To answer your last question, not yet. Senator Clinton is still fighting hard, and that's her choice. But if she loses either Texas or Ohio, I would reconsider my answer if she didn't gracefully bow out.

Kathleen is correct and i am glad she has the courage to come forward to say this.

Wow, that's pretty harsh and the thing about Clinton having little more experience than Obama is a huge gimme to the Obama campaign.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend on Wikipedia

some people like her and her as well as one of Ckinton's main supporters in TX choose to live in reality and not obama hate-land.

This the second phase of a setup.

You ahd a Super Delegate saying it was pretty much over down in Texas recently.

Super Delegates have been jumping ship.

The quote says Townsend called the campaign to express that she thought Hillary should go out on a high note and was rejected, thus Townsend went public with her misgivings.

Now you have Hillary's online fund raising challenge failing to meet its goal, though they'll push it back and claim victory, the ability to raise funds at a rate similar to Obama has become critical, and that's just not happening when you do the math on Obama donation rates. Obama is going to own her in the money game.

Hillary may find herself in a worse situation in Ohio and Texas than the situation in Wisconsin.

It's not just winning she needs, BBC...she needs LANDSLIDES in both TX and OH.  We are talking like 30 point landslides just to have a chance of catching up with Barack Obama..in terms of primary delegates.

30 points is a pretty steep hill to climb.

Denial is the first stage of grief.

If there is a call to make I would think folks would give the candidate herself the courtesy to make the call herself.

Besides, last time I looked no one had reached the magic number. If She wins either Texas or Ohio she should absolutely stay in the race through Pennsylvania. This is politics. You never know what can happen.

This is not the first time in her life that people have counted her out. the late JFK told a group of girls that they could never be president but maybe a few of them may get to be first lady. Mrs. Kennedy may be miffed that her advice was 'politely refused.' They are just putting pressure on Hilary.

It's not over until the last Democrat votes. Or someone gets a majority of the delegates. All sorts of things can happen, some of them might. She can continue on, and I would like to see her do so.

you dont find it odd this is her 2nd major supporter to say Obama will win this week?  I tell what i do find odd, you cheering for McCain.

LadyEagle...

...yes a "win" of any kind wouyld be nice for her, BUT she needs 30 point landlsides in order to just BEGIN to catch up...she needs similar performances in EVERY remianing state to make up the Obama lead.

To quote a cliche... a win of say 10 points is putting a band-aid on shotgun blast.

I don'r blame HRC for staying in until 3/4... just to see if the miracle can happen...AND to see if she can raise the 5 million she lent the campaign.  To quit nowwould be premature and finacially imprudent.

But come the 5th...I hope she does herself and the party the favor of uniting behind Obama.

One good thing about this.

At least she isn't a Super Delegate.

Ted Kennedy did not have enough delegates to win the nomination and he took his fight straight to the Senate floor. it caused a big stink on the floor. I know no one wants that this go round, but they need to stop pretending that this is anywhere near as messy as before.

I don't think KKT would've come out like this and pronounced this had she not been given the shaft on her advice to the campaign.  This provides wonderful fodder for Obama with her experience comment, definitely not good for Clinton, but KKT is also trying to cover her hide.  She probably wouldn't have said this had she not been burnt.

One can hear Frank Gifford's voice...

but they didn't want to hear it.  

Fuck you for using that term.  I am old, and I am am wiser than most.  A woman should rule only if she can win the nomination.  She's burned through only a few millions less than Obama and has eleven consecutive losses to show for it.  If Obama had that many losses, you would be screaming for him to bow out.  Fortunately for all of us, this will all be over March 5th.

Predators do not go quietly.  They go snarling.

Show me another source. The Moderate Voice just parrots what the Political Wire said. I doubt KKT said this. Is this just more of Obama's misinformation campaign?
