Thought I would share some numbers here that relate to why the Clinton campaign continues and why the Reps want Obama nominated:

For states that have held primaries/caucuses for both parties so far:

Red States in 2004 with higher Dem turnouts account for 44 electors.
18 Clinton, 26 Obama

Blue States in 2004 with higher Dem turnouts account for 135 electors.
98 Clinton, 37 Obama

Blue Battleground States in 2004 with Higher Dem turnouts account for 74 electors.
36 Clinton, 38 Obama

Red Battleground States in 2004 with Higher Dem turnouts account for 82 electors.
42 Clinton, 40 Obama

Electoral totals so far:
194 Clinton, 141 Obama

Only 270 are needed to win in November so the states coming up with high electoral impact will matter in terms of electability.

Red state gains are small but Obama has won more. What we dont know is whether these are the states where Reps may be cross over voting to rig the primaries or not.

Blue states are holding and clearly the core is supporting Clinton. Battleground states appear to be a dead heat showing. Overall, Clinton is clearly more electable so far.

It is easy to see that Obama is easier to beat in Nov if he cant get the Dem party united to gain the support of the Dem core voters.

So far, he has failed to prove he is a uniter since currently there is a split party. (This actually matches his voting record of being the most liberal Senator and not reaching across party lines.)

What he succeeded in doing was expanding the electorate and wooing some Independents/Reps but the party remains 50/50 meaning he does not attract enough core voters to make a difference.

Obama does seem genuinely interested in serving America and seems to be be prepared to listen to anyone else and involve anyone else who is interested in the same thing.
Clinton still seems to expect to be given the job she thinks she deserves. "I'm tested. I'm ready. Let's make it happen." sounds like a demand on us to give her what she wants.
And Bill Clinton's line in Texas, "If you don't deliver for her then I don't think she can be [president]", is insultingly presumptuous.
Don't we all deserve someone who's prepared to serve rather than someone who believes they have a divine right to rule?

If Hillary loses either Texas or Ohio she needs to bow out gracefully for the betterment of the Democratic party. She would need to win both by a large margin to continue on. Hillary do the right thing, bow out on March 5th and let's concentrate on Obama & McMore-War. Obama 2008!

obama is causing trouble already for us in Canada I will not vote for that idiot He is so criminal and a very inexperienced politian who only cares for himself and his muslem gangster friend reisko

Hillary Clinton has the strength and the vision to stay on in this race as long as she wants. She has the future of the United States at heart and is not going into all this trouble for herself. She knows that America needs her Vision and her ability to revive the economic strength of the United States. She believes in fiscal responsibilty and we will be back on track as a nation with a surplus. Please support Hillary, the president who will lead us with a plan. Besides she will have the support and the advice of Bill Clinton who is not short of ideas himself.

Karadasia...lot of people are telling Huckabee to get out of it so i am not sure what you are talking about...and Huckabee's ongoing battle isn't a threat to the stability of their party like Hillary's campaign is. Huckabee also isn't attacking McCain like Hillary is attacking Obama.

Sad very sad...but I agree with you on one point there may be a bias because she is a woman... only I am afraid that bias has worked both against and for her... Drawing associations of sexist or racist issues when they are not ...only hurts the real sexist and racist issues.

When you throw that issue out there make sure it is at the right behavior or cultural effect.

The Convention is not scheduled until later this summer. What is everyone worried about? I would be more worried about all the Democrats not getting their voices heard-that is a recipe for splitting the Party wide open. Superdelegates should wait until the Convention to have their say, wasn't that the wisdom of the plan? Hillary led for the longest time, now with the help of the self-injected race card, the media bias, and packing his young fans into the caucuses, he is ahead. Let the voters be heard!

"go on a lot while longer"?
What? Is this the intelligence that
Hillary's supporters are always talking about? Duh!

I wonder if Obama would think of bowing out of the race if he loses OH and TX. These are hypotheticals just like the polling numbers. Let the voters have their say based on the issues instead of the media spinning tales to change the outcome.

Georgia...

I am pretty sure having seen Barack in many speaking situations over the past year (I live in NH and have gone to see all of them speak numerous times) would put the party before his campaign (he has doe that in several occasions when he has spoken to his own campaign websites telling people to fight the good fight instead of the dirty one) ... and if Hillary was in Obama's shoes... just put yourself there for a minute... with all of the press attention she has gotten (yet says the press is biased toward her)...

You think that you would argue that same point that all the votes should go through before a, may I say, "nasty" debate should go on...you really think that is worse than letting all this vitriol go back and forth...

It is for that kind of thinking that we need a change in political figures.

If I recall correctly, Bill Clinton did not secure his nomination until June.

Looks like Hillary will have to settle for August, unless the Rezko trial dictates something sooner.

The reality still remains that Hillary cannot get to the White House without Obama supporters and a sizable portion of them is just not going there. All that Canadian memo, Rezko, flag pin, Muslim middle name business simple sealed that deal.

Or, Obama could go ahead and quit. He doesn't have enough votes to win the nomination because half the country voted for Hillary. If you and the other Obama supporters are so serious about uniting the party, then urge him to quit and unite behind Hillary. Hillary doesn't have the votes you say? Neither does Obama. When half the country doesn't want your candidate, why should it be my candidate that quits the race?
