I think Hillary is only staying through NC/IN then dropping out.
She cannot continue to sustain heavy damage on her debt load - and I'm sure many vendors were already called in advance, and asking for cash up front knowing that she has stiffed one too many vendors. Shit-gate is certainly getting heavy play and has killed Wright-gate part 2, giving Obama the one-up.

Who agrees?

1. Nah, I think she'll stay in.
What's the point of dropping out after NC/IN?

She already lost a month ago. She's been in financial ruin at least as long. If she wanted to stay classy she'd have dropped out long ago.

8. Eh. I don't think you can necessarily say something that just broke a couple hours ago...
has sunk a campaign. People were saying the same thing about Wright when it came out, but Obama's still doing fine. I think this will probably blow over even quicker than Wright, Sen. Clinton will either split the wins May 6 (losing NC and winning IN) or lose both, and that will be the determining factor going forward.

Personally, I expected a split decision on May 6, and this never-ending primary to march ever-onward. I don't think we're done till Montana and South Dakota have their say in June.

9. She will stay in.

Sadly I think Obama left an opening and she took it so Indiana and NC may not be the blowouts needed.

And of course Wright showing his face for some nice PR and crap with no care what he was doing in my view.


My guess is this is going to June...

God help us!

10. I have a feeling ....
I have a feeling that after Obama wins big in NC all the remaining supers will pour out in droves and she will step down.

The only thing I am worried about is her setting up some bullshit fiasco to make it look like she was cheated so she has a shot in 4 years if things go bad.


She lost this election on her own merits.

11. From what I've read she hasn't spent a dime in Oregon so you could be right
There were a few posts here in the past few days by Oregon residents saying they've received no literature from Hillary and haven't seen her on the tube though Obama is doing both. If that can be confirmed then maybe you are onto something.

13. No, they're both in for the long haul. Even if Obama gets the 2,025, she'll cont. w/MI & FL and
trying to persuade delegates to change their minds.

She cares nothing for the party OR the country. They are entitled to win, you see....the Clintons.

14. The Clintons have never been unaware of their bottom line.
We can hope.
