"I'm Never Giving Up And I'm Never Giving In"

For Hillary Clinton, there is once again no reason to quit this race before it really and truly is over, as she celebrated a large win for the second straight week last night in Kentucky.

Last week in West Virginia, Barack Obama was held to under 30% of the vote. This time in Kentucky he was barely able to get to 30%.

She won some counties with over 90% of the vote. Along the Tennessee line, rural Clinton County gave her 92%. Those are numbers you get when you are running unopposed.

For the Clintons, why do you quit now? You just slaughtered the presumed Democratic nominee in two states over the past 7 days. What's not to like?

In her victory party in Louisville - ironically located in one of two Kentucky counties that gave Obama a majority - Clinton labeled it an "important victory" and made clear she is going to stay around like a thorn that's stuck under your fingernail.

"I'm never giving up and I'm never giving in," she said to huge cheers.

Clinton gave us a preview of what she'll probably say repeatedly Wednesday in Florida, as she once more demanded that the results of primary voting in Michigan and Florida be made part of the Democratic nomination equation.

"I am more determined than ever to see that every vote is cast and that every vote is counted," said the New York Senator.

But let's face facts right now. Despite two big wins in two weeks, a win in Indiana and a strong win in Pennsylvania, the superdelegates aren't going Hillary's way.

In the last two weeks, the count is 50-9 for Obama. Not exactly the math that provides a Clinton victory.

If you are Clinton supporter, you have more ammunition as to why she is the stronger of the two candidates.

Barack Obama won two counties in Kentucky, none in West Virginia, five in Ohio, six in Pennsylvania, etc. He basically wrote off Kentucky and West Virginia along the way.

Really, it's too little, too late.

But don't tell Hillary that. She doesn't want to hear that right now.

It's too bad that Florida and Michigan didn't decide to have a replay primary in early June. What a shootout that would have been.
