>OTOH one of the criticisms of Gore was that he gave up to easily. Hillary is determined to win, isn't that the sort of candidate you want . Stays in if she thinks she's got the remotest chance.

What more could Gore have done? He contested the announced Florida result until the Supreme Court stopped the recount. He literally had no appeals left.

I like a candidate who wants to win. What I don't like is one who doesn't care how much damage she does by clinging to a vanishing hope. That comment the other day about RFK being assassinated in June, although probably not meant the way some took it (as a wish Obama would be assassinated), showed her mindset. She would take any victory, no matter how grubby or tainted. She has led a life of privilege yet is willing to reinvent herself, mid-campaign, as a gun-toting, beer-gulping blue collar populist if there appear to be votes in it. Tenacity is a good trait in a candidate, but so is class.
