Exit strategies
John Heilemann’s piece in New York Magazine about how Hillary Clinton might be persuaded to drop out is essential reading. Here's the key paragraph: “Some senior members of Clinton’s campaign have no intention of sticking around if Obama is substantially ahead come June; as much as they’re devoted to their boss, they want nothing to do with a black-bag operation designed to destroy her rival, no matter what the cost. But these same people are also deeply convinced—beyond spin, beyond talking points, to their core—that Obama would be doomed against McCain. And Clinton believes this, too, which is one important reason why she persists despite odds that grow longer each passing day.”
The Obama campaign has been organisationally brilliant, out-manoeuvring the Clintons pretty much every step of the way. But what they need to think about now, is how they can give Hillary a dignified out.
