From NBC's Mark Murray
It's official: The Clinton campaign has announced that Hillary will hold her Election Night celebration tomorrow night in New York City, at the Baruch College Athletic & Recreation Center.

*** UPDATE *** Just to clarify, this is the event Clinton will hold the night of the Montana and South Dakota primaries. Her campaign is billing it a "celebration."

Man, I'm as anti-Hillary as the next person, but maybe we should cut her some slack. She's said all along she would continue through all the primaries, and so a celebration for a long campaign is in order.

Besides, while the popular vote thing is a lie, she did get a lot of votes and won a lot of contests.

The fact that she's doing this in New York is intriguing. It sounds like concession speech time, and she's chosen her home constituents to do this.

If for some reason she chooses to continue calling herself a candidate after both the last contests and the point at which Obama reaches the new magic number, then we can go back to noting how bizarre, pathetic and damaging to the party her behavior has become.

I don't see her getting out of the race on Tuesday night, although it would be nice. I think she will get out on Wednesday....

Obviously the word celebration is a bit confusing to many. I trust it is to celebrate the end of the primaries. I am assuming it is her opportunity to congratulate Barack on his winning Montana and South Dakota, and the Democratic Nomination. Doing so will put her in good standing as she returns to the Senate. Anything other than these assumptions are pure craziness.
