Sorry, I see no reason to embrace Mrs. Clinton and her circle. No, she will not concede. Health care issue: as if she has a monopoly on it or understands it as none other. Why then, did she and her husband let it fail way back then? Still, if somehow Obama stumbles or is brought down, she will be standing there with a dormant campaign ready to get revved up again. I predict she will not have the simple politeness and generosity to concede. Oh, this is politics not a tea party. No it's not, but within the party this kind of behavior is obnoxious and noxious. Such a lot of attention-seeking by calling a bigwig meeting in NYC on the night that Obama will probably claim the nomination! It stinks. Look everyone, I'm still here. Bill too. Yes, we all have to come together. Yes, we only have to come around Obama. This applies to the Clinton gang as well: they're only route now is support of Obama gainst McSame, self-aggrandizement or destruction of everything and everyone around them. Let them say what it is openly. You think I'm an old sour puss who can't let go of my anger? Tell me after a few days if you still think that.

On NBC's "Today Show," Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said that once Obama gets the majority of convention delegates, "I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee."

In a formal statement, the campaign made clear the limits of how far she would go in Tuesday night's speech. "Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination," the statement said.

Mixed messages as I've seen in a long time.  Party elders need to rebuke her and as well her key supporters who place party loyalty as paramount especially in election cycles.

Today Mccain praised Hillary. Hillary has signaled she is working for McCain's election so she can say, "I told you so"

The Obama camp should consider very carefully working with her to:

  1. pay off her campaign debt, which I may add should exclude the self loans.

  2. she should have no place on the ticket. This woman can't be trusted.

I haven't given money to the Obama campaign to pay Mrs. Clinton's debts. If she's a profligate, let her suffer the consequences. If she's so strapped, let her sell some of her jewels.

Your campaign money to Obama couldn't be used to pay off Clinton's debts. That would be illegal. If Obama were to offer to help pay off Clinton's debts...what he would do is hold fundraisers for that purpose.

You mean if giant pill bugs eat Obama on the way to the convention? Jus when Clinton couldn't any worse, she says she's staying in the race in case Obama is assassinated. Talk about wishful thinking. Unbelievable.

Tonight will be about Obama. The focus will be on him. He's our presumptive nominee! Let's celebrate.
