Reply #14: No, it's because all HRC can do from now on is do damage [View All]

At this point, at best she's like Hubert Humphrey in 1972, lashing out desperately at McGovern and bringing him down when McGovern had done nothing to Humphrey to deserve such treatment.

HRC owes it to the party to accept that she isn't inevitable, that she's not going to win, and that Obama, who probably will, deserves a united party and a fighting party.

HRC can only cause bitterness by staying in, and we both know she'll have no right to ask African Americans to support her in the fall if she wins dirty, which is the only way she can win from this point on.

She had her chance. She should withdraw gracefully, then Obama can give her the next Supreme Court appointment, which will give her more power for a longer time than as president.
