So stop talking nonsense about her dropping out.

She's in it till at least Feb 5th and is already working the absentee ballots in California AGGRESSIVELY. There has been a plan for months on what to do if Iowa did not go well and they are putting it into action.

If she wins a few big states like NY and California and has enough delegates to have a fight over super delegates, she'll be in it all the way till the convention if necessary.

She is in it to win it.

2. And when she loses New Hampshire you will be spinning some more...
The die-hard Hillary fans are really laughable right now.

3. Maybe it's wishful thinking.
She can't beat "my" candidate if she drops out, right?

4. Do you honestly think that her claiming victory..
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 07:55 PM by Wolsh
with super delegates instead of actual votes would be a good strategy for her? There would be a revolt for the base.

6. if neither her nor Obama get a majority of delegates from the primaries
Then going after the superdelegates is fair.

7. Someone will have a majority
The whole process is rigged so that there's not a contested convetion.

Conventions are little more than beauty pageants/pep rallies these days.

9. Tar and feather: well, I suppose that that would be a new fashion statement.
And the MSM obsesses on fashion when it's a woman in the spotlight.

Screw the supporters and the money, the assumption is that she's in it, at least until she were to clearly have no chance.

The same is likely with Edwards and Obama.
