So we find ourselves with another "make or break" day on the campaign trail. The conventional wisdom on the radio and television is that if Hillary is able win one of two primaries today, she should stay in the race.
Keith, with the assistance of Chuck Todd's goatee does a better job explaining why this simply is not the case, far better than Terry can:
There is a scene in "Gettysburg" where Robert E. Lee (played by president Bartlett, Martin Sheen) is talking to James Longstreet (played by Tom Berenger, of "Sniper" fame) about the futility of the Civil War, and how it just keeps going:
"But this war goes on and on and the men die and the price gets even higher. We are prepared to lose some of us, but we are never prepared to lose all of us. We are adrift here in a sea of blood and I want it to end. I want this to be the final battle."
I seriously think of that quote every time I think about this campaign.
