Yes because it's premature to call for that.
Contrary to MSM reporting, it is NOT mathematically impossible (among the states yet to vote) for her to end up ahead of Obama both in the delegate count and the popular vote (and that excludes Florida and Michigan).
While it is possible, it's not likely that will happen unless there is a major implosion in the Obama campaign in the forthcoming weeks. As of my last calculation, Clinton had to win 56% of the vote for the remaining states, and that seems unlikely.
However, as long as it is not mathematically impossible for her to win, it behooves me why the Obama camp would risk loosing the support of Clinton supporters by calling for her ouster now.
The difference in popular vote is very small relative to the total votes cast so far, so forcing her out now puts at risk approximately 1/2 of the democratics who will be angered at their candidate being forced to quit before the face was finished.
I do believe that what appears to be a loud cry for Clinton to bow out is being blown out of proportion because it is the MEDIA and the republicans who wish her to bow out now, in order that can get a start at tearing down Obama (something they cannot seriously start as long as Clinton remains in the race).
