Is Hillary Finished?

Once again Obama has come out on top in a big primary, this one in Wisconsin. Late polls had shown HIllary was gaining slightly but the results showed Obama won by about 15%, the last I saw. What do you think? Is it all but over for Hillary or can she still catch up? What would you advise her to do if you were her campaign manager, either to throw in the towel or advice on how to catch up, if that's even possible at this point? Annie

She should probably try kissing his butt to get the seat as his vice president that way all the people who won't vote for him cause he isn't white and won't vote for her because she is a woman won't have to vote for a democrat at all. Problem solved :)

Well, I think if someone has a problem voting for anyone other than a white male they're probably not going to vote for a Democrat anyway. I'm not necessarily saying if they don't like either of these two candidates but that if they won't vote for any woman or any black man they're not a Democrat to begin with. Annie

It is so funny you say that. I am from Pennsylvania and there Governor (I believe it was Rendell) just got quoted over national TV saying Pennsylvanians most likely won't vote for Obama because he is black. And PA is like the most democratic state I have ever lived in. lol

I'd heard about Rendell's remarks but didn't hear the direct quote which is surprising because I tend to watch political coverage 24/7. I also caught part of Rendell's appearance on Hard Ball the other night where tried to explain himself a bit better but you know how those things go sometimes. I have to ask what other states you've lived in if Pennsylvania is the most Democratic state you've live in. I'm proud to say we're a somewhat blue state but I don't think Pa. is exactly typical of most blue states. In my opinion there's a bit more racism here than I'd care to admit to but I'll still personally predict that if Obama is the nominee he'll carry Pa. and if it's Hillary she'll win here also. Annie

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that she can somehow catch up.... I may not be totally thrilled by her but I'm sorry, I just don't like Obama and he would never get my vote, and no I never vote Republican, and can't stand McCain anyway

Never say you're sorry for who you like or don't like! I must say, I'm sooo relieved that you're not going to vote for McCain if Obama gets the nomination. I can't stand him either and the thought of him getting in would be another term of Bush on steroids I'm afraid and the idea of listening to that sing-song mono-tone voice of his makes me want to call on one of my Canadian friends here to PLEASE take me in!

I think Hillary has finally had it. She has run a horrible campaign and like I predicted many many many months ago, she won't win the nomination. Look it up on here, I'm sure I posted it months ago. I personally don't think she should throw in the towel, but I'm not sure whether my feeling is based on her campaigning, or rather on my personal hope that this race tears the Democrat Party to pieces.

I'm going to be honest here. I am an African American, and I thought hard on who to support for President. I really thought that Hillary would come out for the Dems, but I am thrilled that Obama, who I am also supporting as well is really rocking the polls for the Democrats. If ya'll been following the news, Hillary fired her campaign manager not long after Super Tuesday, but if I were her, I'd still hang in there and learn from this campaign. I feel Obama and McCain will be toe to toe in the fall. And once again like in 2000 and 2004, but hopefully with no cheating this time(LOL!!) it will once again be a tight race. The Bible says the race is to the one who endures to the end, now if she read that, she'll do what's right and learn from it. Enough said.

I dont think she is done yet. I am not giving up on her. I vote on Tuesday. I will vote twice....once in the primary and once in the caucus. I really want her to win.

Well, here we are, a month or so later and Hillary's still hanging in there. Who knows how this is going to turn out but it's sure been interesting. Annie

After reading all the posts and also the political news i can say only this Americans do want a change from this tyranny. Mr bush has made americans fed up with his policys and brought the country into a bad situation. I hope the change which americans are looking forward may get delivered by Obama. Hillary needs to pack her self there is no room left for her. As for Mc Cain yes he can represent another Bush.

That's the biggest point I try to keep on making to everyone, whether they love or hate either Hillary or Obama - McCain is Bush on steroids, Bush's third term, McCain equals "McSame" - however you want to say it, that's what it amounts to. Thanks for responding! Annie

I certainly hope not. I think we could really have a chance with her. I am not into politics very much. It seems to me that if she was elected, ex-president Bill Clinton would have to go too. He seems to have a bearing on her campaing. Isnt it possible the same is true for the presidency? Everytime I hear Obama speak I feel as if he is talking down to me, as if he is better than. We just found out that hes plagerizing his speeches by stealing them from Govenor Patrick. I know they both have little idiosyncracies. I just feel that with Hillary its more lifelike or realistic. President George W Bush has literally worn the citizens of the United States of America to the bone. He has used our soldiers to fuel an ongoing problem he has had with Osama Bin Laden. Osama disrespected his father and now the United States is going to pay for it. We need new blood. America is tired! No matter who gets the presidency, I hope they keep the peoples needs up front.

Buh bye....Hill. I'm happy to say that I think she is hopefully. Can't start getting cocky yet but inmy not so well versed political opinion- She's in dire trouble and venture to say she is over this race..if she isn't she needs to be. There is hope for the world and America is showing it right now.
