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

    All I can say is that I believe if they can not come up with something that will destroy Mr. Obama, be careful be very careful because I believe they will definitely TRY do ANTTHING, ANYTHING to steal the Dem nomination! They will! you can count on that

    I think we can all breath easy that Hillary will not be allowed to "steal" the nomination. That is simply not going to happen. Short of something extremely dramatic to completely kill Obama's chances, the Democratic Party cannot afford to lose their AA base and the youth vote. Hillary would then certainly lose to McCain. She does have a huge negative rating across demographic lines. Also, the backlash to the Democratic Party would be enormous. If that should happen, then the brighter side would be that the country will finally be open to a third party. And then again, maybe that is what Clinton is holding out on - to start a third party. Just speculating.
