Hillary has to stop

Unless Sen. Hillary Clinton has a more evil sequel to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright or Chris Hansen has Obama on NBC’s Dateline “To Catch A Predator,” the senator from New York is done.
Her landslide win in West Virginia Tuesday night lifted her spirits, but it is not a horse she can ride to the finish line.
The math is the truth. And, the truth is what everyone is saying, Clinton can’t win the delegate, super delegate or popular vote count. There are not enough states and not enough delegates left for her unless, of course, she wins by 80 percentage points the rest of the way.
Even if Clinton blindsides Obama, it would probably backfire on her. Any attacks she makes on Obama would be viewed as providing more ammunition for the Republicans to use in the fall and that would draw the wrath of Democratic Party leaders around the country.
If she cares about the Democratic Party and its chances of winning in November, she should bow out graciously this week, embrace Obama’s campaign and start chipping away at Sen. John McCain’s brittle candidacy. It’s the best and only real decision left for her.
If little Hillary Clinton was in my backyard right about now, my late grandmother would go to the back of house, swing open the screen door and yell “Hillary. Hillary, it’s getting dark, child. It’s time to quit and come inside.”

Interesting how the “liberals” can bend their morality when it comes to their own selfishness. Too many Jewish voters who were so strongly against the Vietnam War are now saying ,” We must fight the “terrorists”. So Am I a racist? You bet I am when it comes to Obama. You think he is going to want black Americans die in the Middle East for Israel.”
