Hillary-Backer Vilsack: She Should Concede Defeat After Tuesday

By Eric Kleefeld - June 2, 2008, 9:45AM

In a blow to any hopes Hillary Clinton might have of continuing the fight for super-delegates after Tuesday, a top supporter http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/06/clinton_seeks_to_go_after_obam.php">is now saying she should admit defeat after the voting is all over.

"It does appear to be pretty clear that Senator Obama is going to be the nominee," said former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack. "After Tuesday's contests, she needs to acknowledge that he's going to be the nominee and quickly get behind him."

If Hillary tries to keep the contest going after the primaries, it seems likely that some of her backers could withdraw their support.

5. This is why her "take it to the convention" threats are meaningless. Even

her own people won't support that--and she'd need 100% of her delegates, as well as a large portion of Obama's to support her in order to even be allowed to speak.

6. Even the DLC seems to be giving up on her

See my point aobut the DLC has always been that it was a reactionary movement due to incorrect assumptions on why Democrats were losing. Once we show how these assumptions are wrong, in the most direct way possible, by winning, their influence among this party will dry up IMO
