Hillary Clinton scored a big victory in Puerto Rico on Sunday after suffering a setback at the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on Saturday. Barack Obama appears poised to claim his party's nomination after Tuesday's Montana and South Dakota primaries. Calls are building for Hillary Clinton to exit the race this week. She says that she has won more votes and has not ruled out fighting straight through to the convention. What should she do? Post your thoughts below.

The question of the Clinton Dynasty has been answered loudly, NO MORE. Anyone who thinks that Hillary and Bill with all their inside DC contacts would "change" anything need their head examined, or are just unwilling to admit the truth (I guess the Chinese delegation won't be staying in the Lincoln Bedroom in the future as they so often did under Bill "I will not coddle to dictators" Clinton). If Hillary were the VP, and I were Obama, I would have a food tester in the White House, and would send Bill as our envoy to Brazil (I think he'd enjoy himself there anyway!)

I believe in the power of the people. However, as deceiving as the government has made it we are no longer depending on what the little people decide. We are awaiting a dictatorship in which none of us will be free enough to go to the local deli around the corner. I think Mrs. Clinton should take another route all together. I believe she should run as an independent. We all will be there to back her up and just maybe this time an Independent with morals and a desire to help the people will be the next president. So I say FIGHT ON MRS. CLINTON. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU AND SO ARE OUR CHILDREN.

As for Obama I am pretty sure he is a plot that the Republicans have put to run against McCain so that we would end up with the worlds oldest president.
