Imagine a burger joint, where in addition to the normal entries on the menu, you also had this:

"Whatever we feel like burger" - No guarenteees on it at all. It could be a burger with everything on it, it could be quadruple onions and mustard. Hell, it might be a burger patty and a bun and nothing else. Once in a blue moon, it could be a chicken sandwich.

I'm not sure how well it would go over though. Probably not well amongst those with no sense of humor.

"More fundamentally, McCain’s problem is that his party is unfit to govern. As research from the Republican pollster David Winston has shown, any policy becomes less popular when people learn that Republicans are supporting it. If the G.O.P. sponsored the sunrise, voters would prefer gloom." - David Brooks

So, reports are spreading across the Intertrons that Hillary Clinton is planning on conceding the delegate race to Obama after today's final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana.

But, no, that's not right, says the Clinton campaign. We're not giving up. Because, you know, being behind by 159 delegates means you're winning. And the fact that 80% of the superdelegates that have picked a side since Super Tuesday have gone to Barack Obama... why, that means nothing at all.

*sigh*

From appearances, yes, she is planning on dragging this whole fucking thing to the convention, hoping to badger and browbeat enough delegates to side with her, or switch sides to her. Of course, and I could be wrong on this, but since all the delegates that have switched sides thus far have been from Clinton to Obama, I don't see a whole lot of them switching from Obama to Clinton. But if all the current facts aren't going to get her to end her run for the nomination, why would this one?
