Hillary should stay in the race as long as she wants...

I support her and prefer her as president. It's very likely she won't get the nomination. I'm a little disappointed and I will gladly support Obama for president.

There is no reason why Hillary should get out. She wouldn't be the first and definitely won't be the last candidate who continued to run despite the fact there is little to no chance of winning the nomination.

Here are a list of candidates who have no chance of winning and running for president:

Hugh Cort<46> of Mountain Brook, Alabama
Jerry Ralph Curry of Virginia<47>
Susan Ducey<48>
Cap Fendig<49> of St. Simons, Georgia (dropped out on January 22, 2008)<50>
David Furniss<51>
Dan Gilbert<52>
Alan Keyes<53>
Dr. Mark Klein<54>
William Koenig<55>
James Mitchell<56>
Launeil Sanders<57>
Dr. Jack Shepard<58>
Michael Charles Smith<59>
Richard Michael Smith<60>
Keith Sprankle<61>
Corrogan Vaughn<62>
Vermin Supreme<63>
Vernon Wuensche<64>

That's not to mention all the other candidates who continued to run, like Ron Paul, despite the fact he can't win.

If we're not going to call for the other candidates to drop out, it would be hypocritical to expect Hillary to drop out.

IMO, we should let it play out. It's not going to change the fact that Obama will more than likely get the nomination.

3. They haven't been fighting each other lately that I've seen...

It's been downright polite. Seems to me both are looking to unite the party for the fight ahead.

4. What's the point?

Why should any more Democratic money be spent on a primary when it is over. Better to take aim at John McCain.

7. If she would talk about her ideas and proposals, that would be fine.

But, that hasn't been her habit.
