Does Clinton really believe she would win?

[skoods]

Ah, my first post on these boards...I was an Edwards supporter turned Clinton supporter who will now support whomever the Democratic nominee is (of course it will be Obama).

I think she personally knows it's 98% likely that she will not win the nomination. However, she is going to stay in until every state/territory votes to better herself for the future or maintain leverage for the VP position.

She knows that there is no point in dropping out now since there are only a few states left and she might as well stay in. I think she'll drop out late next week once most of the Supers have chosen their candidate.

She will then campaign for Obama should she not be the VP nominee and do her best to put on a smile despite how painful she must be feeling inside. I truly do believe that she will be the Senate Majority Leader pretty soon.

Don't worry Obama supporters, she won't take it to the convention.

Welcome!

Thanks! I came to the main site probably around the time of the 2004 election but haven't been back and have never seen the forums. As a poli sci student and an avid fan of politics (hope to one day represent Mass. in some form of public service) I am excited to see a bipartisan site such as this one that has some open minded people. All the other sites i've been to are too vicious if you don't support their preferred candidate.

Welcome! So, what made you support Clinton and not Obama after Edwards drop out?

Health Care has always been my most important issue. With the need for it to be Universal. I felt as though both Senator Edwards and Senator Clinton had the best Health Care plans to fit my ideals. Also, after eight years of Bush, I had Bill Clinton remorse haha.

I also honestly have not really bought the whole hope and dreams act that Obama puts on. I think it's a great way to rally support and a great campaign method but I really don't understand what makes him an agent of change moresoe than Hillary, Edwards, Biden, Dodd etc. But, in the end, I will support him as my parties nominee. The last thing I want to see is a McCain presidency with $10 gas, no more abortions, wars with Iran and probably Jamaica, and a whole lot of tax cuts for the wealthy.

Go Dems!
