Lets be real
Hillary is done.

Barring some arcane switcheroo involving supers at the convention Hillary has no real shot at the nomination.

Of course this point will be lost on the MSM who is hell bent on having a horse race purely for the spectacle and the ratings that it will provide.

The question becomes what will cause Hillary to say "For the good of the country and for the good of the party, I will withdraw from the Democratic race for the Presidential nomination and use all of the resources at my disposal to insure our nominee will be victorious come November 4th."

1. Let's be real. If by some quirky reason, Clinton wins because
one of her shots work, how could she possibly show her face realistically, knowing so many people would be angry?

2. I agree with you, but the troubling thing is we all know the Clinton's... and we all know...
that she will stop at nothing to get the nomination.

4. You know something, I disagree
the primary seasons plays tricks on ones mind, Hillary is competing and despite making a few misteps like propping up Mcain I think at the end of the day she will do the right thing.

6. I sure hope that you are right... Cause I would not like to see the Democratic Party...
torn apart over this primary.

9. Because she doesn't have a conscience.
She cares nothing about anyone but herself. The nation be damned.

3. Her magic number is 62
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 10:44 PM by rocknation
That's the minimum percentage of the vote she has to come up with in ALL the remaining contests just to pull even.

And you're right--of course the MSM wants to keep the story going as badly as Hillary does.

7. What will cause her to quit the race?
When she believes she's damaged our nominee enough to impede his chances to win in the GE.

This is no longer about 2008, this is to keep 2012 a possibility, which it wouldnt be if Obama wins the Presidency this year.

Sorry, but thats the way I see it.
