Another Reason For Hillary To Stay

While many pundits and Democrat activists seem to want the race to end, Jim Geraghty has this reason why St. Hillary can stay in and should stay in the race.
Kennedy Went to the 1980 Convention Trailing By 756 Delegates
Fun Foreshadowing
Fact of the Day: In 1980, Ted Kennedy came into the Democratic convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City with 1,225 delegates to President Carter's 1,981 and 122 uncommitted.
If Kennedy could take it to the convention when he trailed by 756 delegates, Hillary can go to the convention trailing by her current 150 or so.

Since Sen. Barack does not have as overwhelming a lead that then President Carter did in 1980, he needs to deliver a knockout punch in the eight remaining contests. And if he does not, and St. Hillary scores some more victories, very possible with the states coming up, St. Hillary can always go to Denver with the Florida and Michigan trump cards. And I think that is the reason that she will stay in the race.
And, credit Rush Limbaugh to continuing the Operation Chaos in Indiana yesterday. The reality is that Sen. Barack should have won Indiana because it is right next door to his home state of Illinois.
St. Hillary lives to fight another primary round and look for her to go all the way. She has nothing to lose.
