  •  She Shouldn't Concede Because (4+ / 0-)

    She's running a "close" second (at least compared to historical primaries), it isn't mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for her to win, and she still legitimately believes she's the best person for the job.

    That said, I'm pretty sure she'll be conceding in a couple weeks.

    •  I think she realized she isn't (0+ / 0-)

      ...last night right after she dropped that cynical and moronic "change you can Xerox" line.  You could tell she heard herself partway through and realized "Wait a minute, this is NOT who I am."  I really think she realized last night she had become her enemies.  I think she realized at the booing that her chances to become President had ended at that moment, and before the debate was over she had already moved on to the stage of mending fences.

      But I also think it's good for her to stay in the race.  Just think of all the new registrations and crossover votes she will motivate in Ohio and Pennsylvania -- not to mention Texas, where most of the good has probably already taken place.  By staying in the race a few months longer (if she can find the money) and putting up token resistance against Obama, she helps engineer a maximum blowout against McCain in November.

      I think she will condemn that planned 527 her supporters wanna use to swiftboat Obama.  I have a feeling it's going to sink before delivering fire.

    •  That is not the Clinton way (0+ / 0-)

      She will try to drag it out to the bitter end.  The only thing that will force her out is the superdelegates all moving to Obama, which I think they will begin to do after he wins Texas.

      •  Really? You have (0+ / 0-)

        some place you can point to that shows when Sen. Clinton did anything that was to the detriment of the Democratic Party? Ya got a link? Any documentary evidence for this slander?

        Or is that just your opinion? Of course you are allowed your own view on things, but if your going to make such an extravagant claim, you need some back up. Got any?
