HRC's website: " Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening."
Just out of curiosity, I checked hillaryclinton.com tonight. This is their statement dates today:

The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening.

1. no, she won't concede tonight. Her speech is supposed to be a celebration of their campaign.

15. And I'm ok with that.
I'd LOVE for it to be officially over tonight, but it is in all intents and purposes and we can celebrate the same, whether her speech is tonight or tomorrow.

2. Fine. Concede in the morning.
Let Obama declare victory. She can thank her supporters, sleep on it, and then concede in the morning.

5. Again, she doesn't have to concede ...... she got BEAT.
It's like a boxer not throwing in the towel because he/she got KNOCKED OUT anyway. It' doesn't matter. Boom !!! Down for the 10 count, doesn't matter if he/she gets up latter and 'concedes' ..... the Champion has been crowned by K.O. Peace. :)

note: she might want to re-think this statement on her website .... if she really wants a chance at V.P.

9. Breaking: Colorado Rockies concede 2007 World Series
Yes, they lost the Series, but they needed some time to thank their fans and asses their next move before conceding.

14. Here's my avatar I just took down because it's now irrelevant .....


She had her chance to surrender ... but instead hung around and just got beat. And now we all are just gonna wave goodbye to her from munchkin land tonight ......

7. If she doesn't concede--she concedes any chance for VP...
She knows no grace. She is selfish and arrogant and deserves to be bypassed by the future...

Why the hell should she be rewarded for bad behavior?

10. There is no chance for her as VP....
She used assassination as a campaign strategy.

Her words against Obama are now being run on GOP ads.

Consider her vetted. She's not qualified (except for perhaps a restraining order).

8. Nice spike.
I think it may prevent the ever-gracious Obama from claiming victory tonight, knowing that she won't concede.

However, she should be ready to do so, since the last time I checked the goal posts, his clinching the nomination is the signal. That she had to say she won't concede means she's still planning her concession.

11. She deserves no attention tonight.
It's over. Not only does she not have the grace to concede like a normal human being * would, she can't help but stepping on Barack's victory tonight. She can't give his campaign one f*cking day in the sun.

F*ck her. She will not be VP. And if she and anyone else that supports that mess don't like it, they are welcome to consult their yellow pages for a remedy.

It's Barack's night tonight. He did it. He f*cking did it.

:party:



* If she actually concedes, I will stand corrected gladly.
