The Repubs are out on the playing field and we are fighting in the locker room
The whole thing makes me disgusted. I've never really been against Hillary before but right now I feel she cares less about our team winning and more about getting to play first string.

Everything I have read says Hillary doesn't have a chance so why the hell is she still in the race?????

On top of all that what would happen to her campaign funds if she did the decent thing and removed herself for the sake of her party? Would some of it go to electing our next Democratic president?

If so she just lost more respect from me, if there was any left.

1. Holding out hope
I think Hillary is either hoping for some magic luck with the superdelegates, or a change of events with FL or MI.

OR -- and this may be the biggest reason -- she is hoping that some skeleton in Obama's closet will appear over the next couple of months which will disqualify him in the minds of the voters. Then she will step in and pick up the slack.
