Reply #22: If Hillary had quit 3 months ago,

[Frances]

the Wright thing would not have come up until October. Much better that it came up in April.

Also, if she had quit 3 months ago, Obama would not have had the impressive victory in North Carolina, nor the near win, which amounted to victory politically, in Indiana.

Many, many more people registered to vote in the primaries and will thus be eligible to vote for Obama in November because of the Obama-Hillary rivalry.

Obama is stronger, not weaker, for winning the delegates he has in a hard fought battle IMO.

Winning the battle with Hillary, whom everyone considers tough as nails, at the ballot box will work in Obama's favor in November.
