Election 2008 Clinton to Bow Out Tomorrow Night?

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Mon, Jun 2 at 12:03 PM

It’s sure sounding that way. From the Huffington Post:

Hillary Clinton has summoned top donors and backers to attend her speech tomorrow night in an unusual move that is being widely interpreted to mean she plans to suspend her campaign and endorse Barack Obama….

Earlier in the day it was reported that Clinton staffers were being urged by the campaign’s finance department “to turn in their outstanding expense receipts by the end of the week,” another sign that the run at the White House was nearing an end. In addition, Politico wrote that members of Clinton’s advance staff had received calls and emails Sunday night, summoning them to New York City and telling them their roles on the campaign are ending.

Okay, so it looks like she might be done. For real this time. Then again: Everybody’s been thinking she’s been done for like the past 600 years, but she keeps proving them wrong, so who knows. But would this surprise anyone? Would anyone not let out a huge sigh of relief? It’s just kind of ridiculous at this point: When Hillary goes out to dinner, the waiter has to stop himself from asking if she wants her resignation on the dish itself or on the side. Some dude at an Outback Steakhouse in Minneapolis asked her that, and if the tip she left was any indication, she was furious.
