Someone Want to Explain This To Me?

The blow that would have knocked Hillary clear out of this race missed again last night.
It happened after Iowa, it happened in Texas and Ohio, and it happened in Pennsylvania.
A big media blitz, a bunch of Hillary's faux-populist down-to-earth BS, a slanty debate, and she's got new life.
I, for the life of me, cannot watch Hillary Clinton, and then watch Barack Obama, and not just see which option is the clear choice. I will confess right here, right now, that I do not understand the Clintonistas.
I do not understand the desire to kneecap the most dynamic, intelligent and inspiring Presidential candidate in 40 years.
I do not understand how it is acceptable to praise a Republican and smear a fellow Democrat in a Presidential year, when one of the three of you is going to be elected.
I do not understand how people can turn away from the millions of new voters, or the money machine Barack Obama has proven to be.
I do not understand how Hillary gains 200,000 in the popular vote after participating in the character assassination that occurred on ABC last week.
I do not understand how it is an acceptable strategy to work towards a coup which overturns popular votes and elections based on the view of a few hundred party elites.
I do not understand why illogical tripe like how Hillary winning the 'Big States' means more than Obama making in-roads and building organizations in states Democrats haven't had a chance at in years. Most of those states are solidly blue, and will not vote for McCain if the sky started to fall.
I do not understand why this election is still going, why there isn't both barrels on McCain and his idiocy, and why the Democrats are leaving blood, sweat, tears and dollars on the deck when those could be going against the Republicans right now, and in the fall.
But, I guess at the end of the day, there are a lot of things I don't understand, like Calculus or Physics, but to me, this looks like simple math.
She can't win the popular vote, she can't win on delegates, and she can't win on states. Every day with Hillary still running is another day and another dollar lost and wasted.
Do the math Superdelegates, and come out in the next week and show that there isn't going to be two more months of this crap.
If not, I do not understand how you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you give a damn about the party, or defeating McCain and the Republicans in the fall.
