It seems like every week the question is posed: "Why is Hillary still running?"
Since the day John Edwards relieved himself from the race, I have been a Hillary supporter. After another day of primaries, and another split vote, my stance is wavering.
I am reminded of one of my favorite websites from the '04 campaign: www.JohnKerryIsADoucheBagButImVotingForHimAnyway.com (which does not exist anymore, sorry.) That site catered to the "anyone but Bush" crowd and at this point I am leaning toward joining the "anyone but McCain" crowd.
Today I found a very interesting blog entry that gives cynical, albeit plausible, reasons for why Clinton hasn't dropped out of the race to be the Democratic nominee for President. I'm not saying I believe or agree with what the 52 year old, self proclaimed "old-school conservative/libertarian" is saying, but frankly, it scares me.
Here is a small taste:
"If Hillary was interested in Party unity she would have dropped out when it became clear that she had no chance of overtaking Obama in pledged delegates. And I have no doubt she would work her hardest to support the nominee of the Party, as long as that nominee’s last name is Clinton."

Bah! I've been an Obama supporter since the first Super Tuesday, but I like that Hillary is still in the race. I've come to believe that he's helping bring out massive numbers of new voters (even if they end up voting for Obama) by making sure voters in the later states still have a choice. Have you noticed how no one ever mentions the Republican primaries any more? No one to pick from. I also actually believe her when she says she'll support whomever wins the nomination , even if it isn't her. Call me overly optimistic...
