Reply #10: All of the arguments

[PATRICK]

for others to urge her to drop out are valid even if some are democratically objectionable in type. Everyone has a reason to end this unless they want the GOP to win.

Her practical position now is much worse than Humphrey or Mondale in both the nominating and general election(IMHO). In retrospect HHH had a horrific scramble to the nomination and savage wounds to his electability even as he danced in victory with little connection to the rioting Chicago police and mayor Daley and Ribicoff exchanging readable lipped obscenities on the floor. Still he came back with a more vital liberal party to nearly take the election. Like a sputtering shuttle that hits the strosphere then falls back to earth. He had a strong third party challenge from his own party too(George Wallace). And the bloody war ranged on into the Dick Nixon cloud. The conjunction of all madness tore into the heart of the entire party. The madness WE face is nearly entirely seated on Washington Avenue, free of most overt struggle and responsibility. Yet the real damage today is there, confined mostly to the GOP. Let's keep it there and excise it and end the MSM fun with a grim endgame.
