Let me be VERY clear in saying that I would never, in any way, shape, or form support Hillary. In fact, it angers me that I even have to come to her defense, but...

Her decision to stay the course and fight to the end did a few things (amazingly good too).

1) It continued to expose Obama's (and her own) weaknesses for a longer period of time.
2) It continued to disenfranchise staunch Obama voters and staunch Hillary voters to the point that they are willing to cross party lines to spite the other.
3) It opened many more eyes to a more viable candidate (Dr. Paul)

This one is the most important thing I think --
4) It did not undermine the whole electoral process. This is something that plagued the GOP (and Dr. Paul) because as soon as the "presumptive nominee" label was branded to McAmnesty, the collective GOP mind shut down and the lemming vote took over. I was please to see Dr. Paul take as many votes as he did later in the primary, but I do wonder if he would have had such a strong showing had one of the other MSMs had stuck it out. To this day, I am convinced that Mitt Romney's timing for bowing out was exclusively an effort to prohibit Dr. Paul from being able to push a brokered convention.

Had she backed out when the party was calling for it, it would have negated a few million votes from the voters in 20 states.

Now, interestingly, it does bring another interesting point to light... What happens now? Does she run Indy? Is she hard-headed enough to try to fulfil some egomaniacal destiny to become president by running Indy and pulling votes from Oabama? ith her on the Dem side, and Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin syphoning votes from the GOP side, where does that leave Dr. Paul? (Just a side thought)

hopefully some miraculous event will occur and everyone will know the evil trilogy
mcainobamaclinton almost wiped out America as we know it, ahhh wishful thinking...

I just wish she would take the other two with her.
