Is it really time to count Clinton out?
In the minds of some political observers, the question isn't if Hillary Clinton should exit the presidential race, but how and when.
Alex Koppelman [2008-02-25]

  • the way it looks to me

    The Clinton campaign is kinda like Germany after the invasion of Normandy. Still dangerous, and still powerful, but essentially beaten. Her campaign can still fight hard, might even bloody Obama's campaign here and there, and who knows, a major screw up can give her a legit second life. But short of that, she really has no chance. In WWII the allies may not have executed everything perfectly, but thankfully they were too disciplined to give the kind of opening the German army would have needed to get back in it. And from all appearances it looks like the Obama campaign is too disciplined to screw up badly enough to help Clinton as well.

    And no, before anyone says it, I am not suggesting Clinton is a nazi, anti- semitic, or in any way evil the way Hitler was. It's purely a comparison of the military facts of the German army against the allies and the Clinton presidential campaign versus the Obama campaign. Go no deeper into the comparison than that.
