Simple. Hillary is a fighter. She will fight till the end. Barack Obama will not acquire enough delegates come August, when the nominee will most likely be decided in Denver. One mistake on the part of Obama could make or break a campaign, as one mistake could to Hillary. So it is very important that these two candidates fight it out till the convention. And if you say it’s going to help John McCain, it’ll only increase his chances of slipping up, which can very well cost the Arizona senator the White House.
Hillary Clinton will be called so many things if she quits in the middle of what might be a successful bid for the presidency. It will set women politicians back 20 years. Do you think her quitting is what we need?
Campaign stratigists are nothing but quirks. You can hear what comes out of someone on television, like James Carville or Rachel Maddow, but in the end, it is you that makes the decision of who runs the country. Not them. So, the decision is yours. Vote for who you think is the best person for the White House.
Thank you, that’s why I’m voting for Barack Obama. The day after the Pa. primary Hillary should suspend her campaign. That’s what grownups do when they can’t win, like Mitt Romney. If Barack “falters”, she’ll still be there to pick up the pieces.
It’s a tragedy to women everywhere that it took “the woman candidate” to bring down and divide the Democrats. This was Hillary’s choice. Her distortions of Michigan and Florida together with the Rush Limbaugh Hillary voters in Ohio and Texas makes this a particularly painful and needlessly prolonged process. Hillary’s endless need for combat would have proven to be more of the predictable, nothing ever gets done, Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton nightmare in Washington. Now Hillary appears to want to exchange a McCain victory for the chance at a second run in 2012.
I look forward to a woman in the White House someday but as Barak Obama has emerged as the finest Democratic candidate since JFK I will vote for him.

As women who have spent our careers fighting to protect a woman’s right to choose, we recognize that the next president will face serious challenges to safeguard the reproductive health of women. In our opinion, there is one candidate whose leadership on this issue is unparalleled: Hillary Clinton.
Hillary has been an uncompromising leader and loyal ally for each of us in our battles to ensure and protect a woman’s right to choose in America and around the world. We know she will lead the fight for women’s health and justice because we have worked with her on these issues for so many years.
We know Hillary will appoint Supreme Court justices who honor a woman’s right to privacy because she not only voted against John Roberts and Sam Alito but also spoke on the Senate floor about the threat they pose to privacy rights and Roe v. Wade in opposing their confirmations.
We know Hillary will expand contraceptive options because she waged a successful three-year battle with Senator Patty Murray against the Bush administration to make Plan B emergency contraception available over the counter.
We know Hillary will expand fair work-family policies because we worked with her to pass the original Family and Medical Leave Act and then to expand it to cover military families, to provide paid leave, and to improve childcare.
We know Hillary will fight for access to family planning services for low-income women because she has fought to increase funding for contraception and family planning through Medicaid and Title X.
We know Hillary will work to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies because as First Lady, Hillary helped found the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancies and as Senator she spearheaded the Prevention First Act.
We know Hillary will be mindful of the challenges that our sisters face abroad and at home because in 1995 she bravely stood before a global audience at the 1995 Women’s Conference in Beijing and declared that “women’s rights are human rights.”
We trust Hillary Clinton because every time we needed her by our side, she has been there.
Let us be clear — the stakes are high in this election. We firmly believe that no one is better situated to confront the challenges awaiting the next president. As a pro-choice president, Hillary Clinton will make Supreme Court appointments and decisions ensuring women’s reproductive rights in this country.
We believe that Hillary Clinton is the best choice for president of the United States.

Has the right to go all the way in the election,,Nothing can stop her Obama lying or the Media favoring over Obama so much of the other half of the media and congress agree they can not push Hilary out,,, specially with she is neck and neck,,, Obama only a Head by a little over 150 delegates,, and they are trying to push her out what a joke, here are the facts
Well as always the blog is wrong,,,, No matter what any media say The Democrats are split completely ,, There is now way that Barack Obama will win anymore even if he wins the primary,, Them media is wrong as always, about everything when it comes to barack obama , They say Obama will lose 1/3 of Hilary votes that mite cost him the election,, Those number are completely wrong other polls on Cnn and Fox show that Obama will lose Half to 2/3 thirds of Hilary Voter,, just for the fact,, Obama supporter will only vote for Obama and Hilary will only vote for Hilary ,, Obama supports say right out if Hilary wins the primary there voter will vote for McCain out of spite, Then on the news Micheal Obama said,, if her husband don’t win,, She don’t think she can support the democratic party,,, this race is lost,,, by there own hands,,, that is why the media is pushing to force Hilary out,even tho it going to cost Obama the presidency,,, LOL
I fote for Hillary we dont need no republicans no more im one of the old vets that bush and his cousin mccain dont like So go hillary we need you.
“And the notion that somehow it’s cute or amusing, or a useful diversion, I think, is something that all of us have to recognize is just not the case. We all have First Amendment rights. And I am a constitutional lawyer and strongly believe in free speech, but as a culture, we really have to do some soul-searching to think about what kind of toxic information are we feeding our kids,”
I support Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.
Hillary is the best candidate for Asian Pacific Americans and for all
Americans. She will return this country to the path of progress. She
has a proven track record as an advocate on behalf of America’s real
needs, and will be ready to lead on Day One.
I know that for change to happen, the next person in the White House
must be a proven national leader. That person must be strong,
intelligent, and compassionate. Hillary Clinton is all of those
things.
Hillary Clinton has an extraordinary amount of experience on the
national level as a sitting Senator of our nation. She has 35 years of
commitment to public service. She has been through many trying times.
Not only did she survive, she has emerged a tough and experienced
fighter, and I know that she will fight for us. She will work to help
college students get a quality and affordable education, help working
people by creating good jobs with good pay, and help the uninsured get
the healthcare they need.
Though she is tough, she is also compassionate. When she graduated
from law school, she could have become wealthy working for a
corporation. Instead, she chose to work for the Children’s Defense
Fund, helping abused and neglected children. Her compassion has been a
hallmark of her service all these years.
But it is her commitment to diversity that impresses me the most. It
is not enough to talk in generalities about bringing people together.
Instead, one must look at a person’s actions. In her campaign, she was
the first to start an API outreach office. An analysis of presidential
campaign staffs found hers to be the most diverse, and to have the
most Asian Americans. A national Asian American political advocacy
group, 80-20, sent a list of 6 questions to all the presidential
candidates on such issues as fighting workplace discrimination against
Asian Americans and nominating Asian Americans to federal judgeships.
Because of her willingness to commit, she earned the sole endorsement
of the group.
Hillary has taken the lead in policy issues important to APA’s,
including making family reunification a priority in immigration
reform. Many Asian Americans have been the victim of international
politics. She has met with over 80 world leaders, is experienced in
foreign affairs and will bring America back to its position as a
respected world leader. It is no wonder that out of all the
presidential candidates, she has the greatest number of endorsements
from APA elected officials, including Senator Dan Inouye,
Congresswoman Doris Matsui, former Governor Gary Locke and State
Controller John Chiang.
As one of California’s top 12 state constitutional officers and an
elected woman myself, I deeply appreciate the strength that Hillary
had to possess to get to this historic point in time. Her strength is
what this country needs right now.
Hillary is our best and brightest chance for a better life for all
Americans. She deserves to be the next President of the United States.

Obama’s fight against Clinton is the real fight. Once he wins that, the McCain fight will be anti-climatic.
Dear FRIENDS
I’m going to give you the same advice I give to Hillary: block out the distractions — the skeptics, the media coverage, the beltway chatter — and keep your eyes on the prize.
With the news media constantly poring over the minutiae of the campaign, I make sure Hillary never forgets to stay focused on what matters: telling every last American about her vision, her experience, and her commitment to bringing real change to people’s lives.
Let the press worry about the shifting polls and the daily back-and-forth. As long as Hillary stands up for the values we share — and as long as you stand up for her — she’s going to win this race.
It’s a tight race, whether you’re counting delegates or total votes, the kind where one big victory can shift the momentum. We’ve got a race like that coming up in Pennsylvania in just six days, and your immediate action will make a difference.
Contribute now to help Hillary win big in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
We know Senator Obama’s strategy: spend, spend, and spend some more.
His campaign is hoping their spending is enough to win the primary and bring this race to a close. But they weren’t counting on the incredible connection Hillary has made with Pennsylvanians or the remarkable support you have shown her.
Tonight, Hillary will share the stage with Senator Obama in a debate, and Pennsylvania voters will consider their final decisions over the next six critical days.
If you contribute to Hillary’s campaign today, you can be assured of two things: it will go right back out the door to help her win, and it will make a difference in this close race.
Contribute today for our Pennsylvania victory.
Don’t forget: stay focused on what’s important, and we’ll celebrate victory together.
Thank you,
Bill Clinton
