Obama Gives a Strong Showing, Yet Clinton Again Refuses to Face Reality

After a strong, decisive victory in North Carolina, Senator Obama displayed a strong showing in Indiana where he lost by a slim margin, despite the fact that Senator Clinton was heavily favored in the state. His strong showing in Indiana is yet another reason for fellow Democrats to rally behind him and make his nomination official. Senator Clinton, on the other hand, vows to push ahead, regardless of the odds against her. Even Senator Clinton's own aids admit her chances of winning are slim, especially considering her campaign is essentially broke and continued fund raising is not expected to bring anything substantial. Even Clinton's own campaign advisers refused to comment on whether or not Mrs. Clinton donated personal money to keep her chances alive. This is clearly a telling sign that the never say die senator must face reality and throw in the towel. Her chances have now realistically dropped from slim to none, to officially none, yet despite the betterment of the Democratic party, Mrs. Clinton is determined to push on. Hopefully, someone with influence will be able to persuade her otherwise, but for now it seems as though the primary will drag on until at least June, to the delight of Republicans and McCain supporters everywhere.
