So Obama has $30 million in the bank and Hillary only $3 million.
She can't win. She won't have the money to campaign after PA, yet she's going to stay in this thing until the convention. And people wonder why Obama supporters are losing more and more respect for her by the day? She's out to ruin Obama and it's painfully clear now. She'd rather this country fall to the Republicans than have him win the presidency.

Ya' know, it's funny, Hillary can be a hero here. She can announce tomorrow that she is dropping out for the better of her party and the better of her country. Yet she won't. She'll keep this thing going, even when it looks less and less likely she'll win. She will force Obama to defend himself from two fronts and try to continue with backroom dealings, even though they are obviously not working. Then, when it's officially over for her, she'll finally concede and back Obama, but by that time it may be too late. If this goes to the convention, look for McCain to open up a pretty sizable lead on Obama and I'm not so sure he'll have enough time to get back into the game.

1. IIRC, that $3 million includes her $5 million loan, so she's actually in the red.
I honestly don't understand how her campaign can continue at this point. I know she's still bringing money in, but I suspect it's not the kind of cash she needs to sustain her campaign. How can she stay competitive with Obama is a mystery to me.
