If she does manage to win the nomination, she will be <A href="http://www.danzfamily.com/archives/blogphotos/07/hillary-clinton-faces-horizontal.php">pilloried</A> by the right (the very same Rush that <A href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-nelson/rush-limbaugh-delivers-ma_b_89781.html">endorsed</A> her in Texas).

But (and it's a big but), if you're required to become someone you're not, or required to mutate your brand into one that's ultimately a failure in order to do so, you're way better off quitting instead.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2B1625F0-2282-4E3F-994C-8A9DDA0C236B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
