why clinton is still in the race

quick thoughts and cynicism:

1. obama already said he's not going to run again if he does not win this year.
2. the only chance that clinton has in winning the nomination is by having the superdelegates overturn the delegates, popular vote, and # of states
3. the superdelegates giving it to clinton would severely damage the democratic party
4. the superdelegates are mostly active politicians within the democratic party and need a healthy party to be re-elected
5. the superdelegates won't overturn obama's nomination regardless of 3&4
6. clinton has no chance at winning the presidential election in 2008
7. clinton is a power-hungry second wave feminist who needs power in order to feel accepted
8. the president of the u.s.a. is the real ultimate power (besides ninjas of course)
9. clinton needs to become president of the usa to fulfill her needs (and then president of earth if possible)
10. clinton's only chance will be in 2012
11. clinton can only win in 2012 if a republican wins in 2008
12. if mccain wins in 2008, clinton can argue that she should have been the nominee
13. a mccain presidency will continue bush's policies
14. bush's policies have led our country in the wrong direction and given bush one of the lowest presidetial approval ratings in decades
15. after 4 years america will want to replace mccain
16. clinton will need mccain to win in 2008 in order for her to become president in 2012
17. clinton wants mccain to win in 2008
18. clinton knows that her staying in the current primaries is hurting obama's chances and helping mccain's
19. clinton is staying in the current primaries to hurt obama, get mccain elected, and give her the only real chance of being president

my blogging grandma

my grandma just started blogging (at the age of 77) with the goal of posting brief snippets from past journal entries. for her inaugural post she's sharing something from my childhood about a pet lizard we caught while visiting her one summer. you can read it here.

my 77 (or maybe 78) year old grandma is blogging. how cool is that?
