FIRST OR SECOND?

I don't know if this qualifies as second 'I won't resign' statement or whether it is just an elaboration of the first one yesterday.

She’s in it to win it — for at least another five months

This seems extreme so it is probably meant to do just what we think it will do. Reinforce her own campaign, quiet donors, and keep the lid on an increasingly difficult situation.

Yesterday, it is said that Obama gained 9 more delegates out of the Texas caucus meaning that he ended up getting, net, more delegates from Texas than she did. It will, apparently, be announced tomorrow. They have only counted 60% of the votes so far.

She can make noise now to cover the fact that she is falling behind every day.

It is hard to believe that the Clintons would take it to the scorched earth phase but who knows?

The people who have never liked them would not be surprised and the people who now see them as obstructing the Party's progress will be more than willing to believe it.

It is a bit scary.

I am sitting tight with my prediction that it will be over when Indiana and North Carolina go for Obama.

She could technically win in both states but it is unlikely given his momentum.

Another thing.

I thought Edwards would endorse him after NC but maybe not. I read today that he and Elizabeth didn't like Obama's approach to them. Maybe if he kills in the election, the Edwards will get over their sniffiness about Obama not kissing their asses. They don't like the Clintons either.

So. Having written this, I will take this as part of the first 'I won't resign' statement toward the Galbraith quota. See below.

Didn't I say that I was going to give the election a rest?
