This seems a bit pre-mature

I don't see this being true. Are they probaly thinking if they get stomped in NH and SC about calling off the dogs? Probably. I don't see Hillary getting out of this race at all though.

TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS
Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET

Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!

"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider to the DRUDGE REPORT. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."

Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."

"Her money is going to dry up," Edwards confided, a top source said Monday morning.

Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state.

"She did not work this hard to get out after one state! All this talk is nonsense," said one top adviser.

But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

Developing...

[The dramatic reversal of fortunes has left the media establishment stunned and racing to keep up with fast-moving changes.

In its final poll before Iowa, CNN showed Clinton with a two-point lead over Obama. Editorial decisions were being made based on an understanding the Democratic primary race would be close, explained a network executive.]

    Yeah, a little early to be dismissing her completely alright. Sure, she's taken a hit, but that doesn't mean the hill-dog is gonna back down.

  • It's been Clinton/Bush for how long now?

    The money will magically appear, unless the primaries completely obliterate her. Even then, it will take some doing. It makes little difference. The next socio-economic climber will step up (probably Barack) and the exact same master beat will be played on a different set of drums. It might sound a little different at first, but the groove will kick back in as minds dull over again to sit back and watch the mainstream media put on it's show; smoke and mirrors the never ending sequel.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Do you have this stuff on your clipboard on your computer at all time just to right click and paste it on here? It's almost like a broken record. I've yet to see you come up with anything for Ron Paul being involved in the CFR.

    What reality? It just happens to be the way it is. Ron Paul and the CFR?! where are you getting that insane idea from? I've never once said that...ever. The opposite in fact.

  • It is definitely premature. I wouldn't doubt though if republicans are going to start quietly helping her campaign. They'd love to have her to run against.

    I did find it interesting that John Edwards is taking Obama's back and going after Clinton. I think that the lawyer in him is smelling blood in the water and he is trying to get himself in position to make a run or get on the ticket (if Obama keeps going).

    The body language between Obama and Edwards the other night lead me to believe that there is something up their sleeve. It would be one hell of a ticket for the Republicans to try and defeat though.
  • Hilary will give up her candidacy when you pry it from her cold dead fingers.

    Hey I just thought of a great bumper sticker.

    the other foot in the gutter

    I think this story is more of a rumor and a dirty trick than it being even slightly true. You don't spend all that money and not ride it out.

    Besides, we don't want this... the three person race is much better for Obama than a two person race. He wins either way but still, makes it easier with three :D

    There is always a cynic around every corner. It must suck to be so pessimistic all the time. Whatever you believe will happen electing an African American for president will be good for the morale of this country and help what ever credibility we have left in the worlds eyes.

    BTW Ron Paul is a very smart man, and he is about as electable as Ralph Nader. The only reason he is even still around is the field he is playing in is awful.
