Seriously. Every time there's a primary, we got to Level 9, the board explodes, and the same fights are fought all over again.

But the fact is, nothing really happens that we don't expect on these days. We knew Clinton would win KY big, and she did. We know Obama will win OR by a much smaller margin - and he will.

Do we really get this excited because the results are 2 or 3 points different than we expected?

I guess we do it for fun. So have fun everybody! I know I am.

1. Will you accept her loss now?
That's all we need to resolve from here. It's time for this to end. No good can come of her continuing.

Nah - let her go on
She isn't hurting Obama she's just making a laughingstock of herself.

And destroying whatever remains of the clinton "legacy" in the process.

It'll all be over soon. Somebody will drag her kicking and screaming off of the stage somewhere and that'll be the end of it.

Then she can go away for a nice quiet rest somewhere.

15. She's hurting herself, the party, the GE campaign
and ultimately all of us who have not only the Presidential election, but Senate and Congressional elections to deal with too. She has got to go now.

11. What is why she should be shut down?
I don't see anything in my OP arguing for that. Unless you begrudge me enjoying the process.

5. I was hoping she would concede. No luck there. Otherwise, I'm
looking forward to Obama's speech, so yes, it will be fun!

6. I think its the only time
Obama supporters hear a Hillary speech all week as well. She has been saying what she said tonight all week.

12. Guess you're correct. Not much at stake - right?
I don't and never have done this for fun. That's a side benefit.

I do it because in 2002 I feared this was coming:
