I wouldn't mind Hillary staying in if she were running a positive and fair campaign.
But she is not.

She has two strategies:

1. Throw enough shit on Obama to make him unelectable and her the nominee by default, since she'd be the last candidate standing.

2. Have the rules changed in her favor, by hook or by crook, Republican-style.

That's all we have to look forward to from a continued Clinton campaign.

It helps no one, not even Clinton herself, since she is sure to fail.

She needs to get out now before she does more damage!

2. I'm thinking that she will probably be shut down next week.
The nomination is Obama's and from today's reaction in congress, it seems that the SDs know it. If she doesn't start to play nice or quit, he will probably have a major SD dump on Monday or Tuesday to show her that he means business.

If she doesn't stop at that point, he will probably refuse to pay her debts.

6. I agree and I also believe the SDs will put Obama over the top if she tries to further damage him.

7. And then there's the "positive fair-and-square" strategy

Win all six of the remaining contests with 86% of the vote.

8. I don't think she should drop out.
The more I think about it the more I think she should stay in for all the rest of the states.

She should attack McSame. In evey speech, attack McSame and tell everyone how Dems will be better.

She should use the last states to show everyone what the differences will be. Use them to start to heal the rifts and regain some respect that she has lost from some Dems.

9. Well, she isn't going to do that and that's my point.
She's going to stay in and try to win dirty.
