Stick of a fork in Hillary's campaign - it's done.
She lost in a landslide in North Carolina.
She won by a razor-thin margin of 20K votes of 1.2 million cast in Indiana.
She had to win Indiana convincingly. By that standard, her 'win' was really a 'loss.'
Now it comes out that she has loaned her own campaign 6.4 million dollars. As we saw with Romney, once a candidate is self-funding a campaign, it's done.
Will the press call for her exit as they did with Huckabee? I doubt it. Will the Clinton family fund another few million to continue on the path to defeat? I doubt it. Last night in Indiana, she used the dreaded phrase: "whatever happens." She can no longer control the outcome. She can only control her end game, her exit strategy. Her money and her political future are now on the line. It will be interesting to see if she will preserve either.
I predict that her campaign will officially end by this weekend.

This weekend, eh? Pretty bold.
The talking heads were beginning last night to discuss the plausibility of Clinton being BO's running mate. What do you think about that? While I appreciate the theoretical political plusses of the two combining, I just cannot see BO happy with Bill anywhere nearby to look over his shoulder.
Also - I think it deflates his argument to be a change agent, or getting rid of "politics as usual". Wouldn't you think there'd be another woman he could put on his ticket to help with that demographic.
Just pondering...
I do not think think that he will take her as the VP - if he does, he needs to hire a taster.
