DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2008®
TALK OF HILLARY EXIT ENGULFS CAMPAIGNS
Mon Jan 07 2008 09:46:28 ET

Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!

"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider to the DRUDGE REPORT. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."

Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."

"Her money is going to dry up," Edwards confided, a top source said Monday morning.

Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state.

"She did not work this hard to get out after one state! All this talk is nonsense," said one top adviser.

But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

[The dramatic reversal of fortunes has left the media establishment stunned and racing to keep up with fast-moving changes.

In its final poll before Iowa, CNN showed Clinton with a two-point lead over Obama. Editorial decisions were being made based on an understanding the Democratic primary race would be close, explained a network executive.]

Like I said at the start. Nothing will help the Republicans more than to have Hillary represent the Democrats.

I don’t think she’ll drop out. She is a Clinton and a Clinton can wrangle the nomination at the convention even if she does poorly in the primaries. Don’t underestimate the Clinton Machine.

Besides, Americans are impressed by the firm, steely resolve and Presidential manner that she handles the hard questions.

Here's an audio clip from a KONQ newsfeed that we're running today:

She gets teary.

I watched the clip over and over and didn't see any tears. All I heard was her "getting emotional" which I believe is staged because the polls say she needs to be more personal and human.
