NY Times reveals that her aides have indicated that Clinton will concede this week

Sounds like she wants the superdelegates to state their preferences before she concedes.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton working the crowd on Monday at a restaurant in Rapid City, S.D. She plans to deliver a speech on Tuesday in New York.

Senator Barack Obama’s campaign began a concerted effort on Monday to rally undecided superdelegates around him so he can claim the Democratic presidential nomination after the primaries end on Tuesday night.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invited fund-raisers and other supporters to an election-night rally in New York City where, aides said, she was prepared to deliver what they described as a farewell speech that summed up the case for her candidacy. They said Mrs. Clinton was not likely to withdraw from the race on Tuesday night, probably waiting until later in the week, once Mr. Obama’s victory appeared clear.

1. Two numbers to keep in mind

She needs 200.5 and there are 226.5 total delegates (pledged and supers) left according to Dem Con Watch. That means once about 30 more SD announce, it become mathematically impossible for her to win without flipping Obama's SD's.

2. I wonder what she will say tomorrow night?

I hope she doesn't nuke the party by inflaming her supporters.

Why am I skeptical with anything the media says

and even if they have heard it from Clinton's aides, I am still skeptical just by the way she has run her entire campaign

by figuring out that the final exams have already taken place,

then they take the 'source' of the information in the prank into a 'pop culture' reference.
