Time for her to leave.
The odds are againist her.
We need to get on and get our party going.
What a waste of money.
She could never be a long shot winner.
Look!I liked her,but we need to get this going so that we
Can beat The old man.
Hope this will be over soon.
I have a gut feeling,she is going to step down.
Will see.

Please Hillary step down,so we can get some work done.
Maybe they will listen to us.

The TV talkers are screaming for her head. Election math makes the possibility of her success more and more remote. Her win in Indiana was close; her loss in North Carolina was big. She's short on cash. Yesterday, former senator George McGovern defected from her camp to Sen. Barack Obama's and urged her to admit defeat.

And yet . . . Obama hasn't won.

Scads of super-delegates have yet to announce their intentions.

A handful of states (not to mention Puerto Rico) have yet to hold their nominating contests, and Clinton is expected to win several handily.

The party has yet to figure out what happens to Florida and Michigan.

And as long as the campaign has gone on, there's still plenty of time between now and November for the Democrats to come together around their nominee and turn their attention to beating Republican John McCain.

Our advice to Clinton is this: Tune out the naysayers and keep on going.

Our advice to Democrats and other political junkies who are weary of the campaign and desperate for an end: Turn off the TV news talk shows. Go outside and enjoy the spring air. Let the voters of West Virginia and Oregon have their say. Soon enough, the general election campaign will be here.

And by the way: Stop fretting about the damage to the party. All things considered, the race hasn't been nearly so ugly or bitter as some would have you think. With a handful of exceptions, these are two candidates who basically agree on the direction they'd like to take the country.

Back in what now feels like the Ice Ages before the New Hampshire presidential primary, we endorsed Clinton for the Democratic nomination, acknowledging that it was, happily, a difficult choice between her and Obama. We still believe she's better prepared for the job; we still believe he, too, would make a good president.

In many ways, the long campaign has been good for the Democrats.

Voters in all corners of the country who never paid much attention to their party primaries - because candidates never paid much attention to them - are now engaged. New voters have registered in droves, many of them passionate about their chosen candidate.

If Obama is the eventual nominee, he will be a better candidate for the long audition voters have put him through. He's tougher than he was when he started. He's better known, too. His vulnerabilities - chief among them his albatross of a pastor - have been chewed over. From his point of view, better to get that out of the way now than in the fall.

The long campaign has also given Democrats more time to think through the troubling divides the primary results have exposed: black voters and liberals voting for Obama, working class voters and Hispanics for Clinton. It's become pretty easy to predict who will win each contest; what's harder to see is what these results mean for the general election.
