OK, so Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is staying in the presidential race despite losing among elected delegates, facing a slimming lead among superdelegates, losing the popular vote and being behind by 2-to-1 in the number of states carried.
She slogs on, hoping against hope for a sudden turnaround in the race.
Apart from the psychological reasons for her stubbornness, is there a more subtle political calculation going on?
Is she continuing her race so as to have a platform from which to continue to bash Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the hopes of so damaging him that he can’t win the general election? Is she doing this to keep her options alive for the 2012 presidential race?
Hillary is obviously entitled to keep running until Obama has secured the votes necessary for the nomination, and it is certainly understandable that she would want to run until the last popular vote is counted. But must she run a negative, slash-and-burn campaign? Must she use her time on the platform and on television to belittle, mock, deride and try to destroy the man who will eventually be the candidate of her own party?

So Hillary is good for America? The only difference between the two is skin color.
That, most excellent Festus, could be the quote of the ‘08 election.
Are you suggesting that Hitlery is hung as well as Osamabama?
She probably is.
Keep speaking truth to power.
Great tagline, too.
Yep, that explains it!
Huh?? Judging from McCain's 5 1/2 years in the hellhole torture-chambers of Hoa Lo prison, better known as the Hanoi Hilton, most people would likely agree that McCain's genetic makeup is excellent - in both a physical and spiritual sense.
A moving testimony to this has come from, among others, McCain's former cell mate, Col. George "Bud" Day - a Medal of Honor recipient and, in fact, the most decorated service man since Gen. Douglas McArthur.
FOXnews had a segment on this on 08 May 08, and followed it up with a report on their website - same date. Highly recommended.
Where do you think the toe sucker leak came from?
Don't know exactly what you mean by his genetic make-up. His 90+ year old mother looks pretty sharp.
I agree that these must be very tough times for you Hillary supporters out there.
LOL Take it to ‘em, buddy.
McCain is trying to run this ethereal high brow campaign and this is going to be a get down and dirty roll around in the mud campaign.
I hope she cuts his legs out from under him. I never in the world thought I would get behind Hillary but she would be a lot better than that stupid closet Muslim POS.
“So Hillary is good for America? The only difference between the two is skin color.”
You’d be wrong. He’s even more liberal than her.
He’s slammed Hillary at every opportunity.
“I agree that these must be very tough times for you Hillary supporters out there.”
You’ll wish you had Hillary if Hussein Obama gets elected. If it’s between Obama and Hillary, yes, I would support Hillary.
It’s not going to be between Hillary and McCain. I had hoped most of you had figured that out by now. It’s over for Hillary. Hussein Obama is the one that has to be stopped.
She and her husband have and will sell this country out for personal gain. The criminal Clinton syndicate in my opinion is far more dangerous than a neophyte liberal.
