Hillary’s Done. Now What?

Ken McCracken • May 7, 2008

Stick a fork in her. She’s done.
Obama stomped her in North Carolina yesterday by a whopping 220,000 votes. There is no way she can catch up now, either in delegates or in the popular vote. Plus, you’ll start to see a lemming-like horde of the super delegates heading to Obama’s flag.
So….what now? Will she make nice and hand the remaining five or six primaries to Obama “for the good of the party”? Or will she slug it out and hope to sway the super delegates somehow?
Personally, I think she’ll try to deal her way into a VP spot by giving it up soon and throwing everything she has behind Obama. She can’t win now barring a miracle or some seriously dirty tricks. The numbers just aren’t there. “Vice President Hillary Rodham Clinton” is probably starting to sound good to her about this time. But I could be wrong. She may still fight even as her ship sinks around her.
We’ll know soon. I’ve enjoyed watching the Dems eat their own, but if Hillary is as smart as I think she is, that may soon be over. She’ll back Obama.
For the “good of the party”, you understand.

Drudge has a blurb up reporting Clinton’s not able to find any superdelegates who will meet with her today. I can’t see the USS Clinton wanting to quit but if it’s over, it’s over. She’s just embarrassing herself now.

My opinion, Hillary knew she was toast a long time ago and is purposely doing what she’s doing to make a bid for 2012. She doesn’t want a VP spot, because she really wants BO to lose. She won’t accept a VP bid either. That way, she will not have been a part of a losing ticket at all. Insetad, if BO loses the GE, she can pull out the ‘ol “I told you so” and be a shoe-in for a run next time.

I think she drags it out as long as she can, doing as much damage to the “party” as she can in the process before dropping out before an embarassing convention delegate vote. She’ll wax “supportive” but will do just as much to appear so, without actually helping at all. If you think that Bill and Hillary aren’t scheming politically on this one, you’re not paying attention.

You could be right, Rob, but I think she’s smart enough to take what she can get. If she plays nice now she may have a shot at VP. If she stays on the crazy train in a hopeless run she’ll just cause it to jump off the tracks and she’ll never get a whiff of the White House.

On the other hands, she IS a Clinton……

KENNEDY LIBERALS ARE WINNING OVER THE LEIBERMAN NEO-LIBERALS. THE WORLD IS CHEERING; AND THE SCREAMS OF DAMNED ARE GROWING LOUDER.

I would be *shocked* if Hillary drops out. She’ll drag her party down with her.

During this primary season I’ve always said… it ain’t over until a judge says it’s over.

Perhaps it will be a “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” type arrangement.

she’s canceled all of her public events for tomorrow,

Might just be a strategy session on how to spin yesterday’s results.

Is it just me, or do Bill and Chelsea seem happier now that she’s finished. I don’t think Bill wants her to win.

Anyway, Clinton reminds me of the scene in the movie “Dead Man Walking” where the convict is going from his cell to the death chamber, and the guard says, “Dead man walking”,
we all know where her campaign is headed, but she thinks, along with her fans, that she’s……well……going free.

I don’t see Hillary dropping out of the race just yet,

Besides, that would have all her creditors lining up to get paid! I’m sure the Clintons will wish to forestall that as long as they can!

It ain’t over till it’s over! The Clinton juggernaut is not done yet.

sorry, the first comment wasn’t supposed to print

If Barack Hussein Obama is smart he would be wise NOT to have Hillary for VP. The Clinton’s body count from Arkansas to Washington is very high. Obama would always have to be on guard.

I don’t see Hillary dropping out of the race just yet, although clearly she would be the more formidable opponent come November.

I can’t see the Queen of Ego throwing in the towel – ever. And I hope I’m right because I don’t want to be deprived of the fun of watching the elites choose the nominee for the “party of the common folk.”

Well I see reports saying she’s canceled all of her public events for tomorrow, so maybe she is finished.

I agree, there is no way Hillary drops out. The Clintons are so power-hungry I think they’d gladly torpedo Obama just go get another shot in 2012.
