It's time for Obama to drop out of the race
Since so many well wishing Obama long knives have been snipping and whining for the last year it's time for a reality check.
Obama has either dismissed or found irrelevant the middle class, single women over 40 all baby boomers and the elderly. Which leaves him a loser in November. For the sake of the party and winning the white house he should withdraw.
FYI: If I were in a church for 20 years, I would not have played the ignorant card Obama has played. See no evil speak no evil hear no evil? Ya right...no one believes this guy.

She doesn't have 17 million, Obama does :)
Caucuses are meetings held statewide in high schools and town halls and are open to all registered voters of the party. In some caucuses, like Iowa's, independent voters are allowed to participate as well.
Rules for caucuses vary state by state and party by party, but generally the voters divide themselves up into groups according to the candidate they support, and the undecided voters also gather in a group and prepare to be swayed by the groups that have a preferred candidate. Representatives of each group then give speeches in hopes of persuading others to join their group.
At the end of the process, the number of voters in each group is counted to determine how many delegates will represent each candidate at the county convention, and then the state convention, at which delegates are chosen to attend the party's national convention.
The whole process takes several hours, and because of the time commitment required, fewer voters typically participate in caucuses than primaries. The shift from caucuses to primaries began in 1968 with the McGovern-Fraser Commission, which was created in response to the chaos and rioting that happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.
In other words, thet are old school and not as democratic as primaries.

the problem is that some are stuck on this one track of ride with my candidate or die think - that benefits no one.
the solution is to find the median - and get everyone moving in that direction.
bashing doesn't help and postings about protesting or abstaining in a hope to over throw the democratic party come November is just not needed.
Every other day for the last 3 months he writes a blog about how idiotic obama supporters are and that he cant win.
he is the loudest HRC supporter here and people either love or hate the guy. I never see one Hillary person try to put him in check. Ever.
I constantly tell my fellow Obama supporters to ease up. They USUALLY listen. There is no self-regulation of H-Camp here. For you to think this is an Obama site--then you have your horse-blinders on and need to take them off.
What are you trying to accomplish? Surely you don't for one minute believe that you are making sense by demanding "Barack should drop out"?
When I said, HRC should drop out back in Feburary because a potential disaster is on the horizon, everyone told me to relax and let the process finish.
So that is where we are - coming up to the finish of a process that we started and encouraged.
No one is leaving or dropping out so you may as well get past that.
HRC does have a forum website - that you can go to and voice concerns such as your without a confrontation.
or is it that you just want to be confrontational and start a pointless discussion with those that oppose your candidate and have no intention of changing their minds simply based on what you say?

I am proud to be a liberal, and I will call centerist what they are--petty tyrants of what is best for me and all those who are willing to conform with me. It is truly sad that so many like you believe that "majority rule" is the same as "common good for all."
Really, even with bad old Devil Obama. You jerk, you contradict yourself.
Go back and re-read Carl Roves squawking points and try to get it right this time, or your out of the Republican Fifth Column for good.
"Obama has either dismissed or found irrelevant..."
How could he know that if he wasn't omniscient or a mind reader??!
WOW!! I'm impressed! Sir, come near that I may kiss your feet and be blessed.
N O T!
Yeah, I'll bet you're a Yankees fan, too. When it comes down the stretch in September, let's ask them to quit playing the rest of their schedule even though they're ahead by 20 games. That would surely be right, wouldn't it? It would make every bit as much sense as Obama dropping out EVER!

The reality is that we play by the rules of the DNC. By those rules, Obama is well ahead of Hillary. If you don't like the rules, you work to change them before the next election, but cannot change them in the middle of the game.
I want to make a note that I don't believe the comments of some Clinton supporters are the opinion all of them. Most, I would say, are logical, intelligent people.
They understand and respect the opinions of others. They realize Obama supporters made their decision after careful thought.
I for one, was an Edwards supporter because I most identified with his views. I switched to Obama after hearing his views, seeing his record and how he reacts under pressure. I like the organization of his campaign and the people he surrounds himself with.
I am not a Hillary supporter because I disagree with her vote on Iraq, vote on Iran and many of her comments, including to obliterate Iran.
Am I worried that Barack is just another politician that won't live up to his words? Of course. But I am more worried that Hillary will live up to hers.
I am more worried about McCain. I am worried for this country if it continues to go in the same direction.
I am an Obama supporter because I feel it is time for a change. Clinton, by the way she runs her campaign, doesn't seem to reflect change. Just more of the same.
