Prediction: Clinton Will Fight On
Despite all the math, the lack of $$$, the reality, Clinton will fight on.

Her camp will be fighting forward and the nuclear option will be used for sure.

In their minds, everything changes if Florida and Michigan are seated as is.

It doesn't matter what Hillary said about FL or MI before each of those primaries. They will pretend it was never said.

If you've ever wondered what being delusional is all about, we're all about to see it.

A completely different reality will be manufactured.

Be prepared ... the media will probably accept it, they have so far.

They got onboard the Hillary train when it came to the manufactured 'victim' card she played w/ the help of Saturday Night Live.

They told us she had to win PA B-I-G on the night of that primary or she would be out, then she only won by 9.2% and they called it H-U-G-E, a game changer, and as of last night, continue to lie and say she won the state by double digits.

Folks, the contest wears on.

If anything, last night and this morning is a manufactured reality to set us all up for thinking this thing is over. To lull us into a false state of celebration.

It's kind of like a football game when the winning team and fans storm the field, only to have the refs announce that there's still time on the clock.

Line 'em back up. Get the players who were heading to the showers back onto the field ... this thing ain't over.

Sure, the chances for an onside kick, score, another onside kick, score, and a third onside kick, and score; all in 18 seconds time is remote and begins to question the very laws of physics, but that's the plan.

So now the plan is to plumel Obama to a pulp in W.V. and KY; and do whatever it takes to beat him in OR.

Then, have FL & MI seated as is through the nuclear option and go on to disassemble Obama in P.R., while holding close numbers in S.D. and Montana.

It is very possible that she won't give up no matter what.

Her campaign has pointed out that SDs can change their minds at any time and don't cast their official vote until August. They have also pointed out that pledged delegates don't have to vote with the people they represent.

This could get REALLY REALLY nasty.

Today's conference call shouldn't be a surprise.

While even hardcore supporters like Taylor Marsh are beginning to show signs of admitting defeat (check out her site), Hillary is something all together.

Hillary ONLY has one thing in mind regardless of the collateral damage caused by said 'victory.'

11. The SDs
That's about it.

They're the only ones who can put this thing away.

If Obama gets a huge onslaught of SDs then we might hear a concession speech on the night of May 20 or the afternoon of May 21.

However, if she continues to underscore and underscore and underscore that SDs can change their minds, then H-U-G-E wins like W.V., KY, and P.R. will fuel her cause.

She may fight on until the convention.

14. no, when you plumel you do it with feather
just like the movie Undercover Brother and you know it was only close in Indiana because of sexism, non-stop Hillary bashing on the M$M, er, I mean blogosphere, race baiting, and being outspent.

13. I agree
She will not concede.

I'm wondering if even Obama endorsements from Gore and Edwards would shake her.

Probably not.

This is going all the way to the convention folks.

We're on the cusp of this thing getting very bloody.

I was only in Junior High in '80, but I remember the images of sobbing Kennedy supporters at the Democratic convention that year.

I remember Ted Kennedy Democrats pledging that there was no way they would vote for Carter and that they planned on staying home.

The numbers of the GE in '80 showed Reagan win, but it didn't show the shockwave caused by Kennedy to the Democratic Party that year.

The GOP remembers, which is why they want Hillary to march on no matter what. They know that if they could get a washed up B-movie actor elected to the White House in the aftermath of a Democratic meltdown, that they can get another washed up old guy to do the same.
