Garnet SpyIt seems like everyone is pushing Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race by Wednesday if she performs poorly in the remaining primary states.
Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont hold primary contests that day, and the Clinton campaign, trailing in the delegates needed for nomination and having lost the last 11 straight contests, has acknowledged that the New York senator needs to win at least Ohio or Texas. Both candidates were campaigning Sunday in Ohio.
The problem is that even if Hillary lost all of those states by slim margins she could still end up with the nomination. The downside to it is her image will be forever tainted among the Democrats. The Democrat Party’s system of breaking up delegates in proportion is what has allowed her to keep up with Obama so far. If she is not far behind but manages to win the support of enough super delegates she can still be the nominee.

She won’t give up unless she’s at least 200 delegates behind, I figure. If I’m correct, some of the fun will be when Texas’s popular votes goes for Obama (barely), and she ends up with the majority of the delegates. The reason? Fewer independents and younger people will actually caucus after voting.
Looks like Mike O. was wrong. Guess we should always go in the opposite direction of what Mike O. predicts.
She’s a fighter That’s what the whitehouse needs ……………08 Hillary!
like Bush (cough cough) says………never give up
