From the Department of Reaching Way Too Far For A Stunning Headline:
Edited on Fri Mar-28-08 12:48 PM by FLDem5
After all the hoopla of Leahy calling on Senator Clinton to pull out of the race, I open The Page and see



"Holy crap!" thinks I, "it really was a misstatement."

I click on the link for "the full story"

and read:

“Senator Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to. As far as the delegate count and the interests of a Democratic victory in November go, there is not a very good reason for drawing this out. But as I have said before, that is a decision that only she can make.”


That's a draw back? Uh... not really. Nice try though, Mark.

1. I guess he could have meant, drawing back to strike a blow
Regardless, it's a stupid headline.

2. If her last name was Huckabee instead of Clinton
The MSM (and party leaders) would have been screaming for her to quit for the last month.

I really hate the double standard in play where everyone is afraid to insult Hillary by telling her its over and she needs to get out to help her own party.
