A Million
POPULAR VOTE IN TEXAS:
Clinton: 1,000,849
Obama: 953,855

53% reporting

for any democrat to browbeat a candidate to quit when they're drawing a million+ votes in one state is ridiculous.

1. Thank you..
This is exactly what I said in another thread and got lambasted for it. She has the supporters so she must go on.

2. Incredible.
Turnout on the side of the Democrats is the one thing that gives me hope that we will not have another Republican idiot in office. A Democrat has to win. I absolutely will not live another 4-8 years under Republican rule.

3. Yes, she should stay in
It would be ridiculous for her to drop. Nearly half the Dem's want her over Obama.

5. Good News/Bad News
Good News:

Hillary 1,010,578
Obama 960,496
McCain 571,444
Huckabee 402,706

As a party, we beat them almost 2-1 overall

However, I don't know how skewed this is by Republican-for-a-day voters, the Rush-told-us-to-vote-for-Clinton wingnuts, and other assorted chicanery.

7. Time will tell....
with the math SQUARELY against her, and an almost impossible road to the nomination.....

it's far more likely that she would harm the party than she would become the nominee

if she destroys obama so much during the primary that he is unable to win the GE, the party will not forgive her. time will tell whether this is a good idea. i think right now, she will continue into Wyoming and Mississippi, but we're starting to get into a very serious time and people are not excited to see democrats destroying each other.

this election was given to our party on a silver platter. an unbelievably low approval rating for an unpopular republican president, a republican nominee that does not have the support of his party, and a population who is yearning for change.....if we lose this, if hillary aids the republicans by destroying obamas credibility so much, it will be a damned shame.

just remember, the math is squarely against her. i just don't understand how she intends to win the nomination....
