Tenacity = Hillary

No matter what you may think about Hillary Clinton, you have to take your hat off to her tenacity. The lady is as determined as they come. She is like the Energizer Bunny - she just keeps going and going. We could all learn from her. When all seems lost and we are at the end of our rope, tie a knot in it and hold on.

Most candidates follow the rules of their party and would have graciously extended an olive branch and conceded after their opponent achieved the required number of delegates (based on the rules). Barack Obama has the delegates and the support of the party (per the stated rules).

It reminds me of Winston Churchill who stated, "Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, never... In nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions or honor and good sense!"

Hillary is nothing if not rational and smart. Therefore there must be a good reason that she has not yet conceded. Her conviction is that she will be in the White House, some way and some how. That means that she wants the VP nod.

The definition of tenacious used to be not readily letting go of something or giving up. Of course Websters could change and better define that by just posting a picture of Hillary.
