Sen. Leahy Calls for Clinton to Quit Race March 29, 2008; Page A4 Sen. Patrick Leahy told Vermont Public Radio he believes it is time for Sen. Hillary Clinton to drop out and let Sen. Barack Obama win the Democratic presidential nomination. "There is no way that Sen. Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination," said Sen. Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee. "She ought to withdraw, and she ought to be backing Sen. Obama. Now, obviously that's a decision that only she can make. Frankly, I feel that she would have a tremendous career in the Senate." The Vermont senator, who endorsed Sen. Obama in January, also voiced concerns that the protracted Democratic nomination fight was benefiting Republicans. Sen. Leahy said Sen. John McCain, expected to be the Republican nominee, "has been making one gaffe after another" but that he is getting a "free ride" because of the attention focused on the Clinton-Obama fight. Sen. Clinton has shown no indication that she is close to dropping out of the race. The Clinton campaign says it will continue the nomination fight to the convention if necessary, and her campaign hasn't relented in its push to seat the delegates stripped from Florida and Michigan. The New York senator won both contests there. Campaigning at Mishawaka High School in South Bend, Ind., Friday, Sen. Clinton said that some party members had been saying "we really ought to end the primary, we ought to shut it down." The crowd responded with shouts of "No! No! No!" online.wsj.com Even the Senator who could not keep a secret has abandoned the first First Lady to ever be deposed in a criminal investigation. She is lost.
