The AP is reporting that Clinton plans to concede the race to Obama tonight.
Makes sense, and the clues were clear.
But, in one last political power grab, undermining the media and surely making their campaign look foolish when Clinton does “suspend” her campaign tonight (or whatever word she chooses), Terry McAuliffe has released fake angry statements today about the AP report.
“Clinton will not give up! Victory or death! The media hates us!” seems to be the general theme of the faux-outrage.
I concede my earlier statement — Obama would, sadly, not be helped by having these people become a part of his campaign. The fact that they can’t keep their story straight, and apparently will keep politically posturing in the face of reality no matter what the cost — it’s just too much of the self-defeating “permanent campaign” everyone hates about Washington.
