Sen. Leahy calls for Clinton to drop out

The Vermont senator, a prominent superdelegate, says that 'there is no way' Hillary Clinton can win enough delegates to take the Democratic presidential nomination from Barack Obama.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) today called on Hillary Rodham Clinton to drop out of the presidential race, saying there is no way the New York senator can wrest the nomination from her rival Barack Obama.

"There is no way that Sen. Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination," Leahy, an Obama supporter, said in an interview with Vermont Public Radio this morning. "She ought to withdraw, and she ought to be backing Sen. Obama."

Saying Republican John McCain "has been making one gaffe after another [and] is getting a free ride," Leahy said the sniping between Democrats hurts them more than anything the Arizona senator has thrown their way.

Leahy was the first prominent superdelegate to call on the New York senator to withdraw, but his comments came on the same day that Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean urged superdelegates to make their preferences public.

"There's 800 of them, and 450 have already said who they're for," Dean said on CBS' "Early Show." "I'd like the other 350 to say who they're for at some point between now and the first of July so we don't have to take this into the convention."

Dean said he had warned both Obama and Clinton to avoid personal attacks that could damp voter turnout in the general election and douse Democrats' hopes of winning the White House.

"Personal attacks now often do have the seeds of demoralization later on," he said. "So I want to make sure this campaign stays on the high ground." Asked whether he had conveyed this message to the candidates and their campaign staffs, "I have done both ... I have good relationships with both candidates, and I think they would both be excellent presidents."

Clinton's campaign, in a fundraising e-mail to supporters today, noted a pattern to calls for her to withdraw.

"Every time our campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest we should end our pursuit of the Democratic nomination," said the note, which made no mention of Leahy. "Those anxious to force us to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think we're going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls we are, and they know we are in a position to win."

With the two senators battling for support from voters and superdelegates in the coming primaries, Obama picked up a new endorsement today from an unexpected source: Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), who had earlier said he would stay neutral until Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

"In a time of danger around the world and division here at home, Barack Obama can lead us.... He can help us heal America," Casey said at a rally at the University of Pittsburgh. Referring to the blistering campaign by Clinton, Casey said that Obama was tough, "especially under fire," and that the Illinois senator "has the kind of judgment that is steady in the eye of the storm. He's the kind of leader who's ready to be commander in chief."

As the Democrats slugged it out in a primary season that most political observers thought would already be wrapped up, McCain, who has already wrapped up the Republican nomination, unveiled his first general election ad. To be aired for now only in New Mexico, the biographical campaign spot chronicles his military service and calls him "the American president Americans have been waiting for."

Exactly, let's wrap this one up and start focusing on November.

Finally, hopefully this starts a flood of super delegates coming out for Obama and we can get on with the general election campaign. Enough of this infighting, Democrats are only hurting themselves.

Even if Hillary managed to wrangle enough super delegates to win the DNC spot, there is no way that she would have enough support to be elected in the big race. I wish the DNC would stop this stupid internal mud slinging before they turn off enough voters to lose regardless of which candidate is running.

In the pic, it looks like Sen. Leahy is doing an impression of the Fonz. :o)

I think all these people are missing the point. Hillary isn't in this to win any more, she's in it to make sure Obama doesn't win, so she can run again in 4 years.

The longer they go, the more insight we get into their Johari window.

"Every time our campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest we should end our pursuit of the Democratic nomination," said the note, which made no mention of Leahy. "Those anxious to force us to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think we're going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls we are, and they know we are in a position to win."

Oh, man - I'm curious, what strength and resilience has her campaign shown other than the ability to spin her "foot in the mouth gaffes" as "modern dance interpretations"?

As for being in a position to win - at what point does the Looney Bin call and have her commited for severe dementia and delusional behaviour?

Paging the Wizard of Oz, we have a Mrs. Hillary Clinton here to speak with you...

"Referring to the blistering campaign by Clinton, Casey said that Obama was tough, "especially under fire," and that the Illinois senator "has the kind of judgment that is steady in the eye of the storm. He's the kind of leader who's ready to be commander in chief."

Isn't it ironic that Hillary Clinton disproved her own argument that Obama "isn't tough enough"? She has thrown so many curve balls his way through her ugly campaign tactics that Obama got plenty of chances to prove his strength and eloquence under fire.

Where the ***** is Al Gore and why won't he do something?

Digg, I think we can clearly see that some group that's heavily biased for Hilary is sweeping the usually pro-Obama Digg.com

While I'm all for caring about your candidate (even though I suspect the last group was either a political organization or staff for Hilary), get this: they aren't running opposing parties and it's wasting good time for us to actually bury McCain rather then the opposite.

Hilary's wasting time and I don't like her ballgame of politics. Least Obama doesn't get too off-track of the issues and doesn't rip off competition to win votes in a last-ditch effort.

Instead of dividing the party even further by continuing this campaign that she cannot win, she should just side with Obama and just run as vice president. It would make America very happy IMO.

Lately, Hillary looks like she's about to have an "I Have a Scream" moment.

Now we see Hillary Clinton for who she really is!
She would rather see a Republican win the general election than see a RIVAL Democrat win!
This is nothing new. It's the root of the reason why Bill Clinton talked a dog off a meat wagon about being a new style of Democrat, then gave us more of the same old nonsense!

bitch doesnt listen

If you are pro choice or Pro abortion these music videos just might break your heart and (hopefully) change your mind.

Why would ANYONE listen to weirdo Leahy? He's consistently wrong and he looks as stupid as he comes across. Any who really cares anyway.
Obama and Hillary, the thought of EITHER becoming President is enough to scare the bejesus out of me.

All she is doing at this point is giving McCain a lot of extra time to campaign without an opponent.

Well I must admit to being a Republican and I hope they fight it out to the end. Im not a big McCain fan either but America needs to see Obama and what's her name for more than six-nine months of debating. The real character of these two will come out. On the flip side I don't know who I would vote for. Most likely Obama right now but I want a Green President and no where do I truly here this in their promises or vision.

OK Hillary haters. Here's an animated GIF for your viewing pleasure:
