Last night, a defiant Clinton conceded nothing to Obama.

In a speech at Baruch College, Clinton said she needed time to consider her next move.

Clinton ran down the list of every state she has won, trumpeted the nearly 18 million people who voted for her in this year's contests and demanded that her supporters be given "respect."

I thought it was changed to Saturday? Would be funny if she decided to keep fighting after all.

How can Clinton deciding to keep fighting after all be funny, if the script is named “Comeback kid becomes the last president of the US”?

Just wondering, why Hillary is often stretching her mouth this wide open - and why she smiles or cackles much of the time in situations where no normal person would smile. Maybe she is manic or on medication.
