Terry McAuliffe

The Clinton campaign is now trying to say that it's "good" for the Democratic party for her to stay in the race and drag this out as long as possible. Do they even believe it themselves, or are they just trying to convince themselves each time they say it? There's something about the way they're talking to the media now (both in CNN right now and also the Meet the Press thing on Sunday where McAuliffe thought Tim Russert's father was dead) that almost seems to draw attention to the fact that it's a pointless waste of money for her to stay in the race. It's almost like she's saying "Yes, I can't win, but I'm staying in because it's good for the party."

I predicted that Clinton would explicitly say that white people prefer her a few days before she did; now i am going to predict that she will claim that her staying in the race is good for the economy because she's spending millions of dollars in states like West Virginia and South Dakota.
