Bravo, Bobert! You've got Janet pegged. Couldn't have put it any better.




Re: Topic

As I've suggested earlier, tomorrow would be an absolutely perfect time for Hillary to bow out. She leaves, having won WV handily.--with the spotlight only on her--which it will not be when she wins KY next week--she'll have to share the limelight---an unnatural act for her---since Obama will win OR.

"I want to thank the people of West Virginia and all my other supporters across this great country. People of all races and religions who have come through for me so many times....   

My only regret is that this time it will be impossible for me to win the nomination and be able to represent you in fighting for your rights in health care, employment rights and so much more. But I want to urge you to support the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, and give him all the support you have given me...."

And so on, doing her best imitation of Sydney Carton--and thereby setting herself up for 2016, if not 2012--and wiping out at a stroke most of the bad feeling her viciously divisive campaign has caused.

And if she doesn't do this, she's unlikely to have much support for another run from the very Democratic movers and shakers who originally backed her to the hilt.

So the question becomes: will her pride and stubbornness prevent her from seeing her own best long-term interests?
