[Dems2008] Watched 'HardBall' guests' debate on whether Hillary....

should drop out.  I have to say (my two cents):

• it is offensive for one to assert that she MUST get out
• what's wrong with two or three or four or five more primary elections, and for voters in those states to have their say
• to the assertion that her remaining in will "destroy the party," I say "Bunk."
• What would destroy the party is the BEHAVIOR of the loser's supporters in this ongoing competition.   Yes, Obama has won 10 or 11 in a row, and if I were Hillary (or she were me) I'd examine the question of "how much further," but to say that outsiders should have a view on whether she withdraws is obnoxious.   THIS is how we pick our nominees, and it is not only a chance for voters to vote, it is practice for our eventual winner, and it keeps our message on the front page.
• The candidates' CONDUCT and the supporters' REACTIONs after the contest is decided will determine whether (as I suspect is NOT going to be the case) our party "tears itself apart."
• That's the sort of hyperbole that losers try to peddle.   I'm even more offended when its outsiders or the other side (so far as I know, Obama has NOT in any way suggested that Hillary should get out; it is HER call).
