Nah, you’re wrong. Two weeks ago Clinton was 20 % ahead in PA, now she’s 10% and Obama took 5 days off. And many of those polls were taken before it became, on nightly National News, that she was hyperbolizing her experience.

I think Clinton would be better in the long run, bowing out now. If she doesn’t win PA by 65%+, then she can’t win the nomination. Better to walk away now with the possibility that she could have won it, than later, with the fact that she didn’t win it as she needed to.

… and to think that I was fan of hillary clinton(R-NY) a year ago. Actions speak much louder than words and her and her champagne are despicable. They say that senile mccain is better for America than Obama now she throws Obama under the bus by his paster. I now hate her now.

Although I do think Clinton is going to drop out before the convention I don’t think it’s going to be before Pennsylvania.
She already knows that she is going to win big there and even though she can’t win the nomination she can still wield a lot of influence. Right after the Penn primary and before North Carolina she will be at her most influential point in this contest, she could then use that clout to make a deal with the Obama camp allowing for the appointment of centrists to the government. Maybe even a VP spot for a guy like Jim Webb.

If she waits until after North Carolina a state that Obama will win easily, she will have waisted her chance to be influential on both policy platform and appointments because Obama will probably be in a much stronger position after that contest.
Couple that with the fact that the party elite will be so nervous about this thing running into the convention by that time that the heat on Hillary to drop out will be enormous and it will be coming from all different directions.

She will drop out before the convention, that’s a given.
The only question is wither she is going to get anything out of the time she has invested in this contest or will she and her wing of the party walk away with nothing but bitter feelings?

Timing is everything.

All the candidates are running from someone, even McCain. For a humorous take on this check out, http://beema.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/presidential-candidates-meeting-in-the-middle/

“barring a meltdown by Obama”

She should “suspend” her campaign. If Obama does meltdown she can legitimately get nominated at the Convention. She will then be coming off a summer of not having been attacked by McCain and 527’s and the GOP will have wasted a ton of money attacking Obama. This is the only sensible path for her now. But if she looks complacent in the “Obama meltdown” she can expect Gore/Edwards to walk away with it.
