Another reason is she is positioning herself to run against Mc Cain in 2012. I think the party leaders think O'bama can win because they are locked into the party line.

Either way, it's her right to stay in and wrangel concessions. If she's VP, Bill will have him off'ed. It's a win-win for her.

Wasn't it you who just about 6 months ago was posting as if Clinton was the inevitable candidate?

The "part line" has always been for Clinton. Look at her support from the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) for confirmation of that. Obama's support is grass-roots not from cigar-smoking backroom types.

The concensus is that any Democrat will beat McCain in 2008 and the polls confirm that (whether true is a different story.) However, I don't think that Hillary is banking that McCain will win. She seems serious about winning this year, for good reason. Clinton is now 61, in 2012 she'll be 65. If Obama wins, she'll be 69 before getting another chance. If he loses, she has to face an incumbant president in 2012.

For Hillary, it's now or never.
