As of Wednesday, Hillary will still be fighting, have suspended her campaign, have suspended her campaign and endorsed Obama?

3. Roll a die
it'll be as accurate as any projection.

Hell, I don't even think Hillary knows what she's going to do. It's become painfully obvious there was no plan for losing and now that it's here, they have no clue how to handle it.

4. I voted 'suspended and endorsed', but I really have no
freaking idea. It's kind of a 'magic thinking' thing, I'm afraid.

5. I am concerned about her comments about SDs changing their mind over the summer.
Runs smack up against all the good intentions she allegedly has.

7. there's no telling...
I'm sure she is still hoping for the "catastrophic event". The skies will open, the light will come down, a lightening bolt will strike Senator Obama, and the celestial choirs will be singing Hillary's name.

8. Where do they count the final tally?
At the convention. So there is the time between now and the convention to get the super delegates to change their minds. That is what Hillary will be doing for the next two and a half months. Sorry folks, it ain't over til the convention. No one is dropping out. No candidate will be endorsing the other. This is where the back room deals are worked out. Hillary's debt. Barack's running mate. We want know anything til the convention.

9. Suspended/conceded/whatever, yes
Endorsed Obama? I don't think that's possible after the shit she has said about him (i.e. claiming McCain would be better)

10. Ben Smith at Politico.com right says now she is staying in
I voted I don't know and I think they don't either.


Here is the article.

Clinton aides rallying donors, floating convention fight: "August, and no earlier"

A Clinton donor tells me that on a conference call today with major fundraisers this afternoon, Harold Ickes told them Clinton isn't planning to drop out. He pressed donors to stay unified, and reviewed tactical options, including challenging the Michigan delegation.

State finance committees are also circulating letters to deliver to Clinton tomorrow in New York, and I've obtained a draft of the Illinois finance committee's letter, being circulated by a Clinton fundraising aide, Rafi Jafri, which stresses a fight until the convention, and a resolution in "August, and no earlier."

We, the Illinois Finance Committee, want to show our full commitment to and support for Senator Hillary Clinton, in the fight for her rightful appointment as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee at the convention this August.

We believe she is, by far, the best candidate of the three, and the candidate most able to turn the ailing economy around, solve the housing crisis, end the war in Iraq and defeat the terrorists in Afghanistan, bring universal healthcare to our citizens, and finally make our country energy independent.

We also know she is the Democratic candidate best able to beat John McCain in the fall. One thing we are certain of is that the Republicans are good at winning elections. We, as Democrats, allowed them to win the last two contests, and we cannot afford to let that happen again.

Senator Clinton is ahead in the popular vote, and neither candidate can secure the nomination with pledged delegates alone. The automatic delegates can change their mind up until their vote at the convention, and that is why this nominating process must be resolved in August, and no earlier.

11. Right now, I think the rhetoric from Ickes et al is to gather donations for the debt
I voted "no clue" as I think it will largely depend on how much in the hole the campaign is.

As long as she backs off the attacks on our candidate, I don't care what she does.

12. I have no clue either when, its not if anymore, its when.
I think she will suspend the campaign and then in her speech
leave options open till the convention. She may say at the same
time she will support Obama if he is the nominee.

I think it will play out by the 15th of June at the latest
but she would still like to milk supporters for her debt.

Who knows????

13. Still fighting....
I'm afraid, she's going to take us all down in a ball of flames. If she were going to suspend or concede, I would think her message would be more unifying in order to prep her supporters for the move towards Obama.
