I think Hillary should stay in until Kentucky and West Virginia are decided. I have seen many people on this site who agree with this. Also, many people agree that she should stay away from making negative comments about Barack. I think she should definitely shy away from negativity. The thing is this, when she steps away from negativity, where should she land? She could take a positive approach to Barack, which I think most of us and the party would appreciate, or she could take a neutral approach, which is certainly acceptable while not being the best solution.

I am of the opinion that she should takethe positive appraoch. She should go over the exit polls and other data, and while making a case for herself she should also slip in a few kinds things about Barack. For example, if he has shown any marked improvement with working class whites, she should say it. She doesn't have to pat him on the back, but she could also say something like "although Barack has made a little headway with blue collar whites, it is overwhelmingly in my favor." If Barack has not made significant strides with working class whites, she could find some other information upon which she could base a few positive statements.

Is she going to do this? Probably not. She clearly does not have to and may not need to. Neutral is fine and is probably what we will get (if not some slights and negativity), however, I think it would go a long way to helping heal the wounds that exist and would help rehab her image.
