Remember that every candidate is always "in it to win it" until they drop
This is not to say that Hillary won't stick it out until the convention, as we suspect. But when was the last time you've actually seen any candidate signal they were going to drop or loosen their stance prior to dropping? Politically speaking, it's no surprise to hear Hillary tout this.

My .02 is that she should take the win in PR and announce she is suspending or dropping during her victory speech. It will be her last chance to do so.

1. I think that she owes it to her supporters to keep going until Obama hits the magic number

3. I agree.
Many came to DU upset when Gore lost, mad he didn't fight.

People here were pissed when Kerry lost, gave up without a fight.

She can't win the nomination but she's showing everyone how to fight
for it.

I hope Obama is watching,learning. He may need to fight a little between now
and November (maybe beyond).

4. While what you say is very true, unfortunately HRC is in this for 2012 now apparently.
Sadly, she cares nothing about the continued horror in Iraq, Roe v. Wade, etc. just her own political ambitions. Watch the Clintons sit on their hands for the GE and make insinuations against Obama while encouraging their primary voters to do the same in order to ensure Obama loses. I don't think it will actually work, though, given what a flawed candidate McSame is.
