Stop telling Hillary to quit the race!

The far left-wing party bosses in the Democratic party should stop telling Hillary Clinton to quit the race. The arguments the Obama supporters use to urge her to quit are weak. Obama leads the delegate vote by only about 3.5% of total delegates and the popular vote by only about 2.5% of total voters in primaries and caucuses so far. The number of states won is meaningless. This small lead with so many contests left is certainly no mandate and is not insurmountable.

How can the party that worked so hard to get everyone the vote now tell people that they don't want them to have the chance to vote? This is the pinnacle of hypocrisy. It is undemocratic and it is unAmerican. Is it any wonder that many moderates don't trust the left?

The Democrats made the rules for this primary season. Now they should allow everyone to play by the rules and let it all play out.

The argument that the continuing Democratic primary race benefits John McCain is baseless rhetoric. It is more likely that it will benefit Democrats if for no other reason than it is more interesting and newsworthy than anything John McCain has to say at this time. When the Democrats choose a nominee the party rank and file will support that person just like the Republicans fell in line behind McCain.

How the Democrats should pick their nominee

The Democrats should put Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in a cage together and see who comes out. Obama has the reach, of course. But Hillary Clinton is built like a fireplug. And Obama has those skinny legs. He probably brawls like he bowls. I think she could take him.
