Clinton Denies Rumors of Quitting the Race
Another denial of the CNN report suggesting that Clinton and Obama insiders are hashing out a deal for her to exit the race – this one from the candidate herself.
“That’s flatly untrue… flatly, completely untrue,” she said in an interview with the Argus Leader in South Dakota. It is not anything I’m entertaining, it is nothing I have planned.”
She said she intends to continue “vigorously campaigning” between now and South Dakota’s primary on June 3rd, saying she doesn’t understand that calls to exit. “between my opponent and his campaign and some in the media, there has been this urgency to end this,” she ssaid. “People have been trying to push me out of this since Iowa.”
Earlier today, top Obama and Clinton aides also denied the report, which claimed that insiders from both campaigns were discussing options to give Senator Clinton a graceful exit strategy – including offering her the Vice Presidential slot on the Obama ticket.

United they stand divided McCain wins………
Good for Hillary. This all a bunch of media hype and others who are trying to get Hillary out. The democrats should be thanking Hillary because without Hillary the dem’s will lose half of their core base.
Hillary if not then McCain because Obama is a fraud and far more dangerous to this country then any republican.
This is one democrat that will never vote for Obama even if he chooses Clinton as his running mate. I do not trust the man. He does not have the best interest of this country at heart.
Democrats for McCain
This is the Obama campaign trying to psych us out. We might as well be a communist nation by the way the dnc is acting. If they continue to ignore the voters and continue to disenfranchise the voters then the dnc needs to be disbanded. Clinton clearly owes nothing to the dnc and should be running as a independent. That would take care of Obamas chances.
Barbara e you are not alone. I have my family Republicans and my husbands family Democrats non of which plan to vote for Obama even if Hillary is at her side. Truth is I’m sick of hearing the name Obama.
It makes me sick how all of her previous followers have just abandon her. How anyone can support Obama after what we have learned about him and the company he keeps sickens me. Hillary and McCain want the job. Obama wants to socialize. I wish Hiallry would team with McCain and that would show them all!
Hillary needs to take her fight to the Convention in Denver. This election has been rigged and the people who have voted for her will support her untill all the votes in Florida and Michigan are counted and untill there is a nominee.
Comment by JimBo
.. Ouch on the comment about Republicans. But I’m 100% with you on your statement about Obama. That man is dangerous for our country. He is clueless about national security.

John Ondrasik (the singer-songwriter who is Five for Fighting) is one of the most pro-GI people in pop music. And in this video, it shows. You may have heard the song before but this video is new. In the beginning, he goes into a pawn shop to pawn a flag… the pawnbroker is in his sixties, and over his shoulder you see a photo of a young Vietnam era warrant officer with aviator wings and the MOH.
Yes, that’s really a Medal of honor winner–not an actor.

TIME FOR PEACE MCCAIN 08!
Barbara e, my family and I ,and thank god its a BIG one are ALL voting republican, researched Obama, very scary man, some of the msm, are of course in his pocket, and this country is looking at becoming under dictatorship. I comment at cnn, though 95% never get through, only pro-obama allowed, but I still comment and let them know I believe they are spewing propaganda for obama.
what country are we living in??
Obama wont win the White House becuase he surrounds himself with racists.
Please see link below. Look forward to the ceiling falling down on the Obama campaign in October.
http://www.macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/05/20/a-michelle-obama-whitey-tape/
Obama is a grave danger to our country. He now wants to tell us how much we can eat, what cars to drive and temperature to keep our heaters/air conditioners on, is he nuts?
Julie35
It almost seems like communist Russia. Unbelievable that he is where he is. There are so many people disgusted with the dnc and there answer is that they don’t need us. They think they can win with the college and black vote. Boy do they have another thing coming.
Democrats for McCain08
go to the convention, hillary………make them vote and let this country see who is really supporting that lying racist obama. the dnc belongs in jail for the fraud that they have become trying to run somebody like obama……madness, democrats for mccain.
I always blog this good site, realclearpolitics, down to articles, this am had them on SD Obama has given alot of money to them, alot comming out on the Sd. Hillary should have already won, very rigged election for obama, the dnc are un-American…. also go to Americanthinker and noquarters.
People really need to take time and dig more into who Obama really is. He voted 120 times present, not yes, not no but present. He voted 5 times and then said I pushed the wrong button, I really meant to vote the other way. Godd Lord, can you imagine him in the white house and push the wrong button? We can all kiss our you know what good bye!!
Obama resign,
Thanks for the link. Very moving.
Yes, I agree! Obama is a fraud! Mr. HotAir in an empty suit!
Hillary isn’t going to quit…Except it…Deal with it..If Obama is the “SELECTED” nominee Hillary’s Dems will walk…plain and simple…We won’t be threatened anymore, we won’t be disrespected anymore, we won’t be taken for granted anymore…We are gone….We don’t trust or respect Obama …and we will not vote for him…We don’t care about Party Loyalty anymore..we love our country more than the party that has left us..
They are so worried…poll numbers going against the “Selected” one…always trying to push her aside…and out of this race…and discounting the millions that support Hillary!!
Who listens to CNN anyways!!! They are so biased…They should be called the Communists News Network…One big Propaganda Network…with no credibility!!!!!!
Take it to the convention..after ALL votes have been cast and COUNTED…ALL VOTES!!!
It’s over when Hillary says it’s over. I don’t know anyone who will vote for Obama..
If not Hillary …John McCain a moderate, who has proven he loves his country and will put America first!!
Barbara e,
I agree with you, I am so sick of the dnc. After 20 years of being a dem I recently changed my party. I am ashamed of the way they have treated Hillary, I personally feel that no matter what they would rather put a un-qualified BLACK man in office before they put in a more than qualified woman. Shame on them, I am glad I changed party and will encourage those dems that are Hillary supporters not to vote for Barrack Hussien Obama.
Take to Denver Hillary - put this good ole boy politiics to rest. Obama is a loser in every sense of the word. America will go further down the tubes.
A McCain/Clinton ticket. That would get my vote. Both McCain and Clinton know how to cross party lines when it is necessary. Moveon and the dnc will not allow Obama to. Don’t be fooled. Obama is moveon and the dnc’s puppet. That is why Obama can’t think on the fly. He is given the scripts from the dnc and reads them like a good little puppet.
Its almost funny ,2 months ago, the obama followers were screaming that the sd must go the way of the how the people voted, as in counties,states, if thats the case,it goes to Hillary, then they were yelling the Sd MUST vote with the popular vote, ect ect Obama should just tell them, if he hasnt already, we will use whatever way MAKES ME WIN!!!!! Im so sick of the democratic anti-American party, going Republican because Im voting for AMERICA!!!!
Democrate for McCain
All of you wanting to help Hillary get the list of Superdelegates off the web and start emailing, calling or writing….NO OBAMA
Obama Resign,
I watch that video last night…I emailed it to everyone on my email list…I loved it!
Thank you!
God Bless America! United we Stand….
So let her go ahead, write herself another check and continue to campaign. From a mathematical standpoint, it doesn’t matter whether she quits or not. Florida and Michigan, according to her earlier agreement with the DNC, are off the table, no matter how loud she screams and Obama and the DNC are never going to simply hand over those two states to her. There isn’t any way that the DNC is going to keep Obama from the nomination. Campaign? Sure, why not. Have at it. There’s still some big states left. Unfortunately, they aren’t packed with delegates and Obama already has more than half of the rest anyway.
The dnc actually think we will fall in line come the general election. They actually think this is about Clinton. This is not just about Clinton. This is about puting a fraud, anti-semitic and race baiting man into office. Again please go to the link below. The fireworks will start in october
http://www.macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/05/20/a-michelle-obama-whitey-tape/
WTG Julie35! For the first time ever I worry about who will become President. Lets face it Obama is dangerous! It’s Time For Peace, McCain 08!
Barbara e — Michelle Obama is a racist!
I cannot believe that Hillary brought up the assassination of Robert Kennedy as a reason for why she is staying in the race. Does she really think that something might happen to Obama????
I used to get emails from the Democratic Party for donations…I always replied…NO Florida and Michigan NO MONEY…and I haven’t gotten anymore in awhile…

You are soo right, the DNC is going to do whatever it takes to make sure that Obama gets the nomination, we all already know that. Shame on the DNC, that’s exactly why I changed parties!!
It’s the Obama supporters who are spreading this rumor. They want her to drop out so badly that they are willing to spread lies.

***** And why wouldn’t they lie, Obama does.
There is a revolution going on with the base of the democratic party. We are going to have a tea party and it will be the dnc going in the river and good riddance. This is huge and will definitely shake things up. By October Obama and his racist wife will not have a chance at the general. Yes, he might get the nomination but that is when the party will begin. An exodus of sorts. With the base saying good bye to the dnc.
Interesting that the networks are all eager to report on events that are not even taking place, while none of them are reporting the results of recent polls indicating Senator Clinton is favored to win in the general election.
The media also has a field day with the FL and MI vote issue, never failing to point out how the two states broke the DNC’s rules, etc. At the same time there have been numerous caucuses that were total shams, most notably those in Texas, and there is NEVER any mention of this issue that has had a profound impact on the primary results. What is worse is the DNC is fully aware of the flawed results of these caucuses but chooses to do nothing about it.

Every candidate has a possibility of being assinated, why do they have all that security.
The Obama camp and his supporters are going to look for any reason not to let Hillary become VP, even if that means making the comment on the assassination of Robert Kennedy an issue.

**** You make such a good point. What is wrong with people. No one seems to be able to think about what is important and the future of our world. THey live for today and have no foresight.
For all the obamas,, obama took his name off the MI ballot because he was 20 pts behind hillary, he DID NOT have to.. that was set up by good old coward dean, AND obama RAN TV ADS for 2wks before Floridas election. vote fraud by obama campaign was done in Nevada,texas, Washington state? Indiana, and my guess is every other state that has voted!!! just because he has bought the morals and integrity of cnn and others,, does not mean we all dont know, he has lawyers working on all the complaints, in God only knows how many states!!!!! He has cheated to get where he is, he is a cheater liar,fraud,and un-American, I hope the dem party crashes….
American Woman you are right… Hillary supporters have portrayed in in such a ugly way. Especially the black community. They are supporting Obama because of qualities or there lack of he may bring to the campaign. They are supporting Obama for the mere fact that he is half BLACK, how pathetic and ignorant.

Don”t drop out stay until aug. We need you to stayin PLEASE
Obama has a problem with everyone except the blacks. If he thinks that the black vote is going to get him in the white house he is in for a surprise. The black population is only about 15% of our population, reality check for Obama. He is kissing the buts of the Jewish people, Latinos, Cubans and where are the white people in his speeches? He will find out that he needs all of us and not just the black vote. Unfortunately for him, we now know who he really is, what he really stands for and it is not good for our great country.

I wouldn’t put it past her to doing it as a way to encourage one of her nutty supporters to attempt it. There is absolutely no place for that kind of comment. It is just another reason why she is not qualified to be president.
Carol,
I agree that she needs to stay in until the end but I will not vote for a Obama/Clinton ticket. If Obama is on the ticket then my vote goes to McCain. A good honest man that loves this country.
Democrats for McCain08
you should all check out savagepolitics .com
Julie 35 —- I think the Hillary supporters are so angry with Obama and what kind of people he brings to their party that the party itself has divided. Hillary and McCain have a common interest and that is to serve AMERICA. Obama and the people that follow him are ignorant and dangerous to the well being of this country. Obama really has no business being in the political sector. America has to wake up.
Michelle Obama said she would have to think about it if she were to team up with Hillary. What a slap on the face. I can’t stand Michelle she is such a racist.
It is so obvious that FOX news does not like the Obama campaign. I will have to stop watching that station. U guys are SO BIASED.ALL OF U!! Shame on you. yet you all say you report in a fair and balanced way. Just look at the way that anchor was rough towards Dr Susan Rice this evening.You all are despeakable……….to say the list.
As a Jew I know that Obama will not get our vote. They know what will happen to Israel if Obama becomes president. Iran will try and destroy Israel and Obama will set back and do nothing and if you question him he will say. Why are you so surprised? I told you in my book that I would have to stand with Islam if things get ugly.

**** Rest assure the Jewish community doesn’t want Obama! I speak for my own Jewish relatives who migrated to this country. They are Republicans and would never stand for Obama. They know a fool when they see one. Obama is sucking up to the wrong group. If Obama has his way the Jews would be in trouble and I think they all know it. I speak for here in the US and abroad.

If people had known even half of what we now know about Obama he would already be back in Chicago with his nasty wife. Hillary would have won from the beginning. Unfortunately, noone knew anything about him, he comes out from no where and preaches all this BS and they fell for it. You know the old saying, if it sounds too good to be real, then it is too good to be true.

A obama supporter went to all of bill Clintons speeches, wrote down everything that she? thought obama camp could use against him, racist comments, found 3, they have for sure used 2 fairy tale and the J,jackson comments, this was all found in e-mails at obama camp, obama has used the race card from day one!! and has encouraged all his supporters to do the same, not to mention the hateful,vile comments they blog, a web site has a big story on this and many,many comments from obama bloggers, found them at realclearpolitics this am, my printer would not work, or i would have them, all go there, vote on articles, you can find out ALOT, that is until someone shuts down free speech via the internet!!!!!! read the comments, good info out there..
thank you to fox, for letting us speak!
right on barbara e!
and to you ED cnn and msnbc have been biased FOX just tells it how it is stop
cryingyou obamabots are worst than 2 yr old wa wa. lol go savagepolitics.com learn the truth
I think millions of Americans have always thought there is no real difference between the Republicans and the Democrats–the system is designed to create middle-of-the-road policies no one really likes but most people can live with. I think Obama may scare people out of their complacency. Too many of Obama’s supporters rely on his words and his website for their information without going any deeper. I was harassed for 20 minutes by Obama supporters after I said he supported decriminalizing marijuana–almost everyone thought he only believed in medical marijuana–until I could finally get the link to the Washington Post article stating otherwise to post. Then not a single comment saying the article was wrong — yet the next day the same people were back arguing the same false point that he only supports medical marijuana. It is getting to the point where if you blog you have to keep a list of cites open so you can post the “truth” in the hopes that someone will read it.
If Obama is soooooo terrible like some of you claim, then how have so many AMERICANS voted to have HIM in the lead and each day he is getting new superdelegates?…even some that are personal friends and supporters of Hillary….I tell you what, don’t vote for him and watch OUR country continue to sink into more trouble. It is my hopes they Obama and Hillary unite since they both claim to care about the “party” over themselves….you who say you will vote for McCain really need to search your souls and pray that the underlying hatred you posess is taken away….You trusted Bush, now we can’t drive, travel, eat, go to school, get medical attention, etc…America is slowly becoming the laughing stock of the global planet we live on, and all you can do is talk about a pastor and other non-important topics…if this hit home, then yeah I am talking to YOU…

Hi Barbara,
I wouldn’t worry about Iran attaking Israel. If they ever tried anything, Israel would wipe them off the face of the earth before we could even get a single airplane off the ground. You don’t mess with Israel. Look what happened the other times they were attacked. 6 days war, yom kippur war. Their military has come along way since then too. It is much better.
So don’t worry. Israel will be safe.

**** You are right on Key. I do feel sorry for Hilary. I’m for the Republican Party because I believe it is our Military that has fought all these generations that give us all another day to Live. I don’t think the Democratic Party supports the Military as they should. Still, historically I could say I have respect for my President to whoever it may be “BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFETIME - I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I RESPECT MY PRESIDENT IF OBAMA WHERE HIM” I think this is where the Hillary and McCain supporters stand. How in God’s name can America elect such a dangerous man as Obama in the White House. How scary would that be?
