They're being good surrogates (5.00 / 1) (#28)

I don't begrudge them that.

I disagree (5.00 / 5) (#32)

Nobody associated with the Obama campaign should be calling for Hillary to drop out.

No question it's a bad strategy (5.00 / 1) (#36)

but they're carrying the message given. . .

Not necessarily true (none / 0) (#46)

Nobody else is saying it.  

Big-shot surrogates tend to go off on their own from time to time.  See Ferraro, Geraldine; Richardson, Bill; Rendell, Ed.

Quit? (5.00 / 2) (#60)

Nobody else is saying it.

Except for the pro-Obama MSM and netroots.  With thousands of demi-surrogates talking up the point, Big-shot ones aren't quite as necessary.

Blurring the distinction between the campaigns and their unaffiliated supporters.

Not My Intention (none / 0) (#164)

to blur those lines, but the fact remains that very powerful news organizations, having much influence on the perception of the electorate, has been calling for Hillary to quit prematurly.  I don't think it's wrong to point that out in a discussion about how voter's should decide.

But shouldn't they be good Democrats first? (5.00 / 1) (#63)

...At least Dean is seeing that. And if the Democratic leadership wants me to be a good little soldier and vote for the candidate I don't now support...they need to lead by example.

begrudge anyone who claims to be a Democrat and then works to thwart democracy.  Of course, it's not hard to figure out why Dodd is sweating bullets.  He voted with the Republicans to impeach one of his own.  Traitor.
