When will Hillary call it quits?
By Rob Tornoe
Is the end near?
Here is today's lead from the New York Times. I think it says it all:
With Senator Barack Obama crossing the threshold of delegates he needed to claim the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday evening, party leaders began to move on Wednesday to bring their lengthy primary battle to a close and unite the party, even as questions swirled about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s next move.
Here's the sketch:

Quote of the Day
October 7, 2008
"Gordon Smith has not been a leader on this issue. The only time he led was when it was time to take credit."
- Matt Canter, spokesman for Democratic senatorial candidate Jeff Merkley, on why the campaign doesn't believe U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R) deserves as much credit as U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D) and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D) for reauthorization of county timber payments.

That cartoon is beyond bad taste
Raising the specter of an assassination is bad enough, particularly given the deep-seated racism in parts of this country. But to imply that Hillary Clinton is thinking along these lines is not worthy of the ink the cartoonist used to draw the sketch. It paints her as the worst kind of opportunist and there is absolutely NO evidence of that at all.
Way to keep the Democratic Party from healing the wounds of the long primary season.
As to when Hillary will end her campaign, I'm amazed at the people who profess to being politically literate asking this question. When a presidential nomination candidate officially ends a campaign, she/he can still repay the ordinary campaign debt but he/she is PROHIBITED from repaying personal loans. Clinton made significant loans to her campaign; suspending the campaign allows her to raise the money to repay both the ordinary campaign debt AND the personal loans.
But facts are often lost in the drive for infotainment these days!
Is your head in the
Is your head in the sand?
"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it."

And another question about the opportunistic Hillary Clinton? Has she conceded yet? Senator Obama did win the required number of delegates, or is my head in the sand too?
