Hillary Clinton should pull out of the Democratic race if she fails to win Ohio and Texas.
Charles Guiteau said 03/03, 11:13 PM
Prominent Democrats are publicly calling for her to get out of the race if she does not do well, and her own husband has said she must win both to survive (though the campaign has of late been saying that Clinton has to win just one of the two big states). But if she can pull it out, she gets what her own advisers describe as a chance to "reboot" her foundering campaign -- and six weeks before the next big contest in Pennsylvania, in which she can try to regain the momentum that once made her look unstoppable for the Democratic nomination.

Hillary Should Stay in race at all costs We all know there are Rats in her own party that want her out .Like Kerry Kennedy Rich fart Rockafeller These names are all has beens that should be the ones to go.There old news and Hillary would be good news and there scare tactics mean nothing and Obama is surrounding himself with the lowest democrates in the party.and the best democrats are waiting to see if Hillary can pull it off before they commit to her.So she must fight on because there is still strong support for her and these are the people thay work for a living and not looking for a hand out like the Obama supporters

Florida should count. Both candidates were on the ballot and followed the no campaigning rules, though Obama did slip a little on that rule. The decision to not count the votes was an after thought and not in the original rules. Were Florida to count we wouldn't be talking about if she should drop out or not, because it would be a much tighter race like the voters have actually decided.

The real race for the presidency is between Hillary and Barak. Hillary has 1269 delegates. Barak has 1378 delegates. McCain has 1047 delegates. McCain is running almost unopposed and does not have close to as many delegates as either Hillary or Barak. He should have much more than the other two. The president will be a democrat. Hillary should stay in the race till the very end. To say she should give up if she looses one of these states is just the talk of people who are afraid she will beat Barak. The only way she will loose is if she gives up!

Hillary is hurting the democratic party by staying in the race. If anyone else (but a Clinton) had lost 11 primary/caucus's in a row, was behind in delegates and popular votes, and had a failing campaign with lagging momentum, they would have conceded by now. Hillary's attacks and tactics are hurting the chances for a democrat to win in November, as pointed out by a recent clip on CNN (search "Your More Fears" on YouTube to find it). She needs to quit and throw her energy into unifying the party.

Why would Obama concede when he will still have the majority of the delegates at the end of the night?

That just shows how flawed our system is. She is ahead in the popular vote, but he keeps winning the caucuses. She has every reason to stay in. She has more votes.

I think the real question should be, "If the situation was reversed, would Barack Obama continue to run against Hillary Clinton after winning so many consecutive contests?" I'd say no. What the Clintons and everyone determined to derail the progress of an obviously extraordinary man is that before the needs of any individual candidate, the needs of the party should come first. A Clinton victory or an Obama victory would be meaningless if either candidate has been battered so much by the other that they become easy prey in the general election. If Clinton fails to win then she should absolutely, gracefully, step down and join in to aid Obama in defeating McCain. Her support would secure what could be a landslide victory against McCain. In Obama's administration she would not be forgotten, and her dogged determination would serve the country better as Attorney General, Secretary of State or Senate Majority Leader. We cannot afford another close contest with the Republicans. We need a united Democratic Party if we want things to change.
