Fuck it, let Hillary stay in the race. By doing so, she's playing by the rules. So let her drag this out and lose, and I'm sure that she'll back Obama when the time comes. Is it a play for a VP slot on the ticket? Maybe; maybe even probably. After all, it's easier to jump to the presidential position from the VP spot eight years from now. She's got patience; in eight years, she'll be 69 or 70. McCain has proven septuagenarianism isn't a disqualifying point in presidential politics. So let Hillary stay in the race. She isn't hurting anyone, I don't think. Obama knows the spotlight is on him, and he's continually focusing more of his rhetoric against John McCain every day. He knows this is a run-up to a general election between him and McCain, and he's acting appropriately. Meanwhile, Hillary is playing by the rules.
