The campaign for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States should be over Tuesday night after the results of the South Dakota and Montana primaries are tallied. At least it will be if Hillary has any sense. All eyes will be on Hillary to see if she gives a concession speech Tuesday night in New York or if she chooses to continue her campaign all the way to the convention in August. I can imagine that most of the Democratic Party is praying she’ll end her campaign with a gracious speech praising Obama and thanking the hard work of her supporters and staff. The sooner they have a unified party, the sooner they can get busy with the work of taking on McCain.

 If she doesn’t give a concession speech and vows to press on until the convention she will essentially torpedo any chance she has of running for president again. I don’t think that people could endure another Clinton campaign if she continues the next few months in the same fashion of the last few weeks-making excuses for why she isn’t winning and vowing to continue her campaign in spite of what is best for the party.

A Hillary vow to keep fighting will confirm the worst thought that voters have of Hillary- that she’s a power hungry individual who will do anything to win. Just ask yourself what other politician would be willing to win the nomination of his or her party by convincing unelected delegates to overturn the will of the voters? There comes a point when you accept the reality that it is over. The sooner the Clinton campaigns realizes that and acknowledges that, the better off she and her party will be.
