1. She can’t win the nomination without overturning the will of the elected delegates, which will alienate many Democrats.
2. She can’t win the nomination without a bloody convention battle — after which, even if she won, history and many Democrats would cast her as a villain.
3. Catching up in the popular vote is not out of the question — but without re-votes in Florida and Michigan it will be almost as impossible as catching up in elected delegates.
4. Nancy Pelosi and other leading members of Congress don’t think she can win and want her to give up. Same with superdelegate-to-the-stars Donna Brazile.

Why is Hillary getting pressure from the media ? Shouldn’t the real pressure be applied to John Edwards and Al Gore ? Bill Richardson’s endorsement was weeks late in coming … if Edwards waits until after Pennsylvania and endorses Obama, it will put excessive pressure on Obama to win North Carolina … it’s a no-win situation.
Hillary has the right to compete until the convention, yet both camps need to stop bashing each other as all the wounds will be harder to heal plus it opens the Republican attacks.
The longer Edwards and Gore wait, the longer this goes on.
