The Devil would have given her a better deal

It would seem that despite all her years of hard work and enduring her husband, Hilliary Clinton's presidential bid is, shall we say, having some issues. At this point in time is there anything that could reverse the Obama tidal wave or should she call it quits while she still has her dignity intact?

I believe there's nothing she can really do at this point. Bill hasn't helped and realistically he was her big gun to pull out when or if things were getting rocky. Bill has yet to have the desired effect. She should bow out gracefully now before she ruins whatever pull and influence the name Clinton has.

On the remote chance she does somehow manage to pull herself out of this dive she'll most likely lose the general election. Listening to Obama talk-while it may be naive-makes me feel hopeful and optimistic. Listening to Hilliary makes me what to change the channel. In 2000 I voted for McCain mostly due to the way he was able to inspire people, myself included. Unfortunately, I don't feel he's captured people as much as he had then. If Hilliary is the Democratic nominee I will most certainly be voting McCain, but if Obama is the candidate I will probably be voting for him.

Having said this, I doubt I am alone in this type of outlook and probably many share this view. So the big question is will Hilliary figure this out and do what's best for her party and the democrat agenda or will she want to do what's best for Hilliary? Of course, in actuality this question is never going to be answered as she doesn't think there's a difference between the two choices.
