Will it finally be time for some posters to drop out
if the candidate that they hope will drop out doesn't lose big today?

Just asking. Doesn't matter who the candidate is that they want to lose. Just asking, if that particular candidate doesn't lose, should they drop out and stop hope-hope-hoping for that candidate to lose?

1. Some people REALLY don't get what's going on. This really IS about Us.
Candidates are bubbles on the breaking edge of some BIG waves.

2. It Depends On Why They Are Here
To me no matter who wins the nod it's "us" against "them". You should be united with some team be it Hill, Bam, Edwards or something else. Only thru unity can we create change, the change that is so very desperately needed in this country to survive--for the Constitution to survive. We need it so we don't have to explain to the grandkids what freedom WAS!

4. And Here I thought all Voices were welcome at the Democratic table!
I'm seeing a lot of this around here lately. Reminds me of a few years back when Berkley Campus tried to pass an ban on "people saying mean things!" FREE SPEECH , Folks.

5. I think the poster is referring..
to drive-by gang-bangers, whose goal is to disrupt, and promote divisiveness by way of rumor. It isn't restricted to presidential primaries, and it has the effect of distorting the truth. I think once the particular issue passes, so do they. They obviously exercise their "Free Speech", and are only 'silenced' when they go over the line in terms of incendiary language the is particularly offensive.

6. You are correct.
Those whose only purpose for being here is to rag on someone and create nastiness are no big loss if they go. Those who have a true serious and sincere goal in saying what they say--be it positive or negative--should always be welcome.

My big problem is with the "grave dancers." They are always champing at the bit to pronounce this or that candidate "dead" and "finished" and claim that he/she should drop out NOW. Oftentimes they attempt to bury the patient before the patient is even dead. Do I question their motives? You bet. And it doesn't matter who they're knocking or touting. I have to question why they are posting more about who they DON'T want to win than about whoever they DO want to win.

7. We need to focus on Congress
Bush is just one man, and he couldn't have accomplished anything without the help of Congress(and the corporate media)
