What Will Clinton Do?

| | Comments (0)

There are just two primaries left and the math makes it extremely unlikely Sen. Hillary Clinton will be able to beat Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination. But that doesn't necessarily mean she's going to drop out anytime soon. In fact, her aides have said that she reserves the right to fight on.

Here's what we know:

  1. Senior advisers to the campaign are now suggesting she needs to drop out.
  2. The campaign is shedding advance staffers and junior staffers are making vacation plans with no push back from superiors.
  3. After a campaign swing through South Dakota, Clinton will return to Chappaqua later tonight and will "huddle with advisers" and husband Bill Clinton all day Tuesday.
  4. Clinton will hold a rally tomorrow night in New York at Baruch College that the campaign is calling a "celebration." Ben Smith notes the event "appears to be something a bit bigger than a minor election night in two small states she's likely to lose might suggest."
  5. Bill Clinton acknowledged that today "may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind."
  6. Staffers are being urged to turn in their receipts for reimbursement.
  7. Clinton summoned top supporters to attend her speech tommorrow night.
  8. Most Clinton aides still don't think she'll drop out.
  9. One report says Clinton spoke to Obama about exiting the race last night. However, another report says Obama just called to congratulate her on winning in Puerto Rico.
