Is Clinton's Campaign Finished?



Judging by last night's primaries, some might think so. Though she beat Obama in the Indiana primary, she only did so by a two delegate lead. Obama won a primary as well, in North Carolina, and had a much larger lead (he had a 14 delegate lead in N.C.) Obama also won the Guam Primary, which may not have seemed very important, however he managed to gain a superdelegate there. Clinton's campaign is also nearly broke, and has started to use some of her own money for her campaign. Clinton says that she won't drop out of the race, but many Democrats, Republicans, and Independents agree that her denial is the only thing keeping her in the race. A week ago, I checked out a poll on doonesbury.com, and the question was: Who do you blame for the prolonged primary? Democrats, Republicans, and Independents once again all agreed on the one person who was to blame: Hillary Clinton. Don't get me wrong, I like Hillary Clinton, and I don't want her to drop out of the race, but I, like many people feel that the primaries have gone on long enough. The Republican Nominee, John McCain, has had more time to strategize for the coming Democrat-Republican debates, while the Democrats are still debating with each other. On the bright side, however, the Democrats will have had more practice with tougher questions asked in debates, while John McCain will not have any experience with harder questions since he's been asked mostly easy questions. In other John McCain news, his pastor had been saying some very controversial stuff, yet McCain accepts his endorsement!

Do you think that Clinton should drop out, or stay in the race? Will John McCain have a better chance at becoming president?
