Senator Barack Obama won the North Carolina primary Tuesday night with a 14-point lead over Senator Hillary Clinton. Obama’s decisive victory in North Carolina boosted his lead, inching him closer to the Democratic presidential nomination.

Senator Clinton saw a narrow victory in Indiana last night, garnering 51 percent of the vote. She now faces what seems to be the impossible feat of surpassing Obama’s lead in convention delegates and the popular vote. However, Clinton vowed to push on to next week’s primary in West Virginia and contests later this month in Kentucky and Oregon.

Tell us: Should Clinton drop out of the race and concede the nomination to Obama, or should she keep campaigning to the end? Share your thoughts below.

Through out this race thus far, Senator Obama has proven himself to be confident,chrasmatic, dignified and knowledgeable. He has held his head up inspite of the Rev. Wright controversey and the race card jabs. Sen. Clinton should maintain some dignity and leave the race and support Obama. the only reason that she is still hanging on is because she cannot believe that she is actually being beaten by this African American. I call that subtle racism.

Presidential candidate Barack Obama has demonstrated poise,class,and a positive attitude throughout the entire campaign. It is time for senator Clinton to quit the race,refrain from utilizing negative comments, and support Obama.

-Victory Will Prevail

Senator Clinton can stay in the race until June 3rd! The longer she stays in, the more delegates Senator Obama acquires from the remaining contests which will bring the total delegates needed for the nomination possibly under 100 and then he will only need 100 of the remaining super delegates. He only needs 156! Go OBAMA!

Mainstream media seems obsessed with the fact that Obama isn't going after the so-called uneducated blue-collar white voters. Which are nothing more than racist voters. I think Obama realizes that he doesn't need those racist voters to become president. I think Hillary is giving mainstream media their talking points. That's sort of funny!

-onlythetruth

Senator Obama has definitely displayed grace under fire. Despite the difficult situations, personal attacks and unfair/biased media, he is taking it all in stride with a smile. Senator Clinton is exhibiting extreme denial. There is no way that she can win. How can someone who allows her emotions to dominate rather than her intellect be effective? It seems as if she thought this race would be handed to her, and so now she keeps pressing forward, hoping for a miracle that will not happen. More voters, morestates and more supe
