Hillary will be a great President.

Hillary has walked away from campaigning in Oregon in order to focus on Kentucky.

In other words...

pot.
kettle.

Obama's Sunday schedule:Gresham, Portland, Pendleton, OR

Why would you say that Obama's not campaigning and not holding town meetings when he's doing both? Do you think that people have no sources of information outside of your diary?

McSame will be wishing he had conceded the primary in the summer of 2007.  Barack Obama and us Democrats are going to pummel the old warmongering fool.

You are one day closer to accepting that Clinton has lost.  

"as the heat continues to mount"

Another odd comment.  Obama clinches the lead in pledged delegates on Tuesday. Today he went +6 in delegates.

And he starts a three day campaign swing in FL on Wednesday.  Maybe you should start reading more widely.

Yep, Obama's going to concede, the superdelegates are going to come to Hillary's side, and the skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.

Woohoo, Hillary! You go girl!

Is this diarist going to have a mental breakdown when Hillay concedes?

If Obama weren't being forced to run two campaigns against two opponents, he'd be able to devote more energy to whichever one was left.

And Senator Clinton is certainly in no position to be dictating the terms or schedule of any public appearance for her opponent.  You only get to do that if you're winning.

Hillary will suspend her campaign on Tuesday/Wednesday but not take her name off forthcoming ballots. She will suggest she is 'candidate in waiting' and leverage something for herself between now and the summer.

Just a guess, but it would vindicate her strategy over the last two months, and save money. She's already toned down the rhetoric against Obama. She might want to prove how effective she is against McCain, and secure something - a post or campaign issue - like Edwards did.

It's a smart political move. Unlike some people on this site, Hillary is smart politician and ultimately a democratic loyalist.

I would trust Senator Obama's strategy over Senator Clinton's. How could she have lost the nomination with so much going for her.

I think Josh Marshall had it right.

We seem to have arrived at an equitable compromise: Sen. Clinton is staying in the nomination race while Sen. Obama drops out to move on to the general.

I would like to announce a concession today.  I concede that, though Hillary supporters are a nice enough bunch on the whole, the distance between Clinton supporters at this site and reality grows larger with every new Obama superdelegate.

Thanks Linda.

I do not know about Obama getting ready to concede, but by this aritcle, I know that Hillary is not ready just yet!

"Clinton Takes on 'Those People on TV'"

Share May 17, 2008 4:21 PM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: In Loretto, Ky., today, Sen. Hillary Clinton vented some frustration with the pundits who keep saying the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is over and that she should quit.

"And you know all those people on TV who keep telling you and everybody else that this race is over and I should just be graceful and say `Oh, it's over,' even though I've won more votes," she said. "Those are all people who have a job. Those are all people who have health care. Those are all people who can afford to send their kids to college. Those are all people who can pay whatever is charged at the gas pump. They're not the people I'm running to be a champion for."

You tell them Hillary!

Is Obama Readying to Concede?

Yes, definitely. He'll shortly have all the delegates needed for a total lock on the nomination, and once he has proven he could be the nominee if he wanted, he'll concede to Hillary and return to a career crocheting, which is really his first love.

This is like watching a slow motion train wreck.

Thank you

Obama is as likely to concede as he is to win those southern red states that his campaign keeps trumpeting as in play. IOW not very likely on either front.

And the reason why we have heard less from him is that he knows right now he is in a better position to get the nomination - the more he opens his mouth the more likely he is to have an opportunity to misspeak & endanger his position.  So right now he is laying low.

Someday you'll realize how sad this diary is.

or is the swarming getting to be a little much?

Interesting.  Where was Hillary in Utah, Idaho, Alabama and Kansas?

Very strange. Very sad. I seriously am thinking that  all the pharma companies stock is going to shoot through the roof when she finally faces reality and concedes. Hillary will be fine and will be out campaigning to elect Democrats. It's her supporters who are going to have to wash down bottles of anti depressants. Then of course they'll vote for a Republican. I'm sure that warms Hillary and Bill's hearts to the core. I'll tell you-you guys make them cry.

I hear he is planning his concession speech for May 20th.  Not a moment too soon.  

Propping Obama up isn't working anymore. What will the party insiders and his MSM/surrogates to with themselves. Lot's of Obama hand wringing going on right now.

Absolutely.

Obama is ready to concede that winning this nomination has been tough.

to follow through and finish a campaign.  If he is chosen by super delegates to be the nominee, will he just quite in mid october?
