Re Should Hillary continue the fight?

I support Hillary Clinton’s right to stay in the race until she wins (now near-impossible) or when Senator Obama holds enough delegates to be nominated.
At the same time, I am troubled by her continued negative campaigning which only gives the Republican machine ammunition for the general election campaign.
Worse yet, Clinton has never once denounced the right-wing Rush Limbaugh’s attempts to get Republicans to vote for her in the Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana primaries as a delibrate means to subvert a democratic election by creating “chaos” in the Democratic Party.
When asked about Limbaugh’s low-ball tactics by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Hillary’s only comment was a lame: “He’s always had a crush on me.”

Worse of all were her recent comments to CNN on the difficulty Senator Obama has with winning over “whites” (taking the trouble to state his problems with “whites” twice within 30 seconds). This was nothing more than low road pandering to the racists out there.
It should be now clear to anyone that the Clinton game plan is to severely damage Senator Obama to an extent that he will lose the general election to John McCain who will be a 75 year-old incumbent in 2012…opening the way for a second chance for Hillary.
