    Clinton, through her proxies (Terry McAuliffe, for example) have been saying that the only good media coverage is coming from Fox News. They've been saying that Fox News really is fair and balanced.

    The chances of Hillary Clinton winning are very, very low. If you disagree with me, I (non-rhetorically) invite you to put money on the prospect. Obama will be the candidate in the fall.

    When Obama is the candidate in the fall, Fox News will say that he once sold crack-cocaine to children. When Obama's proxies say that's ridiculous and racist, Fox News will say that even the Democrat Party's last chairman says Fox News is fair and balanced. That really, really does give Fox News credibility.

    If Clinton wants to stay in the race until 2018, that's fine with me, but as long as she is so unlikely to win, she has to run in a way that doesn't hurt Obama's chances in November (Obama, on the other hand, can say things that hurt Clinton's chances in November because she is not going to be the nominee). If she's going to run in a way that hurts Obama's chances in November then every single Democrat in a leadership position has to use every single tool -- including at the very least pressuring superdelegates -- to get her our of the race.
