Give it up: She will not quit, she will not apologize, she will not be reasonable
If she indicates any of these things, she will invalidate them the next day.

If she makes nice, within days she will say something outrageous.

It's not ending, it's not ending ever.

Let's stop pretending that there will be a moment where she unites behind the party and stops going after Obama and/or saying outrageous things in the process. We have all been watching as she says something magnanimous, and then for instance, compares the Florida primary to Zimbabwe. Even her statement about voting for McCain being a "grave mistake" she actually *misspoke* and said "grave mistake to vote for Obama".

She's not going away folks and if it gets you upset to know that, you've got to let it stop upsetting you. You cannot let your happiness depend upon someone else's actions.

Just move on and support Obama, he is playing this well, with class, refuses to say something outrageous, and I think his example will mean I have less headaches watching campaign coverage this fall.

1. She will, however, LOSE...
And that's good enough.

5. If she can't have it, no Democrat can!
The ultimate in selfish narcissism.

She's psychotic, too.

6. I'm with Rachel Maddow on this
We need to start listening to what she is saying and believing it. Her actual words indicate nothing about giving in gracefully if she doesn't have the delegates, even after the beginning of June. She has very clearly mapped out a path for this to continue to August and has displayed it for all to see in mile high letters. She will appeal the committee's ruling on MI and FLA in order to drag it out. That's why everyone should be contacting the superdelegates to put an end to this now.

13. I agree
I always believed her, just hoped that someone with influence would get through to her. The sad part is the numbers of supporters who have been completely duped because the media won't call her on her garbage. I hope nobody has gone without to contribute to her campaign. It's unconscionable for her to do that to people.

16. I hope that Rachel
has finally ditched her mantra -- that she has been using even as late as last Wednesday -- that she really doesn't care which candidate gets the nomination.

7. She's on a Mission from God. Or, is it a mission from the DLC?
Well, either way, she screwed it up beyond redemption.

15. This IS as much about the DLC...
as it is about Hillary. Without the huge campaign fund that Obama has amassed from millions of small contributions, the DLC would have been able to sweep the floor with him. But I see it's true - we are the ones we've been waiting for.

8. If she had any sense of shame, she'd step aside now. Of course, she doesn't have any.
She's a sociopath.

9. It's all about her.
It ain't about this party. Right now she's running for 2012 and the longer she stays in the more the chance she can run then. Of course what she's too dumb to get is that she has lost the support of the mainstream Democratic party. ONly a small band of lunatic fringe followers remain, and in all likelihood, most of them weren't going to vote Democratic anyway. Let her go declare herself the Queen of Appalachia or something. We can get rid of them and her.

10. I agree.
She must have a trump card to play or some other trick up her sleeve.

11. she doesn't hold any cards, she plays them immediately
and because she doesn't hold any cards, she bluffs (badly) in between playing them.

she has got to be the worst poker player on God's green earth.

18. You give the Clinton's more credit than I do.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a few tricks left to play. Who knows though...

12. I Say Let Her Continue To Show The SD's Why Obama Is The Better Choice......
Even after Obama let her off easy on this so called RFK Assassination Gaffe - she should be thankful - she'll go off on him again and either say or do something that will be damaging to him and the Dems chances in the GE. She will continue to illustrate that she should go.

14. Some of her supporters are just as incapable of apologizing for their offensive remarks.
