There have been repeated calls for Hillary to quit. The math is irrefutable. She can only win by kneecapping Obama. Tanya Haring option. You know the drill.

However, as much as I understand the motivation behind this argument, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense strategically. For one thing, it's pretty much pissing in the ocean. If one accepts the proposition that Hillary will do anything to win, then in what sense is it likely that calling on her to quit for the good of the party will fall on ears that are listening? Of course she's not going to quit. She's not going to give up this nomination fight if there is a 1% chance of her winning.

And rhetorically speaking, the Clinton camp is quite certain that they are tied and that the race is wide open. I've seen that narrative emphasized repeatedly by numerous Clinton surrogates. It seems to me though, that even if you ACCEPT the argument, that "the race is tied," then it makes it even more logical that the Supers should vote now.

Right now.

Below the fold my brief analysis of the relevant propositions and how they fit into the argument I think we should all be making.
