She's a victim.
Mrs. Clinton told aides that she would not be “bullied out” of the race. In a conversation with two Democratic allies, she compared the situation to the “big boys” trying to bully a woman ...
She's being forced out.
To counter the impression that Clinton is prolonging the race, her campaign has begun describing what they say is a pattern of trying to force her to "the sidelines" every time she appears on the verge of victory. In an e-mail to her supporters, Clinton asked: "Have you noticed the pattern?"
"Every time our campaign demonstrates its strength and resilience, people start to suggest we should end our pursuit of the Democratic nomination," she wrote. "Those anxious to force us to the sidelines aren't doing it because they think we're going to lose the upcoming primaries. The fact is, they're reading the same polls we are, and they know we are in a position to win."
She buys the super-size popcorn.
Responding to a comment from Obama that the Democratic primary race was like a good movie that had gone on too long, Clinton replied: "I like long movies."
And look what she's up against.
