Clinton Concedes

And then there were two....


"WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.

Mr. Obama is 40 delegates shy of clinching the nomination, but he is widely expected to make up the difference Tuesday with superdelegate support and votes in South Dakota and Montana. Once he reaches the magic number of 2,118, Ms. Clinton will acknowledge that he has secured the necessary delegates to be the nominee.

The former first lady will stop short of formally suspending or ending her race in her speech in New York City.

She will pledge to continue to speak out on issues like health care. But for all intents and purposes, the two senior officials said, the campaign is over."

Let the whoring begin. I'm sure she'll present this in a way that he'll look bad if he doesn't pick her. i.e. She has all this experience and the public really wanted them both equally so it would really be bowing to the collective good, etc.

Clinton says she's open to being Obama's VP
Jun 3 03:36 PM US/Eastern
By BETH FOUHY and DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House.

Clinton, a New York senator, made the comment on a conference call with other New York lawmakers Tuesday, according a participant on the call.

The senator's remarks came in response to a question from Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez who said she believed the best way for Obama to win over key voting blocs, including Hispanics, would be for him to choose Clinton as his running mate.

"I am open to it," Clinton replied, if it would help the party's prospects in November.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.

The former first lady was not ready to formally suspend or end her race in a speech Tuesday night in New York City. But if Obama gets to the magic number of delegates, 2,118, she was prepared to acknowledge that milestone, according to aides who declined to be identified.

Obama effectively secured the magic number Tuesday, based on a tally of pledged delegates, superdelegates who have declared their preference, and another 15 superdelegates who have confirmed their intentions to The Associated Press.

It also included delegates Obama was guaranteed as long as he gained 30 percent of the vote in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.

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."

She will pledge to continue to speak out on issues like health care. But for all intents and purposes, the two senior officials said, the campaign is over.

Most campaign staff will be let go and will be paid through June 15, said the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge her plans.

The advisers said Clinton has made a strategic decision to not formally end her campaign, giving her leverage to negotiate with Obama on various matters including a possible vice presidential nomination for her. She also wants to press him on issues he should focus on in the fall, such as health care.

Universal health care, Clinton's signature issue as first lady in the was a point of dispute between Obama and the New York senator during their epic nomination fight.

Clinton was at home in Chappaqua, N.Y., with her husband, former President Clinton and daughter Chelsea. She was placing calls to friends and supporters and working on a final draft of her speech. She was also resting her voice, which was nearly shot after days of nonstop campaigning.

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.

Clinton field hands who worked in key battlegrounds said they were told to stand down, without pay, and await instructions. Speaking not for attribution because they didn't want to jeopardize their jobs searches, many said they were peddling resumes, returning to their hometowns or seeking out former employers.

Clinton officials have said they would not contest the seating of Michigan delegates at the convention in Denver this August. The campaign was angry this past weekend when a Democratic National Committee panel awarded Obama delegates it thought Clinton deserved.


Fucking socialist pinko whore. Please Barack...don't cave in to this nonsense. You don't need her. Take the chance to move to the center and don't risk blowing it to McCain.

She hasn't conceded anything, yet.

Clinton Campaign Confronts A.P. Report

By Jim Rutenberg

In another sign of just how bedeviled the Clinton campaign continues to be, it spent this morning frantically trying to keep news organizations from following an Associated Press report that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede tonight that Barack Obama has enough delegates to claim the nomination.

The Associated Press posted its report at around 11 a.m., prompting an immediate round of blog posts and “breaking news” banners on cable focused on the report’s lead that “Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation’s first female president.”

Within 20 minutes, the Clinton campaign had responded with this statement: “The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening.”

Speaking on CNN at around the same time by telephone, the campaign’s chairman, Terry McAuliffe, said the AP was “100 percent reporting incorrectly.”

Minutes later, the senior campaign adviser, Harold Ickes, called MSNBC to say the report was “inaccurate and wrong.’’

“Mr. Obama does not have the nomination, will not have the nomination, in my view, he won’t have it tonight. Nor will Mrs. Clinton, and they’re going to continue to make their case to the uncommitted superdelegates.”’

While the campaign’s defense came through loud and clear, the Associated Press stuck by its report – which, in fact, did not say Mrs. Clinton would concede the election; rather, it reported that she would concede Mr. Obama had secured enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination but would stop short of suspending her campaign tonight.

Asked what Mrs. Clinton would say if tonight “the numbers are on the side of” Obama, Mr. Ickes said, “When you hear it you’ll hear it.”

At 1:23, The Associated Press made it pretty clear that the situation could very likely arise with a dispatch that read: “Obama effectively clinches Democratic nomination, based on assured delegates in last primaries.” Among other things, it cited “more than a dozen private commitments.”

Others have yet to make the same call.

He doesn't need her, I don't think he wants her either. "Dream Ticket" talk aside, they're too different to be paired together. Their methods and styles of governing wouldn't mesh.

Theres no way Clinton can be that close to power in VP seat without wanting to use it. She'll over step her bounds and exacerbate the work Cheney has done to increase the role of that position. It'll be a constant headache for Obama and he knows it. Her title will say VICE but she'll think shes the President. Her entire term will consist of undermining Obama and setting herself up for the Presidency. FFS the race is almost over, she hasn't shown anything to indicate she'll submit to somebody else's shadow. It won't work she can't do it.
