CNN Headlines: Breaking News

Hillary Clinton not prepared to admit Barack Obama has beaten her in race for Democratic nomination, her campaign chairman told CNN.

Clinton said she was "absolutely" not prepared to admit Obama has beaten her in the race, according to Terry McAuliffe, her campaign chairman.

Media reports saying she was ready to concede was "100 per incorrect," he said.

Obama "doesn't have the numbers today, and until someone has the numbers the race goes on," McAuliffe told CNN, denying a report by The Associated Press that a concession was near.

[NJmaverick]

4. Conceding would be the classy and honorable thing to do

We are talking Hillary Clinton

9. ....

:thumbsup:

You nailed it.

All day yesterday I was arguing that she WOULDN"T quit today, and when I saw the first headline I was shocked (and thrilled) I was wrong.

Should have known better.

6. am i the only one willing to wait to hear from Clinton herself?

"She conceding" "She's not conceding" "She is" "No she isn't" "Maybe she is MSNBC says " "But no CNN has"

10. I'm not going to anything as gospel UNTIL I hear it from Clinton herself -

and even then, I'll be somewhat suspicious, I'm ashamed to admit.

I don't think we'll hear from her until she makes her speech tonight.

[EFerrari]

7. This is why I can't watch cr@p not news or mendacity supplied nightly.

On Morning Joe today, there were dire predictions of a weak Obama candidacy. They're indistinguishable from Faux.

[gateley]

11. I'm getting off on it, kind of --

But there's an underlying anxiety that we've got to get it together and COME together so we can ALL focus on pulverizing McCain.

Obama a weak candidacy? Those guys are so lame.

[JimGinPA]

8. Thank God For The Tennis Channel!

I can watch the French Open live, and not one mention of Obama's "problems".

[Andy823]

12. I agree with another post

That stated this was all about taking over the media tonight and stealing Obama's moment!

With all the confusion over what she will do, her camp hopes to get the attention of the media so she will have the spotlight. What she says, or what she does after tonight is anyones guess. There have been so many times when the "end" was near, yet it never happened.

I hope this is just one more shot at being the center of attention, and after tonight she just bows out and lets the Obama camp take on McCain, that's what need to be done, go after him, not waste time with anything else!

[gateley]

19. It wouldn't surprise me if it's a tactic to get press --

I can't imagine one of her staff "leaking" vital info like that if it wasn't sanctioned -- or directed.

Hopefully, there will be an avalanche of SD endorsements - if not tonight, then tomorrow - that will make her little story fade into obscurity.

Regardless, I have no hopes of her bowing out and letting the Obama camp take on McCain. She has disappointed me (and pissed me off) time after time, and I don't give her the benefit of the doubt any more.

13. Woohoo!

Lots of free air time for Hillary!!!:woohoo:

[AllentownJake]

16. The only way she gets on TV

is when she does or says something stupid.

[susankh4]

18. Or when Axelrod blunders.

[AllentownJake]

21. No than Obama gets on TV

however Obama gets on TV all the time because he's the nominee.

[wvbygod]

14. msnbc is trying to rig the remaining vote

Shame on them.

[TexasObserver]

15. We need those 40 superdelegates in Congress to put her out of our misery

Please, please, put her candidacy down for good, congress critters!

You know she's going to be a royal pain in the ass, scene stealing psycho until you do!!

[Shakespeare]

17. I'm considering suing the Clinton campaign for whiplash.

Jesus, folks--it's your last day in the campaign, and you can't even stay on message? :crazy:

[gateley]

20. Good luck on collecting the settlement.
