The calls being made to get Sen. Clinton to drop out of the Democratic nomination race are outrageous. She has more than proven that she is a formidable contender. She’s almost neck and neck with Sen. Obama. I could understand and support calls for her to call it a day if she were significantly low on the delegate count, but the fact of the matter is, she is not. She is so far holding her own at the moment. Throughout the race so far, she’s been able to bounce back and stay competitive. I sometimes ask myself if Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama's positions were switched would people be asking him to drop out. Nevertheless she has the right as an American to continue her quest for the nomination.
People are trying to make the argument that the race for the Democratic nomination is tearing the party apart, I disagree. I think its drawing people into the process that would not have otherwise participated. We are seeing an increase in African American voters and younger people taking an interest and getting involved. I think it’s a great thing for the party and the process as a whole. Although the candidates need to stay focused on the topics and do away with all the distractions such as the personal jabs at each other.
