Eureka! !
It hit me suddenly. What if she's still in the race because she thinks it's good for the party? After all, we're all (including the media) talking about her or Obama. And therefore Obama's and Hillary's message is getting out. McCain is nowhere to be seen, and familiarity breeds good things (witness the vote for Obama in North West Indiana). In a sense, as an Obama supporter, I actually feel that maybe it might be good for us Democrats for Hillary to stay in there and keep the discussion going about issues.
There is one definitive way to tell if she's in it for this motive;
She doesn't attack Barack from here on but stays strictly on the issues.
I know this is not typical Hillary from what we've seen, but it would be a very honorable thing to do. And it'd be damn clever.
If she resorts to attacks on Barack, this idea falls apart. But I have my fingers crossed.
