Barack Obama gives Hillary Clinton permision to stay in the race
Even though many Barack Obama supporters are are demanding that Hillary Clinton drop out of the race and let their candidate run unopposed for the Democratic nomination, Obama has announced that Clinton may stay in the race.
“My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants. Her name is on the ballot and she is a fierce and formidable competitor,” said Obama, adding that the notion that Democrats have been split by the prolonged nominating contest “is somewhat overstated.”
Hopefully this will put an end to the shrill whine demanding that Hillary Clinton quit. At this point, it’s mathematically impossible for either candidate to get the needed delegates to lock in the nomination before the Democratic National Convention. That means the superdelegates will be deciding at the convention who the candidate will be. Not now. At the convention.
