I usually don't do this , but I predict
that Hillary will neither concede or suspend her campaign, and that she will take it to the convention.

2. I agree.
But I'll be cautiously optimistic.

4. agreed
But I hope she takes it to the convention the same way Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich "took it to the convention". As outcasts and outsiders.

6. Kucinich got important anti-war concessions at the convention -
small steps for Kerry and the Democratic Party, but meaningful nonetheless.

I wish Hillary would hang it up tonight and release her delegates, because I don't see that any of her policies are significant improvements over Obama's.

At the very least, I hope that she suspends her campaign tonight or later this week -- and then makes clear that she will hold her delegates in order to influence the party platform, but will not work in any way to undermine Obama's support among superdelegates or pledged delegates.

5. I've been singing that song for a while --
and I'm still of that belief. :-(

7. After today, Hillary will no longer be news.
This might determine whether she shows at the convention or not. She'll have to go back to the hill and do what she was elected to do as a Senator.

11. She'll take it beyond the convention - with lawsuits the day after the convention closes.
This is all about 2012 for her now, and she's going to do everything she can to make sure McCain wins.

14. I think you're right. She should be pilloried by the party until she quits.
