Hillary’s Out on Friday! No, Wait. Saturday!
How many times has the MSM reported some errant rumor from some unnamed insider that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is over. Just a couple days ago, the MSM reported she’d be out after the Democratic committee decided to continue the disenfranchisement of a couple million voters in Florida and Michigan. Last week, we heard she was getting out right after her defeats in the last two primaries (one of which she won, going away). Before that, she was getting out after Obama whupped her in Pennsylvania (where she, again, won handily).
Last night, the latest breathless rumor is that she’s going to call it quits and endorse The Chosen One on Friday. That was at about 7:00 PM. That rumor lasted all of three hours. The New York Times revised the story to say that she’d be pulling the plug and going Batty for Barack on Saturday.
At this point, the MSM coverage of the Hillary Clinton non-concession is looking like an eipsode of Scooby Doo, with Chris Matthews, the New York Times, and the rest of the Obamamaniacs setting elaborate traps hoping to bag a real end to the Clinton campaign. It’s desperate to the point of laughable. Most of the MSM so badly want her to quit so that their preferred candidate can rest a bit, save some money, and so they can start turning their attentions to smearing John McCain (though the New York Times did get an early start). The longer she stays in, the longer they have to keep paying attention to her and the longer that Obama has to work to keep her at bay.
I must say, I’m heavily invested in Hillary keeping things going as long as she can. The longer she stays in, the more great blogging fodder I get and the more crazed and blatantly-biased the MSM gets. That’s nothing but good for me. So, Senator Clinton, when those thoughts of quitting your campaign enter your mind, think of me. Stay in there. I need you to fight, fight, fight!

"Most of the MSM so badly want her to quit so that their preferred candidate can rest a bit"
What do you base this crazy-talk on? Show me how the "blatantly-biased" MSM has been anti-Hillary.
Do you own research. I'd say the New York Times or virtually any given hour of MS-NBC for the last couple of months will provide ample examples.
Even Joe Klein wrote in a Time Magazine column once that Obama has, among his advantages, a "swooning" press corps. And don't think he didn't continue to swoon like a housewife in the 30s, too. The mere fact that most press outlets seem to think BHO's declaration of victory really makes it so, aptly illustrates just how "totally in the tank for Obama" the MSM really are, to borrow a phrase from Saturday Night Live.
J: "Do you own research."
If you are so sure of your statement, you ought to be able to point to several handy examples. I promise to provide counter-examples if you rise to the challenge of doing more than just throwing out unsourced accusations. It's a blog, for God's sake– make with the links!
Or let's start here: I don't see anything incriminating on today's NYT, do you? Let me know when you do. Yawn…

It's called math. If you can come to a different conclusion based on the same numbers, you deserve a Nobel Prize for discovering an entirely new branch of mathematics. Or a basic refresher course.
As Jimmie has already stated several times, Spoots, both pledged and superdelegates are actually free to vote whatever they wish at the convention. Even McCain hasn't actually won his nomination, he's simply the candidate apparent.
That doesn't mean I think Hillary will magically win over the party and take the nomination, bar some sort of Obama melt-down, but technically the race is not over until Denver. Even now that she has suspended her campaign.
