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.

Former President Jimmy Carter, a Democratic superdelegate, hinted Thursday he's backing Sen. Barack Obama.

"My children and their spouses are pro-Obama. My grandchildren are also pro-Obama," Carter told a Nigerian newspaper on a trip to Abuja. "As a superdelegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for, but I leave you to make that guess."

[television is just wrong]

why should she quit. this is her lifes dream
all the republicans I liked immediately left the race when they found they were not winning

I think the only one left in the republican race is ron paul, and of course McCain.

why does she have to step down.

it makes the race more interesting to have more than one candidate running in each party.

Can anyone get Carter to shut up?

Funny coming from Carter. Carter, the George Washington of the Islamic revolution in Iran, got spanked in 1980, but still thinks he has a mandate to direct foriegn policy.
