Never Say Die

Hillary Clinton announced that even though it is mathematically and realistically impossible for her to win the Democratic nomination, she is determined to continue on to the White House.  She has every right to do so.  She can get in line and buy a ticket to take a tour just like everyone else.  That’s the sort of thing this country was made of.

Unbowed by reality just like our current president, Hillary remains steadfast to the voices in her head.  “They just keep telling me to stay in the race, and I have to follow their lead,” she said.

“With a win in West Virginia, also known as the pulse of America, we’ll be right back on track,”  Clinton’s top campaign adviser said.  “These are very exciting times for the campaign.  By the way, are you accepting resumes at the moment.”

Obama said he appreciates the competition from Clinton.  “With her still in the race, at least I’ll have someone to run against,” he said.  When asked about John McCain, Obama, like most of the press corps, had to be reminded that McCain was the Republican nominee he would be running against in November.  “Oh yeah, him.  Is he still around?  I thought after his pastor said that Katrina was divine retribution for wickedness in America that he’d have his hands full.”

When John McCain was reached for comment he said, “Nurse, my soup is too hot.”
