Josephine, Hillary Clinton has lost
Somehow, you must start to come to terms. If you're going to vote for John McCain, that's fine; but you must accept that Hillary Clinton will never be elected President. Obama may never be elected either, but unlike Mrs. Clinton he still has a chance.
The super-delegates will not vote for her, and that's the her only path to the nomination.
But even if they did hand her the nomination, no Democrat can win without alomost 90% of the black vote. No Democrat has won the white vote since Johnson and she'd be no exception. Her husband won in 1992 with 38% of the white vote and 90% of the black vote. There's no way in hell she'd get even close to that.
If Obama is elected President, Hillary may try again when she's 68, but I doubt it.
Should Obama be defeated, Hillary Clinton will be almost universally blamed for bringing him down, whether she deserved the blame or not; and she'll be unforgiven in a way John Kerry or Al Gore will never know. So there's no 2012 for her either.
I believe that a woman will be elected someday to the Presidency. But that woman will never be Hillary Clinton.
