And none too soon. This torturous phase of the Presidential election has finally come to a close. Or has it? Hillary Clinton is one of those politicians who chooses her words very carefully. She did not concede the primary to Barack Obama. She is not releasing her delegates. She's pressing "pause," and waiting to see if something big blows up in the Obama campaign, that would allow her to step right back in.
This may just be like a pre-nuptial agreement to her: not really hoping to need it, but protecting herself just the same. And I guess that's OK. But if she's counting on something going wrong, hoping for it. . .that would kind of suck.

They'll gladly vote for John McCain in the hopes that Hillary will get to run against him in four years. It's almost cultlike in Camp Hillary, delusional and scary. The fact that Clinton allows this on her own site speaks volumes to me.
