We've already seen a couple Demcratic Party operatives abandon the sinking campaign liner. I predict that in the next two weeks, we will see one or two more quit the Hillary campaign. Once you see the professional political operators quitting, you'll know the end is near for her campaign.

She is favored to win in West Virginia. Obama is favored in Oregon. I think if she wins even one or two more states, she is not going to drop out at all. I think, being unable to accept the fact that the eight year campaign she has waged to get the nomination (which she somehow believes will automatically win her the election) has not succeeded, she's going to take it all the way to the convention and a floor fight. Remember, those so-called "pledged" delegates are only bound to the candidates for the first round of voting. If neither one has enough votes to capture the nomination, after that first round all hell is going to break loose. It will be the kind of political convention the parties had in the 19th Century, that we haven't seen in anyway 60 or 80 years. It will be great fun to watch. But I think that kind of a fight and the wheeling and dealing in promised rewards when the candidate win the presidency also is going to doom whichever candidate eventually wins the nomination.

It will be the best political theater of the 21st Century so far, but as I said I think it will wind up torpedoing whichever candidate wins the nomination in the general election.
