    "Death with dignity"?

    Here's dignity for you: She keeps winning.

    I don't get this, I really don't. She wins the bigger states, she polls better in the states we have to win, she carries Latinos, which we have to carry, and yet the pundits--like it was their decision--keep hammering at her to get out of the race.

    Has this ever even happened before? RFK had less of a shot than Hillary does. Did anybody tell him to get out of the race?

    Your guy leads by a handful of delegate votes, racked up mainly in red states where few people live, and which we will never carry.

    My guess: The pundits finally have a candidate that they think is as cool as they are, so they identify with him.
