I just want to hear from people why they think Hillary should leave the presidential nomination race? I'm really interested to see people's reasons? I personally see no discernible reason short of straight-out irrationality, so I need someone to clarify?

I think the only way for any of the candidates to save their souls is seppuku, but then again that's just me. Seriously though... seppuku

hahaha :p Although, not sure how much you've been tuned in to any other presidential race, but I still don't see anything different this year... I think people are so shocked by the "integrity" of either candidate or their tactics (this goes for both of them), simply because they can and are paying more attention to it (blogs, free press, Youtube)... Otherwise, I see nothing different between this race and any race that has gone on... If anything, they're more careful now and just get caught saying or doing something 1% of the time that sucks lol...

It has nothing to do with the personality of either candidate, merely the mathematic inevitability of Obama as the nominee. Hillary can claim she's the "better" candidate, but at this point it's too late for that. She can't win. So it's time to face the music and get behind the party so they can begin to fight against the GOP machine as a united front.
That said, I've written multiple times that there are good reasons for Hillary to stay in the race - not least of which is the infrastructure primaries in Pennsylvania and North Carolina build that can be used for when Obama does finally emerge as the uncontested nominee.

They've all been bought and sold for quite some time now. As to your question I've only really followed Presidential races since the 2000 election, so this is my third, but that doesn't mean I have absolutely no knowledge about history.
I was however making a Bill Hicks allusion with a twist.

plain and simple, because she's a power hungery kuunt with bad ideas and nobody likes her. The only reason people vote for her is because they think she's going to make all of their welfare dreams come true.
As proof, I offer you this god-awful, completely shameful piece of marketing .

1. It is mathematically certain that she cannot win, barring the biggest swing in voting in the history of the planet.
2. The longer she "fights" the more ammo she later gives the Republicans, making it more difficult for Obama to become elected.
3. With every "misspeak" she presents herself as even more dishonest, disgenuine, ego-centric and ungraceful in losing.
So, due to math, the benefit to her party and the benefit to whatever image she has left, she needs to stop.
...my opinion.

She can't win the nomination unless the vast majority of superdelegates back her. She is the most power-hungry person in Washington right now and would rather see the democratic party destroyed than lose this nomination. She is causing a civil war within the democratic party and is making a Mccain presidency much more likely by staying in the race.

...Yet just about ever Democrat you say this to will try to debate and deny it is true for whatever reason.

The thing you guys are missing, and the point of my thread is that, mathematically, Obama can't win the nomination either... This is what boggles my mind, when people say "She can't win the nomination." He can't either! They're neck and neck by any standard other than "Oh he's my candidate and he's the right candidate."

Obama's been a Senator for a little over 2 years and the thought came to him, "Hmmm I should be president." They're both power-hungry my friend. Anybody who thinks they can be the president and run this country is power-hungry, and both of them are NO different in this respect.

The irony is that this is the Democratic party. There is a lack of democracy when Obama supporters shout "She should drop out!"... They're absolutely neck-and-neck! Because she's still giving YOUR candidate a run for his money doesn't mean she's breaking up the Democratic Party. Like I said in an earlier thread she has in fact won the most Democratic votes in this primary than any primary in history,, it's clear who is the candidate that more Democrats want. She has won most of the Democrat strongholds, while Obama has won in states that can't possibly go to us in November. I don't see where the Civil War is.
