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.

Yeah, but look at all of the suckers on this thread alone who fell for her lies (aided and abetted by corrupt pollsters).
There are actual people out there who were convinced to think that she was losing NH, and getting out, and now their chains have been yanked.
And their are people here who believe she would be easy to beat. How naive.
—okay, you were right—but they didn’t get behind the would-be winner—
There are people here who believe THEY would be easy to beat. Corrected that for you. No other candidate has the luxury of being able to campaign in two states at once.
