Hillary and Bill are destroying their reputation...look how they are conducting their campaign...Are they really concerned about the best interest of the party...? Math matters. Between now and mid April the Super Delegates in the Party could end this by doing the math and assessing the damage of the current "anything goes" Clinton Campaign. This much is clear: Senator Clinton can not win the Nomination without inflicting great damage on the Democratic Party. If she does manage to carve a rough path to the Nomination, having her at the top of the Ticket will hurt Democrats up and down the ticket in all 50 States. Now, Senator Clinton might be able to eek out a 50%+1 victory, but the costs will be very, very high. And it is very, very unlikely she can win under any circumstances. According to Chuck Todd on Countdown last night, she needs to win 65% of all remaining contests AND Uncommitted Super Delegates to have any chance. Obama only needs to win 45% of all remaining contests. Each time he beats 45%, Senator Clinton's "magic number" grows. If only 50 Super Delegates move to Obama in the next six weeks, this race is over. They should move now. I know that she is "in it to win it", but I just wish she would occasionally think about her Country and her Party. These years of Republican rule clearly prove that the ends do not justify the means. It is another lesson of the Bush years I wish Senator Clinton would absorb. She should join the reality based community and admit defeat. The Clintons have been "Breaking the Final Rule"... huffingtonpost.com

Dear Hillary, First, I'm honored that you'd think me worthy of a response..does it have anything to do with the fact that I'm Albanian and you want me to canvass for you in Detroit with all those Kosovars? Hillary, your letter reflects so much about what I want our politicians to change, finally. As a superb lawyer, you know how to play gymnastics with phrases and their meanings like the best of them But our country has been torn apart by politicians wasting more time tearing each other down than finding solutions to helping the voters that put them in office. I respect your and Bill's history in defending civil rights but that's all it is, history. When came time to practicing what you'd implored other to do, you have failed. Hillary, let's face it, you've lived a life of privelege when it comes to race..never having to sacrifice anything in order to transcend race until this year. Barack Obama's candidacy has forced you, for the first time, to compete with a Black man for a job. He's made extraordinary efforts to make his a race-neutral campaign. You instead thru surrogates and your volunteers on the ground, have played to the fears of White and Hispanic blue collar voters. Obama hasn't made an issue of the ground workers because he hasn't wanted to drag this campaign down that road. But you know the truth. Hillary, I have no doubt that you're extraordinarily gifted..At times I struggle whether it's you or Howard Wolfson's fault...no matter, I wish you'd stuck to why you are more qualified for the job than fanning the flames of bigotry.
