I'm more than disenchanted with them both, too, but I hardly see her as being responsible if McCain wins. How does her running for the nomination affect Obama's chances in the national election? I think that is posturing by the Democratic party in the event we don't win. Any Clinton supporters that vote for McCain out of bitterness are going to vote against Obama regardless of whether Hillary continues.
And from what I've heard, the race is still on. I don't see Obama's victory as inevitable at this point. Plus, there are still primaries to be won or lost and the issues of Michigan's and eh, Florida's delegates have yet to be resolved. Both states in which Clinton won.
Like I said, I don't like Hillary (or Bill) Clinton. I think they are hypocrites. I feel betrayed by them both for pre- 2008 campaign reasons, but I don't use those feelings to adjudge whether she should continue her campaign or not. I don't think it will make any difference the long run.
