Clinton can't win

The author of this article believes that Hillary Clinton has officially lost the race. He states that she is now only doing harm to her party and the American people by remaining in the race. She is distracting from the real issues at hand, the fact that the American people need to be informed on the differences in the two real candidates for President. The author gives Hillary full credit for her efforts and says that Obama should not just become the Democratic candidate because he was unopposed, but rather that Hillary truly gave her full efforts in the campaign battle. The author also notes that Hillary has two last options, both ending in not very good outcomes. One is that she can appeal that delegate votes in Florida and Michigan be counted, but it is unlikely to get her anywhere because we are now in mid-swing and the rules cannot be changed. The other is to convince super delegates to vote for her and against what their area has voted, but this is unlikely because it can only do harm to the super delegates in neglecting their peoples’ vote. This was a well written, informative editorial that stated facts and left out bias.
