She's no emotional rookie. She's a professional politician who's very much interested in her place in history. I think she'll announce sometime after March 4th that she's suspending her campaign. Besides, her operation will be practically penniless.
That makes a lot of sense, I'm sure she would like to be Senate majority leader. That's in her future if she doesn't burn too many bridges.

Uh, every one of those threads is based on an actual article or analysis that someone else wrote.

YOUR post claiming that "Hillary is Bi-Polar" is based on your own pathetic and insensitive claims. Your fellow Obama people frequently post litanies of nasty rants against Hillary's appearance and gender AND call her supporters unflattering names, as well, with no provocation, no substance, and no regard for the feelings of other people.

Your "Bipolar" thread led to personal attacks against me, my son, and my now-deceased husband who was indeed bipolar simply because I asked that this serious illness NOT be trivialized. How PROUD that must make you!

-Illustrates my theory that a large majority of Obama supporters, including those that go on LIVE TV as a "supporter" of Obama, know nothing about the man beyond his "Hope and Change" campaign rhetoric.

-I'll give you this one too; it was also humorous rhetoric.

-Obama DOES lie about his health plan. It is NOWHERE NEAR Universal and has been proven so by MANY independent experts. The link to factcheck.org is enclosed for your review.

Hypocrisy much?
See my comments in red.

From your link:
Caveat: Obama's 13-point lead -- his first outside the survey's margin of error -- "is at odds with a separate Gallup tracking poll. Taken Friday through Sunday, it gave the Illinois senator a narrow 47% to 45% lead over Clinton."

I would surely vote for Clinton if she was the nominee. Their policies are actually very similar, and differ in small nuances. Ideologically, they are almost identical.

Don't get too worked up by these boards or by what you read. Since this is crunch time for both Obama and Clinton, you are certain to see and hear a lot of mud slinging on either side, because there really is not much to differentiate between the two.

After a nominee finally starts to clear up, much of this will be in the rear view mirror.

Don't let random babble from random people sway you from your real thoughts and ideas on what needs to be done to fix today's problems and tomorrow's uncertainties.

Yep, they appear to be two separate polls, though both done by Gallup. I suppose the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Brand new NY Times poll shows Obama up nationally 54%-38%.

Also, almost double the respondents feel Obama has a better chance than Clinton to beat McCain.
