There is no justification left for Senator Clinton to stay in the race now, given the results yesterday; farther behind in both delegates and popular vote. It is indeed over. If she now insists in staying in thru the last primaries in June, it should become clear to everyone that she values her own personal ambition of attaining the presidency ahead of the electoral success of the Democratic party. She shouldn't want that to be her legacy. My hunch is that she will drop out within a few days.

I think we have seen the last of the state by state melodramas I sure hope so. I am not looking forward to hearing about some other gland that she has three of or how good she is with the Nunchucks.

I'm convinced that the only thing, seriously, going on now is the terms under which Clinton gets out. Just how gracefully she does so, what sort of deals she strikes, what sort of political future she sees for herself. The Clinton folk may have to keep going for a bit to make certain they have enough leverage to get out the way they would wish to do so. But I still don't see any answer to the question to them: tell me again some possible scenario by which you can win the nomination, else it's clear you are only staying in to damage Obama. And to the degree her campaign provides a weak answer, to that degree she damages her own future in the party, and thus her ability to get a presidential nomination down the road.
