What Will She Do?

Florida and Michigan sort of seated.

Another big win for Clinton in Puerto Rico.

Tomorrow are the last two primaries.

Obama the likely recipient of enough delegates later this week.

What will Hillary do? What will she do?

Will she continue to fight, attempting to get superdelegates to change their minds and switch to her? Will she take the whole thing to a floor fight to make it even harder for Obama to have enough delegates- or if he does- call the whole process into question? Is she willing to sacrifice the election and possibly the party to suit her own political needs?

Or will she do the seemingly right thing and be filled with grace and end it now allowing time to regroup as a party and begin to focus on the fall elections?

I don't know, of course, and the pundits, even amateur pundits like me, have been consistently off base. What I hope she does is on Wednesday to announce that it is over, the votes are all in and even though she claims to have the popular vote, that it is clear that the party rules and organization and the primaries and caucuses have shown that Barack Obama is the nominee. She has stayed in until the last primary and given her supporters a chance to speak. But it is now time to unite.

If anyone reading this knows Hillary personally (well, I can believe in long-shots if she does) pass this on to her. It might be the final straw that helps her decide.

If not, well, we all just sit back and see what happens.
