Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee came to the back of the press plane as Clinton flew from Rapid City to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
He was asked about Clinton's definition of when a nominee would be determined -– because she has refused to accept the new 2,118 delegates number that the Democratic Party says is needed to clinch the nomination.
"I think its pretty clear that she is not conceding." Elleithee said, "I think its pretty clear that she is staying in this race. She is going, in the coming days, to be aggressively courting uncommitted superdelegates aggressively courting unpledged delegates, making the case to them that she is a candidate best ready to take on John McCain."
...He continued “until there is a nominee we are going to still work to become that nominee. When asked when they would determine a nominee would be selected –- because the Clinton campaign has refused to accept fully the 2,118 number –- Elleithee said, “we're exploring -- she has said before she wants to have this to be resolved before the convention -- we are reviewing our options.”
Eliethee continued, “We do not expect that a nominee will be clear tomorrow night … she is mostly going to be working the phones and meeting with these delegates."
When asked why Clinton was spending tomorrow in New York at an event the campaign is calling a "victory party," Clinton’s spokesperson said, “it’s a good way to close out this phase of the campaign is come to New York bring all of her supporters together, have a big celebratory election night party as we move into the next phase of the campaign which is obviously the courting of these delegates.”

She is very smart. Hussein will tank soon and she has fervid support from Dems who would rather vote McCain than Hussein.
Take a look at what I believe is a typical Hillary supporter:

LOL
Wouldn't surprise me at all if McAmnesty asked HRC to be his VP.
No, I am not kidding
He would have the love of the media, grab all the disgruntled democrat HRC supporters, maintain his “maverick” persona with the media and, do something he just LOVES to do, SCREW CONSERVATIVES.
If this were to happen, third party conservative candidate would CLEAN UP.
hillary is coming off like she’s clinging on by her fingernails. Not at all attractive. What is she thinking??!!
I suppose she hopes the super-ds will hear all this crap about obama and change their minds.
????
sheesh!
Fire up the popcorn maker, put the champagne on ice, it’s just a matter of time.......tick tick tick tick tick......
Local radio news reports from AP say Hillary will announce Obama “has enough delegates” tonight.
Just heard that too - it’s ambiguous though
I just heard it on FNC and they had it on the ticker.

It makes me think something Clinton Crafty is going on.

AP says Terry McAulliffe is the source of the report.
AP - Clinton campaign ends tonight.

Yes and no. It would've been great to see that kind of spirit from a vital Republican candidate but with a winner take all system, mathematically it didn't take long for inevitability to embrace McCain.
The reality is with the byzantine, undemocratic nominating process of the Democratic party, Hillary's case for the nomination isn't really worse than Obama's.
Ole’Hilarity doesn’t comprehend that the Rats don’t want her. They are happy to get rid of both Clintons as are the rest of us. Poor Hil hasn’t got anybody and from where is she going to steal all the money she owes back to her campaign? Should be fun to follow that yellow brick road.
