From the NYT:
Her campaign “is just hitting its stride,” Mrs. Clinton said, even though she has been running for well over a year, in a race that has gone on longer than anyone expected. “We’re just beginning to draw those contrasts and those differences and that’s when voters start to zero in,” she said, expressing optimism despite 11 straight losses to Mr. Obama in recent contests.
So if she's just beginning to hit her stride after a year plus, how is this supposed to convince us she'll be ready on day one?
I understand it's still close no matter how you judge, delagates, super delagates, states, popular votes but at what point does it go from Sen. Clinton being a 'fighter' to Sen. Clinton is trying to hand this thing to Sen. McCain?
The odds of her winning by enough to make up for lost ground are not good. It's not impossible but it is increasingly improbable. Unless tonight is an unforseen routing of Sen. Obama, shouldn't she hang it up already?
And yes, In all fairness, I should point out that because of her votes on the war, torture, and the first amendment, I wouldn't vote for Sen. Clinton if she was running against another Bush. So I am not strictly unbiased in my writing. But still, if you are a Clinton supporter and Obama had lost 11 straight and was this far down in delegates this late, wouldn't you want him to hang it up?
