Hillary Should Stay in Until May 20th.
She is the heavy favorite in WV, and KY. If she suspended or ended her campaign this week, Obama could end up losing two states to someone not even running.

On May 20th, Obama will win OR, Hillary will win KY, and Obama will clinch the Pledged Delegate Majority.

I don't think she should stay in because she has a chance at getting the Nomination, but because it will give her and Obama two weeks to mend fences.

Once she drops, the media will not pay attention to her. She needs to use this time, with Obama, to build Party Unity.

She can even work to get a deal reached to seat MI and FL. After last night's vote, she can no longer reach Obama in Popular vote, even if they are seated as is. She could do some great work for the Party between now and May 20th. I just hope she uses her time for the benefit of the Party, and not to try an hurt Obama any more. I don't think she will, because she tried it, and it didn't work.

1. Exactly
If she were to drop out, who knows what might happen. By staying in, she secures that West Virginia and Kentucky go to her, allowing Obama to blaze through Oregon. Especially considering her speech last night, I felt it was a touch of a concession. She talked quite a bit about the future, and just overall the tone was disappointing and somber.
