Clinton keeps her campaign going on, with another six million of her own money.
"In West Virginia on Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Clinton said that it was “still early” — even though 50 of 56 nominating contests have concluded — and that the “dynamic electoral environment” could still swing the nomination her way."
Yeah, and the Large Hadron Collider might permit a dragon from an alternate reality to appear on Earth. Clinton is now in the territory where the only way she can gain the nomination is to rip another page out of Karl Rove's playbook and just outright steal it. Why the fuck not; she's been campaigning like a Republican all along, she might as well resort to subverting the process and stealing the nomination.
Nicholas Kristof has it right: If Clinton keeps this up, all she does is make it easier for McCain to win. That is not exactly rocket science, lots of people have been saying this for the last several weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton tries to split the difference by dropping the slashing attacks on Obama and by just campaigning on her policy ideas.
(Speaking of which, has she introduced her "gas tax holiday" bill yet?)
At this point, the honorable thing to do would be for the Clinton campaign to commit seppuku, but "honor" is not a very popular concept in those circles.

With respect....Take this to your banker for collateral. Clinton's ongoing campaign is not going to change the outcome of the general election. That you would believe or agree with that moron, Kristol, who has been absolutely WRONG about each and EVERY prediction that he has made, amazes me. If Kristol says something will happen, it is prima fascia evidence that the opposite will happen. I'm disappointed in you.

Nicholas KRISTOF, not William KRISTOL.
