Hillary Refuses to Concede

Certainly, Hillary Clinton refuses to concede that Obama has whupped her soundly. The question is, why? Well, there are several likely explanations; whichever one/ones you like are fair game. Let's look at a few...
  • Dick Morris (who knows her and hubby Bill well), hints that she might be looking at a long term goal, knowing that the current race is lost. If Obama wins, he will be incumbent in 2012. Incumbent presidents are hard to beat. If she "helps" McCain, she increases her odds in the future.
  • Hillary's campaign has borrowed a lot of cash from herself recently to keep her campaign afloat. Obama is planning to announce victory after the next round of primaries later this month. This gives Clinton a widow of opportunity to fund-raise to repay herself; whether she chooses to stay in the race or not. Being married to the master fund-raiser of the universe has its perks.
  • She has an out-of-control ego. Perhaps she just feels that throwing in the towel isn't an option. I don't say this as an insult - this trait is common among high-scoring athletes as well as CEO's and government types. That's why they get results.

The bottom line is that the looming chaos in the Democrat political machine could be their un-doing. While John McCain is busy campaigning for the top job, the Democrats are ripping their own flesh with gusto.

Even seemingly-normal citizens are threatening to riot in Denver. And these are folks that want to get out of the war in Iraq because they don't agree with violence. Uh-oh, can you say Democrat-political-convention-conscientious-objector?

Obviously, many fed up liberal party loyalists don't get it either...
