Who will tell Hillary?
By Robert D. Novak | Monday, February 25, 2008 | The Washington Post
“…Even before Sen. Barack Obama won his ninth straight contest against Sen. Hillary Clinton, in Wisconsin last Tuesday, wise old heads in the Democratic Party were asking this question: Who will tell her that it’s over, that she cannot win the presidential nomination and that the sooner she leaves the race, the more it will improve the party’s chances of defeating Sen. John McCain in November?….”…BS

Oh, well that’s oh-so-very democratic! Yup, just politely ask a viable candidate to pack it up and leave the stage. No matter that that candidate has positions that are as good as or better than another candidate. No matter that that candidate has a track record longer than the other candidate. No matter that that candidate has only recently fallen behind in pledged delegates, and is virtually neck-and-neck in the popular vote thus far (counting Democrats ONLY, not Reps and Inds who were allowed to vote in Democratic primaries).
Yup, let’s just forget some of the underlying strengths of the democracy we claim to be fighting for. Yup, that’s the way to go.
What an utter and complete crock!
Peace.

My hunch is that if the writing is truely on the wall, Hillary will not prolongue things, but that point certainly hasn’t been reached. I just wish they would start talking policy. I am getting mighty sick of all this talk of ‘change’ without having a clue what either of them mean by it.
