Is Hillary Cashing Out?
By Norman Leahy | Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 | Catch-AllThis certainly makes me wonder whether she’s about to put a fork in her campaign and call it “done”:
The New York senator abruptly canceled her morning talk show appearances and had no public appearances planned for today.
She was expected to meet with superdelegates, top Democratic officials, in Washington.
And this, too:
The New York senator was upbeat but conciliatory last night as she addressed supporters in Indianapolis.
“I can assure you, as I have said on many occasions, that no matter what happens, I will work for the nominee of the Democratic Party, because we must win in November,” she said, even while vowing to continue the race.
Vows to the contrary, I think she might be through…or at the very least, making a deal to end her run on the most face-saving terms she can get.

Good observation. It certainly seems that way.
Start getting ready to hear President Obama!
If she doesn’t get the nomination, look for her to sabotage Obama in some subtle way, in order to clear her way for the nomination in 2012. It is not in her best interest to have a Democrat incumbent in place 4 years form now.
