Does the HRC campaign possibly have good intentions?
Watching this race more and more, I'm starting to think there just might be good reasons HRC is staying in the race and that they won't be explicitly explained until after the election and these reasons might be revealed in places like Time and Newsweek in their special election coverage issues (these are the two issues where from the start of the campaigns, there have been reporters who have agreed with the campaigns to not write about certain things until after the election).


Could it be possible she is staying in to keep attention on the two of them and to make it harder for McCain's message is shaded over? Or is she possibly trying to help engage more and more voters and keep more Dem voters excited for as long as possible and that by going to each state, more voters can feel they are playing a role in the selection of a Dem candidate than ever before?

Or maybe Obama is becoming a better candidate through all of this and will later appreciate it more.

Now, I don't think she is pure in all of this and does have underlying motives that serve her own purpose (paying down her own debt, possible future role in an Obama admin, possibly VP), but there has to be other reasons we are missing.

And I don't believe the Super Delegates are going to award her the nomination, because if they did and Obama leads in all the other factors, then we can have a Clinton insider just stand up and make a statement very similar to the one Johnson gave years ago dealing with losing the southern vote for a generation, only this time it would include blacks, young people and new people to the Dem party.
