Maybe she's hoping for the superdelegates to choose her over Obama? Though if most of the people voted for Obama I don't see why the superdelegates would want Hillary to run for president in November.

Maybe she's hoping for the superdelegates to choose her over Obama? Though if most of the people voted for Obama I don't see why the superdelegates would want Hillary to run for president in November.
Alot of people are baffled as to why she is staying. All the morning news today are talking about it.
She said she's staying at least until June 3.
Is she being selfish, hardheaded? why? I mean she can't be that naive as to realize excacly the point you are making?
All that I can figure out is that she is trying to make a very strong point: that she is not a quitter.
And you have to respect her for that, no?
It depends.
Is she still in it because she's not a quitter? Is she still in because she's too proud to admit defeat? Is she still in it because she's too stubborn to see she's defeated? Is she still in it because she is hoping a last minute scandal will throw the remaining delegates in her favor?
As of right now, Obama needs 73 delegates and Hillary needs 256. The odds are not looking good for her.
Would an Al Gore endorsement help her this late in the game?
The only thing democrats need to consider is that no candidate has ever won the White House without winning a certain portion of the "Reagan Democrat" blue-collar white vote. I think the number is 30%. She has demonstrated that she can win that crowd, at least, a good number of them. Obama's support is mainly in the African-American communities and those with advanced degrees. That is a large number of people, but it also leaves out a huge swath of America. That's exactly the same demographic that supported Dukakis. That alone, gives me reason to pause and equivocate between who I want to see in the White House.
