I was going to say the same. This is exactly right, he bought most of his SD's (part of his hacking the system to win), and now is offering to buy Clinton off.

In my opinion, this would be political suicide for Clinton. From that point on, anytime she would make the case for something, or try to run again (for senate or for pres.), the issue of being bought off to stop running and thus stop trying to help americans would come up.

She definitely should not accept the bribe. In fact, I'd make this a campaign issue if it could be verified. Just think of the stump speeches: Well, he bought off a number of SD's, seems to have bought off members of the DNC, now he's trying to buy me out of this race. Well, I'm not for sale.

It's not a bribe but an attempt to end the race if thats all she is in it for. If she still believes that she can win the race she has every right to stay and owes it to her supporters to continue.

What's interesting with this is .. inspite of righteous indignation I see in here/kos/mydd about the Media it takes just a silly story by one reporter suggesting what is just one possibility for folks to be up in arms. It still shows how little the media the needs to do to manufacture consent... Pavlovian conditioning

not only should she not accept it, she will not accept it.  The msm is rewriting the entire scenario that Obama "closed the gap" in IN (when it was the other way around) and Hillary "had to win NC" (when she was never expected to) in order to start their "Hillary should drop out" shrieking again. Yet, FL & MI remains unresolved and Obama still doesn't have the 2209 delegates needed to be the nominee.  The fact is, after she turned IN around, they are scared to death she might win OR -- I for one, am going to try to help her do that.  Furthermore, I'm not watching the news at all. I'll rely on the good people here to keep me updated.
