I'm Hillary: I dare you, convince me to quit.
dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasn… — Even though Time magazine has a cover with Obama's picture and the headline "And the winner is ..." let's pretend for a moment that you are a Hillary Clinton staffer and I am the candidate. Tell me why, after my really big win in West Virginia, it's still time for me to drop out. I want to hear your most convincing argument.

1. You can’t win the nomination without overturning the will of the elected delegates, which will alienate many Democrats.
2. You can’t win the nomination without a bloody convention battle — after which, even if you won, history and many Democrats would cast you as a villain.
3. Catching up in the popular vote is not out of the question — but without re-votes in Florida and Michigan it will be almost as impossible as catching up in elected delegates.
4. Nancy Pelosi and other leading members of Congress don’t think you can win and want you to give up. Same with superdelegate-to-the-stars Donna Brazile.
5. Many of your supporters — and even some of your staffers — would be relieved (and even delighted) if you quit the race; none of Obama’s supporters or staff feel that way.
6. The Rev. Wright story notwithstanding, the media still wants Obama to be the nominee — and that has an impact every day.
7. Obama might not be able to talk that well about the new global economy, but you (and McCain) can’t either.
8. Many of the remaining prominent superdelegates want to be for Obama and you (and blackmailer arm-twister Harold Ickes) are just barely keeping them from making public commitments to him.
9. This is a change election, and Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton can never truly be change.
10. Obama is having fun most days, and you are not.
11. Even though your campaign staff is having more fun than it has for a long time, there’s hardly anyone there who, given half a chance, wouldn’t slit Mark Penn’s throat — and such internal dissension won’t help you in the home stretch.
12. Buh-bye Hills. - kleenex1, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Yup...that pretty much sums it up. Hillary's done for and will receive no deal to bail her out of her 20 million and growing debt.
