Strategy for Hillary's campaign

[kevinatcausa]

My strategy for Sen. Clinton would be:

Your main hope is that some horrific bombshell drops in the next two weeks which would throw Sen. Obama's chances into doubt.   What's already out there isn't enough, and harping on those points won't make it so.  Instead, focus on party unity.  The pressure on you to drop out soon is immense, but you can minimize that pressure by making it seem as if the campaign will not hurt your opponent too much in the general.

Keep campaigning, but at this point focus almost entirely on your own positives and less on your opponent's negatives.  If nothing horrific happens by Oregon, drop out gracefully, and use the capital you'll gain by doing so (and by the more positive last few weeks of your campaign) to mount a campaign in 2012 or 2016.

If the bombshell does happen, the time you spent improving your own image will be much more valuable for the general election than the time you spent wrecking your opponent's.
