If Hillary Clinton wanted a graceful exit
Hillary Clinton is open to all kinds of useful advice, but here’s some she probably doesn’t want to hear: she just quit the presidential race now. “If Hillary Clinton wanted a graceful exit, she’d drop out now—before the March 4 Texas and Ohio primaries—and endorse Barack Obama.” Why? If she doesn’t win Texas and Ohio on March 4 by 20 points or more, “the delegate math is forbidding.” And then comes Pennsylvania, where “the Clinton campaign did not even file full delegate saltes. That’s how sure they were of putting Obama away on Super Tuesday.” And the much-ballyhooed super delegates won’t turn things around eitehr. Ergo, Alter writes: “The choice before her is to go down ugly with a serious risk of humiliation at the polls, or to go down classy, with a real chance of redemption.”
