Why is Clinton still Running?
Before I get some hate comments from Senator Hillary Clinton supporters: I don’t hate Clinton. I have spoken out against unfair Rove-like tactics. Now, with that out of the way…
Politico.com seems to have always leaned toward the right but there was an interesting article today. The article has been widely quoted by Daily Kos. In this article, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei ask why the press is saying there is still as race in the Democractic Party. I have written about Clinton and her real uphill battle; winning really isn’t possible without superdelegate intervention.

From Politico.com:
One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.
Her own campaign acknowledges there is no way that she will finish ahead in pledged delegates. That means the only way she wins is if Democratic superdelegates are ready to risk a backlash of historic proportions from the party’s most reliable constituency.
Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote — which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle — and use that achievement to pressure superdelegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else. (more…)
