Negotiating the terms of her surrender
It's now evident that it's over for Hillary.

As she continues to soldier on, despite her odds, despite the SD's bailing, despite her recent disappointing comments about race, despite her growing pariah-like image within her own party, the question now becomes:

How can she gracefully leave the race while maintaining whatever remaining dignity she has left?? :shrug:

Obviously, the Clintons have a high capacity for shame, but I also think it would be best for the party if she could end this on a high note....instead of the weak and pathetic note she is singing now.

She'll probably take West Virginia and Kentucky by sizeable margins. Obama will take Oregon and the final nail will be in the coffin on 5/20, but at least she will go out with the perception of being a "winner".

At this point, she's gotta take whatever she can get. Hopefully she won't do too much damage to the party between now and then.

5. How about this? Unconditional surrender and she won't be sent into EXILE?
Cause her Democratic passport has been cancelled.

7. She will run a bare-bones campaign for the next 11 days so she can raise more money than she spends

in an effort to whittle down her own massive debt.

She will do well in WV, KY, and get slaughtered in OR.

She'll have maximized her fund raising possibilities to the last dollar after May 20, and then she will either drop out or simply suspend her campaign.

She will be invited to participate in the VP selection process, and it is possible that a Clinton surrogate may be picked, but she will not be offered the VP slot.
