Reply #28: "But she's got every right to try."

Agreed, she does have the right. But the right to do something does not automatically translate to it being justified. And in this situation she should recognize the major damage she is doing to the party and its chances in the General election by continuing a race she has almost no hope of winning, acknowledge reality, concede, and throw her support behind Obama.

I posted a thread many days ago asking Clinton supporters to explain to me the specifics of how they still expected Hillary could win the nomination. It got 144 views, and 0 answers to my question after two bumps for responses. Zero. I continued to see a lot of posts declaring Obama is done, and Hillary will win, but it's not happening. I was willing to give the Clinton supporters the opportunity to be heard out on a detailed explanation of how continuing the campaign was justified and not a single one stepped forward to outline a realistic scenario in which Clinton secures the nomination. That just confirmed my previous conclusion, the race is over.
