Clinton: Time to Quit?




I have always been a fan of Hillary Clinton. She possesses the drive and motivation each politician needs to be successful. She is an excellent public speaker and was born to be in the center of the political scene. However, I cannot help but feel that the time has come for her to step aside and allow Barack Obama to receive the nomination. Clinton is hoping for a big showing in Pennsylvania, which I am confident she will get, however it will be virtually impossible for her to catch Obama in the delegate count. The last thing many Democrats want right now is to have this battle go all the way to the convention, leaving whoever comes out with the nomination a short amount of time to prepare and plan a campaign against John McCain. Clinton has the opportunity to exit the race with her integrity and following intact. While John McCain has not take advantage of the time given to him thus far, several more months can only benefit him. If the Democrats prove to be indecisive now, it will hurt them later on. The fact of the matter is, Clinton's approval has reached a new low and even the Rev. Wright issue failed to hurt Obama's campaign in any significant way. Obama appears to have the support of the younger population. The question is, in the general election, will these younger voters actually come out to the polls and vote? This election has received a lot more attention from previous elections and it appears Obama and Clinton alike have made politics interesting again. All in all, it is time for one Democratic candidate to emerge as the nominee and begin the long preparation leading up to the election.

I used to be a fan of Hilary until she started playing the same old games every politician plays during elections. They're in the same party. It seems there should be a limit to how far they will go against each other for the good of the party.

There have been too many comments that Clinton supporters won't vote for Obama if he wins the nomination. If there is no way to win its time to concede, do some damage control, and turn her supporters to Obama for the good of the party before its too late.
