She’s gonna win Pennsylvania so the reasoning’s weak.
Asking a Clinton to quit is like asking a barracuda not to bite.
So, sounds like they’re scared she’s gonna win the popular vote and then what happens to their golden boy?
Actually, that might be the best money they’ve ever spent.
I’ll bet they want her to quit. That debate the other night showed their emperor has no clothes. They want things to get back to normal; i.e. against a Republican with the MSM on their side.
What’s the over/under on F-bombs at that meeting?
Do you think, that perhaps dean and company have figured out how much she would owe Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity if she was nominated?
Clinton has lost this. She didn’t take the early caucus states seriously and Obama got a leg up. Her strategy was flawed and now she’s paying.
I want to see her “pressurised”.
She should also ask that stupid black Marxist America hater to quit also.
One of Dean’s 25 (I think that’s what he called himself) was on chatting with the Friends this morning saying that he remains neutral and will decide on a candidate at the convention. So this means there will be a choice? He also said that Fla & Michigan needed to be seated and thought that they would be. So...it sounds like Mrs. C. is not dropping out, based on this.
I don’t know how to feel about this.
On the one hand, I HATE the idea of a possible Hillary presidency. Just the thought of the two of them again in the White House is deplorable.
On the other hand, the thought of Obama in any position of power is downright scary.
The GOP MUST win this one.
If not, and if the Dem were to actually win in November, I’m beginning to think Hillary would be the least harmful chief executive.
And that’s enough to bring on a migraine.
If she is talked into quitting, it will come at a high price. She’ll wait until the offer is high enough, then gracefully do the “right thing for the party and the country.” So, the question is, what carrot would entice her? SCOTUS? Cabinet? Senate Majority? Attorney General?
Either way, she’s not going anywhere. (my opinion, of course)
I almost feel sorry for the sacrificial goat that has to actually ask her.
From the article:
“New York, April 19: Apparently tired of bickering between presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Democratic Party leaders are likely to pressurise the former US first lady to withdraw if she performs badly in the crucial Pennsylvania primary on Tuesday, analysts say.”
I’d love to be the fly on the wall in THAT room!
Perhaps they’re going to strap her into a straight jacket before they make the request!

Obama is proving a lightweight candidate with far-left leanings, so the Dems want to stop the bleeding.
It all depends on how much dirt she's got on 'em.
I’ll be surprised if she quits. What’s the upside for her? She and Bill are loved or hated by everyone that matters already anyway. That won’t change anything. They can’t hurt or help her career if she loses or quits. And, once Obama is in her people are outta there, never to be seen again. I mean, can you see Lanny Davis on the Obama train?
There is nothing the DNC has to offer. To the Clinton Chinese Mafia, being President is worth $100 million in Graft. No other position offers those kind of bribes.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Hillary might be able to seize the White House through criminal and unethical practices, e.g. blackmail, stuffing ballot boxes, etc., and the Democrats are definitely not above such as this (or anything else, for that matter), but they are afraid of the Clintons and what the Clintons could and would do to them (to hell with the nation and the American people!) if sufficiently empowered.
The Democrats are in a quandry. They could go either way. It all depends on whether they're delusional enough to think Obama could win or intimidated enough to support Clinton.
They are looking for a way to nominate someone else--e.g. Gore, Kerry, et al.--but they can't think of any strategy that might work, considering the circumstances.
First, the discussion of encouraging Hillary to back out will lead to blood on the floor at the Dem meetings.
Secondly, if Hillary is "pressurised" to fold, refuses to fold, and then becomes the nominee, there will be "Hell to Pay" and once again have blood on the floor of those within the party who fought her. (I'm thinking Arkancide here.)
If she loses outright, the Clinton RICO Machine will crank up all kinds of havoc anyway and never really work for Barry's campaign. Can you imagine BillyJeff on the campaign trail with Barry?!?!?! I think not.
There will be no party left to unify. I think McCain will be sworn in.
