A Drudge Intrigue: Is Hillary Dropping Out?  —  Just as I finished writing about how Hillary is not done, Drudge shines the flashing light with some interesting verbiage.  Note that it uses the plural “campaigns."  It also cites Carville.  One cannot be re-born until you die.

President Mike Huckabee?  —  MANCHESTER, N.H.  —  Thank you, Senator Obama.  You've defeated Senator Clinton in Iowa.  It looks as if you're about to beat her in New Hampshire.  There will be no Clinton Restoration.  A nation turns its grateful eyes to you.
