Hillary to stay

Well for a moment this morning it looked like Hillary might read the tea leaves, or the writing on the wall, or go back to learn how to count popular vote, delgates, superdelegates, states won and all the rest but now doesn't look like it, "until there is a nominee" (whatever the hell that means). When is Evita gonna give it up!

HILLARY CLINTON SAYS SHE’LL STAY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will remain in the presidential race “until there’s a nominee.” The former first lady declined to say whether that meant through the roll call of the states at the Democratic National Convention this summer. […]
And in endorsing Obama, former Sen. George McGovern said Wednesday it’s virtually impossible for Clinton to win the nomination. McGovern said he had a call in to former President Clinton to tell him of the decision, adding that he remains close friends with the Clintons.
But Obama has won the nomination “by any practical test” and is very close to a majority of the pledged delegates, said McGovern, who is 85. Obama moved within 200 delegates of clinching the nomination with his split decision on Tuesday of a win in North Carolina and a narrow loss in Indiana.
It’s time to unite the Democratic Party, he said.
