If Clinton quits before the convention, what are some key things to watch for in her speech?
  ...and how would you interpret them?

  For instance:

  Would the speech be given live or recorded?

  Where the speech was given from/recorded?

  Who or what is blamed for the failure of the message to take root.

  Whether or not she endorses Obama in the speech.

  Any others that you can think of?

  In this particular race, those leaving haven't seemed to be in much of a hurry to endorse any particular remaining candidates, choosing to utilize their endorsement more strategically so, for instance, I wouldn't be surprised if she followed suit, especially this close to the convention.

  Many of you are more politically-aware of the nuances of these sorts of things. I'd like to know if your ears would be tuned to listen for certain things and their implications.

  My guess is that if it happens before the convention, she'd give a speech from New York or possibly in D.C., live, probably with reporters as opposed to a previously-scheduled speaking engagement (e.g. a rally), and that she won't endorse anyone in the speech, hoping to use her delegates to their fullest at the convention.
