Clinton's dilemma

Justin Webb | 20:37 UK time, Saturday, 31 May 2008

The key point on Florida and Michigan as made is not really the outcome - exciting as Wolf Blitzer et al seem to think it is.

The vital issue is the reaction of the Clinton camp to whatever the decision is. Do they accept it and thus achieve yet another victory that is not quite enough of a victory for victory (if you see what I mean) or do they fight?

Some seem to think the prospects of a fight beyond next week are realistic. But Hillary Clinton is no Jerry Brown, no Jesse Jackson. She would not be fighting on for honour and for dignity - she would be fighting to win, and with a powerful if flawed case.

That would be unique in modern times and uniquely damaging to the party.
