I was saving this hunk to use in the podcast but, you know, what podcast? So, I'm just going to drop it here.

Even if Hillary Clinton wins Pennsylvania today, it is extremely unlikely that she will ever overtake Obama in the number of pledged delegates. So, why has Clinton expended so much time, effort and money simply to stay in a race she has no legitimate way of winning?

In 2000, Hillary Clinton was in a tight New York Senate race with Rudy Giuliani. Early on, Giuliani began to take a lead in the polls. But suddenly, something changed and Clinton would ultimately become the junior Senator from New York. What changed? Rudy Giuliani contracted prostate cancer and was forced to withdraw from the race.

Now, Hillary Clinton's strategy at this point in her 2008 campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination becomes clear: Give Obama Cancer.

Isn't that, after all, what the "kitchen sink" strategy is all about? To cause sufficient damage to the opposing candidate so that he can no longer be considered a viable option for voters.

In other news, Clinton campaign staffers were seen handing out free blankets to Native Americans. [rimshot]
