Clinton Spokesman: She Won't Drop Out Tomorrow
(CBS)
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- A Hillary Clinton spokesman told reporters on a flight over South Dakota that Clinton has no plans of dropping out of the race at her election night celebration in New York City tomorrow night.
“She is in this race until we have a nominee, she still believes there is a path for her to become that nominee,” said spokesman Mo Elleithee. “I think it's pretty clear that she is not conceding.” When asked "Will you deny that she is dropping out tomorrow night?" Elleithee responded, "Yes."
Elleithee went as far as to say that the campaign is currently working on the upcoming schedule saying they are “putting it together now, we’re looking to where we may go.”
Meantime, CBS News Chief Political Consultant Marc Ambinder reports that a prominent Democrat who spoke to Clinton today was told by her directly that she will not drop out tomorrow.
The notion that the Clinton campaign is continuing to look forward to the general election is hard to swallow given the fact the Barack Obama is 46 delegates away from clinching the party’s nomination. When asked if Clinton would accept the 2,118 delegate number as the threshold to capture the nomination, Elleithee vaguely left open the possibility that the campaign may challenge the Michigan ruling at the convention.
Elleithee also denied reports that the Obama and Clinton campaigns have been in conversations on how to end the race. Elleithee said Obama called Clinton last night to congratulate her on her win in Puerto Rico and categorized the call as “very short, very pleasant.”

See all 258 CommentsIf you were there you would have seen the "party leaders cheating Hillary Clinton" Everything was to be public for all in America to see how fair the meeting was. What a travesty!! They would have seen the back room deal (most likely minus the smoke". )They would have seen a deliberate attempt to GIVE Obama delegates that were not his to take! Can the media get us a copy of this back room stealing! A very good source tells me that when they could not decide Michigan, it was finally approved by 1 vote, yet they encouraged others to vote for it as this would look bad, in other words be dishonest! No the non committed votes ARE NOT to be given to anybody. There was not a candidates name on the ballot that was registered as non committed. NOT one PERSON can absolutely tell us what that non committed voter was thinking. Nobody has esp. To vote or say otherwise is To Rob the Michigan voters of delegates that were won by Hillary and therefore ROB Hillary, is a corrupt method and will not be tolerated by the American people. SHAME on the news media for not discovering this. The Democratic committee''s effort to get their "boy" in is a crime and makes the Democratic Party a SHAM..
Hillary only cares about Hillary.
1 They both are liars and cheats.
2 Their popularity rating.

Don''t get offended by the reality. If you live in Hillary-Land it''s kind of hard to understand what''s the reality. Hers is the fantacy world where money grow on trees and popular votes decides the outcome instead of the delegates.
------------------------
LOL she was NOT in all fairness a candidate maybe since a month ago. Just because she is still on the ticket doesn''t mean she''s got a farting chance to nomination and she knows, too. She''s bidding her time hoping Obama will have some kind of "accident" or someting worse... how horrible...lol
-----------------
if it was fine by you...you wouldn''t post that comment at all. lol you say one thing do another. Just like the non-candidate you support.
-------------------
You call over 4000 death a success?? What did we as Americans get out of this meaningless war?? Why was it even waged in the first place? Can you answer any of those?? You have to check your head and maybe re-examine your priority. Instead of blind support of propaganda and failed policy!

Truly strong, accomplished, intelligent women know their own worth and would never think of being the first female VP in US history as ''cow-towing'' to a male, and don''t give a rat''s patootie about trashing and kicking by anybody because their contributions to society would speak for themselves.
Ladies, if you want to blame somebody for the circumstances Hillary now finds herself in, then don''t blame the DNC or Barack, blame me and women like me - white, younger, middle-class, urban, educated. Because it''s women like me who made the conscious decision to put getting guys my age out of the war obligation ahead of women shattering the glass ceiling at this time. My thinking was that because I''m young, I have the time to wait with the trailblazing and that if to get respected as a woman vying for President meant voting for a war in Iraq without reading the NIE first and escalating the situation in Iran, it was a cost I wasn''t willing to pay at the time.
This fight isn''t about women versus men - if you feel like your sacrifices and hardships haven''t been given their due, then blame we of the younger generation. And please keep in mind that many of us had the troops in mind when we voted. Where do you guys stand with regards to the troops?
Come on - educate us!!
This is the end....beautiful friend, the end.......
We''re all better off (including Hillary and Barack) with the two of them together than we are with them apart . . .
When will McCain do an interview with Olbermann?
For those who attack, please read the Rule of Engagement. You are violating them when you personally attack us.
