ABC News Radio reports this morning that the Clinton campaign has canceled all tv and radio as well as ground campaign events for Wednesday and a strategy meeting is scheduled for Thursday clearing her calendar as well.
Fox News reported a bit of this last hour as well...
Fox reported in the 9am hour that Hillary lent her campaign $6.4M in the past 30 days. Add that the the earlier $5M and Chelsea’s inheritance is going down, down, down. Hillary may not be willing to lend the campaign any more to pursue a nomination that is now all but officially out of her grasp.
She could probably do that too.
She doesn’t want to be bombarded with questions about: why she doesn’t get out of the race and stop dividing the party, the $6.4 million she lent her campaign recently and how she sees a credible road to the nomination without destroying the dem party. If she was smart she would halt her attacks on Obama immediately and run a positive uplifting campaign in the final primaries and caucus. After the PR primary (the last one) she should suspend her campaign and strongly endorse Obama, but she and her close circle of advisers should immediately start making a new case to the superdelegates and party bigwigs that without her on the ticket Obama has no chance of beating McCain. At this point her efforts should be targeted 100% on forcing Obama to name her as his running mate, because if Obama wins she wins, if he loses she wins. Rarely has the VP nominee been blamed for the ticket’s loss, and it’s doubtful she would be. After Obama’s loss she would immediately become the head of the party and their presumptive nominee for 2012. But considering the Clinton’s arrogance and fanatical desire for power, I doubt they’re thinking this way.
Did you see Bill’s face while she was speaking:)
Yup and wouldn’t you know it, not a comment from the media commentators how ole Bill was loaded up on vodka/red bull and coke.
She is not going to drop out. She pumped in over six million the last month so she has to stay in at least for two weeks to recoup her money from sucker donations.
So that really means she’s in till the final primary.

........hmmm.....I wonder if the Dem big shots would pay her $6 mil to go away?
That’s bad for his heart.
She either drops out or decides to unleash some serious mud that they have kept in reserve.
I vote for the latter. Her Heinous did not put up with ol’ Bubba all these years to not get her chance in the White House. It is HER turn, doncha know?! The Presidency is HER entitlement! Hell hath no fury like Hillary Clinton scorned. We ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Sure but doing cocaine is bad for your heart all the time.
If Bill has to be with Shrillary and can’t nail some bimbo, then he has to have some consolation.
That means his old standys: booze and blow.
If blacks are running 95% or more for Obama then I believe Hillary would need around 70% of the non-black vote to win the primary which is very very rare in a two way race. I think Bush got that much of the white vote in Utah and Mississippi in 2004 but otherwise it's unusual.
exactly
Only a suicidal fool would allow Hillary into a position where their death would result in Hillary achieving her goal.
B. Hussein Obama is not suicidal.
There are fewer black voters in Kentucky and West Virgina. She carried about 60% of the white vote even in North Carolina.
Obama also reaped the benefit of several Indiana counties being near his hometown.
Now that Hillary’s dream of POTUS is over, expect Bill and Hill to get divorced within the year. It was the only reason they were still putting up the facade.
Why should she get a divorce. He’s bringing in tens of millions from third world dictators and they don’t even live together so why bother.
Unless she wants to squeeze him for a payout but my guess is that she will get her hands on whatever money from him she wants.
A divorce has to serve Shrillary.
And when she does drop out, watch them make the announcement look like the V-Day celebration!
If she is going to make a back room run at the convention, she could: 1) get her money back in the form of future donations, 2)quit spending money on the campaign and stay on the ballots. She gets enough free face time from the cable news channels to run a campaign.
Shrillary won’t need to spend much on either W. VA or Kentucky and she’ll still win easily. She could spend money to attempt to tilt Oregon but really why bother, there’s no point as no significant impact will be done on the delegate totals anyway.
But she stays in to collect the sucker’s money. Absolutely.
And Lani Davis and all her shrills will go on the tube plenty. She will appear but only in controlled circumstances.
She is not going to be able to muster a back room run at the convention. The SPDs (Super Politician Delegates) will have already committed in large enough numbers to end the matter.
(Obama will need somewhere in the range of 50-100 SPDs after the final primary. There are about 300 or so and he will pick up some along the way so we are talking about less than 1/3 or even 1/4 to wrap it up.
So no riots in Denver. Darn.
“Seems to me she must be in danger of being in the red again.”
With Hillary, being in the red, is a state of mind.
You and me both.
