Senator Hillary Clinton will hold a town hall meeting at a local high school here in Lorain County, Ohio tomorrow and the question on everyone's mind is "Can she win The Buckeye State's primary next week?
Even her pugilistic partner, ex-President Clinton has said that the Ohio and Texas primaries qualify as do-or-die showings for the New York Senator. She has lost 11-12 straight contests to Senator Barack Obama who obviously comes into the Buckeye State and Lone Star State Primaries with some major, big-time "Big Mo" (as in Big Momentum).
The delegate math is starting to prove daunting as each day passes.
When should Hillary Clinton consider throwing in the towel? There comes a time in every good fight when a fighter can no longer conceivably continue.
Should Senator Clinton start preparing a gracious exit speech in the event she does not with either the Ohio or Texas primaries next week?

The media loves Obama, and four years ago they loved Kerry.
Looks like the Democrats didn't learn from the last defeat. They are too busy finding pretty pictures of their pretty boys.
And really Hillary, if you are serious about being the first woman in the office of the President, you need to at least show you support the causes that EFFECT women, in this country. (That is, if you want our vote) It's not enough to say - "Vote for me, because I'm a woman". You've got to show you know what that MEANS!
Cutting benefits to fatherless children, (and their single mothers), and opting to stay with an adulterous husband, because you apparently don't believe a woman can 'make it' on her own, (therefore she HAS to put up with slime like that), AIN'T the way to prove it!
GT
It is Denver or bust for the Hilldebeast!
Now what should she do?
Poor me. I've got to leave and go earn a frickin' living.
Later, Rocco!
Once again the Democrats will lose the presidency especially now that Nader is back. Too bad.
I also think that people should see Clinton as her own person. Forget about her husband, or if you'd rather include him every time you utter the name you should comment about Michelle Obama too. I don't care for her at all.
That should be clear from the primary results.
If she actually cared about the Democratic party, she'd throw in the towel at some point, so that the infighting would cease and there'd be more time for her fangirls to get used to Obama prior to Elections.
However, if she did stay in the race, and somehow won, she'd be much easier to beat during the elections.
Her campaign: I'm a woman
Obama: I bring you hope and change!
A quick look at several polls, Clinton leads Obama in Ohio by an average of only 8 points.
Can we say RIOT?
I don't think the ave. person knows what she is pepared to do in terms of tearing her party and the country apart to get this nomination.
She should quit now since sooner isn't an option. I understand that no one in our rank and file would be willing to tell her so, so if someone would forward me a phone number that would get me past the bowing and scraping minions, I will phone straight away before she (or her staffers) does anything else to embarrass herself, her party or her campaign. If she cares as much as she tearfully suggested about her country, she should recognize that her ongoing fight and putting down of Obama is going to tear the dems apart. Not good for the country at all.
However, I doubt she will notice nor do I think she cares about anyone or anything other than her own ego.
But then again, this is a country of ignorants, and they're the ones who get persuaded by "sweet talkers" like Barack Obama, so he'll most likely win.
She already gave it, no need to prepare. Her concession speech, whether she knew it or not, was the first "crying session" in Iowa, after her first loss.
Girly Comments & Graphics
jJack: Insightful as always! You are a pundit's pundit! Rock on, man!!!
April: Good clarification. Thank you. :)
Billie: THank you for your always kind words! :)
Douglas: Eew, gross!
Nancy: You are too much, girl! :)
She should not give up anytime soon.She is not that far behind in delegates and still has the support of a lot of superdelegates,so she could still turn this around.
The Democratic debates have been love ins for both candidates. It needs to get shook out and find out if he can respond well and take the dirty tricks.
Obama is qualified but can he stand up to the rigors and win? He has more Washington experience than Abraham Lincoln had!
I remember campaigns going back to 1952 and can assure you that the Democratic party has a long, traditional history of undermining one another's campaigns! And then, uniting after the candidate has been chosen. This is certainly nothing new.
You have to admit that Obama's experience is most closely linked to that of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had two years congressional experience, Obama has three, sort of. This last year has been mostly campaigning. Lincoln presided over one of the toughest times in the history of this nation, and held the nation together.
I can't say how great a president Obama would or would not be as, like Lincoln, he is an unknown. History will tell.
I've said before that whether it is Obama or Hillary, if they win the election, the secret service needs to double it's size as there most probably will be an attempt on the president's life.
Come right down to it, the presidency is a very high risk occupation. Out of the number we have had, look at how many have died in office with at least three of them being murdered!
I just see Obama as being way to green for this position. He's way out of his depth; nothing he has said in debates or speeches has swayed me from this position.
What can I say, bro'?
2016=68
Hillary won't run at age 68, my goodness she's uglier than sin now, you gonna put 8 more years on that face? Cripe! Her ass will be 5x the size it is now...geez!
I agree somewhat that comparisons are not necessarily of any benefit but they are inevitable. I only make them when someone says that a candidate who is thirty five years of age and an American born citizen is "unqualified." They are not.
BTW, no apology necessary for your previous comment!
I agree that Obama is no JFK or Lincoln. However, he might turn out to be much better than JFK, or, by some miracle, better than Lincoln. He is an unknown at this point. And he's no Dan Quayle either, thank goodness.
Concerning your assessment of Hillary's looks, mortals who abide in vitreous edifices should not harbor morbid pretensions of antidisestablishmenterionism!
Kay: Politics is a contact sport. :)
I'm afraid what you see/hear is what you get, and that is a very radical, secular-progressive Senator who is doing a lot of talking about what he feels others have done to mess things up, but has no track record of his own accomplishments that would give us ANY reason to believe he could do a better job. In short, he has not filled out his suit. Obama is a big-talker.
