Everyday someone says that Hillary should drop out of the race. Obama’s camp has even stated theories that the Clinton’s are trying to ruin Obama’s chances to win so Hillary can run again in four years. That’s absurd. The only candidates that run every election are the ones that are not serious contenders. Serious candidates never run again. Life (and politics) is about timing. Hillary’s time is now and if she doesn’t win, then she missed her chance to be President and that’s it.
So, back to the original question: Should Hillary drop out? Of course not! The race is too close. One misstep by either candidate can reverse the outcome. If Obama had a bigger lead, then dropping out would be a appropriate. But, this race is too close to drop out. If Hillary dropped out now, she would be forever labeled in history as a quitter and the candidate that was close to winning to the nomination, but will never know, because she dropped out early. The folks that repeatedly ask her to drop out have their own agenda and I think it’s very transparent.

Have you noticed the increase in auto decals, yard signs and other advertisements for Democrats? It’s been unpopular to be a Democrat in this country since ex-President Reagan’s administration. At the office, at parties, at church, even at the grocery store folks have boasted of their conservative nature and the Republican party. But, it’s been very unusual for the last couple of decades for anyone to publicly state that they are a Democrat. The radio and TV commentators have made “liberal” seem like a four letter word. Some commentators speak with such hatred that it almost sounds as if a “liberal” is close to being a traitor.
