Hillary Clinton announced last night in Kentucky that she's in this race, "I'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever SHE may be.''

Please not the word NOMINEE.  She doesn't say the words, "the candidate to hit the magic number first."

Even if a candidate should get to that magic number of 2026 (Current DNC rules), they are not considered the actually 'nominee' until all the delegates vote at the Democratic convention in August.

So for those of you, like myself, that were fooled into believing that Hillary would be getting out of the race after the June 3rd primary -- forget about it.

I'm guessing that Hillary's team decided a couple of weeks ago that they would 'imply' that Hillary 'just wants to let all voters across the nation to have a chance to vote in this historical race.  She probably promised Howard Dean and Donna Brazile and others of the Party that she would "refrain from any personal attacks again Barack Obama."

She also probably said something to the effect, "Look at the people we are registering in these primaries, these voters can help us in November, the more the merrier.  Allow me to continue to running and we'll get even more voters registered"

In reality however, Hillary wanted to get as many votes as possible to add to her popular vote count and get within perhaps 100 delegates of the final number.  She would at the same time "shame" the Party into allowing for Florida and Michigan votes to be included.

When June 4th rolls around, even if Obama has the 2026 required delegate count or even a new DNC delegate count because of FL and MI, Hillary will announce that because of where she stands with over 19 million voters, she's decided to stay in the race and wait to see how the delegates vote at that convention, "anything could happen between now and then", she will say.  "I promised a lot of folks that I would be in this race till the end.  I keep my promises and I'm not a quiter"

Don't let Hillary and Bill fool you -- she's in this race to the very end.  If it causes the Party to lose the election in November, so be it -- "I'm within my rights.", she'll say.

If Barack Obama and his supporters, along with any super delegates, truly plan on winning this nomination -- they'd best be getting to that magic number of 2026 -- BEFORE -- May 31st when the Party meets, or risk having any sort of leverage against Hillary R. Clinton.
