Is Hillary Just Trying to Outlast Huckabee?
McShame, at best, cannot lock his nomination until Mississippi votes on March 11th. Hucky has said he's in until someone gets the 1,191 needed to secure. If McShame sweeps every delegate on Tuesday, he still needs to take Mississippi to reach the magic number.

Is Hillary staying in to counter the pukes? As long as the Dems have a race, the pukes can't aim their fire with certainty. Sure, McShame has already focused in on Obama, but the RW smear machine has yet to take him on, they are still in Clinton-hating mode. Is Hillary waiting until Hucky concedes to the Old Man before she gives it to Obama?

2. I won't be surprised if she takes the same tactic as Huckabee
Staying in long after she has been mathematically eliminated. I still haven't figured out why Huckabee is doing it, aside from publicity, but I wouldn't put it past her.

3. I wouldn't either..
.. and that is testament to the low regard I have for her integrity.

If she doesn't win OH and TX, and still refuses to exit stage left, well we all know what that means.

4. No, Huckabee is running for "Leader of the Evangelical Movement"
Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 10:08 PM by theboss
He's in his own bizarre side election right now. His ultimate goal, I'm convinced, is the most complete list of Evangelical voters ever compiled, because he knows that the ONLY people voting for him are Evangelicals. He can use that list to build a PAC, start a magazine, start a ministry, or God knows what else.

Hillary, I believe, still thinks she can win the nomination.

Big difference between the two.

5. Oh definately a big difference,
I just thought that Hillary could be running some kind of interference until McShame is all alone.

7. yeah, at the moment, Hillary's position is much better than Huck's
the math isn't too good for either, but Hillary actually has a chance.
