Seth Godin brings up another great arguement for why Hillary Clinton should bow out of the Democratric race today. Even if she were to win the nomination at this point, it would be at the cost of the White House. Continuing this race will further split democrats, and drive some away completely to the point of either not voting at all, or supporting Green Party candidate Ralph Nader (I have a few friends who have already expressed that as an option).
If she were to win the delegate fight because of her superdelegates and "good 'ol boy network", she would win for the same reasons the democrats fought about 8 years ago when Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college to George W. Bush. The fact is, Hillary is killing the democratic party's chance of taking back the White House every day she stays in this race.
Obama/Edwards '08!
