THE GALBRAITH RULE

I have written before about the late, great J. Kenneth Galbraith who developed many 'rules' and theories about economics and politics.

One of these is: "When a politician says he or she will not resign three times, s/he will".

I wonder if the Galbraith Rule applies here.

Clinton Rules Out Leaving Race Early

Start counting.

The pressure from the big guys is increasing.

Casey stops being neutral, endorses Obama and gets on the bus with his own team helping out in Pennsylvania.

Leahy says she ought to step down.

Pelosi and Dean are setting June and July, respectively, as the times when it should be over.

I read elsewhere that 'they' (the Clinton campaign) are saying that even winning Pennsylvania is not enough. She has to get Indiana. And if she doesn't get Indiana she will step down.

Remember. Three times.
