Talking about Hillary is a waste of time. However, I have heard a veru interesting theory about Hillary from her former long time and very politically astute advisor Dick Morris.
His theory is that Hillary knows she won't be the nominee. She isn't stupid. Once she drops out, though, she cant' try to do anything to harm Obama. Her goal is to do as much harm to Obama as possible prior to dropping out so that McCain wins the general and she can run again in 2012. In 2016 she will be 70, and while this may be sexist to say, there is very little chance a 70 year old woman gets elected.
Once she drops out, she will not do anything to help his campaign, and in fact, will be working behind the scenes against him indirectly, having political operatives do the dirty work.
No one knows Hillary better than Morris. An interesting theory indeed and somehting I would figure she would do. Neither Clinton lifted a finger to help John Kerrey in 2004 because they wanted him to lose so she could run in 2008.
Just a theory, but not a bad one.
