Subject: RE: BS: Hillary's Bow-Out Date Contest...
Congratulations, Dan.   I foolishly assumed that Hillary was less self-destructive than she is.

Thanks to her conduct, now the only possible way she ever has a chance at the presidency herself is if Obama wins in November. And of course she'll have a long wait before her next opportunity.

Had she bowed out after winning, say in WV, she would have built up a reservoir of good will in the party for her own future ambitions. And I thought she was smart enough to realize this. Now she has no good will in the party at large--beyond her own partisans. And many women, as well as men, want nothing to do with a Hillary presidency.

We'll see just how hard she campaigns for Obama. That will tell the tale on her own future.
