Clinton to CONCEDE on FRIDAY according to her call w/supporters
Sen. Hillary Clinton said this afternoon on a conference call with supporters that she will appear alongside her supporters on Friday and drop out of the presidential race, Democratic sources tell ABC News' Kate Snow.

But some of her most loyal backers have begun to publicly urge her to exit the race and unify the Democratic Party behind Obama.

"Unless she has some good reasons — which I can't think of — I really think we ought to get on with endorsements and dealing with what we have to deal with … so we can move forward," New York Congressman Charlie Rangel told ABC News' Kate Snow.

25. You're listening to too many pundits. Have more faith and patience!
and don't hold your breath...it's fatal. Take a deep breath from your solar plexus and breath slowly... it's good for you! SHE WILL MOST LIKELY CONCEDE TOMORROW. Actually, she already has (listen carefully) just not technically. She's trying to catch her breath too...have PATIENCE and stop listening to Tweety and all his made up hysterics. RELAX! Your wish is about to be fulfilled. Sleep well tonight! It was a hard fought battle and you won!

32. I hope you're still not holding your breath.
Now she won't concede till Saturday. Needs a bigger place to concede to hold all her supporters. Sigh!

18. I agree that it's too late for her, but I want a god-damned concession speech.
I want to hear her say that he WON and that all her minions should go support him. I want to hear her say that he will be the next President of the United States.

And then... I want her to stop BULLYING HIM to give her the VP slot. It is not her call. It's 100% his.

(Insert Karma here.)

Then I want her to quietly slither back to New York gather her things and retire to a poor coal mining community in West Virginia to spend out her days as Queen of Appalachia with run-around Bill always by her side.

13. She can still take donations as long as she stays in the race
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 06:33 PM by rocknation
or maybe she knows that a Kennedy being on the VP team means that it's really over, and this is her way of scorching the earth on her way out.

5. You should know by now the US MSM makes this stuff
up as we go along! They haven't got a clue as to what's really going on and there is no such thing as a credible source!

20. I don't care about climactic or anti-climactic. It will simply be a sigh of relief.
It really has been like a horror movie. You think you have it beat, but it keeps coming back from the dead.

24. But but but...
Big Pink says otherwise:

When Will Obama Concede?



Obama is unelectable and not qualified to be president.

On the night Obama lost South Dakota (Obama’s own projections had him winning South Dakota by 15 percent) he spoke in the same hall in which Mondale conceded to the Reagan landslide.

Obama will either concede now or in November.

Obama won’t win Democrats he needs to win (like the Democrats on this very website). In state after state many Democrats clearly state they will either NOT vote, vote for the unacceptable John McCain, or write in Hillary’s name. That Democrats, many who have never voted for a Republican or nightmared about voting for a Republican, to say they will vote for a Republican is shocking and foreshadows doom for the Democratic? Party in November - if Superdelegates actually vote for Rezko/Ayres/Pfleger/Wright/Farrakhan’s friend - Obama.

Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama on any ticket. Last night, at the Hillary rally, the shouts were Denver, Denver - not tears nor surrender.

No tears nor surrender came from the voters of South Dakota either. No matter how much Big Media insisted Obama was the nominee the people voted for Hillary. Big Media cannot force feed Obama to “bitter” small town America.
