Pundit on CNN Late Edition just said now ...

[The Ghost]

that senior democrats are talking about possibility of Hillary dropping out Tuesday night after West Virginia votes ....

[Pirate Smile]

1. Perfect. She leaves on a big win. I think that would be great.

[AllentownJake]

2. There goes Lucy with the football again

Hey guys I might stop my divisive scorched earth campaign

Just kidding. Fuck you all I'm going to the convention cackle.

[Mz Pip]

10. somehow

I think your description of what Hillary will do is dead on.

The only difference is that she has never said she's going to let Charlie Brown kick the football. It's her football goddamnit. They will have to pry it from her hands. Moving the goalposts hasn't worked. She's ready to take that football off the field and hide it somewhere.

[AllentownJake]

12. Yes we can

pry the football out of your fucking hands.

DC is a short drive...and if she decides to take this to the convention...the protest will start.

[Blarch]

22. Oh thats sweet. LOL

[KSinTX]

3. Departure with dignity

nt

[burythehatchet]

16. Is Dignity the name of her pet mouse?

[Yukari Yakumo]

23. That ship sailed Saturday. {nt}

uguu

[BklynChick]

4. who was it?

[my3boyz]

7. The pundit? Jessica Yellin (sp?)nt

[my3boyz]

5. She added that they had not approached the Clinton campaign abt it though.

If she doesn't agree I think Obama will released a big chunk of SD's that approach what she will net out of the state. I think that would blunt any momentum that she gets from the state because she will essentially be in the same place as before WV.

[AllentownJake]

6. Other thought

Float this rumor so ratings don't tack for Tueday nights coverage.

[my3boyz]

8. Ha! Yup...that could be it. lol nt

[Exilednight]

9. I heard Hill's surrogate say "How can win in the GE if he can't win in WV?" ...........

Someone needs to ask him; "How can she win in the GE when she can't win in the primaries?"

[Mz Pip]

11. Next it will be

"How can he win the GE if he can't win Puerto Rico?" Sigh.

[whatchamacallit]

13. I doubt it, after her racist win in WV, she'll put her "white fright" campaign into high gear

:banghead: :puke:

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. CBS radio news said she will quit the race after WV... I reported this yesterday

I heard it in the hourly CBS radio news late afternoon driving home from the Park.
They said it came from 'Democratic insiders from both camps'

[gblady]

15. wouldn't that be....

a blessing!

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. I didn't buy it but it is nice to hear it from another source

Who knows? I feel like I'm watching a play with all the elements of a Greek Tragedy with
the Clintons.


In Greek tragedy, the concept of hamartia as an error in judgment or unwitting mistake is applied to the actions of the hero. For example, the hero might attempt to achieve a certain objective X; by making an error in judgment, however, the hero instead achieves the opposite of X, with disastrous consequences.

Aristotle cites the example of Oedipus<1>, who acts to prevent the fulfillment of the prediction that he would kill his father and marry his mother, but by his actions instead causes those very things to happen.

In other cases, a hero might undertake an action with no real objective in mind, but which has disastrous consequences unforeseen by the hero;

Aristotle cites the example of Thyestes, who attends a banquet to reconcile with his brother Atreus, not knowing that he is being fed his own children. In terms of plot mechanics, the hero's hamartia is the cause of his peripeteia, or reversal of fortune.


According to Aristotle, "the structure of the best tragedy should be not simple but complex and one that represents incidents arousing fear and pity--for that is peculiar to this form of art."

This reversal of fortune must be caused by the tragic hero's hamartia, which is often mistranslated as a character flaw, but is more correctly translated as a mistake (since the original Greek etymology traces back to hamartanein, a sporting term that refers to an archer or spear-thrower missing his target)

. According to Aristotle, "The change to bad fortune which he undergoes is not due to any moral defect or flaw, but a mistake of some kind." It is also a misconception that this reversal can be brought about by a higher power (e.g. the law, the gods, fate, or society), but if a character’s downfall is brought about by an external cause, Aristotle describes this as a misadventure and not a tragedy.
