Hillary's last hurrah?

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign blitz in South Florida tomorrow could amount to a fareweIl tour, with only a few remaining contests left before June 3 and rival Barack Obama continuing to expand his lead.

"My people are just dying to see her,'' said longtime Democratic activist Barbara Effman, who said one woman "had to pull the car over to the side of the road'' when she told her the news.

"I get telephone calls every day, begging her to stay in,'' Effman said. "They want her to be on the ticket, they want her to be on top of the ticket."

But even Effman sounded a bit wistful, adding that "it's an opportunity to thank her friends, to thank the grass roots.''

I have heard analyst on CNN Politics, using the analogy of a basketball game. In retrospect, they are right. Hilary Clinton, is like a little child, who shows up with the only basketball. Everyone else wants to play, so they pick her. They agree to the game rules, "first one to ten (10)." However, when the little spoiled brat (who owns the ball) loses, they offer compromise.
"Wait! First one to fifteen (15).?"
"No!"
"Okay, best 2 out of 3?"
"No! You agreed to first one to 10. You lose, now let us play on."
It is here, the spoiled brat takes the ball and goes home, that no one plays.

If the democratic party allows this, imagine having to explain this to your children. Someone who would split the party; play the (feminine) race card and most importantly, try to change rules she agreed to and said is what should happen, if they changed their primary.
"If I don't win, nobody does."
The Clintons continue; to exert high morals…
