Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    Article is Absurd

    Haven't read the other 150 or so letters, so if I repeat others, sorry. The article is absurd. Obama hasn't clinched because enough super delegates are silent about there preference to mean either could win. Super delegates being human, they could put Hillary over the top -- they have the power. If you think they don't have the desire, then you must have heard them declare for Obama -- but you haven't, so nobody knows what they will do, maybe not even them. So Hil should quit while for all that is known a majority of delegates (i.e., including unannounced supers) want her? My definition of "absurd".
