Anybody whose last name wasn't Clinton would have been forced out long ago, like after the Potomac Primary.

She didn't drop out because she is nothing if not tenacious. But being an icon of the Democratic Party married to an icon of the Democratic Party kept her in the race long after anyone else, male for female, would have been completely abandoned by superdelegates in the interests of Party unity.
