After PA, Clinton Moves On to State of Denial

The Future is now. Supers must activate to "86" the Clinton charade.

THE CHARADE IS HARMFUL TO SELF AND PARTY

With nothing left to decide, except her margin of defeat among elected delegates, we have to ask the damage done to truth of the Clinton campaign continuing the charade that there is a race-to-win going on.

Without doing severe damage to self and Party, you cannot stand in front of voters and say, "Vote for me, it will make a difference", when it will not.

People are going to figure out that Clinton is a sentimental vote, after which they will get angry for being given too rosy a picture of the possibilities.
Without doing severe damage to self and Party, you cannot stand in front of voters and say, "Vote for me, it will make a difference", when it will not. I mean, sooner or later, people are going to figure out that Clinton is a sentimental vote, after which they will get angry for being given too rosy a picture of the possibilities.

What's more, Obama can no longer be complicit in the charade, out of respect for the position that the Clintons have within the party. He's got to tell the truth, he's got to lead the Party (ready or not), and he's got to change his campaign to sound a lot more like a nominee (complete with the fierce burdens of that), rather than someone doing battle with Hillary, still, right? He could signal the change by engaging Bill Clinton directly ... how about "this is the biggest charade that I've ever seen" (snidely echoing New Hampshire).

Put another way, the two-front fight that Obama campaign faced and didn't handle exceptionally well, now has to shift to a one-front fight.

No reason Hillary cannot continue to run, but she ought to adopt a posture something like Huckabee, rather than tell everyone that they can push her down the yellow brick road, when that road is Obama's.
