Clinton: Delusional Or Trying To Destroy. Here's My Reasoning:
As I see it, there are only four reasons to remain in a race:
1. Because you have a shot at winning. - Nope, she's got no shot at winning.
2. Because you have no chance at winning, but are deluded that you do. - Possible.
3. You have no chance of winning - but if the leader "blows up" somehow (scandal, etc.), you want to be there as the second choice. - Nope. She could suspend her candidacy, which would retain her delegates but take her off the "active roster".
4. You know you have no shot at winning, but you want a platform to destroy something (opponent, Party, etc.) from. - Possible.

1. Manny, Manny me brother, maybe it is as simple as staying in
race to prove a simple point. Not to quit when others mainly the male pundits are saying to drop out. Maybe she is by remaining letting the women know that just because some none/numb nuts says to do something you do not have to leap when he says jump.

Personally, I hope she stays in the damn campaign all the way to the convention. What? you say she will leave a dark cloud over her future? Excuse me but obama has 51% of the dem vote and she has 49%. So how is that many people going to allow the obama folks to try and shove her out? 60 years ago and to this day folks have been trying to shove someone out. Would you stand by and allow that to happen?

If your goal is to nominate a Black man, then you should go with Obama. But what if our goal is to win the White House?
