Hillary vs. Barack Over By Mid May?
Filed Under Barack Obama, Election 2008, Indiana primary, John McCain
William Kristol predicts the John McCain vs. Barack Obama election contest could begin as soon as mid May.
Some Republicans are grasping at the idea that a long, bitter fight for the Democratic nomination will weaken Obama. Their hopes are about to be dashed. After the results are in from Pennsylvania on April 22, or from Indiana and North Carolina on May 6, it should become clear that Hillary Clinton won’t be able to catch Obama in the overall popular vote. Without that possibility, Clinton won’t have a shot at persuading superdelegates to break her way.
So Clinton will probably concede by mid-May. She’ll be a gracious loser (they’ll hide Bill away somewhere). The weeks that follow will be a Democratic lovefest. And the money will keep pouring in to the Obama campaign, ensuring Democratic dominance of the airwaves in the summer.
Time for Republicans to start their making their case for the presidency before the Democratic summer of love begins.

That is total crap.
Hillary has won the votes of more Democrats than Obama has. Far more.
Why should she drop out?
Hi Buzz,
Hillary isn’t running just to be running and to just waste money.
I think she knows something — maybe they have internal polling that shows that it make sense to stay in the race — that keeps her in the race.
To add on to your thought, why would she drop out if she thinks she can win?
