What really is her point anyway? She can't win the nomination. That is clear from the math. Yet she stays in anyway. Does she just hate the black guy? It seems like it. I guess she just can't believe that someone in America might be more acceptable to the American people than her for the Democratic nomination.
Her monumental ego just cannot process that factoid! Sad but true!, We are observing a woman driven by a power addiction. Her husband was driven by sex and power. She as a celibate for all practical purposes and certainly not for the love of God is driven by power alone. That is the key to understand Hillary!

Obama needs 2,025 delegates to capture the nomination—a figure that, despite his edge, he will also struggle to reach. But the Clinton forces are seeking to persuade voters and superdelegates that Obama needs to clear an even higher bar. Clinton's camp suggests that 2,210 is the new magic number. That higher figure, she explains, takes into account the votes cast in Florida and Michigan, the two states stripped of delegates by Democratic Party leaders after voting officials in each state moved their primaries up on the calendar in defiance of the national committee's wishes. Clinton won handily in both states—no doubt benefiting from the fact that Obama did not campaign in either place and did not even have his name on the ballot in Michigan.
Clinton's campaign is now leading a challenge to count Florida and Michigan's votes and seat the state's delegates at the Democratic Convention in August. But during a conference call with reporters on Wednesday her advisers admitted that even if they manage to persuade the party to seat both states' delegations, Clinton will still be well behind Obama. "If Michigan and Florida are seated fully, we estimate that we would pick up a net of 58 delegates," spokesman Phil Singer told reporters. "And that would, according to our estimates, bring us within a margin of … fewer than 100 pledged delegates separating—or total delegates, rather, separating Senator Obama and Senator Clinton."
As the battle for delegates continues, the burning question is whether Clinton will have enough money to go on. She loaned her campaign another $6.4 million—bringing her total loans to the effort to more than $11 million—and is running on fumes. On Wednesday morning's conference call communications director Howard Wolfson ducked a question about how much money the campaign has raised since Tuesday night's contests, saying, "I have not yet had an opportunity to check with our Internet team this morning." (Within 15 minutes of Clinton's Pennsylvania victory, by contrast, various advisers were peppering journalists with impressive fund-raising totals.) At a fund-raiser in Washington, D.C., late Wednesday, Clinton told the crowd she'll be making a stand in Kentucky, Oregon and other future primary states and thanked them for helping to keep the campaign going. (Attendees donated $1 million to Clinton's campaign.) "We are being outspent two to one, three to one, even five to one," she said. "But we have been able to battle back."
With a new check in hand, Hillary says she's not quitting. Just two weeks ago, when she spoke about going the distance, she adamantly proclaimed that she would keep her campaign alive until the convention in August and, if need be, let the delegates decide. And on Tuesday night she defiantly told the audience at her Indiana victory speech—given before the outcome was known—that she was going on to the White House. But Wednesday she changed her rhetoric slightly. "I'll go until there's a nominee," she said.
