I believe that Hillary Clinton should take this to the convention and wait it out. Do not make it easier for Barack Obama. I,for one, feel he will be discredited hopefully before the convention. If not, she has slowed him down and builds some leverage going into the convention since the wimps running the Democratic National Convention don't want bad publicity on their hands so they will play let us make a deal. Also good for Hillary. Maybe that ensures her of the presidential slot or that of VP...I will have to think about the VP slot because I am so against what Obama stands for and with whom. Now if she adopts this strategy and she wins that is a good thing. If at the end of the day, she doesn't who should we vote for. I think the Hillary Democrats should go elsewhere if she does not win. All of us know that we cannot vote for Obama. So is it McCain. Without Hillary, Barack Obama does not have a ghost of a chance of winning in November. The Republicans will get him for sure. What do you think. Let us have a debate.

I have watched the ad that Spence did for Clinton..it is great. I think she should have him do more. I love the quality and the message. Now what are we going to do after March 4th...I say Hillary stay in and be a thorn in their side. There is no other candidate who is so close; you are neck to neck. That means that the Democratic party is not that enamored with Obama at all. This is a major split and with the press as negative as they have been about HC..it just shows that HC has done a most brilliant job. Did you see the Meet the Press episode..Tim Russert is one biased guy. He raised a list of synonyms describing the candidates and I thought he was way over the top.

I want to see Hilllary take it all the way to the convention. Because truly this is such a historic election, I don't want
her to drop out no matter what. As for those who will say that the Dem party is divided, trust me. Clinton
and Obama will smile and make up. That's politics.

I think she should take it all of the way too. Let the DNC sweat it out. It is about time they had to do some negotiations. And I want Hillary to be holding some trump cards. I absolutely abhor what they have done to her.

I agree Hillary should take it all the way to the convention. There are still less than one mil popular votes and less than 80 won delegates separating them. They are both far from the required delegates for nomination. She is a strong woman, she is not going to jump ship just because the media tells her to do so. Superdelegates are also coming under alot of scrutiny for caving in to the pressure put upon them by BO supporters. Let's hope everyone does the right thing this time around so that we do not have another 8 years of someone who is in capable, and in my opinion, dishonest.

I agree...saw Wolfson and Axelrod with Stephanopolous (whose name I could be misspelling). Wolfson was very impressive. Axelrod looked and acted like a used car salesman. I think that Axelrod is backing down on his estimates

I think that she will take it all the way.
It is funny to me that the media makes so much of a small separation in delegates when 1/2 of the country is yet to vote on the Dem. side..

And on the Rep side,
they are very polite to Huckabee.
as they should be because he is still in the race.
But the delegate difference is huge.

I just wish they would treat Sen. Clinton the same way.

Now do not discredit Mike Huckabee. Mccain is dangerous but not AS dangerous AS Obama. Hillary, needs everyone's voice and prayers to keep her up. She is strong there is no doubt, but everything we can do should be pushed to no limit as Hillary has done for MANY People and Cause.

I saw it too. How come we don't see Obama on any of the news shows getting questioned without Hillary around to
help?

Did you see last night's Saturday Night Life episode. If you haven't you should look for it and take a gander. They did a skit of the last debate. It was hilarious. But it shows ever so clearly what the press is doing and how they are acting. If SNL can see the bias; why can't the rest of America.

Some people, unfortunately, have selective hearing and vision. They choose only what fits their ideal and will not open up to any other perspective. Where can I find the SNL skit? I saw Hillary live on SNL, but missed the earlier skit.

Well I think parts of it are on youtube but I found it untouched in its original form on I'm not obsessed. Do a search of clinton on snl and you should find the link. It has the whole thing. Very funny I watched it again.

pobrien, Why do you believe that Obama supporters have not noticed that the press is being hard on Hillary? It is an unfounded assumption. Yes, they are harder on her and possibly because she is a strong woman. I disagree with that kind of coverage

Are you saying that they perceive that Obama is weak and that is why they are harder on her. I think Howard Wolfson got it right. He was interrogated about Hsu and yet none of the tough questions are being asked of Obama about Rezko. On the abc site there is an excellent piece which outlines the questions that our illustrious press has missed...somehow, I also disagree with that kind of coverage. Are you an Obama supporter? If you are, then you are the first person that I have heard make that acknowledgement who supports that man. In any case, the SNL skit gets it right and it was hilarious. What they are doing to HC is not funny but sad considering so much is at stake.

I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow..I so hope she continues to do well. Ohio looks good; although nothing is ever certain in this life....I think I feel good about Ohio.
