What happens if Obama wins Indiana? Does Clinton bow out?
The bigger question, will Obama give another fabulous speech? Will Clinton concede, or is it too late? Did she give her speech to disavow an Obama win to begin with? What the hell?

3. You're smarter than that....

Clinton will hang on until she is physically deposited on the side of the road.

10. HILLARY bow out? NEVAH!
She'll destroy this country and this party with her delusions first.

By Gawd if she can't have it NOBODY can!

Hillary = CONFIRMED NARCISSIST.

Talk about ELITIST.

11. I have this horrible fear that she simply cannot quit.
The votes not counted are from Gary Indiana, that puts Clinton's current lead in serious jeopardy - she is very likely to lose the state. But she has already given her victory speech and today they started moving the goalposts to Michigan and Florida. The Clintons cannot accept what reality has dished out. Unlike the Bush gang, they don't have actual assets in play to make 'stuff happen'. Indiana is not Florida or Ohio even if the reporting problem in Lake County looks odd. They are done, really done, but they just won't quit.

13. She gave her speech to beat the 11 oclock news and News print on the east coast
Edited on Tue May-06-08 10:23 PM by Boz
This way they report she won even though its likely she didn't. Just like she won Texas and they are still reporting that.

14. If Obama wins Indiana I could see him bowing out the day after
He might as well bow out on a high note than wait around and end up with a crushing loss when Hillary pulls it out, which she'll do without a doubt.

18. Obama won't win Indiana, but it will be close.
Just like Clinton can't win the nomination.

Lake County will go for him, but not by enough.

19. I think she'll withdraw regardless
Sometime within the next few days I would imagine. In many ways, her speech tonight was part concession speech already.
