Does Clinton have an ounce of dignity?



If Senator Clinton wins Pennsylvania (which is likely), she has one final chance at saving her dignity and future aspirations in the Democratic Party. DROP OUT. She could leave this race as a "winner" with a theoretical chance at the nomination, but bowing out for the good of the party. She could then pursue the post of majority leader of the Senate (a position she is more equipped to handle anyways) and a future run at the White House.

Anything short of leaving the race the day after the Pennsylvania primary is putting her own self interests above the interests of this nation.

If she insists on continuing a path of destruction, despite the delegate math which even with Michigan and Florida shows she can't win, then all Democrats - especially superdelegates including Clinton supporters - should unite behind Senator Obama to immediately give him the necessary delegates for the nomination.

Here's the best case scenario for Clinton:

Pennsylvania: 56-44
Guam: 48-52
Indiana: 55-45
North Carolina: 46-54
West Virginia: 56-44
Kentucky: 56-44
Oregon: 48-52
Puerto Rico: 59-41
Montana: 55-45
South Dakota: 56-44
Florida: 57-43
Michigan: 55-45

DELEGATE RESULTS: Obama - 1818, Clinton - 1729

My predictions (if Clinton stays in the race):

Pennsylvania: 52-48
Guam: 37-63
Indiana: 49-51
North Carolina: 44-56
West Virginia: 52-48
Kentucky: 51-49
Oregon: 43-57
Puerto Rico: 53-47
Montana: 47-53
South Dakota: 45-55
Florida: 50-33 (losing half their delegates)
Michigan: 55-40 (losing half their delegates)

DELEGATE RESULTS: Obama - 1763, Clinton - 1613
