Poll question: PLACE YOUR BETS HERE! (Keep this kicked, I want lots of votes)
I'm not asking what you want or hope, I'm asking what you think will actually happen after tomorrow.

Will Hillary Clinton drop out of the race after tomorrow's elections?

I'm pessimistic, so I'm going with no.

8. SHE'S GOIN'

She is on auto pilot.

In fact even after the convention she is going to write her name on every, individual ballot using a crayon.

9. If Hillary had run in 2000 instead of Al Gore, she would still be President today.
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 03:22 PM by IanDB1
In fact, she would have also become Mayor of Miami, Governor of Florida, and Ambassador to The United Nations, and gotten ownership of the pre-frabircated vacation home on the Crawford Pig farm, all as part of her settlement in Clinton v. Bush.

Hell, Hillary would probably have gotten custody of Jenna.

25. LOL! That's the post of the day. Custody of Jenna, indeed.
She would have gotten Dubya's boxer shorts as part of the Clinton v. Bush settlement. And his balls would still be in them, if he had any.

13. I was wrong. Signs seem to say that she's dropping out tomorrow.
I honestly thought it would take until next Monday, but it seems as If she's doing it Tuesday.

14. Yes: She has nothing to gain by fighting to the convention
The odds are not on her side, and she can still save face.

15. The Nuke
She'll go nuclear and challenge everything that can be challenged.

She'll state that pledged delegates can change their minds, that Super Delegates can change their minds.

She's rallying all her supporters to be there to whip into a red-in-the-face frenzy shouting "Denver, Denver, Denver!!!"

This is where she will make her last stand and kickoff her nuclear summer frenzy. For Hillary, her campaign has just begun. Everything up and until now was a huge cheat and a bunch of men making fun of her and keeping her from what is rightfully hers.

This is it!!!!

Shock and Awe was nothing boys!!!!!

Tomorrow night Hillary kicks ass and takes names!!!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 05:41 PM by Douglas Carpenter
I don't know of any expert analysis of this matter tht believes this will go all the way to the convention. The possibility of that, I would put at less than .001%

21. I have to believe she has some minimum level of common sense
she will drop out rather than doing permanent damage to her political future.

The real poll question should be whether your unhealthy Hillary Clinton obsession will end along with her campaign.

29. I don't think she will take it to the convention, however...
I don't think she will drop put tomorrow night. She might need a few more days to come to the point where she decides to quit, but it's coming. It's only a matter of time.

"The Comeback Kid." Now that's change for you.

33. Lots of ...
Conflicting reports this morning.

I don't know ... I think she's going to contest and continue on this whole popular vote rant.

It won't end tonight unless the SDs come out in force and really put Obama over the top tonight.

Even then, she could easily ramble on and on about SDs votes are not cast until the convention, pledged delegates can change their minds, I have the popular vote ... mumble, mumble, mumble, hrumph, hrumph, hrumph.

I wonder if we'll have our answer when Clinton makes her speech tonight.

38. She will suspend her campaign
She won't give up, she won't concede - she wants to be ready to jump back in should something happen between now and the convention.

They will keep the threat of challenging the Rules committee and a convention hell hanging over our heads and Obamas - not loudly, it will just be there.
