It just occurred to me....
if I were Hillary Clinton, I'd be staying in the race, too.

I'm an Obama supporter and I'm tired of the games and deception from the HRC camp, but, ultimately, it's up to her whether she stays or goes. If I had her money, I'd loan it to myself, too, being a woman and also wanting to do everything I knew possible to not let down my supporters.

I don't think it serves her legacy well to continue with negative attacks, gimmicks and false promises, but if she gives the rest of her time an honest effort, then, more power to her.

"President Obama" is sounding pretty real at the moment, though. And her supporters wouldn't blame her for bowing out any time soon.

Best wishes to everyone, as we take political participation, knowledge and activism to new heights. God Bless America.

1. Who would donate to her campaign at this point?
Most people realize that at this point, they'd just be throwing their money away.

3. it doesn't matter because Obama can bail her out in the end if necessary anyway

2. I don't blame her for staying in the race either
She has put a lot of time and effort into this, and you don't get many shots at the Presidency.
She could throw 20 or 30 million of her own money into this and it won't affect her lifestyle.

She will make Obama earn this, and he will learn a great deal from this experience.

4. in her mind it is probably her only chance
I can't believe her stamina, but in a few years from now, it will only be harder.

7. Thank you.
It ain't over till the Iron Lady sings. I think people are overestimating how divisive this race is. Millions more have registered to vote and in the end the silver medalist will support our nominee. That'll kill 90% of the disaffection.

This is our year, so long as we take the fight to the republicans and keep focused on their track record and our shared goals.
