Clinton Out With Ad Signaling She Will Stay In Race

There has been speculation that Hillary Clinton might drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination following today's primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, even as Clinton herself has insisted that she will fight on.

Now her campaign has released a new ad in South Dakota, where voters don't have their say until June 3rd. It's a signal that Clinton has no plans to leave the race anytime soon – one that the campaign underlines in its press release touting the ad, which notes that the spot "comes two weeks before South Dakota voters head to the polls."

The 30-second ad, "Falling Through," opens with a shot of Clinton giving a speech.

"The Bush economy is like a trapdoor," Clinton says. "Too many families are one pink slip, one missed mortgage payment, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything."

"The oil companies, the predatory student loan companies, the insurance companies and the drug companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them," she continues. "I intend to be a president who stands up for all of you."

The Dems not choosing Hillary would be a huge mistake. If they go with Obama they will loose. I have voted Dem since 1980 but this year if Obama is the nominee I will go with McCain. Obama is too far left and too inexperienced.

Obama%u2019s campaign says the staggering numbers that Clinton received in West Virginia and Kentucky %u201Caren%u2019t meaningful%u201D because Obama spent very little time in West Virginia or Kentucky and they say when he does campaign the numbers will move up accordingly. Unsound. His campaign spent HEAVILY and advertised HEAVILY in OREGON---remember the crowds 75,000 at one location---in our faces on the news, yet he only managed to TIE Clinton with the white collar workers and the college crowd. This should be sending a SUPER MESSAGE to the DNC unless they want a candidate that is going to LOSE the Election in NOVEMBER.

The DNC is counting on Hillary%u2019s followers to go to Obama but they will not! They will not follow this man who is deceiving the country. The feelings are strong and growing stronger by the day. Barack Hussein Obama will fail in the November Election and it is a sure thing.

For sure she''s not giving up! She just told supporters in KY that they did''nt give up on her and she will never give up on them. Same message as when she told Bill in the Monica affair. Even now, while her chances are almost gone, she will fight the bitter fight to the end. Destroy the rest of the world, but see, "I''m a fighter" and will do anything to get there regardless of the unsurmountable mountains and the destruction of everything else. Who would want this kind of a personality to lead, ever? More dangerous than GW and Cheney combined. Flatten everything in my wake as long as I am standing alone (with the other destructor, Bill, of course.)

You go girl!!! HIllary deserves the nomination as she is the best candidate and if 90% of blacks would really think about the issues and experience then she would have gotten some of their votes. Much of their support is soley based on his race which is a type of racism. In my book, he is as white as he is black. Infact he is more white as he was raised in the white culture.

Why should she get out? Clinton has never been a quitter and always the fighter. Just because she''s the girl in the race is no reason for her to acquiesce her effort and be subservient to the boy candidate! It ain''t over ''til it''s over!!

This whole process shows how lucky we are that Hillary will not become President. She is, as proclaimed, a fighter, but to have no ability to recognize when you are defeated or to compromise to move things forward some in the direction you want it to go is a serious character flaw. My way or the highway doesn''t get it done in Washington - thankfully america recognizes that fact and has declined to put her into office to create 4 years of total stagnation.

I have read some posts and one in particular says: " I will vote for a woman for something new and fresh" Give me a break! Buy a piece of fruit if you want fresh- New? How about doing something differant for yourself and not depending on the President to make changes happen for you. Clinton has lost she is just a sore loser- Obama is NOT QUALIFIED. Sorry, folks, facts are facts.
