Hehe, I don't think God has anyything to do wityh all these. Why should God care? Of course, I am speaking of Spinoza's God, who happens to be Einstein's God and Thomas Jefferson's God.
At the minimum, we should look at this thing beyond personal level. After all, anybody who has risen to this level must be fighting a cause larger than him/herself. That doesn't mean personality is insignificant. Take HRC as an example, you may well argue that she is ambitious, and she doesn't have the slightest defeatist trace in her bone, all of which may have very well contributed to her decision of staying in the race. But what about her supporters? What about the ideas she represents? To demean her appeal and/or to discount her support in pejorative terms is naive, to say the very least.
All politicians are calculating. That's part of their job requirements.
. A not-so-distant exapmple is Mike Huckerbee. Huckerbee was far behind John McCain (200 vs 600 something). But he vowed to stay in the race until he was "mathematicallly eliminated". Now HRC is only 100 delegates behind BHO, and 300 superdelegates have yet to vote, and she just came fresh out a major victroy in PA, and most of all, and poll suggests she has better chance to beat McCain inn the general election, why on eatrth should she quit ? If she quitted at this moment, why should she be in in the first place???

Hillary Rodham Clinton has a better chance than Barack Obama of beating Republican John McCain, according to a new Associated Press-Ipsos poll that bolsters her argument that she is more electable in the fall than her rival for the Democratic nomination.
The survey released Monday gives Clinton a fresh talking point as she works to convince pivotal undecided superdelegates to side with her in the drawn-out Democratic primary fight.
Clinton, who won the Pennsylvania primary last week, has gained ground this month in a hypothetical head-to-head match up with the GOP nominee-in-waiting;
she now leads McCain, 50 percent to 41 percent, while Obama remains virtually tied with McCain, 46 percent to 44 percent.

Hahaha... May I say that it seems to me that God has already cursed America for 8 years? If we cannot elect the right man for President this year (--yes, not a woman, for this time), God may curse ..
