Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will suspend her campaign late this week, senior campaign officials confirmed tonight.
Clinton will host an event in Washington on Saturday "to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity," according to Howard Wolfson, who did not explicitly state that Clinton is dropping out of the race. But other campaign officials said the event will coincide with her departure, despite her earlier reservations about stepping aside.

Said before, I’ll believe it when I see it. Not one second before. And I’ll still be wary until after the convention.

Suspend, not terminate, and she will retain her delegates and keep her options open.

She’ll be back. It is going to be tragically hilarious when she takes the nomination and no ads are run against her. McCain won’t do it and McCain’s crowning legislative achievement dictates that the 527s cannot as the conventions end within 60 days of the election.

the Beast is now officially, the biggest Looooser in history... at least in her own mind she is, and that's what counts!
she has been groomed her whole life building up to this moment in time.
all those years of work, of the cheating, scheming, lying, thieving, bribery and corruption... all for naught.
she was inevitable, it was hers for the taking, and she blew it. how frustrating it must all be.
even her stolen FBI files were no help against some whelp out of nowhere... this clean, well spoken magic negro beat her at her own game, in spades.
she'll prolly be on suicide watch when this is over.

If she throws her weight behind Obama, it’s because she got something for it.

Nope. It’s only a suspension of the campaign. She’s still keeping her delegates until the convention.

I’m going to wait for her speech. I’ve been waiting for this day for ages. I’ll probably throw a party. Hillary Clinton humiliated, having to accept defeat, and the Rats with an incompetent suit as their official candidate.
If only our candidate was someone other than Juan McCain, I’d be thrilled.

Can we finally sing Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead? No, because she isn't. The beast will be hovering over us for several more years, plotting, planning, scheming her next move toward her great Destiny.
To: writer33
Well, at least the writers at the Washington Post are reporting that she is suspending her campaign and not officially “ending” it like all the other outlets were quick to spin.

We can’t yet sing “the witch is dead,” but we can hum a few bars of the “witch has fallen off her broom.”

Too many people are getting a to eager to call this over. It’s understandable, but thanks for the voice of reason.

I can hardly believe she’s calling it quits. I thought she’d pull a coup at the last minute leaving osama hussein with egg on his face.

She’s not officially calling it quits. She’s merely suspending her campaign. She still keeps her delegates till the convention. She can still raise money, etc...
As Enterprise says, “we can only start humming the witch is dead.”

I don't think the Clinton Syndicate is brazen enough to Arkancide Obama in a mysterious plane crash, car crash, heart attack or suicide like they usually do.
Just before the convention they will slip some candidacy-ending story about Obama to the ever-complicit media and she will ride into the convention to save the day. It is NOT over.

Translation: Obama has not agreed to pay off 100% of her campaign debt and give her all her concessions.
Observation: Now we know why obama was UPSET when he was speaking as the presumptive nominee. The msm talking point was the proudness he really looked like somebody who got bad news at a birthday party.
