Very true.

They discussed what Hillary's motivations now are on the Sunday am shows, why she isn't dropping out of the race even though it's clear she cannot win.

She now has her eyes set on 2012. For this reason she is staying in the race, spending her big money in order to tear down Obama and help McCain win. She figures that a McCain win helps her more in 2012, than an Obama win because obviously that wouldn't help her.

Hillary is in this for Hillary, nothing else.

I heard it explained that if Hillary drops out, she cannot receive any more donations. As long as she's in the race, she can collect $$ and she needs it to pay her bills (or she'd have to use her own money to pay them, and as we all know, she doesn't have all that much). So, it's entirely possible she's in it now not to win, but for the money.
