Hillary Clinton, CTDAmong the most fascinating items in a day when the pundits declared the race over, no less than George McGovern told Clinton to drop out and Drudge reported that superdelegates don't want to meet with her: CNN says Dianne Feinstein, a superdelegate and Clinton loyalist, has been trying to reach the candidate for two days and can't get her calls returned.
I saw Hillary on TV last night vowing to fight on, and talking about seating the Michigan and Florida delegations, which would tear the Democratic convention apart and almost hand the election to McCain. But the Clinton campaigning is clearly circling the drain. She's canceled all public appearances today; maybe she's getting ready to do the right thing for the party and call it quits.

One might hope she's getting ready to drop out, but I won't believe it until I hear the announcement. She's back out campaigning today (according to NPR) even though she can't win. Ironic, given that DLC insiders like Clinton were castigating Ralph Nader in 2000. Clinton can keep fighting on but it's no use. It's not my party, but I'm looking forward to an election year where I might be able to stomach voting for the Democratic nominee. We'll see what happens.
