I don't like to spread rumors (okay, I do), but I heard this from a terrible source and I hate to reprint it (okay I love to reprint it). If this is anything close to true I'm going to be a very very happy man very very soon!
Facing a double-digit defeat in New Hampshire, a sudden collapse in national polls and an expected fund-raising drought, Senator Hillary Clinton is preparing for a tough decision: Does she get out of the race? And when?!
"She can't take multiple double-digit losses in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada," laments one top campaign insider. "If she gets too badly embarrassed, it will really harm her. She doesn't want the Clinton brand to be damaged with back-to-back-to-back defeats."
Meanwhile, Democrat hopeful John Edwards has confided to senior staff that he is staying in the race because Hillary "could soon be out."
Key players in Clinton's inner circle are said to be split. James Carville is urging her to fight it out through at least February and Super Tuesday, where she has a shot at thwarting Barack Obama in a big state. But others close to the former first lady now see no possible road to victory, sources claim.

Of course she has to consider when and how she will withdraw if she continues to falter but this Drudge rumor is overblown. There is a point when she will withdraw but she won't be out before Feb. 5 unless her internal polling is sooooo bad that she can't concieve of a path to the nomination. She still has a boatload of cash -- there is no pressing reason for her to withdraw until the 5th.
Hillary might have money troubles!!
