5 Reasons Hillary Clinton Should Quit

It was a Valiant Effort, But...

While writing, I realized I could probably come up with more reasons Hillary Clinton should give up the ghost.

Five is easy. So here we go:

1. The Math: I have seen this spun every way from Sunday, and it will never make sense. Obama's lead in pledge delegates is an insurmountable lead, with Hillary needing to win 68% of all remaining delegates to catch Obama. It would work if she was a Republican, but with the rules of proportion used by the Democrats, this just isn't going to happen. Same goes for the popular vote argument. Obama made up for his Pennsylvania losses in North Carolina, so go ahead and add Florida if you like (which Clinton agreed not to until she started losing to this upstart), she still can't catch him here, either. Hillary's latest ploy has her resorting to trying to raise the delegates needed to secure the nomination to include Florida and Michigan. So now it's not 2,025? OK, what else can we do for you, Sen. Clinton?

2. The Damage: Hillary Clinton has twice sided with John McCain on issues over her Democratic rival. Once on experience, and now this gas tax. This should be an alarm bell to all Democrats, as it plainly reveals Hillary's willingness to do the Republican's work for them. Over 200 economists, including 4 Nobel Prize winners, have concluded this gas tax idea is no good for voters. What was Senator Clinton's response? To call them "elitists". I guess Hillary won't be consulting any "elitists" about economic policy. If she succeeds in stealing this election, it will do great harm to the party. The Democrats rely on the African-American community for 25% of their vote. Add in the youth vote Obama is trouncing her with, as well as the other demographics he wins in. All her negative attack ads have already set her up to be a hypocrite for the Republicans. So why not stop it now?
