as door mat for Obama. What is your problem?



Do not take this as an attack on Hillary, because it isn't. It's a way for her to really support the party. And in return, Hillary pretty much gets to pick her position in his cabinet.

Hillary! PLEASE do NOT drop out... Even if you lose Ohio & Texas!

Okay, assuming that Hillary doesn't beat Obama by the huge numbers she needs to in order to get back into this, here is why she CANNOT drop out.

The longer she stays in, the better off we are in the GE. Assuming that she stops the negative ads, her presence only helps Obama. Again, ASSUME she stops negative ads.

With her in, he can continue to raise money and use it to attack McCain instead of defending himself from Hillary. Get it? This way, if she stays in, basically for the good of the party, he can keep banking cash and come the convention take public finance.

Then he has $85 million to split up for two months. I mean, this is a win win situation. He will have tons of cash on hand for the GE, he gets to slam McCain for the rest of the year, and keeps the RNC & McCain from calling him a hypocrite by accepting public financing.

Of course, this all hinges on Hillary's willingness to suck it up and check her ego. And if she doesn't win Texans AND Ohio, we all know that it is basically impossible for her to win anyway.

Do not take this as an attack on Hillary, because it isn't. It's a way for her to really support the party. And in return, Hillary pretty much gets to pick her position in his cabinet.

What do you all think? I think this makes perfect sense. We get to have our cake and eat it too.
