Plain Dealer to Clinton: Drop Out

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is running an editorial in today's edition which calls for Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race for the Democratic presidental nomination. Ohio's largest newspaper calls the race for the Democratic nomination "all but over and Obama has won." This on the heels of Tuesdays' primaries in Indiana and North Carolina where, again quoting the PD "she nipped Barack Obama in an Indiana primary she expected to win handily and was crushed in North Carolina."

The paper acknowledges Clinton's right to continue campaigning if she wants to, but urges her to scale back her attacks on Obama, because "Proclaiming him unelectable and out of touch with average Americans at this point diminishes both Democratic candidates - and thus helps only the Republicans and John McCain. That can't be a legacy Clinton desires."
