For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Carter and Gore to support Obama and get Hillary out of the race?

DEMOCRAT grandees Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are being lined-up to deliver the coup de grâce to Hillary Clinton and end her campaign to become president.
Falling poll numbers and a string of high-profile blunders have convinced party elders that she must now bow out of the primary race.

Former president Carter and former vice-president Gore have already held high-level discussions about delivering the message that she must stand down for the good of the Democrats.

What are the chances of this happening? Will it matter? Will Bill and Hill actually care what Carter and Gore say? Wouldn't this be the ultimate humiliation for those who would be king and queen? On the other hand, wouldn't it be an exquisitely delicious end to their disgraceful political careers? Finally, if this happens, will Hillary supporters be so angered that they'll either vote for McCain or sit this election out thereby almost assuring his victory while improving GOP chances of great gains at the Congressional level?
