Hillary Clinton is marching on relentlessly, despite clear indications that she's not going anywhere. She and Bill Clinton have for some time been looking like a two man comedy act, except nobody is laughing. She's even inspired a clergyman to make jokes about her. The Rev. Michael Pfleger, as a guest speaker in Obama's church, made cruel fun of Hillary. At one point he did a little act, pretending to be Hillary crying over "a black man stealing my show".
Her desperate move to demand that every Michigan and Florida delegate to have a full vote was literally chopped by the Democratic Rules and Bylaws Committee, by allowing only a half vote for each. Those primaries were won by Hillary, but the results were invalidated because they were held earlier than allowed. The Committee's decision is really a fatal blow for Hillary.
For the time being, Hillary Clinton is spending the weekend in sunny Puerto Rico. She is trying to appear upbeat. Maybe she is. She is actually quite popular there - even Ricky Martin is a supporter - and is expected to win the primary. However, this will have little effect in the larger scheme of things.
