West Virginia changes nothing for Clinton

Hillary Clinton won the West Virginia primary today by a margin of 67% to 26% with approxi- mately 97% of the vote reported. But fundamentally it changes nothing. During the next week there should be a continuing movement of Super Delegates to Obama. There are probably a number of pundit explanations as to why Clinton is continuing this farce of the primaries. But it seems to me it's primarily (pun intended) pique.

How many times have you seen a parent and child on the street, the parent wants the child to come along, and the child stands there, crying and stamping its feet? That's how I picture Hillary Clinton staying in the race. She expected an inevitable coronation from the Democratic Party and through a number of miscalculations on her campaign's part it ain't gonna happen. Now she's pissed and stamping her feet and refusing to budge.

Does that maniacal laugh that erupts from her whenever she's asked a question mean she's really lost it?
