Hard to say.
She is willing to have the country suffer riots to get the job.

A  sane person would have announced today that it was over.
I say June 4th.
June 5th Hillary blames her loss on Bill and files for divorce.
June 6th her and Rosie Odonnell announce they are an item.

I actually went within a week. She is on the verge of being an outcast. Not to mention she is funding her own campaign now.

Normally I would lean to the opinion that she is going to go till Denver. But even her most loyal supporters have abandoned her today. If she screws up the parties chances of getting the presidency she will be in permanent dire straights.

Her big chance to get the nom was Mar. 4 (OH & TX) and she didn't get the massive victory that would have allowed her to win it without a party damaging fight during the convention. It was apparent by Mar. 5 that she had no remote chance at the nom.

She'll carry on until her campaign sinks into bankruptcy. Now her surrogates are trying to move the goalposts again by saying that the total number of delegates a candidate needs is not indeed 2025 but now 2209 (all current contests plus the flawed MI and FL contests).

This morning, Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign made the case that the goal line needs to be moved further back and that the real "magic number" is 2,209. It also laid out a scenario that has the primary season ending on June 3 with neither major contender having reached the 2,209 mark. In that event, Clinton strategist Geoff Garin said, "the process" would continue -- a process that could see Clinton and Barack Obama taking their battle for the nomination to the floor of the party's late-August convention in Denver.

Here's what they're talking about:

• 2,025 is a tick above half the 4,048 delegates to the Democratic convention -- if the delegations from Florida and Michigan aren't counted.

• The delegates from Florida and Michigan aren't being included in the DNC's official count right now because those states held their primaries earlier than party rules allowed. The DNC says 2,025 is the minimum number of delegates needed to be the nominee. Obama is about 283 away from that number. Clinton is about 418 away.

• But the Clinton campaign, which trails Obama by about 135 delegates as of now, argues that the two states' results should be counted. Clinton "won" both, though Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan and none of the Democrats campaigned in either state.

This is preposterous because, as the article mentions, the Clinton campaign is trying to argue for seating the delegations as is even though Obama wasn't even on the ballot. Presumably she wants ALL the MI delegates even though, again as the article mentions, there's no way that is possible since Dems have proportional allocation of delegates.

She'll try to carry on, arguing for exception to rules she previously agreed upon like seating the MI and FL delegates as is instead of having fresh contests or halving the delegates and even trying to turn pledged delegates from states Obama won.

Don't forget; rules, like The Constitution are living documents.




lol,  just imagine the hey the liberal press would be making if the republicans were making such a mess of things.

Vote within a week

She's f'ing stubborn though

She is overdue with a couple of months already so my bet it is she will fight to the end aka never bow out at all ... she clearly doesn't understand that this is just doing damage to the democrats that she clings to a lost hope of being a presidential candidate ... guess the republicans are cheering for her ...

Good read: The Five Mistakes Clinton Made

june 4th. she is too driven and wants the job too much to not let this go on until the last primary vote has been counted.

btw, is it true that, in the US, Obama is generally viewed as being the more genuine, honest candidate, while Hillary is regarded as a power-hungry, self-centered bitch ?
Cause that's the impression that I get from the opinions here.

It depends on which station you are watching.

She's praying for a Fl/MI seating.

and those delegates will be divided up evenly, making them rightfully worthless.

lol.. true. Obama didn't even campaign in those states. I don't know how they could possibly consider including those states "after the fact". Won't happen.. but damn they created a mess.


Who is voting all these never's? .. speak up.

Her ego won't allow her to quit.
