Called it!

"I can't wait for the Clinton camp to see this story and put out a statement: "Contrary to AP reporting the Clinton camp WILL NOT recognize Obama's nomination, ever, so there. Additionally, we in the Clinton camp have decided to take our ball (the Democratic party) and go home.""

This is the thing that serves to whip the Obama supporters into a frenzy. If the Obama people knew that Hillary would be winding down her campaign, the attack on her reputation would greatly lessen (see Mike Huckabee). But her campaign is so erratic that many Obama supporters don't know what to believe out of her, hence the continuing attacks on her character.

Just see the difference in comments for this thread and the previous thread, amazing huh?

I guess we just have to wait and see..thank God I operate on an even keel.. I won't get my hopes up until 10 or 11pm tonight to see how close Obama is to the nomination if the superdelegates get off the fence today.. it would be nice since Obama will be at the location of the republican national convention.. it would send a great message that the democrats intend to battle in EVERY state in the general election... not just the traditional red and blue ones.. Come on Hillary this is your first step toward unifying the party..

Clinton did NOT concede!

Why should she - why would ANY candidate QUIT in a race this close? She, Clinton, is seperated by less than 1% of the popular vote and less than 12% of the undeclared delegates...

I LIKE the fact that she continues to roll up NEW Dems in states that were forgotten LONG ago!

Ridiculous that you believe on the night he will almost definately he will claim the nominee, you again want to make her center stage.

You only give him center stage when it is negative. All positvie about Obama are a quick mention and then back to Hillary.

My family and friends will NEVER vote for Barack Obama. We are black and proud of this country. We are ashamed of Obama's shameless exploitation and race-baiting.

And we are disgusted at his close associations with so many people that hate America and white people.

Coming into the election process, I backed Hillary.

After repeated conflicting messages from her campaign staff, I switched support to Obama.

Had it not been for a bunch of bumbling fools leading Hillary's staff, Hillary would have easily won.

For whatever reason, they could not communicate and agree on information presented to the public. For months, we've heard conflicting messages from the staff. The staff may have been the best in the business, but they never checked their egos at the door.

If Hillary is asked to be VP, she needs to get rid of some of this staff and never ask them back.

The Clintons love the drama. This is how they stay relevant. She just can't make up her mind. I wonder if she will know what to do by 3 a.m.?

And her supporters wonder why most people do not want her to be president... this is a prime example.

I have come to believe that Hillary Clinton won't concede until the last vote has come in, not tonight for sure, probably not until sometime tomorrow at the earliest. Her past decisions have all been indicative of that. I am not a Hillary fan but she can redeem herself somewhat for me if she wholeheartedly campaigns for Obama beginning tomorrow. We shall see if that happens. I don't think she will be his choise for VP but I do think she can control her own destiny within the party depending on how hard she works to get Obama elected and by convincing her supporters that they need to support him in the general in Nov. I am trying to keep my belief in the "better angels of she and her supporters nature". And that those beliefs will prevail in our campaign against John McCain. I am praying, so should the nation.
