Jimmy Carter says the time is coming for Hillary Clinton to drop out
It's one thing when current politicians and friends endorse you for president, or say you shouldn't be running anymore. It's another thing when the party elders (who aren't your husband) say it's over. Jimmy Carter came out today saying after the primary season is over in June, it's time for Hillary Clinton to drop out of the democratic race. And next to Al Gore and Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter is the party elder.
Jimmy Carter also said "A lot of the super-delegates will make a decision announced quite rapidly, after the final primary on June 3". This is new and encouraging news, and it tells us there have been talks going on among party insiders about when they're going to end Hillary's race for the White House. "I have not yet announced publicly, but I think at that point it will be time for her to give it up", Carter added.
Jimmy Carter is himself a super-delegate who has yet to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Obviously that's going to change in the next two weeks. I think within 24 hours after the Puerto Rico primary, Jimmy Carter and possibly Al Gore will lead the way in endorsing Barack Obama. And 48 hours after that, enough other super-delegates will have endorsed Barack Obama too that he will have enough delegates to claim the to be the democratic nominee for President.
"I'm a super-delegate, having been president before, and I think that a lot of us super-delegates will make a decision... quite rapidly, after the final primary on June 3. I think at that point it will be time for her to give it up".
