Clinton will Be in Until the End of May
I think Obama supporters need to cool down for a second and realize that Clinton won't be ending anything right out of the gate. Yes, people are coming around to the reality of it and politically...she probably can't afford to stay in until the convention. In the coming weeks, I'm sure the discussion will shift to VP and having her on the ticket. I disagree with that wholeheartedly, because I think the Clintons are more problems than what they're worth. And I really don't want to see another incident of them stabbing another Democrat in the back for their own political ambitions.

Hillary will stay in until the Oregon/Kentucky primaries at least. What Obama should do is at least contest those states even if he won't win (West Virginia and Kentucky). If he can shrink his losses like he has in the past...it would feed in to the argument that some of her supporters are coming around to the fact that she's done. Hillary Clinton has too much pride though to end this when the end result is clear. It is that stubborn pride that has hurt her so much already...but nobody is telling her that.

4. I agree...but that is their mentality.
She doesn't believe she's lost. She's in a state of denial...she probably feels a bit disarrayed and confused right now. It needs to set in for her, and with her pride...that may take longer than we want it to.

Her Royal Clintonness will stay "in" the "race" all the way up until the convention, and then I wouldn't be surprised to see her deploy a gang of thugs like these ones:



To try and intimidate the Democratic Party into coronating her.

Fuck her.
