“She will not go away. The Clintons will never go away. And they will do all they can to cripple any Democrat who tries to replace them. In the tent or out of it, it is always about them. And they are no longer rivals to Obama; they are threats.”
Andrew Sullivan
See this Zogby poll, where Hillary has now fallen into a statistical tie with Obama. In addition, this jewel of a statistic:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Clinton, when Bill Richardson called you to say he was endorsing Barack Obama, you told him that Senator Obama can’t win. I’m not going to ask you about that conversation. I know you don’t want to talk about it. But a simple yes-or-no question: Do you think Senator Obama can beat John McCain or not?
SENATOR CLINTON: Well, I think we have to beat John McCain, and I have every reason to believe we’re going to have a Democratic president and it’s going to be either Barack or me. And we’re going to make that happen.
And what is important is that we understand exactly the challenges facing us in order to defeat Senator McCain.
But I also know, having now gone through 16 years of being on the receiving end of what the Republican Party dishes out, how important it is that we try to go after every single vote everywhere we possibly can to get to those electoral votes that we’re going to need to have the next president elected.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: But the question is, do you think Senator Obama can do that? Can he win?
SENATOR CLINTON: Yes. Yes. Yes.
Of the outstanding debts owed by Clinton’s campaign to bill collectors, one glorious gem stands out:
Aetna Healthcare: 228,841.30
That’s right. Mrs. Clinton owes Aetna a quarter of a million dollars in HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR HER STAFFERS.

Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?
Reid: Easy.
Q: How is that?
Reid: It will be done.
Q: It just will?
Reid: Yep.
Q: Magically?
Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.
THINGS ARE BEING DONE.
