Hillabee Clinton hates your math

Hillary's campaign has reached border-line pathetic. She's running out of money while her fund raising proves to be less and less effective (she amassed $10 million after her Pennsylvania win but just $1 million after Indiana). Her latest idiotic stunt, a letter to Democrats was signed by only 16 out of the 233 Democrats in the House. ABC is now reporting that Obama has more Super Delegates than Clinton, which may or may not be meaningless given that everyone calculates Super Delegates differently.

Now, Clinton is going to win West Virginia and Kentucky, given that these states are full of racists (less a criticism than an observation), and Obama will probably win Oregon so giving him the delegates required to grasp the nomination.

So what, I ask, the fuck is Hillary doing? Aside from making a Huckabee-esque 'math vs miracles' argument she's not really accomplishing anything short of irritating people. Certainly Hillary is not obligated to drop out; if she wants to spend more of her own money in some sort of quazi-orgasmic trek towards self-destruction then more power to her. But I'm trying to figure out who other than herself this course of action behooves.

I can see some advantage in terms of rallying her "genitalia voters", the morons who base their vote on the fact that Hillary has a vagina instead of a penis. She'll continue to receive support from uneducated white voters, a block of voters I find to be laughable. But other than that isn't she merely dragging this out in the hope that Obama gets hit by a bus?

What does that say about Hillary? What does that say about her campaign? Is her refusal to quit a sign of steadfastness and dedication or rather stubborn grasping at imaginary straws? Is she running out of spite for Obama? What does she think she's doing?

I'm trying to play devil's advocate and justify her continued pursuit of the nomination. I'm trying to see whatever it is that keeps her in the race. I'm trying to see her actions as justified, reasonable, and beneficial to Democrats.

But all I can come up with is "Hillabee".
