Hillary And Bill: We Aren't Going Anywhere

**UPDATED 03.29**

In an article on the obstacles Hillary Clinton faces in regards to winning the nomination, The New York Times notes that despite the increasing pressure on her to step aside, Clinton is still refusing to give an inch:

Compounding the challenge, one of Mr. Obama's most prominent supporters, Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, said Mrs. Clinton should quit the race because she hurt Mr. Obama "more than anything John McCain has said."

The Clinton campaign showed resolve in the face of the developments, rallying supporters and donors and enlisting prominent surrogates to fight back. Mrs. Clinton told aides that she would not be "bullied out" of the race.

In a conversation with two Democratic allies, she compared the situation to the "big boys" trying to bully a woman, according to interviews with them.

On the campaign trail, Mrs. Clinton said she was in the contest to stay.

On Friday both Clintons struck defiant notes on the trail in response to recent suggestions from leading Democrats that Hillary should end her campaign.

From MSNBC:

Just in case you were wondering what Hillary Clinton's No. 1 fan thinks of recent calls for her to drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination, Bill Clinton has three words for you: "Bunch of Bull."

"All these people tell you, 'Aw, we oughta shut this thing down now; the Democrats are so divided,'" Clinton said at a campaign event here. "That's a bunch of bull."

From the New York Times Caucus blog:

To answer questions that have been swirling around her candidacy all day, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived here in northwest Indiana - just a few miles from her Democratic rival's home on Chicago's South Side - to unequivocally say she has no intention of leaving the presidential race.

"There are millions of reasons to continue this race: people in Pennsylvania and Indiana and North Carolina and all of the contests yet to come," Mrs. Clinton said. "This is a very close race and clearly I believe strongly that everyone should have their voices heard and their votes counted and that includes Michigan and Florida."

Then, she added: "There is a lot still to be done and I'm looking forward to campaigning hard over the next several months."

Anyone who thought there was a slim chance the Clinton's would display graciousness and class, need to have a reality check.

This is what is in jeopardy with her refusal to put our country and the Dem party above her inflated ambition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9IldaegAB0

Don't give up Hillary. You have my support and the support of a lot of people. The media and the Obamanians are constantly attacking you but be strong and don't give up. They wouldn't be attacking you so much if they thought you were going to lose.

Subverting the will of voters is no longer limited to the Republican Party thanks to the Clinton's. Choosing to campaign as a pale imitation of an unelected president with 20some% approval ratings is a rotten strategy. They deserve to lose and they have even if they won't admit it.
The Clinton's no longer represent the interests of the American people. They are doing untold damage to the all ready troubled Democratic Party.
You really have to wonder who Clintons are working for, the GOP?
If they cheat their win into the nomination, I'm going to sit this one out. I'm sick and tired of holding my nose and voting for the lame choices of the Party leadership.

Time to say "goodby."

[WLA]

Or "goodbye," even.

[AnninCA]

Why? Because Obama can't really win in primaries? *hehe

[Ohioliberal]

I voted for Bill twice, now I am an Obama supporter - I can't support a candidate that I cannot trust to speak truthfully to me. Like other people I have a severe case of Bush / Clinton fatigue also.

A picture speaks louder than words. Cold, calculating, triangulating, liars, what is is, War veterans, we could go on and on and on.

Hillary is divisive.

[hopein]

That's true they are going nowhere unless it's prison.

[monty]

Hillary Clinton ought to choose Ralph Nader as her V.P. They would be perfectly despised together.

[Monkeytime]

The new Huckabee... Only less likable and further to the right.

[thatsitfortheotherone]

China (or India) is probably where the moderator(s) is/are.

Just like her campaign, they aren't going anywhere. Which is why more and more people are supporting Obama.
