Contesting votes in Florida and Michigan and reportedly, Texas, could do irreparable damage to the Democratic party (cue schadenfreude). As they are pretty much ideological twins, her only motivation for fighting on would be ambition. To do so would make it more likely that John McCain beats the eventual Democratic nominee.

My feelings, embodied in a direct quote from the Economist;

Jake, Jake, Jake... irreparable damage? Do you think in today's media climate, a lengthy primary process still presents damage the way it did 20, 40, or 50 years ago?

Can you please begin a series of articles on who of these three candidates will make the best SNL character? which makes the most compelling TV?
