WHEN will the democratic dogfight be over?

The Clinton people keep making noises about taking the fight to the credentials committee, and maybe even the convention in August. Don't believe a word of it. I made a gentlemen's bet with my friend Michael that this show will be over by the end of June. That's a sucker bet-- should have made it a fancy dinner, or some other expensive item.

This race will be over a lot sooner than the end of June, probably by the end of this week. I'll go on record-- it'll be over before June 15th. Super delegates will commit to Obama in dribbles or possibly one big splash, very soon. Hillary will concede before June 15th. Actually, as I think it through, she'll probably concede by this Friday, June 6th.

And Obama will NOT immediately announce her as his vice-- he won't want it to look like a deal. But if she REALLY wants the VP slot, and it looks like she does, she'll get it.

Danny, Hillary supposedly concede tonight,
June 3rd that Obama has enough delegates, at least according to FoxNews.com

yup. Per MSNBC.com, AP, Hilary concedes tonight that Obama has won enough delegates, but won't completely end her campaign (I guess she's "suspending" it?). Boy, talk about sucker bets. Did you have inside info on this one?

ok, now CNN is reporting that Hilary will not concede tonight. Whatever. It's over.
