Here is another article from R.W. Apple a day earlier. Even though that election was not nearly as close the arguments for how everything should be decided (and whether the losing candidate should fight on) are remarkably similar.

Here is Jerry Brown explaining why he was fighting on despite the fact that he was completely unlikely to win:

He vowed to fight on, "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow," at least until the California and New Jersey primaries on June 2, despite his dismal performance in New York. Mr. Clinton is "in the lead, all right," the former California Governor said, "but there are enough questions" to make him vulnerable.

Here is Brown on how he can win:

Asked how he could win, Mr. Brown answered, "The scenario would be winning Pennsylvania and Clinton stumbling in some continuing way that would render him unsatisfactory to enough of the delegates. We'll see what happens."

And here is Bill Clinton, sounding positive Obamian on why there were lingering concerns that he would not be able to win the general election:

He explained voters' negative feelings as the product of a "a highly combative and contentious and intensely covered atmosphere." Asked whether he could get a majority of voters to love him, he answered, "I'm not interested in whether they love me or not. I want them to respect me."

In time, the Arkansan said on television, "the negatives will go away."

Ok, well - what are you supposed to do when there aren't any emoticons?

LOLOLOL!!!

Many thanks!
