June of 1968 and Dr. King did not push the Civil Rights Movement alone...how are these statements terrible?

First, those statement Don't have any place in the democratic campaign. If that okay for you for clinton to say I have the white vote ( yes your are right she quote the AP article ,but they did not mention "white America") , and the black vote or the young people votes is not that important that is okay. Kerry lost in 2004 because there was a low turn out of black voters.Clinton should keep her dignity even if she running for an Office. She has a strong relationship with africain Americain , but she chooses the low road to damage it. For Obama being a muslim, we all know that is wrong and I want to know why people think that being a muslim means you are a terrorist. We have to stop judging people just by the label. It is wrong and absurd to say that muslim are anti -christ. I am not muslim ,but I do respect them as human and religion. This is very pathetic when we know that there are good muslim men, women and children out there. We have to improve ours level of thinking about those who are differents from us.

well, everyone IS entitled to their own opinion, but I prefer Hillary...and I really do not understand why the statements about kennedy being assassinated, and about king and the civil rights movement, are so terrible?
...besides, why do you want Hillary to drop out? It's still possible for her to get the nomination (possible, but not likely), the democratic party has split either way, so she might as well go all the way with it....

Since I am not informed enough to go on about the political side of this, I'd like to say that I love these little mysteries. I know no one can say for sure if this is true or not, LOL, but chances are, he isn't. Fun to think about though. It would be quite the ironic turn of events lol. :P.

Haha as if that's possible. I highly doubt her body guards would allow that to happen. And plus, she's not that bad. She can win states Obama can't. She can win states -- the bigger states that matter -- and Obama can win smaller states that don't really matter. All the polls show she is better at beating McCain in the fall than Obama can, and I believe that's true. So when America picks Obama as the Democratic nominee, sadly, he will lose and we should get used to saying President McCain... what a shame.

I completely believe that is the case, but there is the chance that if Obama gets the nomination and chooses Hilary as Vice-president her supporters may grudgingly vote for Obama.

Hilary Clinton is realistic and although she has made a few faux pais she is more progressive and forward thinking than McCain but less radical or extreme than Obama and i think that America isn't ready for Obama.

Hilary will stay on because she knows that she still has a strong case for the nomination even if many don't think she does.

Yeah of course she will still stay in the race until the end. And I don't think America is ready for Obama either. Mark my words, he will lose to McCain in November and we will have 4 more years of Republican rule. She can turn huge red states blue -- including Florida-- polls show she can beat McCain in Florida where Obama cannot. Now come on, how many times have you seen Florida turning blue? I rest my case.
