She should be conceding TONIGHT. Not tomorrow or after.
  This is not a dinner party which it is fashionable to be late to. This is putting an end to a divisive campaign waged with insults ("Judas"), innuendo ("Barack a Muslim? Not as far as I know"), guilt-by-association smears (William Ayers to Rev. Write going alphabetically and everyone in between) and inflammatory accusations of sexism out of one side of the mouth and racially-divisiveness out of the other.

  After taking her sweet time she has decided that she will, in fact, concede to Barack Obama at all and three days after the rest of the world will have celebrated his success.

  Is the price of nobility so high?

1. We've waited this long -- another day won't matter.

5. I agree...It won't affect us or the race in any presumable way. It's just egregious form.
  Giving one's concession on one's own terms is not something I have seen much of in politics.

9. Friday is yet another bad choice
the fabled "news dump" , which will be noted by cognescenti, AND more importantly the anniversary of RFK's assassination, which she referenced more than once.

Better be Thursday, if she has any smarts left in her after this bruising campaign.

10. Hillary: a brat to the very end
She expects everything to be different for HER. Rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to her.

She's held on too long, and now her delegates are bailing on her.

She doesn't have any choice. If she didn't get out Friday, they'd be on Sunday shows calling her out.

11. Thursday, June 5 and Friday, June 6, are in poor taste
Thursday is 40 years since the day RFK was shot.

Frioday is 40 years since the day RFK died.

Bad taste all the way around.

20. If I am to believe the latest reports, she will do "whatever" on Saturday.
  Much more tasteful all around.

12. Who cares if it is tomorrow or Friday?
it's irrelevant now. Give her a couple of days to write the speech.

Actual respect and realism are rare here these days.

13. Waaah waaah waaah waaaah! What do you want to do, bathe in her blood?
You will be satisfied with nothing less.

Now now now! Me me me!

Get over yourselves. You should be ashamed to call yourselves Democrats.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't know when you're coming out with the Mao posters, I'm only surprised you haven't done it yet.

14. Well, that was a bizarre, nonsensical rant.

16. Frankly, I'm glad
she's conceding period. I was more worried that it wasn't going to happen.

18. Have you tried stomping your feet?
As if none of your rant against the Clintons could be used against the Obamas. You speak as if
Obama and his henchmen ran a clean and non racial campaign.
