Could it actually be better for both to stay in the race until the convention.?
The democratic party's primary rules have made a mess of this election, and almost given repubs the opportunity to pick the democratic candidate, but if both candidates remain in the race until the primary in August, it might help the democrats regain some ground.
sooner or later the repub attack machine is going to have to go into action, and if the democratic nomination is up for grabs that means that the repub attack machine will either have to go after both candidates, which will make it far less effective, or wait until the convention, and then go after the winner, which will leave it much less time to work with, and once again, much less effective.
Also, waiting for the convention might give some time for everyone to calm down, and come to a agreement on who wins the nomination, and come out more united.
Trying to force out one candidate now is more likely to create a bitter division that will last until the general election.
I think it would be far more effective if, after the last primary was held, Hillary and Obama begin to work together attacking McCain. This will force the repub attack machine to go after both candidates, which will erode its credibility, While Obama and Hillary both going after McCain together will pull the party together.

John McCain would love for the race to go down to the convention. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

I think it would be better for the Democratic party for the nomination to be resolved before the convention. The Republican nomination is decided, so he can concentrate his money against the Democrats. They will be spending their money against each other. You can't force out a candidate, the people need to do the deciding. I just hope they get their **** together SOON, or it might be another Rebublican admistation.

I agree, I also think that as long as Obama has Hillary in the race it gives him more speech time, they are his greatest advantage to pull in young voters. Wrap it up now and the young vote might slip away. Wrap it up now and you are likely to really irritate the Democratic base who vote for Hillary. Party leaders should leave well enough alone.

I think they should set up a boxing ring on the convention floor and let 'em have at it.
12 rounds.
Nomination goes to the winner.
Don't kid yourself.
Hillary can throw a punch!
