Clinton is DONE...

Not to be overly harsh, but the former first lady is toast.

I just went to CNN's handy little delegate counter to confirm my suspicions.

Go the the counter and give Hillary 60-40 victories in EVERY REMAINING RACE. Then, put in that the super delegates ALSO go for Hillary 60-40. You'll agree, I think, that this scenario is IMPOSSIBLE for Clinton to achieve, but take a look at the results.

60-40 Clinton in all the remaining races, AND among the super delegates gives you:

Obama 2039 delegates

Clinton 1980 delegates.

So, if Clinton does the impossible, she'll only lose by 59 delegates.

Good luck with that Hillary.

Now she's feeding her campaign war-chest a heap of her own moneyin order to keep things going until the bitter end.

She's like the mortally wounded Terminator, still feebly crawling towards her prey even though reduced to a legless endoskeleton. It's a sad sight and an unfortunate coda to her political career.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call this the coda of her political career. She's gonna lose the nomination, not get drummed out of politics.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to still see Senate Majority Leader Clinton in the future.

Perhaps, but right now she's got "Washed Up" written all over her. I think her eight long years as First Lady have pushed up her political best-before date, whether deservedly or not...
