Let Hillary lose at her own pace.
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 11:08 AM by backscatter712
I'm not so inclined to call for Hillary to drop out at this point.

There's no need.

Last week, she gave us her very worst - she let the Wright "scandal" hit the media, and for a while, it was thought that would stick. Then Obama came out in top form, and with the greatest speech this country has heard in a generation, he took the legs off the Wright circus.

Hillary gave Obama and the party her nuclear option. And it wasn't enough.

Now, again, her campaign's facing cash flow problems, and a backlash from that obviously low-blow, especially when more people realize that Wright's a decent person, not a hatemongering cartoon character.

Short of eating a baby live on CNN, Obama can't lose. Hillary cannot win.

Oh sure there will be other attacks, and as her campaign swirls around the drain, she'll make some last gasps, and Obama will have to respond. But have faith. There's no turning back at this point. Obama will be the nominee.

So, I'm not calling for Hillary to drop out. Why bother? Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and watch her campaign implode at its own pace. It's inevitable at this point.

The media will gradually lose interest in her, especially after Pennsylvania fails to net her enough delegates to catch up. The cash flow problems will continue. Her campaign will look a lot like Huckabee's campaign at this point - broke, desperate, irrelevant.
