Finally!

June 4th, 2008 by Ron Chusid

Multiple news sources, including ABC News, CNN, and The New York Times are sending out alerts reporting that Hillary Clinton will drop out of the race on Friday. While details remain sketchy, it appears she will announce this at a meeting of supporters, most likely to be held in New York City. Reportedly she will suspend her campaign and endorse Barack Obama.

Hopefully this will finally mean we will no longer have Hillary to kick around any more.

2. Update to Post

Update: Later reports say that Hillary Clinton will drop out on Saturday.

Friday, the previously announced date, will be the fortieth anniversary of the death of Bobby Kennedy. She couldn’t even manage to drop out without a gaffe. For a campaign which appeared to be ready to roll over all competition at the start, it certainly turned out to be poorly run.

Speaking of Bobby Kennedy, I wonder what effect having Caroline Kennedy involved in the selection of the vice presidential nominee will have. She just might not like someone who tried to use the death of her uncle for political gain.

3. not so fast.... rotflmao
Oh god Ron, who does this psycho remind you of.

She isn't going to concede, just acknowledge Obama's delegates. Isn't that what she said she was going to do Tuesday?

Now she'll be "leaving her options open to retain her delegates and promote her issue agenda".

4. She really thinks that 18 million are still with her, and gotten on merit, not name ID.
She really thinks the kitchen sink means she's a stronger candidate. But at what cost to her, and to Obama.

Obama has won the popular vote, without Michigan (which illegal election, per MI, was not the basis for seating the delegates).
