Stop me if you’ve heard this…

So, a politician begins a massive project, suffers setback after setback, refuses to acknowledge a failing strategy and vows to fight to the bitter end.

President Bush and Iraq? No, Hillary and the Democratic nomination.

She can’t win. The elections in FL & MI were bollocks, and it would be more undemocratic to include those results than to exclude them. There aren’t enough delegates left in play to catch up to Obama, and the superdelegates can follow the money trail well enough to see the Clinton campaign is a sunk ship. Enough of them are deserting like rats to prove that.

Hillary fought a good fight, but needs to realize this isn’t her year, pack up the bus, and try again in ‘12 or maybe ‘16 if Obama wins the general election. McCain has shown this is a viable strategy.

As an aside, many have noted the symmetry between the Clinton campaign and Hillary’s pick for the Kentucky Derby.
