“I am someone who just won’t quit,” shouted Hillary Clinton, and the flags waved, and the crowd cheered, and she nodded vigorously, in profound agreement with herself.
Mrs Clinton was on stage at a crossroads in a small town for one of her final rallies before today’s Pennsylvania primary. This could prove to be one of the last acts in her presidential campaign: but from appearances it might have been one of the first.
If this were a scene from Rocky, the boxing film about the local hero to whom she has often compared herself, this would be the moment when Sylvester Stallone is slumped bloodily against the ropes, eyes glazed, being fanned by men with broken noses urging him to get to his feet for one last round.
But it is not like that. Mrs Clinton seems as tough, determined and chilly as she has always been. “I have no doubt in my mind we can make this happen,” she said, hoarse from the repetition, but otherwise utterly unchanged. Not a hair is uncoiffed, not a thread on the oatmeal suit is out of place, hardly a word is any different, or any less convincing, than when this marathon began last January.

She's behind in the popular vote and the delegate count. Her staying in the race could lead to the losing of this election for the Democrats. If she was really interested in seeing the ideas she preaches come to life she'd accept that she isn't going to win the nomination and support Obama. This has turned into a Democrat civil war and has disheartened voters quite a bit.
The republicans already have a nomination. It seems like this attitude is going to hand the election over on a silver platter.-

It is starting to look that way. But Senator Clinton is the only one who can stop this by giving up her failed bid. Will she put her blind ambition ahead of her country? I guess we'll see.
