After a day full of conflicting signals, Hillary Clinton’s campaign seems to be sending clearer ones today — that she will gracefully exit the stage and won’t take her fight to the convention.
The Associated Press is reporting that she plans to acknowledge in her speech tonight that Barack Obama has the delegates for the nomination. The AP is also saying advisers have said that Clinton has made a strategic decision to suspend her campaign and not formally end it, 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.
whatever Hillary wants Hillary gets! I called this one.
