The banner across the top of our newspaper today says, "Clinton to End Presidential Bid, Support Obama on Saturday."
You need to understand that Hillary hasn't vowed to "end" her campaign on Saturday. She has promised to "suspend" her campaign and maintain control of her delegates. And she has yet to concede that Obama is the presumptive nominee.
What is she up to? She is a Clinton. Either she believes that something could soon happen to render Obama unelectable. Or she is up to something more sinister. Keep your eye on this.

Yesterday sources indicated that she was unlikely to withdraw formally from the race. Instead, her favoured option is to suspend her campaign, allowing her to maintain control over her convention delegates and to continue to speak out on issues such as universal healthcare. It would also enable her to carry on raising money to pay off an estimated $21 million (£11 million) of campaign debt.

Not only that Mike, but she could still technically win. If she has some good dirt on Obama, she could still release it and the Super Delegates on Obama's side can switch over to Clinton, giving her the lead.
Not that it will happen, but could be a likely choice. I've heard from several places that she has some racist remarks from Obama's wife that have yet hit the media, and a few other cards up her sleeves.
