Poll question: When will Hillary suspend her campaign?
It's getting closer, I can feel it.

Not when SHOULD she, but when WILL she.

8. Hmmm possibly the 8th, but possibly the 15th.

If she's gonna suspend her campaign, she'll want to do it while she still has the majority of the Superdelegates behind her and Obama hasn't yet taken more than half the pledged delegates. So before May 20, 'cause I think it's clear that a lot of Supers will declare once he reaches that mark. She'll want to go out with the ability to say she still could have won it with MI and FL, that she had "been close to winning the popular vote" - so maybe she'll wait till after May 13 after WV. Or maybe the 11th, just before WV. She'll want to look like what she did was gracious and that she didn't HAVE to do it.

But I could also see her staying in to the Convention because it's her one shot, really.

3. Put me down for
January 21, 2009.

This is her one shot, and she knows it. Too far to turn back now to save face or set herself up for another run. She'd never get out of the gate again.

4. She's leaving the door open to suspend it
That's for sure. One has to think that the money is taking a toll on her campaign. I doubt that even if she wins IN that she'll get $10 million the day afterwards. My guess is that she'll suspend her campaign, hope that Obama implodes, hope that McCain starts attacking Obama, and that finally Hillary will emerged unscathed at the convention.

6. When her last GD:P supporter gives up.
Every time one of her supporters posts, an angel gets its wings.

Whee!
