I noticed that when she came out last night to make her

"victory" speech, Bill looked like he knew she was taking her final bow, and the crowd seemed to react in the same way. Even the folks on "Morning Joe" made note of the same thing. The fact that she cancelled all her TV appearances this morning may mean that someone may finally be talking some sense into her, convincing her that fighting on is now counterproductive, not just in terms of the November election, but for her place in the party. She can either keep fighting what is obviously a futile, losing battle, and be seen as a bitter loser, or she can start to re-polish her image by giving in gracefully, and using her obvious power to enhance the party's chances in the presidential and congressional elections. The choice is hers. I hope she makes the right one finally.
