Yes. She should stay and he should1. announce a vice presidential nominee on the morning of May 31st when they meet to settle FL and MI delegates.
2. drive her into debt by making the races in WV and KY close enough.
3. Force more superdelegates to support him, but also publicly shame her.

I think part of this is because despite 30 wins, Obama has been gracious in concession speeches, praising Hillary for her campaign and focusing more on McCain than Hillary. Hillary on the other hand has run a campaign destroying Obama's character and has not conceded an inch to Obama in any of her victories.She is of course being competitive but she may be doing no one a favor in the process. It would be harder to bring Hillary supporters in to the fold, because they have been driven in to the process by hate and fear and not be hope and optimism.

I am not suggesting he is a native of Kenya. He does have ties to Kenya and it is a key point he himself makes every time he gets to discuss foreign policy credentials.Posted at February 26, 2008 6:40 PM in response to Native to Kenya and not Somalia

percentages can be misleading:The chance that anyone is represented by an union has gone down throughout the population. There is certainly greater leeway for the percentages among African Americans represented by unions than others.
