Hillary Clinton Deluged With Calls For Her Withdrawal

Washington Post:

In her most definitive comments to date on the subject, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Saturday to put to rest any notion that she will drop out of the presidential race, pledging in an interview to not only compete in all the remaining primaries but also continue until there is a resolution of the disqualified results in Florida and Michigan.

A day after Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean urged the candidates to end the race by July 1, Clinton defied that call by declaring that she will take her campaign all the way to the Aug. 25-28 convention if necessary, potentially setting up the prolonged and divisive contest that party leaders are increasingly anxious to avoid...

...Her remarks come as Clinton faces a mounting drumbeat, driven by the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and his backers, for her to bow out and avert a party crisis. Obama's supporters argue that he is too far ahead in pledged delegates for Clinton to catch up; Clinton counters by saying that neither of them has secured the 2,024 delegates needed for the nomination.

Is she still in the race? just hit the mute button, you'll miss all the disingenious lying.

Like Obama was a product of the bridge walk in Selma? Like that lie? Or the lies about his pastor and his father? Like those lies?

It does ironically now seem that Hillary is a champion of democracy in the face of the Democrat party and their desire to halt the democratic process and coronate a king. Who'd a thought?

By relying on the Superdelegates to overturn the will of the majority of voters? That's what's ironic.

I will vote for HRC if it comes to it in the general, even if the supers hand it to her. I'd vote for happily if she can actually win more of the popular vote during the nomination. But that probably is not going to happen.

How embarrassing.

Recent history has shown that when a party goes right to the convention with a floor fight and other negative sentiments moving beneath the seemingly smiling faces and dropped balloons, they lose the general election.

Hello, President McCain (meet the new boss; same as the old boss).

Congratulations Democrats - You have failed us once again.
