That's pretty smart thinking. Maybe too smart. I'd take the win now just to be on the safe side.

A-yup. Clinton's supporters are going to be pissed if she drops out anytime before the whole thing is over. Best case scenario: Hillary stays in but cools down the criticisms of/attacks on Obama and then gracefully bows out after Puerto Rico. That's the last one, right?

Is it really selfish of me, as an Oregon voter, to want Clinton to stay in until after our primary so I can believe my primary vote really did matter this time? It'll probably never happen again.

No, Jo, it's your right to want to participate in choosing the next President.

Especially after people in Washington state drove all the way down to Oregon to help register people to vote.

garner enough superdelegate commitments this week, so that Oregon can push Obama past 2,024. That way, it isn’t the supers who clinch it for Obama, but actual voters.
Um, what?
BTW, I'm not fond of crowds, so I didn't go to a caucus, I just filled out my mail in ballot, so I'm one "actual [WA] voter" who had no effect on the primary, but I do get to vote in the general. Anyone have a list of super delegates who will be up for reelection anytime soon?

@6 - The reasoning being, the super delegates come together to bring his delegate total to 2023, and then Oregon votes. So the voters get the last word, and thus are the Deciders.

a primary candidate doesn't concede when they lose a primary, they concede a few days later when the realize they will run out of money if they continue. HRC won't concede until she is out of money.

South Dakota and Montana are last on June 3rd. Puerto Rico changed to June 1st.

I was hoping she would concede as well. She's too obsessed with taking her place in history, and not looking at what is best for her party and for the country.

I lost respect for Hillary right after 911. I remember that it took a long time for her to make a public appearance. I felt it was an important time for her to be a leader. She was absent for too long.

I also remember watching her on TV when Bush did his first speech after 911. I'm not a Bush fan at all, but it was a time when the country needed to come together.
I noticed her rolling her eyes when Bush spoke. It really rubbed me the wrong way.

#6, #7, which frankly is kind of a BS distinction.
