TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET

Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!

"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."

Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."

Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state. But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

Sounds like the Clinton machine’s strategy to create a second coming of the “Comeback Kid”.

NEVER trust anything coming from ANY source associated with the Clintoons.

Don't worry. Hillary will stay in and steal the nomination at the convention with her overwhelming lead in Super-Delegates.

My only fear is that she will drop out, or lose over and over but keep cool in public and America will never get to see her for the out of control, power hungry, maniacal bitch that she is.

She really is “so yesterday”. I just thought the libs would support her for ONE reason, because they actually think she could win in a general election.

She was downright bizarre in the debate the other night.

The one that sticks in my mind was a sentence that used the word “change” about 3 times. Then she just started using her hands and talking about something. I’m still not sure what she said. It was weird.....like she lost her place in a junior high speech contest and just started making stuff up.

If we start to see key staff members jumping out of the sinking Titanic/Hilliarly campaign, we might be able to believe this.

They don’t want to be with a big loser, and they will try to switch ships to a winner.

Big money will not flow to her if they see her losing. Losing H$U has been devasting to her.

I think she cannot tolerate a humiliating loss and may leave to save face and perhaps fight another day.

Paging Algore!

No so happy for Republicans. Hillary may be a candidate easier to defeat than Obama.

Does anyone here think Obama is any less dangerous than Hillary?

Or withdraw now, and work to ensure an open convention,
where delegates can be threatened, bought, interned, etc.

Hillary may not want to discover what her own party
really thinks of her. Fortunately for her, the Democrat
party hasn’t advocated actual democracy in decades.
