that. She has to soldier on and get hope from the actual campaign. Once engaged she can't stop. IF Edwards beat Obama or she got to Obama, then she is back in the hunt perhaps, but her credibility as a fighter much less a winner will be surrendered if she defects from any state now. She had her chance to avoid Iowa and NH even if that showed weakness. If she couldn't choose that then(and she plainly couldn't given her vulnerability is too real to avoid) it's far too late now. My problem with her candidacy is that she was limited in everything, especially choices right from the start, one of the most hamstrung people ever to garner front runner status in spite and BECAUSE of all the past history.

Now we see what she might have carried into the fall. And most people have always felt this in some fashion. The GOP can screw with reality from sheer illegal power. Hillary's advantages and strategies pale in comparison. Add in candidates with more appeal and less baggage and her only effective friends would be GOP strategists.
