What Do You Think? Should Hillary Clinton quit the presidential race?
Should Hillary Clinton quit the presidential race?
"I'm conflicted about that. I've been an Obama supporter but I think she has the right to campaign until the convention. I don't know if that's in the best interest of the party but what matters is how she runs her campaign. If she starts taking cheap shots at Obama, that could damage his campaign in the general election and that would be bad."

"Yes. I don't think the numbers add up to her feasibly carrying the nomination anymore. I think that in Indiana she only won by 2 percent, so I don't think she has any momentum left. I think staying in the race over the long run would hurt Democrats overall."

"Yes. I wanted to vote for her in the beginning, but I think she should back down now and focus more on Barack and the fall campaign. I think she would make a nice vice president. She's got political game but I think Barack has got the presidency now. Democrats need to be focusing more on beating McCain."

"I think she should stay in, it's not over -- why should she give up? I think what will happen is the convention is going to be deadlocked and Al Gore will ride in and say, 'I can save you.' That's not a good thing but (Hillary) will run as vice president, Gore will serve one term and step aside for her."

"I think she is staying in to run for vice president with Obama. I think it's a little overblown to say her continuing to run is hurting the party's chances in November. She's proving herself now and will be good for the ticket this fall."
