   Clinton has to win big in Pennsylvania. If Obama comes close, she’ll probably drop out shortly after the results are announced. And rightfully so. If she wants to continue her candidacy, she’s got to beat Obama by a wide margin.

   I doubt it. She’ll just move the goalposts again, to Indiana probably. Mind you, though the polls are at 6%, I think she’ll win PA by a wider margin than that. It won’t be a blowout to be sure, but it will be a clear lead. Anywhere between 10-15% though 15 is probably too much. Not enough to make huge inroads into his popular vote lead, and virtually worthless against his delegate lead.

   She won’t drop out. The last thing coming from her campaign is that Obama has to win in PA and win big to gain the benefit of doubt that he could win the nomination. Leave it to the Clintons…

   You’d have to drag Hillary kicking and screaming out of the convention.  That womans has major issues!

   I have to agree with Claudia, lets not delude ourselves into thinking Clinton is capable of having anyone’s interests at mind than her own.

   Leadership and taxes

   “It’s important to have core principles and values, but if you’re going to be active in policy and politics, you have to be a realist.” —Hillary Clinton
   “We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re going to cut short and not give it to you. We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.” —Hillary Clinton, in a 2004 fundraising speech to wealthy liberals in San Francisco

   Bipartisanship and reaching across the isle

   “I believe in evil, and I think that there are evil people in the world.” —Hillary Clinton, in 1993, stating her opinion not of the terrorists who had just bombed the World Trade Center for the first time in 1993, but of those who opposed her health care reform plan  “You have got to hand it to them, these people are ruthless and they are relentless.” —Sen. Hillary Clinton, just a few months after 9/11, giving her opinion of Republicans Health care  “We just can’t trust the American people to make these types of decisions. …Government has to make these choices for people.” —Hillary Clinton circa 1993, speaking to Rep. Dennis Hastert on the issue of who should control the allocation of money in her health care reform plan
   “We can’t afford to have that money go to the private sector. The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better than the private sector will spend it.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1993, regarding health care reform
   Free speech

   “We’re all going to have to rethink how we deal with the Internet. As exciting as these new developments are, there are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gate-keeping function.” —First Lady Hillary Clinton, in 1998, days after the Monica Lewinsky story was reported
   Blaming America

   “I pledge allegiance to the America that can be.” —Hillary Clinton, reluctant to say the Pledge of Allegiance, according to Chris Matthews
   “The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation.” —Hillary Clinton
   Imagination

   “The fact of the matter is, I’ve always been a Yankees fan.” —Senate candidate Hillary Clinton, soon after launching her campaign in 1999, and ignoring prior public statements about growing up as a Cubs fan in Chicago

   Very interesting article. In fact, it’s going to be better if the Democrats resolve this issue now because I see so many people getting bored with the whole thing. The question now is, who will be the final candidate that will represent the party? Read Breaking News, Politics and Election. Join the conversation http://empowertube.blogspot.com
