She has no choice to push on, this is her only chance at running for president. She sure isn't getting any more attractive[:'(]
Edit: I tried to paste her picture from the link to my post but the huntingnet computer even rejects it.

As a hunter and gun owner, I'll be voting for whatever Republican is nominated for president -- looks like McCain. I welcome the self-destructive implications of the continued Democratic cat fight as well as the benefits this provides to the McCain campaign. This is sort of like the sports team that completes its play-off stage early and gets to relax, rest up, recover from injuries, and study game videos to prepare for the championship while the opponents are hacking at each other, wearing each other down, and keeping each other from beginning to prepare for the final championship. Great news for Republicans. There is every chance that one or the other or both of the Democratic candidates will supply valuable ammunition to the Republicans to shoot down the Democratic nominee. Just this past week Hillary's foolish stories about "landing under fire" are going to provide wonderful substance for McCain. Can anyone imagine John McCain calling out "Hillary Clinton has said that she landed 'under fire' and that this qualifies her on issues of foreign policy and to be the commander in chief of our armed forces. Well ladies and gentleman, I've landed under fire before myself, and . . ." A wonderful opportunity to contrast in stark terms the experience of these two.
But to the point . . . from Hillary's perspective, why should she get out of the race? If you don't know that she is in this for herself -- not for the American people, not for the Democratic party, for the raw ambition and self-servingness of herself -- you don't know her very well. Why not hang around? How does this damage Hillary Clinton? If she isn't nominated now, the likelyhood is she won't have another shot at the presidency and her life-long ambition of being the first woman US president will be lost. Things can happen. Lots of things can happen. Things that have happened before. Scandal can happen. An accident can happen -- a plane can crash. No nefarious conspiracy is necessary for this to happen. Why shouldn't Hillary play out her whole hand? Maybe even if she doesn't win the nomination she may be in a stronger power broker position if she stays in. Maybe she has other thoughts on her mind, like where does all the campaign donations go after a candidate drops out of the race? Does any of this ever wind up in the candidate's bank account? Is there some benefit that comes even from controlling where this money goes to even if it isn't in Hillary's bank account? Lots of angles.
By the way, I believe most politicians are in it for themselves and not out of their sense of duty and to do good for our nation. That does not match up well with my experience of human motivation. "I am an intelligent, well educated, resourceful, well connected adult and I am going to sacrifice my economic interests, my leisure time, and my family time not for my own vanity andeconomic benefits, but rather for the good of a large number of people I don't know and have no direct relationship with." This explanation doesn't smell right. So Hillary, while a bold exemplar of the politician, is not truly different from the average politician.
You Go, Girl!
