Should Clinton or Obama drop out?

Heading into today’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana presidential primaries, a Gallup-USA Today poll found that 6 in 10 Democrats say Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should continue their presidential campaigns.

Of the minority who would like to see either Clinton or Obama drop out and concede the nomination, more call for Clinton to step down than Obama, Gallup reports

If the two candidates split the states tonight (Obama has already been projected as winner in North Carolina), should one of them drop out? Or do you want to see the contest continue between the two?

I think the AJC should drop out but since that isn’t the question allow me to answer that neither of them should go just yet.

Hang in their Bruno, hang in there until the brutal, disgusting end; be sure to slash and burn and rip and tear, you deserve it cause your hubby is a lush, so fight on, fight like a pig would.

You can do it!

Yes we can!

The characteristics of the leaders: Trust, honest, loyal, etc. Obama cannot be trusted. He lied about the message he received from his own church that he has gone to for almost twenty years. I have been going to church for so many years and I know the message of my church leaders. He is not hones to the American people when he came out and denounced his pastor. He did it because of political gain that he is running for. He is not loyal to his own church or pastor. He does not have a characteristics of a leader. He should be out. Not to mention, he is against of new vote in Michigan and in Florida where he is lost. America needs the people who are fair and trustworthy, honest and loyal and Obama is not. He should be out.

You are mistaken, Obama did not lie about his FORMER minister. If you do not like Obama, state that, but do not say that he is dishonest. He is not the candidate who lied about a mere trip to Afkanistan, he is not the candidate who states she has 35 years experience but was the first lady 15 years ago, decided to move to New York to run for Senator, had to live in New York for 1 year before she could run for office, at best she has been in congress for 5 years. He is not the candidate who copied ideas from McCain, and just last night, she changed what she stood for again and stated almost verbatim the ideas Obama stands for.

Hillary should just drop it. She’s wasting time & money. About 6 months ago, I gave her the benefit of the doubt (not to win, but as to whether or not she should run),since I didn’t know much about her campaign. Now I am CONFIDENT that Barack Obama is the man for the job! He is qualified, dignified, knowledgeable, honest, and gives America hope that we’ve been missing for too long. He knows it takes ALL of us instead of making empty promises all while maintaining his integrity. Hillary is a loud mouth, hateful woman and her daughter is following close behind. Bill’s time is over & she needs to follow him and go sit down.

I’d shut my pie hole if I was on watch during the worst leadership period in this great country’s existence.

She has a lot of cods for staying in the race. Us right wing folk will come out out the woods to give McCain the win in Nov. I am convenced of that.

Billary should drop out! I cannot stand them liers and cheaters. They will bring the country down further, and will do more corruption and dirt all in the name of justice and good politics. Leave Hilary leave…Now!

I’m a Democrat but if Obama wins the nomination I’ll vote for McCain.

I pity this country if Hussein Obama gets elected as President.

I don’t want either to drop out. I wish there was some way to keep the fight going. Hillary and Obama are both socialist and should never hold elected office.

I think Clinton and Obama should drop out. This election is now McCain’s all the way. Really we did not have much chance electing a good president this time.

After seeing the possible choices this election it will be the second one that I vote for Mickey Mouse. The first was when NIXON was running.
