As I've been arguing, that's why polls continue to show Democrats don't want it to end.
More evidence for this today:
"Let the race go on...On a day Hillary Clinton is poised to pocket another win in West Virginia and continue the race despite nearly insurmountable odds of winning the nomination, a Washington Post/ABC News poll reveals that Democratic leaning voters would prefer Clinton to stay in the race rather than drop out by 64-35 percent margin. Only 1 percent had no opinion...In the USA Today/Gallup poll, given the choice Clinton dropping out, both Clinton and Obama staying in the race, or Obama dropping out, 55 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters said both should continue on — although that number shrank 5 percentage points from a poll released May 4 asking the same question."
A majority doesn't seem to believe the race is hurting the party.
Perhaps this is another example of how, while Washington pundits firmly believe something, and many ordinary Americans have heard those pundits say they believe it, that doesn't mean ordinary folks buy it.
