Developing story on Drudge. No details as of yet.
Superdelegates do not want to meet with Clinton today.

Hillary comes across as being so tough and nasty, that it’s hard to conceive of a gracious concession from her. The Clintons are not good losers. See if enough super delegates declare and make it all a moot point. Maybe she will never officially concede, even if super delegates come out in enough numbers to put Obama over the top. Maybe campaigns never end for the Clintons. Maybe they have a plan for the convention to stir things up there.
The bigger question is the private deal of payback on the debt. I don’t even want to know that little game.
At this point I don’t see how in heck anyone could be suckered into endorsing a check in support of her knowing it’s money put towards defeat. Somewhere in there is a clear statement from a Clinton that those who do write the check out aren’t getting. She knows a person is losing money with the endorsement but she willingly takes it to indulge her feeling of entitlement that was ripped from her months ago. I can’t see how anyone would fall for that but there again is that example of her target voter. The uneducated.
And no, I don't think I'd like to be the one to tell her it's over. I've already seen The Exorcist...
And remind the SDs how the VRWC is chomping at the bit to assist.
What's an SD to do? My advice to them: run Obama and let McCain win. That way both parties have ample time to select and vet our '12 candidates a little better than we did this go-around.
Watch for the vans filled with file boxes leaving the Hillary! campaign headquarters and driving over to the McCain headquarters. 24 hours later, we'll see a concession speech.
You may be on to something. In knowing the Clintons the Superdelegates may take this into their own hands and start declaring support for Obama right now to get this over with. I also agree that the Clintons have no knowledge of how to deal with defeat. In their eyes it’s not over until the say it’s over. I think it’s also a shocker to watch their party turn their backs on them. They’ve been the king and queen of that messed up party for so long. To go down in defeat like this has got to sting real bad. The hardest thing she is dealing with is the fact this was hers to lose and boy did she lose it. Those around her never took into consideration the Obama factor. Although I have to give credit to Obama. He played the one card no one expected. The Oprah card worked wonders. Can you imagine how many times during the say the Clintons use the “n” word to vent their anger? hahahaha.
Hillary’s voters tend to have Less Education than Obama’s. Just because someone doesn’t have a university degree does NOT make them STUPID. Bill Gates doesn’t have a university degree.
It isn't over, and, BTW, what explains this aversion to conflict?
Nominating contests used to be resolved (in bitter battles) at the conventions.
My mother was born during the 88th Democratic ballot in 1924.
The contestants are divided, closely. Neither can get a majority without further developments.
Why the reluctance to let 'em fight it out?
It's the American way.
:)
Clinton has only won 60 or more percent of the vote in one state, Arkansas with 70% of the vote.
It’s all in the presentation of saying one has the uneducated vote. It comes off insulting and that was my point. Anyone funding a losing campaign is stupid. Now go back to bragging you have the uneducated vote and you have to figure in this case it explains where her money is coming from. Stupid is as stupid does.
I’m not impressed that someone like Bill Gates doesn’t have a college degree. I consider him a complete social retard among other things. If the list of successful non educated men and women is so small they are easy to point out then I’d have to say it’s a poor example. Give me more names and a longer list and I’d support the idea that non educated doesn’t mean stupid. In this day and age I think you are highly stupid if you don’t seek out a college education. Just a personal thing but I’m here enjoying the defeat of a Clinton today not here to debate a stranger on the importance of a College education.
It isn’t over? Do you have a calculator that shows it’s not over? It’s over. Watching them chew each others flesh all the way to the convention is a fun little game but it’s over.
Yeah. She has also used the Home Town Girl Card everywhere.
Why Arkansas loves Klintons is beyond me.
She picked all the delegates, all the Supers, and Gigantic Popular Vote net from Arkansas.
Same goes for NY.
In PA, she ran as home-town girl as well.
If Obama wasn’t from Illinois, she would have cleaned up their too, because she grew up in suburbs outside Chicago.

This vote simulator forgets Puerto Rico.
The Clinton camp is dreaming of a 600,000 Clinton vote advantage in PR. 350,000 may be more realistic, but PR will at least close the popular vote count.
If the Wright thing had come out while he was running against McCain it would have gotten zero traction except as a "racist Rovian plot", no one and I mean no one would have given it any credence and McCain would have denounced bringing it up.
Instead the Clintons had get into the gutter because the race was always just out of reach and if they could make Obama unelectable she just might win. The media was split on who to support so the reported the story as it should have been reported and now Obama is unelectable.
Good job Rush. For the record I voted for Obama in Texas because I thought Rush was wrong, it turns out I was wrong.
Maybe if Kramer tells her it's over he can keep his Tony.
“Hillary has only one possible strategy left. She needs to show the super delegates that Obama is not electable in the general election. She can do that with polling but, more likely, it will involve politically crippling Obama with opposition research.
That is really the only card she has left.”
Actually she can still go to the “Vince Foster Plan.”

Nice Catch. I missed it.
