For Clinton, quitting is not an option

Screaming tabloid headlines have declared her campaign "Over!" and calls for her withdrawal from the race are mounting, but Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - despite lackluster primary results this week - has put out her own steely message: She's not going anywhere.

"I'm staying in this race until there's a nominee, and, obviously, I am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee," the New York senator said at a Shepherdstown, W.Va., news conference today. "I believe that I'm the stronger candidate against Sen. McCain. And I believe I would be the best president among the three of us running. So we will continue to contest these elections and move forward."

In the aftermath of a momentum-sapping week that appeared to turn the tide in her 18-month battle against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton acknowledged that she will need some hefty assists to keep her hopes for the White House alive: more campaign cash; more support from critical, uncommitted superdelegates; more wins in the primaries ahead; and a favorable resolution on seating contested delegates from Florida and Michigan.

Averell "Ace" Smith, who ran Clinton's campaign in North Carolina - she was defeated by double digits there Tuesday - said today that for Clinton, quitting is not an option.

"People expect her to battle on. . . .

When they were in office, they had no home in Arkansas. Their home was at the Governors mansion for ? years, the all expenses paid home. When they were in the White house, remember how they would always take their vacations up at Martha's vineyard or some other extravagant place in a friends house. Free vacation rental for the Clintons. They probably demanded there be a cook and food included, not to say anything about the utilities and booze.

I don't have and never will have any respect for her or her husband. They are vile and harbor illusions of grandeur and want to grab as much power over us as the Constitution allows and if that doesn't give them the authority the rule of law doesn't impede their reckless and ruthless obsession with complete control over the American people.

They have a egregious and capriciously wilfull track record of negligence and scandal and much of it is because of her reckless disregard for anything other than reaching their obsessed dreams of ultimate power.

"Barrack Hussein Obama can't garner enough delegates to win the nomination, and no one is talking about that side of the equation. Until one of the two gets enough delegates, they should both stay in the race and let Operation Chaos continue!!!! Denver is going to be fun to watch. Folks in Colorado should get ready for a redux of '68."

There is a reality here, "Hussein Obama can't close the deal even with most of the left wing mediots happily in bed with him."

$inator $hrill is like the Ever Ready Pit Bull with lipstick and dyed blonde hair crossed with the old Timex watch. She just keep on snarling, growling, biting and ticking along the campaign trail.

Why has she been so easy on him?
Why hasn’t she hit him with all the stuff we on this board know about him?
