It ends Saturday

From the NY Times:

"We pledged to support her to the end,” Representative Charles B. Rangel, a New York Democrat who has been a patron of Mrs. Clinton since she first ran for the Senate, said in an interview “Our problem is not being able to determine when the hell the end is.”
Here's a clue: The end is when your opponent wins. That's the end. How hard is that to figure out? Many, many people have had to do this before Hillary Clinton, and pretty much all of them managed to do it gracefully.

This decision - how to end her campaign - is arguably the most important decision of her political career. And she's not handling it well. This is the woman who is supposed to be "ready on Day One?" She can't handle defeat? What is she waiting for? A few more dollars to trickle in through her Web site? Why do the rest of us have to wait for her? What's the difference between bowing out now and waiting until Saturday? Is she that desperate for just a couple more days of attention?
