Hillary's Crusade
Hillary just won't quit.
Some insight from a superdelegate I spoke to Thursday:While I'm hesitant to count the Clintons out, I think Noonan is right - Barack Obama's won this nomination. Hillary's refusal to admit defeat shows the extent of her entitlement - she began this campaign thinking the nomination was hers to claim, and it seems she hasn't let go of that idea. I don't think she's going to do so anytime soon.It's not math anymore, it's psychodrama. If she can't have it, no one can have it. If she has to tear the party apart, she will.
Nancy Pelosi can't make her drop out. The Clintons think the speaker is for Obama anyway, her San Francisco district went for him 70% to 30%; they'll dismiss her. Chuck Schumer can't do it, he'd offend women in New York. Harry Reid can't do it, he'll offend women, period. If black political figures go to the Clintons and make a plea, they'll be dismissed as Obama partisans.
So who, I asked, can do it?
To be honest, though, I can't yet bring myself to believe that the Clintons are out of national politics for a time, that they've been defeated by their own party. It's almost too good to be true. Sure, it will take some work to defeat Hope Man, but there's nearly no chance now of electing a Bush or a Clinton - 20 years of the presidency in the hands of two families is enough, don't you think?
Thanks to Ace's headlines for the photoshop inspiration.
How bad is it for Hillary? This bad.

I just wanted to show my admiration for your growing photoshop skills. I'm proud.

The crazy thing is, if there was any year when the White House was handed to the Dems on a silver platter, this was it. Helluva time to have a party split, don't you think?
