So who do you side with, your friend/political buddy or the poll which says pragmatism will carry the day?
...correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't HRC wins all been in closed primary states thus far?
And Obama has won in both closed AND open primaries AND caucuses AND in all parts of the country. Based on contests up through SuperTuesday, Obama clearly has the wider appeal in the Democratic party as well as among Independents and Liberal Republicans.
He does need to work on older folks and white women. Ted and Oprah need to step up their games...
i'm with the poll. my take is that from now until November 4th, things will not get better (the housing market, the economy, the war, etc). as a result, the Repub nominee, let's assume McCain, will be seen as someone who will continue w/the bush program. voters, i feel, will then vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever that person is.

Also, Obama has the capital to stay in the race as long as needed. I saw a report (I think on CNN) that he raised $7 million since just last week. CNN reported that Clinton had to use $5 million of her own money.
I agree with the above statement that the party told Romney to quit. I was surprised that he dropped out. I think he was hoping to do better on Super Tuesday, but the split vote still gave him hope. Just look what it did for Hucklebee. Everyone told him drop out, but he did well on Tuesday.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~Martin Luther King
i think Romney or Mrs. Romney said to quit. since his campaign was self-financed, i think he/she saw the bank balance and said it was time to move on. note to Romney: next time, don't declare that you will finance your run. unless, he all the sudden turns into Michael Bloomberg or Gov. Corzine-Governor, NJ (both are quite wealthy)
as for rush and and ann coulter saying they won't support McCain in his run. i'm not so sure now. this could be some sort of trick to throw Dems off...i just don't trust those repubs. they'll do/say whatever to ensure their hold on the White House.
