And the Clinton camp would be calling for him to leave the race for the good of the party but because Hillary is a CLINTON she according to the media and the conservatives she still should stay in the race because there is a perception that you can't count them out.

1. Why would anyone call on someone else to leave the race?
Honestly, I support Clinton and when she was leading, I never called for (or would dream of calling for) Obama to leave the race. Heck, I was an Edwards supporter, and I didn't want him to leave the race.

3. She's never actually led, though
fun fact: on no day of the 2008 primary season has Clinton had more pledged delegates than Obama.

9. And I hate some more than others.
Which is why I support the candidate who can probably beat the Republicans in November over the one who can't win a primary contest despite huge advantages in name recognition and fundraising.

12. Oh no I'm sorry I was talking about the real Spider Jerusalem
Well he isn't real at all is he?

Yeah The Real Spider Jerusalem hates all politicians, every last one of them. He favors none of them.

He do you remember the Spider Jerusalem story where he went to war with the president...The Smiler? Yeah you remember the tale of Smiler. The guy with the big smile and no history, right? Yeah The Smiler.

On a related note...amn Obama has a great smile doesn't he?

17. lucky you


you got plenty of story still to read. Transmetropolitan was the greatest piece of graphic art literature to close out the 20th century and crap out the 21st. I love that damn series.

2. Except that Clinton has slightly less than 50% of the votes and Obama slightly more.
Funny how some overlook this.

Funny.

19. Delegates
And she's getting creamed on delegates and will need to win out at a 65%+ clip just to enter the convention with a tiny lead.

Funny how some, especially the MSM, continue to overlook this.

4. The 26 contests Obama has won dont matter.
The 12 that Hillary won are the only ones that do.

18. Yup and the goal posts just keep on moving until the MSM can...
get the sheep to fall in line or until we can get some diebold machines to help out a little. Dont worry, it will be close like when bush stole it, that way everyone believes it was a real win.

6. I don't understand why so many people see it like that.
And I'm pretty good at the math.

11. That's Very True, but Clinton had the benefit of Recognition -- it is now her Weakness (Balances out
The clinton name when u heard in the news was that they had alot backing it and so the media gave them a chance...but on the other side her name is what also hurt her in ways ... he had the benefit of the underdog status....

so yes, if it were not for Clinton's name that 11-state losing streak would have had any other candidate out (own will, or by force).

13. True. And he wouldn't have the gracelessness to prolong his
supporters grieving period. I still can't believe HRC is doing this to her supporters. x(
