Thirty One: The Future of Clintons

The obvious question is, how can any U.S. voter, or observer of U.S. politics, ever believe anything published or uttered by the Clintons or their surrogates, especially Wolfson or McCaulif? The obvious answer to the obvious question is itself so obvious, that one more question must be asked. What is the true interest of the Clinton campaign? After all, it defies belief that even those Clintonistas who have "drunk the coolaid" could be live that continuing her campaign will result in her getting the nomination. This "anything can happen" strategy is ridiculous. If she dropped out now (or a week ago), she would be in exactly the same position to be the default candidate if "anything" happened.

So, the potential real interests are: playing for Veep; trying to destroy Obama so as to position Hillary for 2012; trying to suck more money out of contributors before throwing in the towel.

But I return to the original question, of how any moderately reasonable person could ever believe anything said by the Clintons. It's a mystery to me.
