Clinton to Drop Out of Race Saturday

Given that 20% of the democratic Clinton supporters now threaten to vote for McCain, Perhaps it is time for Hillary to show her true colors and join McCain as his VP.

I hope Hillary does not accept the VP if offered. Let this man who thinks he is the great savior stand on his own. He will not be able to beat McCain on his own, and the Democratic party knows it. Why should she take a back seat to this fraud? By the convention, more will be known of his background and shady character relationships. Come November, I am hopeing he will not be the Democratic Nominee. Perhaps at some point he will have to withdraw for the good of the party. He is not capable of uniting us. He has caused too much division.

ding dong the wicked witch, or b word, is dead.

Well, we heard all day yesterday that she was giving a concession speech last night so who knows if this is true or not.

I'm still flabbergasted that Obama has chosen Caroline Kennedy as one of the Veep advisors.
How very odd.

I ahve been a democrat all my life. I will NEVER vote for Barack Hussein Obama to be our president. That also goes for many of my democrat friends here in CA. 20 years associated with that anti- american church and that white hateing, angry wife of his is more than enough for me! My friends and I will be voting for John McCain. He will be our next president. Very sorry to see Hilary drop out. Big mistake for the DNC.

A TROIKA GOVERNMENT?

TOMMY CHRISTOPHER: So, fine. We get it. Just get on with it.

REPLY: Not, so fine. I don't get it. Get on with what, a Troika Government and how does it work?


Being an NON-PARTISAN INDEPENDENT, we neither fall in love with the party candidates, nor fall in line behind a party candidate, but would like to sell baseball bats to both Democratic and Republicans, and let both sides beat each others what little brains they have out. There is one question that the Democratic should be asked.

The Clinton's had a Co-Presidency, and placed the (VP) on call. Bush had a puppet Presidency, where the (VP) put his hand up the backside of Bush and ran the country by puppetry. Is it now the intention of the Democratic Party to now have a "TROIKA" Presidency?

Just how does a Democratic Clinton & Clinton & Obama "Troika" Presidency work? Do they take turns as the San Diego City Council does; you’re the head of the council for say a quarter or semi-annual term? Or, do they have a three way vote with once side having a majority going in of (66.6%) advantage? Do you hand each a Cadmium Plated Silver Dollar and have them flip the coins the odd man what loses or wins?

Would the Democratic please explain to a poor Non-Partisan Independent the workings of the new "TROIKA" Democratic Presidency?

Does that mean the Democratic Party will take two steps back into the (20th) century under the Clintons time as head of the "Troika", and one step forward with each time as the head of the "Troika" with Obama?
One step into the future and two steps into the past?

It's time for her to concede. She will be a better person for it.

NATIONAL TV IS AIRING IT ALL RIGHT NOW. CLINTON WILL SUSPEND HER CAMPAIGN ON FRIDAY AND ENDORSE BARACK OBAMA ALSO. NY TIMES CARRIED THE STORY AROUND 4:20 TODAY.

sorry you gave up i really thought you would win...

It's true. I heard it when it very first came out about an hour or so ago.

Every time I see DL Graham's post's I have to wonder what his choice of drug is.....

SHE IS NOT CONCEDING - she is SUSPENDING her campaign. She keeps her delegates. Once again, screwed up MSM reporting.

Thomas Jefferson, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN, once wrote in a letter to James Madison: "I hold that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and is as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."

Senator Clinton:

SAY NO TO VP! DO NOT SURRENDER.
WE WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS TO DENVER!

NO THANKS GRAHAM. The Nonpartisan League (NPL) was a political organization founded in 1915 in the United States by former Socialist party organizer A. C. Townley. The Nonpartisan League advocated state control of mills, grain elevators, banks and other farm-related industries in order to reduce the power of corporate political interests from Minneapolis.

Congratulations to both Democratic frontrunners!

Hillary Clinton has won the popular vote by over 300,000 votes. Barack Obama has won 130 more pledged delegates.

Here are the final totals:

POPULAR VOTE (all primaries and caucuses)
Hillary Clinton: 17,785,009
Barack Obama: 17,479,990

PLEDGED DELEGATES
Barack Obama: 1766.5
Hillary Clinton: 1639.5

Currently, 2118 delegates are needed to win the nomination, according to the DNC. A successful appeal of the RBC’s recent decisions on Florida and Michigan would change that threshold to 2210, but that’s less relevant now because the pledged delegate allocations are fairly final (pending completion of state conventions) and, again, neither Clinton nor Obama will have enough pledged delegates to reach either 2118 or 2210.

Since we got a lecture from party member and SuperD Donna Brazile Saturday at the RBC meeting on the importance of her momma’s lesson about following the rules, let’s review the DNC’s rules for winning the nomination.

It’s not complex. In a nutshell (and I will attempt to fill this in later with official sources for those who really have time on their hands): If a nominee does not win a sufficient number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination, the automatic (or “super”) delegates must determine who the nominee will be. The automatic delegates, who are elected and unelected party officials, can use any criteria they each find appropriate when voting, but the original intent and purpose of the super delegate system was to ensure that the party nominate the most electable candidate for the general-election battle.

Most importantly: The automatic delegates cast their votes at the Democratic National Convention, along with the pledged delegates. This year the convention will be on August 25-28 in Denver. It will certainly be an historic event as presidential conventions go because of the extraordinary task at hand for the automatic delegates. Their votes, by the way, will be cast by private ballot.

That’s the status of the Democratic Presidential nomination process.

Now, Barack Obama can “declare himself the nominee” (FOX News characterization last night), he can throw all the big parties and make all the pretty speeches in as many hope-change-unity rallies he wants. He can campaign with vigor against John McCain. (And so can Hillary.) The Clinton-hating Party Clique can “proclaim” that Obama is the nominee; the mainstream media can continue to ignore reality…None of this is surprising, and none of it matters…

Because there will not be a nominee until August. There will not be — there cannot be — any nominee until August. And even the “presumptive nominee” status is a stretch because normally that claim is made by a candidate who has reached the required number of PLEDGED delegates (as John McCain did).

And anyone who thinks that Hillary Clinton supporters don’t understand all of this…is delusional and seriously underestimates the loyalty and passion of her quiet yet determined army (although some of us aren’t that quiet).

We are informed and engaged constituents committed to a brilliant and inspiring leader. We are NOT going to fold our tents and hop on board Obama’s train just cause that’s what we are told to do by people who, frankly, are experts at losing elections. NO. We have collectively determined that we’d actually prefer that the Democrats win the Presidency this year. No more McGoverns, Carters, Kerrys, Gores, Harts, Deans….Nothing personal, guys, but your track record stinks.

In the 2000 Presidential Election, Al Gore won about 550,000 more votes than George Bush. Given the consequences of that election fraud, I thought it would be a cold day in Hell before Democrats would let anyone steal the election from another Democrat…But then again, these are the General Election losers running our party so…

So, while Obama is zipping around the country and world on the garish Unity Express, let the rest of us remain sober and focused in respect of these basic and indisputable FACTS:

1. Hillary Clinton has now officially won more votes than any person to seek the presidential nomination of EITHER political party in history, and her candidacy accurately represents the will of the people who voted in the Democratic primaries and caucuses.

2. Hillary Clinton won ALL of the major states except Illinois.

3. Hillary Clinton finished the primary season with momentum, out-performing expectations in several races such as, most recently, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, and South Dakota (see Obama’s predictions spreadsheet); Obama, in contrast, is wheezing across the finish line with a downward trajectory that bodes poorly for the general election.

4. Hillary Clinton assembled a coalition of loyal voters that can guarantee victory against McCain, including white women, hispanics, catholics, jews, and lunch-bucket workers.

5. Barack Obama is still a relative unknown, remains unvetted by the media, and is teetering on the brink of being clobbered by the GOP, RNC, 527 Oppo Teams due to his treasure chest of bizarre skeletons.

In light of these cold, hard facts, Hillary Clinton bloggers and supporters will continue doing what we’ve been doing: Passionately making the case that Hillary Clinton will be the best President, that she has a superior chance of beating John McCain. It’s do-or-die for us, and for the country. And we have every intention — indeed a duty — to carry that message all the way to Denver.

Note: popular vote totals from ABC News and pledged delegate totals from Real Clear Politics.

UPDATE:There are stories circulating that Clinton plans to leave the race this week, according to comments quoting ABC News. Just to clarify: I expect that Senator Clinton will suspend her campaign in the near future in the interest of party unity. In that event, however, it’s up to us — her supporters and bloggers — to do what she cannot do politically, which is to continue to fight for the nomination on her behalf until the convention chooses a nominee.

We got a job to do Hillary supporters!

Hillary would be a great President of the United States.

Congratulations to both Democratic frontrunners!

Just who do you think you're kidding?

Obama needs to find a good running mate. Not Hillary.


Go Obama!!!!

Hey Voice-found ya

If Hillary drops out Iwont vote at all this country stinks for the attitude and the embaarassment that they have caused the United States of America . black over white shame on all of you .

I hope Hillary keeps possession of her delegates, just in case Barama self-destructs before the convention. Wish him well...but protect us ffrom him until it's really too late. I'm so sick at heart for her...to have been so dis'd by the media and other colleagues.

Barama is a BS'er when he talks about "change". One of his first acts as the "presumptive" candidate was to begin contacting Hillary's fund-raising big wigs (NY Times 6-32-08). He's uncomfortable considering Hillary as VP because it goes against his campaingn promises of change and out with the old. Funny, he wants change and new outlooks, but has no problem looking to old money or accepting the back-slapping of someone like "old" Teddy Kennedy. Will his whole cabinet be under 46yo to keep them new and fresh. forget experience...his resume shows it doesn't matter. What a hipocrit!!

divided you are,

Not so fast, better know how it really works re her delegates. Her suspending only has to do with financial Fed. Aid money coming into her campaign. She is endorsing Obama friday, that is called conceeding. You don't endorse another candidate while still in the running. Think straight, it helps. Ha ha.
