I think Hillary is trying to win this thing still at any and all costs. Journalists have mentioned before the Clintons believe in using any possibly tactics, whether ethical or not, to accomplish their goals. Then, they apologize.

Do you have any examples of that?

Examples of tactics include:

- Agreeing to the Democratic rules, which mean the MI and FL delegates won't count.
Now, she wants to count them because she's losing, even though Obama's name wasn't on the ballot in one of the states.
This is a blatant political tactic.  People are taught then they're young that you should play by the rules.
Some, possibly including Obama (but not sure) have suggesting dividing the MI and FL delegates even-Steven.  I think this is the only fair way to go right now.

- The Bosnia/sniper attack story.  She or Bill mentioned she said that one night late when she was tired.
She actually said that on multiple occasions, and it was obviously not true.
She either has bad recollection when she's tired (not great for 3am phone calls), or was straight out fibbing, multiple times.

- Saying she has been consistently against NAFTA from the start.
Documents revealed she has actually been pro-NAFTA on multiple occasions.

Those are some that come to mind now.

 

I thought Romney did a very good thing for the Rs when he dropped out after losing I forget which state. He took the very opposite approach she is taking.

But he had no hope of winning.

The writing is on the wall right now.

I think she's pretty much done, but she expect to do very well in Kentucky and in W. Virginia, so she's going to hang in for those two wins and probably duck out after that.  It looks like they aren't making headway with the superdelegates, so that route won't work.

Hillary herself said during her speach in Indiana:

  I can assure you, as I have said on many occasions that no matter what
  happens, I will work for the nominee of the Democratic Party, because
  we must win in November.

Those doesn't sound like the words of someone who expects to be the nominee!
