Hi Barefoot, I'm glad to see you're posting too! We need some new voices in here. I guess I'm going to give Hillary the benefit of the doubt. I think she's staying in because she's a tremendous fighter i.e. its not over until its over. If some strange revelation came out about Obama tomorrow, for example, he had a tryst with a prostitute, or some other thing, those delegates pledged to him could become unpledged, and she'd be back in the ball game. And I think her hubby is a fighter too, and he's anxious to have a role in politics again, so he's egging her on, thinking that this may be their last chance. I agree with you that it is personal/egotistical for them. But does that make them different from most politicians? I do think they're hoping for a miracle, though.
