Clinton spokesperson Mo Elleithee came to the back of the press plane as Clinton flew from Rapid City to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
He was asked about Clinton's definition of when a nominee would be determined -– because she has refused to accept the new 2,118 delegates number that the Democratic Party says is needed to clinch the nomination.
"I think its pretty clear that she is not conceding." Elleithee said, "I think its pretty clear that she is staying in this race. She is going, in the coming days, to be aggressively courting uncommitted superdelegates aggressively courting unpledged delegates, making the case to them that she is a candidate best ready to take on John McCain."
...He continued “until there is a nominee we are going to still work to become that nominee. When asked when they would determine a nominee would be selected –- because the Clinton campaign has refused to accept fully the 2,118 number –- Elleithee said, “we're exploring -- she has said before she wants to have this to be resolved before the convention -- we are reviewing our options.”
Eliethee continued, “We do not expect that a nominee will be clear tomorrow night … she is mostly going to be working the phones and meeting with these delegates."
When asked why Clinton was spending tomorrow in New York at an event the campaign is calling a "victory party," Clinton’s spokesperson said, “it’s a good way to close out this phase of the campaign is come to New York bring all of her supporters together, have a big celebratory election night party as we move into the next phase of the campaign which is obviously the courting of these delegates.”

More popcorn, please
“She is NOT conceding, she will be begging and pleading and whining and moaning, but not conceding.
Someone mentioned that the other PR may have been put out by an Obama shill. I agree.

More popcorn please with butter.
Operation CHAOS continues.
She is very smart. Hussein will tank soon and she has fervid support from Dems who would rather vote McCain than Hussein.
Take a look at what I believe is a typical Hillary supporter:

So much for rumors of Satan’s demise. Now I have to return my cigar and re-buy the popcorn.
The best side effect of all of this is watching the drive-bys come to the conclusions that we conservatives have known for years: 1) Bill ain’t bright at all, 2) Bill really has no creativity, and 3) Bill is in it for BIll. Oh, forgot about the long-suffering wench...sorry Hillary, had you ditched this looser years ago, I might have had some respect for you - even though you appear to have even less creativity than Bill (if that’s possible)
Falso bravado before tomorrow’s primaries. She will drop out after they are over. Obama is in NYC on Wednesday. Look for Hillary to announce her support for Obama then.
I never believed this because I think she would crawl thru broken glass for the nomination. She will be the nomination I strongly feel this.
Let's suppose the Democrats nominate Obamanure and then it becomes obvious that Obamanure cannot win because the tape with Michelle Obamanure and Calypso Louie plays on 75% of the computers in the country, the party "elders" might as Obamanure to step aside and replace him with the candidate who came in second in the balloting for the nomination in Denver (whether or not Hitlery is the VP nominee.)
Of course she "is not conceding". She dug into her own money to the tune of 6 or 7 million bucks recently to keep things going, and the clintoons like their money. I read an article on FR just a few minutes ago saying she was going to concede tomorrow, the author evidently is engaged in wishful thinking. Money talks and her money is saying "screw you dean and the dnc, hold my shot glass and watch this."
Well, the Clintons never give up.
I expect her to say that the voting period is over, but now the super-delegate phase of the campaign is starting, or something along those lines.
And that super-delegates aren’t fully committed, until the actual vote at the convention.
I expect her to stay in the race and that she won’t concede tomorrow. I expect her to say she will see us all in Denver as an active candidate until then.
Anything can happen in June, as we all know.
So, what would be the optimal date for a Torricelli Switch?
Don't even bother to look at the filing deadlines. They are meaningless.
I think October 10 or thereabout would be the best day to pull the switcheroo. So look for the bomb to drop on Sunday, October 5, and Obama to be pulled on the 10th. This would give Hillary! a 4 week sprint to the White House, which not even she could screw up.
I was wondering why the hammer thrower had Obama’s logo on her shirt.
Okay, so who’s really behind the Obama campaign?
I think she willl announce that she is “temporarily suspending” her campaign ... just like John Edwards did. She’s hoping the SuperDelegates change their minds or that Obama stumbles.
