If Hillary Clinton loses tomorrow in Hawaii and Wisconsin, should she quit?

ok, but perhaps not...but what if she wins Ohio 53 to 47% and loses Texas 52% to 49%? should she quit then?

I heard that her camp has said they will continue to fight all the way to the bitter end and use every trick they can to their advantage, including counting on superdelegates overriding the will of the voters and even trying to claim the deleagate in Michigan and Florida.

At which point does this become a liability to the democratic party that strenghtens the chances of McCain sneaking in a surprise victory?

    She should, but, she will not.

    No, believe me, with the momenteum that Obama has gained, she still wouldn't be here unless she still had substaintial political backing.

    My guess, is the the DNC wants her to continue to run untill aftter the Rezko trail. The news isn't reporting on that just yet, but Obama has had a request by the judge that he release senate records. He hasn't done so, because he said he lost them or something. Well, when bush did that, they made him testify. I am sure this will happen here. It may not amount to anything, but it sure would bring negatives to him. So I think the DNC is holding out.

    I have never seen the news so eager to declare a canidate, like they do for obama. I bet they have a tons of juicy stuff, they are just dying to release, but their news networks are telling them not to. Why release two big raitings at once, let one die then the other pick up. It will hold them up till elections.

    If you ever listen to the superdelegates, they always say. Lets wait to see what happens, I think it will be alright in the end. I think they know something the news isn't talking about.

    She should stay in the race until all the voters have had their say. One of the most irritation thing about the primary process is having it decided before you have a chance to vote. The party will unit behind the winner more readily no matter who wins if everyone's voice is heard. Party bosses or poll driven media should not short circuit the process.

    Note: the party rules say super delegates are free to vote as they choose and FL and MI don't count. One can either choose to follow the rules or not, but you are trying to have it both ways. I think we should stick with the rules and let the super delegates decide how to weigh the vote in FL, MI and other swing states in their decision. I want a winning candidate in November, and I will be happy to support either one.

    the Superdelegate could care less what goes on, they will select Hillary as the nominee, there is too much at stake right now for them to put Obama against McCain. People are voting against Hillary not for Obama and the peoples vote doesnt matter in that party.

    Yeah, if she loses this one she should back out. But I don't think she will. She wants the presidency so bad she acn taste it. I think that if she loses the Democratic nomination she will run as an independent which would be great for the Republicans. She will split the liberal vote and hand the White House over to McCain.

    No, she can still win.

    Obama is a bigger liability to the Party. If people start looking at him between now and the election, McCain will win in a landslide. Worse than the Democratic losses in 72, 84, 88.

    Realistically, the day a candidate backs out of a political race is the day he or she spends more money than he or she raises. Mrs. Clinton is certainly still bringing in a lot of money.

    She should but she won't. Her camp is right about what they will do. It'll get really dirty before long. The dems will have a lot of damage to fix before she gets through. I hope (for your sake-not mine) that y'all stop her before she completely destroys your party.

    The hispanic vote isn't counted in those polls.

    Simple fact is no. She'll still trail the crackhead from Illinois by less than 150 delegates, a number by which she once led.

  • No. She will win it. Watch and see.
