Auburn85 432 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 peacefully or ... what? is that a threat? yeah, she should drop out. if she wants to make the least noise about having to finally bow out of the race and admit defeat, she should make her withdrawal speech late afternoon on friday.

Justin5 20 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I would be okay with Clinton staying in as long as she keeps her attacks all at McCain. Having her around keeps the media following the democrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,492 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Turn out the lights.... Sources: Most uncommitted senators to endorse Obama Most of the seventeen Democratic senators who have remained uncommitted throughout the primaries will endorse Barack Obama for president this week, CNN has learned. Sources familiar with discussions between Obama supporters and these senators tell CNN’s Gloria Borger that the senators will wait until after the South Dakota and Montana primaries to announce their support for Obama. Two sources familiar with the sessions said the endorsements will come sometime later this week. Obama supporters have been “pressing†for these superdelegates to endorse earlier in the week, but according to one source, “the senators don’t want to pound Hillary Clinton, and there is a sense she should be given a grace period.†A series of meetings on the topic have been facilitated at different times by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin. Durbin and Daschle are Obama supporters, while Harkin is uncommitted. According to CNN’s Candy Crowley, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will remain uncommitted until Clinton officially drops out of the race. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
