Carter sees superdelegates prompting Clinton to quit

1 hour, 54 minutes ago

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said on Sunday he expects Democratic superdelegates to reveal their choice for presidential nominee soon after the final primary in June and that Hillary Clinton will then have to quit the race.

In an interview with Sky News, Carter said he did not think Clinton was achieving anything by staying in the fight.

"I think not. But of course she has the perfect right to do so," he said while attending a literary festival in Britain.

"I'm a superdelegate ... I think a lot of the superdelegates will make a decision quite, announced quite rapidly, after the final primary on June 3," he told Sky News.

"I have not yet announced publicly, but I think at that point it will be time for her to give it up," Carter said.

No surprise Carter is in Obama’s camp. Obama would be an ever worse President then he was finally getting Jimmy off the list as the Worst President ever.

He did, he 'gave it up' to the Iranians, to the Sandinistas, to the Palestinians, to the North Koreans, to Hamas, to Castro, to Chavez, hey: you name the enemy of the United States, the odds are that Jimmy STP Carter has been happy to bend over and "give up that booty" to 'em.

Why should she quit?
Someone could just come along and pop a cap into Obama - she said as much herself.

"I have not yet announced publicly... " Carter said.

He's waiting until Syria and Hezbollah announces first...

You left out "hope". Hope is a very important part of "change and hope". They go together like soup and sandwich or horse and carriage.

See?

Meet the Press: Got the impression that Obama WILL take Hillary as VP....but only because it will help him win the Presidency.

But will it? No one knows how many anti-Hillary votes were cast for Obama. Buyer beware!!

Obama mentioned being a Lincoln fan (Duh)...and someone said Lincoln took in all his opponents as Cabinet Members.
