How Do We Say This Delicately???
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton
We think it's time for Hillary to drop out of the race.
Yeah, we said it.
The Democratic party has to rally around the candidate the people have chose, and, by now, it's pretty clear who that candidate is.

Never give up until the game has ended! It's the fourth quarter of the game and only two weeks to go! Go Hillary!
Thanks for finally being honest. Hillary is still a good candidate, but Obama is a GREAT candidate. It's time to unite as liberals and turn the country around!
Thats rite B'zz
Obama is the shizz
Where Hilary fucked up
1. She overestimated her likeability. Bill is charming, she is not.
2. She felt she was entitled to the Presidency, and the arrogance turned even more people off
3. She took the female vote for granted. A lot of women, myself included, don't like her because she didn't stand up for herself more during the Lewinsky scandal. Hard to believe she'll stand up for me.
I'm not an Obama fan, but, to me, he is a lesser evil than Hilary.
Hillary will be the majority leader.
I have to disagree. She is winning the popular vote while Obama has more delegates. If she continues to win the last few primaries like she did Kentucky then there is a small chance she could get the superdelegates to go for her. Personally, I just like her better. She's more experienced and can bring a lot more than Obama.
Actually, the people's vote is not what matters, as the Bush/Gore election showed. It's all about electoral votes, just like super delgate votes. Let's be honest, people. While the Dems are fighting this out, the Republicans are rallied around a unified candidate. I am a Obama supporter, and I am not some fan girl and I don't think "experience" counts for more when that experience has not all been positive. Also, since when does being the wife of a former carpenter make you qualified to build a house? Let it go, people. It's more than just a question of personality. The woman is a liar and is using disgusting tactics to throw dirt. Anyone who claims "White America" is on their side needs to head back to their home on Racist Island. Thanks.
obama's a fucking communist…he wants to distribute the wealth globally…i work hard for my measley $20,000 a year. FUCK THAT. I don't give a fuck about AIDS infested babies in Africa. I care about paying my goddamn rent. FUCK OBAMA
Re: Mayra – Seriously, get a life. You're probably some dumbass broad who is just going for hilary because she's a female. she couldn't satisfy her husband, she can't satisfy america. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but how dare you say Obama sucks just because you think so. I doubt you're the smartest person in the world.
i don't believe perez really believes this
i think he just posted this to get us all talking today!! hahah
GO! Be Heard! She can still be President!!

wow, perez. that must been hard. i have a new found respect for you. That's awesome that you fought the food fight, but now want to unite the party! love you perez!
OMG PEREZ I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THAT COMMENT….. YOU ARE ACTUALLY A SMART GIRL!!!
Re: LeoNise – What are you smoking? We're in disarray? You're a fucking idiot along with the rest of them.
I just don't get it. Hasn't anyone truly done their homework? Did you read his book/books? Although I admire his honesty, I think Hillary is more qualified. I don't think she should be penalized for not snorting coke, for not smoking pot, or not being "cool' enough, I don't want cool, I want decisive judgements, experience and specifics on policy and procedure. Obama gives a great speech, and he's admirable, just not experienced enough. Go Hillary all the way, fight til the fight is over. OK youngsters, I don't know about you, but in the 90's everyone I knew was making money! It was a great time! A lot of things were accomplished. That administration put more blacks in goverment positions than any other, so remember that all you two faced black stabbing biatches!!!!!!! Hillary should go all the way, trust me there are a lot of voters out there that can't change their vote now that they know the truth about Barack Hussien Obama. Perez are you hitting the pipe again? If she were a man, the pundits wouldn't be saying she should quit. What about us 20 million people out here, still supporting her and still contributing? She should go all the way, she's broke all kinds of records, and she or he could be VP!!!!!! The party will reunite!
HILLARY 2008
OBAMA SUCKS!!
IF OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC CANADATE THEN I AM SURE MCCAIN WILL BE OUT NEXT PRESIDENT!! NOW HOW SCAREY IS THAT!
Oh good….another idiot that has no experience….just what we need. The rest of the world can continue to think we're a bunch of dumb fucks….niiiiice!!

Hillary scares me !
Obama is a racist. He won't make it to the white house. I guarantee he will be stopped. he has too many faults. He too young, to inexpierenced, HE A RACIST, he's mixed, he has tied to the middle east, he wife has made comments such as this is the first time she is pround to be an american, he refused to hold his hand over his heart wile the anthem was being played. The man that preached to him faith and religion is a racist. too many bad thing.
MCCAIN ALLT HE WAY. WE NEED A REAL MAN INTHE WHITE HOUSE.
Some of you people are so short-sighted and hypocritical, it really is a sign of your lack of intelligence. I believe Hillary euphemistically refers to you as hard-working white people. 1st of all, Hillary running as independent will not only be the death knell for her chances of election this year, it will also be that for her political career. She will never win another elected office outside of recording secretary for NOW. 2nd, the Democratic nomination process has been in place for years. Nobody ever complained it was unfair until this bitter woman wasn't winning. It is a testament to Obama's intelligence and fortitude that he was able to work the system to his advantage to pull out a victory. Hillary on the other hand, in all her entitlement and lack of planning, thought she would have the nomination locked up by Super Tuesday and totally disregarded the caucus states. If the situation were reversed and she had won all of the caucases, best believe she and all of her bitter supporters would be singing a different tune. I hate sore losers. Excuses are the tools of the incompetent, which is why we haven't heard any from Mr. Obama.
I would never ever vote for Hillary. WHY?
All she does is lie.
She stayed with a man who cheated on her with many many women. Bill had NO respect or love for Hillary yet she stayed with him for her own political gains. NO MORALS
All she does is lie.
She's run the most negitive campaign in history.
All she does is lie.
She can't manage her own campaign let alone a country.
Did I mention she lies?
She Failed the people of New York as a senator. The state lost thousands and thousands of jobs.
Nafta
The war in Iraq
My god, the list goes on and on.
Again, the lies !
She has divided the democratics more than anyone else.
She is destroying the party, so very selfish.
She can't be trusted to be a president. There's no way she would win in November.
The people won't forget what harm she's done.
Thanks for the "endorsement." It's nice to see the tide finally turning and in a big way towards the presumptive Democratic nominee. I would encourage anyone who suggests that Obama can't beat McCain to do a bit of reading or check out recent national polls about a McCain/Obama match-up in November. Secondly, it's easy to say that current Hillary supporters wouldn't support Obama in the general but after months of campaigning by McCain and Obama, I'm sure die-hard Dems will feel differently come November.
Vote for change 2008.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!
oh dear.
It's about time —- but first let's applaud Hill for her self absorbed run — the question is now can the party over come that damage she has done?!?!?
For all the dumb asses who talk about the popular vote - you need to get a fucking clue… the primary is decided by delegates period. Another Clinton lie. Repeat… Another Clinton lie! More importantly, she does not a popular vote lead as recognized by an objective analysis.
Just like the smoking ads….check out the truth! www.realclearpolitics.com
\
wow Perez that must have been really hard for you to say… I totally agree. The longer Hilary stays in the race the more divided the Democratic Party becomes.
UR starting to get on my nerves perez. for real.
The fact of the matter is that the math shows that she will not win the nomination.
It's admirable that she is dedicated to her supporters, but drawing this out will not benefit the Democratic Party.
Hypothetically speaking, if she decides to run as Independent, as someone mentioned. This will further divide Democratic voters and McCain will most certainly win.
But if she steps out and rallies for the sake of the Party, there is a very good possibility that Obama will beat McCain.
GET REAL PEOPLE. IF YOU SAY YOU ARE REPUBLICAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE ASS BACKWARDS TRADITION YOUR PARENTS BELIEVE IN. I LIVE IN NYC AND IT IS SCARY HOW EVERYTHING BUSH/REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE HAS AFFECTED THE ENTIRE US/THE WORLD. I NEVER THOUGHT THE ECONOMY AND GAS PRICES AND THE FALLING DOLLAR WOULD VISIBLY CHANGE NYC BECAUSE NONE OF US DRIVE AND WE ARE NOT SEEING MASS HOME FORCLOSURES SINCE MOST OF US PAY RENT. I WILL SAY THAT NOT ONLY ARE PEOPLE SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS ALL ACROSS AMERICA BUT THEY ARE GIVING THEM UP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE GAS TO DRIVE THEM. AND IN "UNTOUCHABLE" NYC THE EUROPEAN AND ASIAN TOURISTS (ALTHOUGH WE WELCOME THEIR $$ FOR NYC TOURISM) ARE COMING IN MASSES AND BUYING UP ALL OF THE EMPTY NEW REAL ESTATE THAT NEW YORKERS CAN'T AFFORD. WHY IS AMERICA SUDDENLY POOR? PLEASE VOTE OBAMA AND BALANCE OUT THIS HUGE PROBLEM IN THE US. CHANGE WILL BE A POSITIVE ONE!!
she should stay in— I will not vote 4 obama!!!!!!!! I would rather vote 4 Mcain–
WHAT?!?!? Perez, it is most certainly not clear yet. Hillary should stay until it is, she is clearly the best choice, and she'll make an excellent president. Every American should have a chance to vote, it isn't really a democracy if they don't. And, Florida and Michigan should be counted without a doubt. Stick with what you know, gossip boy!
Holla!! Finally!
If Obama is our Democratic nominee I will be voting republican this election. AFter everything people can read on this guy and they still vote for him, he won't even wear an American flag pin, he has no clue God help us if he runs this country for four years. Still praying for a miracle with Hillary!!!
Hillary has more popular vote. Traitor!
…why Perez!
go Hillary go!
No Shame, No Gain
give me a good reason for obama. he is extremely anti-american.
Re: karen – oh karen read the facts about him, NOT the chain emails that spread lies because when you open your mouth and spew shit from it like this it really makes you seem unintelligent……
Hillary as VP all the way!
Nice to know that you jumped on Obama's bandwagon with all the rest of the misinformed Americains!
Re: Susie – You're an idiot! I guess you are what BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA refers to as educated. Show's the lack of education in our schools currently!!!! He will not debate, you can't say anything negative about him or you're a racist talking rehetoric! YOU ARE SO RIGHT,,, we haven't heard shit from Obama and that's the problem,,, a man without a plan, with no serious experience! Yep he didn't vote on the war….. and why….cause he wasn't there to vote!!!! Your ignorance is astonishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! America wake up,,,we need help, we're in trouble!
“If Hillary doesn’t win, I’ll vote for McCain, I don’t want to see a Black guy in office just because he’s cool”
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?????
That statement is so sickening and speaks volumes as to what America really stands for.
Six generations that were BORN here in the US and I’m actually considering leaving this country.
Our “citizens” are fucked in the head
How sad terribly sad and disturbing are we…
Why should she drop out? This is a race and it was meant to be finished! She and millions of people believe she's the best person for the job. Why should she give up? This is a democracy! Until someone wins the race, it's not over! No delegates pledge their votes until August and a lot can happen between now and then. Also, she's ahead in the popular vote, if you count Michigan and Florida. Otherwise, there's less than 1% difference in the popular vote between them. It's still too close to call! She will not drop out nor should she! And she deserves respect for staying in the race. She has genuine concern for this country and has truly made the world a better place. She will not give up on what's best for America! IT'S NOT OVER YET!!! GO HRC!!!
How did you get a chance to type this being that you've been busy in the middle of a circle jerk?
Fk your political opinions, Perez.
(Note, I did not say fk u)
When are people gonna realize that Obama doesn't have a chance against McCain? Clinton on the other hand would have a chance. Obama is just a little boy compared to the other two. I'm afraid that if Obama gets nominated then Clinton's supporters are gonna vote for McCain. Wake up America!
im from portland and i worked the Obama rally on Sunday. its clear who is the favorite considering we had 75,000 people attend this rally.
GO OBAMA! YES WE CAN!
Solid move Perez, it is time for the Democrats to join hands and remove the Republicans from office.
We need a change of pace, so we can watch a new face of corruption at work.
No matter which candidate from the money party wins (McCain or Obama) we and the world will loose.
As a woman, I am ashamed. Hillary is just power hungry and is being totally selfish. (And deceitful. . . I can't help but wonder what she is planning to do by staying on. Buying super delegates??) I am a republican, so I should be rejoicing over how she is splitting her party, but I actually care about this country, and am saddened to see these two going at it like they are. . . It takes aways from their stances, ya know? Shame on you Hill!! But as McCain said on SNL this past weekend. . . "Keep on fighting amongst yourselves, all the way to November."
Re: bwahaha – A lot of people in Illinois have a southern accent. Do you want more of your arguments debunked?
Don’t you hate people who CHEAT? The difference with her is she does it in-your-face with a straight face. No wonder people dislike her. She has a very powerful influence in turning men into misogynist. Gee, I wonder when was the last time Billy boy made love to her.
Why is it NOW time, Perez? Nothing is different between now and a month from now… your recognition that now is the time is really recognition that it has been the time for a long time.
Re: Mayra –
change
Never…Obama is a sexist egotistical pig and his wife is an ugly bitch. I will work and vote McCain to keep that douchebag out of the White House. It'd be nice if someone shot him already…
It's about damn time you said it ! Woo Hoo Go Perez !
NOOOOOOOOO!! Hillary for president and not that weak little Obama!!
Re: heather – Well then he is staying true. Perez originally backe Obama.
I think she gave it the old college try and shes been a great contender. as an Obama supporter i hope she does whats right after she drops out. GET ON TE TICKET!!
HILLARY 2008!!!!
She has not stopped fighting for us so please do NOT stop fighting for her!!!!
Fuck Hilary…
OBAMA ROCKS!
Re: Jeremy – Obama has crossed the required pledged delegates threshold. According to party rules, the nomination is his. Se acabó!
fickle, aren't we?!
weren't you just promoting Hillary as the best candidate, like, last week? We don't need the support of bitter queens anyway…
GO HILLARY!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I want HILLARY!
HILLARY LOST, OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE, GET OVER IT HILLBOTS, SHE WILL LOSE!
Re: Brian – The rules are, whatever candidate gets the majority of the pledged delegates, that person wins. At the beginning of the race, Nancy Pelosi and ALL the candidates agreed on it. They also had all the pundits repeat it during the rules meeting. Just like they all agreed FL and MI werent going to be counted. Now she doesnt want to count caucus states, isn't that disenfranachising voters too? The rules were set, and met, and the race is over.
Re: sweetcaroline82 – You are ashamed? Are you really a woman. Why don't we just discount all the good things she has done in the past. Alll the child welfare laws, all the legislative assistance she has provided, and the child welfare laws, on the board to impeach Nixon. Hilllary is far from selfish. Remember when women couldn't even vote. You should be the one ashamed and embarassed ! You great Republican!! Look at the mess you've got us in….and you are ashamed of HRC….get real….be ashamed of yourself! Hopefully you have children that willl suffer with the mess YOU supported! How can you even live with yourself and hold your head high!
Shame on you perez…..How do we say this delicately?……..Go on a diet and get a job that doesn't suck the life out of others so you can sit on your fat ass judging everyone else to make yourself look and feel better, I mean really….Have you looked in the mirror lately? And to top it off you were only on the Hillary wagon half ass…..
Just as it SHOULD be. When desperation leads to a democrat quoting Karl Rove you know things have gotten desperate. I mean, that's scraping the bottom what with him being a war criminal and all…
Perez, you could have waited another 2 weeks before making this declaration. She is still the best candidate for president. The only reason Barack has gone as far as he has was because Rolling Stone and Viacom and other phony media outlets that are the self-appointed voice of the Young & Progressive have given him an overwhelming endorsement.
Fuck you for buying into that yourself.
Re: Picking apart one at a time: – lol, yes please
im a registered Dem but I'll probably vote repub or not vote at all. Obama will be the downfall. He cannot be trusted and is pulling the wool over everyones eyes!! You really want a cousin of Dick Cheney in office? Go right ahead and vote for that shady man. I never thought i'd live to the day that i said i'd rather have a repub (mccain) in office!!
HILLARY 2008! WE DON'T JUST QUIT!!! WE FIGHT….SHES A FIGHTER AND CHAMPION FOR CHANGE
She needs to hang in there until FL and MI have a chance to vote.
The voters of those states shouldn't be penalized for the idiotic decisions of their so-called "leaders."
TO everyone writing about the popular vote: She only wins the the popular votes= count if you include Florida and Michigan and EXCLUDE all the caucus states! If she is so worried about peoples votes not being counted, why is she trying to exclude all the caucus states?! Weather Caucusing is fair or not, she didnt complain about them until she started losing them all. She keeps wanting to change the rules people, wake up!
Re: Not Until FL and MI are Figured Out – Leaders they put in office. That is why people need to take elections more seriously. These people are making decision for them.
I'm proud of you Perez!!!
The day anyone with any sense starts listening to your political opinions, I'll know the end is near. Keep your ignorant politics to yourself - no one else cares.
"Should Obama end up winning his party's nomination, he will give his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on August 28 — 45 years to the day Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. "
Admitted Lies
• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)
I'm never logging on to your website again. Hopefully others will follow and you'll lose all your advertisers and your empire. Just like we'll lose the American Empire if that inexperienced, vacuous smug asshole gets elected president.
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!
She is making a fool of herself and destroying the party. It is like she can not stop. Thank God she did not get into office, she is out of control. Pathetic to watch.
Re: no nappys in the white house – #185—-SAD SAD SAD!!! Do us a favor and wake up !!! Racism is dying and the country will be better for it! Know that you are one of the last of a dying breed….
AMERICA WILL NOT VOTE FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT. THEY ARE HELPING OBAMA WIN SO MCAIN CAN BE PRESIDENT. OUR GOVERNMENT IS SNEAKY. THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THE BUSH B.S.
Re: MsLov – This is clear proof, that the issues mean nothing to you. Why would you vote for someone's whose party stands the complete opposite of Hillary and her party (Democrats)?
fuk the dems, the american hatting gay luvin bastards
omg perez. im SOOO disappointed in you. how could u possibly say that. the last primary is only a few weeks away. im soooo sick of the sexist attitudes, i would expect more from you. im so tired of everyone accusing senator clinton of "dividing the party"! the clintons have dedicated the last 15 years to making the party what it is today. she has worked tirelessly and has more than paid her dues to earn the nomination in 08. obama had no right to "cut in line" if anyone is to blame for dividing the party, its him. it wasnt his turn. he sabatoged the best chance we have to put a minority in the white house. President Clinton was absolutely right in stating that it is just a fairy tale. mccain will win. Hillary 2012!!!!!!!!!
HELLS YES, PEREZ YOU SAID IT.
BARACK OBAMA 08! CANT STOP HIM BITCHZ
I disagree. Hillary has won some big states lately. Are you trying to say those people don't matter? I'm tired of people telling me that I MUST rally around Obama if I'm a good democrat. That's stupid. It's comments like that that make me want to vote for McCain.
If it's not gonna be Hiliary representing our party, then just like many other democrats, I will vote for McCain! I'd never vote for Obama. He's a racist and his talk of 'change' is ridiculous. GO HILL!
What good is 35 years of experience, if when you come up to the most important vote in your career (the vote on the Iraq war), you get it wrong!
I'm a traitor..I voted Obama, but after the whole Geraldine Ferraro incident, I'm now on Hilary's side…they just dont know it and a lot of people I have talked to now feel the same…she needs to stick with it!
well said!!!
Well now I am gonna do to you like I did to Move On .org and NARAL - this is the last email, click, I am deleting your website from my favorites. This whole Obama thing will be a huge catastrophe for our country. I am sure Bush will invade IRAQ before he leaves office and we will be screwed if Obama is in there. This country for the third election is a row is crazy and gonna be really sorry! Good luck in your future endeavors.
fuck obam bin laden, hes the one that needs to drop out
WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to jump aboard the opinion bandwagon! Eff u and eff Obama! I'm also dropping out of this race…with my vote.
You guys need to make up your mind
and how is it pretty clear who America has chosen , i thought they were still neck in neck
always bashing the women
you're not any different after all Perez
go hillary!!!..it aint over yet…dont be a quitter
Re: Jenny – What about the 30 plus states he won, do those matter?
go to hell perez!
