Clinton is The Spoilsport

---- update: She's bowing to the inevitable according to DailyKos.

Alternet:
As the polls closed in Montana, Obama announced the support of more than two dozen super delegates -- party leaders -- that pushed him far past the 2,118 delegate threshold needed to become the nominee, according to a tally by the Associated Press. In contrast, Clinton had 1,907 delegates.

Clinton left open the possibility that she would contest Obama's delegate totals within the party's governing bodies.


Don't I remember her saying she'd stay in until everybody had had their say, the votes had been counted and one of them had received the necessary delegate count? Well???

The attention, however, shifted quickly on Wednesday morning to speculation about Mrs. Clinton’s next move after she delivered a speech on Tuesday evening that was more defiant than conciliatory.
