54. Then why have so many candidate in a position similar to hers dropped out?
Do you think this is the first primary in American History?

Are you equally frustrated with all the other candidates in history dropping out before all states had a chance to influence the outcome?

No, you're not. In fact you really don't give a rat's ass, do you? If the situation were reversed, you'd have been screaming for Obama to drop out months ago. And likely he would have done so gracefully for several reasons; 1) He can easily take another shot at it in 4 - 8 years. 2) As a junior Senator, he would have the common sense not to be harming the party with a protracted candidacy. 3) The media and the party would be saying the same things.

Well cheesecake, many other candidates with class have dropped out even with a better chance for securing the nomination than Clinton has now, and none of them were concerned over 'disenfranchising' various states. Otherwise, she wouldn't have already agreed to discount MI and FL.

Reality, try it.
