WHY HILLARY WON’T QUIT

By Dick Morris
04.2.2008

Hillary Clinton’s campaign currently owes vendors $8 million, exclusive of the $5 million she owes herself. She cannot use general election money to pay for this debt. If she begins to be anything less than certain that she will stay in up to the convention, she won’t raise any money and will be stuck with the debt. She also realizes that it is only by projecting an almost manic air of certainty that she has any chance at all of hanging onto super delegates. The first whiff they get of a withdrawal, they will all run screaming to Obama to get on the late train. Don’t think that Hillary is delusional. She knows she’s lost but she has no choice but to play the rest of the game. To fold now would leave her in an untenable situation.

    Great point!

    Hillary has realized that politics today has become so very expensive that it takes a lot of money……… even to be defeated. Hillary is almost bankrupt and her role is played out; and her longest day will soon come to an end. Go where you belong from now on –into History.

    […] I say the process is going to continue. Hillary ain’t going to quit. Dick Morris believes Hillary knows she’s lost but is sticking in regardless.. but I’m not so sure. I think Hillary still believes she can […]
