Should Hillary call it quits?
With a split decision on Tuesday — a win in Indiana and a loss in North Carolina — Sen. Hillary Clinton didn't get the kind of race-changing momentum she needed.
Her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, said he's now within less than 200 delegates of getting the nomination. And political pundits on Web site such as politico.com say Clinton is supporting "new math" in her quest to get enough delegates.
I’ll be checking in with party officials and political scientists in Maine to see what they think. The Maine Democratic Party State Convention is at the end of the month, and whether there are one or two nominees left in the race could make a big difference.
So, is it time for Clinton to drop out?
The black racism in the North Carolina win cannot triumph over the nomination process. The Indiana win of a mere 9 counties by Obama out of more than 100 counties cannot triumph over the nomination process. Florida and Michigan must be counted; the remaining states must vote; and the superdelegates must use their independent judgment to select the best qualified candidate for the presidency and that is Hillary Clinton. The fight for the future of America continues full speed ahead. Rational Democrats need to step up to the plate and make frequent contributions to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Please, speaking of "black racism", don't tell me that folks like you have not used "white racism" a a subtext for supporting Hillary. It's obvious that you cannot see the vast difference between a 60ish political insider bent on obtaining a nomination that she formerly thought was her right to a 40ish, relatively new to the game, politician that, more than any other candidate truly represents what America now is: a multicultural and "browning". Obama's mixed heritage, his lower middle class origins and his smarts far outshine those of Hillary. He represents what American truly is, not what you want it to be. Accept the change and get on with it. Please!

I truly believe that Obama is the best candidate to lead our country. I am a white single mom, a republican, and a Hoosier. I voted for Obama, meaning for the first time in the 15 or so years I've been able to vote, I had to say "Democrat" to vote. Most of my friends feel the same way, so he is able to bring many republicans over. If it is a Clinton-McCain November, I will vote for McCain, because I don't see much difference between the two other than the R or D. They are both mean, surly, spiteful and vindictive. At least Obama offers hope and class. AND yes, I agree with REALIST, Obama does represent what America truly is.

Crossing party lines does not bring about a change unless the heart is involved and totally committed to the people and their needs. Not juest their WANTS.Our country is in a serious mess. The Balm in Gilad was nothing compared to the Balm in the Media that makes the Decisions for the American People.
