New York Times columnist David Brooks looks at Hillary Clinton’s ongoing campaign despite her slim (5% by some accounts) chance of winning the Democratic nomination for president, and comes away with some observations and questions:

When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.

Why does she go on like this? Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support? Is she simply selfish, and willing to put her party through agony for the sake of her slender chance?

In other words, give it up, Hillary. Everyone can see that you’re putting personal ambition ahead of the party’s, let alone the country’s, best interests. You’re not wanted as the Democratic nominee. Go away.
