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.”

Because, because because because, because..........
Because of the hideous things she does.....
We'll nominate Obama......
the wonderful Barak of OZ
She is dragging this out and doing a box score on the super delegates. To make them really squirm she is offering herself up as VP. If she does not get it, each of these super delegates has another choice.
The Clintons have no class. If they did, they would give Obama his due and move on. They are preparing for the next campaign whatever that may be.
[Brilliant! And how true! ]
Thank you! Sometimes I say something good, lol.
Makes sense to me.
She could still win this. Something devastating could show up regarding Obama between now and August(?) convention time.
It’s crazy to drop out at this point.
She just said she wants people to go to her website and provide feedback.
Tell her to take it to Denver!!!

I like it, I like it.
Maybe Bill could sit her down and speak to her in a strong patronizing tone to explain to her why she is in such a dilemma and if she would turn her attention to serving him. things would go much better for her....(hehehehe..unfortunately for her frustrations, that probably is the best solution for her in an agape sort of way...)
The truth is that Hillary BLEW this primary by ignoring the earlier and smaller states. She ignored Obama’s media attraction and she ignored her own negatives.
Had she been on her game from the beginning of this primary, she would have gone for his throat sooner.
It’s all on her, but I’m glad she’s gone.
Now we have to endure months of the media and the new messiah. I pray the people are smart enough to see through it.
OTOH, Hillary can look forward to her future popularity,...as a case study of the consequences in human arrogance.
I knew she wouldn’t give up this easily. She always has an ace up her sleeve. We’ll NEVER get rid of these grifters. SIGH.
