Clinton Being Urged To Drop Out Of Race

Barack Obama The Democratic process to find the nominee for President is coming into its final stages. As the end gets nearer, Barack Obama seems to be getting closer to being the winner.
Friday was a key day for the Senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton has been clinging to the idea that she could win the nomination should the decision come down to superdelegates. That is no longer looking like the case.
Obama pulled ahead of Clinton on Friday in pledged superdelegates. He totaled nine for the day, but more importantly,
Ed Espinoza from California, Wilber Lee Jeffcoat from South Carolina, and endorsements from superdelegates in New Mexico and Hawaii were added to the Obama camp. Thursday, Obama took away Donald Payne from New Jersey, who had originally pledged his support for Clinton.
When he changed his allegiance Thursday, he said it was "one of the most difficult decisions I have made." Many Democrats are calling for Clinton to drop out of the race, so the party can unite and focus on defeating the Republicans in the Fall.

"He totaled nine for the day, but more importantly, took one away from Clinton." Nothing "more importantly" about "took one away from Clinton" because this "one" was an African American. He flipped just like John Lewis, another African American, who had the same "difficult decision" lamentation . Sen. Clinton has been the victim of black racism. Sen. Obama's lead in delegates, superdelegates, and votes resulted from black racism against Sen. Clinton.
Sen. Obama passes Sen. Clinton in superdelegate count but this doesn't matter because Obama will crash and burn in November if he swipes the nomination from Sen. Clinton. |

I honestly cannot believe your comments. You sound like the racist one to me. I see why you are a Clinton supporter-you like playing the race card just like she does. She has been a victim of black racism??? And you don't think that Obama has been a victim of white racism?? Hello? I guess at the end, you should support the democratic party period...And when the President of the United States is announced-racist people like you will have to suck it up and accept BARACK OBAMA as your President of the United States!!
