Bill & Chelsea looked as if they were at a funeral at Hilllary's speech tonight: It's Over
Chelsea had that 'I love my mom, this sucks' look on her face.

Bill looked exhaused and somber.

Of course she is saying she is going on. Why on earth would she concede before Indiana was called and she still could pull of face saving wins in the Kentucky and West Virginia? She will try to be VP, count on it. And, I don't trust her not to black mail Barack behind the scenes for the slot. She will keep any advantage she has for herself for her political future. Anyone expecting a concession EVEN after a definitive loss was delusional or very naive about how politics work.

1. They had been crying. It was evident.
I think they have finally accepted that it is over.

They were watching Hillary give one of her Final speeches, and along with it goes her chance of Nomination.

4. I like Chelsea. I feel bad for her.

I stopped supporting Hillary awhile ago. However, Chelsea loves her mom and she wants her to win. She can't be faulted for loving her mother

7. no, but Chelsea isn't the candidate. I'm sure Obama's kids love him, too, and
so did Kerry's and Edwards' and all the other kids.

13. No. I just feel bad for her.

She worked hard for her mom. I don't want Hillary to win because of it. I think the woman has lost her mind to power hunger.

2. Bill was NOT ready to go onstage
He looked very upset and his face was a scary shade of red.

3. If she needs a few days to save face so be it...
The Clintons no longer define the Democratic Party. I hope She chooses the high road from this point on.

6. She may try for VP, but Russert made a good point about that.
(I hate admitting that Russert made a good point ... but he did.)

I don't remember his exact words, but basically he said that Obama may not want Hillary because she represents old-style Washington politics and his entire campaign is based on changing Washington politics. I never thought about that before. My main argument against Hillary as VP has been her mudslinging because we all know it would be incredibly convenient for the GOP if their attack ads could simply use the words of Obama's own running mate against him. However, Hillary's old-style politics could also be a major problem. How can Obama run as the candidate who will change Washington if he chooses a running mate who represents old-style politics? :shrug:

9. I don't think he will make her VP, however she may still try

Or, she will look for Senate Majority leader and her debts paid.

I am just glad the dems can unite and fight McCain. The bitter white people voters who won't support Obama will be replaced by new African American voters and Republicans who vote Obama.

He will win.

11. It could be that Bill feels bad he didn't close the gap in NC. And Chelsea felt bad for him.
Hillary did not look upset.
