Frank Wants "Trailing" Dem. Out June 3rd

Democratic presidential contenders Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are still duking it out.

Yesterday Senator Clinton released an ad taking on Obama's "bitter" remark, which spurred Obama to release one of his own, which we've included above. Says Obama's announcer: "There's a reason people are rejecting Hillary Clinton's attacks. Because the same old Washington politics won't lower the price of gas or help our struggling economy." All this fighting's giving us a headache – and Barney Frank, too.

The homo-politico voiced his grievances yesterday, saying that the "trailing" candidate should drop out by June 3rd:

…Frank said the trailing Democratic presidential candidate should drop out of the race by no later than June 3 — the date of the two last Democratic primaries — even if it is the candidate he supports, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"Probably sooner," the Massachusetts congressman added in an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. He suggested that the trailing candidate should drop out once it became clear that candidate had no remaining practical chance of winning the nomination.

Please, please let it be "sooner." This shit's making us bitter.

Meanwhile, we've included the aforementioned Obama ad after the jump…

I'm loving that Barack Obama ad. It's not as bitter or as desperate as the Clinton ad is, and it features one of Obama's trademark, uplifting quotes at the end. Nice.

Also, I agree with Barney Frank!

June 3 is too late. April 3 was too late. I'm bitterly bitter. These two squabblers have just about handed the presidency to 1000-year McCain. If ever there was a case to get rid of the Democrats method selecting candidates, this is it.

Why didn't Queerty mention that Barack still clings to his lie that he doesn't take money from lobbyists?

I live in Indiana, and we have never had a primary where our votes count! We do not vote yet till next month. Usually by this time the rest of the country has already decided who I will be voting for in November. This could all be eliminated if all primaries were held within one month. That way everyone's vote would count every year. Everyone could stay in the race till the end. And alot less money would be spent on the primaries and saved for the actual election. This year we will have a good turn out only because in the Demacratic race there actually are two people to vote for and not just one. Let's hold all the primaries early within one month and spend the rest of the time attacking the Repug's instead of each other!

I think they should both remain in the contest until the Democratic Nominating Convention.

I'm about ready to move to a parliamentarian system. No Imperial Presidency, and three-month election seasons. Or a system like France's, with bits of each thrown in.
