...that will come across in CoverGirl commercials, and a model persona. The girls who are the strongest in one area inevitably seem to get kicked off before the finale if they are lacking in others. Lauren, for example, was dismissed after floundering in a commercial—a surprise exit that sent the most photogenic girl (and perhaps the only true potential editorial model) home...
...course, the question seems not whether Clinton will exit the race but when. She continues to load her schedule with campaign stops, even as calls for her to concede grow louder. But the voice she is listening to now is the one inside her head, explains a longtime aide. Clinton's calculation is as much about history as it is about politics.

But neither does she want to go out with a whimper, tallying up her delegate totals on June 3 and meekly accepting the fact that she has come up short. Her exit from the race will require classic Clinton political magic. And although we don't know when or how it will come, it's guaranteed to be a showstopper...
