Hillary Clinton's victory enough to keep destructive campaign going

Here's the simple reality of this corrosive slugfest: Hillary Clinton can't win, but she's convinced Barack Obama just might lose.

So unless her cash-starved campaign can't raise or borrow enough to compete, her Pennsylvania victory keeps her in, and she will ratchet up her slash-and-burn tactics that have driven her negatives up but thrown Obama off his game.

"There's every reason to continue and very little reason not to," said pollster Doug Schoen, longtime partner to Clinton confidant Mark Penn.

ugh, it makes me sick. I understand that neither one of them have enough votes to win the nomination without the SD's, but JESUS! If she wins, the Dems will definitely lose. Which is sad, since this should be an easy election for them.

I'm not sure she'd lose it for the Dems, having in mind who stands behind her.

idk, I think that a lot of independents would swing over to McCain. She rallies up the base, but that wasn't enough in the last election. It's always possible, but I've known many a Clinton-hater in my life so to me it seems like an uphill battle (much like her entire campaign). But that's just my anti-Hillary sentiment speaking. As an independent, I prefer Obama and McCain to her. but that's just me.

I still think Hillary can win. I think Obama will be surprised when the supers start casting their votes.
