I predict Hillary will drop out by the end of the week [View All]

Tomorrow Obama will have a respectable 10 to 12 point win in NC and make it close in Indiana. By the end of the day Obama will win more delegates than Hillary and it will be clear she is spinning her wheels and stuck in one place or perhaps losing ground. The Super delegates will begin a mass exodus toward Obama and the press will be forced to cover it. I don't think Hillary will try the nuclear option. I think they were just floating it out there to see how people would react. Someone posted earlier that there were rumors floating around that she would drop out later this week if she didn't bring in huge numbers, and according to the polls it's just not materializing for her.

Hillary might decide to stay in until June to see if Obama is hit by something worse than Wright but by tomorrow evening she will know it's over. I know she says she is in it for the long haul but that is what Fred Thompson said too.

I admire her Quixotic heart, however in the novel Don Quixote both Sancho and Don Quixote represent important parts of the human spirit. Sometimes a Quixotic soul needs a Sancho to bring a person back down to earth and reality. There is always tomorrow to fight a new even more important battle. Al Gore showed us this with his fight to end global warming. The lesson this time around is that Democrats don't want to win like Republicans. Especially after 8 years of Rove and Bush. I personally don't think Hillary was ever comfortable playing the cutthroat politician roll. She was just doing what her advisers felt needed to be done to catch up. You can see in her eyes that she doesn't like going on the attack. I am sure she had good intentions for this country and would have given her heart and soul to the job, but it just wasn't meant to be this time.

PS. The last major prediction I made was that John McCain would come from behind and take the nomination. Several people said I was nuts for making that prediction. Lets see if I can make it two for two.
