Among the Unbelievers
Shared agnosticism in the age of Obama. Hillary on her last legs. Tax holidays. A sixties liberal who's just a kid. Plus more.

Mr. Klein makes many good arguments for why Hillary is dead in the water. Even Slate, home of such stalwart Lefties as Christopher Hitchens and Michael Kinsley, has Madame Clinton’s chances at a historic low of 2.5%. Her campaign is hemorrhaging cash and not too many donors look to be stepping up to offer comfort or lucre. Old time FOB/FOH are jumping ship like rats off the Lusitania. Yes, things look dire for the Billary campaign, but Hillary no more knows the word quit than the Boy President knows the meaning of “is.”
p>Madam Senator is fully cognizant that her soldiering on hurts the Democratic Party, despite what Terry McAuliffe and her other talking heads may say. (Again, see it depends what is is.) A conspiracy theory fills the air: Hillary is looking to weaken Obama so she can run against the GOP candidate in 2012. Conspiracies are often foolish words carried on idiot winds, but with the Clintons, can anyone be too cynical? Ms. Clinton has figured out the price and value of continuing on. If our junior Senator of New York figures she can damage Obama without paying too high a price, she will stay in this race. No matter what the odd, always bet that Hillary will do what is on her favor. After all, she is Mrs. Comeback Kid. br> — Ira M. Kessel br> Rochester, New York /p>
