How many think Hillary or Obama will quit before the Convention?

Since either candidate has to win all the rest of the states with a 60% margin in order to get the required number of delegates, how many people think one of them will bow out of the race for the good of the party? Or will both of them fight tooth and nail all the way through the convention in August?

How many think Hillary or Obama will quit before the Convention?
I don't believe it is very likely that any of them will quit for different reasons. I think that Obama will have more delegates (not counting super delegates) and more votes; therefore it will not make any sense for him to quit. I think it is unlikely that the Clintons will acknowledge defeat ; they will try their hardest to win superdelegates and to get the Michigan and Florida primaries taken into account. It probably won't work because it would be a suicide for the Democrats but who knows...





Now perhaps if Obama wins Texas and Ohio, then Hillary can be prevailed upon to give up... Right now the polls don't favour that scenario but things may well change. And even if Hillary wins with a narrow margin in these states, she will be in a very difficult position and may be forced to quit.
Reply:i dont think either one will quit. the dirty stuff hasnt even started yet.
Reply:I think the super delegates will decide the winner - sucks.
Reply:I do not see it happening soon, it is far too close.


I do feel the Super delegates will go to the candidate with the majority of public votes. So one could bow out early, but not until all of the votes have been counted.t.
Reply:It is not likely.

Reply:If Obama loses the nomination, (not likely at this point,) I see him bowing out gracefully. If Hillary loses, she will demand recounts and revotes and do-overs until the roosters quit crowing at sunup. She will gnash her teeth, throw tantrums and never, never let it go. The convention will just be an afterthought.
Reply:I don't think either will quit,..and that's not a bad thing !


I don't remember the last "brokered" convention, so I'm looking forward to it, also, after the candidate is decided, I hope to see John Edwards, and Evan Bayh at the top of the potential Vice-President's list.


This could be an historic election cycle for more reasons than previously thought !
Reply:I don't think Hillary will quite even if someone else is elected president.
Reply:Obama will condece in April 22.
Reply:I've always considered myself to be a Democrat. I joined the Democratic Party many years ago, and have only voted for 1 Republican in all of those years.





I hate to say it, but if Obama gets the Democratic nomination, I'll vote Republican again.





I won't vote for a cocky person with no experience and nothing to say except that we need change. Change to "WHAT"? Hitler offered "change". Stalin offered "change".





I don't trust anyone who won't say what the specifics of that "change" are. Many of my friends and colleagues have voiced the same opinion that I have and are willing to accept Hillary based on the fact that she has so much experience, and the fact that she has a Rhodes scholar at her side to go to for advice if the need arises.





Sorry Democrats....... Call us all "turncoats" if you wish. It's just the way it is. If Obama gets it, McCain gets our votes. You'll see in November why the Republican voter turnout was so low in the primaries, and be stunned by the number of Republican votes in the November election.





The Republican vote has been shifted to Obama during the primaries (white males), in an attempt to ensure his nomination with the knowledge that he will be defeated by McCain (who the Republicans are sporting as "liberal", when in fact he is not, to sway middle road voters when Obama gets nominated.) And the Democrats seem to be falling for this old ruse.





This same old scam has been used in the past. So be it if we want 4-8 years more of Republican rule, I guess that people just can't see the forest for the trees. That's all I have to say on the subject.
