Friday night challenge: When will Hillary end her campaign?

[ProSense]

Respond with a date: I say May 22.

Update on Debt: If Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton would happen to broker a deal to help pay off her campaign debts – this remains a big if, aides said, because nothing has been formally discussed – the money would not be taken from Mr. Obama’s campaign account. Instead, he would have to make a fund-raising appeal on her behalf, asking people to contribute.

The remarks by Mr. Obama earlier today stirred alarm among several contributors. They said they did not give money to him simply so he could turn it over to Mrs. Clinton.

Advisers to Mr. Obama sought to tamp down concern over the discussion. On one hand, they are trying to extend an olive branch to Mrs. Clinton and her supporters, whom they will need if Mr. Obama becomes the nominee. On the other hand, they do not want to alienate loyal contributors who were responsible for Mr. Obama’s fund-raising prowess.

For now at least, the latter hand – not helping pay off the debt – seems to be the most likely course of action.

6. Wolfson was talking about going to the credentials committee on Hardball last night.

They want to find a legal reason to make her the nominee rather than the old fashioned voting method.

26. I don't believe that's a possibility, but who knows what Hillary is up to? n/t

[Johnny__Motown]

7. July 3rd, because it should be June 3rd but it will take a month to convince her to do it

[ProSense]

9. Added only a couple of days from the primary to account for

mass defection. If that doesn't do it, someone can find a big hook.

[State the Obvious]

8. When she becomes the second half of the Obama ticket.

(Bad idea)....but I think she realizes that he has the nomination, so she is trying to present herself as having strength where Obama has weakness.....women, seniors, white, etc. I don't agree...but I do think that is what she is doing.

Watch this week, and see how her team spins this concept. She is hoping to make the case that only she will balance out Obama.....even if she is the VP instead of President.

She'll have called the presser at 10:00, but be 20 minutes late.

She'll ramble for about two minutes before she gets to the part where she's suspending her campaign.

This will come after she has taken May 21 off due to the fact that, when combined with Super Delegates, every media outlet will declare that Barack Obama has exceeded the magic number of 2025 for the nominaiton. Tehre will not be a single media outlet that disputes that count. On May 21, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth behind closed doors as her closest advisors and friends tell her it's over. Expect a visit from Ed Rendell to the Clinton home on that day.

[ProSense]

15. Excellent, precise time and details. n/t

[WeDidIt]

21. Thank you

I think the money will be a factor, but the real factor will be the fact that Obama will have exceeded teh magic number.

[Aloha Spirit]

22. What will I be when I grow up?

Just kidding.
This sounds eerily accurate.
Srsly, can you see into teh future?

11. May 20th

Can you think why?






Scroll down for hint





















Something unhelpful will happen on 5/21


scroll down for answer















She has to report her finances on 5/21 It is going to be a major embarassment compared to Obama.

And her $ 10 million dollar day will turn out to be the stupidest lie of the whole campaign.

Another round of hillarious shredding including the Daily Show. Could even the before the 20th but the 22nd everyone is going to the drug store to buy crazy glue to reattach their asses having laughed them off on the 21st (she usually releases around midnight)

[ProSense]

14. Interesting. n/t

[WeDidIt]

16. Factored into my prediction

but I think that the delegate count on May 20th will be the real deciding factor. She can always reach into Bill's wallet for more money, at least until she tops out the maximum amount loanable.

[grantcart]

23. Its not the money its going to be a PR disaster because

1) maybe she raised $ 14 million and Obama $ 40

2) the almost certainly were blowing smoke on the $ 10 million day

[ProSense]

25. What happens to the money she raised for the GE? They should use that to pay off her debt. n/t

[L0oniX]

12. May 23 ...........2008

[Meldread]

13. When they drag her off the convention stage.

She's going to fight this all the way to Denver.

17. Infinity

19. Oh yeah? Infinity PLUS ONE!

She'll be flat broke and heavily in debt once FEC releases the April numbers.

20. The 12th

[silverojo]

24. She'll end her campaign when Cheney stops snarling. n/t

[MichiganVote]

27. Guess it will end when she is good and ready. So what? Its not like the country is going anywhere.

[ProSense]

28. So nothing. "The country isn't going anywhere," but the primary has a definite end date. n/t

[MichiganVote]

29. Well you know we've had 8 years of fear, doom and gloom. I'm just as sick of the Dem's on this as

the republicans. So she keeps running and losing...so what?

[ProSense]

30. The question was when she will end her campaign, not whether or not she should drop out.

There's a difference.

When do you believe she will end her campaign?

[MichiganVote]

31. I really don't see much difference and my answer stays the same-when she's good and ready

[ProSense]

32. When do you think that will be?

Kidding, it's obvious you don't want to guess.

[MichiganVote]

34. :) I almost beat you with a stick! Guessin' after Kentucky or Oregon...

[Kaleva]

33. She ended it on Super Tuesday

altough she didn't realize it at the time (and mayber still doesn't).

[Exultant Democracy]

35. ...
