Hillary at twilight

Was her campaign stop in an Ohio town called Hanging Rock a metaphor -- or a symbol of dogged defiance?

    @deloresflower

    thanks for the calm and friendly note, deloresflower. forgive any typing errors or nocap words, since i'm typing one-handed as my ancient cat sleeps on my lap.

    What a question; it's THE questin, no doubt about it. My take tonifgt is this: if Hillary loses in Texas and scrapes by in Ohio and does well in r.i.--or does worse than that, even-- Richardson and Edwards and Pelosi will all endorse Obama. Hillary will "suspend" her campaign.

    But. if Hillary wins the popular vote in Texas, wins by 6 or more pts in Ohio and RI, she will stay in the race, and probably should. or, not. very tough call. I think she believes deeply that she'd be the better president, and so do I, but she (and i) are better party loyalists than Obama and many of his folks are--he's very "post-partisan--so she may well swallow hope and pride and stop anyway.

    who knows?? Ive been involved in Dem politics since Adlai, and nothing remotely like this year has happened before.

    thanks again for the civility!
