what is Hillary Clinton waiting for?

This race has gotten more bizarre by the day. Generally speaking, Hillary Clinton only has two possible paths to the nomination:

1) Get Michigan and Florida seated with the completely ridiculous and unfair assumption that she should be allowed to take delegates from an illegal vote, where candidates had agreed to not campaign, and Obama wasn't even on the ballot. Every time she argues for this option, it blows my mind. She might as well say "I'd really like to be allowed to cheat, if that's okay with you guys." The result of this would be the division the party and alienation of many Democratic voters.

2) Get to the convention and convince superdelegates that she's the better candidate, despite losing the popular vote and the delegate count. She's already started saying that she has the support of "white Americans", which is a surreally racist tact for someone who talks about how hard it is to be a woman running for president. Yeah, it's hard to be a woman, but it's cool to say that white people don't want to vote for a black guy. Nice. The result of this would of course be the division of the party and alienation of many Democratic voters.

So seriously, what the fuck is she doing? You hear these news reports of people saying that she's fought such a hard battle that she deserves to run it to the end, despite the impossible odds. Why? Because she's a woman, she should stay in because we PITY her? When every day, her campaign divides the party, and lets McCain sit back fat and happy and watch the disaster unfold? What kind of argument is that?

The only realistic tactical reason I can see for her campaign continuing right now is that she thinks that she can force her way into the VP position by being just popular enough that Obama feels he has to take her in.

I really hope that doesn't happen, they're completely different candidates, and she stands for all the stupid bull-headed politics as usual nonsense that he's supposed to oppose. Her position on that absurd and short sighted gas tax cut perfectly showed this to be the case, that she would pander for votes against the advice of every economist and rational human who understands supply and demand curves. You might as well put a band-aid on a slit throat.

Drop the fuck out already, and let us get on with the process of trying to dethrone the politics of fear that have crippled this country for almost 8 years.
