It's everywhere. The Hillary Get Out drumbeat. Slate just launched a feature [1] they're calling the "Hillary Death Watch" handicapping Hillary's changing chances as the graphic shows her perching atop a sinking ship. 10.3 percent ain't so good.

Meanwhile, my Sunday morning boyfriend, Tim Russert on Meet the Press had my op-ed boyfriend David Brooks [2] on to talk about the calls for a Hillary ouster. Brooks, who said last week that Clinton "possesses the audacity of hopelessness," had a conversation bolstered in part by Sen. Patrick Leahy's comments [3] on Friday urging her to quit and saying her attacks were hurting the party more than anything McCain had said.

But the person a Clinton plank-walk might affect most, Obama, doesn't agree [4]! He's just said,

“My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants. Her name is on the ballot. She is a fierce and formidable opponent, and she obviously believes she would make the best nominee and the best president.”

Here's the burr under the saddle about the quit-brigade: this is exactly what the Democratic Party set up. The proportional delegate takes from each state, the superdelegates, it's all set up to extend the fight and give everyone a crack at choosing. Bill's even said,

“We just need to relax and let this happen. Nobody’s talking about wrecking the party. Everywhere I go, all these working people say: ‘Don’t you dare let her drop out."

I'm still seeing Hillary signs up, she's leading Obama [5] in Pennsylvania by 10 points. What's contributing to the Hillary bloodlust? Should she quit?
