DEAR MEDIA: QUIT BEATING A DEAD HORSE AND ALLOW CLINTON TO WITHDRAW ON HER OWN TERMS

Opinion

To restate the obvious: Of course Clinton cannot win the nomination. She is out of money, out of time, and out of states. It's a waste of space for the anti-Clinton bloggers and media to keep restating the obvious.

Second, it is now obvious that America wants to believe in something so badly that there is almost nothing that can befall Obama that he cannot brush off. If his 20 year association with the racist preacher who will not go quietly into the good night did not finish Obama, nothing will.

Even (most) die-hard Clinton supporters (such as the undersigned) acknowledge that it is time for Hillary Clinton to decide precisely when and under what negotiated terms (if any) that she will gracefully withdraw from the race.

The super-delegates should have enough grace to refrain from public pressure in this regard, and allow Clinton to withdraw with dignity.

Wonkette captured the feeling with this headline: Obama's Joyless Math Beats Hillary's Magical Maps.

As to McGovern jumping into the fray this morning, Wonkette also nailed it with: Famous 1972 Democrat Loser George McGovern Throws Hillary Under The Bus.

The (publicly) uncommitted super-delegates do themselves no favors with us 50% of the Democratic electorate who supported HRC by kicking Hillary when she is down now. And it’s too late for those who have not previously endorsed Obama to suck up now anyway.

Be gracious. Seat Florida and Michigan (it will not make any difference anyway). Let Clinton withdraw on her own terms.

In addition, we would seriously think about offering HRC the veep spot—unless the DNC wants 30% to 40% of Hillary’s supporters to vote for McCain (the undersigned included).
