Wow, a push poll!
Expect few answers, at least not from people who recognize what a push poll is.

4. I expert her to do well in Ohio and Texas.
If she blows that, then she might not be able to recover and we will have to get used to a McCain administration. Sorry, but that's the way I see it happening.

5. No - ihe will not clinch the nomination
even if he gets 100% of Tuesday's delegates - which won't happen. She has every right to stay in until she either loses or wins.

7. Come on
As an Obama supporter I still think this isn't cool, an objective poll here would still probably favor him.

12. In your own words folks...

Now there is a question for Wolsh.

18. Actually Obama not sweeping the Potomac would be a pretty serious blow to him
Not enough to knock him out immediately, but very serious. It would mean Super Tuesday, rather than New Hampshire, was the abberation.

Should they drop out and not play till the end of the game?

21. We're far past halftime
If you want to use football analogies, its the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter.

17. how about this.
c'mon, what a loaded poll. Everyone knows he is gonna win everything until Ohio and Texas. Isnt a big secret. Maybe the question should be; If Obama sweeps all of states after Super Tuesday and has all the MOE but then looses Ohio and Texas and those 2 states alone give Clinton 75-85 more delegates than all the states Obama won in the month of Feb should Obama step down?

11. She, and every other candidate, should only drop out if and when...
...they feel their candidacy is no longer helpful to their party and nation.

It is a biased push-poll.

20. No reason to drop out, she is still a viable candidate
She can make up for this mess of little states with big wins in TX and OH.

If that doesn't happen, then the writing is on the wall.

Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 09:13 PM by DiamondJay
damn cultists can't even make polls that aren't so mean spirited. OBAMA IS NOT WINNING RIGHT NOW, GET IT IN YOUR HEADS. Or I guess this is just another sermon on the way to Jonestown. it is a CLOSE RACE. Why is she gonna throw away everything she worked for at this point?

34. Wolsh, you didn't bother to answer my question for you...
If Obama fails to sweep, should he drop out?

My hunch is that Obama, like Hillary, is in this to the end. We expect nothing else from these two candidates.

Neither is Gore. Neither is Kerry. On to the convention.

But Wolsh, do please, answer the question.

How is not sweeping the same as being swept?

33. No, there are still three big primaries to come.
However, if she loses Texas, Ohio, or Pennsylvania, then it's over and she should withdraw.

40. No good options in this poll.
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 09:28 PM by Malmo Blue
I personally will wait until the March 4 primaries to determine if Hillary survives or not.
If she loses Texas and/or Ohio... Stick a fork in her, she's done.

Until then, I think she's going to fight on. Didn't the latest primary polls suggest that she would win in Wisconsin?
(After Obama wins eight-nine states in a row, depending on Hawaii.)

41. I think she will be done for
but I also think your poll is not very good one
lets not offend Hillary supporters, I still think she will be great president, but I support Obama because I believe he will be an Extraordinary president
let us all unite behind our party
