Hillary Clinton says she's in it "until a nominee is selected." The numbers are stark and they weigh against her. In order for her to win she needs to sweep up almost all the remaining delegates (superdelegate and pledged by primary vote). This is an impossibility. Therefore, the only thing she can accomplish by not bowing out is to possibly deny Senator Barack Obama a first ballot win and hope she might be able to win on a subsequent ballot. Despite the dismal prospects, Clinton continues to soldier on.

I spent a good portion of my Friday evening at a fund raiser at some banquet hall. You know, the ones everybody gets guilted into going to, or possibly for the open bar serving only wine in a plastic cup or Canadian beer by the pitcher.
