2. If she loses IN, better chance, she'll suspend campaign.

6. No way
If and when she concedes, she will have control of the time and the venue, as she should. It would not be appropriate for her to concede tonight.

No.
Because the Clintons are ambition personified. They will hang on, attack relentlessly, hope he has a macaca moment, and take the mantle.

Bank on it.

7. It would be her best move right now and perhaps the best move for the party.
But judging from what has happened in the last several months I would guess her handlers will be pushing for her not to. Let's see how strong of a person Hillary is.

8. 50 percent: Depends on Indiana
Clinton knows that she is very likely to lose her super lead before the next contest. But how Indiana goes in relation to +- 5 will determine how fast that happens.

If I were her I would think my luck has run out and exit and get back to congress as soon as possible.

16. No - and she shouldn't.
If she does her whole political career is toast - IMHO it's better for her personally to hang in there just a bit longer and get what she can from the Dems.

21. It'll sort of be like Willie Mays in the outfield
at the end of his career.
Now she is playing either for the VEEP job or preparing for 2012.

31. The SDs have to step up en masse to persuade her to drop out
before Kentucky and W Virginia. There is no way she can win legitimately, and Ky and WV will be VERY ugly for him. He has momentum after tonight (GO OBAMA) but will be deflated after those 2 primaries. For the good of the party, she needs to concede. Please???

32. Is WV and KY super white blue collar states?
Does Obama get a piece of the action (some of the delegates) even if he loses in these states?

22. No, no need to
She's still the strongest candidate for the GE and the primary race is, for all practical purposes, still a draw.

Obama can't close the deal, and he can't win the GE, either.

28. It will be Friday.
She knows what is about to happen but by delaying it till Friday she gets it into the weekend dump. She doesn't want this story to linger after all this.

29. She has said repeatedly she will take it to the convention
and I see no reason to doubt her based on her actions to date. She's working the angles and will likely continue to do so until she's dragged off the stage kicking and screaming.

35. my guess: she will never "concede", she will "suspend her campaign"
but not just yet. She will always leave the door open (and i have no doubt she'll be working behind the scenes.

37. No. Even if this were to make her concede, it would be tomorrow or the next day
not tonight.
