Barack Obama Has Won Bow Out HillaryPosted by customer77 in Untagged |

"The Politico laid it out very clearly yesterday - and solidified what we've known for weeks - this race is over. Obama has the nomination.
Even Hillary Clinton's own campaign admits it! Politico reports, "One important Clinton adviser estimated to Politico privately that she has no more than a 10 percent chance of winning her race against Barack Obama, an appraisal that was echoed by other operatives. In other words: The notion of the Democratic contest being a dramatic cliffhanger is a game of make-believe."
This beggs the question, what is wrong with Hillary;why don't she bow out?

Thanks for your comment. It seems to me, that it is time to help take the focus off of Barack Obama?s friends-who are not running for the presidential nomination-and put it squarely were it belongs back on Hillary Rodham Clinton?s motives and her self interest that go beyond the democratic party and the people of these United States. Her plausible victory requires the disenfranchisement of yet another Black American, Obama an outcome that will not stand. So Hillary needs to bow out now and join us battling these Neo Cons, who are trying to worm their way back into the White House for another four years.

As this march to victory for Obama moves forward, we must not forget the words of Frederick Douglass, "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will."
You and I, and nearly every Black America (except Ward Connerly), know that he is fighting a battle on two fronts -- McCain and the Neo Cons, as well as the Clinton machine. In both cases, they will concede nothing.
Only when he wins at the Democratic Convention will the party rally around him. I saw a commentary by Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco, last evening. He reminded us that this is an "intramural contest" for the Democratic Party. There will be no permanent damage done, regardless of who wins. Democrats have not lost sight of the ultimate goal to recapture the White House. They will heal quickly and rally to the support of the standard bearer, because the differences ideologically and politically within the party are small and insignificant when placed in contrast to the Republican opponent.

Roger your comments are always welcome. I wish others would enter theirs with such clarity. My beef is that Hillary's tactics are more than what is allowed in a simple "intramural contest"between same party candidates, they are down right 'dirty-ticks' and I think unethical; she needs to be called out to account for them to the party membership. She is negatively campaigning against a fellow democrat. When I heard that Drudge-Drudge Report- had released the picture of Obama in Somalian native dress and it came from Hillary's campaign people, I was thoroughly disgusted with the Clintons. It time for a change.

What is really different for the Democrats is this issue of Super Delegates. With the theoretical potential for shifts in their positions, there remains a plausible path to victory for Hillary Clinton. While I am a Barack Obama supporter, and would love for her to bow out, I think that the notion of not being a quitter is driving her to remain in the race. She certainly has more reason to hang in there than Mike Huckabee did.
Finally, the mudslingers aren't finished yet with attempts to destroy Obama by any means necessary. They have tried to trip him up at the ankles and the shins. They are going for the knees now. There won't be much left for the Republicans to throw at him when he wins the nomination. The charges that they have against him are positions that the entire Democratic Party will rally to defend.
It will remain an interesting battle to follow -- perhaps all the way to the convention.
