Rich Lowry has an excellent column on the continuing fight by the Dem Elite and media to get Hillary to quit the race.

The Superfluous Woman

Hillary Clinton ceased to be the Democratic front-runner weeks ago, humiliatingly enough for her formerly inevitable campaign. But it was only after her drubbing in the Wisconsin primary that she became an inconvenience, the superfluous woman of Democratic politics.

Among elected Democrats and the press, there is a palpable impatience with Hillary’s continued presence in the race: Won’t this lady ever leave so we can consummate our love affair with Barack Obama?…

Hillary weakly complained about getting asked questions first and the deference showed Obama. Whining never becomes a presidential candidate, even if she’s right. She senses what’s obvious — that many journalists have discovered their latent Clinton hatred because they’ve finally realized the presumption and sense of entitlement of the Clintons, or have found their low-ball tactics repellant, or simply don’t like her when they have an alternative candidate who’s so bright, shiny, and new…

Veteran Newsweek writer Jonathan Alter captured the spirit in a column calling on her to drop out before Texas and Ohio. She could “go down classy, with a real chance of redemption.” Nothing would so suit her, in other words, like being out of the way.

He’s cool; she’s clunky. He’s a natural; she’s workmanlike. He’s the hot, fresh thing; she’s been “fighting for change” for 35 very long years. For all that, Hillary is a serious person afflicted, as she put it once, with “a responsibility gene.” Politicians rightly earn our scorn, but their most admirable quality is to keep going when they are contemned and condescended to, when all the great and good turn their backs.

It’s a read the whole thing article, especially with the game as it will continue after tomorrow’s primaries.
