Clinton should have every right to take a last lap. Hell, WVA and KY are sure winners for her and that is just fine. However, she keeps trying to kneecap Obama. She keeps trying to bench him for the final game and enough is enough. Stay in if you play nice, this stuff has just been insanity.
Barack Obama has been making efforts to tamp down donations to independent issue groups in an effort to control the level of negative attacks in the future. John McCain has made statements that he doesn't support 527s either, but the 527s don't seem to have gotten the message:
"We will attack Obama viciously on all fair issues, whether they are national security, whether they are taxes or the economy," promised Chris LaCivita, one of the Republican strategists behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that attacked Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry in 2004. LaCivita added: "At the end of the day, every individual has a right to participate in the political process whether John McCain likes it or not. It's their constitutional right."

a little hysterical.
Pop a beer, guys! Hillary will be a wonderful
president. Her plans are way more progressive
than Obamas!
It won't hurt a bit. I promise!
If it goes to convention and she wins, she will be just as strong against McCain as she is now.
The Naral endorsement was an attempt to bring the little woman back on board. Good luck with that one.
It worked in New Hampshire.

That's what Bubba always says.
She has done so much damage to Obama, and this fall, we will be seeing ad nauseum attacks from the republicans, with the same crap, Hillary so selfishly handed over to them. Hillary ran such a divisive campaign, even her supporters, like Emily's list, are like gangsters, attacking any other group that DARES to endorse Obama. A higher percent of her supporters are refusing to vote for Obama, perhaps because of her kitchen sink tactics. I just read the most ridiculous comment by one of her supporters calling Obama a Liar (after Hillary was caught lying about Bosnia, Ireland etc, in videos), and he was also called arrogant (Obama being the ONLY candidate who always states that he is not perfect. I have not heard Hillary ever say that, and we know she is sooo imperfect).
Hillary, her campaign, and her mindless supporters are living in the twilight zone. They cannot do the math, and they are wasting everyone's time and money.
So lets just give Hillary the courtesy of letting the final weeks play out because she is a woman.
Perhaps she and Bill have promised they won't do inquiries into the Bush administration. Perhaps Bill and Hillary's ties to Saudi Arabia and other countries in that area have promised them riches beyond belief as well as political protection. Perhaps she really wants McCain in there so she can win in 2012. Perhaps she knows that an attack on Iran is imminent, which would explain her attacks on Obama's abilty to handle foreign policy as well as her "obliterate" comment.
Perhaps none of this is true. However, we know for a fact that the Clinton's have done many things in the last few months that few of us would have thought they could get away with. We should "follow the lies" just like we should "follow the money". The Clintons are actually consistent. It is just that they need to be heavily investigated and outed in order to put the pieces together. Then, we could predict their actions with great accuracy. But even at this point we should *expect* them to do evil things. They have been doing evil stuff right before our eyes.
And I use the word evil carefully. When you consider the ramifications of a McCain presidency (which she is helping) and also consider what she must know (inside information) about possible future events (ie war with Iran, a depression, the erosion of the constitution, marshall law?) evil seems the appropriate word.
I used to be fairly okay with Clinton being president. Never really liked them, and thought Bill was waaaaay more conservative then people thought, but I was in the "anything is better than Bush" camp. Now, I view Hillary as just as dangerous as him. Different style, and perhaps she would lead some good policies to be put through, but overal the big picture would be the same.
It pisses me off that she is fooling so many people. People don't have the time and energy to do research on her. Most people don't follow these things closely. Her supporters by and large are good people who want a change from Bush and they think she is the best one to do it. It is all so tragic.

Just to be clear...
Yes, Clinton needs to get out of the race.
Yes, Clinton is hurting the Democratic Party by staying in the race.
Yes, EMILY's List needs to re-direct their money ASAP to candidates who can win.
No, Ellen Malcolm never used the word "sensitive" or complained that Clinton's treatment was "mean." Those are your words and they are often code words used [by Republicans] to put women down.
I think everyone is better served at this point by sticking to the facts and not injecting needless hyperbole into the debate.
Thanks for all your great work.
The Obama campaign has announced a "major national endorsement" for a rally tonight at 7pm in Michigan, and the rumor mill is swirling that it is none other than Sen. John Edwards.
