This is well beyond the beginning of the end of the Clinton campaign for Presidency. With Leahy and Dodd (Obama supporters no doubt, but nationally recognized Dem leaders as well) calling for her to step aside, reports of Clinton superdelegates saying they will go with the pledged delegate winner (see TPM), Bob Casey breaking his "no endorsement" stance, and the general settling in of the "Clinton can't win" theme in the MSM, the writing is well beyond being on the wall. The writing is the wall at this point. How long Hillary decides to stay in beyond May 6th could well decide what her future in the Democratic party will be. I hope that she decides to pull out on May 7th, as that will be a date by which she will have had one last chance to pull out a miracle (winning all three of PA, NC and IN) and barring said miracle there will be no chances left for her to significantly alter the dynamics of the race (at least in a democratic and honorable way). So fight on until May 7th Hillary and then if the race is still in the current Obama vise-grip, please step aside. You have a long and illustrious senate career ahead of you and all of us democrats will be supportive of you in that role. Please don't make me (a two time Bill Clinton presidential voter and two time Hillary Clinton Senate voter) and others like me rethink our position that you in the end are a loyal democrat.
Edwards dropping out today according to Chuck Todd on MSNBC. He will be missed. Good luck Senator but we will still need you to lead the fight against the lobbyists. Post your reactions
