is obama hurting Democratic party hopes in November by staying in the race?

Is he harmful to the party by not dropping out?

[in cen di ary is RED]

lol... what about Clinton?
reminds me of the time he responded to her asking him to be her VP... that was pretty funny.

I think they're both hurting the party... but since they seem to be pretty neck-to-neck... I doubt anyone of them will give up soon.

Yes. It's pretty clear that he's going to get the Dem nomination, when/if that happens a great many Hillary supporters will vote for McCain.

[nonotthat]

Yes. The Democrats are in one big mess now.
Maybe next time they'll know a little bit about their candidate before they fall head over heels in love with him/her.

And I'm cheering along with the Obama supporters. It's the best bet for the Republicans. lol

[vicsikix]

Newsflash: He's ahead. She's behind and her chances are dim to slim. She doesn't care whether she hurts the Dem. party, it's all about power and winning for her.

NO just like Hillary is not hurting the party by staying in

You're forgetting that these polls are just in the moment when things are heated

A nominee will be decided no matter what

And the nominee should be decided after ALL primaries take place
That decides even closer who has the higher tally in the popular vote

Girly Q,seriously you need to realize that they're BOTH polticians
I know it's hard to believe that Obama is too,but he is
This is a political campaign
Why else would you spend all this time,money,and energy trying to win?

Once Democrats see McCain and the Republicans for the douchebags they are then I doubt any SANE person would vote for McCain who by the way is not strong on the economy and he admitted it too!

[Fantasy Baseball Icon]

Yes..without a doubt. When push comes to shove...America will not vote a confirmed racist into the oval office.

[_Justice_]

why would you drop out and your winning... secondly his opponent (hillary) claims hes not capable as mccain yet wants him as a running mate? clintons irrationality has me voting for barack anyday

[ursaitaliano70]

Yes. It is almost impossible for him to get enough delegates
to reach the magic number needed for nomination.
