The Supers will allow this to go until June so all the primaries count but I think they will very quickly thereafter move to Obama. No need angering any States or territories over a couple weeks.
If Hillary has any class, she'll concede in the next day or so. Not likely as she can probably win the next couple primaries in KY and WV. Meaningless victories but she's been running on desperation since Super Tuesday.

The other question for her is money though. Can she afford to keep running this thing if the perception is that it's all but over? How's she gonna keep raising money when she's already close to broke?
^^True. That's the one thing that could make her concede. But I think she's come so far that she'll mortgage everything she has to stay in until she's thrown out.
a little late on the post but apparently Clinton is broke again, hopefully when she releases her fund raising totals this will be the case.

I asked Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe just now whether Clinton had given or loaned her campaign more money in the run-up to North Carolina and Indiana.
"Might be. Might not be," McAuliffe said, adding that the campaign would release more fundraising details tomorrow.
In the past, Clinton aides have denied a second Clinton loan, but McAuliffe said tonight his policy is not to talk about fundraising details.
Wow. Now that she's speaking, I'm hoping to all bloody hell that SOMETHING happens with those Lake County votes and the impossible suddenly rams a fist into the jaw of reality.
holy crap did you hear the first few sentences from Clintons too close to call speech? shes claiming victory already and the spin is that Indiana was a tie breaker and now its full speed ahead to the White House.
Au contraire. I think her kitchen sink strategy is intended to prolong her political career and/or maximize its potential.
She's got plenty of incentive to let Obama win the nomination with minimized chances of winning the general election. She'll get to claim he's been discredited next time around, and thus become the default front-runner for 2012.
Ruining the Democrats' chances in 2008 is better for Hillary in 2012. Which do you think she cares more about?
So Indiana was a tie breaker, even though she's gonna wake up tommorrow further behind in delegates and in the popular vote. Hmmmm, yeah. So who the hell is lapping up this sh!t she's spewing?

The dumb arses in her crowd. I just got an email from someone who worked at poll. She said that there has been a lot of people she knows are repubs that asked for democrat ballots
Mayor Rudy Clay came to his headquarters in Gary Tuesday night with a list of voting results showing overwhelming margins for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Many of the districts had Obama with triple digit totals and Clinton with totals in the single digits or teens. One district had a result of 126-4.

Rush Limbaugh has been asking Republicans to vote Hillary to keep the race going. He calls it "Operation Chaos."
Thirty-six percent of primary voters said that Clinton does not share their values. And yet, among that total, one out of every five (20 percent) nevertheless voted for her in the Indiana election. Moreover, of the 10 percent of Hoosiers who said "neither candidate" shared their values, 75 percent cast their ballots for Clinton.
In essence, roughly seven percent of Clinton support in Indiana said they would defect to the Republican should she end up the nominee. Seven percent is equal to 70,000-100,000 votes (larger than her lead as of now.)
MSNBC calls it the "Limbaugh Lift."

So I've been gone all night and catching up on this thread... let me just make sure I got it right before I go ahead and declare Clinton insane.
Indiana was reported going to clinton only by CBS, whereas all the other slightly more reputable news said it was too close to call. During this time of counting votes Obama has been slightly gaining on her lead, yet Clinton decided to go off of solely CBS' results and say that she's won the tiebreaker state and is on the way to the white house even tho realistically speaking, overall she lost the primaries tonight? As in, she is further behind?
Is that really what happened or did i miss something?
the fat lady aint sang yet... and if she does win indiana the delagates will be just a few apart so she wouldnt have been a tie breaker and NC 14% would have made sure of that
correct. aaannd shes still broke, while Obama is still raising money. especially i imagine, after tonight. "maybe she can pawn pawn off her testicles"- ha a pretty ingenious idea for her to raise money that was posted on another site
I'm hearing that results won't be in for crucial Lake County until after midnight EST. The outcome is going to depend on that county.
Unfortunately, I'll be stuck writing a paper most of the night so I won't get to stay fully tuned...
But, to echo wooz, gObama!
That so great Lake county ie Gary has been ignored by Indiana and made fun of for many years. so it comes down to a state that never has a say in a primary down to a town that said state has ignored. lol.. I lOVE This
I'm going off to bed. Even if Obama pulls it out, which is unlikely, nothing will be decided tonight and Hillary won't have to eat her words until morning.

i was thinking the same thing. out every city in America that could possibly decide this election Gary, Indiana would be at the bottom of the list. on a side note, ive noticed that when pat buchanan wants to get a point across he does a karate chop motion with his hands, now im even more annoyed whenever he speaks
