I would agree that she should not (nor would she) get out of the race, in spite of the fact that CNN reporters think she should.

Funny that CNN thought that people would vote for Obama because he is the underdog and then said he was ahead in the race, how can he be booth? Because people percieve black people as underdogs?

It appears in the polls that Clinton will win Penn. The biggest role that discrimination will play will come from the Mexican-American voting block because black neighborhoods and spanish neighborhoods have had a tribal conflict going on (for a long time) and in some states Mexican Americans make up a large percentage of voting resources. And the two races do not trust or like each other very much. Thus, Clinton by default would get most of the Mexican American votes.
I do not think that "unseen" spanish voting block is being looked at by those who make predictions.
I took that into account, but there is an overt racial overtone in this thread and I didn't want a lefty calling me a racist. But it you look at the stats the only state/country that has a significant Latino population is Puerto Rico!

Now many of the younger white voters would vote Obama and I do not think that race would have anything to do with their choice. Some white Christians might not like his religious ties anymore, so he could
loose some of his flock over that.
Young voters might have tired of the race and they have typically not been a strong turn out force.

So it might be up to the Superdeligates to try to figure out who stands the best chance of competing with McCain. That is hard to determine because some of them are... frankly.... nit wits.
Yep it will come down to the anti-Democratic Democrat primary voting system. Forget the will of the people we can vote for who we want to vote for!
