Bold prediction?

By the end of next week, Hillary Clinton will have withdrawn from the Presidential race.

I think Barack Obama will win a majority of delegates on Tuesday, and if that happens, I think Hillary will see that she has no path to the nomination

I think she'd want to quit this race on her own terms.

Moreover, at the end of the day, the fighting over the legacy of the Clinton Administration does us no good as a party.

We need to never forget how much better the Clinton years were than the Bush years years and the Reagan years, not just for the country but for the world.

This is an important part of the story we have as a party to explain to the American public why we should be once again entrusted with the White House.

Last night, the Republicans debated at the Reagan Presidential library. They understand the importance of preserving Reagan's legacy.

For all our misgivings about things undone during the Clinton years, we would also be foolish to abandon the legacy of the 1990s: strong economy, more efficient government, and world peace.

It's Bush and the Republicans -- not the Clintons -- who have mismanaged the 2000s.
