Sources say that no matter what the private musings within the Clinton campaign, there are two very important people who want to stay at it till the very end: Hill and Bill. Their rationale: delegates already elected and counted? Who cares? Their new rules - what happened in the beginning of the game shouldn't count - only who wins certain contests at the end ("swing states"). Another new rule: popular vote is what counts, not number of delegates. And not just any old reckoning of popular vote - let's count all of the Hillary vote in Michigan and Florida, let's exclude the popular vote from selected if not all caucus states, and certainly we will count the popular vote in Puerto Rico, despite that fact that their votes won't swing or carry at all, come November. Yes, superdelegates - these are the factors you should factor in - wait a minute, who needs superdelegates when one has the popular vote!
Isn't it the height of sexism to consider that Hillary has to be let down gently from these delusions of grandeur? If a male candidate were in her present position, wouldn't he concede already? Due to the nature of her fair sex, there will be a delay in the crucial healing process for the Democratic party. She will hurt the party. Way to go, first viable female candidate!
Fair - I thought the best parts of McCain's appearance on SNL hadn't to do with age, but with the continuing Democratic fight - let it go on, he said, even till November - he would support both candidates being in the race - in fact, bring back John Edwards too, for good measure. McCain hasn't the best comic timing, but I've definitely seen worse.
