Note to Hillary Clinton: It’s Over

Hillary, it is over. You can’t overtake Barack Obama in pledged delegates, and you can’t catch him in the popular vote either. You can no longer make a claim to the super delegates that you are the candidate to beat John McCain in November. Even if you succeed in seating the Michigan and Florida delegates, thereby be rewarded for breaking your promise not to campaign in these states that broke you party’s rules you can’t catch up. Barack Obama followed the rules and kept his promise not to campaign in either state, yet you said one thing and did the opposite and now you want a reward for it?

Hillary, you never had a realistic chance at catching Barack, just the hopes of a backroom deal to steal the nomination away from him. You can no longer even steal it from him. You had a 20% lead in the polls in Indiana and only won by 2%, thereby ending any realistic chance at gathering enough super deleagtes to steal the nomination.

As I write this I am thinking of that scene in Pulp Fiction where Marcellus Wallace is bribing Butch to throw the fight. I think it sums up your chaces Hillary, and your situation. Here is the quote:

The thing is, Butch, right now you got ability. But painful as it may be, ability don’t last. And your days are just about over. Now that’s a hard motherfuckin’ fact of life, but that’s a fact of life your ass is gonna have to get realistic about. See, this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don’t. Besides, Butch, how many fights do you think you got in you anyhow? Two? Boxers don’t have an Old Timers Place. You came close but you never made it. And if you were gonna make it, you would have made it before now.

So Hillary you gave it a hell of a try, you came close but you never made it just like Marcellus said. It is time to step aside, it is time to give Obama his due, it is time to end your campagn.

Hillary Clinton, it is over.
